Time is BrainPresenter: Joseph Adel, MD, Neurosurgeon Each year, about 795,000 Americans have either a new or recurrent stroke. Every 40 seconds, someone in this country suffers a stroke. It is the fourth leading cause of death and the leading cause of disability in adults in the United States. Dr. Joseph Adel, a new neurosurgeon with St. Mary’s of Michigan Neuro-surgery Associates, will share how “Time is Brain” in dealing with strokes. He’ll discuss hemorrhagic strokes, review some of the intracranial pathology and help you recognize the alarming symptoms. A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel ruptures and blood accumulates in the tissue around the rupture. This produces pressure on the brain and a loss of blood to certain areas. Dr. Adel, who joined Dr. E. Malcolm Field and Dr. Naman Salibi this past August, is the region’s only dually trained neurosurgeon in endovas-cular interventional procedures as well as open vascular surgeries.

10:45 a.m. Break11:00 a.m. Program Continues Get Back into Life with Healthy Knees and a Strong Back Presenters: Dan Scheffer, MSPT, MTC and Brent Betzold, MSPT, MTCKnee pain and back pain are some of the most common reasons why people visit their physician in the United States. Dan Scheffer and Brent Betzold, physical therapy specialists regarding knee and back pain, will identify exer-cises, stretches and activities that can get you back into doing the things you love. They have over 30 years of combined experience in treating people of all ages for knee and back pain and returning them to activities such as walk-ing, climbing stairs, running, golf, tennis, swimming, and other recreational exercise. You will learn specific techniques to manage, prevent and protect yourself from injury.

Alzheimer’s Research UpdatePresenter: Gary Dunbar, Ph.D., Executive Director Field Neurosciences Institute Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that damages and eventu-ally destroys brain cells, leading to memory loss and changes in thinking and other brain functions. It usually develops slowly and gradually gets worse as brain function declines. Currently, there is no cure, but neuroscience research efforts are under way, right here in Saginaw, to develop effective treatments and ways to prevent the disease. Researchers with Field Neurosciences Institute (FNI) are actively engaged in research projects that advance the boundaries in neurosciences, specifically with Alzheimer’s disease. Gary Dunbar, Director of the Neuroscience Program and Brain Research and Integrative Neuroscience (BRAIN) Center at Central Michigan University and executive director of FNI, will share some of the recent research he and his team are conducting. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, are translating research ideas generated in FNI labs to the clinic in hopes of offering the world’s first effective treat-ment for Huntington’s disease. The basis of this therapy should be readily transferrable to other neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease

This program is free for members and potential members – there is no need to pre-register.

Upcoming OLLI Monthly Meetings

Location: SVSU Curtiss Hall

Police Brutality & Detroit’s Black Freedom Struggle in the Interwar YearsThis talk by SVSU history professor Ken Jolly examines police brutal-ity against African Americans in Detroit in the first half of the twen-tieth century. This appalling wave of “official police murder” helped galvanize the city’s civil rights forces to challenge local political power while laying the foundation for the post-war Black Liberation Movement. This earlier movement fused local police brutality with colonialism, growing hostilities in Europe, and lynching in southern U.S. states which informed African American demands for political power, self-defense, and self-determination. Examining this history of police brutality and the movement to end it helps sharpen our understanding of police violence in the 21st cen-tury. Dr. Jolly joined the SVSU faculty in 2004. He teaches courses in African American History, the Black Power and Civil Rights Movements and U.S. History.

Live Authentically!Working without purpose and meaning, our lives can grow empty and lifeless. Too often people have a vision for the life they desire, but they just can’t seem to grasp the “how” and find themselves stuck in their fears. Am I good enough? Can I afford to change? What will people think? In this lively and thought provoking talk, Beth Bryce will encourage you to get out of your routine and start living what’s in your heart. You’ll learn strategies to embrace risk and let go of fears that are blocking you from real-izing your dreams. Beth is the Director of Career Services at Northwood University, a Certified Motivational Career Coach, and the founder of Girls to Woman Coaching. She is also one of the co-authors of Women on Fire: 21 Inspiring Women Tell Their Life Secrets.

Wednesday, April 8, 2015The Lullabies of Broadway! Join Jim Hohmeyer and friends for this fun and entertaining monthly meeting. We’ll travel down the great white way of Broadway from the 1920s to the present with Jim and singers from the Midland Center for the Arts (MCFTA). You’ll hear showstopping songs from Gershwin to Sondheim in this lively one-hour program. Jim is the conductor emeritus of the Rochester Symphony Orchestra and the Director of Choral Programs and Music Theatre for the MCFTA. In 2010, he was the conductor of the Hollywood Concert Orchestra on a national tour with Shirley Jones in A Night at the Oscars. Dexter and Laura Brigham will be joining Jim on stage.

This class will first examine some common misconcep-tions in order to identify the claims made by the theory. Then we will examine scientific evidence with regard to the predictions made by evolution. Evidence from paleontol-ogy, comparative anatomy, developmental biology, and genetics will be explored. The discussion will be from a scientific perspec-

The Poetry of Mary Oliver (258)Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award poet Mary Oliver is widely celebrated for her precise descriptions of the natural world that become springboards to reflections on faith, aging, her dogs, and the culture around us. She invites us to look - and to look again - at the quiet events that surround us and through such looking find meaning. Please bring Blue Horses (2014), Oliver’s latest short poetry collection to the first class. We’ll explore a variety of techniques to read and respond to these poems supplemented by selections from Oliver’s earlier works. The class is led by Kay Harley, a retired SVSU English professor.Mondays: January 26, February 2 & 9 10 a.m. - NoonPrice: $22 Members; $44 Non-Members Room: C129

The films include Chronos by Guillermo del Toro, a highly un-orthodox tale about the seductiveness of the idea of immortality; Das Boot by Wolfgang Peterson, which is set on a WWII submarine and told from the German point of view; and Prospero’s Books by Peter Greenaway, an interesting take on Shakespeare’s Tempest.

Religion & Foreign Language

History & Philosophy of God (264)Now that we have a solid grounding in the anatomy and functioning of the brain, as well as the scanning technologies that allow us to have an intimate view of brain activity, we will continue this semester with the Teach-ing Company’s course, “The Spiritual Brain: Science and Religious Experience.” During this journey we will examine such topics as near death experiences, revelations, brain stimulation and religious experiences. Also, we will consider the most interesting duet of “how the brain changes God” and “how God changes the brain.” The two focal points of the class, science and God, and God and the brain, should give us a great platform for lively discussion. The class discussion will be led by OLLI member Ron Taylor.Thursdays: January 15, 22, 29, February 5 & 12 9:30 a.m. - NoonPrice: $32 Members; $62 Non-Members Room: C129

History

The Mystery of Richard III (267)Richard III was King of England for two years, from 1483 until his death in 1485 in the Battle of Bosworth Field. Was Richard III the ambitious wicked uncle who killed his brother and nephews and usurped the throne as depicted by Shakespeare, or was he the maligned statesman championed by the Richard III Society? Does the discovery of his skeleton in a car park in 2012 help us to better understand this king and his place in English history? Join SVSU retired history professor Bob Braddock for a closer look at this mysterious historical figure.Thursdays: January 15, 22 & 29 • 1:30 - 3:30 p.m. Price: $22 Members; $44 Non-Members Room: C129 Richard Nixon: His Rise and Fall (268)Richard Nixon was one of the most complex leaders in American political history. In terms of intelligence, education, experience and toughness, he had the qualities to be a great president. But, he fell short less than two years after carrying 49 states in his suc-cessful campaign for a second term. What happened? Why the spectacular rise and fall? This class will cover his early years through World War II, his rise to the top, the presidential years, and the fall and partial comeback. The class will be led by North-wood University history professor, John Pafford.Tuesdays: January 20, 27, February 3 & 10 10 a.m. - noonPrice: $27 Members; $54 Non-Members Room: C129


Murder by the Bay and Other Dastardly Crimes (269)Bay City during the last half of the 19th century was a lumber industry boom town creating dozens of multi-millionaires as it grew into the third-largest city in the state. With the booming economy came the dark side with vices of every description to lure the coins from the pockets of the working-man. Violence along the waterfront was common, but murder was rare and when it happened it was big news. Sifting through the murder cases of the era, a number of them will come alive in dramatic form in this class. Hear about the killing involving a Civil War soldier which ended in the oldest murder trial in Bay City, a bunch of drunken coal miners shooting a young bride in an Amelith dance hall, a counterfeiting wannabe who blud-geoned his turncoat partner, and the violence and disorder of rioting Polish immigrants in the South End around St. Stanislaus Church as they chased after the parish pastor to lynch him. The class will be led by former Bay City Times crime reporter, Tim Younkman.Mondays: February 16, 23 & March 2 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.Price: $22 Members; $44 Non-Members Room: C129

Tricky Dicky and Watergate: A Nation Deceived (270)This course examines the Richard M. Nixon administration from 1969-1974, with a focus specifically on Nixon’s dirty tricks and the Watergate Affair, as well as the impact of these events on future American political consciousness. Already experiencing a crisis in confidence due to the lingering Vietnam War, Americans looked with horror into the back alley of Washington’s political corrup-tion through the exposes of the Washington Post and other news media. Termed the “Watergate Affair,” this event would super-sede any successes during Nixon’s adminis-tration and illustrate the capability for a pres-ident’s abuse of power. Eventually revealing

President Nixon’s improprieties in office, including support for criminal activities perpetrated by internal allies of the President, such as the Plumbers and the Committee to Re-Elect the President, Watergate altered Americans’ faith in government forever. The class is led by Katherine Ellison, an SVSU adjunct faculty member and managing direc-tor of History Geek Consulting.Mondays: March 9, 16, 23 & 30 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.Price: $27 Members; $54 Non-Members Room: C129

Saginaw’s Early Transportation Systems & Hotels (271)In the 1800s the Saginaw River was the main highway into the Saginaw Valley for trans-portation, commercialism, and culture. Then, the railroads, streetcars, roads and bridges brought more people into the valley. The horse and carriage era was replaced with the automobile in the early 1990s. Over the years, several leading hotels were built to accommodate the large number of people coming to Saginaw. This class led by local historian Rose Ederer, is based on her new Book Two, Where Once The Tall Pines Stood.Thursdays: March 19 & 26 • 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.Price: $18 Members; $36 Non-Members Room: C129

Cooke’s Wagon Road of 1846 and the Mormon Battalion (272)What connection ties together Bay City’s “River of Time,” the Lewis and Clark Expe-dition, the California Gold Rush, Brigham Young, the Eisenhower Road System and the Gadsden Purchase? Answer: Why, the U.S. Army’s Mormon Battalion, of course. If you have not heard of them, you’re not alone. Yet this 500-man infantry unit, specifically recruited at President James K. Polk’s request, proved to be General Stephen Kearny’s “ace in the hole” in securing Aalta California” during the Mexican War. This class will place the battalion in context of its recruitment, service, accomplishments and importance in helping fullfill America’s “Manifest Destiny.” It will be led by Kevin Henson, an amateur historian and Mapping & Project Consultant for Mapntour, a 3D geo-marketing company based in Midland.Mondays: April 13, 20 & 27 • 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.Price: $22 Members; $44 Non-Members Room: C129

Current Events & Social Studies

The Militarization of American Police (276)Americans have always desired that police operations be local in nature, not federally structured. The image of the friendly patrol officer known to the community has disap-peared and instead has been replaced by a new image which appears more like an oc-cupying hostile military force. What began during the “War on Drugs” has exploded during the “War on Terror.” The military armament and tactics witnessed in Afghani-stan are now appearing on our local streets. SWAT teams employing night vision goggles, flash bang grenades and armored former military vehicles are changing the relation-ship between local police and their role in our daily life. Innocent adults and children are the all too frequent casualties. This course will explore the accelerated militarization of American local and state police forces. The class will be led by Jim Johnson, an adjunct political science professor and attorney. Fridays: January 30, February 6, 13 & 201:30 - 3:30 p.m.Price: $27 Members; $54 Non-Members Room: C224


The Constitution: Its Beginnings and Relevance Today (277)Since its creation over 200 years ago, the Constitution remains the greatest legal docu-ment ever written, and it is a living docu-ment. While the Supreme Court continually interprets the Constitution so as to reflect a rapidly changing world, its basic tenets have remained virtually unchanged since its incep-tion, and unchallenged as well. In this class, OLLI member and retired school teacher Jim Reha will explain the background of the Constitution and how it is still meaningful today. Attendees will receive a pocket-sized Constitution.Tuesdays: February 17, 24 & March 3 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.Price: $22 Members; $44 Non-Members Room: C129

The Seduction of America by the Pentagon (278)Since WWII, Americans have been told that supporting the military is an essential part of being patriotic. Corporate America has found it extremely profitable to develop ad campaigns around the phrase “Support the Troops.” We were warned over half a century ago that this would happen from one of our greatest war heroes, President Eisen-hower. His farewell address to the nation implored us to beware of what he termed, “the military-industrial-complex.” We have not only ignored his advice but have become totally seduced by all things military. It is now political suicide to suggest any reduction in the defense budget and as a consequence we spend more on military activities than the next 13 nations on the planet combined. This course will explore how Americans have willingly become seduced by the Pentagon and the corporate interests of the military-industrial-complex. The class will be led by Jim Johnson, an adjunct political science professor and attorney.Fridays: March 27, April 3, 17 & 24 1:30 - 3:30 p.m.Price: $27 Members; $54 Non-Members Room: C224

Issues in the News (279)This class will discuss various issues current-ly in the news. There will be two topics in each of the four class periods. A 15-20 video from TED.com will present one speaker’s view of the issue. Discussion of the issue will follow each talk. TED talks don’t just present a summary of events and their causes, they tend to focus on innovative ideas and broad issues. Likely topics will be the art of democratic debate, charter cities as a solution to poverty, social experiments in poverty, antidotes to apathy, ways to fix a broken legal system, aid versus trade to Africa, and prob-ably a couple on education. The class will be moderated by OLLI member Carol Gohm.Thursdays: February 19, 26, March 5 & 12 9:30 - 11:30 a.m.Price: $27 Members; $54 Non-Members Room: C129
