When Ebola or COVID break out, news sources say, "Scientists' maps predict the disease will spread in these places first." How do health officials know this? This class is an introduction to Geographic Information Science (GIS) and to some ways it's applied in health fields to predict and control disease. Maps also tell a story about the long-term health effects of political and economic decisions. We’ll look also at which maps and data are easily available online that can help you understand important facts about where you live now, like issues of water quality, crime, flooding, toxic waste, etc.

When you think of Mexican cocktails, what most likely comes to mind is a Margarita or well-chilled Corona. But from the pineapple-based "Matador" to the grapefruit derived "Chihuahua", there are SO many other ways to enjoy the combination of tropical fruit, tequila, and ice. Join us on the home patio of OLLI member Susan Carley as spirit master Charles Smith demonstrates how to make a variety of Mexican cocktails. Tastings of these beverages and samplings of Mexican appetizers will make this a fun evening. What better way to prepare for OLLI's March '25 excursion to Mexico!

The central consciousness of all of Austen's novels is a woman, and the reader's perception of the fictional world Austen creates is inevitably guided by that consciousness. These talks will attempt to sidestep the influence of this powerful figure, and to explore from a different angle the variety of men that Austen has created--fathers and sons, brothers, cousins, lovers, clergymen, villains, servants. Consideration will be given to filmed adaptations of the novels as well as to the written texts.

Mexico's film industry has long been one of the world's largest and most vibrant, giving the world glamorous stars, timeless popular songs, and enduring images of stark yet beautiful landscapes, social struggle, and triumph over adversity (though not without a few melodramatic plot twists along the way). This class gives an overview of Mexican cinema from its Golden Age of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s to the experimental and often political Nuevo Cine Mexicano of the 1960s and 1970s through the industry's decline and resurgence in the twenty-first century with contemporary classics like Y tu mamá también.

The three lectures on Michelangelo will be divided as suggested by the title: the good--the works we all think we know and love (the Roman Pieta, the David, the Sistine Ceiling; the bad--the works Michelangelo never finished or that were criticized even during his lifetime (the Piccolomini Altar, the Julius II tomb, the Last Judgment, the Florentine Pieta); and the works that appear, at least to our eyes, painful to view (the Pauline Chapel, the Rondanini Pieta, the Risen Christ). A suggested reading list will be provided, but no advance preparation is required.

Edna St. Vincent Millay was arguably the most popular American poet of the 1920s and '30s, yet today only scholars and staunch admirers know her. A Pulitzer prize winner and proponent of justice, free speech (and behavior), and women's rights, she wrote masterly poems, plays, short stories, and essays. This discussion-oriented class will focus on poems that illustrate her range of subjects, ideas, moods, and forms. No required textbook or homework.

Shantel's understanding of these complex topics came early in life when her husband was injured during his deployment in Iraq. Earning a purple heart in his early 20s, Shantel was forced to navigate the VA (Veterans Affairs), Social Security disability, and Medicare, often ending confused and frustrated. She believes that no one should have face difficulties alone. This awareness has led to her becoming passionate about educating clients to understand their rights and options.
