"Bald Eagle Heading for the Nest"
Spring 2016
About our cover!
.
"Bald Eagle Heading for the Nest", photo courtesy of Bruce G. McKee, was taken near Nora Springs in March. The
Bald Eagles rebuild their nests every year in the late Winter and are a reminder of the vision of lifelong learning,
which is to Renew, Revitalize and Reinvent.
Each of our members, both faculty and student, are passionate about learning. They hope to "soar" in their pursuit
of new knowledge and new skills. The Lifelong Learning Institute offers a variety of opportunities for adults 18
years and older, to fulfill these interests.
For only a $99 membership fee, members have access to 2 consecutive semesters
of classes, without graded homework or tests!
If you join today, your membership will entitle you to sign up for classes for the
Spring 2016 and Fall 2016 semesters.
The Spring 2016 semester has a selection of 44 classes to choose from and runs from
January 2016 - June 2016. The Fall 2016 semester runs from July 2016 - December 2016.
Additional membership benefits are described in the next few pages.

Greetings Lifelong Learners,
Welcome to the Spring 2016 semester, and a brand new year. My resolution/goal this year is to
provide new opportunities for you to challenge yourself academically. I believe this semester’s
classes will serve that purpose. When you look through the variety of topics and subject areas
offered, remember to select a class or two that is completely outside your comfort zone.
Why is it important to become a lifelong learner? Here are a few reasons:
1.
You will be more interesting. Theodore Roosevelt was a captivating, conversational
dynamo because he read books on complex scientific theories, art and literature, and understood desert wildlife. You can be as captivating as you acquire more knowledge in a
variety of subject areas.
2.
You will be independent. By learning new things and acquiring new skills sets, you will expand your knowledge base with
more solutions to tackle problems and overcome challenges.
3.
You will feel more satisfied with life. When you have autonomy, mastery and purpose over your life, you will achieve motivation and satisfaction. You arrive at autonomy by choosing what you want to learn; as you learn new skills, you will reach
mastery, and you will have a renewed sense of purpose as you set goals for yourself.
4.
Lifelong learning will keep your brain healthy. “Education seems to be an elixir that can bring us a healthy body and mind
throughout adulthood and even a longer life,” according to psychologist Margie E. Lachman.* The more you know, the more
enriching your experiences will be as you travel, converse, watch a movie, visit a museum, or read a book.
*McKay, B. & K. (2013). How to become a lifelong learner. Retrieved from www.artofmanliness.com
The Lifelong Learning Institute at NIACC offers you many opportunities to become more captivating, be more independent, be
more satisfied with life, and keep your brain healthy. Join us this semester as we explore music, art, foreign language, history,
architecture, mathematics, literature, health topics, environmental issues, and current topics.
As always, thank you for your continued support. Have a safe and warm winter.

the White Worm. Short stories
will also be provided. It is encouraged that those attending familiarize themselves with both

THIS IS NOT A LECTURE
CLASS. We’ve completed our
study of the President’s Wives
and are now moving on to influential women in history. Sessions
are member-led and volunteers
will be asked to research the lives
of women in our history in order
to promote a discussion. We will
be learning about their early education, family, marriage, accomplishments, scandals, deaths, etc.
At each class, we will talk about
2-3 different women. First week
will be the period from the 1500s
thru 1880s; second week will be
1890s thru 1920s; third week will
be 1930s and 1940s; fourth week
will be 1950s and 1960s; and our
last week will be from 1970s to
the present. Resources are available at your library and on-line. If
you have a laptop, e-reader, etc.
bring it along to class. Learn how
your life has been influenced by
these ladies throughout our
history!

BALLET is a formalized form of
dance with its origin in the Italian
Renaissance courts. It spread
from Italy to France to Russia
and began to have a broader influence particularly in the United
States. It is a dance form that
requires discipline of both mind
and body. The class introduces
participants to the beauty and discipline of Ballet. It starts at the
barre using classical music and
goes through 30 minutes of mild
and gentle warm up and stretching exercises. The last 30
minutes will focus on simple Ballet center combinations. We will
concentrate on learning the basic
positions of the feet, arms and of
the body as a whole. The universal language of Ballet is French
so participants will also learn the
terminology for each movement.

The Development of Frank
Lloyd Wright’s Style up to
1908
Instructor: Bob McCoy
Date: Tues. – Feb. 9
Time: 4:00pm – 5:30pm
Location: MC Architectural
Interpretive Center, 520 1st St
NE, Mason City, IA
Course # 101698
This class will discuss the development of Wright’s style up to
1908 and his Stockman House.
Wright began his career designing Victorian houses. See his
Prairie School Style evolve from
his Victorian beginning.
Dr. Bob McCoy and his wife
Bonnie, when looking for a wellbuilt home in 1963, bought the
reinforced concrete, Prairie
School house Walter Burley
Griffin and his wife, Marion Mahony, had designed for James
Blythe and his wife, Grace, in
Rock Glen. Little did they know
that a new phase in their lives
had just begun. The name, Frank
Lloyd Wright, was just a name
and Griffin’s was completely unknown to them. Bonnie, and particularly Bob, had a lot to learn.
The Mason City chapter of an
Australian biography of Griffin
had obviously been dry-labbed
by one who had never been here.
So Bob wrote a 40-page monograph on Rock Glen/Rock Crest
refuting the Australian’s errors
for a 1968 issue of The Prairie
School Review. It remained definitive for many years. He was
on the Mayor Romans’ Commission to determine whether the
Stockman house should be saved
and then, where it should be
moved. Beginning in 1990, after
its move, he and Peggy Bang
were co-chairs of its Restoration
Committee. He has remained involved in the Stockman House
and the Architectural Interpretive
Center and was and is Chair of
the Wright on the Park Preservation Committee. He served seven
years on the national board of the
Frank Lloyd Wright Building
Conservancy and is a national
board member of the Walter Burley Griffin Society of America.
In 2002, he was made an honorEmail us at [email protected]
ary member of the American Institute of Architects. Recently,
the Architectural Interpretative
Center was given his name.

Presidents’ Day: George
Washington
Instructor: Bennett Smith
Date: Mon. – Feb. 15
Time: 3:00pm - 5:00pm
Location: BC200
Course # 101702
The focus of this President’s Day
lecture is on George Washington.
Washington was justly regarded
as the greatest of the Founders
for his leadership role in winning
the War for Independence, presiding over the Constitutional
Convention and establishing the
Presidency of the United States
on solid footing. His commitment
to surrender military and political
power at key moments in the early life of our Republic cemented
his greatness in the view of other
Founders and the American people. The judgment of history has
solidified that reputation. It took
significant Stoic resolve for him
to overcome some of his weaknesses and all Americans and
many people around the globe
have benefited from his life and
vision.
Join us for an in-depth look at the
life and impact of George WashEmail us at [email protected]
ington. A recommended reading
list and handout will be provided,
and there will be a question and
answer session after the lecture.

We will study the book The New
Jim Crow by Michelle Alexander. This author challenges the

feels we have just redesigned it.
What are our perceptions? How
does the War on Drugs feed into
a rebirth of a “caste” system?
How are other minorities affected? Is there a plan to reduce minority voting rights? Do nonminorities have a responsibility?

More German!
Instructor: Laura Grommesh
Date: Wed. – Feb. 17, 24, &
Mar. 2, 9 (Skip 16th), 23, 30 &
Apr. 6, 13
Time: 5:00pm – 6:00pm
Location: MCHS, 1700 4th St
SE, Mason City, IA - Room
#1309
Course # 101711
We continue our exploration of
all things German, which includes the language, the people
and the culture. We'll expand on
some of the topics from the last
session and add new ones. We
will explore holiday celebrations
and maybe even try cooking.
We're especially good at impromptu topics. No matter what
the German topic, we always
seem to have fun. You don't have
to have had the first session to
join us.
Laura Grommesh has taught
German at Mason City High
School since 1992. Originally
from the Twin Cities area, she is
proud to call Mason City home
now. To say German is a passion
in her life is an understatement.
She majored in German at St.
Cloud State University and studied in Germany through their
Center for International Studies.
She visits with and without students as often as possible. Her
students frequently say, "Why
don't you just go live there?", and
perhaps someday she will, when
her dogs are well behaved
enough and she wins the lottery.
(Neither of which will ever happen.) Some would say her life
revolves around school and dogs
and they wouldn't necessarily be
wrong, but she likes it like that.
In addition to her teaching, she is
the Student Senate Adviser, Assistant Speech Coach and MCEA
Co-President. She is also a member of the IASC State Board and
on the executive board of the
Friends of the Mason City Dog
Park.

spiritual practice of mindful attention and attitude of nonjudgmental open awareness. The
class will compare, contrast, and
integrate Buddhist and Christian
understandings of the higher
mind - known in Christianity as
the “Kingdom-of-HeavenWithin” and in Buddhism as
“Enlightenment.” We will look
at how mindfulness can transform self-defeating habits of
chronic worry and depressive
thoughts and be developed to access and strengthen our innate
confidence, peace, and happiness. This course will make use
of lectures, class discussion, and
practice experiences so as to fully engage and amplify awareness of: small Self, broad Self
and No-Self.

The Epic of Gilgamesh (Penguin
Classic, translation by Andrew
George, ISBN: 9780140449198)
"Miraculously preserved on clay
tablets dating back as far as four
thousand years, the poem of Gilgamesh, king of Uruk, is the
world's oldest epic predating
Homer by many centuries. The
story tells of Gilgamesh's adventures with the wild man Enkidu,
and of his arduous journey to the
ends of the earth in quest of the
Babylonian Noah and the secret
of immortality. In addition to its
themes of family, friendship, and
the duties of kings, The Epic of
Gilgamesh is, above all, about
man's eternal struggle with the
fear of death." (from the back
cover of the edition members of
the Circle will be reading)
In addition to the above themes,
the Circle will be discussing the
role of the gods in Mesopotamian
culture, the similarities and differences between the flood narrative
in The Epic of Gilgamesh and in
the Bible, the culture's views on
women and the afterlife.

George Riesen can be joined for
an afternoon of learning the ancient practice of Pysanka, Ukrainian egg dying. This art form of
Central Europe has been practiced, according to archeologists,
since roughly the 3rd millennium
BCE. Pre-Christian symbols
evolved into Christian symbols,
but the basic wax-resist method
remains the same. George will
introduce you to the colors, sym-
bols, and process of creating these
beautiful eggs. The traditional
components of raw eggs, beeswax, candle (to melt the wax),
kystka (tiny funnel with a handle),
and dyes will be provided. Wear
old clothing -- the dyes are permanent! You will have time to finish
two to four eggs, which George
will varnish and blow out for
you. Her hope is to have them
back to you for Easter. Dying
Pysanka is easier than it looks and
is a great opportunity for fellowship and creative expression! Join
George for one of the two sessions and explore this ancient art.
Class maximum is 15. Required

recognize when someone is having a low blood sugar and what
do you do?” “With all the talk
about carbs, what are we really
talking about?” “I can’t have
bread or potatoes because of the
carbs.” “Because someone is
on insulin, does that mean their
diabetes is worse?” “Does sugar
-free really mean one can eat all
they want?” “Why do people
bring angel food cake to potlucks for ‘the diabetics?” “I
have (or know someone with)
diabetes and know all about it.”
This interactive course is designed for those of us who know
people with diabetes or want to
have a better understanding of it
and to help remove some of the
doubts and fears. This class is

Calligraphy is from the Greek:
kal-lig’ ra-fi Greek--kalos, beautiful and grapho, to write. So
calligraphy is beautiful handwriting. Written communication
dates back hundreds of years.
From the early decades of the
Roman Empire to the 15th century, calligraphy was developed
because of the production of
books. Skillful scribes helped to
publish the works of Cicero,
Seneca, Plato and many others.
It was also important to make
multiple copies of Scriptures and
other service books for religious
observations. Paper began to be
used in Europe in the 14th century. Previous to that papyrus and
animals skins were used. In ancient Egypt carbon ink, a combination of soot and gum mixed
with water, was used. Vellum
and parchment are two types of
paper used in early calligraphy.
Parchment comes from the skins
of lambs and vellum come the
skins of calves. Today there are
many beautiful papers available
as well as many types of inks
and pens. Learn the history of
calligraphy as well as practice
writing in this class.
Class maximum is 15.

The Plight of the Polar Bears:
A Photographic Description
NEW!
Instructor: Harsha Jayawardena, MD
Time: 6:00pm – 7:30pm
Location: BC200
Course # 101749
The speaker will discuss the effects of global warming on the
survival of polar bears and the
people of Kaktovik, an Eskimo
village at the edge of the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge. Scientific research has shown that the
break up of the Arctic sea ice due
to global warming is depriving
polar bears of valuable hunting
time needed to survive the icefree months without food. As a
result, hungry polar bears are
being driven to shore weeks ear-
18
lier than usual, the report says.
While polar bears are not considered extinct as yet, if global
warming trends continue, it will
not be encouraging for these majestic creatures. Scientists think
that Polar Bears are unlikely to
survive beyond 2060 if warming
trends continue. This Eskimo
village is considered to be one of
the most remote human settlements in North America. The
speaker also witnessed one of the
three bowhead whale hunts that
was carried out by the Eskimo
villages and will discuss the subsistence hunting by the Inuit people. Come and enjoy some of the
most beautiful pictures of polar
bears you have ever seen taken
in the Arctic Circle.

Classics of Western Literature: Don Quixote
Instructor: Bennett Smith
Date: Wed. - Apr 20
Time: 2:00pm – 4:00pm
Location: BC200
Course # 101753
Last year we read Sir Walter
Scott’s book Ivanhoe and the
possible influence its notions of
chivalry and honor had on its
southern readers in the antebellum period of 1820 to 1860.
Mark Twain in his book Life of
the Mississippi (1883) intimated
that the writings of Scott had so
much influence on southerners
that he was responsible in large
part for the Civil War. Twain
bracketed his comments on
Scott’s novel with some on Cervantes’ famous novel, Don Quixote, and the power of books in
general when he said that “A
curious exemplification of the
power of a single book for good
or harm is shown in the effects
wrought by Don Quixote and
those wrought by Ivanhoe. The
first swept the world’s admiration for the medieval chivalry
silliness out of existence; and the
other restored it. As far as our
South is concerned, the good
work done by Cervantes is pretty
nearly a dead letter, so effectually has Scott’s pernicious work
undermined it.” Twain asserts a
tremendous amount of influence
upon public affairs for both
Ivanhoe and the Quixote, and he
makes a strong claim about the
effect of Cervantes work on the
death of chivalry. Don Quixote
is the imaginative story of a
knight-errant who has read too
many chivalric romances and
decided to go on an adventure to
save the world by reclaiming the
chivalric ideal. In the end he
makes some unique discoveries
about himself and the world
around him that calls into question that very ideal.
Join us for a yearlong reading
adventure of Don Quixote. We
will be using the acclaimed
translation by Edith Grossman.

Cybersecurity: Protecting
Against Online Fraud NEW!
Instructor: Adam Frederick
Time: 3:00pm – 4:30pm
Location: BC200
Course # 101754
Cybersecurity is general Internet
safety, which includes protection
of anything connected to or accessible by the Internet. Technology has changed enormously
in the past 25 years, and it only
continues to develop. The Internet has brought many benefits,
including email, electronic messaging, and Facebook which provide us the opportunity to stay
connected, informed, and involved with family and friends,
as well as shop, plan travel and
manage finances. However, with
these increased conveniences
comes increased risk. Many
crimes committed in the real
world are now facilitated in the
online world. Learn some important tips to keep yourself safe
from the dangers associated with
the online world.
Adam Frederick has been a
technology enthusiast (a polite
way of saying nerd) from early
on in life. He started in the Apple computer club back when he
was in elementary school. From
that point on, Adam's love for
technology eventually brought
him into television weather
where he was a meteorologist at
KIMT for over 15 years. Part of
his love for weather was how the
20
weather is always changing and
how there was always something
new to learn. One could say that
technology is changing as fast, if
not faster, than the weather. That
is why in the mid 1990s Adam
started up his Internet business
that has now become WebWise
Solutions. WebWise Solutions is
an Internet business out of Mason
City that does website design and
hosting, text message and email
marketing, app development and
almost anything on the Internet.
Adam also does software testing
and development for WSI, a
weather technology company that
is a division of the Weather
Channel.

John Skipper is a reporter and
columnist for the Mason City
Globe Gazette. He has taught
Creative Writing for 25 years and
twice has been a guest speaker for
the National Writers Workshop.
He is the author of 14 books, on
topics such as the biography of
Meredith Wilson, a history of the
Iowa Caucuses, and behind-thescenes political espionage at the
1964 Democratic National Convention.

Instructor: Bill Basler
Date: Tues. - Apr. 26
Time: 3:00pm – 5:00pm
Location: BC200
Course # 101757
Are the CSI-type television shows
authentic? Come find out. This
class will discuss the proper protocol used by a criminal investigator during a crime scene investigation. Included will be topics
such as crime scene security, evidence discovery and collection,
laboratory analysis, and the overall mindset necessary to successfully investigate a crime of violence. (Actual crime scene photographs will be used and discussed
during this presentation).
William Basler graduated from
the University of Northern Iowa
in 1974, and worked as a state
criminal investigator with the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation from 1975 until 2006, primarily investigating and supervising the investigation of violent
crimes. He started as an adjunct
instructor at NIACC in 1995, and
became the Program Leader of
the Criminal Justice program in
2006. Bill retired from NIACC in
2010 and teaches for the Lifelong
Learning Institute and is a member of the LLI Advisory Board.
The 100 bed hospital ship visited
countries only where invited, a
“People to People” project, not
sponsored by the government.
Learn about life aboard the ship,
and the intriguing (and sometimes
dangerous) voyages through the
personal experiences from one of
our own, Ann MacGregor. Ann
will recount her journey aboard
the ship as a volunteer nurse, as it
docked in Indonesia, Saigon, Peru, Ecuador, Guinea, and Nicaragua between 1960- 1966. Today,
land programs are organized
across the world.
Ann MacGregor graduated from
the University of Michigan with a
Bachelor of Science degree in
nursing. She founded Mason
City’s Hospice in 1981, and
served as its Executive Director
until 1999. In 2005, she became
the Executive Director of Wright
on the Park until her retirement in
2012. Ann had always been interested in international health, and
the concept of a hospital ship
piqued her curiosity. After hearing about Project HOPE, she applied to join as a nurse volunteer
and served on the ship from 19601966. She says that it was a life
changing experience.
