sionist exhibitions including the first one in Paris in 1874, exhibiting her

our funeral. We will cover the nuts and bolts of end-of-life planning for
all spiritual orientations and discuss affordable alternatives to typically
expensive funerals. Presenter: Ed McHam, Funeral Consumers Alliance
member
“I just wanted you to know how valuable the information provided in the Funeral
Buying class in November turned out to be. My husband passed away unexpect-
edly. Because I had visited two funeral homes and had discussed my findings
with my husband about what he would want, I knew who to call when it was time
to call a funeral home.
Had I not attended the class, I would have been at a loss to know who to con-
tact. Also, I had shared the information I learned with our five adult children and
they were all aware of and agreed with our plans for cremation and having our
ashes placed at the DFW National Cemetery. Thanks again for offering the class
and for the valuable and timely information.” ~Elsie Hayes
Help for 2011 Medicare Part D Decisions Non-credit

Wed 10:00 – 12:00 Sep 8 – Sep 22 (3 sessions)
Medicare titles the period between November 15 and December 31
“Open Season”--when you can change your Medicare plans. It’s wise to
evaluate and compare your current Part D plan to the plans offered next
year. In addition to premium and co-pay changes, you’ll want to know
that your prescribed drugs are covered by the plan. Loyalty of “keeping
what you have” might prove more costly than other plans. A study by
non-profit Consumers Union shows many of “best-priced” Part D plans
one year became some of the “worst deals” the next year.

Great Movies - Reviewed Non-credit

Wed 10:00 – 12:00 Nov 3 – Nov 17 (3 sessions)
Larry Ratliff will review the following:
Nov 3 Romantic Scenes Explores the lure of movie romance. For the
fans the romance is often what keeps us coming back to the cinema. It
begins with Demi Moore and the late Patrick Swayze letting passion get
in the way of making some fine pottery in Ghost. But there’s the giddy ro-
mance of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman during the Paris interlude
of Casablanca, Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford in The Way We Were
and many more.
Nov 10 Great Music This class focuses on the great music from the great
films. Music, when it’s done right, sets the mood, guides movie-goers
through the roller coaster ride of bouncy light moments to dark, brooding
ones. Sometimes, like in Forrest Gump (The Feather Theme), Casablanca
(As Time Goes By) and others, music is the engine that drives every other
element of the movie.
Nov 17 Thrillers Movie-goers love things that go bump in the night; those
moments that make the little hairs spring to attention on the back of our
necks. This class illustrates the power of good filmmakers to scare us half
to death and discusses why we like it so much. Cases in point: The mo-
ment in Wait Until Dark when the very bad guy leaps out of nowhere, the
classic Alien birthing scene, and the intense tension in Alfred Hitchcock
classics (Psycho, Rear Window, North by Northwest).
Presenter: Larry Ratliff, film critic

ings. As deputy director of Mosaic Family Services, Bill Bernstein works

Syrup, Oil and RoseMary – What a Day We’ll Have!

The easy-going rural life of East Texas changed drastically with the
discovery of oil in the early 1930s. A visit to the East Texas Oil Museum
in Kilgore houses the re-creation of oil discovery. Here we’ll view the
people, their towns, their personal habits, their tools and their pastimes.
These are colorfully depicted in dioramas, movies, sound presentations
and antiques donated by east Texas citizens.
We’ll lunch in Kilgore before the drive to Henderson, where we’ll attend
the 21th Annual Heritage Syrup Festival. The highlight of the day is the
syrup makers operating the antique mule-powered equipment to produce
“old fashioned” cane syrup. Other folk artists demonstrate the techniques
of lace, rope and basket-making, blacksmithing, wood carving, quilting
and other old-time survival skills. Folk singers entertain, antique tractors
whine and local organizations offer a selection of food and beverages.
The fee will cover transportation only. Lunch and the $6 fee to the Oil
Museum are extra. No cancelations or refunds after October 15. Bus de-
parts at 8:00am from Parking lot “D”.

Volunteers Say...
Conversation Partners... a magic telescope through which
the students see the U.S. more clearly. As volunteers,
we see their lands and peoples in a new light. It is very
rewarding and one of the brightest spots at Richland."
Jack Lopez Klein
“It just doesn’t seem fair that this is so much fun.”

Nancy Nelson
“I have an opportunity to “get and give”. It is very uplifting

to work with students and see their English skills improve.
It provides me with new friends from other cultures,
whose viewpoints expand my own humanity and help me
be a better citizen.”
Ray Richardson
“What excitement it is to listen to a student work to make

the transition from his native language to English and un-
derstand the effort he’s making. The students’ smiles and
happy greetings to all in the group are compensation that
all teachers can understand and cherish.”

touch are the hardest of all. Entrusting your loved one(s) to strangers is
easier if you have ‘confidence in your choice.’ For over 62 years, Chris-
tian Care Centers has been caring for seniors with the compassionate
care and dignity they deserve. We currently serve more seniors in the
Metroplex than any other faith-based, not-for-profit senior care provider.
We believe in Wellness of the Whole Person, and every facet of our Con-
tinuum of Care reflects that mission.
Research has shown that healthy aging includes keeping the mind active
and stimulated. It is an honor and privilege for Christian Care Centers
to join Richland College in their Emeritus Program, because we believe
these programs assist greatly in maintaining mental agility in our seniors.
We welcome you to join us at Christian Care Centers’ Greenway Village

Retirement Living Dining Room for the following exciting lectures. The

strike your fancy.

Mon Sep 20 Great Composers, Fascinating Lives! Do you picture the

great western composers sitting at their pianos writing music day and
night, starving for their art? Don’t kid yourselves! Some composers led
lives of barely concealed scandal that could have kept the National En-
quirer in readers for years. Many composers had lives that were quite
respectable on the surface, but hidden from the public were mistresses,
lovers, illegitimate children, diseases people didn’t talk about, depres-
sion, alcohol and drug abuse, court intrigues, rivalries, all the human
weaknesses and foibles we expect from more mortal folks. We will look at
some of these composers and see them both as real human beings and
as musical geniuses. Presenter: Gayle Ross, adventuress, world traveler
