MVILR Office Hours:

Monday – Friday, 9:00 a.m.– 3:30 p.m. while classes are in session and 9:00 a.m.– 3:00 p.m. between sessions. The office may be closed from 12:00 –1:00 p.m.

MVILR Time Blocks and Class

Lengths:

Class times mimic SUNY Poly’s regular classes. You will receive scheduling information in your confirmation letter. Some courses may run longer than the normal 70 minutes which will be noted in the catalog. Facilitators have been asked to end their sessions on time to make sure the room is ready for the next class.

Registering for Your Courses:

As an MVILR member, you may initially sign up for 24 academic hours during the Fall and Spring terms and 12 hours during the Winter term. Additionally, you may sign up for Special Interest Groups (SIG) and Wellness and Health (WH) courses (space permitting). Use the registration page to sign up for your classes. Number your course choices in priority order: #1 (top choice) through #5 (fifth choice); mark your SIG and WH choices 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and please indicate the total number of courses you wish to register for. Complete the registration form and return it as soon as possible to MVILR.

Forms can be returned in person, via mail, or fax, using our registration form or hand written (if you’re having printer issues) for record-keeping purposes. Phone communications cannot be accepted. The registration process is first-come, first-served.

When the Weather Is Bad:

Since we serve a large geographic area, the decision to cancel classes can be complicated. In general, if Utica City Schools are closed, MVILR courses are canceled. Sometimes weather worsens as the day goes on. We notify the major news agencies when we close. Please check closings on WKTV, www.wktv.com, or call MVILR for a recorded message (315) 792-7192. Your personal judgment is your best guide; we do our best to contact facilitators to assist in the decision.

Textbooks:

Some MVILR facilitators send out a list of recommended reading. Books may be purchased off campus, at a used book store, through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, or from the facilitator. Some facilitators may also provide materials electronically or as handouts.

Attendance:

Please make every effort to attend classes for which you register. Your attendance enhances each class, affects facilitators’ preparation, and has an impact on room requests to SUNY Poly. On occasion, a facilitator may need to change his/her class schedule for personal reasons. If/when that happens, facilitators are expected to inform their class

CAMPUS SECURITY INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

As members of the campus community, we each need to be aware of our personal safety

options and be observant of our surroundings. University Police Chief Gary Bean and his staff

have an excellent relationship with MVILR and are available to meet our needs whenever a

situation arises. After meeting with Chief Bean recently, he encouraged us to share the following

resources with all MVILR facilitators and members. Our campus is an “open campus” and as such,

all areas are open to the public, when access has been granted, as with our MVILR classes. For in-

stance, many classroom doors do not lock upon closing if the door has been left in an un-

locked position. Increasing security measures on campus is an ongoing process, according to

Chief Bean, and we can feel assured that all safety measures are being addressed by his

department. Another example is why we call x7111 or (315) 792-7111 in an emergency rather

than 911. University Police can respond to an emergency on campus immediately, and then

reach out to other emergency providers as needed.

You can create a cell phone contact in your phone for “University Police” at

the phone number (315) 792-7111 for emergencies, and (315) 792-7222 for

nonemergency situations. If calling from a campus telephone, use the four-digit extension of

7111 or 7222. Those calls are answered directly at the campus UP office.

Other sources of information you may find useful:

https://sunypoly.edu/university-police.html

Active Shooter Brochure:

https://sunypoly.edu/sites/default/files/University%20Police/active_shooter_brochure.pdf

The Oneida County 911 Center also now has the capacity to do a “reverse 911” mass text

message to all cell phones within the geographic area of a serious emergency.

Chief Bean is part of that network system.

WHEN A FIRE ALARM SOUNDS

You and your class must exit the building at the nearest available exit. Exits are clearly

marked – be aware of signage as you travel in the campus buildings. Knowing multiple ways to

enter and exit buildings is a good safety measure.

Art, Music and Literature

1776 — the Musical Tom Talbot Student Center S225 4(2) Weeks Friday 12:40 p.m. 1776 is a musical celebration of the founding of the United States of America based on the award-winning Broadway production. The story centers around the familiar historical figures as they organize a movement for independence from England. The cast includes William Daniels, Howard Da Silva, and Ken Howard reprising their Broadway portrayals of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson respectively, plus the rest of the Continental Congress. All events lead up to that most significant date, July 4, 1776, when the Declaration was signed. Closed captioning is available on this DVD.

A Look Back at the Music of the Early Rolling Stones

Toby Levy TBA 8 Weeks Tuesday 12:40 p.m. In 1962, a group of scruffy Londoners found a common interest in the raw sounds of Black rock ‘n’ roll, and electric blues coming out of Chicago in the far-off USA. Some of the group were still teenagers when the Rolling Stones first performed. Within a couple of years they were writing their own songs and battling the Beatles at the top of the pop charts. The band has been together almost 60 years now, and their earliest music is nearly forgotten. How will the sound of the British Invasion and Psychedelic Sixties resonate in our 21st century ears? Let’s find out as we listen to the first few years of music released by the Rolling Stones.

A Woman’s Place Is in the Film: Women in the Movie Industry — Revisited Lois Silverman TBA 8 Weeks Tuesday 12:40 p.m. This course was canceled for the Fall 2019 semester, but it will be repeated with a brief recap of the origins of films

and the 1920s before continuing with discussions of the 1930s and beyond. Since the first films in the late 1880s, women have been involved in front of the camera. They have also been part of the film industry to a lesser degree behind the scenes. This course, while putting our discussions into the context of the times and societal norms, will explore the role of women in film from the beginning of the industry until today through film clips and discussions.

Acrylic Landscape Painting for Beginners Jeanne Perry Donovan 1231 8 Weeks Tuesday 12:40–3:40 p.m. Anyone can learn to paint. If you have ever said “I wish I could do a painting” or have an interest in learning how, then this class is for you. We will start and finish an acrylic landscape in three hours. Participants will be provided with a color copy of the painting to use as a reference and will paint along with the instructor using a step-by-step process. Instruction will be given on how to create colors by mixing paint and how to use specific brushes with a variety of techniques. We will start painting right away, so be sure to obtain a materials list BEFORE the first class. You can email the instructor directly at [email protected] for a materials list or pick one up in the MVILR office. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes early to set up your materials and easel.

Conversational French

Nancy Ketz TBA 8 Weeks Monday 2:00 p.m. Whether you plan on traveling to a francophone country or simply want to develop your French-speaking skills, this

interactive class conducted in French, will refresh your previous skills and help you to advance to an improved conversational level.

French for Beginners Nancy Ketz Kunsela C201 8 Weeks Wednesday 2:00 p.m. So you never studied French before? Or maybe you forgot everything you had previously learned? This class is for you. It is an interactive introductory course where we will master some basic French vocabulary and phrases. German Romantic Opera and German Nationalism Stephen Keyser Student Center S225 4 Weeks (4/6–4/27) Monday 10:40 a.m.

Opera is no stranger to the political and cultural influences of its era. We will look at operas by Mozart, Beethoven, Weber, and Wagner with a view to understanding not only their musicological context, but also their political and philosophical elements. We will try to understand how these operas are reflections of their

times, but may be influencers as well. Consider, as a model, the impact of the music of the 60s on the antiwar movement.

Humorous Short Stories Steven Critelli TBA 8 Weeks Thursday 12:40 p.m. In a departure from my usual short story class, these stories explore different types of humor in order to enjoy the wit, wisdom, and foibles of human nature. The course embraces a wide range of humor from different writers and eras, from the 19th-century’s greatest humorist, Mark Twain, to 20th-century masters like P.G. Wodehouse, Woody Allen, David Sedaris, and others. Classroom participants will be required to read the assigned stories in the week preceding each class.

Listening To and Discussing Music from the Great American Songbook Mike DiMeo Student Center S225 4(1) Weeks Thursday 10:40 a.m.

Listen and discuss popular music and songwriters from the ‘40s, ‘50s, and ‘60s. Involves some research

between classes.

Sisters in Crime Janet Hoover TBA 4(2) Weeks Friday 10:40 a.m. This book discussion series will explore the lives and writing of two mystery writers whose books not only offer an Intriguing mystery to solve, but for whom the setting of the story is essential to the story — Donna Leon’s Death at La Fenice (Venice, Italy) and Sharon McCrumb’s The Rosewood Casket (Appalachian Mountains). The facilitator will offer background information on the authors and lead us as we explore the ways the authors use

character and location to weave stories of intrigue and drama. Weeks 1 and 2 will focus on Leon, 3 and 4 on McCrumb.

The Search for Truth: Velázquez, Picasso, and Dali

Jeremy Medina TBA 2 Weeks (4/1, 4/8) Wednesday 2:00 p.m. This is the continuation of the Winter term’s in-depth study of the works of three of Spain’s greatest painters. This two-week session will be primarily dedicated to the work of Salvador Dali. Students enrolled in the earlier course will be automatically enrolled in this completion, but newcomers are also welcome. The focus will continue the theme of the search for truth in art, previously seen in realistic depiction (Velázquez) and the expression of emotion (Picasso). With Dalí we will see the search for truth in personal self-revelation, within the context of the painter's surrealistic attempt to reflect the subconscious. Again, we will analyze the paintings in detail, including pertinent reference to historical and biographical information. The main objective will still be "to guide the participants towards a real understanding and appreciation of a unique master, "beyond the superficial platitudes of a typical museum guide" — in other words, to have fun.

Writing Workshop Ruth Dandrea Kunsela C204 8 Weeks Monday 9:20 a.m. This class will follow writing workshop methods created by Natalie Goldberg (Writing Down the Bones). It will involve

in-class writing, out-of-class writing, reading our work, listening to others read their work, and specific lessons in technique and style. It will encourage writing practice as a way to think and grow and live.

Computer Science

Android Cell Phone Basics David Meislin TBA 4(1) Weeks Friday 10:40 a.m.

So, you bought an Android phone and need some tips on how to operate it and get the most out of it. We will start with the basics of day-to-day operation, and move to the “fun” things you can do with your smart phone. Join me as we navigate your phone from powering up to updating its software. Sorry phone users, this class is about the Android phone only (not the Apple Iphone).

Basic Computer Skills Charleen Pernat TBA 8 Weeks Thursday 10:40 a.m.

Everyone needs to use a computer today: for banking, bill paying, keeping in touch with friends and family, looking up and documenting information, or entertainment. This class is designed to help you with the basic computer skills necessary to adequately perform any of these tasks. We will cover elusive computer terminology, correct usage of the mouse and other devices, unpublished shortcuts and tricks, useful software applications, and much more. There are no prerequisites for this course.

The Internet Is Amazing Frank Calidonna TBA 4(1) Weeks Friday 12:40 p.m. Using the Internet is one of the most useful and fun things to do with a computer. If you only check email and a couple of sites you are missing out. There is a truly amazing world out there that you may not realize. This class will

also be about safety using the Internet. We will cover browsers, searching the web for information, forums, news and weather, and various other sites. We will also cover how to safely use the Internet for banking, shopping, booking

travel, good and bad medical information, and social network sites.

Financial & Legal Combat Investing — A Survivalist’s Guide To Understanding and Analyzing Mutual Funds, Insurance Annuities, and Retirement Plan Strategies

Elliott Friedman Kunsela C102 4(2) Weeks Tuesday 12:40 p.m. Combat Investing is back! This very informative, user-friendly “nuts and bolts” course will empower you in the world of bonds, bond funds, stocks, and stock funds. It will include a breakdown of the various types of mutual funds, and how to analyze and decipher them by using fund fact sheets and mutual fund prospectes. Also included will be

retirement tips and how to avoid IRA disasters. The magic of TOD (Transfer on Death) will also be discussed, which one will find amazing in terms of estate planning and taxes. Confused on insurance annuities and how they work? A detailed comprehensive overview on what you must know will be explained. You will be surprised. This course may be worth its weight in gold!

Estate and Medicaid Planning Smorgasbord, I and II D. Victor Pellegrino TBA 8 Weeks Friday 9:20 a.m. Estate and Medicaid planning covers a wide range of planning strategies and techniques. These two courses give the students control over the subjects to be covered because they are given the opportunity to select the topics they would like to discuss. A menu of course materials that members can choose to be covered will be emailed before the first class. Every effort will be made to ensure each student will get exactly what they are interested in.

People’s Law School Leland McCormac TBA 8 Weeks Friday 2:00 p.m. Lectures by local attorneys and judges with an emphasis on issues related to local government and high-profile cases.

Philosophy & Religion

A Medley of Religions Henry Bamberger Kunsela C204 4(1) Weeks Wednesday 9:20 a.m. Our area is blessed in having many religions and denominations practiced here. In this course we will learn from outstanding leaders from four of them. Each week we will host a different speaker. Come with an open mind and a readiness to ask questions.

Free Will?

Rick Werner TBA 4 classes Th. 5/14, T. 5/19, Th. 5/21, T. 5/26 10:40 a.m. Every event has a cause. Human actions, choices, and intentions are events. So, human actions, choices, and intentions are caused. But if they are caused we are not responsible for them. Therefore, we are not responsible for our actions, thoughts, and intentions. Is the argument for determination sound? If so, is free will an illusion? If so, is moral responsibility an illusion? Class will meet 5/14, 5/19, 5/21 and 5/26.

Poems That Stimulate Spiritual Imagination

Robert Umidi Cayan Library Mele Room 4(1) Weeks Monday 12:40 p.m. Good poems can reveal new insight and inspiration about many dimensions of human experience, nature, or the universe. Often, they can shine new light on one’s religious belief and stimulate our spiritual imagination. This four-session class will share poems that have excited the spiritual imagination of the facilitator and students alike.

Participants will be encouraged to bring in poems to share in sessions two through four. We will read them, discuss the response they evoke in general, and then explore how they inform and excite our spiritual questions and longings. Hopefully, contributions will come from a variety of religious traditions and poets. Our goal is not to read “religious” poems per se, like the Psalms and other poetic portions of the Bible; nor is our interest in the sentimental religious poetry often used for greeting cards, etc. Rather, we are seeking poems and poets that provide us with new insight that can be used to fuel the spiritual dimension of our lives.

The History of Whiskey in America Frank Calidonna TBA 4(2) Weeks Friday 12:40 p.m. Whiskey. Approve or disapprove, love it or hate it, alcoholic beverages have been with us since the beginning of

Whiskey played many crucial roles in the story of America. It also has a very colorful American history of its own. Both will be the subject of this class.

The Roaring Twenties Lynn Henry TBA 4(1) Weeks Friday 12:40 p.m. The Roaring Twenties was a time of Flappers, unrestrained exuberance, increasing wealth, and moderate government

intervention. After WW I, the people in the United States were eager to enjoy life after the restraint and work that occurred during the war. We will talk about Prohibition, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Calvin Coolidge,

Herbert Hoover, and the racism of the 20s. It was the time that preceded the Great Depression. It was a time to party before the storm. If you feel as if you missed the greatest time in your life, this course is for you.

How Do I Decide? Making Better Decisions Rabbi Peter Schaktman Student Center S225 8 Weeks Tuesday 9:20 a.m.

We’re all called on to make decisions many times throughout the day, every day. The outcome of some decisions is sometimes relatively insignificant (what to have for dinner); other decisions we make can have serious and/or long-lasting implications (like buying an insurance policy or deciding to move). In considering the decisions before us, we mostly rely on intuition and experience. But that intuitive process, psychologists tell us, is often disrupted by a variety of biases: We’re overconfident. We seek out information that supports us and downplay information that doesn’t. We get distracted by short-term emotions. How can we do better? Together, we will learn more about these roadblocks to effective decision making. We will review a four-step process designed to counteract our biases. The content of the course is based on the best-selling book Decisive, by Chip and Dan Heath. By the time we are done, participants will never make decisions quite the same way again. Students are strongly encouraged to obtain the book, and if possible, begin reading it prior to the course. Class will ideally be devoted to looking at examples of real-life decisions, and applying the process described in the book to them.

Introduction to Birding Henry Bamberger Kunsela C204 4(2) Weeks Wednesday 9:20 a.m. (first session) Birds are beautiful and interesting. Birding (or bird watching if you prefer) is a wonderful hobby. It can be as active or as sedentary as you like. In this course, we will spend our first session indoors, learning some basics. Our other three sessions — weather permitting — will be spent at good birding locations looking for birds, learning to identify them, and observing their behaviors. Nothing technical. No previous experience needed. Note: The first session will be at 9:20 a.m. The others will be at an earlier time to be determined at the first session.

Mah Jongg Come & Play

Gloria Schaeffer Kunsela Doolittle Reception Area Ongoing Thursday 12:00 p.m. Come and join the Mah Jongg players who have “graduated” from “Mah Jongg: Learn To Play” and have moved on to the next level. The group meets Thursdays throughout the year. There is an $8.00 charge for a Mah Jongg card (as of

April 1st all players will need a new card). There is a coupon on page 21 of this catalog. Please make checks payable to Sue DeLaire.

Mah Jongg Learn To Play Gloria Schaeffer Kunsela Doolittle Reception Area 8 Weeks Thursday 2:00 p.m. Mah Jongg, which means “sparrow,” is a western version of an old Chinese game. The game consists of 152

engraved Chinese symbols and character tiles. Beginners learn the basics of a challenging game. It is played with four persons. We use Mah Jongg cards produced by the National Mah Jongg League as the basis of the game.

The League charges $8 annually per card (as of April 1st all players will need a new card). There is a coupon on page 21 of this catalog. Please make checks payable to Sue DeLaire.

Movie Lovers Group Beth Stookey & Maryann Zogby Donovan 1242 Ongoing Friday 2–4 p.m.

Each week a volunteer brings in a movie of his/her choice for all to watch and discuss. It's a casual group. If you bring the movie, you're not expected to provide background information, discussion questions, or anything else. There is also no obligation for participants to ever provide a movie. Come every week, or come only when it's a movie that interests you. Regular email is sent updating the schedule of movies to be shown. The movies are open to all MVILR members whether they've signed up or not. Having a little trouble hearing? We always use the English subtitle option when available. Note: This group does not count as one of your three allowed academic classes.

Seniors Can Sign Nancy Jayne TBA 4(1) Weeks Tuesday 9:20 a.m. This is a class created for older adults interested in learning basic sign language and exercising their minds and hands.

The classes teach basic signs that can be used every day, such as food signs, color signs, ASL alphabet, numbers, household items, etc. Hearing problems increase as we age. Just learning a few signs can be helpful in conveying a

world of Information. You can choose the signs that you need to help you communicate. You do not need to learn all the signs. Learning signs that are important to you can help you to begin a more active life. My hope is to help the person who is hard of hearing and the people who are close to them, cope with the problem. It’s actually not an option to communicate. It’s a necessity!

What Color Is Your Aura?/ How to Talk To Your Body Linda Bloser Cayan Library Mele Room 4(2) Weeks Tuesday 9:20 a.m. PLEASE NOTE: This class will cover two subjects with two classes for each topic. The first two weeks will be “WHAT COLOR IS YOUR AURA?”. The aura is the electromagnetic field around your body that is not visible with your physical eyes. It can, however, be seen and photographed with systems such as Kirilian

photography. Each aura has color vibration that represents personal characteristics and influences how you perceive life experiences. In this class students will participate in a self-test that will show which colors and characteristics are most dominant. During the last two weeks, “HOW TO TALK TO YOUR BODY” will be explored. Your body/mind

contains some innate wisdom that knows the best options for you, especially about your health. But how do you access that information? This class will present methods to bridge that “communication gap.” For example, you will learn how muscle testing and dowsing can help decide which foods, supplements, and activities will be most beneficial to you.

Kathleen Bishop TBA Single Session 5/28 Thursday 9:30 a.m. –2:30 p.m. Women's history, especially ancient women's history, is still taught in schools today or is it common knowledge for most women? Yet the goddess as a symbol of women is everywhere, if "we have the eyes to see and the ears to hear." In this session, Kathleen Bishop will focus on her travels over 2018, including: Santa Fe, New Mexico with the

famous author Kathleen McGowan, and her return to Iona and Mull islands of Scotland, where she had the opportunity to visit unknown sites for additional insight on the ancient women for whom these sites were sacred. Kathleen is

excited to discuss what she has learned, especially with her many friends from MVILR who have attended her classes over the years. Because of her extensive travels, Kathleen must present this as a one-day class at the end of the spring term. This single-session class is being held on Thursday, May 28th from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a lunch break.
