Courses
PLANTS WITH IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE
Every gardener's dream is plants that jump out of the ground, grow like
kudzu, ignore all pests, and produce food like crazy. These are the plants we
need to learn about, because for minimum effort, we will get maximum
rewards. Most of these are garden plants, some are wild plants, and some
are nut trees. Some are probably growing on your property right now, so all
you have to do is harvest them. We'll go over the health benefits, delicious
ways to eat them, and any other practical uses. A supply fee of $5 will be
collected from everyone at the first class.

HEALTH CARE: WE CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT, BUT CAN WE LIVE WITH IT?
In four sessions we will discuss ways we can improve health care for
ourselves, personally, and for our nation. We will discuss how we can take
greater responsibility for our own health by becoming partners with our
health care providers. Why can’t our providers offer us Integrative
Medicine as a cost-effective tool for healing? Must the drugs and surgery
offered by Conventional Medicine always be the answer? What is fueling
the excessive costs of health care? What can we do to contain the costs?
As senior citizens we are the greatest users of health care. Is there anything we can do to change it for the better—for
future generations?

popes, but evil in religion in general and we will also consider the
antidote to evil.

NEUROLOGY FOR THE AGING
In “The Neurology of Aging” we will explore how neurological disease
affects our age group over 65. For the first meeting we will look at
how we, as well as other folks our age, think about aging in general,
and we’ll compare our answers to a Pew questionnaire of over 2000
respondents. Do we see ourselves differently here in the mountains?
Then we will learn how to look at ourselves from a neurological point
of view. I’m going to teach you how to do a neurological
examination so you will know the important ways to monitor yourselves as well as loved ones of any age. For this part
you will need to bring to class a watch with a second hand, a VERY lightweight hammer, a tape measure, some cotton
balls and a small flashlight or penlight. We will also learn to use the Berg Balance Scale since falls are so dangerous to
us. For Part II we will examine four common types of neurological disease in our age group: cerebrovascular disease (for
example, stroke), dementias (Alzheimer’s and others), movement disorders and causes of weakness (such as Parkinson’s
disease and spinal stenosis), and changes in levels of consciousness (like, confusion from too much medication). In Part
III we will look at Living Wills and Durable Powers of Attorney, and why they are important.

WHO IN THE WORLD IS LEONARD BERNSTEIN?
On October 14, 1990, America lost, all at once, an illustrious maestro, an eloquent and
natural teacher, an accomplished pianist, and one of our finest
composers. On that day, Leonard Bernstein died. This course is titled
in the present tense, though, because his influence is still alive today
in those he introduced to music. And through today’s technology,
people are learning from Lenny all over again. Come to this class to
be introduced to, or become reacquainted with, this celebrated - and
complicated - American icon.

OVERVIEW OF WORLD CULTURES IN ART
Juli Sibley
Thursday, 4/9 - 5/28
(8 sessions)
3:15 pm - 5:15 pm
ICL Classroom
Cost: $20
Trade and commerce have promoted the exchange of knowledge and
cultural ideologies since the most early times. These discoveries still
touch us in every way our civilization is expressed - through architecture,
music, literature, and 2 and 3 dimensional art forms.
In this course, every week we will visit a different culture beginning with
Ancient India. We will look at a few art forms that culture produced. You will see that
sometimes new innovations and technology inspired cultural images and sometimes the
cultural beliefs provided the inspiration for art. Each culture we will visit has made large contributions and has been an
inspiration to cultures all over the world. The Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations brought forth many ideas about
naturalism and divine proportion that continue to influence art and architecture today. We will go as far as the
High Renaissance, ( 16th century) on our journey of discovery after we visit Jewish and Islamic cultures. ** Students
are encouraged to bring a notebook and ink pens. Many references from YouTube and other sources will be viewed in
class which are suitable for lengthier at home viewing.
Juli Sibley is a designer, teacher and writer from Young Harris, Ga. As a young student at YHC many of her inspirations
for art came from the natural beauty of this valley. Her latest book, "Earth Friendly Fabric Design" is available worldwide
on Amazon. She holds a MA in Fine Art from Western Carolina University. Most recently, she has been a member of the
art faculty at Augusta State University where she taught the art history section of World Humanities.

ICL means good company, new ideas, new ways of looking at old ideas, adventures into unknown territory, and the chance
to recapture the excitement of college days. May we never stop learning! ~Jetta J Cooper BA,MSLIS,MA and whatever
else I can glean before I'm a senile 90.
Great opportunity to learn new things and meet new people. So far I have taken two classes and loved them. The cost is so
reasonable and the classes are close to home so I am happy. ~Suzanne Paston
ICL provides an opportunity for me to continue learning, and keeps my mind open to new ideas. I love the variety of
subjects offered and being able to share ideas with others my age. ~Susan Plants
After 25 years of teaching high school English, ICL has meant the joy of teaching adults eager to read and participate and
the pleasure of becoming a student again myself. ~Eleanor Calvert Crowder
To me ICL is a wholesome, educational and rewarding way to spend some time. It's also a good way to keep us old cats off
the street and out of trouble. ~John Beebe

BUILDING TRIVIA
The building ICL is currently housed in was constructed as the Young
Harris College library in the mid 1920s as a project of the class of
1924. The library was the top floor, and the lower level housed the
president and the bursar for a time. The library expanded to the
whole building when Pruitt Barrett was built. It was remodeled and
redesigned and named for Henry Duckworth, long before the other
building was built and named for Lon Duckworth in 1966-67.

As we embark on another exciting year in the Enchanted Valley, we reflect on the
accomplishments of a successful fall semester and look forward to a spring packed with
events for the community to enjoy.
Students, faculty, staff and community members continue to take full advantage of the

New World” in April. Also in April, the Mainstage Season will close with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa’s “Good Boys and True.”
An innovative digital arts exhibition featuring the work of students from YHC and LaSalle University in Philadelphia,
Penn., will be on display at the Campus Gate Art Gallery through March 26, and the annual Senior Thesis Exhibition that
features a culmination of artwork created by senior art majors will open with a reception on April 9.

ICL Registrar as an integral part of the course registration form.
AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE
1. I am aware that participating in the activities of the Institute for Continuing Learning (ICL) can be dangerous and involve many risks of injury.
I understand the dangers and risks may include serious injury, impairment to parts of my body, general health or well being, or death.
Because of the dangers of participating in the activities of ICL, I recognize the importance of following the class leader’s directions regarding
techniques and training, and to obey such instructions.
2. In consideration of the ICL permitting me to participate and to engage in these activities, I hereby voluntarily assume and understand all risks
associated with participation and agree to exonerate and save harmless the ICL, Young Harris College, their agents, servants and employees,
and the owner(s) and/or operator(s) of other venues occasionally used by ICL from any and all liability claims, causes of action, or demands of
any kind and nature whatsoever which may arise by or in connection with my participation in these activities.
3. ICL, including, but not necessarily limited to, its members, officers, executive board, course leaders, classes, seminars, publications, and
advertising, does not advocate nor support any political, governmental, religious, or charitable agenda or policy and does not permit such
advocacy or support in any ICL sponsored activity.
4. ICL reserves the right to deny class admittance and/or cancel membership to any person whose conduct is deemed disruptive.
5. ICL is a program of continued learning for mature adults. Since the curriculum is specifically designed for adults, children are not accepted in
the program. Guests of a class member, who are 18 years and older, are permitted to attend a single session, provided such is approved by
the class coordinator and course leader.
6. I certify that I have read, understand, and voluntarily sign this agreement. (If more than one individual is registering for classes, each
