| Location: | Game Room |
| Description: | Learning to use computers can be a confusing task for some, so we\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'d like to help out by clearing things up a bit with our Advanced Computers class. First, the word advanced is relative to a lot of our students. Intermediate might be a better word. Some students who have taken the beginning class a few times have outgrown the class and take the next class thinking that this is the next step. It is much more than that. Kim Scarcella truly teaches a hands on learning experience. Students work on individual projects and are helped out when needed. The class does not work on a project as a whole. Students learn to make and use spreadsheets using Access and Excel to keep track of their meds, Powerpoint slideshow presentations for family and friends, publishing applications to make cards or fliers, or even a simple word processor to make address labels. Computers can do so much, so easily. You just have to get over the fear of new technology. But you have to be willing to work on your own. Don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t worry, Kim is always there to lend a helping hand and show you the way. The class meets on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. at the SBC Computer lab in the game room.

| Description: | For many of us, we can’t image a world without the internet. It has become so pervasive in people’s lives and business, that many people are involved with it without even knowing it. You can speak to people overseas via video, for free, find the cheapest price on that item you’ve always wanted and get it shipped to your home from some exotic place, all without leaving your livingroom. It is literally world wide and can be a scary place if you don’t know what your doing, but once you get involved, you’ll wonder how you ever got along without it. Our computer instructor, Kim Scarcella, teaches the Internet class every Monday from 9 - 11 a.m., showing students the wonders and possibilities that they can discover from their very own home. Students begin with the basics, such as what you need to get on the internet, how to “surf” (maneuver from site to site), e-mail (including attachments), bookmark pages, and internet safety. Then you move on to what else the web can do for you. Join newsgroups and chatgroups, listening to radio stations from around the world, get virus protection, Google (no that’s not a dirty word), keep in contact with family and friends on Facebook, buy and sell on e-bay and other auction houses, take a virtual tour of museums and historic places, do research on your family, make reservations, plus much more. You can even do such mundane things as pay a bill. So come and learn how to do just about anything and everything from the comfort of your own home.

Sign Language |

| Length: | 20 Weeks |

| Instructor: | Sharon Bazarko |
| Location: | Dining Room |
| Description: | People believe no one person invented the ASL (American sign language) They say it evolved all over the world in a natural sort of fashion. In 1620 Juan Pablo de Bonet published a book that contained the Manual Alphabet. It was the first book on ASL. Not much has changed in nearly 400 years. Sharon Bazarko, our Sign Language instructor has been teaching this subject for almost forty-one years. Teaching this subject is something that is very personal to her because both of her parents are deaf. In fact, she learned to sign before she could talk. A credentialed teacher in sign language from the University of California at Riverside, she had taught at Chaffey High School, Rolling Start, and various adult education centers. She has found that the majority of her students are those who are going deaf, or know someone who is. Those who come to her class must bring a willingness to learn in addition to buying the sign language book. What you will take away from it is not only the chance to communicate with others in a way you never thought possible, but you will build a sense of camaraderie while learning at a fun, nice, steady pace. The class is designed for the absolute beginner and starts with the ABC’s and 123\\\\\\\'s. You will also talk about deafness, hearing aids, and the deaf communities, even meeting with some. If you think that deaf people can understand you without sign language just by reading your lips, you’re in for a surprise. A good lip reader can only understand 33% of what your are saying, because most sounds are made using the throat and teeth. Not the lips. So imagine trying to get through a conversation, or give a presentation and having people not understand two-thirds of what you are saying! Classes are on Tuesdays with a beginners class at 4:30 to 5:30 pm, and an advanced class from 3:30 - 4:30 pm. The next beginning class begins on Tues. Jan. 11, and runs for 20 weeks. So join the class and learn to “speak” a whole new language.

| Instructor: | Avon Hall |
| Location: | Game Room |
| Description: | This month we’d like to shine the line on one of our newest instructors, Avon Hall, teaching one of our oldest classes, Watercolor. Avon was a student of the former instructor, Art Escamilla for three years. However, when Art suffered a stroke earlier this year, Director, Penny Lilburn came into the class and asked if they wanted to continue the class. When asked if they needed a new teacher, they said that they already had one...Avon. Avon had been helping students when they had problems during classes while Art was still teaching. Penny asked Avon if he would like to teach and he said “Yes.” Avon has no formal instruction as an art teacher. While in the Air Force, and stationed in France 30 years ago, he took some art classes in oil painting and drawing. He did not take up water color until three years ago, when he heard that we had a class and he was curious about it. Has won several prizes for his art, and has even sold some. As far as teaching goes, he did teach at the Air Force N.C.O. Academy at Norton, and had undergrad training in Vocational Training. He just combined the two skills and voila! While drawing certainly helps in watercolor, it is totally different from oil painting. With oil or acrylic paints, the paint stays where they are put, but with watercolor, the paper and absorption changes the outline and appearance as it dries. Additionally, you have to be careful as colors can run into each other as they are absorbed, changing the shape and color of objects. Then, if you mess up with paint, you can paint over or scrape off the paint, but in watercolor, you might be able to partially correct a mistake by re-wetting and blotting, making errors costly. If you think you might want to try your hand on one of the earliest art forms, that is practiced in kindergartens across the country, yet hard to master, come give it a try. Classes are FREE and are taught on Tuesdays, from 9:00 - 11:00 a.m.

| Instructor: | Mike Sylva |
| Location: | Parlor |
| Description: | Mention having to take a test and most people will start to sweat. It’s something we do every day, yet taking a test on something you probably haven’t studied for in years on a book that has thousands of laws in it can still send a chill down anyone’s spine. To help alleviate that stress we have a DMV Test Review in which questions from the DMV web site, and recent actual tests are given to the students to answer. Each week two tests are reviewed and each question and answer is gone over to help explain why the answer is the correct one, with a written final exam given on the final day. Some answers, the students just have to memorize, but most can be answered through reading the ENTIRE question and ALL the answers carefully, then the process of elimination can take over. Leading the group is our very own Mike Sylva, a retired Deputy Sheriff. Having written his share of tickets, as well as having taken classes on traffic accident investigations and working as a traffic officer, he will steer you in the right direction. Classes are held quarterly so don’t wait until the last minute to study. Cramming for a test doesn’t do any good. The Winter Class has already passed, but classes are held quarterly so don’t fret. Remember, the more studying you do, the better prepared you’ll be.

| Instructor: | Molly Wright |
| Location: | Game Room |
| Description: | This month we’d like to shine the light on one of our lesser known classes: Shuffleboard. The class is taught by Molly Wright, who began teaching the class with her husband Odie. A few years ago Odie passed away, and Molly took over the group all by herself. The game involved sliding or shuffling eight metal weights (red and blue) over a waxed table. The different colored pucks are to distinguish teams or opponents. The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by sliding your weights farther into the scoring area than their weight. This is done by either hitting their weights out of the way or off the table, or passing them. You can also defend your points by blocking your opponent from knocking off your weights. Skill is needed as is strategy. Finesse, not strength. The first player to score 15 points is the winner. When more than three players play, 21 points win. Newcomers are always welcomed and Molly is more than happy to teach. The class remains a small yet loyal group of shuffleboard fans, who enjoy the class very much. In fact, when the other classes go on break, her class has decided that they want their class to keep on going. The class is on Fridays beginning at 1:00 p.m. The object of the game is to outscore your opponent by sliding your weights farther into the scoring area than their weight. This is done by either hitting their weights out of the way or off the table, or passing them. You can also defend your points by blocking your opponent from knocking off your weights. Skill is needed as is strategy. Finesse, not strength. The first player to score 15 points is the winner. When more than three players play, 21 points win. Newcomers are always welcomed and Molly is more than happy to teach. Registration for this and all of our other classes will take place on August 15th at 9:00 a.m. Sign ups for all classes are on a first come first serve basis, and some classes are limited in size, so it’s important to sign up early.

| Instructor: | Steve Micklas |
| Location: | Parlor |
| Description: | To celebrate the release of the final Harry Potter movie on dvd, this month we’d like to introduce you to the mysterious and mystical world of our Magic Class. Stephen Micklas has been teaching the class for over 10 years. He first became interested in magic when former instructor, Paul Shartle, got him to take the Magic class at the center. Stephen was hooked. Soon Stephen was asked to help out teaching. Then after Paul passed away, Stephen became our very own Dumbledore and took over teaching the craft. Now he’s a member of the International Brotherhood of Magicians. In the class students learn basic magic, including misdirection, card magic, and close up magic (coin manipulation). Stephen says that there are two categories of magic. Parlor magic for a small group of people, like in a living room, and Stage Magic for large groups. Each requires difference tricks. In the class students learn inexpensive tricks that grandparents can amaze their family and friends. Students are only required to bring a deck of cards and maybe some rope or string. Most will be done with things found around the house. Stephen will bring in most of the other props needed. For those interested in magic you just need to remember a few things. Magic is a bit of misdirection and a lot of acting. If you are going to be a member of the class you will be taught a lot of secrets, but don’t let it out. You also need to practice to do it well. So if you’d like to amaze your family and friends, sign up. Classes meet in the parlor on Mondays from 9-10:30 a.m. for 8 weeks. The cost is only $8 for members and $10 for non-members. For you who already know a card trick or two, Stephen always has a new trick up his sleeve to teach you.

| Location: | Dinning Room |
| Description: | Michelangelo defined sculpture as the art of \"taking away\" not that of \"adding on\" like they do in modeling in clay or painting. He labored to free the figure born in his mind from the confines of the marble block.While wood carving is not thought of in the same light as sculpting from marble, an artist still looks at a piece of wood and sees what form s trapped inside waiting to be let out.Wood carving is one of the oldest art forms in the world. The class is taught by our very own member, Don Delaney, who is a self-taught carver.He first got interested in wood carving when he was around 11.He had books with a pocket on the side for a knife. He and his friends started would hang around the street corner carving.Guns(for shooting rubber bands), animals, and knives. His father taught him how to sharpen knives, because his dad wanted to make sure he got his tools back nice and sharp. He learned to make his own knives while working at Kaiser Steel for use on the job. Good thing since you need different blades for different types of carving. The right wood is essential, as there are different degrees of hardness, or some show more grain than others. The class meets every Tuesdays from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. You can join him in the dining room, as he shows you how to turn a hunk of wood into art. This class will run 6 weeks doing a variety of projects from “simple” ducks to more complicated puzzles. Each student works on a project at their own pace. All you need to bring is your favorite pocket knife, some fine grade sandpaper, a soft wood, and a rubber mat to keep your work steady. Oh, and bring your imagination to see what’s inside.

| Location: | Sunroom |
| Description: | Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart. -William Wordsworth Michel Thaler, a French writer, published a 233-page novel without using any verbs. The novel is Le Train de Nulle Part (The Nowhere Train). Thaler said that verbs are like weeds among flowers; the weeds should be removed. Now you don’t need to go to that extreme, but there are many ways to be creative when writing. Whether it be the next great American novel, or a short story for friends and loved ones, or a novel with no vowels! If you can think it, instructor Mary Reed has a class that will help you put pen to paper (or keyboard to hard drive). Mary Reed had been taking the Creative Writing class herself when the teacher retired. That teacher recommended Mary, who was then approached about taking over the class. She only meant to take over for one semester. Fourteen years later she is still enjoying teaching. She feels that her students have real experiences and have important things to say. Your creativity is not structured and put into a certain form. Not everybody can write a haiku or sonnet, but Mary will help you to tell your story in a way that best fits your style. Classes are on Tuesdays from 10:15 to 11:45 a.m.

| Description: | This month we’d like to shine the light on one of our newer classes. Photography. In last month’s newsletter you read about Ricardo Tomboc and his ballroom dance class. He is a man of many talents, so this month’s we’ll fill you in on his affection for photography. The class began on August 3 and will run until Sept. 21. The Second session will begin Oct. 5 and run until Nov. 30. The sessions are eight weeks long, every Wednesday night from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. The class fee is $25 per session. The class is more for commercial photographers, or those wishing to learn to become commercial photographers. He will bring in models, and focus on composition. However, the class will also cover basic photographic principles and digital operations. If you don’t have a camera or are unsure which to buy, there will be some film SLR cameras available as loaners, until you know what you are looking for. Student’s will be responsible for the purchase and processing of any film. Ricardo began his interest in photography while in junior high school. He even made his own darkroom at his home. By college he started taking more formalized classes. He initially wanted to go into FBI and took police science courses. Then he met a fire captain who got him to apply for a job. He initially applied to become a firefighter but they had an opening for an Identification Technician so he applied for that instead. He got the job and worked there until he went to work for the San Bernardino Police Department as a Forensics Specialist in 1983 and been there ever since. On the side he also taught a photography class with the San Bernardino Adult Ed., as well as being a wedding photographer. So if you’d like to learn how to capture a moment in time forever, come by and register or call us at (909)862-8104 for more information.
