    Interviews with Community Leaders Available on OLLI’s YouTube Channel

    Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI)Sedona AZ (May 7, 2020) – Sedona residents obeying stay-at-home policies may wonder what’s going on around the community–at places like City Hall, the hospital, the school district, the foodbank, philanthropic organizations, local businesses, Yavapai College, caregivers to homebound elders, the newspaper, and the police department.

    That curiosity now can be satisfied via a series of Zoom conversations recorded by Paul Friedman and Linda Shook of OLLI (the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute).  They asked a dozen local leaders how their organizations are helping Sedona residents cope with the consequences of this pandemic.

    On their YouTube channel–OLLI at Sedona•Verde Valley–interviews can be accessed with individuals, such as Mayor Sandy Moriarty, City Manager Justin Clifton, VVMC Medical Director Ron Haase, Head of Nursing Lori Green, Chamber CEO Jennifer Wesselhoff, Police Chief Charles Husted, Red Rock News Genl. Mgr. Kyle Larson, School Supt. Dennis Deardon, Foodbank Director Cathleen Healy-Baiza, VV Caregivers Director Kent Ellsworth, and Yavapai College Deans Tina Redd and Linda Shook.

    Each is filmed busily at work (often at their home offices) adapting the services of their organization to the exigencies of this extraordinary period.  Viewers of these programs get an “inside” or “backstage” view of what these leaders are deciding and doing, how they handle their everyday responsibilities, how their services have been altered, what they are learning, and what they foresee in the future. 

    Links to these programs also are available on OLLI’s web site: https://www.yc.edu/v6/olli-sedona-verde and Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/olli.sedona.verdevalley.  At these sites, too, Information is provided regarding  the New OLLI (Osher Lifelong Learning Institute) Online programs which offer academic, not-for-credit programs for adults 50 years old or older all online. Registration is now open for OLLI members for free online Spring Term courses until May 15 and OLLI staff is currently putting together a Summer Term online schedule, June 29 – July 30. For information about OLLI at Sedona•Verde Valley, contact Linda Shook, Associate Dean Sedona Center and OLLI Director Sedona•Verde Valley, at the OLLI office where voicemails are being checked and answered remotely, 928-649-4275, or send an email to ollisv@yc.edu.

    What Would I Change?
    By Amaya Gayle Gregory

    What would I change if I could? You and I both know I can’t, but it’s a fun exercise anyway. I would have been less of a know-it-all on my spiritual journey. It seems to be a side-effect of the path. Spiritual folks develop an all-knowing buffer to protect against their inevitable surrender to the unknown, but understanding that now didn’t make it gentler on me or those I loved, let alone those that I deemed not capable of getting it 😉 Yeah … I’d have dropped the spiritual snob act. I’d have recognized that spiritual radicals are only different on the outside from radical right Christians, and that the surface doesn’t really matter as much as I thought. We are all doing our couldn’t be otherwise things, playing our perfect roles. I’d have learned to bow down humbly before my fellow man, regardless of whether I agreed with him or not. We’re all in this together and not one of us will get out alive. Read more→
