FLL03 ABRAHAM’S JOURNEY OF FAITH - ILLUSTRATED

Sign up required

Wednesdays, May 6, 13, 20, 27, 2020 (4 part series)

10:00 to 11:30 AM

Grand Cypress Room/Woodlands Commons, 2nd floor

Presenter: Debby Topliff (Turban)

Most of us are familiar with the salient points in Abraham’s life: the promise of a descendent

late in life, Ishmael born to Hagar, the covenant of circumcision, the destruction of Sodom, and

the extraordinary test of faith when God asks Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. But it is the rest of

the story—the lesser known experiences in between these events—that helps connect us and

our faith journey to the life of Abraham and Sarah.

For four consecutive weeks this May we will take a deeper look into the Life of Abraham and

his roller coaster journey of faith. Using slides from her painting of Genesis 12-22, Debby

Topliff will give us a bird’s eye view of the ups and downs of Abraham and Sarah’s lives as

they await the promise of a baby through whom will come blessings for the whole world.

Weekly handouts will provide you with the text, maps, and questions you can ponder during

the week. Come enjoy this visual exploration of how God fulfills his promises to Abraham and

to us. It’s not necessary to attend all four sessions.

Week 1: The Promise—Genesis 12-14

Week 2: Promise Becomes Covenant—Genesis 15-17

Week 3: Precarious Promise—Genesis 18-19

Friday, May 8, 2020

Fee: $10

Presenter: Dr. Thomas Cimarusti, Associate Professor of Musicology,

Bower School of Music, FGCU

In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps,

this session will explore how music was used during the Holocaust, not only by the prisoners,

but also by Hitler as a form of propaganda and power. Special attention will be given to

Terezin, the concentration camp which witnessed the performance and production of not only

opera, but also chamber works, and songs. The presentation will focus primarily on the opera

Brundibar, a children's opera that was performed in Terezin over 55 times and will feature

tape-recorded interviews of Holocaust survivors that spoke of their experience as either a

FLL05 AN ENGINEER’S THOUGHTS ON SCIENCE AND FAITH

Sign up required

Tuesday, May 12, 2020

10:00 to 11:30 AM


Presenter: Larry Brock (Eagles Preserve)

Larry will share what he learned in his quest to better define his worldview - a statement of

what he believes. In particular he wanted to resolve the supposed conflict between faith and

science. He desired a worldview that applied both to the science he used as an engineer and the

faith he professed as a Christian. He will discuss a number of different views on creation held

by Christians and share the reasons for the one he has chosen. His goal is not to convince

others that his view is the correct one but that it is an acceptable alternative. This discussion

should be of interest to those of the Christian faith and also to those of other faiths who are

curious to know what Christians believe.

Captains For Clean Water (CFCW) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to

protecting Florida’s most valuable resource: Water. Decades of poor water management

practices have devastated estuaries and water quality across the state, sustained by lack of

public awareness and political will.

Through efforts focused on awareness, education, and advocacy, CFCW fights to ensure

policymakers implement science-based solutions to water quality issues. They have rallied the

outdoor industry to the frontline, uniting them with conservation groups, communities, and key

government agencies to effectively raise awareness and advance Everglades restoration

progress at state and federal levels.

Captain Chris Wittman is a career outdoorsman, spending over 20 years as a fishing and

hunting guide, nationally renowned tournament angler, on-camera host and TV show producer.

As a fourth-gen Florida native, Capt. Chris witnessed firsthand the destruction caused by

Florida’s water mismanagement leading him to co-found CFCW. Capt. Chris’ professional

experience has positioned CFCW to engage leading brands and personalities across the

industry, collectively mobilizing the outdoor community to take action against water quality

issues like never before. As Program Director, Capt. Chris identifies needs and opportunities to

expand the organization’s reach and impact through initiatives, programs, and partnerships,

ultimately turning years of work on the water into his mission to save Florida’s water.

In 1894 an eccentric physician and alchemist, Dr. Cyrus Teed, claimed he had a vision that led

numerous cities in the United States, eventually settling in Estero, Florida where he and over

200 followers created a Utopian community that espoused the practice of celibacy, fostered an

understanding of the hollow earth theory, and cultivated a musical environment that arguably

was one of the most sophisticated in Florida if not the United States. These new settlers to the

state called themselves in the Koreshan Unity. This presentation will introduce the musical

culture of the Koreshans, focusing on Dr. Cimarusti's most current research in reconstruction

of the hymns of this fascinating cult. Participants will also be invited to sing along to some of

Jacobean Periods of English history. Along the way, our discussion will also highlight the

explosive growth of the country's theatrical world and its competitive environment, as well as

Shakespeare's innovative use of language and dramatic techniques.

20

Grand Cypress Room/Woodlands Commons/ 2nd Floor

Part Two: Lecture/Discussion


10:00 to 11:30 AM

Presenter: Ray Boyce (Rosemont)

Considered by many Shakespeare scholars and literary critics to be his greatest dramatic work,

this powerful tragedy will be included in this semester's offerings in two segments, as follows:

Part One - This session will present an opportunity for residents to view, in its entirety, the

highly-acclaimed video production of the play from the Warner Brothers Archive Collection.

This production, directed by Oliver Parker, stars Laurence Fishburne as Othello, Irene Jacob as

Desdemona, and Kenneth Branagh as Iago. Featuring English sub-titles, the color video runs

123 minutes to completion and is set in Renaissance Venice.

Part Two - In "Othello" Shakespeare presents a play that features love, jealousy, passion,

honor, and misplaced trust to delineate to his audiences the tragic story of The Moor who

"loved not wisely but too well." Our discussion will attempt to share our audience's views of

the ways in which the play's themes unfold and the impacts they have upon our three principal

characters. The class will also be asked to share their views on the contributions of subordinate

roles as well. We will also attempt to determine why the play's plot and subject matter have

remained popular over the past four centuries and how its themes connect with our modern

society and its problems.

FLL26 1000 BIRDS AND COUNTING:

THE SHELL POINT CONNECTION

Sign up required


10:15 to 11:45 AM


Presenter: Dotty Morrison (Cellana)

One thousand birds? How can anyone know that they've seen 1000 different kinds of birds?

How many birds are there in the world, anyway? How long does it take to see that many birds?

Why would you want to? In this presentation, Dotty will answer these questions and more!

Dotty's adventures began with learning to identify 24 species on her first visit to Shell Point in

1993, when her parents moved to Coquina. Frequent visits allowed her to meet many

knowledgeable residents who taught her about Florida birds. Since moving to Shell Point in

2008, Dotty's experiences and birding numbers have increased with the help of residents,

contacts with local bird clubs, trips with Shell Point friends to other countries, and even a

cruise--which she won at Shell Point! No need to bring your binoculars or passports. Dotty’s

program will transport you to other countries, introduce you to the world of birding, and show

how digital photography has changed how many people experience birds.

29

This is a repeat of a presentation that Dotty gave last fall in the Academy.

FLL27 DING DARLING FILM SERIES – “THE SWAMP”

Sign up required


1:00 to 3:00 PM


Presenter: Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge

The Swamp tells the dramatic story of humanity’s attempts to conquer the Florida Everglades,

one of nature’s most mysterious and unique ecosystems. Home to a profusion of plants and

animals found nowhere else on the continent, the Everglades was an immense watershed

covering the southern half of the Florida peninsula. In the 19th century, however, most

Americans believed swamps were filled with diseases and noxious reptiles and saw them as

obstacles to the nation’s progress. The idea of draining the Everglades became the goal of

many entrepreneurs, politicians and salesmen who saw great potential in turning the massive

wetland into a profitable enterprise. Altering the landscape of the Everglades unleashed a

torrent of unintended consequences, from catastrophic floods to brutal droughts. Told through

the lives of a handful of colorful and resolute characters, from hucksters to politicians to

unlikely activists, The Swamp explores the repeated efforts to transform what was seen as a

vast and useless wasteland into an agricultural and urban paradise, ultimately leading to a

passionate campaign to preserve America’s greatest wetland. Film length is 120 minutes.

FLL31 EARLY HISTORY OF FORT MYERS – Session One

Sign up required

Tuesday, July 7, 2020

10:00 to 11:30 AM


Fee: $10

Presenter: Tom Hall

Learn how a hurricane prevented Punta Rassa from being “the downtown” of a town known as

Fort Dulany. Fort Dulany was the central depot for the federal fort system in Southwest Florida

during the Second Seminole War until a landfalling hurricane washed over Punta Rassa in

1841, destroying the fort. In this segment, you’ll discover where and why the new fort was

built, the role Punta Rassa played during the Civil War, and how and why it became the focal

point for cattle export operations in the aftermath of the Civil War. Along the way, you’ll be

treated to stories about Seminole Chief Billy Bowlegs and how smashing pumpkins led to war;

blockade runners and role cattle played in bringing the Civil War to a close; cattle drovers and

their saddlebags filled with gold doubloons; and Southwest Florida’s famous cattlemen, Jacob

and Samuel Summerlin, F.A., Marion and the other Hendrys, Thomas Langford and William

H. Towles.

Tom Hall is a local historian and author, with three books to his credit: Epic Fires of Fort

Myers: How a Series of Early Fires Influenced the Town’s Development, Volumes I & II, and

Female Pioneers of Fort Myers: Women Who Influenced the Town’s Development, which he

co-authored with North Fort Myers author Robin Tuthill.

Since 2010, Tom has also served as one of the leading visual and performing art advocates and

journalists in Southwest Florida. In 2011, he founded Art Southwest Florida, a one-stop

directory that profiles the actors, artists, filmmakers and cultural events that are in the news in

Southwest Florida each week.

A member of the Florida Association of Public Art Professionals, Tom also serves as the

Public Art Consultant to the City of Fort Myers, which maintains a collection of more than 70

outdoor sculptures and other artworks. In this capacity, Tom has been charged with

researching, writing text, suppling photographs and procuring audio recordings for a free

phone app known as Otocast that share with the public the stories these public artworks tell

about Fort Myers’ unique early history and cultural heritage.

FLL34 TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES

THAT MADE OUR WORLD

Sign up required


4:30 to6:00 PM


Fee: $10


Human inventions and technologies have constantly shaped civilizations and transformed life

on the Earth. We will start our journey at the Stone Age when humans first began to shape

their world as we evolved as a species. Great leaps forward then were the management of fire,

the development of stone tools and, later, the wheel.

The pace quickened in Classical Times and by the Middle Ages inventions become truly

revolutionary. Gunpowder and the printing press were not only technological developments,

they also permanently changed society. Then the Industrial Revolution gave us machines, steel,

power, and railways. Then came the modern era where every aspect of our life was touched

from air flight to communication to nuclear weapons to the treatment of diseases.

Most major inventions do not have one inventor. Throughout the years, many innovative

inventors have had their hand in both the elevation and evolution of an invention. As

expectations and capabilities evolve, each new generation possesses its own set of innovative

thinkers. We end by reviewing the accelerating rate of technological change which has

transformed our lives in the last 70 years, the fridge, computers, the internet, TV, the cell

phone, ATMs and robots, just to mention a few.

FLL35 EARLY HISTORY OF FORT MYERS – Session Two

Sign up required


10:00 to 11:30 AM


Fee: $10

Presenter: Tom Hall

Although Punta Rassa did not become the center town or the seat of Lee County, it played a

pivotal role in converting Fort Myers from a rough-and-tumble cow town in the years

following the end of the Civil War into a tourist, citrus and cultural destination by the turn of

the 20th century. And the central figure in this metamorphosis was George Shultz, the jovial

proprietor of the Tarpon House. In this segment, you’ll be treated to stories about the role

Shultz played in the cattle export business; the man who “invented” tarpon fishing and how

George Shultz used his discovery to make Punta Rassa the tarpon capital of the world between

1885 and 1913; how George Shultz lured the likes of Thomas Edison, Tootie and Ambrose

McGregor and Hugh O’Neill to “murderer’s row” and then sent them upriver to visit the town

that time forgot; the romance between Shultz’s daughter, Florida, and an ambitious grocer and

hack operator by the name of Harvie Heitman; and how George’s world-famous fishing

emporium burned to the ground, not once, but twice, thereby ending Punta Rassa’s reign as the

epicenter of tarpon fishing.

FLL36 HOW WE PICK A PRESIDENT -

PART 1: THE PARTY CONVENTION

Sign up required


2:00 to 3:30 PM

Grand Cypress Room/ Woodlands Commons, 2nd floor

Presenter: Dr. Melissa Butler, Ph.D. Political Science, (Turban)

For 188 years, American political parties have officially named their presidential candidates at

party conventions. But, over the decades the role of conventions in actually choosing those

candidates has changed substantially. Often, these gatherings brought together partisans from

around the country who argued, and bargained, and horse-traded, and compromised and finally

came to a conclusion about who would carry their banner in the November election. Today, far

from choosing the candidate, conventions simply ratify a choice made elsewhere, weeks or

months beforehand. Instead, these gatherings have become more like infomercials to promote

pre-selected candidates. In this lecture, we will look back at the evolution of the convention,

including how and why it happened. We will also preview the 2020 Democratic and

Republican conventions.

How We Pick a President – Part 2: The Electoral College will be presented in the fall semester.

FLL38 ANCIENT OLYMPIC GAMES: WHY DID THEY END?

MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES: 1896 UNTIL NOW

Sign up required


4:30 to 6:00 PM


Fee: $10


The Olympiad repeated only every four years, is one of the greatest sporting events on the

planet. We take for granted this sporting spectacle, but do we ever stop to think how it all

started? The first Olympian Games took place in 776 BC in the town of Olympia in ancient

Greece and were celebrated every four years for twelve hundred years. We will trace the

origins of the original games and we will answer the following questions:

Who created the games and why

What were the Pan-Hellenic games

Why was Olympia chosen as the site

Why every four years

Was it a team or individual race

What did they wear when competing

What was the first event and who won

What is the origin of our word stadium

Who could compete

Why were wars fought over the games

Were women allowed to compete

Was there an age limit

What events took place at the games

Why and when did they stop

Sadly, the fabulous Olympian stadium in Greece is mostly ruined, however we have extensive

historical and archaeological evidence to create a picture of how the games took place, and we

can even trace the stories of some of the Olympian champions.

FLL39 EARLY HISTORY OF FORT MYERS – Session Three

Sign up required


10:00 to 11:30 AM


Fee: $10

Presenter: Tom Hall

Many of the building you see in the downtown Fort Myers River District were erected in the

four year period beginning in 1911 as a consequence of a real-life game of monopoly played

by four men: Walter Langford, William H. Towles, Harvie Heitman and Peter Tonnelier. Find

out who won, how fire influenced the outcome of the game, and why the Fort Myers Press

dubbed the winner with the title of “The Builder.” This segment will also chronicle a second

competition – the epic battle waged by two theatres to become Fort Myers’ best movie house.

Along the way, you’ll hear stories about the innovative marketing strategies employed by Jno.

T. Hendry and K.A. Bryant to one-up each other, including how “The Clutching Hand” had the

town’s young men and Sheriff roaming the streets with loaded shotguns; how one of the

theatres raffled off a live baby to counter “Julius Caesar;” how another fire influenced the

outcome of the contest; and how The Builder once again emerged as victor in the quest for the

town’s entertainment dimes and quarters.

FLL43 JAPAN: HISTORY AND CULTURE

Sign up required


4:30 to 6:00 PM


Fee: $10


Although civilization in Japan started six thousand years ago, the first written reference to

Japan was in the Chinese Book of Han c100AD. Between the fourth and ninth century, Japan's

many kingdoms and tribes gradually unified under one Emperor. In 794, a new imperial capital

was established at Kyoto. This period was the golden age of classical Japanese culture.

Japanese religious life became a mix of native Shinto practices and Buddhism.

Over the following centuries the power of the Emperor and the imperial court gradually

declined and passed to the military clans and their samurai warriors. After seizing power in

1185 Yoritomo first took the title of shōgun. In 1274 and 1281, two Mongol invasions were

defeated.

From 1467 regional warlords grew in power at the expense of the shogun and Japan descended

into civil wars to be reunified in 1598 under the Tokugawa shogunate, at Edo (Tokyo). In the

16th century the Portuguese began trading followed by the Spanish, Dutch and English but it

was not until the US Perry Expedition in 1853 that Japan ended its isolation; the shogunate fell

and power switched to the Emperor. This transformed the feudal country into a state that

closely followed the West. Although democracy developed from 1912, Japan's powerful

military had autonomy in the 1920s and 1930s. Japan invaded Manchuria in 1931 and occupied

China in 1937. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 led to war with the United

States until surrender in 1945 following the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The Allies occupied Japan until 1952, during which a new constitution was enacted which

transformed Japan into a constitutional monarchy. After 1955, Japan enjoyed very high

economic growth, and became a world economic powerhouse. Since the 1990s, economic

stagnation has been a major issue. An earthquake and tsunami in 2011 caused massive

economic dislocations and a serious nuclear power disaster. We conclude by examining the

serious challenges that now face this island nation.
