Instructor Highlights John Deuel - Consumer Education
How did you become an expert and why are you so passionate about what you teach? I’ve been managing recycling programs for over 30 years. The pressing need to sustain our natural environment for our society’s future challenged me and the people that participated in recycling encouraged me. Now, the challenge is even greater and the stakes even higher as we figure out how to take recycling to another level, material by material; product by product. My classes are designed to help each of us explore ways to influence change in the systems that have created so much waste. This term, John Deuel will teach Beyond Recyling. See page 18
Londa Anklam- Arts & Crafts How did you become so passionate about what you teach? I learned the basic stitches as a ten-year-old from my Grandma after seeing some embroidered dresser scarves. I fell in love with the craft immediately and have been stitching for many decades. In the 70’s, flower power and embroidered bell bottoms were the rage and I enhanced many clothes with my designs. It also was one of the ways I helped pay my bills when a student at art school. This term, Londa Anklam will teach Creative Crewel Embroidery. See page 16
Karen Messer - Writing Why did you choose to become a Community Education Instructor? Community education lets me reach out to folks who want to learn. The written word has been a life-long passion of mine. It is a phenomenal way for humans to communicate and connect. My creative writing classes are interactive. I concentrate on what people want to express in their work, and I encourage students to participate. The classes are a respectful time to share and critique writings with each other. This term, Karen Messer will teach Fascinating Memoirs. Click here to register or call 541-917-4840 See page 39
