DAY TRIPS






DAYS OF RAGE, YEARS OF REFORM: 1960s AMERICAJoin our weekly discussions as we seek to understand today’s polarized American society by providing context through an examination of the 1960s, when many of the issues and movements are reminiscent of today’s. The protest marches, demonstrations, and riots of the 1960s, set in motion the social reforms of the Great Society programs, expanded civil rights and opportunities for minorities, women, gays, war on poverty, expanded medical coverage through Medicare and Medicaid, and environmental laws, among other reforms. All this was played out against a backdrop of the Cold War, Vietnam War, anti-war protests and increasing decline in the faith in the government’s ability to meet the needs and expectations of the American people. It also fueled fears and a backlash that led to the successful “law and order” presidential campaign of Richard Nixon. Join what promises to be a free-wheeling discussion of the issues of the 1960s and their relevance for today.

KANSAS CEMETERIES AND GHOST TOWNSLong after they are gone, the people who first sought out this land hold power over us. They are the reminders of our legacy. Wander into almost any Kansas cemetery and the tombstones tell stories of how generations before us lived and died. There are stories that can intrigue, stories of shootings, epidemics and sometimes even the anguish some families found in moments of childbirth and motherhood. Stones and monuments tell stories of affluence, poverty and reflect trends of a changing society. Ghost towns hold the remains of promises unfilled—a railroad that didn’t come through; a county seat built elsewhere; a dam that was built. We’ll look at some of the more interesting ghost towns and cemeteries in Kansas.

THE HISTORY OF WICHITA STREETCARSJohn Wesley Hartzell believed every city in Kansas needed a street railway - they just didn’t know it yet. In 1883, Mister Hartzell convinced the Wichita city council to let him build a streetcar system. These cars were pulled by mules, so the routes were short but the people of Wichita were thrilled. In 1887, a man named James Oakley Davidson built the first electric streetcar system. The electric streetcars went to the entire city. At the beginning of the new century, after some shady dealings by the “Eastern Capitalists,” a new streetcar company was established with even better streetcars, but in 1914 a new technology presented the streetcar company with a totally new challenge: gasoline powered vehicles. Automobiles and buses eventually replaced the streetcars and the last streetcar ran in 1935. Using photos and newspaper accounts, this class will look at the fascinating history of Wichita’s streetcars. Instructor: Tony Myers, AuthorLocation Weeks Starts Day Time Fee HMC 2 9/10 Th 7-9p $49

YOGA FOR RUNNERS & ATHLETESAre you a runner or athlete that is constantly complaining of tight hamstrings or back pain? How about knee pain or just general inflexibility? Athletes are sometimes so focused on practicing their sport, that they think there is no time for yoga. However, instead of taking time away from your sport, yoga will actually help you perform better and is therefore a crucial piece to your exercise puzzle! This yoga class will help you get stronger and more balanced by strengthening underused muscles and smaller support muscles. The breathing techniques and mental toughness developed within a yoga practice will carry off the mat and help in running and other sports. In addition to a power yoga class, we will practice several smaller sequences of poses, such as the perfect warm up before you run and a relaxing cool down after a workout.
