Optimal health and weight are the goals of
plant-based eating. We will use the most current
scientific and medical information in the field of
disease prevention and reversal to critique the
Standard American Diet (SAD). Through
discussion, film, cooking demos and tastings, we
will explore why and how to move toward
whole foods plant-based eating with NO added
oil. This course is based on the research of T.
Colin Campbell, Ph.D. (Cornell), The China
Study; and Caldwell Esselstyn, MD (Cleveland
Clinic), Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease.

LS114 HAND TOOL BASICS
Tuesdays, 3:15 p.m.–4:45 p.m.
Dates: 10 Sessions, September 10–November 12
Instructor: Michael Burkhart
Learn the basics and most effective use of hand
tools and how tools work. We will cover such
topics as the right way to use a hammer and
things you probably didn’t know about
screwdrivers. A combination of lecture and
hands-on instruction will provide you with a
new appreciation for tools used every day in the
garden and in the kitchen as well as in the
garage. Learn a few unusual uses for common
tools and try your hand at different ways to
develop torque (what is torque, anyway).
Sometimes important and sometimes merely
interesting tool nomenclature will be discussed.
We will also talk about tool selection and
purchase. This is a class for beginners and
novices and not for accomplished masons,
woodworkers or electricians. Who knows,
maybe after this course you will actually be able
to fix stuff. Class is limited to 10 students.
Michael Burkhart graduated from the United
States Naval Academy with a major in physics
and served as a helicopter pilot in the U.S.
Marine Corps. Following the service, he
attended medical school at West Virginia
University and thereafter was a family
practitioner and an emergency room physician.
He continued flying with the West Virginia Army
National Guard for 13 years. As a boy he
learned about tools from his grandfather and has
continued his interest ever since. Mostly selftaught,
he is an avid woodworker.
