The human use of opium and its derivatives date back over 5000 years. And, as laudanum, it came to America on the Mayflower in the medical bag of pilgrim physician Thomas Fuller. This seminar will trace both the global and the American historical roots of opium product use leading to the current crisis, as well as the impact of commercialization and physician prescribing practice on the recent explosion in the use of modern synthetic opioids. Suggestions will be made for combating the epidemic.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"greatwarinwa\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;color:#000080\"><strong>The Great War in Washington State<\/strong><\/span><br>Tuesday, June 18, 2019<\/p>\n<p>Lorraine McConaghy will examine the home-front during this forgotten war which ended just a little over a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>Lorraine is a public historian, who spent most of her career in history working in historical museums, including the Lemelson Center for Innovation at the Smithsonian, Washington State History Museum, and Seattle\u2019s Museum of History &amp; Industry.\u00a0 She completed her Ph.D. in 1991, and her dissertation compared post-World War II residential suburbs in Cincinnati, Hackensack, NJ, and Bellevue, WA.\u00a0 However, in the last two decades, her major research interests have been the antebellum, Civil War, and Reconstruction periods in Pacific Northwest history, and the University of Washington Press published <em>Warship Under Sail<\/em> concerning the U.S. Navy presence in Elliott Bay during the Treaty Wars and <em>Free Boy<\/em> concerning the escape on Puget Sound of a slave from Olympia to Victoria.\u00a0 She is currently working on a manuscript for UW Press, a richly-illustrated, popular history scheduled for publication in 2020; she hopes to next research the biography of Washington Territory\u2019s antebellum governor, Richard Gholson.<\/p>\n<p>Lorraine McConaghy has taught history, historical research techniques, and oral history practice at the University of Washington, Pacific Lutheran University, and North Seattle College.\u00a0 She recently completed four years as a trustee for the American Association for State and Local History, and has served on the boards of the Women\u2019s Heritage Center and the Northwest Oral History Association.\u00a0 Since 2013, she has run her own historical consulting business, providing research, editing, exhibit curation, and oral history services for a wide range of clients, including the Washington State Historical Society, Seattle\u2019s Roberta Byrd Barr Center, and the Bill and Melinda Gates collection.\u00a0 In addition, she lectures widely on topics in Pacific Northwest history for Road Scholar, the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, and Humanities Washington.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"protestontrial\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;color:#000080\"><strong>Protest on Trial: The Seattle 7 Conspiracy<\/strong><\/span><br>Wednesday, June 19, 2019<\/p>\n<p>Kit Bakke will discuss the events in her book Protest on Trial.<br>\nFrom a recent review: \u201cKit Bakke has written a captivating and clearheaded text titled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/0874223563\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><em>Protest on Trial: The Seattle\u00a07 Conspiracy<\/em><\/span><\/a>.

A Stanford study shows that over 80% of retirees want to stay in their homes and avoid institutional care. 72% of\u00a0doctors\u00a0and their parents succeed in that outcome but less than 30% of the rest of us do despite diligent planning with financial, legal, and other professionals. In short, traditional planning is failing retirees in what they care about most. How do we get outcomes closer to matching our wishes?<\/p>\n<p>Elder Law attorney Scott Schill educates attendees on a new, evidence-based, multi-disciplinary, human approach to retirement planning that focuses not just on who gets what when we pass but on our most deeply held retirement goals:\n<ul>\n<li>Helping people shape planning to <strong>avoid institutional care<\/strong>\n<li>Protecting assets from uncovered medical &amp; long-term care costs to <strong>avoid financial distress<\/strong>\n<li>Mitigating the burden on loved ones if challenges arise to <strong>avoid trampling families under the weight of care-giving duties<\/strong>\n<li>Fostering family communication and cohesion to <strong>avoid family conflict<\/strong>\n<li>Continuing to grow\u2014a meaningful later adulthood reflecting our values &amp; dignity to <strong>avoid powerlessness<\/strong>\n<\/ul><\/p>\n<p>From the Speaker Scott Schill:<\/p>\n<p>As a Northwest native with three sets of parents living nearby, and a frequent volunteer with the Senior Center of West Seattle and Jewish Family Service, the message that aging is a family affair resonates deeply with me. Prior to joining LifePointLaw, my practice focused on complex commercial litigation at Yarmuth Wilsdon PLLC and Perkins Coie LLP in Seattle. In my LifePointLaw\/AgingOptions practice, I strive to put my skills and experience in the service of making a meaningful, human difference in the lives of older adults and their families.<\/p>\n<p>I am a graduate of the George Washington University Law School (with honors) and the University of California at Berkeley. Prior to law school, I taught English in Tokyo, Japan for two years, and am also the proud producer of the award-winning feature film Frank vs God starring Henry Ian Cusick (Lost, The100, The Passage). I live in the West Seattle Junction neighborhood with my wife Jennifer, our two children, Theo and Nate, and mischievous dog Trixie.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"mihasaranipart2\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;color:#000080\"><strong>The Artwork of Miha Sarani\u00a0Part II<\/strong><\/span><br>Monday, June 24, 2019<\/p>\n<p>In response to requests from many of his students, Miha facilitated a presentation regarding his own adventures as an artist, at the TSO event on June 6.\u00a0 Due to popular request, he will continue the saga of his journey during this TSO event.\u00a0 Miha has been teaching art and art history for several years in the TELOS Program.\u00a0 This is your opportunity to continue learning about his artistic journey from Slovenia to Seattle.<\/p>\n<p><a name=\"blackpeoplein19th\"><\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;color:#000080\"><strong>Black People in the 19th Century:<\/strong><\/span><br><span style=\"font-size: 16px;color:#000080\"><strong>Fugitive Slave Laws, Dred v.
