Course studies Henry VIII

Case Western Reserve University will offer a fall course, "Henry VIII: Was He Misunderstood?" beginning Sept. 20 at 1:30 p.m. at Laurel Lake Retirement Community, 200 Laurel Lake Drive in Hudson.

The instructor for the eight week course is Case Western Reserve University Off-Campus Studies faculty member Betty Zak.

Participants will explore Henry VIII 500 years after his rise to the throne, in light of his time, his court, his enemies and his friends. They will learn about the political upheavals and "hot button" issues that motivated some of his most infamous decisions.

The course uses two texts: "Henry VIII: The King and His Court" by Alison Weir, and "Henry VIII: Court, Church and Conflict" by David Loades. These texts are available at local libraries or may be purchased at the Learned Owl Book Shop in Hudson. To register for the class or for more information, including costs, call Betty Presti at 330-655-1492.

LifeCenter Plus, a full-service health and fitness center on Darrow Road, is adding two new programs this fall for members and non-members.

The Kindermusik programs for infants and preschool children will be presented in partnership with Kindermusik at LifeCenter Plus starting Sept. 13.

The After School Fun Club lasts from 4 to 6 p.m., with parents responsible for picking their children up at LifeCenter Plus at its conclusion.
