SUMMARY:Beth Hoffman: Bet the Farm
DESCRIPTION:Beth Hoffman was living the good life: she had a career as a journalist and professor\, and a comfortable home in San Francisco. Yet in her late 40s\, she and her husband decided to leave the big city and move to his family farm in Iowa—all for the dream of becoming a farmer\, to put into practice everything she had learned over decades of reporting on food and agriculture. There was just one problem: money.\nThe economics of agriculture are shocking: half of America’s two million farms made less than $300 in 2019. Between rising land costs\, ever-more expensive equipment\, and the growing uncertainty of the climate\, farming today is a risky business. For many\, simply staying afloat is a constant struggle. Even for those with a decent nest egg and access to land\, like Beth and John had\, making ends meet at times seems impossible. Bet the Farm is a first-hand account of the perils of farming today and a personal exploration of more just and sustainable ways of producing food.\nHoffman can present about her book\, visit with book clubs\, or speak to groups about relevant topics like farmland transition\, the state of Iowa agriculture and how farms can be more economically viable.

SUMMARY:Tom Milligan: Cartoons & Conservation
DESCRIPTION:In this 45-minute presentation\, Jay N. “Ding” Darling visits with the audience\, as an old friend\, in his 11th office at The Des Moines Register. Beginning with his early years in Sioux City where as a young boy where he became aware of the natural world around him while developing skills as an editorial cartoonist\, he recalls his remarkable life journey. His story continues to include two Pulitzer Prize-winning editorial cartoons for the Register and a remarkable career as a nationally known conservationist.

SUMMARY:Jeff Stein: Iowans You Should Know
DESCRIPTION:Iowans You Should Know: Stories from the Iowa Almanac (new in 2021)Did you know that the Eskimo Pie® was invented in Iowa? So was the electric razor\, the clip-on bow tie\, and the self-filling fountain pen. Iowa was also the childhood home of four Academy Award®-winning performers\, and three different Iowa-born musical acts had national #1 pop songs in the 1950s alone. In his presentation “Iowans You Should Know: Stories from the Iowa Almanac”\, broadcaster\, historian and author Jeff Stein tells the stories of the famous and not-so-famous. From elected officials who prevented presidential impeachment\, to record-setting athletes…from famous firsts to displays of strength and grace under pressure…these biographical stories are as inspirational as they are informative. Stories are culled from Stein’s daily “Iowa Almanac” radio segments\, which air on 30 stations across Iowa. The presentation is also specifically tailored for different geographic areas of the state\, to enhance the connection with audiences.

SUMMARY:Chad Timm: Working with the Enemy
DESCRIPTION:Working with the Enemy: German\, Italian and Japanese Prisoners of War in Iowa during the Second World WarAs part of a relatively quiet and under-publicized government program\, thousands of enemy soldiers invaded Iowa in 1943. With the hugely successful 1942 Allied campaign against Adolf Hitler’s vaunted Afrika Corps in North Africa\, the number of enemy prisoners of war (POW) needing interment grew dramatically. Great Britain\, no longer able to accommodate the increasing number of POWs\, looked to the United States for help. Helping with the detainment of enemy POWs made sense\, as American cargo vessels were returning home after delivering war materials with empty hulls. \nWhat began as an experiment in isolated locations in the south and southwest eventually led to more than 500 camps and 400\,000 enemy soldiers interned in the United States\, including two camps in the state of Iowa. Due to a severe shortage of agricultural laborers coupled with increased War Food Administration quotas for farm goods\, Iowa’s farmers needed help doing their part to assist the United States in winning the war. \nThis talk will focus on the creation of two POW camps in Iowa during the Second World War: one in the Northern Iowa town of Algona and one in the Southwestern Iowa town of Clarinda. Some of the topics discussed will be life in a prisoner of war camp\, community relations\, the POW labor program\, branch camps in more than 30 Iowa communities and the arrival of Japanese prisoners at Camp Clarinda in early 1945. Camp Clarinda was one of only two camps in the country to house Japanese soldiers. The story of POW interment in Iowa is a fascinating story of Iowans being confronted by the enemy: an enemy they not only needed to help them meet their wartime goals\, but also challenged them to find their humanity.

SUMMARY:CultureALL's Open Book: JJ Singh Kapur and Miyoko Hikiji
DESCRIPTION:The Turbanator\nJJ Singh Kapur \n \nJJ Kapur was twelve years old when the unexpected happened. His family was worshipping at their Sikh temple in West Des Moines\, Iowa\, when a group of news reporters interrupted their service. His congregation received news that a Sikh temple in Oak Creek\, Wisconsin\, had just become the site of a mass shooting by a white neo-Nazi gunman. The shooting happened in a small\, Midwestern town only three hundred miles away. JJ remembers thinking\, “It could have been us.” \nThis turning point became the beginning of JJ’s interfaith work in Iowa. In high school\, JJ started a youth organization called “The Turbanators\,” which was focused on “turban-ating” the negative stigma surrounding Sikhism in Iowa through awareness building and community service. In 2017\, JJ became the first turbaned Sikh to win the most prestigious high school speech and debate competition in the U.S. After graduating in 2022 from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts with Honors in Theater and Performance Studies\, JJ returned to his hometown of Des Moines as an AmeriCorps Lead for America Fellow\, where he is currently serving with CultureALL to help Iowans build bridges with their diverse neighbors by cultivating a human library across his home state called “Open Book.” \n‍ \n \nEnglish\, Punjabi \n \nMiyoko Hikiji \n \nMiyoko Hikiji served as an enlisted soldier for nine years and was deployed 403 days in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003 – 2004. Her job duties included truck driver\, unit correspondent\, and administrative sergeant. During the deployment\, she completed over 70 supply convoy\, security\, and raid missions throughout the northwest quadrant of Iraq. Simultaneously\, Miyoko wrote a company newsletter\, contributed to her support squadron’s newsletter\, and wrote articles for a hometown newspaper. Miyoko’s earned 16 military decorations including the Army Commendation Medal (2)\, Army Achievement Medal (2)\, Global War on Terrorism Expeditionary Medal\, and Iowa Humanitarian Service Medal. Her transportation company received the second highest unit decoration—the Valorous Unit Award—for extraordinary heroism. Upon her return from Iraq\, Miyoko wrote her company’s deployment history for the archives at the Gold Star Museum on Camp Dodge—the Iowa Army and Air National Guard State Headquarters. Her war memoir\, All I Could Be: My Story as  a Woman Warrior in Iraq\, was published in 2013 by History Publishing. Miyoko earned B.S. degrees in journalism and psychology from Iowa State University in 2004. She is a current student at The George Washington University\, studying political management. Miyoko works at the US Census Bureau and lives in Urbandale with her daughters Grace and Noelle. \n“In Iraq\, all the rules and labels were thrown out. Though I was a ‘female’ soldier\, whatever that meant on paper was meaningless in the sand. Iraq was a non-linear battlefield\, meaning the enemy attacked from all sides. There was no place to operate in complete safety. Nearly as terrifying as the threat of being killed on mission was the fear of being assaulted by the male soldiers from other units I was sent to support. That atmosphere brought out the best and worst in soldiers.”

As other states abandoned 6-on-6 in the 1970s\, Iowa remained committed to this half-court game until 1993\, when the final 6-player championship was held. This multi-media presentation recounts Iowa’s 6-on-6 history\, connects it to the development of girls’ and women’s sport in the United States\, and welcomes audience members to share their own stories and collections.

SUMMARY:Darcy Maulsby: Iowa's Lost History from the Titanic
DESCRIPTION:Iowa’s Lost History from the Titanic\nWhat do an orphan train rider\, a kidnapper\, a missionary\, a wealthy businessman\, a wedding guest\, a betrayed wife\, a farmer and an immigrant recruiter have in common? All had ties to Iowa\, and all were passengers aboard the ill-fated Titanic on the fateful night of April 15\, 1912\, when the famous ocean liner sank. There were a surprising number of first-\, second- and third-class passengers with Iowa connections\, although many of their haunting\, poignant and sometimes shocking tales have nearly faded away. During this spellbinding voyage\, delve into the human drama intertwined with the Titanic epic\, find out who survived and explore the aftershocks that continue to fascinate us more than a century after the Titanic sank.

SUMMARY:David Connon: Josiah Bushnell Grinnell and the Underground Railroad
DESCRIPTION:Josiah Bushnell Grinnell and the Iowa Underground Railroad“Preacher\,” “congressman\,” “negro-stealer”: Josiah Bushnell Grinnell was called all of those things during his life. He was called a negro-stealer because he participated in the Iowa Underground Railroad. J.B. Grinnell and other Grinnell residents helped at least 37 fugitive slaves who passed through their town before the Civil War. But some residents opposed this work. David Connon will tell a story of racism\, noble actions and conflict. He will highlight abolitionist John Brown’s visit to Grinnell\, and Grinnell’s first riot over the presence of fugitive slaves in the public school.
