SUMMARY:Larry Stone: Whitetail: Treasure\, Trophy or Trouble?
DESCRIPTION:Whitetail: Treasure\, Trophy or Trouble?Although Iowa’s original deer herd vanished in the face of white settlement\, the animals rebounded during the 20th century to the point of overpopulation. Adapted from a 2003 book written for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources\, “Whitetail” traces that history. It’s a story with broad appeal to farmers\, hunters\, motorists and wildlife watchers—anyone whose life has been affected by Iowa deer.

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:Rosa Snyder: Glimpses of Iowa's Capitol
DESCRIPTION:Glimpses of Iowa’s Capitol: Its History\, Art\, Architecture and Restoration \nJoin former state restoration painter\, Rosa Snyder\, as she divulges untold stories and reveals hidden treasures of Iowa’s most recognized landmark. When the building was constructed back in the 1870s-1880s almost every one of the 120 rooms was decorated with intricate designs on the ceilings and walls. Over time many of the motifs were covered with paint. Starting in the 1980s\, it was decided to uncover and recreate these elaborate designs. During this presentation\, several aspects of restoration will be explained in detail: the discovery process\, necessary tools\, varieties of paints\, types of gold leaf and different step-by-step application techniques. Additionally\, a number of before and after photos of several rooms will be revealed and photos of one-of-a-kind artworks created by well-known artists and placed throughout the building shared. The audience will learn about little known historical facts and view photographs of areas not normally seen by visitors.

SUMMARY:Tom Milligan: Cartoons and 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. From the introduction of The Duck Stamp to the creation of the National Wildlife Federation\, Darling’s influence was felt not only through his cartoons but his actions as well. Considered by many to be one of the most important members of the modern conservation movement in the first half of the 20th century\, the impact of his work is still felt today.

SUMMARY:Barbara Lounsberry: Yup\, Nope and Why Midwesterners Don't Say Much
DESCRIPTION:Yup…Nope…and Why Midwesterners Don’t Say MuchThe writer Ernest Hemingway made a virtue of Midwestern reserve. Reticence became part of the Hemingway “code\,” and the strong\, silent type came to be associated with honor and heroism. This half-in-jest\, whole-in-earnest presentation (with slides) explores the historical roots of Midwestern reserve\, along with contemporary illustrations. As one Midwesterner deadpanned on return from the East: “We think we are being polite when we wait for people to finish their sentences; they think we are slow-witted.”
