Author Event: Dennis Maulsby
<p>About the Book<br>Nous servons, que nous soyons servis.<br><br> Twenty-eight-year-old Army Major Hugh de Gracie returns to his half a millennium old family home in the Adirondacks for the first time in a decade. He is close to death, due to the cumulative effect of wounds and an untreatable virus acquired as a Taliban prisoner in Afghanistan. Kept ignorant by father and family during his childhood and rebellious teenage years, he does not realize the true nature of the family residence. The de Gracies both serve and are served by their domicile. The multistory de Gracie chateau is a living plant, a mythical tree of life, whose human companions have evolved over tens of thousands of years to function as symbiotes to what they call the mother-tree.<br><br>Complicating matters, the fighting in Afghanistan has earned him an implacable human enemy, one whose culture insists on vendetta. Fahad, a Taliban commander, backed by the vast resources of a wealthy Saudi family, seeks revenge for Hugh’s killing of his relatives. In less than a year, the war will come to upper New York State.<br><br>About the Author<br>Dennis Maulsby is a retired bank president living in Ames, Iowa with his wife Ruth, a retired legal secretary and his dog Charlie, a retired CIA operative. A son and grandson, Matt and Kaden, live in the Pacific Northwest. His poetry and short stories have appeared in Lyrical Iowa, The North American Review, Haiku Journal, Spillway, The Hawai’i Pacific Review, The Briarcliff Review, and numerous other journals.</p> 2019-12-26 19:00:00 -0600

An Evening with Dr. Rosier and Dr. Lang of the Rodale Institute’s Midwest Organic Center
<p dir="ltr">Approximately 26 million acres of land in Iowa is dedicated to conventional agriculture compared to 81,000 acres (0.3%) acres that are certified as USDA organic. Conventional agriculture typically relies heavily on inputs of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, potentially reducing soil biodiversity and negatively affecting ecosystem services including carbon fixation, nutrient cycling and water quality. However, regenerative organic farming is thought to contribute to a more diverse and stable soil food web, increasing soil carbon and nutrient storage, while mitigating many environmental issues and combating climate change. The mission of the Rodale Institute Midwest Organic Center (RI MOC) at Etzel Sugar Grove Farm near Marion is twofold: i) conduct fundamental and applied research of farm management decisions which improve soil organic matter accumulation, nutrient retention, and biodiversity, and ii) develop an outreach program that provides farmers with the information and technical support to improve soil health and farm profitability. Drs. Carl Rosier and Kristine Lang will present a brief history of Rodale Institute, highlight the formation of the RI MOC, discuss planned research projects for 2020, and provide an overview of ongoing outreach. This presentation will highlight ways that both members and volunteers at Indian Creek Nature Center can be involved in research and outreach projects at the RI MOC.</p> 2020-03-30 19:30:00 -05006/17/206:00 p.m.Indian Creek Nature CenterCedar Rapids -

Flag Retirement / Honor Walk
<p>Join us to honor our military and educate your family about the respectful retirement of our American flag. The ceremony will take place at a new location, Kirkwood Community College at the Linn Hall Parking lot. </p><p>Take the main entrance to Kirkwood and the ceremony will be immediately to your right in the large parking lot. A reading of all the names of fallen soldiers from Iowa during the war in Afghanistan and Iraq will be a special part of this ceremony. </p><p>When the United States flag becomes worn, torn, faded or badly soiled, it is time to replace it with a new flag, and the old flag should be "retired" with all the dignity and respect befitting as a symbol of our nation. Like a fallen soldier, a flag that is being retired must be handled with reverence and dignity. </p><p>The traditional method of retirement is to incinerate the flag, but this does not mean we simply drop the flag into the fire. Instead, the flag, like that fallen soldier, will be properly encased and prepared for cremation and burial. </p><p>Following the Flag Retirement Ceremony, we invite all to walk the track for this year's FIRST Honor Walk. Add the name(s) of a Veteran to the luminaries and read about some of the stories of Veteran's that have been nominated this year throughout the walk.</p> 2020-02-24 20:00:00 -0600
