You Had to Be There

Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, Victor Garber, Paul Shaffer, and other entertainment icons got their start in a 1972 Toronto production of the musical Godspell. Featuring interviews with the surviving cast members, Lin-Manuel Miranda, Mike Myers, and more, the film recounts a pivotal moment in comedy history, in hilarious, moving, and inspiring detail.

Hunter Education Classroom Course

Hunter education is a mandatory program that is designed to introduce students to several life-long skills that are important to many different types of outdoor recreational opportunities. The course teaches students basic survival and first aid skills, water safety, wildlife identification, the basics of wildlife management, hunting laws and firearm/archery safety. Hunter education also stresses the importance of individual responsibility and outdoor ethics.

Iowa law requires that anyone born after January 1, 1972 must be certified in hunter education before they are eligible to purchase an Iowa hunting license.

Please Note: When you are registering a child for this course please be sure to login as the child you are wishing to register or create an account for that child and do not login or register yourself as a parent unless you are wanting to take the course yourself for certification. Students who have previously purchased Iowa DNR licenses, such as youth deer tags, will already have an Iowa DNR account and should register for this course using their personal information.

Please bring a sack lunch and something to drink. Also, dress accordingly to the weather as a portion of this class is outside. Register here.

Peer-led Mental Health Support Group

GROUP RULES:

Check in:

-Name and pronouns

-What emotions are you feeling right now?

Check out:

-What emotions are you feeling after everyone has shared?

-What needs were met by the meeting? What needs were NOT met by the meeting?

-How can this group meet your needs more effectively?

Purpose: This is a safe space to discuss our mental health, caring for our mental health, and challenges in caring for our mental health.

Meeting Agreements:

• We take turns sharing one at a time, passing the Speaking Stick clockwise. Only the person with the Speaking Stick may speak.

• Sharing in good faith is required (good-faith sharing is honest, values everyone’s needs, and respects differences and disagreements). We prohibit bigotry and/or discrimination based upon demographics including: race, ethnicity, birthplace, religion, spirituality, anatomy, disability, gender, sexual orientation, class, legal status, politics, etc.

• We use “I statements” to share our point of view while recognizing different views. Examples:

“I believe this happened,”

“I remember her saying this,”

“It seems to me that he was doing this,” etc.

• After sharing, you may ask others for feedback. If you do not want feedback, no one may provide feedback. After feedback is given, the Speaking Stick is passed to the next person waiting to share.

• The facilitator may need to ask someone to wrap up their share or feedback so everyone waiting to share will have time to share.

• We respect people's choices surrounding medication and diagnosis. We value self-determination and mutual support.

• While everyone has the right to refuse feedback, this group is also a safe space to call each other in — asking questions in good faith and sharing information to help meet everyone’s needs. We are all always learning.

• We respect the confidentiality of those here. Who you see here, what you hear here, let it stay here.

• This group is peer-led. It is NOT an alternative to professional mental health care. It is NOT designed to provide emergency services.

Note: These agreements borrow from the Wildfire/Mad Tea House Open Share meeting agreements. These agreements were adapted for this group by Dee Bosold.

The Poet's Forge

This free monthly workshop is meant for those who are serious about expanding their skills for composing poetry. Participants should bring work they have written and are prepared to discuss with the group. Anyone interested in developing the poetic quality of their writing is welcome!
