Join Russ Gifford as we look at the development of the uniquely American Private Detective novel. Along the way, we will use these books to view America at the moment in time when everything seems to be changing fast. Sam Spade. Philip Marlowe. Nero Wolfe. All of the Private Eyes we have discussed so far had instant name recognition, even if you had not read their books. But Lew Archer? Not so much. And yet, the Lew Archer series of books obviously reached beyond the mystery genre to mainstream interest. After a solid and skilled 1950s, with the 1960s, author Ross Macdonald would reach the New York Times' Bestseller lists precisely because the stories meshed well with the era. And he did it again in the 1970s before his death. As we read these books, we learn why Lew Archer and his creator, Ross Macdonald are the perfect choice for our look at the actual society of the times as mirrored by their books. Macdonald's books embrace a style that combines the feeling of his times but is told by an observer who tries desperately to remain impartial. Yet Archer not only sees the grimy touches of the murder room's dirty paint job but also adds the vivid colors of the sundown. The result is a fresh look at the grim reality of an era, seen through tired eyes. Archer is a detective that wants to believe there is still good to be found - but his experiences say otherwise. In that, we come to realize he is all-too-accurately capturing the feelings of many as the calendar changed from the 1960s to the 1970s. Join Russ Gifford as we examine the history of Lew Archer and the events that brought his books to the bestseller list.

REMEMBERING THE DAKOTA UPRISING, 1862 Perhaps the most tragic story in a volume of sorrow is the history of the Native American uprising in Minnesota in 1862. It will begin with the horrific death of innocents, but the choices made after that are all bad. The result would decide the future of the Native Americans in all parts of the country. In a summer when rampant corruption combined with outright theft, a deadly drought would leave the relocated and badly treated Dakota tribe starving. They had given up their lands in exchange for a narrow remaining strip running through their former holdings. Adding to the irritation, it did not help that the river basin that fed the fertile lands leading to the confluence of the major river at Mankato was not in the tribe's new holdings. That land now housed the latest arrivals to the region, with small towns and homesteads popping up across the former native lands. Crops everywhere were failing that hot, dry summer. And the hunting was worse. But this fact led to further anger. When tribesmen tried to hunt further afield, natives who had no voice in the agreement realized for the first time the true ramifications of the deal with the U.S. government. They were no longer allowed to leave their small area. They were no longer free to hunt in their former lands. Cut that sentence to the true meaning - they were no longer free. As Chief Shakopee would declare, Over these lands my father was once undisputed chief, and over these hills I once rode free on my horse-but now.... Tempers rose. The promise of food as payment in exchange for their land was the point made repeatedly by the elders who had signed the agreement. That promise was the only saving grace found, as parched earth produced only brown grass and little else that dry summer. But the food, when it did arrive, was far less than promised. And none of the money arrived. When confronted by the chiefs about the meager food allotment and being cheated on the cash as well, the Indian agent's response was contemptuous and dismissive.Into this deadly mix of volatile emotions, an act of unwarranted violence would seal the fate of all concerned. The future war would begin with a senseless, horrific murder of five innocents near Acton. The result would propel both sides into a clash of arms as the leaders ceded direction to the younger hotheads of their tribes. Join Russ Gifford as he recounts the events leading to this moment and the many sad events of this conflict. This history is still alive for many in our region on both sides,as violence casts a long shadow. In this program, we will hear eyewitness accounts from both sides, see the remaining monuments, and see not only how the tragedy begins but also the long tragic consequences for all involved that follow.

Digging for Hard facts on a Shadowy Agency: The History of the CIA I needed. the President needed a central organization that would bring all the various intelligence reports we were getting in those days - and there must have been a dozen of them - so the President would get one report on what was going on in various parts of the world. That made sense and that's why I went ahead and set up what they call the Central intelligence Agency. Now, as far as I can make out, those fellows in the CIA don't just report on wars and the like - they go out and make their own! -- Harry Truman, shortly after the Bay of Pigs. Part 1: How - and Why - the CIA Developed Truman's initial intention was not an action agency, but simply someone to provide the President with a concise, considered evaluation of what was happening in the world. Why and how did that change? Well, we can't know the answer to that unless we get some hard intel, so in this session, we will dig for the facts on the creation of the CIA and how it developed. The key to this journey will be numerous details we did not know as they happened due to the secretive nature of an agency where nothing is public, including its budget. We will look at the first stage of the Agency as it became known to insiders. Truman's successors had much different expectations for the spy agency. Yes, we will hear tales of secret agents, shady developments, and operations where the Secretary would certainly have disavowed any knowledge of their existence. But their excesses - and the ease in which they were taken in by a clearly political operation. But within a decade, the cowboys were back in control at the agency. The laws that prevented a public alignment with another political operation held, however. Until 9/11, when the operation changed dramatically. Part 2: Intelligence Agencies in the Post 9/11 World The CIA missed alerting everyone to the biggest event of their lifetime - the 2001 attack on the World Trade Center. The result was a massive reorganization of the Intelligence agency. What were the new roles for the CIA? Who do they report to now? What successes have they posted in the almost quarter century since. Join Russ Gifford for a look at the known history of an agency purposely shrouded in secrecy. We will trace the early years of the OSS, the highs of the 1950s to 1960s, and the massive changes following 9/11. As the story is literally America's Past, Present, and Future, this is a topic that discusses facts in the face of fantasy and brings you the reality of the world of the 21st century.

Don't Know Much About - A new series of classes, combining the idea of Lifelong Learning and a road trip for on-the-spot learning! Following in the footsteps of the old song - we'll call it, Don't Know Much About . This program will look at different aspects of our region, and perhaps the things we should know, but don't. Classes can deal with Civics or History, Business or Local Policy, Police or Government, the Legal System, or what the city can do about business development, local improvement efforts, or the structure of local government. Second - Don't Know Much About - Iowa's Amana Colonies. In 19th century America, many communal societies formed, but only a few remain. One of those is in Iowa, the Amana Colonies, a group of seven interdependent communities known for the appliance industry they founded - and their industrious population. Their heritage is on display, and they bask in the attention given to their homestyle meals, brewhouse beer, and durable and delightful furniture. While the emphasis is on small town rural life, their name and fame attract more than a million people a year to visit their delightful homes. But the question remains: Who created the Amana Colonies, and what were their goals? What were their beliefs and their practices? When did things change, and why? How did they become famous for the manufacture of appliances? What is their structure today? These are the questions Russ Gifford will explore as we look at the history and the heritage of the Amana Colonies!

Aronia berries are native to North America and were used by Native Americans for centuries to treat colds and flu and even to preserve meats. Yet today, very few Americans have even heard of them, and most of today's commercial production comes out of Eastern Europe. If you are trying to eat healthier foods, consider that aronia berries have more antioxidants than blueberries, elderberries, strawberries, or even açai berries. These berries are tops in anthocyanins, quercetins, catechins, phenolic acids, and even resveratrol, all molecules with proven health benefits. They're also high in vitamins, minerals and fiber, yet low in sugars. Join Dr. DuVal, a retired chemist and local grower of aronia berries, as he discusses the berries, their chemistries, and potential health benefits. Food products containing aronia berries will be available for sampling.

This talk will address some misconceptions about yoga. We will debunk some misconceptions that stop people from trying yoga: it's only for 20 year olds in expensive yoga pants, yoga is a just a fad leftover from the 1970s, I can't do yoga because I can't even touch my toes, I'm a Christian so I can't do yoga because yoga is an eastern religion, I'm too busy to do yoga, I'm too nervous/anxious so I can't sit long enough to do a yoga practice, yoga is only for woo-woo people who collect crystals and many others. We'll briefly talk about the ancient roots of yoga believed to be between 2,500 and 5,000 years old. We'll talk about how yoga is a form of exercise and stretching for every body type. We'll talk about how you can start doing yoga today! Dr Rhonda Briggs is a 500RYT, Reiki Master and aspiring Tarot card reader.

Remember how the DJs would spend New Year's Eve counting down the previous year's hits, counting them down to midnight? Join Russ Gifford as he recreates that vibe for you with a countdown of the first five years of rock and roll, as seen in 1959. Spend two hours reliving the early years of Rock n' Roll - just as we did then - listening to the radio late into the night. We'll remember the people, the stories, and most importantly, the sounds of the fabulous Fifties. With all the hits and perhaps a few misses, we'll trace the rise of rock in a blazing trail for radio waves bouncing off the ionosphere. The Russians might think Sputnik was high, but Daddy-o was nowhere compared to the blast-off powered by Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, and Buddy Holly. They were already in orbit by the time the Russkies got there. And when Aaron Elvis Presley joined Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Jerry Lee Lewis in the Sun Studios, they were out of this world. Return with me to when all the greats were dropping new songs on our radio every week, and we'd follow them racing up the chart on the radio - and that new TV show, American Bandstand. Relive the years when Chuck's searing guitar licks were totally new, Jerry Lee's pounding beat was mesmerizing and strange, and Elvis' stage moves drove girls wild. We will hear from Little Richard, Don & Phil Everly, Ricky Nelson, and as many others as we can cram into two hours. Plus, we'll survey the hot gal groups and doo-wop dreamers. Join Russ Gifford as he counts down the hits of the 1950s.

When you see horses standing in a pasture or running across a field, does your heart beat a little faster? Do you long to touch them and understand them? Whether you have grown up with horses or admired them from afar, this course will help you understand them and become a part of their world. Learning to Communicate with Horses is a non-riding horse class for adults 50 and over who have always wanted to be able to approach these magnificent creatures without fear and be accepted by them. This half-day class will teach you the proper way to interact with a horse. You will be rewarded with a silky muzzle, a warm breath, and a deep feeling of serenity as you join with the spirit of a horse. You will learn how these graceful animals communicate with each other and with us, how to bond with them through activities, and how they can help us heal from loss and trauma. At the end of the workshop, you will have gained the confidence and knowledge that will allow you to understand and enjoy the special relationship between a person and a horse. The next step is our Silver Saddles class (see right), which will help you to see the world from a totally different perspective, from the back of a horse. Classes are held at the STARS Riding Center just 1.5 miles north of Mike's Saloon on Hamilton Boulevard. Please dress comfortably (close-toed shoes please) in layers and bring a sack lunch. Light refreshments and beverages will be provided. Participants must be able to stand and walk on uneven surfaces.

This wonderful program, created and taught by the skilled staff of S.T.A.R.S (Special Troopers Adaptive Riding School) in Sioux City, is designed for Lifelong Learning members over 50 who want to combine fitness activities with a search for new experiences.
