As 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, Great Britain could no longer accommodate the increasing number of POWs and looked to the United States to help. What 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 Iowa. This talk will focus on the creation of two POW camps in Iowa during the second world war: one in Algona, and one in Clarinda. Presented by Chad Timm, Associate Professor of Education at Simpson College. This program is funded by Humanities Iowa and the National Endowment for the Humanities. This program is free and open to the public and is supported by the Council Bluffs Public Library Foundation.

In early February, millions prepare to gather around their TVs and streaming devices to watch the big game. These plans include plenty of beverages and snacks, if not full meals to savor. However, it’s important to remember that many in our own community don’t have that luxury. With the impact of inflation on groceries, food staples like milk, bread, cereal, and canned goods are increasingly hard for families to afford. That has created a greater demand at area food pantries, which strive to meet that need with growing difficulty. In response, the Council Bluffs Rotary Noon and Centennial Clubs will hold their 10th Annual “Souper” Bowl Food Drive on Saturday, February 10, from 10 am to 4 pm at the Council Bluffs Hy-Vee Broadway and Hy-Vee Madison Avenue stores. Rotary volunteers will be stationed near the entrances of the two stores to accept donations in the form of cash or grocery purchases. Proceeds will benefit local food pantries.

Country Music Hall of Famer, five-time Grammy-winner, and AMA Lifetime Achievement honoree Marty Stuart and His Fabulous Superlatives visit the Arts Center for the first time. Born and raised in Philadelphia, MS, Stuart got his start in bluegrass legend Lester Flatt’s band at the tender age of thirteen, and by twenty-one, he was working in the studio and on the road with Johnny Cash. Though Stuart built his early reputation backing up country royalty, it wasn’t long before Nashville recognized him as a star in his own right, and over the course of forty-plus years as a solo artist, he would go on to release more than twenty major label albums, scoring platinum sales, hit singles, and just about every honor the industry could bestow along the way. His first new album in five years, Altitude, explores a cosmic country landscape populated by dreamers and drifters, misfits and angels, honky-tonk heroes and lonesome lovers.
