In a recent opinion piece for The Daily Iowan, a vital point was made about the importance of regional theater. It said “not every production is ultra famous, boasting popular actors in leading rules. But every production is important.” (I even posted about it on WINMI's instagram feed, which you can follow: @winmipodcast.) The point being made was that Broadway may get all the attention, but it is in venues across the country, including college theaters, where the true heart and soul of theater resides. They bring diverse stories to local communities, they nurture new talent, and ultimately keep the art form vibrant and accessible to so many people of all backgrounds and experiences. And today's guest has been on a mission to bring live theater to as wide an audience as possible. Rob Melrose faced many challenges in founding the Cutting Ball Theater, which involved a lot of crap, literally, and we'll discuss his current position at The Alley Theatre and the unique audition of sorts he had to go through to land that leadership role. But what's truly fascinating is the work he's done as a writer of new works and translator of existing plays. And by wearing many hats in theater from writer and director to producer, he's learned valuable lessons not only for his own career but for the theater arts as a whole.

Dan talks with Josh Stearns, the senior director of the Public Square Program at Democracy Fund. The Democracy Fund is an independent foundation that works for something very basic and increasingly important: to ensure that our political system is able to withstand new challenges. Josh leads the foundation's work rebuilding local news. The Democracy Fund supports media leaders, defends press freedom, and holds social media platforms accountable. (Ellen was stuck in traffic somewhere on the Zakim Bridge in Boston for the duration of this show, but she'll return next episode!) In our Quick Takes, Dan poaches in Ellen's territory and reports on a development in Iowa, the Hawkeye State.   When two local weekly newspapers near Iowa City recently got into trouble, their owner found an unusual buyer: The Daily Iowan, the independent nonprofit student newspaper. Now there are plans to supplement local coverage with contributions from student journalists. It's not something Dan would like to see everywhere — after all, we want to make sure there are jobs for student journalists after they graduate. But at least in this case, it sounds like the Iowa solution is going to be good for the weekly papers, good for the students and good for the communities they serve.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette Digital News Desk, and I'm here with your update for November 3, 2023.According to the National Weather Service Friday will be mostly sunny in the Cedar Rapids area, with a high near 52 degrees. On Friday evening there will be increasing clouds with a low of around 37 degrees.After state party heads Wednesday called for leaders of a University of Iowa-based student organization of Democrats to resign over a statement deemed offensive related to the Israel-Hamas war, the Iowa State University College Democrats joined the fray by disaffiliating from the Iowa Democratic Party.“This is not a decision we have taken lightly,” according to the ISU College Democrats statement. “But one that we believe is in the best interest of our club and our commitment to advancing our values and principles.”The University Democrats at Iowa posted Wednesday on social media a statement expressing support for Palestine amid the Israel-Hamas war. The statement, which since has been deleted, ended with, “May every Palestinian live long and free, from the river to the sea,” according to The Daily Iowan.The phrase “from the river to the sea” refers to the land between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea. Palestinians have used the phrase for decades to call for the restoration of the land where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians once lived before being forced to leave with the establishment in Israel in 1948, Jessica Winegar, a sociocultural anthropologist at Northwestern University who studies political protest and the Middle East, recently told the Chicago Sun-Times.Late Wednesday, shortly after the University Democrats at Iowa statement was posted, Iowa Democratic Party state Chair Rita Hart issued a statement condemning the college group's statement and calling for the resignation of any member who signed it.None of the student leaders for the group responded to questions from The Gazette on Thursday. The group also hasn't posted on any of its social media channels since pulling down the controversial statement Wednesday.A Tama woman was sentenced Thursday to more than two years in federal prison for draining nearly all her nephew's trust fund — more than $380,000 of his Meskwaki per capita funds and Social Security benefits — which was mostly spent on diamond jewelry for herself.Nancy Lee Johnson, 69, previously pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to one of the seven counts of wire fraud after she was indicted in 2022.U.S. District Judge C.J. Williams sentenced Johnson to 33 months in federal prison and ordered her to pay $387,213 in restitution.According to plea agreement, Johnson's nephew, a member of the Sac & Fox Tribe of the Mississippi in Tama, couldn't manage his finances due to “mental disabilities.” Johnson was appointed as his guardian in 2011.In 2017, she filed a petition in Meskwaki Tribal Court to become her nephew's permanent guardian and conservator, the plea stated. In the petition, she said her nephew couldn't care for himself and make important decisions concerning his finances.According to the plea, she used her position as guardian and conservator to transfer money from her nephew's trust fund into an account she opened in her name for the unauthorized purchases. Johnson was able to conceal her scheme based on her guardianship and claimed that she was acting on the nephew's behalf.

El Santo, masks, spandex suits... all were yet to be conceived when Salvador Lutteroth González launched Mexico's first ever national pro wrestling promotion, on 21st September 1933. ‘Lucha Libre' - basically translated as ‘freestyle wrestling' - has its roots in folklore, carnival sideshows and Greco-Roman traditions; but it was only after matches began to be televised in the 1950s that the events truly took flight.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the authenticity of this scripted sport; reveal the surprising source of production finances that enabled the expansion of the promotion; and discuss the luchador who doesn't even fight, except in union disputes… Further Reading: • ‘The Marvel of Mexican Wrestling: A Brief History' (The Daily Iowan, 2021): https://dailyiowan.com/2021/07/27/the-marvel-of-mexican-wrestling-a-brief-history/ • ‘Lucha libre – an introduction to Mexican wrestling' (Lonely Planet, 2015): https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/lucha-libre-an-introduction-to-mexican-wrestling • ‘El Santo vs. las Mujeres Vampiro' (1962): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bS7VDneMcM&t=60s Love the show?

“I classify my research as where equity meets science. The people who are really going to need [smart sutures] will not be able to afford them. So, I decided to make something cost-effective.” Dasia Taylor Inventor   The artwork Dasia Taylor's portrait in the Fearless Portrait Project consists of an ink drawing on a map of Iowa. Her hometown of Iowa City is located on the right side, where her neck meets her shoulder.   The story:  When 17-year-old Dasia Taylor heard about smart sutures—which use electrical currents and smart phone connections to monitor wound infections—she was intrigued, but she also saw a problem: the people who would need these the most would have the lowest access to them.  According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 2-4% of sutured wounds become infected in the US. That number rises to 10-20% in some developing countries, where digital access also drops.  Taylor saw an opportunity to bring equity to this situation and set to work developing a low-tech solution to improving health outcomes. And she wasn't going to let something like not having participated in a science fair since first grade hold her back. She began researching the problem of wound infection with her chemistry teacher at Iowa City West High School in the fall of 2019. While healthy human skin has an acidic pH of about 5, infected skin reaches pH 9. After juicing dozens of beets, Taylor discovered beet juice changes color from red to purple at the same pH level as infected skin.  After experimenting with different threads, Taylor found a cotton/polyester blend worked the best. When treated with the beet dye, the thread would change color in five minutes when in the presence of an infection. The goal of this color-changing thread is for patients to self-monitor themselves and know when to seek medical attention.   She began entering her work into science fairs and quickly began racking up prizes, even becoming a finalist in the Regeneron Science Talent Search. The annual talent search is one of the most prestigious science contests for high school students.  Taylor says she's patenting her invention and looking to set up lab space to continue her research before starting college, where she plans to study political science and become a lawyer.  “I have to continue my research. These stitches literally will revolutionize wound treatment in developing countries,” she says. “I'm definitely not stopping until my stitches get to those who need them.”   Music: This episode contains music by Geovane Bruno and Anton Vlasov.    Sources: Firozi, P.

The Daily Iowan and Des Moines Register reported the eight former players, all Black, are being represented by Tulsa, Okla., civil rights attorney Damario Solomon-Simmons, who sent a registered letter Oct. 5th to Barta, the Ferentzes and UI President Bruce Harreld with the demands, adding a lawsuit would be filed if the demands were not met by today. A man needed to have an eye removed following an assault in Cedar Rapids two months ago. According to a Linn County criminal complaint, the victim reported to Cedar Rapids police that 23-year-old Levar Turner assaulted him by repeatedly striking him in the face, causing unconsciousness and serious injuries at Turner's home in the 2300 block of B Avenue NE. https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/public-safety/levar-turner-willful-serious-injury-assault-cedar-rapids-eye-20201018 (The victim lost vision in his right eye, which eventually had to be removed) as a result of the assault. Turner has been charged with willful injury causing serious injury, a Class C felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison. No single thunderstorm event in modern times — not even a tornado — has wrought as much economic devastation as the Aug. 10th derecho that slammed Eastern Iowa and other parts of the Corn Belt, according to both public and private analyses.

In an October update to its database of billion-dollar weather disasters, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration estimated damages from the derecho, which raced from Iowa to Indiana, https://www.thegazette.com/subject/news/nation-and-world/analysis-iowa-derecho-costliest-us-thunderstorm-disaster-in-2020-even-beating-several-hurricanes-20201017 (at $7.5 billion).
