If a chorus of 12 teens can provide compelling commentary on immigration enforcement from the stage of a venerable performing arts center in Santa Fe, how might ten times that number of voices impact the debate? From a Broadway venue that has welcomed some of the twentieth century's most influential social justice visionaries?  Key Change co-hosts Andrea Fellows-Fineberg and Anna Garcia pilot the time machine east to find out, setting a course for the 2022 premiere of Hometown to the World at New York's storied Town Hall. Adding their insights to this aural postcard are Hometown's composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist Kimberly Reed; Melay Araya, artistic director at The Town Hall; several chorus members from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts, as well as the audience. Hometown––an original work commissioned by Santa Fe Opera for its Opera For All Voices (OFAV) initiative––follows the events of a 2008 raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of a kosher meatpacking plant in Postville, IA. The opera explores themes of religion, acceptance, and community, igniting a communal desire to create a more equitable world. “People that are already empathetic, they need fuel,” says Melay. “They need the refocusing that Laura and Kim provide in language and song to think larger and to address these issues, not just on the granular level, but as spiritual and ethical questions.” Hometown closes with a Hebrew call to action, delivered by that sprawling chorus of young, hopeful voices: Tikkun Olam! Repair the world!

You've heard of main character energy? Well, get ready for youth chorus energy! Andrea Fellows-Fineberg connects with an optimistic, pragmatic, and empathetic mindset courtesy of the youth chorus members who participated in the December 2021 world premiere of Opera For All Voices' Hometown To The World. Their insights and post-performance emotion speak to art's ability to foster community––with Ely Aguilar, Francesco Aimale, and Estevan Flórez-Mansi. We also hear post-show reactions from artists, creators, collaborators, and the audience buoyed by musical excerpts from the premiere at the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe.  So much has changed in the decade since the events of Hometown took place in Postville, IA. And yet. “At the end of the opera, I was thinking to myself this opera is beautiful but, like, there's no resolution. And that kind of hurt me,” Estevan says of the myriad issues that still complicate our national discourse on immigration.  The youth chorus took on an increasingly significant role during the evolution of Composer Laura Kaminsky and Librettist Kimberly Reed's intimate yet expansive one-act opera, questioning character motivations and responding to individual struggles for acceptance. That experience helped Ely deepen his awareness of human interdependence onstage and off. “This is a world premiere. I feel like this is going to be really touching for a lot of people. And I feel like it's going to bring more people together. But, like, everyone has to put in their own part so we could all do this together.” Francesco combines Ely's idealism with a practical call to action. “I don't think twelve kids and three kind-of famous actors are gonna get a ton of messages across. More people in power need to start spreading these issues about how it's wrong to just hate people for being themselves.” Don't worry about the chorus. These kids are alright.

When an initiative is called Opera For All Voices, who's the “all”? Key Change Season Four examines OFAV's burgeoning legacy of co-creating new operatic works through a community-centric lens, beginning with an OG favorite, Hometown To The World. Host Andrea Fellows-Fineberg revisits the production with core members of its artistic team, young performers, and the most influential collaborator: the audience––featuring Ruth Nott, Composer Laura Kaminsky, Librettist Kimberly Reed, and a behind-the-scenes segment with Estevan Flórez-Mansi, youth chorus member. There's perhaps no better modern operatic representation of community than Hometown To The World, a story of family, solidarity, and immigration set amidst the turmoil of a 2008 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid on a meatpacking plant in Postville, Iowa. The timing of Hometown's world premiere in December 2021 only intensified its message.  As the world grappled with the anxiety of a global pandemic, OFAV's talented group of artists dedicated themselves to addressing complex contemporary issues via a centuries-old art form––even as they had to remain socially distanced to engage the audience with this profound work. “I think that's part of what I love so much about live performance,” says Andrea. “You can sing all you want and sing as beautifully all you want, but if no one's there to appreciate it, to experience it, that's just singing.”  Kimberly agrees, noting that when opera amplifies previously overlooked stories, the audience begins to see itself and each other in profound new ways. “That constant dialogue and constant reshaping of our world around us, that's just what life is about.” FEATURING Andrea Klunder - Key Change Producer Ruth Nott - Managing Director, Opera Parallèle Laura Kaminsky - Composer, Hometown To The World Kimberly Reed - Librettist, Hometown To The World Estevan Flórez-Mansi - Youth Chorus Member, Hometown To The World And many HTTW artists, collaborators and audience members MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE Hawai'i Opera Theater - Digital Premier, Hometown To The World As One RELATED EPISODES Season 1, Episode 6 “Hometown to the World” - Hometown's Laura Kaminsky and Kimberly Reed on telling history and collaboration Season 2, Episode 9 “America Is Impossible Without Us” - Revisiting Hometown's story, structure, music, and what it means to be an American with Laura Kaminsky and Kimberly Reed during the San Francisco workshop. Season 3, Episode 3 "Responding to the World" -  Stage Director Kristine McIntyre shares her own connection to the story, as the granddaughter of Italian immigrants.  Dramaturg Cori Ellison points out that both sides of the operatic equation - new work and standard repertory pieces - can thrive alongside each other. Season 3, Episode 8 “Bridging Communities with Carmen Flórez-Mansi" - Chorus Master Carmen Flórez-Mansi discusses the joys of working with Hometown's talented young adults and reflects on her deeply personal responses to this urgent and ultimately uplifting contemporary opera. *** Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera in collaboration with Opera for All Voices.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Saturday, November 13 and Sunday, November 14. We will stay in our newly found cold zone for the weekend, but there will be no more snow for now. According to a forecast from the National Weather Service there will be a high of 38 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area on Saturday. The day will begin cloudy, before gradually becoming sunny. Winds will blow at 10-15 mph. On Saturday night into Sunday morning there will be a small chance for rain, and a low of 36 degrees. On Sunday it will be mostly cloudy with a high of 35 degrees. It could be a bit breezier, with a northwest wind of 15 to 25 mph gusting as high as 35 mph. An 18-year-old Cedar Rapids man admitted during a Friday plea hearing that he fatally shot University of Iowa student, Malik Sheets, during an argument at a June 18 party last year. https://www.thegazette.com/crime-courts/lower-bail-for-teen-accused-of-killing-malik-sheets-was-denied-by-judge/ (Christian D. Emedi), originally charged with first-degree murder and obstruction of prosecution, pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of second-degree murder. Under the plea agreement, he will be sentenced to 15 years in prison. During the hearing, Emedi acknowledged he fired all five shots that killed Sheets, 20, who died from injuries to his neck and chest. The other teen charged in Sheets' death, Marshawn Jeffries, also of Cedar Rapids, has a tentative plea agreement, which hasn't been filed. Deere & Co. and the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America have reached their third tentative agreement, according to a release Friday from Brian Rothenberg, an UAW spokesman. A ratification vote by members of the union will be held Nov. 17 according to the Quad-City Times. The strike has been ongoing since mid October, affecting workers in three states, including thousands of workers in Eastern Iowa and Western Illinois. Cindy Axne, the lone Democrat in Iowa's congressional delegation, announced Friday that she plans to seek re-election in Iowa's 3rd Congressional District next year. Axne previously also considered running for the U.S. Senate or Iowa governor in 2022. She is serving her second two-year term in the U.S. House. Iowa's 3rd District race likely will draw national attention as Democrats attempt to maintain their slim majority in the U.S. House. Democrats have a small voter registration advantage in the new 3rd District, which includes Polk and Dallas counties, plus much of south-central Iowa. The crash that killed Iowa State Patrol Trooper Ted Benda last month happened when Benda swerved to avoid a deer while responding to a call at high speed, Iowa State Patrol reported Friday. Benda, 37, of rural Decorah, was https://www.thegazette.com/crashes/trooper-in-critical-condition-after-northeast-iowa-crash/ (driving south) on Highway 51 north of Postville around 11:30 p.m. Oct. 14 when he swerved to avoid striking a deer that had entered the roadway from the west, the Iowa State Patrol said. “Due to this evasive action, the Dodge Charger lost traction, entered into the east ditch, and struck an embankment on the driver's side,” Sgt.

This is Stephen Schmidt from the Gazette digital news desk and I'm here with your update for Thursday, October 21. Whereas Wednesday's weather featured the happy, sunny weather of early fall, Thursday will feature the cold and cloudy offerings of late fall. According to the National Weather Service it will be cloudy with a high near 55 degrees in the Cedar Rapids area. A wind of 15 mph will gust as high as 25 mph. Thursday night there will be a low of 36 degrees, and this will come with a chance for frost.  One hundred Iowans died this past week of COVID-19, the most deaths confirmed in a one-week period since April, though the number of new COVID-19 cases has decreased for the fourth consecutive week. State public health officials reported 6,907 new COVID-19 cases in the past week, compared to 8,167 cases the week before. The under 17 age group, one of the least vaccinated age groups, was again the largest age group with new cases. When factored in with the fact that those not fully vaccinated against COVID-19 account for 77.2 percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations, it continues to bear out that vaccines not only slow down the spread of the disease, they reduce the severity of symptoms for those who have breakthrough infections. Linn County Supervisor Stacey Walker said Wednesday he will not seek re-election next year after serving six years on the board, instead taking what he calls a “leap of faith” into new endeavors that include helping progressive candidates get elected. Walker, 33, the board's current chair, was first elected in 2016.  His seat will be up for election in 2022 with the term ending in January 2023. The Linn County Board of Supervisors now consists of Walker and Ben Rogers, both Democrats, and Louis Zumbach, a Republican. They each earn just under $120,000 a year.  According to the Associated Press,  unemployed Iowans would be required to meet weekly with state case managers, conduct twice as many weekly work searches and undergo audits to prove they're actively looking for work under a new proposal announced at a news conference Wednesday by Gov. Kim Reynolds. Unemployment payments could be frozen if unemployed workers fail to meet the new criteria. Reynolds said some of the changes will require legislative approval but didn't elaborate.  Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said more than 86,500 job openings are posted on the Iowa Workforce Development website spanning all industries statewide. She said nearly 68,000 Iowans remain unemployed. Iowa State Patrol Trooper Ted Benda died Tuesday, five days after crashing his patrol car while responding to a call in northeast Iowa. Benda, 37, was assisting the Clayton County Sheriff's Office with a call for service around 11:30 p.m. last Thursday when he was involved in a single-vehicle crash on Highway 51, about six miles north of Postville, the Sthttps://www.thegazette.com/crashes/trooper-in-critical-condition-after-northeast-iowa-crash/ (ate Patrol reported last week.) Benda was airlifted to Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse, Wis., where he was in critical condition for several days. The accident remains under investigation.

At its heart, Hometown To The World is a simple story of hope set amongst the emotionally complicated aftermath of a 2008 Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid in Postville, IA––the largest ever in US history. It's fitting, then, that host Andrea Fellows-Fineberg and her guest Chorus Master Carmen Flórez-Mansi close out this season of Key Change charting a buoyant, optimistic course towards the future. In addition to her roles as founder and director of the Choral Arts Society at St. Michael's High School in Santa Fe, she's also music director for the Cathedral Basilica where OFAV usually holds its summer concerts, pandemics not withstanding. Carmen is an artist in her own right, a musician, singer, mother, and community activist––identities that coalesce in her work with Hometown To The World. As the production prepares for its world premiere at the Lensic Performing Arts Center in December 2021, Andrea and Carmen discuss the joys of working with the talented young adults of the chorus and reflect on their deeply personal responses to Composer Laura Kaminsky's and Librettist Kimberly Reed's urgent, ultimately uplifting contemporary opera.  Carmen is no stranger to OFAV's commitment to developing new operatic works, having held the baton, or magic wand as we like to say, for 2019's premiere of Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun, the initiative's first-ever commission. “This was such an honor for me to be asked to be a part of this really important project. Sweet Potato…, the themes in that were about beauty and inclusion and love, and it carries over to what Hometown... is speaking about, but in a much more serious nature,” she says.  For Hometown To The World, Carmen brought together twelve singers ranging in age from 13 to 17 years of age. “I know that they're musically able to hold this together,” she says, her voice swelling with pride as she acknowledges the teens' willingness to so freely explore raw and powerful emotions, some of which are intensely personal, about immigration that the piece so beautifully confronts. “I think that the music is very challenging. So this will challenge them and also open whole new worlds.”  Hometown To The World challenges audiences to redefine the future, offering hope through family and, of course, opera.    RELATED EPISODES Hometown to the World: Discovering "Postville" with Laura Kaminsky and Kimberly Reed America Is Impossible Without Us: Revisiting Hometown to the World Responding to the World, Hometown to the World *** Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera in collaboration with Opera for All Voices.

Shots could begin as soon as Thursday, after a federal vaccine advisory committee issues recommendations for using the two-dose vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds. An announcement is expected Wednesday. Pfizer's vaccine is already being used in the U.S. for teens as young as 16, and Canada recently became the first to expand use to 12 and older. Gov. Kim Reynolds has removed the chief executive of the state's nursing home for veterans, months after praising his response to the coronavirus pandemic, her office said Monday. Reynolds' spokesman, Pat Garrett, said https://www.thegazette.com/state-government/iowa-gov-kim-reynolds-removes-commandant-timon-oujiri-of-the-iowa-veterans-home-in-marshalltown/ (Timon Oujiri was “relieved of his duties”) as commandant of the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown last week. He offered no additional information on the leadership change at the facility, which is Iowa's largest nursing home. Reynolds appointed Oujiri as commandant in 2017, and the Iowa Senate confirmed him in 2018. In his role, he oversaw one of the nation's largest state-owned nursing homes for veterans, with around 500 residents and 900 employees. Gov. Kim Reynolds on Monday https://www.thegazette.com/government-politics/iowa-governor-signs-alcoholic-drink-delivery-drivers-ed-bills-into-law/ (signed into law) bills allowing parents to teach driver's ed to their children and another putting an end to school districts voluntary diversity programs. The bill affecting school districts takes effect immediately and ends their ability to deny open enrollment because of their diversity programs. School districts in Davenport, Waterloo, Postville, West Liberty and Des Moines have voluntary diversity programs based on income. West Liberty's program also includes English Language Learners. Reynolds also signed a bill allowing third-party delivery services to deliver alcoholic beverages from bars and restaurants to Iowan's homes. The bill that allows parents to teach their teens to drive increases the amount of time a student spends driving with a parent, but it eliminates the role of the instructor — both in the classroom and behind the wheel.

The school board will meet May 24 to vote to approve the new mascot. The mascots “Wolves” and “Storm” were finalists in a previous districtwide survey, in which voters chose the mascot “Mavericks.” But that mascot name was overturned by the school board after learning the origin of the name comes from a Texas slave owner.

Immigration. Racism. Religion. Some themes are ever present in our society. In this episode, Key Change host Andrea Fellows Fineberg puts the time machine through its paces, capturing the artistic evolution that brought one of the first Opera for All Voices commissions to the stage...sort of. With wrenching plot twists worthy of La Traviata and more false endings than a Beethoven symphony, this is the story of Hometown to the World created by composer Laura Kaminsky and librettist Kimberly Reed. By extension, it is a story of our time.  The opera’s artistic journey, which began in 2016, encompasses years of rewrites, workshops, name changes, and character demises - and that doesn’t even factor in the open-ended setbacks of COVID-19. But to truly understand Hometown to the World, listeners must travel back in time even further to 2008. That year, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers raided a kosher meat processing plant in the small but thriving multicultural farming community of Postville, Iowa, deporting approximately 25% of the town’s residents.  This is not your grandmother’s canonical opera plot. And yet…Hometown to the World reverberates with the same tension and drama, terror and beauty. At its heart, Hometown… is a story about people learning to live together despite their differences. “People really do, for the most part, want to understand across difference and make a better world for all,” Laura says. “I have to believe that.” Immigration stories are American stories, as rich and varied as the human experience itself. Stage Director Kristine McIntyre shares her own connection, as the granddaughter of Italian immigrants. “I believe really firmly that my job, as an opera director, is to direct the music in the sense of finding what the story is inherent in what we are hearing as an audience member.”  Dramaturg Cori Ellison points out that both sides of the operatic equation - new work and standard repertory pieces - can thrive alongside each other, expanding perceptions of what art is and how we interact with each other.  Andrea steers the episode full-circle, returning listeners to 2021 and our current immigration, racism, and religion issues. Where does an opera about a decade-old ICE raid written at the onset of the most contentious political era in US history go after a global pandemic? Stay tuned.

El 12 de mayo de 2008, el pequeño y tranquilo pueblo de Postville, Iowa, cambió para siempre. Ese día, el Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) hizo una de las redadas más grandes en la historia de Estados Unidos a una planta procesadora de carne: detuvieron a casi 400 trabajadores indocumentados, y unos 300 de ellos fueron deportados. Después de esto, Postville no volvería a ser el mismo.

In 2008, ICE agents descended on a small rural town in Iowa for their largest operation in the history of the United States. As a result, the population of Postville was slashed almost in half and its economy collapsed. Maria and Julio talk to Almudena Toral and Ronny Rojas, two of the journalists behind a new documentary from Univision detailing the aftermath of the raid.

"Postville: Hometown to the World" almost didn't happen -- at least not as part of Opera for All Voices.  The true  and timely story of immigrant workers in a Kosher slaughterhouse and meat packing plant that was raided by ICE in 2008 in the town of Postville, Iowa felt too large in scope for the OFAV framework -- 3 singers, small pit orchestra, 90-minutes or less with no intermission, to be scaleable for different sized opera companies and venues... But, composer Laura Kaminsky's passionate personal connection to the story and librettist Kimberly Reed's track record as an adept documentarian and filmmaker inspired the OFAV team to defy the odds and take a chance. The second Opera for All Voices (OFAV) commission, "Postville: Hometown to the World", is scheduled to premiere in the Fall of 2020 at the San Francisco Opera.  *** Special music in this episode used with permission by Laura Kaminsky.

This week I’ve got Bob Bergman from Blanchardville Wisconsin.  He bought an old blacksmith shop 50 years ago in Postville, Wisconsin.  He talks about his beginnings and traveling through Europe working and learning at 15 different shops over 2 months.  He tells us the history behind the Postville Blacksmith shop which started in 1856.  What We Talked About  Bob started working in an advertising agency after college and immediately knew that business suit and desk were not for him! He then accepted a production assistant job for a feature film, it was 1968, the spring Martin Luther King was murdered. NYC was becoming electrified, amped up, so Bob decided to move out of state and look for land in Wisconsin. After purchasing 4 acres and a house, his realtor took him by an old but still operating blacksmith shop that was for sale. He met the 80-year-old blacksmith, who was the second owner of the business, and decided to purchase the business from him for $500 (the building, the tools, the land)! The first owner opened the shop in 1856. Bob learned his basic blacksmith skills from a local country blacksmith, Thomas Kammerude, who lived up the road from Bob’s newly purchased shop. In 1976, Bob attended one of the first ABANA blacksmith conferences in Carbondale, Illinois. He met Francis Whitaker at this conference and he wanted to learn more from him, so Francis told him he had to take a class first at the John C Campbell folk school.  Bob signed up long with Clay Spencer, Ray Nager, Glenn Gilmore, Jim Batson and more.  They would all continue to take master classes from Francis for the next few years. Bob continued to travel through the US and apprentice with working blacksmiths during his slow winters. In 1985 he also traveled through Europe, doing a journeyman type program over 2 months, working in 12 to 15 different shops in different countries. In the late 1990’s he expanded the shop by adding 4000 sq ft building and a 3000 sq ft machine shop to complete bigger jobs. After 50 years in business, Bob is ready for retirement and looking for a buyer for the business, shop, tools and land. If you are interested in more details, you can contact Bob here, (608) 527-2494 or email postvilleblacksmith@gmail.com. One “Golden Client” hired Bob to do a large amount of architectural work at his private home in Ridgeway CO, most of that work has been documented in the book called “Heritage in Iron”.

Kashrut, or keeping kosher, is often something we don't think about in Reform Judaism.  Yet, perhaps we as Reform Jews need to be at the forefront of teaching what it means not just to eat by this word, but to live by it.  With the horrible conditions in Postville, IA and the lack of condemnation from those who follow the dietary laws of kashrut, it is a reminded that we need to follow the moral lessons of kashrut and what it means to live by them today.
