SUMMARY:The Pulse of the Planet: Big Rivers and Their Role in Sustaining Life with Dean Klinkenberg
DESCRIPTION:Big rivers are one of nature’s greatest gifts\, yet we fundamentally misunderstand them. We see them as a threat when they run high\, but otherwise value them mostly for what we can move on top of them. Big rivers are complete systems that move and circulate water and nutrients\, creating and sustaining life from the smallest microorganisms to the largest predators. They work because the water\, trees\, grasses\, rocks\, and sand provide homes and sustenance for fish\, mammals\, rodents\, insects\, birds\, and so much more. We need big rivers\, for the life they create and sustain\, for their beauty\, for the sanctuary they offer from the stresses and demands of modern civilization. Big rivers also remind us that we are just one part of a big and complex world\, one that we need to take care of for our own survival. \nDean Klinkenberg is a St. Louis-based writer who focuses much of his writing and research on the Mississippi River. He has driven virtually all of the Great River Road\, hiked and canoed the river on multi-day expeditions\, and cruised on the American Queen steamboat as a guest lecturer. He is the author of the book “The Wild Mississippi: A State-by-State Guide to the River’s Natural Wonders”. Dean is a longtime partner in the Mississippi River Network (MRN)\, a coalition of organizations advocating for healthy and resilient river ecosystems.

SUMMARY:Author Talk with John Armbruster: Tailspin
DESCRIPTION:Join Author John Armbruster for a presentation and Q&A about his book\, Tailspin\, the true story of a Wisconsin WWII veteran you won’t believe is real! John’s presentation includes video and images from his research. Books will be available for sale. \nAbout the book:\nIn November 1943\, in the skies over Nazi Germany\, a wounded American tail gunner\, Gene Moran\, lay in the severed tail of his Flying Fortress bomber. The mangled wreckage plunged four miles toward German soil. His parachute shredded by enemy fire\, Gene awaited the inevitable. \nThe cartwheeling tail section slammed into a forest and dumped Gene onto the cold ground. He was alive! Gene fell four miles without a parachute and survived. But his ordeal had just begun. In the next seventeen months\, Gene would endure some of the worst episodes of the American prisoner of war experience in occupied Europe\, including the infamous “Hell Ship” and European Death March. \nFor more than sixty years\, Gene said little about one of the most extraordinary stories of World War II until he met the author\, John Armbruster. John\, a close friend of the Moran family\, initially refused to write Gene’s story. Twenty years removed from a journalism degree and writing high school basketball stories for newspapers\, John couldn’t imagine taking on such significant work. But the author agreed to the project when one of Gene’s daughters told John\, “He’ll do it\, but only if you write it.” The journey of telling the story becomes a story itself. \nTailspin ​chronicles Gene’s unbelievable World War II survival saga. It will also show an elderly man finally coming to terms with the cruelties of a war that would haunt his entire life. \nThis program is sponsored by the La Crescent Public Library and the Friends of the La Crescent Public Library.
