Borlaug Hall of Laureates Tcelebrates the life and legacy of one of Iowa’s greatest heroes. The sensational grand GRAND OPENING opening of the Hall of Laureates in October, 2011 was a significant highlight of the 25th Anniversary of the World Food Prize which was founded by Dr. Borlaug. The Hall of Laureates The Hall of Laureates project was officially inaugurated on October 18, 2001, when John Ruan III announced a gift of $5 million by his father John Ruan Sr. and the Ruan family to convert what was then still the Des Moines Public Library building into a home for the World Food Prize. John Ruan III took the stage at the Des Moines Civic Center in front of a crowd of 2,500 people with Dr. Borlaug at his side, and made the announcement of his family’s gift in Dr. Borlaug’s honor. For the next 10 years, the World Food Prize Foundation, under the leadership of Ambassador Kenneth Quinn, carried out the campaign to raise more than $30 million to complete this project. With a dynamic team of architects, a comprehensive design was created to transform this 19th century library and cultural center into the global headquarters of the World Food Prize, giving this Iowa architectural treasure a new purpose in the 22nd century. At the end of the 19th century, urban planning came into vogue and, with it, the “City Beautiful” movement which stressed the incorporation of the new civic buildings, parks and statuary to be placed in the heart of American cities. The Public Library was a central element of Des Moines’ “City Beautiful” plan. Its cornerstone was laid in 1900 and it opened to the

  • Elaine Szymoniak
    2588 MEMORIALS ELAINE SZYMONIAK Elaine Szymoniak was born on May 24, 1920, in Boscobel, Wisconsin. She passed away on May 20, 2009, at the age of 88. She is survived by her five children, Kathy Szymoniak of Social Circle, Georgia, Peter Szymoniak of Milton, Florida, John Szymoniak of Boise, Idaho, Mary Polson of Urbandale, and Tom Szymoniak of Bend, Oregon; three grandchildren; three step grandchildren; and three great grandchildren. Szymoniak graduated from the University of Wisconsin, earning her bachelor’s degree in education and speech pathology. She worked in public school systems in Wisconsin, New York, and Kansas before finally settling in Iowa. She also put her medical skills to use as one point working at Army Hospital Aural Rehabilitation Center in Oklahoma. She married Casimir “Chuck” Szymoniak on December 7, 1943. She spent three decades working with the state of Iowa for the benefit of people with disabilities. She earned her master’s degree from Iowa State University. She served on the Des Moines City Council for eleven years from 1978-1989. Elected in 1989 to the Iowa Senate she was ranking member of the Human Resources standing committee. She also served on standing committees for Education, Ethics, State Government, and Ways and Means. Many of the bills she sponsored concerned education, family welfare, and care of the elderly and disabled. Her passion for certain issues may have been in part to her older brothers’ challenges with cerebral palsy as well as being born to deaf parents. Szymoniak was endorsed and recognized by the Des Moines Register in 1992 as an extremely hardworking, dedicated, and conscientious lawmaker who was regarded as one of the more effective legislators.

  • Noise in Our Environ­ Ment
    Noise in Our Environ­ ment his issue of EPA Journal Treviews the battle against noise-a pollutant that most of us are exposed to at home, at work, at play, and on the streets. Administrator Costle notes that noise control is critical and that ways can be found to keep abatement costs within reason. An article by Deputy Assistant Secretary Hales of the Department of Interior points out that modern noise is an intrusion that can detract from our enjoyment of national parks. Legislat ive aspects of noise control are outlined by Senator John Culver and Representative James Florio. A former Surgeon General describes the adverse impact noise can have on health. Other articles review the role noise plays in our cities, neighborhoods, and at work. Some of the ways we can deal with the problem of too much noise are described in articles about volunteer organizations, product regulation, and public information. A look at the impact of hearing loss on personal life and conflicting views on the need for sirens also are included. International steps to control noise and EPA's cooperation with Ger­ many on environmental matters round out the issue.
