WITCC Lifelong Learning Fall 2021 Catalog

Learning & Growing Together

LEARNING AND GROWING TOGETHER

Welcome to the Fall 2021 edition of the Lifelong Learning catalog. This semester is our transition back to in-person learning. I'm so excited to see you in the classroom again.

Some classes will be entirely in person. Some classes will be entirely via Zoom. However, the majority of classes will have the choice for either. There are a lot of options for you from a delicious holiday cocktail class to Stretch and Flex to a history class spanning five decades taught by Russ Gifford.

I will be on maternity leave for a majority of the semester. While I am gone, I will have help from various areas of the college and an instructor with whom Mara Hall you may be familiar. Crystal Huls, from Crystal’s Craft Corner, will be Institute for Lifelong Learning available to help with a lot of the background management of the program. Western Iowa Tech Community College I hope you find classes that help you learn and bring you joy. I hope the 712-274-8733, ext. 1864 world continues to become safer, so we are able to keep getting back to more [email protected] and more in-person learning and growing together. Stay safe and healthy. Look for the Zoom icon to indicate Zoom-only classes. The rest of the classes will be held in person. If you would like to attend an in-person class via Zoom, please contact Mara, Crystal, or a registration clerk. We will do our best to accommodate. Two full weeks notice is required to ensure Zoom setup. FEATURES

Burnt Sugar By Avni Doshi

“'I would be lying if I said my mother's misery has never given me pleasure.'

This is a tale of obsession and betrayal. This is a poisoned love story. But not between lovers - between mother and daughter.

Tara and Antara, the woman and her angry shadow. But which one is which?

Sharp as a blade and compulsively readable, 'Burnt Sugar' slowly untangles the knot of memory and fiction that binds two women together, revealing the truth that lies beneath.”

Heart of Junk By Luke Geddes

“The city of Wichita, Kansas, is wracked with panic over the abduction of toddler pageant princess Lindy Bobo. However, the dealers at The Heart of America Antique Mall are too preoccupied by their own neurotic compulsions to take much notice. Postcards, perfume bottles, Barbies, vinyl records, kitschy neon beer signs—they collect and sell it all.

Rather than focus on Lindy, this colorful cast of characters is consumed by another drama: the impending arrival of Mark and Grant from the famed antiques television show Pickin’ Fortunes, who are planning to film an episode at The Heart of America and secretly may be the last best hope of saving the mall from bankruptcy. Yet the mall and the missing beauty queen have more to do with each other than these vendors might think, and before long, the group sets in motion a series of events that lead to surprising reve- lations about Lindy’s whereabouts. As the mall becomes implicated in her disappearance, will Mark and Grant be scared away from all of the drama or will they arrive in time to save The Heart of America from going under?

Equally comical and suspenseful, 'Heart of Junk' is also a biting commentary on our current Marie Kondo era. It examines why certain objects resonate with us so deeply, rebukes Kondo’s philosophy of wholesale purging, and argues that “junk” can have great value—connecting us not only to our personal pasts but to our shared human history. As author Luke Geddes writes: ‘A collection was a record of a life lived, maybe not well or happily but at least with attention and passion. It was autobiography made whole.’”

Shiner By Amy Jo Burns

“On a lush mountaintop trapped in time, two women vow to protect each other at all costs—and one young girl must defy her father to survive.

An hour from the closest West Virginia mining town, fifteen-year-old Wren Bird lives in a cloistered mountain cabin with her parents. They have no car, no mailbox, and no visitors—except for her mother's lifelong best friend. Every Sunday, Wren's father delivers winding sermons in an abandoned gas station, where he takes up serpents and praises the Lord for his blighted white eye, proof of his divinity and key to the hold he has over the community, over Wren and her mother.

But over the course of one summer, a miracle performed by Wren's father quickly turns to tragedy. As the order of her world begins to shatter, Wren must uncover the truth of her father's mysterious legend and her mother's harrowing history and complex bond with her best friend. And with that newfound knowledge, Wren can imagine a different future for herself than she has been told to expect.

Rich with epic love and epic loss, and diving deep into a world that is often forgotten but still part of America, 'Shiner' reveals the hidden story behind two generations' worth of Appalachian heartbreak and resolve. Amy Jo Burns brings us a smoldering, taut debut novel about modern female myth-making in a land of men—and one young girl who must ultimately open her eyes.”

The Voyage of the Morning Light By Marina Endicott

“Kay and Thea are half-sisters, separated in age by almost twenty years, but deeply attached. When their stern father dies, Thea travels to Nova Scotia for her long-promised marriage to the captain of the Morning Light. But she can- not abandon her orphaned young sister, so Kay too embarks on a life-changing journey to the other side of the world.

At the heart of 'The Voyage of the Morning Light' is a crystallizing moment in Micronesia: Thea, still mourning a miscarriage, forms a bond with a young boy from a remote island and takes him on board as her own son. Over time, the repercussions of this act force Kay, who considers the boy her brother, to examine her own assumptions—which are increasingly at odds with those of society around her— about what is forgivable and what is right.

Inspired by a true story, Marina Endicott shows us a now-vanished world in all its wonder, and in its darkness, prejudice, and difficulty, too. She also brilliantly illuminates our present time through Kay’s examination of the idea of ‘difference’—between people, classes, continents, cultures, customs and species. 'The Voyage of the Morning Light' is a breathtaking novel by a writer who has an astonishing ability to bring past worlds vividly to life while revealing the moral complexity of our own.”

Ronald Reagan Reshapes America

We have grown used to presidents that are frustrated in their ambitions. They fight Congress to eke out a single bill as a cornerstone of their policy achievements. Yet in 1980, an aged ex-TV star with no known connections to Congress took his seat in the Oval Office. Ronald Reagan’s party did not control Congress. In fact, over most of his life, he had disagreed with his own party.

Much of America thought his perpetual campaign a joke. He was too old and completely out of step with mainstream America. Yet it was a landslide! He did not carry Congress. What chance did he have? The real question turned out to be what chance did Congress have? The Reagan Revolution started on a cold January morning and changed everything.

This series studies leadership skills of presidents and the tools they use to gain and exercise power. In this class, historian Russ Gifford will share examples of how a master used those skills.

Sandwiched between the Boom and Bust Era of the 1890s and the outbreak of the Great War, the first decade of the 20th Century was a time of conservative, but constant development in Sioux City. The economy became strongly rooted in agricultural and livestock processing, manufacturing and distribution. This era witnessed the opening of Armour & Co., the founding of the Sioux City Grain Exchange, and the start of the Interstate Livestock Fair. Disasters like the Perry Creek floods in 1908 and 1909, and the Pelletier Fire of 1904 forced the reconstruction of much of downtown.

PREHISTORY OF THE NATIVES OF THE SOUTHWEST Join historian Russ Gifford to examine the story of the people behind the pueblos, the great houses, and the cliff dwellings. Who were they? Where did they come from? And where did they go? We will learn what early explorers thought when they stumbled on these abandoned great houses, larger than any building most had experienced. We will also discuss construction, materials, and why they were built where they were. Beyond the awe-inspiring buildings, we will investigate the vast trade network and the possible connection to other native groups of the era. What have scientists determined in the past few decades about the inhabitants of these regions and their disappearance?

Chaco Canyon In the middle of an arid desert, massive buildings were home to the Chaco Culture. The pueblo style, with the multi-level houses built without mortar or modern means, still stand ten centuries later. The kivas and courtyards beckon modern explorers looking for an answer to who built them. How did they live in such an inhospitable region? Where did they go? Join Russ Gifford to examine how these buildings came to exist and find clues about the people who lived there.

Mesa Verde and the Four Corners Region The cliff dwellings built on the mesa in southeastern Colorado are a joy to behold. The concept seems too fan- tastic to contemplate with the sturdy multilevel buildings tucked into openings or built on the high-topped buttes of the mountain. Further out, near the modern Four Corners area, are yet other outposts. It seems to speak of an orga- nized civilization with a large trading network. Join Russ Gifford as he uncovers the clues of this great mystery!

Out of 100 million votes cast, perhaps as few as 127 votes in Florida made George W. Bush president over Al Gore. Good or bad, it is a reality, votes do count. It was the first presidential reversal of the popular vote since 1888. History says there will be a rematch; however, this time, bigger things intruded. The 9/11 attacks on the United States resulted in an American army invading Afghanistan and flattening the country. However, no decision on what victory looked like meant this would become America's longest war.

Job losses that began when the tech bubble burst continued as the shift away from manufacturing jobs remade America as a service economy. Technology played a role. More jobs were lost to automation than any other factor. But the public pointed to high immigration, legal and otherwise, as a reason for shirking employment numbers resulting in anger that boiled.
