Bright Smiles is the dental program available through Healthy Kids She says the vast majority of kids come to school ready to learn. Community Care school-based clinics. Susie Poulton, RN, MSN, Another portion may not have all the resources they’d like available, Director of Health and Student Services, coordinates staff and clinics and then there’s another group with so many barriers that they’re at to ensure all students’ health needs are met so they can attend school a distinct disadvantage to learn. ready to learn. “Healthy children are optimal learners.” While the Midwest is somewhat sheltered from unemployment and poverty experienced in large urban centers, the Great Recession has impacted Johnson County families. Of the 5,000 families served by the 133-square mile school district, nearly 400 students have living arrangements other than their own home or apartment. Nearly a third of district families live in poverty. Dental care is a basic need that’s often postponed, especially during a financial crisis. Poulton says approximately 1 percent of the district’s student population receive Bright Smiles dental services each year. The children served are new to the district or they haven’t lived in a location long enough to establish residency. Sometimes insurance coverage isn’t available where parents work, they don’t qualify for Hawk-I insurance or perhaps they just purchase catastrophic insurance. Poulton says all children in a family can receive services through the clinic if they are uninsured, underinsured or have barriers to accessing health care. Last year, Bright Smiles covered $27,000 in preventative dental care, dental treatment and restorative dental care services for children, infants to age 21, through the University of Iowa College of Dentistry. She adds very often parents pay a portion of the cost of the initial visit. Initially, Dr. Marguertie Oetting, pediatric physician at University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics, volunteered medical services for Healthy Kids Clinics. Now, UIHC donates her services one day a week. A Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from the University of Iowa College of Nursing and UIHC Child Psychiatrist also provide medical services, and the clinic employs a full-time, bilingual coordinator. Clinics are held at Northwest, South East Junior High schools on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and once a month a mobile clinic visits City and West High schools. ICCSD programs such as family resource centers, school health clinics, and federal Safe Schools-Healthy Students grants are some of the tools the district uses to reach out to families in need of assistance. “It’s preventative medicine,” Poulton says of the Bright Smiles clinics. “Parents tell us they are very, very grateful. And they tell us they are welcomed and accepted in our district and appreciate being treated with respect.

After a few quiet weeks around the holidays, winter is always a remarkably busy time at the theater as we prepare for Mission Creek Festival (full disclosure: I am a co-founder but many people have their hands in making this event work). This year marks the tenth installment of Mission Creek Festival in Iowa City, and we at the Englert are proud to be the producer of the festival. The lineup often reminds me of the programmatic vision that drives my work at the theater: to present the known and unknown side-by-side, to find a balance between the traditional and the experimental, to be reminded of a familiar feeling and to be rewarded by a new experience. Indeed, part of my job is to bring old favorites like Joan Baez, hot new bands like Lake Street Dive, or an institution of comedy like The Second City.

The two contended that a public knowledge of bundlers — as the major fundraisers are known — is in the interest of Iowans. “If the Republican candidates for president aren’t forthcoming about who exactly is helping them to get elected, how can we know for sure that those same people won’t be calling in favors if their candidate wins election to the White House,” Dvorsky said at the conference. Dvorsky also stressed trans- parency and accountability as a reason for naming bundlers. President Obama recently made public his major contributors, according to the release, having done the same for his 2008 cam- paign. Danielson said at the conference he was shocked that no Republican candidate had not yet volunteered the disclosure of her or his major fundraisers. — by Ariana Witt Palin to hit Iowa in September Former Alaska Gov.

While this historic building has been in Iowa City for 102 years, the nonprofit that runs it —The Englert Civic Theatre—opened its doors in 2004. Since then, it has been a riveting journey towards becoming a key member of the Corridor’s cultural community. We are both proud and deeply thankful that we’ve been able to do so much since we reopened. Our road to the Englert of the present and the future began when a collection of dedicated citizens stepped up and said, “We need the Englert to be part of our community.” What followed was a long and rigorous campaign that led to the renovation of our historic site and involved efforts from various arms of our community, including granting organizations, Andre Perry, Executive Director Corridor businesses, and passionate individuals. A decade before the age of Kickstarter, it was the first major crowdfunding arts campaign to hit Iowa City. As we celebrate 10 years of our nonprofit and the vibrant culture in our surrounding community, our driving inspiration is the theme of gratitude. Thank you for supporting us.
