Dividends from Addressing Climate Change
May 15, 2018
Henry Jakubowski received a BS in Chemistry after spending several years as an Astronomy/Physics major. Following his undergraduate degree, he developed clinical diagnostic tests at the Mayo Clinic for four years before pursuing a Ph.D in Biochemistry at the University of Iowa. He returned to Mayo for a two-year postdoctoral fellowship in Biophysics before taking a faculty position in the Chemistry Department at the College of St. Benedict/St. John’s University, where he has taught for 30 years. He is also a visiting Professor of Chemistry at Southwest University, Beibei, Chongqing, China as a result of his teaching there and work developing a student research collaboration between the two universities. In recent years he has increasingly realized the impact of climate change on the world we are leaving for our children and grandchildren and has felt he has not done enough to bring the science of climate change to his students and to the general public. The urgency of this issue has led him to develop programs and give talks on climate change and present solutions which offer hope for future generations. |

The Soils of Stearns County
Jul. 03, 2018
Stearns County is home to a highly diverse landscape of soils. We will explore some of the history of how the soils across our county were formed and what type of characteristics they have. Even more interesting is the history of how early settlers of Stearns County have interacted with those soils through various agricultural practices. This talk will bring together the topics of Stearns County soils and how humans have interacted with these soils across our diverse landscape. |

An Open Invitation To End Domestic Violence
Aug. 14, 2018 12:00 p.m.
Startling statistic about domestic violence: Every 9 seconds a women is a victim of domestic violence; and in Minnesota, one in every three homeless women was homeless due to domestic violence (2003 stat). Anna Marie’s Alliance incorporates innovative practices to address this ongoing public health concern that continues to impact families in Central MN. In addition to recent initiatives such as trauma informed care and a pet safe home, Anna Marie’s Alliance has embarked on it’s Building Hope Campaign. This campaign will enhance Anna Marie’s Alliances ability to engage with the community through the Center for Family Peace; a new 7,000 sq ft facility that will house prevention and education programming as well as it’s non-residential community advocacy services. A second major outcome of the campaign will be transforming the current emergency shelter from dormitory style living space to apartment style living space. This significant change will allow more privacy for people that have experienced considerable trauma and more autonomy for families that are in transition to a new life.
Charles Hempeck, executive director, will share how these changes will have a positive effect on people directly impacted by domestic violence and on the community as a whole. |

The Rotary Club of St. Cloud Presents An Evening of Erudition in the de Tocqueville Tradition A Continuance of Civil Discourse and Rotary Camaraderie Seeking Wisdom and Understanding One Evening in Autumn Version Number Seven Tuesday October 30, 2018 ~Six o’clock in the evening until ~nine o’clock in the evening Hors d’oeuvres, Beverages, Schnacks Where: At the Home of Tarryl (and Doug) Clark 2511 15th Street North ~ St. Cloud, MN 56303 Who: All 141 Rotarians are cordially invited/ included – Rotaractors, too, but we need you to please reply There are two (2) books, the first book, Separate and Unequal, the Kerner Report, 1968, is largely expository but enormously instructive looking back fifty years. The report's most famous passage warned, "Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate and unequal." The second book, Between the World and Me, Coates, 2015 is gut-wrenching/ explosive/ troubling/ way outside most comfort zones. We will read each/ both and then discuss/ expound. Each book is much, much easier to read than last year's selection, by the way. Interested? Want to know more? 320-224-4492 MichaelAllenMullin@gmail.com Of note: Read these books even if you can’t participate in the evening… worth your while. KERNER CONCLUSION 1968: One of the first witnesses to be invited to appear before this Commission was Dr. Kenneth B. Clark, a distinguished and perceptive scholar. Referring to the reports of earlier riot commissions, he said: I read that report. . . of the 1919 riot in Chicago, and it is as if I were reading the report of the investigating committee on the Harlem riot of '35, the report of the investigating committee on the Harlem riot of '43, the report of the McCone Commission on the Watts riot. I must again in candor say to you members of this Commission--it is a kind of Alice in Wonderland--with the same moving picture re-shown over and over again, the same analysis, the same recommendations, and the same inaction. These words come to our minds as we conclude this report. We have provided an honest beginning. We have learned much. But we have uncovered no startling truths, no unique insights, no simple solutions. The destruction and the bitterness of racial disorder, the harsh polemics of black revolt and white repression have been seen and heard before in this country. It is time now to end the destruction and the violence, not only in the streets of the ghetto but in the lives of people. “It is hard to face this. But all our phrasing—race relations, racial chasm, racial justice, racial profiling, white privilege, even white supremacy—serves to obscure that racism is a visceral experience, that it dislodges brains, blocks airways, rips muscle, extracts organs, cracks bones, breaks teeth. You must never look away from this. You must always remember that the sociology, the history, the economics, the graphs, the charts, the regressions all land, with great violence, upon the body.” |
