After 15 years, Cedar Rapids casino bet pays off

CEDAR RAPIDS — The plot of land off Interstate 380 on the west bank of the Cedar River is not just home to Linn County’s first casino. It’s also where the vision started. It was 2011, and the Cooper’s Mill restaurant still occupied the riverfront site when early stakeholders met there for lunch to seriously discuss bringing a licensed gaming facility to Cedar Rapids. Steve Gray, one of the early and ongoing investors who attended the meeting, said the initial idea was to build the casino a few blocks away on the other side of I-380. But as time passed and Cooper’s Mill was demolished, investors turned their focus to the northwest site where the discussion had begun. “I don’t know if it’s irony or coincidence, but the casino sits in the same place (now) that we had our first real formal meeting about kicking off this project,” Gray said from a suede-back chair in the casino’s high stakes room. “Seeing it now, I get a little choked up.” Fifteen years later, that vision has come to fruition through the construction of the $275 million Cedar Crossing Casino & Entertainment Center at 777 Fourth St. NW. It opens to the

‘Jane Elliott Against The World’ Is A Lesson In Unlearning Prejudice / DOC NYC

The 17th edition of DOC NYC includes in its line-up an extraordinary cinematic account that defies racism. Jane Elliott Against The World, directed by Judd Ehrlich, retraces how in the morning following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, Jane Elliott, then a third-grade teacher in the small town of Riceville, Iowa, devised an exercise that would change the course of her life. Facing an all-white classroom, she divided her pupils according to eye colour, treating one group as superior and the other as inferior. By creating a miniature version of a discriminatory society within the classroom, she wanted her students to experience first-hand the mechanisms and emotional consequences of racism. What began as an unconventional teaching exercise soon became one of the most influential and controversial educational experiments in modern American history, turning an unknown schoolteacher into a national figure and a lifelong activist. Nearly sixty years later, at the age of 92, Jane Elliott remains as outspoken, uncompromising and combative as ever.
