ISU Theatre will open “The Children’s Hour” the first weekend in November.

The play, scripted by distinguished writer Lillian Hellman, was one of her greatest successes.

“The Children’s Hour” is a serious and adult play about two women who run a school for girls. After a troubled youngster starts a rumor about the two women, the lie soon turns to scandal.

As the young girl comes to understand the power she wields, she sticks by her story, which precipitates tragedy. “’The Children’s Hour’ is a resounding warning to our contemporary world about how ‘alternative facts’

can destroy lives, people, relationships, and institutions,” said Brad Dell, associate professor of theatre and the production’s director.

“Ultimately, though, this play is also a plea for radical empathy, asking why can’t we allow ourselves to understand and share in one another’s feelings? Why must we be so quick to judge, label, and shun?”

In addition to a cast comprised of ISU students, the scenic and costume elements will also be designed by ISU students Merideth Raine and Allison Kirstukas respectively.

Dramaturgy is by ISU student Olivia Griffi th and ISU alumnus Amanda Mayfield, of Theatre Cedar Rapids,

is responsible for lighting design.

“The Children’s Hour” opens on Friday, Nov. 3 with additional performance on Nov. 4, 10, and 11 at 7:30 p.m. and Nov. 5 and 12 at 2 p.m. on the Fisher Theater stage in Ames.

Ticket are $18 for adults, $16 for seniors and $11 for students and can be purchased through any TicketMaster or online, at the Iowa State Center Ticket Office in the ground floor of Stephens Auditorium in Ames noon to 6 p.m.

Monday-Friday, or at the door before performances.

The Nevada High School FFA Chapter was presented with a Landus $750 Core Grant on Monday, Oct. 23.

Alyssa Hemesath, communications specialist, represented Landus Cooperative with the check presentation.

Kevin Cooper, Nevada High School agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor, received an invitation from Landus in September regarding the grant

opportunity.

“I always can make time for a grant application,” Cooper said.

The grant application specifi cally mentioned the need for purchasing an online record keeping platform for the students’ Supervised Agriculture Experience programs.

AET, or Agriculture Experience Tracker, offers an online, real time accounting package for entrepreneurship, placement, agriculture science research, exploratory,

and learning to serve SAE programs.

The record system also allows easy transfer of data to proficiency applications, and degree programs in the FFA organization.

After the check presentation, Hemesath engaged the students in substantive conversation of what cooperatives are, and the career opportunities available.

The students enjoyed meeting with Hemesath and the information provided.

ST. CECILIA SCHOOL

Faculty, staff take time for spiritual renewal before the school year One week before the start of the school year, the certified faculty and administrative staff of St. Cecilia School traveled to the St. Benedict Center in Schuyler, Neb., for a three-day spiritual retreat.

Principal Ervin Rowlands laid down one rule: no discussion of academics. The purpose of this retreat was to nurture the faculty and staff.

“We were looking for a way for staff to be enriched in their own faith lives. They can then share that faith with their students,” Rowlands said.

John Kinley, former Gilbert superintendent, and former co-principal of St. Cecilia School, led the retreat.

He spoke of how his faith journey infl uenced his work.

After each 90-minute presentation, the retreatants sought out two hours of solitude for prayer and reflection.

In the evenings, the teachers were able to just enjoy their time together.

Each received a packet containing letters, cards and little

gifts from students, parents and alumni who were praying for them during their retreat.

While each retreatant had their own personal journey, Rowlands has observed some noticeable outcomes in general.

“Several staff members said it was their favorite event of their summer,” he said. “I see them opening a little more, with each other and with their students.

Rowlands continues to look forward to seeing the fruits of the retreat as the school year progresses.

“If I had one word of advice … it would be take the time to go on a two- or threeday retreat every few years,” Rowlands said.

“Couples retreat, individual … even if it seems impossible to spend that much time away from work or family life, it is so very worth the so-called expense of time.”

Nevada FFA awarded $5,000 grant from CoBank Nevada FFA was presented with a $5,000 check from CoBank through the director corporate giving program.

Nevada High School agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor Kevin Cooper applied for the grant in November 2016 to purchase a Strickland sweet potato harvesting plow.

For several years, Nevada FFA has collaborated with Andy Swanson, of Swanson Farms, in starting and producing sweet potato production and harvesting.

One of the challenges was getting the sweet potatoes harvested efficiently.

Swanson had used traditional potato plows, and variations of that, but the plant vines would hang up, and depth control was uneven.

“You know, in sweet potato country, they

make a harvesting plow,” Swanson mentioned to Cooper in the fall of 2016.

Sara Claussen, KEY Cooperative director of communications, suggested to Cooper that Nevada FFA apply for a CoBank director’s corporate giving program grant.

Jim Magnuson, general manager,(now retired), for KEY Cooperative, was on the CoBank board of directors.

“We have always had a good relationship with Jim Magnuson and KEY Cooperative” Cooper said.

On Sept. 11, confirmation of the $5,000 grant was communicated, and the check arrived on Sept. 28.

The plow order was placed and it arrived at Nevada High School on Thursday, Oct. 12.

On Monday, Oct. 16, Swanson Farms provided a John

Deere 6155R diesel tractor to mount the plow on. By Wednesday, the plow was on the tractor, and Cooper drove it to the fi eld and tried a couple of rows.

On Thursday, Oct. 19, Cooper and three students harvested and plowed until dark.

A bountiful harvest occurred on Friday, Oct. 20 when two classes of students witnessed the plow in action, and gathered sweet potatoes.

A check presentation also took part on Friday, Oct. 20, with Boyd Brodie, KEY Cooperative general manager, and Sara Claussen present.

The sweet potatoes have been and will be used in the Nevada School lunch program at no cost.

Community foodbanks and the annual FFA Winter Dinner will also utilize the sweet potatoes.
