Dance team volunteers ISU squad helps out special needs youth

By Katie.Emerick @iowastatedaily.com The ISU Dance Team rushed at the chance to volunteer with a program that gives special needs children the opportunity to dance.

On Sunday, the dance team

worked with Dance Without Limits, a program through ballet company Ballet Des Moines that was created

by Monika Peltz, a Des Moines dance teacher, and Ann Ungs, a pediatric physical therapist.

“We started about three years ago with the premise of starting a little ballet class that was not physical therapy, but was actually fun and a chance for every kid to dance if they wanted to, because I think everybody

should dance,” Peltz said.

The idea of the program was not only to help out these kids and make them feel the happiness that comes along with dancing but also to give other dancers the opportunity to volunteer and to help others through dance.

“We wanted dancers that are in Ballet Des Moines or student dancers from anywhere in the community to have a chance to volunteer as a part-

Activists try to alter HIV laws

Iowa has harsh rules against transmission

By Zoe.Woods @iowastatedaily.com The Boys & Girls Club of Story County celebrated its 50th anniversary this weekend.

The Ames Boys Club was established in August 1963. By 1991, the club had officially changed its name to the Boys & Girls Club of Ames, and in 2003, it changed to the Boys & Girls Club of Story County.

Their website, www. bgcstorycounty.com, reaffirms core promises that the organization upholds.

One local promise states, “to provide a safe environment and have a positive impact on their [the chil-

ner with the students of this class, because we try to give every student a one-on-one,” Peltz said.

“There’s definitely a two-fold benefit there; not just for the students, but also for the volunteers to learn about teaching and giving,” For 20 years, Peltz has taught dance to kids in the Des Moines area, and one of her old students is now a

Current laws on HIV transmission are at state legislature, and lawmakers and the Community HIV/ Hepatitis Advocates of Iowa Network are working to get them changed or repealed.

HIV transmission currently falls under two laws: the communicable diseases law and its own criminal HIV law.

“In a nutshell what it states is that a person with HIV does not have to tell anybody but a sexual partner,” said Tresa Brown, case manager for Mid-Iowa Community Action, a nonprofit community action agency.

that person has had more than one sexual partner is at risk,” Brown said. “You are not putting yourself at risk for just HIV. I have clients with HIV, syphilis, hepatitis and herpes.

There are tons of things somebody can get.”

HIV can sit dormant for three to six months and is transmitted through blood, semen, vaginal secretions and breast milk. Brown advises people to continue to get tested if they believe they are at risk.

Meyer said the “best prevention: condoms, condoms, condoms,” if you are sexually active.

them you are HIV positive, they go to the police, it’s a felony. It is up to 25 years in prison per sexual encounter.

The HIV virus does not have to be transmitted. You are also a registered sex offender for the rest of your life.”

Iowa has one of the harshest laws in the country for HIV transmission. Brown said things are looking good for those who want the law changed.

“They do have legislatures behind the bill to get it changed,” said Brown. “The person in charge of the Iowa Department of Public Health is behind getting it changed as well.”

According to the Community HIV/Hepatitis Advocates of Iowa Network, “Iowa’s HIV criminalization statue is outdated. Originally intended to reduce the spread of HIV, the statute actually hinders modern HIV prevention efforts in the state includ-

ing HIV testing.”

Iowa is considered low risk for HIV, but there are a number of new cases every year.

“There are 150 new cases every year in the state of Iowa,” Brown said.

“Across the United States, there are approximately 50,000 new cases every year.

So I could make the comparison that the city of Ames is diagnosed every year.”

Cases of HIV are seen on the ISU campus, as well.

“Our area is considered fairly low risk by IDPH,” said Dr. Scott Meyer, M.D. of Thielen Student Health Center.

“We see four to six cases per year; not all are newly diagnosed. Some come with having a history of infection for several years.”

Students may not realize how easy it is to put themselves at risk for HIV or other kinds of sexually transmitted infections.

member of the ISU Dance Team who wanted to get involved with the program.

“The dance team likes to volunteer with kids, because we can tell that the kids really appreciate it,” said Peltz’s former student Taylor Martz, senior in accounting.

“We’re always looking for ways to help out the community, and this seemed like the perfect way to do so.”

At the event, the team taught three classes, one each at 1, 2 and 3 p.m.

“I think the Dance Without Limits program is an absolutely amazing program. To give those kids the opportunity to be able to engage in activity and dance at the same time is so awesome,” said Sarah Clark, a team member of the ISU Dance Team and senior in marketing and journalism and mass communication.

The dance team plans to volunteer with the program again, according to Martz. For those who have worked with Dance Without Limits, the program has proved to be a very rewarding experience.

“I really wanted this program to be a place where we don’t turn anyone away, and it has been incredible,” Peltz said.

“We have heard more than once ‘I’m dancing,’ ‘I’m a ballerina,’ ‘I can’t believe I can do this,’” Peltz said, “and sometimes depending on the child the reaction is only with their parents or only at home, but they do something at home to show that they love it. “ For Peltz, Dance Without Limits has become so much more than just a program of dance classes.

More information ■■ Enrollment: 45 to 50 students ■■ Types of classes: movement and technique ■■ Movement classes are for students who require special one-on-one attention with a volunteer. Ages 4 to 12.

■■ Technique classes are for students who feel that they can move on their own through ballet and tap. Ages 7 to 18.

■■ Classes are offered in the fall and in the spring.

“The most rewarding thing about the program is how the Dance Without Limits community has turned into a family; not just the students, but the volunteers, the parents and the teachers,” Peltz said.

“The whole thing has become more than dance classes,” Peltz said, “it has become a really amazing, beautiful group of people that I’m really proud to be a part of.”

Peltz has become very passionate about the program and it’s meaning.

“You dream of a student that maybe has never felt what it feels like to dance, and now they are able to because of this program,” Peltz said.

For more information on how to get involved with the program, please contact Dance Without Limits’ volunteer coordinator, Stephenie Tiedens, at stephenie.tiedens@ gmail.com.

Global

Iowa must move past partisanship Not long after a member of the Iowa Board of Regents drew ire for trying to put a professor at the University of Iowa in touch with a leading member of the renewable fuels industry, the Regents are once again the subject of important news.

At the end of last week Gov. Terry Branstad, R-Iowa, nominated three individuals to terms on the board that will begin May 1 and will last for six years. The first nominee, Craig Lang, currently serves as the president of the board. The two other nominees, Robert Cramer of Grimes and Subhash Sahai of Webster City, will replace Jack Evans of Cedar Rapids and David Miles of Dallas Center, if the Iowa Senate confirms them by a two-thirds vote.

The report of that news in the Des Moines Register was quick to note that Cramer and Sahai, a Republican and a Democrat, respectively, replace Evans and Miles, a Republican and a Democrat, respectively.

After describing Cramer’s and Sahai’s backgrounds, the Register’s article concluded with a summary of the nominees’ donations to political campaigns in the past few years.

That analysis is important. The Board is composed of nine members, and only five of them can hail from the same political party. In recent years, the Regents have received increasing scrutiny due to perceived conflict of interest and partisan gamesmanship.

As we explained in a recent editorial, such controversies have included Branstad’s request that now-outgoing board members David Miles and Jack Evans resign from their positions as president and president pro tempore of the board, a land-development project in Tanzania, and Sen. Tom Harkin’s decision not to give Iowa State’s Harkin Institute his papers.

But giving so much attention to partisanship on a state board whose purpose is the guidance of Iowa’s system of public higher education — particularly when the accused board members are trying to move on and when the professors involved in the controversies do not believe that academic freedom is at risk — prevents Iowans from moving on. Although journalists have an obligation to deliver the news and anticipate follow-up questions, they also have an obligation to not alter reality by focusing their reports on some issues instead of others.

The Register’s follow-up story concentrated on an impending confirmation battle to take place between Democrats and Republicans in the Iowa Senate that will center on the political activities of Cramer and Lang, the Republicans among Branstad’s nominees. Interestingly enough, 49.5 percent of that story’s text dealt with possible challenges to Lang’s confirmation, 31.6 percent with Cramer’s confirmation and Sahai’s prospects received a scant 12.5 percent.

Where should we look for an analysis of what these men envision for Iowa’s Regents universities and schools and what current administrators think of those ideas?

Whether Branstad’s nominees are interested in ensuring that Iowa provides access to high-quality, higher education is more important than their political activities. Regardless of their past mistakes and present political inclinations, Iowans need to hear how Lang, Cramer and Sahai will be partisans of education.

U.S. needs to compete in order to succeed Citizens should adopt more driven mind-set

N

o matter what people think of current representatives of our nation, U.S. patriotism is and has always been high. Occasional disgust in policy or politicians cannot expunge the undercurrent of pride that we Americans have traditionally held in our great and powerful nation.

From the early days of pioneering and Manifest Destiny, we have considered ourselves an unstoppable force, driven by ideals of freedom and equality (although those were not necessarily carried out). Values held in that era such as hard work, individualism and competition helped create the strong, innovative nation that is the United States.

Though this assumption of America’s supposed invulnerability might have been fitting in the country’s earlier days, it is now weighing us down heavily. Blind pride will not serve when we sit in a world where other nations not only match but surpass the United States in many arenas. Though at one point we may have sat comfortably ahead of industrial competition, this is not the case anymore.

An article on ForeignPolicy.com examines the faulty idea that we, as Americans, have a special innovative and industrial power that others do not. We think American inventors like Alexander Graham Bell, Thomas Edison and Philo Farnsworth have changed the world, but in truth they and many others borrowed and adapted foreign ideas and inventions. We have to stop thinking that Americans have an innate superiority; as the article states, “We have no special ‘gene.’”

Evidence of this is popping up everywhere in modern times. The United States is slowly falling behind in numerous ways. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development predicts that in the next 50 years, the United States will fall behind both China and India as an economic force. This can perhaps be attributed to the sheer population size of those two countries. However, the United States has already lost more than power-giant bragging rights.

In late 2012, the United States ranked 17th in global rankings of education quality, according to a report

by International Business Times.

While you could argue that 17th is

By Hailey.Gross @iowastatedaily.com not a terrible ranking, it is pretty dismal considering how advanced or inexorable we as a nation consider ourselves. Most of the countries that we fell behind were, unsurprisingly, European or Asian.

President Barack Obama addressed this issue in his 2013 State of the Union Address, though his argument seems more focused on middleclass growth rather than international competition. Whether or not you agree with the president’s method of addressing these problems, it cannot be denied that a flagging education will result in a weakened nation.

The reason that intellectual competition is so important is because of the growth of a global, outsourcing economy. We can no longer consider ourselves contained by our borders; the job market now stretches across oceans and political lines.

Competition for a position you want is no longer restricted to your city or state. Many people find themselves vying for jobs against cheaper foreign resources.

This trend is only going to continue with the constant growth of international communication and technological innovation. Many people struggle with this global job market already; think how much more difficult it might be for the generations to come. If we make appropriate changes to education, from preschool to post-secondary education, and to national attitude, we can shift the odds in favor of the next age bracket.

A traditional value of the American ideal is that hard work can get anyone to success: the classic rags to riches story. However, in recent times an oblivious belief in America’s superiority has bloomed. Why has this mentality taken root? Put simply: Complacency is easy. A more competitive and driven mindset might be uncomfortable, but it is necessary.

Like any nation, we have had our faults and made plenty of mistakes.

However, we need to be careful that our patriotism is composed of pride, not ignorance. Returning to the top will take a lot of work; as in anything, the first step towards a solution is recognizing that there is a problem.

Personality

Introversion should be embraced W hat does it mean to be an introvert? Most people would give a basic definition of something along the lines of being absurdly shy, timid, nervous and other similar words that basically mean the person is scared to death of their own shadow in social situations.

But shyness and introversion are not the same, and there are many other misconceptions about introverts that can give them a negative connotation. After thinking about various situations I’ve experienced over the years, I thought I’d discuss a few of my own opinions on them.

“Introverts are just shy.” While they can overlap in some people, these terms have similar yet different meanings. Shyness is a type of behavior where a person is afraid or nervous about being in social situations, while being an introvert is essentially having little or no desire to participate in social environments (usually).

“Introverts hate social interaction.” Not true; we enjoy meeting new people and hanging out like anyone else, just maybe not to the same extent. A key difference is how we socialize compared to extroverts. Many of us generally prefer attention in more of a oneGeneral information: The Iowa State Daily is an independent student newspaper established in 1890 and written, edited, and sold by students

on-one type of situation where we feel comfortable. Also, introverts tend to need time alone every so often. It’s our way of recharging, so don’t take it personally.

“Introverts need help meeting people.” We really don’t. We meet people in our own way and in our own time. Many of us value friendship in terms of quality, not quantity, so socializing and constantly meeting a lot of random people doesn’t really matter all that much.

“Introverts hate attention.” It depends on the attention you’re giving us. For example, telling the server of a restaurant that I’m turning a year older so that he or she sings “Happy Birthday” in loud, off-key tones that make everyone look at our table and stare kind of just makes me want to die a little inside.

We generally prefer attention from a small group or single person because there is more meaning to us in that.

“Introverts don’t work well with others.” That depends on the situation. We might not like to work in groups or have a take-

charge personality, but we get our work done regardless. We just have the ability to do it independently, and often that’s preferable for our own convenience. If we can do it by ourselves, we will.

“Introverts hate to talk.”

Actually, many of us really enjoy talking, but don’t want to waste our time with someone who we think isn’t listening, or maybe we just have little desire to participate in pointless small talk if nothing interesting is being said. Also, if we’re quiet around you, that doesn’t mean we dislike you. We just don’t know you very well, and it might take some of us a bit longer to feel comfortable around new people.

“Introverts are depressed.”

Completely incorrect. If someone is pretty quiet and keeps to themselves, don’t automatically assume they are sad individuals who hate life and need to seek professional help. Fact is, anyone can become depressed, and many hide it well.

Don’t make an irrational decision simply based on how much someone talks.

“Introverts hate talking about their feelings.” Well, I actually do hate talking about how I feel.

Nevertheless, for many intro-

verts that’s not the case. We feel emotions just like anyone else and oftentimes are more in touch with them because we think more inwardly. If we actually verbalize how we feel, you should listen because we mean what we say and probably won’t repeat it.

“Introverts are not as fun.” We are extremely fun. It just might be a different kind of fun compared to what you like. Simple as that.

All of these things vary depending on the individual, and what is true for one person might not be true for another. Maybe you’re a mix of outgoing and quiet.

It’s not a bad thing to be introverted, nor is it something you should feel you need to “overcome.” Embrace your awesome qualities and ignore those who tell you otherwise. And to many of you lovely extrovert readers: if you ever get the chance to hang out with an introvert whom you don’t know very well, you should definitely do it. They are probably the most interesting people you’ll ever meet.

Athletes miss qualifying Indoor season ends for some at 2nd-chance NCAA Qualifier

RESULTS FROM ACHA NATIONALS

By Ryan.Berg @iowastatedaily.com

iowastatedaily.com/sports

The athletes on the ISU track and field team who were unable to qualify for the NCAA Championships got another chance at it but were unsuccessful in their attempts.

The NCAA Qualifier meet was hosted at the Lied Recreation Center on Saturday and hosted 30 teams, including in-state schools Iowa, Drake and Northern Iowa.

The athletes who have already qualified for the NCAA Championships did not have to compete and got an extra week of rest before the meet begins March 8 in Fayetteville, Ark. “The more I race, the more I get in shape, but sometimes when I take a break I come back really good, but we will see Friday,” said distance runner Edward Kemboi.

Since many of the top competitors were not competing in the meet, senior Laishema Hampton tried to take advantage of that. Hampton won the women’s weight throw with a mark of 66-00.25 feet, which was not enough to qualify for the NCAA Championships.

The top 16 athletes in each individual event are invited to the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships along with the top 12 relay teams.

Hampton’s best distance on the season currently sits at 18th-best in the country.

Redshirt sophomore Kayla Sanborn set a personal record in the shot put with a mark of 50-00.00 feet, which placed fifth.

Redshirt sophomore Maddy Becker placed sixth in the mile run with a time of 5:13.61.

On the men’s side of the NCAA Qualifier, sophomore Edwin Serem took first in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 8:24.07.

Freshman Jan Jeuschede threw 17.62-meters in the shot put which was the eighth best throw among the men trying to qualify.

“I am dissatisfied how it went today, but I am pleased with my results for the indoor season,” Jeuschede said. “I was happy with both of my 18-meter throws I have had so far this season, but I think I could have gone a little farther.”

The athletes who did not qualify for the NCAA Championships will get a few weeks off before the outdoor season begins.

The multi-event athletes will begin their outdoor season March 27 and 28 at the Cal Multis in Berkeley, Calif.

The rest of the team will begin their season March 29 and 30 either in Austin, Texas, for the Texas Relays or in Palo Alto, Calif., for the Stanford Invitational.

“We are going to take a little break before we start building up for outdoors again, and I feel like I need that because we have had quite a few meets lately,” Jeuschede said. “It will also be great to be outside competing and breathe fresh air.”

Swim & diving:

Swimmers and divers take fifth After a season of ups and downs, the ISU swimming and diving team was unable to pull off any last-second miracles at the Big 12 Championship meet in Austin, Texas, this past week.

The Cyclones finished with a fifth-place finish as a team out of the five schools in the competition. Texas took first and dominated the meet with a team score of 1,051, which was almost double of the next closest team, West Virginia, with 576.

Heading into the weekend, Iowa State was ahead of Kansas by 20 points, but would see the lead fade away after the Saturday events.

“Our women swam very fast and we had a lot of personalbests,” said swimming coach Duane Sorenson in a news release. “But unfortunately, the swims were not fast enough.

We had a lot of ninth-place swimmers and not enough people getting into finals, which cost us fourth place and the shot at catching up with TCU.” Both Bre Loeschke and Imelda Wistey set new school records at the meet.

Wistey broke the 100-meter breaststroke record on Friday with a time of 1:01.35, which was only good enough for third place in the event, however.

Laura Sogar of Texas won the event with a time of 58.67.

On Saturday, Loeschke set the school record in the 200-meter backstroke with a time of 1:56.90. She took second in the event behind Texas’ Sarah Denninghoff.

“Imelda setting the school record and swimming to her best, that was really special,” Sorenson said. “She has really been wanting that since she has came to Iowa State.”

Amanda Paulson also broke a school record on Thursday that she had already set in the 50-freestyle for Iowa State.

As for diving, Elyse Brouillette took the Cyclones to a fifth-place finish on platform with a score of 212.25. Also in the finals was Marley Dobyns, who took sixth with a score of 201.55.

Brouillette qualified for the NCAA Zone 5 Diving Qualifications meet in Houston on March 11-13.

“As we look back at the entire meet, I was very proud of the way we swam,” Sorenson said.

“We found out that we can compete with everybody in the Big 12. With just a little more work, we can be right up there.”

As one of the fastest rising socio-political comics in the United States, he is founding member of the stand-up comedy collective Laughter Against the Machine, and cohost of The Field Negro Guide to Arts & Culture podcast with Living Colour guitarist Vernon Reid.

This season, ISU coach Bill Fennelly has preached the mantra of “the next 40 minutes,” focusing on the task at hand in each game.

On Monday, three seniors will play their final 40 minutes under the lights at Hilton Coliseum.

“For [the coaching staff], it’s just the next 40 minutes, the next 40 minutes, the next 40 minutes,” Fennelly said.

“It just comes up now that the next 40 minutes happens to be senior night, with a lot to play for.”

Seniors Chelsea Poppens, Anna Prins and Amanda Zimmerman, along with the rest of the Cyclones (20-7, 11-6 Big 12), will play Oklahoma State on Monday night.

Poppens said she still remembers the first time she put on the cardinal and gold jersey.

“It was nerve-racking, just to say that I was going to be able to play in front of 10,000 people,” Poppens said. “It was crazy, but now I’m used to it, not as nervous.”

Poppens has had a special senior season, becoming the

THE IOWA APPROACH

ISU students bring fashionable twist to blogging

By Anna Mackin ISD Style Writer With fast fashion booming and trends changing daily, it can often be difficult keeping up to maintain your fashion forward styles.

A common resource and favorite pastime that is becoming quickly widespread are fashion blogs, which can show how you can incorporate your personal style to meet today’s trends.

Iowa State’s Cassy Dittmer and Sarah Kehm, seniors in apparel, merchandising, design and production, have created their own unique twist on a fashion blog, The Iowa Approach, which is spreading content in a new way.

Using YouTube videos, Twitter, Instagram and a blog website, they have become partners in crime to show how you can stay stylish in our fashion-deprived city.

After traveling abroad and adopting styles from designers and international influences, the Dittmer and Kehm are confident they have the point of view to make their blog succeed.

“We love how different it makes our perspective and think it ultimately puts a unique spin on a fashion blog when you are from an area this fashion deprived,” Dittmer said.

With booming views and followers, The Iowa Approach is posting daily content that showcases how fashion is part of Dittmer and

We love how different it makes our perspective and think it ultimately puts a unique spin on a fashion blog when you are from an area this fashion deprived.”

Cassy Dittmer

Kehm’s everyday lives and how you can make it part of yours.

Using daily social media outlets and their very down-to-earth and casual verbiage, they keep a friendly voice.

“We would like our readers to be inspired by us, but also want to be our friends,” Dittmer said.

“It is more of a creative outlet for us to express our own fashion sense as well as inspiration. It’s more fashion based as opposed to a lifestyle blog,” Dittmer said.

This new presentation method for blogging and the personal lifestyle connection to this small town of Ames is a great resource for how we, the student body, can represent ourselves.

Keep up with today’s latest fashion trends and be inspired by following The Iowa Approach on Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and at www.theiowaapproach.com.

RUNWAY LOOKS

New York Fashion Week sees bold makeup

Milan Fashion Week sets trends Many new trends emerged during the fall/winter 2013 fashion week in Milan last week. Models were chic in sheer layers on both top and bottom — a daring trend sure to turn heads if it makes it to Ames!

All-gold everything was also seen during fashion week, including muted matte numbers from Bottega Veneta.

From fabric, leather to embellishments, this trend glittered on many runways.

We also saw more blues than we can count this time in Milan. From dark, moody tones at Roberto Cavalli to sky blues at Missoni, many designers were feeling these cool hues.

Furs were all over fashion week, and models rocked a variety of the animal skin; from long hair to short hair, they were seen all over the runway, especially in a punk variation at Fendi.

Stripes were the hot pattern, yet again, on the runway and models strutted in both vertical and broad horizontal stripes.

Belts were a key accessory on many of the catwalks in Milan and vamped up many neutral coats and sheath dresses, adding a dash of ladylike class to Marni’s and Prada’s shows over the course of the week.

While Milan Fashion Week might be over, we’ve got one left, with the most exciting shows of Paris stepping out the first half of this week.

VINT A GE

Liquid eyeliner, blue shadows and ponytails galore — New York Fashion Week runways debuted the latest beauty trends set to be popular this fall.

Vivienne Tam models’ bold makeup broke the “pick a strong lip or a strong eye but never both” rule; models’ black liner was paired with a deep blackberry color on the lips, showcasing an edgy style.

The fall 2013 runways also proved the cat eye trend isn’t going anywhere. Rag and Bone makeup artists lined models’ sockets, instead of their upper lash lines, with a black liquid liner extending past the outer corner of the eye, adding a retro spin to the cat eye trend.

Shades of blue were spotted on the eyes of models for Kate Spade, Rebecca Minkoff and Jason Wu. Models on Spade’s runway wore pastel blue shades on their lids while Minkoff’s models’ eyes were lined with cobalt blue liner.

Wu’s makeup artists created an indigo

smoky eye on models, complementing the finale dress of the designer’s collection, which was a similar hue.

Models walking in the Monique Lhuillier show featured the black liner with a natural lip color.

Among the most popular beauty trends on the fashion week runways was the classic ponytail, which saw variation among designers like Alexander Wang, Michael Kors and Emerson.

Wang’s edgy take on the popular do featured slicked-back ponytails positioned at the napes of models’ necks. This version included straight, auburn-colored extensions.

Kors channeled a similar sleek style that sat atop the models’ heads, adding a more sporty twist.

Other designers, like Emerson, created a completely different look using the same ponytail style — with a deep side part and volume at the crown, Emerson’s models offered a sophisticated take on the well-known hairdo.

Whatever trend gains the most steam, however, it’s clear that this fall’s beauty will be bold, brash and exciting.

Prins also joined Poppens at a milestone, becoming the 24th Cyclone to reach 1,000 career points. Prins said she hasn’t thought much of her final 40 minutes under the lights at Hilton.

“I’m trying not to think about it too much, I haven’t started my [senior] speech yet,” Prins said. “It’s a weird feeling.”

Hindered by injuries her junior season, Prins said being able to play a full and complete season her senior year has been special to her.

“It’s one of the biggest things I’m thankful for this year, as [well] just being a senior and being able to play the entire the year,” Prins said.

“Besides the little aches and pains, my knee has been feeling really good.”

“Working with the kids is the rewarding part of the job; they brighten up the day. Everyday you come in you get to see why we’re doing what we’re doing.”

On Saturday, the sixth annual gala and 50th anniversary celebration kicked off with a bang. More than 110 people came to take part in the festivities. The evening began at 6:30 p.m. with a social hour and the start of the silent auction.

The event also included a dinner near the start of the silent auction and social hour.

The food was sponsored by The Cafe and Wilson Toyota.

A program that entailed a short video created by James Pusey of Cornerstone Church was played after the meal.

The video showed staff, board members, volunteers and club members who talked about their experiences with The Boys & Girls Club.

Geff Gescheidler, director of the Boys & Girls Club of Story County, spoke often throughout the night. He told of the history of the Boys & Girls Club in Ames, beginning with when it started in 1963 and how it has become what it is today. He recognized past and present board members who were in attendance and expressed gratitude for all the donors have done for the club.

A special club member, 13-year-old Levi Wiggins, shared his experiences with the audience and said of the Boys & Girls Club, “Great futures start here.”

Girls Club of Story County has made him “the man I have wanted to be,” Wiggins said.

“They have put on a nice event,” said Peter Orazem, an attendee. “Boys & Girls Club is just a great place that provides opportunities for everyone in Ames.”

The sixth annual gala and 50th anniversary celebration collected approximately $30,000, which will go directly to the Boys & Girls Club of Story County.

“Tonight was definitely more successful than past events, and it will hopefully continue to grow with more successful years to come,” Gescheidler said.
