St. Cecilia School Advent Project donates to MICA food pantry St. Cecilia School completed an Advent service project in December to help restock MICA’s food pantry shelves. School families were invited to send non-perishable foods, toiletry items or monetary donations to school with their children during the week of Dec. 10 to 14. Donations were then gathered and loaded into vehicles and delivered to MICA to help meet the needs of those served by the food pantry. The MICA Food Pantry serves 350 to 400 families each month. MICA will gladly accept any non-perishable food (that is not expired), but was especially seeking donations of canned soups, canned fruits, ramen noodles, soap and toilet paper as these items were extremely low or out of stock at that time. The Advent service project allowed students and families the opportunity to share with others in need, and to reect on how they could serve the community through acts of care while preparing their hearts for Christmas.
At the conclusion of the Advent service project, St. Cecilia School students helped load donated items to be taken to the MICA Food Pantry. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO

St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church practices its Madrigal Dinner, “St. Andrew’s Hath Talent!” CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
STORY COUNTY SUN CALL 233-3299 TO ADVERTISE
St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church announces its 11th-annual Madrigal Dinner St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church announces its 11th Annual Madrigal Dinner, “St. Andrew’s Hath Talent!” The Madrigal dinners, on Saturday, Jan. 19 and Sunday, Jan. 20, are at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, 209 Colorado, Ames. Guests may arrive as early as 5 p.m. and enjoy music by the Joyfulle Noyse Consort; seating is at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are $25, and reservations are required and are available by emailing youthcoordinator@ standrewsames.org or by contacting any of the participants. Guests are invited
to enjoy a delicious four-course meal with the royal court, amid a show of laughter, joyful melodies, elegant dancing and hilarious comedy. You may judge whether St. Andrew’s hath talent, but we promise that you will be most royally entertained. This annual event began fairly simply as a fun night for church families, with castle walls of painted cardboard, and the expectation that it would only be held once. Instead, it has grown to be a much-loved and anticipated event of the year, open to the community both as participants and guests. Congregation members all “know the drill,” participants from outside the church begin asking in the fall when rehearsals will start, and youth who were fi ve years old at the fi rst performance are now a critical part of the planning team. These young people are headed to Tanzania this summer for what will surely be a life-changing experience; madrigal dinner is a major fundraising event for them. Our lovely queen is royally played by Carol Putz, who says, “I love that we include such a wide variety of people, several generations. It really lends a sense
of family to the whole production.” She also says that audience participation makes the best shows. “They make us think on our feet, and it really ends up being a fun show for everyone,” she said. Steve Hoifeldt, who prepares the court singers and performs as our choirmaster, says, “It’s fun to have the opportunity to do music that is not just worship music. A lot of madrigal dinners are put on by a high school or university group, but this one is made up of people of all ages – more mature choral singers — who may or may not have had the chance to be part of a madrigal dinner.” The costume room in Colorado Junction holds racks and racks of beautiful clothes; court singers have their own well-worn notebooks full of music with new pieces added year by year and youth group members have acted, sung, danced and served every year. Each performance is unique and surprising - sometimes the players themselves are the most surprised. Preparations are underway and the cast looks forward to performing for you. Seating is limited, please make your reservations soon.

Nevada FFA-harvested sweet potatoes were utilized in the Nevada School lunch program with no cost to the school. Nevada agriculture education and FFA chapter collaborates with Swanson Farms in the production and harvesting of the sweet potatoes. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Nevada FFA harvests sweet potatoes for school lunch program Challenging is the only way to describe the Nevada Ag Ed and FFA sweet potato harvest this past fall. The Nevada High School agriculture education program and FFA collaborated with Swanson Farms north of Nevada to grow and harvest sweet potatoes for the school lunch program. The Nevada FFA purchased a sweet potato flip plow in 2017 with a $5,000 grant from Co-Bank. This year, the harvesting plow was mounted on a new John Deere 6175 tractor provided by Van
Wall Equipment Nevada store. Students mounted the plow at the high school agriculture mechanics lab and then, Nevada FFA and ag ed instructor Kevin Cooper drove the tractor and plow to the Dale Swanson farm for harvesting. The excessive precipitation made for a very difficult harvest environment. More than 500 pounds of sweet potatoes were harvested and delivered to the Nevada School district lunch program. School cooks prepared the orange and purple sweet potatoes
in a variety of meals that students could enjoy. Sweet potatoes are very healthy for consumption due to having a lower glycemic index, and high in beta-carotene, which is a precursor for vitamin A. Sweet potatoes are also rich in complex carbohydrates, as well as dietary fiber, which support a healthy digestive system. They are also high in vitamin C, B-vitamins, and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, selenium, phosphorus and zinc.

Nevada High School ag student Benton Shill helps set the crankshaft into the Deere diesel engine block. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO Nevada High School ag students Marcus Nelsen and Keith Brown set the cylinder head on the Deere diesel engine.
Nevada High School agriculture mechanics students have been logging in extra hours rebuilding a John Deere diesel engine. Skills learned by the students include using a dial indicator to measure cylinder liner protrusion, setting torque specifications for fasteners, measuring bearing tolerances, installation of cylinder liners with oil and coolant control seals, installation of crankshaft wear sleeve with seal, using special tools, setting intake and
exhaust valves, camshaft to crankshaft timing marks, clutch pressure plate disassembly and reassembly with adjustment and injection pump timing. The engine is going back into a John Deere 3010 tractor that belongs to Ted Lambi. The tractor and engine parts arrived to the Nevada High School ag mechanics lab entirely disassembled in late spring 2018. The project has been challenging but very educational.
Dave Hobbs, retired mechanic, has been assisting with his technical expertise. Mr. Kevin Cooper, Nevada High School agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor, has also instructed and supervised all phases of assembly. A heavy duty OTC diesel rotating engine stand was provided by the Nevada Van Wall Equipment store. Students fabricated an attachment plate for the engine to mount within the engine stand.
