Smithy talks crickets with Town and Country Kiwanis Shelby Smithy, owner of Gym-N-Eat Crickets recently visited the Ames Town and Country Kiwanis Club describing her life journey from Iowa farm girl to cricket farmer near Ames. Her story follows: Shelby grew up on a farm northeast of Ames, played basketball at St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia and in Ireland with Sport Changes Life, earned a master’s degree at Trinity College in Dublin, and worked for three years
at National Bank of Canada in Ireland. Having returned to the home farm, she became bored and, being stimulated by her father, looked via podcasts for an enterprise to develop. Having come up with cricket farming, she now markets a variety of flavored roasted crickets, cricket fl our and cricket protein bars. Crickets live for about 12 weeks, reaching adulthood in about eight weeks. Did you know you can
estimate room temperature from the tone of the chirping developed by the wings? Dry matter of crickets is about 60 percent protein. Of course, other life-supporting nutrients are in the bodies of crickets. Cricket poop even has fertilizer value. For more information, contact Shelby at (515) 686-1505 or at gymneatcrickets@ gmail.com. Her website is at www.gymneatcrickets. com.

ACTORS holding auditions for ‘The 39 Steps’ The Ames Community Theater (ACTORS) will hold auditions for “The 39 Steps” at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 3, and Monday, Feb. 4 at the ACTORS Studio, 120 Abraham Drive. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. There is a script available at the information desk at Ames Public Library. “The 39 Steps” is a comedy based on the Alfred Hitchcock suspense-mystery fi lm from 1935. However, the play is very different from the old movie. The stage production uses pantomime, fast scene changes and two actors that play up to 75 characters to tell the story. It all combines to make a fast-paced show that is fun for the actors and even more fun for the audience. Director Stan Rabe and producers Jane Kennedy-Funk and Jenn Peter are casting four actors.
The character of Richard Hannay can be played by a man of any age. The roles of Annabell Schmidt, Pamela and Margaret are played by the same woman. There are two roles called Clowns. These are not the Bozo character that might come to mind. Instead, they are
two versatile actors that can pantomime the action, can change characters, can change clothes very quickly and have great comedic timing. The Clowns are typically played by men, but that is not a requirement. A variety of accents is a plus. The auditions will include reading from
the script and some pantomime exercises. Auditions are open to anyone, and everyone is encouraged to attend and participate. Rehearsals will
be Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursdays. Rehearsals will be planned to accommodate the confl icts of the actors whenever possible.
Performances start on Thursday, April 4, and run for two weeks. Go to ACTORSINC. org for more information about the auditions.

Roland-Story food science develops fruit drink Students within the Roland-Story High School food science class recently were involved in an introductory activity in which they developed a new “fruit drink.” The purpose of the activity was to introduce the students in the class to what a food scientist does in regards to product development, to learn how to create a nutrition label and fi nally to evaluate a product. According to Stephany Cruz, who is a senior in the class, “While doing this activity, it got me thinking of how much detail is put into making different types of foods or drinks. “I never really thought about it until Mr. Taylor explained to us how food scientists work. I think that by us doing the activity and actually being able to test out the product really helped me see what being a food scientist would be like. The activity was super helpful and really fun!” Brad Taylor, food science teacher said, ‘The fruit drink utilized 10 different fruits in which each of the students participated in creating by helping to pro-

Nevada animal science students learn to suture Nevada High School animal science students studied animal surgery, including using different needles, patterns and thread types.
Most students found the needle holders to be useful to help guide the needles through the simulated surgical wound
or laceration. Bananas were used in the lab for the students to practice on. Students were im-
pressed with the thickness and size of some of the needles that are used on cattle. Rick Cooper, DVM, of
Town & Country Veterinary Clinic in Tama, donated the needles, needle holders and samples of suturing threads.
