The cast included Broadway greats Stockard Channing, Judith Light, Stacy Keach, and Rachel Griffiths. Reviewers called “Other Desert Cities” smart and entertaining. “This domestic dustup has balance

McLain donates equipment, used metal to Nevada FFA
Nevada High School agriculture education students and FFA members traveled to the Frank McLain farm east of Nevada on Wednesday, Feb. 23, to help with cleaning out some sheds of used metal and equipment. Kevin Cooper, Nevada FFA advisor, took a trailer to the McLain farm on Saturday, Feb. 20, for loading
and hauling out the metal and steel. The Nevada FFA trailer was also needed on Feb. 23 for additional recycled metal and a MDS rock bucket with John Deere quick-attach brackets. McLain presented the students and Nevada FFA with a check for $350. Cooper headed to Bell’s Salvage with a load of
recycled metal on Feb. 24 and that load paid $47.74 in copper and steel. The MDS rock bucket was separated and serviced in the high school agriculture mechanics lab. Cooper found a buyer in eastern Iowa by late Friday afternoon Feb. 25 using internet resources. Ag mechanics students straightened several of
the rock bucket tines, and removed a bent reinforcement piece that was not OEM. On Monday, Feb. 28, the Alburnett-area farmers arrived with a check for $300 to purchase the rock bucket, and they were
pleased with the purchase. Cooper loaded the MDS rock bucket with the FFA John Deere 480 all-terrrain forklift in a matter of minutes. The final load of recycled metal brought around $19. “Well, within six days,
total revenue was $716, not bad,” Cooper said. On March 1 more than 65 Nevada agriculture education students and FFA members wrote and signed a thank you and mailed it to Frank, and to Eldon and Duane Pfab.
