Gardens’ Lyon discusses projects with Town and Country Kiwanis Ed Lyon, director of ISU Reiman Gardens, described and pictured ongoing and planned projects at the Gardens for the members and guests of the Town and Country Kiwanis Club.

Some of these projects are: Stadium and gardens, with the athletic council; Hillside Garden, with ISU students. Others include Nature Connects; Nature Game; Scavenger Hunt; and several new sculptures including the repair of the Children’s Garden.

The use of quartzite in the owers and shrub areas lessen the use of grass and provide for vigorous plant growth. Process to limit the extensive need for water are being developed.

All these projects provide a very different garden than the original master plan.

See www.reinmangardens.com for more information on these projects as well as how to donate funds and volunteer to assist in their development.

Good Company presents spring concert ‘A Woman’s Place’ Ames-based women’s choral ensemble Good Company will present its annual spring concert at 7 p.m. on Sunday, May 5, St. Andrews Church in Ames. Tickets are $12 in advance from Good Company members or $15 at the door.

This year’s spring concert celebrates “A Woman’s Place,” reflecting the many places in which women have influenced choral music – not only as

singers, but as composers, lyricists and poets. Through music spanning several centuries and styles, the group will perform everything from sacred works by 16th century composer Gregor Aichinger to “Warrior,” a piece written in 2012

by Canadian folk trio The Wyrd Sisters.

Now in its 26th season, Good Company is directed Steven Hoifeldt.

“This spring, it seemed appropriate to

explore the theme of women – works written by women, from a woman’s perspective, and for women’s voices,” Hoifeldt said.

“The musical themes range from serious to tongue-in-cheek. As always, our goal is to learn and have fun as a women’s singing group, and to to present quality music with wide appeal for our audience.”

Several works feature lyrics or poems by women. “Canticle

to the Spirit” and “I am the One” use texts

by Hildegard von Bingen, an 11th century German Benedictine abbess, philosopher and writer.

Two pieces performed from “Songs for Women’s Voices” are based on poems

by May Swenson, and 3 Nightsongs, a commissioned work composed by Joshua Shank in 2005, features poems by Hilda Conkling, a childpoet prodigy who com-

posed all of her work between ages 4 and 14 in the early 20th century.

Works by women composers Nancy Hill Cobb, Eleanor Daley, Mitzi Scott and Gwyneth Walker will be featured.

Good Company is made up of skilled singers, many of whom sang in high school and college choirs and some who have performed, taught or directed music professionally.

The group’s goal is to bring together women with a shared love of choral music and provide uplifting choral programs for the Ames community.

Story City Carousel building renovation fundraising underway Fundraising for the Story City Antique Carousel building renovation project took a sizeable step forward recently when the J.A. Wedum Foundation, of Minneapolis, awarded the project a check for $7,500.

The foundation has a long history of dedicating substantial portions of its resources and energy to charitable causes under its charter. Mr. J.A. Wedum emigrated to Alexandria,

Minn., from Lillehammer, Norway. in the late 1880s and continued to have strong ties to the family in Norway throughout his lifetime.

His grandson continues to lead the foundation’s efforts.

“We appreciate their support of our project and thank them. This is our largest donation to date, ” said Greater Chamber Connection Director Jay Wilson.

The $65,000 project will include new

siding, new soffit and soffi t lighting, updated wiring, an additional set of doors and an updated door design. Construction is scheduled to begin in fall of 2019.

“The campaign to raise the remaining funds needed is underway,” said carousel board member Karen Hermanson.

“Sixty percent of the needed funds have been raised since the project was announced in November of 2018. Donations have been received ranging from $5 and up and all are appreciated.

“Now, we are depending on donations from businesses, individuals, and organizations to get us across the finish line.”

events are being planned as a part of the campaign. An adult event will be on Saturday, May 20. The Scandinavian Days pancake breakfast on Sunday, June 9, will be hosted by the carousel building project as a fundraiser.

Volunteers are needed for both events. Any organization or business who would like to partner

with the campaign in a promotion or create an event should contact the GCC offi ce.

Donations to the project are encouraged. Please call or email the GCC offi ce at info@storycitygcc. com or (515) 7334214 to request a donation/information form.

They may also be mailed or dropped off to the Story City

Greater Chamber Connection office, 524 Broad St., P.O. Box 39, Story City, IA 50248.

The carousel has been owned by GCC since 1938 and is a 501(c)3 organization.

Donations are tax deductible as tax laws allow.

Checks should be made out to Story City Antique Carousel Building Project.

R-S food science students learn about collaboration Food science students at Roland-Story High school have been studying about nutrients and digestion in their latest unit of study. As part of one lesson of the unit, the students did an

exercise in collaboration as they developed nutritional labels and principle display panels over food items they have invented.

“The emphasis of this assignment was to use oral and vi-

sual communication skills while developing nutritional labels with a partner. Our goal is to get students to collaborate, while using problem-solving and decision-making skills.”

Roland-Story veterinary science students have been engaged this month in the study of cellular biology and most recently respiration and circulation.

In their latest lesson, they have explored the effects of respiration and heart rate under various conditions. Conducting these studies on animals is challenging, so students used themselves to test res-

piration and heart rate since domestic animal systems are similar to their own. They where than able to make inferences about animal systems as well as human systems.

According to Brad Taylor, Veterinary science instructor, “the various lessons provided each student the unique opportunity to “identify and explain the function of the parts of the respiratory and circulatory

systems of various animals. One of our upcoming activities will involve the dissection of fetal pigs from which we will be able to study internal anatomy. Another of our activities was entitled “Raise the Beat”, in which the students were working on the understanding of blood pressure and animal respiratory rates and how they impact the circulatory system.”

Roland-Story vet science R-S food science students students study respiration sponsor chili cook-off Roland-Story veterinary science students have been studying the circulatory system in their latest unit of study.

One of the objectives was to learn about the topic of external respiration.

In their lab the stu-

dents learned external respiration is how your body rids itself of the CO2 produced in cells and acquires more oxygen to fuel the cells.

This exchange of gases occurs through the process of diffusion in your lungs

where the alveoli and capillaries meet.

According to Brad Taylor, agriculture dducation instructor, “This was a lab activity in which the students used a series of scientific processes to collect and analyze data.”

Students in the Roland-Story food science class and FFA organization sponsored a “chili cook-off” as part of the “March Madness” day at the high school prior to the start of spring break.

This is the second year in which this has been done and allows the students the opportunity to practice their skills in “food product development.”

For March Madness, all high school seminars were invited to have students create their own chili and submit it to the food science class for judging.

GNB Bank then partnered with the food science class/Roland-Story FFA to sponsor a pizza party for the winning seminar chili, which this year was won by Mrs. Ferrell’s seminar.
