ACS second grade makes, delivers blankets to MGMC As part of a project to look externally and help others, the second-grade class at Ames Christian School participated in a project to benefits patients at Mary Greeley Medical Center. The second-graders, along with their teacher, some additional students from other grades and volunteer parents and grandparents, made 20 fl eece tie blankets for pediatric patients. The project used
seed money received through the Thrivent Action Team program to purchase material for the blankets. Additional material donations came from parents, grandparents, and others connected with the school. On March 11, the class dedicated its morning to making the blankets, which included cutting and tying the fleece. A group of 29 students, teachers and
volunteers worked together to make the blankets, and students made cards for Mary Greeley patients to go with the blankets. Later that week, the students traveled with their teacher to Mary Greeley Medical Center to deliver the blankets. Ames Christian School would like to thank all of the volunteers who helped, and Thrivent Financial for providing funding.

New at Reiman Gardens: A spring bulb display For the first time, Reiman Gardens created a brand new spring bulb display that will be inside our tropical plant Conservatory. See it until May 18. Stroll along the path and take in hundreds of colorful, fragrant bulbs tucked among the tropical plants and set off with the restful waterfall and pool. Some of the highlights include Rococo, Tabledance and Princess Irene tulips, the incredible fragrance of hyacinths, including Blue Star and Splendid Cornelia, and
White Lion and Delnashaugh daffodils. One of the fun and unique features of this bulb show will be that not all of our bulbs will be on display at one time, so each time you visit, you’ll get to experience something totally different. Situated on a 17acre site in beautiful Ames, Reiman Gardens offers a yearround destination featuring distinct gardens that are always changing, adapting, and evolving with the seasons.
Explore a large variety of plants, aromatic herbs and beautiful roses, towering palm trees, native prairie species, and so much more.

and urinary systems from various animal species that were donated by the Story City Locker. According to Brad Taylor, agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor, “This lab was very much handson and brought to the forefront what we have

R-S food science students immerse in triangle testing The Roland-Story food science class members were recently exposed to a concept within the industry known as “triangle testing.” The triangle test, which also known as “difference testing,” is a sensory evalua-
tion practicum. It is appropriately called a “triangle” test because it uses three products to exemplify a difference in a food product. It also uses four main senses to identify the main difference: sight, taste,
smell and touch. This practice is useful in the industry because it can help identify the sizeable difference between a traditional product and a new product that has different qualities.

Cyclone Energy 2019 ELECTRI International Green Energy Challenge Cyclone Energy has won the championship at the ELECTRI International Green Energy Challenge in each of the last five years and is going for six in 2019. NECA (National Electrical Contractors Association) sponsors the competition and invites university NECA chapters to research and write a proposal about energy efficient installations and netzero energy options for a community facility. The team is sponsored by the Iowa Chapter of NECA. The team is working with Heartland Senior Services and its facility in Ames. The center provides life-enriching opportunities for older adults during the day, including exercise classes, art activities, meals, music groups and dances. It also offers support with the Day Center for seniors requiring more care such as those with dementia. Cyclone Energy is bigger than ever this
year with 10 members on the team, including both construction engineering and civil engineering majors, all led by Beth Hartmann. Previous team members are responsible for teaching new members winning strategies and building the foundation for future teams. By working with local NECA contractors to develop the proposal, the team also gains valuable experience and connections for the future. Another part of the Green Energy Challenge includes volunteering and creating an energy awareness campaign for Heartland Senior Services. Cyclone Energy decided to conduct a “lunch and learn” series to educate the senior community about improving energy efficiency in their homes. The center has also requested creation of shelving units and other small maintenance projects for the team to assist with.
