Community Academy’s 2019 Summer Experience During the month of June, about 50 students ages 4 to 16 spent three weeks at Brookside Park with The Community Academy’s 2019 Summer Experience to explore its ecology, learn about its history and work on projects to increase its value in this ecosystem and in our
community. During those three weeks, Food at First helped to provide meals by donating food for lunches. As a way to give back and thank Food at First for its incredibly important role in the Ames community, The Community Academy students decided to gather
donations for Food at First. They went door-todoor in their neighborhoods, asked family members and even contributed some of their own money. By the end of The Summer Experience, students raised $1,100.65 to donate to Food at First.

Seniors prepare for 25th-annual variety show

Roland-Story FFA members compete in state contest The Roland-Story FFA Chapter recently had members compete in the State FFA Food Science CDE (Career Development Events) on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames. FFA members involved included Blake Lebeck, Reagan Schmitz, Caden
Sporleder and Brendan Taylor. The team finished 10th in the state with Reagan Schmitz placing fourth overall in the state. In the various practicum’s, Reagan finished as the overall top individual placing first in aroma ID, difference testing, food safety and
customer inquiry. The contest consisted of seven different phases, including a general knowledge test, product development and presentation, identifying aromas, food safety and sanitation, response to a customer inquiries, math usage in the food industry and triangle tests.
The cast and crew of the Senior Variety Show were hopeful that people would come to see the very first show of all senior performers on Sept. 8, 1995. Much to their surprise, there was a sell-out crowd at Ames City Auditorium for the “Celebration of Aging.” Now, the Senior Variety Show is in rehearsals for the 25th-annual event. “Celebrating Silver, Creating Gold” will take the stage at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 16, and at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 17. Originator of the show, Betty Boccella, recalls how nervous the production crew was that first year. “We thought we had a unique, entertaining show that people of all ages could really enjoy,” she said, “but we were afraid no one would come. We were shocked and thrilled at the crowd that came out that night! “If we hadn’t taken the risk, the show wouldn’t be getting ready for it’s 25th year!” There have been two performances every year since 1995 to accommodate the crowd that comes to see the show. Once again, this year’s show is under the direction of Julie Minot and Ronnie Lindeman, the successful directing duo from last year. “We are honored to be part of this very special celebration year,” Minot said. “The show includes a reflection from the first show

in ’95, but the rest will be fresh songs, dances, laughs, and more; a little something for everyone.” More than 525 different seniors have performed in the show up to this 25th year. “There is a very rich history of some great senior performers; people from all walks of life,” Boccella said. “The original purpose was to showcase older adult performers, demonstrating that seniors can live vital, enriching lives, even into their later years. “It’s been a great testament to the community in that regard, and also a very meaningful event for the performers themselves.” In recognition of the 25th anniversary, this year’s production will include a pre-show and intermission highlight video from shows through the years. “We hope the audi-
ence enjoys looking back with us, as much as we’ve enjoyed preparing the video,” Boccella said. “It brings back lots of great memories!” Tickets for the 25thannual Senior Variety Show, “Celebrating Silver, Creating Gold!” are on sale for $10 at the following locations: In Ames, Heartland Senior Services (205 S. Walnut Ave.); Mary Kay’s Flowers and Garden Café, (3134 Northwood Drive) and Worldly Goods (223 Main St.). In Nevada, tickets are available at the Ben Franklin Store (1038 Sixth St.), and in Story City at the RSVP/ Senior Center (503 Elm Ave). Tickets will also be available at the door for $12.
