Community and Family Resources host event to raise awareness about behavioral health Each year, Community & Family Resources (CFR) joins the National Recovery Month effort to raise awareness about the effect of behavioral health on overall health, the importance of prevention and the effectiveness of treatment and how people can recover from mental health and substance use disorders. In honor of Re-
covery Month, CFR is planning its sixthannual Recovery & Wellness 5K run/walk from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 15, at Ada Hayden Park in Ames. In addition to the 5K run/walk, a variety of family-friendly activities will follow the race, including free chair massages, spin art, yard games, giveaways, healthy snacks
and behavioral-health resources. Registration for the 5K run/walk is only $10 and includes a T-shirt, snacks and all activities. Everyone is invited to join this celebration of wellness and recover. Individuals and families may register for the 5K, sign up to volunteer for the event or simply come to show support and
enjoy the activities. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), nearly 1 in every 5 adults experienced a mental illness in the past year, and approximately 1 in 13 individuals ages 12+ needed treatment for a substance use disorder. Individuals and families in our com-
munity are affected by mental health and addiction disorders every single day, and this is a great opportunity to come together to demonstrate our support for those in recovery and reach out to those in need of treatment or support services. Community and Family Resources is a local nonprofit agency that offers substance
abuse, mental health and gambling treatment and prevention services. Counties served by CFR include Story, Webster, Boone, Hamilton, Wright, Humboldt, Pocahontas, Calhoun, Franklin and Hardin. For additional information, visit CFR’s website at www. cfrhelps.org or call (515) 232-3206.

Friends and staff of One Heart Equestrian Therapy met with those involved with the former Canterbrooke Stables, to reminisce about the facility’s past days as a boarding stable and anticipate the possibilities it brings to One Heart’s program. Dana McCullough (behind left pony and banner) is the original designer/builder of the facility, and Kris Lager (behind right pony and banner) is the executive director of One Heart. CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
One Heart Equestrian Therapy holds reunion with Canterbrooke builder One Heart Equestrian Therapy, Inc. recently welcomed Dana and Russ McCullough, original designer and builders of the equestrian stable at 2710 W. 190th St, Ames. One Heart is currently in the process of acquiring this property as its permanent home. Known through the surrounding area as Canterbrooke, the stable and arena was built in 2003. The McCulloughs’ move to
Kansas prompted the closure of the horse boarding and training operations and a change of ownership in 2012. Dana McCullough had not visited the property since and remarked, “I’m thrilled that she (One Heart Executive Director, Kris Lager) has it and that it’s back being a horse facility. Kris and I had talked about One Heart working here when we opened but decided it
wouldn’t work to have the two programs here together.” “Everything was built handicap-accessible, with the intention at some point (of having a therapeutic program),” McCullough said. “This is like the ultimate. It’s not so sad anymore. I’m excited to see what they can do, now that they have a (dedicated) facility.” “The location of the property was a primary consideration in mak-
ing a final decision to purchase,” Lager said. “The care and attention given to the property by the couple who agreed to sell it to us speaks to their stewardship. We appreciate that they maintained it in remarkable condition.” The potential for One Heart to grow after 17 years of programming was the major topic of conversation among the attendees. Focusing on the plan to add equine-assisted
mental health services, Anita Schlosser, Licensed Independent Social Worker and former member of the One Heart Board of Directors, said, “Your (One Heart’s) own home allows you to have … clients with mental health issues, so that you can meet with them privately and not have an audience about the therapy. That’s huge. And the veterans, there’s such a need there too.”
Schlosser, also a long-time volunteer with One Heart, indicated equine-assisted activities can be used with post-traumatic stress disorder and also stresses of re-entering the community after a long deployment.

Ames Town and Country Kiwanis Club at 2018 Farm Progress Show A major contribution from Dean and Adele Bowden, of Webster City, has kicked off construction for a new outdoor pool at Clover Woods Camp and Retreat Center, near Madrid. Construction on the new pool will begin in early September and is slated to be completed later this fall. The new facility will be open for use in the spring of 2019. The pool will be 30 feet by 60 feet and will be located east of the existing pool facility. The scope of the project also includes upgraded bath house facilities. The old pool will be completely demolished and become a new parking area. “We are grateful to the Bowdens for their generosity and vision in supporting this
project,” said Emily Saveraid, Executive director of the Iowa 4-H Foundation. “A new pool has been sorely needed for the past several years; we look forward to welcoming campers back to Clover Woods next summer to enjoy this new amenity.” Originally opened as the Iowa 4-H Center in 1952, Clover Woods Camp and Retreat Center annually welcomes 4-H’ers and non-4-H users alike to the facility for camps, retreats or day use opportunities. Clover Woods offers users over 20 miles of hiking trails, a low ropes course, climbing tower, zip line, sports facilities and more. In addition, Clover Woods gives users the chance to explore five different eco-systems
as well as historical monuments. Other contributors to this project include Prairie Meadows and the Don & Doris and Dennis & Julie Goering families. Clover Woods Camp & Retreat Center is owned by the Iowa 4-H Foundation and offers day and overnight facility use as well as year-round recreation opportunities on 1,000 scenic acres in Boone County. Clover Woods promotes life skill development by providing opportunities for outdoor learning experiences for people of all ages that strengthen their sense of belonging, independence, generosity, and mastery. More information about Clover Woods is available at www. cloverwoods.org.

Roland-Story Roland-Story FFA wins community garden at Iowa State Fair Roland-Story FFA members have been busy this summer as they work in their community garden. The garden is sponsored by Land O’Lakes, Winfield Solutions and Tractor Supply Company.
As of mid-August, the chapter members have harvested and delivered in excess of 10,000 pounds of various vegetables to four different food pantrys in the immediate area. According to Brad
Taylor, FFA advisor, “This project and the desire of the student members to help others is so commendable. It really speaks to one of our school’s core values of humbling serving others.”
Roland-Story FFA members were involved in the Iowa State fair on several different occasions this summer by competing in the Agricultural Demonstrations division. The competition is set up so that stu-
dents from different FFA chapters/schools develop and make presentations to visitors attending the fair while using their public speaking skills. The Roland-Story teams developed their presentations to demonstrate the pro-
cedures for extracting DNA from plants and then explain how the DNA can then be genetically manipulated. The Roland-Story teams finished first in the state in this year’s competition at the State Fair while receiving purple ribbons.
