Roland-Story ag I class works community garden The Roland-Story agriculture education classes worked in the FFA community garden to harvest a variety of crops and produce to be donated to the local food pantries in Story City and Ames. All students were given instruction about some of the various vegetables that are in the garden including different types of root, vining and stalk crops. One of the interesting root crops the students were exposed to were sweet potatoes. They learned about the growth habits as well as harvesting methods. According to agriculture instructor Brad Taylor, “The students really got into this field lab activity today. Many have been removed through the generations from first-hand applications of our food production system, and this experience has allowed
them to gain an appreciation of food production as well as become a positive advocate for agriculture.� The Roland-Story
FFA chapter has donated more than 9.5 tons of fresh produce to the Loaves and Fishes food pantry in Story City, Food at First in Ames,
Roland-Story Middle School Food Pantry and Bethesda Lutheran Church in Ames this summer and still has produce left to harvest and bring in.

Welcome Rex Nelson Hello! My name is Rex Nelson, Director of Nursing at the Households of Bethany. I have a combined experience of eight years in healthcare. This position began in July but I have been on the management team at the Households of Bethany since April of this year. Prior to this, I had experience in multiple roles and settings ranging from Certified Nurse Aide to charge nurse in several hospitals. My Associates in Nursing was completed in 2013 through DMACC and I transitioned into the Registered Nurse role at that time. I later obtained my Bachelor’s in Nursing from Walden University and will be continuing with the pursuit of a Master’s in Nursing in the near future. The reason I went into nursing is to improve the quality of life for others needing care. Since beginning the transition in management, this team has made huge strides in quality of care using creative solutions to maintain our residents’ independence, rights, dignity and safety, while increasing our staff satisfaction and retention. I look forward to being part of the continuous improvement that has become a trend with our leadership team.
Welcome Jessica Dirks Hello! My name is Jessica Dirks, Assistant Director of Nursing at the Households of Bethany. I was a Certified Nurse Aide and Certified Medication Aide at Bethany Life ten years ago. I graduated from nursing school in 2011 with my LPN. I have worked in long term care as a skilled nurse, as well as worked at a hospital in the informatics and quality department. I missed working in long term care and came back to the Household of Bethany in May. I have lived in this area my whole life, graduated from Roland-Story High School and have two sons, ages four and nine. I’m looking forward to being a part of Bethany Life’s exciting future.

Students in the Roland-Story agricultural mechanics class have been learning about the engineering brocess in their first unit of study this fall. In their latest activity which was titled “toxic beans,” they were challenged to work in a team setting to solve a problem. Students have been learning about mechanical systems and how to improve efficiency of operations, what past individuals have done to solve problems (such as John Deere with his steel plow) and in
their latest activity to develop a solution to move ‘toxic beans’ out of a danger area. Their specific challenge was: ‘A container of beans with a highly toxic chemical has contaminated an area. The container holding the beans is not stable and cannot hold the contaminated beans. The beans have contaminated an area that includes a two-foot radius around the container. You cannot enter this area on the ground or in the air without being contaminated. Luckily, there is a container

in the toxic zone that can safely hold the beans. This container will prevent any more contamination from occurring. Your team’s job is to use the materials provided to develop a tool that can lift the container of beans and pour them into the safe container.’ The students had to collaborate with their teammates to come up with a solution to solve the problem. They developed a prototype, tested it and then tweaked it until they were able to successfully complete the task.

The Nevada FFA was presented with a check for $181.25 on Tuesday, July 30, from the Wix Filtration Company. Wix, a longtime supporter of the FFA, offers 25 cents for each box label collected from customers for a locally chosen FFA chapter. Arnolds Motor Sup-
ply of Ames facilitated the collection of these labels through its local customers, including Chitty Garbage Service, KEY Cooperative, Midwest Cylinder Head, Mike Ackerman, Harold See and Construct Company of Ames. In April, more than 2,607 filter box labels were sent to Wix for the
financial incentive. Tom Meskan and John Hagedorn from the Arnold Motor Supply Store in Ames presented the check on behalf of Wix Filtration Company. Arnold Motor Supply of Ames also paid for the $30 in freight cost to ship the label to Wix Corporate Headquarters in Gastonia, N.C.
