ISU Theatre takes whacky trip through American history in ‘Chasing George Washington: A White House Adventure’ When ISU Theatre’s zany, family-friendly musical “Chasing George Washington: A White House Adventure” opens on Friday, Oct. 25 at Fisher Theater, expect a madcap trip through American history. “Think of it as a mash-up of ‘Hamilton,’ ‘Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure’ and ‘Night at the Museum,’” said Brad Dell, director of ISU Theatre and the production’s director. “This musical shares an inspiring message with a side of utter silliness.” Based on the children’s book “Chasing George Washington,” the musical opens with a group of diverse students on a White House field trip. When they bump into George Washington’s
portrait, America’s most famous founding father falls out of his frame. He then takes the students on a wild-paced trip back through time to discover who belongs in the real portrait of America. “The musical is about finding out if you belong here,” Dell said. “It’s about discovering, celebrating and embracing the beautiful diversity of America in places it hasn’t always been recognized. It puts a spotlight on the power of the individual, and particularly young people, to make a difference.” With contemporary music styles—including a Hamiltonesque hip-hop number—a deconstructed White House and bright,
eye-catching costumes, Dell said the production will provide fun intergenerational entertainment. “In this show, you can expect to meet figures such as President Abraham Lincoln and First Lady Jackie Kennedy Onassis,” Dell said. “This will be great entertainment for your whole family, especially those with students in elementary school, middle school or high school.” The production’s creative team also includes two alumnae guest artists—Kiah Kayser (’14 performing arts) as set designer and Olivia Griffith (’19 performing arts, music) as music director.

Roland-Story Ag Department hosts Farm Safety Camp The Roland-Story Agriculture Department/ FFA chapter, in cooperation with Van Walls of Story City, recently hosted its 42nd annual agriculture farm safety camp for all third-graders at the elementary
school. The camp was designed to give the thirdgrade students further insights in being safe when visiting a farm. According to Brad Taylor, R-S agriculture instructor, “The topics
that the high school students picked out and prepared for are very relevant and should serve as a reminder to any student who visits a farm about being safe.” “We had 58 high school stu-
dents working with the 93 third-graders, and each did an excellent job of using communication skills to get their points across on how to be safe.” Chairing this year’s committee were Ryan
Carter and John Martin. Topics that students identified and prepared for included: lawn mowers – riding and push as well as weed whips and safety gear; grain safety, tractors safety involving PTO
dangers; small and large farm animal care with sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and horses; pets including dogs, cats, ferrets and hedge hogs; first aid treatment and fishing/casting.

R-S botany class studies pH The 10 students in the nearly created Roland-Story botany class have had the opportunity this past month of studying about soils and how to evaluate soil for productivity and potential usage. In there latest lessons, the students have begun using LabQuest Interface devices along with pH sensors to determine
the capabilities of soils and how to correct the pH if it is not ideal for plant growth. In their current lab, students are collaborating with a partner to problem solve how much lime of sulfur to add to the soil samples to bring them to the ideal pH level for various plants. According to agriculture instructor Brad
Taylor, “This activity was developed so that students would be able to see and use a practical application of learning about pH. With agriculture being the No. 1 industry in the state, there is a definite need to educate students about various career options and what some of the jobs are within that industry.”

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Roland-Story botany class explores soil salinity Salts, especially in the form of chemical fertilizers, can build up in soils and greenhouse container media. The cause is poor water movement in the soil or lack of water altogether. This condition can be a problem in arid regions that do not have much rainfall and have poorly drained soils. In the case of farmland, the situation is difficult to correct and is very expensive to reclaim soil. These regions are
normally desert areas that require intensive irrigation in the first place. However, in a greenhouse situation, the problem is easily corrected. Salts can be washed through the soil column with enough water. If you have a pot with a growing media that has good drainage characteristics, simply watering the plant container from overhead is the best method to correct or prevent salts from accumulating. The movement of salts
downward through the soil profile is called leaching. The Roland-Story botany students were engaged in a lesson in their latest unit of study about Soil Chemistry to determine the salinity of soil by measuring it’s electrical conductivity. In addition, they were able to measure soil salinity to determine the effects of chemical fertilizers have on soil salinity levels and make recommendations to alleviate the concern.

Cooper & Sons donate excavation for Nevada FFA Connor MacVey, Nevada FFA alum, moved Nevada FFA’s soil inventory on Saturday, Sept. 7. MacVey used a Caterpillar 963D track loader to completely relocate both a sod composting inventory, and an inventory of black topsoil. Nevada
FFA has sold and delivered black topsoil to customers for raised bed gardens, lawn restoration, and landscaping improvement projects. MacVey works for Cooper & Sons Inc. in Ames as a heavy equipment operator. There was no charge
to the Nevada FFA for the service. “This was great to get this inventory relocate done, and very nice of Cooper & Sons to donate the work” mentioned Kevin Cooper, Nevada High School agriculture education instructor & FFA advisor.
