Nevada FFA had nine students on two soils judgng teams participate in the North Central District FFA Soils Evaluation Career Development Event. Nevada FFA Team 1 placed sixth out of of 64 teams participating. The district soils contest was held on Thursday, Sept. 20, at Smeltzer Trust Farm in Otho. Tyler Hansen was eighth-high scoring individual, Zach Larson was 23rd-high scoring individual. The contest had 178 FFA students participating in the soil evaluation career skill development event. The Soils Evaluation Career Development Event is designed to provide the student an opportunity to dis-
play their agricultural knowledge and skills in the area of Soils Evaluation. The Soils Evaluation Career Development Event included the evaluation of four soil pits, plus a written exam about soils in Iowa. The score card used to judge the soil pits is divided into five parts: Surface Features, Soil Features — The Profile, Land Capability Classification and Productivity Potential, Evaluation of Management Practices, and Sustainability of Soils for Non-Agricultural Uses. Nevada agriculture education students and FFA members studied in the evenings and on Saturday mornings for several weeks in preparation for the contest.
Kevin Cooper, Nevada High School agriculture education instructor and FFA advisor drove the bus and accompanied the students. While the Nevada upperclassmen were judging soils, 19 new FFA members attended the “greenhand fire-up” on campus. The freshman participated in breakout sessions, which provided information on what FFA activities they are able to participate in. The fire-up also provided the opportunity for the students to meet other FFA members from other high school chapters in attendance.

the year in this class. According to Brad Taylor, animal science instructor, “This activity was a part of our lesson over proper animal housing that included biosecurity concerns that animal producers face. In their activity, the
students tested the types of bacteria that were on their shoes. They learned how to make agar to fill their petri dishes and then inoculated the agar. They concluded by incubating their cultures prior to learning how to create slides.”

ACTORS auditions for ‘And Then There Were None’ ACTORS is delighted to present “And Then There Were None,” by Agatha Christie. Auditions will be on Tuesday, Nov. 27, and Wednesday, Nov. 28 at Ames Public Library, 515 Douglas Avenue, PEO Conference Room. Doors open at 6:30 pm with auditions beginning at 7 pm. Perusal scripts are available at Ames Public Library. If you cannot attend the scheduled auditions, please call ACTORS at (515) 2322073 to make alternative arrangements. Director Cathy Divine-Koch and Assistant Director Leah Frazer are looking for a cast of three women and seven men from age 20 to mature
adult. Actors should come prepared to read from the script. They are encouraged to attempt an English accent for all characters. Further dialect coaching will be provided once the show is cast. “And Then There Were None” is an incomparable mystery comedy written by Agatha Christie. Eight guests who have never met each other, or their apparently absent host and hostess, are lured to the house on an island off the coast of Devon. They, along with the two house servants, are marooned there. A mysterious voice accuses each of having gotten away with murder. Ten guilty strang-
ers — trapped. One by one, they are accused of murder. One by one they start to die. Statuettes of little soldier boys on the mantel of the house disappear, one by one, as those in the house succumb to a diabolical avenger. A nursery rhyme tells how each of the 10 “soldiers” met his or her death — until there were none. Rehearsals are planned for Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings. Most actors will not rehearse every night. Due to the “eliminated one-by-one” nature of the show, some actors may only rehearse one or two nights a week. We will try to work with any schedule conflicts you might have until we start into tech week which begins Jan. 27. The six performances for “And Then There Were None” will be at 7:30 p.m. on Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 2, 8 and 9, and at 2 p.m. on Feb. 10.
The Story City Friends Endowment recently awarded $300 to the Boy Scout Troop 101, of Story City, to go toward the purchase of flags, camping equipment and materials.

The Scouts continue to teach the three aims of Scouting: fitness, citizenship and character development and are active in community service projects throughout the year.

Area residents are encouraged to contribute any amount to Story City Friends Endowment and watch their contribution make an impact in the community year after year.
