‘Originality: Past and Future’ by Dennis Dake on display The Gallery in the Round at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames, announces a new art exhibition, on display through Dec. 6, 2019. The exhibit features recent paintings and drawings by Dennis Dake, ISU professor eEmeritus of art and design. The exhibit titled, “Originality: Past and Future,” consists of artworks based on the artist’s family history. These artworks ask the question, “Can contemporary, original art come from unique origins with rural Iowa sources”? The public is invited to an artist’s reception from 3 to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24, in the gallery, 1015 Hyland Ave., in Ames. Dake will give a brief
presentation about his work at 4 p.m. Food and drink will be provided. Dake grew up in small town in northeastern Iowa, with little exposure to the visual arts. While serving in England in the U.S. Air Force in the early 1960s, an emotional encounter with a painting by Renoir in the London’s National Gallery changed his life. Dake saidhe knew in that moment that his life’s goal was to develop his artistic abilities. He subsequently received art degrees from Upper Iowa University and the University of Northern Iowa and taught at the high school and college levels in Davenport. From 1971-2008, he served on the fac-
ulty of the ISU College of Design, Department of Art and Design, teaching courses in art education, the neuropsychology of artistic thought, painting, design and mixed media art. In retirement, Dake pursues the development of and experimentation with a representational style of art. His artwork looks back in time to the origins of his family. Looking forward with history as the base, he creates new original art works – right here in central Iowa. Dake lives in Ames, with his wife, Dorothy. He is a member of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Ames and currently serves on its board of directors and as chair of the art exhibition committee.

Ten Nevada FFA members and their advisor, Kevin Cooper, recently attended the 92nd National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. The Nevada entourage departed on Wednesday, Oct. 29, boarding a charter bus at 2:45 a.m. The trip took several months of preparing, registering, budgeting and getting school work done in advance in order for the students and advisor to attend. Other high school FFA chapters on the Windstar Central bus included GliddenRalston, Greene County, Collins-Maxwell and Twin Cedars. After registering, the students attended the 1st General Session in Lucas Oil Stadium.
The opening session included an address by a National FFA officer focusing on the 2019 FFA theme, “Fifty years of women in FFA” It has been 50 years since the 1969 National FFA Convention when women gained full national membership in FFA. The opening session included keynote speaker Bob Goff, a New York Times best-selling author. On Thursday, the students toured the Exotic Feline Rescue Center where more than 200 tigers, lions, cheetahs, bobcats, lynx and cougars call home. The EFRC was founded in 1991 and is recognized nationally in big cat rescue. Then traveling back to the convention,
students attended workshops, leadership session, and were able to visit with colleges from across the US. A multitude of agriculture companies were present also to discuss careers that students may be interested in. On Friday, students toured the Traders Point Creamery north of Indianapolis. TPC is a working organic dairy farm which, in addition to organic milk, has a complete line of dairy products. The remainder of time was at general sessions, career show, and workshops. The bus left Indianapolis at 4 p.m. on Friday, and the Nevada students were back to the high school around 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2.
