Carroll County Relay For Life Returns To Graham Park Friday (Today)

Wall Lake Farm Festival organizers are hosting a community UTV ride this weekend to help raise funds for their popular ag-themed celebration later Carroll County residents will gather in Graham Park tomorrow (Friday) for the 2024 Carroll County American Cancer Society (ACS) Relay for Life. Relay Coordinator Suzanne Mages says the event will begin late in the afternoon in Graham Park. AUDIO

Once teams are registered and people have settled in, Mages says the opening ceremonies are slated for 5:30 p.m. on Friday. AUDIO

Mages says this year’s organizers wanted to stay with the family-centric environment that has been popular in recent years, and that will continue in 2024. AUDIO

The survivors’ ceremony will be held at 7:30 p.m., where those who were previously diagnosed with cancer or are currently battling the disease will be recognized. Relay for Life’s iconic luminaria lighting will take place at dusk. Historically, Carroll County has been one of the top per capita fundraising counties in the country, but those numbers have slipped in recent years. Money raised from the Relay for Life goes back to the American Cancer Society to support cancer research, advocacy, and patient support services locally and nationwide. Carroll County Relay For Life

ISU class gives students live experience in how storms develop

by Dar Danielson | Jun 20, 2024

A class of Iowa State University students got a first hand look at severe weather this spring in a course on identifying how storms develop.

Dave Floury is one of the course instructors. “Our students have wanted something like this for some time, a lot of prospective students have visited have been asking if we have such a kind of a storm chasing class. We have to hesitate, we didn’t call it officially storm chasing, so we went with field observations of thunderstorms,” he says. Floury, who is in the Atmospheric Sciences Department at ISU, says some students had been storm chasing, but wanted a more structured and safe experience.

“They want to go out and learn about tornadoes, learn about severe thunderstorms, see them in person and not necessarily just do it on their own but kind of do it within a class where they can learn some of the background some of the structure and some of the science behind it as well,” Floury says. He says they talked about the science of how thunderstorms and tornadoes form, and then went on an eight-day trip to observe them.

“There’s really no better classroom for something like this than being out in the field. You can talk about it all day and write it down on paper, but actually seeing it with your own eyes and saying, you know, that’s what we talked about, that’s how tornadoes form, that’s how thunderstorms form, there’s really no better way to do it,” Floury says. Their trip started in central Kansas, when to northeastern Colorado, then southwest Iowa and southwest Kansas. They also got a tour of the national Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma.

And they finished up by running with storms in northern Oklahoma and southwest Missouri.
