Ann Taylor and Terence Havlik smile together at Clarke’s prom.

It’s on its way back.

During an April 21 Osceola City Council meeting, the council unanimously approved the site plan for the new Osceola Farm and Home.

The new building, which has also been approved by the planning and zoning officials, will be located between Southwestern Community College’s Osceola center and Boyt Harness. It is in the area of the Saylor business park.

The former Osceola Farm and Home was located on Highway 34 in the center of Osceola.

A devastating fire at the former Osceola Farm and Home began approximately 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 26.

The farm and home building, which also housed a tire shop, was considered a total loss after the fire.

Osceola Farm and Home’s owners and the project’s consulting engineers were in attendance at the April 21 council meeting to answer questions.

and construction services, said the project would be a “roughly” six-acre site with parking that would be “friendly” to the various needs of customers.

“The building, as currently drawn, is just under 36,000-square feet. I believe the old building was around 19,000-square feet,” Gehl said. “So, with the elevation, we went with the prairie-school style entrance, so it will give a real nice curb appeal on the front.”

Gehl said it will be a pre-engineered metal building, styled for construction, which will be economical for faster-paced construction.

The new Osceola Farm and Home will have many of the old favorites of its predecessor, including the tire center, repair shop, retail space and an area designated for hazardous materials.

Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis asked the business’ representatives when the building project would be started.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

House releases budget targets

The ‘blame game’

By Judy Moore Osceola

Now that the supreme court has made their decision concerning the reservoir issue, the blame game begins.

Anyone who paid any attention in junior high civics class knows there are three divisions of government — the executive, legislative and judicial.

There was a reason our founding fathers chose this form of government — so no one branch would have full authority, but would be checked by the other branches if needed.

Each branch is free to do their job within the bounds set by the Constitution.

Therefore, it is a very giant leap to blame a representative in our state government for a judicial decision.

As far as I can tell, the decision was based on the legal aspects of the case within the parameters assigned to them by the constitution, not influence by the legislative branch. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to come to this conclusion.

Education is a great thing, but this has to be tempered with common sense and life experiences to get the best out of life.

There are many citizens in this community who are educated — be it from a higher learning institute or from life experiences and good, common sense.

I also believe each and every one of us has the right to make our own decisions as to what is best for us.

Therefore, I must take exception with the blaming of our esteemed representative Joel Fry, as having influence with the outcome of the reservoir decision.

As for his property being located where it is, his grandparents farmed that area for many years and where Joel

chose to build was part of that farm — his grandparents’ legacy to him.

His grandmother Dunbar still lived up the road from Joel when he built his home 10 years ago, and, knowing Edna as I did, it was a great comfort to her that a grandson was close enough to call on in times of need.

I’m sure he wanted to raise his family in the country close to where he spent many a fun-filled summer along with his siblings on grandpa’s farm.

He has chosen to take a neutral position on the reservoir project out of his sense of responsibility to all the citizens of his district and I applaud him for that, as I would find it very difficult to face the loss of a family farm.

Rep. Fry has, in my opinion, done nothing that in any way suggests anything other than being a very good representative for our district, always asking for input on issues concerning our area.

I think, before the finger pointing starts, each and every one of us needs to closely examine our own issues and actions with a logical, common sense, responsible approach instead of always trying to blame others.

The decision has been made by the supreme law of Iowa, within the process the Constitution bestowed upon them as the judicial branch. It does no one justice to belittle that decision by blaming others, especially when the divisions of government are so explicitly spelled out.

Listening to others’ concerns/ideas, having respect for every individual’s opinions (even if we don’t agree), and accepting responsibility for our own actions is a much better road to traverse rather than playing the “blame game” in matters that concern all.

Victory for landowners

By Michael S. Patterson Osceola

I read with interest the recent Osceola Sentinel-Tribune article explaining the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision which favored local landowners over the Clarke County Reservoir Commission or CCRC. I found the section in the article describing the CCRC’s option to pursue purchases of land during the appeal process to be somewhat incomplete.

I believe that to tell the full story it should have included that the CCRC did indeed make the impulsive and impractical decision to proceed with purchases of private property in the face of pending litigation at the elevated level of the Iowa Supreme Court.

I find it difficult to believe that any individual CCRC member, acting in the roll of purchaser and under such circumstances, would have privately entered into any similar land acquisition transaction, gambling with their own personal financial resources.

In point of fact, the CCRC was very strongly advised by their taxpayer funded legal counsel to abstain from any purchases of real estate property until a formal decision from the Iowa Supreme Court had been rendered on the case.

The CCRC chose to ignore this sage advice and proceeded to go even further than what was stated in your article; for not only did they commence working out purchase agreements with willing local landowners, some of those agreements were finalized and the land transactions executed to the tune of hundreds of thousands of tax dollars.

I view the Iowa Supreme Court’s decision as an important victory for all private property owners and a vital necessity in the continuing struggle of providing checks and balances to the overreaching single-mindedness of the economic development complex.

At the same time, I must acknowledge

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

that the decision also represents yet another setback in the completely unnecessary tragedy, which the local pursuit for adequate potable water has become.

Not counting the aforementioned land purchases, literally millions of tax dollars have been recklessly and ineffectively consumed by the CCRC. They have consistently and obstinately followed deficient and erroneous outside advice while ignoring the informed and competent voices of concerned taxpaying citizens, as well as paid learned counsel.

It would seem that when assessing “expert” opinions and information the CCRC would have been better served borrowing an oft quoted principle from your journalistic handbook; “Trust, but always verify.”

Unfortunately, the current CCRC is forever stained and tainted; irreparably damaged by improper methods, past attempts at subterfuge and various other unwarranted and ill-conceived actions.

I would still like to still believe that a dominate percentage of CCRC members are generally good and well-intended fellow citizens who only want the best for their community, but have simply been rendered blind to the bigger picture by those that represent special interests, interests which are of a much more personal financial nature. It is time to thank them one and all for their time and service and begin anew.

I suspect that there is much which can be learned and perhaps some that can be salvaged from the precious time and staggering amounts of tax dollars already squandered.

Certainly much damage has been done and there are many relationship fences that need repairing, but effective and positive results will only be realized once new leadership assumes the helm and can chart a course forward which is both forthright to, and respectful of, the rights and interests of all those concerned and affected.

The Fry Times

House District 27 joel.fry@legis.state.ia.us

The House released their FY 2016 general fund budget targets recently. And for the fifth year in a row, the House has proposed a budget that spends less than the state will take in.

For FY 2016, the state would spend $7,168,144,634 out of the general fund. This amounts to a 2.48 percent increase in state spending. That amount would also spend 99.9 percent of the Revenue Estimating Conference’s latest estimate for ongoing revenue in FY 2016.

The general fund would be spent as follows: Administration & Regulation — $49,800,000 (decrease of $1,995,769) Agriculture & Natural Resources — $42,000,000 (decrease of $1,111,995) Economic Development — $41,400,000 (decrease of $1,181,886) Education — $977,578,044

JOEL FRY

(decrease of $8,558,321) Health & Human Services (decrease of $14,859,686) Justice Systems (decrease of $3,380,575) Standings (increase of $204,905,562) As has been stated since the start of the session, K-12 education is getting the first bite of the apple, with funding for year two of the education reform legislation from 2013 and a 1.25

percent increase in supplemental state aid to schools.

Also, the increase in funding for continued implementation of the commercial property tax reform legislation is included as well. The budget will also address mandatory increases in Medicaid because of further declines in federal funding participation.

The House believes that it is important to lead by example when holding the line on spending. They are doing this by reducing the Legislature’s own budget by more than $1 million below the FY 2015 level.

Additionally, funding for organizational dues has been removed from all budgets. The executive council will be given a set amount of funds to pay for organizational dues that it has given approval to.

As the current round of early retirement benefits comes to a close on June 30, the funds spent in this program are being repurposed to other areas.

BACK IN TIME

By Marie White Clarke County Historical Society Barry Mateer, contributor

April marks the 150th anniversary of Robert E. Lee’s surrender of the Confederacy.

The following seems to be the earliest surviving obituary in an Osceola newspaper, “The Union Sentinel,” Jan. 31, 1863. At that time, Osceola was spelled Oceola.

Amos Clinton Holcomb, son of Cyrus and Lydia Holcomb, and husband of Sibble R. Holcomb, served in the Civil War with Company B, 6th Iowa Regiment.

He died at Columbus, Ky., on the 20th of December 1862, of measles, aged 21 years and one day.

Another victim to the unholy rebellion has fallen. Mr. Holcomb and Miss S. R. Reid were

united in matrimony on the 7th of last August; in a few weeks, at the call of our country, he left for the army, and will never more return to her whose pure patriotism gave him up to his country — offered him with tears and anguish, a sacrifice on her country’s sacred altar.

This, it is true, is only one of the thousands of similar bereavances caused by this rebellion, but it comes home to the citizens of Clarke County with particular force, on account of the great worth of the victim, and his family, and especially, the fact of the relations of his estimable wife to the citizens of this county — she having been, for two years previous to her marriage, one of the leading teachers in the Oceola High School, and in that capacity having endeared herself to so many families in Oceola, Clarke

County and some of the adjoining counties.

Hundreds of the warm hearts of those who have been blessed by her efficient and disinterested labors sympathize with her in this her heart-crashing bereavement; while hundreds of sincere prayers ascend heaven-ward in her behalf.

Mr. Holcomb had also been a member of that school, and by his many virtues won golden opinions from all who knew him.

Suffice to say that he was a man — a worthy son of noble Christian parents, and a husband __, in every sense, for this refined and accomplished lady. His body rests in a soldier’s grave, and we believe his spirit exults in the Patriot’s Heaven.

Amos Holcomb is buried in the Hopeville Cemetery in Clarke County, Iowa.

Witt ties for 18th in Patton finding stride for final push of season first trip to Drake

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Former Murray standout Kate Patton earned All-America honors during the indoor track season for Central College, but said she went into a bit of a slump at the beginning of outdoors.

Patton busted out of that slump in a big way here Friday at the Drake Relays, running on the Dutch 4x400 relay.

Central College finished 14th in the 28-team field in the College Division 4x400 relay, running 3:49.86.

Pittsburgh State took the

final qualifying spot for finals with its time of 3:47.60.

Patton ran a 58.7-second anchor leg for the Dutch relay team, which was an improvement from her 1:00 split at the Jim Duncan Invitational on the same track, and in better weather conditions, just a few weeks prior.

“I ran like a 60 a few weeks ago, so I feel like that was a lot faster than a 60. I’m pretty happy with it. It just feels good to be back (at the Drake Relays) and not running at 8 in the morning,” Patton said, referencing the early start time for the high school girls 100 meter dash prelims, in which Patton had compet-

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

DES MOINES — Clarke senior Gordon Witt never qualified for the Co-ed State Track Meet or for the Drake Relays previously in his career.

So the April 24 Drake Relays high school boys high jump competition marked his first appearance inside Drake Stadium.

“It’s the first time I’ve ever been up here and I’m pretty excited about it,” Witt said.

“I’ve never had to do something like this before, so it was nice.”

Witt finished tied 18th in the field of 29 competitors in the high jump, clearing 6-3. West Burlington Notre Dame seniro Jeff Giannettino won with a clearance of 7-1, and took three attempts at what would have been a new Drake Relays record

height of 7-3.75.

Witt entered the Drake Relays with a best clearance of 6-4, which he had done at both ADM on April 7 and at Chariton on April 14.

The Drake Relays provided Witt with an entirely new experience, however.

“Definitely nerve-wracking,” he said. “I come up here, everything is bigger, it’s more formal up here.

They have a lot more rules than we do at a high school meet, so it was different for me.”

Witt said his biggest goal for the Drake Relays was just to make opening height, which was 6-1.

“My goal for today was just to clear opening height, so I didn’t go home with nothing,” he said. “I was clearing 6-3, that’s definitely a big thing for me. In a prestigious event, it’s seomthing I’ve always wanted to do.”

Having opening height

at 6-1 was a big change for Witt, who said he is used to opening at 5-6.

“In a normal high school meet, I come in at 5-6,” he said. “So from 5-6 to 6-1 opening height, that’s a pretty big difference for me. So I was pretty nervous about that. The first jump, it didn’t go too well because I lost all my form. I think that one got all the nerves out of my body, that way I could focus on what I needed to work on to do better with my next jump.”

Witt missed his first attempt at 6-1, but cleared easily on his second attempt.

It took him all three of his attempts to clear 6-3, but he accomplished that feat.

The Clarke senior took three solid attempts at 6-5, seemingly over the bar on each attempt, but clipped the Please see WITT, page 7

ed as a junior and senior for Murray.

Patton qualified for state in the 400 meter dash multiple times as a high school athlete, but placed higher in the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash at the state meet.

She ran her first 100 meter dash of the season later Friday evening at the Kip Janvrin Invitational at Simpson College.

“I never used to like 400s, but just the difference in training, I think. I don’t mind them so much anymore,” Patton said. “My coach is a great coach, so I’ll just run whatever he tells me to.”

After earning All-American status during indoor season as part of Central’s fourth-place 4x400 relay team at the Division III Indoor National Championships, Patton said the start to her outdoor season was rocky.

“It’s been a roller-coaster of a year,” she said. “It was really high when we went to nationals. But I’ve been kind of in a slump lately, so just working out of that slowly. I just feel like I’ve gotten a lot stronger, mentally and physically. Just getting confidence back is the big thing.”

Being physically stronger has helped Patton at the 400 distance. She said she’s just 10 pounds away from making Central’s top five alltime list in the hang clean.

Aside from helping with her physical strength, it’s also helped her coming out of the blocks, an area in which she struggled as a Please see PATTON, page 7

McKinney gains new Beeler returns home on experiences with Central track Panther relay teams

DES MOINES — Former Interstate 35 standout Maddie Beeler felt at home here last weekend, running at the Drake Relays for the University of Northern Iowa.

The UNI junior ran on the Panthers’ 4x400 and 4x200 relay teams at the Drake Relays on Friday.

“I’m always just so blessed to be here,” Beeler said.

sixth in the heat and 19th overall out of the 27-team field.

“I’ve been working on that last part. It’s just got to get a little stronger each time and it gets a little easier,” Beeler said about her finish. “I felt pretty strong.

To be honest, we didn’t get much of a warmup, because they kind of brought us down there pretty quick.

So I didn’t have much time to think about it. Just went out there and did it. It’s kind of a blur, really.”

Northern Iowa ran 3:45.05 as a team. Joining Beeler on the relay were Samuelson, Jennifer Roberts and Holly Salzbrenner.

That time currently ranks the Panthers third in the Missouri Valley Conference.

It marked just the second time this outdoor season the Panthers have run that 4x400 quartet.

“We’ve only run the 4x400 twice yet this year,” Beeler said. “We wanted to hit 3:45 today. It’s a huge season best. We’ve kind of been playing with the order a little bit, but I think we’ve finally found one that works, so we’re all very pleased. We just put it all out there, so we’re very pleased.”

Beeler also ran on UNI’s 11th-place 4x200 relay team, which ran 1:41.05.

She ran the leadoff leg for that relay.

DES MOINES — Central College freshman Holly McKinney has made two trips to the blue oval at Drake Stadium in the past three weeks, and has experienced something new in each trip.

On April 10, McKinney made her debut in the 3,000 meter steeplechase at the Jim Duncan Invitational. On April 23 at the Drake Relays, McKinney ran in the 4x1600 relay for the first time.

It also marked the first time the former Interstate 35 prep has run in the prestigious Drake Relays.

“I’ve never competed at the Relays before, so it was a totally new experience,” McKinney said. “It was really cool to be running with my teammates and against other really good teams. I guess just kind of the prestige of the Relays (made it special).

It’s something you have to qualify for, so it’s something you have to work toward. Just being able to run it at Drake Stadium with the crowd there was a neat experience.”

McKinney ran the anchor leg on Central’s 4x1600 relay team, which finished 12th in the 13team field with its time of 21:28.30. The Dutch were the only Division III team in the field.

Joining McKinney on the relay were Molly Bramble, Kenzie Foldes and Andie Arthofer.

“We were all just excited to be able to run at Drake,” McKinney said.

“We all ran pretty well for our split times. I was hoping to run a little faster, but I was happy with it.”

Central College freshman Holly McKinney, a former Interstate 35 prep, comes off the second turn on April 23 at the Drake Relays in the 4x1600 relay. McKinney ran a 5:24 split on the anchor carry for the Dutch, who finished 12th overall as the only Division III school in the field.

McKinney split a 5:24 on her carry of the relay, which was close to her mile PR of 5:23 from the indoor track season.

In addition to competing at the Drake Relays for the first time in her career, McKinney has seen success during her freshman campaign in the 3,000 meter steeplechase.

She finished seventh in the event at the Jim Duncan Invitational on April 10, running 11:50.71. It was the first time she had ever run the steeplechase.

“That is different than anything I’ve ever done

before,” McKinney said.

“I never saw myself as a hurdler, really. Once you try it, it’s pretty fun.”

One day after running the 4x1600 relay at the Drake Relays, McKinney ran the steeplechase at the Kip Janvrin Invitational at Simpson College.

McKinney took nearly 20 seconds off her time from the Jim Duncan Invitational, finishing second in 11:32.65. Nicole Arnold of Northern State won in 11:27.11.

“I felt really good about it, and then when we raised it up to the 6-5 mark, that’s where I get the nerves,” Witt said. “It’s just another obstacle for me, as is 6-0 to somebody else. My coach was saying I was doing good, just Witt everything when I get to 6-5, my form kind of slows down, because I’m overthinking it too much. I

think throughout the year, I’ll be able to get better at that.”

Clarke assistant coach Julieann Barr, who coached Witt from the Drake Stadium infield, said she believes can clear 6-5.

“I think he’s ready for 6-5, and we know he wants it really bad,” she said. “He has a hunger for it. So I think it’s just a matter of him putting his mind to it that he’s already cleared it and he’ll have it. Because right now, he hasn’t cleared it yet, and I think it’s a challenge for him.”

But Barr doesn’t think Witt is limited to just 6-5.

“Honestly, I think he could clear 6-6 or 6-8 this year,” Barr said. “He’s that

good and he’s developed so strong. It’s just a matter of him getting over his mental block and getting through it, because once he does that, he’s got the 6-6, 6-8 I think he can do.”

As for Witt, last week’s experience at the Drake Relays is a big confidence boost for him as he heads into the final month of the season leading up to the Coed State Track Meet in May at Drake Stadium.

“Definitely gives me confidence, because to compete with guys like this that are jumping 7-0 in high school meets,” Witt said. “It’s definitely fun to jump with somebody that I can keep up with.”

The Clarke tennis teams each picked up close 5-4 victories over Davis County on April 21, improving the boys to 3-3 for the season and the girls to 3-2 for the season.

The Lady Indians then fell 8-1 to Centerville on Monday, dropping to 3-3 for the season.

Clarke’s girls team bolted to a 4-2 lead through the end of the singles play against Davis County and needed just one doubles victory to secure the team victory.

The team of sophomore Lexy Carson and freshman Brittany Beckett picked up an 8-3 win at No. 3 doubles after Davis County won close matches at No. 1 and No. 2 doubles, giving the Lady Indians the win.

Senior Dania Echeveste won 8-4 over Katelyn Her-

zberg at No. 2 singles, while Sydney Sickels and Carson each won by 8-3 scores at No. 4 and No. 6 singles, respectively. Junior Katie VanGundy scored an 8-2 win over Kali Rudd at No. 5 singles for the Lady Indians.

In doubles play, the team of Sydnee Redman and Echeveste lost a close 9-7 match to Jordyn Thompson and Herzberg. At No. 2 doubles, Sofia Contreras and VanGundy lost 9-8 (7-2) to Callie Good and Bethany Bremer.

In boys action, Clarke and Davis County sat tied at 3-3 after singles play concluded.

Clarke’s wins at No. 1 and No. 3 doubles gave the Indians the victory, however.

The No. 1 doubles team of Ali Aly and Reed Morris cruised to an 8-1 win over Dillon Garrett and Seth Mitchell.

At No. 3 doubles, Billy Otto and Terence Havlik scored an 8-4 win to clinch

the Clarke victory.

Aly and Morris each won easily in singles play, as both picked up victories of 8-2. Havlik secured an 8-0 win at No. 6 singles.

The three singles defeats for the Indians were all close matches. Trevor Kirkpatrick fell 8-6 at No. 3 singles and Taylor Ehrhardt lost 8-5 at No. 4 singles.

Otto dropped a competitive match at No. 5 singles, 9-8 (8-6).

The Clarke girls managed just one match victory against Centerville on Monday.

The No. 1 doubles team of Redman and Echeveste won 8-3 over Amory Glosser and Alex Kelly for Clarke’s lone win of the day.

The Clarke boys host Albia today at 4:15 p.m. and Creston on at 4:15 p.m. Friday. The Clarke girls travel to Creston Friday, with play beginning at 4:15 p.m.

Area track Murray sweep MORAVIA — The Murray track teams swept the team titles here Monday at the Moravia Mohawk Invite.

The Murray boys won nine events and had four runner-up finishes. Senior Matt Rockhold won four gold medals for the Mustangs.

Rockhold won the 400 m e t e r hurdles, 110 meter high hurdles and ran on the winning shuttle hurdle and Rockhold 4x100 re-

Woodburn Methodist Church

This is one of the great moments of Jesus in the Bible.

Zacchaeus was a tax collector in Jericho. He heard Jesus was going to go through Jericho.

While Zacchaeus was a rich tax collector, his physical statue was not tall. Hearing that Jesus was coming through Jericho, Zacchaeus thought, ‘How could I see Jesus?’

Then, he remembered a sycamore tree that he might climb. We need to remember Zacchaeus was not wearing “jeans or dress pants.” It would have been a challenge for him to climb the tree.

As Zacchaeus was now in the tree, he noted Jesus was coming close. This is where Zacchaeus would have a surprise! Jesus stopped right near the tree and looked up in the sycamore tree. Their eyes made contract and Jesus said, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.”

Now the people walking with Jesus knew this short man Zacchaeus and that he was the cheating tax collector for the Roman government. While the people expressed surprise at Jesus, Zacchaeus came down. He went to Jesus and made a promise.

The promise to Jesus was he would help the poor in Jericho with half of all his money and he would pay back to any person he had cheated. Now, the people were shocked by this turn of events! This was the was after all the “tax collector.”

This was unlike the rich young ruler who had asked Jesus about what he needed to do to be saved. Remember, Jesus told the rich young ruler he would need to part with his wealth and follow him. With that answer the rich young ruler walked away “sadness since he would not give his wealth.”

This was not the direction that Zacchaeus selected. Coming to Jesus with open hands, Jesus told Zacchaeus, “Today salvation has come to this (your) house...”

Jesus turned to the crowd telling them, “For the son of School. Wednesday - 7:30 p.m. Elders & Deacons meeting.

man came to seek out and to save the lost.”

This is the “good news” from this moment in the life of Jesus. He has come for “us” who are broken, in pain, in sickness, in an upside down world, in a world all alone and empty people.

Our conditions cannot be filled or have any lasting peace without His answer. Jesus answers for all people that He came to “seek out and save the lost.”

Each Sunday in our country, fewer and fewer people come together to worship and share in the fellowship of the faithful. The bright adds, slogans, pictures and music in the world have many people believing they have discovered something to fill their lives. But this is not true!

The news tells us different every day. There is more and more bad news. There is more and more sad news. There are more and more people who have not found the answer to their life with worldly goods.

Zacchaeus had great wealth, but he knew that he was not satisfied with life. When he went to see Jesus, it was the inner part of him crying out for peace grace, and mercy for the life he was living.

While I have not climbed any trees, I have found Jesus on many walks in the southern Iowa hills. I have found Jesus in the people around me in the church. I have worked to know Jesus. I have given Jesus and myself time to grow and understand the steps that Jesus has taken to reach me on this faith journey in life.

I invite you to discover this “journey of faith” in the church every Sunday. Making friends with others who know that they need to be having Jesus will give you strength.

Jesus knows your name. The door is open to meet Him. I invite you to discover the tree you need to climb to discover the grace, mercy and love He has planned to give you.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Brimm named State FFA Proficiency award winner Every FFA member is required to have an supervised agriculture project or SAE. A SAE helps students get hands-on experience in the field of agriculture and teaches them responsibility along with giving them a chance to trial run possible career paths.

Each member must document records on their SAE. Kooper Brimm’s SAE project focuses on international disaster relief and non-profit work.

Through his entrepreneur SAE project he has been given the opportunity to travel to Les Cayes, Haiti, two times.

While he was in Haiti, he helped to rebuild many villages destroyed by the earthquake the country experienced in 2010 and also Hurricane Sandy in 2013.

Brimm completed a proficiency application that was judged at the district level.

It advanced to the state level where he won first in the state of Iowa for his hard work in the area of home and community development.

Brimm will receive his award on stage at Hilton Coliseum during the State FFA Convention later this month.

Brimm’s application will advance to the National Proficiency contest where he will compete against other students across the U.S. The results of this award will be revealed this fall during the 2015 National FFA Convention held in Louisville, Ky. A broader description of Kooper’s experiences through his SAE project are included below.

His project connects to agriculture in many ways.

One way it relates is through the opportunity to collaborate with Sukup Grain Bins.

Over the past two years they have built five new Sukup Safety Grain Bin homes for local residents.

These homes are equipped to be weather proof and environmentally friendly. Homes are equipped with growing boxes, water collection systems and self ventilation/cooling systems.

build a well for safe drinking water.

Another large part of Brimm’s SAE project is working through Global Compassion Network.

One of the projects he helped establish in the villages was the creation of sustainable gardening systems.

One example was the increased number Moringa trees, which provides a source of high protein and vitamins for the orphans.

Brimm’s SAE also focuses on business management and his ability to effectively assist in providing a better community for those in Haiti. He sees communities as people from different places helping others in need and then joining together to form a new communities.

Brimm said his SAE has helped him prepare for the future by giving him transferable skills that he will use all of his life.

One of these skills Brimm has learned is time management. He is a busy student, so using his time efficiently to make business connections, write letters and plan events is important.

Another skill he’s learned is money management. Being responsible for all the money for the trips was stressful. To keep track, Brimm made an Excel spread sheet and recorded all of the income and expenses on this file.

Communication is another transferable skill Brimm now possess because of his SAE. He feels more at ease when sharing his presentations with others. These are only a few of the things that will impact his future.

Haiti has opened Brimm’s eyes to the possibility of turning something he loves into a career. He recently started to research colleges that offer degrees in international agriculture.

This field interests him because he has a passion for both agriculture and helping others on an international level. Brimm is looking forward to his third trip and is planning to apply to be in a student leadership position.
