A phone call away CROSS Mental Health Region provides 24-hour hotline for crisis services

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

If you have a problem and don’t know where to turn for help, there are services available.

At the start of the fiscal year July 1, County Rural Offices of Social Services (CROSS) for mental health and disability has added crisis services to the region, including a crisis hotline.

The crisis hotline toll free number is 844-430-8520.

“We’ve never had that type of service available in any of our counties across the region,” Kathy Lerma, chief executive officer of CROSS Region Mental Health and Disability Services.

The hotline, which is with Foundation 2 services, is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

History The hotline is an important step for CROSS with providing mental health services to its area.

In 2013, Iowa Legislature

decided to create mental health regions, as opposed to individual county mental health funds and services.

CROSS’ region consists of Clarke, Ringgold, Decatur, Wayne, Lucas and Monroe counties.

“The idea behind the regions that there could be more continuity across the counties for what services were available,” said Mary DeLong, disabilities services coordinator for CROSS Region/Clarke County. “In the past, in some counties, there might be a plethora of services because they had more money. And, in the very next county, there wouldn’t be very much money, so they wouldn’t have as many services. So, the idea is then these services would be more equal.”

Usage CROSS is in the process of getting the word out that the number is available to the Please see HOTLINE, Page 4

Sweet success

Jovee Blakely raises thousands for animal shelter with lemonade stand

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

There’s no greater friend to the animals than Jovee Blakely, 4, of Osceola.

During a board meeting Monday, July 20, Jovee presented a check in the amount of $2,215.27 toward Clarke County Animal Shelter. In addition, she also donated some pet supplies to the animal shelter.

Jovee, the daughter of Erin and Shane Blakely and sibling of Journee, had a lemonade stand during Osceola’s Fourth of July festivities with proceeds going toward the animal shelter.

Collections are still coming in.

Pouring lemonade was Jovee’s favorite part of the lemonade stand, which lasted four days.

“I drank some of it, too,” she said with a giggle.

Jovee said she likes lemonade because it’s sweet and tasty, and people like to drink it on a hot day. Her friend Rylee Leighty also helped her at the lemonade stand.

Birthdays This is not the first time Jovee has taken it upon herself to help Clarke County Animal Shelter.

For Jovee’s past couple of birthday celebrations, her party invitations were written to explain, instead of gifts, she would prefer to have pet food and supplies that could be donated to the animal shelter.

“They want to have food in the winter,” Jovee said.

In October 2014, I was diagnosed with a very rare form of head and neck cancer. I, so far, have gone through two surgeries and eight weeks of radiation and chemotherapy treatments. On June 6th, my family and friends united together and had a benefit dinner and auction to help support me and my family. In the months following my diagnosis, we received so much support from everyone with the cards, care packages, well wishes and prayers. We were already overwhelmed by the love and support received (especially from those we had never even met!) but after the benefit, we have truly been humbled. For weeks leading up to the event, so many worked countless hours planning, organizing, and asking for donations. The building was packed full of people showing their genuine love and support and for that we will be forever grateful.

To the outstanding number of businesses and people in the surrounding counties that donated-THANK YOU! From the bottom of our hearts, thank you! So much generosity was shown and you didn’t even think twice about donating something for the dinner or auction. To the family and friends that worked so hard making sure the benefit was such a success-we will never forget the kindness and selflessness you have shown. It’s definitely not easy to put on such an event, but you all pulled through and made it look effortless! To all of you wonderful people that took time away from your busy lives to show your support-you are truly amazing. Many of you traveled a great distance to make it or gave up other plans so that you could be there. We hope you all know just how much you mean to us.

After college, we decided to move to Des Moines, but it is after such a misfortune we have experienced and after seeing how much a community sticks together to support one another, it is no surprise that small town Iowa is where it’s at!

People are good and have such big hearts and the support system of friends and family has lifted me up in ways I never thought possible. Although we no longer call Osceola our home, our hearts will always be there!

Forever grateful, Lynsey, Zach, Madison, & Brantley Manternach

CHALLENGE GRANT OPPORTUNITY!

Iowa Main Street communities, including Osceola, are eligible for the Main Street Challenge Grant funds. Eligible projects must be within our downtown project area and only members of Osceola Chamber Main Street are eligible to apply. Only Osceola Chamber Main Street may submit applications on behalf of local projects, properties and businesses. Awards will be dispersed to chosen beneficiaries by Osceola Chamber Main Street. Projects that will be considered can include building rehabilitations, facade improvements, new construction, or reuse projects. Plans will be locally judged on preservation standards, architectural significance, ability to be completed within the time frame, ability to secure a dollar for dollar match, and impact on the community. These projects will need to follow the Iowa GreenStreets standards.

Note: If a property is listed or deemed eligible for the National Register of Historic Places or part of a National Register District, the Secretary of Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation must be followed.

The maximum dollar amount to be awarded will be $75,000 with a minimum award of $15,000 per project. A 100-percent, dollar-for-dollar, cash match is required. Other federal or state grant program awards may NOT be used to satisfy the cash match for the project/property. Osceola Chamber Main Street may apply on behalf of one project/property. The match requirement may include necessary project costs for professional service, i.e. architectural or engineering studies. If this is part of an on-going project, no money already expended can be counted as match.

Osceola Chamber Main Street is looking for a worthy project in our downtown district.

Interested parties should contact the OCMS office at 641-342-4200 for details. A one-page summary of the project should be presented to OCMS by Friday, August 14th.

From these nominations, one will be selected by a committee of the OCMS Board of Directors.

A finalist will be chosen based on meeting the above standards the best.

Where are we to look for support?

Many of you realize Gov. Branstad vetoed a school funding bill that would have given public schools in Iowa an additional $55.7 million dollars. The legislation was passed in the Iowa House of Representatives and Iowa Senate after back and forth debate. Gov. Branstad went against the majority of members in our legislature and against the students of Iowa with this veto.

Some leaders in the House and Senate started a movement to call a special session with the intention of overriding his veto. A special session was not called. Why? There were not enough Representatives and Senate members who contacted the governor about calling the special session.

Following are some of the facts.

FACT: Clarke Schools will not get $158,731 because of the veto.

FACT: Murray Schools will not get $28,595 because of the veto.

FACT: As of July 30, our representative, Joel Fry, did not contact the governor about calling a special session.

FACT: As of July 30, our senator, Amy Sinclair, did not contact the governor about calling a special session.

FACT: Joel Fry is a member of the House Education Committee.

FACT: Amy Sinclair is a member of the Senate Education Committee.

In fact, she is listed as the ranking member on the website of the Iowa Senate.

I suggest you contact Rep. Fry and Sen. Sinclair and ask two questions.

First, why did you not support calling a special session? Second, the more important question, as a member of the education committee will you support legislation in the next session to make up for the $55.7 million, as well as a fair and equitable increase for the 2016-17 school year.

Tax reform

By Sen. Amy Sinclair R-Allerton

As a state legislator, increasing taxes on major industries is a subject that is frequently discussed. Most Americans are unaware that companies pay different effective tax rates based on their industry.

Although the effective tax rate for corporations in the United States is 39.1 percent, certain corporations actually pay a higher effective rate.

Oil companies pay more in taxes than any other type of business even as they have increased the number of Americans they hire by 40 percent in the last five years.

The United States has specifically punished an industry that supports the employment of over 9.8 million Americans and contributes 8 percent of our nation’s GDP. As the United States’ economy begins to recover, changes need to be made in our tax system to allow American companies to better compete with the rest of the world. Every taxpayer understands that the current tax code is burdensome on not only individuals, but also the

businesses that provide millions with employment.

At more than 14,000 pages, the tax code and the federal regulations that accompany it have not been reformed since the Tax Reform Act of 1986. The American Tax Code and corporate tax rate encourages American companies to do business elsewhere, depriving Americans of well-paying jobs.

Some members of Congress and the Obama administration are calling for more taxes on U.S energy companies. More taxes on these industries could be detrimental. For example, Iowa energy companies alone would experience the loss of $54 million in wages and $280 million in economic production between 2011 and 2020.

I support America, along with the people and industries that work hard to keep the nation going. By passing comprehensive tax reform, Congress has the ability to support Iowans and all Americans through a thriving economy and expanded opportunities for employment and entrepreneurship. Congress should simplify the tax code and ensure its fairness by passing comprehensive reform.

public.

As for the hotline itself, calls are answered by counselors with a psychiatrist as a back-up.

All types of calls can be handled, for any age of the caller. A referral service can also be provided if a person needs further services with local providers. Follow-up calls are also done.

In some instances, a crisis plan can be developed over the phone for an individual.

“It’s a pretty full-encompassing

service,” Lerma said.

Types of calls can be job loss, depression, not having enough food in the house, upset with job and boss, upset with children or parents and breakup with a significant other.

According to Lerma, the hotline could be a preventative measure and assistance for something that starts as a minor problem and dealing with it before it leads into a full-blown depression.

“Our hope is that this will be a non-threatening way to begin a dialogue with a therapist,” she said.

BACK IN TIME The Carsons and Cockleburs took over Jackson Township

By Lynnette Davis Contributor

This is one of the variations of an old saying known to many Clarke County natives, because of the numerous descendants of early pioneer Abraham Carson.

The original homestead properties, two 80-acre tracts, purchased in 1855 and 1869 by Abraham are still in the Carson family today.

Abraham Carson was born in 1813 in Pennsylvania, the middle child of 12. His father Thomas Carson was said to have either been adopted or a runaway who took the name of Carson. He married Anna Layton after settling in Fayette County, Penn., and they spent the rest of their lives there in the area of Perryopolis.

Abraham married Elizabeth Chambers, a West Virginia native, before 1834. In 1854 they left Pennsylvania for the rolling hills of southern Iowa, first setting in Henry County for a few months.

They then set their sights on Clarke County, which had been formed only nine years before and larger scale settlement started only four years before, in 1851.

The original 80-acre government issued land of their 1855 log cabin homestead is in Section 11, Jackson Township.

Early settlers entered land at the office at Chariton at a price of $1.25 an acre. Their only method of communication was the Western Stage Company, which ran three times a week until the coming of the railroads and its dissolution in 1870.

The Carson land was located only a few miles from the town

of Ottawa, which was founded in May 1855, on land deeded from the Benjamin Coppock family.

When Benjamin and his brother Lindsey arrived in 1854, there was only one house between their land and Osceola.

The Coppocks had also been in Henry County before moving here, so it is possible the families made plans together. Members of the Carson family attended the United Brethren church at Ottawa and Methodist Episcopal churches at Ottawa and Woodburn.

Eight of the Carson children were born in Pennsylvania, the ninth and last, Caroline, was born in 1857 in Clarke County. The second and third sons, Thomas and James, served in the Civil War. Most of Abraham and Elizabeth’s children remained in Clarke County, their grandchildren numbering 50.

Asa, the eldest, married Sarah Abrams, topping the number of children at 12. Thomas married

Mary Coppock (Lindsey’s daughter) and moved to Missouri in middle age. James married Sarah Tedrow, and after her death, Martha Chambers.

Mary married Jacob Arnett.

Ellenor married John Reese (early stagecoach line driver).

Sons Ephraim and Jobe both married daughters of Rev. Jacob Delay Clark, Sarah and Martha respectively. Nancy married Daniel Johnson and Caroline’s spouse was Eli Crowl, they were Indiana residents.

Some of the families who married into the Carson line were: Chambers, Heston, Weaklend, Wiley, Powell, Waugh, Page, Porterfield, Mackey, Thornton, Penick, Phillips, Jones, Lingle.

If your family has deep Clarke County roots, there is a good chance someone in your family has ties to them.

Sources referred to besides personal family research were genealogies by Marjorie Carson and Clarke County histories.

“We don’t have to do it very often, but when we do have to do it, it’s a huge chunk of change.”

Right now, mainly money is needed at the animal shelter.

Funding will also go toward having cats and dogs spayed and

neutered, as well as air conditioning bills with the summer heat. Various things need to be upgraded.

“Thank you to everyone who helped me help the animals,” Jovee said.

“Those are huge expenditures to the shelter,” Durham said.

CCH capital campaign celebrates progress on renovations and expansion project Campaign organizers, lead donors and community members gathered at Clarke County Hospital Friday, July 31, for the “Transform Your Community’s Health care” beam-signing ceremony.

The capital campaign’s main objective is to raise $1 million to expand and renovate the hospital.

“We are excited to announce we have already raised over $810,000 toward the $1 million campaign goal, due to a $500,000 matching grant from Clarke County Development Corporation,” said Dave Walkup, campaign co-chair. “We are most appreciative of this matching grant which provides donors the opportunity to double the impact of their gifts. All gifts to the campaign will be matched dollar for dollar up to $500,000 for this important community project.”

The campaign is part of a $24 million project that encompasses 63,000 square feet of additions and renovations to the hospital.

The project additions include a new UnityPoint Clinic to accommodate more patients and practi-

tioners, new registration area with increased privacy for patients, outpatient clinic with more exam and treatment rooms, expanded specialty clinic to meet the space demands for the increasing number of specialists at Clarke County Hospital, larger Auxiliary Gift Shop located in the new lobby and new centralized main entrance, which will provide easy access for patients to all services at Clarke County Hospital.

Renovations will include a larger emergency department, new employee computer lab, business office with better accessibility and expanded telehealth services.

“Clarke County Hospital wholeheartedly thanks Dave and Janet Walkup, our capital campaign cochairs,” said Brian Evans, chief executive officer of Clarke County Hospital.

“Their hard work and determination have helped us get to 80 percent of our goal, taking us a giant step forward in making this project a reality.”

The hospital’s tax asking, which has decreased over the past decade, will

not rise as a result of the project. Funds will be provided through campaign donations and sources that include hospital revenue bonds, low-interest general obligation bonds, a CIPCO loan through Clarke Electrical Cooperative and the hospital’s cash reserves.

“We would like everyone here today to have the opportunity to show their support for this project,” Evans said. “This beam will eventually become a final support structure in our lobby.

We invite each of you to sign this beam, knowing your signature will be part of our hospital’s history for decades to come.”

Osceola resident, special guest and honorary campaign chair, Iowa Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds shared her enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing how she sees it benefiting the health of the next generation of Clarke County residents.

Reynolds was among the first to sign her name on the beam in support of the project and joined other event attendees in enjoying refreshments, touring the construction progress and viewing project renderings

of the completed project.

Gifts to the campaign may be made through the Clarke County Hospital Foundation and are tax deductible. Donors can support the campaign with one-time gifts or pledges extended over a period of up to five years.

In addition to cash or securities, gifts can include bequests, real estate, life insurance and personal property. All gifts of $1,000 or more will be recognized on a permanent, centralized recognition display.

Naming opportunities are also available throughout the new and expanded facilities. The Clarke County Hospital Foundation Board can provide a list for those interested in making a major naming gift to honor an individual or organization.

“This expansion project is 100 percent about improving the access to quality health care in our community,” Evans said.

“After experiencing many years of growth, we feel that we’ve sized this project to meet our community’s needs now and into the future.”

12 area players on all-state softball teams

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

The Osceola Sentinel-Tribune coverage area was well represented on the Iowa Girls Coaches Association’s allstate softball teams, released last week.

Clarke’s sixth-place team in Class 3A produced three allstaters, while Interstate 35’s eighth-place team in Class 2A produced a pair of all-staters.

Murray had six players from its 27-5 team that lost in the regional finals recognized in Class 1A, while Central Decatur had one all-state player in Class 3A. “I thought we’d have a good shot at two kids getting on for sure,” Clarke head coach Lindsay Diehl said. “Getting to the state tournament, sometimes gets you the opportunity to get three on all-state. I’m super pleased to have three kids representing us. They’ve worked hard to deserve that.”

Sophomore shortstop Vanessa Bakley received firstteam honors in Class 3A for Clarke, while senior catcher Kassidy Spurgin earned a second-team nod and senior

third baseman Sara Andrew received third-team honors.

Bakley hit .390 and stroked 14 doubles with one triple, two home runs and 19 RBI in 40 games this season.

She drew 16 walks and went Bakley 13-of-14 in stolen base attempts.

“Vanessa was second in our district receiving votes, so I knew she had a really good opportunity to get first team because of that,” Diehl said.

“She’s put herself on the map now for recruiters.”

Spurgin hit .282 with seven doubles, two home runs and 20 RBI in 40 games, drawing 12 Spurgin walks.

Spurgin’s leadership behind the plate, working with a pair of young pitchers, proved to be extremely valuable for the Lady

Indians this season.

“Kassidy Spurgin is a kid who’s had a huge role, but it’s been in a shadow,” Diehl said.

“She finally earned some allstate respect. I was happy to see her get on there.”

Andrew hit .322 with two doubles, one triple, five home runs and a team-high 33 RBI in 34 games Andrew for Clarke this season.

“Sara, when she was hot, she was hot,” Diehl said. “She had some times this season when she was quiet in our lineup.

But down the stretch, she was huge for us. It was actually the Solon coach who nominated her for all-state. She rightfully deserved that, because he and many other coaches feared her in the lineup.”

Central Decatur senior catcher Hallie Linhart earned second-team honors in Class 3A, after hitting .529 with 11 doubles, four triples, two home runs and 24 RBI to go with 18 stolen bases.

Murray senior third baseman Deena Snyder and eighth-grade pitcher-outfielder Breianna Klein were named to the second team. Senior catcher McKenzie Case, who missed the final eight games with a broken leg, earned third-team honors.

Because of the number of teams involved, Classes 1A and 2A also have honorable mention lists, and earning honorable mention from the Bluegrass Conference champion Lady Mustangs are senior outfielder Chellsea Jones, junior first baseman Madison Gonseth and sophomore second baseman Brandi Gilbert.

Second-team standouts Snyder and Klein were two of the primary forces behind Murray’s 27-5 season and the school’s fourth appearance in a regional final game.

Klein had a team-high .444 batting average with a home run and 20 RBI. Splitting pitching duties with another eighth-grader, Kayla Wookey, Klein was 16-2 with a 1.83 ERA. In 103 innings she struck out 136, walked 44 and allowed 67 hits with an opponent average of .153.

baseman since midway through her eighth-grade year, hit .351 with eight doubles and 18 RBI. “Deena is on second team for the second straight year after setting our school record of .488 last year,” Murray coach Danny Jensen said, “and this year she really picked up her defense with only seven errors.”

Case, the team’s senior catcher, missed the tournament run with her broken leg, but had become an important defensive and offensive member of the team prior to the injury in earning third-team honors.

“She only had one error all season and just four passed balls,” Jensen said. “She was able to handle our young pitchers very well. Along with that she hit .320 with 17 RBI at the lower end of the order.”

Among the honorable mention players, the four-

year starter Jones hit .330 with 21 RBI while making some spectacular catches in the outfield. Gonseth hit .282 with three home runs and eight doubles and 28 RBI. Gilbert batted .409 with a team-high 30 runs scored and six home runs, along with 22 RBI. Earning all-state honors in Class 2A for Interstate 35 were sophomore pitcher Carlyn Stanley (first team) and eighth-grade second baseman Kate Stanley (second team).

Carlyn Stanley hit .404 with nine doubles, one triple and eight home runs to go with 25 RBI. She also finished with a 24-10 record in the circle, striking out 307 batters in 200 innings with a 1.44 ERA. Kate Stanley hit .417 with 11 doubles, one triple, two home runs and 30 RBI. ••• OST sports writer Larry Peterson contributed to his story.

Never a goodbye

By Pastor Tom Murr

Woodburn Methodist Church

As fall approaches, I recall taking our oldest daughter to college.

It is a big step as a parent to take your child to college.

We hugged and started the drive home. I remember that drive clearly. I cried much of the way because I was thinking of missed times that I should have had with our daughter.

Oh, yes we shared many good times, but there always could have been more.

Writer C. S. Lewis tells of having lunch with a friend.

They were going to be leaving the city where they were having lunch. They both reassured each other that they would undoubtedly see each other again. They emptied their last cup of coffee and left.

C. S. Lewis watched his friend cross through the tariff to other side. When his friend was on the other side, he turned to wave. Lewis remembers his friend with a big grin shouting, “Christians NEVER say goodbye!”

That is a wonderful thought to remember. We NEVER say goodbye! There is really a great assurance in that thought. Walking with Jesus and accepting His eternal love, we never need to say “goodbye.” Walking with Jesus grants us the assurance of eternity.

Each Sunday, after joining together in fellowship singing praises to Jesus, praying together and hearing the word of God, we come to the end of the service. We are thinking getting to our cars, having lunch, and activities as we end

the worship. Mostly likely, we don’t pause and reflect on the final words that our worship leader states to us. Many churches call this the benediction.

Throughout the Bible there are a number of benedictions that can be found — just Google benediction to see. The benediction gives us support to go forth with Jesus to the new week.

Jude 1: 24 – 25 presents an often used benediction. Now to Him who is able to keep you from slipping and to make you stand unblemished and exultant before His glory — to the only God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and for all time. Amen. (Moffatt translation) As you read this benediction, it is not a goodbye! It is a joyful reminder that Jesus will be with us in the coming days. It assures us of His eternal faith in the coming time.

It assures us that He is our savior and holds glory, majesty, dominion and authority for all times.

The benediction may not be easily heard. Next time, as you finish your worship, do not let your mind wonder to other things. Hear the everlasting and eternal promise that is given to each of us as we finish the time of worship.

Remember there are never goodbyes with Jesus.

Begin the Master Gardener journey • Core training course offered from Sept. 29 to Nov. 17 THURSDAY • AUGUST 6, 2015

Become an Iowa Master Gardener by completing the core training course this fall at the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Clarke County office at 154 W. Jefferson St. in Osceola. Gardeners will learn best practices for choosing plants, designing gardens and managing pests. Classes start in September.

OSCEOLA SENTINEL-TRIBUNE

Those interested in applying for the course can contact the Clarke County Extension office. Application deadline is Sept. 4, and space is limited. The three-month course fee is $195, which includes all course materials.

“Starting this September, people can begin their journey to become a master gardener volunteer,” said Susan

munity. Upon completion of the 40 hours of volunteer service, the master gardener title becomes official and they join thousands of other Iowa volunteers.

“Master gardeners provide information and education to Iowans. They are a community resource growing vegetables for food pantries, teaching fair-goers

DeBlieck, program specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach. “The training course includes lectures on gardening subjects, from growing vegetables and fruits to designing gardens with sustainable turfgrass.”

After completing the course, master gardener trainees start their work as volunteers within the com-

about pollinators and bringing native plants back to Iowa landscapes,” said DeBlieck.

In 2014, more than 105,000 volunteer hours in Iowa were logged by Iowa Master Gardeners.

Master Gardener core training course is provided by local ISU Extension and Outreach offices on Tues-

days evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m., starting Sept. 29 through Nov. 17, and one Saturday daytime class on Oct. 10 or 24 at Iowa State University in Ames.

As a veteran of the United States Navy and Air Force, Robert “Bob” Horton, 83, has quite a few stories to tell about his life experiences.

However, Horton’s story begins in Osceola, where he was born and raised. Horton graduated from high school in 1948, and joined the Navy when he was 17, but had to wait until he was 18 to be sworn in.

After Horton completed basic training, there was no position available in the Naval Aviation Cadets for six to 10 months.

Family starts donation collection for victims of Colorado flooding

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor • ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

Imagine losing everything you had in a flood.

That’s what people in Colorado are currently experiencing with September’s flooding.

“I don’t think people really realize how devastating it is when it hits a canyon like that, because the water has nowhere to go,” said Angela Haskell of Winterset. “I know we have floods here, and it’s horrible, but we’re flatter, so it kind of disperses. There, it comes down like a wall and it just takes everything out.”

Haskell and her family are trying to help those who have lost so much by collecting canned good and nonperishable food items.

Donation boxes have been set up at Southwestern Community College (SWCC) in Osceola, Creston and Red Oak. Great Western Bank in Osceola is a drop-off site for donations, too.

Haskell is a SWCC student, and her mother Karen Samson is an Osceola resident. The family’s first load has already been driven to Colorado. A second load will be driven to the state in another week.

2013 flood In Colorado, the natural disaster began Sept. 9 with a slow-moving cold front that stalled across the state. The cold front soon clashed with warm, humid monsoonal air coming in from the south.

The result was heavy rain and intense flooding along the state’s front range from Colorado Springs north to Fort Collins.

As days went by, the situation intensified with Boulder County, Colo., being the worst hit. Flood waters have spread across a range of almost 200 miles with 17 counties affected by the disaster.

Many roads and highways have been washed out and destroyed.

At least 1,750 people and 300 pets have been rescued

Helping hands in Haiti Weston Brokaw, Sue and Kooper Brimm share story of Haitian service trip

By AMY HANSEN

OST news editor ahansen@osceolaiowa.com

“Life-changing.”

That’s how Sue Brimm, a staff member at Clarke Community High School, described her experience in Haiti this summer.

Sue was a group chaperone for a service trip her son Kooper Brimm, 15, and Weston Brokaw, 16, completed in Haiti from June 12-22.

Kooper and Weston are both members of Clarke’s FFA chapter.

The program the boys participated in was through the Sioux Central FFA chapter. They were with other students from across the Midwest helping to construct Sukup SafeTHomes, which look like grain-bin houses.

To be selected for the service trip, the boys had to answer a three-ques-

tion essay about why they should be picked to help build homes in Haiti.

Earthquake In 2010, a major earthquake struck Haiti with the country’s capital Portau-Prince near the the center of the destruction. It was estimated 316,000 people died, 300,000 were injured and 1 million were left homeless by the disaster.

Kooper said the experience was fun, but there was a lot of work to do.

“Right when we got down there and stepped out of the airport, it was really different and kind of scary, a little bit, because all you could see for awhile was just people. It’s all people,” Kooper said. “Once we got driving around, it was pretty crazy to see the rivers of Styrofoam that were Please see HAITI Page 4

Sukup SafeTHomes Sukup Safe T Homes are engineered structures suitable for all phases of recovery effort.

They can provide shelter for 10 or more people and are resistant to moisture and termites.

They are built with a double heat-shield roof and screened-in lockable windows and doors.

The design can withstand 130 miles-per-hour winds and is virtually earthquake proof.

The homes are 20-gauge galvanized steel with a 70-year life span. The sidewalls are 8 feet high and the overall structure stands 13.5 feet from floor to roof peak.

Each unit incorporates two windows and a double-roof system to deflect heat. The cost of each home is $5,700.

“We lost six people that year, so this is our way of giving back to the people who are suffering now,” Haskell said. “We may not have money to do anything financially, really, but we’re volunteering to drive the material goods out to the food banks, and also to the shelters out there.”

Recommended Recommended donations items are food, diapers, pet food and other animal supplies. Haskell said a lot of material goods and clothing have already been supplied to those in need.

She said she has been in contact with United Way and the Red Cross, and has
