Iowa Supreme Rudolph roundup Court agrees to Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer shares his holiday story hear CCRC appeal

CCRC news

The Iowa Supreme Court has agreed to hear the appeal filed by local Clarke County landowners against Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC).

The appeal is about if CCRC has the right to the power of eminent domain with its ongoing reservoir/ watershed project. Eminent domain is the government’s power to take private property for public use by a state.

The appeal could have been heard by two different legal entities — the Iowa Supreme Court or District Court of Appeals.

“They (Iowa Supreme Court) have decided to keep it here themselves,” said Dave Beck, project coordinator for CCRC’s watershed project.

Reservoir project CCRC’s ongoing reservoir project in northern Clarke County could provide a water supply for Osceola and Southern Iowa Rural Water Association (SIRWA) with an 816-acre lake, which could provide 2.2 million gallons of water per day.

West Lake, the current water source, doesn’t meet the needs of Clarke County and SIRWA. The total project cost for the reservoir in the CCRC reservoir project is estimated at $37.6 million. Funding for the project includes many sources, especially funding from the local-option sales tax.

If you have been regularly attending Clarke County Reservoir Commission (CCRC) meetings, here is some important new business.

The CCRC has approved the change of its monthly meeting to 9 a.m. on the third Thursday of the month. The next CCRC meeting is scheduled for Jan. 15.

On April 8, Judge Sherman W. Phipps of the Fifth Judicial District of Iowa ruled CCRC’s ongoing Squaw Creek Watershed project is for a public use, public purpose or public improvement as defined in the Iowa Code.

Therefore, CCRC may use the power of declaratory judgment and eminent domain in the reservoir project.

Declaratory judgment is a court review for acquiring land for a public project. It authorizes CCRC to purchase land from voluntary sellers and exercise eminent domain for involuntary sellers within the area of the watershed project.

An appeal from local landowners was filed May 6 in Clarke County Courthouse on the judge’s ruling in the Please see IOWA SUPREME COURT, Page 4

Last holiday season, the Osceola Sentinel-Tribune (OST) ran an interview with Santa Claus. In keeping with the spirit of tradition, this year, the paper has interviewed the famous Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Here’s an exclusive look into one of the world’s most iconic reindeers.

(Side note: This article was translated into English from reindeer speak).

OST: What’s it like guiding Santa’s sleigh on Christmas Eve? Rudolph: It’s an honor to be the first eyes on the scene when traveling from house to house, country to country that night. Santa and the other reindeer trust me to steer them in the right direction so we can make sure all the girls and boys wake up to their holiday toys on Christmas day.

OST: How do you prepare for the long night ahead?

Rudolph: The reindeer try to be in the best shape possible come the end of December. We’re on an exercise routine that includes a lot of cardio and building up our strength and stamina. There’s also some Cross Fit training in there, too.

OST: Why does your nose get so red?

Rudolph: It was just the way I was born. The way I look at it, everybody has something unique about them, and that’s what makes them special. However, while my nose glows red all the time, it’s really the cold temperatures that really make it bright. Doesn’t your nose turn red when you’re out playing in the snow for a long time?

OST: Oh yeah, it most definitely does ... so, how well do you get along with the other reindeer?

Rudolph: We really are like one big family. Does that also mean we bicker and squabble sometimes? Sure it does, that’s what families do. But, each reindeer brings something important to the Christmas cause. Cupid is really good at making sure everybody gets into the spirit of holiday love and cheer at the North Pole. Comet is really into the scientific process of going around the world in one night. Dancer is in charge of songs and holiday entertainment, and the list goes on and on.

OST: What’s it like living at the North Pole?

Rudolph: Haha, there’s no getting around this one — IT’S COLD! But, Santa and the elves are very good at making sure we are well taken care of. The North Pole has a huge, heated barn that we live in. We have all the

There are a lot of reindeer games for us to play, too. Plus, how often do you get to hang out with Frosty the Snowman? He shows up from time to time to visit.

OST: How about a few fun questions now? What is your favorite type

of cookie?

Rudolph: Well, I should say that reindeer enjoy being left carrots outside to eat on Christmas Eve. It helps us with our eyesight. Reindeer like Please see RUDOLPH, Page 4

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To anyone interested in the health of Clarke County

By Marcia Blain

Healthy Clarke County/Clarke County Public Health

I recently shared some of the information from the “2014 County Health Rankings and Road maps” with those in meetings or discussions on the health of Clarke County.

The news was not so good. For example, did you know Clarke County fell 70th in the health outcomes overall and in the highest rank for health factors in Iowa?

To make matters worse, last week it was reported on the news that Iowa moved from 18th to 24th in the Healthiest State Initiative. Please go to www.countyhealthrankings.org/iowa and and enter “Clarke” in the county bland for more details on specific factors and information. There’s some good information that should be of interest to everyone.

There is movement (no pun intended) in our community to change things for improvement through physical activity and nutrition to see these bad numbers improve.

We’ve got to take a hard look at increasing obesity, young and old, diabetes, young and old, BP and related diseases including premature death, young and old and life styles (tobacco use, social isolation, physical inactivity, unemployment, to name a few).

Many of these factors are preventable or can be controlled if or when we chose to do something about them.

But folks, it takes a village. We finally have new trails available with more planned, sidewalks to schools that will be started to encourage walking, biking, enjoying nature and getting folks outside and socializing.

These projects are hard earned and worked on by city organiza-

tions such as CCDC, IPDH, CC Public Health, Healthy Clarke County, SICOG and Osceola City Council. It’s hard to imagine the work that goes into developing large projects from planning, grant writing and obtaining the monies needed, to implementing until you’ve been there and helped make it happen.

To the point of this, if you care about your home town health, your help is needed.

In November, Healthy Clarke County Coalition (HCC) learned the Southern Iowa Council of Governments (SICOG) is partnering with the HCC, members of the Osceola community, CC Public Health and the Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) to identify and implement strategies to make the Osceola community a healthier place to live.

Up to $10,000 is available from IDPH with which to implement wellness strategies identified throughout this asset-based approach to community development.

HCC became the steering committee for SICOG who facilitated a community planning and asset mapping session Dec. 11 with the public invited to attend and participate in helping guide Osceola through an action planning process to identify nutrition and physical activity strategies and determine how you desire the IDPH grant funds to be spent.

This meeting provided an awareness of the assets Osceola already has to build on: Four lakes, parks, skate park, pool trails, disc golf course, basketball courts, tennis courts, multiple fitness gyms, farmers’ market, food co-op, restaurants serving healthy food, food banks, to mention just some of the things we are proud of.

The main problem is how to

improve upon them, and more importantly, get our community using them. Your ideas, thoughts and participation is needed.

What would work to get you and yours to be more healthy?

Less obesity and related disease? Less diabetes and related disease? Less tobacco use and its related disease? Less junk food contributing to energy loss, disease and brain poor performance?

And here’s the disappointing part: Attendance (interest?) at these meetings has not been a very healthy reflection of caring for our community.

Awesome things are happening, but only because of a few dedicated people who are working hard to make things healthy for all of us.

It was disappointing to see only three people attend the city council meeting after a wide notice went out to many to come to encourage and thank them for the actions for the first segment of the Safe Routes to School project.

It would have been great for everyone who has concerns about their children walking or biking from the square up Shaw Street to the middle/high school to soon have a safe sidewalk to go to school or walk with their family to have. Think of the physical and social benefits getting outside and moving will provide.

You can help make us all healthy. The next HCC meeting facilitated by SICOG is 5-7 p.m.

Jan. 8, with light snacks served, location to be announced. We will continue brainstorming ideas that will lead to plans for physical activity and nutrition to use our money for the health of our community.

Please, show interest and come be a part of it.

I grew up dreaming of spending my days on the farm. As a boy growing up in a small farming town in central Mississippi, I idealized my grandfather and uncle who were local farmers. Happiness in my 12-15 year old mind was spending every day on a tractor, combine or cotton picker.

However, my career and calling led me in a different direction.

In October 2005, my wife and I accepted an appointment in Des Moines, Iowa. We moved into a new house in one of the crowded new subdivisions where we lived 16 feet from our furthest neighbors. We lived there for seven years without learning any of their names. We tried, but they did not want to be bothered. I would clean their driveways with my new snow blower but never even a wave.

Two years ago, my wife and I bought a 40 acre tract of land in northeastern Clarke County. My dream of living on a farm, be it ever so small, was about to come true. We moved a new mobile home on the land, because of my extreme impatience, but we had no permanent driveway, no carport and no garage. To say the least we were not ready for that first winter. But my neighbors were.

IOWA SUPREME COURT: Continued from Page 1

CCRC court case.

The case had the direct possibility of ending up before the Iowa Supreme Court, which is what is now going to happen.

However, the CCRC has the power to purchase land during the appeal process. Purchase agreements from local landowners are currently being worked out.

Iowa Supreme Court process According to Beck, the legal no-

We had not gotten moved in completely before we began to meet our neighbors, most of whom live close to a mile away.

When our first big snow fell and evening had come, I heard a strange noise outside and lights were shinning into my windows.

It was my neighbor clearing my makeshift driveway with his sideby-side so I could get out for work the next day.

I went out to help and he said “get back inside, it is cold out here. I’ll finish up.” On our next snowy night, my neighbor spent an hour helping me dig my car out of my snow-packed ditch. The next spring, one of my daughter’s dogs, which lived at our house, was hit by a car. My neighbor and his wife spent a great deal of the day helping us look for her.

When we found the dog and told my daughter the dog had been hit, my neighbor and his wife had to come console her.

Then, I decided I would buy some hay equipment and begin my adventures in farming, of which I knew (know) nothing about.

I did not know the rules of land leasing (spoken or unspoken) much less what it meant to “do it on halves,” but I forged ahead.

Then, I bought horses and goats and my fences were terrible.

Needless to say, these said horses did not always eat from my

tice the CCRC received said a court order would be issued within about 30 days, mostly likely by early January, to set a court date for the appeal.

However, since the legal process takes a lot of time, an actual court date for the appeal probably won’t be scheduled with the Iowa Supreme Court until 2016, or late 2015 at the earliest.

“It would probably be one to two years before we’re actually in court for presenting the case,” Beck said.

to indulge in sugary sweets, though.

My personal favorite is chocolate chip, but I am partial to sugar cookies with holiday frosting.

OST: Do you have a nickname, Rudolph?

Rudolph: Red Rudy, that’s what my closest friends call me.

OST: You sound like a very smart and well-educated reindeer. Tell me, do reindeer have to go to school?

Rudolph: Oh yes, I graduated from NPHS. That stands for North Pole High School, but I can’t say when because that will reveal just how old

I am. I can reveal it’s the spirit of Christmas that keeps all of us here in Santa’s village young and energetic as the years fly by.

OST: What was your hardest subject in reindeer school?

Rudolph: It’s just like the famous song says, “You’ll go down in history.” A’s in almost every subject but history. I got C’s in history, which is funny because I’ve been around for a long time.

OST: Well, it has been wonderful talking to you, thank you so much!

Rudolph: And you! Merry Christmas everybody!

be allowed on the sidewalk, and the answer was yes.

“I think the purpose of the wide 6-foot sidewalk was to accommodate pedestrian traffic and bicycles,” Wheeler said.

Funding The sidewalk project is a city project being funded primarily by a Wellmark Foundation grant. Clarke Community Development Corporation (CCDC) also helped to match the grant.

“I just want to say that I’m really excited about this,” said Bill Trickey, executive director of CCDC. “It’s pasture but my neighbors nev- our first leg of many legs of the Safe er complained.

years, and I didn’t think we’d ever get it done. … I think it’s going to speak volumes for our community.”

Construction will start during the beginning of construction season of next year, most likely during the early spring.

Walking helps Councilman Dr. George Fotiadis discussed how he has been focused on walking as a means of transportation for more than a decade.

“It’s something that’s just surprisingly refreshing to do mentally, as well as physically,” he said. “You can clear your head. You can plan your upcoming day. Just something that I wonder — if kids sometimes, especially if they use it to get to school — I wonder if sometimes kids can relearn how to do that.”

CCH Foundation receives $500,000 CCDC matching grant number of patients,” said Brian Evans, chief executive officer at Clarke County Hospital. “The expansion will alleviate immediate needs for clinical space and plan for community growth for many years to come.”

Clarke County Hospital’s shortage of clinical space has not deterred the quality of patient care. In 2014, Clarke County Hospital received top honors: • Top 20 critical access hospital in the U.S. for best practices in quality • Guardian of Excellence Award for patient experience in the emergency department • Excellence in patient care for a third consecutive year • Top 100 Iowa workplace for a third consecutive year Similar CCDC grants have funded other projects within Clarke County. A grant for Clarke Community Schools provided iPads for every attending child in the district. Murray Community Schools received a grant to supply students with Google Chromebooks, laptops with an app-based operating system.

“We are very excited for this grant, and I genuinely thank the CCDC for their generous support,” Evans said.

Christmas hope

By Chuck DeVos

Lead Pastor LifePoint Church

When man landed on the moon, that was big news. The whole world stopped to watch Neil Armstrong’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. And as big as that event was, it still doesn’t compare to the news that God landed on the earth. At Christmas, we’re celebrating the birth of Jesus, and it was at His birth that God came to Earth.

Jesus didn’t start in the stable. That’s where He made His arrival on earth, but He existed even before Creation. The Apostle John wrote one of our Gospels and he said: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (John 1:1, NIV) So Jesus, who was and is God, has existed from the beginning. And He chose to leave heaven and come to live among us for a while. But why would God do things this way? Someone answered that question this way: If God had wanted to communicate with dogs, He would have become a dog. If He wanted to communicate with birds, He would have become a bird. But God wanted to communicate with people, so He became a person.

Jesus came in the middle of the night in a stable in Bethlehem. He grew like us. He wore diapers. He spit up on Joseph. He got “owies.”

I don’t know if middle-eastern people deal with acne much, but if they do, Jesus probably had pimples. And get this, the scriptures tell us that He was tempted like us.

Jesus experienced the same pressures that you and I do, the same temptations and desires, but He never gave into them. All of this is important because it means Jesus can relate to you and me when we struggle with temptations.

Jesus felt pain and disappointment. He became tired and lonely. He grieved, He cried, He was human. Jesus became what we are, so we can know Him and know God. As we’re approaching Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we can’t forget that Jesus didn’t stay in the manger. He went to a cross and voluntarily laid down His life for me and for you.

HOPEVILLE

And He did it for two reasons. First, to demonstrate God’s love. It’s one thing for someone to say they love you, but it’s an entirely different thing for them to demonstrate it. The second reason was to pay for our sins.

Sin separates us from God and there’s no way we can cross that divide by ourselves.

So our sins have to be paid for.

Since we can’t do it, because we’re not perfect, Jesus went to the cross to pay our debt of sin for us. And because He did, we can be completely forgiven for everything we’ve ever done wrong. That’s the reason for Christmas.

Jesus came to be the savior of the world. If we didn’t need a savior, God wouldn’t have wasted all the effort to send one. The very fact that Jesus Christ did come to Earth, gave up all the glory of heaven, became a human being, was born as a little baby, grew up to be a man with pressures and temptations like our own, and then died on a cross and was raised from the dead means you and I definitely need what God has to offer. Otherwise, He wouldn’t have wasted all that energy.

So baby Jesus in the manger isn’t the whole story, and the cross of Jesus isn’t the end of the story because three days after He died, He rose again. He came on a mission to bring you and me home to God the Father. That’s the reason for Christmas.

We have hope because of a risen Jesus. But Jesus doesn’t rise from the dead if He doesn’t die. And Jesus doesn’t die if He doesn’t live. And Jesus doesn’t live unless He’s born. And the birth of Jesus is what we celebrate at Christmas.

Without Christmas there is no Easter and without Easter there is no hope — which means that Christmas was more than the birth of Jesus as a baby, Christmas is the birth of hope for all mankind.

Wishing you and yours the most wonderful Christmas!

Members shared the opening ritual, followed by the presentation of the president general’s message by Cynthia Barbour of Van Meter. The national defense report by Jane Briley of Creston was about Van T. Barfoot, the man who wouldn’t take the flagpole down on his Virginia property.

Minutes from the Nov. 8 meeting were read by Theresa Bahniuk of Lamoni and approved. The treasurer’s report was presented by Bonnie Riepe of Afton. No new bills were presented.

Committee reports were presented. The American Indian moment by Elaine Brown of Kent was a Cheyenne proverb.

The conservation moment

by Judith Wachter of Afton reminded to recycle all the materials discarded this holiday season.

The Constitution moment by Cindy Barbour of Van Meter stated the Constitution of the United States has endured and

set an example for other constitutions around the world.

The Flag Moment by Dorothy Hughes of Mt. Ayr stated an amendment to the Department of Defense rules requiring that all flags they purchase must be 100 percent American made, including ink and fabric.

There was an anonymous donor who covered the cost of stamps for those veterans on the list who live a distance away. Marjorie Kinkade also asked for photos of special activities we participate in, so she can print them in the newsletter. She feels this will help our members living far away feel more connected to the Nancy McKay Harsh Chapter.

It was also suggested that they send photos so the chapter may keep in touch with them.

Jane Briley also announced a family bible school called “The Miracle of Jesus,” which will be held the evenings of Dec. 29 and 30 at 6pm at the Creston United Methodist Church.

Indians compete well at only home meet

By SCOTT VICKER

OST sports editor • svicker@osceolaiowa.com

Clarke hosted its only home wrestling meet of the year here on Dec. 18.

The Indians went 0-3 in their three duals, but competed well against both Knoxville and Central Decatur.

Clarke lost a 39-31 dual to Knoxville and fell 45-33 to Central Decatur, before ending the night with a 51-27 loss to defending state champion Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

In the loss to Knoxville, after Clarke won matches at 106, 113 and 120 pounds, the Indians trailed just 33-31 and could have won the dual with a win of any kind by Landon Spurgin at 126 pounds.

Spurgin came up short in the match, losing by fall to Joe Hollinrake in 44 seconds.

One of the highlights of the night for Clarke came earlier in the dual, when Isaac Lewis found himself in a bad position on his back near the end of the second period of his match against Travis Poffenbarger.

Just when it looked like Poffenbarger was about to win by fall, Lewis flipped over and put Poffenbarger to his back, pinning him right at the end of the period.

Junior Morales won an 8-3 decision at 138 pounds in the dual and Gable Reece picked up a 14-6 major decision at 160 pounds. At 113 pounds, Ian Showers pinned Ben Wooldridge in 3:59.

Central Decatur won the first six matches of its dual with Clarke, five of which were by fall, before Lewis won by forfeit to end the string of Cardinal victories.

Nathan Bair was involved in a close match at

182 pounds with state-rated Trenton Wells. Wells won a 4-3 decision, but Bair was close to earning the tying point several times in the final period.

Clarke reeled off five straight wins from 285 pounds to 126 pounds, with two forfeits and a pair of pins from Showers at 113 and Brock Brokaw at 106. Parker Hardy won a 4-2 decision at 120 pounds.

Bair won an 11-6 decision at 182 pounds over Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont’s Austin Angle.

The only other contested match that Clarke won against the Rockets came at 152 pounds, as Francisco Pedro pinned Ryan Henkle in 3:59.

Roadrunners pull away in Reinforcements on the third quarter for POI win way for Lady Indians

​ OUNT AYR — InterM state 35 used a 22-11 advantage in the third quarter to post a 55-47 Pride of Iowa Conference victory here Friday against Mount Ayr. In a game that featured a total of six sophomores who started, it was a pair of Interstate 35 sophomores who sparked big runs for the Roadrunners.

After Mount Ayr cut the Roadrunner lead to 28-26 early in the third quarter, sophomore guard Slye Richardson knocked down three 3-pointers in the first four minutes of the third quarter, as the Roadrunners expanded their lead to 41-26.

Cheyenne Hiatt also hit a shot from the wing off a pass from Gracey Griglione and Caylin Brommel banked in a shot for Interstate 35 during the run.

“Third quarter was our best quarter of the year, execution wise,” Interstate 35 head coach Jamie Smith said.

Interstate 35 started the game on a 16-8 run through the first quarter, as Griglione scored all 16 points for the Roadrunners.

jumpers, knocking down a pair of 3-pointers and hitting two free throws.

“I thought Gracey had one of the best first quarters offensively as I have seen a high school kid have,” Smith said. “On top of that, her teammates found her.”

But Mount Ayr came fighting back in the second quarter.

The Clarke girls basketball team has seen its fair share of adversity throughout the first half of the season, as the Lady Indians enter the Christmas break with an 0-9 record.

“This year, I’m struggling to come up with a word that describes the first half of this year,” head coach Eric Zoske said. “It’s indescribable how this year has gone.

“These girls, they’ve done a really good job of not making excuses. They’ve overcome, or gone through more adversity than any other team I’ve been a part of. They’ve gone through this with their chins up and just wanting to get better.

Really hope in the second half we have some wins coming our way.”

After finishing the first half of the season with just seven healthy athletes, Zoske can take comfort in the fact that reinforcements are on their way once the new year begins.

Junior Maddi Heath, who has missed the entire season up to this point while recovering from injuries suffered in a car wreck, has been cleared to return to the team and will likely play in the first game of 2015 on

Jan. 5 against Mount Ayr. “She’ll have some jitters and some adrenaline flowing and nerves getting on the court,” Z o s k e s a i d . “ W e ’ l l Heath work her in at an appropriate level.

She is a little behind as far as our offensive sets go.

She’ll have to work hard here before Jan. 5 to get comfortable.

“Regardless of whether Maddi knows our plays or not, we’ll be better with her on the floor. It was nice, just having her there was a calming feel for everybody.

Her determination to get on the court is a lesson learned by all of us, myself included.

Really proud of Maddi for what she’s overcome.”

Heath’s return to the point guard position will lessen the burden on sophomore Vanessa Bakley, who has played point guard the past several games while Sydnee Redman has been out with an MCL sprain.

Zoske had hoped for Redman to be cleared in time to play in the Jan. 5 game, but said she still has a way to go in her recovery before being cleared. Freshman Chynna Beydler, who suffered a se-

vere concussion during preseason practices, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

Another freshman, Hannah Moore, has been out with illness for the past several games.

“Obviously I would want all of them to be on the basketball court,” Zoske said.

“But their health is a lot more important than suiting up for a basketball game.

If they’re Zoske healthy, we’ll take them. If not, we’ll do our best with out them.”

One positive of the team’s struggles with depth early in the season, Zoske said, has been that several of the freshmen players have received more playing time than they would have otherwise.

“One girl I’m really proud of this year, that has stepped in and has done more than I’ve planned on this year is Sydney Sickels,” he said. “She’s provided us a lot of minutes these past five or six games. She’s not the greatest offensive player, but she’s one of the best fullcourt defensive players we have. That’s nice to see out of a young freshman.”

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.

by air and ground.

So far, eight people have died and six are still missing. Damages from the natural disaster are estimated at more than $1 billion.

1976 flood Even though Haskell and her family are a couple of states away from the flooding in Colorado, the situation still hits close to home for them. They are collecting items in memory of family members who died in the July 31, 1976, Big Thompson Canyon flood in Colorado.

The Big Thompson flood is Colorado’s deadliest flash flood in recorded history with 143 deaths.
