Nevada’s Cooper named conservation teacher of the year Nevada High School teacher Kevin Cooper was named Conservation Teacher of the Year at the Iowa Soil and Water Conservation District Commissioners 73rd-annual conference on Monday, Aug. 20, at the Gateway Hotel and Conference Center in Ames. The award program included a short biography about Cooper. Cooper also is Nevada’s FFA advisor as well as a landowner and farmer. Because he is so immersed in the world of agriculture, he is able to provide his students with opportunities to take field trips and see conservation practices such as interseeding of oats into soybeans to provide a cover crop, riparian buffer strips, waterways and terraces. He provides his students the chance to see just how important soil conservation and water qualify is by sharing yield data from his 12 years of no-till farming, his experience with the CSP program and even water samples taken from his farm for analysis. Because soil is one of our world’s most
important resources, his students also learn how to use the word “soil” and not dirt. Kevin proudly shows his hard work and conservation practices to not only his students but to thousands of people by boasting his “No Till Soybean” sign right off of a busy highway, letting people see conservation at work.

Ruth Buckels, of YSS, described human trafficking currently infecting the social fabric of our society to the members of the Town and Country Kiwanis Club at a recent meeting. She described boys, girls, and even men and women, being victims of the milady. Human trafficking is being promoted by the internet where buyers and pimps select the wanted gender including color of hair and eyes, as well as the expected “services,” cost and payment.
Victims are trapped into this lifestyle by reason of emotional or financial need. It is thought to occur here in Ames. Tools needed to resist human trafficking include responsible adults building relationships with victims in neighborhoods, and schools and churches enabling them to see a way out. Also, individuals should seek and
provide education and encouragement to combat this lifestyle. The Kiwanis Mission to “… help kids around the world …” seems uniquely suited to assist with this social tragedy. If you see something, say something. Call 911 in an emergency. Call Iowa Victim Services Call Center at 1-800-770-1650 or text “help” to 20121.
