Balance: steady state on narrow base Goal: objective A few weeks ago, I found myself having a parenting moment when I walked into the house and found one of my children playing video games. Certainly there is nothing wrong with someone checking out on occasion, however I noticed other responsibilities were beginning to be ignored.

My child denied this fact and assured me all was in good order. Not happy with the response, I pressed on and requested a list to be put on paper identifying all things that were needed for their life to be in balance. After great hesitation, I was handed a list that looked something like this: school/good grades, clean room/clothes, spend time with family, have a good relationship with God, enjoy free time, uphold a good paying job, spend time with friends, exercise/eat healthy. By asking for a list on paper, I think their eyes were opened and they began to realize they were overlooking a few things.

Feeling proud about my parenting moment, I started thinking about the balance of my own responsibilities. Humbly, I must admit my own daily routine was off (work late, eat dinner, fall asleep on the couch). Painfully, this realization led me to circle back to my child and express that I also needed some self-correction.

Reflecting on the conversation with my child, I now realize with a steady balance of one’s daily routine, time can be set aside to achieve the greater goals in one's life that will account for something on judgment day. I once read, “Many people feel as if they're adrift in the world. They work hard, but they don't seem to get anywhere worthwhile.” When I read this, I am reminded of the things I feel God has been asking me to do: visit the elderly, help kids build a relationship with God, spend more time in prayer. Please pray for me to keep a good routine and to give me strength to accomplish God’s Plan for me.

In closing, I hope you take a moment to think about the goals you want to accomplish in your life span. May my prayers bring the graces you need to achieve your daily balance and to help you to stay focused on your goals.

God Bless,

Member News | Delay of Enforcement of the Crystalline Silica Standard

HBAL Mailbox Dear friends, Thank you so much for the use of your ramp. It enabled me to get my wife, Norma, out and about and made our lives so much better. Norma passed from this life to a much better life on March 14, 2017.

Thanks also to the volunteers who installed and disassembled it. So much appreciated. God bless you all!

Dear Friends of the Food Bank, Kala is a single, working mother of a toddler boy. Ronnie is a Navy veteran working to overcome harsh effects of wartime service. Heather and her husband are dealing with a sudden job change that, at times, has made it challenging for them to put food on the table for their family of four.

Thanks to you and your gift of 4,379 pounds of food on 2/13/2017, we can provide supplemental support for these and other Southeast Nebraska neighbors who are facing hardship. If they could, we know Kala, Ronnie and Heather and her family would thank you as well.

For each dollar that comes into the Food Bank we are able to connect people with approximately three meals.

Research tells us there are over 60,000 people in our 16-county service area who are struggling with poverty and hunger issues.

Our challenges are significant, and the work we do in partnership with you is gratifying. We could not reach the thousands of people we are serving without your ongoing support. We are grateful to you and promise to put your gift to good use.

Best Regards, Scott Young Food Bank of Lincoln 8  Lincoln Business Builder

Dear HBAL, I am proud to announce the Norris SkillsUSA students for the first time in program history competed March 31st in Grand Island in the Teamworks competition. Teamworks competition is made up of a group of four students.

Our team members this year are: Makenzie Hall, Jack Wagner, Trent Helms and Brandon Garza. The team consists of a carpenter, plumber, mason and an electrician.

To start the competition the team met the night before with the judges to give a presentation on how they would work together and solve problems as they arose while building their project. Their project was to frame a mock up of a bathroom on a 4’ x 8’ platform. One side had a sink while the other had a toilet and a window. The next day the team had 8 hours to complete the mock-up bathroom.

This group came in and practiced every Tuesday night after school for 2-3 hours and also came in and practiced when they did not have school. Their hard work and extra hours paid dividends and competed brilliantly against three other schools. Two of them were career center high schools who do this in their everyday curriculum.

The Norris team placed first in the competition and have qualified to represent Norris and the state of Nebraska at the National Competition in Louisville, Kentucky this summer. This trip will cost the students and sponsor about $800 each to attend this week-long event which will include the competition, educational seminars and potentially a community service workday. Included in the cost is travel, lodging, registration, meals and special attire as well as work boots.

This was all made possibly by the wonderful generosity that you showed us last fall with the materials we purchased for our Residential Construction class. I know that next year I will have about 18 kids possibly signed up for Residential Construction next fall so I will need your help with the project again. If any of your members or HBAL would be willing to help sponsor the Norris SkillsUSA Teamworks team this year that would be awesome for these kids. Please feel free to contact me at jon.critser@nsdtitans.org or phone 402-791-0010 ext. 2245 with any questions.

Thank you for your continued support!

Delay of Enforcement of the Crystalline Silica Standard The final rule on Occupational Exposure to Crystalline Silica in Construction was published in March 2016 and became effective on June 23, 2016. Under the standard, all obligations were to start this June except for requirements for sample analysis. OSHA has decided to delay enforcement of this standard until September 23, 2017.

According to the OSHA website, “OSHA will delay enforcement of the respirable crystalline silica standard for construction until September 23, 2017, to conduct additional outreach and provide educational materials and guidance for employers.”

More information regarding OSHA’s Silica rule can be found at www.osha.gov/silica or www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3681.pdf

General Election

The General Election is May 2. Please remember to vote!

HBAL is supporting Roy Christensen, Tom Nesbitt and Brayden McLaughlin for City Council.

The election is May 2. HOMEPAC, the Political Action Committee of HBAL requested each candidate share a brief paragraph about their views of housing in Lincoln. Be sure to vote on May 2. There are six candidates on the ballot and you can vote for three!

Housing 2017 “In my opinion the most pressing economic issue in Lincoln is our housing shortage. The root of this problem is a shortage of buildable lots. The solution has two parts. First, the city needs to annex and make available more land including using lift stations. Second, we need to try to end the practice of a few developers buying up large numbers of lots and holding them. Homebuilders are one of the largest employers and housing is a fundamental driver for the local economy. It’s time we stopped walking the racehorse and let builders expand our city. Everyone will benefit.”

- Roy Christensen

“Lincoln needs more lots and more areas connected to infrastructure to have housing available for our growing population. We need to plan properly for the future so that the growth of Lincoln is not hindered by poor decision making at City Hall. Lincoln should plan accordingly to make sure homebuilders and homebuyers can receive the city services they expect. Current regulations slow down the process and create unnecessary costs for our businesses and limit the type of homes we can build, and I would look at these to make sure our city codes are up to date for current needs and examine the processes at Planning and Building & Safety to make sure the city is properly helping us get projects done.”

- Brayden McLaughlin

“If Lincoln is going to continue to grow we are going to have to find ways to streamline the process for building new homes. Without new places for people to live, we’re going to choke off the growth of Lincoln. I will do everything in my power as a City Council person to help facilitate streamlining the process for building new homes.”

- Tom Nesbitt

A Note from Your HBAL President Last month, several HBAL members took the opportunity to meet with Senators during our annual Senator Luncheon at Billy’s Restaurant. We had a great turnout with some good one-on-one conversations about our industry. I encourage you to participate in next year’s event.

Don’t forget to vote in the General Election on May 2! These elections will be for the three “at-large” City Council seats. The candidates still in the race after the primary election are incumbents Roy Christensen (R) and Leirion Gaylor Baird (D) along with Republican candidates Brayden McLaughlin and Tom Nesbitt and Democratic candidates Maggie Mae Squires and Bennie Shobe. HOMEPAC supports Roy Christensen, Brayden McLaughlin and Tom Nesbitt.

Did you know....there was only 18.3% voter turnout during the primary?

24% of registered Democrats voted compared to 19% Republicans.

Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation

Scholarship Winner Parker Willoughby

Parker Willoughby, a senior at Lincoln Southeast High School, is attending the Career Academy in the Building Construction pathway. Parker received a renewable scholarship that is worth $500/quarter for three of the remaining four quarters he has at Southeast Community College in Milford. Parker is active in Boy Scouts, does track and cross country along with working two jobs. Parker told the scholarship committee that growing up he always wanted to work on a construction site. He wants to look back on jobs and say, “I built that.”

HBAL President Matt Kleinschmit and Mark Aksamit, Chair of the Scholarship Committee, presented Parker with a certificate at the Tribute to Youth event. Mark shared with those in attendance the great opportunity we have to help those who are persuing a career in home building. “I encourage you to share about the Lincoln Home Builders Care Foundation Scholarships with future candidates who you may know or meet throughout the year.”
