"I grew up surrounded by hundreds of acres of land in the mountains on the California-Oregon border. At the intersection of three mountain ranges, the region is remarkably geologically and biologically diverse […] The people who live in this area, and the people who make laws effecting it, have competing ideas, needs, and beliefs about how to interact with the land. This land and the people who live in it sparked my fascination with the natural world and determination to understand and shape it," wrote Brafford, recipient of last year's Ironstone Concours Foundation Scholarship and Agricultural Students scholarship, in her essay. "After graduate school, I plan to return to the California-Oregon border region and work with the Cooperative Extension Service, non-profit or government land management agencies, or private for-profit companies."

For more than 25 years, the Friends of the California State Fair Scholarship Program has awarded nearly $50,000 annually to California students pursuing post-secondary education. The program is a collaboration between the Friends of the California State Fair, the California Exposition and State Fair, the California State Fair Agricultural Advisory Council, the Ironstone Concours Foundation, Blue Diamond Growers and Western Fairs Association.

Local Fort Worth, Texas Company President Receive Notable Patriots Award for Military Support

Local businessman Brett Hobson, President of Hobson AC/Comfort Experts, was recently honored in September for his exceptional support of military employees. Hobson was presented with the Patriots Award by Cherilyn Heyliger, the Texas Area Chair of ESGR, Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. Read related news here.

This award is given to employers to go above and beyond in their support of employees who are active members of the military, specifically the National Guard. Hobson has always gone out of his way to support the military, especially those who work for him, and he is proud to accept this honorable award.

This award, according to its website, "reflects the effort made to support citizen warriors through a wide-range of measures including flexible schedules, time off prior to and after deployment, caring for families and granting levels of absence if needed". It is given by the ESGR, which was established in 1972 by the Department of Defense for the purpose of promoting employer cooperation of Reserve Service members.

Hobson AC/Comfort Experts employee Michael Schultz, an active member of the National Guard, nominated Hobson. When asked his reasons for the nomination, Schultz spoke of Brett Hobson's unwavering support of his military duties. For instance, Schultz told Hobson of an upcoming physical fitness test for military duty that wasn't on the schedule. Hobson simply replied, "See you when you get back.'' Shultz spoke of what a relief it was to work for an employer who respected his military responsibilities whereas previous employers did not show such understanding and support. Schultz stated, "It feels outstanding to be supported."

When handing out the award, Cherilyn Heyliger pointed out Hobson's commitment to helping both veterans and military members alike. She made note of his fairness as an employer who doesn't question when employees in the Guard or Reserves have to report for duty. She also stated that he is a firm supporter of military employees as top employees in his business. Heyliger recognized this as significant because even though it leaves a gap in his company, he is committed to making it work and offering his full support to his employees who serve their country.

Hobson spoke to his company's commitment to creating a culture that supports our military. He himself employs over 50 active duty military personnel or veterans. When asked the reason for his support, Hobson said, "From a business standpoint, our most productive employees are veterans, so it's the right business move and the right thing to do for people. We're trying to get the word out and trying to figure out ways to hire more veterans. Our military expense is the largest training budget of any organization in the world and so they come out with many of the skills that we need. We can teach them how to fix an air conditioner, but we can't teach them how to be a nice person."

There's no one more deserving of the Patriot Award and what it stands for than Brett Hobson.

Light Up To Live Foundation Gifts $35,000 to Fund Patriotic Service Dog and Donates 3rd Dog for 2020 Training

A gift of $35,000 is being made this week to the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation (PSDF) of Murietta, CA from the Light Up To Live Foundation (LUTLF) to fund a highly trained service dog for a military Veteran handler who passes a rigorous needs application process. Veterans with Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Pain or Depression are the top priority. The dog is a yellow Labrador named Lincoln.

Randall Reed, president and founder of the Light Up To Live Foundation, made the announcement with the LUTLF Board of Directors, and thanked supporters who helped raise the monies at their fundraising events held In September. "My wife Sherry and I could not be more proud of what this Foundation is doing to support the U.S. Military Veteran community in large and small ways – touching individual Veterans with the help they need to get back to their best selves after traumatic experiences."

Tom Tackett, founder of the Patriotic Service Dog Foundation, said his work with canines is incredibly rewarding as well as challenging. "It's our mission to find the ideal dog, for the ideal Veteran candidate, and make a lifelong match that will help that Veteran operate in as close to a normal lifestyle as possible." Tackett says he and his team train the specially selected service dogs for up to 18 months. When a match is made with a Veteran, that new "handler" trains for another two months to ensure the match is a good one. The dog is provided at no charge and the gift includes five years of dog food and veterinary care. Tackett is hoping to place Lincoln in the next several months with his new Veteran handler.

At this year's Light Up To Live Gala, Tackett brought Veteran Michelle Rivera and her new service dog Gentle Ben to meet the foundation's supporters. Rivera, who suffered for years with severe PTS, found the perfect match with the handsome German Sheperd who is named in memory of U.S. Army Sgt. Ben Adams. She said Gentle Ben has given her the courage and confidence to move back into society and to her normal activities and work, whereas before, she had isolated herself at home. (Click to watch video and learn more). A third dog donated by the Reeds at the same time as Gentle Ben is nearing his placement with a new handler. The curly-haired Labradoodle is named Jackel in memory of U.S. Army Sgt. Stephen Jackel. An announcement on this placement will be made at a later date. Read this for more information.

Reed also announced that he and Sherry have donated a chocolate-colored Labrador puppy named Star who is in training now at PSDF and will be the recipient of funding at the 2020 LUTLF fundraising events.
