                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 2016

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brenda Shook and the late Scott Shook, of Guthrie Center, 
Iowa, for being selected as Guthrie County's 2016 inductees into the 
Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.
  Scott was an active leader for the Guthrie County 4-H program. He was 
known for his unwavering guidance during the 4-H Extension Office 
summer programs and was instrumental in the success of Farm Safety 
Days. For three years, he was a leader with the SESS Sport Group. An 
avid hunter, Scott believed children should respect wildlife, gun 
safety, and all the wonders of the great outdoors. Guiding members 
through livestock projects, his passion for the world of agriculture 
was the legacy he passed on.
  Brenda grew up in 4-H and was an active member from elementary school 
through her high school years. She led the U.S. Sunshine 4-H group and 
was co-leader to the Trailblazers. Brenda served on the 4-H Youth 
Committee, spending countless hours educating the community about 
agriculture while helping children prepare exhibits for static judging 
and livestock projects.
  Mr. Speaker, the example set by Scott and Brenda's efforts exemplify 
the Iowa spirit and I am honored to represent them in the United States 
Congress. I ask that all of my colleagues in the United States House of 
Representatives join me in congratulating the Shook family for their 
outstanding achievements.
