Drew Cochran, middle front, had his Eagle Scout board of review for Boy Scouts Troop 638. Before scheduling the board of review Drew had to have 12 required Merit Badges and 9 electives for a total of 21. His Eagle project was remodeling the City Dog Pound Building, located at the city airport. His fellow Scouts helped Drew prep the inside of the building and the grounds surrounding the dog pound. A job well done. On March 11, Cochran went before a panel of adult Scout members. He was asked a variety of questions based upon his experiences as a Boy Scout, his family and what future plans are after high school. There will be an Eagle ceremony at a later date. Shown from left are Scott Perrin (Venture Scout Leader), parents Jennifer and Terry Cochran, Eagle Scout candidate Drew Cochran, Rhonda Schmidt (Troop Committee Chair), Paul Driver (District Representative), Denis Duman (Cottonwood City Mayor) and Shari Chaffee (Troop Scoutmaster).

The former Benedict Seed Company building which is now part of the Primeland Seed Plant is in the process of being torn down. We know it is the old Benedict Seed Company as that is what the sign says just to the right of the power pole. Apparently Benedict was a grass cleaning business. The taller building to right will also be torn down. There are no plans to replace it. It had apparently outlived its usefulness. Click on the photo for a larger view.
