  1. The organizer solicited youth enrollment and described a home-study component, classroom work, and a planned field day; the later October follow-up and newspaper report control the completed-course results.

  2. Organizer reports 16 signed up, 15 attending the field day, and all 15 passing; a follow-up from instructor Ron Svoboda thanks volunteers. This first-party and instructor follow-up corroborates the newspaper result, though it is not a state certification ledger.
