Forty-five Cloverleaf 4-H'ers in the fourth through sixth grades competed at District Project Achievement this year.

Livestock show teaches responsibility
What child hasn't begged for a pet dog or cat? "I'll take care of it, I will, I will!" he or she pleads. "Pleeeeeeeeeeease? I'll feed it every day, really!" Imagine, instead, that your child wants a cow. Or perhaps a hog. Talk about not-so-cuddly. Every year, dozens of 4-H'ers and FFA members in the county purchase their heifers, steers, hogs, goats and lambs. Want a good chance to talk about responsibility with your child? ...
How are you preparing our next leaders?
What are you and I doing to give our next generation a clear path to leadership? Or what are we doing to leave them unprepared? The 25th class of the Newton Youth Leadership Institute travelled to the University of Georgia to learn about leadership last week. "You are not tomorrow's leaders.

2013 before we know it
I rarely watch TV news, partly because I rarely sit still long enough to watch any TV. I do read the news, but I suppose it's easier to read something and move on instead of dwelling on negative stories at the pace the news reporter sets. This holiday, I've seen enough bad news to last all year. I've also had more time to read the Australian news site, and to notice which American stories carry ...

"There's nothing to eat. There's nothing to drink," said Darien DeBrule, according to his mother, Kenlyn Patterson.
4-H’er gives the gift of fairness, generosity
We can count how many books a youth donated or how many hours they cleaned up a riverbed. However, I don't know how to count or measure responsibility, self-discipline and fairness, but Lizzie Teasley surely proved this year that she has mastered these skills. This Newton County 4-H'er and third grader in Mrs. Hargrove's class at Heard-Mixon Elementary is already an accomplished showman. She has owned and raised her own livestock projects since the age ...
