Thankful for our community
They may just give Dasher, Dancer, Vixen and Rudolph a run for their money. The Newton 4-H rein-lambs and the 4-H'ers leading them had such a great time leading Santa into the Square, I think they may be challenging the original reindeer to a few reindeer games. I'm one of those folks who doesn't think we ought to start Christmas too early, but somehow Thursday night didn't quite seem like Christmas. Seemed a little more ...
Here comes Santa Claus
Did you know Santa Claus accepts e-mails, text messages and even tweets these days? I guess visiting him at Rich's or sending a snail mail letter isn't so popular any more. Or maybe with the world population nearing 7 billion, he had to find more effective ways to accept messages. Either way, we're pretty lucky that he and Mrs. Santa still visit Covington in person. Our 4-H'ers are very excited to get the honor of ...
Books for the learning center
I knew my cousin's kids were smart, but the 1-year-old reading a phone book this week really surprised me.Okay, okay, I guess she wasn't really reading it, because she eventually crawled on the couch with me, gesturing for me to read it. I think she's trying to give me the hint that she needs even more books for Christmas, unless I'd like to keep reading lists of names.
4-H 4-Ever: To the heartland and back with 4-H
I'm writing this on the van ride home from Omaha, so by the time you read this I hope to be catching up on my sleep in Georgia.
4-H 4-Ever: Time flies when you’re having fun
If time flies when you're having fun, I must have had a lot of fun the last year. It sure doesn't seem like that long since last year's National Association of Extension 4-H Agents meeting in Phoenix, when I visited the Grand Canyon. As you read this, I'll be exploring Omaha, Neb., before the conference begins, or recuperating from the 1,028-mile ride. Yes, you read that right: 1,028-mile ride. Seven 4-H professionals are saving a ...
A call to leadership for 10th and 11th graders
Do you know a sophomore or junior in high school who shows leadership potential? Maybe she's a student working at your business, and she always goes that extra step around the job. Perhaps he's volunteered on projects in your civic organization or church and you notice he's always interested in being involved. These students are probably active in school or community organizations, but may or may not be officers. She has a good work ethic ...
Kimble: Thank you for joining the green revolution
"Wow, that's the best project I've ever seen!" said a third grader at Oak Hill Elementary on Friday, eyes wide and a huge grin across his face.
4-H volunteers change the world
They spent the night in one-room cabins with fifth and sixth grade campers. Some spent a week on the beach with middle school students or tubed down the river. Others taught teens and preteens how to be better shoppers. Some shot pheasants to raise funds for 4-H. Several taught youth gun safety and marksmanship. Last year more than 200 adults used their talents to be superheroes for Newton County 4-H'ers. "Without the volunteers, we wouldn't ...
Practice before play for 4-H brothers
"My dad says, 'practice, and then you can play,'" said third grader Luke Wallace. Luke said that is how he knows that the lamb show comes first this Saturday at the Georgia National Fair in Perry. Then he and younger brother Nathan are looking forward to the rides. Nathan is the youngest 4-H'er in Newton County this year as a first grader in Ms. Lindsey's class at Mansfield, and Luke, in Ms. Jones' class, is ...

Join my green revolution with National 4-H week
Happy National 4-H Week! Join our green revolution as we celebrate our first 4-H superheroes, founders GC Adams and PD Johnson. Superintendant Adams began the Covington Boys' Corn Club in 1904, with the first contest held in the historic courthouse in October 1905. Johnson, a teacher at Washington Street, hosted boys and their fathers at a corn demonstration garden. By the following year corn clubs were sprouting all over the southeastern United States, and before ...
