What COVID-19 means for your dinner tableHeadlines about dairy farms dumping milk and livestock being euthanized are a sharp contrast to empty meat cases. The novel coronavirus outbreak has disrupted the nation’s food supply chain, resulting in increased prices for panicked shoppers and major losses for Illinois farmers. 4-H woodworker shines with Sawdust Sparkles business“Measure twice, cut once,” is a rule Clinton County 4-H member Evie Ribbing knows by heart along with the 4-H pledge. What started as a woodworking project, has grown into a business new venture – Sawdust and Sparkles by E - for this entrepreneurial 12-year-old. Preparing youth is one strategy for community disaster preparednessEvery community should have plans that guide how they communicate with residents and businesses, how they encourage adoption of preventative protection measures, and how they provide access to post-event recovery resources. Mentoring World-Class CitizensTom Bates knows that the shooting sports 4-H club is about so much more than just teaching kids to safely use a gun or bow. At a state training Bates attended, someone asked how to train world-class trap shooters. Bates remembers the response almost word-for-word.“We’re not training world-class shooters. Hopefully, we are training some world-class citizens.” Illinois 4-H member leads youth STEM education effortsIllinois 4-H member Aja Capel of Urbana, Ill., is on a mission to help minority students – especially girls – consider careers in STEM.
