T
merica is facing a critical
need for more leaders —
true leaders — prepared
with the skills to deal with the
problems of today and the chal-
lenges of tomorrow.
We all know a true leader
when we see one. They lead by
example, work well with others,
endure through challenges and
stick to a job until it gets done.
Many of America’s youth, how-
ever, are not prepared with the
skills they need to lead in the
most fundamental areas oftheir
lives today and their careers to-
morrow. It is a serious problem
now that will lead to a severe
leadership void in the years to
come, impacting communities
across America and nearly ev-
ery industry and sector.
Every child has the potential
to be a true leader. Yet, young
people today say they lack the
opportunities that prepare
them with the skills to lead.
Today’s youth want to lead.
A 2016 4-H National Youth
Survey on Leadership revealed
most youth (88 percent) believe
they can make a difference, they
see themselves as leaders (74
percent) and they feel a respon-
sibility to lead (73 percent).
However, only one in three
young people said they have the
skills they need to be prepared
to lead. Half of all high school
students report they are not
prepared to lead in their life af-
ter high school — for college or
career. Also, many don’t feel en-
couraged by the adults in their
lives, with more youth (86 per-
cent) saying adults recognize
the negative in their generation
than youth saying adults recog-
nize the positive. Youth say they
has something that allows you
to be a better you.
We are launching the new
4-H year with a mission, to em-
power this generation of youth
with encouragement and real
opportunities to lead. You may
think 4-H is only for your
friends with animals, but it’s so
much more. You can do activ-
ities like shooting sports, food
science, healthy living, robotics,
fashion and photography.
Look for 4-H clubs at your
school, an after-school pro-
gram, a community center, or
even on military bases or
through the reserves for mili-
tary families. In 4-H, the activ-
ities are organized by topics and
called ‘projects’ All 4-H mem-
bers must be enrolled in at least
one project. When you choose a
project, you will learn every-
thing there is to know about
that topic. You will participate
in various hands-on activities,
learn new skills, do community
service, or even make speeches
about your project
Join for $25 or less! Texas
4-H is for kids of almost any age
— grades K-2 can be in Clover
Kids. Students in third through
12th grade can be in 4-H. Con-

envelopes, code numbers and
special offers including every-
thing from a ceramic skillet to a
half-pound of pennies.
“Are you doing it again?” he
Lynn Sheffield
Simmons
THE PLACE IS ARGYLE
asked.
“Yes, I am, and if I send all
these things in, I should win
something — maybe $5 million.”
“Sure,” he laughed.
“Well, former Denton Mayor
Bob Castleberry won $10 mil-
lion dollars just for buying a few
magazine subscriptions.”
“The last time you entered a
contest, all you got was a dog
half scared to death of a pair of
scissors,” he said.
“He was sniffing my car stick-
ers and the little red Jaguar
stuck to his whiskers and I had
to cut off ... DON’T STEP
THERE!” I screamed, pointing
to the Bingo stickers.
“How long have you been
working on this?”
“I don’t know, but I’m getting
it organized.”
“Why don’t you do what your
friend Mavis did? After she re-
ceived a sweepstake application
stating, ‘You are one of our most
valued customers,’ she realized
she had been buying magazines
and entering sweepstakes for
years, and not won so much as a
piece of candy, so she quit.”
“I haven’t been doing it as
long as she did and besides, this
contest also sells other things.
Why don’t you buy me this jade
figurine? It is an elephant with
its trump up to bring good luck
and only costs $4.99.”
“It’s four payments of $4.99,”
he replied, reading the flyer.
“OK, we can get this lotto cal
for $4.99.”
‘What is a lotto cal?
Jessica Kimbro
“It’s a mini computer that
picks lucky numbers.”
“Again it is four payments of
$4.99,” he declared, looking at
the leaflets and announcing, ‘All
these contests say you don’t have
to buy anything.”
“I know, but I want to play it
safe, and besides, it’s not easy to
enter the contest if you don’t buy
something.”
Before he could protest
again, I yelled, “Hey, this says I
have A-l credit and I’ve been ap-
proved for unlimited credit.
What magazines do you want?”
“I already subscribe to the
magazines I want.”
“Me, too, but if I want to get
this mess cleaned up, I need to
buy a few.”
After selecting the ones I
thought we could use, I handed
my husband the sealed envelop.
Will you mail this in the morn-
ing?”
4-H AND YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT
need more encouragement
from adults and more hands-on
experiences that will help them
build confidence and grow
skills.
The Texas 4-H Center is
hosting Teen Retreat set for Jan.
6-8 near Brownwood. This
weekend-long program is for
youth in grades eight through 12
to learn about specific activities
inside 4-H. County agents, 4-H
specialists and the Texas 4-H
Center summer staff will be
leading the programs.
This year’s educational ses-
sions include veterinary science,
gardening, leadership and
healthy lifestyles. As always, we
will have a 4-H dance on Satur-
day night Cost is $120 for youth
or $90 for adults. Any adults at-
tending must enroll as a volun-
teer in 4-H Connect, complete
the online child protection
training in 4-H Connect and
submit a background check, al-
so via 4-H Connect
Texas 4-H is like a club for
youth ages 5-18, and it’s big! It’s
the largest youth development
program in Texas with more
than 550,000 youths each year.
No matter where you live or
what you like to do, Texas 4-H
“Yes, but don’t be disappoint-
ed if you don’t win anything.”
“I won’t, because even if we
don’t win, we’ll be busy garden-
ing organically, cooking lightly,
watching our weight, becoming
a handyman, taking pictures,
walking through fields and
streams and becoming a star.

“It’s kind of a nervousness-
inducing late onset,” he said.
A lot can happen between
the fall and spring, said Marlon
Duke, a spokesman for the U.S.
Bureau of Reclamation, which
manages multiple reservoirs on
the Colorado River.
We’re hoping to see some
good precipitation through the
winter months,” he said.
The Colorado snowpack is off
to its worst start in more than 30
years, said Brian Domonkos,
who supervises the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture snow survey
in the state.
At least five Colorado ski re-
sorts have postponed their
opening day. Unusually warm
temperatures have limited how
much artificial snow the resorts
can make, compounding the
lack of natural snow.
Still, two Colorado resorts
have opened with limited skiing
and two more are scheduled to
start this weekend. Others plan
to open before or during the
Thanksgiving holiday, said Chris
Iinsmayer, a spokesman for
Colorado Ski Country USA.
No matter how much or how
little snow this week’s storm
brings, the colder weather
should help with snow-making,
Iinsmayer said.
Water managers pay close at-
tention to the snowfall in the
Rocky Mountains because of its
direct impact on the Colorado
River, which supplies water to
about 40 million people and
6,300 square miles of farmland.
Seven states and 20 Indian res-
ervations rely on the river.

Snow off to slow start in
Rockies, delaying skiers
Autumn snow has been scarce
in the Rocky Mountains, forcing
some ski areas to push back open-
ing day and causing some ner-
vousness about how much water
will be available next spring for
the Colorado River, the lifeblood
of the Southwest
But the first significant storm
ofthe season that moved into Col-
orado, Utah and Wyoming on
Thursday is expected to bring 8
inches of snow or more at higher
elevations, forecasters said. Water
managers and climate experts say
it’s too early in the season to pre-
dict a dry winter.
“This doesn’t mean at all that
the winter is going to be dry” said
Klaus Wolter, a climate scientist
