The Whitehurst Diaries: Raccoon Saga In which Sharon sends a welcome update on Willis the Cat, plus a host of new backyard wildlife. By Sharon Whitehurst Late in winter, when days began to lengthen and the sun grew warmer, we realized that a pair of raccoons were becoming regular visitors. A tray of kibble is kept on the front porch for the barn cats, Willis and Sally. Often, just after dark, we heard the rattle of the tray as the raccoons enjoyed an evening snack. In May, it became obvious that Mamma Raccoon was nursing kits. We began putting out leftovers and scraps of food for her to eat. Pappa Raccoon didn't hang around for long. He sometimes came in at dusk to eat from the bowls at the foot of the porch stairs, then bumbled off. Willis the Cat, who oversees the dooryard and outbuildings, didn't challenge the coons, but kept a strict lookout, sometimes perched on the bench above the porch feeding dishes, sometimes lounging a few yards from the bowls on the gravel.

4-H Youth development volunteers reap many benefits National 4-H Week is October 2-8, 2022. This year's theme is Opportunity4All, shining a light on access and equity for all youth. Young people have power, and 4-H believes that every young person has valuable strengths and real influence to improve our world. By: Tony Rose, Agent for 4-H Youth Development Adair County Extension Office Kentuckians of all ages gain enormous satisfaction and other benefits by volunteering to deliver 4-H Youth Development programs in their communities. Teenage volunteers usually are older 4-H members. Volunteering helps teens gain more confidence, improve communications abilities and develop life skills. Youth volunteers do better in school, learn about career options, and sometimes develop new career goals. Those involved in community service consistently show improvement in mathematics and reading scores. Youth volunteers also better understand governance and the inner connections in the community, help identify local issues, and feel empowered to take action against these situations in partnership with others.
