Carl Junction seniors revisit old halls in caps and gowns
CARL JUNCTION, Mo. — It's a walk to remember for some local students before they make a different walk to remember.
Carl Junction High School seniors, today, walked the halls of the buildings where they first started their educational journey, and did so decked out in their caps and gowns.

Carl Junction city leaders weigh $10 million budget
This senior walk, much like it is for many other school districts in the area, and across the country—has been a tradition in CJ for several years.
'It was really like rewarding to see, everybody was like high-fiving and cheering, and just to kind of go through our old tracks, and like see where we came from,' said Kenna Ellison, Carl Junction senior.
'I love it. It's an exciting time. I'm happy for them. I've had two that have graduated already, so I know all of the emotions that those parents are feeling, and I have one still in high school that's getting close. So, it's just—it's very rewarding to see them walk through for us,' said Dr. Gretchen DeMasters, Carl Junction Intermediate Principal.
These seniors will make their walk across the stage during graduation 5-weeks from tomorrow.
The district also reminds students and parents of no school in Carl Junction on Good Friday.

4-H clubs gather for Boissevain rally
BOISSEVAIN — A parade through town ended at the Boissevain Ag Grounds on Friday afternoon, bringing 76 children from around the region to the Boissevain 4-H Zone Rally. The parade was part of the annual event, which marked its 89th year yesterday showing a healthy heartbeat for the longstanding tradition. Bill Simpson, a local farmer, told the Sun that he tries to come down every year to support his family as they set down a path he once did. 'I got three grandsons and a granddaughter and they're all in the Boissevain beef club,' said Simpson. 'Means a lot to me … I was a 4-H member at one time too.' Simpson is a cattle producer in the Boissevain area. He said the 4-H program is a great way for his grandchildren, between the ages of five and 13, to learn skills. But it wasn't just beef clubs at the event. The rally had a musical horseback ride, as well as competitions for children that included halter classes and horsemanship. A variety of clubs from the region travelled to Boissevain for the community event. The 4-H clubs list included Boissevain Beef, the Archie Light Horse and Pony Club, Boissevain Boots 'n Bits, Boissevain Home and Hobby, Deloraine Community 4-Hers, Killarney Beef Club, Goodlands Variety, and Southwest Saddles and Spurs. While the event focuses on the kids, the stands were filled with parents and family members. Paul Bell told the Sun he has a granddaughter who rode in the musical ride. He's proud to see how she's developed, and showed up to show support. 'She's come a long way with that horse,' he said from the sidelines. 'She only started training a year ago.' Near a pen on the other side of the ag grounds, five-year-old Weston Walker blow-dried a cow named Maple Syrup. His aunt, Erin Maxwell, told the Sun he was making the cow look pretty, a part of getting ready for show and sales. It's the boy's second year of experience in 'future 4-H,' she said, a denomination for kids too young to officially join the real 4-H. When Weston turns six, he'll be able to join the beef club. 'It's good for the kids to learn stewardship of the cattle,' she said. 'Learn to care for them and what they need to do that.' Coral Meggison, who helped organize the rally, said the event is a chance to celebrate work over the year and for the kids to enjoy themselves. Mostly importantly, she said, it gives members a chance to meet others in the ag industry. 'It's mostly a fun day, but it builds on their teamwork … to come and connect with kids from other clubs, other communities,' she said. 'They make connections.' Meggison said the event went well this year. There was still a good attendance in its 89th year, with nice weather and an excellent showing from the kids, she added. Looking to the future, she said organizers are thinking of doing something special for the 90th. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha.

Young farmers shine at Bonnyville 4-H district show and sale in Cold Lake
The annual event, featuring members from the Ardmore, Bonnyville, and Beaver River Beef Clubs, began with a show at 10 a.m., followed by an awards ceremony at 6 p.m. and the livestock sale at 7 p.m. 'This is the big achievement day at the end of the year,' said Steph McMann, general leader of the Ardmore Beef Club, the group in charge of hosting this year's event. The show featured a range of projects including heifer, first and second-year cow-calf, herd, and market steer entries. The latter were auctioned off in the evening, following a buyer's dinner hosted by the Ardmore club. 'We supply a dinner before the auction for all the buyers that are interested,' McMann said. This marked the second time in recent years the event returned to Cold Lake. 'Three years ago, when Ardmore hosted, was the first year that it had come back to Cold Lake for quite a few years,' McMann explained, adding that the choice of venue made sense. 'They have a nice facility . . . it's sort of our home base.' The Ardmore club currently includes 14 members between the ages of eight and 16. 'We have Cleavers, which are little guys that don't show but are still included in the club . . . and then we have juniors, intermediates and seniors,' said McMann. Beyond raising livestock, members also engage in public speaking, community projects like Sparkle in the Park, and do charity work for the food bank. 'We're helping in all different kinds of areas, anybody within the community,' McMann said. Awards were handed out for various classes such as showmanship, grooming, and conformation. 'The awards are done based on the show during the day,' said McMann. Prizes ranged from ribbons and belt buckles to piggy banks and custom 4-H water bottles. One of the day's top honors was the Rate of Gain Award, given to the market steer with the highest daily weight gain. 'That calf was gaining in weight every single day since the day that they weighed in . . . it's a huge accomplishment,' said McMann. The winning steer was selected from a field of 54 and gained over four pounds per day. Rate of Gain Champion Market Steer was Jaycee Babb whose steer gained 4.15 lbs/day. Reflecting on the overall experience, McMann highlighted how the program fosters personal growth. 'It's a really big learning opportunity for the kids . . . They grow and learn so much respect for themselves, respect for their community.' Those interested in joining 4-H can explore clubs focused on arts, small engines, and horse projects. Newcomers are welcome to attend meetings to learn more about the clubs.

Elk Tip Toppers 4-H members volunteer at Manna Food Pantry
Jun. 5—WORTHINGTON — For 58 years, the Manna Food Pantry has been in business in the lower hall of Westminster Presbyterian Church in Worthington. The pantry has helped people get access to not just food, but personal hygiene products as well. While the food pantry serves Nobles County, some Nobles County kids are returning the favor. Three sisters — Emma, 15, Clara, 11, and Raeya Hietbrink, 8 — are volunteering with Manna and giving back to their community. The Hietbrink sisters are members of the Elk Tip Toppers 4-H Club in Nobles County. The group had previously raised money and participated in food drives for Manna, but this time the girls got to see what things look like on the other end. Linda Sanchez, the coordinator for Manna, has worked at the food pantry for 13 years. She said the pantry is feeding an increasing number of people each day, and expressed concerns about the growing number of people who struggle with food insecurity. "A lot of that is due to the rising cost of groceries," she said. "Our costs go up just as much as everybody else that goes to the grocery store. So, our fundraisers are really important to us." While the cost of groceries has increased, so have the donations the food pantry has received. Their largest fundraiser of the year, the March Food Campaign, met and surpassed the pantry's goal. "That was a real blessing to the community," Sanchez said. She explained while they only have one food campaign a year, the pantry accepts donations throughout the entire year, whether it be monetary or product donations. Right now, a necessity is fresh produce. "If anybody wants to donate fresh produce, we would love it," Sanchez said. "We always like to have fresh produce on hand." The pantry focuses on keeping healthy items stocked. Sanchez shared they don't carry a lot of less healthy foods such as Hamburger Helper or sweetened cereals, unless they are donated. The pantry is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and is always looking for volunteers to help. Once a month members of the Trojan football team come in and help unload the supply truck. The Hietbrink sisters volunteered at Manna last year and found it to be a fun experience. "So we came back," Emma, who has been involved in 4-H since she was in kindergarten, said. She also shared that their club raised and donated $500 to Manna last year. "Some people donate food, but you can also donate money," Emma said. "Part of 4-H is helping people." Being a member of the 4-H club comes with responsibilities and expectations to give back to the community. Emma explained, "There's four H's. Head, heart, hands and health. And this is the part of our hands. We help people in our community." When community members walk through the pantry, the girls tell them how many items they can receive and help them as though it were a little grocery store. Emma said it is easier for the younger kids to do this type of community service work, rather some of their other projects, such as landscaping. "It's a more funner experience to help other people," Clara said. Emma works with livestock all summer showing her sheep, goats and cattle. She wants to be a veterinarian one day. Her sisters also work with livestock, but create a lot of crafts as well. Clara said she wants to be a farmer when she grows up and Raeya has plans to follow her oldest sister's goal to become a veterinarian.
