DBHS student attends national 4-H summit
Mar. 30—Stallard was 2024 Lawrence County Fair princess
Allie Stallard, a junior at Dawson-Bryant High School and dedicated 4-H member, recently traveled to Washington, D.C., as part of the Ohio delegation to the Ignite by 4-H National Summit.
This prestigious event brings together high school students from across the country to explore key topics in STEM, Agriscience and Healthy Living.
Stallard was the sole representative from Lawrence County and southeastern Ohio and one of just 15 students selected from the entire state.
During the summit, she connected with peers from across the U.S. and Canada, attended Agriscience-focused workshops, and visited a farm to explore the farm-to-table process firsthand.
She also had the opportunity to hear from notable speakers, including moderator Jenna Bush Hager and astronaut Emily Calandrelli. As part of the event, Stallard collaborated with fellow Ohio delegates to prepare and present a group project on Agriscience.
A committed 4-H member for nine years, Stallard currently serves as president of the Back Road Haybalers 4-H Club. She is also an active member of the Lawrence County Junior Fair Board and Teen Leaders and was named the 2024 Lawrence County Fair Princess.
Allie's experience at Ignite by 4-H not only showcased her dedication to leadership and learning, but also highlighted the opportunities available through 4-H for youth to engage in national level education and networking.

Veteran known as ‘Cowboy Dave' brings hope to tornado survivors
LAUREL COUNTY, Ky. (FOX 56) — When disaster strikes, most people run from the chaos. Cowboy Dave runs toward it. Dave Graham, better known as 'Cowboy Dave,' is a military veteran on a mission — traveling across the country in a pickup truck and camper, bringing comfort to communities hit by crisis. His latest stop: London, Kentucky, where an EF-4 tornado tore through homes, lives, and livelihoods just weeks ago. Investigation underway after KSP trooper shoots, kills man Veteran known as 'Cowboy Dave' brings hope to tornado survivors Lancaster native hopes to put an end to 'period poverty' in Kentucky 'I move in with the community — as close to the disaster as I can,' Dave said. 'I live with them. I feel it. And they sense that. They know it's genuine.' With his trademark cowboy hat and ever-open camper door, Dave stands out. But it's his presence, not his appearance, that leaves the biggest impact. Through his nonprofit, Hearts Hurt, Cowboy Dave has responded to more than 30 major disasters, including 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Maui fires, and flooding in Eastern Kentucky. What sets him apart? He does it all on his own dime, using his military pension to fund the mission. 'People knock on my camper and say, 'Cowboy, you want to talk?' I'm like, 'Absolutely,'' he said. 'It's a military thing — you do what it takes, for as long as it takes.' Airbnb generates an estimated $590 million in Kentucky in 2024 Study shows Kentucky among the poorest states Kentucky's most misspelled word, according to study Local residents say his arrival brought an unexpected sense of calm. 'Oh, he's a character,' said Matthew Cawood, who survived the recent tornado. 'It can be pouring rain and he's out there, waving at cars and talking to everyone, saying, 'Bring your Bible or bring your beer, I'll take you either way.' He just gets people.' Cowboy Dave's work isn't about recognition. It's about restoration — of hope, of humanity, and of hearts that hurt. 'When you create life in the middle of death and disaster, people are drawn to it,' he said. 'It's been a blessing for me. But it's not about me — it's about them.' Latest central Kentucky weather forecast As long as there's a need, Cowboy Dave said he'll keep showing up. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

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.
