Program Chairperson: Novella B. Froman
Speaker(s): Paul Adkins, Nikki Hansen, Haley Brown, Haley
Sullivan, James Maynard and Ryan Lester, 4-H Members
October 1-7 is National 4-H Week. There are 3,158 youth in
Pike County that are 4-H members; of this number, 1,200 demonstrated their skills by exhibiting 4-H projects. There were 174 4-H
campers during 2006; of this number 64 were low income youth who
needed assistance with paying camp fees. Four-H members are also
involved in the archery club, the KY State Fair and Life Smarts in which
they compete for championships, ribbons and cash rewards.
Novella introduced Haley Sullivan, a 5th grade student from Feds
Creek Elementary School. Haley won the Pike County and District One
competitions. Haley played a snappy tune called “Keep on the Firing
Line.” She was accompanied by her proud grandparents and mom.
James Maynard of Belfry Middle School gave his award winning
speech entitled, “My God, Your God, Our America.” James won the
Pike County and District One Communications Contest to represent our
county at the state contest held on the campus of the University of
Kentucky. James placed second in the state in his age category.
Paul Adkins, President, Haley Brown, Vice-President and Nikki
Hansen of the 4-H Leadership Council gave testimonials as to what 4H had done for them. This group of high school students talked about
their leadership roles, their communications skills and their experiences.
Paul and Nikki have been appointed to the State 4-H Teen Council.
This group of high school leaders plan and execute this state’s 4-H
leadership conference.
Ryan Lester finished up by singing “Blue Moon.” The Phelps senior
won the Pike County and District One 4-H Variety Show. Ryan also
performed his act at the Kentucky State Fair in 4-H Cloverville. He
was accompanied by his mom.
Novella called the group’s attention to the need to invest in 4-H
and become a partner in this youth development organization. Do
you know what the 4-H’s stand for? They stand for head, heart, hands
and health. The 4-H motto is “to make the best better.”

Four Avenues of Service → Vocational Service
Getting an early start on literacy
By Nina Mandell
The Rotarian
In October, Chris, a first grader who attends a program at the Catholic Enrichment Center in Louisville,
Kentucky, USA, couldn’t spell simple words. That
changed after he received tutoring from University
of Louisville Rotaractor Brian Olberz.
Olberz tutors elementary school children through
one of the center’s programs, Camp Africa Inspire.
Students get help with math, English, and study and
test skills before participating in arts projects or
African drumming lessons.
Although Olberz tries not to play favorites, he says
it’s hard not to love Chris. “We were just working
on spelling basic words,” he says. “A few months
later, we were reading books. Just to see the progress is really incredible.”
The tutors, who are college students, set a positive
example for the kids by encouraging an interest in
education. And the children often perceive the college students as cooler than some of the older
adult staff.
The kids “got a chance to learn stuff from the people I called ‘big kids,’” says Sister Patsy Guyton,
who runs the program. “[They] got to interact with
people other than me.”
Olberz, who graduated in May with a master’s
degree in political science, sees programs like
Camp Africa Inspire as the best way of securing a
promising future for kids such as Chris.
Eventually, Olberz hopes to start a program for
children that will teach them how they can improve
their communities through volunteer projects.
“There are a million different ways that people can
address social problems, but to me, there doesn’t
seem to be any better way than prevention – encouraging kids along the right path before problems begin to arise,” he says. “It would be pre-
Club Service
sumptuous to say that we as Rotaract volunteers have
accomplished this, but our work has at least been a
step in the right direction.”

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.
The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This
should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have
one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond
year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with
"f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expected to reach the stage where more
komplikated changes are possible. Governments will
enkourage the removal of double letters which have
always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al
wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the

By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as
replasing "th"with "z" and "w" with "v".

Subject: English Language
The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will
be the official language of the European
Union rather than German, which was the
other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had
some room for improvement and has accepted a 5-year phase-in plan that would
