Helping Children Cope With Stress

It is back to school time and this year is different than it has ever been. Children and parents both have concerns to go along with the usual back to school excitement and stress. We all know that our schools are doing everything they can to provide a safe environment for everyone, but it might be different and that unknown factor can be adding anxiety and stress to everyone’s lives. It is important that parents and others are especially mindful of children’s needs. Children may not always know they are stressed and might not realize what is making them feel ill at ease but parents and other adults can help.

August 4-H Newsletter

We all survived the 2020 COVID19 Frontier County Fairs!! Thank you to all 4-H’ers, parents, grandparents, guardians, volunteers, and businesses who make the Frontier County 4-H Program & County fairs happen! Our AWESOME volunteers from the Ag Societies, 4-H Council, Extension Board, Superintendents, and many others are noticed & appreciated! It takes involvement and contributions from everyone to make the Frontier County Fair in Stockville, the Eustis Fair & Corn Show, and the Frontier County 4-H program happen.

Emerald Ash Borer Moving West

Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) has officially been located in an infected tree in Kearney. This tiny emerald colored pest fits on a penny and has slowly moved its way across Nebraska. On its own ability, this pest moves very slowly. Moving infested firewood along Interstate 80 is a prime way to speed up the movement of this destructive pest.

The Nebraska Forest Service, Nebraska Department of Agriculture and Nebraska Extension have worked together to follow the movement of EAB in Nebraska, identifying samples and conducting outreach education on how trees on private and public property how to respond and treat infestations now and in the future.
