Jr. Homemakers Family and Consumer Sciences Extension News! Bath County Cooperative Extension Jr. Homemakers Family and Consumer Sciences Extension News! Happy New Year! I hope this year will bring lots of success, health, happiness, and wholeness to your days Inside this issue: and nights. 2019 took my family on a wonderful ride of ups and downs, and we wish to have a journey to better health, happiness, and togetherness. Do you know what your goals are for your family? I encourage KEHA News 2-4 you to talk about your goals with family and friends. Doing so will encourage more accountability. Last month we had a great time during the annual Dine In Day—a special thank you goes out to Debbie Greta Thunberg 5 Highley, Kathy Adams, Judy Whaley, and Laykin Smith Butcher for assisting with that day. There is no way I could have done it without them. This day is supposed to highlight FCS programs and this is the first year I was able to host something specific on that day. Look forward to this year’s program on Decem- Youth Health Bulletin 6-7 ber 3 and I hope many more will come out. We also had a wonderful Cooking Around the World program, as well as DIY Days in Sharpsburg. Year in Review 8-9 This month we are still having our Cooking Around the World program. This month’s country is Ghana. We are still having Project Linus on the first Tuesday of each month and Sewing Day on the second Mon- day of the month. Please join either group if you have the time! Also, our DIY Days program date has Puzzle 10 changed to January 19. District 1’s staff meeting is held in Bath County on January 15. The Bath County Homemakers have voted Leadership Training 11 to cater this meal as a fundraiser—the last time the Extension Homemakers had the opportunity to host this meal as a fundraiser was in September of 2017 (it was very successful). If you are able to assist on that day, please contact Judy Whaley. She will need people to assist with different tasks. Her number is listed below. A Message From Your President! Hello to the New Year and to the many journeys we still have ahead! This is the month to think about what the last year brought and what you want from the new year. I hope we can travel together through the next year accomplishing our goals, helping others and doing some fun things together. I’d like to make some trips to won- derful Kentucky locales and restaurants and historical places… Please let me know if that sounds like some- thing you would like to do as well. Nicole Gwishiri Bath CEA For Family and We have some special things to do in this next year. We will be sending bags to Build a Bed, making cards for Consumer Sciences Edu- shut-ins and nursing homes, raising money for special projects, trips and scholarships, learning new things, and cation hopefully getting to know each other better. We have a dinner to raise a few funds on January 15, for the Ex- tension Agents in District 1. We are serving soup, salad, and cookies. I can use a couple more people in the kitchen and serving on that day. If you can help, we would love to have you. A big fish fry to raise more for scholarships is in the works. Last years was so successful it would be a shame not to do another one. Thank you to Lois and her club plus those from other clubs who cleaned, served or helped in other ways. Let’s make this one even more successful! Special points of interest: Have a great month. Call if you need to tell me anything. Love to you all.

Page 5 Building Strong Families in Bath County Teen Climate Change Activist Greta Thunberg is Time’s Youngest Ever “Person of the Year” Time Inc.'s "Person of the Year" tradition began in 1927, when the magazine commemorated 25 -year-old aviator Charles Lindbergh for the first nonstop solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Though the media franchise has since recognized several young people for their global influence, it has never given the important distinction to a teenager. But then again, few teens are as pas- sionate about their mission as 2019's "Person of The Year"— 16-year-old Swedish climate change activist Greta Thunberg. Thunberg's rise to global prominence is even more stunning given that just over a year ago, she was a shy 15-year-old fretting about the looming threat of climate change. In August 2018, tired of the “refusal” of world leaders to take action, the young girl started camping out in front of the Swedish Parliament every Friday with a sign that said: “School Strike for Climate." The teen's singular act of protest soon went viral, inspiring kids and adults worldwide to take action. By September 2018, her weekly strike became a global climate change movement called “Fridays for the Future," with tens of thou- sands of students skipping school on this day to protest the inaction of the leaders of their respective countries. Her rally cry for progress also encouraged other young activists to begin their own climate change movements. They include 17-year-old Xiye Bastida in New York City, USA; 19-year-old Artemisa Xakriaba in Brasilia, Brazil; 17-year-old Vidit Baya in Udaipur, India; 16-year-old Howey Ou in Guilin, China, and many more. Varshini Pra- kash, co-founder of the US youth-led Sunrise Movement, says Thunberg "symbolizes the agony, the frustration, the desperation, the anger—at some level, the hope—of many young people who won't even be of age to vote by the time their futures are doomed." The teenager, who has single-handedly helped bring climate change to the forefront of the global conversation, attributes her success to her Asperger’s syndrome.

  • Time Magazine 2019 Person of the Year Greta Thunberg
    TIME MAGAZINE 2019 PERSON OF THE YEAR GRETA THUNBERG By Charlotte Alter, Suyin Haynes and Justin Worland Photographs By Evgenia Arbugaeva for TIME Greta Thunberg sits in silence in the cabin of the boat that will take her across the Atlantic Ocean. Inside, there’s a cow skull hanging on the wall, a faded globe, a child’s yellow raincoat. Outside, it’s a tempest: rain pelts the boat, ice coats the decks, and the sea batters the vessel that will take this slight girl, her father and a few companions from Virginia to Portugal. For a moment, it’s as if Thunberg were the eye of a hurricane, a pool of resolve at the center of swirling chaos. In here, she speaks quietly. Out there, the entire natural world seems to amplify her small voice, screaming along with her. “We can’t just continue living as if there was no tomorrow, because there is a tomorrow,” she says, tugging on the sleeve of her blue sweatshirt. “That is all we are saying.” It’s a simple truth, delivered by a teenage girl in a fateful moment. The sailboat, La Vagabonde, will shepherd Thunberg to the Port of Lisbon, and from there she will travel to Madrid, where the United Nations is hosting this year’s climate conference. It is the last such summit before nations commit to new plans to meet a major deadline set by the Paris Agreement. Unless they agree on transformative action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the world’s temperature rise since the Industrial Revolution will hit the 1.5°C mark — an eventuality that scientists warn will expose some 350 million additional people to drought and push roughly 120 million people into extreme poverty by 2030.
