The articles on the birth of Southern rock [page

[Cooperative Concerns, page 25; bit.ly/linem422] are
fantastic. All of this is [thanks] to the EMCs and
Georgia Magazine.

4-H's impact
Many thanks for the exceptional article " 4-H grows
tomorrow's leaders " in the March issue. [See page 16;
bit.ly/4hga322]. Pamela A. Keene did a superb job
showcasing some of the brightest, most hardworking
and talented youths in Georgia 4-H!
As the largest positive youth-development
organization in the state and a program of the
University of Georgia (UGA) College of Agricultural
and Environmental Sciences and UGA Cooperative
Extension, Georgia 4-H is often lauded as the best 4-H
program in the nation. Each year, we serve nearly
240,000 students through public, private and homeschool
programs; Fort Valley State University 4-H programs; school enrichment; and
4-H Environmental Education at five 4-H centers across the state.
As Ms. Keene stated, our 4-H roots proudly run deep in agriculture, and we boast
more than 118 years of 4-H club work. From the beginning, 4-H youths learned new
production practices through educational contests to increase yields and then shared
their experiences back home, applying those new practices on the farm.
As so beautifully demonstrated in the article featuring four outstanding youths,
Georgia 4-H continues to prepare youths for life. They participate in hands-on
learning in the focus areas of agriculture and STEM (science, technology, engineering
and math), civic engagement and healthy living.
By featuring these youths and our 4-H program, you allow us to showcase the
human capital of our great state, and we thank you! We have been able to share the
article with multiple media outlets, reaching even more broadly across the state
and nation.
Georgia EMC and UGA Cooperative Extension have been partnering for [many]
years to serve the people of Georgia and enhance their quality of life. Thank you for
this partnership.
-Laura Perry Johnson, associate dean for UGA Extension, Athens

to rethink Paddle Georgia, and this year
the event will involve only 30 attendees.
However, a series of shorter river trips
is also on offer as well as a Canoe-a-Thon
program that allows participants to track
their paddled miles and raise money for
the GRN's advocacy efforts. Read " Paddle
on! " starting on page 16 to find out more
about the GRN's conservation and
adventure programs and how you can
participate.
Although many people dread
spending hours in their cars, Dalton
resident Jimmy Emerson likes to take the
long route. That's because he's a member
of the Extra Miler Club, a group dedicated
to visiting every county in the U.S.
Some club members also keep track
of other travel achievements, such as
visiting the highest point in each state or
logging how many roads they've driven
on. Read " Venturing way off the beaten
path, " starting on page 20, to learn why
this club's motto is " The shortest distance
between two points is no fun. "
Summer is upon us, and many
people would tell you that nothing tastes
better during hot weather than a big bowl
of ice cream. We associate ice cream with
the good times in our lives-birthday
parties, family gatherings and carefree
summer afternoons. Americans have
long had a love affair with this frozen
treat, and Georgians are no exception.
In this issue we give you the scoop
on some of the Peach State's favorite ice
cream parlors. Read " Sweet summer
treats, " starting on page 28, to discover
where you can satisfy your sugar cravings!
Enjoy!
