Braiding Hair
When I was growing up
like many little girls I wore
my hair long and in pig tails
or braided different ways.
Mama was a good hand at
braiding hair and my hair
was thick and coarse and
easy to work with. She would
tie ribbons that would match
my clothing on my pigtails.
Well, Aunt Mary’s girls’ hair
wasn’t the same texture as
mine. It was thinner and finer
in texture and really wasn’t
easy for her to do. I reckon
that was the reason she al
ways wanted to comb and
plait my hair. I really didn’t
like for her to do it because
she would pull and it hurt!
But I loved her too much to
say anything to her so I just
sat there and let her comb and
plait, for I loved her dearly.
Now, many of the ladies
out here have their hair long
because the beautician can’t
come to style and give per
manents. However, many of
our CNAs can do beautiful
braiding and while taking
care of the residents, they
braid their hair and it looks so
good. They do their hair in.
many different kinds of
braiding and they will also
cut their hair and do many
extra things to make them
look and feel better about
themselves, while taking care
of things they can’t do for
themselves. They do these
things first out of love for the
residents. I am fortunate
enough to do the personal
care things for myself but
they would do anything for
me that I need help with. We
are very fortunate to have
such caring folks working
here. They treat each resident
with love instead of acting
like it’s just a job.

To end the night, students
focused on the statement 4-
H’ers light the way with the
luminaire walk in the park. 4-
H’ers prepared a luminaire
bag with their name and an
other with a past 4-H’er
(legacy). It was amazing to
see multi-generations repre
sented. Beau Tate, current 4-
H’er, was able to walk with
his dad Will Tate as both had
a luminaire bag with their
name on it. Some other
legacy 4-H’ers represented
that night were Hettie Young,
Jeanette Fleming, William
Dilbeck, and Rick Jasperse.
just to name a few. Finally,
everyone enjoyed "moon
pies" and "Starburst" but the
hydration station was the fa
vorite with hot cocoa and
whipped cream from Red
Bean Coffee. Whew, what a
celebration.
Pickens County 4-H’ers
are doing a lot of great things
and you can keep up-to-date
on what they are doing by
looking at the Pickens
County 4-H Facebook page.
It is listed under Georgia 4-H
Pickens County. You can also
call the extension office to
see how your child can be
come involved with 4-H. We
currently have home school
students, virtual students, and
traditional students involved.
We want more great kids who
want to be involved in their
community. So if you know
Pickens celebrates National 4-H week
Submitted by
Traci Buckingham
Pickens 4-H
Pickens County 4-H has
been celebrating National 4-
H week in a big way. Proba
bly the biggest part of the
celebration was the October
county council meeting. It
was a true celebration of the
old and the new in the 4-H
world. There were activities
that were hands on which has
been a trademark of 4-H for
decades and there were
STEAM activities that reflect
a new direction for 4-H. The
theme of the meeting was 4-
H is Out of this World. 4-
H’ers rotated through various
stations each with a space
theme.
At the nutrition station,
Senior 4-H’ers Ryan Johnson
and Sherlyn Paredes, taught
about the dairy portion of my
plate and then challenged the
younger 4-H’ers to make a
rocket from cheese and
crackers. Brother sister team
of Riley and Reece Davis
taught about constellations as
they focused on nature at
night. Younger 4-H’ers made
constellations with pretzel
sticks and mini marshmal
lows. At station 3, students
enjoyed using their brains to
create a landing rover after
working with Junior 4-H’er
Dylan Lo As he studies me
chanics and engineering, this
is right in line with his proj
ect studies. 4-H’ers were
given straws, rubber bands,
index cards, card stock
square and mini marshmal
lows. Another station was the
spray paint station where stu
dents completed intergalactic
paintings of the planets. After
they were shown how to
properly use the spray paint,
they were allowed to use
their creative juices to create
some beautiful art work. 4-
H’ers were given the unique
opportunity to actually hold a
Vicks Vaporub
for toenail fungus
Question: Does Vicks Va
porub ointment still have the
ingredients that kill toenail
fungus? I used to work in a
nursing home and the nursing
staff rubbed Vicks into the
feet, paying special attention
to the toes. It definitely cured
active nail fungus in some
residents who came in with
horrible problems.
Answer: Vicks Vaporub
contains camphor, eucalyptus
oil and menthol, along with
inactive ingredients including
cedarleaf oil, nutmeg oil, pe
troleum, thymol and turpen
tine oil. About 15 years ago
the manufacturer began using
synthetic rather than natural
camphor, but we haven’t seen
any indication that the effect
on toenail fungus has
changed. Camphor, menthol,
thymol and eucalyptus oil are
active against five types of
fungus that can infect toe
nails.
