By Sarah Hopkins, Purdue Extension, Health and Human Sciences and 4-H Youth Development Educator Getting good grades in school does not always mean a student will succeed in college or a career. Re- search shows that interper- sonal communication, criti- cal thinking, and creativity are a few indicators to stu- dent success in life. These "soft skills" help bridge ac- ademic achievement and re- al work experiences, mak- ing students with devel- oped soft skills good candi- dates for higher education and employment. While students learn many skills in school, studies show that out of school programs, such as 4-H, have a great impact on their success. The 4-H Youth Develop- ment program's design pro- vides youth with meaningful leadership and skill building experiences, under the guid- ance of caring adults. As a result, youth develop life skills related to the four Hs of 4-H (Head, Heart, Hands, and Health). A few examples of skills for each include: • Head = resiliency, goal setting, critical thinking, problem solving. • Heart = empathy, ac- cepting differences, conflict resolution, communication. • Hands = leadership, teamwork, citizenship, vol- unteering. • Health = stress manage- ment, character, self-respon- sibility, character. A long-term study of youth development pro- grams found that 4-H mem- bers were more likely to excel beyond their peers. Youth in 4-H were four times more likely to give back to their communities, two times more likely to make healthier choices, and two times more likely to get bet- ter grades in school than peers not involved in 4-H.

Washington man arrested for driving while suspended By Andy Heuring A Washington man was arrested Saturday morning after he bright lighted a Pe- tersburg police officer. Jariles Lucius, 47, of Washington, was stopped by Petersburg Police Cpl. Jar- ed Simmons at about 1 a.m. Cpl. Simmons said he was driving south on Highway 57 when Lucius bright light- ed him. Simmons turned around, turned on his lights and attempted to stop him, but Lucius continued with- out stopping until Simmons turned on his siren. Then Lucius stopped abruptly in the middle of the road with- out pulling over. Cpl. Simmons said Lucius was smoking while he was talking to him, so Simmons asked him to put out the cig- arette. He said Lucius then threw the cigarette out the window. Simmons then told Lu- cius if he didn't pick up the cigarette, he would be cited for littering. Lucius initially refused to pickup the ciga- rette, but eventually did pick it up. When Simmons asked Lu- cius for his driver's license, Lucius handed him a Florida Learner's Permit. Simmons said when he ran a license check on Lucius, he found his license was suspended with priors and he had mul- tiple failures to appear on the driving while suspend- ed charges. Lucius was transported to the Pike County Jail.
