Dodds reflects on his 55 years of 4-H service
Continued from page 11
he said. “It takes a few years and
them being older to be able to take
everything in and get comfortable
enough to be active in the groups.”
Dodds said there are exceptions to
every rule, but usually, the group of
children that wins championships
are from that age bracket because
they’ve been there long enough.
Not long after that, however,
members are ending their time in 4-
H, many do come back as leaders.
“[Graeme Craig] was the first
member who came back as a leader
with me,” Dodds said. “Most recent-
ly we had Shelley Kroes who started
last year after she had been a mem-
ber a few years ago.”
Becoming a leader now is no sim-
ple task, Dodds said, indicating there
is training and background checks.
“It’s very safe, that’s for sure, but
we do have to go through a lot.”
Fortunately, the application, train-
ing and background checks haven’t
deterred many, as they are complete-
ly necessary according to Dodds.
“We would not have been able to
keep going this long without all the
other leaders and the wonderful
county organizations that keeps it
going,” he said. “It’s been a privilege
to be a part of this for so long.”
Dodds said he wasn’t alone in
receiving an award, pointing out that
Barb Storey and Florence Pullen,
both Huron County residents, were
also recognized for 20 and 35 years
of leadership service respectively.

DREAM HOME OF THE MONTH
PLAN NUMBER 1-3-608 COMPACT, SNUG THREE BEDROOM HOME
Compact and snug, this delightful three-bedroom home includes all the features demanded by today’s families — and on a single floor.
The double-height foyer is reached via a covered entry. To the right is Bedroom No. 3, which could easily double as a den or home office.
Beyond the foyer, which contains a coat closet on the left, is the family area, comprising an open-plan great room, dining area and
kitchen.
The kitchen features a raised seating bar and prep island, as well as an L-shaped counter configuration, for maximum efficiency. An extra-
wide window sill over the sink will make the perfect spot to display plants and collectibles. Two pantries and a linen closet are located
nearby.
The dining room features an optional built-in buffet, and has access to a large sundeck, where family members and guests alike will enjoy
summertime meals and relaxation.
The great room, with access to the sundeck, boasts a dramatic double-height ceiling. The fireplace tucked into one corner will not only
provide cozy warmth during the cooler months, it will also serve as a magnet for family activities.
The master suite, with its own private sundeck, includes a roomy walk-in closet, as well as a well-appointed four-piece bath, where a
shower and soaker tub occupy a bayed-out nook with a window.
The second bedroom shares a three-piece bathroom with Bedroom No. 3.
The laundry room includes a two-way cupboard, ideal for storing off-season gear. Access to the double garage means the laundry room
can double as a mud room.
Exterior features include decorative wooden touches under the front window, as well as cross-bracing in the gables. Stone accents on
either side of the garage and under the corner pilaster underscore the home’s aura of solid comfort.
