She has also been a part of the area community gar dens, farmers’ market, and worked with the schools,” Powell added. Baker’s career goal is to be an effective family consumer science agent by proving to be an asset in the areas of leadership and management of family consumer science outreach and education in Bertie and Martin counties. The Family Consumer Sci ence Program began in 1911 and was originally known as the Extension Home Demon stration. The program has been re sponsible for: Smuggle From A1 fence, but decided not to,” Windsor Police Lt. Frank Rat- zlaff said. “He indicated his ride had left him there.” The suspect was trans ported to the Bertie County Magistrate’s Office where the bottles were open to dis cover seven cell phones and tobacco.

Home Demonstration evolved into Home Econom ics, and now into Family and Consumer Sciences. The program has a rich history of significant contri butions to the state’s well being over a hundred years. The organization’s accom plishments helped everyone grow and preserve food for their families in hard times and during flu epidemics, organized their network of club women into nursing and food distribution squads to help the sick and were the forerunner of school cafete rias. Family and Consumer Sci ences led the way in fighting literacy in the state. They lobbied county commission ers and raised money for books. The literacy effort still continues today. Extension and Community Association clubs across the state buy books for day cares, schools, libraries and individual children. The clubs often tutor children in local communities. Farmer’s markets and local foods are not new. The idea originated with Home Dem onstration Curb Markets. Jane Mckimmon intro duced the concept to pro duce more .than the family needs and sell the rest to supplement the family in come. Today Family and Con sumer Sciences views the family as the cornerstone of a healthy society. North Carolina State Exten sion’s mission is to improve the well-being of the family through the programs that educate, influence public policy and help families put research-based knowledge to work in their lives. “North Carolina State Ex tension’s Family and Con sumer Sciences program is a community based, educational program that strengthens and transforms families by providing educa tion on the most important issues that affect them,” said Baker. The core of all the Family and Consumer Science pro grams is nutrition, health. food safety, food preserva tion and local foods. The program also helps address important commu nity related issues housing, parenting, family resource management, human devel opment and aging. “People are our greatest assets. Extension FCS pro fessionals and volunteers do their jobs because what they teach makes a differ ence in the lives they touch every day, and give back to the communities to reach its fullest potential,” said Baker. “They provide solutions for everyday living, helping make dreams a reality,” she closed.
