High Desert
Leadership
Retreat
Oh what fun
it was!
Of the 19 coun es, 128 youth, 23
adult chaperones, and 8 4‐H staff
members represented at High
Desert Leadership Retreat (HDLR), Deschutes county contributed 27 4‐H members, 15 or 16 chaperones,
and 3 staff members. We educated, organized, played, bonded, and had a downright good me with our
youth and those of the other 18 coun es. If you ever wonder if our future is bright, come to leadership
retreat and hang out with some of these awesome young people. They are innova ve, though ul,
respec ul, dedicated young people who will undoubtedly be sharing in major decisions about their family,
profession, government, and community in years to come. And each en ty will be blessed to receive such
talented and prepared contributors. The 3 days and 3 nights
spent at Eagle Crest Resort seems luxurious and it’s
undoubtedly a terrific place to be for the event where youth get
small opportuni es to enjoy their recrea onal facili es, the
majority of me is spent learning to work as a team, gaining
some life skills, and learning a variety of leadership skills. So
many of these young people show up as leaders and they all
leave as be er leaders—every single me. And another great
part… the life long friends and rela onships that each
par cipant, adults and youth alike, gain from the experience.
Much thanks to the many volunteers, staff, and Eagle Crest
Resort who make it all happen. It’s
truly one of 4‐H’s most
unique experiences.

Wondering What’s Up

Here’s a few answers to the most FAQ
It is currently known as “Building 3”
It is an “annex;” there will not be a front office staff in the building. All “walk‐ins” will con nue to enter through our current front doors in “building 4.”
It is expected to be completed by August 30, but they’re shoo ng for having it done before fair.

It will be approximately 5200 sq’ ; roughly the same size as our current building
It will include 5 office spaces, a small confer‐ence and visitors office space
A large teaching kitchen and mee ng/workshop facility—large enough to seat 80
This large room will have a pull divider, so the space can be split into 2 mee ng rooms if nec‐essary
It will have technology for video conferencing and presenta ons.
The contractor is Sun West Builders
We will have an open house‐likely a er state fair, but it depends on comple on date.

Some Basics about 4-H
The 4-H Creed:
I believe in 4‐H for the opportunity it will give me to
become a useful citizen. I believe in the training of
my head for the power it will give me to think, plan,
and reason. I believe in the training of my heart for
the nobleness it will give me to become kind,
sympathetic, and true. I believe in the training of
my hands for the ability it will give me to become
helpful, useful, and skillful. I believe in the training
of my health for the strength it will give me to
enjoy life, to resist disease, and to work
efficiently. I believe in my country, my state, my
community, and in my responsibility for their
development. In all these things I believe, and I am
willing to dedicate my efforts to their fulfillment.

From March 1 – April 30, 2019 JOANN stores na onwide will ask their customers to donate towards the 4‐H pro‐gram. Both $1 and $4 dona ons are available. Purchase of $4 dona on comes with a $4 off a future purchase coupon.
Each register should have a small board with two “Clovers for Kids” tearaways posi oned at each register. Although store associates are encouraged to ask cus‐tomers to donate some mes this isn’t possible and the display boards are available to make the ask. In addi on, JOANN does not display the purchased tearaways. Tear‐aways have 4‐H informa on on them and the $4 version has a coupon redeemable for a later purchase that cus‐tomers should take with them.
Where does the money go? How is it used?
All the funds go back to the 4‐H program. 70% goes to the state it was raised in. This money is unrestricted, so it can be used on anything. But, we suggest the funds be used on things that support JOANN type projects or ac‐
vi es. Because o en mes JOANN stores serve mul ple coun es there are no requirements that the funds go back to the city/county that they were raised in.
Is there an instore component?
This year, the JOANN partnership does not have an in‐store component. In many cases JOANN stores are not set up to have a group of kids in store and the length of
me this campaign runs is not conducive to having a display in‐store the en re me. We do encourage pro‐grams that have a JOANN store to reach out, introduce themselves, and look for points of synergy in the future at the local level. There are many JOANN’s store manag‐ers that love working with local 4‐H programs on pro‐jects but in store par cipa on is not required for the Clovers for Kids POS campaign.
What are the expecta ons for the local 4-H program around this Clovers for Kids campaign? There are no specific expecta ons for the local 4‐H program. We do appreciate promo ng the campaign through social me‐dia #JOANNhearts4H and county/state newsle ers. At the state level please ensure it’s communicated with the coun es what the funds raised will go towards (ie schol‐arships to the consumerism na onal contest, mini grants, whatever your state decides). At the county level please communicate this informa on with your 4‐H leaders. If your leaders have ques ons about the part‐
nership we at Council are happy to speak with them about it.
Please do not inquire with store manag‐ers about partnership details (i.e. when we will receive payment, why aren’t the takeaways hung up, etc.) or ask these ques ons via social media.
Although not required if states want to do a thank you to their local JOANN stores following the campaign it’s appreciated. O en mes a local thank you is a li le more personal and special. We’ve seen some tremendously though ul and crea ve thank you videos, cards, and treats created through this partnership.
Why is this campaign longer than other POS campaigns we’ve done?
Each POS campaign is developed in partnership with Na onal 4‐H Council and the corporate partner. These businesses know a tremendous amount about their av‐erage customer and their shopping/spending habits. In the case of JOANN customers, most visit a store on aver‐age once a month. Allowing the campaign to run for two months allows the average customer more then one chance to donate.
4-H Fabric
4‐H fabric is on sale in 500 JOANNS stores na onwide. If your local store does not carry the fabric it is available via the JOANNS website or shop4‐H.org. A very small por on of the proceeds from the purchase of the fabric benefits the 4‐H program. A list of stores receiving the fabric has been shared at the state level. If sales of the fabric go well, there is poten al to expand it in the fu‐ture.
Rewards Card
JOANN offers a special 15% off rewards coupon to 4‐H staff, leaders, members, and families. Full details about the program can be found at h ps://www.joann.com/4‐h/ The rewards card is done through an app on your smart phone and does not require par cipants to rereg‐ister each year. A small por on (2.5‐5%) of qualified pur‐chases go back to the 4‐H program from this.
Other ways JOANNS supports 4-H Na onally
JOANN is a proud sponsor of the NAE4‐HA Conference and supports the Na onal 4‐H Conference in Atlanta as well.

Slappin’ Goats Or Pigs, or Sheep, or…
Like we talked about
at the livestock advi‐
sory mee ng a couple
months ago, this is
your reminder. All
animals not only need
to be treated humane‐
ly, ac ons must also be perceived as being humane.
Slapping animals for a ghtening of the loin or un‐
derline is NOT acceptable and will NOT be tolerat‐
ed. This is a 4‐H Fair and Show—the public is here
to see animals and youth caring for animals, they
don’t care about underlines and toplines. Always
be mindful of someone might be perceiving what‐
ever it is you are doing and remember no ma er
where you are on the grounds, ethics ma er and
likely someone is filming yours. Leave NO ques on,
treat your animals well with animal and personal
ethics above reproach.
YQCA, Get on Board Finally a National online livestock quality assurance
educational platform exists. YQCA is replacing PQA
(pork quality assurance) and for a variety of state,
regional, and national shows certification may be
required for members who exhibit market animals
and in the future for all who exhibit at certain
shows. YQCA certification has been up and running
smoothly for over a year. We also have several
available “hands on” educators in Oregon teaching
from the curriculum as well as sharing additional
materials and curriculum.
The online curriculum is available for students
at: http://yqca.org/
There is a fee to work through the curriculum and
take the test to get certified. When local teachers
are using the curriculum in hands on workshops to
provide certification, there will also be a cost , un‐
less they have local sponsors.
I encourage you to share this information with the
auction committee, this may be something they are
willing to sponsor in an effort to provide the best
possible food to buyers. Pop‐Ups—NOT ok at the County Fair
4‐Hers and their families are not allowed to bring pop‐up tents to the barn or any area where
the public might be; not for grooming or for hanging out under. Only in your campground area are they
allowed—and no animals go to the camping area. Marginally or unsecured pop‐ups in a decent wind
storm serve as unpredictable lances of impalement. If everyone brings one, it will also not be very eye
appealing and space may not be available. Groom in the barn, leaving no ques on of what you’re up to.
If at some point we decide for capacity purposes we need more space for grooming, we’ll ask the fair‐
grounds to set up a tent for the purpose to be shared by all.

“Born & Bred” ‐ All Species
There seems to be many interpreta ons of the
statement “Born and Bred.” In addi on, in every
industry, species, etc. there is some different twist
to this class. Here’s what it means in Deschutes
County and Oregon State 4‐H.
Part A, BORN; This means the animal has to be born
on your place or land you’ve leased, or where you
keep your animals near you—where you care for
them every or nearly every day, they are under
your careful watch and management. Born to an
animal YOU own, that you take care of, manage,
year around, not just for show season or since June
1. YOUR female.
Part B, BRED; This means a female animal you own,
manage and care for daily, is bred by AI of sperm
you have research and selected or a male that you
have chosen and selected for reasons of herd im‐
provement, quality off‐spring, etc. or of course your
own herd/flock sire. Then said product is “Born”
back under your oversight.
What Born & Bred is NOT
Purchasing a bred animal and calling its off‐
spring born and bred; it was born, NOT bred
It is not using your male animal to breed some‐
one else’s female, keeping an offspring and call‐
ing those off spring born and bred; they were
bred, not born.
Can the purchased bred female become a born
and bred? YES, of course. Once she gives birth
and YOU manage the breeding process and her
next animal is born under your watchfulness,
then her offspring would be born and bred.
State Issues 2‐Year Trial on Using Prong Collars for Goats A bit against my be er judgement, we are going to
give this a try as well. Here’s the thing: if you use a
prong collar on your goat ...
You must be prepared to explain to any mem‐ber of the public why it’s a be er choice for the goat, than a collar or choke chain
You must use it at ALL mes humanely
If a superintendent, leader, or 4‐H staff mem‐ber says NO, or asks for its removal—no argu‐ment… you may ask why and then we can all discuss the reason out behind the barn, but at that moment, you will remove it un l we have
me to discuss the challenge.
Make no mistake, I understand if used correctly this could be a win for our goats, I also know what the public will think; so if you don’t have a clear understanding of why it’s a good choice for you, don’t use it. AND the usage of pronged collars will be very closely monitored.
