4-H SPRING SHOW BOOKS ON-LINE

Spring Show Books are available on-line at .http://ceyolo.ucdavis.edu/ One of each Spring Show Book will be supplied to each Club. Community Clubs may print additional copies and a limited supply may picked up at the 4-H Office for the following cost: Large Animal Book $1.50 Small Animal Book $1.50 Creative Arts & Science Book $3.00 We are not printing hard copies for everyone due to the high cost. (Our quote was $3000.00)

DEAR CLOVER, RE: PRIMARY MEMBERS How do I enter my child into Spring Show who is a primary member? Wow what a great question. Primary children are youth members 5-8 years old and may not be judged at any time. Thus primary members enter on special entry forms with a “P” in the top right corner. They also use special primary entry tags that maybe found online. Groups with one member as a primary member must enter as a primary entry and will not be judged. Pri-mary exhibitors will only receive participation ribbons. This follows state policy. If you have any further questions regarding primary entries for Spring Show please contact the Primary Chair Kayla Marks at 530-666-8703. How do Primary members work within project meetings? Another great question! Again, Primary children are youth members 5-8 years old as of Jan 1st of the program year. Primary members should have their own age-level appropriate project meetings. This means primary members should not be mixed in with older youth. A critical note referring to animal projects: primary members may not attend animal project meetings with older children, they must have their own animal project meeting. Primary members are impressionable and respond to exciting and creative activities. This a critical stage in the development of young children and an excellent time to enhance a child’s learning experiences and self-perception. It is important to offer non-formal, exploratory pro-grams focusing on the developmental needs of younger children. 4-H primary member’s pro-ject meetings should be family and community focused with flexible and dynamic activities. Project meetings should always have positive guidance and discipline. This information was gathered from the State 4-H Office and further information may be ob-tained at the Yolo County 4-H Office, 530-666-8703.

MARYANN WEGENER MEMORIAL 4-H SCHOLARSHIP

In 2001, members of the 4H community, family, and friends contributed money towards a 4-H scholarship program in memory of my wife MaryAnn. MaryAnn was very active as an adult volunteer in 4H in roles ranging from Club to County All Star Advisor. She loved watching 4-H members grow and mature, and would have appreciated this scholarship program to assist 4-H’ers pursue their life dreams. I am sending letters directly to the graduating seniors, but this notice is a reminder about the program. The applications will be due in April. I have been doing one new scholarship each year, which can be renewed if normal progress is being made towards graduation, and funds are available. It is our intent to give priority to those 4-H’ers that need financial assistance in order to meet their vocational, two or four year college goals. Any assistance you can provide in encouraging the graduating seniors to apply would be appreciated. Gary Wegener

Event Coverage

FABULOUS KNOWLEDGE FIELD DAY Over 50 youth participated in Knowledge Field Day on Saturday, January 13th. Twenty-seven projects were represented and a grand total of 229 evaluations were taken. Of these 202 passed. This is awesome. The list of youth who passed the evaluations will be printed next month. A special thank you to project leaders who created updates and /or new versions of the evalua-tions. These included Marc Canevari, Daniel Berke, Fred Stewart, Amanda Cannan, Rachel Long, Sarah Hazeltine, Jesse Simons, Janet Berry, Diane Tauzer, Dewey Berry, Elisabeth Vi-doold, and Nancy Cannan. This year was the first time we added a Beginning Level or “pretest”. This new level was targeted to 4-H Primaries, youth not in the project or 4-H mem-bers just starting a project. Youth who pass this level receive a certificate. A certificate and Bronze, Silver or Gold pins are awarded to those who pass the next three levels. Thank you also to Kim Scott, Daniel Berke, Katie Wilmot, Carrie Taylor, Hilary Kaseman, An-gela Allen, Janeen and Karissa Smith, Sarah Hazeltine, Janet Berry, Dian Tauzer, Sandi Ha-zeltine, Alyssa Moreland, Victoria Jensen, Jesse Simons, Dewey Berry, Elizabeth Vivoold, Cyn-thia Belgum, and Chelsea Pugh who gave their time during the field day to administer the pro-ject evaluations. This program is possible because of all of your effort. This year was the first time two junior leaders participated in the Knowledge Merit Program. Chelsea Pugh and Jesse Simons were a great help. Both contributed before and during the event. Their effort contributed greatly to a smooth running field day and less stress for Jan Johansen. Thank you Chelsea and Jesse. Project leaders, if you are leading a project that was not represented at Knowledge Field Day, think about creating an evaluation based on the information you teach. Furthermore any one leading Plant Science and Woodworking or Carpentry is requested to assist with preparation of new project level tests. Contact Jan Johansen for more information, janjohansen@sbcglobal.net or 530-666-8703. Also, remember creating evaluations is a rewarding Emerald Star Project. Knowledge Merit Program Rules Summary: 1. Membership in a project is not required to take an evaluation but it is highly recommended

especially for silver and gold levels. 2. Evaluations may be taken at the Knowledge Field Day, Spring Show and under special ar-

rangements through Jan Johansen or the 4-H Office. 3. Passing each level in order is recommended but not required. 4. Passing is 70% correct. 5. Only administrators or their designee may correct the evaluations. 6. A test level may be taken only once during a testing session. Even though typically only one level of tests are taken during a testing session, youth may take more than one level if another level exists and they have time or wish to.

4-H youth, you have another opportunity to show what you know at Spring Show. A mini Knowledge Field Day will be held Sunday, May 6th from 11:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in the Crea-tive Arts and Sciences building. By Jan Johansen This article is continued to the next page.

SHEEP SKILLS DAY On January 13, 2007, Jim Yeager and Marylyn Garrett sponsored the annual Sheep Skills Day that was held at the Wooden Ranch in Davis California. Over sixty 4-H members, leaders and parents attend. 4-H members as far away as Sheldon attend. Two UC Davis Sheep judges did a demonstration on picking out a market lamb. There were two different groups of sheep that were judged. The 4-H members were split into two groups, juniors and seniors and there was

also a parent group that judged. Prizes were given down to 5th place in each group. A special thank you to Higby’s for their donation. Andy Timko the County sheep chair talked about the Spring Show book and went over the rules. Jim Yeager talked about the sheep industry and the environment and showed a movie. Morgan Duran from the co-operation office did a presentation on how the sheep’s stomachs work. He brought a real sheep stomach, intestines and all the other organs for us to look at. He explained how the food is digested. This demon-stration was very educational. I did a

talk on the basic items needed for your lamb before you buy one. Also on keeping good records and writing letters to buyers for the auction at Spring Show. Remember this is a regional event and if you participated in the judging event record it in your Record Book. Thank you to Jeff Dullum, Neil Mathiesen, Dan King and Shelly Timko for helping in preparing the lunch, also to Crystal Dullum and Laura Vannucci for tabulating the scores in the judging event. If you have any ideas or comments for next years sheep skills days or a field trip that you would like to go to please e-mail me at rockinklambs@sbcglobal.net or call 530-666-8703

CLEVER CLOVERS CLUB NEWS This month 4-Hers have been busy. There was Knowledge Merit Day, Sheep Day, and other things. I am going to write about Knowledge Merit Day. I had never been there before. When I walked in there were lots of tables and people were sitting there giving and taking tests. There were paper and pencil tests along with 2 goats and a rabbit to be questioned about. All the peo-ple were friendly and patient. They encouraged me to try harder tests. There were lots of areas to test my knowledge on. I could take different levels, from beginner to bronze, silver and gold. Beginners get a certificate and the other levels are given medals for their hats if you took the test and passed. It was really fun! If I want to study or read up on more areas, I can go to the Spring Show and test again. I encourage everyone to try Knowledge Merit Day next year or at the Spring Show in May.

The last West Plainfield meeting was on January 9th, and it was Parent’s Night! We had a pot-luck with some really good food and some pretty good presentations. It was really exciting to see some first-timers as well as younger kids doing presentations. We got to learn how to make a fruit smoothie, salsa and chocolate mousse, and also learned about choosing a puppy and lon-geing a horse. We even got to play an awesome game of Beef Jeopardy. Everyone did a great job! The business part of our meeting was short due to Parent’s Night activities, but we did hear a lot about projects that are just starting to get into full swing. A number of members have just gotten or will be getting their market animals, and all of the creative arts and sciences projects are go-ing strong. We also mentioned the Picnic Day Parade in April, and talked a little about Knowl-edge Merit coming up on the 13th. Our next meeting will be on February 13th, at 7 pm at Lillard Hall.
