I don’t know about any of you, but I am done with this snow.

Hello readers my name is Jessica Wiebe I am a Sr member in the Prespatou 4-H Community Club. So for any of you new readers I don’t write this whole article by my self. We have a Jr member that writes the dog section for the article. is is one of the most fun months of the 4-H season. We are very busy. It is one of the most productive month of the 4-H season, working with our animals, naming our animals, picking out our theme for the barn displays and with communications. Our club has gone through club communications and district communication. We all placed in our club communications, so we went to the next level district communications, one board, the only demonstration, and one out of two speak and shows of our club will be going to the next level, which is regionals. Regionals is on April 15.

e beef projects have been doing amazing!! We will be having another weigh in this month. Now that it’s been warmer we will have more time to work with our animals. I can not wait to learn new things. I am really excited for the achievement days.

I have so really excited news to share with my guys. We had some unexpected lambs this year! Lucky the ewe that I am using for my ewe with lamb project got pregnant in the summer. ankfully We where blessed with a healthy ewe lamb. She was born on February 2. We are getting our other project animals this month. Luckily my little sister and I don’t have to wait to get our lambs. We will be using our own home grown lambs this year. Although the other member that is doing sheep projects will be getting her lambs towards the end of the month. She is getting her animals from a local farm.

Hello my name is Arielle Reimer and I am part of the Prespatou 4-H Community Club. I am excited to share an awesome article about dog 4-H with you. When you have a dog in 4-H you have to make sure your dog is well socialized. If it’s not you will have a hard time at Achievement Days. at’s why you want to have your dog meet up with other dogs in 4-H so the dogs can get used to one another. When your dog meet up with another dog, we have to make sure you have a positive attitude. So you and your dog will both feel calm. It is important that your dog is calm so your dog and feel more comfortable when he is around other dogs anywhere you go.

When asked what winning the bronze medal at provincials meant to him, only one word was needed: “Huge.”

“It’s a great way for the athletes to be involved, socially, to be involved in an activity that gets them out and about,” said Gula. “It builds skill and confidence.”

Kim Turney has volunteered as a coach ten years for the SOBC Team, leading numerous local athletes to prestigious events.

“If we can get the volunteers, we can have the sports. My eyes and ears are open all the time for volunteers and athletes here in Fort St John,” said Turney.

Donations are still being accepted online where residents can add their support and help athletes meet their goal.

“If we don’t have the volunteers and we don’t have the athletes, then the program collapses, and those that are interested and want to, can’t,” said Gula. “If we can increase the athlete participation and can have the coaches available, it opens a whole new availability to people and allows the programs to expand.” at’s all we have for you this week. We hope you have an amazing spring. Until next time

As me and my dog are getting ready for Achievement Days we are making new friends along the way. My dog and the other dogs project met up on March 2. My dog did not like the other dog as much as the other dog liked my dog. Towards the end, if we were giving both dogs attention, they would sit side-by-side and not bark or growl . So overall, they did a good job for their rst meeting.
