Diggins noted. The topic generated a lot of discussion from Mayor Shawn Dietz, Diggins, and Thomas Craighton, who is the emergency management coordinator for Franklin County.

While some consumers will qualify for subsidies through the ACA, many will not. For those who earn too much to qualify for subsidies, weighing their insurance options both on and off the Marketplace should be a priority. According to a CNN Money article, posted on Sept. 5, there are several reasons consumers might consider looking outside of the Marketplace for their health coverage: • Additional advantages OFF the exchange Insurers off the exchange may offer richer policies, more comprehensive networks or lower drug costs to retain their cus-

tomers. On-exchange policies may be more restrictive (offer less) in order to control premium costs and keep plans attractive. • Less paperwork OFF the exchange Those who are eligible for subsidies on the exchange face considerable proof-of-need paperwork. They are required to set up online accounts; gather pay stubs or W2 forms; and present of¿cial veri¿cation of income and citizenship. When purchasing off exchange, income veri¿cation is not necessary and you are able to shop for carrier products using a broker, calling the carrier directly or using the carrier websites to compare and enroll in plans. • Less government involvement OFF the exchange CNN Money reported some of those they interviewed oppose government interference in their lives, have political differences with the current administration, or resist government

assistance programs. All health insurance plans are required to have the same ACAcompliant protections, regardless of whether they are purchased within or outside the Marketplace, to ensure consumers have access to the health care they need. Many times, off-exchange plans provide broader choices for consumers— especially those who will not bene¿t from subsidies or tax credits. ACA-compliant plans purchased outside the Marketplace will also avoid the 3.5 percent exchange user fee and other ACA taxes.

For consumers who need more guidance, agents and brokers are the best resource to get your questions answered and to ensure that you choose the best plan for you and your family.

Despite scrutiny, ethanol still good for Iowa An article by the Associated Press sparked controversy last week after it scrutinized the ethanol industry for its detrimental effects on the environment.

Destruction of conservation land, polluted water supplies and increased fertilizer usage all topped a long list of detrimental repercussions seen in the wake of the ethanol boom. While these issues have indeed become pertinent topics in the past decade, the article had tunnel vision. Most of its attention was focused on southern Iowa and completely failed to detail areas of the state with more suitable farmland capable of handling the increased demand for corn. Their reasons for focusing on southern Iowa were obvious.

Area News Briefs GARNER: Filing of all case types at the Clerk of Court OfĂ€ces in Hancock, Winnebago and Worth Counties will be done electronically. The switch started on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The change to digital is an on-going, state-wide initiative, according to Scott Hand, court administrator for the Iowa’s Second Judicial District. “There are over 30 [clerk of court] ofĂ€ces on-line already,â€? he said. “In the majority of our courthouses, we just don’t have space for paper any more. That was one of the overriding factors.â€? Hand anticipates efĂ€ciency gains for the clerks’ ofĂ€ces, “just by not handling paper and looking for Ă€les

and pull Àles. You won’t have to worry about misplaced Àles.� Data will also be stored at two, separate physical locations as a precaution. GOODELL: A formal request for a recount of the mayoral election at Goodell was Àled with the Hancock County Board of Supervisors. The unofÀcial results of the Nov. 5 city election showed challenger Pat Sweeney receiving 29 votes over 27 votes for the incumbent mayor, Ryan Halfpop. Each candidate will choose a representative to serve on a recount panel. The panel will also include a mutually agreed upon third person. The date for the recount has yet to be set.

LAND OF THE GIANTS:

Night-in, night-out, Hampton-Dumont faced ranked teams By Kristi Nixon HAMPTON – Every time the HamptonDumont volleyball team turned around, it was playing a volleyball juggernaut. The Bulldogs had to persevere among ranked teams all season long, but fought their way through a 4-22 season. After opening the year with a 2-1 win over a much-improved CAL team, coach Cinda Barz’s squad slogged its way through a schedule that included seven ranked teams in all classes. The highlight of the season was H-D’s lone conference victory, a 3-0 sweep of foe Eagle Grove on the road. For all of the Bulldogs woes, senior Lexi Sorenson earned conference honors

by becoming a third team all-North Central Conference selection. Sorenson led the team with 174 digs while serving up 20 aces. Morgan Kalkwarf led the team in serve efficiency at 92 percent, including 25 aces. As the primary setter, Kalkwarf recorded 169 assists. Jordan Casey led the offensive attack with 80 kills and defensively scored 32 blocks. Several of H-D’s players were underclassmen, including four out of its top five hitters. The Bulldogs should have plenty of experience returning next season, looking to build after competing against tough competition.

Hampton Chronicle’s Football Pick ‘em This thing is coming down to the wire as we approach our final two weeks. There are some distinctly different picks in certain spots that could swing the momentum among this inter-office rivalry as reporter Nick Pedley takes sole possession of first place by a game ahead of sales representative Frankie Aliu. Editor Jeff Forward and publisher Ryan Harvey are within a game of each other and sports editor Kristi Nixon is a game back. Here are this week’s picks:

Nick Pedley: Baltimore: I had an inclination to pick the Jets, but they’ve been too spotty this season. Going with the defending Super Bowl champs at home. Denver: This one was tough. New England has played well, and Denver showed that they were beatable earlier this year. It’s a toss-up, but I’ll go with the Broncos. UCLA: I personally haven’t heard much about the Sun Devils this year, and I don’t know much about the Bruins. Going with the standard, “home team pulls out the W� mantra here. LSU: Both teams are coming off the bye week, and it’s extremely tough to win at Death Valley. I honestly want Texas A&M to win this because I’m pro-Manziel. However, I think the Tigers come away with this one. Iowa: Lock of the week. I think a rested Hawkeye team coming off a bye week will have no trouble with this dreadful Wolverine offense. Senior Day in Kinnick, Iowa’s got this. Frankie Aliu: Baltimore: Ravens force Geno Smith into some bad turnovers to win the game and climb back in the playoff picture. New England: Tom Brady gets the better of Peyton and New England escapes with a close win at home. UCLA: Bruins win at home by a couple of touchdowns; I think ASU is ranked a little higher than they should be. Texas A&M: Johnny Football takes over this game and gets a big win on the road. Iowa: I have not been very impressed with Michigan this year; they might be the most disappointing team in the Big Ten besides Northwestern. Jeff Forward: Jets: Shockingly, this game has major play-off ramifications. The Jets have overachieved with a rookie QB while Joe Flacco has struggled with less weapons this season. I’m going with the foot-loving coach on this one. Denver: New England is coming off a tough slate of games with good teams, the question is how much gas is left in the tank? Peyton could make them pay, I saw he will. UCLA: Pac-12 game with big stakes riding on it will come down to how has the ball last. I say the Bruins. Texas A&M: A battle for a more prominent bowl is on the line in this SEC showdown. Manziel gives A&M the edge – even on the road. Michigan: This will be a hard-fought game with bowl implications on the line. Iowa has great run defense, UM bad run game. I see an air war won by the Wolverines. Ryan Harvey: Baltimore: Joe Flacco will be the best quarterback on the field and will spoil Ed Reed’s homecoming. Denver: In the battle of two of the best quarterbacks of today’s generation, Manning tops Brady. UCLA: Despite the close rankings, my gut says UCLA grabs this one at home. Texas A&M: Johnny football wins another shootout. Iowa: The Wolverines are reeling; Big Blue falls in Kinnick. Kristi Nixon: Jets: I’m going with New York on this one. Denver: Broncos, and Peyton Manning, remain red hot despite New England resurgence. Arizona State: Tough choice. I’m going with the gut and picking the Wildcats. Texas A&M: Again, difficult to pick. But this week seems to be good to choose the roadies. Iowa: A must-win for both teams, but it’s a home game for Iowa and I’ll stand behind the Hawkeyes’ home record.

WEEKLY PRO RACING UPDATE

Jimmie Johnson needed to ďŹ nish 23rd or better to win the 2013 Chase for the Cup and was in cruise control most of the day at Homestead. His lone hiccup came when trafďŹ c stacked-up on a restart and he and Matt Kenseth made slight contact, causing Johnson to plunge 15 spots in the ďŹ eld with damage to his fender. Johnson rallied though and ďŹ nished 9th to take his 6th Sprint Cup Championship title. Johnson won a record ďŹ ve straight titles from 2006 through 2010, was mathematically eliminated before the 2011 ďŹ nale, but was back in the title hunt last season. He had a tire failure in the second to last race at Phoenix that year and then a mechanical failure in the ďŹ nale to lose the championship to Brad Keselowski. After winning his 6th Championship Jimmie said, “This is extremely sweet. I feel like those ďŹ ve years were a blur. And things happen so fast. It’s not that I didn’t enjoy it or appreciate it or respect what happened. It just went by so fast it seems like. Now, I’m really going to slow things down here and enjoy it. This is so, so sweet.’’ Matt Kenseth, needing a Johnson collapse to have any shot at the title, positioned himself to pounce should anything go awry. He led a race-high 144 laps and ďŹ nished second to Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin. After the race, Kenseth said, “It was just an unbelievable year for us. Obviously, we wanted to win the championship as good as we ran all year.â€?

NASCAR president Mike Helton appeared open to a long-awaited revamp of the Sprint Cup Series schedule in 2015 during a news conference last week. Helton said the arrival of television partner NBC in 2015 could coincide with a different-looking schedule. Some fans and even drivers, have suggested the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup should move around to different tracks. “When we ďŹ rst started the Chase, we said that we weren’t going to change the schedule to ďŹ t the Chase, but that was 10 years ago,â€? Helton said. “Things change, and you never know what may or may not happen.

“Yes! Yes! Yes!â€? Johnson shouted at the checkered ag, after clinching the title by 19 points over Kenseth. For much of Sunday, Kenseth led the most laps, but Jimmie made one smooth circuit after another. There was a single hold-your-breath moment, on a Lap 193 restart when slow cars at the front had many vehicles wiggling on the edge of control, and a chain reaction led to Johnson banging into Kenseth from behind. The contact knocked in a fender on the No. 48 car, raised concerns of a tire going down, and dumped Johnson from eighth place to 23rd. Suddenly, Johnson’s margin was down to only 14 points. Then Paul Menard’s car blew a rear tire to bring out a caution and Johnson’s crisis was averted. “I knew our car was plenty good enough to drive back up there,â€? Knaus said. “Wish we could have raced for it ‌but we’ll take what we got. We got a pretty cool trophy.â€?

PROGRESS MARCHES ON FOR CAL By Kristi Nixon LATIMER – Steps are being taken to steadily improve the Cadet volleyball team. It showed in the 2013 Fall campaign for CAL, in which it scored two more wins from a year ago to finish 5-15. With a large freshman class competing, coach Amanda Rapp’s squad earned its first win in five years over Iowa Star Conference foe Clarksville, as well as a pair of victories over CWL and single wins over North Central Conference opponents Eagle Grove and Clear Lake. As the team had four returning starters from a year ago and freshman Stephanie Thielen stepping in to take over setting duties, the Cadets improved in all areas. Thielen distributed 120 of the team’s 177 assists. CAL recorded 254 kills compared to 119 and its serve efficiency went from .761 to .848 with 148 aces, two more than the previous year.

Also, the Cadets improved their digs per set at 7.97, up from 5.66 in 2012. Senior Karter Miller returned to take second team Iowa Star allconference honors after earning honorable mention a year ago, bettering her totals from her junior season. She went from 42 kills to 99 and went from .752 serve efficiency to .793. Miller also led the team this season with 109 digs. Jenna Johnson, also, had a markedly improved defensive tally in her final season with the Cadets. She improved from 59 digs to 73. She had a team-high 15 blocks. Her efforts garnered her Iowa Star Conference honorable mention this season. And junior Sidney Turner, who led the team a year ago in digs with 69, finished this season with 81. The Cadets still had to face ranked and state-qualifying conference teams in Janesville and Tripoli, but even those matches

showed an improved CAL team. Sophomore Emily Quinones stepped up her production from a year ago, going from playing in just six sets to 58 with 130-163 serving with 23 aces and 51 digs as highlights. Dianna Porzio, who was the top returning player on serving from her freshman year, improved her efficiency from .783 with 12 aces to .824 with 31 aces this year. Three seniors graduate from this squad, including Amber Zewert, Miller and Johnson, but six freshmen who played extensively on the junior varsity and some varsity will seek to fill in, along with several returning letter winners from 2013. Among other team awards was the Cadets earning the Distinguished Academic Award, which requires a team grade point average of 3.5 with CAL earning a cumulative 3.71 average.

The 2013 CAL volleyball team includes, (L-R) Front row: Amber Zewert, Karter Miller, Jenna Johnson. Middle row: Dianna Porzio, Mariah Egertson, Rachael Arnold, Sidney Turner, Aly Hamilton, Emily Quinones. Back row: Head coach Amanda Rapp, Hannah Lohrbach, Brianna Pals, Clarissa Gomez, Shyanna Carpenter, Katlynn Arthur, Kaylea Rew, Stephanie Thielen and assistant coach Abby Rapp. (Kristi Nixon/Hampton Chronicle)

The Tall Corn FFA attended the National FFA Convention the week of Oct. 28-Nov. 1. The students in attendance were Joe DeVries, Spencer Brinkman, Brooke Benning, Lauren Dirksen, Morrigan Miller, Mallory Wohlford, Jasmine Robbins, Jilissa Schmidt, Morgan Marshall, and Austin Busma. The chapter left Tuesday morning and went with three other schools: Belmond-Klemme, Forest City, and Lake Mills. We stopped at Hawkeye Community College and got to ride in a GPS equipped tractor and grain wagon. We also got to take a tour of their wonderful animal facilities.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

SPOTLIGHT ON...Leo Ceja

BULLDOG CAFE GETS A VISIT FROM LINDA UPMEYER

By Israel Rodriguez & Nikki Donnenwerth

When it comes to drawing, to say that junior Leo Ceja is gifted would be an understatement. While walking the halls, Leo can usually be found with his sketchbook under his arm, stopping occasionally with a smile when someone asks to see it. Flipping through his sketchbook, \RX¡OO Ă€QG FRPLF FKDUDFWHUV Will Smith with Martin Lawrence, and Bob Marley. The natural reaction is to gasp at the quality of work you would swear was done by a professional. Most have to do a double-take to make sure the artist they are talking to is a 17-year-old kid. Ceja enjoys all of his art classes with his teacher, Mrs. Havlin, but he also has the self-motivation and love of art that keeps him drawing outside of school. “Some of the things that make Leo unique is that he has great observation skills, he is a hard worker, and he seems to march to his own drum beat,â€? explains Mrs. Havlin. The amazing products however, don’t just come from raw talent. It has taken

Leo time to develop his skills since he started drawing ten years ago. He has learned a lot through his patience. Of his love of drawing, Ceja explains, “I like to draw faces and objects; things I can see for a while.â€? He also says that he has a lot to learn. “I haven’t mastered drawing because each day you learn something new and once you learn it, you have to practice it to get better.â€? Just listening to Ceja talk about art, you would believe him when he says he loves art as much as he does food. And while there are many DUWLVWV KH Ă€QGV LQWHUHVWLQJ he can’t pinpoint a favorite. “I like every type of an artist’s work so I don’t really have a favorite.â€? Over time, Leo has only VDYHG WZHQW\ Ă€YH RU WKLUW\ of his drawings because he considers much of his work practice. What he’s got in his book however, is enough to make your jaw drop. It’s clear that Leo’s love and passion for art is something he will practice and enjoy for the rest of his life.

The Hampton-Dumont School District, the high school in particular, got a special treat on Friday November 8th, when state representative and house majority leader Linda Upmeyer visited to experience Bulldog Cafe. She was escorted by Superintendent Todd Lettow, Curriculum Director Jen Koenen and School Board President Ron Raney. Between bites of beef empanadas

Above: Leo Ceja stops for a picture

and Mexican corn salad, Upmeyer had time to answer some questions about her 12-year term and to offer advice to students. “[I would] encourage students to take advantage of all opportunities, work hard, and try a lot of things.â€? This was Upmeyer’s Ă€UVW YLVLW WR %XOOGRJ &DIH Jane Hoegh, Family and Consumer Science teacher and Bulldog Cafe leader, says of Upmeyer’s visit, “It

was an honor for her to visit our program knowing how supportive she is of career and technical education.� Bulldog Cafe students hope to see Linda Upmeyer again and look forward for the next opportunity to wow her with their culinary and interpersonal skills.

Salute to Franklin County 4-H

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

Franklin County 4-H

1

Honorary 4-H member receiving recognition at this year’s ceremony were Karen Zander, left, Barbara Ristau, middle, and Sheryl Rush, right.

4-H ALUMNI/HONORARY MEMBER RECOGNITION The more than 45 million 4-H alumni in our population are a rich resource for the 4-H program. The 4-H Alumni Recognition honors former 4-H members for their outstanding accomplishments after 4-H membership. Recognition goes to those alumni who retain their interest in 4-H and support for the program. Recipients are chosen on the basis of effective leadership, public service, service to 4-H, and setting a positive example for young people. Each year the Franklin County 4-H Organization honors former 4-H members whose achievements exemplify citizenship, leadership, community and public service. Recipients are selected by the County 4-H and Youth Committee. This year’s Alumni Award recipient is Zach Vosburg. Zach is a 10 year alumni member of the Franklin Lakers, and later the Franklin XL’s 4-H Club in Franklin County from 1989 – 1999. Zach was involved with woodworking, photography and horse, pony and mule 4-H projects. At his local club, Zach held every office and was a member of the County Youth 4-H Council in 1997-1999. Some of the awards Zach earned as a 4-H’er includes: Outstanding Junior, Intermediate, and Senior Record Books; Senior Award Trip; and Senior Horsemanship and Showmanship. Zach attributes his background in 4-H to lead him to get involved with the World Food Prize. This enabled him to work at a variety of international research centers throughout his late teens and twenty’s. A few years ago Zach and his family moved back to Hampton, and have recently purchased the Hampton Veterinary Center. As the Franklin County Fair Veterinary, he works closely with many 4-H members and their livestock projects. Zach has also been a guest speaker at the North Central Iowa Youth Beef Conference, teaching youth about health care, palpation, and using ultra sound for pregnancy checking cows. Thank you Zach, for your outstanding service to the Franklin County 4-H Organization. Honorary Member recognition honors individuals or businesses who may not have been former 4-H members but show strong interest and support for the program. The Franklin County 4-H Organization is honoring Barbara Ristau, Sheryl Rush, and Karen Zander, otherwise known as the “4-H Food Stand Ladies” for their support of the Franklin County 4-H program. For many years the Franklin County 4-H Food Stand located on the Franklin County Fairgrounds was run by a committee of volunteers. In 1991 the County 4-H Foundation asked Barb to take over the management of the food stand. Most members stayed on to help run the kitchen during the fair, as Barb took on the responsibility of ordering, purchasing and directing kitchen operations. In 1996 Barb’s responsibilities at Franklin County Extension had increased, so she asked food stand committee member, Karen Zander, to help. As a former county 4-H’er, Karen remembers working in the old food stand. Karen agreed and was responsible for directing kitchen operations, while Barb continued to do all of the ordering, collecting supplies, reconciling bills, and general care of the building. As it became too difficult to find couples to fill vacancies on the food stand committee, our 4-H clubs were asked to name a representative from each club to be in charge and help the club during their shift working in the food stand. At this same time, Sheryl Rush agreed to come on board to help Barb and Karen. Sheryl’s parents had been food stand committee members years ago, and she too remembers working in the old food stand as a 4-H’er. Sheryl oversees kitchen operations during the breakfast and lunch shifts, Karen oversees the midafternoon to closing shifts, while Barb continues to make all of the ordering, collecting supplies, handles the money, reconciles bills, makes improvement recommendations and oversees the management of the building. Thank you Barb, Sheryl, and Karen, for all your time and support of the Franklin County 4-H program, as well as running an efficient food stand. The Franklin County 4-H Program benefits from the profits of the food stand which funds the Franklin County 4-H Foundation. 4-H’ers that have received scholarships to attend camps, state 4-H conferences, CWF trip to Washington D.C., team competitions, and workshops, as well as funding part or all of your State 4-H Development Fee, owe gratitude to the profits from our 4-H Food Stand! 4-H AGRICULTURE & NATURAL RESOURCES 4-H’ers that enjoy the outdoors have several project choices. In 4-H Crop Production members can get their hands dirty while learning about soil, bugs, and other stuff, and how they affect the crops they grow. In 4-H Environment & Sutainability members discover how the choices they make everyday affect our whole world forever. Through the 4-H Home Grounds Improvement and Horticulture Project, 4-H’ers explore the basic principles of plant science; they learn to plan, care for and manage vegetable or flower gardens; and they learn effective, safe methods of pest control, and they learn to investigate landscape plans and techniques. In 4-H Outdoor Adventures members go backpacking, hike a trail, build a campfire, ride a bike, or reel in the big one! 4-H Safety & Education in Shooting sports 4-H’ers get to hit their target with a bow, rifle or shotgun. Awards were presented to: Crop Production: County Bronze: Kolton Koenen. Environment: County Bronze: Johnathon Aalfs. Home Grounds Improvement: Certificate of Completion: Stephanie Thielen. Horticulture: County Bronze: Johnathon Aalfs, Lucas Diggins, Mackenzie Kielty, Anika Miller, Shayla Schmitt, Jenna White. County Silver: Savanna Baldwin, Abby Castillo, Collin Meints. County Gold: Ethan Meints Completing: MaKenna Kuper. Natural Resources: County Bronze: Kolton Koenen. Outdoor Adventures: County Bronze: Lucas Diggins, Jacob Odem. Shooting Sports: County Silver: Nick Diggins.

Middle row: Johnathon Ohrt, Conner Rieks, Daniel Jones and Megan Marlett. Back row: Andy Castillo, Zach Vanness and Zach Fjeld.

LLAMA, PETS, POULTRY, RABBITS, VET and ANIMAL SCIENCE PROJECT AWARDS After project records had been reviewed by the county project leaders and County 4-H and Youth Committee, the following 4-H members were selected to receive awards: Animal Science: County Bronze: MaKenna Kuper, Josie Winterberg. Poultry: County Bronze: Brienna Riechenbacher, John Reichenbacher, Macey Rust. County Silver: KC Feldman, Warren Miller. County Gold: Mikki Feldman. Completed: William Miller. Rabbit: County Bronze: Miranda DeVries, Elle Latham, Brienna Reichenbacher. County Silver: KC Feldman, Warren Miller.

Veterinary Science: Certificate of Completion: Lucas Diggins, Jacob Fjeld. 4-H BEEF AWARDS The potential of the 4-H Beef Project is greater today than ever before. Some very real, yet very exciting challenges face the beef industry. The 4-H Beef Project provides young people with a broad-based view of the beef industry, stimulates interest in producing a quality product, and gives beef industry leaders the opportunity to work with those young people on issues concerning the industry. Through the beef project, the industry assures itself of a capable work force in the future – using “learning by doing” methods, beef project members learn practical skills in the production, management, marketing, consumer relations, consumer education and career selection. Members in this project develop life skills and practical abilities in finance, record keeping, animal health care, decision making, public relations, and the ability to share what they have learned. The following Beef Project members were recognized at the Annual 4-H Awards Night held November 3, 2013: County Bronze: Wyatt Benning, Zach DeVries, Aaron DeVries, Jacob Fjeld, Riley Rankin, Mac Rust, Macey Rust, Matt Waddingham, Jenny Wibholm. County Silver: Amanda Fjeld, Regan Hickman, Jack Wibholm. County Gold: Nathan Ackerman, Saje Ites, Tyler Waddingham, Zach Waddingham. Also Completing: Levi Anderson, Kayla Anderson, Brooke Benning, Hanna Benning Gabrielle Hoversten, Grace Hoversten, Henry Hoversten, Shayla Schmitt, Kirsten Suntken. Bottle/Bucket Calf The Bottle/Bucket Calf project is an opportunity for youth in grades 4 to 6 to learn about caring for a young calf. Youth select a calf with an adult partner (parent, 4-H leader, neighbor, relative, etc.). The partners then work together to raise the calf, completing learning experiences that focus on calf housing, calf nutrition, and calf health. Since this project emphasizes what the youth learned through these experiences, success in this project is not based on the quality of the calf. These 4-H members completed records and earned the following awards: County Bronze: Matt Waddingham. Certificate of Completion: Jason Meier, Morgan Meier. 4-H’ERS LEARN EFFICIENT AND PRODUCTIVE DAIRY SKILLS The 4-H Dairy Project gives young people the opportunity to learn about the dairy industry and the significant contribution in makes to America’s agricultural industry. 4-H’ers learn the basics of animal nutrition and health. Recognized for progress in the 4-H Dairy Project were: Dairy Cattle: County Bronze: Trevor Clawson. Completing: Jason Meier, Morgan Meier. DOG PROJECT WINNERS ARE ANIMAL LOVERS In the 4-H Dog Project, youth learn responsibility and they develop a greater understanding and appreciation for animals. They learn the practical details of dog care and health maintenance as they develop skills in dog obedience. The 4-H’ers learn how to provide the continuous training and care that allows a dog to become a companion...a pet...a friend. 4-H’ers who demonstrated sound dog care and training skills in 201213 receiving county awards are: County Bronze: Justine Jordahl. County Silver: Collin Meints. Completed: Brienna Reichenbacher, Macey Rust. 4-H HORSE, PONY, AND MULE PROJECT The joy of being able to care for an animal which one loves and having the skills to train, ride, and exhibit that animal is one of the greatest rewards a young person receives as a participant in the 4-H Horse Project. Through this project, young people experience the satisfaction of owning and caring for horses, ponies or mules and of assuming responsibility for their management and training. They learn about breeding and feeding, housing and health, riding and training, and showing and judging. County awards presented were: County Bronze: Brienna Reichenbacher, Macey Rust, Mac Rust. County Gold: Morrigan Miller. Completed: Summer Phillips. 4-H SHEEP & MEAT GOAT PROJECT AWARDS The 4-H Sheep and Meat Goat Project are two of the most successful and rapidly growing project areas in 4-H today. Whether 4-H’ers feed and manage one lamb or breed and raise an entire flock, they have the opportunity to learn and employ efficient marketing methods and demonstrate sound breeding, feeding, and management practices. Sheep Project: County Silver: Will Alert. Also Completing: Blake Miller , Elizabeth Theisen. Meat Goat: Completing: Shayla Schmitt, Elizabeth Thiesen, Jenny Wibholm, Jack Wibholm. Application deadline for State Project Awards will be February 1, 2014. For more information on recognition opportunities and awards go to the website: www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/page/recognition-opportunities or please contact 4-H Recognition Day coordinator, Cayla Taylor- cayla@iastate.edu, 515-294-1877.

4-H’ERS RECEIVE SWINE PROJECT AWARDS The 4-H Swine Project is one of the oldest and strongest educational efforts of 4-H, dating back to the first corn and pig clubs organized in the early 1900’s. Since then, some seven million young people have been involved in the project. The 4-H Swine Project continues to provide 4-H’ers realistic learning experiences in animal production, management and marketing. The swine project not only has contributed significantly to the development of creative, productive citizens but also has provided vocational training in improved swine production practices. The training 4-H’ers receive in the swine project has had a direct and highly positive effect on the efficiency of swine production in the United States. 4-H Swine Project awards were presented to: County Silver: Ryan Keninger. County Gold: Robert Alert. PART OF THE LEADERSHIP TEAM Franklin County can boast 32 club leaders on their 4-H team. These dedicated volunteers are what keeps club work going. They give unselfishly of their time in many ways. They act as a liaison between the Extension Office and the 4-H members, carrying project information and procedures to their local clubs. Leaders provide a role model to the members by working with them on club activities such as the fair booth display, window display, club fund raising projects and community service projects. They encourage each member to work to their fullest potential and to develop their own leadership capabilities. More than thirty adults in Franklin County received personal satisfactions from serving as volunteer 4-H club leaders in 2012-13: FC Shamrocks: Darshan Miller, Morgan Miller. Franklin XL’s: Carma DeVries, Paul Benning, Todd Dirksen. Freedom: Rita Odem, Dawn Humburg. Gummy Bots of Doom: Gail Castillo. Kitchen Krew: Michelle Sackville, Pat Sackville.

Southwest Franklin: Denelle McWherter, Bret Anderson. Tri-L: Brenda Fjeld, Laura Brunsen. Washington Winners: Nadine Baltes, Tracy Baltes. West Fork Winners: Daren Meints, Marilee Jones. 4-H’ERS STUDY NUTRITION AND FOOD PREPARATION Every day, people make many decisions about which foods to eat, and they start doing so at a very young age. Youth is the best time to learn about good eating habits and food-related issues. Youngsters have the opportunity to build good habits rather than facing the necessity of correcting bad habits later in life. The 4-H Food and Nutrition project helps young people take responsibility for making healthful food choices. Food and nutrition learning experiences in 4-H make the fitness-nutrition connection by encouraging 4-H’ers to establish a fitness plan based on knowledge of one’s nutritional needs, lifestyle and physical condition. As they develop skills in planning, selecting, preparing, serving and storing food, 4-H’ers come to understand how our food choices are influenced and they explore career opportunities in Food and Nutrition. Awards were presented at the Annual 4-H Awards Night to the following members: Food & Nutrition: County Bronze: Hannah Jorgensen, Summer Phillips, Keturah Sauke. County Silver: Abby Castillo Cameron Johnson, Zachary Jorges, Emily Swenson, Jonah VanHorn. County Gold: Jenna Borcherding, Mikki Feldman. Also Completing: Nicholas Bottorff, Jacob Odem, Erin Brunsen, Chelsea Odem, Lucas Diggins, Katelyn Proctor, Saje Ites, Cassidy Robbins, Alexis Johnson, Benji Sauke, Izabel Miller, William Stuck, Dawn Nicholson, Melanie VanHorn, Aubrie Obermier, Josie Winterberg. Consumer Management: County Bronze: Kirsten Suntken, Claire Wearda.

Salute to Franklin County 4-H

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

4-H’ERS LEARN RELATIONSHIP AND PARENTING SKILLS Children grow up to be parents generation after generation. But the patterns of parenting change from one generation to the next. 4-H’ers can get help for the parenting ahead through the 4-H Child Development Project. These projects help them gain knowledge and understanding of people and different family systems that they experience through friendships and babysitting. The 4-H Child Development Project offers three levels: (1) learning and sharing; (2) caring for children; and (3) parenting ahead. The third project level, parenting ahead, helps 4-H’ers find out who they are and how they feel about families. At this level they also develop skills related to future relationships as well as future adult roles. There are a lot of basic materials and information in the three units for human development. Both boys and girls are limited only by their imaginations to set goals and share what they are learning as they grow. Awarded was: County Bronze: Carrinton Hunt.

Hampton Chronicle • Section C VISUAL ARTS ARE A CREATIVE EXPRESSION OF 4-H’ERS 4-H’ers enrolled in the 4-H Visual Arts Project have an excellent opportunity to learn about themselves and express themselves creatively. The experience of creation is important in itself, often more important than the finished object. Young artists express themselves in a wide range of media including fiber, clay, metal, paper, textiles, natural material, leather, wood, glass, plastic, chalk, pigment, and carbon. Those selected to receive awards in 4-H Visual Arts were: County Bronze: Nicholas Bottorff, Erin Brunsen, Miranda DeVries, Alayna Hunt, Aubrie Obermier, Summer Phillips, Benji Sauke. County Silver: Paige Brunsen, Zachary Jorges, Chelsea Odem, Jonah VanHorn. County Gold: Katelyn Baltes.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT COMES WHEN 4-H’ERS INTERPRET THEIR LEARNING TO OTHERS Personal development projects show creativity and determination. 4-H’ers exploring personal development may enroll in or increase their skills in areas of Communication, Computer, and Self-Determined projects. Such exploration becomes even more challenging when it comes time for the 4-H’er to interpret what was learned with an exhibit for the public. Fair exhibits may be a notebook, journal, poster or slide set in addition to an object. Those selected to receive awards in these project areas were: Communications: County Bronze: Jaiden Shahan. Completing: Hannah Winkowitsch. Self-Determined: County Bronze: Andrew Fredericks. County Silver: Blake Miller. County Gold: Megan Marlette, Karter Miller.

HOME IMPROVEMENT PROJECT GIVES 4-H’ERS OPPORTUNITIES The 4-H Home Improvement Project provides great opportunities for self-expression, but also poses challenges. 4-H’ers learn and apply principles of design and function to make the home more attractive, convenient, and comfortable within the family’s resources. They plan home living spaces in keeping with the needs of the family members and experience satisfaction from a home that expresses personal creativity and family life style. They develop skills through quality workmanship and recognition of quality products for making changes in the home. They also apply techniques of efficient use of energy as it relates to housing, furnishings, and home equipment, and explore alternate sources of energy. Awards given in the Home Improvement Project this year are: County Bronze: Lucas Diggins, Mikayla Fjeld, Mackenzie Kielty, Jacob Odem, Erin Plagge, Katelyn Proctor, Keturah Sauke, Jenna White, Josie Winterberg.

4-H’ERS IN CLOTHING AND SEWING PROJECTS Although 4-H’ers in the clothing project learn to make, purchase and care for clothing and accessories and to choose equipment needed to do so, they derive other important benefits as well. Young people develop consumer skills as they learn to choose fabrics and notions as well as ready-made garments and accessories. They also apply consumer skills to the selection of equipment needed for clothing construction, repair, and maintenance and learn to use that equipment properly. Through the Clothing Project, 4-H’ers strive to develop judgment and creativity in planning an attractive wardrobe which expresses their individual life style. They also grow in self-confidence and poise as they learn to make the most of their individual attributes. In the Sewing and Needle Arts Project 4-H’ers are encouraged to “Stitch This!”, by using their sewing skills and creativity to make clothes, pillowcases, horse blankets, or anything else they can stitch, knit or crochet! Clothing: County Bronze: Hannah Jorgensen, MaKenna Kuper, Jacob Odem, Cassidy Robbins. County Silver: Chelsea Odem, Madi Vanness. County Gold: Karter Miller.

COUNTY PROJECT LEADERS EXPAND 4-H’ERS HORIZONS IN SPECIALIZED AREAS Area adult leaders volunteer their knowledge, talents and time to 4-H groups by serving as county project leaders. These leaders work with individual members or a group enrolled in a specific project area at a workshop, home visit, tour, achievement day, special project activity, or county fair. 4-H offers a variety of project areas which adult volunteers support and help members learn knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Project Leaders are a valuable asset to the local 4-H program and can make a significant contribution to the growth and development of young people. They earn respect and friendship on members, parents, other leaders, and extension staff. In addition, these volunteers have the opportunity to continue their own personal growth and assume increasingly responsible leadership roles at the county level. The people who served as Franklin County 4-H project leaders in 2012-13 were: Aerospace and Sport Fishing: Darwin Meyer. Beef: April Hemmes, Rhonda Wenzel. Child Development and Visual Arts: Karen Zander. Citizenship and Leadership: Gail Castillo. Communications: Tricia Christiansen, Val Plagge. Conservation, Sport Fishing, and Wildlife: Dennis Carlson.

Salute to Franklin County 4-H

Wednesday, November 20, 2013

4-H: BUILDING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS AND FUTURE LEADERS 4-H Citizenship is making favors for hospital patients or senior citizens, adopting a highway, building a new playground, helping to solve community problems, speaking out on community issues. Yet, citizenship is more than an act or activity. It is an attribute of an individual’s character, a value system which leads an individual to demonstrate social responsibility and contribute to community development. This is the 4-H Citizenship Project, a project allowing young people to both demonstrate and strengthen their commitment to building a better nation. 4-H members enrolled in Citizenship learn how issues affect our state and our nation and how an individual can become involved in addressing these issues. 4-H Citizenship awards recognize the achievements of 4-H’ers as they develop the skills they need to be active, well-adjusted community members. 4-H Leadership teaches members that leaders influence and support others in a positive manner for a shared goal. Leaders aren’t just elected. You can be a member of committees, small groups and teams. Learning about yourself and how you work with others is a key part of developing leadership skills. Understand roles, attitudes, tasks and functions necessary for effective leadership. Strengthen local 4-H units in leadership responsibility and encourage other youth. Participate in program planning, development, and implementation; help recruit new members and leaders. Citizenship: County Bronze: Katyann Aalfs. County Gold: Jenna Borcherding, Brooklyn Plagge.
