4-H WEEK October 2-8, 2016 #4HGROWN

4-H - Nation’s Largest Youth Program

Since 4-H began more than 100 years ago, it has become the nation’s largest youth development organization. The 4-H idea is simple: help young people and their families gain the skills needed to be proactive forces in their communities’ and develop ideas for a more innovative economy.

4-H opened the door for young people to learn leadership skills and revolutionized how youth connected to practical, hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom.

In the late 1800’s, researchers discovered adults in the farming community did not readily accept new agricultural developments on university campuses, but found that young people were open to new thinking and would experiment with new ideas and share their experiences with adults. In this way, rural youth programs introduced new agriculture technology to communities.

The idea of practical and “hands-on” learning came from the desire to connect public school education to country life. Building community clubs to help solve agricultural challenges was a first step toward youth learning more about the industries in their community.

1902: Youth Clubs are Formed. A. B. Graham

started a youth program in Clark County, Ohio, in 1902, which is considered the birth of 4-H in the United States. The first club was called “The Tomato Club” or the “Corn Growing Club”. T.A. Erickson of Douglas County, Minnesota, started local agricultural after-school clubs and fairs that same year. Jessie Field Shambaugh developed the clover pin with an H on each leaf in 1910, and by 1912 they were called 4-H clubs.

1914: Cooperative Extension System is Created The passage of the Smith-Lever Act in 1914 created the Cooperative Extension System at USDA and nationalized 4-H. By 1924, 4-H clubs were formed and the clover emblem was adopted.

The Cooperative Extension System is a partnership of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), the 110 land-grant universities and more than 3,000 county offices across the nation.

Cooperative Extension combines the expertise and resources of federal, state, and local governments and is designed to meet the need for research, knowledge and educational programs.

4-H builds character.

4-H builds good citizens!

Why 4-H

National 4-H Week

The Iowa 4-H Youth Development Program provides opportunities for youth to develop skills they can use now and throughout their life. Iowa 4-H builds upon a century of experience as it fosters positive youth development that is based on the needs and strengths of youth, their families, and communities.

Iowa 4-H follows the principles of experiential learning and draws on the knowledge base of Iowa State University and other institutions of higher education in cooperation with the United States Department of Agriculture. The Iowa 4-H Program’s vision and mission statements clearly view youth as partners working with caring adults, and as full participants in planning and working for individual and community change.

Vision: Preparing Iowa’s youth to be successful, contributing members of society.

Mission: 4-H empowers youth to reach their full potential through youth-adult partnerships and research-based experiences.

Values: Iowa 4-H youth and adults value:

*youth as powerful members of society

*youth and adults as caring partners

*learning as a lifelong commitment

*diversity and social conscience

*doing our best and making it better

4-H helps our young people reach their full potential.

Studies show youth who participate in 4-H do better in school, are more motivated to help others, feel safe to try new things, achieve a sense of self esteem, and develop lasting friendships.

Join the 4-H community as a member or volunteer leader today.

For more information contact your local 4-H program at 319-334-7161.

Join 4-H or Clover Kids today!

4-H is a program that is open to all K-12 grade students and is the nation’s largest youth development organization growing confident young people who are empowered for life today and prepared for a career tomorrow. The 4-H program is broken into two areas; K-3 grade students participate in Clover Kids clubs, while 4-12 grade students participate in 4-H clubs.

Children participate in hands-on activities designed to build lots of different life skills!

Clover Kids will explore science with simple science experiments, strengthen motor skills through a variety of art and craft experiences, have fun learning and playing cooperative games, make friends and learn to work together with others in a group setting and so much more! Social skills and working with others are important parts of the Clover Kids program. It’s important that each child feel like an important part of the group, this is why Clover Kids work together rather than competing. Since competition is not appropriate for children 3rd grade and younger, games in which someone “gets out� or where there a definite winner and loser are avoided.

4-H is a youth program that promotes leadership, citizenship, and community service.

Buchanan County ISU Extension and Outreach office manages Buchanan County 4-H programming; where there are 15 clubs that members can choose to be a part of.

Joining a 4-H club teaches lifelong skills through the different events and activities that are offered. Every club is different and unique in their own way. Some focus on livestock, while others gear towards exhibits or the environment. To find out more detailed information about the clubs check out the Buchanan County 4-H webpage at http://www.extension.iastate.edu/buchanan/page/join-4-h.

These research-based 4-H experiences yield young people who are four times more likely to contribute to their communities; two times more likely to make healthier choices; two times more likely to be civically active; and two times more likely to participate in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) programs.

For questions about joining contact Alexia Hamlett, County Youth Coordinator, Buchanan County Iowa State University Extension and Outreach at 319-334-7161 or ahamlett@iastate.edu

National 4-H Week

PAGE 8 October 6, 2016

The News & The Guide

What is now known as National 4-H Week began as an outgrowth of World War II. Following Pearl Harbor, it was decided to postpone holding the National 4-H Camp in Washington, D.C., until the cessation of hostilities. W. H. Palmer, State 4-H Leader in Ohio, soon after announced plans for a State 4-H Mobilization Week for Ohio as a means of focusing the attention of 4-H members on what they might do for national defense. This idea met with favorable response by State leaders throughout the country. As a result, the Federal Extension Service initiated National 4-H Mobilization Week which was observed annually in 1942, 1943 and 1944. The following year and each year since, it has been observed as National 4-H Week.

National 4-H continues to be a major promotion and visibility time for 4-H... a time for “shouting out” the successes of the previous year, plans for the future, recruiting new members and new leaders and honoring the achievements of the current members and volunteers.

The 4-H colors are green and white. Green is nature’s most common color and represents youth, life and growth. White symbolizes purity and high ideals.

4-H Motto: To Make the Best Better 4-H Creed: I believe in 4-H Club work 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 to reason.

I believe in the training of my HEART for the nobleness it will give me to be kind, sympathetic and true.

I believe in the training of my HANDS for the ability it will give me to be helpful, skillful, and useful.

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, and my community and in my responsibility for their development.

In all these things I believe, and am willing to dedicate my efforts to their fulfillment.

National 4-H Week

Buchanan Co. 4-H’ers enjoy Omaha Zoo Trip

Submitted by Buchanan Co. ISU Extension

Thirteen Buchanan County 4-H’ers went on a trip to the Omaha Henry Doorly Zoo and Aquarium with 26 other 4-H members from Bremer, Black Hawk, Butler, and Tama counties in September. This was a two-day trip for the 6-8th graders who participated in a sleeping bag safari campout.

Zoo tour guides took members on a night hike where they were able to enter the Kingdoms of the Night and see the alligators and other nocturnal exhibits. Another exhibit they ventured into was the Lied Jungle to explore the natural rainforest, see the monkeys, tapirs, macaws, and bats. After the hiking adventure the kids slept under the sharks at the Suzanne and Walter Scott Aquarium.

They had a fun experience and were able to wake up and set off on a morning tour to see the Orangutan Forest and the Cat Complex, which houses 30 cats including the tiger, jaguar and amur. One of the favorite sites to see was

the African Grasslands where the kids were able to feed the giraffes and see the elephants.

This is just one of the fun opportunities 4-H members are able to do. To join 4-H call Buchanan County ISU Extension and Outreach at 319-334-7161 or email ahamlett@iastate.edu.

Now is the time of year for youth to join and participate in 4-H, the youth development program of Iowa State University Extension and Outreach. Delaware County will be celebrating all things 4-H during National 4-H Week October 2-8.

Youth have fun while gaining valuable skills in communication and the arts, citizenship and leadership, science, technology, engineering and math, as well as healthy living and personal life management by being involved in 4-H. In Delaware County, more than 360 4-H members and 150 volunteers are involved in 4- H! 4-H Grows here in Delaware County! Here’s all the exciting events happening throughout National 4-H Week.

Delaware County Youth Coordinator, Kenzie Griffin, will be visiting the local fourth grade classrooms to talk about 4-H and how to get involved with a club in the community. Be on the look-out for 4-H window displays at area businesses in Delaware County.

To learn more about how 4-H youth development is empowering young people in Delaware County, call 563927-4201.

The Iowa Department of Public Health (IDPH) is reminding Iowans to take steps to protect themselves from mosquito bites in the coming weeks. Late summer and early fall are the seasons of peak West Nile virus activity in the state. “During the summer months, packing bug spray is just part of the routine for outdoor activities,” said Dr. Ann Garvey.

Iowans should take the following steps to reduce the risk of exposure to West Nile virus: • Use insect repellent with DEET, picaridin, IR3535, or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Always read label and consult with a health care provider with questions when using these types of products for children. DEET should not be used on infants less than two months old and oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used under three years old.

• Avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

• Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, shoes, and socks whenever possible outdoors.

Approximately 20% of people infected with West Nile virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than 1% of people infected become seriously ill and rarely, someone dies.

So far this year, 15 cases of West Nile virus have been confirmed in Iowa.

Warmer and drier weather allowed Iowa farmers 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending October 2, 2016, according the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. While harvest was starting to gain momentum there were many reports of muddy conditions and standing water in some fields. Fieldwork activities for the week included cutting hay, harvesting corn and soybeans, and fall tillage.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 3 percent short, 79 percent adequate and 17 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 4 percent short, 76 percent adequate and 19 percent surplus.

Eighty-eight percent of the corn crop was mature or beyond, 2 days ahead of last year, and 4 days ahead of the five-year average. Ten percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, 1 day behind last year and 9 days behind average. Corn condition rated 81 percent good to excellent. Ninety-six percent of soybeans were turning color or beyond, equal to both last year and the average. Eighty-five percent of soybeans were dropping leaves or beyond, 4 days ahead of average. Twenty-one percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, 1 day behind last year’s pace. Soybean condition rated 81 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay is almost complete at 98 percent. Pasture condition rated 64 percent good to excellent. Livestock were reported to be in good condition except for areas with flooded pastures.

WEATHER SUMMARY The past week was the driest in Iowa in seven months with a statewide average of only 0.01 inches compared to a weekly normal of 0.71 inches. Most of the western two-thirds of the state saw no measurable rain while the largest amount reported was just 0.15 inches which fell south of Goose Lake in Clinton County. The bulk of what little rain fell occurred on Friday into Saturday. Temperatures were mostly near to slightly above normal.

Temperature extremes varied from morning lows of 38 degrees at the Spencer Airport and Sheldon on Thursday (29th) morning and again at the Spencer Airport on Friday (30th) morning to highs of 78 degrees at Shenandoah, Lamoni and Bedford on Tuesday (27th) afternoon and at Hampton and Pocahontas on Sunday (2nd). Temperatures for the week as a whole averaged 1.9 degrees above normal.

Aquatic, Forest and Right-Of-Way course is Oct. 19

County Health Center Your entire body benefits from regular exercise.

Regardless of your age or physical shape, it is important to incorporate physical activity into you day. Exercise not only tones and strengthens your muscles, it also can improve your mood, increase immune function, benefit your sleep, and reduce your risk for developing chronic diseases among numerous other benefits.

You do not need fancy gym equipment to reap the rewards of exercise. You can achieve cardiovascular benefits from a brisk walk or other heart-pumping moves such as jumping jacks. You can also accomplish strength training benefits without equipment with basic bodyweight moves.

Here’s a sample circuit training workout you can do on your own that includes both cardiovascular and strength moves, yet requires no equipment. Complete each circuit 1-3 times based on your fitness level.

Circuit 1: -15 step ups each leg -15 pushups -15 lunges each leg Circuit 2: -15 squat jumps -15 tricep dips -60 second plank with leg lift Circuit 3: -30 second wall sit -15 bicycle crunches -30 second side plank each side                               6HSW                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 6HSWHPEHU                                                     
