High Desert Leadership Retreat 2020 An Airship to Leadership, Are YOU Ready for Take Off?

High Desert Leadership Retreat at Eagle Crest Resort outside of Redmond on Martin Luther King weekend continues to be an outstanding opportunity for youth 7th-12th grade. Outstanding hands-on workshop opportunities, condo living with 5 or 6 of your newest friends, grocery shopping and a mystery dinner round out the four days of pure fun, education, and relationship building between youth and adults alike. While the official, “how much did you learn” evaluation results aren’t compiled yet, an end of the event debrief discovered that HDLR is an event participants look forward to and want us to continue. Although the venue remains the same, each year is different and as youth mature, they experience the event differently. It is truly one of the most exceptional leadership developing, team building, and personal discovery opportunities 4-H provides in our region. This year we shared the experience with about 125 youth, 22 adult chaperones, and 4 or 5 additional staff members. We had a few teens go home because of illness, and we missed out on Klamath County due to closed road conditions, but beyond that, it was a great time. The event utilizes information gathered from

participants and 4-H youth in our counties to work as a team to put on the event. Every detail is considered, organized, often re-organized, and implemented – this year we had youth participants from Clackamas, Benton, Deschutes, Crook, Jefferson, Wheeler, Gilliam, Sherman, Linn, Polk, and Lane counties (probably others I can’t come up with at the moment). The leadership team of Samara, Andrea, Dave, Reaza, Charisa, Amy, Jon (and now I get to play too) work hard to make this an

New Engineering Design Exhibit Invites Creativity to the Fair A new 2020 county and state fair exhibit is open to any enrolled 4-H member to encourage participation for creators, inventors and problem solvers. The new Engineering Design Exhibit was created to allow members to communicate the processes and outcomes of solving an engineering problem of their choice. The display is to include two parts: (1) an engineering notebook that details the member’s use of the seven engineering design components and (2) an educational poster. An Engineering Display Component Check-Off Sheet is provided on the State Fair website for STEM and Industrial Arts, at https://extension.oregonstate.edu/4h/stem-industrial-arts-exhibit-information. Look under Engineering Design. The Engineering Display Component Check-Off Sheet lists the required engineering design components and other display information to assist the member in producing a successful exhibit. Sharpen your pencil and channel your inner Thomas Edison or Katherine Blodget! Who was Katherine Blodget? The first woman to receive a Ph.D in physics at England’s Cambridge University and the first woman hired by General Electric.

4-H Insect Study for Intermediate and Senior Member Now More Accessible There is a major change to the Entomology (Insects) Project display beginning in 2020. For members who are just starting to study insects as an Intermediate or Senior Member the first year display will require only 10 specimens which are to be from at least 8 orders. The 4-H Natural Science Committee hopes this will invite Intermediate and Senior members to try out insect collection and identification along with any other projects they may also be enrolled in. The resources for the Entomology Project are all

free and on-line at https://extension.oregonstate.edu/4h/natural-science-projects#entomology. The four Entomology Units are about half way down this page. They include printable booklets and information sheets, interactive E-learning modules, videos and more. Everything a member and leader needs to learn about insects and produce a successful display is provide on this site. And for fun there is even and interactive educational Insect Identification Game! Try it out! You’ll be amazed at how fascinating the world of insects is!

The Least You Should Know...

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.

A few things to remember:

Each club MUST HAVE ONE LEADER registered for

the tournament. Registration for the leader is FREE,

but we need at least one leader registered for

communication purposes. We will be sending an

Ideal-Logic system, but if you know of any new

leaders please feel free to forward this email.

Registration for youth is $10 regardless of the

number of disciplines they are shooting. They can

sign up for all of their disciplines now, but the

Archery is currently the only discipline shooting for

score.

The scoresheets, rules and other information for

the remaining disciplines (Shotgun, Rifle, Pistol and

Muzzleloading) will be available beginning in

December as their first shoot is in January 2020. All

of the information will be posted on the website

(same link as above).

Scoresheets must be submitted no later than the

Horse Judging/Hippolgy Contest Saturday, February 8 at 9 am

Sagebrush Arena

Horse Judging is a contest opportunity for you to

test your skills judging conformation and

performance horse classes against an official judge.

It’s also an opportunity for statewide and national

contest participation. Judging contests are life skill

building, regardless of what you are judging—

selecting and ordering horses and/or performances,

explaining why you chose them that way—

processing and decision making.

Hippology is a fun contest that tests your individual

equine knowledge about anything equine. Including

feed, first aid, breeds, colors, markings, tack and

equipment, general health and so much more.

Don’t miss this opportunity to test your knowledge.

This is also an opportunity for statewide and

National competitions. Study up and join us!

Always a fun contest—don’t miss out.

Deschutes County Animal Science

Skills Contest February 29, 2020

Horse Quiz Bowl joins the Animal Science Skills

Contest this year.

Horse Bowl is a question and answer game that

allows 4-H members to demonstrate their

knowledge of equine-related subject matter. Two

teams of four members each compete to answer

questions quickly and accurately. Some questions

are one-on-one where only a specified member of

each team can answer. Other questions are team

play where any member can answer. Playing Horse

Bowl is a fun way to learn the material in the Horse

Project manuals. Many club activities can be built

around horse bowl questions such as playing

"Jeopardy" or studying visuals.

See registration on page 8-9.
