News & Comments from the 4-H Office

The summer plans for Leaders Council will be the reworking of by-laws and a constitu-tion for review at the September Leader’s Council meeting. At that time, each club will be given a template for review. It is our goal to have all club by-laws for the 2006-07 year in place by December or January. Many thanks to all who have seen the need for updated by-laws and policies as a good foundation for 4-H. Enjoy the summer! Delynda Eldridge 4-H Program Representative

The Yolo County Fair Horse Show is looking for volunteers to work as gate keepers, runners, awards staff, etc. The horse show runs August 11, 2006-August 15, 2006. Volunteers do not have to work all 5 days, but should plan on staying all day for the days they commit to. Volunteers receive t-shirts, hats, drinks, refreshments and lunch each day, and those who work all 5 days receive a free carnival pass. No experience with horses is required. Most schools accept Yolo County Fair volunteer hours as community service. Interested parties should contact Jinn Schroeder at 530-668-4430 or ImShaquille@hotmail.com. Any 4H clubs interested in a fund raiser may contact Beth Nilsen, the Yolo County Fair Horse Show manager, regarding the potential of manning the concession booth at this year's horse show. Please call 530-668-4430 or ImShaquille@hotmail.com.

DELYNDA’S NEWS & BY LAWS

YOLO COUNTY FAIR HORSE SHOW

As the 4-H year slows down for a summer break, it is time to relax and enjoy the warm, longer days and to reflect on the success of our past projects. With some much needed rest, hopefully we can get back part of the energy we lost completing a full 4-H year. Make the most of this short break and gear up for more 4-H activity in 2006-07. For those of you involved with 4-H Camp, Leadership Conference, and State Fair, enjoy these great summer 4-H pro-grams. They will be making great memories for you.

YOLO YOUTH CAMP 2007

Wish your child or youth had an opportunity to spend a week away from home, among friends, in a struc-tured, fun environment with fellow Yolo Youth? Have fond memories of your 4-H summer camp? Have some specific ideas or talents? Join the 2007 camp committee. Call Barbara Long or Marcel Horowitz if you are interested. Youth camp leadership applications will be out soon.

Alpha Gamma Rho is an agriculturally based professional and social fraternity. Founded at Davis on May 1st, 1923, AGR strives to develop its members academically, socially, morally, and professionally. “We believe that it is only natural that outstanding 4-H members be interested in Alpha Gamma Rho.

There are several major changes that will take place during the next program year that may impact some of our programmatic prac-tices. Section 800: Health and Safety guide-lines were revised to reflect the best practices in use by youth-serving organizations related to child abuse prevention. The Statewide 4-H Policy Advisory Committee reviewed and updated Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drug Use policies (Section 803) as well as policies on youth protection (Section 815). The commit-tee’s goal is to raise awareness of safety is-sues within the 4-H Youth Development Pro-gram.

By Ellyn Satter The same as when children are younger, pre-adolescents and adolescents do best when parents take leadership with the what, when and where of feeding and trust them to man-age the how much and whether for them-selves. If parents do their jobs with feeding, children of all ages do their jobs with eat-ing—including eating the right amount to grow well. Primary among parents’ responsibilities is providing family meals. Teens who have regular family meals do better in all ways— nutritionally, socially, emotionally, academi-cally. In addition to maintaining family meals, parents discharge their feeding re-sponsibilities by gradually teaching their in-creasingly out-on-their own school-age and teenage children to manage the what, when and where for themselves. The third- or fourth-grader begins by learning to manage his afternoon snack—by choosing from a small number of choices provided by parents and by taking responsibility for eating that snack right after school. The child who mas-ters this early step earns leeway with snack choices until his mastery and cognitive ma-turity around age 11 or 12 years allow him to manage snacks on his own. School lunch, snacks at friends’ houses and snacks pur-chased with allowance

The Division of Responsibility for Tod-dlers Through Adolescents: The parent is responsible for what, when, where • The child is responsible for how much and whether The Parents’ Feeding Jobs: • Choose and prepare the food. • Provide regular meals and snacks. • Make eating times pleasant. • Show children what they have to learn about food and mealtime behavior. Not let children graze for food or beverages between meals and snack times.

money from the local convenience store offer more learning opportunities and give parents openings for teaching children how to select appropriate foods. If those principles are rea-sonable, children feel proud of taking respon-sibility for applying them. (For examples of unreasonable principles, see the accompany-ing box.) For the older school-age child, a parent might observe: “A popsicle (or soda) isn’t enough for a snack, because it is just sugar. You need something more, like cheese or nuts.” For the preadolescent: “Put together a snack that has protein, fat and carbohydrate.” For the ado-lescent: “I will pay for the regular school lunch, but you have to pay for anything else you eat.” “I know you like eating your lunch at the fast-food store. What do you choose to get a vegetable or fruit? What about your milk?” By the time he is in his late teens and ready to leave home, the teenager needs to have mastered food management, so he can be positive and reliable about feeding himself. He needs to learn to plan, shop, store and prepare food. If all has gone well, he has been helping in the kitchen from the time he was little. Now he can put all the skills to-gether to do for himself what parents have done for him.

Health Tip DIVISION OF RESPONSIBILITY IN FEEDING

APPLYING THIS TO CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTS

Let children grow up to get bodies that are right for them. Fundamental to parents’ jobs is trusting children to decide how much and whether to eat. If parents do their jobs with respect to feeding, children do their jobs with re-spect to eating. Children’s Eating Jobs: • Children will eat. • They will eat the amount they need. They will eat an increasing variety of food. They will grow predictably. They will learn to behave well at the table.

Teens who have

regular family

meals do better in

all ways—

The Yolo County Historical Society Country Bake Sale was a big success. I would like to thank most of all Jeanie Sherwood for coor-dinating everything this year and making all of the phone calls. Another thank you goes to all the bakers, Clever Clovers 4-H, and the rest of the volunteers that helped bag and sell the wonderful goodies. This year for the May Festival, Clever Clovers helped with the Bake Sale. I collected the baked goods in Woodland while Jeanie Sherwood collected in Davis. All kinds of talented bakers brought their delicious goods to one of us and we delivered them to the Bake Sale.

Golden Valley 4-H Club had a good year this year. We earned quite a bit at the cotton candy sales. Stephanie Platenkamp thought it would be a good idea to make a donation to help the people of Darfur. Maya Abramson feels that, as a 4-H Club, we should support animals. After discussing it quite a bit, we decided to donate $125 to Dear Darfur and $75 to the local SPCA. We hope that these donations will help people in Darfur and the needy animals of Yolo County. We're look-ing forward to a nice summer and getting back together next season for another great 4-H year. By, Amy Platenkamp, Golden Valley 4-H Club

Throughout the hours of 10 am to 4 pm, busi-ness went successfully and we sold our last baked good just before closing time. There were some periodical sprinkles of rain, but it did not stop business at all. All it did was bring mobs of people wanting to stay dry under our tent and get their lunchtime dessert or snack before they were all gone. Thank you again to all the people who helped make the bake sale a great accomplishment. By, Avery Campbell Clever Clovers 4-H
