WHAT’S NEW AT THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY FAIR? Marianne Bird, 4-H Youth Development Advisor
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA • COOPERATIVE EXTENSION
4-H NEWS SACRAMENTO • SAN JOAQUIN • SOLANO • YOLO
Our Sacramento County 4-H Youth Development Program is enjoying a closer partnership with the Sacramento County Fair, thanks to Fair C.E.O., T.J. Plew. T.J. shares information candidly, seeks feedback from our volunteers, and brought 4-H and Fair policy into alignment. Her regular attendance at 4-H Leaders’ Council meetings exemplifies her desire to fully engage with our community. Along side newly appointed Fair Board Director (and Range View Community Club Leader) Laurie Kaspar, the 4-H voice is certainly heard as decisions are made.
At our November 4-H Leaders’ Council meeting, T.J. outlined several changes the Fair will make in 2009. Balancing exhibitor’s needs, the budget, and a quality product for the community is no easy task. The Fair has instituted new procedures and fees for admission and exhibitor parking. Here’s the update:
SACRAMENTO COUNTY FAIR— KICK START YOUR SUMMER!
May 21-25, 2009 NEW FAIR ADMISSION:
General Admission - $3 Kids (12 and Under) – Free Seniors (65 and over) – Free
NEW EXHIBITOR ADMISSION POLICY: All youth livestock exhibitors, regardless of age, will be issued a wristband that must be worn at all times for admittance to the fair during public and non-public fair hours.
NEW EXHIBITOR PARKING PROCEDURES: The Sacramento County Fair will no longer issue free exhibitor parking passes. Exhibitors may purchase parking at a 50% discount prior to the opening of the fair. A “drop-off” zone will be open 6:00–8:30 a.m. each morning to allow exhibitors to be dropped off at the “Top of the Hill”. A similar zone will be open to allow for exhibitors to be picked-up. More information will be available in your exhibitor confirmation letter.
NEW EXHIBITOR PARKING FEES: Single Day Parking - $5 Season Parking Pass - $25 “Privileged” (Levee) Parking - $85
NEW FAIR PARKING: $10
NEW 4-H PRIMARY MEMBER SHOWMANSHIP: Showmanship for 4-H Primary Members (5-8) will take place on Monday, May 25th. Primary Members participating in small animal showmanship will be allowed to carry-on their animals on the day of the show. Details will be available in the Fair’s Competition Guidebook.

GUIDE DOGS 1st & 3rd Thursdays
7:00 p.m. Cordova Gardens Elem. Kathy Prendergast, 300-2269
[email protected] Submitted by Mariah Frerichs
What are some of the unique abilities that Guide Dogs have? They are very smart! In addition to learning how to lead a person safely around obstacles, Guide Dogs are also trained in “intelligent disobedience,” if they are given an unsafe command, they are taught to not obey it. For example: refusing to step out into the street when there is oncoming traffic. Guide Dogs are also trained to have impeccable manners for all those times when they must visit public places, such as restaurants and grocery stores. And they are capable of avoiding distractions, such as cats. In addition, all Guide Dogs possess an eagerness to please and a willingness to work.
Submitted by Rachel Ricchiutto Guide Dogs for the Blind is a wonderful community service project. In it we raise, train, and socialize puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. The three main volunteer positions are Puppy Raisers, Puppy Sitters, and Public Relations Spokesperson for Guide Dogs
This project is very important because the dogs provide increased mobility, confidence, and a beloved companion to the visually impaired. If you would like to check it out and get more information please call Kathy.

COUNTY LONG REINING PROJECT Linda Chandler, 687-8280 or
[email protected] Our first meeting was on Sunday, November 16. Linda Chandler brought three of her miniatures and Barbara Simonsma brought one of her mares.
Linda talked about her goals and plans for the project. She also talked extensively about becoming a team with your horse before moving on to actual driving. Linda has said that even if you aren't interested in physically driving your horse, the methods that she will be teaching us are good to work on any training problems that you may be having. I was very pleased to discover that the methods she will be instructing us on are Parelli and she showed us how to play the "seven games" in order to build a good rapport with our horses. We were able to ask questions as she went along and I think we each learned something new and helpful.
Linda will also be helping us distinguish our own horses' personalities, so that we can develop the most efficient training program for them. We finished the day with each of us having the opportunity to walk behind one of the mini's on a long rein. It was a lot of fun.
There is still plenty of room for additional participants in this project. So, leaders, please forward this information on to all of your members. For more information please be sure to call Linda.
Hope to see you at the next meeting!

BEFORE THE STORM HITS… Become familiar with your service panel location and how to operate the main circuit breaker.
Prepare a basic emergency kit and store it in an access-ible place. It should contain: Manual can opener, battery operated clock, flash-light, bottled water, batteries.
STORM TIPS
Have a battery-operated TV or radio to get news reports with estimated times that electricity will be restored.
Protect your household appliances and sensitive electronics from damaging power surges caused by wind and lightning storms.
If you see lines down, call 911 or SMUD.
Marianne Bird, (916) 875-681 Academic Coordinator, CVR Cluster
It’s one of the strengths in our program: having older and younger youth together in clubs and projects. Older, more senior youth share expertise, practice leadership, and connect with kids with a magic most adults have lost. Younger children learn from, look up to, and want to emulate role models who are old enough to be “in the know” but not so old to be “out of touch.” Whole families can be involved in a single project. Indeed, there are many benefits to a multi-age program model.
As most project and club leaders can testify, there are challenges, too. How do you design a project that appeals to both the six year-old and the sixteen year-old? How do you address varying expertise for first, second, and third year project members? How do older youth learn new material if they are always in the role of delivering content to younger children? And what if older youth aren’t interested in Junior or Teen Leadership? Planning activities for an audience with broad skill levels, maturity, and interests is one of the most difficult tasks we ask of our adult leadership.
There’s a lot to be said for finding ways to build progression into program. In the name of fairness, we sometimes want all 4-H members—regardless of age or tenure—to have the same opportunities: participate in the same projects, earn the same awards, run for the same office. Yet if we were more intentional about creating variance in program—fashioning different elements for Primary, Junior, and Senior members—could we not strengthen the experience for participants? Age-appropriate activities (in content and structure) facilitate growth for all youth and provide members with new opportunities as they progress through the program.
I love it when I hear a club has a project just for Primary members. It’s great when projects are large enough to have both a beginning and advanced levels. Teens serving on 4-H Leader’s Council is another example of an age-appropriate opportunity. These are all ways to meet kids where they are and provide newness. Think of others. See if you can make them happen.
BENEFITS & CHALLENGERS OF MIXED-AGE GROUPS
GENERATOR SAFETY: If you’ve decided to use a back-up generator, all generators must be connected in an approved manner. This protects your equipment and generator, and reduces the potential danger to employees working to restore power. Never run a generator indoors, the exhaust fumes can be deadly. Use only grounded extension cords that are properly rated for your required load.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR DOG PROJECT MEMBERS Camilla Rogers, (916) 631-0400 [email protected]
The Sacramento Dog Training Club has a variety of opportunities for youth to attend and volunteer with dog events. They have always appreciated 4-H helpers and they usually feed workers lunch. For more information, see http://www.sacramentodtc.org/.
These are AKC shows and, if you enter the event, you will be held to the AKC full standard. If you volunteer at the event, show your 4-H pride by wearing your 4-H T-shirts or dress whites.
Mark your calendar! All new 4-H adult volunteers, and those returning leaders who have had a break in service of a year or more, must: 1) attend orientation, 2) be fingerprinted, and 3) submit enrollment paperwork and fees. They must be certified by the 4-H Office before they can hold project meetings or work with youth. Until they are certified, they are not covered under the University’s liability insurance. Volunteers from all Cluster Counties are welcome. Pre-enrollment is required. Please call the 4-H Office to reserve your seat at one of these important meetings. Volunteers will be included in the 4-H database and on their club roster once they are certified.

Come one! Come all, for its time for another Knowledge Field Day. Know-ledge Field Day is a one day event to acquaint 4-H’ers with project ideas and/or test their project knowledge. We will have all the tests for the cool projects you guys do in your clubs or want to learn about, and there will probably be bagels, cream cheese, coffee, and juice for purchase for a small fee.
This year the set of projects available will be the same as last year: Aerospace, Archery, Astronomy, Baking, Beef, Breads, Cavies, Clothing, Cooking, Dog Care, Entomology, Fiber, Fisheries, Food Preservation, Goats, Horse, Leathercraft, Music, Pets and Small Animals, Photography, Plant Science, Poultry, Rabbits, Swine, and Woodworking.
For each project there are four possible levels to attain: Beginning, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. The Beginning level is targeted for non-project members and should be appropriate for elementary school level children. Individuals passing this level will be awarded certificates, not medals. When a member demonstrates knowledge on the Bronze, Silver, or Gold levels in a project by passing an evalua-tion with a score of 70% or higher, a medal and a certificate are awarded.
If you have any questions regarding the event, contact Jesse. Everyone is invited to come and take tests in any project area, upgrade or update tests in your project area, or help proctor, set up or clean up after the event. Please contact Jesse if you would like to help out. We hope to see you there!

4-H POLICIES
GUIDELINES FOR AUTHORIZED USE OF 4-H NAME AND EMBLEM
http://www.ca4h.org/4hresource/clover/index.asp The 4-H Name and Emblem are protected under federal statute (Title 18 USC 707). The statement “18 USC 707” must be printed adjacent to the clover whenever we use it outside of our 4-H family. This would include wearing of the logo, promotional brochures, posters, window displays, and the like. This statement can be placed to the right of the stem or along the bottom right leaf.
If you contract with a private vendor (as opposed to using the 4-H Source Catalog) for manufactured items, be sure to provide the vendor with guidelines for proper display. See website for more details.
As a practical matter, you may continue to use existing clover items, including flags, banners, and clothing without the protection statement. However, as they wear thin or as the clubs have resources to replace them, be sure that the new items are properly marked.
Clubs are permitted to use the clover within the club without county office consent, as long as guidelines for proper display are followed. For a countywide display or if you have questions, contact the County 4-H Staff.
4-H SAFETY MANUAL http://groups.ucanr.org/ehs/files/40029.pdf
Many 4-H programs, projects, and events incorporate activities that inherently have various risks for injuries or disease exposures to both 4-H volunteers and members. Information given in the 4-H Safety Manual has been developed for use by 4-H volunteers and members and is intended to provide initial guidance for implementing practices and procedures to reduce the risk of sustaining injuries or illnesses while participating in 4-H sponsored programs, projects, and event. The 4-H Safety Manual is available online or from your County 4-H Office.
http://ucanr.org/cloversafe Clover Safe Notes are one page summaries of relevant safety information about specific topics. Clover Safe Notes incorporate a picture or drawing and information about topic-related injuries or illness to encourage discussion of precautions to prevent topic-related injuries or illness. The notes are intended to be used on the website or may be downloaded, printed, and handed out at 4-H activities and project meetings.
Clover Safe Notes are prepared by the UC ANR Office of Environmental Health & Safety in support of the Statewide 4-H Youth Development Program.
CLOVER SAFE NOTES
Data available from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) indicates 4,215 traffic fatalities occurred in California during 2003. Of this total, 36% of the fatalities were speed related and 42% of the victims were not using seat belt restraints. NHTSA estimates the economic cost of California motor vehicle traffic crashes was approximately $20.7 billion during 2000. Many motor vehicle accidents (and injuries) are preventable if drivers maintain a high level of alertness while driving and follow safe driving practices, including wearing seat belt restraints
It is 4-H policy that 4-H youth members shall not transport other 4-H members to and from official functions.
SAFE DRIVING PRACTICES:
• Before changing lanes, turn your head to check mirror blind spots for other traffic. Always signal before passing other vehicles. • Maintain a three to four second distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you. • Always look in both directions when entering intersections, crosswalks, or railroad crossings. • Do not rely on traffic signals to stop cross traffic. Always scan controlled intersections for oncoming cross traffic. • Allow adequate room in front of you to stop. It takes about 400 feet to react and bring a ca to a stop from a speed of 55 mph.
Likewise at 35 mph, it takes about 210 feet. • Reduce your speed when driving at night. Be prepared to stop within the distance lighted by your headlights. • Use your high beams where appropriate. Dim your high beams when necessary. • Reduce your driving speed to accommodate adverse weather conditions (i.e., heavy rain, snow, or fog). • When driving in fog, use your low beams, increase your following distance, and be prepared to stop within the distance you can see
ahead. • If the fog becomes too thick to sufficiently see ahead, stop driving, turn off your lights, and pull completely off the road. Continue
driving when the fog thins and allows adequate road vision. • When entering a freeway, merge at the speed of the freeway traffic. When exiting a freeway, signal your intention to exit for about
five seconds. • Always change freeway lanes one at a time. Signal your intention to change freeway lanes. • Allow an adequate distance to oncoming traffic when attempting to pass another vehicle on a two-lane road. At 55 mpg, you will
need a distance about one-third of a mile (1,750 feet) from oncoming traffic to pass safely. • Always allow pedestrians, including bicyclists, the right-of-way in crosswalks. • It is the law and a good safety practice to avoid using a cellular telephone while operating a motor vehicle.
Always wear seatbelt restraints and obey posted speed limits.
Videos on safe driving practices are available for loan from the ANR Environmental Health & Safety Library at http://safety.ucanr.org.
