The Clover Speaks- 4-H corner news- by Sue Ryan VS 4-H Program Assistant Happy New Year ! With this first Cloverspeaks column for 1996, I'll be sharing profiles of each of the current Warm Springs 4-H Clubs. For this edition - a look at the Warm Springs 4-H Livestock club. Leaders Angie Orchard and Laura Fucnlcs started the group a year ago because they knew some kids that wanted to work with animals. Doth say they have had "fun and learned a lot". The Warm Springs 4-H Livestock club was a small 3 person club for its first year including; Jessi & David Fucntcs, and Lydell Suppah. The group stuck with swine projects for their first year, but both leaders are open to having youth with swine, steer, or sheep projects. New members are welcome to join the Warm Springs Livestock club, but both Angie & Laura advise that parents will need to help with the project. For an animal science project help is needed with food, building a pen, and transporting livestock. There arc some initial startup expenses the first year, but the following year the 4-H'cr can make a profit from their livestock sale. More importantly, the 4-H'cr can learn valuable hands-on skills that will last a lifetime. Both leaders provide that example, having come from a 4-H background. Angie Orchard teaches 1 st grade at the Warm Springs Elementary school. This is her second year in the community. She originally comes from Myrtle Point, Oregon and grew up involved in 4-H. Angie was active in 4-H for a total of 8 years; a combination of Dairy, Sheep, and Beef projects, She also spent a lot of time as a judge at contests and served on the National 4-H Judging team for one year. Laura Fucntes is a longtime community member and has taught at Warm Springs Elementary school for a number of years. Currently, she teaches kindergarten. Her involvement with the Warm Springs 4-H Livestock club stemmed from having 4 children who were interested in having farm animals. She also taught 4-H Cooking for two years, and was a 4-H member in Sewing, Cooking, and Dog Obedience projects. Laura credits her husband Willie in helping out their group during this past year. The Warm Springs Livestock club will be getting underway for 1996 by holding their first meeting on January 22nd at the Warm Springs Elementary School at 4 p.m. The club is open to any youth in 4th grade or older. For more information you can contact Angie & Laura at 553-1 128 or Sue Ryan at 553-3238.
