The U.S. Government reports that global warming will produce wide spread changes in the U.S. climate in future decades. Drought-like condi tions will hit every region of the country, sea levels will rise, and ur ban populations will suffer under extreme temperatures. Environmen tal groups, research groups, and others have given us tons of material to watch, listen, or read about the many different possible causes and effects of global warming. So, what can WE do about it? First off, WHY? That answer should have been taught to you as soon as you could understand it - as a child. I've heard it put many dif ferent ways, here is a common one: "We don't own this world, we bor row it from our children." I don't know about ownership or whatever, but I do know that I wish for my children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and complete strangers to grow up in a world as beautiful as I have known - or better. Our ancestors (and mine come from both sides of the ocean) suffered through disease, oppression, war, drought, starvation, and a host of other problems. At the same time, they worked to find solutions: we have vaccines against many diseases, we haven't had a World War in over 50 years (thank you Veterans), we have seen many advances in educa tion and civil rights. We have also seen major advances in environ mental protection over the past 30 years. It is time that our leaders are made to understand that we need a healthy earth so that we may survive well. We need clean air, water, and soil. We need clean sources of energy, recycling programs, and we need to change the focus away from the short-term money goal to a long-term goal of environmental sustainability. As a young man, I grew up in the shadow of the threat of nuclear war and environmental pollution - just like our kids are today. Many of the problems we have with youth crime, alcohol, and drug abuse stems from the fact that our youth don't have much hope for the future. It is spelled out for us every evening on the evening news - the world appears to be doomed to pollution and greed. However, there is hope - we can work to make things better for our future generations. Find ways to conserve energy in your own home -Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Be aware of what you can do to be a part of the solution - not the problem. Now, don't go overboard and quit taking showers or anything, just be sensible about it - and teach your children and relatives. If you have questions or ideas -contact us at the OSU Extension office. HOME SWEET HOME By Bernadette Handley, Family & Community Development Agent ' 4k " No matter how short summer seemed, it is over and the new school year is here. Along with it, come adjustments for every parent and child. Timp aHjuQtmpnte. lpop 9 justments, eating adjustments. ..just to name a few. In addition to the "expected" adjustments in our home this year, we have another one to add to the list. This fall my step daughter is entering a new grade AND a new school. Getting her ready for school took extra care and time this summer. We allowed for time to visit the school and to have discussions with her about the changes and how she felt about them. And, that was the easy part! The hard part will be offering support and encouragement as she transitions through learning at school and at play, making friends and getting to know new rules and styles of teaching. How will we, as parents, know if our children are adjusting well? How will we know if she is troubled by the events of the day or by a certain action at school? We need to listen. Really listen and let our child. Just as their bodies are growing, so are their communi cation skills. What they are feeling or trying to say is not always what they say. The questions we ask might be more difficult for them to answer than we think. Sometimes, adults have to translate the message they give us. "How was your day?" seems like an easy question to us. But how does a 6 year-old summarize his good or bad events of the day into a few words? He had a wonderful day but he had to go stand in the corner at the end of the day. How do you think he will "remember" his day? He might stammer "I hate school" be cause that is all his vocabulary allows him to say. What he wants to say is " I did not talk in class but teacher thought I had. I do not like being punished for something I did not do and I do not think it is fair." It is up to us as the parents to interpret the language and the emotion. Observing your child's body lan guage helps in this process. Watch how their movements, gestures, ac tions, or facial expressions change when they are talking. Throwing something down on the floor can mean 'frustration' rather than 'an ger'. Hunkering down in the car seat may signal that she is upset or hurt. But what does really listening mean? It is not driving down the road and nodding without hearing while you think about what to fix for dinner. It is about turning the radio down, maintaining eye contact and giving responses as they share the events of their day. It is not filling in the blanks when they stop talking momentarily. It is allowing them the time to reflect on what they want to say and how they want to say it. It is not about reading the paper, looking over every 30 seconds and saying "uh huh". It is about putting the paper down and leaning over the couch to hear them, to see them. It is not about judging or directing what they say. It is about being patient and letting them sense your care and concern so they may snare freely. It is really quite simple. Listening is about respecting the feelings of your child, accepting their point of view and learning who they are and how they think. It is what parents do. 2000- 2001 Better Kid Care Satellites .

The best product I have found is called Foal-Lac Powder, a foal milk STOCKMAN'S ROUNDUP: Oat hay is good feed- 'fit by Bob Pawelek OSU Livestock Agent I was recently asked about oat hay for wintering beef cows. Ben Bruce of the University of Nevada at Reno gave some sample rations using oat hay and alfalfa at various stages of production. Following is more information on oat hay for beef cows. In my opinion, a mix of alfalfa grass or alfalfaoat hay is a better ration for wintering beef cows than straight alfalfa or straight grass or straight oat hay. This is provided the ration meets the animal's nutri ent requirements. I base my opinion on the following: Oat and grass hays are higher in fiber (coarser) than alfalfa so they have a slower passage rate (mouth to anus) than alfalfa. Passage rate becomes important on cold days. Heat from the animal is stored in the rumen and discharged in the ma nure. Oat hays and grass hays are usually lower in nutritive quality than alfalfa. On the down side, consumption is reduced with slower passage rate and lower protein feeds. Oats for Hay Oat hay makes a satisfactory hay crop if cut when stems an leaves are still green. Oats make the most nutritious hay when cut in the soft dough stage because of the higher protein content. Considerable energy is stored in the kernels at maturity, but extreme shattering losses wili occur if harvest is delayed until this stage of development. Oats used for forage has a greater tendency than wheat or barley to accumulate potentially toxic levels of nitrate in plant forage under conditions of drought, hail damage, or other growth factors that cause cessation of normal growth patterns. Under such conditions, a laboratory diagnosis of oats forage for nitrates would give helpful information relative to its safety. Straw Oat straw is a widely used by-product for wintering brood cows in the Midwest. Research trials con ducted at the NDSU Dickinson Re search Center indicate satisfactory performance by mature gestating brood cows when oat straw com prised 50 percent of the ration. A recent North Dakota comparison in dicated similar cow wintering per formance between cows fed corn residue bales free choice or coarsely ground oat straw when both groups of cows received a half ration of good quality hay. Oat straw is slightly more digestible and more palatable than wheat or barley straw but less palatable and digestible than millet straw. Maturity Effects on Forage Protein and energy digestibility decline rather dramatically while the fibrous fractions of the plant increase as the plant matures from late boot to mature seed stage. Once it has headed, oats matures more rapidly than other small grains and may 3uickly become more mature than esired for forage, resulting in head shattering and seedoss. replaced Formulated especially for foals, this powder provides the criti cal nutrition for orphaned and early weaned foals. Instantized for easy mixing. Mix 1 cup of Foal-Lac Powder with 3 cups of warm water to yield 1-12 pints milk replacer. Feeding schedule: 112 pints eight times per day for a 1-14 day old foal, 2 pints eight times per day for a 2-3 week old foal, 3 pints six times per day for a 3-5 week old foal, 3 pints four times per day for a 5-7 week old foal, and 3 pints two times per day for a 7-8 week old foal. Powder comes in a 25-lb. From the Nasco Catalog now on line.
