4-H members
*
taking part in
the 2002 4-H JeffHunt
Know Your State Government
Conference (KYSG), May 2-4.
Jeff Hunt o f lone attended the
conference.
The KYSG Conference was
historical for several reasons. Not
only was it the first KYSG to be
held in a legislative “off-year", but
it was also the first time the 4-H
group had the opportunity to
conduct a mock legislative session
on the actual Senate Floor. The
night before the mock session,
delegates developed two bills to
be presented before the “senate”.
The ideas were real issues that
the youth were concerned about.

After participating in a “critical
thinking” session in which the
delegates prioritized a number of
issues, the youth agreed to two
major ideas that were then written
up and presented to the senate as
bills.
At one point, KYSG Senate
President Ley la Estes from Crook
County, who presided from the
president’s podium, yielded her
seat to the real Senate President,
Gene Derfler. Senator Derfler
spoke to the delegates for about
45 minutes, with most of the time
being spent answering questions
asked by the 4-H members. Other
speakers during the day included,
Duane Bales, the assistant to
Speaker o f the House Mark
Simmons, Greg Chaimov from
Legislative Counsel, Senator
Peter C ourtney and Nancy
Savage from the Salem FBI
office.
In addition to the mock
legislative session, the delegates
also conducted a mock
gubernatorial election. Delegates
were divided into 10 groups and
each group took one of the 10
gubernatorial candidates listed in
the M arion County voter
pamphlet, and developed their
candidate’s platform. One youth
in each group was selected to be
the candidate and on Friday,
stepped up to the Senate
President’s podium and gave a
short cam paign speech. The
mock primary resulted in Jim Hill,
portrayed by Ariel Winegar from
Grant County, as the Democrat
candidate and Jack Roberts,
portrayed by Jason Magnuson
from Lane County, as the
Republican candidate. On
Saturday, the KYSG delegates
elected Jack Roberts as Oregon’s
next governor.
A nother highlight o f the
Conference was a Friday evening
dinner cruise on the Willamette
River aboard the paddle wheeler
Willamette Queen. The cruise
was intended to provide a cultural
and historical perspective o f a
time in Oregon’s history when
riverboats were very important to
the economy and social life of the
people of the state.
The Conference closed on
Saturday with the gubernatorial
election and a quiz bowl to see
how much the delegates had
learned during the Conference. It
was an exciting, educational and
fun-filled event for over 50
Oregon 4-H members, said a
spokesperson. Know Your State
