Lucas Hoge left his hometown of Hubbell, Nebraska, with music on his mind.

Lucas learned quickly that it takes more than moving to Nashville to be noticed. He sacrificed, working diligentlyaround the clock to form the foundation in which he built his career upon. Lucas spent his first year in town living in a500 square-foot apartment, working full time in construction. Evenings were devoted to performing in the honky-tonkhotspots up and down Broadway and every weekend, dedicated his afternoons to writing.

Things started to look up for Lucas when he got a call from Warner Brothers to tell him that they would feature hissong, “If I Only Could” on their hit show Smallville.

Shortly after, Lucas scored an HBO TV series, 13 episodes, wrote a jingle for Lipton Tea and took his talent to the stu-dio where he recorded two country albums and a Christian EP.

“ I grew up in a small farming town and it’s a big part of who I am, so it will always be in my music. I write a lot ofsongs about farming and working in the dirt.”

Hence the title cut of his debut release Dirt, which has clearly become one of the album highlights and is featured on theWords and Music compilation CD. Dirt has received rave reviews, winning multiple music awards, including ‘CountryAlbum of the Year’ at the 16th Annual Los Angeles Music Awards and which also named Lucas as ContemporaryChristian Singer/Songwriter Of The Year for “Get The Door”.

Lucas has toured Denmark, Norway, Sweden and has traveled to the Middle East to perform for our troops. “Not onlywas my trip to Iraq, Kuwait and Kosovo the greatest honor in my life, it was the most fun I’ve ever had,” Lucas says.

Lucas starred in the Animal Planet TV show Last Chance Highway (Produced by Al Roker Entertainment) providingexposure GLOBALLY in over 34 million homes. He starred, as himself, the singer / songwriter who has volunteered tohelp rescue dogs in the south and transport them north to their new forever homes. Lucas also penned and performs theshows theme song, “Last Chance Highway”, which Discovery Network released to iTunes in 2010. Lucas went on aworld-wind media tour, including appearing on The Today Show, Inside Edition, The Daily Buzz, Daytime TV andmany more. Lucas is involved in many animal charity events and fosters kittens and dogs for local Nashville organiza-tions.

Lucas made his debut performance at the Ryman in Nashville, TN in 2011 performing with the legendary George Jonesand Lucas received a standing ovation.

Lucas received his first nomination in the ICM (Inspirational Country Music Awards) as ICM’s “New Artist of TheYear” 2011. Lucas gained recognition in the Christian Country genre when he answered a woman’s dying wish andwrote a song inspired by her poem. “How Was I To Know” quickly became a favorite debuting at # 66 and climbed allthe way to number two (#2). Lucas is appear at the ICM Awards this year as a presenter and is nominated for “BestMale Vocalist” 2012. His song “Have I Done Something” is the # 1 song on the Christian Country Charts for November2012.

Lucas landed his second TV show theme song with “Give A Damn,” which you can hear each week on GAC TV’s newshow Tom’s Wild Life.

“Do What Makes You Feel Good” the second single off the self titled album Lucas Hoge has received rave reviews.The song debuted on Music Row at # 77 in August 2012, making Lucas one of the most added artists that week. Thesong topped at # 47 on Music Row, # 1 on Renegade Radio’s TOP 100 Country songs and # 1 on Power Source Maga-zines TOP 75 Country songs for February 2013. His album has also received fantastic reviews.

Dr. Wirt Barnard Memorial ScholarshipThis award is presented each year to a 4-Her pre-enrolled at Kansas

State University, who has been outstanding in leadership, dependability and character. The award is based on an application, 4-H records and a personal interview.

The 2013 Recipient is:

Braden Field

Dr. Barnard was NCK Free Fair Secretary in 1931 when the fair board set aside $450 for 4-H fair premiums for the first time. Dr. Barnard, a local veterinarian, was one of the staunchest supporters of 4-H. It was in his posi-tion as fair secretary that he helped promote the idea of 4-H clubs. His active interest in the clubs earned Dr. Barnard the position as county’s club head until a county agent was appointed. Dr. Barnard died March 24, 1967, at the age of 87, but his legacy to 4-H youth in Republic County lives on in the me-morial scholarship established in his name by Dr. Barnard’s daughter Virginia Barnard Chapman.

4-H ENTOMOLOGYRuss Piroutek, Superintendent

Consultation Judging, Tuesday, July 30Premium Category 3

1. Read General 4-H Regulations.2. All entries are to be placed in plexiglass covered wooden boxes with

outside measurements of 18”x 24”x 3½”. Display boxes with glass covers will not be accepted.

3. Each exhibitor is required to identify each box by placing an identifica-tion label bearing exhibitor’s name, county/district, and the class. One label goes in the upper left corner of the box (inside) and the other on the lower right corn of the box (outside). Arrange specimens in the box so it can be display lengthwise.

4. The number of orders, specimens (and families where required) must be included in the exhibitor’s box identification label.

5. Arrangement of specimens: The preferred method is to arrange the insects in groups or rows parallel to the short sides of the box (see publi-cation 4-H 829). Arrangements that run lengthwise is the box are frequently downgraded in judging. Specimens are to be arranged in the box according to Order. Begin with the more primitive Orders first (Collembola) and follow the sequence used in insects in Kansas, as revised in 2000. Order labels should be pinned to the base of the box.

6. For each collection class, two labels will be centered on the pin beneath each specimen. First (closest to the specimen) is the common name label and the second label is a date/locality label.

7. Emphasis in judging will be placed on the overall variety of Kansas insects represented in the collection, accuracy of identification, skill and tech-nique acquired in mounting of specimens, and overall arrangement and ap-

pearance in the collection.8. Specimens of soft-bodied insects such as aphids, lice, collembolan,

termites, etc. should be exhibited in alcohol filled vials, however, the use of alcohol filled vials should be limited to only those specimens that lose their shape when pinned, since the vials pose a significant hazard to the rest of the collection if they become loose in transit.

Entomology Educational ClassesEducational displays are to be exhibited in one standard size insect box

and identified by use of an identification label as discussed above. It is to include the exhibitor’s name, county/district, and class. Information on num-bers and kinds of insects is not needed for educational exhibits. Displays may consist of specialized groups of insects, or relate to any aspect of insect life. Displays should be presented in a clear, concise, and interesting manner.

1. Educational classes are limited to one standard box, a maximum of 150 specimens, and work performed during the current year. Title of the exhibit should be indicated inside the box.

2. Purpose of the project is to learn more about the importance, life cycles, biology, ecology, diversity, etc. of insects and related arthropods. Subject mat-ter can be as varied as the animals themselves.

#216 Beginning Entomology I Collection in one standard box a minimum of 50 and maximum of 125 species representing 7 orders. Members can exhibit in this class a maximum of 3 years, or until they receive a purple ribbon at the Kansas State Fair, whichever comes first.

#217 Beginning Entomology II Collection in one standard box a minimum of 75 and maximum of 150 species representing 9 orders. Members can ex-hibit in this class a maximum of 3 years, or until they receive a purple ribbon at the Kansas State Fair, whichever comes first.

#218 Beginning Entomology Educational Exhibit#221 Intermediate Entomology Collection. Display a minimum of 100 and

a maximum of 300 insects representing at least 10 orders. Two standard box-es can be used. All specimens should be grouped to order. Family identifica-tion is required for all insects in any two of the following six orders: Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Homoptera, Coleoptera, Diptera, and/or Hymenoptera. Observe that the number of families identified in these two orders must be recorded on the box identification labels. Family labels should be pinned to the bottom of the box to represent subdivisions of the appropriate order. Members can exhibit in this class a maximum of 3 years.

#222 Intermediate Educational Exhibit#225 Advanced Entomology Collection. Display a minimum of 150 and

a maximum of 450 insects representing at least 12 orders. Three standard boxes can be used. Family identification is required for all insects belonging to the six basic orders as outlined under the Intermediate phase. Family iden-tification of insects in the remaining orders is optional, but desirable as long as accuracy is maintained. All butterflies appearing in the collection should be labeled with the correct common name. Members may continue to exhibit in this class at the Kansas State Fair for an unrestricted number of years as long as they remain eligible for 4-H membership. A list should be included each year of what was done to improve the project.

Consultation Judging, Tuesday, July 30Premium Category 3

1. Read General 4-H Regulations.2. The exhibit box should be 18” x 24” x 3½”. Plexiglass covers are re-

quired. Boxes with glass covers will not be accepted. All specimens are to be arranged across the narrow (18”) dimension of the exhibit box, making the ex-hibit 18” across the top and 24” deep exactly. If a box has a sliding plexiglass cover, it must be removable from the top. Screws, locks, or other devices that would prevent judges from removing the cover should not be used.

3. Each exhibitor is required to identify each display box by placing an identification label bearing name, county/district, and number of specimens in the upper left-hand corner of the plexiglass cover (inside-use clear double-sided tape to adhere gummed labels), and by attaching a label with the same information on the lower right corner of the box (outside).

4. Exhibitor may enter in both geology and lapidary classes. Exhibitor may show in only one of the first four geology classes, but exhibitor may also show in the special exhibit class.

5. Geology specimens should be labeled with the number of the specimen, date collected, specimen name or description, and locality (county) where col-lected.

6. For the collection classes specimens should be mounted in the box by proper groups: rocks, minerals, fossils. Fossils must be identified to the Phy-lum, Class and Genus level. More than one specimen of the same kind of rock or mineral or species of a fossil may be exhibited if this duplication represents different geological formations. Specimen label must show this distinction (Fort Hays limestone, not just limestone; exact species must have different formation names listed on the I.D. card; Composite Brachiopod from Morrill Limestone not just Brachiopod or Composita Brachipod).
