Welcome Amber!

Hello, Carroll County! My name is Amber Murphy and I was recently hired as one of your new 4-H

Educators. Growing up on a farm in Frederick County, I was an active member in Frederick County 4-

H and Urbana FFA. Within my time in 4-H, I focused on my main projects of beef, hogs, goats and

photography. I also served as a Frederick County 4-H Princess and a Swine Ambassador. This past

May, I graduated from West Virginia University (Let’s Go Mountaineers!) with a Bachelor’s of Science

Degree, majoring in Agricultural and Extension Education. While at WVU, I focused my studies

within agricultural communications and STEM. I already feel so welcomed within the Carroll County

community and I look forward to working with each and every 4-Her, volunteer, parent and educator

in Carroll County!

Welcome Kira!

Hello Carroll County 4-H, my name is Kira Huber. I graduated from the University of South Carolina

with a B.S. in Marine Science. I grew up in Frederick, MD, but I have worked in Kentucky with their

4-H camp programs, North Carolina with Sea Turtle Camps, Texas with various camp programs, and

most recently, in Florida working on their mobile science lab. I am excited to be back in Maryland! I

can’t wait to experience everything that UMD Extension has to offer!

Indoor Building News - A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who helped with the Fair Set-Up and Clean-Up in the Red Building! Lots of hands make the work lighter for everyone! By dividing the alphabet for Set-Up and Clean-Up, it gave us great help on both days. Also, by using less shelving and more tables and wooden shelves, it made the work more manageable for 4-Hers. If anyone finds that they have accidentally picked up items that do not belong to them, please return them to the Extension Office so we can get them to the members whom they belong. If you received a Grand Champion or special award from a department in the Red Building, please send a thank you note to the award donor. If you need the name and address of the donor of the award you received, please contact Ms. Sandy Stonesifer at 410 -857-0416. It’s very easy to criticize and complain about things we don’t like. As a superintendent, it is nice to get a thank you. Please send a note to the superintendent of the departments you entered to thank them for their hard work and dedication to your project area. If you need any address information, please contact Ms. Sandy Stonesifer at 410-857-0416

Tips for Completing Project Records Here are some tips and helpful hints as you work on your project records.

Don’t forget that the following project records are required to show at the 2019 Carroll County 4-H/FFA Fair – ALL MARKET ANIMALS, Horse, Poultry, Rabbit, Garden and Photography.

Remember to EXPAND on all of your answers. The more detailed responses you give help the reviewers understand

your projects and what you learned and achieved through them.

1. What goals did you set for your project this year and did you achieve them? a. Explain three different goals you had for your project and expand on how you did or didn’t achieve

them. 2. What were four things you learned from completing this project this year?

a. Juniors and Intermediates – Need to list 2 things you learned from your project. b. Seniors – Need to list 4 things you learned from your project.

3. What is one thing you would like to improve or do differently with your project next year? a. What is something that you want to improve on your project next year? Give an example on what you

want to do differently with your project. 4. What I learned as a result of using this life skill…

a. Under each section (Head, Heart, Hand, Health) write the life skill you are using from the life skill wheel. b. Juniors and Intermediates need to write 1 life skill for each section. You will have one life skill for Head,

one for Heart, one for Hand and one for Health. c. Seniors need to write 2 life skills for each section. You will have two life skills listed for Head, two for

Heart, two for Hand and two for Health. 5. Project Activities

a. Everyone needs to list project activities and how they relate to your project. This can be attending the Mid-Winter Blahs, Livestock Workshops, County or State Fair.

6. Project Communications a. Everyone MUST have some type of communication related to their project that you have given to at

least 3 people who are not related to you. b. Example – If you are filling out a project record for Photography, your communication needs to be

something related to Photography and not a speech related to building a birdhouse. 7. Project Exhibits

a. Everyone must have exhibited their project at some event. This can include County or State Fair, a community or school event.

b. List all exhibits separately. This includes all classes to be listed separately (example – Market Hog – you would list, Market Hog, Showmanship and Rate of Gain on 3 separate lines, not all together).

University of Maryland Extension programs are open to all citizens and will not discriminate against anyone because of race, age, sex, color, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, religion, ancestry, or national origin, marital status, genetic information, or political affiliation, or gender identity and expression.

Page 10: TRIBUNE - University of Maryland Extension...Halloween Party on Friday, October 26th at 7 pm at the Extension Office. The program will be The program will be open to all 4-H Clovers

8. Project Financial Section (General Project Records) a. List all expenses related to your project and put a value on them. Even if your parents paid for them,

they still have a value associated to them. i. Example – If you baked a cake, you would list your ingredients (Sugar, Flour, Chocolate, etc. and

the cost $13.50) b. Income includes any premium checks you have received for your items. Remember to keep your copy of

your premiums from the fair. This will tell you what your premiums were for each item you entered at the fair.

9. Supplemental Piece (GENERAL PROJECT RECORD FORM – REQUIRED) a. If you are completing a General Project Record you MUST include a supplemental piece. This is one

additional piece of paper (8x11) attached to the end of your record. This can be a picture with a couple sentences written about your project or a story, crossword puzzle, etc. It needs to be something that relates to your project.

10. ANIMAL PROJECT RECORDS a. Market Livestock Project Record Forms

i. Table 1 – Information of Project Animal – This is REQUIRED to be completed. Make sure to fill in all information related to your animals. All animals you tagged should be included on this table, even if you didn’t show them. Remember to bring your totals down to the total line.

ii. Table 2 and 3 – Include information on what you fed your animals and the cost of feeding those animals, along with other expenses you have had with your project including bedding, equipment, etc.

iii. Table 4 – Health and Veterinary Expenses – Everyone should have something listed here. To show at the fair you had to have health papers, which would be listed on this table.

iv. Table 5 – Sale Animal Income – List the information related to any animals you sold. This can be from selling at the fair or private sales.

v. Table 6 – All Other Income – Include any other income from your animals. This could be premium monies, selling wool or hides, etc.

vi. Financial Summary – Add up all of your income and expenses to see you have a profit or loss from your project.

b. Poultry/Rabbit/Horse/Dog Project Records i. Make sure to fill out tables related to your animal information, along with each table that

relates to your project. If you didn’t do something in the project (Example – Didn’t sell eggs), just put N/A in that table, so the project record reviewers know you didn’t just skip the table.

ii. Make sure to include a Supplemental Piece (Check out guideline #9 for more information.)

Make sure to have ALL SIGNATURES (4-H Member, Parent and Club Leader). A 4-H Educator will sign off on the forms when they are considered complete.

Also, if you have siblings that participate in the same projects, make sure your records are DIFFERENT. If they are the same, they will be returned to be redone.

There will be Project Record Workshops held at the Extension Office in the fall to help anyone with their project records. Check the Tribune for more information.

Small Engine & Lawn Mower Workshop______________ After the Small Engine and Lawn Mower Contest, one question that is asked is “How can we prepare for the next contest?” There are also questions raised on naming parts of an engine or lawn mower and on material for studying for the contest. We will once again offer a workshop on the basic of small engine operation. With the help of Shelby Althoff, teacher and FFA advisor at Francis Scott Key High School and Joe Linthicum, FSK FFA Alumni member, we are going to have a “hands on” workshop at Francis Scott Key High School on Saturday, December 8, 2018 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM...Registration Fee of $10.00, payable in advance, to Francis Scott Key FFA Alumni. Registration includes Lunch and supplies for the workshop. (Snow date: December 15, 2018)

Everything will be provided…Overhead Valve engines to disassemble and assemble, engine parts and tools to work with, L head to examine, and study material to take home.

The best way to operate a lawn mower safely, any other small engine, string trimmer, chain saw, etc. is to know the basics of how an engine works. That is what this workshop is for. You do not need to know anything about an engine or lawn mower to come to this workshop. If you are someone that is gifted and know a lot about engines or lawnmowers, you are encouraged to come to this workshop to assist those that do not know as much. Joe Linthicum will be the instructor with assistance from others during the workshop. (Use the Lower parking lot and look for the sign)

All 4-H and FFA members are encouraged to attend this workshop and be up to date for next year’s Small Engine and Lawn Mower Contest at the County Fair. Mail check and registration to FSK FFA Alumni, c/o Joe Linthicum, P.O. Box 144, New Windsor, MD 21776 before November 21, 2018.
