With this newsletter, an era is coming to an end with the retirement of one of our State 4-H Staff faculty members. Dr. Dorothy McCargo Freeman retired June 30, and is moving to Minnesota to become their State 4-H Leader on August 1. Over the years, Dorothy has served in many leadership roles at many levels. Among these include service as 4-H Agent, District Program Leader, District Director, and Extension 4-H Specialist. She also served as a very active member of the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents and held many offices including national secretary, and national president. Through the years, Dorothy has provided professional leadership to VCE and the state 4-H program, and is a valued advocate of positive youth development. We will greatly miss her services and presence here on the State 4-H Office staff, but wish her well in her new endeavor. Dorothy's transition to State 4-H Leader for Minnesota is a positive reflection on the Virginia 4-H program. Best wishes, Dorothy, in your new role.
During this summer, with all its business of 4-H camps, unit fairs, family vacations, and all the other events and activities in which we are involved, take time to enjoy these experiences. The vast majority of youth attending 4-H camps truly value their time away from home. For many of them, 4-H camp is the only vacation they get each year. County and city fairs help our youth to show off their projects--things they have raised, grown, made, or invested considerable time. For them, this event is important in that others get to see the fruit of their labors. Family vacations help us to spend quality time with family members, and should be a time of fun, recreation, and getting to know each other better. Make this summer a good one for others, as well as for yourself. Hope your summer is a great one.
Sincerely,
Robert Ray Meadows
Associate Director, 4-H

Redd has been active in 4-H since she was old enough to join. As a 4-H'er she participated in public speaking competitions. Redd was a member of the county's 4-H teen club and worked to organize the countywide teen talent show.
In 1998, she was elected president of the State 4-H Cabinet. The president is elected by the 4-H members who attend State Congress to lead the group that represents 4-H at state events and plans the next State Congress. She continued as a teen leader with the Henry County group.
She graduated from Harvard University this year with an undergraduate degree. in women's studies. While at Harvard University, she continued to be active with the Henry County 4-H'ers, including as an adult volunteer in 2001. Redd was a speaker at the 2002 4-H State Congress.
Redd always cited the experiences she received in 4-H as an important part of her development as she earned many honors such as being named one of Glamour magazine's Top Ten College Women. In the fall 2002, she won $250,000 on "Do You Want To Be a Millionaire," and announced on the show that she would establish a $25,000 scholarship for 4-H.
She was a speaker at the national celebration of 4-H's 100 year anniversary and currently is a member of the board of trustees of the Virginia 4-H Foundation. http://www.ext.vt.edu/resources/4h/nancyredd.html

Do you have a passion for a particular 4-H topic and wish you could find the funds to develop state-of-the-art experiential learning materials in that subject? Would you enjoy collaborating with dedicated experts from around the country in jointly developing better materials than one person could do alone? If so, this opportunity may be for you or a colleague!
As a result of a national survey to determine the greatest needs states have for new youth development curriculum products, the National 4-H Cooperative Curriculum System, Inc. selected three projects from the 15 highest priorities to possibly develop products - Workforce Preparation, Service Learning/Community Service and Introductory 4-H Projects.
Whether any or all of these priorities will result in proposals to develop new curriculum support materials will depend on interest expressed to initially participate in the development of a pre-proposal due 15, 2003. If the pre-proposal is accepted by the Curriculum Committee, a full proposal would need to be developed and accepted for funding by the Committee December 1, 2003.
If you or any members of your staff, including volunteers and youth are interested in being a part of a national design team to initially draft a pre-proposal for any one of the three priorities shown below, e-mail by July 11, 2003, jamisonk@vt.edu. All initial work to develop the pre-proposals will be done electronically. If a full proposal is accepted for funding, all design team member expenses including possible attendance at the 4HCCS Design Team Workshop in San Antonio in February will be reimbursed by 4HCCS.
1. Introductory 4-H Projects
Approximately 35% of 4-H youth, 2,391,415 youth, are in grades K-3. Of these, perhaps half do not return after their first 4-H experience. While current Cloverbuds material are excellent for the youngest 4-H participants, there appears to be a compelling need for a Helper's Guide for use with youth 8-10, both in traditional clubs, and in after school settings. The principal intent of these materials should be to help youth understand 4-H, and "feel like 4-H'ers." This set of materials for helpers will focus on fun, hands-on activities to familiarize K-3 kids with the kinds of opportunities 4-H can offer them. It needs to help youth learn to work within experiential learning cycles and become a contributing member of a group.
2. Community Service and Service Learning
Community Service is one of the "trademarks" of 4-H. Through community service opportunities, youth better understand their community and its needs. Youth learn to think of themselves as people that make a difference in the world around them. It is a perfect vehicle for meaningful youth/adult partnerships. This Helper's Guide can help make community service a meaningful learning opportunity, an opportunity to shape values, as well as a contribution to the community. Further, it should include reproducible planning and reflection materials to help make Community service into a well-planned service learning experience that contributes meaningfully to the development of the participating youth.
3. Workforce Preparation
Today, all youth need to prepare themselves to join the workforce. Yet only 1% of 4-H participants presently are involved in career exploration and employability. One focus of this series needs to be on really understanding one's own traits, preferences and interests, probably through interactive web-based instruments and experiences. Youth also need to know the kinds of preparation needed for various careers, and the rewards likely in each. The series should help participating youth choose other 4-H opportunities to sample the kinds of skills they will need, for the careers they want. It is highly likely that many if not most of the series can utilize already existing web resources.
(Kathy Jamison)
This year's Premier promises to be the best ever. A total of 14 different workshops will be conducted. An additional seven sets of new and revised materials will be exhibited. Each team attending will receive a set of pilot copies of the 2004 products. A lesson plan and the workshop supplies to help conduct activities experienced in the workshop will be provided to participants. In addition, a set of marketing brochures will be provided to all teams. Register through the Galaxy Conference web site.
(Kathleen Jamison)
In addition to "showing" activities there will be non-dog related activities on the grounds also. Primitive overnight camping facilities are available on the grounds for interested participants.
Cost for the show is $15.00 per person and that includes lunch.
Details of the show and classes will be on the 4-H website in early June. Be sure to check the site for all the information.. http://www.ext.vt.edu/resources/4h/companimal/index.html

DMMS Students Write Books for Kindergartners in Jamaica
By Kelly Cupp
The Winchester Star
Tommy the turtle wanted to win the town's annual race and would do anything to win, even consulting his rival, Speedy the rabbit.
But, in the end, it was hard work and determination that enabled Tommy to defeat Speedy at the finish line.
After the race Tommy was known as "the fastest turtle in town," Tyler Tyler, 11, said as he held up the final picture in his book for the first-grade students to see.
Wert, a sixth-grader at Daniel Morgan Middle School, was reading a book he had written and illustrated to first-graders at Virginia Avenue Charlotte DeHart Elementary School.
He was one of about 20 sixth-graders who recently read their books.
Not only did the attentive first-graders get to hear and see the books, but kindergartners in Jamaica will also benefit from the hard work of the DMMS sixth-graders.
English Language Arts teacher Beth Huddleston said the book-writing project stemmed from a visit by Claudine Beckford during the first part of the school year.
Beckford, from Jamaica, spent the first few weeks of the school year observing Huddleston's classes as part of a 4-H exchange program.
Huddleston said during the time that Beckford was here the sixth-graders took a deep interest in her culture and in Jamaica.
The students, Huddleston said, looked up information about Jamaica so they could better understand and connect to what Beckford was telling them about her country.
Since the students took such an interest, Huddleston said she and Beckford wanted to find a way to connect their classrooms.
Pen pals wouldn't be possible because Beckford taught kindergartners. That's when Huddleston thought about having her students create books for Beckford's students.
After Beckford left for Jamaica, Huddleston said she started teaching her students what goes into a children's book.
She said they had to cover what is age appropriate for kindergartners and explain that culture differences may require more explanation for the kindergarten students.
For example, instead of saying that a Hummer is a vehicle, the students would need to draw a picture of one so the kindergartners would know what type of vehicle it is.
In addition, she said the students learned that children's books rely on bright colors and pictures, easy words, and some type of academic or life lesson.
To help her students write books that could easily be understood by kindergartners, Huddleston consulted a local kindergarten teacher and received a word list that kindergartners would probably know by the end of the school year.
The sixth-grade students then brought in their favorite children's books to share with the class and to discuss why that book was their favorite.
From there, Huddleston said, the students started writing and illustrating their books, using the kindergarten word list.
During the writing process, the students consulted one another and performed a lot of peer editing to make sure the kindergartners would be able to understand the book and its theme.
When the books were finished, one student had the idea to use desktop publishing software to complete the books.
After this process was completed, one of the student's father had the books bound free of charge at Berryville Graphics, Huddleston said.
Two copies of the books were made, one to send to Jamaica, and the other for the students to keep.
Huddleston said she has sent the sixth-graders' books to Beckford, but hasn't yet heard from her because her village doesn't have telephones and Internet access is limited.
Since the students wouldn't be able to read their books to the Jamaican kindergartners, Huddleston took them to Virginia Avenue Charlotte DeHart Elementary School.
Curtis Taylor, 12, read his book "The Adventures of Bun" to the students.
He said his book was about a bear that eats too much candy and gets a stomachache.
While writing, Curtis said, he tried to steer away from larger words.
But, he said he's been getting used to expanding his vocabulary and cutting back was a challenge.
Hallie Feingold, 12, said her book "The Saddle Mystery" focused on teaching students animal noises.
The book centers on a horse whose saddle is missing. The horse goes around the farm and talks to various animals asking if they have seen his saddle.
Another student, Elizabeth Killmer, 12, said her book was about a mouse with a short tail that didn't like others with long tails, but then grows a long tail.
Elizabeth said she liked writing the book because she enjoys writing things such as essays and speeches.

The Shamrock Sisters 4H Club is a second year club in Fairfax County Virginia. At the direction of the adult leaders, the club has performed various service projects for the community since its inception. Included in these projects are collecting and sorting food for the needy in Fairfax County, baking cookies and delivering them to elderly at the holidays, and raising money to buy and collect teddy bears for children in Fairfax who are entering foster care or are being adopted through the Fairfax County Department of Human Services.
In its first year, 2001-02, the club collected 7 lightly-loved bears from personal collections and raised money to purchase additional teddy bears. The decision was made to approach Build-A-Bear about receiving a discount to build brand new bears for several of the children. In year one, the club was able to build 14 bears. The Build-A-Bear Teddy Bears were well received by workers at the Department of Human Services. They especially liked that the bears came with a home and a birth certificate. As a follow-up, we invited a social worker to speak at a club meeting so the children could better understand the importance of what they did. We wanted to ensure that the focus was on the needs of the other children - not simply on the good works of these children.
This year, the Shamrock Sisters once again raised money by selling 4H Chocolates to neighbors, friends and schoolmates. The club raised enough to purchase 10 new TY Teddy Bears from Zany Brainy, at a 70% discount ($3.50 each), and then headed to Build-A-Bear Workshop to build 16 additional bears, with a 10% discount. In addition, one of our members' schools agreed to support us by allowing our President, a student at that school, to speak in front of the school assembly about our project and the needs of the children in Fairfax County. After the assembly, a large box was placed in the front hall of the school. The box was emptied daily - and netted over 300 new and lightly-loved assorted stuffed animals, including an additional 160 Teddy Bears. WOW!
The Shamrock Sisters spent time cleaning, sorting and packing the Teddy Bears in April. During Spring Break, the stuffed animals were delivered to Fairfax County Department of Human Services. Our contact thanked the girls and told them once again how important what they do is to these needy children.
And then a surprise. The club received an invitation to attend an event to honor volunteers in the foster care program. The Shamrock Sisters were honored, along with wonderful foster families and others in the community who serve foster children. Each of our girls was given a bunch of flowers and the club received a plaque, which will be proudly displayed at our meetings. Our Service Leader spoke to the audience when asked to tell about the project. Contest Day preparation took hold and she delivered a brief, but informative speech about our efforts.
The girls are energized, as are their parents. Now thoughts for our future include a regional activity? Watch this space, as plans to build a closer alliance to Build-A-Bear, through their foundation, and with the DC Council of governments are hatching.

These two programs are citizen involvement campaigns that encourage and recognize Virginians of all ages working to improve Virginia's natural resources. Operation Spruce-Up and the Fall River Renaissance have encouraged thousands to take a personal interest in improving the quality of Virginia's rivers, lakes and streams as well as the Chesapeake Bay. Both programs are supported by corporate and individual contributions. Cost to sign up: $0
Virginia's Adopt-A-Stream is a litter education and clean-up campaign aimed at promoting citizen stewardship of the Commonwealth's water resources. The program is meant to reduce litter entering Virginia's waterways, promote education and outreach, and facilitate community involvement. Participants (towns, local businesses, civic organizations, watershed associations, schools and scout groups) adopt _ mile or more of a stream or river, and commit to one clean-up per year for two years. Volunteers can also distribute educational materials or plant vegetative buffers. Cost to sign up: $0 Call (804) 786-2064.
People of all ages can help this community-based pollution control and awareness program. Many people don't understand the connection between their community's storm drains and nearby streams, rivers and lakes. Many citizens mistakenly believe this water is treated prior to reaching local waterways. Storm drain stenciling reminds residents of the direct connection between streets and waterways. DCR will provide a drain stenciling kit including instructions, stencils, gloves, safety vests, trash bags, broom/brush, paint and door hangers. Cost to sign up: $0
This is a national stream water quality monitoring program that involves collection and analysis of aquatic insects. It is suitable for youth and adult audiences. Workshops are available for program leaders.
Much of the litter deposited on roadways ends up in our rivers and streams. So clean up a highway and you'll be helping to keep our waters clean as well. For information on how your group can adopt or plant flowers on a highway, contact VDOT.
By planting trees and other native plants along streams and banks, you'll stabilize the shore from erosion and establish vegetation that will absorb excess nutrients. Free trees are available in some cases - contact DOF for assistance and details.
Organized by: Katherine Harding, Department of Historic Resources, (804) 367-2323 ext. 136
Learn all you can about the river or waterway nearest you and find out why it is environmentally and historically important to your community. Join local groups to interpret your riverfront's past and examine its future.

The characters are faced with challenging ethical situations, often where their friendships are at stake. In their struggles, to sort out right from wrong, the characters learn and model important lessons in life. The videos entertain with songs and humor, while motivating them to think, talk and write about the kinds of people they want to be.
A teacher's guide comes with each video, and it provides discussion questions, writing assignments, follow-up activities and take-home pages for parents. All videos are close-captioned and about 25 minutes long.
Individual videos are $69.95 and the entire set is $359.50. A thirty day preview and purchase is available by contacting Live Wire Media at 800-359-KIDS (5437).
