OGPC is a competition that brings together teams of
four to seven students and introduces or nurtures their
interest in computer science. The OGPC competition
season runs from December to May each year, concluding with the statewide competition in Salem. Both high
school and middle school teams compete by presenting
original computer games to nearly 30 judges and panelists. Judging criteria was based on awarding points to
teams for completing public and hidden achievements.
This methodology is a feature common in today’s commercially produced videogames and was adopted by
OGPC to emphasize cooperation over head-to-head
competition. Hidden achievements focused on specific
points of emphasis and teams were rewarded by going
above and beyond the learning goals of the challenge.
Teams scoring the highest points were honored with an
award. For more information about the Oregon Game
Project Challenge, visit www.ogpc.info.

Record Book Check
Dates Set
Record book checks are required for any 4Her (except clover buds) who plans to exhibit
at the County Fair. Members take their up to
date record book to any of the following dates
and sit down with a volunteer to review their book.
It’s best to attend early so if changes or additions
need to be made you have time to do it. If you cannot make any of the dates listed below, you may
send your record book in with someone else or call
Candi for an appointment. THIS IS ONLY IF
THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN MAKE ONE OF
THESE DATES! Remember these details:
 At least 4 items in your advancements must be
new (in every project that has advancements)
 You must have your community service complete
 You must have an additional educational event
complete (leadership retreat, idea fair, presentations, food booth, etc.)
 Last year’s records must be complete
 This year’s records must be up-to-date through
June 20.
Who Needs Wood? We Do!
If you or someone you know has some good
hardwood (pear, apple, cherry, juniper, oak) of
which they are willing to part with, the 4-H program will be more than happy to pick it up.
Each year the Buyers’ Barbecue and the Recognition Dinner require a lot of wood to make the
coals. Call 548-6088 or email [email protected] if you can help
out.

What’s Up?
Want to Host a
Japanese Exchange Student?
We are still looking for families to Host
Japanese students. Each year, Japanese students
come to Oregon to live an American life for 4
weeks (July 21 - August 18). Your son or
daughter would be a host brother or sister for the
4-week stay. We need to find homes for boys
and girls, between the ages of 11 and 17, and in
many cases, we really need to make a match
before May 1. If you would like more
information, you can call Shelly Creach (541388-0686) or Laura Cuthbert (541-306-0779).

Enrollment Fees Increasing
for 2013/2014 4-H Year
During a recent Executive meeting the decision
was made to increase enrollment fees slightly in
an effort to recover some of the increasing costs
of doing business, including event scholarships,
facility expenses, insurance, etc.
A $5 increase raising enrollment fees per member to $45 per year (regardless of the number of
project areas) and $50 after Jan 15. The 3rd
child and Cloverbud rates will remain the same
at $25.
These fees cover several direct costs like a $15
per member state fee, our small medical insurance policy for members and volunteers, and all
project materials. And, of course scholarships
are still available.
Skills Contest 2013
Don’t Forget About the
Silent Auction Opportunity
Remember, any member who does not weigh in
a market animal/pen has the opportunity to sell
something at the Silent Auction. Same benefits
as livestock youth. Bidding is done at the Buyer
Appreciation BBQ and all who eat have an opportunity to view each item closely. You can
submit an item, a basket of items, etc. Lots
(Auction Items) should be about your project
area, something you made or manufactured, or
something significantly about your project. If
you have a fiber goat, you might submit some
spun fiber and a how to crochet book or leathercraft participants might make a pair of spur
straps and matching reins, or horticulture members might put together a container garden.
Items will be juried for quality and content. If
you have questions, don’t hesitate to ask. The
auction committee will take a 5% administration fee, all other funds will be written back to
the exhibitor.
Summer Conference
Scholarships
Special Opportunity,
but we need your help
This year we have an amazing opportunity, but
I need your help. We have a local donor willing to grant us a full Summer Conference
scholarship and grant us up to 4 more full
match scholarships, meaning if we find donors
of a full scholarship, they’ll donate up to 3
more—I have one already…. The cost is $200
and we need these commitments fairly soon—
checks should be made payable to Oregon 4-H
Foundation. Thanks for your help! This gives
us the potential to pay full or nearly full scholarships for 9 youth to attend this really cool
opportunity!
As always we have partial scholarships for
Summer Conference Available too...

Looking for Pictures & Stories
We would love to have stories and pictures of
your club; what projects you’re working on,
what activities you’re doing and anything you’d
like to share about your club. Maybe you are
baking bread or making jam; sewing a fun project or learning to use a camera; practicing archery or practicing with your firearm; showing
your small animal or working your dog; working
with your market animal or taking care of your
production animals; doing community service or
doing a club activity; whatever you’re doing,
we want to know about it!
It is so fun to share these stories and photos on
our Deschutes 4-H Facebook site, our DCLA
website and in our Over the Clover newsletter. Please take the time to email your pictures
and stories to us and we will get them out there
and show everyone what we 4-Her’s do!
Want to Have a Better Understanding
of the Economy and the Economics Behind It? Join us for this Economics Short
Course...Excellent for adults and youth 7th-12th
grade.
Intro to Economics, May 2013:
Anna Shoffner received her Associates’ Degree with
a concentration in economics from COCC in 2010.
Since then, she has attended Hillsdale College, where
she studies under great political and economic thinkers like Brian Wesbury, Gary Wolfram, and Larry
Arnn. In summer of 2012, she went to Washington,
DC, where she worked for Virginia Thomas and Star
Parker’s think tank, CURE, and helped lay the foundation of a new political coalition, The Rosie Project.
This lecture series is intended to help its listeners
understand the basics of economics. It will be spread
out over three 90 minute lectures, covering basic
economic theory, graphical analysis, and terminology. If you’d like to understand and be able to evaluate what’s going on in the economic world when you
turn the TV on, this course is for you.
Rough Lesson Plan:
Lecture #1, The basics of Supply and Demand,
Graphing, and the Division of Labor:
Lecture #2, Ideological arguments and the Socialist Calculation Debate:
Lecture #3, Applications, and Implications for
Economic Growth:

Dog Judging
Contest Date Set
Brush up on all that DOG
knowledge and join us at the
dog judging contest on Wednesday, May 22 at 6
pm in the North Sister building on the fairgrounds.
Pull out your project materials to study—include
dog breeds and types, equipment, parts of the
dog and general health and knowledge. This is a
terrific opportunity to find out what you know
and what needs work—don’t miss out!
Are You Leasing an Animal?
Remember leases are required on all leased animals. Your lease must run from the animal
possession date (May 15, June 1, Apr 17, etc.
—depending on your project area) through the
state fair. One you lease the animal and exhibit
it at the fair, no one else may exhibit it at another fair. If you are leasing a horse and have
questions about the owner riding it on occasion, better call Candi, so everything is clear—
she really hates to disqualify folks because they
don’t follow the rules. 541-548-6088 x 7954
Dog Judging Contest
Don’t Miss This Fun & Educational Opportunity
What is dog judging? This is an opportunity for
your member to view four obedience competitors and four showmanship competitors and be
the “judge” placing them in order, then comparing those placings with an official at the contest.
Additionally, a variety of written tests gauging
the participants knowledge about dogs will be
administered. Study up on parts, skeletal and
digestion (depending on age), breeds, grooming
equipment, and general health questions. Then
bring a pencil and demonstrate what you know.
When: Wed, May 22; 6 pm (finished by 8 or so)
Where: North Sister Building on the fairgrounds
Rabbit Hopping?
If you are planning on doing
rabbit hopping at an upcoming
event or the county fair, remember you must practice a couple days a week
several weeks prior to the event. If you want
your rabbit to hop, you want him/her in shape so
lots of hopping competition will do no harm. So
get those bunnies hopping!

Small Animal Judging
Contest Results
Below are the results for the Small Animal
Judging Contest. Unfortunately, there were a
couple challenges with results, so I want you to
be aware, all members who did oral reasons received 20 points (the reasons were not actually
scored by the judges) AND there were no officials created for the pigeons, so those results are
not a part of the contest. You can pick up your
cards and a detailed report of scores, at the office or give Reaza a call and she can mail your
club to you.

Technology Leaders Unite!
*July Date has Changed
Hey folks I’m committed to having technology
clubs among us. With our first meeting under
our belts, we’re beginning to have some direction—the potential is large. Things to be thinking about: integrating technology for communication, record keeping and other activities, future skills contests, project records, and more! I
look forward to working together to building
this area and make it fun and educational.
For now, we will meet independently of the general advisory meetings, but don’t hesitate to attend the general advisory sessions on the second
Tuesday of odd months. However, most importantly, please join other S.E.T. leaders at the
Extension Office, 6: pm on:
Every 3rd Wed of odd months 6:00 pm to 7:30
pm;

Juniper Livestock Show
A Bit Different, but the same mission
The June Juniper show is no longer a jackpot
show….but it’s still fun and still an excellent
place to get those fair animals out, practice and
learn! Central Oregon 4-Hers, this is your prefair, you won’t want to miss this opportunity for
practice. Join us on Saturday, June 1—

Withdrawal Times
Medications, Feed, & Feed Supplements
Do you know what a withdrawal time is? It’s
the time that an animal must be off of the drug/
feed/supplement, etc. before slaughter.
This is just a reminder to carefully manage what
goes into your Market Animal. NEVER forget
that your market animal is going into the food
chain. There is no amount of money from a
jackpot, no big purple ribbon, and no growth
rate worth the potential consequences of harming a human by feeding something to your animal that you should not have.
Check every feed tag! Yes, feed tags, many
feeds have additives that have withdrawal times.
All supplements and additives must be for market animal consumption. Read all the documentation, tags, and labels. If you are not sure, ask
your veterinarian or Candi and she can help you
research.
Most dewormers have withdrawal times, lice
dust and mite dust usually have withdrawal
times—read the labels.
NOTHING should go in your animal that is not
intended for that species. Medications should be
administered upon veterinary advice only.
NOTHING may be administered at fair without
Candi or your FFA Advisor’s knowledge and at
the advice of a veterinarian. Questions, call
Candi and ask.
Want to Know if What You
are About to do With Your
Show Animal is Ethical?
According to Jeff Goodwin, the Nationally Recognized expert on show and food animal ethics,
you need only ask yourself these 6 questions:
1. Does the practice violate FDA law?
 Like feeding Paylean to lambs or giving Butte to a pig?
2. Does the practice harm the animal?
 Like beating a lamb so it feels firmer
to a judge
3. Does the practice result in fraudulent misrepresentation?
 Like lying about your animal’s age or
painting over a white mark to make it
fit into the breed class you want
4. Do you have to lie to cover it up?
 Like when you exhibit someone
else’s animal at state fair that you
didn’t exhibit at the county fair
5. Would the public be offended?
 Like withholding water from an animal
6. Does the practice conflict with real world
agriculture practices?
 Like drenching a lamb for some other
purpose than re-hydration.
Questions provided by Dr. Jeff Goodwin, Colorado State University and his Line in the Sand
media publications.

Educational Displays!
Get to Work!
This year, educational displays that you wish to
use for potential scores in high points and overall
knowledge based contests will be turned in on
Friday (showmanship day) of horse fair. You
will sign up with your fair entries, so you can be
given an interview time, you will interview on
Friday with your display. This allows this display placing to potentially be a part of the versatility and overall knowledge based awards. We
will then keep your displays and put them on display at the county fair, as well as allow them to
be considered for state fair eligibility. So work
on yours now, then it will be done when the
weather gets good and you can spend your time
outside instead of working on your educational
display.
You may also turn it in and interview during regular fair, but any placing will not be a part of
overall horse awards.
