Julia Harrison is a great exam-ple of how an FFA or 4-H stu-dent can turn around and

make their experience with theagriculture classes work for theirfuture.

Harrison lived in New Plymouthfrom second to the eighth grade.She went to high school in Payetteand graduated there because shefelt there were more extracurricu-lar opportunities for her.

Harrison’s mother was a PayetteHigh School teacher and made

Julia sign up for FFA.Harrison had to learn about

beef cuts, butcher cuts and did notwant to learn about any of that.However, she agreed to do one

year in FFA to appease her moth-er.

During the first year of FFA it isreferred to as the “green hand.”

Students learn about the FFA or-ganization and memorize the FFAcreed. They must also identifyseeds and wheat.

Keith Hyatt, the current chair-man of the county fair board, wasHarrison’s FFA adviser.

Through FFA, Harrison was sur-prised that welding, woodworkingand rebuilding small engines wereoffered through the program. It’snot just about agriculture,Harrison said.

Perhaps most importantly, FFAteaches the students how to beconfident. They are required to doa number of public speaking activi-ties. They are taught responsibilitythrough money management andquick thinking.

She competed in quite a fewcompetitions, as well.

Harrison said she went toMoscow to compete in state. InMoscow, the competition wasmore geared toward agriculture,and she traveled to Twin Falls tocompete in the business-relatedportions of FFA.

One time, Harrison’s group wonstate and they traveled to Kansas

City to compete in nationals.There, Harrison’s group received agold medal.

Harrison continued FFAthroughout high school.

Now, Harrison works at ZionsBank. Though she initially neverdreamed she would go into bank-ing, she’s been in the business for15 years.

She works as a lender at thebank. Harrison said her back-ground allows her to make solidjudgment calls on those taking outloans. People come to her and askfor loans and she needs to havethe ability to ensure that they arequalified and stable enough to paythe loan back.

She also said she knows the dif-ference between a heifer and steer,which has helped tremendously.She knows what a healthy, produc-ing heifer looks like and what asickly one looks like. Her years inFFA taught her the difference, andshe is able to make informed deci-sions based on that knowledge.

“It’s the one class throughout theyears that I use the most in my jobbecause it taught me about publicspeaking and having a professionalpresence,” Harrison said via email.“It also taught me the differencebetween a heifer and a cow, what

alfalfa is versus grass hay. If I did-n’t know the difference between aheifer and a cow, the majority ofmy cattlemen (clients) would say,‘Why am I talking to you aboutthis because you don’t even under-stand what I do?’ Those things arecrucial to what I do today. (FFA)also teaches budgeting and how tokeep a record book of income andexpenses that has to balance.”

Additionally, Harrison worksonce a year as a district level judge.

She’s been a judge for about fiveyears now. She judges in the salesand service portion of the compe-tition.

Harrison will have studentscome to her and they are expectedto play out a scenario. The stu-dents are given a customer service-type scenario and the way they re-

act to Harrison, acting as the cus-tomer, is scored.

“Some kids are totally prepared,”Harrison said of the students dur-ing the scenario. “They are pre-sented with a situation and it’s bet-ter that the scenario is in a compe-tition level, because the studentshave professionals helping.”

The other judges are also busi-ness owners or those working in acustomer service department.They can tell students what towork on if they do not do well too.

FFA builds life skills, Harrisonsaid. Students learn early aboutpublic speaking and build confi-dence before they get into the realworld. For Harrison, she said, a lotof what she learned in FFA, shewas able to use in her career.

Mike, is one of Fruitland’s FFAadvisors, so it was only naturalshe start showing animals at thefair. Her first year showing asteer was when she was 8 yearsold.

“In the fall I go down to wherethe cows are and I pick out theone I think looks best. They haveto be big and have a straightback and have to be wide fromthe belly to the back, and longfrom the head to the rear,”Tesnohlidek said. “That’s usuallyhow I pick out my steer. Theyhave to be big basically.”

Tesnohlidek’s parents, Mikeand Lisa, own about 50 cows.After Tesnohlidek and her sister,Madison, 9, pick out their steers,they wait until December, whenthe cows are weaned from theirmothers.

“Then usually after we tie them

up, we work with them,”Tesnohlidek said. “We try andpet them and brush them. Asthey get tamer you can workyour way and brush the wholearea of the calf.”

Tesnohlidek belongs to aFruitland 4-H club, led by hermother, Lisa, and MichelleHusflowen. During meetings,the 12 students exchange infor-mation about their animals andlearn what others are doing toprepare for the fair.

With less than a month untilthe fair, Tesnohlidek takesManny out every day to washhim and work with him with ashow stick. Right before the fair,Tesnohlidek and her sister willput show halters on their steers,decorate them and weigh themonce they arrive at the fair-

grounds.“Usually what we do at fair, we

put up a fan for them so theykeep cool,” Tesnohlidek said.“Last year, we put a water bucketin their pen but they spilled it.Now every two hours or so, wetake them to a water trough atthe fair.”

This year, Tesnohlidek will par-ticipate in the junior round ofshowing steers.

“I like it all, but you get nerv-ous so I don’t like waiting.That’s probably the worst part. Idon’t know which is the best.Maybe winning, you feel prettygood when you get first or sec-ond,” Tesnohlidek said.

Tesnohlidek was awardedgrand champion in one of theshowmanship classes last year.Her goal this year is to make itto the round robin.

“I think it’s fun to go to fairand learn with your animal andlearn what their behavior isabout,” she said.

Tesnohlidek said she used themoney she made at the fair lastyear to buy a heifer from herparents, which she will use tobuild up her herd. The rest ofthe money, she said, she put inan account to save up for college.She said she plans on going tothe University of Idaho andhopes to become a teacher.

Tesnohlidek also has a brother,Austin, 7. She was born in Boiseand lives in Fruitland.

“My steer is kind of shy thisyear so that may be trouble,”Tesnohlidek said.

Nothing a little practice can’t fix.

Ellie Tesnohlidek, 11, practices showing hersteer, Manny, at her family’s home in Fruitland.

Western Days in June. She said thatwas her favorite because they wereable to meet Miss Rodeo Idaho andMiss Junior Rodeo Idaho and theyhad an event where all the juniorand senior queens signed auto-graphs.

Someone had also read the biog-raphy of all the girls, too, Kautzsaid, and she enjoyed that.

Kautz said she encourages girlswho want to be a queen.

It’s a summer full of excitement,Kautz said. If they enjoy travelingand having a busy summer thenyou’ll have a good time.

Heather Kautz cautioned parents,though, that it costs a lot because oftraveling.

The different riding gear, gas,clothing, etc., adds up, and parentsand the junior and senior queenhave to be able to afford that.

“That’s the only reason

why I went to parades...

I wanted to see the queens.”

— Abbie Kautz

Johnston, who will be a highschool senior this fall and planson studying business at theUniversity of Pennsylvania,Northwest Nazarene Universityor a handful of other colleges.

Johnston got his start in agri-culture in 2005 when he began asheep breeding project with 4-H.

“My grandma gave us a sheep

for Easter, and Dolly was ourfirst one,” Johnston said. “Dollylived to be 14 years old. She waspart of the family.”

Johnston now has about 80club lambs, which he shows atthe Payette County Fair eachyear.

Johnston said becoming a 4-Hpresident has always been one of

his goals.“When I was first in 4-H, the

presidents I saw were role modelsfor me,” said Johnston, whosemain goal as president is to raiseIdaho state 4-H numbers. He alsoplanned the Idaho 4-H TeenConference, which took place inMoscow, Idaho, in June.

Johnston said he sees a lot of

good people in agriculture.“A lot of people refer to 4-H as

a family,” Johnston said. “They’resome of the most loving and ac-cepting people around.”

As for FFA, he said the organi-zation makes strong leaders.

“Even if you’re not going intoagriculture, FFA teaches so many

“A lot of people refer to 4-H as

a family. They’re some of the

most loving and accepting

people around.”—Clancy Johnston

“You realize how much you caninfluence other people,” he said.

Johnston said his grandfather

Maddie Gray has beenrepresenting PayetteCounty as the county

rodeo queen this year. She willpass her crown to the nextqueen on the last night of therodeo.

Gray, 17, didn’t plan to runas queen but there was no onestepping up to fill the spot.Her sister, a former PayetteCounty Rodeo queen, hadasked her to do it, and Maddiehasn’t looked back since.

Gray was a little hesitantabout signing up to be queenbut her sister Kaitlyn, whowas the 2007 rodeo queen, en-couraged her, promising to beher coordinator and decorator.

Maddie said people make thequeens feel so special.

“I get it now,” Gray said ofthe special treatment. The lit-tle girls who come up to her atthe events make her feel spe-cial.

Maddie was crowned lastyear at the rodeo by then-rodeo queen, Mandy Allison.There are no events in the fallto attend but once Decemberhit, Gray was going to quite afew events.

Her first event, at the BoiseWinter Parade in December,wasn’t a great start.

Gray threw up before the pa-rade started but decided to goon. However, her horsePeanut, has very sensitive feet,and the cold ground botheredhim. Since then though, Gray

has had a great time.Peanut is 11 years old, and

Gray has had him for fiveyears. He’s perfect for reiningand used to be Kaitlyn’shorse, Gray said.

Since summer started, Grayhas been going to events near-ly every weekend. Her JuniorQueen, Abbie Kautz, andGray have made a point tomatch each other in the pa-rades. They ride next to eachother at the events, and thematching helps when beingscored.

Gray’s family helps Maddieand Kautz prepare for theevents by getting the horsesand the decorations ready. It’sa lot of work, Gray said. It’snice to have the support sys-tem for the junior and rodeoqueen because it makes

everything easier.Gray has been trying to get

more girls to try out for beingrodeo queen this year.Though it can be expensive,traveling to the events andsome of the clothing is expen-sive if the potential queendoes not have it, it’s a reward-ing experience.

Not much is required forthe junior and senior rodeoqueen, but they must knowhow to ride — at least to thepoint that they can do a rein-ing pattern and they mustmake a speech for the ban-quet at the fair.

“They have to be good atselling themselves,” Gray said.However, Gray has had agreat time and has gotten tomeet many girls that she

wouldn’t have if not for being queen.Many of the local rodeo queens

show up at the same events and theyhave gotten to know each otherthrough the parades, banquets andother events offered for the queens.

It teaches the girls how to haveconfidence and how to presentthemselves well. They representtheir respective counties and need tobe responsible.

Another perk of being rodeoqueen is that you get a percentage ofmoney back from the advertisementsthe junior and senior queens are re-quired to sell for the parade.

She had such a positive experiencethat she is going to try out to be oth-er rodeo queens in the area. Many ofthe other cities that offer rodeoqueen or similar titles, offer differentthings to the girls who are crowned.

“People don’t know how awesome it is to be queen, but it’s agreat experience,” Gray said. “You can go where you want to goand people will let you in the event.”

Gray has made a Facebook page for the Payette CountyRodeo queens to see what she’s up to and for the next rodeoqueen to take over and share in her journey.

You can see Gray crown the next rodeo queen at the upcom-ing rodeo on Saturday, August 10.

sor, and learn about food preservation.

She helps teach canning, freezing and dry-

ing food in a safe way, as well.

Peutz is also a 4-H leader and takes her

youth to speak to stakeholders where the

4-H students talk about how 4-H affect-

ed them.

The students learn life skills. Through

various scenarios, they learn how to pur-

chase tires — what to look for, brands,

etc., along with such things as the proper

place settings at a table.

4-H students learn about the science be-

hind food, such as ice cream and how to

make it, popcorn and taffy and how to write

a proper thank you note.

Peutz has been working at the Extension

office since 1999.

She learned about photogra-

Peutz

went to

the

University

of Idaho for

college and

she was

offered a

scholar-

ship for tak-

ing one nutri-

tion class per se-

mester. She continued doing this

throughout her years and was

given $500 a semester for it.

This covered all of her school

fees and some of her book fees,

all because she had a background

in 4-H.

“4-H is a great

youth organiza-

tion,” Peutz

said. “We

have great

She is now using

her background in 4H to help

Every year, the 4-H studentsget together in preparationfor the county fair.

Navigating Payette is an opportu-nity for all students and their fam-ily to learn the ethics, culture andmore behind 4-H. It is a series of

classes and seminars to preparestudents for the fair as well assome character building exercisesto help the students with their fu-ture success in the program.

The students have the benefitof figuring out what to expect at

the fair and — perhaps most im-portantly — they earn tokensthat can be traded in for itemsto be used during the fair, basedon their participation, Joan Gill,4-H and Youth DevelopmentCoordinator, said.

This was the eighth year forNavigating Payette. There were 16stations set up at the fairgroundin New Plymouth in June.

Every station in which a 4-H stu-dent participated earned a $5 to-ken to use at the end of the day totrade in for 4-H cash, Gill said.

The stations were geared towardethics, winning and losing, what’sfun about 4-H and learning aboutthe golden rule. 4-H is meant to

make the students more matureand responsible. They learn re-sponsibility and learn how towork hard. These clinics aremeant to solidify all of that.

In all, 85 students came to theall-day preparation and therewere more than 85 parents whoattended.

A dairy clinic, rabbit, poultryclinic and a goat clinic were heldfor those who needed some in-struction on their animals.

The clinics are for the youngerstudents or those who don’t havea lot of previous experience withthe fair. Those students bringtheir animals, and someone checks

After the clinics and the students have hadenough to attend the stations, an auction isheld for those who earned the 4-H cash, Gillsaid.

The auction has its own auctioneer andprepares the students for what it’s going to belike at a real auction.

Auction items include anything frombrushes for their animals to shampoos,leads or clothing. There’s a wide variety ofitems needed to keep the animal and thestudent presentable, and the auction is in-tended to allow the student to get thoseitems who may not have the money to buyit themselves.

For anyone interested in joining 4-H, theage range is from 5 to 18 years old.

It’s a year-round project, though some class-es do not last the entire year, with many ofthe projects shown at the fair but its not nec-essarily required.

More information about the 4-H programwill be available at the Payette County Fairinside the 4-H building. Students will beshowing their projects and future potentialstudents can come in and see what is of-fered.

This day long series of courses prepares the students for the fair and allows them to

purchase items they will need during the fair.

Free well water testing is avail-

able to all private well owners at

the Payette County Fair on

August 10. Testing will be pro-

vided by Idaho Rural Water

Association, IRWA will have a

booth set up at the fair from 10

a.m. to 5 p.m.

Residents who want their pri-

vate or community well water

tested for nitrates or arsenic are

asked to collect a pint-sized sam-

ple in a clean container. A can-

ning jar works well. Make sure

the container has been washed

in warm, soapy water and

rinsed well. Those who have

water softeners or other filtra-

tion systems in their homes

should collect a sample from a

water source that is not connect-

ed to the filtering system, such

as an outside faucet. Tests will

be performed with test strips

and results are immediate.

IRWA will be educating peo-

ple on nitrates and arsenic in

their drinking water. They can

provide advice on how to lower

contaminants in drinking water,

how to prevent future contami-

nation, and proper well mainte-

nance.

For those who wear their hearts on

their sleeves for 4-H, fans hope they’ll

soon be able to add the familiar green

clover to their Idaho license plates.

The Idaho Friends of 4-H board is asking

fans of the popular University of Idaho

Extension 4-H Youth Development program

to support a licensing option to raise money

for activities.

Idaho Friends of 4-H, a volunteer fundrais-

ing group, is offering an online survey to

gauge opinions and collect signatures. The

online survey is at http://www.survey

monkey.com/s/JPWS999.

Signup sheets are also available at the

University of Idaho Extension county of-

fices statewide for vehicle owners to signal

their intent to buy the plates.

To get the license plate idea down the

road, the group needs the signatures of at

least 250 owners of Idaho-registered mo-

tor vehicles.CONTINUED ON PAGE 41

We are passionately committed to making a difference in people’s lives by providing service of the highest quality and

value in a supportive environment, promoting the health, independence and social interaction of seniors.

Call Pamela Sternberg, Executive Director, at 541-889-4600 today for more information on Emeritus at Meadowbrook.

“We’ve had a fair amount of

response already,” said Jim

Wilson, who serves on the

board of Idaho Friends of 4-H.

Wilson is also University of

Idaho Extension’s Kootenai

County office chairman

and 4-H specialist at

Coeur d’Alene.

Of the 160 people

who responded to the

survey, 142 indicated

they would buy the 4-H

license plate. The short

survey consists of five ques-

tions that can be completed

in about two minutes.

Wilson said the group

would like to show as much

support for the new plate as

possible before submitting the

proposal to the Idaho

Transportation Department.

“We’d like to have 800 to 1,000

people saying they intend to buy

the plate,” Wilson said.

Idaho’s special license plates of-

fer vehicle owners the chance to

show their support and donate

to their causes. A new special

plate adds $35 to a vehicle regis-

tration fee, and $22 would go to

4-H programs. Renewals of spe-

cial plates cost $25, and $12

would go to 4-H.

plate options show support for

wildlife, youth and agriculture.

The proposed new plate dis-

plays the green 4-H clover to the

left of Idaho’s familiar red, white

and blue backdrop behind

mountains and forests. The slo-

gan, “To Make the Best Better,”

appears across the bottom.

If the bid to add a new 4-H

plate succeeds, Wilson said, the

money will help fund new and

existing programs statewide.

The new push follows statewide

centennial activities sponsored

in 2011 by Idaho 4-H.

University of Idaho

Extension 4-H provides leader-

ship and educational activities

for more than 36,000 young

Idahoans ages 8 to 18 each

year with help from more than

4,000 volunteers. v
