Meet- ing One was held on Apri117th at 7pm at the Jeffersons. As the sixteen members arrived, they played a "Who/What Am I?" game organized by Mary Ellen Foran. After all thenew members were intro- duced, the meeting was officially opened with the 4-H pledge. The members were then divided into groups and were given the task of pre- senting information to their fellow mem- bers on the topics of cooking basics, measuring techniques and tools of the trade. The presentations were in forms of sldts, poems and demonstrations. The next order of business was the election of officers. Reba Jefferson was elected as President with Jolande Oudshoom as her Vice President. Maisy Jefferson volun- teered to be the Press Reporter and Loretta Higgins was voted in as Attend- ance Recorder. Scott Jefferson was cho- sen to be the Treasurer. All members agreed on having a rotating secretary and the meetings were given to members who did not hold an office. Following the election of officers, the newly elected president, Reba Jefferson led roll call which was "Why would you skip breakfast? What is a good reason for eating breakfast?" In regards to the first question, many members answered they are not hungry in the morning or are run- ning late and don't have time. Members offered many good reasons for choosing to eat breakfast including that breakfast cuts down on the snacks consumed dur- ing the day, helps maintain a healthy weight, fuels the body for the day and helps maintain good blood sugar levels. To take a break from sitting, members participated in an Easter egg hunt outside. Next, members washed their hands before beginning the recipes for the Submitted by Maisy Jefferson Gayle Mcihargey and Melissa Higgins making Raspberry Banana Smoothies at the Wawanash Lifeskills 4-H Club meeting April 17, 2014. meeting.

We went through the requirements to complete the 4-H club and the different registration forms that are due. Project information sheets are due before May 15. Everyone was divided into 4 teams and the challenge was to make a struc- ture out of toothpicks, tape and a giant marshmallow which had to be free standing. The Junior and Senior members were divided into two groups to learn about judging. The Senior members upstairs watched a video all about judging and the junior members were downstairs learning the parts of a beef animal, what to look for and how to place animals for judging. Members got to share ideas of what they would like to do for future meetings. The meeting was adjourned and every- one enjoyed a snack LUCKNOW FIELD CROP 4H CLUB Maisy Jefferson Meeting 1 of the Lucknow Field Crop 4-H Club was held on Thursday April 24th, 2014 at the Lucknow Legion.

Following the pledge, Rebecca Miller went over the member requirements for the club including a member project, attending a minimum of 4 meetings, and a crop entry in the Lucknow Fall Fair.

St. Peter's Parish hall was full of happy natu- ralists who enjoyed a great dinner and a wonderful evening of film and slides from members and a guest speaker. They also had a wonderful table full of door prizes donated by the members. Well it really looks as though spring is finally here. Despite the fluctuating weather, warm and sunny one day, cold and rainy (or snowy) the next, daffodils are blooming and for me, that's a sure sign of spring. This past weekend there were a number of events happening in town. The Luc - know Minor Hockey Association held their annual banquet. It's a great way to support our local minor hockey players and organizers. HAWK Theatres production of The Per- ils of Persephone began last week, but not to worry, if you haven't had a chance to see it, it's on again this weekend. If you can go by the laughter in the theatre as an indicator of whether or not the play is worth watching, it's really worth going to see. Also happening this weekend is the town wide yard sale. As we all know, one persons cast off could very well be another persons treasure. Go out and find some bargains, you'll be glad you did. Sympathy of the community to the families of: Dorothy Murray, 83, Lucknow, Doris Moss, 86, Lucknow (formerly Auburn); Jean Tiffin, 87, Lucknow (for- merly Wingham); Adam Kennedy, 87, Wingham (formerly Teeswater); and Wal- ter Moore, 76, Wingham (formerly Lucknow). and Maisy Jefferson was chosen to be Press Reporter. Leah Hudson then taught the members about hard and soft red winter wheat and the different uses for the two types. She explained how dead patches, called "winter kill',' that can cur- rently be seen in wheat fields, are due to the harsh winter. The leaders then passed around different wheat samples. Rebecca briefly explained how wheat could be staged by height or by the number of leaves. Members learned about the importance of staging wheat before applying herbicides or fungicides. Next Leah asked the members to name weeds commonly found in fields. The leaders then passed around perennial weeds such as dandelion, plantain, and common mallow. Members were to familiarize themselves with these weeds and analyse their roots. Kim passed around a weed identification book and explained the importance of identifying weeds by the cotyledon. The names were drawn for the hats, and then Logan Curran closed the meeting. The members then enjoyed snack pro- vided by the leaders. The date of the next meeting at Roberts Farm Equipment is yet to be decided. SUDOICti THIS WEEKS PUZZL. SPON SOREL) BY TM . Brij tucknow Sentinel!
