When the president, Melissa Higgins asked roll call, each member named their favourite fruit and vegetable. These included: celery, cauliflower, strawberries, and apples. They learned that it is important to eat different colours and a variety of items within this group to make sure that they are getting different vitamins. In the second meeting, Mary Ellen Foran led the business discussion. The members voted on a title page and name. Since the members know it is important to have a balance diet, they chose Balanced Bodies. The members began work on lunch. Four different groups made pizza dough. Even though some people consider pizza to be junk food, the Balanced Bodies knowthat it can have all four food groupson it. The crust is a grain product,cheese is a milk product, and thetoppings the members chose, suchas ham, pepperoni, green pepper, tomatoes, mushrooms and onion, give them their vegetables and meat products. While the dough was rising, the members did a judging activity to evaluate several different meals, then went outside to play soccer baseball. While the pizzas were cooking, Eileen George got the members to run a relay race where they had to sort food items into food groups. After lunch the members went outside for a quick break. A variety of games were played, including one that Jolande Oudshoorn invented – double grounder. The members then went inside for meeting three about the importance of breakfast and grain products. When Melissa Higgins asked roll call, almost all the members said that yes they had had breakfast and shared their choices. Eileen George reminded themembers how important breakfastwas and gave them suggestions onhow to make their breakfastshealthier or how to incorporate oneinto their morning. One main component of many breakfasts is an item from the grainproducts food group.The members read a page in theirbook, then got into groups toperform skits or songs about grainproducts. Ellen and Reba Jefferson led the members outside for a spirited gameof rubber chicken. It was very windywhich just made it more fun.After running around so much, themembers were hungry and headedback inside to close the meeting and munch on some snacks.

That was the message delivered by David O’Rourke of O’Rourke Transport of Dublin when he came to speak to the Central Huron 4-H Swine Club for the second meeting on May 18 at the Winthrop United Church. Mr. O’Rourke spoke about how to handle pigs during the transportation process. One suggestion he gave the members was to load three or four pigs at a time. He stressed the importance of keeping a watchful eye for stressed animals. A pig that is stressed might be panting or lying down and refusing to get up. Mr. O’Rourke showed the members a video that displayed humane methods of transporting swine. A positive attitude is the key to successfully transporting a swine crop. After thanking Mr. O’Rourke for his informative presentation the members were treated to ice cream and maple syrup by their leaders Don Dodds, Barb Storey and Darrell Bergsma. Swine Club meets in Winthrop, learns about transporting pigs By Vicki Blake This year the Belgrave Brussels Beef Club started with its first meeting which was held on May 6 at the home of leader Paul Coultes. They took a tour of his feedlot. He showed them what he feeds his cattle, then they made educated guesses on what type of breed he had. They ended the meeting by nominating the executive: president, Crystal Blake; vice-president, Lana Shapton; secretary, Emily Baker and press reporter, Vicki Blake. The second meeting was held at Green’s Meat Market in Wingham. They discussed the types of cuts, then went in and watched as they cut up a whole side of the beef. Members were very impressed about how regulated the temperature was and how many different federal and provincial regulations there are. They saw the freezer where the meat is hung.
