4-H sheep club cleans up at recent meeting
The Huron County 4-H
Sheep Club held their
sixth meeting on Sept. 6 at
2:00 p.m. at Jacqui
Bishop's place.
We learned how to wash
a sheep, dry them and
brush them to get them
ready for Fair Day.
Then we saw
how to card
their fleece,
4-H Sheep Club
clip their feet
and how to use the hand
sheers. After we were all
done we had a practice
show.
Leader Chris showed us
how to set up
our lambs and
how to keep
our eye on the
judge.
Then we had our test for
the Sheep Club and the 4-
H Club test.
We had a pot luck
supper that was provided
by the members from both
the North Huron Sheep
Club and the South Huron
Sheep Club.
We ended the meeting
with the 4-H motto.

Local student challenges others
to give locks to help others' lives
By Susan Hundsrtmark
Expositor Editor
After cutting her hair
last June for Wigs for
Kids, Stacie Van
Miltenburg is challenging
students at St. James
School to start growing
their hair to make the same
kind of donation during
cancer month in April.
Van Miltenburg, who
graduated from St. James
last year and is now a
Grade 9 student at St.
Anne's Secondary School
in Clinton, says she's
making the challenge at
her alma mater because of
the number of students
who expressed an interest
in the project last year.
"There were about five
little girls who wanted to
do it too but their hair was
too short at the time," she
says.
While boys are also
welcome to take up the
challenge, Van Miltenburg
is guessing that most boys
won't have enough time to
grow their hair by April.
But, she hopes to make the
project an ongoing one.
It took Van Miltenburg
four years to grow her hair
long enough to make a
donation and she is
growing it again to make
another donation.
"It's a good cause and
it's become tiny cause," she
says.
Anyone who wants to
donate must have a 10 to
I2 -inch braid that is clean,
dry, secured with a rubber
hand and stored in a
plastic bag. The hair must
not be colour -treated.
She says anyone who
currently has about eight
or nine inches of hair
could aim to participate in
April.
Those who do will be
asked to collect pledges to
raise money again for the
pediatric ward at the
London and District
Children's Hospital, which
receives wigs from Wigs
for Kids in Ohio.
Wigs for Kids is a non -
profit organization
providing hair replacement
solutions for children
affected by hair loss due to
chemotherapy, alopecia,
burns and other medical
conditions.
Last year, St. James
raised $456.35 in
donations for the
children's hospital in
London.
While she's issued the
challenge at St. James, Vart
Miltenburg says she'd be
willing to visit any other
school that wanted to get
involved and to organize a
similar challenge there,
"I'd be willing to go to
any school if the interest is
there," she says.
