Grey 4-Hforms K -OS in the Kitchen Club At Ni% Healthy flapjacks Lerissa Stevenson and Courtney Gubelmann are seen here making some healthy pancakes at the second meeting of the new Grey 4-H lifeskills club. (Photo submitted) By Emma Baan The first meeting of the Grey Township 4-H Good Foods Fast life skills project was held at leader Monique Baan's house in Walton on Jan. 12. We started our meeting with the 4- H pledge and played an introduction game. All members were given a puzzle piece of four different healthy food photos. Once they found all the matching pieces for their photo, they had to get to know each other better because one member would be randomly chosen to introduce everyone in their group to the entire club. The election of officers was held with results as follows: president is Grace Hallahan; vice- president, Wes Terpstra; treasurer, Katrina Gubelmann; secretary, Emily Bieman and press reporter, Mackenzie Terpstra. The roll call was "Describe one situation when you or your family needs to prepare food in a hurry". All the members moved into the kitchen with their groups and each group was in charge of making one recipe for all members to taste test. Members made banana and peanut butter smoothies, microwavable scrambled eggs, which only took two minutes, and they also added salsa to a batch of scrambled eggs which was really good. The final recipe was paper bag popcorn with different toppings. Members were assigned homework to make a quick, easy and healthy recipe for the family and to bring suggestions for a club name to the next meeting. The second meeting of the Grey Township K -OS in the Kitchen Club was also held in Walton on Jan. 19. Roll call was to "name two convenient foods available at the local grocery store" Everyone had to have an answer that no one else had said, so there was quite a long list of answers. Emily Bieman read the minutes of the last meeting and Katrina Gubelmann presented the treasurer's report. Leader Reg Vinnicombe showed a science experiment with baking soda and baking powder and the different properties between them, and how it created air bubbles. Members were then split into two groups and made a quick mix recipe. They used both a pastry blender and two knives to cut the shortening into the flour. They then made pancake batter with the quick mix and then put enough batter into a smaller bowl to make two pancakes. But before they cooked the pancakes they added extra nutritious ingredients like raisins, peanut butter, apples, bananas, applesauce, cinnamon and carrots in any combination they wanted. Everyone cooked and flipped their Sinclair details new CAP program coming Lois Sinclair of the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association (OSCIA) has told the Huron County Beef Producers to be on the lookout for potential funding through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) program. Sinclair, speaking to producers at their annual meeting on Jan. 10 at the Brussels Legion, said that with the expiration of the Growing Forward 2 program, farmers shouldn't expect a third installment of the program; at least by name. She said that CAP would soon be available through the federal government as well as Agriculture and Agri -Food Canada. The five- year program will provide $3 billion in funding from federal, provincial and territorial governments in order to strengthen the agricultural sector throughout the country. Sinclair was quick to tell producers to not allow their eyes to light up with the mention of $3 billion in funding, but did say there would be opportunities for local farmers if the project was right. She mentioned, for example, Environmental Farm Plans as a potential area that could be approved for funding under the new program. "The partnership will include federal programs and activities to help: improve market development and market access activities to address emerging needs of the sector, including small and medium enterprises, and help expand domestic and international markets and trading opportunities; enhance the competitiveness of the sector by advancing its science and innovation capacity and adoption of innovative products and practices with an emphasis on sustainable and clean growth and to strengthen the sector by better reflecting the diversity of our communities, enhancing collaboration across different jurisdictions and securing and supporting public trust in the sector," reads the program's website. The program, Sinclair said, begins April 1 and, aside from the information available on the website, little else is known about it. She also said that the programming being administered by the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association is gaining traction and the organization is getting stronger by the year, which has been exciting for her.
