Prince Albert, Sask.- It was an exciting end to a long day when the charity steer at the Prince Albert Finished Beef Show and Sale raised $63,000.

The 4-H clubs who participate in the Prince Albert Finished Beef Show and Sale – including West P.A. 4-H Beef Club, Canwood 4-H Beef Club, Weldon 4-H Beef Club, Torch River 4-H Club and Wild Rose 4-H Beef Club – have been hosting the charity steer event with the Prince Albert Exhibition for about 15 years, said West P.A. 4-H Beef Club member Sara Grassick.

“All the members contribute – they split up the feed costs and the value of the steer,” Grassick said. “The 80 kids that are showing up at this show pay for this steer to be raised, so it is really a community thing.”

Each year, a different 4-H club raises the charity steer. This year, it was the West P.A. 4-H Beef Club’s turn, she explained. Their club decided to donate the funds to the Rose Garden Hospice, which is a palliative care home being built in Prince Albert for terminally ill patients.

“This is something that sparked our interest and when you start looking into hospices, you wonder why don’t we have one,” Grassick said. “It is going to be a hospice not only for Prince Albert but northern Saskatchewan.”

The five 4-H clubs started the Dutch Auction by giving those who donated $25 an entry into the draw to win the steer. After a family won the steer, it was resold three more times in a traditional auction, raising a total of $32,584.

“We are also really excited because Malcolm Jenkins (the owner of the local Canadian Tire), he has decided to match all of the donations we have raised,” Grassick said. “We are pretty pumped.”

With the matching funds from Jenkins, the total donation to the Rose Garden Hospice was $63,000.
​
“It is going towards a great cause and something that means a lot to all of us because everyone has been effected by these awful diseases,” Grassick said. “To have somewhere, potentially and unfortunately your relatives can use, it means a lot to these kids.”

Thirty-one 4-H members from across the province came together on April 7 for the 2018 Provincial 4-H Public Speaking Competition at the Horizon Credit Union centre in Melville to compete for the top place honours in this prestigious competition.
​
Public Speaking is a very important component of the 4-H program, which helps young people to develop confidence and communication skills. All 4-H Saskatchewan members write and present a speech to their club during the 4-H year. Competitors earn their spot at the Provincial 4-H Public Speaking Competition after advancing through the club, district and regional tiers of the competition in their age category.
The opening brought about 150 people together in silence to honor and in support of those involved in the recent tragedy of the Humboldt Broncos bus crash.

The speeches began at 1 p.m. and proceeded throughout the afternoon with each speaker presenting their speech in turn. All of the youth were exemplary and poised while speaking on topics that were informative, entertaining, or close to their heart.
The competition was followed by a banquet and awards ceremony where special guests the Honorable Warren Kaeding; MLA of Melville-Saltcoats, Mayor Walter Streelasky; Mayor of Melville,  Cera Youngson; Executive Director, Saskatchewan 4-H, Glenn Gress; President, 4-H Saskatchewan, Suzette Szumutku; Guest Speaker, sponsors: Mike Fisher; Painted Hand CDC, Patricia Taillon; SGEU working Together For Saskatchewan, Becky Niessen; F.C.C, Lorie Chambers, Bell, Krecklewich & Chambers Barristers & Solicitors.

In the Cloverbud category, for members aged six to eight, Sunny Cooper earned first place with her speech “The Time I Almost Lost My Marbles.” Sunny is from the South West region, and a member of the Eston Multiple 4-H Club. She spends her days playing the violin, dancing and creating crafts and spending time with her brother and sister. Sunny is in the Outdoor Adventure project, as she loves being outdoors and learning about animals and safety. Sunny’s favorite part of 4-H is Public Speaking. When she was six years old she watched her brother reluctantly deliver his speech and then informed her parents that next year she was joining 4-H so she could do a speech too. She loves talking and telling stories to anyone who will listen.
Tyson Code earned first place in the Junior category, for members nine to 12 years old, with his speech topic “Giraffe.” He is a member of the Eston Multiple 4-H Club also from the South West Region and likes rodeo, roping, playing guitar, biking, the outdoors and hunting. This year he is in the welding project, which he finds fun and will be a useful skill for his future. Tyson’s favorite part of 4-H is the friends he meets along the way and the experiences it offers.

Hunter Reid earned his first place with the Intermediate category, for ages 13 to 15, with his speech topic “Courage.” He is a member of the Crown Hill 4-H Beef Club, representing the North West Region. Hunter enjoys basketball, football, dance and cooking. He is in the Beef Project, this year he has a steer named “Victor” and a heifer named “Victoria”. Hunter’s favorite part of 4-H is the animals, showing, friends and speeches. 
In the Senior category, Morgan Heidecker earned first place with her speech “Defining Success.” She is a member in the Three Lakes 4-H Beef Club, representing the North East 4-H region. Morgan’s hobbies include composing music, playing piano and singing in various Saskatoon choirs. Morgan likes to involve herself in groups and associations within the Agriculture Industry, on and off the campus of the University of Saskatchewan. She is in the Beef Project, this year taking Market Steer, Heifer and Cow Calf Projects. She feels the Beef project is important as it gives youth a better understanding of the industry and provides a financial return in which youth learn how to save money and budget. Her favorite part of 4-H is the unforgettable memories that were being made without even realizing it…The memories made while wasting time, and bringing peers, communities and members closer together.

Congratulations to all of the top placed competitors at the 2018 Provincial 4-H Public Speaking Competition, listed below with their placing, 4-H Club and speech topic.

Thank you to the clubs of the District #13 4-H Council, which includes the Goodeve Multiple 4-H Club, Melville Town ‘N’ Country 4-H Club and Neudorf Beef 4-H Club, as well as those on the Public Speaking committee for their hard work preparing and hosting this event.

Although it was a late night on Saturday, everyone was up early and ready for the business meetings to continue at 9 a.m. on Sunday.
New to AGM this year, members and leaders participated in the Focus on 4-H Forum. This was an open discussion on suggested policy changes related to Livestock Show Rules, the new pilot General Record Book, and any other topic of interest to our membership.

4-H Canada created the Hands to Larger Service program through a new youth program called Canada Service Corps, which encourages young Canadians to get involved in service to their communities and gain valuable skills and experience that will benefit them in every aspect of life. It will also provide young Canadians with the opportunity to build service opportunities that currently do not exist.

Through Hands To Larger Service, 4-H Canada will select 30 Youth Service Leaders, between the ages of 16-25, who will be trained to support and lead community-based service projects in summer 2018. They will travel across Canada co-creating community-focused service projects in partnership with other youth as part of the 4-H Club to Club exchange program, showcasing Canada’s diverse heritage, regional landscapes and a shared commitment to youth leadership and community engagement.
This is an exciting opportunity for 4-H youth across Canada to demonstrate their leadership skills and commitment to community engagement!
​
Youth service leaders will grow new skills, such as: 
·       Learn project management skills
·       Develop leadership skills
·       Build networks within communities
·       Gain volunteer experience
·       Meet other 4-H’ers from across Canada
·       Deliver meaningful service projects with a lasting impact
·       Help create a culture of service for youth across Canada
Applications to be a Youth Service Leader are open from February 1 to March 16, 2018.
