4-H Demonstration Day Last Week

Posted on

 

On Sunday, April 28th, 18 Daniels County 4-H members spent their afternoon working on their public speaking and communication skills through demonstrations and illustrated talks at the 2024 county Demonstration Day event. Their families deserve special recognition as well for encouraging the 4-H members to participate and helping them prepare.

They had some fun, educational, and yummy topics!

Audience members learned how to make homemade milkshakes, buttery lefse, fresh homemade salsa, cherry pie, cheesy pizza, banana bread, and candy salad (yes, salad!). They also learned how to make playdough and slime, how to tag and dock lambs (baby lamb Chester was adorable!), how to make a simple cat tree, how to make a DIY marshmallow shooter (watch out!), how to change oil on your dirt bike, and how to use a portable camp stove.

Illustrated talk topics included understanding the differences between an English and western ranch saddle, the basics of caring for goats, and the basics of judging beef cattle.

The event wouldn’t be able to happen without the support of the community, volunteers, 4-H parents, and leaders. The judges panel consisted of Dana Fjeld, Judy Malone and Terry Farver. The 4-H committee for organizing the event included Jacki Oie, Amy Ridley and Alicia Sones. Ag-West Farm Credit of Sidney sponsored cash awards for each age division.

THERE ARE DIFFERENT KINDS OF TACO TROTS, this particular one was a foot race on Cinco de Mayo starting in front of the Pleasant Prairie Taproom, to the airport and back for tacos, beverages and live music. It was warm but very breezy for the twenty-some participants. As the starter’s flag went down, no one seemed in too big of a hurry to get going for the fun run. Most appeared to be setting their GPS watch and phone apps as Todd Archambeault, the flag man, excitedly waved away to get them started on their trek. It gave a new meaning to ready “set”, go. —Leader Photo b

Quit Now Montana Is New Name

Posted on

 

The Montana Tobacco Quit Line Celebrates its 20th Anniversary with a New Look and New Name!

Since its launch on May 14, 2004, the Montana Tobacco Quit Line has served over 115,000 Montanans and, of those, over 36,000 have successfully quit! To celebrate its 20th Anniversary, the Quit Line is getting a new logo and new name: Quit Now Montana.

Quit Now Montana is no longer a telephone-only service to help people quit smoking. It has changed with the times, and this rebrand reflects that change. Quit Now Montana still offers free quit coaching over the phone and now also offers coaching through online chat to all Montanans and text messaging for those under the age of 25, all while continuing to offer free nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum or lozenges) and quit medications.

Just as the times have changed, so have the types of tobacco and nicotine products that are addicting new generations of Montanans. Quit Now Montana helps with quitting all forms of commercial tobacco use, including newer products like e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches.

While cigarette smoking among Montana adults has decreased from 20% in 2004 to 15% in 2022, tobacco use continues to be the leading cause of preventable death. Each year, 1,600 Montanans die from cigarette smoking. In Montana, an estimated 128,000 adults and 18,000 youth currently use tobacco. Additionally, use of tobacco products disproportionately affects vulnerable populations such as: youth, Medicaid recipients, American Indian adults, pregnant women, and those with behavioral health conditions.

Quit Now Montana provides specialized services to those more heavily burdened by commercial tobacco: My life, My Quit for ages under 18, an incentivized Pregnancy Program, the American Indian Commercial Tobacco Quit Program and a Behavioral Health Program. Visit QuitNowMontana.com to learn more about each of these tailored services.

“There is no safe level of exposure to commercial tobacco products,” says local Tobacco Education Specialist, A.J. Allen. “These products contain known harmful toxins which can lead to health complications and diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, lung disease, cancers, and stroke. These products are also known to be incredibly addicting and quitting commercial tobacco products can be a challenge without support.” About 70% of people who smoke report wanting to quit while 50% attempt to quit each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About 4% of people who try to quit on their own succeed compared to 34% of people who successfully quit by accessing coaching and quit medications through Quit Now Montana.

Help celebrate the 20th Anniversary by quitting commercial tobacco and nicotine today!

Get started today by calling 1-800-QUIT NOW or visiting www.QuitNow-Montana.com.
