4-H MOVE ACROSS MISSOURI
Alison Copeland
4-H Move Across Missouri (MOVE) pro-motes physical activity by encouraging youths and families to engage in physical activities they enjoy such as walking, biking, running, swim-ming, dance, taekwondo, gardening and more.
Using an online system, youths and their families can “log” the number of minutes they accumulate throughout the year. Sign up as an individual or as part of a team. MOVE awards will be provided. Sign up on the 4-H website - http://www.4h.missouri.edu/programs/move/. MOVE is co-sponsored by the Missouri Beef Industry Council.
Monthly MOVEment Activity
Youth, families, clubs, afterschool groups and others can have fun while being physically ac-tive.
Follow the Leader
Ask a participant to lead stretching activi-ties. Help the youth be prepared by discussing all the parts of the body that need to be stretched. Work from the middle of the body (torso) out to the limbs. For example, start at the waist, then do the hips, upper leg, lower leg, ankles, then shoulders, arms and wrists. Make sure no body part is missed! Hold each stretch for 20 to 30 seconds. Individuals should not bounce as they stretch!
CHILI SUPPER FUNDRAISER OCTOBER 9TH

Tasted Pumpkin Seeds
Don't toss those pumpkin seeds! Roast them to make a quick and crispy snack.
Supplies
• Pumpkin seeds from your jack-o'-lantern
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Baking pan with raised edges
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350º Fahrenheit
2. Separate the seeds from the pumpkin. Rinse and pat them dry with a paper towel. Put the seeds in the baking pan.
3. Drizzle olive oil over the pumpkin seeds and then sprinkle them with salt. Stir the seeds to coat them with oil, then spread them out evenly over the bottom of the baking pan.
4. Cook for 10 minutes, then remove the pan from the oven and stir the seeds. Return to the oven for another 10 minutes until the seeds are golden brown.

Participants in the 2010 Sullivan County 4-H &
FFA Livestock Sale are pictured on the left. 38 members sold or had
sponsored steers, sheep, hogs, heifers, bucket calves, rabbits and poul-try. A special thank you
to Diane Albrecht for taking pictures and Robert Jaques for providing the
meal. Checks can be picked up beginning Octo-ber 4th (make sure you
