May 25, 2022
Washington State University (WSU) Extension 4-H Youth Development Program and the WSU College of Agricultural, Human, and Natural Resource Sciences (CAHNRS) are pleased to announce the 2022 scholarship winners. We are proud to offer scholarship assistance to support Washington high school students currently enrolled as 4-H members.
Shannon Allen (Thurston County) and Kathleen Sciarotta (Kitsap County) each received the J. Orville/Helen Young and 4-H Fund Scholarship. Allen will be attending South Puget Sound Community College in the fall of 2022. She has been part of 4-H for eight years, has shown rabbits, pack goats, and participated in several leadership activities including teaching an after-school program about gardening, plants, and healthy living once a week. Sciarrotta will be attending Washington State University (WSU) Pullman in August with plans to major in neuroscience on the pre-vet track. She has been in 4-H for eleven years and had the opportunity to take on a 4-H Academy community service project event that boosted involvement with local 4-H clubs.
Molly Greiner (Skagit County), Alaina Houser (Thurston County), and Chloe Mattson (Kittitas County) were awarded the Lewis County Leaders 4-H Council Scholarship. Greiner plans to attend WSU Pullman in the fall and double major in biochemistry and English with her goal being to attend the WSU Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. 4-H has played an influential role in Greiner’s life for the past six years as she barely recognizes her painfully shy elementary school self as her leadership and organizational skills have developed significantly. Houser has been a member of 4-H for ten years and will be attending Oregon State University to major in environmental science. She hopes to become an involved leader and help the next generation of 4-Hers have as valuable an experience as she was given. Mattson will be attending the WSU Honors College and plans to study biological science (with a pre-medical track) and Spanish. Over the last ten years in 4-H the projects Mattson participated in include lambs, food and nutrition, leadership, and Know Your Government.
Haley Neumiller (Spokane County) was the recipient of the Thomas R. Quann 4-H Scholarship and will be attending the University of Washington this fall to major in bioengineering to become a pediatric occupational therapist. In Neumiller’s seven years in 4-H she learned to seek opportunities to serve the community and owes many accomplishments to the skills and lessons she learned through the guidance from countless 4-H leaders and mentors.
Olivia VanderVeen, (Whatcom County) received the O.M. Plummer Scholarship of the Oregon Community Foundation, and will be attending Iowa State University to major in animal science and become a large-animal veterinarian. VanderVeen has been a 4-H member for nine years and has raised market hogs, dairy goats, rabbits, chickens, and more. Her goal is to use her education to give back to the community that she loves and has already given her so much through their support and countless opportunities.
Tressa Wade (Grant County) was awarded the Woody and Joan Bernard 4-H Higher Education Scholarship and will be carrying on a Vandal family tradition and attend the University of Idaho to major in animal sciences and minor in agriculture communications to seek a career in the field of genetics and artificial insemination (AI). Eleven years as a 4-H member has built Wade’s passion for agriculture which led to her desire to produce her own livestock and grow a cattle and sheep breeding business using AI.
Katherine Moen (King County), Rosetta Renwick (Walla Walla County), and Aubree Triplett (Pacific County) have all been 4-H members for over ten years and are the recipients of the WSU 4-H CAHNRS Dettman Scholarship. Moen will be pursuing a major in animal science with the pre-veterinary pathway in the CAHNRS program. She gained experience and knowledge, with the leadership roles in her club, as well as presenting on poultry care and handling, organizing community service projects, and teaching incoming members about 4-H and showing chickens. Renwick has wanted to attend WSU for as long as she can remember and the generous contribution towards her continued education will help make her goal of majoring in wildlife ecology a little easier to achieve. She showed swine for eight years, participated in livestock judging and oral reasons, and gave demonstration presentations to improve her public speaking and presenting skills. Triplett has carried on a 4-H family tradition with her livestock projects based on beef cattle, swine, sheep, rabbits, and marketing off livestock at her county auction. She will be majoring in agribusiness at WSU. Triplett’s thank-you letter shares a compassionate reminder that, “One of the biggest reasons I would love to give back to 4-H is because it has taught me countless life skills and blessed me with valuable memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. Every child should get the opportunity to experience that like I did.”
Congratulations to all the 2022 award recipients that dedicated their 4-H experience “to make the best better,” and continue working towards accomplishing their next steps in higher education.

AVIAN INFLUENZA UPDATES
Articles and Links
All About Avian Influenza
If you have poultry or know someone who does, please read through this material and use the links as needed. Currently, the surveillance areas are for 10 kilometers/about 6.2 miles and for 30 days from the point of origin, current information at https://agr.wa.gov/departments/animals-livestock-and-pets/avian-health/avian-influenza/bird-flu-2022, you can see when and where there are confirmed cases around the state. This first one is the updated WSDA website it has the daily update and a brand-new interactive quarantine area map. There is also a new map showing all of the positive locations in the U.S. As of May 17th, at 10 AM there are eight confirmed positive backyard flocks (small flocks), in eight different counties in the State of WA.
Fairs will make their own decisions but remember it is still early for most fairs to make a call on hosting poultry shows at county/community fairs and the surveillance is for 30 days. At this time, this is not a quarantine other than for the properties that have been depopulated.
Currently, migrations of wild waterfowl are the major mode/vector/fomite that is spreading Avian Influenza. However, attention to bio-security practices should be enhanced so that we (people) and our modes of transportation as well as other animals do not become fomites. There is MUCH more information below and many links to help answer your questions and a link to watch a recorded broadcast via YouTube with our WA State Veterinarian Dr. Amber Itle from 5/12/22.

Avian Influenza in Washington State – What all bird owners should know and think about …
Avian Influenza is in Washington State and since birds use a flyway and don’t stick to the freeways it should be considered everywhere.
Be extra careful during wild bird migration seasons (spring and fall) particularly wild waterfowl, to protect your flock from infectious diseases. Where possible keep birds inside or undercover and check coops, pens, and poultry houses regularly for areas that allow wild birds to perch, nest, or interact with domesticated fowl. Learn more about biosecurity at: bit.ly/DefendtheFlock-Resources (available in several languages).
Please report any unusual or high rates of illness or death in your flocks: WSDA Sick Bird Hotline at 1-800-606-3056.
For food safety questions, call WSDA Food Safety Program at 1-360-902-1876
Contact the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to report sick or dead wild birds Report Wildlife Observations (arcgis.com)
AVIAN INFLUENZA – HOW POULTRY OWNERS CAN PROTECT THEIR FLOCK
Below is a recording of a 2021 WSDA webinar on highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) and steps poultry owners can take to protect their birds from this disease. In this webinar you will learn:
- What HPAI is and signs to look for in your flock
- How the global conditions are similar to the 2014/2015 outbreak of HPAI that reached Washington
- What effective biosecurity means and practical steps you can take to protect your flock

Colville Reservation 4-H Project Contributes to Rangeland Rehabilitation
Celebrating Earth Day and caring for the Earth should be more than just one day of the year. Colville Reservation youth are demonstrating this by contributing to the rehabilitation of the rangelands on the Colville Indian Reservation.
WSU Colville Reservation Extension 4-H program is partnering and collaborating with Colville Tribal and Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) Natural Resource programs to teach youth how to make seed bombs to attract pollinators. The youth also get to learn about wildland fire and the damage that it causes to the lands. The objective of this project is to promote environmental stewardship and awareness in youth by encouraging them to take an active role in helping the environment.
“We have developed the Seed Bomb project as a form of citizen science, to help rehabilitate and rejuvenate the burned rangelands” stated Linda McLean, Director/FRTEP 4-H Extension Educator for WSU Colville Reservation Extension 4-H Program. McLean went on to say, “In the summer of 2021, the Colville Reservation was ravaged by wildfire. This project allows for reservation youth to learn about the damage that wildfire can create and how they can help heal the Earth.”
Creating and distributing seed bombs will allow plants to grow and attract pollinators to the area. In addition to gaining education, the youth are directly contributing to the healing or the burned lands by dispersing their seed bombs on the burned areas. These seed bombs will lay in wait for natural rainwater to melt away the clay, water the soil, sprout the seeds, and then grow beautiful native plants. These plants will attract pollinators to the area, but they will also help with restoring the environment.
To date, we have worked with four schools and two Boys & Girls Clubs, for a total of 528 students. During the presentation, on average, each student makes five seed bombs. We have one more school and one more afterschool program scheduled. We will also be providing this activity during two community events.
The seed bombs are made with three ingredients: air dry clay; potting soil; and a native seed mix specially blended for the Colville Reservation. The seed mix is comprised of native plants that naturally grow on the reservation and will attract pollinators. This will benefit the wild plants as well as the local agriculture crops by attracting pollinators to the area. The plan is, once the seed bombs are dry, we will take the students on a field trip out to a burn area, and they will distribute the seed bombs. The goal is to have the seed bombs grow plants to help regenerate and revitalize the Colville Reservation rangelands.
While we used a specialty seed mix, you could easily create the seed bombs using a wildflower mixture or even a vegetable seed mixture for edible plants or grass seed mixture for erosion control areas.
If you would like to create Seed Bombs, please visit this link https://youtu.be/rcF5V9FhNhY and view the short video. It contains easy- to-follow instructions on how to make seed bombs. This Seed Bomb project is a good companion project for the 4-H At Home Pollinators issue. To access this issue and some fun activities about pollinators, please visit https://4-h.org/about/4-h-at-home/pollinators/ You will find information and activities to enhance knowledge about pollinators. The activities include simple craft projects that can be made with easy-to-find items.
