Copyrights, Communication Exhibits, and the Fair When presenting an educational presentation, we expect that 4-H ers will explore a variety of sources to get correct information to the public. The 4-H er should be able to answer the judge s question, Where did you get your information? Responses should include the complete source such as: 4-H project material Celebrate Art, rather than just saying in 4-H materials. If you used other Extension publications, reference books or magazines, you should state the titles and issues if appropriate. It is not necessary that you have this printed out, just tell the judge and audience. When presenting a working exhibit, it is also important to give the sources of your information. Remember, if your directions were taken from a copyrighted magazine or book, you CANNOT duplicate the directions and distribute them. You may have purchased the magazine for your use, but that does not grant you permission to duplicate and distribute. `What is the best approach? 1. Make a poster with the directions and include the source of the directions. 2. If you modified the directions and want to provide a handout, give your directions and credit Adapted from... and state the original source. 3. If you did not modify directions, you can not distribute the directions to fairgoers without having copyright permission granted from the source. If permission is granted, that should be noted on the handout piece and the 4-H er brings the letter of permission with them to the fair. Remember to give credit where credit is due and you will have a more educational 4-H experience. Volunteering May Be Tax Deductible As a 4-H volunteer, you may be able to deduct some of your expenses on your federal tax return if you itemize deductions. Out-of-pocket expenses you may be able to deduct include mileage, parking fees and tolls, overnight lodging and meals, uni- forms, and supplies. You can't deduct the cost of your time, even if you lost pay for taking time off from your job in order to volunteer. For more specific information, contact your tax preparer.

FSQA Questions, Answers, and Dates Why FSQA? Iowa 4-H'er's produce over 17 million pounds of meat each year, which all goes into the American food supply. Consumers expect a safe, high quality food product. 4-H'ers need to know the food production rules and follow them exactly. What is FSQA? The Iowa 4-H Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) program focuses on seven Good Production Practices that help ensure the safety of the food you produce. When 4-H'ers meet the 4-H FSQA certification, they also meet the Beef Quality Assurance and Pork Quality Assurance certification. Who Needs FSQA? All youth (except third graders) exhibiting beef, swine, sheep, dairy, goats (dairy or meat), poultry, or rabbits at the Harrison County Fair and the Iowa State Fair. REMEMBER Third graders are exempt. How do I Certify for FSQA? 4-H'ers in grades 4-6 must attend a certification program every year to be FSQA certified 4-H'ers grades 7-9 can either attend a workshop every year, OR take a test which is good until they reach the 10th grade. 4-H'ers in grades 10-12 can either attend a workshop every year, OR take a test which is good until they turn 20. FSQA testing is based on grade, not age. When and Where do I Certify for FSQA? Trainings have been scheduled for Harrison County. You only need to attend one. Thurs., Mar. 19, 6 p.m. Harrison County Extension Office -or- Tuesday., Apr. 16, 6 p.m. Harrison County Extension Office We will provide a light lunch starting at 5:30 p.m. before class starts. What if I want to test out? Youth choosing to test out may do so after the ethics portion of the training session. You may also set up your own time to test at the Extension Office by calling the Extension Office at 712/644-2105. To study for the test, you may use the FSQA manual which is online at http:// www.extension.iastate.edu/4h/ projects/livestock/fsqa.htm You are only allowed to take the test 3 times in one day.
