(Music begins)
JENNIFER: I don't think we have to worry about microphones now right?
KAPIL: Can you hear me?
DIANNE: I'm sorry. So what are we doing?
RACHEL: I was wondering if my if my scarf is in the way.
LEAH: Delete that - off record.
RACHEL: We are here Pocahontas County today.
You want me to look at you?
ABBIE: Do you have a slide rule that's just about pipe sizes?
LEAH: I'm moving back here actually because I
feel like my nose is going to drip.
(camera clicking)
RACHEL: What is a leading cause of dry skin.
A towel!
(Laughter)
(Knocking on door)
JENNIFER: Hi! Rachel! RACHEL: Hey Jennifer. Nice to meet you. JENNIFER: So nice to meet you.
RACHEL: How are you doing? JENNIFER: Great!
RACHEL: So we're going to be talking about
sheet pan meals. I don't know if you have seen them on pinterest. Love em!
Iowa State University Extension has had a
partnership with KCRGTV 9 out of Cedar
Rapids. I go on and talk about
a pertinent nutrition topic. We're gonna highlight
a Spend Smart Eat Smart recipe the easy roasted
veggies. And then we're going to add some fish to
that to make it a complete meal. JENNIFER: Well let's shop.
So how many programs do you do in a week? RACHEL: Like. That. Actually. Deliver
delivery. I would say typically I'm teaching one
and a half to two days a week. Most of my classes
involve some kind of certification component of
that. So I teach Serv Safe which is now required
for the certified food production manager. OK let's go.
So we've got green, red, yellow, orange bell
peppers, all good options. JENNIFER: And the more colorful the
vegetable the more healthy the plate right. RACHEL: Yes.
I like using the frozen fish just because it's a
little less costly and it also has... the pieces
already individually portion and then you can just
grab out what you need from the freezer in case you don't need the whole bag.
So the recipe is pretty easy,
it's just five cups of assorted vegetables. So I
guess typically what I like to do for a segment is
I'll make a batch of the recipe and then I can have it
to take a picture of to promo. JENNIFER: We've got a little over two cups.
RACHEL: There you go.
Those look great. JENNIFER: 145 - alright!
RACHEL: Look at all those yummy vegetables. JENNIFER: That actually looks kind of good because
it sort of brings out all the colors now. Thanks
for having me. Show me about your your day today
and the kinds of things that you do. And we're
looking forward to seeing you in Ames and see what
I do on the other side of the fence. RACHEL: I'm very
excited. A trip to Ames is always good. So thanks
for coming. KCRG HOST: And I keep telling myself I'm going to
do this and I rarely do this. RACHEL: It's so easy. It
only includes one or two dishes. Like you said we
just got a sheet pan here and it's a good way to
include multiple food groups so vegetables are
included fruits actually can also be a part of a
sheet paying meal and then protein as well.
LIZ: We're in West Des Moines City Hall going to go in
and meet Ross Wilburn.
ROSS: Hi Liz, how are you doing. LIZ: Good morning nice to see you again.
ROSS: Good to see you welcome to Navigating Difference.
LIZ: Thanks! Should be an interesting morning. ROSS: This
training has five modules and we're doing cultural
knowledge today module number three. So again I'm
Ross and welcome to navigating difference. If their
understanding is that some type of discrimination or
oppression has occurred. If that were to occur
where might be an example of prejudice or even what
might be a bias that you know an individual or an
organization might have. They're going to draw a
map or their neighborhood or the entire city. LIZ: OK.
ROSS: Maybe there's some advocates. LIZ: Sure. ROSS: Is there an
organization that LIZ: can tie into or ROSS: yeah yeah you
got it. OK exactly. LIZ: So is there a strong
connection between us and any of those or is it
more of a dotted line connection where there's
somewhat? ROSS: This activity I had them think about one
way that they individually have learned about a
culture different than own. It's to try and
encourage them to think of creative ways to go
learn about a particular community. Who is the
author of that one. You can set your cellphone
or your iPad or something and then it's just from
Iowa State. So I'll give it to you. Congratulations. PARTICIPANT: All
right. LIZ: So how does this training impact Iowans all
throughout the state? ROSS: Well in theory if we are
providing this diversity inclusion training for
organizations around the state and they are having
impact in the communities that they work in - then
I think it creates an overall sense of welcoming and
inclusion for a lot of different communities in
the state. Great, great energy today. And and again
the more you bring your experience experiences to
the table the more value I think there is out of
this. See you next time. Any questions about today
or.. LIZ: No, I thought it was really really interesting and I really enjoyed
it. I was not sure exactly what was going to
happen and so and the group I was with was so
welcoming and. It made it nice. ROSS: I look forward to
getting together in a couple of weeks. LIZ: Yeah. No,
I'm looking forward to it as well. Thank you.
RACHEL: We're in Pocahontas County today and I'm about to go
meet Dianne Dirk's and see what a day in her life
looks like. DIANNE: Good morning Rachel. How are you? RACHEL: Good.
Are you ready for me today. DIANNE: I'm ready for you
today. Today we're going to be doing offering the
confinement manure site applicators program.
So we'll get started. With all of these.
candies and we have notepads for manure management.
They have youth events back here. They have leader
trainings. Multiple times a week sometimes
three times a week. This room is what we call our
small meeting room. This is what we call our
marketing room. Or our storage area. This is where
we keep our folders kind of our extra supplies
this is our pens that we get five hundred at a
time. This is our little what we say marketing
corner. We are... really we do a lot of business have
a lot of clients that come in for these wonderful ISU athletics
posters. RACHEL: And then these and the calendars yes. So
you have a lot of people that come in for these
too? DIANNE: We have. In fact I take them up to the
courthouse to all of the offices up in the
courthouse.
Actually that was about a year ago. Actually we
split a gallon of paint between the three counties
really. We did. RACHEL: Wow. DIANNE: We do share resources. It's
one of the things between the counties it's you
know why reinvent the wheel. If we can all share.
They ask us that we do a deposit at least
once a week or each county has a set dollar amount
usually that it should be deposited by. RACHEL: Enter the receipt.
DIANNE: Right, and the receipt is there. And I always put the
account numbers right on the tickets. The bank is
right there a Pocohontas State Bank so that's where
we'll be taking this deposit to. All right. Well
thanks Jackie. Thank you. Have a good day - you too.
We're going to deliver the budget hearing proof of
publication to the Pocahontas County Auditor. Good
morning Kelly. This is Rachel Tendall and this is Kelly
Jepsen, Pocahontas County Auditor and we're
delivering you the proof of publication this morning of
our budget for Pocahontas County Extension and
Outreach. AUDITOR: Perfect. Thank you so much for coming.
I appreciate your coming and viewing and seeing
what I actually do here in Pocahontas County and
that I'll see you at the Capitol here in a couple of weeks.
RACHEL: All right. Thanks.
NICOLE: We're at the Hamilton County Extension Office where
they're going to be doing a Clover Kids workshop
today. Hi Leah.. LEAH: Good morning Nicole. OK. I haven't
read through this one so do you have any tips or
pointers. NICOLE: So they're going to be learning about
their heart which is perfect for Valentines Day
Look at you being creative. LEAH: Couldn't have worked out better. I always
make a powerpoint for my day camps because
otherwise I lose track of what is next. NICOLE: It's a
great idea. LEAH: I've got ten things that we're going
to work through today so I hope some of them
excite you. BOY: I hope they're not exercises. LEAH: Oh buddy. I got a story for you.
Because there's exercise.
(Music begins)
BOY: Have a good day.
BOY: Happy Valentines day
GIRL: Happy valentines day to you.
BOY: Happy valentines day. LEAH: Woo Hoo! Ok, let's run back.
LEAH: Then you can put it up a little bit higher on your leg.
LEAH: I like that little troll in the middle.
KIDS: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
NICOLE: So this is not something I've seen them do before.
I think it's a great idea that they have the power
point up. That's a great visual for the kids to have.
I am going to definitely ask Leah to send this to me.
LEAH: Hear your heart. There's our title page. What are
these bodies doing. KIDS: Moving around. LEAH: So you can hold
the tube and put it where you think I'm going to
best to her. So it'll be on your left side. And
then I can just lean in with my ear.
It doesn't look like a heart on Valentine's Day.
No your heart is a strong muscle. Amanda, what are
you, what do you think these love bugs do. But if you
just think right now the love bug needs to get from this
number one to that number five.
So this is a really cool hands-on way for them
to get to experience that coding. NICOLE: So today
Valentine's Day they're doing a heart themed lesson
but she she's also building in roller coasters
and going to talk about how that changes your
heart rate. So she's been really creative in a way
that I haven't seen other staff use the curriculum
yet. So thank you so much for having me come check
out what you do. I'm kind of jealous and I look
forward to seeing you on campus in a couple of
days so I can show you what we do at the state 4-H office.
LEAH: I still have like. Three hours.
ABBIE: We're in Sheffield Iowa this morning and Kapil Arora
and myself Abbie Gaffey are going to be kind
of seeing what we do for work at Iowa State
University Extension and Outreach. Hi Kapil I'm Abbie, nice to meet you.
KAPIL: Good morning Abbie. Good morning. Nice to meet
you too. It's a cold morning this morning. ABBIE: It is and I
understand that you're taking me to a farm this
morning. KAPIL: Yes. My title is Agricultural
Engineering Field Specialist. ABBIE: What kinds of things do
you normally do in like the course of your day. KAPIL: You
get involved with folks who are looking at doing different on
field conservation practices. When you see.
That you have actually helped somebody solve their problem, the satisfaction
that it brings with it that's something that keeps
me going. ABBIE: Ahh, me too.
KAPIL: Good morning sir. I'm doing fine. How are you
doing. So I went down and I started drawing where
I think kind of the boundaries of what what kind
of drains down to this corner over here. Some of the
soils that we have in Iowa they hold water pretty
well. And they actually need an artificial
drainage point so that the excess water can get
out.
(Music begins - Drone flying sounds)
This draw is one that is from the fence back there
and we really are standing right here. All the way at this end.
That that's what you were talking about when
you're bringing a six inch up here. You're just
looking at draining that corner, the northwest corner.
ABBIE: Do you have a slide rule that's just about pipe
sizes. KAPIL: Yes. ABBIE: That might be the nerdiest thing I see
all day. KAPIL: NO! this is this is this is not nerdy
the number of questions he has this is the quickest
way to answer. You understand this
thing right? Nerds feed the world. ABBIE: NERDS FEED THE WORLD!
KAPIL: Now you are a communities field specialist? ABBIE: Yeah, I do community economic development.
The audience I typically work with is elected officials.
People who are the mayor of their town, or the economic development director, the chamber of commerce...
Today I'm showing them the market the brochure that we're
using to market our Marketing Hometown America.
MAYOR: Hi I'm Scott Sanders. ABBIE: Hi Scott Sanders, I'm Abbie Gaffey from Extension.
It kind of talks a little bit
about...whether your community is ready for this
kind of a process. Stopping the drain of
population, looking at whether you have businesses
that need to be going to a new owner for instance
MAYOR: 100 years ago we had 1100 people living here. Today we have manufacturing out here with over 600
employees here and we have 1171 people living here.
In the last nine years we've built three new
houses. ABBIE: This sounds like a really good time then.
People are kind of at the point where they're kind
of tired of having the expert at the front of the
room telling them that you need to do this this
and that. This kind of leads them through a
process where they come to those conclusions on
their own. KAPIL: People going through this training are...
the decision makers in the community or
the City Council? ABBIE: No, no I think you have to be
more broad based on who you target. Nice to meet you.
Thank you for coming and meeting with us and
we'll talk to you next week. KAPIL: I didn't know
what all got into programming especially for
developing countries. That was good information.
ABBIE: I so much enjoy going out and seeing that drone and
how it works and what that means for that farmer.
(Music begins)
ROSS: Today I'm going to Mackay Hall to learn more about
answer line from Liz.
(Knocking on door)
(Door opening)
ROSS: Hi Liz. LIZ: Hi Ross, welcome to answerline - come on in.
We log all our calls. We just put some sort of a
reminder about what the call was like and then we
have all these different categories, food and
nutrition, food safety, food preservation. We
eventually log these into a database on the
computer because we answer calls for Iowa
Minnesota and South Dakota. ROSS: So how long has the
answerline been in existence is it about 35- 40
years? LIZ: Something like 42 years. ROSS: For persons that
have a hearing impairment or are deaf. Do you have
T.T.Y. so that they can call and
communicate. LIZ: Yes we've had that for many many
years. We have other people that call us on a
regular basis. Some that have challenges like
they've had a brain injury so they seriously can't
remember stuff that you might take for granted. So
we're always really happy to say OK you got this
from the food pantry and this is what you want to
do with it. And we have a new email. If you would
write 223 and each ask an expert has a number. Families
Extension answer line how may I help you.
Well you're welcome. Call us again anytime. And I hope
you enjoy your company. OK. Bye.
IAbout the nicest people in the world. ROSS: It's amazing
the additional stories that come out when people
are having a connection because you're the person
in trying to help and you're trying to
preven... LIZ: You're not going to get all that from a FAQ.
ROSS: Thank you so much Liz I really learned a lot about
what answerline is all about and just the range of
information but also the connection that you have
with you know I was going to say with Iowans but
people a couple other states. LIZ: It's a really
fabulous job that we all really enjoy because how
often you get to help really nice people with
problems and questions. ROSS: Well mainly I know instead of trying
to answer the question myself when they get those
random calls and I can say contact answerline. LIZ: Call answerline
we're always happy to help.
(Music begins)
LEAH: I'm at the Extension 4-H Youth building and getting ready to see Nicole.
Ready? CAMERA OP: Yes. LEAH: OK let's go. I feel like we're
getting close. Do you feel like we're getting
close? Marco? NICOLE: Polo. Welcome to the state 4-H office. LEAH: You get a nice view. NICOLE: I do
have an awesome view. LEAH: You know I'm really jealous. NICOLE: So you
know Mitch. LEAH: Yeah NICOLE: I get the cube next to Mitch
and Brenda Allen is on the other side of me so... LEAH: If
you have any logistical questions you just holler
them out. NICOLE: Yeah. LEAH: Is there something like easy for me
to leave with a potential partner? NICOLE: If you are
wanting to hand them your business card?
It's got the same information. LEAH: I've seen
this one and the extension form but I've never
seen it in clover kids. NICOLE: So I think it should be on
my extension in the clover kid's template section.
The clover kids team is constantly vetting
existing curriculum so we're doing that. Maybe
we're looking at one or two a month but then the
development takes longer. LEAH: Would it be something
that we could have these all or even just take homes
available in... NICOLE: Word? LEAH: Well, translated. I've got the
little 4-H pledge on a bookmark and one
side has English one it has Spanish so I don't
have to like assume who needs which one. I just
hand everybody the same one. So that could be
something on the take homes. NICOLE: This is what an
actual lesson looks like. We wanted to make it
really easy. The first page a volunteer can look
at a glance and see OK this is the big idea that
kids are learning about and Boom-Boom and these
are the five things we're doing today. We
definitely need each other. LEAH: Absolutely. NICOLE: To make our
jobs work. LEAH: And I'm glad that you get to do all of
the hard behind the scenes stuff so I can do the
fun so I can do the fun on the ground stuff.
That felt natural. CAMERA OP: That's definitely more awesome than I expected.
(Music begins)
RACHEL: Hi I'm Rachel and we're here and Ames at the Scheman
building for the 62 annual Shade Tree
Clinic. Hi Jennifer. Good to see you again. JENNIFER: Great to see you.
Welcometo Scheman and Shade Tree course. RACHEL: We've got quite a
crowd today. JENNIFER: Yeah were close to 800. It's sort of
an orchestra everybody sort of has their job to
make it all happen. We're going to do the loop.
And check out all of the breakout rooms. RACHEL: OK JENNIFER: Since we've
got about 15 minutes before they start. RACHEL: You guys
probably could have a watch like tattooed on your arm with
how much you look at that time. JENNIFER: Hey. Anthony.
Jennifer Vit - ANTHONY: Oh hey JENNIFER: Good to meet you. Well if
you need something we're right downstairs at the
reg desk. If something goes wrong don't hesitate to
ask or you have my cell phone too. Obviously we
take care of all the marketing. So for this
particular one there is a program that we put out
that gets mailed to all past participants. RACHEL: OK. JENNIFER: And
then we create a Web site so that people can go to
the Web site get information register online. RACHEL: Do
you have speakers presenting the same session multiple times? JENNIFER: We do. Yeah. So a lot
of them to repeat if we anticipate that it will be
a hot topic. And then also for this conference
people sign up for their session prior to when
they register. So we know exactly. How many people
are interested in a particular session based on
the registration numbers and then that's how we
make their assignments. RACHEL: I see JENNIFER: The one thing that I
don't do is I don't do content but what we do is
we help those experts to be able to outreach
because they don't know how to plan events. RACHEL: Yes
JENNIFER: They don't know how to feed 700 people in a
facility like this. So they use us to be able to
do that part so they can concentrate on the
content. Let's go downstairs and register some
individual. RACHEL: Sounds good. You're my first person
I've checked in to be on it. Enjoy the conference
here you go. There you go. JEFF: Jennifer Vit's great. She
keeps me out of trouble every year. She knows how to
run a conference. RACHEL: How does you and Jennifer's roles
intersect? JEFF: This is my conference. RACHEL: OK JEFF: But I depend on
conference services to help me run it , it's just too big.
JENNIFER: Being able to figure out what what they need.
Certainly, what they want and where they fall on
the spectrum in order for me to do my job I really
have to understand the full circle of what they
need and want.
(Music begins)
DIANNE: We are here at the Capitol ready to go meet Rachel.
Let's go. RACHEL: How are you? DIANNE: Good, good to see you again. RACHEL: Are you
excited.DIANNE: I am! RACHEL: What we're going to do is kind of
just center it. There we go. So our counties can
check these out. We actually have a popup that counties can use
for like 100 years events. JACY: So what we're here to do
today is help thank them of course for the legislative
support that they give to Iowa State Extension and Outreach.
communicate the value of that support and the
return on investment through all of our impact and
programs that we do across the state. We've got our data
for decision makers reports.
And these were delivered mailboxes last week. This
is an economic development publication hot off the
press. There is a area that showcases all the
different ways that you can engage with our state
in regards to economic development. This is the condensed
version of our annual report for 2017 with some of
those impacts that we'd like to share with them.
This is just some brief talking points about 4-H.
And then this is a new off the press annual report for our
local foods program. They love getting these bags. They put it all in and
of course at the same time we're visible. RACHEL: The
photos I take are usually ending up on Smugmug.
And they're going to be able for county offices to
be able to use for resources flyer's materials like
that. I use them for marketing materials and
promotional items as well when I'm doing design work.
And then we also sometimes use them for social
media.
That is good. So if we were to go and use that.
This would be a good shot for me to use if I
wanted to put copy here text here. Over some sort
of social media post or if I want to do it for a
flyer. That's a great shot. Don't be afraid to put
yourself in a situations where you have to
kind of wedge into a table or get in someone's
comfort zone a little bit.
If you free hand it the whole time it is very heavy.
You see how close we can get?
DIANNE: Hello, would you like a bag? You're welcome. Would you like a bag, you're welcome. Hi John. I'm
great how about you John. JOHN: Good. DIANNE: This is right now
what our impact is of 4-H and it's improving
college and career readiness. Would you like a bag?
You're Welcome. RACHE: It was good seeing you. DIANNE: Good to see you too. RACHEL: Thank you
for coming today and taking part in this and I hope you had a
good time. DIANNE: It was a fabulous day. Thank you for
including me. Good to see you.
