CHS FFA member earns wildlife prociency award

Connor Kern of the Central
High FFA Chapter earned thirdplace honors in the 2015 Oklahoma FFA Wildlife Production and
Management Prociency Award
area during the 89th Oklahoma
FFA Convention on April 29.
Kerns supervised agricultural
experience includes a vertically
integrated business in which he
raises quail from the eggs and
then markets to his customer
base. Through his business, Kern
received his Oklahoma State
Game Bird Breeders license.
Kern tends to the breeding
stock and collects eggs daily. He
partners with another business to
incubate his eggs. He then brings
the quail back to his house where
they are separated based on size
and age until they are ight ready.
Kern then is responsible for advertising and selling his quail.
In my opinion, my SAE is
very unique, and it requires me to
have many roles, responsibilities,
and management decisions when
tending to or selling my quail,
Kern said. When the quail rst
started to hatch, I learned you
couldnt always be successful.
The wildlife production and
management prociency award
is designed to recognize students
who are involved in a supervised
agricultural experience to improve the availability of sh and
wildlife through practices such as

teachers, principals, superintendents and administrators have

Three ways to improve your

health this summer season

For the health conscious, theres no such thing as a summer vacation from making good nutritional choices and getting plenty of
exercise. But theres no reason to let a healthy lifestyle become
boring.
Here are three ways to let the summer season guide your routine:
Mix Up Movement: After months of indoor exercise, you
may be ready for a change of scenery. And summer is the ideal
time to take a break from the treadmill and incorporate different
types of movement and exercise into your lifestyle. So ditch the
gym this weekend and head for greener pastures. From row boating
to hiking, youll nd yourself activating different muscles than you
normally would by mixing things up.
Eat In-Season Produce: Take advantage of the summer harvest and plan meals around in-season produce. The USDA lists
apples, beets, bell peppers, kiwifruit, carrots, garlic, peaches, okra
and cherries, amongst many more fruits and vegetables that reach
their peak in the summer months. These items are a chock full of
vitamins and nutrients and taste their best in summer.
Summer Sun: Beyond the Vitamin D factor, a study published
in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology shows that sunlight
may lower blood pressure, which could reduce ones risk for heart
attack and stroke. Some researchers now say the benets of sunlight could outweigh cancer risks associated with exposure. Dont
forget to take the usual precautions, however. Wear sunglasses,
sunscreen and a wide brimmed hat to protect against harmful UV
radiation. (StatePoint)
