On April 10, 2008 the NYS Department of Agriculture and Markets announced recipients of their funding to enhance agricultural tourism.  CCE Onondaga County in conjunction with the Onondaga County Vegetable Growers Association was awarded $10,200 to create a Turnpike Market Trail.  The goal of the project is to build awareness of the diversity of local foods available in Onondaga County and provide 450,000 local residents with a ‘tourist’ experience as they drive the trail, visit local farm markets, purchase product, see local historic sites related to agriculture and dine at various restaurants that serve local farm products.  The trail will be a web-based marketing brochure and rack cards.  To see the press release… <a href="http://www.agmkt.state.ny.us/AD/release.asp?ReleaseID=1698">more>>></a></p>

<p><font color=green><b>PURPOSE</b></font> <br />
The purpose of the Cornell Cooperative Extension 4-H Youth Development System is to enable youth to develop knowledge, skills, abilities, attitudes, and behaviors to be competent, caring adults.</p>

<p><font color=green><b>MEMBERSHIP</b></font> <br />
4-H is available to all youth, ages 8-19, regardless of gender, race, color, national origin, religion, disability, sexual orientation or marital statues may join 4-H. Adult volunteer leaders come from all walks of life. They serve on boards of directors, and advisory committees in addition to carrying out their responsibilities as club leaders, special interest group instructors, etc. More information on Enrollment <a href="http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/onondaga//4h_youth_enrollment.php">Click Here</a>.</p>

<p><font color=green><b>FOUNDED:</b></font> <br />
Congress passed the Smith Lever Act in 1914. This provided for a National Cooperative Extension Service giving each state a land grant university.  Cornell University is New York State's land grant university.  Under it, the "boys" and "girls" "club work" became 4-H.</p>

<p><font color=green><b>WORLD SCOPE:</b></font> <br />
4-H is international, with more than 80 countries having 4-H or organizations modeled after 4-H programs. 4-H and its counterpart programs have sought to promote international understanding and a feeling of "oneness" among people globally. 4-H is a world leader in developing youth to become productive citizens and catalysts for positive change to meet the needs of a diverse and changing society.  4-H Clubs are also on US Military bases throughout the world.<br />

What is fun, brings family members together around the table, builds cooking skills, encourages communication and ends in celebrating with a healthy meal each week? This would be the new CCE Family Nutrition program – <em><b>Cooking Together for Family Meals.</b></em> <table width=25% border=0 align=right><tr><td><img alt="N 2.JPG" src="http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/onondaga/N%202.JPG" width="166" height="300" align="right" hspace="7" vspace="7"/></td></tr><tr><td><img alt="N 1.JPG" src="http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/onondaga/N%201.JPG" width="166" height="259" align="right" hspace="7" vspace="7"/></td></tr></table>This six- session, 2 hours/class cooking program has helped family members in Onondaga County gain skills and confidence to prepare vegetable-based meals from scratch – ones that kids actually eat and enjoy. Families learn how to prepare quick and healthy meals; prepare and sample recipes that focus on vegetables that great taste and good for you too; share cooking skills with their kids; modify recipes and make healthy food choices as a family. </p>

<p><strong><em>Cooking Together for Family Meals </em></strong>is a 3-year pilot program awarded to CCE counties in the Finger Lakes Region. Research suggests that eating family meals may enhance the health and wellbeing of adolescents and that involvement in preparing food for dinner is related to more nutrient-rich eating patterns in youth.  Our budding chefs featured 7-12 year olds from Ed Smith and Lemoyne elementary schools with moms, dads, aunts or grandmothers from each family working side-by side with their children, donning aprons, sharpening their chef knives and selecting fresh produce to prepare quick and healthy meals each week, sharing their culinary creations with the other families enrolled.</p>

<p>Participant satisfaction surveys indicated that: 1) all participants enjoyed the program with increased cooking skills for parents and kids alike; 2) parents recognized that their children were now more competent in the kitchen; 3) recipes were very well received with all families making 2 or more CTFM recipes at home as a family; 4) family communication around meal planning and thinking about adding more and different vegetables had increased; 4) families increased confidence in ability to modify recipes given both in the CTFM series as well as at home; and 5) families showed strong support for continuing the program with suggestions for extending the program length.</p>

<p>CCE educators from Cayuga, Onondaga and Tompkins County led by Cornell faculty have been invited to share this innovative pilot program at the annual meeting for the Society for Nutrition Education in Atlanta this summer. A collaborative session titled: <em><strong>Celebrating Family Food Decision-making: Collaborations for Change </strong></em>is currently being developed. Visit our website for more details and continuing developments in the Cooking Together program.

<table border="0" bgcolor="#C3FDB8" align="center" width=45%><tr><td><font size="2">The best recipes start with quality, fresh ingredients prepared to bring out the most taste and flavor while preserving the nutrient value of the dish. The result is a dish that nourishes and satisfies.<br />
 <br />
The same holds true for learning. We need to combine the right “ingredients” to produce the best learning environment where participants feel safe and supported in comfortable surroundings.  An environment where learners can choose if and when to participate, feel accepted by others and consider how the information being shared can be incorporated into his or her current lifestyle and behavioral practices. We bring our interactive nutrition and cooking programs to community centers, schools, churches and workforce centers to meet the needs of those who wish to engage with others in learning.</p>

<p> During 2007, new partners helped us to facilitate our healthy eating and cooking program series to over 250 adults and 500 youth. Our new cooperators included: The Salvation Army, Y.W.C.A., JOBSplus!, “Bridge to Success”, Syracuse City Parks & Recreation and others. We continue to form new collaborations with longtime partners—The Department of Social Services, Genesis Health Advocates, The Kidney Foundation of CNY, Huntington Family Center, OCM-BOCES, P.E.A.C.E., Inc. and our City and County School Districts. They  value CCE’s role in facilitating  our healthy living skills  programs as part of family support services, workforce development, health promotion , senior living and after school programs across the county. </p>

CCE Onondaga Co. worked with residents and business owners in the Town of Fabius to host a series of meetings on <b>Renewable Energy</b>.  Following these meetings a steering committee was formed which resulted in the desire to complete a town-wide comprehensive plan for energy production and use within the town.  Current efforts are to secure funding to create the comprehensive plan.  CCE Onondaga County is also a member of the Renewable Energy, Energy Conservation (REEC) program work team (PWT) at Cornell University.  The REEC PWT is a collaboration of industry, policy and Cornell University researchers.  </p>

<p><b>Renewable Energy Initiatives – Town of Fabius</b><br />
Local interest in renewable energy technology created a series of informational meetings in Fabius in early 2007.  The speakers presented an array of ideas and existing projects that stimulated much discussion on local possibilities.  The Fabius Town Board approved the formation of the Fabius Energy Steering Committee whose task was to see if a comprehensive energy plan could be developed that would aid residents, businesses, schools, and government.  The process to devise the concept of a comprehensive energy plan included…<a href="http://counties.cce.cornell.edu/onondaga/Fabius%20Town%20Board%20Concept%20Proposal%20Apr%2007.pdf">more>></a></p>

<p>The goal of the Fabius Energy Plan is to implement sustainable initiatives and encourage investment in local renewable energy production within the town to reduce energy costs, utilize local natural resources, allow business opportunities, and reduce dependence on outside energy sources. This plan would involve an analysis of current energy consumption, production and delivery systems within the town and explore ways in which local renewable energy resources could be developed and integrated in local consumption patterns.</p>
