TEHAMACOUNTY CONTRIBUTED Tehama County Beef Ambassadors Emyli Palmer and Joshua Kramer display their leather banners. TheTehamaCountycat- tle industry has selected two Beef Ambassadors for 2017, picked at a con- test staged by the Tehama County CattleWomen on March 26 at the Tehama County Farm Bureau office. Senior Beef Ambassador is Joshua Kramer, 18, who is serving his first year as a Beef Ambassador. Emyli Palmer will serve her third year as Junior Beef Ambas- sador. Also competing was Cheyenne Pilger. The ambassadors will be the youth spokesper- sons for the local cattle in- dustry throughout the next year. They will be available to speak to schools, clubs and other organizations and will represent the in- dustry at numerous cattle related events. Kramer, the son of Dennis and Ronda Kramer, is a senior at Los Molinos High School where he is a member of FFA and serves as a lieutenant for the Butte County Fire Ex- plorers. He has worked in the prunes at Sycamore Ranch and currently works for Flint Rock Cattle Com- pany. His favorite beef rec- ipe is chicken fried steak. Emyli Palmer, 16, is a junior at Red Bluff High School where she is a mem- ber of FFA. Palmer, who is the daughter of Clint and Jeana Palmer of Gerber, says beef is her passion and she feels it is important to share the producer's story with the public. She has grown up with horses and beef cattle and held numer- ous offices in the El Camino 4-H club. Palmer likes to make beef tacos the way her mother taught her. During the public part of the contest, contestants an- swered questions from Cat- tleWomen members Linda Borror and Barbara Secor who played the role of con- sumers. Each contestant answered questions about the Farm to Fork process. They gave safety tips about preparing beef and talked about the positive health benefits of eating beef. They described the differ- ences between grass fed beef and natural beef and told why they prefer beef to chicken. They also de- scribed why cattle are good for the environment. They also discussed the impact of the recent fires in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas on the cattle industry. Judging the event were Sarah Deforest who is a past California beef am- bassador, Danielle Han- sen, an intern at the Te- hama County Farm Bureau and Cattlewomen mem- ber Tammy Chrisler. Each judge received a gift tote from Kari Dodd who is chairwoman for the Beef Ambassador Project. The ambassadors will travel to Bakersfield on April 28 and 29 to compete at the California Beef Ambassa- dor contest. Dodd was pre- sented a bouquet of flow- ers by the outgoing am- bassadors who expressed appreciation to her, their parents and Cattlewomen members for the support they received during the past year. Each ambassa- dor received a monetary reward for her hard work. Outgoing Senior Beef Ambassador is Danielle Mueller who served as a Beef Ambassador for four years. Emyli Palmer, Kayla McGiffin and Emma Pe- terson teamed up as Ju- nior Beef Ambassadors. In addition to their reg- ular duties, the four am- bassadors started beef clinics to teach 4-H and FFA members how to pre- pare an animal for the fair. They solicited finan- cial sponsors and received help from outstanding fit- ters to teach fair prepara- tion techniques. BeefAmbassadorsselectedfor2017 April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month, a time to acknowledge the importance of families and communities working to- gether to prevent child abuse and neglect. The Tehama County Child Abuse Prevention Council believes the future of the county will be shaped by its children. Over the last five years, six children have lost their lives from neglect or child abuse in Tehama County. One of the primary cam- paign goals of Child Abuse Prevention Month is to increase education and awareness of child abuse and promote the social and emotional well-being of children and families in the county. Some of the activities the council has planned for the month are decorat- ing trees on Main Street in Red Bluff and Solano Ave- nue in Corning with blue ribbons, honoring the first and last baby born during the month at St. Elizabeth Community Hospital with a gift basket, a float in the Red Bluff Round-Up parade and a booth at the 31st an- nual Tehama County Chil- dren's Fair. During April and throughout the year, res- idents are being asked to keep children safe by know- ing the potential signs of abuse and neglect, learn- ing the facts about child abuse and taking action when they see potential signs, talking to family and friends about protect- ing children from abuse, looking for ways to aid and support families in the com- munity and committing to wearing blue on April 7. Check out our Tehama County Child Abuse Pre- vention Council's Facebook page for more information.
