Field trip grant benefits more than 1,600 Hoosier kids Students at 22 Indiana schools this academic year will learn about the outdoors thanks in part to a grant pro- gram that supports field trips to Indiana state parks and reservoirs. The Discovering the Out- doors Field Trip Grant Pro- gram is for public, private, parochial or home-school ed- ucators and is administered through the Indiana Natural Resources Foundation (IN- RF), the supporting non- profit of the Indiana Depart- ment of Natural Resources. The grants fund transpor- tation costs, program fees and classroom supplies re- lated to preparation or fol- low-up for the field trips. More than 1,600 K-12 stu- dents will benefit from the grant program in 2015 -16. The program expects to dis- tribute $5,476 through 25 grants. All valid applicants will receive funds this year. This is the third academic year that the grant program has been in effect. During the first year, the program awarded $4,411 through 19 grants to 16 schools, bene- fiting about 1,400 kids. "We are happy to see those numbers increase this year," said Ginger Murphy, deputy director for steward- ship for DNR State Parks. The fund was established in memory of Tom Huck, a long-time DNR employ- ee who was an ardent sup- porter of outdoor experienc- es for children, with finan- cial help from the Indiana Master Naturalist Adviso- ry Council, according to Bourke Patton, executive director of the INRF. "Donations are welcome from individuals, organiza- tions or businesses to help sustain this grant program in coming years," Patton said. To donate, visit IndianaN- RF.org. Becky Steinhart recognized for 40-years of service as a 4-H Leader By Andy Heuring Becky Steinhart lives and breathes 4-H. On Saturday she was honored at the Indi- ana State Fair on Volunteer Day for her 40 -years of ser- vice as a 4-H Leader. Steinhart has been the leader of the Lucky Clovers in the Velpen and Otwell ar- ea since 1975. "I just love working with little kids," said Steinhart. "It is very interesting, to show them things and then watch them do it. I always say they are having fund and learning and they don't realize it." Steinhart has been a lead- er for 40 years, but her 4- H experience goes ever farther back. "My mom and dad (Lee and Char- lotte Hulsey) had a club based in the Velpen area. That was in the day when 4-H was really up and going. Their club even had a soft- ball team. We would go ar- eas like Glezen and Hazel- ton and play softball games together." Steinhart was a 10 -year member in 4-H. She grad- uated from school and got married, then when she had kids she decided to become a leader in the footsteps of her parents. "I had five kids and all of them are still involved with 4-H." Saturday she and her en- tire family, about 15 peo- ple, traveled to Indianapo- lis where she was awarded for her 40 years of service. "The hard work and dedi- cation of 4-H volunteers sig- nificantly contribute to the success of the 4-H Devel- opment Program in Indi- ana. Although we feel cer- tain that viewing the accom- plishments of the young people with whom they have worked is rewarding to volunteers, we are also committed to recognizing them on this special day at the Indiana State Fair," said Dr. Renee McKee, State 4-H Program Leader. Steinhart was one of 588 people recognized at the meeting. Each year volun- teers from 60 years to 20 years are recognized in five-year increments. Even though she was one of 588 to be recognized she proudly said, "I had the big- gest cheering section. They sometimes try to embarrass me." "Basically we (Lucky Clo- vers) are more of a gener- al club. We do more of the crafts. We don't do ani- mals. If I have kids with an- imals, I direct them to lead- ers who work with animals to get more expertise," said Steinhart. "I believe in the 4-H program and I try to figure out ways to get other people interested in it. I just live 4-H. It upsets me some- times when I see the strug- gles our 4-H program has. I wonder what can I do to make it better." She said every year when she goes to the county and state fairs, she checks out the exhibits and tries to see areas that don't have much participation. She then starts trying to come up with ideas to feature those projects during the next year's meetings. Steinhart through the years has gone beyond be- ing a leader. She has been an officer with 4-H Coun- cil and pushed to get rides back at the fair. Her real love of 4-H is working with the younger kids. I just enjoy the young kids, they are a hoot. Not that I don't love teenagers. I have grandkids who are teenagers." She said she tries to use the teens to help work with the younger kids. "I think younger kids relate more to them than they do to me. It is just a fun time." Saturday she said she looked around at the volun- teers being honored for 60 years of service. "I thought, do I want to do that? Every now and then I think it is getting time to quit. But this year my granddaugh- ter and I have already start- ed working on projects for next year. So it's not going to be this year." She has new inspiration. She has a grandson get- ting married soon. "Yeah, I'm going to try to make it. I might have great-grand- kids in 4-H." She said it was her grand- son, Austin Hanebutt, who inspired her to continue a few years more. Now a stu- dent at Indiana University, when he was young he told his grandmother he would like to be in 4-H, "If she would stay in it with him." Now he is a former 10 -year member and she plans on being around to see her great-grandchildren in 4- H and help them with their projects and development as young leaders. Becky Steinhart receives a plaque honoring her 40 years as a 4-H Leader from Dr. Renee McKee, State 4-H Program at the Volunteer Day, Saturday at the Indiana State Fairgrounds.
