shop online at www.missourivalleyshopper.com April 11, 2017 • Page 14 Become A Master Gardener By David Graper SDSU Extension Horticulture Specialist & Master Gardener Program Coordinator SDSU Extension hosts Master Gardener Training annually in several locations throughout the state of South Dakota. Master gardener training is an eight week course and is offered in three locations in 2017: Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, and Spearfish. Master gardener training consists of eight 8-hour in-person meetings. Training is provided by SDSU professors, SDSU Extension local horticulture experts & educators and is a combination of face-toface and online sessions. There are two training options: 1.Training with Volunteer Commitment (Most Popular) Training costs $190 with 50 hours of volunteer service “payback” during the first two years after training. 20 hours of service and 10 hours continuing education is required for each year thereafter to maintain Master Gardener Status. If initial 50 hours is not completed then the balance of the course fee will be charged. The cornerstone of the Extension Master Gardener Program nationwide is to serve our communities and advance knowledge to assist others in beautifying spaces, growing their own food, and advancing knowledge in horticulture/gardening. EMGs are a spirited group that enjoy club activities and service throughout the state. *Please note that participants must complete a Volunteer Work Agreement form and pass a background check to be eligible for this option. Master Gardeners engage in our communities with vulnerable populations and as such, must be background checked. Also, participants will be charged for the FULL class fee if 50 hours of service are not accomplished within two years after completion of the course. Participants successfully complete the course when they pass an open-book exam with a score of 80% or higher and complete service requirements. 2.Non-Volunteer Option – Horticulture Trainee Certification A non-volunteer service training option is available at a cost of $540. However upon completion, these participants will not be considered “Master Gardeners”. This is an option for those interested in learning the content, but not interested in community service. This does not allow one to use the Master Gardener title or to become a member of South Dakota Extension Master Gardeners. That title is held exclusively for Master Gardeners that actively serve our communities as SDSU Extension Master Gardener volunteers and regularly document their time. This is, however, a nice option for those employed with agencies that could benefit from horticulture knowledge or for those that want this knowledge but feel they cannot devote time to community service. The deadline for registration is May 1, 2017. - See more at: http:// igrow.org/gardens/mastergardeners/become-amaster-gardener/#sthash. IIbjNMIP.dpuf Meal Replacements: A Long-Term Solution For Healthy Weight Management? By Hope Kleine SDSU Extension Health Education Field Specialist Quick, effortless, and convenient are a few ways meal replacements have been described. Meal replacements have been utilized since 1994 and have become a popular choice for weight loss strategies. They are portion-controlled, vitamin and mineral fortified, and prepackaged, usually in the form of a bar or shake. The convenience meal replacements offer is appealing, but do they work for long-term weight management? Meal Replacements: Long-term shortcomings When compared to a traditional, reduced-calorie diet, meal replacements provide greater weight loss, averaging two times more weight lost over a three month period.1 While this may be enough evidence for you to incorporate meal replacements into your meal plan, take a look at long-term results. One year following meal replacement use, participants experienced weight regain as high as 40-50%.2-4 A key barrier that leads to weight regain has been identified as one’s inability to develop long-term, healthy behaviors such as incorporating healthy, whole foods into one’s diet, regular exercise, or weight monitoring. Slow, steady weight loss is more likely to last versus significant weight changes. If you lose weight too quickly, you can lose muscle, bone and water. Aim for a loss of no more than 1 to 2 pounds per week. You will be more likely to keep the pounds off and be successful maintaining your weight long-term. Remember, small changes can make a big impact in the long run. Long-term Weight Management Tips If you are looking for a healthy way to manage your weight, meal replacements may not be the most sustainable option. Instead, develop long-term, healthy behaviors that will support your weight management journey. Having trouble taking the first step? Consider these tips: Choose a behavior (or two!) to focus on. For example, incorporating physical activity breaks into your work day. • Step 1: Identify your barriers. The first step is selfawareness. What is it that you don’t enjoy about this behavior? What has been holding you back from adopting it in the past? Example: Maybe you have not taken physical activity breaks during your work day previously as it takes you away from work, or you are unsure what exercises you can do while at work. • Step 2: Actively seek solutions to your barriers. What small steps you can take to lead you toward the behavior needed to reach your goals? Example: Discuss the opportunity of walking breaks with coworkers whom you meet with regularly, and/or look up resources for exercises you can easily do with minimal equipment.
