People probably won’t be concerned until they have no food. Then they’ll ask, “What happened to the farmer? Farmers are a spe cial breed because they just keep going.” Elizabeth believes that people cannot realize the magnitude of work required to farm unless one lives on a Cum. Few dairy farms exist in the Cocalico School District, and, Eli zabeth said that classmates often made derogatory comments about the smelly and practices of farm ing. But she was greatly encour aged by her biology teacher. He had grown up on the farm and his sister. Becky Sonnen, had been a state dairy princess. Eli zabeth was thrilled to meet Becky, who now works for Middle Atlan tic Milk Marketing Association and serves as the dairy princess coordinator in Lancaster County. Elizabeth said, “I consider her my mentor. I’d love to have a job like Becky and promote the dairy industry.” One of Elizabeth’s responsibili ties is to visit schools and teach them the importance of including dairy products in a healthy diet and to look for the real seal to differen tiate between dairy products and look-alikes. “I think it’s important to grab the attention of children while they are still young,” she said. Elizabeth is well-qualified to represent the dairy industry. Milk has always been her drink by choice.

The whole Smith family is involved in 4-H. After moving from New Jersey where the parents were 4-H leaders, they started the Cows R Us 4-H Club and continue to serve as 4-H leaders. The family participates in county, district, and state dairy show competitions. Generally Elizabeth and her brothers each show three animals at each show; but last year, she showed five. Elizabeth shows Brown Swiss and her brothers show Guernseys. Elizabeth and her siblings have boxes of ribbons and trophies from competition. Most exciting over the years has been showing the grand champion Brown Swiss at the state level, and the grand champion of junior-owned Brown Swiss at the All American, and receiving the National Junior Bell Ringer award, based on points accumulated over the show season. “We have our own cattle trailer, and take off in the afternoon and stay overnight so that we’re there the next morning for the show.” Elizabeth said of the All American Show. This is Elizabeth’s last year to show for 4-H, but she can still show at the national level. “I love showing and will always help with shows,” she said. “It is important to remain alert in the show ring. A cow may walk fine one day, and the next rear up.” Elizabeth said that her family became interested in the Guernsey C LAIM YOUR BAKGAirS PPfJPJ SET OF 6 SOUP MUGS I 31 k v 31 31 $5O Retail Value With Basset oi Serla bedding putthase only We Absolutely Have the Best Prices on Bedding BASSETT MATTRESS & BOX SPRING Mn i ill. i< .p ■>t ih 11ii< I'. ,Miif Hi'l on. <Mi. t.. i,|, ,1 ilmi ■>, ~,ii in i |. |lm , lit 1 11 -■, 11 ii. , ,ni. ,11 it i- -11 in. 1,1 ■ , i.(it t,l Hi Mn i i .I) 1 1 1.

Although Brown Swiss are loving, they are often stubborn and pushy when young she said. Guernseys are very sweet and cooperative and just die right breed for Brian who has Down's Syndrome. Elizabeth credits Brian with having a huge impact on her life. She was three years-old when he was bom. “We don’t use the word ‘retard.’ It isn’t a word that should be used to describe anyone,” she said in regards to the defense she encoun ters with other school children. “Brian is the most caring, affec tionate brother. He has a better grasp on life than most people. He never complains, no matter what—and that challenges me,” she said. Friendly and outgoing, Brian functions at a high level of achievement, no doubt because his family is so encouraging of his endeavors. Throughout his schooling, the family has, at times, switched him to other districts so that he would not be pushed aside. This past year, Elizabeth was Brian’s ‘date’ for his school prom, “but he ditched me for another girl at the prom,’’ she teased him.

It isn’t that her parents haven’t been strict. One rule is that the teens must be 18 years old to apply for a driver’s license. Elizabeth did not consider this request unfair. “My parents drove me wherever I needed to be. And, with the work on the Arm, we have plenty to do.” Elizabeth said that she grew up often preferring the company of adults to her own peers. She has always spent time developing rela tionships with teachers and now with professors at college. She served as a peer mediator for four years during high schooling, stu dent library assistant, chorus, and had a major singing role in the school musical. At church, Elizabeth serves as an altar server. The family’s love of animals is evident by the four dogs and two cats that are house broken. “We also have 30 too many Muscovy ducks,” Elizabeth said of BREAKING MILK RECORDS! & ,pC i&Ws* Independent Distributor TM NEW HIGH „ A// . $l.OO-A-Day * s Melt Fat Away P/«s One Feel Great!
