HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PARKINSON’S JOINT REPLACEMENT?REHAB CLINIC Villa Georgetown has five LSVT certified therapists bringing a unique benefit for Parkinson’s patients. Our LSVT certified clinicians provide Parkinson’s treatment that is not available at any other health care facility within a 75 mile radius.

Both LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD are based on the principles of an intensive amplitude-based exercise program for the motor system. LSVT BIG focuses on body movements. The goal of the program is to teach individuals with Parkinson’s disease to use bigger movements automatically in everyday living with long-term carryover. LSVT LOUD enhances voice output. It focuses on loudness and respiration for speaking with increased motor control to improve speech intelligibility.

Contact our rehab manager at 937.378.4178 to find out more about Parkinson’s Therapy treatment at the Villa Georgetown Nursing & Rehabilitation Center.

DEPARTMENT NO. 3 Cake & Pie Auctions Last year’s auctions were sponsored by Ohio Valley Federal Credit Union and Grant’s Farm & Greenhouses.

The Dept. 3 Chair & staff wishes to acknowledge and thank all who participated last year. Part of this money went back to the exhibitors who baked the cakes and pies, part to a scholarship (see below) and the remainder was used by the fair board for capital improvements as well as subsidizing the 4-H and FFA Junior Fair activities.

SPECIAL SCHOLARSHIP – From the proceeds of the auctions, a $500.00 scholarship is offered each year to a Jr. Fair Exhibitor who graduated that year and who will be attending college in the fall, majoring in a culinary, nutrition, dietary, or other related field of study. The scholarship is named in honor of Ceil Bee, a long time worker and supporter of not only the Bakery and Pantry Department but of many activities sponsored by the Board. In 2013, the scholarship was awarded to Gloria Martin who is attending Clermont College.

As in past years, the Cake Auction will be Tuesday night at 6:00 p.m. in the Multi Purpose Building and the Pie Auction on Thursday night, same time, same place. Your support of these auctions is appreciated.

WHAT’S NEW FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITION IN 2014

by Tony M. Forshey, DVM, Ohio Department of Agriculture The Ohio Livestock Show Reform Act authorizes the Director of Agriculture to adopt mandatory and optional rules. Mandatory rules apply to all livestock shows, while the sponsor has the option to opt out of the optional rules on an individual rule basis. If a sponsor decides not to opt out of an optional rule, the rule then becomes mandatory. The following is a clarification of how the statute (Ohio Revised Code) and rules (Ohio Administrative Code) are to be interpreted and applied at all terminal, partial terminal and non-terminal livestock exhibitions in Ohio: 1. Livestock is inclusive of all species, except equine; 2. Livestock exhibitions include all county and independent fairs, the Ohio State Fair and all preview and jackpot shows; 3. A sponsor is any entity who conducts an exhibition including preview and jackpot shows; 4. The sponsor may opt out of any or all of the optional rules at least 30 days prior to the opening (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Division of Animal Industry, 8995 East Main Street, Reynoldsburg, Oh. 43068); 5. Effective February 13, 2004, exhibitors shall annually attend or complete a quality assurance program before exhibiting terminal or partial terminal market livestock, or at the option of Ohio State University Extension, annually pass a test administered by or under the supervision of Ohio State University Extension.

6. Effective February 19, 2007, OAC 901-19-07, exhibitors may pass a test based on age and skill level to be exempt from quality assurance re-certification. This exemption is at the discretion of OSU Extension or Ohio agricultural education.

7. Swine being sent to a licensed livestock facility or going out of state for slaughter or commingled with out of state swine must be identified with an official eartag or four digit tattoo.

8. The department does not require Certificates of Veterinary Inspection for exhibition livestock originating in Ohio including swine. However, an exhibition sponsor can choose to require additional regulations above those of the department.

9. Ohio obtained Stage 5 pseudorabies status on January 1, 2001. Pseudorabies testing is no longer required for Ohio swine to be exhibited. October 2004 - all states achieved Stage 5 status.

10. Effective February 15, 2003, the optional rule, OAC 901-1933 (D), prohibits the slick clipping or body shaving of market hogs except on the ears and tails. The word Aunderline@ has been removed from this rule; 11. Effective February 15, 2003, OAC 901-19-02 (II) Aslick clipping@ or Abody shaving@ means having hair that is less than one half inch in length on the body of market hogs; 12. Even if the sponsor opts out of one or more of the optional tampering rules, the statute prohibits the use of any material, gas, solid, or liquid, that conceals, transforms or enhances the true confirmation or configuration of all livestock, including by way of example but not limited to rope, false hair, graphite, and hemp; 13. For breeding classes the rules of the breed association will constitute acceptable grooming practices; 14. Effective May 31, 2001, an acceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-12 (Q), only permits drenching of lambs for a medical condition at an exhibition when diagnosed by a licensed veteri-

narian and an unacceptable practices rule, OAC 901-19-13 (H), drenching of lambs at an exhibition is prohibited except as permitted under paragraph (Q) of rule 901-19-12 of the Administrative Code.

15. Effective February 13, 2004, OAC 901-19-38 (C), accessory reproductive tissue was removed from the false, deceptive or unacceptable practices rule.

16. Effective February 12, 2007, identification requirements for sheep and goats were added to OAC 901:1-18-07 and OAC 901:1-18-09.

17. The Exhibition Livestock Health Rules apply to any exhibition over 36 hours in duration or has livestock whose origin is not Ohio and that exhibition must have an approved veterinarian (a form will be provided and must be returned to the Ohio Department of Agriculture at least 20 days prior to the opening date); 18. Junior market livestock shows at county and independent fairs and the Ohio State Fair are defined as either terminal or partial terminal shows: a. partial means that at least the grand and reserve grand champion animals are required to go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only, b. terminal means all market livestock go to slaughter or directly to a licensed livestock facility for slaughter only; 19. Preview and jackpot shows, as well as breeding classes are non-terminal shows; 20. At all terminal, partial terminal and non-terminal shows urine and hair samples may be collected; 21. A Drug Use Notification Form (DUNF) will be required to be completed for all livestock for which a test sample is collected; 22. OAC 901-19-06 (D) the Director of Agriculture shall require a DUNF be completed for livestock including market steer, market hog, market lamb, veal calf, market dairy steer, market goats, market poultry, lactating dairy cattle and lactating dairy goats, and be reviewed locally (assistance will be available from the Ohio Department of Agriculture by faxing the form to 614-728-6310); 23. For all shows the statute prohibits the misuse of legal drugs (including but not limited to the use of drugs approved for use in humans, but not approved for animal use) and the use of illegal drugs; 24. The statute prohibits the showing of tranquilized livestock, including products such as Calf Calm, and diuretics for cosmetic purposes; 25. All livestock entered in a carcass contest at a terminal, partial terminal, and non-terminal show must be drug free on the day of show: a. the withdrawal time must have elapsed by the day of show, or b. the drug must not exceed the tolerance level on the day of show; 26. Immediately before or during a terminal and partial terminal show and sale and within a valid veterinarian-client-patientrelationship (VCPR) or for a valid medical purpose a drug or an over-the-counter (OTC) drug may be used if it is declared on a DUNF and the drug’s side effect does not conceal, transform or enhance the conformation of the treated livestock, any such permitted drug use must be disclosed at the time of sale; 27. The drug use notification form shall be filed with the records official prior to the show in which the animal is entered. If at any time, the information on the original drug use notification form changes, an updated form shall be filed immediately with the records official.

28. At non-terminal shows the use of drugs requires a VCPR for prescription and extra-label use of drugs, and OTC drugs must be used for a valid medical purpose and according to label directions and must be declared on a DUNF. The preceding is not intended to be an all encompassing review of the statute and rules as they pertain to livestock exhibitions in Ohio.

Exhibitors, exhibition sponsors, parents, advisors, and veterinarians are encouraged to call the Ohio Department of Agriculture, Tony M. Forshey, D.V.M., at 614-728-6220 with any questions.

The success of this program is based on the continued input and cooperation of educators, industry, and government. Through your continued support, Ohio will continue to be a national leader in livestock show reform.

VETERINARIAN GUIDE LINES All animals will be inspected prior to entering the fairgrounds.

In order to make things more efficient, animals entering the grounds will do so in shifts. The animal will be inspected by the fair veterinarian or persons designated by the fair veterinarian with the fair veterinarian having final say in all disputes.

Friday night 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. goats and sheep.

Saturday night 6 p.m. to 12 a.m. all cattle and swine.

All animals must be on the grounds by the specified times for each specie. No animal shall enter the grounds without being inspected by the fair veterinarian or his/her designated assistants.

1. All animals on the grounds will be inspected prior to entering the fairgrounds. All animals will be evaluated for infectious disease, illness, lameness, etc. Animals must be weighed within the 24 hours of entering the grounds. Any injured, sick or otherwise unhealthy animals will be quarantined and further inspection performed. Determination will be made as to whether the animal will be permitted to remain on the grounds. Things that will be specifically visually inspected are but not limited to lameness, body condition, ringworm, warts, orf, or foot rot.

2. Any injured, sick, lethargic or lame animal must be evaluated by the fair veterinarian as soon as reasonably possible. The fair veterinarian will check-in with the Junior Fair Board Office each morning the week of the fair. This office is a central location where all animal concerns are reported. The fair veterinarian will inspect and then recommend treatment. The fair veterinarian will have the discretion to remove any sick or injured animals as needed. If in the determination of the fair veterinarian an animal requires treatment, it may remain on the grounds as long as there is no danger to the public, the animal or other animals on the grounds.

The exhibitor of any animal given a medication shall be required to fill out drug residue paperwork and the animal will not enter the food chain until the withdrawal time has elapsed.

3. All animals will be moved and handled in a safe and efficient manner. Any exhibitor or person mistreating an animal will be asked to leave the grounds. All animals shall have access to clean water, stall and feed. No animal on the grounds shall have water deliberately withheld for any reason. Bucket watering animals is permissible as long as there is a bucket within the stall and the animal has reasonable signs of recent watering. Intentionally tampering with the water of any animal with the purpose of reducing water intake shall result in immediate expulsion of the exhibitor and the project from the grounds.

4. Animals exhibiting signs of zoonotic diseases, which could affect human health, will be removed from the grounds at any point during the fair. Common zoonotic disease includes ringworm, orf, scrapie, foot and mouth, vesicular stomatitis, etc.

5. All decisions of the fair veterinarian are final. Any exhibitor can elect to have any veterinarian examine and/or treat their project, however, the fair veterinarian must be made aware of the diagnosis and all treatments performed.

Common sense and good animal ethics will be the guidelines with which all decisions are made. We are going to promote good ethical treatment and raising of food animals to the public. Thank you for your time, cooperation and assistance in regards to these matters. I hope that this year’s fair is fun and rewarding for all of our young people, as 4-H is a valuable experience for all youth.

Thank you Mark S. Burroughs DVM 2014 Clermont County Fair Veterinarian GENERAL RULES FOR JUNIOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS General 1.

17. For all market classes, there must be five animals to make a class.

2014 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 73

Care and Handling 1. All Junior Fair exhibitors are responsible for the care, feeding and handling of animal exhibits and areas around exhibits. Aisles will be inspected daily by adult and junior specie consultants. If an exhibitor must be told to care for or clean his or her animals and stalls, pens or cages, they will be warned and premiums will be withheld. If a second warning is issued, this could lead to disbarment from showing and/or selling animals. That decision would be made by a committee of a Junior Fair Board member, Junior Fair Board specie junior and senior consultants, another Junior Fair Board adult consultant, a Senior Fair Board member and the 4-H or Agriculture/Natural Resource educator.

2. Every exhibitor will be provided a pen, stall or cage for his or her project except horses. Additions or enhancements must be provided by the exhibitors at their own expense.

3. Exhibitors who do not clean their pens, stalls or cages after selling their animals or taking them home will be assessed a $50 cleaning fee per animal, which will be given to the Senior Fair Board to cover the cost of cleaning. Pens, stalls and cages must be cleaned by 10 a.m. Sunday immediately after fair. The stall cards must be left hanging above the pens, stalls and cages. Nothing may be left in the aisles in any barn. All manure, mulch, etc. used in pens, stalls or cages must be taken from the barns and placed in appropriate manure piles. This includes horse stalls. Any animals and/or other property left after 10 a.m. will become the property of the Junior Fair Board.

4. One fan is allowed per pen or stall. No fans used in the barns may be hung by bailing twine. Fans must be hung, according to the fire marshal, with wire. Fans may not be hung by handles.

Castration and Dehorning Castration and dehorning must be done well before pre-fair tag-ins/check-ins. The wounds caused by castration and dehorning must be completely healed by the prefair tag-in/check-in. See goat rules for additional dehorning information. Exhibitors owning animals found with any problem concerning castration and/or dehorning at the pre-fair tag-in will be given seven days to correct the problem. This must be done by a licensed veterinarian at the expense of the exhibitor. A letter certifying the problem has been corrected must be sent to the Ohio State University Extension Office by the veterinarian within seven days of the pre-fair weigh-in/check-in. Failure to comply will result in disqualification. A blank tag will be placed in the animal’s ear at the pre-fair tag-in; when the letter is received, the JFB coordinator and/or a consultant will come to insert a new tag and collect a $100 fee. This rule only applies if an effort was made before tag-in to have the animal castrated and/or dehorned. If no effort was made, the animal is automatically disqualified. SPECIAL NOTE: FOR THE 2015 FAIR, MALE GOATS MUST BE CASTRATED BY THE MAY TAG-IN DATE. ANY SAC MUST BE COLD TO THE TOUCH AND APPROVED BY THE FAIR VETERINARIAN. Championship Drive 1. If an exhibitor wishes to pull an animal from the Championship Drive, in their respective show, they will forfeit all premiums and awards for that animal. These awards will be given to the animal placing next in the original class, and that animal will then be eligible to compete for further honors.

2. The Grand Champion and Reserve Grand Champion market steer, market Iamb, market goat and market hog must sell and they will be terminal. All eight of these animals are required to be slaughtered and the carcasses may be examined for any abnormalities or tampering immediately after the respective auction in which they sell at the Clermont County Fair. These animals will be sent directly to a facility approved by the Senior Fair Board. These animals are subject to state-mandated testing after the show, as per state law.

Drug Use Notification Forms 1. Completed and signed drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. the Saturday before the fair begins in the Junior Fair Board office. Without these forms, animals cannot go across the scales. See the state rules for information about penalties. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board Office.

Feed Verification Forms 1. Completed and signed feed verification forms for ruminant animals must be submitted to the Fair Veterinarian or designee at the fair weigh-in. Forms will be available in the Junior Fair Board office prior to the weigh-in.

Grooming 1. Grooming of the Junior Fair project animal is an important part of the learning experience for the Junior Fair exhibitor. ALL JUNIOR FAIR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THEIR OWN GROOMING. However, if needed, Junior Fair exhibitors may have someone help with grooming.

Exhibitors may be assisted by only the following listed individuals: Parents, brothers, sisters, legal guardians, grandparents, currently registered Clermont County 4-H club advisors, FFA advisor and current Clermont County Junior Fair exhibitors. The Junior Fair exhibitor being assisted must be present when assistance is being given. Assistance is interpreted as the actual touching of the animal. People, other than those listed, may give verbal directions, but may not touch the animal in any way.

2. Tampering and/or misrepresentation as to the breeding, age, ownership and any other irregularity in showing will be considered fraud and deception. Any artificial means of removing or remedying the physical defects of conformation in exhibition livestock, such as lifting and filling under the skin, use of string, artificial heels, addition of hair, etc., will be considered fraud and deception. The use of an artificial tail head or altering the natural coloring of an animal shall be prohibited.

74 - 2014 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR

The use of any means of inhumane artificial stimulation will not be permitted. All animals showing evidence of such treatment will be barred from competition and sale. Exhibitors may use natural coloring, i.e. red on red or white on white, from the hocks down.

3. Fraud or deception shall constitute a major offense. Should fraud or deception be discovered before the show, the animal(s) will not be permitted to show and the exhibitor will be barred from showing at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. Should fraud or deception be discovered after the animal(s) have shown and prior to the sale, said animal (s) will not be permitted to sell, all premiums and awards will be forfeited, and the exhibitor will not be permitted to show at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. If possible, the animals placing next in line will be moved up. Should violations be discovered after the sale, all prizes and awards will be forfeited, all money shall be returned to the buyer, and the exhibitor will not be allowed to show at the Clermont County Fair for the next two years. If applicable, the carcass will be returned to the exhibitor unless the carcass is condemned.

4. Exhibitors barred from showing at the Ohio State Fair will not be permitted to exhibit at the Clermont County Fair for the same amount of time barred from the Ohio State Fair.

5. Animals suspected to have had substances administered to change the conformation and/or temperament of the animal may be subject to veterinary inspection while on the Clermont County Fairgrounds. Any market animals, including those sold through the fair sale, are subject to such tests at any time during the Clermont County Fair or during harvest.

Health 1. All livestock must meet the inspection and health requirements of the state of Ohio and Clermont County. Any sick, injured, contagious, infectious or diseased animal may be removed from the fairgrounds by the official fair veterinarian.

2. The fair veterinarian or Senior Fair Board vet designees will be present at pre-fair and fair tag-ins/check-ins/weigh-ins to check for proper castration, proper dehorning (except some goats, see goat rules for additional information) and health problems. The responsibility of the designees or fair veterinarian also is to inspect livestock for evidence of any contagious or infectious disease. Exhibitors may engage their own veterinarian for any usual consultation, diagnosis and treatment work. Duties beyond this will be at the discretion and decision of the fair veterinarian and Junior and Senior Fair Board department chairs. See castration section in General Livestock Rules for more information.

3. Feed verification forms for market animals will be collected by the fair veterinarian or his designee at fair weigh-in/check-in. Drug use notification forms are due between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Friday and Saturday before the fair in the Junior Fair Board office. Forms are available in the Junior Fair Board office. Without the drug use notification forms and feed verification forms, completed and appropriately signed, animals cannot weigh-in, which means animals cannot be shown and/or sold.

4. If an animal should die while on the fairgrounds, it is the responsibility of the exhibitor to remove the animal from the fairgrounds within 3 hours.

Mandatory Assuring Quality Care for Animals Training 1. Quality Assurance programs will be scheduled each year to discuss tampering, violations and other state rules. Previous year attendance does not apply; participants must attend a program each year they participate with market livestock at the fair.

2. All Junior Fair market exhibitors’ parent/legal guardian or advisor must attend a Quality Assurance program even if they attended a meeting in the previous year.

3. All exhibitors in market steers/large market heifers, feeder calves, market lambs, market hogs, market goats, lactating dairy cattle, lactating dairy goats, market poultry and meat rabbits are required to complete an approved Quality Assurance Program in an Ohio county.

4. FFA exhibitors may meet this qualification through their Agriculture Education coursework, providing the instructor is certified through Ohio Quality Assurance training guidelines and recorded with Pork Quality Assurance as a qualified trainer. FFA advisors must hand in paperwork that lists the FFA class members who completed the requirements.

Section 16: Skill-a-thon and Outstanding Exhibitor Program (OEP) Consultant - Holly Jennings Skill-a-thon: Awards: Location:

2 p.m. to 4 p.m. the Sunday prior to the Fair (Royalty candidates at 1:30 p.m.)

7 p.m. Thursday Cattle Arena

About OEP The OEP program is designed to incorporate several educational aspects of livestock production into one competition and recognize those youth who excel in the

following areas, with equal weight from each area (you must participate in all three to be part of the OEP): 1. Live animal placing (Equitation/Horsemanship for horses) 2. Showmanship placing (with your animal) 3. Skill-a-thon placing The OEP program will be conducted in the following species for the 2014 fair: 1. Market Hogs 2. Meat Goats 3. Lambs (Breeding and Market) 4. Beef (Steers, Heifers and Feeder Calves) 5. Poultry 6. Equine (Awards will be given at the Horse Arena Friday of the fair) 7. Dairy Goats 8. Dairy Cattle 9. Rabbits (Market and Breeding) 10. Pygmy Goats General Rules 1. All Junior Fair exhibitors may participate in the Skill-a-thon held Sunday prior to the fair.

2. Live animal placing: An exhibitor will receive points for his/her highest placing animal in each respective species. Only one animal per exhibitor per species may be counted in the total score.

3. Showmanship placing: An exhibitor will receive points according to his/her showmanship placing. The exhibitors’ own animal must be used for showmanship.

4. Skill-a-thon placing: A Skill-a-thon is a hands-on, educational event designed to test the exhibitor’s knowledge of each respective species, which will be conducted Sunday prior to the fair. These topics may include, but are not limited to: Breeds, feeds, equipment, meat cut ID, body parts, quality assurance, etc.

Resources for this event are, but not limited to the, Learning Laboratory Kits and the 4-H Resource Handbooks for each species.

5. There will be three age divisions: Beginner (ages 8 to 12), intermediate (13 to 15), and senior (age 16 to 18).

6. One station of the Skill-a-thon will be judging of the exhibitor’s CURRENT project and record book (4-H or FFA). Judging will be based on the pages that should be completed up to the day of the Skill-a-thon; the book does not have to be completely finished. However, certain pages will be selected to be scored for this station and will not be announced prior to the event. An entry is considered complete when an entire line is complete on the page (date, amount, kind, cost, etc.) The exhibitor must indicate clearly if that page did not apply to their project. If they do not bring a CURRENT project and record book, for any reason, they will receive a zero for this station. Make sure to include expenses for your project – it cost someone money to raise the project even if it is not an exhibitor. The goal of this station is to encourage record keeping and understanding of the financial aspects of the project.

7. All winners will be awarded at 7 p.m. Thursday of the fair in the Cattle Arena (except horses and pygmy goats). The top five in each age division also will be announced at this time. Unclaimed awards will be available for pick-up in the Junior Fair Board Office after the announcement.

8. Ties will be broken in the following order: (1) on the points awarded from the Skilla-thon; (2) raw score of the Skill-a-thon; (3) part one of the Skill-a-thon; (4) part two of the Skill-a-thon, etc.

9. Points will be determined according to placing in each of the three categories.

The lowest points will determine winners.

10. All non-OEP participating Skill-a-thon participates will be removed from the OEP point system and their Skill-a-thon points will be distributed. In animal classes, exhibitors will be awarded points based on their actual placing.

11. An exhibitor that is disqualified for any reason also will be disqualified from OEP for the same length of time.

12. The committee reserves the right to adjust rules to fit the needs of a successful fair program.

13. Awards will be given according to the sponsorship money available. However, ribbons will be distributed to the top five placings of each age division in both the Skill-a-thon and the OEP.
