Carpenter wins fair book cover contest Jon Carpenter, of Blowville in Jackson Township, has won the 2013 Clermont County Fairbook Cover Contest. Carpenter designed the cover to reflect the theme of the 2013 Clermont County Fair: “There’s magic at the Clermont County Fair.” Carpenter is no stranger to the fair book cover contest, having won in 2010 and 2012. But he’s not a professional artist. He is a bridge inspector with the Clermont County Engineer’s Office, and said designing is a hobby. “The fair is a big deal for me, that’s why I do it, I like it,” Carpenter said. “With my strong background with the fair, I get a feeling of what I want to cover The Clermont County Fair Board Directors in charge of the fair book to look like.” cover recently presented Jon Carpenter with the first fair book and As a youngster Carpenter was a mem- a $50 check for winning the fair Clermont County Fair Book Cover ber of the Maple Rey Milk and More 4-H Contest.

Yvona Stahl, Owner of Calvacade of Thrills, inducted in the 2013 OFMA Hall of Fame Born and raised on a farm in Clermont County Ohio, Yvona is the oldest of four daughters. After graduating from Clermont Northeastern High School, she worked for a large insurance firm in Cincinnati. A few years of this convinced Yvona that there must be a more exciting way of making a living. In 1964 while attending the Clermont County Fair, the Rotroff All Girl Auto Thrill show was the grandstand attraction. Being a bit shy, Yvona mustered up the courage to approach the announcer, Chester Rotroff, about the possibility of joining the group as a driver. She was told if she were still interested next year she could come for training in the spring, and so she did. 1965 was the beginning of a lifelong career for Yvona, performing to thousands at county and state fairs throughout the Midwest. Traveling 400 or 500 miles between shows was the order of the day. Yvona was an excellent driver, had great rapport with the other drivers. Although the Thrill show fulfilled her desire for excitement and adventure, Yvona wasn’t ready to abandon her farm life altogether. Through every planting and harvest season she worked right alongside her Dad until he retired. To say Yvona was, and still is, a hard worker would be an understatement. When the Auto Thrill show ceased in 1973, Mr. Rotroff pro-
Yvona Stahl received her award at the OFMA Convention January 2013. Fair Board Directors left to right: John Cooper, Treasurer; Bea Faul, Yvona Stahl, Carl Schoellman and Jerry Bridges, President.
moted demolition derbies and Yvona stayed on board. She had that ‘road life’ in her blood and the Fairs were the perfect stage. One of her outstanding feats on the Thrill Show was driving on 2 wheels, called Hi skies’, so to add more excitement for the audience Yvona performed this stunt prior to the demo derby. Yvona performed this skies’ stunt at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in front of thousands. As the years went by a business partnership was formed between Mr. Rotroff and Yvona. He gradually took a back seat, so to speak, giving Yvona full reign of the operation. Although Mr. Rotroff’s passing in 2008 was an extremely difficult time for Yvona, she continued on with the demo derbies and always looks forward to the next season.
For this exemplary contribution to her community, to her work with our County Fairs, to Ohio Agriculture and to the
Ohio Fair Industry, we are proud to induct Yvona Stahl into the OFMA Hall of Fame Class of 2013. 2013 CLERMONT COUNTY FAIR - 15

JUNIOR DIVISION Combined with Section 8 of Junior Fair Rules: Bake-It Contest -- open to all youth Consultant – Margaret Jenkins 9:00 a.m., Thursday, July 25, 2013 Multi-Purpose Building General Guidelines 1. Junior entries are open to any boy or girl up to 18 years of age as of January 1 of the current year. The contest will be judged on merit only with ribbons as prizes. 2. Awards will be announced at 4:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose Building. 3. To qualify, the entry must be the work of the youth from start to finish, without help from an adult. This includes reading and following the recipe, measuring, mixing, baking, etc. Suggestion: Do a few practice runs prior to the fair, teaching the youth how to make the item and providing any needed help. This will instill confidence so that when they are ready to bake for the fair, they will not need an adult’s help. 4. Any youth who wishes to compete for premiums or have his/her item auctioned may do so by buying a season pass and following the same rules as adult exhibitors. Again, these entries must be completely made by the junior exhibitor. 5. Participants may enter multiple categories; however, only one entry per category will be accepted.

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. 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.

After her 10 year old son, Matt, was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage 3A, the foundation was created based on firsthand knowledge of what families diagnosed with cancer or blood diseases need in order to live their lives while managing the day-to-day challenges of treatment. The Dragonfly Foundation (TDF) supports families along their journey through treatment and healing. The foundation recently contributed a number of lap top computers to Children’s Hospital.

WHAT’S NEW FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITION IN 2013 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-
THOMAS YASH D.D.S. FAMILY DENTISTRY
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.

There will be three age divisions: beginner (ages 8 through 12), intermediate (13 through 15), and senior (age 16 through 18). 6. One station of the Skill-a-thon will be judging of the exhibitor’s project 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 project 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 fair week in the Cattle Arena (except horses and pygmy goats). The top five in each age division will also be announced at this time. Awards that are unclaimed 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 will also 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 placing in each age division in both the Skill-a-thon and the OEP Section 17: Livestock Sale Committee Rules Director Chair/Treasurer: Todd Slone Sale Manager: Stacie Taylor Assistant Manager: Lindsay Bennett Livestock Eligibility 1.

If any of these requirements are not met, the animal is not eligible to be sold. No dead animals may be sold. Contributions may be made directly to the exhibitor and not through the Sale Committee.
Exhibitor Responsibilities 7. Each exhibitor may sell only two animals in the livestock sale in any combination of species. In the event an exhibitor has more than two animals receiving grand and/or reserve champion, they will be permitted to sell all grand and/or reserve champion animals.

If an exhibitor violates this rule, the exhibitor will be moved to the end of the sale order for that species. 13.
