2011 fair book contest winner By Kristin Bednarski Clermont Sun staff Jeff Focke of Moscow has always dreamed of being known as an artist, and the Clermont County native is one step closer after winning the Clermont County Fair Book Cover Contest. Focke, who attends the Art Institute of Ohio, Cincinnati, said he began working on what would be the contest-winning fair book cover after his son noticed the ad for the art contest in the paper. “I tried to stick to the theme,” Focke said. “That was From left, Bea Faul, Jeff Focke, Carl Schoellman and key.” Focke not only stuck to the theme, ‘Clermont County Jan Shoellman pose with the 2011 Fair Book design. has a good thing growing,’ but he also highlighted many of the different activities the fair is known for. The horse show, beauty pageant, tractor pull and other attractions all had a place on Focke’s cover. “They liked this one right at the beginning,” said Bea Faul, director of the fair board and co-chair of the contest committee. “But we had eight really outstanding entries this year.” The committee advertised the contest to the public as well as local art teachers. Entries were due in the end of March and the committee went through the selection process in the middle of April. “This year was the strongest year we’ve had as far as quality of the entries,” said Jan Schoellman, committee member and fair board office manager. Schoellman said the color and design of Focke’s entry really popped out. “It was a good rendition of the theme we were trying to portray,” Schoellman said. Focke, who has been drawing since he was 3-years-old, has many artistic goals in life. He enjoys taking classes at a school designed for artists and said he eventually wants to travel to Italy to experience the art culture there. His ultimate goal is to have his artwork known even after he is gone. Focke said he was awaiting a phone call regarding a death in the family when he received the call that he had won the contest. “I was surprised and shocked,” Focke said. “It was a nice thing to win. I want to be a known artist and I feel this has helped.” Focke received $50 and the first fair book for winning the contest. He said he has brought his two sons to the Clermont County Fair before and will be bringing them back again this year. “The fair is definitely a family oriented event,” Focke said. “And it’s a good time.”

STONELICK TOWNSHIP FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION
New Time SUNDAY, JULY 24, 2011 1:00 P.M.
Each year the parade seems to get bigger and better, thanks to the Stonelick Township Firefighters Association, who is responsible for this major event. The parade each year is a colorful and exciting way to announce the opening of the fair. Visitors are welcome to sit in the grandstand, watch the parade, and then roam around the fairgrounds to get an idea of what will be at the fair at no charge. All the 4-H and FFA livestock will have arrived and many of the vendors will be open for business.

DEPARTMENT NO. 3 Cake & Pie Auctions Last year’s auctions were sponsored by Rousters Apple House and Miami Township Kroger 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. Amanda Keenan was the 2010 scholarship recipient. 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.

WHAT’S NEW FOR LIVESTOCK EXHIBITION IN 2011 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 veterinarian 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.
