THE HERALD ■ FRIDAY, JULY 10, 2015
It takes a community to put on the fair By MICHAEL MAZUR Special Sections Writer “It really does take a village to put on the fair,” said Susan Hoffman, a Dubois County 4-H Council member and secretary for the group. Another council member, Ed Boeglin, doubled that and said “it really takes two villages.” More than 300 adult volunteers — some of them adult club leaders and others former 4-H members and leaders and council and subcommittee members — work all year, making adjustments for the next fair. Many area business sponsors provide their support with donations, expertise and equipment. “Without them this (fair) would not happen,” Boeglin said. More than 900 4-H’ers fill the events and exhibits with their projects. “The average fairgoer pretty much sees the same thing every year,” said Boeglin. But for those who work behind the scenes, the 15-member council, the three junior advisory leaders, the council subcommittees, the adult leaders and all the adult volunteers at times frantically trying to coordinate things to bring the fair together, “it is far from the same,” Boeglin said. In August, while the current year’s fair is fresh in their minds they go over everything, looking for ways to improve upon things — what they can do to handle extreme weather, improving the grounds, simplifying the infrastructure, adding new events and entertainment and adjusting to policy changes handed down to them from Purdue. “Take this year,” Boeglin said, “we had to make adjustments for the Avian flu in our poultry division. The animal board of health makes rules changes each year that we have to adjust to.” Every fair, in the way it is put together, is unique in its own right because of these challenges, according to Hoffman. Hoffman and Boeglin both agree that the council’s job is to coordinate everything, making sure they see the whole picture and how each subcommittee event changes affect other events. “We have to know if we make one adjustment how it will affect other things, like a domino effect,” Boeglin said. Many subcommittees are made up of former council members who want to ensure continuity with their projects. “We love being on the board. It is a lot of fun. We poke fun of one another, Hoffman said. “If we did not have fun, I don’t know what I would do. It would get ornery,” Boeglin added. Both Boeglin and Hoffman have spent the greater part of their life involved with 4-H, starting as child members before becoming adult leaders, raising their own children who all are and were 10-year members. Boeglin has spent 46 of his 55 years involved with 4-H. He is serving his second board stint with the first running from 1994 to 2000. They both are also adult leaders, Hoffman with the Celestine Club and Boeglin with Shooting Sports. And as leaders they try to instill in the members that there is always something they can take away from their 4-H experience, whether it is building self-esteem and self-confidence, being able to speak up for oneself, making lifelong friendships or maybe discovering a vocation or career path. Just being able to make decisions, taking a position and not sitting on the fence
Dubois County 4-H Council members Ed Boeglin and Susan Hoffman say more than 300 adult volunteers work together to make the Dubois County 4-H Fair a success year, after year, after year.
is an accomplishment, according to Boeglin. Hoffman’s daughter Rachel, a student at Western Kentucky University, is majoring in animal science, something she developed an interest while judging livestock as a 4-H member. Her third and youngest daughter, Jade, is one of the three junior leader advisory members to this year’s council. Both of Boeglin’s daughters are adult leaders and his youngest daughter, Samantha, is considering going into conservation law enforcement, a consideration influenced by conservation officers who worked with the shooting club she belonged to. There is such a variety of projects to choose from, that someone would be hard pressed not to find something that catches their interest. “You never know where it can lead you,” Hoffman said. The fair to the average fairgoer for the most part may seem like it never changes, but to the council members and all those behind the scenes it is an ever-evolving process. This year, they added laser tag for children and a grandstand arena concert. “We try to introduce new things to keep up with the interests and make things better,” Hoffman said.

4-H’ers put in work to show off best friends By MICHAEL MAZUR Special Sections Writer Sharon Frank encourages any adult dog owners or those who just love dogs to join the Paws and Pals 4-H Club in helping 4-H’ers with training their dogs in obedience and dog agility. Frank along with Ruth Bush, the only adult club leaders, have been training dogs on the agility run Frank has set up on her property. Frank, a retired elementary school teacher, has been training dogs and competing in dog agility competitions since she retired in 2004. This will be the third year the Dubois County 4-H Fair will hold the dog project event, an event Frank spearheaded having added to the fair week. Since the club’s inception in 2012, membership has grown each year. Members range in age from first-graders to high school seniors. The dogs range from younger than 1 year up to 8 years old. This year’s competition will include a Great Dane, a beagle, a golden retriever, an all-American dog (mixed breed) and a Pekingese. In order to compete in the agility run, the members first must have completed the dog obedience program required at both the county and state level of competition. The dog owner’s assignment is to ensure that the dog is ready to compete and to give signals and commands necessary to compete in the run, such as climb, walk and jump. “The main thing is that the dog needs to learn repetition and routine,” she added. During the training sessions, the 4-H members teach their dogs to maneuver around an obstacle course through cues and commands, all done without touching the dogs. Outdoor training is limited to the warmer months prior to each fair, usually being able to get outside in April, May and June. The late winter and early spring meetings are held once or twice a month but in June and May they are held weekly. The Indiana 4-H agility run is modeled after United Kennel Club rules with some modifications. The agility run, judged by one person, will still consist of 13 pieces of equipment, including a pause table, three obstacles, an Aframe for the dog to climb over, a walk area and an open tunnel. The course layout must include nine selected hurdles which the judge determines. The fair course is 80by-50 feet, which is smaller than the professional circuit of 100-by100 feet. The entrants do not know the layout before they compete.
Dogs are entered according to height divisions, beginning with the toy level, which is up to and including 10 inches, and divisions 1, 2 and 3 for which the height is determined by measuring from the withers, the highest part of the dog’s shoulders, to the ground while the dog is standing naturally (not leaning or crouching). “This is their jump height,” Frank said. The dogs are measured at the show for verification. All dogs must run the same course regardless of the height divisions. The divisions determine the height of the hurdle jumps,
“This (agility run) is the fun part of the show.” Sharon Frank
Paws and Pals 4-H Club pause table and pause jump. For example, the toy division hurdle and table height is 4 inches, while the division 3 dog must clear a hurdle and pause jump that mea-
sures 20 inches high. Since it is a beginner course, most entrants dogs will be on a leash. The obedience part of the dog project event is modeled after American Kennel Club rules and all dogs compete regardless of breed and size and the judging factors include walk, heel, sit and stay positions and making left and right turns. “It is really judged on how well you can control your dog,” Frank said. Obedience can be done in short sessions at home, 15 minutes a day, broken up in increments such
as five minutes in the morning and 10 minutes in the afternoon. Just hanging out with your dog pal everyday and giving sit and stay commands teaches the dog routine and habits. Just like their human counterparts, their attention span wanes after long sessions and the learning effect is diminished. The dog project event, beginning with the agility competition will be at 9 a.m. Thursday, July 16, at Exhibit 1 building followed immediately by obedience judging. “This (agility run) is the fun part of the show,” Frank said.
