•  First, keep youth away from situations in which they are at increased risk

•  Never be alone or allow another volunteer to be alone with a child (i.e., toileting, showering, changing clothes)

•  Avoid one adult/one child interactions •  Limited touching (i.e., high fives, hand shaking, side-to-

side hugs, rustling of hair, pats on the head) •  Never touch in areas covered by a bathing suit •  Physical restraint - Hold a child appropriately (i.e., only

in danger, documented in writing) •  Use appropriate verbal & non-verbal communications

Preventing Abuse


•  Listen to the child •  Reassure the child •  Remain calm and collected •  Provide any immediate help you can offer the

child to assure safety •  Do not promise the child you will not tell

anyone; you MUST report •  Do not share the information learned from the

child with the alleged perpetrator

What if a child confides in me?


The Ohio Revised Code established reporting responsibilities to a specific group of individuals: Animal control officers/agents, attorneys, audiologists, child care workers, children services personnel, coroners, day care personnel, dentists, nurses, physicians including hospital interns and residents, podiatrists, psychiatrists, school authorities, employees and teachers, social workers, speech pathologists and other professions identified by Ohio Revised Code Section 2151.421(A)(1)(b).

The report MUST be made to the county Children Services Agency or a municipal or a county peace officer in the county in which the child resides or in which the abuse is occurring or has occurred.

Ø OSU Policy REQUIRES that ALL volunteers report suspected child abuse.

General Jr. Fair Rules & Announcements •  Ohio Department of Agriculture Rules for Livestock Exhibitions

have been updated and some new rules and definitions added. The most significant changes are: ü  Absolutely no drenching of any kind for any species unless prescribed by a

licensed Veterinarian. Ohio defines drenching as the act of using an instrument including a bottle, placed in an animal’s mouth to orally administer a liquid, food, or any other substance. Instruments now include hand, syringe, scoop, or anything used to place a substance in an animal’s mouth.

ü  Adhesives are not permitted, hairspray is permitted

•  Skillathon can now be completed in Wayne County or at the Ohio State Fair (Note: OSF does not offer Quality Assurance so youth must complete it prior to OSF Skilathon or participate in special QA session at the Extension Office on August 15th to be eligible to exhibit at Wayne County Fair)


Building 10 Committee •  Beginner Sewing Workshops to be held June 13th – 15th and June

Beef Committee •  Animals must be shown at tag-in in January, a beef committee

clinic, a Winter/Spring jackpot or open show, or The Ohio State Fair. Copies of all documentation is due to the Extension Office By August 1st. For safety reasons, unruly animals that cannot be led or shown by the 4- H or FFA exhibitor will be dismissed from the fairgrounds at the discretion of the 4-H & FFA Beef Committee and the approval of the Official fair veterinarian.

•  If an exhibitor has a steer/heifer that dies and they receive a payout of the dead steer/heifer fund, that member is in-eligible to show any other beef project within that same class in Section 510.


Beef Committee •  All steers/heifers will have a DNA sample taken at tag in. The

samples will be overseen by and kept at the Extension Office. These sample will not be used unless a protest is filed. A protest must adhere to all proceedings as outlined in general rule 27. Once the protest is made, a current DNA sample will be taken and submitted along with the sample taken at tag-in to a DNA testing facility at the choice of the Liaison Committee or Sr. Fair board.

•  Market and Dairy Beef will no longer have divisions that go for Grand

and Reserve. They will have an overall top 10 for beef steers and a top 5 for Dairy steers.

2016 Dairy Palooza April 30th at the Trumbull County Fairgrounds.

be placed 1 through 10. Ayrshire & Guernseys were previously only placed 1 through 5.

•  Check-in time will now be Friday 5:00 – 10:00 pm. Previously check-in went until 11 pm, this makes it consistent with open class check-in time.

11 as a reason for which dogs can be dismissed from the show and fairgrounds.

•  Added “boots” to the list of inappropriate clothing for the show ring.

120 pounds on market goats eligible to show and sell. To be eligible for Jr. Fair show and sale, Meat Goats must weigh between 50 and 120 pounds.

course within 5 minutes – not just start the course within 5 minutes.

The horse entered, stalled and shown at the Wayne County Fair must match, identically in appearance, the horse pictured and described on the horse ID paperwork turned into the Extension Office June 1st of that year. The use of hoof dressing, including dressings that change the color of the feet, is optional and not considered in judging.”


Horse Committee •  Removed rule 27 that required a veterinarian or doctor’s excuse

for those who scratch more than 3 classes.

•  Added a new rule that says “Any horse left unattended, stall door must be closed.”

•  Replaced Hunter Hack and Western Horsemanship events in the Versatility Class with English Equitation and Reining events.

Tuesday from Saturday.

The second meeting will be August 29th to go over reminders and preparations for Fair.

•  Horse Special Requests will be Due May 2nd this year.


Poultry / Rabbit Committee Poultry

•  ODA has lifted the ban on poultry exhibitions so we are planning to be back to normal for poultry shows and sale.
