Stage band concert
slated at Mt. Hood
A d o p te d son

After accidently discovering
he was an adopted child in 19+4,
James D Hutchison, formerly
of Gresham, ended a 29 year
search, this summer, to find out
the identity of his real parents
The search ended when an
aunt
learned
of
his
w hereabouts. She contacted
him in Ridgefield, Wash .
where he makes his home and
then told his mother of his
search Since then he has
visited with his mother, father
and several members of their
families many times
The search began in 1944
when Hutchison enlisted in the
Navy after his graduation from
Sandy High School While in the
South Pacific he learned that he
was adopted.
Suddenly questions came to
his mind—Who am I? Why
wasn't I told before0 Who are
my real parents0 Why did they
put me up for adoption0
While still in the Navy,
Hutchison requested the Naval
legal officer to investigate his
birth for him It was discovered
that he was born out of wedlock
in 1926 in a small Oklahoma
town to a young woman and
another man already married
with a family. Consequently,
his father lost his wife, family
and job over the affair His
parents went their separate
ways His father remarried and
his mother married and raised
her own family.
Still looking for his parents.
Hutchison was married at the
Gresham Assembly of God
Church in 1947, and had a
partner to aid in his search.
Until this summer he only
had one set of parents, now all
at once he has a mother, a step
m other and an aunt. His
adopted mother died in 1964 He
has found his real father, and
has an adopted father who is 72.
He now has five sisters and two
brothers and is looking forward
to visiting them at their homes
in Texas and Oklahoma
He feels anyone with adopted
children should tell them at an
early age that they were
adopted
C a m e r a s m issing
Two cameras, two radios and
a calculator were among items
reported stolen from the Harry
Elias Bates residence, Rt. 4
Box 1155, Boring, early Friday
morning, according to sheriff's
reports.

LITTLE JOE points to pigeon hidden in brush as his
owner-trainer Tom Burke approaches in background.
The two-year-old German Shorthair comes from
Halibut Pieces
Cooked m our
Special Batter
Bird dog learns craft
from patient trainer
Getting that bird in the hand
is part of Tom Burke’s job
Burke trains bird dogs and
has
been
doing
so
professionally in the Boring
area for seven years. He shoots
so many birds in the training
process that he often takes a
camera along instead of a gun
when he goes hunting himself
“I really don’t care if I shoot
a bird or not," Burke explained
Friday.
“I’d just as soon take some
pictures and get some good dog
work in.”
Burke runs G reenacres
Kennels. He has trained his
own dogs for 25 years and
began training professionally
when he moved to Boring from
the Midwest seven years ago.
Training a dog well takes a lot
of birds Burke estimates that
he goes through 3,000 a year
“A puppy might kill 50 birds
before you’ve actually trained
him," Burke said. “After that
you only shoot the birds he
actually points He soon learns
I that if he doesn't point the bird,
he doesn't get to retrieve it—
and retrieving is the dogs
reward."
Birds don’t come cheap
Pigeons, which are used in the
early stages of training a
puppy, cost 80 cents apiece.
As the dog advances, chukars
(at $2.25 apiece) and pheasants
($3.50 each) are used.
Burke trains around 40 dogs a
year and now, understandably,
is his slack season. Most
hunters have their dogs out
hunting.
A pigeon is the only non-game
bird that a dog will point by
scent. Burke said.
To keep the pigeon in place,
the trainer "dizzy’s 'em” by
whirling them around upside
down a couple of times.
Burke then puts the pigeon's
head under its wing and hides
the bird out of sight in the
brush The bird will stay there
about 15 minutes before flying,
plenty of time for the dog to
hunt it out and point it.
The same method is used for
pheasants
“With a chuckar you just
drop it anyplace where there’s
good cover and it will stay put,
Burke said
Training dogs doesn't occupy
all of his time Burke works at
an automotive shop in Portland
six hours a day.
“From the first of March to
Oct 15 is my busiest time,” he
said, patting his own German
Shorthair, Little Joe.
On a typical day in the
summertime, Burke leaves his
house at daybreak, works dogs
until 8 a m., then leaves for
work He's back home at 2:30
p.m. and trains until dark
Most of his training is done on
Sauvie’s Island.
At the moment Burke is
training seven dogs. He has had
dogs sent to him from
California and Montana, “And I
get a lot of dogs from the
Seattle area.”
A good deal of B urke’s
training business probably
comes from his reputation in
competition.
Since 1958 he has had 375
placements by his dogs in
trials. A typical field trial may
have 150 dogs competing and
judges place only the top four,
making Burke’s record over
the past 25 years all the more
remarkable.
Furthermore, only the first
place dog in a competition
earns a point toward becoming
a Field Champion.
Little Joe. Burke's two-year-
old German Shorthair. has four
points to his credit. He needs
six more to earn the Field
Champion title.
Little Joe also has six points
in bench competition, which is
based solely on the dog’s
'-V
'
configuration and gait, and
Burke thinks the dog has a good
chance of becoming a dual
champion.
More than anything else,
Burke enjoys training dogs and
helping other people train
theirs.
He readily admitted that
taking your dog to a
professional train e r isn’t
always the best way to go.
“There’s a lot of satisfaction
in training your own dog," he
said. “Patience is the key. A
guy goes hunting with a buddy
who has an experienced dog
and figures his pup should know
everything the first time out.”
“Don’t rush the dog. More
good bird dogs have been
ruined that way.”
It takes Burke about two or
three months to train a dog
The dog never forgets the
training. On the other hand, a
good dog is always learning.
"Chukars are the most dif
ficult bird for a dog to learn
because they run so bad It
takes a dog two years to
become a good chukar dog, and
some never learn.”
Burke said he might train 20
pups before he runs across a
dog that’s a potential field
champion.
