Donkey basketball event
raises money and hope
Trumped up
Games at Armory
benefit Shriners
By EDWARD STRATTON
The Daily Astorian
The scoring was minimal,
but so was the poop on the
court.
A five-team, five-on-five
donkey basketball tournament
at the Astoria Armory Satur-
day raised at least $1,500 for
the Al Kader Shriners of Clat-
sop County.
The home-court Astoria
Armory Donkey Boys rode to
the championship over teams
from Medix Ambulance,
Seaside Police Department
and Tongue Point Job Corps
Center.
The event benefited the
Shriners, which provides
financial support for screen-
ing and care for certain con-
ditions treated at the nonprofit
Shriners Hospital for Chil-
dren in Portland. The group
also helps organize the East-
West Shrine Game, an all-star
match between the best Ore-
gon senior high school foot-
ballers on each side of the state
that also supports the hospital.
“Donkey basketball has
been something that quite a
few of the (Shriners) clubs put
on,” said Victor Kee, president
of the local Shriners chap-
ter. Volunteers from the Ever-
green Masonic Lodge in Sea-
side also staffed the event.
Kee said the money made
from the tournament will sup-
port an April banquet at the
Astoria Masonic Lodge hon-
oring the local additions to the
East-West Shrine Game.
Herding cats
Five-person teams duked it
out in Saturday’s tournament,
four in the saddle and one in a
circle at center court trying to
distribute and steal inbounds
passes.
“I had a better time herd-
ing cats than trying to get
these guys to” cooperate, said
Steven Zamora, a driver for
Medix Ambulance who at one
point was thrown from the
saddle when his ride started
bucking.
The first match started with
the donkeys taking their nov-
ice riders over the court barri-
ers and around the gym, to the
delight of the 100 or so spec-
tators. The donkeys, from Ici-
cle Outfitters in Leavenworth,
Washington, challenged riders
to control the reins and shoot,
often one-handed, from a slow
trot. Fast breaks turned into
slow stampedes, with riders
trying to outrun defenses and
direct their donkeys toward
the hoop for a layup.
“At first it was really
hard,” said Ayelech Bushnell,
on the first of Tongue Point’s
two teams, adding that some

Armory. The event raised at least $1,500 for the Al Kadur
Shriners, The Shriners put on the East-West Shrine Game,

players statewide that supports the nonprofit Shriners
Hospital for Children in Portland. The group provides fi-
nancial support for medical screenings, along with hospi-
tal care for certain conditions. More photos online.
harder tugging on the reins got
the donkeys to respond.
Her team beat the Sea-
side Police in the afternoon’s
first game and eventually fell
to the Donkey Boys, made up
partially from members of the
Armory Skatepark downstairs,
in the final.
Providing care
Robin
Koustik,
the
Armory’s lone employee, sat
this tournament out. But for
the former Shriners patient,
helping the group and playing
in previous tournaments is like
giving back.
Koustik was born with a
congenitally deformed left leg
and soon ended up a patient at
the Shriners hospital in Port-
land. The hospitals treat club-
foot, hand disorders, limb defi-
ciencies and discrepancies,
hip disorders, scoliosis, brit-
tle bone disease, juvenile idio-
pathic arthritis and orthopedic
problems associated with cere-
bral palsy and split spine. The
care is provided regardless of a
patient’s ability to pay.
“I have had 29 surgeries on
my left leg,” Koustik said. “I
lived in Shriners from age 1 to
3. They covered me until I was
21.”
Koustik said that while she
was in the hospital, she often
spent half a year in crutches
or a wheelchair, with con-
tinual visits by Shriners and
Masons to lift her spirits. She
now plays for the Shanghaied
Roller Dolls and said the hos-
pital’s care helped make her
limp barely noticeable.
“That made me want to be
as active as possible, because
you only have it for a short
period of time, whether you’re
healthy or not,” she said.
Kee said the Shriners used
to do two medical screening
events a year, but now encour-
age kids who might have
the conditions listed to get
screened by doctors. He added
that many doctors donate their
time for the screenings. “If
cost is an issue, we’ll make
sure it gets screened,” he said.
