Membership is comprised of area residents, EOU students, faculty, staff and others. Zeke Fetrow of Portland is the con- ductor and music director. Sandoz said GRSA saw an op- portunity to “help an EOU student who plays a stringed instrument to keep up with their hard-earned skills” while also buoying the strings section of the symphony. but it will keep her bucking at a high level for a long time because guys won’t be able to igure her out.” She’s a dedicated bucker, for sure, but until the chute gate opens, the mild-man- nered mare contently lingers with her herd mates amid the “We hope the scholarship also brings Lorna the recognition she so richly deserves,” Sandoz added.

SHOT Continued from Page A10 The event was a fundraiser for the Joseph Masonic Lodge. Contestants included ECSA president Doug Wickre, Dep- uty Fred Steen and Dustin Schaeffer. After more than an hour of shooting, Schaeffer was declared the winner in both the rile and pistol events. Wickre place second and Steen third. Wickre said the scores were very close. Schaeffer said that con- stant practice put him over the top. He walked away from the contest with a brand new Mar- lin .17 HMR bolt-action and a Copper Creek Mercantile gift certiicate. The other compet- itors also received gift certii- cates. Wickre said the ECSA does a number of fundraisers and while he hoped for more con- testants, this was the contest’s irst year. “We put out a lot of publicity out on it, and I’m surprised that we didn’t have at least a dozen competitors, but it is what it is,” Wickre said. “Hopefully we can build on it next year.” Shooting is a sport that can be shared by families, Wickre said. “We have a lot of family memberships. ... It’s something a family can do together like we did with our kids as they grew up. The association does have some family events such as hunter safety, and a lot of our matches see kids coming with their dad or mom to shoot or watch.” The association stresses safety, and no one is allowed to shoot on the range without irst receiving full orientation and training from a range oficer. “Even though this match was a timed event, irst comes safety, second comes accuracy and third comes speed,” Wickre explained. The ECSA range is located north of Enterprise. Take State Highway 3 toward Lewiston for seven miles and turn right on Ant Flat Road, then proceed one mile south. The range will be on the left. The range facili- ty is locked and only members hold the combination to the padlock. If you wish to visit or use the facility please contact an oficer or member. Guests are welcome to use the facility. The facility boasts a main rile range, pistol bays, a black-powder range and even an archery range. A shotgun trap is slated for the near future. Range/association membership is $55 per year for an individu- al, $75 for a couple and $100 for family.
