Top fan favorite went to
Ray Baird of Midvale, Idaho,
who had one mount that
bucked himself right off his
feet and pinned Baird to the
ground.
Enterprise’s own George
Koehlhepp, 46, came out on
a rangy roan that gave him a
heck of a ride and tossed him
before the buzzer.
Koehlhepp is famously
cheerful win or lose but he’s
also determined to win at his
hometown event –– so you’ll
see him next year, riding at
age 47.
The Dion Nozie Team of
Alpine, Ariz., won the Roger
Winn Memorial Wild Horse
Racing award.
The stock was exceptional
this year and fans appreciated
the return of Bonnie Eckley
Rasmussen’s big black geld-
ing, Nightmoves, drawn by
Ray Baird.
However,
Nightmoves
was not in the mood to be
sweet this trip and fi rst tried
to climb the chute before
coming out to give Ray Baird
a ride that earned him a 74
toward his fi nal 148.

Although their days of
playing for the Wallowa Valley
Cubs softball team are over,
Enterprise High School seniors
Darby Gassett and Rebecca
Bateman continue making a
mark on the diamond.
Gassett and Bateman both
received an offer to play in the
East-West 3A Senior All-Star
game in Corvallis.
“I’d heard about it. I wasn’t
totally expecting it, but I knew
about it,” Gassett said.
The two girls made the
400-mile trip with their parents
for the June 4 doubleheader,
which was played at Oregon
State University’s Softball
Complex.
“It was pretty cool,” Gas-
sett said. She said she was sur-
prised that the fi eld featured
natural grass rather than the
carpeting she was expecting.

Despite the weather, which
in Wallowa County changes
hourly, Alpine Meadows golf-
ers had a busy week.
Eleven two-person teams
competed in the local Triple
Six Tournament June 17 under
a pleasant sky. The Bill Ables
and Greg Oveson team golfed
72 for low gross. Dale Johnson
and Marvin Gibbs scored 76
for second low gross.
Adam Ward and Nick Jan-
nuzi won fi rst low net with
67.50. Tristan Beck and Pat
Lynn were second low net with
a 69.50. The teams played six
holes of best ball, six holes of a
scramble format and six holes
of Chapman. Sherrie Currie
won KP on No. 1 and No. 10.
Terry Decker KP No. 4 and
No. 13.

While dark, heavy clouds
hovered Thursday evening,
several gals met at the club-
house with hopes of playing
golf in the new Ladies Wine-

steady drizzle, they gathered in
the café, indulged in biscotti,

drinks and golf anecdotes.

Cindy Parks and Heather
Bruce represented Alpine
Meadows at Baker’s Ladies
Invitational tournament June
7. Bruce, who is a six handi-
capper, was expected to win
all the prizes. She did score a
76, which is darn good in any-
body’s book, but though she
won her fl ight, Callie Goss of
La Grande won the fi eld with
75.
Laughingly, and with a
good heart, Bruce related,
“Although I had fi ve birdie
holes, I also had one triple
bogey, two double bogeys and
one bogey.”

position. Like Gassett before
her, Bateman punched through
a single, scoring the runner and
sealing the win for the East.
The two hits proved the
highlight of the all-star experi-
ence for both girls.
“I thought we did pretty
well,” Gassett said.
Bateman also had an RBI in
the second game in the East’s
6-3 losing effort. Both girls
had 2 RBIs through the two
games with Bateman going 2
for 6 at the plate while Gassett
went 1 for 4 with a walk.
Gassett plans to attend
Eastern Oregon University in
La Grande this fall to start on
her quest for a nursing degree.
She also plans to try out for the
EOU softball team.
Bateman plans to attend
Brigham Young University in
Rexburg, Idaho, in pursuit of
an English degree with hopes
of returning to the Wallowa
Valley to teach.

normally at fi rst base, played
second as the team had no one
to fi ll the position, and she’d
played the position in the past.
Both girls were nervous
before the game, as they knew
they were facing some of the
top players in the state.
The opening game of the
doubleheader proved that even
rural ballplayers could com-
pete against their more urban-
ized opponents from Oregon’s
west side.
With the East down 12-10
in the sixth inning, Gassett
strode to the plate with runners
on second and third with two
outs.
Undeterred by the grav-
ity of the situation, Gas-
sett promptly lashed a base-
hit between second and third,
knocking in both runners to tie
the game at 12.
In the bottom of the seventh
inning, with the game still tied
at 12, Bateman came to the
