PAGE 10 AUGUST 11, 1978 sports I did it my way SUMMER RECREATION PROGRAM kids and counselors took over Pelton Lanes last Tuesday and displayed a number of unique styles. Many had never bowled before and the little ones found handling the huge balls to be more like wrestling. CDS Photo Summer Rec Program Comes To A Lively Finish The Summer Recreation Program held its final summer activities this past week. On Monday (August 7) the recrea tion crew took the kids to Kah- Nee-Ta for a fun-filled day of biking, swimming and sunning. Then on Tuesday (August 8) the group pulled out their bowl ing shoes and headed over to Madrs (Pelton Lanes) for a day of free bowling. Wednesday the (SRP) kids traveled to the Bend Roller Skatin Rink, some to learn how to skate while others just had fun skating. Then on Thursday (August 10) the group headed to Oak ville, Washington to visit with the Summer Recreation partici pants from Oakville. From Oak ville the group went to Seattle, Washington to visit the under ground town. The group headed home today (August 11). The Summer Recreation Program would like to extend an invitation to all the parents and family of the summer recreation program participants to attend a Potluck on August 15, behind the Community Center at 7:00 p.m. The Recreation Program will provide the main dish, they would like all the parents to bring a salad or fruit (water melon, etc.). Before, and maybe after the potluck, games that the kids played and learned about during the summer will be pre sented. Locals Slay Cool A! Indoor Rodeo Jazzy Wewa won the wild horse race at the at the All- Indian Rodeo in Portland and Carmela Scott placed second in the barrel Race. The rodeo sponsored by the Willamette Valley Indian Rodeo Committee drew top caliber Indian cowboys and cowgirls to the (PI) Pacific International Expo Center in north Portland on the weekend of August 4, 5, and 6th. Con testants from throughout the northwest and Canada provided plenty of action during the three-day rodeo. There were nearly twenty contestants from Warm Springs entered in the rodeo. The compe tition was tough in each event but was full of excitement throughout the three-day affair. The rodeo was held in conjunc tion with the Multnomah County Fair. Spectators were satisfied with the action provided by the Indian cowboys, but because of the lack of advertising there were not capacity crowds at the performances. For the All-Around cham pion cowboy there were two titles that went to two separate individuals. One was the winner of the events in the rough stock and a timed event which was ANSWERS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 1972 1967 1873 1874 Peter Skene Ogden 1938 won by John Colliflower who received a saddle for his efforts, in that category. The other was the winner for any two events with the highest winnings and that went to Mel Joseph who received the Commissioner’s Trophy. The results in each event went as follows: in the saddle bronc competition the winner was Jerry Sam of Omak, Wash ington, second place was shared by Richard Lewis and Oliver Lewis both from Vernon, British Columbia. Third was also split by Charlie Louis and Bill Veldez. In the bareback competition Vince Garcie emerged cham pion with Ted Hurtado second, Jerry Sam third, and Monty Calkin fourth. Mike Olney won the steer wrestling, Byron Chaney second and Rocky Avery third. The bull riding event pro vided thrills for the spectators and gave the cowboys plenty of action. The winner for that event was Vern Holly, second place was Oliver Pimms, third Gary Sam and fourth went to Larry Condon. Condon is almost a legend in the rodeo game, his main event during the years being the bull riding. The calf roping provided some thrills as the calves gave the cowboys some bad times during the event. But at the end Mel Joseph came out the winner with Fred Kinnerson second, Bozo Sampson third and Todd Cline fourth. The cowgirls had their day in the rodeo as they performed in the barrel race and all had very good time. At the end Terry. Shaw of Estacada was the win ner, Carmela Scott a local girl here in Warm Springs was second, Larrine Hall third and Margie Walker fourth. The team roping takes the skill of two cowboys who head and heel the steer. There is a five second penalty if a cowboy catches only one leg, but the times were very good at the show as the team of Ralph Rogers and Roger Williams were the winners with Randy Rogers and Mel Joseph second, Gerald Camarillo and Carl John son third, and Wes Williams and Fred Williams fourth. „The wild cow milking, try this in a tough situation for getting some milk for your “MUSH.” The roper uses a mugger to aid him in this event, and must have at least a drop of milk to qualify. The winner in this event was Fred Williams, second went to Wes Williams, third was Mel Joseph and fourth went to Roger Williams. The wildhorse race was a winner-take-all affair. Jazzy Wewa won that event and he seems to be dominating that event around this area. Rodeo stock was furnished by John Beard of Ellensburg, Washington. The announcing was done by an outstanding rodeo announcer Mel Lambert from Salem, Oregon. Lambert, a veteran at the rodeo game thought the competition was superb with the caliber of Indian cowboys that performed in the rodeo.
