Was the call from the race announ
cer during the week of July 8
11th, at the Prineville Horse
Race meet. Fans young and old
filled the grandstands each night
betting on their favorites and
hoping for a good pay-off after
each race. The pay-offs were
pretty good in some races as
some of the longshots came in,
stunning some betters while others
cheered on their horse.
For an evening of relaxation
the races was the place to be
after a hard day at the office.
"Relaxing?" Well the way some
of the fans reacted at each race
its a wonder they didn't have a
heart attack. Their reaction to
the race as the horses rounded
the final turn into the home
stretch, fans were jumping and
yelling on their hopeful. A sure winner, as some of the expert?
would say. . .some times this never happened. There were some
very good races, especially in the Quarter Horse races. Times
turned in could equal almost any track record for the speed they
turned in. Some races were so close it appeared that the horse that
got the jump out of the starting gate was the winner over the field
and almost all races ended in a photo finish, because it waS just
that half a step out over the other horses made the bie difference.
Photo finishes had to determine a lot of the races and sometimes
it took several minutes for the officials to study the photos for the
winner, also for the ones that placed second, third and fourth. A
person could almost tell the favorite among the betters as the race
progressed from start to finish, the expression on their faces, it
was full of joy or a sunken look when the horses crossed the finish
line.
In the longer races ran by the thoroughbreds also thrilled the
betters. The horse that passed the grandstand ahead of the pack
the first time around was not necessarily the winner because thats
when some of the horses were just beginning to get their speed up
and closing the gap on the back stretch and on to the final turn
where the fans start to go wild as all the horses start to bunch up
making their run for the wire.
Horse racing, a favorite sport for many is not all "Peaches 'n'
Cream," like some folks make it out to be. There is a lot of hard
work and expenses involved. Times can get pretty tough for some
of the horse owners if their luck doesn't hold out. Luck, well one
has to have a pretty good horses to keep some bread on his table.
So for the ones who do this for a living make sure that their horses
are in tip-top shape for each race meet and must win, place or show
right along to keep in business. The expense mounts up, "After all
a thoroughbred eats like a horse."
There were several locals entered during the race meet as there
are each year. Some do this for a living while some do this as a past
time. The horse race circuit in the northwest is like another sport
ing event, wins and losses can determine the destiny of a horse
owner.

To the Editor,
At this time I would like to thank
all of those who helped with 4th of
July fireworks.
If it weren't for: Owen Danzuka,
Rodney Mitchell, Casey Jackson,
Leo Hellon and Casey's partner,
the show would of been slower
than it was, and I just want to
express my thanks to these guys.
To make sure that the fireworks
didn't get out of hand, Eire Control
had a pumper nearby, thanks to
them also.
Just about every year, the fire
works crew has some scares, and
we tried our best to make it worth
while. Thanks,
Jerry Sampson

thoughtful and helpful during my
Property auction a great success!
The Tribes' excess property auc

was to dispose of all of the unwantcdi
items in the excess property area.t
This event took place last Sunday
and, in spite of the heat, was able to;
draw many people from out of
town as well as the local folksy
Estimated audience was 1 50 people
with 32 signed up as bidders, some
from as far away as Newport and
Portland.
There were no major incidents
for the I ire and Safety staff was in
attendance. The only situation remote
ly close to a bargain sale riot was at
the table holding the soldering pots
and soldering pen stations. A little
dust was raised as people made
their claim for these items.
time of grief for the loss of my wife,
Alice Lucero.
Thank you for all the help you
gave, especially in the kitchen dur
ing the service and for just being
there. That really helped the family.
We will always remember you all
for your kindness and thoughtful
words of encouragement. You don't
know how much this all helped the
family and I.
Again thank you all. ,-.

The auctioneer (aka Marcia, the
Property Officer) got fried in the
process and the bookkeeper (Scot

into her chair. But the muscleman
of the trio (Warehouse Joe) pulled
through in the end to get everyone's
purchases sorted and loaded. Of
course, he kept his cool by staying

Will the brave and daring trio be
