PACE 6 August 14, 1987 Warm Springs, Oregon SpjlyayTymoo Spilyaty Tymoo cq47 SPORTS Little guys rodeo held at He He The kids have their day at the lie He Mill rodeo during the huckleb erry feast. Two days of rodeo where they all had fun trying their luck riding those frisky little calves and cows. There were kids of all ages par ticipating, some making their first attempt to stay aboard these wiley little critters. While: sme were brush ing up on their skills and correcting mistakes they made on prior rides at other pce-wee rodeos. For those who made their first ride some had second thoughts of becoming a rodeo cowboy, while others it gave them all the more determination to stay aboard the next attempt. Some good prospects for better things down the road were shown from some of the young future cowboys. Some people wonder why riders have a big bell on their bull ropes, some clowns will tell you that it is to keep the rider awake during the Sports Informational meeting set A fall sports informational meet ing will be held Monday, August 24 beginning at 7:30 p.m. at Mad ras H igh School cafeteria. All inte rested parents and students are encouraged to attend. ride, but that is not true, the main purpose is after the rider leaves the bulls back the bell pulls the rope off the bull. The clown, the funny man in the rodeo arena, one who keeps the crowd entertained during slack periods during the rodeo, he plays an important role during the bull riding event. Some of those big bulls can get pretty mad and nasty during the rodeo and are ready to mangle anything in sight and they usually go after the fallen rider. This is where the clown comes lying on the ground. It is very dan gerous and several clowns have been severly injured during the bull riding events, as they take the bull away from the rider in a fashion to entertain the crowd, many times getting themselves hurt in the pro cess, but they show no pain until after the show when no one can see them. A lot of ace bandage and linament is used to keep a clown in the arena for another day. Some people say that a person must not be in his right mind to want to ride a bull, and many more agree, but its the life of a cowboy, the challenge of man against beast. Majority of the time the beast comes out the victor. Rodeo is considered the roughest sport today. No matter what event it is in the arena a cowboy or cowgirl can get injured real bad. As the young cowboys are learn ing to ride and rope many of them vision participating in the Cheyenne Frontier Days rodeo, the Calgary Stampede, the Pendleton Round Up. the Cow Palace and many many more of the big rodeos of today. For those who make it, they make it through a lot of bumps and bruises and along the way. So with the little britches rodeos give the little guys a taste of what to expect from rodeos in the future. Each year there is something new added to the fun rodeo at He He Mill during the huckleberry feast. This year is was a baton relay race of a team consisting of four riders to a team stationed out at stations around the He He Butte with the winner coming into the arena to win the race. There were three teams entered this year and proba bly next there will be more. There was the Heath team, the Scott team, and the Squiemphen team. The Squiemphen team was out in front coming into the arena but just as they came to the gate their horse ducked back and the Scott team passed them up entered the arena to win the race. Next year there are plans for a better rodeo for the little guys. 1 J, v i:i.ih..; ' A v-j . :" . : 'tTTt Y .. ..." .A 2T-- V" Children gain swim skills during classes SpUvav Tymoo photo by Ltno-Btktr JoelFlorendo showed he has what it takes to ride in the annual II el I e cowdeo fun.

Many take swim classes, tests The Warm Springs Recreation program would like to also note the students who took part in and completed the summer swimming classes. At this time the program has a 35 percent success rate, which means that of 200 participants, 70 finished the classes and took the final swimming tests. According to Lyle Rhoan, recreation director, many of the kids spent a lot of time attending the classes but for some reason they didn't take the tests. He was not sure what reasons many of the kids had for not com pleting as he was certain that most of the kids would have passed quite easily. The summer swim program encou rages young people to learn basic water skills and water survival skills. Rhoan said it is important to teach all children to be "drown proof." He said the program will be pre sented again next summer with an emphasis on havinga great number of youngsters completing the classes. Students given recognition are: Lucinda Tufti.
