Spilyqy Tymoo, Wrm Springs, Oregon July 7, 2005 Green has a great day at the rodeo By Brian Mortensen Spiljaj Tymoo If the July 4 weekend is like Christmas to a cowboy, then Casey Green got an early Christ mas present during Pi-Umc-Sha weekend. Green, from Warm Springs, won the Calf Roping event by himself and partnered with Jesse Reese of Warm Springs to win the Team Roping at the Pi-Ume-Sha All-Indian Rodeo at the Warm Springs Indian Grounds June 26. Green, 34, earned at least 750 for his part in two event wins, making him the highest money-winner from the two day rodeo. ' "It's pretty profitable," Green said with a smile. "A good day. Another day in the office." Green was the first, and only one of three cowboys, to earn qualifying marks in calf roping, raising his hands in 9.97 seconds. The next-best mark was the mark by Cort Herrera of Yakima, in 15.07. Green said the small number of qualifying rides over the weekend was due to the sheer scarcity of cowboys who per form in that discipline. "There're just not a lot of them around here that do this," he said. "I do this for a living. I was at rodeos yesterday and the day before (June 24 and 25) in Washington." 1 Jla'CTJ 1 1 1 1 () E3 tfs iis32?rJ!iL 7 ' ... 3 0 Js ;';U ''"V'' ' - ' Bfian MoitwiMiVSpilyay Casey Green, foreground, and partner Jesse Reese, both of Warm Springs, chase down their steer en route to a 7.78 time and victory in the team roping in the Sunday program of the Pi-Ume-Sha All-Indian Rodeo at the Warm Springs Rodeo Grounds. Green also won the calf roping event. Green is in a virtual de for first place in the calf roping in the Columbia River Indian Ro deo Association with I-awrcnce Crawler from Morley, Alberta. Crawler finished third in the event, at 18.41. After taking a no-time in his team roping run with Justin Tom, also of Warm Springs, Green had one last shot to beat the first-place time of 8.25 sec onds by Carson Badonie and Will Badonie, both of Wapato, Wash. With Reese roping the head and Green at the heel, they combined to secure the calf in 7.78 seconds. "I did miss one steer with my one partner, but it worked out okay," he said. Green and Reese's time stood up through two challenges that would have bettered their own time had not rules viola tions marred the efforts. Rick Watlamct and I Icrrcra achieved a time of 7.34 seconds but were penalized 10 seconds for breaking the rope barrier, essentially false starting. Another pair of Warm Springs cowboys, Calvin Bahc and F-dison Yazzic, then regis tered a time that would have taken over the lead, had it counted. They managed to rope only one of the calf's legs at the heel, for a 12.15 time, which was good for third. In addition to his high rank ing in the Columbia River In dian circuit, he's had some suc cess in the northwest pro rodeos. "I've had a good summer," he said. "I'm No. 2 in the team roping standings and No. 3 in the calf-roping standings (in the northwest circuit)." Freddy Warbonnet of White Swan, Wash., won in bareback riding with a 76 score, as Brad Parrish was the only other rider to stay on for the necessary eight seconds, scoring a 73. Parrish scored a 67 to win the saddle bronc competition, though. Maryanne Frazicr won the ladies barrel racing, with a time of 18.63 seconds, followed by Courtney Frazier's 18.78. Courtney Frazier, though, won the ladies breakaway rop ing in 4.01 seconds. Colleen Crawler, of Morley, was second in 5.47, and Shannon Adams of Yakima was third in 5.80. Roger Fiander and Herrera won the century team roping event, in which the age of both ropers must equal at least 100 total years, in 8.47, and Junior Sampson and John LaVallie were second on 10.00. In the junior events, Anthony Blueback of Warm Springs won with a 62 score, beating Trevor Sampson of White Swan, Wash., who had 56 in the ride just before Blucback's, and Kayonie Badonie won the jun ior barrel racing in 19.87 sec onds. In the Thurman Squiemphen Memorial Wild I lorse Race, the Rod Begay team won as the only team to successfully saddle and ride the horse to victory. The Vern Squiemphen team had saddled its horse first but could not coax the horse to negotiate the pole before its rider fell. At the close of the week, Green planned to hitch his horse trailer with plans to make six rodeos over the holiday weekend. "The Fourth of July is what they call the Cowboy Christ mas," he said. "If you can get to as many as you can enter, it's a big payoff. "It's all on the coastal side. We'll start in Sedro Woolley, up by the Canadian border, then we'll end up in LaPine, and we'll start Friday."
