Youngsters attending the bicycle rodeo at the County
Fairgrounds this week in Heppncr not only enjoyed
maneuvering on the variety of courses but had their
"wheels" inspected by a tough team of judges who turned
out to be mostly sympathetic. Making sure the bicycles were
equipped safely and able to withstand punishment were (left
to right) Chuck Holt (back to camera), Heppner Police
Officer; Ken Miller, manager of 1st National Bank and
Heppner Police Chief Dean Oilman. The inspection tests and
riding exam was comparable to Oregon Motor Vehicle
Department testing.

The Motor Vehicle Division
said in a news release this
week that people applying for
a first-time Oregon driver's
license must be better drivers
to pass but if last week's series
of bike rodeos held in Morrow
County is any indication, the
next generation of drivers will
be ready.
' And the operator test may
be more difficult with the
youthful bicyclists having to
negotiate figure eights without
falling off their bikes, running
between two parallel lines,
dodging cones like those small
car commercials on televis
ion, giving the correct hand
signals again without falling
off or hitting cardboard boxes
and attempting to balance the
two wheelers in a slow race.
The Morrow County Juve
nile Advisory Committee and
VFW Post No. 4184 and their
auxiliary sponsored the
rodeos at four places this
week, Irrigon Marina, Board
man Marina, lone High School
and Heppner Fairgrounds,
drawing the largest turnout
from Heppner.
While their mothers watch
ed, the youngsters lined up one
by one as Coordinator Chuck
Holt, a police officer for the
city of Heppner issued in
structions. Holt climbed on
one of the low-to-the-ground
bicycles and negotiated the
figure eight course, managing
to guide the front wheels
safely through the course.
It was a snap for most of the
cyclists except for one boy
who had some problems in
balancing his two-wheeler.
But he kept on trying and with
encouragement from Holt and
others, completed each phase
of the course.
Then came the hand-signalling
course with some
amusing but still dangerous
examples of what not to do.
Each boy or girl was instruct
ed to give a left turn, right
turn and stop signal with his
arm. Some raised their arms
briefly, and moved them
quickly back to the handle
bars; some forgot to signal a
left turn and others scored
perfect.
County Juvenile Judge D.O.
Nelson, also a judge at
Thursday's rodeo in Heppner
had to smile when one of the
bicyclists struck the card
board box without thinking to
signal.
One boy said he could now
ride on the street with his first
experience at signalling but
pointed out that Officer Holt
wouldn't let him.
And the bicycle safety check
seemed more comprehensive
than many state motor vehicle
inspections. The inspecting
officials checked for a loose
front wheel and had each
cyclist test his brakes by
coming to a full stop. Jim
Launer of the VFW Post,
applied phosphorescent tape
to each bike for easy identifi
cation at night.
Several gift certificates
from Heppner were awarded
to the bicyclists from Hep
pner, lone and Lexington.
Receiving certificates were
