County represented at Rose parade
Blazer loss
disappointing
to local fan
Pat Sweeney of Heppner was one
of the lucky 12 thousand able to get
tickets to the Portland Trail Blazers
NBA finals game held June 10
against the Detroit Pistons.
“ It was kind of a disappoint
ment,” said Sweeney. “ I don’t
know what happened.” The Blazers
lost, 121 to 106.
“ Detroit hadn't won a game at the
Coliseum since 1984,” added
Sweeney. “ I guess they're due.”
Sweeney said that the game was
a “ typical Blazer game,” with a
sellout crowd of almost 13,000 peo
ple. He said that there were throngs
of people and that “ it was a little
hectic on Sunday with the Rose
Festival going on at the same time.”
He said it was amazing how quickly
the festival atmosphere subsided
when it became apparent that the
Blazers were going to lose. “ I think
Portland's going to come back for
the next two,” he added.
Sweeney said that Marvin Padberg
of lone also attended Sunday’s
game.

The Morrow County Fair and
Rodeo Court returned home from
the Portland Rose Festival Grand
Floral Parade with an impressive
third place ribbon in the equestrian
division. Competing against 42 other
groups, Queen Judy Jepsen and
Princesses Dana Flanagan, Tricia
Coe, And Stacie Henry finished
behind just two other groups, the
court from Mollala Buckeroo and the
court from the Pendleton Round-Up.
This is only the second appearance
by a Morrow County Court in the
Grand Floral Parade in recent years
and a first time to place.
Before the parade, the court was
judged on numerous criteria in
cluding floral decorations, attire,
tack and equipment, and the condi
During the performance, showman
ship and manners of the horse were
judged. The girls arrived for the pre
parade judging shortly after 6 a.m.
and spent from 7:30-11:30 on
horseback—and on display. The
parade actually started at 10 a.m.
The Morrow County Court was
positioned behind the Sweepsteaks-
winning Float, “ Red Roses for the
Queen,” sponsored by Meier and
Frank. Following them was the
Glencoe High School Band and the
Portland Trailblazer float, a float that
created quite a stir in a city over
come by Blazermania.
The Grand Floral Parade was
televised in 15 states and was ex
pected to reach 23.3 million TV
households. Commentators were

“ It was a neat experience,” says

neat,” she said. She also said that
their horses behaved very well
despite the nearly 400,000 spectators

vous moment when they rode
through the Memorial Coliseum but
the horses settled down and they
made it out in good shape.
According to Queen Judy, the
parade was mo different from any
other parade once it got under way-
-just bigger and more ornate.

We were discussing hunting loads
and ballistics over the steady putter of
a 10-horse outboard kicker on a
sleek, 20-foot aluminum jet sled when
the fish hit.
“ There he is,” I grunted, believing
the fish to be a big, early-run summer
steelhead, and a perfect specimen to
photograph for a national magazine ar
ticle I was working on.
I was pulling Hot Shots in major
tributaries of the mid-Columbia River
with long-time friend and fishing per-
sonality Buzz Ramsey of the Luhr Jensen tackle manufacturing company.
Ramsey, who is known nationwide for his ability to find and catch river-
run steelhead and salmon, had been deftly steering the small outboard with
his feet to guide the big boat from pocket to pocket, placing our back-
trolled lures in the most productive fish-holding areas.
After relieving my reel of many yards of 14-pound-tesl line, the fish
broke the surface about 100 feet downstream.
“ You know, Mark, I think that’s a salmon,” Buzz said. “ There’s still
quite a few spring chinooks coming in around here.”
He was right; a few minutes later we quickly photographed and releas
ed a bright, eight-pound spring chinook. Another pass through the area
netted similar results (as soon as we had begun to talk about hunting again),
but this time we beached a beautiful 16-pounder. I don ' often get to catch,
or even fish for salmon. From that point on, it was difficult to concentrate
on my steelhead assignment.
By the time this is printed, the mid-Columbia-area tributaries should be
an excellent spot for eastern Oregon anglers to take advantage of an ex
citing double take. The Hood River in Oregon and the Wind. Big White
Salmon and Klickitat on the Washington side all have increasing numbers
of early-run summer steelhead in them right now, and although the salmon
run is past its peak, many still hold fair numbers of spring chinook. Those
who hold or are considering the purchase of a Washington license and
steelhead/salmon tag should note that while the Klickitat River has recently
been closed to salmon angling due to poor runs, the season on the Wind
River near Stevenson has been extended as the result of exceptional numbers
of spring chinook.
Closer to home, summer steelhead are expected to show at any time
on the Deschutes River, while anglers there are reportedly still taking spring
chinook near Sherar Falls.
According to Ramsey, the spring run of salmon to the Columbia River
are among the most highly sought, due to the quality of table fare they offer.
“ Historically, spring salmon swam upriver through the spring runoff
and held over in the deep, cold-water holes of the Columbia’s tributaries
all summer long and spawned in the fall—about the same time as other
salmon runs-so, basically, the only difference between the spring-run
chinook and the other runs is just timing.
“ Then, of course, you have summer-run chinook, which is just an ex
tension of the same type of fish,” he continued, “ and then comes the fall-
chinook run. But because the spring chinook come in so much earlier,
they have the most stored oils and the most body protein, and therefore
are the best eating.”
