embers stayed aglow in round
two, when their 5.4-second run
placed them fourth in that
round. But it looked like his
dreams were going up in
smoke when in round three
Hurley missed the steer with
both loops and took the team
out of the average race.
Hurley's dream appeared all
but extinguished when the
team failed to place in rounds
four and five, but a tiny ember
lay quiet until a gust of wind
sparked it. From round six on
out it was a wildfire in a 100
mile an hour windstorm.
Hurley and Bach went on a
tear, sharing first-place money
in the final five rounds.
“ After the first five rounds,
we knew what we had to do.
But I'm surprised it worked,"
said Hurley, a native of
Clarksville, Ark., who now
lives in Ceres, Calif. “ You lay
there in bed and think, 'What
if we could win five in a row?'
But then you realize that's not
possible aginst the top 15 teams
in the world." Hurley and Bach
proved it is, indeed, possible.
The team tied with Matt Tyler
and Steve Northcott for the
round-six victory, then in
credibly won the final four
rounds. By the ninth round,
Hurley, who had entered the
rodeo in fourth place an unlike
ly candidate for a world
title, appeared a credible threat
for the gold buckle.
Season Leaders Tee
Woolman and Rich Skelton
kept the pressure on until the
end, placing in the final round
with their 5.0-second run. Then
Hurley and Bach stepped up,
the last team of the rodeo.
When the flag dropped, all
eyes in the place met at the
Copenhagen Skoal Scoreboard
to see 4.5 seconds.
Bach wasn't bitter about
finishing as the runner-up after
contributing 50 percent to
Hurley's phenomenal finals. In
1990, header Doyle Gellerman
was the one who helped Bach
to his second world title but
didn't share in the world-
championship glory.
“ I'm happier now than I was
then," said Bach, 36, of Merc
ed, Calif. “To help Bobby is a
great feeling, it really is. I've
roped with every header there
is and I've never seen anybody
rope like Bobby did tfris week.
It was incredible. He was in a
zone. You always dream of get
ting on a hot streak. Bobby rode
the barrier as hard as he could
every time. He turned the last
seven in a row as fast as you
can turn a steer."

A new adult foster care home
for elderly women will open in
Heppner on Sept. 1. The foster
care home, named 'Hill House'
and operated by Nella Britt, is
licensed for five ambulatory
people, which can include one
semi-ambulatory resident. Hill
House is not licensed for bed
ridden people. The home will
provide the residents' meals,
including special diets, laun
dry, assistance with medica
tion, and transportation to ap
pointments. Britt says she
hopes to work closely with
medical personnel and all
medication will be coordinated
through the resident's
physician.
Hill House, located at 515
Chase Street, will provide a
home-like atmosphere, says
Britt. "It's not going to be an
institution," she says. “It's go
ing to be their home." Britt
says that Hill House will have
a 'house cat' and she en
courages families and friends of
residents, including children,
to visit. She says that the
residents will have no set bed
time and will be encouraged to
do what they can for
themselves. She says that they
will also have a flower and
vegetable garden for the
residents.
In addition to a full-time
assistant and a full-time
manager, Britt plans to have an
activities director who can help
with exercise, crafts, cooking,
special events and holidays.
Britt's daughters will also be in
