Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, March 18,2009 - FIVE
Road Bowling winners announced
Realizing the w is
dom in the Irish wish that
"‘the wind be always at your
back,” the eight teams o f
road bow lers on Sunday re
versed the direction planned
for their bowling action on
Balm Fork. By following
the 1.3-mile course down
stream, the wind was, in
deed, at their backs, remov
ing what would have been
an uncomfortable headwind
challenge from the already
challenging activity.
"I don’t think these
hardy participants even once
com plained about the in
clement weather,” reported
the organizer, who did have
to add that she followed the
action from inside a pickup
with the windows rolled up.
Maybe a grumble now and
then could be heard when
even the best laid plans
went astray and tosses re
sulted in bowls rolling under
barbed w ire fences. At least
one bowler who retrieved
a team m ate's toss needed
first aid for a cut on his hand
from the w ire.
The honor o f being
lead-off team went to Turner
and Tomas (K en Turner,
Tomas Elguezabal). They
and a new team right be
hind them, 2 Wrights (Tim,
Leann), finished the course
and disappeared, apparently
