Heppner G azette-Tim es, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, September 21 ,201 1 Angel Crosthwaite wins regional team roping championship A local roper was a big winner during the recent United States Team Rop ing (USTRC) West Coast R egional C ham pionship Finals held September 8-11 in Paso Robles, Calif. Angel T Crosthwaite o f Heppner, Ore., was the winner in the #11 Shoot-O ut division, defeating 66 other teams with partner Jill E Johnson o f N ew C uyam a, C alif. The duo roped four steers in 36.81 seconds to earn an $8,000 paycheck from the $16,262 total purse,along with custom Martin trophy saddles. Team roping is a tim ed event that requires a team effort. A team is made up o f a“header” and a “ heeler” . The h ead er’s jo b is to catch the steer around the horns, and then set it up by turning it across the arena. The heeler then rides in and ropes the steer around both hind legs. The clock is stopped when thes- teer is secured between both ropers and their horses are facing each other. M uch like in the sport o f golf, ropers are handicapped or receive a classification rating based on their skill level and com petitive ability. Ropers can be classified from a #1 to a #10, depending on their roping position and abil ity. The added total o f both roping partners handicaps determines their division- eligibility. For example, if the division is a #11, the total rating for both ropers cannot equal more than 11, with some divisions requir ing a handicap floor. The West C oast Regional Cham pionships was the final among seven Regional Finals to take place across the U.S. throughout the summer and included a purse o f $182,000 along w ith $77,000 in p rizes, including 22 Martin Sad dles and Gist Silversmiths buckles. Also held during the regional finals was a prelim inary roping event that allows ropers to qualify for the U S T R C -branded “Shoot Out” finals division for each classification. A total o f 936 teams competed in the event w ith ropers hailing from 10 states. Offering an esti mated combined total of $2 million in cash and prizes, Regional Finals events are a stepping-stone leading to the USTRC Cinch National Finals o f Team Roping in Oklahoma City, Okla., Oc tober 22-30. An estimated purse o f m ore than $4.5 million in cash and prizes will be on the table for the taking at the event expected to attract more than 3,000 teams. The USTRC ap proves more than 85 team roping events across the U nited States, attracting ropers from bordering Mex ico and Canada, as well as other countries. - THREE Morrow County Historical Society meeting Oct. 2 major mission is to preserve book captured many sto The annual m eet ing o f the Morrow County Historical Society will be held on Sunday, O ctober 2, at 1:30 pm. at the St. Patrick’s Senior Center in Heppner.

W ell-known author and historian Susan Doyle will give a presenta tion on Oregon Trail fami lies whose historic struggles brought them to Oregon. “ T h e M o rro w County Historical Society was organized in 1974. Its the history o f events and stories o f county residents who are the fabric o f this area. Too often important pieces o f our history are lost,” said a society spokes- peron. The recently pub lished 2011 Chronicles that sells for $5 is now avail able at banks, the museum and M urray’s Drug store. “ The stories capture the diversity o f the people and the co u n ty ’s topography that stretches from the Co lumbia River to peaks o f the Blue Mountains. It’s a fascinating read with high lights about some veterans to facts detailing with nu merous, small sawmills and country school houses that once were an important seg ment o f Morrow County.” The dedication o f H istorical Society m em bers, some o f whom are no longer living, resulted in a large county history book in 1983. This hardcover ries about past and present residents. How ever there are still many citizens, both old and new ones, whose stories have not been re corded. The continuation o f a Chronicles booklet each year focuses on recording those stories. “ Everyone who has lived in Morrow County leaves footprints. Public input is needed to help record those stories.” For more informa tion contact Don Eppen- bach, 541-922-3197; Louis Carlson 541-676 -5382; or Andrea Nelson at 541 -989- 8188.
