Two competitors head for master showman competition
The first kickoff event
of the 2012 Morrow C ounty
Fair season was the 4-H
horse show, held at the
fairgrounds in Heppner on
July 15.
Four horse 4-H mem
bers were there, ready to
compete and show their
stuff. The morning started
with a judge's meeting for
the members, explaining
to the members what the
judge expected and would
like to see.
The first class was
showmanship, which is a
halter class focusing on
what kind of ground man
ners the kids have learned
along with their horses.
Next, the group moved to
western equitation, which
is a class on how well the
kids can ride and make their
animals maneuver through
a pre-set pattern.
Another test was the
trail course, which is set up

On Aug. 2, ODFW

radio-collared a w olf of
the Snake River Pack. This
was the first collar for this
pack.
The 49-pound male
pup was in excellent con
dition and was o f a size
which could easily handle
the lightweight VHF col
lar. The collar will allow
ODFW to monitor the pack
in this remote portion of
Oregon.
A July 25 survey found
that the Snake River pack
has at least three pups. Pho
like an obstacle course, re
quiring both horse and rider
to work together in order to
accomplish certain, specific
tasks. On the lighter side,
4-H horse members got
to participate in gaming
events like barrel racing,
a flag race, a keyhole race,
pole bending, and a figure
eight race.
English riding events
are available; however,
there were no entries this
year.
After a fun-packed day,
w hen the dust settled, there
were two members who
stood above the others. This
year, two members and two
horses will participate in the
Master Showman contest...
something that has not hap
pened in a few years.
The two girls competing
in Master Showman during
the fair are members of the

Two lost pets have
happy endings
Chelsea
Almost everyone is fa
miliar with the sight of “lost
pet" posters on telephone
poles and post office bulle
tin boards. Rarely, though,
do we hear what Paul Har
vey would have called, “The
rest of the story,” regarding
these missing pets.
' ' That isn't the case this
week.
Two lost pets from
south Morrow County have
made their way home this
week thanks to the kindness
of strangers.
The first is a female
blue merle Australian shep
herd lost by the Nance
family of Rhea Creek. They
lost the dog, Chelsea, last
Sunday. They last saw her
between Ritter Road, turn
off to Penland Lake Rd. and
Willow Creek Rd. They im
mediately started canvass
ing friends and neighbors
and circulating posters.
The story took a happy
turn when the Nances re
ceived a call from a wom
an at Cutsforth Park who
had recognized the dog. A
young family had found
Chelsea by the side of the
road and taken her home
with them to Hermiston,
where she waited for her
family to retrieve her.
The second found pet
is a polydactyl (many-toed)
tabby kitten named Cy, who
belongs to the Di Salvo fam
ily. The kitten went missing
last Tuesday. The family,
who lives on a farm outside
of Lexington, searched ev
erywhere before resigning
themselves to having lost
Cy forever.
That is, they were re
signed until Andrea Di Sal
vo walked into a back room
at H ow e’s About Pizza
Monday morning. She saw
what she thought was a
kitten who looked like Cy.
Upon closer examination,
she realized it was, indeed.
Cy...a fact given away by
the extra toes on the kitten’s
feet. Ron Howe had found
her in the pizzeria’s park
ing lot and placed her in a
storage room—away from
the food—hoping an owner
would come looking for the
friendly little cat.
How Cy traveled the
12 miles from her home to
Howe's remains open to
speculation. What is impor
tant to her family is that she
is now safe at home.. .where
they hope she'll stay.
