Round-Up PRCA Certification a Big Deal SUBMITTED PHOTO
Lake County Round-Up’s affiliation with the Professional Cowboy Rodeo Association (PRCA) in 2014 brings an added level of competition and thrills to this year’s events.
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lake County’s annual Round-Up, entering its 95th year, will for the first time be sanctioned as a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) Pro Rodeo when festivities begin Labor Day weekend. “Being a PRCA event will bring a better show and more professionals all around,” said Round-Up Pres. Clark Maxwell. “It came to a point where we had been a sleeper rodeo for a long time, we have a great atmosphere and it was time to make the step forward.” PRCA affiliation and the Lake County Fairgrounds’ geographic location in Lakeview provides a unique opportunity
for the Round-Up, qualifying for sanctioning of three different regional circuits. Due to the PRCA affiliation and qualifying circuits, Maxwell estimates around 250 competitors should arrive in Lakeview for the two-day event Aug. 31 to Sept. 1., including several local PRCA-competitors who have been unable to participate in the Round-Up previously. While often considered so far off the beaten path that it is a detriment, for once the tables turn making Lakeview a lucrative locale. “We’re in a unique spot, we can sanction with the Columbia River circuit, California Circuit and Wilderness Circuit for Nevada,” said Maxwell. “It gives us an added draw because cowboys can compete for each of their circuit’s standing, some
will go on to the national finals in Las Vegas, but most are just competing in their regional circuit.” It’s not just an increase in the numbers and level of competition as a result of PRCA affiliation, with increased competition comes added stakes. The cash prizes will be increased from year’s past, thanks largely to tremendous support from local corporate sponsors bringing in larger donations than any previous year in the 95-year history of the Round-Up. Also the ante is upped with a higher quality of horses and bulls for the event adding to the overall quality of rodeo performances to be on display, according to Maxwell. So many riders are expected that a slack performance, comprised of overflow competi-
tors from the main events, will be held Monday morning Sept. 1 starting at 9 a.m. before the Labor Day parade commences at 10 a.m. PRCA sanctions nearly 600 rodeos across North America, with almost $38.8 million dollars in prize money awarded over 1,700 performances. There are more than 5,000 pro members and nearly 2,000 permit-holding contestants pursuing the dream of becoming pro rodeo members. While not the only PRCA event taking place Labor Day weekend, the PRCA affiliation with the Lake County RoundUp is a big deal, adding a whole new level of thrills, chills and spills to an already memorable experience.

Funding scholarship with Sweet Treats By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
At the fair, Sweet Treats will be available to offer cold dishes such as ice cream, milkshakes, smoothies and cotton candy. Not only will the icy treats help guests cool off but will also help student athletes play in their desired sport. Sweet Treats will be donating profits from what the stand sells on Sunday, Aug. 31 toward the Jay Lamb Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship’s namesake is a Lakeview High graduate who coached and played football in college and always had a love of sports and kids playing them. Lamb would go to athletic tournaments and anonymously donate to students to guarantee they would have the proper equipment to participate. Six years ago, Lamb sadly died in a plane crash, but his spirit of giving still lives on in the scholarship that was set up by his parents, Bud and Alma. Donna Kness, Lamb’s sisterin-law, owns the Sweet Treats

stand and is happy to give toward such a worthy cause. Although the scholarship is in its ninth year, Kness said, “I’m not sure how aware people are about it.” Lakeview High School principal Steve Prock said the scholarship assists students who find it difficult to pay for the participation fee. The scholarship covers 50 percent of the fee for every eligible student from grades 9-12. Over the years the funds have also contributed to the gym’s sound system and when football helmets were in need. “It’s a great program,” Prock said. He explained that the scholarship is closely looked over by the Lamb family who still reside in the area. “We enjoy working with the Lamb family on this meaningful scholarship,” he said. Make sure to stop by Sweet Treats at the fair to cool down, especially on Sunday where the money spent will go further to help Lakeview athletes stay involved.

Maxwell 2014 Round-Up President

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner It is difficult to find a family with deeper roots in Lake County or closer ties to the Round-Up than the Maxwell’s, and this year Clark Maxwell carries on the family tradition as 2014 Round-Up president. Since his great-grandfather’s move to Lake County in 1878, ranching and the western lifestyle has been in the blood. Clark becomes the fourth generation of Round-Up presidents, with his greatuncle William Hotchkiss (1947), great-uncle Don Hotchkiss (1951), uncle Dennis Flynn (1990), father Larry Maxwell (1992) and cousin Ron Hotchkiss (1996) all carrying on the presidential honor in past Round-Up’s. Also his sister Jody Graham was Round-Up Queen in 1989, as well as his cousin Sue Hotchkiss in 1963. Past and present, the Maxwell’s close association with the Round-Up endures. His father Larry continues to be actively involved in the event, his mom is involved with Round-Up apparel, and his wife Melissa also helps out extensively. Clark hopes that his kids will someday continue the family legacy. “It’s my turn I guess,” Clark humbly said regarding the longstanding family tradition. “I’ve had jobs with the Round-Up since I first got on the board years ago.” Maxwell grew up on the family ranch, participating in the Round-Up each year, some of his earliest memories being behind the chutes. A Lakeview High School graduate, he returned to Lakev-

iew in 2000 after completing his degree at Oregon State University and three years in the Midwest working for IBP (Tyson). While Maxwell has plenty of experience around the Round-Up, his role as president this year is uncharted territory with all the changes planned, among them a new roping arena that Clark and Larry have been constructing in preparation of Round-Up. “This year has been different than most because we went with a whole new sanctioning on the rodeo and tried to step it up in more ways than one,” explained Maxwell. “We’ve pushed a lot of different avenues to promote, we’ve virtually turned it on its head. We also took on portions of the horse show for fans and competitors for team branding and doctoring.” There are many reasons for enjoying Round-Up and the surrounding festivities for Maxwell. He enjoys the traditions of the empty saddle ceremony, the Labor Day parade, the rodeo competition, reunions and other social opportunities. “To me it is the celebration of the year,” said Maxwell. “Lake County ranchers and farmers have tons of summer work, this is the turning point when the work is done and now it’s time to have some fun. It comes down to a matter of pride, both in yourself and the community. It’s a celebration of community and friendship.” Clark and his wife Melissa have two children, Miles and Cara.

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner This year’s Lake County Round-Up Queen rides solo with no princesses on the court for support, but for 2014 Queen Katherine McKenzie carrying on the tradition and western heritage is what’s most important to her. A veteran of the Round-Up having served as a princess in 2013 and Lake County Junior Rodeo princess in 2011, the RoundUp is the culmination of tireless work on her part to promote the rodeo and represent Lake County. “Even though it’s my third time it still means a lot,” said McKenzie. “It seems like rodeo isn’t as big of a deal as it was when I was young, it’s died down a little, so being able to keep it going means a lot. It’s very important to our community.” It’s understandable that McKenzie
Queen Katherine McKenzie a veteran of the Round-Up having served as a princess in 2013 and Lake County Junior Rodeo princess in 2011, will carry on the tradition and western heritage at this year’s Round-Up. would be passionate about representing western culture, having lived it her whole life. She grew up on the family ranch in Plush, attending Round-Up every year. The daughter of Jeff McKenzie and Roseanne Fitzgerald, she has two brothers, Colin, 23 and Daniel, 22. Her aunt Paula Fitzgerald was a Round-Up Princess, as was her cousin Sharon Sue Fitzgerald. McKenzie is a senior at Lakeview High School, where she excels in sports and the classroom. She plays volleyball and basketball, is active in 4-H and student council, and is president of the National Honor Society. “It really is an honor, I’m very proud of it,” said McKenzie of becoming Round-Up Queen. “We represent Lake County, it goes beyond just riding a horse, we promote the
rodeo, sell tickets and participate in events. Especially this year because so much will be different, it’s important I spread the word.” While there is much to enjoy about the festivities, it still remains the competitions that McKenzie looks forward to the most. “I like the branding the most, that’s my favorite part,” she said. “I especially like watching local people I know roping. But the whole thing is great, after the ranchers are done working we show off everything we’ve done, I see a lot of my friends and we have fun before school starts again. Even though it’s PRCA now so there won’t be as many local people in it, there’s still the Warner Valley bronc riding to showcase what we do.”

Benny Beaver to entertain at Fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
SUBMITTED PHOTO
OSU’s lovable mascot, Benny Beaver, will be available at the Lake County Fair for photos and other special duties.
Benny Beaver will be showing his trademark buckteeth and flat tail at the Lake County fair this year. The OSU mascot will be trotting about the fairgrounds on Saturday’s 4-H and FFA’s family day for free photo opportunities and other events. He will be assisting in facilitating a tug-of-war on the pavilion at 4:30 p.m. presented by the Lake County Mentor program. He will also be present in the 4-H and FFA sale where livestock buyers can see all the kids together. If you are able to stop by the OSU booth near the 4-H office at other times, he will be handing out OSU swag for any fair-goers. According to Jamie Davis, 4-H, Family and Community Health Program Coordinator, Benny will be visiting one-third of all the fairs in Oregon and his attendance at Lake County’s fair is because the
OSU extension office jumped on the opportunity to host the mascot. “There isn’t much opportunity for Lake County residents to go to Beaver games or get a picture with him if they go,” Davis said. “This is a pretty neat opportunity for people in the county to have.” Benny has a rich history with OSU and its culture. Beginning in 1908, “The Beaver” title was used as the school newspaper’s title and later as the yearbook title in 1916. Benny’s name came from a photograph of OSU students standing next to a beaver statue that was inscribed as “Benny Beaver” in the 1942 yearbook but didn’t officially become the mascot until 1945. The first performance at an athletic event from the mascot was in 1952. Co-mascot, Bernice Beaver, joined the OSU team sometime in the early 1980s and mid-1900s.

Youth Mentors host family day at fair By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lake County Youth Mentor Program (LCYMP) provides a wide variety of fun activities for all ages year round, but especially true at this year’s Lake County Fair with the organization of Family Day at the fair. Starting at 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 30, LCYMP’s annual Family Day provides a variety of free games for all ages, with prizes up for grabs for all participants. This will be the third year of Family Day, which features games like gunny sack races, a tug of war, threelegged races, an egg toss and much more. In previous years events like watermelon seed spitting, water balloon tosses, egg relays, and hula hoop contests have been held. Judging the tug-of-war competition this year will be none other than Oregon State University’s lovable mascot, Benny Beaver. Participation in the events are free and whole families are encouraged to compete, with the activities open to anyone. Grand prizes to be given out include food booth tickets, fair carnival ride wrist bands and other tokens. In previ-
ous years as many as 60-80 people have competed in the Family Day games with plenty planned to keep people occupied and laughing for hours. No registration is necessary to compete, just show up and be ready to have fun. Events will be organized at the gazebo on the south lawn of the fairgrounds. The Lake County Youth Mentor Program works to maximize the potential of local kids through the one-on-one pairing with a mentor. Many activities are organized throughout the year to provide opportunities to learn, challenge and have fun while helping kids reach their academic and social potential. The youth mentor program was established four years ago through grants acquired by the Lake County Education Service District, with over 90 county youth actively participating in the program. Its positive impact has been obvious, with results showing an increase in academic success for mentor program participants. It serves as a benefit for the mentors too, providing an opportunity to see the world through younger eyes and getting a chance to be a kid again according to Lake County Youth Mentor Program Exec. Dir. Kathy Miles. Re-

This complementary arena will help spread out the rodeo activities to give a little more breathing space for the competitors.
New complementary arena to provide more space When the Round-Up rolls around every fair it creates quite an amount of commotion around the Lake County fairgrounds grandstands in particular. To combat the arena congestion that the Round-Up and western events cause, a supplemental arena will be in place to house other rodeo competitions. Although the new arena has been planned for quite a few years, it only came together within the past month to be completed just in time for the festivities. The 588 feet long and 150 feet wide arena will be located on the west end of the main arena and adjusted to fit inside the

existing horse track. It will be used for Team Roping on Saturday and for roping on Sunday and Monday. Both of the roping events on Saturday and Sunday, are ACTRA qualifiers. With this special qualification, a new group of ropers should be attracted to Lake County. Al three days are open to all ropers. And when the Round-Up is over, the arena will be able to be used for Team Roping, Horse show and other riding events at later dates. “It’s been something that we have been wanting to do for the arena for different events in other arenas,” said Neil Flynn,
Round-Up director since 1991 and past president. “We just haven’t had enough room with just one arena.” Flynn gives credit to current Round-Up president, Clark Maxwell, and his crew for putting in the majority of the grunt work. Maxwell’s final touches are to lay out the top dirt and finish up the welding of the fences. They are also eyeing to borrow the Little League park bleachers for fair attendees to have a place to sit as they enjoy the man versus beast sports. Overall, the additional arena will complement and streamline the rodeo. This way the events in the new space will
be out of the way for the roping events and setting up the Dustin Lynch concert and further rodeo activities. Flynn said that putting together a new arena is a lot of hard work and much scramble, but he believes it will all come together in time for the fun to begin. For Saturday’s roping, entry must be by 8:45 a.m. with a 9 a.m. planned start time. It is an 8 draw pot and 5 ride in. On Sunday and Monday entry is by 7:45 a.m. and is an 8 draw pot, with a 8 a.m. start time. Let the fun begin!

Lynch and Comstock teepee wedding Page 20 — Wednesday, August 27, 2014, LAKE COUNTY EXAMINER, 2014 Lake County Fair & Round-Up
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
To add onto the Labor Day weekend festivities, Carol Lynch and Ray Comstock have decided to tie the knot in the midst of carnivals, rodeos and livestock. The couple will be getting married in front of a 26-foot teepee on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 3 p.m. at the Historical Village. The teepee has been in the Comstock family for 30 years and has never been set up in Lakeview. Lynch said her and her husbandto-be’s heritage runs clear back to the Blackfoot tribe, making the teepee backdrop an homage to their ancestry that stretches way, way back. Lynch and Comstock made the decision to tie up a few loose ends before purchasing additional lots around their home in Lakeview. For them, it is a necessity to make these legal transactions run smoother, so determined to have fun while they’re at it. The couple has been together

for five years and this marriage is not their first. “It’s just another step in our life,” Lynch said. “It’s not like your first wedding where you’re twitter-pated.” The couple is not going “all out” for their nuptials, but instead making it a casual event and as low-maintenance as possible. They will instead be wedded in shorts and T-shirts; so don’t expect a long, white dress on the bride or a tuxedo on the groom. The entire ceremony will last along the lines of 15 minutes. “We’ve always been simple,” Lynch said. She explains that the ceremony at the fair will be accommodating for everyone, since everyone they would want at the wedding will already be at the fair. In fact, the Lynch and Comstock wedding is open to all who attend the fair.

Winters preps Oldsmobile for Demo Derby By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner SUBMITTED PHOTO
As a veteran, Winters stands with his newly attained Oldsmobile that he finished prepping to get slammed and to slam at the Destruction Derby on Sunday night. Before Jeremy Winters guzzles two cases of Mountain Dew to psych himself up before getting into his derby car, he must also prepare the derby car. Winters is an expert at the art of the Demolition Derby, having participated in them since he was 16 years old. Although he has slowed down in the past years, he still enjoys the adrenaline rush and the roar of the crowd when it comes time to put on a show. This year, Winters began preparing
a 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass Wagon a month and a half ago. He has fashioned the brown vehicle with an American flag that will be used to open the derby. He says there are a lot of tricks that can be used to prepare the car to take a beating that could be found online, but better if learned by experience. Part of the preparation is tearing the rig apart and putting it back together and chaining the doors. As an experienced derby contestant, Winters has had his share of awards. Two
years ago he won first in his heat and second in the main event. He is hoping for similar results this year. When asked if he gets at all frightened before a heat, Winters answered that he gets more nervous. He just wants it to be a safe experience for all involved. Winters says his strategy depends on the heat. At times he plays more of a safe game to protect his car, but he also understands that he paid to play. The audience deserves a good show.
Masses gather for the Demo Derby
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Chaos ensues every Fair weekend when the annual Destruction Derby takes action at the fairgrounds arena. This year, on Sunday night, Aug. 31, is expected to be no different. The competitors’ goal: be the last man standing. In the cars’ case: be the last engine running. This adult version of bumper cars consists of deliberately bashing into one another to dissemble the inner workings of other challengers’ chassis. It is estimated that around
30-35 competitors will be in the crushing contest. Depending on the final number of contestants, three or four heats will be held with an evenly distributed number of drivers in each. The Powder Puff heat, featuring only women drivers, will also take place. To conclude the evening, the main event will have all remaining cars take center stage to battle for the title. Standing room only is fully anticipated for the arena’s grandstands, as it is every year. Spectators turn out in vast hordes to watch the lightweight
yet strongly built monsters of iron clash and break each other apart. Drivers of the mechanical beasts do their best to keep up the integrity of their cars. Yet, rules govern how much reinforcement can be built into the cars to ensure that the playing field is even for all. The driver’s side door is the only piece that is allowed to be welded shut and all other parts must either be bolted or chained shut. The cash prize for the final driver standing is $2,000. The second and third place winners will receive $500 and $200, re-
spectively. The winners of each heat will receive a $200 prize along with a trophy. Sponsors of the derby, Desert Cruisers and Little League Baseball, will be supplying the rewards. Tickets are on sale at Lakeview Auto Parts (formerly Bianchi’s) and Truck Parts/ NAPA located at 910 N. 4th St., SS Equipment located at 307 N. O St. and Pacific Crest Federal Credit Union located at 123 N. G St. The price of admission is $10 in advance or $15 at the gate on the night of the event.

The group has garnered positive comparisons to another family act that recently graced Lake County’s Round-Up before hitting the big time, The Band Perry. For nearly five years Two Steps Down has been entertaining crowds up and down the west coast, opening for performers such as Keith Anderson, James Otto and Steel Magnolia. For this year’s Round-Up the band will also act as opener for Saturday, Aug. 30 concert headliner Dustin Lynch. Two Steps Down has a wide musical background, from learning the ropes in school bands, orchestra and choir to local community theater shows, church choirs and worship bands and even time spent in New York studying music. Known for tremendous harmonies and an energetic live show, the young band shows tight musicianship and camaraderie that could only come from siblings performing together since they were little kids.

Simms named 2014 Grand Marshal
Lake County Examiner File Photo
Don Simms has the honor of heading up the 2014 Round-Up as Grand Marshal.
Donald Simms has been named the grand marshal for this year’s Lake County RoundUp, achieving 95 years of age for the 95th annual event. Simms, no stranger to the Round-Up, will be making history as the first Grand Marshal since the event became PRCA certified. His grandfather, S.B. Chandler, settled in the area in 1872, one of Lake County’s pioneering settlers preceding the formal establishment of Lakeview, purported to have owned the first car in town. The Chandler’s
were involved in the very establishment of the first Round-Up. Simms was born in 1919, the sole child of Lytle Simms and Lottie Chandler, who were married in 1918 and settled in the Crooked Creek Valley. Lytle’s sheep farm grew to become one of the biggest privately-owned plots of land in the county. Just prior to the U.S. involvement in World War II, Donald married Darlene Brown, and the couple had three children; Marie Lee, Raymond Simms, and Lytle Simms (known com-
monly as “Sonny”). Following Darlene’s death in 1969, Donald eventually remarried in 1980 with Amelia Gawronski. She also passed away in September 2013. Donald has five grandchildren from his first marriage, as well as five step-children from Amelia’s previous marriage and 14 stepgrandchildren to go along with 35 great-grandchildren. One of his grandchildren has even previously served as Round-Up grand marshal. The Simms farm contin-
ues the family business that has called Lake County home since Lytle first settled here, and Donald was also active in the Valley Fall Grange until its closing in the 1990s. Simms’ family plan to participate in this year’s annual Lake County Round-Up parade with a family float honoring Donald and their families’ many years of calling Lake County Home!

Rodeo Heritage supported through apparel sales Page 28 — Wednesday, August 27, 2014, LAKE COUNTY EXAMINER, 2014 Lake County Fair & Round-Up
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Whether you are a loyal yearly fair attendee or an out-of-towner looking for a fancy souvenir, the official Round-Up apparel is a hot commodity for anyone who wants to look sharp and be comfortable. The selection of hats, gloves, youth hooded sweatshirts, adult sweatshirts and jackets will keep buyers cozy and warm throughout the nights of the fair. The pieces sold will have the traditional embroidered RoundUp logo with this year’s changed background. There will be several styles offered for the public’s picking. After taking a three-year break, the Re-Ride Room T-shirts are back by popular demand and will be available to purchase as well. The proceeds of what is sold will be donated to support the Round-Up and the Lake County Round-Up Past President’s Ed Garrett Memorial Museum. In fact, this cause was the means of keeping the museum functioning in the late 1980’s. The museum is looking to expand their space in the coming months, so any contributions would take the project a long way. “The museum has a history along with the 95 years of Round-Up,” said Sally Maxwell, who is involved in merchandising the apparel every year. Maxwell is hoping to keep the Round-Up tradition alive with the earnings. The variety of apparel will be for sale prior to the fair at A Country Home Floral located at 221 N. F St., and will be available at the Round-Up booth under the grandstands during the fair. Last year’s designs are also available at 50 percent off. Although selection is limited, it is an excellent price according to organizers. This year at the Round-Up, the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association will be competing, which will bring more people than usual, so make sure to pick up your own jacket or sweatshirt as soon as possible.

Reese’s book clinic offers helping hand By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Anyone who has been through the 4-H program and has shown any kind of livestock knows how much a pain putting together a 4-H Record Book can be. That is why Megan Reese, a 4-H fouryear veteran, paid it forward with a Record Book clinic to help out eight younger 4-H members with their own book. She held the clinic at the Lakeview Library’s conference room on Sunday, July 20. Reese said that when she was younger an older member held a clinic to walk through each step of the tedious Record Book. “It’s really hard to put together,” Reese said, “especially if you procrastinate.”
She said that it takes less time and less frustration if a seasoned member helps you through each step. For those who are not in the know, Record Books are a must for any 4-H member who submits an animal into the fair. Each section has specific requirements that must be met. These sections are the Identification Page, Table of Contents, Permanent Record, 4-H Story, Project Record, Advancement Forms, Pictures and News clippings, Previous Records and Guidelines. For any participant, it is a daunting task to put this all together in an orderly way. Reese said she helped out through these clinics because, “I just like helping people and helping younger kids especially. It’s that feel good feeling you get when you
help someone out. I’m just trying to give back what that older member gave to me.” These Record Books are used by 4-H to teach members how to keep accurate records, teach responsibility and track progress of the project. They also act as good supplements to college applications. It’s all part of the over-all learning experience that 4-H clubs have to offer. The exhibit hall houses these books and members may get rewarded around $20-$60 based on how well they are put together. Reese overall enjoyed the experience of helping out younger 4-H members. “I like interacting with younger club members because you get to know them. When you help somebody out it makes the process easier, smoother and less stressful,” she said.

By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
The 4-H float was the big winner at last year’s annual Labor Day parade.
Not all of the Fair and Round-up’s celebrations are happening at the Lake County Fairgrounds, as the annual Labor Day Parade will wind through Lakeview’s streets celebrating community and pride in all its splendor. By far the biggest parade in Lakeview each year, over 50 entries are expected to participate in a range of classes from classic cars to equestrian entries and floats. Starting at 10 a.m. on Monday, Sept. 1 at the tennis courts on South 3rd Street, the parade route loops up to E street and through downtown ending back where it started. A Lakeview tradition for decades, the festive event generates parties along the parade route, families, friends and out-of-town guests lining the road at houses along the path. For many it marks a culmination of summer’s work, a chance to have some fun before the school year starts. “It’s something people really look forward to every year,” said Father Ray Hopp, a retired Catholic Priest who has acted as judge for the past 20 years along with Will Cahill for the motorized entries in the parade. Categories of entries in the parade include cars, big rigs, horses, agricultural floats, youth floats, commercial businesses
and even politicians. The best overall float wins the Sweepstakes Trophy. Last year it was the 4-H club entry that took the top prize, with judges looking for the most creative and imaginative entry for awards. “We look for the floats that make people watching the parade say ‘wow isn’t that great!’” said Hopp regarding judging criteria. “If an entry follows the theme of the fair, if it’s apparent that a lot of work went into it, those are the things we look for.” There is one kind of entry though that doesn’t get judged, at least not immediately. “Usually politicians have a float as well, but we don’t judge them…until they get into office,” joked Hopp. A color guard leads the way, with the grand marshal immediately following. This year it is Donald Simms that has earned that honor. Many past presidents of the rodeo association are also included. The parade is a family event above all, and despite the offering of treats from floats Hopp assures that there shall be no corruption of the integrity of the judges. “We don’t take bribes, but the day after I’ll sometimes find a dozen cookies on my doorstep showing appreciation for the work we do.”

Corporate sponsors step up for Round-Up With this year’s Lake County Round-Up rising to a new level as a Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), there was also a need for contributors rising to match expectations. PRCA affiliation means increased prize money for the competitors, and those funds have to come from somewhere. Thanks to the hard work of volunteers on the RoundUp Sponsorship Committee and generous contributions from local businesses, the expectations have been met and exceeded. “We got a lot more sponsors than in the past, and past sponsors of the event contributed more this year to bring it to a whole new level,” said Patsy Hall of Hall Motor Company, one of the many Round-Up sponsors making this year’s festivities possible. “We set out to expand sponsorships, and we were quite successful. Lakeview and the surrounding areas have been tremendous in supporting growth in this event.” Over the past 11 years more than $190,000 has been raised through sponsor-
ships for the Round-Up to cover the concert, prize money and expenses. With the added attention of the PRCA there will be fairly big money up for grabs for professional rodeo cowboys to compete over, thanks to the sponsors. The amount of Buckaroo Sign sponsors has been doubled from the previous year, over 50 in total, and large corporate sponsors have stepped up as well. “The thing that makes this so unique is that there is no paid position for anyone involved in orchestrating this event,” said Hall. “Everything is done by a dedicated group of volunteers and with tremendous support from local businesses. I congratulate the local Round-Up directors on making this move to the PRCA, it has been very well supported by the community.” Large corporate sponsors for the 2014 Lake County Round-Up are divided into four categories; Cattle Baron ($5,000 contribution), Stockman ($2,500), Homesteader ($1,500) and Wrangler ($750). SS Equipment was the Cattle Baron sponsor. Ed Staub and Sons, Pacific Pine and Western Video/Shasta Livestock/Todd Muller were all Stockman sponsors.

Bender’s fair wear is always a hot commodity Every year Bender’s Promotional Products and Apparel set out to make the most stylish of fair apparel, so much so that they are constantly on the brink of selling out. This year’s design features a confident cowboy dressed in prominent yellow atop a fierce bucking bronco. Its text also stands out from the dark fabric with an old-timey rugged yellow spelling out “95th Lake County Fair & Round Up.” Bender’s has been shelling out shirts year after year since 2003. The eleven-year tradition has sparked annual fair attendees to collect the coveted merchandise. Store owners, Darryl and Beverly Bender, say that people even buy them for Christmas, months in advance of the holiday. Several of the most popular styles sell out in a flash so the Benders warn, “The early bird gets the shirt!” Darryl comes up with the idea for the shirt and sends it to his printBy Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
ers in Southern California, who the Bender’s have been relying on since 1995. The Benders try to keep each year unique but still true to the feeling of the fair. “It’s a billboard for our event,” Darryl said as he recollects people reading his shirt as he visits destinations outside of the county. “We try to keep the prices where people can afford two or three for the whole family,” he adds. Last year the Benders ordered 325 shirts but sold upwards of 300. They hope to do better this year as the fair continues to grow. There are many different styles to choose from. Basic T-shirts will be sold for $18. Hoodies go for $28. Full zip hoodies are $32. Quarterzippered with no hood are sold for $32. Cadet collared sweatshirts will be sold for $36. Crewneck shirts will run at $20. All styles run from small to X-Large with small increases for oversized shirts. The apparel will go on presale on Tuesday, Aug. 26 and will be available to buy at the Bender’s booth throughout the fair.

Music to the ears at the fair
By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Local bands and musicians will be taking on the small stage at the food court on Fair weekend to give attendees soothing sounds as they relax among the chaos. Roseburg four-piece soft rock outfit Stone Tyler will be breaking in the stage as they perform on Friday from 4-5:30 p.m. They will be playing original songs like “Somewhere in the Night” and “We Been Around.” They aim to please those whose tastes revolve around Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan. Klamath Falls’ Moodswing will be playing their trademark acoustic songs with duet vocals. The married couple, Ron Houck and Pamela Jones, has been making sweet, soothing folk music for 19 years at pubs, fairs and festivals. “Lakeview is like a second home for us having
performed there for many years,” Jones said as she recalls all the times they have performed in the area. Their sound is a minimalist yet layered folk as Houck performs guitar, bass or stand-up bass as they both exchange vocals. Moodswing will be performing on Friday, Aug. 29 at 5:45-7:45 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 30 at 1:30-3:30 p.m. Cascade Rye will be rounding out the night on Friday, Aug. 29 from 8-9 p.m. and pulling double shifts on Sunday, Aug. 31 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. and 3-4 p.m. Their sound is comparable to southern rock led by the duel vocals of husband and wife, Kayln and Jake Payne with backing guitar, mandolin, fiddle, banjo and other country instruments by Scott Eastburn and Chris Arellano. Opening up Saturday and Sunday’s music, Old Time Fiddlers will be taking stage from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The several piece band will be playing their classic country tunes to take fair guests back to
the old country with their guitars, fiddlers, stand-up bass and other instruments. Nephilim will be closing up the music on Saturday, Aug. 30 from 4-5:30 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 31 from 4-6 p.m. and 7:309:30 p.m. Music lovers can expect to be whisked away to the rock classics of Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Stevie Nicks and many, many more. Nephilim also plays modern hits the likes of Pink, Jimmy Eat World and Lenny Kravitz. Vocalist, Jenn Lucas, is daughter of the aforementioned Pamela Jones of Moodswing. Jones said Nephilim plays hits that her former band, Dayton Street, was playing a number of years ago at the same fair. Lucas said that their job is to keep the crowds dancing, so if they’re doing that then they are doing their job. Make sure to stop by the food court, grab a snack and listen to these fine musical acts.

Dashing fun for all ages By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Lake County Fair & Round-Up has festivities extending beyond the fairgrounds, providing a chance to burn off all the fried bread at the fair and stay fit with the Labor Day Dash, held on Saturday, Aug. 30. Organized by the Mile High Striders running club, the dash is a 5,000-meter (3.1 mile) fun run, walk and relay commencing at Steninger Track at Lakeview High School. Events include a 5K run/walk, a four-person 5K relay race, a one-mile run for youth ages 14 and under, and a kids quartermile run (one lap around the track). Events start at 7:45 a.m. with the kids races, and an awards ceremony planned for 9:15 a.m. Participants are split into age divisions: 12 and under, 13-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and 60+. For the relay race there is no age restriction, with each runner on a team required to run 1,600-meters, but the final 200-meters of the course must be run by a team member 8 years old or younger. Prizes will be awarded to the top runners in each age group.
Registration begins at the track at 7:15 a.m. prior to start of the first race. Information packets are available at Howard’s Drugs, Back Yard Floral and Holloway Photography. Registration fees are $20 for 5K and 1-mile participants, which includes a shirt, or $10 without a shirt. For the kids quarter-mile run registration costs are $10 including a shirt or $5 without a shirt. Same costs apply to those competing in the relay race. Mile High Striders are an all-comers collective of running and track & field enthusiasts, organizing a variety of different track meets and fun runs throughout the year. Membership in the club results in lowered registration costs and other benefits. Previous events organized this year have included an open track meet, off-road ATV course run, 5K poker run, and a relay race from Lakeview to Adel. For more information contact Melinda Howard at 541-947-4504.

Creswell’s own Oven Fresh Pizza will be spreading out the scrumptious slices this Fair
Oven Fresh Pizza By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
To satisfy cravings for pizza, Oven Fresh Pizza will be present with a full, enclosed mobile to bring the Italian favorite to the masses. Operator Dale Allen, travels up and down the Pacific Northwest to bring his remarkable pizza to fair-goers. He recently traveled to Tulelake, Calif., Yakima, Wash. and just finished up at our neighbors’ to the west, the Klamath County Fair. Allen will make another trip down to Lake County, as he always has since the 1990’s. Oven Fresh Pizza serves their delicious parlor style thin crusted pizza that comes in sliced, mini and mini combos for $4, $6 and $7, respectively, for those looking to appease their taste buds for a little while. For families or the extremely fam-
ished large pizzas sell for $22 and large combos for $24. The choices focus on the most popular of styles: pepperoni, cheese, Canadian bacon and combination. The combination is covered with large helpings of pepperoni, cheese, Canadian bacon, mushrooms and olives. You can pick up cola, diet cola, root beer, sprite and lemonade to quench your thirst. Although Allen’s business is based out of Creswell, he still enjoys making the trek down to Lake County for a variety of reasons. “It seems to be a great local event,” Allen said. He also says he loves the entertainment, rodeo crowd and carnival atmosphere. “The other concessionaires have been high quality people. The Fair Board is a pleasure to work with as well,” he said.

China Station anticipates the atmosphere of fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Sutherlin-based China Station will be offering their famous oriental cuisine that will guarantee a lengthy line. Chicken preparations include orange, sesame, general, Sweet & Sour, fried and teriyaki. Sides will include noodles, egg rolls, fried chicken on a stick and fried rice. Their beverage choices will be frozen slushies, soda and bottled water. The prices range from $5.50 to $10.50, depending on the quantity. This will be China Station’s first visit to the Lake County Fair and they are excited to experience what it has in stock for them. Owner Sylvia Tsang keeps hearing that the community was a nice one here and that her business would be able to fill a need that the residents have. “We know people who have been to the Lake County Fair and one thing we hear is that everyone is friendly,” Tsang said. “There is something different about Lakeview.” Although concession stand workers primary responsibility is to feed the lines of people, the China Station staff does not hesitate to escape the cramped mobile kitchen to experience the free space and atmosphere that the fair has to offer. Tsang explained that seeing the 4-H and FFA livestock pass by their booth and nearly tip us over is “an exciting thing to see. “We hope everyone will give us a try and we look forward to seeing everybody at the fair,” Tsang said.

Dustin Lynch to Rock the Arena By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Dustin Lynch will headline the musical performances at this year’s Lake County Round-Up, performing on Saturday, Aug. 30 at 6:30 p.m. at the Lake County Fairgrounds. Lynch is a native of Tullahoma, Tenn., who moved to Nashville to attend college and immerse himself in the country music scene. Establishing a foothold at the world famous Bluebird Café, a renowned testing ground for new country artists where names like Garth Brooks and Faith Hill first got their start, he was discovered in 2011 and signed to Broken Bow Records. His self-titled debut album was released in 2012, featuring the hit songs “She Cranks My Tractor” and “Cowboys and Angels.” In 2013 the album peaked at #1 on the Country Album charts and reached as high as #13 on the Billboard 200, earning platinum status. “Cowboys and Angels” was declared by Billboard one of the top-5 country songs of 2012. Following extensive touring and the success of his first album, Lynch was awarded in 2013 with two American Country Awards and one CMT Music Award nomination, where he also performed for the national broadcast. Now proving that he is no one hit wonder and sure to shake off the sophomore slump, his second album Where It’s At is set to be released on Tuesday, Sept. 9, with the lead single “Where It’s At” already becoming a massive hit. With its instantly catchy ‘yup, yup’ hook, “Where It’s At” has become one of the top earworms of the summer, exceeding one million youtube views of the music video in only two months since its original release while gaining national radio airplay. The song has already been named an iTunes Top-5 Hot Country Song. Touring with country stars such as Keith Urban and appearing at large festivals such as Stagecoach in Indio, Calif., Lynch has gained fans everywhere he has traveled with his catchy hooks and lively stage show. Lynch draws his influences from both traditional roots and well-established new country artists such as
Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Clint Black, which he refers to as “The Class of ‘89” as all three reached national acclaim first in 1989, ushering in a new era of popularity in country music. For Lynch he credits his experience at the Bluebird Café as the establishment of his success, taking seriously its reputation for developing acts such as Kathy Mattea. He rented an apartment behind the Bluebird parking lot, walking to the venue several times a week to absorb the country music scene and observe many of the top songwriters today perfect their craft before getting his shot at the big time. Studying the top songwriters and immersing himself in the scene, he became a master songwriter in his own right, evidenced by his string of hits. His writing abilities have earned critical praise from elite publications like American Songwriter, People Magazine, Billboard, Elle, The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post and USA Today. Corporate Sponsors of the event include S.S. Equipment, Ed Staub & Sons, Pacific Pine, Western Video/Shasta Livestock and Todd Muller, among others. Tickets begin at $20 for general admission and stage side, $25 for grandstand reserve seating, and $30 for box seats. Tickets are available for purchase at Umpqua Bank, located at 1 S. E St. in Lakeview and at the door.

Fair bracelet vouchers are available to purchase at Umpqua Bank for $20 for one day. Bracelets will be available at the carnival for $25. Bracelets get you on any eligible ride all day for one day.
Carnival Action at its Best! By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Paul Maurer Shows will be bringing in their colorful carnival equipment for this year’s Lake County Fair and will have ride-ables for every age. For those who want to experience the thrill of spins, great heights or weightlessness the adult-friendly rides would be your choice. The Gravitron, designed to resemble an alien spaceship, has a gravity-like pull from its centrifugal force. Sure, it may get some riders who have weaker stomachs nauseated by the unearthly forces, but most burst from the door with smiles, cheers and promises to return. A more relaxing ride is the Kite Flyer, a multicolored contraption that gives a soothing and tipping spin that you can share with a close friend. After a relaxing kite ride, step onto the Sizzler, a ride comparable to blender and a game of corners that makes sure riders’ hips are sore afterwards if they ride with ruthless friends. Then you can step on the Mine Winder, a ride that spins carts of riders 360 degrees as the riders spin themselves.
For a more relaxing ride, try out the Swinger. This ride is similar to Mine Winder except not as fast and only spins riders one direction. For the kids, there are many choices for parents to have a classic photo opportunity and joyful memory. The Fun Slide is great for parents to take their kids onto to have an exhilarating rush of air as they glide down on a potato sack. Mario Jungle, named after the classic Nintendo character, will offer a fun and safe obstacle course that ends in a long slide. Other rides for the kids include the Go Gator Coaster, Flying Cars, BerryGo-Round and Red Baron Airplanes. Of course no carnival is ever complete without a deep selection of games where fair-goers can get a chance to win their selection of stuffed animals, inflatable toys and other fair collectibles. Fair bracelet vouchers are available to purchase at Umpqua Bank for $20 for one day. They will be available at the carnival for $25 so make sure you save a few dollars and get one early. These will get you on any eligible ride all day with your choice of which day. The adult rides require riders to be at least 48 inches (4 feet) tall and the child’s rides require rider to be at least 36 inches (3 feet) tall and 3 years old or older.

Empty saddles honor past Round-Up supporters
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
After 95 years of organizing the Lake County Round-Up, there’s a lot of history and tradition to be celebrated, and many integral characters in its preservation who have passed on. Each year those instrumental in the Round-Up’s success who have died are memorialized through the most hallowed of the rodeo’s traditions, the Empty Saddles presentation. For years the Round-Up has honored the past presidents, grand marshals, and other individuals who have been instrumental to its success over the years who have passed away within the year, with this tradition. The ceremony consists of a family member leading a horse with an empty saddle belonging to the dearly departed along the arena track as a memorial of the person’s many accomplishments is read aloud. Amidst a weekend full of fun and entertainment, it is a moment to remember those
who have helped make it all possible. For the 2014 RoundUp two will be honored who passed away in the past calendar year; Mel Young and Walt Leehmann. Young was the 2010 Lake County Round-Up Grand Marshal, though Young his involvement in the event traces back to the 1960s when he joined the Round-Up and helped with the removal and replacement of bucking chutes at the fairgrounds arena. In 1981 Young became the association president, and worked several times as the arena director. His daughter Donna was a Round-Up Princess in 1984, and his grandson Leif Erickson won the bull riding competition at the 2007 Round-Up. Walt Leehmann recently celebrated his 95th birthday on the 4th of July at the

Round-Up Museum, passing away only a couple weeks later. He was the 73rd Round-Up Grand Marshal, though the Leehmann family affiliation with the event stretches back generations. When he was eight years old Walt gathered Leehmann riggings into and out of the chutes. He later became Round-Up President, an honor shared with his brother Merle and all three of his sons, Doug, Wayne and Rob. Walt met his wife, Jean, on Omaha Beach in France during World War II. In addition to his three sons they also had twin daughters, Judy and Janet. The empty saddles memorial presentation will take place at the Lake County fairgrounds right before the start of the first rodeo events at the Round-Up both on Sunday and Monday.

Outdoor Museum provides glimpse into Lake County past
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Ed Henry is the curator of the Outdoor Museum at the Lake County Fairgrounds. He has spent countless hours compiling materials from local ranches and farms to document Lake County’s agricultural, homesteading, mining and lumber history.
Lake County Fairgrounds’ Historical Museum is a vast array of equipment, wagons, and buildings collected from ranches across Lake County, preserving the ranching, mining, and agricultural past of those who have called Lake County home. Operated by Ed and Arlene Henry, both members of the Lakeview Historical Society, the outdoor museum often referred to as the Lake County Outdoor Museum or Historical Village contains a wide assortment of oddities and commodities rescued from scrap heaps and barns from as far as 200 miles away. Open during the annual Lake County Round Up & Fair and available for tours with one phone call, the museum is the culmination of a dream of several intrepid individuals who began the project before Henry came aboard. “I call this my life sentence,” joked Henry, who maintains and restores the wide variety of items on the property, leaving his phone number at the gate for people to call to get a personal tour at all hours of the day. From the original idea, Henry inherited the project from the historical society around 2000, in part because of his connections with the fair board and highway department after working for the state for 27 years, including a stint as sheriff. After multiple proposed locations a space on the Lake County Fairgrounds was finally approved, and following landfill material provided thanks to the construction of the nearby prison, the dream of a museum representing Lakeview’s homestead and ranching past was nearing realization. Fencing was built through fundraising
by the Lions Club and historical society, and the museum officially opened in the fall of 2001. Thousands of hours have been spent digging through old barns and fields to compile an impressive collection of rural Americana, which includes wagons, farm equipment, mining gear, cabins and barns transported to the fairgrounds for preservation. The property also acts as a functional workshop for Henry, utilizing a blacksmith shop and other items to restore antiques or construct new materials for the museum, including a working windmill he built last year. Items in the collection go as far back as the 1860s, including antique two-horse carts, saws, hay bailers, boilers, saddles and even an antique outhouse. Among the more unique items in the collection is a millstone from England and a bell from a local school long since torn down. Some of the items in the collection are massive in scale, creating a major logistics dilemma to transport. “The log cabin was a 200 mile roundtrip to bring it to the museum,” said Henry. The extensive work and care that the Henry’s have put into restoring and maintaining the property along with the assistance of a few adventurous friends and members of the historical society showcases both their expert craftsmanship and care for saving the community’s past. Some of the buildings Henry has taken apart piece-by-piece, transported and reassembled at the museum. For more information or to arrange a tour, contact Henry at 541-947-5026.

Parking proceeds prevent pet overpopulation By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Space is plentiful and the lots well coordinated when making a visit to the Lake County Fairgrounds for Fair and the Roundup, with plenty of volunteers on site to help direct traffic. Lake County’s fair is unusual in that there is no admission cost, only parking fees. The revenue generated from parking at the fair benefits not only the fairgrounds for future events, but also the Oregon Outback Humane Society. It is a litany of volunteers helping out at the gates, from employees at Umpqua Bank to Mormon Missionaries and a wide assortment of community members. For four days residents join together to volunteer to make the fair a smoothly operated venture, and all for a good cause, funding both future fairs and helping to control pet and stray animal populations. The Oregon Outback Humane Society operates multiple spay and neuter clinics around Lake County, taking a proactive approach to controlling stray and pet animal populations. While the organization operates through several grants, these are specifically project-based, making the over
$2,000 annually earned from parking during Fair and Round-Up crucial in covering operating expenses. “The volunteers working the parking lots during the fair are vital to the continued operation of the Oregon Outback Humane Society,” said Amy Hutchinson, Lake County Libraries executive director and volunteer with OOHS who is overseeing the coordination of parking lot volunteers. “The community support with fair parking is so important because this helps the humane
The Oregon Outback Humane Society operates multiple spay and neuter clinics around Lake County society cover so many of the annual expenses that are not covered by grants.” The clinics operated by OOHS are focused primarily in Lakeview and Christmas Valley, where volunteers coordinate the collection of animals, treatment, and recordkeeping. They take a proactive approach in trying to prevent overpopulation rather than a reactive trapping or sheltering operation.
“Very quickly we realized that simply sheltering stray animals wasn’t going to be a solution, and we had to take a more proactive approach to population control,” said Martina Keil, Clinic and Operations director for OOHS. Dr. Linx Alexanderson of Bend is the primary doctor of veterinary medicine that conducts the procedures. Cost is a huge issue when it comes to sterilizing cats and dogs, but the clinic aims to make it as affordable a process as possible. The clinics focus on those individuals that may not be able to afford taking their pets to an established veterinarian business for a standard spay or neuter procedure. These fees are offset by not only grants, but donations from organizations and individuals through several fundraisers conducted each year. Daily parking passes are $5, or a fourday parking pass covering the entire Fair and Round-Up is only $15, RV overflow parking is $30. Handicap and senior parking are also available. To purchase a parking pass in advance stop by the Lake county Fairgrounds office at 1900 N. 4th St. or call 541947-2925. Oregon Outback Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.

Deiter hoping to win big By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner SUBMITTED PHOTO
Four-H member, Kyle Deiter, is prepping his annual pig to show at this year’s Lake County Fair, just as he has for the past five years. Deiter will be showing his near 300-pound swine, Amron, this year, of which he bought from Rim Rock Ranch in Alturas. Deiter got the name for his pig from his physical therapist whose name is also Amron. Deiter has been part of 4-H since he was in fourth grade and went into raising pigs from the example of his brother and sister. “Pigs are a lot like dogs,” he said. Amron is the first of Deiter’s pigs that will almost respond to their name. He has a daily routine of feeding and walking his annual pig that has taught him valuable lessons of responsibility. “Raising an animal teaches you how to take care of something. You can’t feed it one day and say you’ll come back in a week and then see if it’s okay. You have to be there everyday for it. You can’t slack off,” Deiter said. Although Deiter is a freshman at Lakeview High School, he is

looking into the future with education. A recent visit to the surgeon for his knee got his curiosity peaked for the medical field. He is contemplating attending Western Oregon University to get into the medical program to eventually become a surgeon or anesthesiologist. “I like to help people and communicate with them,” he said. When Deiter isn’t busy raising his annual pig, he enjoys crosscountry, basketball and track where he feels the best while sprinting. Four-H has treated him well. Deiter said that before joining, he much lot shyer and did not enjoy talking to people. In 4-H he has many opportunities to socialize and talk to his peers with similar interests.
4-H members to fund year with food booth By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
Lake County 4-H will be serving up fair favorites in order to support their yearly activities. The single mission of the food booth is to make enough funds to go straight into the operational coffers for the clubs including insurance costs, scholarships, youth leadership trip opportunities and fair ribbons. Instead of asking for these necessary funds, the club members will be putting forth efforts in filling orders of
hungry fair attendees at the front end and participate in the much needed clean up during and afterwards. This principle of funds through service is mandated by 4-H standards. “The money that people spend at the food booth will go to benefit the youth of the county, so we definitely want to promote that,” said Jamie Davis, 4-H, Family and Community Health program coordinator. She stresses that the money comes right back to the program. The 4-H members will be learning customer service skills and food preparation as they run the food booth.
“It’s a great experience for kids to build customer relations skills,” Davis said. “When they go to apply for a job, (the potential employer) may ask (the kids) if they ever had to deal with customers.” These years of experience will help them get this kind of experience that they can use later in life and will help them set them apart from others. The booth will provide fair food staples like cheeseburgers, grilled cheese sandwiches, drinks and fries to the public. They will also be open around breakfast time with egg sandwiches and coffees.

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
The original megaphone used by Harry Utley at the very first Lake County Round-Up is among the many great local historic artifacts on display at the Round-Up Museum.
Round-Up history - a real treat! By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
From the original megaphone Harry Utley used at the very first Round-Up to saddles memorializing past presidents, the Ed Garrett Memorial Round-Up Museum extensively documents the people and events surrounding 95 years of Lake County Round-Up memories. Founded in 1993 by former Round-Up Association presidents Don Hotchkiss, Marvin Butler and Joel Peters, the museum located at the Lake County fairgrounds near the grandstands stands in tribute to the many past presidents, directors, grand marshals and courts that have represented and worked to maintain the grand Lake County rodeo tradition. Photographs and biographies of each past president, grand marshal, queen and princess adorn the walls of the museum, with a ring atop the ceiling of brands from local ranches recognizing those who pitched in to help fund the construction of the building. Above the wide collection of brands that demonstrate the vast communitywide support of the museum is a tremendous collection of fascinating artifacts, models and other display items sure to catch the eye of anyone perusing the museum. Behind glass cases are the most valuable memorabilia, items
stretching as far back as the very first Round-Up’s organized, complete with outfits, posters, trophies, spurs, saddles, hats, buckles and more. All items in the collection have been donated by people integrally involved in the annual event and their families, and all curators for the museum are strictly volunteer. As the Round-Up continues, so many artifacts have been collected for the museum that it is reaching capacity, prompting the need to pursue funding for expansion of the facility. The space is also utilized as a site for gatherings, from hosting artists slated to perform at the fair and Round-Up to 4-H events. From the listing of the original donors who paid for the establishment of the rodeo to documentation and images of every single president, grand marshal and court, the museum is the comprehensive collection preserving Lake County’s proud rodeo legacy. The curators of the museum hope that soon the facility can be expanded, so that even more of the grand history surrounding the Lake County Round-Up may be displayed for all to see and enjoy. For any participant or fan of rodeo, the museum is a must-visit during a stop at the fairgrounds to learn about the efforts of all of those who have worked tirelessly to make the Round-Up such a memorable event. The Round-Up Museum will be open to public viewing during the fair, except during rodeo events. For more information contact John Flynn at 541-947-4534, Larry Maxwell at 541-947-3259 or Robbie Leehmann at 541-219-1077.

Rodeo announcer Carper returns
Jody Carper will be returning as this year’s Rodeo announcer. A former rodeo contestant himself, he joined the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) in 1997 as a tiedown roper, and qualified for the California Circuit Finals Rodeo in 2003. He began riding in rodeo competitions in high school, qualifying for the finals in steer wrestling. He attended Howard College in Texas, spent a year at Texas Tech, and became a college rodeo steer wrestler until a knee injury forced him to focus solely on tiedown roping and team roping. Originally from the small western Texas town of Big Spring, about 40 miles from Midland, Carper first discovered a passion for announcing in 1991. He purchased his PRCA competitor’s permit in 1997, winning enough in prize money to fill his permit and buy his full PRCA card in 1998. By 2005 he had decided to focus full-time on his career as an announcer and give up rodeo competitions, earning his announcer’s card. By 2008 Carper had hit the big time, announcing for some of the biggest rodeos around. Twice he has announced the St. Paul, Wrangler Million Dollar Tour Rodeo, as well as the National Finals Steer Roping By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
and the Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo in 2010 and 2011. His career includes awards for the 2008 PRCA Nationals Finals Steer Roping, 2010 Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, 2011 Dodge National Circuit Finals Rodeo, 2011 RAM Turquoise Circuit Finals Rodeo, 2010 Dodge California Circuit Finals Rodeo, 2009 PRCA California Circuit Finals and the 2009 WNFR Binion’s Bucking Horse and Bull Sale. Carper is also an accomplished basketball referee. Since 1993, Carper has called college basketball games for 11 conferences and one professional league across the country. His experience there has led him to also announce basketball and baseball games. In 2005 Carper was selected to work the McDonald’s High School All-American game on ESPN. He also finds work as a voice actor providing voice-over services for commercials. It is Carper’s previous experience as a contestant himself that allows him to give fans a unique and entertaining perspective on rodeo and expert analysis. When not traveling for his extensive announcing and refereeing duties, Carper and his wife Kelli live in Jamul, Calif., a suburb of San Diego. Kelli is no stranger to rodeo either, the couple met at the 2001 Reno Rodeo. She was Miss Rodeo Lakeside in 2001.

Thomas to present her praiseworthy lamb at fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
JIMMY HALL/ Lake County Examiner
Rachel Thomas, an eight-year fair participant veteran, shows her lamb, Rose who she has worked with for the Lake County Fair. Rachel Thomas, Lakeview’s Future Farmers of America (FFA) president, has been raising lambs ever since she was in the fourth grade. In her first year in FFA in high school she claimed first place and reserve champion in sheep showing. She got into the annual habit when she saw her older brother and sister raising, feeding and showing sheep at the fair. “They did sheep, so why not me?” Thomas said as she stands by her own lamb, Rose. Purchasing her ewe in May from Christmas Valley’s Bailey Threet farm, Thomas has shown great responsibility in taking care of Rose. For the past three months she walks the sheep a mile each day and feeds her twice a day with a pound of grain, a half-pound of alfalfa and another half pound of hay. Thomas keeps up the feeding routine to raise Rose to be a tempting grab for butcher bidders at this year’s fair. Rose began at 30 pounds and Thomas hopes for the sheep to be around 130 pounds by the time fair rolls
around. “It’s definitely a task to feed and walk her, but I love it all at the same time,” she said. With all the daily tasks comes also a strong bond with Rose. She recalled one year where she had one lamb who did not share the same emotional connection. “I had one lamb who hated me! I wasn’t sad to see her go,” Thomas laughs. Thomas says that depending on the year’s market, raising a sheep can bring in a healthy load of profit. She is estimating a grand total of $800 to $900 in profit for Rose this year. This more than outweighs the $300 to $400 expenses of the sheep itself along with the grain it takes to feed her. Rose’s pen, which is kept behind a friend’s house, has its own innovative workouts for Rose to do when Thomas is not around. Thomas set up a makeshift pole from her roofed shelter to her water for her to jump over to build leg muscle. She even set her water tank up farther off the ground and a log to help Rose reach it. This also
builds muscle. Judging will depend on many criteria including how firm Rose’s loin is and how heavy her muscle. As fair approaches, Thomas takes specially good care of Rose including getting vaccinations, trimming her hooves and a few rounds of shearing. Right before the showing, Thomas will give her sheep a nice slick shear to make Rose a more tempting buy for the bidders. Thomas’ four years in FFA and an additional four in 4-H, has taught her much about responsibility, hard work and determination. In between FFA duties, Thomas enjoys softball, soccer, helping with Student Council and Honor Society. Still, Thomas holds FFA close to her heart as she sets her eyes to the future. She plans to attend Oregon Institute of Technology after she graduates and to study radiology. But also has always thought about owning her personal flock of sheep.

Re-Ride Room offers variety of entertainment By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
Whether seeking an adult beverage, great music or just a bit of shade, the ReRide Room offers a wide variety to partake in the joys of the Lake County Fair & RoundUp. During Round-Up the Re-Ride Room comes alive, as one of the big highlights of Round-Up festivities. Located adjacent to the fairgrounds arena grandstands along the arena’s track, the Skip Thornton Memorial Re-Ride Room offers an alternate social setting true to the events and western lifestyle right down to the woodchip floor. The space allotted for the Re-Ride Room was established in 2003, providing a groundfloor view of the pens, chutes, and behind the scenes action. Named in Thornton’s honor following his death in 2006. Thornton had a long history with the Round-Up Association having served as secretary-treasurer for mor years than most can recall. He was alo

president in 1962. Two large tents encompassing the ReRide Room will provide a full service bar and stage, where live music presented by Sacramento’s own Two Steps Down will keep things lively throughout the weekend’s festivities performing Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening from 9 p.m. to midnight. There is no cost to enter. Due to the alcohol service, people must be 21 or older to enter. On Friday, Aug. 29, the Re-Ride Room will serve as ground zero for the Round-Up Calcutta starting at 7 p.m., where spectators can bid for their favorite saddle bronc and Warner Valley Ranch bronc riders for a chance to share the cash prize with the rider. That evening will also host the President’s Party at 6 p.m., an invite-only celebration showing appreciation to this year’s sponsors, volunteers, family and friends who have made the Lake County RoundUp possible. On Sunday and Monday while Round-Up events take place just mere feet away in the arena, thirsty patrons can enjoy all the action with an adult beverage courte-
sy of the full-service bar in operation during all hours of the Re-Ride Room being open. “Lakeview has a unique atmosphere with the people and camaraderie,” said 2014 Round-Up President Clark Maxwell. “The cowboys that travel with the PRCA latch onto areas with a good atmosphere, and the Re-Ride Room personifies the atmosphere of the Round-Up.” The Re-Ride Room also provides a great opportunity to mingle with old friends, as multiple class reunions will be taking place throughout the weekend centered around the great social atmosphere that the space provides. The Re-Ride Room will open each day of the Lake County Fair and Round-Up in the early afternoons, remaining rockin’ well into the night until either the alcohol runs dry or people have had enough partying for one evening, whichever comes first. New this year will be a VIP area that will be designated for corporate sponsors.

More than just cash at stake at Round-Up KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Prizes for contestants in this year’s PRCA-sanctioned Lake County Round-Up include one-of-a-kind buckles, pendants and a 100X custom cowboy hat. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Cold hard cash is a great prize for professional cowboys trying to make a living on the Professional Rodeo Cowboy Association (PRCA) circuit, but for this year’s Lake County Round-Up there’s more at stake for the top competitors. Wanting to put a unique stamp on the Round-Up this year, directors decided that something special was in order for the first year of PRCA-affiliation, something distinctly representative of Lake County. “Cowboys like trinkets,” explained 2014 Round-Up Pres. Clark Maxwell. “Under the PRCA the cash is exactly the same across every event, everyone gets paid the same. This year we wanted a unique trophy with
the bucking horse emblem, that’s our sign. The only place you’re going to get one like this is right here in Lake County.” Previous awards given out to the top competitors have been trophy saddles, buckles, or added cash to the prizes. This year’s buckles, like the Round-Up’s many additions this year, stepped it up a notch. Custom designed by Mortenson Silver and Saddles in Sante Fe, N.M., each event of the Round-Up comes with its own designed champion silver buckle encompassing the year, event, and of course the Lakeview bucking bronc symbol. In addition, special pendants will be awarded to the winners of the women’s team roping event, and for the champion of the saddle bronc riding competition a new custom made 100X cowboy hat will be the great reward.
Saddle bronc riding is special for Lake County’s Round-Up, usually drawing the most attention and local competitors. As the event with the most interest, its special trophy deserved special local connections. In stepped Lisa Robinson, owner of Top Knot Hats in Silver Lake and master hatmaker. Her custom-designed cowboy hats have drawn great acclaim with the expert care taken in each design. Every hat can take up to three weeks to complete, tailormade to specific style requests. The hat being offered to the champion of the saddle bronc ride is a 100X, the highest-grade quality of fur possible. Whether a hat, pendant or custom buckle, the champions of each event at the 2014 PRCA Round-Up will have a prestigious trophy to be proud of unique to Lake County.
Knights of Columbus serve up tasty burgers By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner
When fair rolls around every year, mouths water for the delectable and renowned burgers that Knights of Columbus serves well into the late night. What gets the appetites ready is the sweet aroma that originates from the KC burger stand’s infamous onion rings that are topped on each burger. According to Jim Huffstutter, member of the Knights, “If you ask people who come around what our specialty is, they would say it’s the fried onion rings that sets these burgers apart.” He also contributes the organization’s recognition to a wellseasoned grill and a secret sauce that gets lines going well into the
night, even up until 3 a.m. John Cremin, another Knights member, recalls that the tradition began in 1960 with only a few boards nailed together, a hot plate and a canvas that acted as covering. Now, 60 years later, it is a smash success and a must for any hungry cowboy or cowgirl who just got finished with fair revelry. Just make sure to come before the crowds show up, otherwise a worthwhile line will be waiting. All proceeds of the burger stand go toward projects that help with the maintenance of St. Patrick Catholic Church, the church the Knights of Columbus are from. To get your hand on one of these delicious burgers, stop by the south end of U.S. Bank at 518 N. 1st St. Single burgers run for $5 while doubles are for $7.

Round-Up Quilt raffle By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner A quilt designed and made by Lissa Webbon of Goose Tracks and quilted by Kim Stanford of Alturas, Calif. will be up for grabs at this year’s Lake County Round-Up, the drawing to be held on Monday, Sept. 1. It is the tenth year a Round-up quilt will be raffled during the annual event, one of the grand traditions adding to the authentic western rustic appeal of the Lake County RoundUp. Tickets are available for the 90” x 100” handcrafted quilt for $5 each or three for $10. The annual Round-Up quilt tradition began in 2004 as a change of pace from the traditional horse tack raffles that were organized by the Round-Up court. Webbon suggested making a quilt instead, and it proved so popular that the tradition has stuck ever since, growing larger every year. Webbon donates her creative idea and time to make the quilt. The funds raised from the quilt raffle go towards covering expenses for the Round-Up Court’s travel costs while promoting the Round-Up throughout the region. Overseeing the Round-Up quilt tradition is Round-Up Queen Katherine McKenzie, the lone member of the court for the 2014 Lake County
KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner
Round-up Queen Katherine McKenzie stands by a beautifully-crafted quilt up for raffle at this year’s Lake County Round-Up. Round-Up. For several months in the lead up to the fair she has actively been selling raffle tickets and promoting the event, something she states she is proud to represent. “We represent Lake County, it goes beyond just riding a horse, we promote the rodeo, sell tickets and participate in events,” said McKenzie. “Especially this year because so much will be different with the elevation to it being a PRCA rodeo, it’s important that I spread the word.” McKenzie is no stranger to the RoundUp Court or the quilt legacy, having previously served as a Round-Up Princess in 2013. Admittedly, she says that she hopes
she wins the raffle, she’d love to have it for herself for all that it represents. Each year’s quilt is a completely original and unique design, encompassing a representation of the Round-Up and its grand history. Tickets can be purchased from the Round-Up Queen Katherine McKenzie up until the drawing on Monday, Sept. 1, or at Goose Tracks Quilt Shop at 728 N. 2nd St. in Lakeview. The winner does not need to be present to win. For more information please contact Goose Tracks Quilting & Fabric Art at 541947-0299.
Drinks and ponies at Nellies By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Nothing beats a tall cup of chilly lemonade as you walk around the fairgrounds on Labor Day weekend. Nellies will be there to supply that refreshing and filling drink. Customers can expect lemonade and limeade of the highest caliber from Nellies.
“They are exceptional,” manager Nellie Spicher said. “I make each one with a lot of care and on an individual basis. It doesn’t come from a bulk jug.” Strawberry preserves can also be added to it to give an even sweeter taste. The lemonades range from $3 to $6 with a little extra if strawberry is requested. “It is just like grandma’s old-fashioned lemonade: freshly
squeezed,” Spicher said. Nellie also offers up a variety of coffee drinks. Each drink is carefully brewed from Klamath Falls’ Quackenbush Coffee Company award winning roast. The choices vary from cappuccino, lattés, Americano and iced latte for a range around $3 to $4.50. Parents who just grabbed a cold iced latte can relax at Nellie’s Tumbleweed Pony Com-
pany, which will be located between the drink stand and the beast barn. Kids under 70 pounds can take their turn riding around the carousel for $5. Spicher is planning on bringing up to eight ponies so the kids will be able to pick their favorites to ride. Nellies will have something to satisfy every fair guest, even if it is a casual pony ride.

Birdhouses built by local youth entered at the fair Lake County’s Youth Mentor Program (LCYMP) stays busy year-round with a wide variety of fun activities to educate, entertain and challenge local youth and their mentors. At this year’s Lake County Fair the results of one of their many projects will be entered, with recently completed birdhouses on full display among the many exhibits. The birdhouses were constructed from fencing board collected and cut by Andy Peavy and his mentee Dylan Still, constructed at the LCYMP base of operations, the Education Service District building in Lakeview. Mentors and mentees collaborated on a standard birdhouse design, taking approximately three hours to complete, including plenty of time allotted for decorations to give each its own unique flair. In all around 20 birdhouses were completed by one-on-one mentor pairings out of the 32 mentors currently active in the program, all of which will be on display for the duration of the Lake County Fair. Every year the mentor program completes a project that can be submitted for the fair. Last year mentors and youth made clay masks. “This is the most we’ve ever had particiKURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner pate,” said Lynnette Wells of LCYMP. “We had to expand this project to two days because so Samantha Withers of LCYMP shows off many wanted to be a part of it.” some of the completed birdhouses that Birdhouse construction is just the latest will be on display at the Lake County of many activities organized and encouraged Fair & Round-Up. by LCYMP, with other recent events including By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner
rocket building and a Cinco de Mayo taco feed. Created through grants acquired four years ago by the Education Service District, over 90 youth throughout the county take advantage of the mentor program each year. Operated through grants and donations, the program is intended to help local youth maximize their potential academically and socially. Volunteer mentors are paired with a local youth, working one-on-one as well as in group activities to help develop kids interests and skills while encouraging creativity and a positive social atmosphere. The program has proven to be wildly successful in Lake County, participants in the program routinely showing an improvement in academics while learning new skills. Often youth are paired with mentors that work in a specific career of interest, giving kids a head start on their potential careers. According to LCYMP Exec. Dir. Kathy Miles, the experience of mentoring is great for the mentors as well, getting a chance to see the world through younger eyes and having a chance to be a kid again. In May the youth mentor program received a $15,000 grant from the Fred W. Fields Fund of the Oregon Community Foundation, ensuring continued operation of the successful program throughout Lake County for the 2014-15 fiscal year. For more information on the Lake County Youth Mentor Program contact Kathy Miles at 541-947-4880.
