Maa’s and Baa’s 4-H club made up of Becca Lucas, Alyson Yates, Montana Black and Reba Steward paint one of the Fairgrounds’ barns for a project to beautify the facilities.

Numerous Bodies Involved in Fairgrounds Improvements By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Over the past few months many hands have taken part to make a great number of improvements to the Lake County Fairgrounds in anticipation of the 96th Fair and Round-Up. A large part of the contributions were from the local 4-H clubs in sprucing up areas that are utilized by members during fair. High Desert Cattle Club from Paisley added donated lumber to the Beef Bar, giving the area character and decoration to the inside walls of the barn. They also washed and painted inside as well as re-leveled the ground and provided new wood chips. In this project, Collins Pine donated the lumber and the paint was from funds donated from a Soroptimist grant. The Energizer Bunnies club spent hours pulling weeds and scraping old paint from the 4-H deck followed by repainting it. Lakeview Poultry club donated supplies and helped Fairgrounds maintenance technician James Merrill to build a turkey coop that will be used for club turkeys. Dry Creek Livestock club took on the task to repaint the swine barn, which was complemented by Merrill leveling out the ground, resetting all the pens and covering with new chips. Outback Livestock club spent many hours painting new and old fences to bring a much-needed facelift to the facilities.

Maa’s & Baa’s club cleaned and painted the goat barn with donated paint by Teresa Black, a parent of one of the club’s members. Sue Harrington donated bark dust for flowerbeds, flowers and the use of her gardening equipment as well. Merrill also had his hands busy by installing a new baseboard in the barn, since animals were getting their legs stuck under the gate injuring themselves. He also raised the gates on every pen in the sheep barn since they were so low to the ground that they wouldn’t open after adding the chips. Along with the improvements to the showing and staging areas for livestock, the rest of the fair-goers will enjoy the opportunity to enjoy free, new wi-fi system installed by T-Net, donating the fee worth $1,500. This will help vendors, campers and spectators have access to internet without fail. Fairgrounds Mgr. Lee Anne Rogers said that in the past wi-fi would go down due to heavy traffic, which would then affect credit card machines and the ATM. There will also be improvements to electrical connections for retail vendors on the south lawn adding higher amp breakers to avoid overloading circuits and losing power. Air conditioning upgrades are installed in the south half of Exhibit Building 1 for a more comfortable space for vendors. Finally, there is new seating and picnic tables, which has been a common complaint from patrons in years past. Overall, the additions and improvements have been staggering to add comfort and visual pleasure to the scenery.

Empty Saddles to memorialize In commemoration of two past Round-Up presidents who have passed away in the last year, a special ceremony will take place Sunday and Monday, Sept. 6 and 7 at Round-Up. This year’s Empty Saddles presentation will remember George Carlon and Neil Flynn. Family members of Carlon and Flynn will guide horses gearing saddles that belonged to the past supporters in front of the rodeo crowd in a solemn service while their accomplishments are read over the PA system. In past years, supporters of Round-Up events such as past grand marshals, presidents and other individuals have been recognized in the brief but meaningful occasion. Neil Flynn comes from a long line of ranchers in Lake County who have dedicated their time and efforts to the Round-Up tradition. His ancestors, Philip K. Barry and Phil Lynch, came from Ireland to Plush in the late 1880’s to run bands of sheep. His Flynn grandfather, John C. Flynn, helped finance the first Round-Up with a $1,000 note. Neil previously worked in feedlots in Kansas and operated a truck-operating business for nine years. He served as president for the 81st Round-Up. George Carlon served as Round-Up president for the 52nd event and was Grand Marshal in 1998. Though he contributed over 30 years of service to Round-Up festivities, he is best known for his service as Lake County Commissioner. George is a third generation Summer Lake farmer, his grandfather settling on a homestead in 1905, and continued to increase his land from Summer Lake to Wagontire and Riley, eventually splitting the ranches between his Carlon three sons in 1954.

Old west photo booth By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Fair-goers will have the chance this year to revisit the old west by recreating a scene that may have happened when saloons were thriving, outlaws were riding high and when the Sheriff was the only lawman able to bring them down. This will happen by way of a western-themed photo booth hosted by Desert Arts Theater (DAT). A set resembling the Lake County jail will be the background that allowing those who pose to use their imagination as to what sort of scene they want photographed. Gear such as dusters, leather vests, cowboy hats, saddle bags, and ropes were donated by Murphy’s Ranch in Paisley, to act as props for the people being pictured. “It’s something that will add a little sparkle to Round-Up,” said Elizabeth Christley, DAT chairman. “Everyone who comes by will leave with a little souvenir of Round-Up.” DAT is a newly formed nonprofit theater group with the goal of

Prints will be sold for $5 each and will be set up at the south side of Exhibit Hall 1 at the Lake County Fairgrounds at all operating hours of the fair. Funds collected will go toward DAT’s next production, an audience participation murder mystery named “The Wedding Reception” scheduled for Oct. 30 and Nov. 1 at the Lake County Fairgrounds.

Worden, 4-H Trooper

Standing next to his Berkshire pig, Bert, Joe Worden is looking forward to the excitement of fair by doing all he can to prepare Bert for showing. By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner For four years running, Joe Worden of Fort Rock has prepared an

assortment of swine to show during the Lake County Fair that is sure to get big bucks when it is time to auction his hard work to the highest

bidder. But for Worden, 13, raising a pig for the last four months isn’t about the money that can be earned when the gavel hits; it’s more about the end result after the intensive care and labor. “I just like raising the pig to get good quality meat out of them,” said Worden. As a member of the North Lake Livestock Club, Worden is in his fourth year as a 4-H member, gaining essential experience under his belt in that time. Much of his guidance comes from his grandfather, Ralph Worden, who raises hogs in Santa Rosa, Calif. In fact, his grandfather, whose specialty is the Berkshire pig, the oldest registered breed known for its quality of meat, gave four of the renowned pigs to the

Worden family. Ralph’s Californian pig farm has 10 sows, so there are plenty to share when it is time to get ready for fair. Ever since May, Worden has been hard at work to get Bert, this year’s pig, to become the best possible. Three hours per day is dedicated to feeding, walking and washing Bert, all the work is done in hopes becoming grand champion or at least reserve grandchampion at this year’s showings. Worden said that walking Bert is the hardest part of all since he can get disoriented and likes to socialize more than the average swine. Along with building up the muscle, a characteristic buyers look for when bidding, Worden feeds his animal Show100 pig feed, a food that

his grandfather uses that is 19 percent protein to get the best meat on Bert’s bones. Every year Worden looks forward to fair time since it is when he gets to show the fruits of his labor and to compete while getting to see his friends in the process. Though Worden isn’t taking on another project this year, in past seasons he has done quilt work to show, which has gained him reserve grand champion and state medallions. After his education, though only in eighth grade at North Lake High School currently, he is looking to pursue architecture based on his fascination and hobby of drawing buildings and houses in his spare time.

Family Day a Certainty for Fun at Fair By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Lake County Youth Mentor Program does a great job around Lake County coordinating youth activities, and the fun they have will once again be on full display at the fair during Family Day on Saturday, Sept. 5. Continuing a fair tradition, mentors coordinate a series of outdoor games for kids one day at the fair. Commencing at 4 p.m., kids will be separated into age groups so that everyone has an opportunity to participate in a variety of fun and friendly activities. For ages 3-5 there will be a threelegged race, egg relay and gunnysack race. Ages 6-8 will get to experience the same events as ages 3-5, as well as adding a hula hoop race and wheelbarrow race. For ages 9-12 there will be an egg toss along with all previously mentioned events. Finally, to close out festivities an all-ages tug-of-war will commence. Last year’s tug-of-war even included a special guest referee for the tug-of-war, as Oregon State University’s own Benny the Beaver made the trip from Corvallis. The events are free and everyone is

Queen Mattee Vickerman, Pres. James Price and Princess Ruby Wilson have had a busy spring with more to come this Labor Day weekend. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner With every new Lake County RoundUp comes the expectation to do it bigger and better than the year prior, the pressure falling squarely on the shoulders of the Round-Up president to deliver. This year James Price assumes that role, with the added burden of coordinating with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) to truly make the show at the fairgrounds a sight to behold. The role of president is passed along to the previous year’s vice-president, a position that is selected by a collective of past presidents each year. The job carries with it certain prestige, but behind the scenes a tremendous amount of work to make sure that by the time rodeo fans start packing the stands everything associated with the show is accounted for. Of course Price isn’t alone in this venture, a wealth of past presidents, volunteers and Round-Up committee members all participate in the process, but at the end of the day any failures or issues associated with the Round-Up fall squarely back on the president. In the months leading up to the RoundUp, it is a combination of paperwork, planning, preparation and promotion. A veritable whirlwind of extensive maintenance at the fairgrounds, finalizing details of the events to come and traveling around Oregon with the Round-Up Court to promote the Round-Up at other rodeos must all be kept organized. The schedule can be down-

right grueling, and balancing normal life often takes a backseat. “There’s a million things to do, from arena maintenance to making sure all the events are scheduled and bands will show… there’s a lot,” said Price. “To be honest, everything else in life kind of slacks off and the focus is on rodeo more. It’s the biggest weekend in Lake County for sure, and there is pressure to make sure it all goes smooth and I’m not forgetting anything. Thankfully it’s a big committee, I get a lot of help from people.” It’s a role that Price has been raised his whole life to assume, having grown up around rodeo, competing in junior rodeos and continuing his rodeo career in college, while still team roping today. Price can’t place exactly when he started his involvement with the Round-Up, recalling that Larry Maxwell recruited him many years ago to work in the bucking chutes and he has steadily been involved ever since. It’s the PRCA affiliation that has caused the biggest increase in workload for the Round-Up president. While the PRCA connection raises the Round-Up to a whole new level of competition with better cowboys and bigger bulls, inevitably it also brings an increase in paperwork and regulations required to ensure that the show ROUND-UP PRESIDENT runs smoothly.

preparations have included painting the arena, with which a local 4-H group assisted as well as the fairgrounds staff, maintaining the Re-Ride Room and second arena, and coordinating schedules. “The PRCA connection for the president creates a big difference,” said Price. “It’s a lot more complicated. I’ve heard from a lot of past presidents that say they’re glad they don’t have to deal with it like I do.” Of course there is also the travel, taking the Round-Up queen and princess on the road to various promotional events, this year having gone as far as the St. Paul rodeo to educate rodeo fans about all that Lake County has to offer. Price is excited about the new additions to events this year, which he believes will make 2015 the biggest Lake County RoundUp ever. Two additional PRCA events have been added, women’s barrel racing and steer roping, along with team roping taking place for three days in the second arena as a memorial to Neil Flynn. These added to the already busy calendar of concerts, parades, calcuttas, fair festivities and more make for a full slate of fun to coordinate. While feeling the pressure to deliver, Price looks forward to taking it all in. “I’m pretty excited, maintaining the rodeo tradition is important, rodeo has gotten more exciting,” said Price. “The Round-Up is the event on the calendar, it’s our Christmas. Everyone has their class reunions, everyone comes to town for that weekend. It’s something that we’ve got to keep building on and not let it dwindle.” Admittedly though, according to Price, what he is perhaps most looking forward to is the moment when it is all over, having earned a well-deserved long nap following another successful Round-Up. Then the pressure falls on Scott Graham, this year’s vice president, to find a way to make the 2016 Round-Up even bigger and better.

Wilson represents North Lake as Round-Up princess By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Amidst the many girls trying out for the Lake County Round-Up Royal Court this year, it was “dumb luck” as Round-Up Pres. James Price put it in getting not one but two girls from the northern part of the county on the Court, with the selection of Ruby Wilson as Round-Up Princess. Price believes that Wilson, along with Queen Mattee Vickerman of Paisley, will bring added interest for this year’s Round-Up from North Lake residents, and finds it refreshing to have two girls representing the far corner of Lake County.

Wilson is certainly a fine representation of the ranching lifestyle that embodies Lake County. The eldest daughter of Matt and Rachel Wilson of Silver Lake, Wilson has grown up ranching with her dad, instilled from an early age the ability to ride and care for animals. The Wilson family operates the Butterfly Ranch, which takes in abused and abandoned animals providing a second chance at life. Wilson has four sisters; Matteline, Violet, Iris and Opal.

Vickerman embodies Lake County spirit as Round-Up Queen Representing Lake County as the head of the 2015 RoundUp Court is Queen Mattee Vickerman, 16, of Paisley. An incoming junior at Paisley High School, it is Vickerman’s first year on the court, but a role she proudly takes on to represent Lake County, with an added dose of pride that this year’s court has taken a decidedly northern Lake County turn in its representation. “It’s so important to maintain the tradition and lifestyle of Lake County,” said Vickerman. “This represents what we do all day. We ride horses and move cows, it represents us. This is a chance to show people how we live, we’re very wholesome in what we do. A lot of former rodeo queens have moved north and seem really drawn in wanting to help me, which has been great.” As queen, Vickerman gets plenty of opportunities to showcase that Lake County lifestyle beyond its borders, spending much of the summer traveling to rodeos and events around the state to promote the Lake County Round-Up. With the raised stakes of the Round-Up being now in its second year of affiliation with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), the added interest has resulted in added miles on the itinerary traveling much further than in past years to promote the event. Putting Lake County at the forefront in places not often traveled has garnered new interest, and Vickerman has been proud to educate By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

place, and we’re happy to give back. All the time we’ve heard from people wondering where Lake County is, but then we also get the people who ask if we know this family or that one, which is great to make those connections.” Like many of Lake County’s girls, Vickerman has lived the rural western lifestyle, having grown up riding horses and doing ranch work. She has been active in 4-H for a decade, being named president of the High Desert Cattle 4-H Club, and is excited to not only represent Lake County as queen for the Round-Up but is also bringing a calf heifer to fair. Vickerman is on Paisley High School’s student council and is a member of National Honor Society. She is the daughter of Bret and Nicole Vickerman, and has three siblings, RaeLea, Alena and Basil. Vickerman has a special affinity for sports, finding a love for basketball in particular along with showing horses and roping, with an eye towards the future of a possible career in agriculture, equine science or the cattle industry. Most of all it is the ability to represent her home of Paisley and the entire county in the ongoing great tradition of the Photo Courtesy of Holloway Photography Round-Up that has Vickerman both humbled 4H[[LL =PJRLYTHU VM 7HPZSL` PZ H ÄUL and excited for her role as queen. representation of Lake County spirit as “I want to represent Lake County and this year’s Lake County Round-Up Queen. its honest, hardworking, prideful citizens because this unique county is my home,” Oregon residents about Lake County’s little said Vickerman. “I want to promote and corner of the state. embody the values that we share, and con“I am absolutely honored that we are tinue to educate myself and our upcoming able to represent such an awesome coun- generation here, as well as in other areas ty,” said Vickerman. “It’s truly an amazing about our livelihoods and integrity.”

“Having an all-North Lake court has definitely added to the appeal,” said Wilson. “There’s a lot of people in Silver Lake that have said how great it is because it’s been so long since a girl from here was on the court. It’s a big deal to them, they want to be recognized and remembered too. I’m hoping as a whole it will pull the county back together, because it is very split.” Wilson is a recent graduate of North Lake High School, where she excelled both academically and athletically. A member of the North Lake basketball and volleyball teams while also participating on the FFA National Soils Judging Team, Chapter Treasurer for North Lake FFA and a participant in the North Lake Rodeo Association, Wilson also found time to help out in the elementary wing at her school as a teacher’s assistant. She has aspirations to study education in college to become an elementary school teacher. When not working on the family ranch, she enjoys barrel racing, archery, sewing, shooting skeet and fly-fishing. While it is Wilson’s first time on a rodeo court, she did previously try out for the La Pine Rodeo Queen, earning runner-up. While Wilson had expressed interest in pos-

sibly competing in barrel racing at this year’s Round-Up, she quickly found out that her job as princess leaves little free time for that or other activities. The touring schedule has been busy all summer, traveling around the state to rodeos and promotional events to spread the word about Lake County’s annual Round-Up. Wilson said she has learned a lot in her role as princess in terms of presentation and personality, though it has been an adjustment for both her and her horse, Rope Elena. “This is definitely a job, it’s a huge responsibility to maintain a professional attitude and appearance at all times” laughed Wilson. “There’s so much preparation that goes into this. I hairspray my horse’s mane so much now, I think he hates me because he’s just a ranch horse and all of a sudden I’ve been brushing him constantly and doing so much preparation.” With an added dose of pride for being able to represent her corner of the county, Wilson exudes great confidence and Lake County spirit, humbled in being able to display her love for her home bePhoto Courtesy of Holloway Photography ing able to represent the good-hearted people of 2015 Princess Ruby Wilson all of Lake County.

It’s been a meteoric rise to stardom for Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney, known better as the Nashville-based collective Dan + Shay, last year becoming the first duo in history to have their debut album reach No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart in its first week of release. Now they’re bringing their seamless blend of country rock and pop to Lakeview as headliners for the 2015 Lake County Round-Up concert on Saturday, Sept. 5. After signing to Warner Bros. Nashville Records, Dan + Shay’s 2014 debut album “Where It All Began” was a hit for the young songwriters, who met in Nashville and began performing together only a few years ago. Fueled by the chart-topping success of their hit lead single “19 You + Me”, their place among country music’s rising stars has been cemented with the success of their follow-up hit “Show You Off” and their newest single, “Nothing’ Like You.” Dan + Shay were nominated for Vocal Duo of the Year awards at the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards, CMT Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards. “It’s been a crazy journey,” said Smyers. “We wake up everyday and pinch ourselves asking if this is real. We spent years paying our dues and mastering our craft, but for a while there I couldn’t even get a show in my hometown, and suddenly now to be touring around the country and performing for huge crowds is so surreal. We’re just trying to enjoy the moment.” Before pairing up, each had found moderate success on their own, Mooney as a solo artist on Nappy Boy Entertainment and Smyers as a member of the bands Bonaventure and Transition. After meeting

in late 2012 the two began writing songs together, their first song ever finding great interest from country superstars Rascal Flats. While a collaboration never materialized, soon songwriter publishing deals came flooding in, resulting in Dan + Shay becoming Warner Bros. next country stars. It has been a whirlwind experience for the two since their album was released, touring extensively both as a headline act and in support of artists such as Hunter Hayes and Blake Shelton, while performing across the country including music’s most hallowed ground, the Grand Ole Opry. Their music has been used on several television program, including the show Nashville. “We still get to be fans too,” said Smyers. “We try to be cool about it when we’re meeting people we idolized like Keith Urban, but now that we’ve toured with him long enough we can say things like, ‘You know we’re seriously like your biggest fans ever’ and not have it be weird. I’m sure it was cool for them when they were coming up and and meeting their heroes, so they can relate. It’s been such a blessing getting to play at places like Madison Square Garden and the Grand Ole Opry opening for artists we love, hopefully we too can headline places like Red Rocks someday.” Their sound while heavily influenced by country music has a clear aesthetic more akin to modern pop, with instantly catchy hooks and riffs just as easily seen on MTV as CMT, showcasing a strong songwriting talent well beyond their years. Harmonyrich and enthusiastically upbeat, their music blends different genres they grew up listening to coming together as one to make a sound all their own. Taking elements of

rock, R&B and pop, Dan + Shay place a modern pop spin on the sounds they cite as their primary influences through artists such as Urban and Tim McGraw. “Genres have become more blended now these days, and I love it,” said Smyers. “It’s great when we can connect with a fan who isn’t necessarily a fan of country but after hearing us it opens up a new interest for them in discovering different music.” Sure to be arena headliners for years to come following in other great RoundUp acts who have gone on to even greater heights such as The Band Perry and Dustin Lynch, don’t miss a chance to see in person country’s newest sensations—Dan + Shay. “We’re really looking forward to playing there,” added Smyers. “It seems like fair crowds, particularly in out of the way places, are just so happy to hear music because they don’t get the experience as much as in major cities where there may be 10 big shows going on that night. It gives us perspective and a drive to put on a great show. We try to do as many meet and greets with fans as possible too, because I can still remember whenever somebody came to my small hometown when I was growing up it was such a big deal and so cool to get to meet them.” Tickets for the concert are $25 for general admission, $30 for grandstands and $35 for box seats, available for purchase at Umpqua Bank in Lakeview located at 1 N. E St. The concert will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Lake County Fairgrounds on Saturday, Sept. 5. Olivia will be the opening act. For more information visit www.danandshay.com.

Singer with Round-Up ties to open concert By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner It is an odd full-circle path through the generations taking place at this year’s Lake County Fair and Round-Up concert, as this year’s opening act has familial ties with the event, her mother being one of the first concert performers at the Round-Up. Olivia, 19-year-old daughter of singer Joni Harms, who first kicked off the annual Round-Up Concert tradition, is a country singer and songwriter from Canby. Growing up on a multi-generational 40-acre farm established by her great-grandfather in 1872, Olivia’s music comes from her experiences being surrounded by agriculture and an artistic family. Her mother toured with young Olivia by her side for most of Olivia’s young life,

The The

learning to play guitar by nine years old and often joining her mother onstage. Soon she was writing material of her own to perform for family and friends, finding the draw of the stage and musical performance to truly be hereditary. “I recall getting up on stage when I was about six and thinking that it was the most exhilarating and exciting feeling I had ever experienced,� said Olivia. “I knew in that moment that playing music was what I wanted to do.� After years of traveling in support of her mother’s musical career, Olivia finally recorded and released her own debut album in 2012. In the time since she has performed across the country, including stops at the National FFA Convention, National Finals Rodeo, Denver Stock Show, Miss Rodeo America Pageant and the Corral Boot

It has always been a huge part of my life, and I can’t imagine life without it. I am so thankful that I get to do something I love, and that other people enjoy it too. I thank God every day for giving me the gift of music and I thank my fans for letting me share my passion with them.�

Reese Takes on FFA Program By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner New Lakeview Future Farmers of America (FFA) advisor Kristy Reese has a long legacy and history in the program with hopes of carrying it forward through her tenure in her new position. Reese’s history began with her father Bob Warner as her own FFA advisor and teacher. Warner taught agriculture at Lakeview High School starting in 1973 spanning 27 years and provided an example of ideal teaching that Reese would like to emulate in the same position. Reese said that her father was so successful in his position and as a member of the community that he influenced his students’ lives so profoundly that many went on to pursue careers in the fields that he instructed. She admits that they have different strengths, he more focused on mechanics and she more in agriculture, but Reese hopes to have a similar effect on her students. During her high school years, Reese participated in FFA and its many leadership activities, going to state in creed speaking and getting fourth place in public speaking. She also was on the parliamentary procedure team along with a wide variety

of other contests. Reese eventually obtained her State Farmer Degree, which required a great amount of monetary and time effort in the enterprise, she explained. Though her involvement in FFA waned through the years as Reese pursued her career in veterinary sciences, she stayed involved in her children’s 4-H and FFA projects along with working on family ranches west of Lakeview. Since her children became more involved in FFA, her daughter Ashley, 19, being FFA president last year and second daughter Megan, 17, this year’s vice-president, her interest in the program has reignited. Reese’s sons Evan, 14, and Zachary, 13, also will be participating in FFA programs having been heavily involved with 4-H in past years. Along with her four agricultural classes Reese will be teaching, she will supervise all the FFA chapter’s programs and take students to leadership classes and extracurricular activities. Though much of her attention will be on the program and teaching, she will still maintain her work as veterinarian at Lakeview Animal Hospital. “I’m too attached to my little buddies to be able to quit cold turkey,” she laughed.

As she looks forward to the possibilities that await her, Reese plans to strengthen the program in many ways such as develop the FFA farm while increasing program enrollment and activity. Reese explained that her approach would be to tailor the instruction to what students have interest in whether they are veterinary sciences, agriculture mechanics or leadership. In anticipation of Lake County Fair, which acts as the pinnacle of the year’s worth of efforts, Reese has been visiting FFA members’ projects to give additional guidance to the students and ensure that their projects are the best that they can be. Other duties include helping out in putting on showmanship clinics, organizing the Labor Day Parade float, collecting funds for the Lakeview Pool for the livestock auction and preparing the FFA booth for fair. Through her endeavors as FFA advisor, Reese looks to uphold the family tradition of teaching and impacting young students’ lives while she’s at it. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to hopefully influence lives in a positive direction,” Reese said.

Round-Up to feature Ranch Rodeo Events By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Rodeo fans will be treated to more arena action than ever before at this year’s Lake County Round-Up, with several days of additional rodeo events leading into the two-day PRCA main event. The fun begins on Thursday, Sept. 3 with a kids rodeo for calf branding, starting with a Calcutta of four-member teams of participants ages 18 and under starting at 1 p.m. Events will immediately follow, where each team tries to brand four different calves in the fastest possible time. Friday, Sept. 4 will feature a full-on ranch rodeo in the main arena, open to anyone interested in competing, comprised of teams of four facing off in events such as team branding, team doctoring, mule roping and a ranch horse contest. A Calcutta for the teams will begin at 9 a.m., with events immediately following and an open team-branding event following completion of the ranch rodeo. Both day’s events are presented by the Round-Up Association. “The ranch rodeo is geared more towards the local working cowboys and competitors,” said Round-Up Pres. James Price. “There are

onstruction

some people who do ranch rodeos full-time following them around the country, since there is a ranch rodeo finals in Winnemucca.” It is free to enter the kids rodeo and ranch rodeo for competitors, and free for spectators to come enjoy the fun. According to Price, the response of interested competitors has been terrific, sure to make for a great event. Closing out Friday, Sept. 4 will be a ranch bronc riding competition starting at 6 p.m. The event is sanctioned by the Western States Ranch Rodeo Association, with both local Lake County riders and those from out of the area scheduled to compete for a purse totaling $2,500. Following bronc riding, the Calcutta for the two-day PRCA prime event will commence in the ReRide Room, followed by live music performed by the Cherry Road Gang. “One of the things we’re doing that’s a little different is a Calcutta for the top-ten ranch bronc riders, and they will be coming back in one of the PRCA performances,” added Price. Entry forms for the Thursday and Friday events are available at www.lakecountyroundup.com or call 541-219-1021.

Barrys, Long-Time Exhibitors

JIMMY HALL/Lake County Examiner

By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Bill and Irene Barry are always thrilled to present the end results of their hard work at the Lake County Fair.

For several years Bill and Irene Barry have been hard at work to grow and present the best that their expansive garden can offer at the Lake County Fair. Their specialties range widely with a great amount of varieties and quality of care that they put into each flower and vegetable that sprouts from their home gardens. Just as in years past, the couple will be presenting their efforts at the floral and produce exhibits hoping to gain more desirable blue ribbons. “The reason why we (present at the fair) is because we love people to see pretty flowers,” said Irene. “We just want to share it with everyone.” Irene reasoned that they like to share what comes out of their garden with people in Lake County because it gives the public more of an idea of what can be grown in the area, and what can be grown is plentiful. In their small plot of land, south of Lakeview up against the hills where the gardens are irrigated from Crane Creek saving hundreds of dollars per month, is a great amount of diversity in flower and vegetable life. Bill explained that one of the most challenging flowers to grow are dalias since they are a particular species of flower that are susceptible to every kind of chemical that can be used on plants. They can also become victims of frost during winter. If cold weather becomes too extreme, gardeners have to dig up the bulbs to save them. Bill said that since their gardens are tucked behind the hills they are protected from the frost, which is convenient since a bulb can cost $25 each. Along with dalias, the Barry’s grow tea roses, phlox, daises, snap-dragons, sweet Williams, and many other species of flowers. At the fair, flowers are judged based on characteristics that

they are supposed to exhibit, explained Bill, pointing out the features that should come with each of the species of flower. They also find great success in their produce endeavors, growing a diversity of vegetables such as, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes, green beans, red potatoes and corn. A couple of pumpkins are getting plumper each day that the Barry’s are also planning to show. In past years the Barrys have shown a cabbage that weighed 12 pounds and one year they had a cauliflower that weighed 10 pounds. Vegetable judging is based on consistency of each species so they must provide about six of each to prove that it came from their garden. These efforts don’t come overnight or on a whim. The Barrys start to do the initial preparations the first part of May in their greenhouse then move them to the outside gardens in June. From there it takes day-to-day watering, weeding and care including fertilizing the soil with manure that has been composted for 3-5 years. The work isn’t much of a burden for the couple though. Irene said that tending the growth is more like recreation and therapy that keeps them young. Of course, the two can’t keep the flowers in their home or eat all the produce grown so they find ways to put the fruits of their labors to good use. Irene has gained the nickname as “the flower lady” since she takes any flowers she can spare to patients at the Lake District Hospital. They donate as much produce as they can to the St. Patrick Church booth at the Saturday Market. Though the hours are long to attend the garden and all its assortments of flowers and eatables, the couple finds great joy in the process that accumulates to sharing their joy each year at the Lake County Fair. “That’s what keeps us going,” said Irene.

Fair Prep, Organizational Venture for Albertson By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner As Lake County Fair Association president since 2011, Nancy Albertson has been hard at work for the past few months to guarantee the smoothest fair experience possible for those who decide to show any flower, produce, craft or animal in open class. Though she has been president for the past four years, she has been a part of the association for double that, heading such departments as livestock, produce and small animals. Helping put together Fair for these many years isn’t something that she was raised around, Albertson was born in New York City, but she has given her best efforts when ever a need arose to ensure it continued to move forward. Albertson got her start in 4-H, FFA and Lake County Fair through her daughter, Krystal, who beganshowing horses in 4-H in fourth grade, then growing into deeper roles by taking over clubs after

leaders left. Albertson’s involvement expanded as her daughter showed animals in FFA throughout high school and college. In her position as president, Albertson is responsible for assigning stalls, making sure that exhibitors are signed up properly, scribing for the open class judges, and ensuring the state veterinarian completes checks of each animal in the row. She said that the most labor-intensive part is entering data for fair entries so that records are kept straight and payouts and ribbons properly distributed. With the help of department heads, Albertson organizes open class entries including sewing, fiber arts, ceramics, art, produce, floral, crafts and all species of livestock. The amount of exhibits grows from year to year and is only complemented by adjoining counties Deschutes, Harney, Klamath and Modoc. “It’s our big event of the year,” Albertson said, which may be an understatement since she estimates

that she works about 16 hours per day over Labor Day weekend to complete her daily Fair duties. Preparations for the next Fair begin a couple months after the previous one ends, giving Fair Association members a bit of time to catch their breath. After that, they are full steam ahead in monthly meetings to discuss possible improvements for the next year’s Fair. Other than preparing for the annual Lake County Fair, Albertson has her hands full assisting her daughter with goat breeding, helping her husband’s livestock, gardening, as treasurer of the Westside Grange, show chairman for the Lake County Horsemen’s Association and many other undertakings. “We have to be organized or it’s not going to happen,” Albertson said, “and it takes people to make it happen.” She invited anyone interested in helping out in a committee to volunteer their time and energy, following her exmaple to address any evident need.

Corporate Sponsors Help Make the Round-Up Happen By Kurt LIedtke Lake County Examiner

Between concerts, rodeo, stock and other funfilled affairs surrounding the annual Lake County Fair and Round-Up, somebody’s got to pay for it all. Thanks to the hard work of a group of dedicated volunteers and the tremendous support of corporate sponsors, fundraising is as high as it has ever been for the Round-Up, ensuring its continued success. Since launching a corporate sponsorship program 12 years ago, over, $245,000 has been provided by Klamath Basin businesses to pay for rodeo cash prizes and aspects of the Round-Up. When the Round-Up moved up to Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) affiliation, the corporate support nearly doubled. Now in its second year of being a PRCA event, funds raised have topped $71,000 just for this year alone. “It speaks to the kind of support for the event, especially now that we’re adding a ranch rodeo, there are more things being consolidated,” said Patsy Hall of Hall Motor Company, one of the companies heavily supporting this year’s Round-Up through corporate sponsorship and a member of the Round-Up committee. “It’s something I want to continue to be involved in because this event is a mainstay for the community and a nice way to give back.” Corporate sponsors are split into four categories: Cattle Baron ($5,000), Stockman ($2,500), Homesteader ($1,500) and Wrangler ($750). In addition

KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner

Sponsorship of chutes at the fairgrounds arena is just one way that businesses help make the Round-Up possible. Corporate sponsorships are at an all-time high this year, resulting in bigger cash prizes alluring the top competitors to participate in the Lake County Round-Up.

there are sponsors of Buckaroo signs at $500 each and Round-Up Contributor sponsorships at $250 each. All combined, $71,750 has been provided for this year’s events. “Year to year it continues to be more fruitful,” said Hall. “I think more people are willing to participate because they liked what they saw last year, and they like where it might be going. With almost 100 years of tradition it’s obviously an event that this community gets behind in support of our Western heritage. People are just so behind it, there’s no negativity, when I speak with people who were sponsors in the past they are happy to support it again and again.” While many small town rural rodeos are dying off, Lake County’s

rodeo continues to grow, adding more events this year and expanding the events and scale of the PRCA Round-Up. Cash prizes for each PRCA event have been raised as well, further adding to the appeal for the best rodeo cowboys in the country to flock to Lakeview. The growth is thanks in part to a dedicated group of volunteers working to coordinate events and fundraise, in recent years doing more to include communities in the north end of the county too. “I am so impressed with the group of directors, for a volunteer organization it takes the involvement of every single person to make this function,” said Hall. “Everyone is working to make it a class act, elevating it to being a showpiece.”

Les Schwab Tires is the lone Cattle Baron sponsor for the 2015 Lake County RoundUp. Stockman sponsors include Bank of Eastern Oregon, Cornerstone Industrial Minerals, Fitzgerald Partners, Inc., Fuel C o m m a n d e r - E d ’s, Hall Motor Compa-

ny, Lakeview Animal Hospital, Pacific Pine Products, Pardue Construction, Rock Solid Builders, SS Equipment, Top Knot Hats/ Lisa Robinson, True Value Hardware and Western Video/Shasta Livestock/Todd Muller. Homesteader sponsors include Quartz Mountan Gold, Anderson Engineering and Surveying, Columbia Distributing/Coors, Don Liddycoat CPA, Klamath Orthopedic & Sports Medicine, Knife River, Lakeview Sanitation, O’Keeffe Ranch, ProBuild, Rivers End Ranch and Rob Thornton Builders. Wrangler sponsors are Coastal Farm & Ranch, Eagle’s Nest Food & Spirits, Hansen’s Outback Butcher Shop, Leupold & Stevens, Inc., Philibert Construction, Relief Chiropractic, Umpqua Bank, U.S. Bank, Warner Mountain Medical Clinic and Washington Federal Bank. There are also 10 Buckaroo sign sponsors and 21 Round-Up Contributor sponsors.

Re-Ride Room Tunes Up By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

SUBMITTED PHOTO

BREW will return to Lakeview to perform at the Re-Ride Room for two nights of performances. Also performing will be Cherry Road Gang.

Those who come through the Re-Ride Room, located west of the Lake County arena’s grandstand, are certain to be entertained by two bands, BREW and Cherry Road Gang, from their first song to their last. BREW, billed as “The longest surviving band that never hit big time,” has significant ties to Lake County, a couple of its members graduating from Lakeview High School. In the 1970’s they gained local and regional acclaim by playing at various parties, at the courthouse’s Memorial Hall and hitting the road to play at scores of colleges and high schools around the state to get their name out in the public. The band has gone through different incarnations throughout their more than 40 years of history, the members coming through this year being Cleve Brock, Lee Matchett, Marlin Martindale, Matt Matthews and Bob Crummett. This is the same line-up that last came to perform in 2013, which is a feat since they are strewn across the Pacific Northwest, the closest (Matchett) living in Klamath Falls, the farthest away in Provo, Utah. “We get better with age, getting old ain’t for sissies,” Matchett said with a smile when speaking about their sound and their extensive history in making music. “Anyone who was there two years ago knows it will be a fantastic party.” BREW’s sound is 60s and 70s

rock and roll, playing both covers and original material and will be performing Sunday night. The other band set to perform may seem like a younger version of BREW with their attitude and serious approach to music. Cherry Road Gang from Kelseyville, Calif. is named after an actual location in the Northern Bay Area of California where three of the members’ grandfather and his nine brothers were raised. Together the brothers ran a moonshine operation during the prohibition (never convicted), drafted to professional football teams and served as decorated officers in WWII, Vietnam and Korea. Upon taking turns serving, the brothers worked to keep people safe in the Cherry Street community. Their name helps remind them of their ancestry and their grandparents and grand-uncles stood for. The four piece group made up of Clay Andrade (lead singer/ rhythm guitar), Travis Warne (lead guitar), Canaan Andrade (drums) and Cody Andrade (bass guitar) are inspired by Andrades’ father’s southern rock and roll sound, successfully blending country, blues and rock to create a unique genre all in itself. They will provide the music on Friday and Saturday evenings. Be sure to come down to the Re-Ride Room when BREW and Cherry Road Gang are in full swing on their instruments.

Albertson Memorial 5k run funds scholarship By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

To honor one who has since passed, the second annual Anna Mae 5k is set for Sunday, Sept. 6 at 8 a.m. with registration at 7:30 a.m. at Union Elementary School. There are several ways to conquer the 5k course such as running, walking, biking, horseback riding and even 4-wheelers are acceptable to go the distance. The event will end at the Westside Cemetery. Lindsey Birch, organizer and granddaughter of the event’s namesake, Anna Mae Albertson, said that the event acts as a way to remember an exemplary Lake County citi-

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Whether walking, running or riding, the focus of the Anna Mae Albertson 5k is to remember an exmaple of love shown around the country. zen who passed away on Sept. 16, 2013. “Grandma stood for community and the people you are around and making a difference with what you have,” said Birch, “so I wanted

the run to be a representation of reflecting her life.” She further explained that Anna Mae had a life full of love for her children, and over 74 grandchildren and great-

grandchildren. Through her example she showed what it was like to be part of a community and stand up for what each believe in. “This is a way to get the community together to remember our roots and raise money for our future,” said Birch of the memorial run. The proceeds of the event will go toward a trade school scholarship for high school students. Birch said that before Anna Mae passed away she requested that any donations in her name go toward kids’ futures. Trade schools were a soft spot in her heart since Anna Mae’s widower, Leo, supported the family through mechanics.

The run is scheduled for Labor Day weekend because it is a great time for family and outof-towners to take part in the remembrance. Last year, there were over 60 who entered, raising more than $1,600 for the scholarship. T-shirts with a tree design to echo family roots and the future will be on sale to commemorate the event. Sign-ups before hand will be at the Happy Horse located at 728 N. 4th St. in Lakeview. There is a $25 registration fee.

35&$ FRQQHFWLRQ \LHOGV UHVXOWV By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner This year’s Lake County Round-Up will be the 96th time that cowboys flock to Lakeview for the annual event, but only the second time that the Round-Up will bring the absolute best in the world thanks to a continued partnership with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA). Considered the major leagues of rodeo, it was a big gamble that organizers of the Round-Up took in 2014, throwing in extra money to boost the annual event up to the

big leagues of rodeos by adding PRCA-affiliation. The connection brought bigger bulls and broncs, better cowboys and an all-around larger show with an enlarged cash pot. Fair to say the gamble paid off, as the PRCA has brought all-new attention to Lake County’s premier event. “It came to a point where we had been a sleeper rodeo for a long time,� said Clark Maxwell, the 2014 Lake County Round-Up president. “We have a great atmosphere and it was time to make the step forward.� This year in its second go-round of af-

filiation, the show promises to be even bigger. Some of the top names in rodeo have scheduled stops along the circuit in Lakeview, and bigger stock promises better action. Additional events are being added to the show in 2015, with women’s barrel racing and steer roping. There has been such a drawn interest from cowboys planning to flock to Lakeview for this year’s Round-Up that they have added a Ranch Rodeo on Friday, Sept. 4 along with three straight days of team roping action as a Neil Flynn memorial event in the secondary arena,

as well as a slack performance of overflow competitors on Monday, Sept. 7. The cash prizes have been raised this year too from the inaugural amounts offered last year thanks to the generous support of corporate sponsors, further adding to the appeal. With all the side shows in addition to the two-day main event, rodeo fans are sure to get their fill. “The PRCA connection made a night and day difference last year, it was huge,â€? said 2015 Lake County Round-Up Pres. James Price. “In years past our saddle bronc riders and bull riders weren’t covering the stock. With the PRCA the stock is better, the cowboys are better, it’s more exciting. Just a night and day difference.â€? Word has certainly spread of the Round-Up’s added appeal, as Price and the Round-Up Court have spent much of the summer traveling across Oregon to promote this year’s event, finding that many rodeo fans KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner are already well aware Casey Coleman gets a little closer to a saddle bronc than he was of the PRCA connection and strongly considerPU[LUKPUN K\YPUN JVTWL[P[PVU H[ [OL 79*( 9V\UK <W 79*( HMĂ„SPH[PVU ing making the trek to guarantees better stock and the best cowboys competing, meaning bigger Lakeview as a result. bulls and badder buckin’ broncos sure to entertain. “It makes it an eas-

ier sell for us, granted it’s only the second year, but the difference is noticeable,� added Price. “We’re going to get bigger names, we had some last year that were in the national finals but we should have more this time around. We start getting those big name contestants in there and people are going to want to come out and see them compete.� There is an added advantage as well, in that Lakeview’s location qualifies it for three regions, the Columbia River Circuit, Wilderness Circuit for Nevada and the California Circuit. This means coming to Lakeview is particularly advantageous for cowboys to compete at the Round-Up, as strong performances could boost them in their circuit’s standings, increasing the chances of reaching the national finals competition in Las Vegas, Nev. The PRCA sanctions roughly 600 rodeos across North America each year. There are nearly 5,000 pro rodeo members competing on the circuit, with almost $39 million in prize money awarded across 1,700 performances.

Bulls take attention on Bender’s wear By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Now in their 12th year of selling attire at the Lake County Fair, Bender’s Promotional Products and Supplies is turning the tides to offer a new look for their annual design this go around. The logo this year is in full pastel color on heather grey material featuring a beastly bull dumping a rider off his back. In black and white behind the forefront characters illustrates the two sides that a bull rider can go: either stay on the bucking animal or get flung off and have to fend for their safety. The text underneath reads “96th Annual Lake County Fair & Round Up Labor Day 2015,” highlighted in a brilliant shade of blue. “No one sees the wrecks,” said Darryl Bender, owner of Bender’s with his wife Beverly. “We’ve done everything besides the animal. You forget about the animal being the athlete even more than the cowboy!” He said that the bull is looking at the rider in an almost taunting way like he knows that he had won the match-up. With every year and every design the Benders find themselves on the verge of selling out. They said that their customers

buy the shirts and other wear to remember the event as a souvenir, some even going as far as collecting each year’s designs. To the hobbyist’s demise though, Bender’s doesn’t order any more than around 350 pieces each year and, with the inability to order more, when each piece is sold there is no chance of getting any additional in stock. The more popular styles sell out faster than the others so the Benders give warning to customers to get their own as quickly as possible. “It’s neat that people are treating them as a keepsake rather than just apparel,” Darryl said, adding that he keeps prices low to be more affordable for fair-goers. Basic T-shirts will be sold for $18 while hoodies will go for $28 and full hoodies with a zipper will be sold at $32. Quarter-zippered tops with no hood will be sold for $34 and cadet-collared sweatshirts will be sold for $36. Crewneck shirts will run at $20. All styles will be sold from small to extra large sizes with small increases for oversized shirts. The wear will be available to purchase at Bender’s booth at the fair and pre-sale is now available by stopping by at Bender’s at 102 N. E St. in Lakeview to make sure that the coveted clothing is available come Labor Day weekend. For more information, contact Bender’s at 541-947-5255.

Adrenaline high at Destruction Derby By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Though rodeos, concerts and everything else around fair time garners a great amount of excitement, nothing brings the noise and mayhem like the Destruction Derby. For those wishing to cheer and jeer at this year’s Demolition Derby, expect standing room only at the Lake County Fairgrounds arena on the night of Sunday, Sept. 6. According to organizer and member of Lake County High Desert Cruisers, Mike Yates, ever since its inception in the late 60s the derby has been a hot event of Labor Day weekend. Spectators line up hours before the first reinforced vehicles collide to get good seating spots to take in all the action. This year there are an estimated 30 or

Reinforced rigs will smash and bash each other with hopes of their drivers gaining a great amount of prize money at the Fair’s Destruction Derby on Sunday night.

more cars and drivers to take to the arena for their chance at the top spot of each heat. There will be four or five heats with 8-10 cars competing including two main heats, a truck heat and a Powder Puff (or women’s) heat. The cars left standing after these events will be eligible for the main event and to earn themselves $500. Finalists will have a go at each other with the last remaining car running taking home the coveted trophy and $2,000 in prize money. Sponsors that contributed to the prize money are Napa Auto Parts, Lakeview Auto Parts, Les Schwab Tire, Cornerstone Industrial Minerals, Collins Pine Company, Lawson Logging and Darrell Jacobs.

Tickets are available at Napa Auto Parts, SS Equipment and Pacific Crest Federal Credit Union for $10 each. They will also be available for purchase at the gate for $15. The benefits of the event will go toward the Lakeview Little League. A 50/50 raffle will also be held to go for the cause. Piggybacking on the event will be the Lakeview High School Cheer Team to conclude its “Kiss the Pig” contest in between heats. The cheerleader who gets to smooch a pig in front of the masses is based on which of them raised the most at various donation jars strewn around the community. For more information about the Derby, call 541-417-1413.

Fair entertainment in abundance By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Fair isn’t the same without some good entertainment to enjoy while relaxing between viewing exhibits and attending the rodeo or when eating a lunch provided by food vendors. Entertainment this year is plentiful in both music and other avenues. On the band front, there are four acts that will take to the small stage located in front of the Lake County Fairgrounds arena. Nephilim is sched-

uled to perform all three days of the fair on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 4 and 5 at 4 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 6 from 4:30 to 6 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. The fourpiece musical act plays familiar rock classics by Pat Benatar, Joan Jett, ZZ Top, Billy Idol, Stevie Nicks and many more favorite hits that transcend generations. They also play modern hits from Pink, Jimmy Eat World and Lenny Kravitz. For more relaxing musical fare, Mood Swing will perform on Friday, Sept. 4 from 5:45

Roping events honor fallen president L a k e County prematurely lost one of its legendary local cowboys this year with the untimely passing of Neil Flynn in a roping accident last May. A former RoundUp President, Flynn had been the driving force behind the construction of a second arena at the fairgrounds, where during the Round-Up three days of team roping events will be held in his honor. “Neil was a big proponent for building the new arena and having roping events down there during Round-Up,” said 2015 Round-Up Pres.

People Memorial Fund, which with so many participants will run from sun up to sun down for three days from Saturday, Sept. 5 through Monday, Sept. 7. Events will be free to watch on Saturday, but due to the PRCA Round-Up taking place at the same time on Sunday and Monday, a Round-Up ticket will be required to access the Neil Flynn Memorial Arena to witness the competition on the final two days. “We’ve heard from teams coming from Montana, Washington, Idaho, California, all over Oregon, there’s going to be a huge turnout for this,” said Price. Due to the number of competitors, the team roping competition will continue for as long as there is sunlight, as the Neil Flynn Memorial Arena doesn’t have lights. It is a completely separate stock contractor from the PRCA providing cattle for the roping, assuring no shortage while the two events run side-by-side. In addition, there will also be a kids rodeo on Thursday, Sept. 3 and a ranch rodeo on Friday, Sept. 4, ensuring rodeo fans will have plenty of opportunities to get their fill, while also honoring a Lake County icon who personified a passion for roping.

2 6XOOLYDQ UHWXUQV KRPH WR IDPLOLDU JURXQGV By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Ross O’Sullivan is a relative youngster on the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) circuit, but will be stepping onto familiar grounds at the Lake County Round-Up when he competes as a header in team roping. While O’Sullivan claims Burns residence, his parents grew up in Lakeview and he has attended many Lake County Round-Ups in the past, as both a spectator and competitor. His parents were from Adel and Plush, both graduating from Lakeview High School, moving to Burns when Ross was still relatively young though he retains many memories of life in Lake County. “I’m related to a pile of people in Warner

Valley,” joked O’Sullivan about his ties to the area. “I try to come down every year for Labor Day weekend.” O’Sullivan began competing in rodeo events in 2006, having grown up roping and branding, though he never got into the arena until his freshman year

of high school. The bug quickly bit, continuing to compete throughout high school and into college, where his Walla Walla Community College team went to the finals from 2010-2012, his sixmember squad winning the championship in 2012. It was shortly after leaving Walla Walla that

O’Sullivan acquired his PRCA card in 2013, doing well on the circuit, even winning an event at Mountain Home, until a broken leg ended his season and much of his 2014 campaign as well. Now healed, O’Sullivan splits time between a full-time ranching position in Nevada and as many events as he can get to on weekends. “I can compete at a handful of events each year, it’s expensive and I’ve got to pay my way,” said O’Sullivan. For O’Sullivan, this year’s Round-Up will be a homecoming of sorts from a different perspective, not only a chance to see friends and family and take in the sights but once again compete in the arena, this time as a PRCA member going against some of the best in the world. Any aspect of advantage in compet-

ing on familiar grounds though O’Sullivan is quick to shrug off. “It could be anybody’s given day, in a sense, any rodeo event it’s about the draw,” said O’Sullivan. “If I draw better stock it gives me somewhat of an advantage, every rodeo event is like that.” While not full-time on the circuit, O’Sullivan has adapted well competing alongside year-round cowboys, helping to improve his skills. While occasionally claiming to get a few wide eyes when going against big names in the sport that are now his peers, he cites a saddle bronc riding legend, Billy Etbauer, as his rodeo hero. “He was the best that ever was,” O’Sullivan said. O’Sullivan will compete in the Sunday, Sept. 6 slack performance as a header in team roping.

A grand day for a parade on the town By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Fair and Round-Up offer plenty of activities, but when it comes to entertainment for all ages nothing beats a parade. The annual Labor Day Parade will commence on Monday, Sept. 7, starting at Lakeview High School and winding through Lakeview’s streets into downtown. A longstanding tradition, the annual parade for decades has brought together groups, organizations, communities and individuals with a passion for sharing in the spirit of Lake County on a large stage. Floats and participants begin lining up along L Street next to the Lakeview High School tennis courts by 9 a.m. for judging to begin, each entry vying

for awards including the coveted Best in Show in the float or horse division. The horse division encompasses all equestrian entries, from the rodeo court to the youngest and oldest mounted riders, visiting rodeo court, mounted junior and senior group, best western dress, best matched team and best single horse drawn entry. The floats meanwhile are a mix of classic cars, commercial, political, industrial, agricultural, club entries, most unique, junior and senior group and best out of town. By 10 a.m. the parade is off and running, blissfully honking horns, blasting sirens, throwing candy and waving to all who line the streets. The route garners not only eager onlookers, but house parties commence

instead lead the route through town. To Hopp, the parade embodies the spirit of Lake County. “I love the RoundUp and parade, it’s a great family affair,” said Hopp. “It’s a testament to the simple life we love, the cowboy life.”

Father Hopp Takes the Reins Father Ray Hopp, retired priest at St Patrick Catholic Church in Lakeview and 21-year resident of Lake County, is the 2015 Lake County Round-Up Grand Marshal. For the occasion he has acquired new boots. By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Firmly entrenched as a judge for the annual Labor Day Parade in Lakeview for the past two decades, Father Ray Hopp is taking on a new and unexpected role this year — as Round-Up Grand Marshal. A now retired priest who spent 12 years at St. Patrick Catholic Church while also traveling around Lake County to serve in Adel, Plush and Paisley, Hopp is a well-known figure across Lake County for his legendary sense of humor and caring demeanor. His selection as the 2015 Grand Marshal came as quite a surprise, an honor he is humbled to accept, albeit placing him in unfamiliar circumstances. “When they first called me in April I thought it was a joke,” laughed Hopp. “I’ve been here for 21 years, there are people who have been here their whole lives that are real cowboys and deserve it a whole lot more than me. I was proud as punch to say yes, and the parade is on my birthday, so what a great birthday present.” It was the priesthood that initially brought Hopp to Lake County. A native of Los Angeles, Calif., his first post was in Northridge, Calif., which introduced him to riding horses and the rural lifestyle, but with over 2,900 families in the parish he found it difficult to establish meaningful relationships with members. A request to come to Oregon to find a smaller parish was granted, leading him to work with churches in Pendleton, Fossil and Enterprise before arriving in Lakeview. Hopp has attended every Lake County Round-Up since his arrival. He rode a horse in his first Labor Day Parade, and has acted as a judge for the parade every year since alongside fellow judging partner Will Cahill. Now as Grand Marshal he must forego his

judge duties for one year, admitting that he isn’t quite sure what he is supposed to do, but has bought brand new boots just for the occasion. “The Round-Up has grown in so many ways because of those that are involved in it,” said Hopp. “I love the whole thing, I love the Round-Up. It’s a great family affair. The people involved do such a great job because they love what they do. I’m not sure if it grows because of that, but it all remains strong because of it.” Hopp’s role in this year’s Round-Up almost didn’t happen, as only a week after being notified he was selected as Grand Marshal he entered Lake District Hospital with a serious ailment that kept him there for six weeks. Now better, Hopp addressed the matter in his typical self-deprecating manner. “I guess I tried my best to get out of being Grand Marshal, but the doctors here are too good,” joked Hopp. “The board would have had some serious guilt this year otherwise. I think because I was in the hospital they’re taking it easy on me with preparations.” Hopp is an avid photographer who enters images in the fair every year, and dabbles in cowboy poetry. This year marks his 50th anniversary in the priesthood. Due to having two hip replacements he is unsure if he will be able to ride a horse in the parade or simply ride in a car, but regardless he is thrilled to represent the Lake County spirit. “The Round-Up embodies a spirit of pride and in living here,” said Hopp. “It’s a spirit of love for country, county and family.” The Labor Day Parade will take place on Monday, Sept. 7 in Lakeview beginning at 10 a.m.

Labor Day Dash Annual Fun Fair means food, and lots of it, but thanks to the Mile High Striders running club there will be a fun way to stay fit during Lake County’s annual festivities. Dubbed the Labor Day Dash, the club will host a 5,000-meter and 10,000-meter run and walk, along with a kids and youth quarter-mile and mile run on Saturday, Sept. 5 at Steninger Track in Lakeview. Registration begins at 7:15 a.m., with the kids races starting at 7:45 a.m. and the main races beginning at 8 a.m. The designated course follows a path from the Lakeview High School track through Lakeview’s backstreets, returning to the track in a 5K (3.1 mile) or 10K (6.2 mile) loop. Awards will be distributed afterwards for the best overall times among runners and walkers for the 5K and 10K distances by age categories, classified as 13-18, 19-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59 and over 60. The kids quarter-mile is intended for kids ages 2-8. Registration fees include optional t-shirts for the event, costing $20 with a shirt for the 5K/10K and one-mile events or $10 without a shirt. Cost of the kids quarter-mile is $10 with a shirt and $5 without. There is also a $70 family registration option that includes shirts. Registration forms are available at Howard’s Drugs, Holloway Photography, A Back Yard Floral and the Lake County Chamber of Commerce. The Labor Day Dash is just one of many events coordinated By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

KURT LIEDTKE/ Lake County Examiner

Runners kick off a Mile High Striders event at the fairgrounds earlier this year. Each month the running club hosts an event, including the Labor Day Dash, which takes place at Steninger Track on Saturday, Sept. 5 at 8 a.m.

by the Mile High Striders club, which organizes monthly outdoor group running activities as well as all-comers track meets. Events include the ShamWalkRun, which kicks off Irish Days events every March, and the Freedom Relay, a 45-mile relay race from Lakeview to Adel.

LHS Cheerleaders to kiss a pig By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner

Lakeview High School is fielding a cheerleading squad this fall for the first time in many years, and to raise funds for the season to come and introduce the squad to the community a special fundraiser is taking place in coordination with the annual Destruction Derby. Dubbed “Kiss the Pig,” all 17 cheerleaders on the LHS squad have had designated jars scattered around Lakeview at various businesses asking for donations. The cheerleader that manages to raise the most funds will, as the name suggests, win the right to kiss a pig, which will take place inside the Lake County Fairgrounds arena preceding the start of the Destruction Derby on Sunday, Sept. 6 around

KURT LIEDTKE/Lake County Examiner

Lakeview High School cheer team is holding a fundraising “Kiss the Pig” campaign, where the public gets to vote on which cheerleader has to kiss a pig during this year’s Destruction Derby. LHS cheer includes (standing) Bella Campuzano, l-r, Nichole McKeon, Kylee Tidwell, Natalia Villagrana, Jacqui Jaska, Jessica Henshaw, Victoria Alves, Kaya Franklin, (kneeling) Savannah Cogswell, Jonna Ferrario, Madison Havel, Michelle Diaz, Alyssa Brown, Kamaryn Schneider, Lexus Johnson. Not pictured: Mikaylie Windom and Desi Peterson. 6 p.m. “The community gets to vote through their donations in the jars of their choice,” said LHS Cheer Asst. Coach Niki Taylor. “Through previous fundraisers we were able to get our uniforms, but this will help cover

costs for equipment and expenses during the season.” LHS cheer will make their presence felt during football and basketball season, split into two squads for each season so that some fall sports participants can

then cheer during winter and vice versa. While teaching technique has been a start-from-the-groundup process with almost all participants being their first year in cheer, the team doesn’t lack any enthusiasm for the new opportunity to show school spirit. The idea for restarting the program began at the end of the 2014-15 school year, when LHS Cheer Head Coach Bailey Guido approached LHS Vice Principal Jesse Hamilton about forming a cheer club. They gauged interest among students, 22 girls responding in total, well beyond expectations for a program that had been dormant for so long. Guido’s inspiration for resurrecting the cheer program was instigated by her sister, Jonna Ferrario, who moved to Lakeview

last year from Klamath Falls after their mother passed away. Now living with Guido, Ferraro had opined about the lack of social opportunities in Lakeview, and wanting to provide a solution to her sister’s dilemma sparked the inspiration for Guido to found the team. As it turns out based on initial interest, there are many teens in Lakeview seeking a chance to both show school support and share in the camaraderie that comes with a cheer squad. Through car washes, bake sales, practices and promotion of the Kiss the Pig contest it has been a busy summer for these girls, but one that has only heightened anticipation for the big moment at fair and the coming season.

History in abundance at Fair By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner With more than 140 years of history behind Lake County since its first settlement, there is a wide breadth of artifacts to be appreciated by the public. Two establishments have done a considerable job in preserving the area’s decades worth of culture. These are the Historic Village and the RoundUp Museum, both available to pursue during the Lake County Fair and Round-Up. Located just outside the fairgrounds arena, the Round-Up Museum offers a great amount of history in a small and intimate way. Within its walls are remnants of Round-Ups past along with information detailing each RoundUp court, president and grand marshal over its 95 year record. Artifacts dating back decades are on display including outfits

that were worn by past Round-Up queens, items used, and other publications about the nearly 100 year tradition. On its inner perimeter, there are cattle brands that were used in the region, placed there during a party when the museum was first built in 1992. A couple of wagons are in storage throughout the year but see the light of day during Round-Up weekend for display and admiration that are also used at the Labor Day Parade. “The history is what entices people,” said John Flynn, treasurer of the Past Presidents’ Round-Up Museum, adding that in the near future the Round-Up Association is looking to expand the space another 20 feet to accommodate the expanding inventory. Funds are raised through selling Round-Up apparel and by donation. The museum is open by appointment and on RoundUp weekend. See their ad

Ed Henry, curator for the Historical Village, tells the history of a recent donation to the outdoor museum. on page 34. Another spot for history buffs is the Historic Village, located on the Lake County Fairgrounds, which garners much of its traffic during the Fair and Round-Up. The fenced-in facility is always open to tours with a simple call to its caretaker, Ed Henry. Its premises hold artifacts from days past that authentically capture the spirit of when the first

settlers came into the region. Wagons, farm equipment, building replicas and authentic structures are on site to observe and appreciate. Since last Fair and Round-Up, the site has seen a donation influx of 38 new pieces to add to the collection of countless pieces, 25 of them are branding irons. Founded and ran by the Lake County His-

torical Society in 2002, the most traffic that it sees is during the annual happenings. Few pieces come out of the county but all of them range in size and variety. These include items as large as wagons and hay bailers to cultivators, saws and a great range of tools. Henry said that throughout the year travelers come through town from all over the country and make the time to learn of the relics of the past, recently a couple took the tour who came from Vermont. “I’ve learned more than I want to,” laughed Henry of the many years dedicated to learning about and collecting the artifacts that fill the lot. The Historic Village will be open through Labor Day weekend on Friday, Sept. 4 at 3-5 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 5 and 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tours throughout the year can be scheduled by calling Henry at 541-947-5026.

Authentic eats by Heavenly Thai By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Climbing in popularity around Klamath Falls is Heavenly Thai food truck, operated by Lakeview local Timothy “Rocky” Clark. In its only four weeks of opening, word-of-mouth has taken hold to bring in food lovers from all over. “If you like Thai and Asian, it is as authentic as you can get,” said Clark. Though the truck’s history is short, its legacy is rich and long. Clark and his family moved from Thailand to Lakeview in 1993. His mother and head cook Saowanne is master of all Thai fla-

vors having cooked her authentic brand of Thai in her home nation and all over the states. After living in Lakeview for 18 years, they decided to make the move to Klamath Falls to start the venture together and since have wowed their customers with their cooking. Heavenly Thai’s fair menu isn’t the full one that they offer, but it is still wide in variety focused on fresh and flavorful ingredients. Among one of the most popular favorites is their Pad Thai, which uses real stock and genuine ketchup. Their Angel Wings is another dish that gar-

ions and carrots and are then deep-fried and wok fried in garlic chili sauce and garnished with fresh Thai basil. Drunken noodles

are also one of the favorites. It is the customer’s choice of protein with wide rice noodles, egg, broccoli, garlic, Thai basil, Thai chilis, and a secret sauces that is made in-house, then topped with a lime wedge. To quench fair-goers’ thirst, Thai tea is a sure draw, Clark describing them as flavorful and sweet with a 50-cent option of adding tapioca pearls, also known as boba pearls. Clark is excited to come back to his old stomping grounds to share what has been getting great reviews and feedback to his home crowd and other visitors.

Round-Up quilt a labor of love By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner This year marks the 11th time that the Lake County Round-Up Association has raffled a one-of-a-kind quilt during the Round-Up festivities, with the drawing scheduled to take place at 3 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 7. Approximately 100 hours of work went into the design and quilting of this year’s quilt, a beautiful queen-sized handmade tapestry befitting of the Lake County lifestyle, uniquely adorned with the colors and characters that define life here. “Just looking at it, it really represents Lake County well,” said Mattee Vickerman, 2015 Lake County Round-Up queen, who along with Princess Ruby Wilson and RoundUp Pres. James Price has been traveling all over Oregon to promote the upcoming Round-Up and sell quilt raffle tickets. “The response has been great, we actually ran out of tickets at Paisley’s Mosquito Festival.” The quilt was designed and pieced by Pam Bertagna and Lissa Webbon of Goose Tracks Quilting & Fabric Art in Lakeview before being shipped to Kim Stanford in Alturas, Calif. where

it was machine quilted utilizing a pantograph to stitch a design into the quilt itself. According to Webbon, sewing the top of the quilt took around 90 hours to complete, followed by the quilting process itself for another 10 hours. The finished product is a spectacle to behold, both in scale and detail, befitting of the highly coveted tradition of the annual Round-Up Quilt. Tickets are available for $5 each, or three for $10, available for purchase from Vickerman or Wilson as well as at Goose Tracks. The lucky winner does not have to be present at the drawing to win. Proceeds raised from raffle ticket sales benefit the Round-Up Court, helping cover expenses for travel and clothing in their exhaustive promotion of the upcoming Lake County Fair and Round-Up. With quilt in tow the girls have kept quite busy, traveling as far as the St. Paul Rodeo to promote Lake County’s premiere event, with additional stops in Klamath Falls and Cedarville, Calif. Previously horse tack was sold by RoundUp Courts, but according to Webbon, ever since she was first approached with the idea of making an annual quilt unique to

The process is beneficial for the girls participating in the Court as well, the whole experience from tryouts through the Round-Up itself teaching valuable life skills in presentation, performance, public speaking and interviewing. “I’ve learned how to

communicate better with people,” said Vickerman of the Round-Up Court experience. “Just the tryout was huge in preparing for it like a job interview, it’s been great to add to my arsenal knowing how to prepare and communicate.” Webbon agreed, stating that thanks to the efforts of Jody Graham and Lisa Shullanberger

working with the girls they gain a new selfconfidence and maturity that will serve them well in their careers. Goose Tracks Quilt ing & Fabric Art shop is located at 728 N. 2nd St. in Lakeview. For more information on the RoundUp Quilt or to purchase tickets call Lissa Webbon at 541-947-0229.

KC burgers hit the right spot By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Fair and Round-Up’s unrest often leaves participants in a scramble most of the day leaving very little time to grab a bite to eat, so when the evening comes around stomachs rumble with hunger. Thankfully St. Patrick Catholic Church’s Knights of Columbus man a grill inside a perfectly placed booth to serve up delectable burgers that have been renowned around fair time. Beginning in 1960 with an idea, a couple of boards nailed together and a hot plate, the tradition has been a staple on Labor Day weekend to feed the famished masses. What draws fair-goers to the stand located in the middle of Lakeview is the well-seasoned patties and the sautéed onion rings, all adding up to a worthy

bite that makes mouths water. The volunteers also incorporate a secret sauce that brings out the appetizing flavors. “People have been raving about it for years,” said Jim Huffstutter, member of the Knights of Columbus. All the proceeds go back into St. Patrick Church’s various programs to help the organization run. The hamburger stand will be open at 11:30 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 4 and will be serving burgers until closing time, which is generally around 3 a.m. each day of fair. Final closing will be on Monday, Sept. 7 in the afternoon when the public clears after the Labor Day parade. Customers can get their hands on one of these delicious burgers by coming down to the south end of U.S. Bank at 518 N. 1st St. Single burgers run for $5 while doubles are for $7. There will also be Pepsi products and water sold.

Rogers plans for Fair all year long By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner

Since Lee Anne Rogers’ hiring as fairgrounds manager last November, she has been full-force to improve the grounds and bring in the best vendors and entertainment possible for the 2015 Lake County Fair. Rogers explains that much of her job is being on the phone with food and merchandise vendors to ensure that what they need is available. Working with each vendor so that they have a pleasant experience during their stay is crucial so that they are more likely to return in future years. Rogers said that vendor hiring and stationing works based on seniority. It is also very important to not have duplicates to give fair-goers the best selection of food and treats possible. “We want everyone to feel at home,� she said. Rogers added that she has been told that Lake County’s fair is among the cleanest that the public has attended. “We want to keep it that way,� Rogers said. A major part of getting ready for the

large event is coordinating outside cleaning and grooming. Much help with this aspect came in part from local 4-H groups and Fairgrounds maintenance technician James Merrill. Merrill handles the hard manual labor around the grounds and is key to the maintenance of the area. “We had a huge head start this year,� said Rogers. “We have been working on the outside since December. It’s nice to have it clean and ready to go.� With a year under her belt, she is confident about the schedule and flow of events and what is expected to happen. Even with preparations set in place, Rogers will be on hand to put out the metaphorical fires that may occur. Last year, there was a blackout for about 20 minutes when no one had power, which is only one of the many problems that can crop up during the weekend’s happenings. Even with nine months of preparations, Rogers is looking to make further improvements down the road for a more delightful experience each year.

Randy’s looks to sell savory jerky By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Randy Watterson of Ukiah, Calif., founder of Randy’s Gourmet Jerky, has earned a reputation of making the most delicious dried and seasoned meats around the region, but it wasn’t all perfect from the start. On his way home after work every night in Salem 17 years ago, Watterson stopped at a local gas station to pick up a couple of sticks of jerky. He told himself that he could make jerky that could be better than what he was routinely buying. After his first round of jerky, he gave it to his family to try but to lukewarm responses. Since then, Watterson has perfected his jerky recipe and even branched out to other

SUBMITTED PHOTO

of the meat. “There’s nothing like the taste of a fresh habanero,� Watterson said. One of his most

popular flavors is his Smokey Pepper Jerky. What makes this one so special is that Watterson grinds green, white, red and black peppercorns and covers the beef with it before going into the drier, giving it a rich peppery taste. He marinades his beef in the freshest ingredients up to 18 hours to instill the best taste possible. He explained that there are no preservatives used unlike store brands, which means there is a shorter shelf life but also a better taste. Also unlike storebought jerky, Randy’s is chewy and moist, not tough, because of the amount of time that the meat marinades. Within each bag sold there is one individually wrapped toothpick “because you’re going to

need it,� said Watterson. At his booth, fair-goers can pick up free samples of the jerky before purchasing their favorites. Watterson will walk the lengthy Destruction Derby waiting line selling jerky to give observers something to snack on while witnessing the damage. Before taking the jerky venture to fairs, festivals and other regional events, Watterson worked at a car dealership as a service manager. He reassured that his business motto, “The difference is in the taste,� will be apparent to whoever comes to try out his gourmet jerky.

3LJV DQG SRQLHV D JR WKDQNV WR FRPPXQLW\ By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner An event that got children of all ages to run toward and catch a freshly greased pig, with hopes of bringing it home as a prize, were nearly dashed as a lack of volunteers and of piglet donations hindered plans for this year’s Lake County Fair. Luckily, thanks to one local, LuAnne Anderson, who volunteered her time to coordinate the contest which requires community sponsors, according to Fairgrounds Mgr. Lee Anne Rogers. In years past, other coordinators brought the event together by acquiring sponsorships, but this year the prospect hung in midair as the Fairgrounds didn’t have the budget to pay for them and didn’t have enough manpower to get into the community for sponsors and piglets. Anderson decided to step in to collect the piglets and get sponsors together. She explained that she has been a part of the event for 30 years along with the kid’s day and realized that it was an event worth putting in the effort. “I didn’t want any kids disappointed,� said Anderson, adding that some of the kids come to fair just to participate in catching the slippery animal. She recounted that a couple years ago, one of the mother’s of the children who took part was one of the lucky ones who caught the pig when she was in her youth. Another attraction that was nearly absent from Fair festivities was pony rides for young children. Rogers said the vendor that usually provided the ponies raised their prices this year, maiking the event impossible to fit the attraction into this year’s budget. She received a call from Klamath County Fairgrounds and Marcie Wade of KORV 93.5 to secure sponsors for the ponies. Wade

said that she got involved after coming across a Facebook post that drew attention to the need for sponsors. Wade then hit the streets to get donations from individual businesses, collecting enough funds for the vendor’s compensation. Businesses that donated were KORV 93.5 The Goose, Mile Hi Tire, Base Camp RV, Cornerstone Industrial Mills, T-Net Broadband Internet, Howard’s Drugs and Back Yard Floral. Wade gives all the credit to the businesses that helped out this year. “It’s a great thing to live in small community for the support,� Wade said.

LCYMP dreamcatchers to be shown, raffle tickets sold By Jimmy Hall Lake County Examiner Young and older fingers belonging to mentors and mentees of Lake County Youth Mentor Program (LCYMP) were put to the test to make Native American dreamcatchers one evening at the Education Service District building. The dozen or so dreamcatchers created were done in steps, first of wrapping circular rings with material, stringing the inside with thread and beads, then decorating the bottom with hanging feathers. Though some were more elaborate in design than others, all seemed to have a good time with the challenge as mentors assisted their mentees in construction. The dreamcatchers will be entered into the open class at the Lake County Fair this year with hopes of gaining blue ribbons to the most eye-catching and interesting designs for even the most modest of cash prizes. Throughout the year, LCYMP holds these types of activities every quarter to challenge the young minds in a socially rich atmosphere. Mentors are tasked with taking an outing with their young mentees once every week to teach and guide them with their experience. During the fair, mentors and their mentees will sell raffle tickets for a few worthy prizes, the proceeds of which will go back into the LCYMP. An ice cream party will held for the raffle drawing in October when any available tickets remaining will be sold. Raffle prizes will include a Savage Axis 243 hunting rifle, a bucket of 1,400 rounds of .22 long rifle ammunition from Sportsman’s Warehouse, a brick of the same ammo donated by KBE, and a rifle that was donated by Joe and Marci Wade. Representatives of LCYMP will sell tickets on Friday and Sat-

Home ec exhibits create tasty competition By Kurt Liedtke Lake County Examiner Home economics exhibits at this year’s Lake County Fair will see a boost in treats for the eyes and palette alike, as new categories have been added for submissions by first-year Home Economics Department Chairperson Pat Springer. Hoping to reinvigorate the competitive baking contests, new avenues are being presented for Lake County’s culinary experts to showcase their skills. From sugar-free and gluten-free options to expansion of division categories, there are now more ways than ever before for cooks to clean up when it comes to earning prestigious blue ribbons. New possible submission categories include sugarless jellies, pie filling, a generic “other� category for pies, gluten-free bread, sugar free cookies and several tiers of cupcakes allowing cooks to get creative ranging from classic to filled, themed and multi-cupcake creations. Entrants are split into two divisions, adult and junior baked goods, with young cooks 14 and under qualifying for the junior class. Judging commences on Thursday, Sept. 3 at noon. According to Springer, home eco-

Canning is just one aspect of many Home Economics Divisions that participants can enter during Fair. nomics fair contests take on a dual aspect to judging as unlike other departments that are based largely on aesthetic appeal, there is the quality of taste that is just as important. Vying for the best tasting and best looking creations is serious business, with blue ribbons up for grabs for Best in Show, Chairman’s Choice as well as a “King or Queen of the Kitchen� award for the person who has the most submissions. In addition, there is a canning competition sponsored by Ball & Kerr promoting the art of home canning, where the judge selects the two best entries in fruit, vegetable,

pickle and soft spread canning categories. More than just new categories and contests, other changes being brought to the fair this year includes a reduction in scale to reduce wasted food, allowing submissions to be half a pint instead of a full pint. Judges, who are brought in from out of town to assure impartiality, can select and open any canning jar they want, with all submissions kept anonymous being only assigned numbers so as to avoid any preferential treatment. The chairman role is new for Springer, who has been entering annual fair home ec contests for over two decades and was named “Queen of the Kitchen� for the 2014 Fair, but because of the number designation for each division she can still enter as a competitor as well. “People put their heart and soul into a cake,� said Springer. “I like the competition, seeing who can make the best sugar cookies and whatnot. Cooking is a real passion for people, something in which I hope more kids get involved. Entries can be as simple as a peanut butter cookie or a cupcake that could result in a ribbon to brag about forever.� Following judging, Home Economics division submissions will remain on display at the Lake County Fairgrounds exhibit halls through Monday, Sept. 7.

Royal Court takes North Lake twist

It has been many years since the Lake County RoundUp Court was lacking a single member from Lakeview, a welcome twist to many to have the northern communities of Lake County properly represented for this year’s festivities. During tryouts two girls exemplified the riding abilities and spirit necessary to represent Lake County above and beyond, judges selecting Ruby Wilson of Silver Lake as princess and Mattee Vickerman of Paisley as queen. The pair have brought increased attention to the far too often forgotten northern end of the county, their presence likely to bring an increased draw of North Lake residents making the trek to Lakeview for the 2015 Lake County Fair and Round-Up. “Having an all North Lake court definitely adds to the appeal, there’s a lot of people in Silver Lake that have said how great it is because it’s been so long since a girl from there was on the court,” said Wilson. “It’s a big deal to them, they want to be remembered and recognized too. I’m hoping as a whole it will pull the county back together, because it is very split. A lot of people that haven’t been to the rodeo in many years say they want to come down and be a part of it and see us because we are representing them, they’re not being forgotten.” Both Vickerman and Wilson have By Kurt LIedtke Lake County Examiner

ranching in their blood, having grown up around horses and no strangers to daily life on the ranch, leading to a certain authenticity to Lake County’s royal court. That has come with it it’s own share of troubles in preparation, both stating that heir ranch horses have had difficulty adjusting to the extra primping associated with proper presentation of the court. “A lot of former Lake County RoundUp Queens have moved north and they are drawn to us,” said Vickerman. “They’ve wanted to be a part of this, they’ve helped me a lot. It’s so important to us maintain the tradition and lifestyle of Lake County. That’s what this is all about, educating people and promoting our way of life.” It’s been a busy summer for the pair and this year’s Lake County Round-Up President, James Price, traveling across the west to promote the upcoming Round-Up, which takes place Labor Day weekend Sept. 3-7. Upcoming stops include trips to Klamath Falls and Cedarville before a flurry of activities the week of the Round-Up. “The Round-Up Court being all North Lake is important, I think it’s a great deal,” said Price. “We had a lot of girls try out this year, and we bring in judges from out of town so there’s no bias, it was just a great stroke of luck to get two North Lake girls to stand out. I think it will bring more people. Even though in Lake County we’re separated by a lot of miles, it’s still their county fair, and I

think this will help solidify that.” The trio has traveled as far north as the St. Paul rodeo to promote the upcoming event, educating people about all that Lake County has to offer and encouraging them to come attend the Round-Up. While inevitably many Oregonians have never set foot in Lake County nor could find it on a map, there have been a few unexpected pleasant surprises of former residents eager to see this year’s court. “At the St. Paul rodeo we had a woman come up to us who grew up in Lakeview and was so thrilled to see our court there,” said Price. “They’re not used to seeing our court at those big events, so we’ve been getting a lot of questions.” One reason for the extended travel is the affiliation with the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), 2015 being the second year that the Round-Up attains PRCA status, bringing with it a whole new level of rodeo action. The increase in toplevel talent draws added interest to rodeo fans willing to travel to see the best of the best compete. Come this weekend leading the grand entry and parade preceding the PRCA action will be the Round-Up Court, representing all of Lake County properly, but this time around with a noticeable northern end charm.
