THE

Competitorial Wimpification I’m just going to say it… we are becoming a nation of wimps, and it’s getting worse every day.

Everywhere you look and everything you read or hear on the news is evidence that we are getting so soft it’s ridiculous. It’s no wonder the US of A has lost respect worldwide. If I were on the outside looking in, I would wonder how such a soft people ever erected such a strong country. It seems we have become a bunch of squeamish, apologists, who have somehow become convinced that winning or being dominant in any way is not a virtue. It starts with every one of us, individually, and has trickled up to be reflected as who we are as a nation.

That said, I’m going to make another admission, and I encourage the rest of you to follow suit. I’m not at all ashamed to win, to dominate, or to otherwise kick some ass whenever some ass-kickin’ is required.

Furthermore, I’m not going to buy into, or even act like I have something to be ashamed of, as a result of human beings being at the top of the food chain. We ARE at the top of the food chain, and I have to say, I’m glad for it. Let’s see, would I rather be the one roping the steer or being roped…yep… I’m glad I’m at the top.

And while we’re on the subject, let’s all quit our b****in’ every time we perceive someone might have hurt our delicate feelings. Get over it! Either figure out a way to toughen up, or at the very least learn to pretend it doesn’t bother you. Yeah….and for all those would-be psychologists…that does mean just shut up and swallow it. You don’t need to expose every weakness you have inside you by whining to everyone who will listen. The truth is, they don’t care, they’re only pretending to care because someone told them Cover: Colby Lovell and Bode Baize at the Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic

they’re suppose to… it’s sickening.

And bullying… are you kidding me? The latest social outcry for excusing people from working through real problems. Yeah, I said it, it’s a cop-out.

Look, when I started school, my sister and I were the only two white kids on the school bus that originated from Chilili, New Mexico. How do you think that went? There were ninth-graders with mustaches, probably because they flunked the third grade three times, who beat my ass whenever they got the urge, and it was a pretty frequent urge.

So what!

Did I like it? No! Was there anything I could do to stop it? No! Did it make going to or coming from school fun? No! Did it kill me, or otherwise permanently scar me? Hell no! In fact, I learned a lot from the whole experience. When to be invisible, when not to be, when to be silent, when to pop off with a measure of sarcasm, and maybe most importantly, when to run… and HOW to run. All lessons I employ every day of my adult life. You simply figure out how to adapt, and that’s a pretty valuable lesson. But let’s not let anyone learn those lessons anymore. Let’s just pretend we shelter every person from every challenge in life, providing them with an excuse for everything that ever goes wrong and voila…you know what you get? A society full of wimpified blamers.

OK, so there’s my rant. The question is what to do about it… or… should we even try to do anything about it?

Well, you’d better answer that one carefully, because the more wimpified we become, the less freedoms we have. I can see a day, when the sport of rodeo, team roping, etc. is shut down because people are so squeamish or so apologetic at being the dominant species on the planet, that they attack our sport en masse and shut it down. The irony of it all is that it will be the bullying by the wimps that gets it done.

Think about it…

Kaleb Driggers Wins Big at the Mike Cervi Memorial Pro Classic

by Kristen Spinning

I

n a packed grandstand, over 2,000 fans collectively held their breath for an eternal 8.36 seconds during the last run of the Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic. That eight seconds would be worth close to $23,000, and all eyes were on the young man in the headerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s box.

On February 22, 2012 at the Casa Grande Rodeo Grounds in Arizona the Cervi Roping couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have asked for a better day. The sun shown bright, the ground was excellent, an enthusiastic crowd gathered and 140 teams were ready to run down their slice of an over $80,000 pie. The day got underway with the First Annual Cervi Pro-Am. A superstar line-up of pro ropers partnered up with ten amateur headers and ten amateur heelers to put on a pretty

impressive show. After three full rounds, the team of Mark Etter and Dakota Kirchenschlager turned in the fastest time for the Amateur Heading. Amateur heeler Lorne Miller and his partner Chad Masters had a 37.19 on three steers to win the average in the Pro-Am Heeling. Proceeds from the event were added to the Cervi Roping pot and to the Justin Crisis Fund.

The action quickly moved on to the headline event. In the first of four progressive rounds, the hard running Mexican steers kept guys scrambling to run them down. Clean runs were mostly in the seven and eight second range with a handful of six second runs.

Collectively, teams had an 80% catch rate over the first go. Broken barriers, gut wrentching misses, and slipped legs continued to whittle down the top contenders through the second go. After two go rounds, it was pretty clear that a two head average of 14 seconds or better would set up a team for a shot at the money, and anything more would send them home empty handed.

Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic Average Champions, Kaleb Driggers and Jhett Johnson

In the third and fourth rounds, those strong steers eased up just a bit, and with the pressure mounting, times started drilling down. Announcers Sanna Boan and Reed Flake kept things moving right along from the booth, and Bob Fiest kept the crowd updated on the scores and stats for each round.

Not quite 12 seconds separated the final 20 teams top to bottom going into the short round. The ropers knew they had to go for broke to move up in the standings. With big money on the line, the first three teams out of the box, where quickly out of the competition.

Then next few teams fired strong, and positions shifted with every throw.

Turtle Powel and Russell Cardoza Jr. turned in a 5.98, their best time of the day and fastest for the round. It was enough to bump them up into the money. It was down to the last three teams when 22 year old Kaleb Driggers, and his partner Jade Corkill, considered by his peers to be the best heeler in the world, grabbed the first spot with a 6.22 second run. Next to go was Riley Minor and Monty Joe Petska, a former Cervi Champion. They needed a 6.66 to take the lead, but when the flag dropped, the clock showed a 6.67, tying it up.

Kaleb, who was riding arguably the best head horse in the field, returned to the box with his partner, reigning World Champion heeler Jhett Johnson.

Kaleb Driggers and Jade Corkill earned the runner up position at the 2012 Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic

Showing consistency and unbelievable horsemanship, the pair hadn’t been longer than six seconds all day. They were holding an impressive time of 24.74 seconds on four head. They could win it with a leisurely ten seconds, but a miss-fire could knock them out completely. The chute opened, and the crowd tensed as the young header held his mount at the back of the box for what seemed like forever. The steer got a half a length of daylight past the gate, and Kaleb launched out of the box. The steer faded slightly to the left. Kaleb ran him down at the 3/4 pole, setting him up beautifully for Jhett to slip up behind and lay out a perfect loop to snatch him clean on the first hop. They closed the deal with run of 8.36 seconds. The pair won $11,484 a man, Running P saddles, and Gist buckles. Additionally, when they are ready for a well-deserved break, they will be treated to a white tail deer hunt courtesy of Driftwood Performance Horses. Jhett commented, “I’ve roped in the Cervi a number of times, but can’t say as I ever placed.

This is a real thrill.” Kaleb showed real coolness under fire at his first Cervi roping, “We had already done the hard part all day by making some good runs early on. I could give the steer more than I needed to, and my horse would run him down. I knew my partner would heel him fast, so I decided I could back off and just do my job.”

ALL-AROUND

Riley Minor and Monty Joe Petska finished third in the Average at the Mike Cervi Jr. Memorial Pro Classic

Kaleb also split the second and thrid spots with partner Jade Corkill , for a combined payday of close to $20,000.

Kaleb, who hails from Albany, GA, took PRCA Rookie of the Year honors in 2009. Now with a Cervi win notched in his belt, he is off to a great start in 2012.

Thanks to its dedicated sponsors, the roping paid a whopping 118% of entry fees over six places and two short-go fast times. It also wrote a check for over $13,000 to the Justin Crisis Fund, brigning the total that the roping has raised for the charity to over $140,000.

Besides the money, the ropers really appreciate how well the event is organized. Monty Joe Petska, who split second and third in the average, to take home $8,500 commented, “It’s been a great day. George Aros and his crew do an excellent job of putting it on, the money’s great, it’s an awesome roping.”

In addition to cash, teams won a terrific assortment of prizes including Justin Full Quill Ostrich Boots, Gordy Alderson bits, Resistol hats from Hatco, Mojo Horns, Renew Gold grain, Bio Vigor supplements breast collars from Ricotti Saddle Co, and gift certificates from Arizona Feed. The event also ushered in a new level of hospitality in roping competition. A VIP tent, sponsored by the Hal Earnhardt and the Earnhardt Automotive group out of Phoenix, was set up across from the office where ropers and their families

were treated to free burritos, chips and salsa and cold beverages throughout the day.

The 30th Annual Cervi Roping was the centerpiece to the Casa Grande Cowboy & Indian Days for the second year. The West Pinal County Sheriff’s Posse originally organized this 9 day extravaganza of Roping, Barrel Racing and Rodeo events when working with Cervi producer George Aros to move the famed roping to Casa Grande in 2011.

“The first Cowboy Days was a huge success, so this year we added even more to it, including a parade, an AllIndian Rodeo and even a golf tournament,” commented Posse member Dick Powell. The Cervi and Cowboy Days enjoy the enthusiastic support of the City of Casa Grande. City officials, including City Manager Larry Rains were in the grandstands. In welcoming all the participants to Cowboy Days, Mayor Bob Jackson said, “It’s truly a time when Casa Grande gets back to its western heritage. This event draws not only Casa Grande residents, but many from outlying communities, as well as visitors from all over.”

With the success of this year’s events and the amount of money up for grabs, it is no doubt that Cowboy Days will continue to grow. Even more ropers, from the top ranked cowboys to the fun loving amateurs will descend on Casa Grande once again next February.

Extending The Legend

Paul Tierney at the 2012 Timed Event Championships

L

egends are what we make of our heroes. Legends are often irreplaceable. Few Legends have a chance to witness the similar rise to fame of their successors, let alone have a hand in the making of their keepsakes. And it’s very rare that the great Legends get to raise, and craft their own replacements, and then introduce them to the arena of their fame.

The rodeo world got to witness just that, the first weekend in March, at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, OK. South Dakota’s Paul Tierney, a rancher from Oral, and one of the great legends of the modern rodeo world, brought his two sons to town, for all three to compete in the World Timed Event Championships (TEC) also known as The Ironman Competition of rodeo. The result was electrifying, with sons Jesse, 29, Hermosa, S.D., and Paul David, 22, Oral, winning the hearts of those who came to witness the 28th heralding of the annual Ironman World Champion.

Paul Tierney, a past four-time World Ironman Champion, two-time PRCA World Champion, and ProRodeo Hall of Famer, had originally turned down his annual invitation to this year’s event. That decision would have marked the very first Ironman Championship to not feature this legendary roper. While two other men had won this title the same number of times, no one else had won it over three decades, and no one else had attended every single

TEC contest successively, like Tierney. accomplished cowboys.

Jesse, Paul’s oldest son had been The Ironman is a long weekend of invited to compete against his dad four speed, accuracy, stamina, skill, and luck years ago, creating a grand memory for of the draw, with just a little more luck the elder champion. 2012 quickly shaped thrown in. It was a tough weekend for all. up differently for the Tierney family when Every cowboy had to head five steers in suddenly Jesse and Paul David became team roping, rope and tie-down five invitees as well, shortly after Paul declined head, heel five head in team roping, his invitation. It had been Paul’s one wish wrestle five steers to the turf, and single in considering his future in this elite rope five steers. competition. But he’d opted out, and his Winning the coveted title this year was sons were invited in.

K.C. Jones of Decatur, TX. The five-time The dilemma haunted Tierney, who had National Finals Rodeo qualifier and resigned himself to helping his offspring Colorado native has won this Ironman this year. Barely ten days before the Competition four times in the past, competition was to begin, the number two bringing his tally to five titles. seated TEC competitor, past multiple title The Tierney luck could have been holder, and reigning World All-Around better, and it could have been worse. At Cowboy for a number of years, Trevor the end of 25 runs, the cowboy with the Brazile, came up injured and bowed out of lowest aggregate score walked away the TEC, so the invitation went to the with a new trophy saddle and buckle, and legendary Paul Tierney – he would get to $50,000 in cash. And the cash paid on wear the number two back number, while down to the eighth quickest time put sons Jesse and Paul David would wear together, with Jesse claiming his piece numbers 17 and 20, respectively, Paul of the pie at fifth place and young gun David, the youngest contestant, and the Paul David claiming his own check at last in the select group to compete in five seventh place. events, five times, over three days.

To say that they did good would be In The Ironman competition, each modest, considering the awesome talent in contestant competes a total of 25 times the arena, which included many world over the three days, in a physically and mentally grueling competition that often means a different horse for each event, and sometimes requires bringing back-up horses for those five.

Cowboys sometimes get hurt, and horses sometimes strain a muscle or two. After the first day of competition the field had paired down to 19 because of a cowboy injury.

But the Tierney clan had come to town to show that Paul’s multiple world titles weren’t just a fluke. And if he ever did decided to hang up his competitive spurs, there would be a pair or two ready to carry on the family name. After all, the Tierney men anchored both ends of the field of competition: Paul at one end, just weeks shy of his 60th birthday, and Paul David, at 22, the Jesse ready to make a run youngest in the field of

champions and record holders, but that’s the way dad Paul put it when a microphone found its way in front of him as he was leaving the arena at the end of

the contest. Asked the inevitable about his pride in his sons, he admitted to his pride, but never elaborated. And it was obvious that the model the sons had been following was a successful one.

The younger Tierneys had delivered more than had been expected of them, by anyone other than themselves. And they delivered it with a style and grace that came from a known place in their hearts, and a grateful grandstand quickly rewarded them with their encouragement.

And like many competitors, the Tierney boys came “oh-so-close” to capturing even higher positions, especially as the contest continued, leaders fell out of claim, injuries and stamina weakened, and the “if-only” catches eluded them as well, pushing them further back from what could have been.

And The Legend: he doesn’t know what place he finished. He knew he’d done well; finished in the middle of the pack somewhere, besting cowboys whose

combined ages didn’t add up to his. But it appeared as if he’d also ‘done well’ in leaving his sport a solid legacy.

But what was, became a weekend of memories for all who witnessed, and a family of champions and athletes who would continue to impress the many fans of America’s true sport of rodeo. As the three Tierneys had gathered in Guthrie, Okla., for this long weekend of competition and support of each other, from three different directions, they parted in three separate directions as well, but having left a statement in the rodeo world, again, Tierney style.

This legendary South Dakota Cowboy is considered as the second most decorated and recognized cowboy following Fort Pierre’s infamous Casey Tibbs. Semi-retired form competitive rodeo, Tierney ranches full time, teaches rodeo clinics around the country, and sells personally raised and trained registered Quarter Horses in his annual fall sale, Midwest Versatility Horse Sale, in late September every year in Rapid City, S.D.

Jones Ropes His Fifth Timed Event Title

K.C. Jones wins his fifth, “Iron Man” Timed Event Championship

N

o multi-champion of the Timed Event Championship of the World had gone more than six years between titles. That is until Sunday rolled around at the 2012 Timed Event Championship of the World!

K.C. Jones, 44, who claimed his fourth TEC title in 2001, won the 2012 Timed Event with 360.6 seconds on 25 head at the Lazy E Arena. Jones is only the second cowboy in the 28-year history of the Timed Event to win five or more titles. Trevor Brazile, out this year with an injury, has won six times.

“Just thank God,” said Jones of Burlington, Wyo., who also has been a runner-up five times. “I’ve been fortunate and had a lot of people help me and worked hard at it and worked hard with my horses. It’s just great.”

After finishing second in 2010, Jones went penniless at the event a year ago in Guthrie. This time around though, he not only won the average for $50,000 but had the fourth and fifth fastest rounds to total $57,000 in three days. That runs his career TEC earnings to $445,500.

“The finances are great and that’s why we do it,” he said. “The money’s great, but I don’t know if we’d work quite this hard for the money, but we do this because we love it.”

At the Timed Event, each contestant has to compete in the team roping–heading,

fastest round of the weekend with a 54.0 in the fourth-go to total $20,000.

“Everybody that was entered here knows it was the ‘Ironman’ here this year,” Jones said.

The contestants were 20 of the most established, versatile cowboys in the game, and they earned the right to be part of the by-invitation-only crowd to compete at the Lazy E, which developed the Timed Event Championship in 1985 to determine the best all-around timed-event cowboy in the world – the man who could stand out in more than his specialty event, the man who could be consistent in all five timed events.

Most of today’s ProRodeo cowboys focus on a single discipline, maybe two, but the Timed Event Championship allows each contestant the opportunity to spread his wings and fly in a different direction.

It’s an outstanding test of all the skills that have made the sport of rodeo what it is today. It’s a challenge, and those who have walked away with the coveted Gist Gold Buckle and $50,000 carry the admiration of thousands of other great athletes who make up ProRodeo. They also carry the bragging rights to one of rodeo’s greatest accomplishments. The winner of each Timed Event Championship of the World is in a special class of competitor. It’s a small fraternity, and only the best are included.

The 2012 Timed Event Championship was sponsored by Priefert Ranch & Rodeo Equipment, Pendleton Whisky, Wrangler, American Farmers and Ranchers Insurance, Cross Bar Gallery, Ram Trucks, John Vance Motors, Energy Force, R.K. Black Inc., Gist Silversmiths, Spin to Win

tie-down roping, team roping–heeling, steer wrestling and steer roping. The latest version of the “Ironman Event of Pro Rodeo” certainly was not without suspense.

Jones was 57.2 seconds ahead of the field after 14 runs. But after 24 head, his lead was 21.8 seconds over Russell Cardoza of Terrebonne, Ore., who was second in the average and Jones was 38.7 seconds ahead of Josh Peek of Pueblo, Colo., who was third. In the steer roping, Peek used two loops to go 28.0 for 400.0 seconds, while Cardoza was solid with a 20.9 for 376.0.

So Jones rode into the box needing to be 42.6 seconds or faster to win the Championship.

Jones said the late Clem McSpadden, “Voice of the Lazy E Arena,” often teased him about needing a good steer roping horse of his own. The cowboy trained one in recent years and was riding the horse he calls “Clem” to a steer roping run of 27.3 seconds Sunday to clinch the title.

In addition to his runner-up finish, Cardoza placed third and sixth in the fast rounds for earnings of $32,000. He is fourth in the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA) heeling world standings with $20,495. The 25-year-old was never lower than ninth in the average at the TEC. Cardoza led after the sixth and seventh runs and then suffered a 60-second penalty (the equivalent of a no-time) in the tie-down roping of the second round.

However, he worked his way back into contention.

Peek, 32, the 2010 Timed Event champion, finished third in the average for $15,000. The two-time PRCA reserve all-around World Champion, was never lower than fifth in the average after the first round, and he was second or third in the average after the last dozen runs.

Daniel Green, 39, of Oakdale, Calif., the 2002 and 2008 TEC champion, was fourth in the average with Jones Calf Roping 426.6 on 25 and posted the

Paul W. Arviso Sr. He Paved the Way

Story and Photos Compliments of Jim Olson

T

he Arviso clan from the Crownpiont, New Mexico area has a long and interesting history. For example, Jesus Arviso, whose family came from Spain and then settled in Sonora, Mexico, was once traded for a horse.

In the mid-1800s, young Jesus’s family was raided by a band of Apaches; he was taken. Years later the Apache who had Jesus traded him to a Navajo man for a beautiful black stallion. Jesus finished growing up as a Navajo and eventually married into the tribe.

As a result of his unique experiences, he now spoke fluent Spanish, Apache and Navajo.

Those talents came in handy, as he became a key translator, and important figure, in treaty negotiations between the U.S. Government and the Indians during the 1860s. Two generations later, his grandson, Paul W. Arviso Sr. was instrumental in popularizing the sport of rodeo on the Navajo reservation.

Paul was born many miles west of Crownpoint during 1920 into a family of stockmen. His grandfather Jesus had done well serving as an interpreter and was rewarded with much livestock. Paul’s dad was a great stockman and also had been a horseracing jockey. Out with the herd from his earliest memories, this was where young Paul learned about stock. Riding burros and mules while chasing cattle, goats and several thousand head of sheep, made him a superb stockman. Living out on the range as they did, he also grew up tough. He and his brothers even used to ride “Billy” goats and rams around the corrals just for fun.

Those corrals were the earliest “arenas” for what was to later become “a legend” of

only the best for the association and selflessly put any thoughts of personal gain aside. Paul’s nephew Roy Spencer honorably served as President.

During those early years, men such as Paul and his long-time friend, Sonny Jim, (another well-known name in Native American Rodeo) were the ones who showed the world that an Indian could also be a cowboy…and a good one at that. These were the group of men who paved the way for today’s Native American Rodeo Cowboys to become what they have.

In a magazine interview for the 4th of July & PRCA Rodeo Celebration at Window Rock, Arizona, Paul once said, “I’m always praying for them to get somebody up there in Las Vegas some of these days.” It was always his dream for the younger generation to compete successfully in the Pro-Rodeo circuit and represent the Indian Nations.

Paul did not realize it at the time, but along the way, he became a hero to a whole new generation of guys. Many time Indian National Finals Rodeo qualifier and champion, Lucius Sells, once told the Navajo Times, “I’d like to mention my (grandfather) from Crownpoint, Paul Arviso Sr. Being around him when he was roping…it’s a talent I got. It’s just a gift from God that he gave to me. I guess they would say it’s in the blood.”

USTRC News TRIAD Classification Update For the last few months USTRC and WSTR have worked intermittently to get to an agreed classifications starting point for the 2012 season. This has been a long arduous process but we just about have all the wrinkles ironed out!

Initially there were several thousand classification discrepancies that the USTRC and WSTR committees perused through and vetted out in order to create some congruency in classifications.

There were several hundred ropers where the primary team roping end came into question. Some of these ropers had a higher classification with WSTR and a lower number with USTRC and vice versa. Each of these files, as well as others, was addressed individually between the two organizations until both sides could reach a final decision. If your TRIAD classification number changed with the USTRC then you have been notified by either telephone or through mail VSA regarding the adjustment.

Remember that TRIAD classifications are being used at both USTRC and WSTR events and it is strongly advised that the roper contact either USTRC or WSTR to verify their TRIAD classification for 2012 before

attending an event. This action avoids any negative experiences that could arise if you show up to a roping and are informed that your number has been changed. If you had a double number with WSTR, please contact either USTRC or WSTR to see if any changes have been made. With you’re your help we will be better able to get you started off right! Moving forward in the 2012 season, the process flow for classification adjustments will gradually become smoother and more fluid.

As with any agreement there are some major points that need to be addressed and there have been questions arise as to whom needs to be contacted regarding classification issues.

In relation to classifications and memberships, here are a few of your questions answered.

Can I rope at a WSTR event with a USTRC membership?

IN HOUSE PROOF

CRX’D

Yes, World Series events, including the Las Vegas Finale, will honor USTRC memberships, which means ropers who compete in both associations will only have to purchase one membership. Note: WSTR memberships will still be available to ropers who

Can I rope at a USTRC event with a WSTR membership?

No, USTRC events will only accept USTRC memberships.

Do my WSTR earnings count toward the USTRC Regional and National Finals?

• If you are a USTRC member who wins or places at a WSTR event, you will be granted flex earnings up to $3,000 per placing to use at the USTC Regional and/or National Finals of Team Roping.

• If you are a WSTR member who wins or places at a WSTR event and then decide to purchase a USTRC membership card later in the season, your flex earnings will be retroactive.

Note: Flex earnings DO NOT roll over to the next season. They expire after the Cinch NFTR in October.

Who do I need to contact concerning appealing my classification or applying for a double number?

• If you are solely a WSTR member, the appeals process will need to be initiated through the WSTR liaison at (575) 359-2441.

• If you are a member of both USTRC and WSTR, then you may initiate the process through either association.

• If you are solely a USTRC member, the appeals process will need to be initiated through the USTRC National Office at (254) 968-0002 ext 5150.

Hopefully this answers some of your questions but if not, please don’t hesitate to call the USTRC National Office.

World Series of Team Roping Buckeye 10, Largest WSTR Qualifier Ever!

Traditionally the New Years qualifier is the big one, but this record breaker came out of nowhere. Four divisions and the payoff was $314,000 including $22,800 that went to the winners of the #10, the largest qualifier ($150) in the history of the WSTR. We are being careful to signify the $150 version since Complete Light Duty the biggest check of the weekend was Diesel Truck Maintenance the $100,000 winners’ check at and Diagnostics Wildfire. But the entry there was $1,500 Preventative Maintenance per team, pick one draw one. The Pre-purchase Inspections relevance of the entry fees did not miss the attention of the old dogs. So if you do the math on a $300 entry fee, you VSA 3700 Morris St. NEIN HOUSE PROOF should find that CRX’D the payoff was 76 times Albuquerque, NM 87111 the entry fee, which is a record that located on the NE corner of certainly won’t be broken real soon by Morris & Comanche anyone in the roping industry.

Hours: Johnny Chambers and Justin M-F 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Solomon were the winners. Johnny is a retired Napa Auto Parts dealer from Okema, OK. Justin is from Anthol, Idaho and is an oil driller up in North Dakota. With two weeks on and two weeks off, what better way to recover from the cold than Arizona.

Johnny got the biggest kick out of his wife. She didn’t come to Arizona with him this winter, and when he told her about the win on the phone, she just went to hollering. Johnny said he didn’t know Justin prior to the roping. “Floyd Marshall said the young man roped good and encouraged me to rope with him,” remarked Johnny. “We roped a leg in the short round and were really surprised when they announced us as Henry & Hilda Nakai winners”. Johnny said this is his second P.O. Box 1303 biggest check in history as he hit a lick Bloomfield, NM 87413 in the #9 at the 2009 USTRC Finals.

Wildfire Businessman’s Blow Out! Second Record Breaker of the Weekend Before the roping started, the Texans had already heard about Buckeye, the largest World Series qualifier of the first six years. At that same moment Billy Pipes was experiencing a major

problem. He had a bunch of ropers whose partners didn’t pay and/or didn’t show because of the weather, and sponsors and good customers demanding to enter. In a weak moment, he said “yes,” let them in. That one word added over 100 teams to the roping and guaranteed the roping would pay $263,000!

It was cold and it was long, but there weren’t many complaints. The big payoff with $100,000 to the winning team not only matched the winning check of the Wildfire Open to the World, but the payoff passed the total payoff of the Open event (the assumed premier roping of the weekend). The jury will be out on what the payoff will be for the Perfect 10 in Las Vegas, but it appears at this moment that this could be the largest special fees qualifier of 2012.

The winning team this year was Josh Espenhover and Scott Snedecor. Scott has two gold buckles tripping steers and has long been known as a top calf roper, but this is first big success as a heeler.

“I’ve headed my whole life and the calf roping and tripping has all come pretty natural to me, but this heeling is just something I can’t seem to master,” said Scott. “Seems like one day I’m getting it and some days it’s gone. I have been working at it pretty hard trying to get ready for the Timed Event. Maybe this is a good sign.”

Josh Espenhover hasn’t been roping that long. He works for the Guy family on their ranch and got his start driving a rodeo rig for Tommy Guy several years ago. Josh had two calls in the short round and both of the partners were draw partners. “Scott and I had 11 seconds to rope the last steer and when I turned the steer he started shuffling his feet. I sped him up and he eventually hopped where Scott could catch him and we were 10.73,” remarked Josh. “I knew he was tracking a long way and got really nervous. I think anyone else that wasn’t as cool headed as Scott would have just thrown their rope.”

THE

Non-stop Action for the past 36 years continues

filled with mixed emotions, including excitement to see who would become the days winners and the Series champions, as well as a little regret to see another year finished up and the lack of excitement that has filled the adrenaline junkies gap for the past five weeks. The action was hot once the day kicked off though, J.R. Chino collected the win of Sunday’s Bareback riding action with a 67 point ride. Robert Aragon claimed the top score in the saddle bronc riding. He posted a 77 point ride to secure the final round win. The Open bull riding witnessed Justin Howlett move into the number one spot with an 84 point ride, followed by Cody Strite who won second place with a 79 point ride. The novice bull riding closed out with Trea Randolph

claiming the final win of the series with a 72 point ride and Tanner Harvey winning second place with a 67 point ride.

The weekend was over and the points tallied to see who would become the 36th Annual Baca Rough Stock Series Champions. The bucking horse events were combined and two riders who consistently made great rides were awarded for their efforts. Rookie and first time ‘Baca Series’ contestant Zach Nugent earned the title. He claimed a total of 429 points throughout the series and took home the championship trophy buckle. Reserve champion, J.R. Chino had 404 points to his name and won the trophy watchband. The ‘Baca Series’ also gave out award to the ranch bronc riding winners, who were Wade Walraven who

earned 219 points and Jake Corn who claimed the reserve championship.

In the open bull riding, one name hit the top of the leader-board more than once throughout the series, Joseph McConnel who hails out of Bloomfield, New Mexico claimed the ‘Baca Series’ title and the championship trophy buckle with a combined total of 397 points.

Justin Howlett earned the trophy watchband and the reserve title with a total of 245 points. The novice bull riding was the closest race of the series. One point separated the top two contestants.

Tristan Howard took the championship home with a 281 points. Tanner Harvey was just a heart beat behind and took home the reserve championship after posting 280 points throughout the season.

“We’ve been doing this for 36 years and it wrapped up pretty good,” added Baca. “We had a good time, there were plenty of contestants each weekend and it was a solid series.”

The Baca Rough Stock Series has stood the test of time and you can bet there will be many more years of this event to come. The history of rodeo runs deep and no other event showcases the raw talents and energized action of the rough stock end of the arena like the ‘Baca Series!’

Jr. Rodeo Set the Mark High

T

he New Mexico Junior Rodeo Association kicked off the 2012 season in Las Cruces, New Mexico and set the mood for a great year! Close to 100 kids competed both days during the first weekend of March, each of them with big dreams and aspirations of winning big, all the while enjoying the ins and outs of the sport of rodeo. Parents and kids alike enjoyed the rodeo and the New Mexico State Fairgrounds in Las Cruces. The event was well orchestrated.

From good quality stock, fair and honest judging, as well as those who kept things going, including the announcer, the new 2012 NMJRA secretary and everyone who pitched in to help, the event never skipped a beat. It looks as though the newly formed board of directors is on track to make the association one of the

best in the country.

The NMJRA is in a re-building state and looks to be going strong at the start of this season. The junior rodeo association had great success last year and with a full load of directors helping to make the NMJRA even better, you can bet 2012 is going to top the ladder of success once again. In addition, a large list of Sponsors is on board to help the association grow and succeed. Without a doubt the NMJRA is doing well and helping produce a tough caliber of rodeo contestants for years to come.

Las Cruces was only the first of five events on the 2012 season schedule all across the state. This month, NMJRA contestants will be pounding the arena in Belen, New Mexico on April, 28-29. From there, they will head to Mountainair in

June, Grants in July and then wrap things up in Santa Fe at the NMJRA Finals. The Finals was originally scheduled for August, but conflicting dates at the Santa Fe facility required the NMJRA to move the dates up into the end of July.

The junior rodeo competition has already heated up during the event in Las Cruces. Front runners have moved to the front of the pack and all of the contestants showed they have the qualities to be successful. The big winners coming out of the southern event included Cooper Wood and Payson Hicks who claimed the 6 and under boy and girl buckles of the weekend. They shared the victory with Sterlin English and Quincy Sullivan in the 7-9 boy and girl divisions, as well as Quinten Wood and Kerstyn Ross in the 10-12 boy and girl divisions. Garrett

Jacobs and Bianca Sauceda took home the 13-15 boy and girl buckles as did Jim Breck Bean and Lindsey Adcock who won the 16-19 boy and girl buckles.

Thanks to Travis Sullivan who has stepped in to help with the rough stock events, buckles were also awarded to Tatton Allsup in the Mini Bull division, Lathan Moreno in the Jr. Bulls and Stetson Bonds who claimed the Sr. bull riding buckle.

The NMJRA board of directors, the contestants and all of the parents should all be applauded for the Las Cruces rodeo achievement. It takes a lot of hands all working together to make a junior rodeo run smooth and the NMJRA has a great combination of all of this to make the association and the season ahead a tremendous success.

M

arch is over and that means good weather and sunny skies are ahead of us for 2012. I have to say things are looking pretty bright in the rodeo world. Already this year events have been great and it seems more people are out competing. The recent Baca Series wrapped up and although it is not the ‘Series’ of years past, it was good and after talking with Casper Baca, he was pleased with the event and seemed energized to head down the road to more events throughout the summer. Additionally, the NMRA looks to be ready to go. With a new secretary, Carrie Richardson hitting the ground running, with the help of past secretary, Janice Aragon hanging around to lend a hand, as well as all of the positive talk from the directors and President John Adams, the 2012 season looks to be one to remember.

Several things seem to be coming together to make things more positive in the sport of rodeo. It looks like there is more money to win at rodeos this year, rodeo committees are vigorously working to make their events more attractive to cowboys and cowgirls and plans are already underway to make this year’s finals bigger and better.

On the team roping front, after talking to many ropers who are leaving the “snowbird” haven of Arizona and heading back home for the summer, they all have the same thing to say – all of the ropings were great this winter in the sunshine state. I got a big kudos from a team roper I ran into a few days ago who was passing through. He wanted to say thanks to Ty Yost for all of the great ropings and for being an honest, straight shooting and professional producer. Looking beyond Arizona, team ropings all across the country are bigger and better then they have been in several years. The USTRC shows signs of not only

increases in regular memberships, but Gold Plus memberships as well. They say it is close to a 15% increase overall. In addition, events have been bigger throughout the country too.

It looks to me like people have begun to dig out of the financial downturn that played a role in events over the past couple of years and are returning to things they enjoy. I have not looked, but I wonder how other sports such as recreational golf, amateur racing and other hobby-type sports are doing. If team roping is any indicator, things look to be doing well overall.

With all of this good news, it’s hard to find any ‘dirt’ to throw around. If I had anything to grip about, it would be fuel prices. If you all remember, it was high fuel prices that began our country’s current economic downward spiral. When the price of fuel got out of hand a few years ago, people began hitting a financial wall that did not give. Spending more just to get back and forth to work burdened a lot of folks who were on the edge, or living paycheck to paycheck anyway. This spawned the housing market crash that turned on the heat for the financial world meltdown. From there, companies started hitting their bottom lines and began cutting labor cost. The fiasco continued to roll downhill. I am just afraid that if fuel prices continue to increase, it could began a whole new turn of bad fate for the country.

Well, that’s about all the room I have for this month and I wish everyone the best of luck for the upcoming summer season. I also wish all of those ropers heading out of Arizona well and hope they all make it home safely.

Until next month – “Dirt” Keep it under your feet.

PBR “Nothing in life is impossible.”

So said Silvano Alves, winner of the Last Cowboy Standing.

He’d been asked if he was growing impatient with being ranked outside the Top 10 of the world standings despite having a 68 percent riding average - the third-highest among the Top 35 professional bull riders in the world.

He said the key is “staying after it.”

It took 10 events, but the reigning World Champion won for the first time in 2012, and now finds himself ranked seventh in the world.

He rode three bulls Saturday at Ford Field, outlasting Robson Palermo and Renato Nunes to claim the event title and a payday of $162,733.

“I prayed that I would start this year out riding well and I wouldn’t get hurt,”

said Alves. “It’s hard. … You have to know how to lose an event. You have to be a good loser in order to be a good winner.

“This season, the bulls I’ve been falling off of I can live with. You can’t win every event.”

His 3-for-3 performance in Detroit pushed his season average up to 68 percent, which is now the highest among the top contenders for the title, and his 17 qualified rides is third best.

Alves rode Double Back in the opening round for 83.5 points. He was given a re-ride on Movin’ On in Round 2 before covering Buck Wild for 86 points.

He rode Blue-Emu After the Pain in Round 3 for 87.75 points to win the event.

Palermo, competing for the first time since having his riding shoulder surgically repaired last November, bucked off Party All the Time at 7.04

seconds.

“I rode all my bulls, and thank God I came out ahead,” Alves said. “I asked God to give me one event. Give me something here. This event, I came in riding well, and I won this one.”

Alves won the event on the same bull that eliminated him in the second round of last year’s Last Cowboy Standing.

It was only his second Top 5 finish this year - he was second in Sacramento, Calif. - and his fourth Top 10 finish.

He’s averaging a little over 233 points per Built Ford Tough Series event, which is less than half of what he averaged last season, and about 170 points off of J.B. Mauney’s pace atop this year’s standings after 10 events.

Alves now trails Mauney by 1,744.5 points.

The Top 8 riders are within 2,000 points of the lead a third of the way through the season.

NE W C A L F TIE DOWN

Sparky has a new inexpensive way to train your horses and practice tie down roping. The new Sparky calf sled can be pulled behind a 4 wheeler or any type of pulling unit. You get the same practice as with live calves but not the livestock up-keep and cost. The Sparky calf tie down will give your horse a jerk when it is roped and releases from the sled. You can run your rope, pick up the calf and tie it. The legs are spring loaded for gathering them. The front left leg has a loose hock joint to press straight for tying. The calf body is 75 Ibs. and it comes with a bladder for more body weight. Body and legs are made from a plastic rubber material that is flexible and very durable.

Dear Ropers, Do you feel like a million dollars?

That is exactly what the USTRC is about to bestow on all of its competing members in 2012. Not to feel like a million dollars, but to present all of you collectively with an actual million dollars in cash! This is a game changer, as it far exceeds anything that has ever been done at the USTRC since the invention of the Shoot-Out. The consequences are going to be truly revolutionary.

Why? Because instead of you, the roper, contributing added money to the National Finals Shoot-Out Fund, that money will now be provided solely by the USTRC, and it’s guaranteed to be a minimum of One Million Dollars! From here on out, not one dime of your entry fees will go toward added money at the National Finals of Team Roping (NFTR).

For those of you who are unclear on how huge payouts at the NFTR have been previously generated, here is a quick reminder. A critical aspect of USTRC’s success was to create a National Finals event unsurpassed in the amount of money awarded to its National Champions.

That goal has been accomplished, signified by the fact that for the last 11 years, over one million dollars of added money has magnified the incredible purses at the USTRC National Finals of Team Roping.

Until now, a large portion of that money has come from the roper, in the form of a five percent contribution coming

out of your entry fees at every USTRC sanctioned roping. Your contributions helped to build the National Finals of Team Roping into the sport’s premier event – the largest and richest team roping in the world. In appreciation for all you’ve done, the USTRC is stepping up to contribute all of the added money, and we guarantee to add one million dollars to the NFTR purse.

This commitment demonstrates how much faith the USTRC has in this sport and its members. But what exactly does this pledge mean to you? It means cash purses at every sanctioned event will dramatically increase. Based on roper contributions in 2011, over $750,000 more cash will be paid out at sanctioned events per season, without you having to lift a financial finger.

That’s the new deal, the revolution USTRC is initiating right now.

But the roper is not the only beneficiary. The business of producing team ropings is not an easy road to travel. USTRC producers have a substantial commitment in time, effort and money for every roping they put on, with no guarantee to earn a profit. And ropers, they do HAVE to earn a profit, or they will not be in this business very long. So the USTRC further pledges support of the unsung heroes of our business – the producers.

You may not be aware that USTRC producers have also significantly contributed to the National Finals Shoot-Out Fund. In 2011, producers

added over a quarter of a million dollars out of their pocket to the Shoot-Out Fund. In the 2012 season, producers are no longer required to contribute to the Fund. This helps our producers stay in the game so they can continue providing ropers the best productions found anywhere in the sport of team roping.

So, the revolution is upon us. The 2012 season marks a historic juncture in USTRC history as we continue our quest to provide greater value to our members. Now, ropers who cannot attend the Cinch NFTR won’t see their money siphoned off to an event he or she cannot attend. But the NFTR remains intact with the enormous cash purses and nominal entry fees that have made the NFTR the preeminent team roping year after year. Now cash purses at sanctioned events will grow by more than an estimated $750,000. You no longer need a math degree and a Cray computer to figure how much of your entry fees go into the roper’s pot. That number is two-thirds. Period. End of story!

Sincerely,

Kirk Bray

Inaugural Meeting, Facilitated by Pfizer Animal Health, Offers Collaboration on Advancement of Initiatives Pivotal to Development of the Veterinary Profession Five prominent Colleges of Veterinary Medicine located in the Western U.S. recently convened to create the Consortium of Western Regional Colleges of Veterinary Medicine. The Consortium was formed to collaborate in the advancement of initiatives critical to the future of the veterinary profession.

To ensure actions are put in place to address these priorities, representatives from each of the colleges created a regional thinktank with a commitment to action and

ALL-AROUND

mutual collaboration. Representatives, including the deans from Colorado State University, Oregon State University, Western University of Health Sciences, Washington State University and University of California at Davis, met in San Francisco this past October and created the Consortium to pursue set objectives.

The inaugural meeting of the Consortium was funded and facilitated by Pfizer Animal Health as part of the company’s Commitment to Veterinarians™ platform—which offers support through training and education, research and development, investing in the future of the veterinary profession, and philanthropy.

The Consortium collaborated on the following topics outlined as top priorities in veterinary medicine: • Gaps between selected career tracks among veterinarians and societal needs • Targeted recruiting and professional readiness among graduating veterinarians • Learning and application of soft skills to keep veterinarians at the center of healthcare • Identifying and devising ways for academic institutions to share resources and create Centers of Excellence • The importance of strong and continued faculty development to promote rich and innovative learning environments “The first meeting of the Consortium of Western Regional Colleges of Veterinary Medicine was tremendously productive; the concept behind the group and the identified areas of potential collaboration align closely with strategic priorities of the veterinary profession, as well as with short- and longterm goals of the institutions, with a focus on creating better-prepared graduates, developing faculty and modeling collaboration,” said Vanessa Mariani, Director of Academic & Professional Affairs for Pfizer Animal Health. “We are fully committed to continued engagement with the Consortium in support of securing a strong, relevant future for the profession.”

An important achievement during the inaugural meeting of the Consortium was the development of a rubric for collaboration, which will be used to develop and implement shared strategies. Unanimous agreement was reached to start working immediately on the topic of faculty development by creating a regional teaching academy. Plans are being developed for Consortium members to reconvene in the near future to work out the details of this initial collaborative project.

THE

ALL-AROUND

by Lee Pitts

Bureaucrats In Training

S

ome Washington DC grown-ups making mischief have proposed changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act what would forbid youths under the age of 16 from operating tractors on operations other than their own family farms.

Are these people nuts? That’s a rhetorical question; of course they are, they’re government bureaucrats. Their job is to stifle ambition, creativity and humanity. Next thing you know they’ll say kids under the age of 21 can’t ride horses without helmets, knee pads, shin guards, a rollover bar, seat belts and

training wheels.

The proposed changes are in response to a new study that says agriculture is the most dangerous profession. But that’s just because the same government bureaucrats have put most of the loggers and fishermen out of business with their endless regulations.

We’re told that the feds are also considering making rules that would forbid kids from working when it gets too hot. My, my, get little Hortense and Farnsworth out of the sun, hand them their sippy cup, blanky, video game and some junk food. And mothers, don’t forget to disinfect with one of those disinfectant wipes you carry in your purse. The kids will be safe that way.

And you’ll still be handing them their allowance when they come back to live with you at age 26 because all the jobs have been taken by foreign kids who weren’t nurse-maided and mollycoddled.

When I was the age they are talking about I got a job so that one day I could buy my own pickup. And when I got that pickup I knew how to drive because old Mr. Moore let me drive his equally old Fordson tractor to pull the spray rig.

Believe me, the only safety device that tractor had was a rear view mirror with Mr. Moore in it, checking on my driving. Occasionally he even let me drive it when he wasn’t around, but he later studied my tire tracks to see if I deviated from the straight and narrow. If these proposed new rules had been in effect then I wouldn’t have been near the driver I was when I got to drive the family car and, who knows, I might have hit another car head on as we both were traveling at 65 miles an hour instead of hitting the occasional slow-moving lemon tree while going three miles per hour on the tractor.

I learned important things while driving my first tractor, such as, watch your gauges, know your implements, keep air in your tires, keep your hitches low, don’t run out of fuel, look behind you as well as in front of you, don’t exhaust in a closed building, and don’t be in a hurry to take chances. These all turned out to be important lessons for life as well as driving a tractor.

We figure things out better and faster when we’re kids, just look at six year olds with their cell phones. I was a workhorse at an early age and sure I got hurt. I was riding a bike to my work all over town, and of course I fell down once in awhile, but I got right back on and explored the world. At least that part accessible to a kid on a Schwinn bike that I paid for myself by doing jobs the feds wouldn’t let me do now.

Years ago a tractor company issued their ten commandments for tractor safety. One of them was, “Keep your kids off and away from your tractor.” It’s the worst advice I ever heard. Kids ought to be required to be around tractors. Maybe then they’d be better drivers when we hand them the keys at age 16. Bureaucrats worry that kids are “at risk.” I have news for them, kids are born at risk. If you don’t want them to be in danger don’t have any.

There’s a fine line between being careful and being overprotective, and we’ve crossed that line. Most urban American kids today don’t work outside in the sun much, that’s for farm kids, foreigners and migrant workers. Instead they sit on their duffs spending hours Facebooking, Tweeting, and producing nothing except text messages and high video game scores. They’re in training to become government bureaucrats. wwwLeePittsbooks.com
