  • Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2011
    OldSmokeys Newsletter Newsletter of the Pacific Northwest Forest Service Retirees — Fall 2011 President’s Message—John Berry It was good to see and talk with so many of you at the Summer Picnic. Some I had not seen for years and I wished there had been more time to catch up. And it was a pleasure to see the great attendance by Regional Office and Mt. Hood National Forest leaders. It means a lot to have Regional Forester and OldSmokey Kent Connaughton and Forest Supervisor Chris Worth attend our functions. Both are very approachable and great listeners. It’s good to see the Region is in good hands. A big thanks to Mike Ash for donating one of his beautiful wood bowls for the raffle to support the PNWFSA Emergency Relief Fund. And, no, I did not bribe Kent Connaughton to draw my wife’s ticket! Thanks to Rick Larson for reserving the picnic area. Thanks to Bev Pratt, Mary Moyer, and Deb Warren for welcoming and doing the name tags. Of course, Dave Dalton and his crew did a great job of catering. Also, check out Paul Enberg’s and John Poppino’s photos on our website at <www.oldsmokeys.org>. The picnic reminds me what it means to be a member of the “Forest Service Family.” Next to my own family, the Forest Service has been the single most important factor in my life. The Forest Service offered me incredible career opportunities as it p rovided outstanding education and training, good pay, and a retirement annuity that allows my wife and me to live comfortably.

  • The Following Event Descriptions Are Presented for Your Edification and Clarification on What Is Being Represented and Celebrated in Bronze for Our Champions
    The following event descriptions are presented for your edification and clarification on what is being represented and celebrated in bronze for our champions. RODEO: Saddle Bronc Riding Saddle Bronc has been a part of the Calgary Stampede since 1912. Style, grace and rhythm define rodeo’s “classic” event. Saddle Bronc riding is a true test of balance. It has been compared to competing on a balance beam, except the “apparatus” in rodeo is a bucking bronc. A saddle bronc rider uses a rein attached to the horse’s halter to help maintain his seat and balance. The length of rein a rider takes will vary on the bucking style of the horse he is riding – too short a rein and the cowboy can get pulled down over the horse’s head. Of a possible 100 points, half of the points are awarded to the cowboy for his ride and spurring action. The other half of the points come from how the bronc bucks and its athletic ability. The spurring motion begins with the cowboy’s feet over the points of the bronc’s shoulders and as the horse bucks, the rider draws his feet back to the “cantle’, or back of the saddle in an arc, then he snaps his feet back to the horse’s shoulders just before the animal’s front feet hit the ground again. Bareback Riding Bareback has also been a part of the Stampede since 1912. In this event, the cowboy holds onto a leather rigging with a snug custom fit handhold that is cinched with a single girth around the horse – during a particularly exciting bareback ride, a rider can feel as if he’s being pulled through a tornado.
