As we look back on the year, we reflect on a few of Association the items facing our membership today:

• Bird flu – we actually had a northern region who were forced to immediately cancel an already NSTRA Office started trial by the Department of Fish and Wildlife because of the bird flu epidemic. 203 N. Mill St. Plainfield, IN 46168 • Extremely harsh winter caused many trials to be conducted in snow, wind, and subarctic (317) 839-4059 temperatures.

NSTRA OFFICERS • The partnership with Anheuser-Busch is so very pivotal for all of us regardless if we are involved PRESIDENT with NSTRA or not. A-B donated nearly $9M last year to conservation practices nationwide. This Chad Collison is a huge testament to not only our sport, but for all of our hunting, fishing, hiking, and outdoor enthusiasts. It’s very important we all watch these things carefully and take an active part in our 1st VICE PRESIDENT local areas. With personal efforts from each and every one of us, combined with companies such Scott Townsend as A-B, we can clearly make a difference and forge a path preserving the beauties God has so 2nd VICE PRESIDENT graciously given us!! Adam Fellers • It’s been spoken about for many years, but we are finally nearly finished with having a judging SECRETARY instructor package to be used nationwide to help our judging become more consistent from one Marilyn (Frank) Cunningham end of the country to the next. It has been a long, daunting task, but we hope to begin rolling it out shortly and have final approval at DOY. TREASURER John C. Davis • We had high hopes to have a completed online draw and database overhaul, however, none of us could predict the litany of issues we would face. As we began to work on resolving some of NSTRA OFFICE PERSONNEL the unforeseen problems, we inevitably created new ones, and so the snowball began. In the end, Julia Herwehe having fully heard the arduous cries from our membership, we officers chose to take a step back, Emily Perkins allow trial chairs to use either online draw or a chip draw, and really reassess the situation and take Diane Campbell a different approach. We put together a committee that can teach a computer programmer how to chip draw a trial in any possible situation, then we took a hard look at our database only to find out email: [email protected] its code was written in a prehistoric language we can’t simply roll over. Thus, we chose to hire a NSTRA: consultant, have the consultant listen to exactly what our needs are from members, officers, chip draw committee, and office personnel, and then locate a company capable of putting all of this The magazine for NSTRA members together along with an updated website. We want one clean, turnkey package that is not segmented CREATIVE: and rushed at the last minute; as of today we have the consultant and a proposed programming Julie A. Carrier company. Our next step is to clearly identify the scope of work and allow the programmers to www.juliecarrierstudio.com give us a hands on presentation to review and present the BOD at DOY.

UTAH

As the final braces came in that would conclude the weekend trial that we in the Utah Region call the Roosevelt Rumble on 3-22-15. The score board showed that this day would end a very long road for Mat Blockavich and his Weimaraner, Boomer. With a win in B field Boomer would finally have enough points to Earn his NSTRA Championship, and become the very first of his breed to do so. A road that had started on May 15,2010 when a promising young dog papered as “Westend's Boomerand Fury” won a field in his very first NSTRA trial, and Mat set a goal to champion this gray ghost even against the odds. For the next five years Mat and Boomer would battle the odds trying to find enough points. They are always competitive and had some success even finishing runner up in the Regional elimination trial in 2011. For a number of reasons the path slowed and points became tough to come by. This was partially because of Mat's willingness to step up and judge in a small region that often has a shortage of judges. There was also a string of bad luck that left Mat wondering if the final points would ever come. They did come however and everyone in the Utah Region was excited when the final points came for Boomer. The first Weimaraner to champion in The National Shoot To Retrieve Association is “Westend's Boomerang Fury” Owned by Mat Blockavich. Congratulations Mat and Boomer!

Rossman's Fancy Hi-Jinx SRF Vicki Rossman holding Jinx It comes with a little story I like to share with you. It is a two and one half hour ride from home to the Dark Acres Hunt Club in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. My dogs are kennel dogs and typically ride in the back of my truck. After an 30 minutes on the road I decided to put my little Shorthair female, Clio, in the front seat of the truck. It was her first front seat ride and she just lay next to me with her head on my arm. It wasn't until I arrived at Dark Acres that I realized that it was June 1 and it was Clio's birthday. The front seat ride couldn't have paid off any more and you can see the results in the photo attached. Clio took 1st place with 4/4/B. To top that Clio celebrated her third birthday with her third 1st placement and these along with two seconds now has 13 points and is well on her way toward her championship. That night she slept in the front of the truck and not in a kennel. fall trials continued October 17-18, 2015 September 19-20, 2016 South Plains Pointer Club The American Brittany Ottawa State Park Shallowater, TX The American Brittany Club is a member club Oconomowoc, WI Randy Jordan of the American Kennel Club and the recognized Open Dbl/Dbl (806) 781-5077 breed sponsor by the American Field.

JUNE/JULY 2015 I 40 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG 2015 TRIAL OF CHAMPIONS Every Champion was once a contender that refused to give up. Handler’s arrived in Amo, IN for the 2015 Trial of Champions and were welcomed with beautiful sunshine, warm breezy days, good food and great dogs. This year we had 154 entries representing 21 regions; qualifications for entry were the dogs had to be at least a 1xCH by February 1, 2015 and any dog that received its 1xCH between February 2 and March 31 could be entered as a paid standby. The Conservation Bird Dog Club ran practice fields on Monday and Tuesday, and boundaries/safety zones were explained to the officials Wednesday morning by Trial Chairman, Scott Townsend. Officials for this week were: Stan Perdue - Georgia, Cory Perdue - Georgia, Nancy Ashmore - Florida, Martin Ueltschey - Gulf Coast Texas, Brian English - Gulf Coast Texas, Dorothy Jaspering - Mid South, Jack Glover - Missouri Show-Me, Mark Kohlberg - Illinois, and JW Collins - Kentucky. Bird Planters were Casey Perdue - Georgia and Curt Beckley - Mo-Kan; coordinating was Emily Perkins - NSTRA Office. Entrants were served a home-style breakfast every morning, and the trial began each day at 8 am. After Scott Townsend gave the invocation, and the national anthem was played, 2015 Trial of Champions was on its way. Different this year was the issue of bye spots. We began the trial with 7 open spots, and based on a decision made at the October BOD meeting, handlers were allowed to put any dog entered in the trial into a drawing for a paid bye spot and would be eligible for placement on the field, but not for advancement to Friday. Paid bye dogs are marked with *** after the registered name.

The format for the 2015 Trial of Champions was as follows: Wednesday - 2 Fields/16 Braces/Top 15 Dogs, Thursday - 3 Fields/15 Braces/Top 14 Dogs, Friday - 3 Fields/12 Braces/Top 8 Dogs, Saturday - 3 Fields/4 Braces/Top 4 Dogs, 3 Fields/2 Braces/Top 2 Dogs, 1 Field/3 Braces/Top 2 Dogs, Final Hour

Judging A-field on Wednesday were Stan Perdue and Bodie Ray (Georgia) with Nancy marshaling.

Due to having poison oak in his eye, Casey was unable to plant birds this day; big brother Cory stepped right to the plate and did a wonderful job! Thank you to Bodie for coming and judging for the day; we greatly appreciate your service.

At the conclusion of the 16th brace, everyone headed to the clubhouse for the Welcome dinner. Wayne Fishburn and Butch Jackson had spent the day smoking ribs and brisket, making pulled pork BBQ; CBDC served up green beans, scallop potatoes, baked beans, rolls, and dessert. Participants were excited to get in line to see what had been making the grounds smell so delicious all day. Following dinner, the BOD headed in for their bi-annual meeting. Exciting decisions were discussed and made; please contact your Region President for more information!

Thursday morning brought us another beautiful day, with temperatures in the 70’s throughout the day and plenty of sunshine. Casey Perdue was back with us to begin the day bird planting with Curt Beckley; unfortunately in the 2nd brace, with a shoulder injury he was put out for the rest of the weekend. Curt took on the challenge of planting 3 fields, and did an excellent job! Thank you to Curt for accepting the responsibility and we hope Casey is feeling better.

Judging A-field on Thursday were Jack and Mark with JW marshaling.

Thursday night’s events included a banquet meal served by Jug’s Catering; this year, the menu was changed up to include fried chicken, ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn, salad, and biscuits with Jug’s famous apple butter. NSTRA President, Chad Collison, then began the awards presentation for the winners of Wednesday and Thursday’s fields. He also presented the Ross Young painting to Clayton Ashmore and Sharron Watson for TJ’s Micro- Tequila Watson, the 2014 Trial of Champions winner.

Friday morning was a bit chillier than the rest of the week, but it quickly warmed up when the sun came out. We started the day with 72 dogs competing for the 24 spots that would advance to Saturday morning.

Judging A-field on Friday were Martin and Brian with Dorothy marshaling.

Once the braces were finished, everyone waited anxiously in the clubhouse for the draws to be posted. Once the draws were posted and seen, everyone retired for the evening.

Saturday morning brought us a chance of rain, and boy oh boy did it rain! For a few hours, we thought we would be running a Final Hour like in Florida at the QI - in mud to our ankles and the rain just coming down. Luckily, the rain began to let up around lunch, and it turned out to be nice cool afternoon for running dogs.

Judging A-field were Stan and Cory with Nancy marshaling.

It had poured down rain for most of the last round, so handlers brought their dogs into the clubhouse to be warmed up. Thank you Emily for providing the small space heater for these hard workers. While the dogs were resting, and handlers were getting a snack, the gate was moved to open A and B field and prepare for the final hour. Once the rain had let up, Adam & Nose met Greg & Jake in the blind to wait for the final 10 birds to be planted.

Judging the Final Hour were Martin and Brian with Dorothy handling.

Congratulations again to Jake, Greg and Jim! Thank you again to all of our sponsors and volunteers for helping us make this such a great trial! We greatly missed Eddie Dunford of WetMutt Products and look forward to seeing him in the future. We were also missing Dean Reinke from Purina, but it was such a pleasure to get to see Bob West. Sara Chisnell and Todd Kellam of UKC joined us again this year, and it’s always great to see Sara’s dogs Sue and Carli - especially when Carli starts to doing all of her tricks to get treats. Thank you to all of our officials; we couldn’t put the trial on without you. Thank you to Sharron Watson, Olivia and Emma Coke for helping in the backroom, and to CBDC for the great food and hospitality. This was Emily’s first year coordinating a National Trial by herself; you did a great job! Thank you to each of the National Officers for being on hand to answer everyone’s questions and to show your support for the members of this organization. Highlights: Wednesday night and Thursday morning we had an outbreak of cows in C-field. Luckily Eli Coke was on hand to wrangle them back into their own field and we were able to start the trial on time. We had the issue of Casey Perdue and having poison oak in his eye, and then having an injured shoulder, leaving him unable to bird plant the weekend. Of course, everyone took the opportunity to pick on him, but we all hope he’s doing well now. It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Donny Wright, one of the founding fathers of NSTRA. Donny received the Distinguished Members award in 2014.

JUNE/JULY 2015 I 58 I WWW.NSTRA.ORG It was also a trying time for Greg Wood as Meghan, his daughter, had recently lost her boyfriend, Keaton McMurray, to cancer on April 19th. Keaton had been battling Osteosarcoma, a form of bone cancer, since 2013. A true country man, Keaton loved animals and all things outdoors. Our deepest sympathies and love are with Meghan, her family, and Keaton’s family. Thank you again to everyone who attended the 2015 Trial of Champions. It was great to see you all, and until next time, Happy Trialing! n
