January 2016 - Mid Valley Unit
Backcountry Horsemen of California — Mid Valley Unit Mid Valley Monthly Volume 28, Issue 1 JANUARY 2016 Page 1 President’s Message Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all! This is my last newsletter, as my term is over. Our newly elected president is Dennis Serpa. He was our president when I first joined this unit. He went on to become the BCHC state president. Dennis is very active with our parade group and is one of our youth directors. He was instrumental in organizing the BCHA National meeting at Jerry Tindell’s last April. I asked Dennis to lead our unit, as he is well respected amongst all of our members and a great leader. He graciously accepted and I am very excited about our 2016 year. We are building a fantastic relationship with the Forest Service as the head ranger of Summit District, Molly Fuller, attended our last meeting. She was accompanied by Forest Supervisor Miguel Macias. Molly spoke to the unit for a short time and answered some questions. The unit applauded Molly and Miguel for their presence and interest in keeping trails open. The one concern the unit had was why so many trees are dying. Molly explained that when dead trees are cut down, they are analyzed for the cause of death. Not to our surprise, her answer was that most of the trees are drought stricken. I know all farmers and agriculture people in the valley are praying for a super winter. All of the meteorologists are talking El Nino, but I will believe it when I see it! All we can do is see what Mother Nature has in store for us day by day. The storms are hitting certain parts of the country pretty hard and maybe we ought to be careful of what we ask for. I was driving down by a river yesterday and it looked like people forgot what the rivers look like when they overflow. I saw homes located short distances from disaster. Just imagine getting six inches of rain in an hour. Regardless of the circumstances, I’m still praying. Calling all Dutch oven chefs! When I joined this unit, it was the cobbler desserts that impressed me and my sweet tooth the most. Some of our members also knew very well how to cook those great casseroles, also which made for a perfect and well balanced meal. We are going to have a couple of DOG days each of the next two months so we can practice, enjoy company, meet new friends and have a Mid Valley Unit Happy Meal. The attendance at the Christmas party was down this year and we have formed a committee to research if we should have a Christmas party in 2016 or have a different type of gathering to replace it. I know this party is very important because many of you attend it every year. For some of you, this is the only unit event you attend. Please keep in mind that at our annual Christmas party, we also elect our next year’s new directors. If we decide to cancel the Christmas party for 2016 and substitute a different winter event, we have to set the date in January, give or take a month. If you have any ideas, concerns or different places, call Katherine Reeves. She is the committee chairperson. I must say, it was my pleasure to serve my fellow Mid Valley members as your president the last two years, but I firmly believe that change is healthy for any organization. I hope that everyone supports Backcountry Horsemen as they have done in the past or even more in the future! Happy Trails. Carl Youth & Novice Packing Practice Doug and Cathy Dollarhide will be hosting a “Packing Practice” at their home in Escalon sometime in late January or February, 2016. This event will be geared toward those youth members who would like to get in some practice, with possible plans for competing at the BCHC Rendezvous in March. For our novices, this is a chance to get more hands-on practice before the summer packing season arrives. Maybe you are already packing, but would just like some additional practice before the contests at Rendezvous? Once we nail down an exact date, we will have it in the next newsletter, and we will notify members with an email blast. If you are interested in this event, please contact Doug Dollarhide or Karen Lopes for details. V OLUME 2 8, I SSUE 1 MID VALLEY MONTHLY Sunshine Dutch Oven Gathering Report By Katherine Reeves (via Carol Jo Hargreaves) By Vicki Whisler Hello everyone. I sent several cards this month. We were sorry to learn of the passing of Manuel DeOliveria. Manuel and his wife Carla, have been members of Mid Valley Unit since the ‘90s and Manuel served very capably in his term as unit secretary. Carla, we are sorry for your loss. Sadly, Roger Rummerfield’s father was diagnosed with cancer and Sandee Watts’ cancer has returned. Dora Rocha was injured in a horse accident. Julie Perry is still dealing with her knee problems. Please keep each of these unit members in your thoughts and prayers. If you know of someone needing some sunshine, please let me know. My phone number is 209-402-7252 or you may email me at boopoopidu@aol.com. Happy New Year!

All of you know that anything cooked in a Dutch oven is good! Let’s Ride Modesto! By Vicki Morales Mid Valley Monthly is the official monthly newsletter of Circulation is approximately 360 copies per issue. In order to get things going for the 2016 Rendezvous, we are going to push the Dutch oven gatherings! Of course, we have the New Year’s Day Ride/Potluck/Dutch Oven Gathering at Red Hills, January 1. Plan to eat at 1 p.m. Then, January 9, we will be at Carl Perry’s place at 22682 Williams in Hilmar. Plan to arrive by noon and eat at 2 p.m. January 30 we will be at Tina MacLauchlan’s , at 237 Church Hill Rd, San Andreas. Tina said GPS devices get it wrong, so for precise directions, email Tina at rownrox@aol.com. February 6 we will be at Mary Beth Baglione’s and February 20 at Jim Westmoreland’s. March 5 we will be at Joan Lewis’s and then the Rendezvous, March 18 to 20. All of this is in order to get some practice in with the Dutch ovens and to try new recipes. Hopefully, it will lead to more entries in the Dutch Oven Cook-Off competition at Rendezvous. We need at least five entries per category (entries consist of one to four people) and there are two categories – amateur and pro. Check the BCHC website for entry fees and forms. Questions?

Mid Valley Unit Website: www.bchcmidvalley.org Webmaster - Ted Pack, 209-883-4192 tedpack@fire2wire.com I want to give Debra Mason a big thank you for pushing the trail clearing at Gateway Park. Modesto has always had golf courses. Now it has quite a few bike lanes. And, finally, Modesto has some place for horsemen to ride. We can ride from Beard Brook Park (that is where Gateway Park starts) all the way to Carpenter Road. To get there, take 9th Street to B, turn east and take 10th Street to Morton Blvd. Park there, to the right, where Morton dead ends. There is room for at least four rigs. Ride toward Beard Brook Park and follow the trails along the river. You can ride for a couple of hours up and down and around, as the trail divides and comes back to where you started. There is a dirt road but the trails are so much nicer. The road is great for driving carts – just ask Marlene Fultz and John Marshall. You can meander a long ways. The main trail is wide enough for an ATV so that the game warden can quickly check on things, if needed. We need to ride these trails in order to get them more established. Otherwise, with these fabulous recent rains, the grasses will soon cover all of our hard work. If you want to park under the bridges, you might try the entry on the west side of the 7th Street Bridge. That gate is usually open. And, since it is always good to not just head straight back to the trailer, ride along the river all the way to Dry Creek and then back to the trailer. Remember, always ride with someone, no matter where you are! Reluctant to ride Gateway Park? Contact me at 209-577-1594 or vickimorales@sbcglobal.net and we’ll arrange riding together. I’ve ridden down there four or five times and worked there on the trail clearing project about the same number of times so I am very familiar with the area. PAGE 2 V OLUME 2 8, I SSUE 1 MID VALLEY MONTHLY Columbia’s All Equestrian Christmas Parade A big thank you to Tim Fraser and Quartz Mountain Stage for loaning the surrey and horses for Santa and Mrs. Claus and to Bob Anderson for driving them safely along the parade route. Riding along with Santa was Gary Neubert, president of the Columbia Chamber of Commerce. By Kathy Zumbrunn We all know that having a parade in the middle of winter has its problems, and this year had a few. Mother Nature decided to tease us with gorgeous weather all the way up to Saturday night, then threw in a big storm! Did that throw us into a tailspin? Of course not…we are Backcountry Horsemen! A little damp weather doesn’t stop us from doing what we planned. The rains held off until around 10 a.m., then they came down. Thankfully, it didn’t pour and the winds didn’t howl through the parade route. Although cold and wet, the contestants were troopers: smiling, waving and even going around the parade route twice, giving the undaunted spectators a good show! Although several entries dropped out due to the weather, 13 entries chose to participate. They were: JANUARY 2016 Dennis Serpa, Joan Lewis, Ric Tilbury, Dennise Davis, Dan and Logan Prine, Johnny Leal, Cathy and Doug Dollarhide, Ernie Warzyca, David and Jody Rumsey, Joe Pimentel, Darla Coelho, Claudia Parrish, Christine Kaplan, Lee Owning, Kayla Ogden, Corky Fellingham, Katherine Reeves, and John Marshall. (If I missed anyone, I apologize. I didn’t get around too much to get everyone’s photo!) So another year has passed and we pulled off yet another successful parade. I want to thank everyone who participated, helped, or just showed up to watch the parade.

I heard many comments about how wonderful it was that we went ahead with the parade in the inclement weather, and I was also told in person the same things. Everyone there enjoyed the event and was very appreciative of Mid Valley Unit for doing such a great job!

Eleven youth showed up, including two new members, to Saletta’s Lazy S Ranch in Oakdale. The day started with some warm-up exercises and horseback games. (muleback, too!) Valerie Perry and I helped the riders with some basic horsemanship skills as we have done in the past. Doug Dollarhide and Rudy Dezzani set up the iron mule and Doug’s real mule, Abby, for packing practice. Parents, grandparents and friends of the youth seemed to game, the “Water and Cup” contest. Mounted riders were handed a little cup full of water and then had to walk, jog and trot around the arena for a little while. We then gathered everyone back to the center and had them compare the water left in their cups. Most of them had lost nearly all of their water! By an overwhelming request, the youth then practiced their loping skills. One at a time, they each had an opportunity to lope circles with their mounts - some mounts were willing and able, others not so much. This is an area we will definitely spend some more time on in the future. enjoy themselves, sitting and watching their kids riding and having fun. After some warm-up exercises, including “Follow the Leader,” we played “Egg and Spoon Race.” We only had to get to the trot and most of the riders lost their eggs! After that, we did the “TP Race,” where riders partnered up and each had to hold the end of a short stretch of toilet paper. We rode around the arena until the TP ripped or someone dropped their end! Some of the horses weren’t real fond of that white, flowing paper getting too close, so we had a little “desensitizing” to do before we got the game underway. After that, we tied up and gathered around the iron mule. Doug and Rudy helped with the Box Hitch, and some of the kids are just about ready for the competition at the BCHC Rendezvous! David Rumsey had volunteered to fix lunch, so after some practice on the iron mule, we were treated to a fantastic lunch of hot dogs, chips, cookies and drinks from David. After that nice lunch break, we headed back for a little more packing practice. Some of the parents got involved as well, and so we might just have us some new packers ready to go by next summer! Soon we headed back to the arena, and we played one more I would like to send a BIG thank you to the Saletta’s for donating the use of their beautiful facility for this youth activity. We hope to have some future events there as well. Another BIG thank you goes to David Rumsey for volunteering to fix lunch for all of the participants and spectators. Thank you also to Claudia Parrish for coming out and handling the paperwork for new members who joined that day, and I believe there was a boarder who was considering joining MV BCHC as well. Thank you to Doug Dollarhide and Rudy Dezzani for setting up the iron mule, as well as having the live mule there for packing practice. That was enjoyed by just about everyone in attendance! Thank you to the parents, grandparents and family friends who hauled these kids and their stock to the event. And lastly, thank you to the great kids who showed up: Nathan Rummerfield, Kaitlyn, Makayla and Kaci Rumsey, Sarah VanHoogmoed, Anya Lewis, Jordan Pestana, Barbara Baglione, Sidney Saunders, and Janet and Ivan Gomez (new members!) Valerie and I enjoyed working with all of you! We don’t have a date set for our next event, but we are looking at getting together at the Dollarhides’ place in Escalon, maybe in February, for packing practice. We would like to see some of our youth get involved with the various packing contests at the Rendezvous. I will send an email out to all of the youth who are on my list. If you haven’t received any of those emails from me, please send me an email at klopes@muhsd.org so I can add you to my list.
