Low river expected for raceBy Al CampThe Chronicle

OMAK – There should notbe a problem with highOkanogan River water levels forthe 79th World-Famous SuicideRace, run after eachperformance of the OmakStampede rodeo on Aug. 7-10.

That’s both by the nature ofthis year’s schedule and fromwater predictions.

The schedule, which calledfor practices that includeveterinary, swim and hillchecks, started July 25, a weeklater than normal.

The late start follows the lastcouple years when practicesstarted a week early, only to bestymied by a river too high forthe horses to swim safely. Thatcaused an additional week ofpractice to get horses andjockeys qualified.

Mark Milner, who organizesthe Warrior Stampede obstaclerace a week after the rodeo, said

river levels are expected to belower than normal this year.

This comes on the heels ofhotter-than-normal days in July See Race 8

that melted snow in themountains faster than usual. ByAugust, the stream should bemuch lower.

This year’s races will includea total purse of more than$20,000.

The favorite to claim themoney would be five-timechampion Taz, who easilyguided jockey Loren Marchandto the coveted belt and saddlelast year. The journey proved soeasy that the 12-year-old horsesewed up the crown with aninsurmountable lead after thefirst three races.

That allowed Marchand toguide the famed horse, ownedby Jim Phillips of Coulee Dam,to a safe traversing of the coursethat includes a steepembankment and swim acrossthe river on Sunday afternoon.The horse came in last, butsecure with the championship.

“We had it sewed up,” LorenMarchand said after the race.“We’re saving him. He’s gotsome more years in him.”

You could call it “One for theThumb” for Taz, now 13, fortaking five overall titles. He’swon 17 times out of 20 racesand been second twice.

“It’s amazing,” Marchandsaid of duo’s fifth win. “I neverwould have thought I would winthis many times.”

“We knew he’d probably begood, but he just turned outawesome,” Phillips said lastyear, praising the training ofGeorge Marchand.

“I would like to thank myuncle George (Marchand) for allthe time he puts in the horsetraining,” Loren Marchand said.

“And I would like to thank Jim(Phillips) for letting me ridehim. Taz is one in a million.”

Last year’s races, whichincluded the disqualification ofCommando and SKARTAR,were the first competed by thecurrent slate of Owners andJockeys Association leaders.The officers were installed inFebruary 2013, after theresignation of the past officersin 2012.

An appeal of Sunday’s startled to a review of starting linevideo. The association ruledSKARTAR (jockey Ryan Cateand owned by Leroy Cate)started too soon and wasdisqualified.

No one disputed the rulingannounced by association

president Aaron Cardenfollowing Sunday’s race.

As association officers,especially Carden, stressed lastspring, if an appeal led to thediscovery of other violations,those horses would bedisqualified, too.

That led to Commando,owned by Lucille Pakootas, alsobeing disqualified.

The horse got no advantagefor being sideways (as viewedon jockey Abe Grunlose’shelmet video camera) at thestart, but a rear hoof allegedlywas seen in the review of thestarting line video as being overthe starting line, a violation ofrules.

Grunlose and Commandocame from the back of the pack

to first place in a photo finishwith Progress, ridden by RockyTimentwa. Progress waselevated to first followingCommando’s disqualification.

An appeals process wrappedup this month in OkanoganCounty Superior Court with noaction being taken for eitherside.

Last year’s races started with19 qualified horses Thursday.By Sunday, 13 horses competed.

Of the field, 12 finished inthe money.

This year’s practicecontinues 6-9 p.m. Aug. 1. and6-10 p.m. Aug. 2.

OMAK – Artwork from localand out-of-town artists will befeatured during the OmakWestern and Native Art ShowAug. 7-10 at the CourtyardDowntown, 28 N. Main St.

The show will be open from10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursdaythrough Saturday, and onSunday it will be open from 9am to 2 p.m.

“Even though this art showis small, it has some superiorartists from the Northwest,”show director and artist TinaReeve Tharp of Brewster said.“This is as good as or betterthan any other shows.”

This year’s show features 16artists with talents ranging fromwood sculpting to oil paintingand printmaking.

A reception will be at 2 p.m.Saturday, followed by a liveauction at 3 p.m. withauctioneer and artist George L.Traicheff taking the bids.

Five awards will be given:Best of show, best Western art,best Native American art, bestlocal heritage, the poster awardand people’s choice.

The poster award winner’sartwork will be featured on nextyear’s show poster.

Last year Georgia OrrTongel’s “Mourning Dove” won.

It is a 4- by 5-foot oilpainting depicting MourningDove surrounded by MosesMountain on the left and OmakMountain on the right.

Tongel, 73, said she’s alwayswanted to paint MourningDove, but until recently neverhad the courage.

“I finally said I’ve got to do itbefore I go completely blind andcan’t hold a brush anymore,”she said.

Mourning Dove, ChristineQuintasket (1888-1936), wrotethree books and was the firstNative American woman topublish a novel. In 1935, shealso became the first womanelected to the Colville BusinessCouncil.

“She was a first in manyways, to be published and to beelected into a men’s world,”Tongel said.

Tongel said she wassurprised when she found out“Mourning Dove” was chosen tobe featured on the poster, sinceshe said it’s not the kind of artusually seen on a poster.

She has participated in theOmak Western and Native ArtShow since 1997, and has wonmultiple awards for her pieces.

“I started in elementaryschool and won poster contests.I’ve only ever been an artist,”she said.

Tongel graduated fromOkanogan High School, andstudied at several differentcolleges and universities all overthe western U.S. beforespending a year studying art inFlorence, Italy.

After earning her degree inart, Tongel worked in New YorkCity, where she met her

OMAK – Years ago, TiffanyMannikko’s guardian, TammyTaylor, put Mannikko in theWinthrop 49er Days parade as afuture rodeo queen.

Now, at age 18, Mannikko isMiss Omak Stampede.

She was the OkanoganCounty Junior Rodeo princessat age 10, and has been ridinghorses all her life.

Her current horse is namedPepsi. She barrel races with 11-year-old Pepsi in Boots andSaddles Barrel Racing Clubevents and in the Wallis Arenabuckle series.

“I’ve experienced a lot,”Mannikko said, outlining someof the highlights of herStampede travels so far. She’smet Miss Rodeo Australia,attended the National FinalsRodeo, and rained on at theNewport Rodeo.

“You definitely have tocowgirl up in the mud,” shesaid, laughing at the experience.

Mannikko said her favoriteevent so far was the KeremeosRodeo in British Columbia.

“I got to carry the Americanflag,” she said.

Mannikko said she initiallypursued being Miss OmakStampede because somebodytold her it would be a goodopportunity, and she agrees thatit has been just that.

“It’s made me an outgoingperson and it’s taught me howto speak in front of people,” shesaid. “It’s taught me how to beorganized.”

Stampede royalty adviserMillie Gann said Mannikko hasbecome very poised andconfident.

“She’s been a very graciousrepresentative to theStampede and the Omakcommunity,” Gann said. “She

meets the public very, verywell.”

Mannikko graduated fromhigh school this year, and plansto enroll at Wenatchee ValleyCollege next fall.

“I have big plans for thefuture,” she said. “I want to

eventually join the military andbecome a lawyer,” she said. “Iknow that I can do somethingextravagant.”

Mannikko said sheappreciates royalty sponsorswho make it possible for her totravel.
