‘City kid’ readyto competeStory and photos by Pierrette J. Shields

Alex Martinez, 13, brushes Oinkers on June 24 at theMountain States Children's Home while preparing forher first 4-H competition at the Boulder County Fair.She is a student at Mead Middle School and will beginthe eighth grade in the fall.

LONGMONT — Alex Mar-tinez’s early efforts at caring forOinkers left her under hoof andsmarting from the pig’s exerteddominance.

“At first it was very scary,”Martinez said. “I was scared andmy pig could sense that, so sheattacked me.”

However, the 13-year-old, self-described “city kid” decided shewasn’t going to stay down on thefarm, and has in the past sixmonths risen to become a stand-out hand at the Mountain StatesShow Club farm north of Long-mont.

Oinkers, a 195-pound Durocpig, now takes her orders fromMartinez in the form of loudclaps to the pig’s rump and sides

or leads from a stick.Martinez also cares for Pre-

cious, a 124-pound Hampshire-cross pig, which she describes astypically calmer than her larger,pink, ornery charge.

Martinez has lived for a year atMountain States Children’sHome, which is home to 14teenagers who cannot live withtheir families for a variety of rea-sons. Before moving to the homeoutside of Longmont, she hadlived only in Denver and had noexperience raising animals.While initially put off by thepigs, she opted to work on rais-ing Oinkers and Precious andfound she loved the animals. Sheis excited to show them this year

the Boulder County Fair in her first 4-Hcompetition.

“I would like to win first place inshowmanship,” she said, acknowledgingthat her sights are set pretty high.

Long term, the teen wants to become achild-protection officer. She has ninebrothers and six sisters and cared forsome of her siblings after her motherdied. She moved to Mountain States afterliving with her grandmother.

Until moving to the children’s home,her view of the mountains was obstruct-ed by the city and she could rarely seethe stars in the nighttime sky because ofthe city’s lights. She said she has grap-pled with behavioral problems, whichare hard to imagine given her bright dis-position and easy smile.

At the Boulder County Fair, Martinezwill compete with other kids who grewup on farms and competed in 4-H com-petitions as long as they can remember.

“It’s real competitive, real competi-tive,” said Roy Rush, farm manager atMountain States Children’s Home.

She will compete in showmanship,market hogs and breeding. Rush said hehas high hopes for Martinez and two

other Mountain States competitors in thepig competition this year. She knowsthat the pigs may be bought for slaughterand is steeling herself for the possibility.It might also be bought and donatedback to the children’s home.

“I want these kids to win. I want themto accomplish something,” Rush said.

He added that Martinez has come along way from refusing to touch a pig

and squealing herself at the idea of get-ting dirty.

“She’ll get it done,” he said, glancingover at Martinez, wearing her Dickieoveralls and standing casually next toOinkers, who was just as casually defe-cating in the pen.

“Yes, sir,” Martinez said.“I’ve got faith in her,” Rush said.“Thank you,” she replied.

AlexMartinez,originallyof Denver,describesherself as a“city kid,”but hascome tolove livingandworking inthecountr y.

Mayhemto delight

demolitionderby fans

GREELEY — Spare toolsand car parts littered JacobGomez’s garage floor. In themiddle of it all laid the re-moved subframe for his 1974Dodge Monaco.

Gomez, a member of theColorado Demolition DerbyRacing Association and nick-named the “Hispanic CausingPanic,” dropped to one kneeand lowered his weldingmask. A shower of sparks fellonto his pant leg as he rein-forced the frame’s metalseams.

The Monaco ran in one de-molition derby in May, theWyoming State Border Warsin Cheyenne. Its next test iscoming up Saturday, Aug. 1,at the Boulder County Fair,and Gomez must repair thebattered car quickly to have it

ready in time.“When you’re a derby guy,

you’re a welder, a fabricator, amechanic, an electrician ...you learn all kinds of things,because nobody is going to doit for you,” he said.

This year’s derby in Long-mont begins at 6:30 p.m.General admission is $15,while kids and seniors get infor $5.

Derby superintendent Mar-lin Godfrey said people comeout to demolition derbies be-cause they want to see some-thing out of the everydaynorm.

“People like mayhem,”Godfrey said. “What bringspeople out to watch a tornadoor fire? It’s the same effecth e re . ”

Godfrey said the ideal derby driver is amotorhead who likes working on cars,trashing cars, then fixing them again.

“By my estimation, it takes three ener-getic people eight hours each to get a carre a d y, ” he said. “They strip down every-thing except for the metal frame andbody, and everything else that’s neces-sary to make it drive.”

Of course, there are cash prizes for thewinners as well.

Outside the garage, Gomez’s burnt-or-ange Monaco rested on a bed of gravelnext to the driveway. It sported plenty ofbattle scars, dents and swapped paint.

Despite being largely crunched andshredded, it was easy to see the whitenumber 30 painted prominently on eachside of the car. Gomez said this helpshim remember the April 30 birthday ofhis wife, Amy.

To get inside the car, Gomez mustclimb on the edge of the exposed hoodand duck in where the windshield usedto be. Both doors have already been rein-forced with steel panels and bars as a

safety measure.All glass must be removed from a der-

by car, along with everything flammable.Drivers are allowed only one 6-gallontank of gas.

There is only one seat inside the car, aspassengers are not allowed to ride alongin derby. Sitting behind the wheel,Gomez pointed out the messages his 10-year-old daughter, Merceydes, scribbledin marker across on the bare metal rods.

“You can win!” one reads.“I love my dad!” reads another.“It’s a family affair,” Gomez said. “Yo u

have to be able to manage your time withyour vehicle and your family.”

Before each race, Gomez, said he praysto God to keep him safe and let him

drive smart. Each time he wins, he do-nates 10 percent of the prize money tothe New Hope Christian Fellowship inG re e l e y.

Gomez said he received as much as$5,000 in 2006 from derby winnings.

“That shows that people acknowledgeme being there,” he said.

“People in the top 10 are not chumps,”he said. “You increase your chances ofhanging up there if you put in the labor.”

Above all, Gomez said he hopes theaudience sees a good show.

“The crowd wants to see metal bend-ing. They want to see radiators blowingup, tires popping, frames crunching up,”he said. “We want the crowd to win.”

Ranch sorters use animalpsychology in competition

LONGMONT — No university offers acourse in cow psychology.

But successful riders at the BoulderCounty Fair’s ranch sorting event under-stand herd behavior, according to Tam-my Daniels and her daughter, Tessa Tre-vithick.

The Longmont mother and daughteroften compete at the same events and ex-plained that practice helps them “re a d ”cattle — that is, it helps them better pre-dict cattle moves to herd the numberedanimals from one pen to another in or-d e r.

For instance, the duo knows cattle liketo be with their buddies, that they resistdirection if chased and respond better toa horse at their heads versus their hindends.

In this event, two riders take turnsmoving as many of the 10 numbered cat-tle as possible in chronological orderfrom one pen into another pen in 60 sec-onds.

The other rider, meanwhile, guards thegateless opening between the pens tomake sure that cattle do not enter thesecond pen before they are supposed toand that cattle collected there do not es-cape back into the original pen.

Participants and fans call cows tryingto get through the collection pen gate“trash cows,” Trevithick, 14, said.

“People on the sidelines will some-times help you out. They’ll yell, ‘Tr a s h !Yo u ’ve got trash!’ or ‘Comin’ back!’ if thesorted ones try to come back out,” sheexplained.

The so-called blank cow — an un-numbered 11th cow in the herd — addsyet another challenge, Daniels, 47, said.

“He’s not going to want to be all aloneaway from his buddies with these horseschasing around,” she said.

So, the blank gets underfoot, so tospeak, during the sorting process.

City folks unfamiliar with the wily dy-namics of sorting cattle might appreciate

it better by picturing a pool table break.Once the rider enters the herd to sort

the first cow from the 11 bunched up,they scatter and run helter-skelter.

And like a savvy pool player, the ridersorting needs to know just how to tilt thehorse toward the cow to angle the cowthrough the corral opening.

The event ranks the ability of ridersand their mounts on a nine-point scalewith one indicating beginner status andnine indicating professional status, saidDave Wolfe, president of Wellington-based Colorado branch of Ranch SortingNational Championships.

The sport’s appeal covers a range, too,he said.

“We ’ll have 6- and 7-year-old kids tograndparents in it at the fair,” Wo l f eadded.

He expects 200 teams to enter theBoulder County Fair event, which has anestimated $2,000 pot.

Trevithick, her mother, and her stepfa-ther, Butch Daniels, 51, all plan to com-pete as beginners.

Trevithick might have an edge on herelders, but not because she belongs tothe Boulder County Judging Team andthe Rinn Valley Livestock 4-H Club.

It is because every time she ridesLicorice, her black, 17-year-old quarterhorse, she needs to use animal psycholo-gy to catch the mare.

The teenager shoves the halter underher shirt so the horse won’t notice it.Then, with a laugh she saunters into thep a s t u re .

“OK. This is going to look weird,” Tre -vithick said. “But it works.”

Fi d d l e r sserious about

precisionin contest

LONGMONT — Fiddleplaying can provide joyous,foot-tapping music.

When it’s part of a contest,however, it also presents ahigh level of precision.

The Colorado Old TimeFiddlers Association sanctionscontests, including the FiddleChampionships at the Nation-al Western Stock Show inDenver. Judges at its eventsfocus on difficulty, musicalexpression, tone, intonationand rhythm.

“Intonation and rhythm arethe main things,” said DeniceCarter, the association’s presi-dent.

Those qualities will be onexhibit during a COTFA con-test Aug. 1 at the 2009 Boul-der County Fair. It’s a newevent for the fair, which start-ed in 1869.

“We thought it really tied inwith our 140th celebration,”said Linda Henry, coordinatorof the fair. “It’s just an old tra-

dition that used to occur atfairs long ago.”

Fair organizers approachedCOTFA after hearing aboutthe association’s stock showcontest.

“We thought it would begreat for our fair,” Henry said.

She describes fiddle musicas “a national art form that’sunique to the United States.”

“My whole deal is aboutperpetuating fiddle music,”Carter said.

While the fiddle, especiallyin Boulder County, is often as-sociated with bluegrass, COT-FA contestants perform in themore demanding Texas, orcontest, style.

The Boulder County Faircontest will include two chil-d re n ’s divisions and one opendivision.

Contestants will be asked toperform one hoedown, onewaltz and one tune of choice.Winners will receive cashprizes.

Western prideLONGMONT — Rodeo queens aren’t

just about big hair.

But that’s certainly part of it, accordingto Meghan Rickel, queen of this year’sBoulder County Fair.

“You have to do your hair a couple

hundred times to get it right,” said the1 9 - y e a r- o l d .

It’s quite a process. First, Rickel tiesher hair in a high ponytail and wraps thetresses in hot rollers.

Then comes the monsoon of hairspray.

Rickel’s personal rule is one can per ap-pearance.

After that, she carefully removes thescrunchie, affixes a pristine cowboy hatand starts fluffing.

Continued from 12“You want your hair to be

as big as the brim of yourhat,” Rickel explained whileweaving her hands throughher hair and puffing out theblonde locks. “When you’rethinking queen hair, you wantto be like Dolly Parton.”

But hair aside, queens needto exude confidence, Rickelsaid. You have to be able towalk into an arena of rodeofans and connect with everyperson in the stands, she said.

The primary responsibilityof the queen and her lady-in-waiting, Katie Richardson, isto promote the Boulder Coun-ty Fair.

But for Rickel, it’s also a po-sition of pride.

“When you come out to arodeo, you come back to theWestern way of life,” she said.

Rickel, who grew up in ur-ban Boulder, enrolled inhorseback riding lessonswhen she was 9 years old.

But her fascination withrodeo queens goes back evenf u rt h e r.

“I saw the queen at theBoulder County Fair when Iwas 5 or 6 years old,” Rickelsaid. “I just remember awhole bunch of glitter andhairspray and those beautifulhorses.”

Now a sophomore at Col-orado State University in FortCollins, Rickel is majoring inagricultural business and mar-keting and hopes to find apublic relations job at an agri-cultural company after gradu-ating.

Richardson, who will be asenior at Erie High Schoolthis fall, will take over as

Boulder County Fair queennext year. Currently the lady-in-waiting, she assists Rickelin advertising the fair andspreading rodeo values.

“We want to preserve ourWestern heritage, and that’s adying breed,” said Richard-son, 17. “This isn’t our hobby,it’s our livelihood.”

R i c h a rd s o n ’s connectionwith horses started at 2months old when her fatherintroduced her to the horseson the family’s Erie ranch.

And although she hasn’t fi-nalized any plans yet,Richardson said she wants tostudy agricultural businessand find work in a field whereshe can have constant contactwith her favorite animals.

“I seriously could not live aday without horses,” she said.

Rickel and Richardson haveworked together since lastfall. The duo has traveled toevents across the state to pro-mote the fair. They also orga-nized a royalty fashion showand visited The Children’sHospital in Aurora.

At the fair, Rickel andRichardson will compete inseveral horse shows and hostclinics for young riders.

And although the stress ofqueendom can get to hersometimes, Rickel said sheloves the gig. Not to mentionthe glitz and glamour that canonly be associated with rodeoro y a l t y.

“I really don’t mind gettingfour hours of sleep to be ableto do this,” Rickel said. “Myhair doesn’t like it, but that’s adifferent story.”

“When you’re thinkingqueen hair, you want to belike Dolly Parton.”

LONGMONT — MikeCook said his family memberswere surprised when they gota call informing them theywere the 2009 Boulder Coun-ty Fair Family of the Year.

But perhaps they shouldn’thave been, given how activethey are in 4-H and the fair.

Mike Cook’s wife, Marilyn,was in 4-H growing up in Ar-vada, and so was Mike, whogrew up in the Black Forestarea of El Paso County.

The two have stayed activein the organization all theseyears and have instilled theirlove of 4-H in their daughters,Molly and Katherine, both ofwhom have been part of 4-Hfor 11 years.

“Most of the activities that

Cooks named 2009 Family of the Year

Mike and Marilyn Cook, along with daughters Molly and Kate are the Boulder County Fair's Family ofthe Year. The couple has lived in Berthoud for 21 years. Molly Cook, 19, will be a sophomore at theUniversity of Wyoming this fall, and Kate, 16, will be a junior at Berthoud High School. (JoshuaB u c k / Ti m e s - C a l l )

we do involve the kids,” MikeCook said. “4-H is somethingwe do with the kids.”

Mike Cook is a district en-gineer with the Little Thomp-son Water District by trade,and Marilyn Cook takes careof the household full time, al-though she, too, is an engi-neer and has a master’s in fi-nance.

The couple has lived inBerthoud for 21 years. MollyCook, 19, will be a sopho-more at the University ofWyoming this fall, andKatherine (Kate), 16, will be ajunior at Berthoud HighSchool.

Detailing the family’s activi-ties in 4-H would take muchmore space than is allowedh e re .

“Free time? What’s that?”Marilyn Cook quipped.

Mike Cook is president ofthe Colorado 4-H Founda-tion. Marilyn Cook is active inthe Larimer County Fair and,at the Boulder County Fair, isserving as the 4-H heritagearts superintendent. Bothdaughters have won numer-ous championships at thestate fair level in archery andshooting, and both are activeon the county dance team.

This year, Mike Cook isserving as the Boulder CountyFair’s 4-H foods superinten-dent, meaning he’s in chargeof organizing all the food en-tries.

Something he introducedthis year is a 4-H product sale,

during which members of thepublic — just as they can withprize-winning livestock —can bid on the winning loaf ofbread, the top decorated cakeand the best plate of cookies,among other food items.

“Every year at the countyfair there’s a market livestocksale,” Mike Cook said. “Ithought, ‘You know, we needto set up an opportunity forthose kids to participate in ascholarship activity likethat.’ ”

“A lot of people don’t real-ize that 4-H is about morethan livestock,” Marilyn Cookadded.

The 4-H product sale willbegin at 11 a.m. Saturday,Aug. 8.

Kate said her favorite thingsabout the county fair are thehorses and pigs, while MollyCook said she likes the shoot-ing sports and the pigs best.

“Or swine, as they call it,”Molly Cook said.

The Cooks are the 63rdBoulder County Fair Familyof the Year. They know they’llbe riding on a special floatduring the parade but aren’tsure what else will be requiredof them.

But it doesn’t matter, MikeCook said; whatever it is,they’ll be happy to help out.They’ll be at the fair justabout all day, every day any-w a y.

“Boulder County 4-H, it’slike family,” Mike Cook said.

The Guilt-FREE Dental Offi ce!Studies have shown that the #1 reason people put off their dental care has nothing to do with fear or pain, but has to do with the guilt of putting off the dentist. That people keep putting it off, because they are afraid to get lectured by the doctor and staff.

NO GUILT!That’s right... no matter how long you’ve been avoiding coming to the Dentist or putting off care... we promise not to lecture you or make you feel guilty. We want you to know that we are happy that you are coming back!
