FALL is here! The classic past time of upland bird hunting is upon us as we anticipate the upcoming pinnacle event of our organization – the National Dog of the Year trial! By the time you read this a new National Champion will have emerged from the almost 200 dog fray of feathers, fur, friendship, and fun. If you were there, thank you and congratulations on your achievements in our game. If you missed this year’s DOY, do consider making it a planned trip in 2018. Amo, Indiana is “on the way” to western hunting sites for our easterly trialers – and it can be the final destination for NSTRA’s western members as they traipse across miles of great hunting en route to middle America.

NSTRA Operating System UpdateIt has been an exciting few months as Kodello and the national office

staff have worked and re-worked a multitude of reports and financial system functions. Membership enrollment, renewal, and processing is now complete and able to be engaged on the NSTRA website. Years and years of database neglect requires a tremendous amount of review, editing, re-reviewing, and further clean-up of dog records, member names and contact information, as well as the organization’s historical documents.

NSTRA Trust, Inc. and the Scholarship Program for NSTRA members

The NSTRA Trust is up and running! This year’s scholarship applications were amazing! This is one of the “win-wins” in NSTRA – encouraging and supporting education and training for our youngest members! A scholarship for a worthy student is a gift that often brings that individual back into the organization for life. Please consider donating to the trust as you close out 2017 and contribute to charitable organizations.

Region Updates, Articles and Pictures for the MagazineThe office staff and national officers cannot get to all of your

wonderful events and locations – so please send information about what’s happening in your region, with your local club, and with you & your dogs – YOU ARE NSTRA and everyone likes reading about themselves and their friends. But, we cannot share that good stuff if we do not have it to print! Photographs may be sent electronically and people/places should be clearly identified. Articles are welcomed electronically; preferably in an editable format.

Changes in PlainfieldAs you all know, NSTRA lost a wonderful member of our office staff

in June when Emily Herwehe set off on her new career – TEACHING! Congrats to Emily in completing her advanced education and moving to work in her chosen field. We miss her talents, organization, and warm voice at the other end of the phone or email. Recently, the National Officers hired Nina Harmon – a long time NSTRA member from the KY region to assist Julia in a part time capacity. WHAT A WELCOME ADDITION to the team!

MICHIGAN REGION

The National Shoot To Retrieve Association (NSTRA) was founded by a group of dedicated bird hunters looking for a way to extend the fun they enjoyed with their bird dogs after their season

ended. Field Trials, under hunting conditions, were the answer. Field Trials provide an extended the season, a sportsmanlike environment and competition with others who enjoy bird dogs.

Send all Regional Trial information, highlights and photos to NSTRA office to be placed in the next publication.

Ricky/Dixie - Introduction to NSTRA

Ricky Hollister, 10 year old son of Rich Hollister (professional grouse trial handler and trainer), first came in contact with Dixie when I sent her to Dun Roven Kennels as a 12 month old pup to go through a three-week puppy program. Rich thought she had enough ability to enter the grouse trials puppy division. The first trial was in October 2016. Since it was an amateur trial, Rich couldn’t run her. His son Ricky ran her and she won third place as a 7 month old running against older dogs and all adult handlers. Ricky went on to continue handling her and had two first place wins, one second place win and three third place wins. She earned some prestigious awards such as winner of the Michigan Grouse Dog Puppy Classic, 2016-2017 Great Lakes Region Puppy of the Year, Runner-up Beaverton Grouse Dog Club Puppy Classic, Winner of the Wolverine Field Trial Open Walking Dog Puppy, First place Michigan Walking Dog of the Year Puppy, and Runner up 2017 Michigan Cover Dog of the Year Puppy. Little Ricky handled her in all of her trials.

I asked Rich if Ricky could run in some NSTRA trials during the off season for the grouse trials. Ricky had never seen a NSTRA trial and Dixie had never had any NSTRA trial training. Ricky did an outstanding job keeping her in the field and not in the woods (most of the time). He had 2 third place finishes. Not bad for a 10 year-old handler and a 14 month old pup! Congratulations to a future NSTRA handler.

Any youngster can enjoy their dog in the NSTRA program. Kudos to Rich and Jennifer Hollister for involving the whole family in our sport.

Carroll Evans, 81, of Stuttgart, Arkansas passed away September 29, 2017, following a courageous battle with cancer. Survivors are his wife Rosa Mae Evans; daughters, Pam Maddox (Mickey) and Caroline Raines (Mark); and two grandchildren, Jessica Maddox and Ryan Raines.

When asked about Carroll Evans, the reply is almost always the same, “He was a good Christian man”. To some that may seem a short testament for a man who lived eighty-one years. After all, Carroll lived in a small Arkansas town and on the surface lived out his years in a fairly routine manner. However, upon further investigation, a seemingly mundane life suddenly becomes extraordinary. First and foremost, he was a Christian, setting a shining example for his family, friends, and fellow field trialers. Being a husband, father, and grandfather was not just a title for him, but was a treasured lifestyle. He lived that lifestyle with the purpose of passing his values to the next generation. This is evident when visiting with his two fine daughters and cherished grandchildren. To his fellow field trialers he was not long winded in giving opinions. But,

when he talked everyone listened, as his opinions were highly respected. Carroll was a peace-maker, never divisive, and had no enemies. To be loyal to your God and family, live a life of high values, and be a trusted friend to all speaks loudly of an extraordinary life. One of which many others strive for but fall short. A life of meaning and purpose.

A member of the Arkansas/Louisiana Region since its inception in 1984 and a founding member of the Razorback Field Trial Club, Carroll was a regular at region and national trials. His best dogs were 2x Champion Cat Corner Mac and 1x Champion Firefield Pete who won the Arkansas/Louisiana Region Elimination

Championship in 1994. Men like Carroll can be remembered but never replaced. Let us

all strive to make our sport and world better as a lasting memorial to a simple but extraordinary Christian gentleman. May all of us be reunited in an eternity of everlasting joy and peace with our dear friend. n

2017 UKC Championship trialThe 2017 UKC/NSTRA Championship Field Trial was held from May 31 thru June 3, 2017 at the Rock Creek Birddog Club at Waverly, Nebraska. Having had an abundance of rain, the fields were tall with plenty of cover, making the bird handler’s job a walk in the park. Co-Chairman, Todd Hendrix, had made sure all was organized and ready for the event. On Wednesday morning, Trial Chairman, John Davis, met with all trial officials to explain boundaries and safety zones. Judges were Ron Huels, Ron Becker, Donny Parker, and newcomer to the National Judging Program, Chris Ritter. Handling birds at his first national trial was Scott Townsend. Also, new on the scene was Nina Harmon serving as trial coordinator, and Bob Incontro, field marshal, both doing an exceptional job. Also marshalling was Dorothy Jaspering, who is “old hat” on the National scene and as always did a superb job. These officials are chosen with great care; people who are serious about their duties, fair and considerate to all. The weather was exceptionally warm for early June, however, that did not deter these officials from doing their best. Wednesday’s running would be for the top 16 slots which would advance to Friday’s qualification runs. The “two Rons” judged A field with Dorothy as marshal. Scores, Top 16, placements and stats follow:

The Thursday evening meal was a special treat with steaks prepared by Chef “Shaun Rydl”. Shaun practices his grilling skills religiously and seeing pictures on Facebook, there’s no doubt his meals are superb. Preparing side dishes were Natalie Hendrix, Natalie Cooley and Kerrie Murphy. The steaks were grilled to perfection and after the meal Wednesday and Thursday trophies were presented along with a Calcutta held for Saturday’s Final Four. Part of the Calcutta money would go to the winner’s with a portion to the scholarship fund. Lance Maclennan served as auctioneer for the event and did a great job in procuring top prices for the dogs.

It’s fairly noticeable at this point in the trial, that those dogs advancing have been very consistent throughout the entire trial. Upon reaching the Top 16, thereafter, advancement depends as much upon quality as quantity. Occasionally, a quality 3-3-B will outscore 4-4 . Dogs often advance due to earning a backing score. Many factors are involved; not only scoring, but weather, scenting conditions and field cover. Upon completion of each round, a short break was taken and due to the length of this trial, the next round was called to the line.

Eight braces for each field had been reduced to 4 which follow:

The stage was set for the final hour championship round. Although criteria calls for another ½ hour brace to determine 2nd and 3rd runner-up, due to the heat and time of day, Bob Power/Money gracefully took the 3rd runner-up placement and Lance Maclennan/Chad was granted 2nd runner-up. Each handler is guaranteed an hour before the final brace, and with the heat, the hour was a welcome relief. Judges Donny and Chris would judge the championship; having cooled off during the hour they made ready for the final calling of Todd Craven with Louie and Mike Rost with Jade to the line at approximately 6 p.m.

As previously mentioned, Louie and Jade had fairly consistent runs to get to this point. There was nothing less to be expected when these two began the brace. It was “tit for tat” continuously throughout the final hour and at the end of the brace, we found Louie scoring on 8 finds, 8 retrieves and a back totaling 1457 points with Jade scoring on 6 finds, and 6 retrieves scoring 1129.9 points. Louie scores were finds: 85,82,80,78,82,84,83,81; retrieves: 72,70,81,A,A,A,A,A; 63.5 obedience, 78.5 ground coverage and 60 back. Jade scores on finds: 84,79,82,83,86,83; retrieves: 82,83,82,86,84,A; obedience 58, and ground coverage 74.5. It was the end to a great trial; lots of good dog work, meeting new people, visiting with friends, and great food. We can’t ask for much more to a good week. Well- wishers met the handlers coming from the field and after a short “cool down”, all made their way to the clubhouse for the trophy presentation.

The first place dog won 450 # of Purina Pro Plan with 225# going to the 1st runner-up and 112# to 2nd and 3rd runner-up. The winner also won the 550 Pro Collar from Garmin with gift certificates to 1st thru 3rd runner-up; each received the winners jacket from Purina and also a jacket from UKC the National Sponsor of the UKC Performance Championship; gift certificates from Dogs Unlimited and Gun Dog Supply, shells from Kent Cartridge to the winner; and the infamous Top Four Belt Buckle and trophy from NSTRA. Each entrant also received bags of Pro Plan from Purina. Our deepest gratitude to all the sponsors of NSTRA. Our sponsors are part of the backbone of NSTRA and we salute each one for their undying sponsorship.

Third runner-up was Power’s Easy Money, owned and handled by Bob Power, Mo-Kan Region member. Money turned 6 years old on 6/1/17. His sire is Mohawk’s Tuff Stuff. The Mohawk line can be traced back to the first 11 time NSTRA Champion and 1985 TOC winner, Ace’s King. Boomer’s Kate is the dam which goes back to infamous Boomer’s X Rated “Johnny” also an 11 time NSTRA Champion. Money has 61 points of which 34 are first place points and is a 3x NSTRA Champion. Money’s NSTRA career started on 3/9/14 at Prescott, KC at that time earning a 1st place. In 2015 he also was 3rd runner-up at the Mo-Kan Regional Finals followed by a 2nd place at a qualification run at the 2015 DOY trial. In 2016, Money placed 4th runner-up at the TOC Championship. Bob has been a member of NSTRA since 1987 and has campaigned 6 NSTRA Champions along with a 1st runner-up win with The Kansas Outlaw at the 2006 Grand National Championship held in Firestone, Co. Bob acquired Money as a puppy and has also done his own training. They are truly a team and tough to reckon with. Congratulations Bob and Money for a great week.

Second runner-up was Lance’s I’ll Have Another “Chad” – EP/M, owned and handled by Lance Maclennan – Rocky Mountain Region member. Lance was whelped on 9/18/13 – 3 year old snappy, hard running pointer. Chad has a total of 9 lifetime points of which 4 are first place points. His first placement on 10/6/16 in Rush, Co -2nd; 10/3/16 – 2nd during the Prairie’s End Hunt Club; 10/3/1 – 3rd at a WTX trial; and placed 7th at the 2017 LST Regional Elimination. Chad is from Yellow Rose Tex and Yellow Rose Randi. Lance is new to the National Trial Top Four Arena, but it’s a cinch this won’t be his first. Chad has trialed 8 dogs in NSTRA with Valhalla’s Dirty Deeds placing

as a Regional Champion and has been a member of NSTRA since 2011. Congratulations to one of NSTRA’s up and coming young handlers and fine, young dogs. Great job.

The first runner-up was Moonshines Imperial Jade, EP/F, owned and handled by Mike Rost, MidWest Region member. Jade was whelped 4/3/14 sire being Moonshines Bayou Ponce and dam, Moonshines Prairie Daisy. She now has 11 points with 5 as first place points. Jade’s first place was on 10/23/16 at Osceola, IA followed by 2 more placements in Osceola and placed during a qualification run of the 2017 UKC Performance Trial. Mike is no stranger to the Top 4 winners in Championship Trials having won the 2012 DOY Championship with Moonshines Poison Ivy and the UKC Championship in 2015 with Moonshine’s Slate Creek Joe. Throughout Mike’s NSTRA career, he has campaigned 14 dogs and championed 10. It’s no doubt that Jade will become a worthy competitor in the NSTRA game from what we observed during the week of the Championship. Her scores follow:

Wed – 727 points, Friday – 646 points, Saturday 1st round – 1009, Saturday 2nd round – 644, Saturday 3rd round – 813, Saturday 4th round – 649 and the final – 1129.9 points. Consistency being the name of the game – Jade was definitely consistent. Best wishes and best of luck in the future to Mike and Jade.

THE WINNER: TC’s Get Lucky Lou, 4 year old GSP/M, is the newest NSTRA National Championship owned and handled by Todd Craven, Michigan Region member. Louie is from Crosswinds Micro Chip and M’Credible Pick of Destiny. He is a 3x NSTRA Champion with 78 points of which 45 are first place points. Louie’s first placement came on 11/8/14 at a Pigeon River Trial with his first championship coming on 8/8/15. Performance week was good to Louie with a 2nd during the pre-trial, 3rd at a qualification round and the “big” win of all – 2017 UKC Performance Trial National Champion. Todd has had 11 dogs in his NSTRA days with 8 becoming NSTRA Champions since he became a member of NSTRA in 1998. Hap’s Might Maggie Mae won the 2006 Purina Endurance Championship also winning 3 Michigan Regional Championships, 2001, 2002, and 2009. Crosswinds Mya also won the 2015 Michigan Region Finals with TC’s Country Diva placing 1st runner up at the 2015 Purina Endurance Championship. Louie placed 2nd during the Michigan Region Finals in 2017, which will undoubtedly qualify him for the 2017 DOG of YEAR Trial. Louie’s scores were Thursday – 832 points, Friday – 634.5 points, Saturday 1st round – 490 points, Saturday 2nd round – 547, Saturday 3rd round – 896 points, Saturday 4th round – 852 points, and the final championship round – 1457 points. So to a special guy and special dog, Congratulations from the entire NSTRA family.

HIGHLIGHTS: Many thanks to Todd Hendrix-Co-Chairman, his wife Natalie, and daughters Nicole and Paige, for their constant care if making sure everyone was fed and had comfortable accommodations whether in campers or at motels. Natalie and the girls were on hand for each meal and served delicious dishes. Thanks to Kit Brown for taking pictures throughout the week and Kevin Creeden who stood in for those that weren’t there for winner’s pictures. Thanks also to John Davis and Nina Harmon for taking over as Chairman and Trial Coordinator. NSTRA and myself are very appreciative of their efforts and the fine job they did. Thanks to the Rock Creek Club for the use of the grounds and facilities and anyone I might have missed, THANKS. And last but not least, thanks to Kevin Schlarbaum and Doug Embray for filling water tubs – even though they lost the tank and got to tubs with no water. As everyone was watching, this became the talk of the evening and will not soon be forgotten. n

Ted Cook, age 70, husband of Debbie Cook of London, Kentucky passed away Sunday, October 1, 2017 at U.K. Medical Center in Lexington, Kentucky. He was the father of Teddy Cook and wife Joann, Connie Cook, Christopher Conley, and Chandler Conley all of London, Kentucky; the brother of Connie Cook and husband Glen Johnson, Denny Cook and wife Janice, and Gene Cook and wife Martha of Murray, Kentucky; the grandfather of Briar Rose Cook and Brycen Cook, Kasey Robinson, and Kamie Jo Wilson all of London, Kentucky; the great grandfather of Braylen Robinson of London, Kentucky. He is also survived by a host of nieces and nephews. He was owner of Cook Tire, Inc., faithful member of Carmichael Community Church, and a Veteran of the United States Air Force. He was preceded in death by his parents, Willard Eugene Cook and Emily Rosetta (Fiechter) Cook; by one brother, David Cook. Funeral services for Ted Cook were conducted Friday, October 6, 2017 at 1:00 p.m. in London Funeral Home Chapel with Pastor Jeff Lewis, Rev. Jim Helton, and Rev. Tyler Lewis officiating. Entombment followed at A.R. Dyche Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers the family request memorial contributions be made to: Shriners Hospitals for Children Medical Center, 110 Conn Terrace, Lexington, Kentucky 40508. n

I sit here tonight with so heavy a heart. What do u say when you lose someone like Ted Cook? Uncle Ted, to many of us, was just that. Let me explain, when you meet him you automatically became a member of his family! With that distinction you not only had his friendship but his respect, his knowledge, his loyalty, and the simple fact that he would always help you and never let you down.

Ted has been a true asset to the KY Region and the Tri County club for many years. Love for his bird dogs was only surpassed by the love he had for his friends and above all his family! For me personally Ted was more like a father figure always made sure I had something dependable to drive and helping look out for my best interests. I always had an open invitation at Thanksgiving and Christmas at his house! I can't thank him enough for the friendship he has given me.

Through the rest of our lives we will remember Uncle Ted and what he has meant to us. Please, please remember Debbie, Connie, Teddy, all the grandkids, as well as the entire family during this time. May they find peace in the man he was and comfort knowing they will see him again! We love you Ted.

J.W. Collins, President Kentucky Region, NSTRA____________________________________________________Myself and many others across the state lost a great friend on

Sunday with the passing of Ted Cook. Mr. Cook (he would always correct me to call him Ted) was one of the greatest men I have ever known. He would do anything for anyone, and I do mean anyone. He was one of the biggest supporters of kids throughout the state that I have known.

We would always engage in high school sports talk any time we saw each other. It didn’t matter if we were at a local restaurant or if I paid him a visit at Cook Tire, high school sports was always the topic of discussion — well, sometimes politics would be as well, but only to give one of our friends a hard time.

Even though I’m a writer, I find it hard to write about people I truly

care about. It sounds odd doesn’t it? But I just don’t think anything I can write would do justice about my good friend Mr. Cook.

I know he was a joy to be around and he always made me feel like I was one of his own. Heck, he was able to do that with anyone he interacted with.

I always looked forward to seeing Mr. Cook at the Sweet Sixteen Boys Basketball Tournament. You could bank on it every Wednesday morning, I would go over to say hello and he would always stick out his hand for a handshake and say, “Hello, young man. How have you been?” He always preceded with a big hug and then we preceded to talk about, life, sports, my daughter and then anything else that would come up. You could bank on the same routine happening every year.

The one thing that will stick out to me more than anything is how Mr. Cook always dressed his ‘Sunday’s best’ for the Sweet Sixteen Boys championship game. He was always in a suit and a tie and that always stood out to me. He showed respect to the event just like he showed respect to everyone he met.

I never really ventured over to Cook Tire as much as I should to see how he would be doing, but our paths always crossed, usually at least once a month and even more during high school basketball season.

I believe KHSAA Commissioner Julian Tackett said it best on his Facebook page — “Ted Cook’s passing means the loss of another of that great generation of men who were independent, self-sustaining and hard working. In addition to being one of the biggest supporters of kids throughout the state, he was a counselor for so many people and a great friend.”

I’ll end with this — I hope someday to be half the man Mr. Cook was, it would be an honor.

“Ted Cook was my friend.”

I believe anyone in NSTRA that had ever met and talked to Ted could say that. He made you feel special and that you were important to him. What a wonderful gift to have!

Ted was a family man. You could tell by the way his children and grandchildren talked about him and the way he talked about them. He was supremely proud of each and every one of them. He was a veteran and a patriotic American. He was a successful business owner and a generous supporter of a variety of sports. He knew the importance of giving. Whether it was a monetary gift or the gift of advice and friendship, it was given out of love.

There is a hole in our NSTRA family that will never go away. Maybe we should all give back some of the gifts that Ted gave us to make that hole a little smaller.

Until we meet again,

TedCookW I L L B E M I S S E D .

ENTHUSIASM

Enthusiasm! That certain something that makes us great --that pulls us out of the mediocre and commonplace -- that builds into us, Power. It glows and shines, it lights up our faces. Enthusiasm, the keynote that makes us sing and makes men sing with us.

Enthusiasm! --the maker of friends -- the maker of smiles -- the producer of confidence. It cries to the world, “I’ve got what it takes.” It tells all men that your job is a swell job -- the company you work for just suits you -- the goods you have are the best.

Enthusiasm! --the inspiration that makes you “wake up and live.” It puts spring in your step -- spring in your heart -- a twinkle in your eyes -- confidence in yourself and your fellowmen.

Enthusiasm is reason gone mad to achieve a definite, rational objective.

Enthusiasm is inflamed by opposition, but never converted; it’s the leaping lightning that blasts obstacles from its path.

Enthusiasm is a contagion that laughs at quarantine and inoculates all who come in contact with it.

Enthusiasm is the vibrant thrill in your voice that sways the wills of others into harmony with your own.

Enthusiasm is the “philosopher’s stone” that transmutes dull tasks into delightful deeds.

Enthusiasm is a magnet that draws kindred souls with irresistible force and electrifies them with the magnetism of its own resolves.

Enthusiasm --do you have it? Then thank God for it. If you haven’t got it -- then get down on your knees and pray for it. - Author Unknown
