Membership roles in theASRA contain all of the ASR fanciers that ever attained Master Breeder status and these are the mostinfluential fanciers in the hobby today.The American Show Racer is a very highly competitive breed and a real challenge to produce to theideal because of an exacting standard. A breed that demands great attention to detail, in feature, featherand condition. A breed bred to carry itself a certain way, to handle a certain way and to look a certainway. Distinction, simplicity that tests the skills of the most seasoned fanciers, yet promises beginnersthe thrill of a life time.Membership in this premier club is taken very seriously by fanciers young and old and a long heldtradition of fanciers attaining officer status believe it to be a pinnacle achievement and are proud to serveand have served in the ASRA. Truly a club of class.The ASRA has many District and Sanctioned Specialty meets each year through out the United States,including the prestigious NPA Grand National that rotates its shows across the nation and the NationalYoung Bird Show held in Louisville, Kentucky.The American Show Racer Association is a National Pigeon Association affiliate club.3

Founded in 1952. Shared values of thoseinvolved in the hobby including principles of sportsmanship. Many believe theseprinciples of sportsmanship are the prime reason why our hobby has flourishedfor over fifty years. Therefore the belief that it is useful to periodically articulatethe fundamentals of our hobby, this code is presented.* Fanciers respect the history, traditions and integrity of our hobby of purebredpigeons.* Fanciers commit themselves to values of fair play, honesty, courtesy andvigorous competition, as well as winning and losing with grace.* Fanciers refuse to compromise their commitment and obligation to the hobby ofpurebred pigeons by injecting personal advantage or consideration into theirdecisions or behavior.* The fancier judge judges only on the merits of the bird and considers no otherfactors.* The fancier judge or exhibitor accepts constructive criticism.* The fancier exhibitor declines to enter or exhibit under a judge where it mightreasonably appear that the judge’s placements could be based on somethingother than the merits of the bird.* Fanciers welcome. Encourage and support newcomers to the hobby.* Fanciers will deal fairly with all those who trade with them.* Fanciers are willing to share honest and open appraisals of both the strengthsand weaknesses of their breeding stock.* Fanciers spurn any opportunity to take personal advantage of positions offeredor bestowed upon them.*Fanciers always consider as paramount the welfare of their pigeons.* Fanciers refuse to embarrass the hobby, the American Show Racer Association,or themselves while taking part in the hobby.5

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGEJeff AdairWell here we go again, or as Arnold says I’m back, so I can honestly say I have been there and donethat. Thank all of you who voted. To be able to keep this club alive and move it forward, themembership must get involved, if nothing more than to vote on each and every motion that is broughtforward to vote. It’s your responsibility and duty to vote and I hope all of you will take full advantage ofthis right.We have some new officers and some fresh ideas. You, as a paid member’s have every right to speakyour mind on those motions and ideas, but keep it positive and in a productive manner. Topics should bedebated pro and con, how else can we decide if these are truly good or bad ideas for our club.One of the first things that you will see different, is in your bulletin, they will now be sent directly toyou as a personal e-mail. We are asking everyone that has a computer to take an on line bulletin, this isbeing done to cut the costs of publication as yearly dues for many years have been far less than the highcost of printing. Those who get bulletins mailed through the post office will still be getting them, not toworry, it’s just that those on the internet will get them sooner. Another change is that we believe everymember should get the same full color bulletin with the same amount of pages and therefore there willbe no black and white bulletins. So help the ASRA, send in your e-mail address. At the rear of thisbulletin will be a current membership list, please see that your contact information is correct.Next we have an official ASRA Yahoo chat site for Paid members only, this site was started January2 nd 2013. The address is: OfficialAmericanShowracerAssociation@yahoogroups.com. If you have theability to join it please do. This way you can voice your ideas and opinions in real time, instead ofmailing your thoughts and wishes to someone to publish two months later. Bulletins are the life blood ofany club, yet the technology for much faster communication exists and could be a useful tool.Some of the things I would like you to start thinking and commenting on are, web site voting, it savesthe club lots of money and is a lot easier than having to mail your ballot in. The Giant Homer Club hasdone it for some time without any problems. All votes come in with members names and are easilyidentifiable as authentic. For those who want a mailed ballot they will still be available, should on linevoting ever become a reality.Another topic many fanciers are discussing is the judges, most feel it is imperative that we trainmore judges. Makes sense to me, a club that goes stagnate soon fades away. I don’t care so much in howit is done, but that it gets done, and a database is created. That way when a show is in need of a judgethey can go to the data base and get the information as needed.I still need a Historian if anyone is interested in the job. I have appointed Les Heisserman as District8 Director. Les is a Master breeder with immense experience, but has had health problems keeping himfrom being involved and active in the last couple years. He is on the mend and feels he can do the job.Thank you Les for stepping up.Jim Johnson stepped up as Publicity Director and is already doing a fantastic job, some are alreadysaying how did we ever live without Jim. James Clarkson came forward and will hold the job of ASRA8

Web Master, this is a volunteer position, yet it might be time to add web master to the club officers ifyou agree. Since he is doing a fine job and the club desperately needed his web building expertise.Last a very recent appointment of Rich Barschdorf for the Novice/Junior Director, Rich has a lot ofexperience in this area and I know he will do a very good job. He has created a face book page andwould like everyone to visit and add to that effort. Look for his phone number and email address in theforward pages if you have any questions for him as he is more than willing to help. Here is anotherinstance of modern technology at work that could be a great tool for the promotion of the ASRA.http://www.facebook.com/AmericanShowRacerPigeonsThings are moving and changing fast this month so it has been difficult to say the least to answerquestions with any certainty on some topics. I see these set backs as temporary and promise to do what Ican to resolve any issues. My phone #’s and e-mail will be included in this bulletin ,I look forward tohearing from you if you have any questions.Western VPRalph WhitsonI want to thank all of the fanciers that attended this show, from the 4 th , 5 th and 6 th districtsto the travelers from Canada, Australia and Germany, thank you so very much, you madethis show! Thanks to my good friend Abe Karam for helping me with set up, bringingjudging cages and all that you did, thanks to Robert for doing the books and taking thepictures of the winners.Taken from phone interview on the greens somewhere between the 8 th and 9 th holesEastern VPStanley StamerAs Eastern VP I will do the job to the best of my ability, this is all new for me andI will be relying on all of you in the eastern districts to show me the ropes if I askquestions. I will in turn promise to help if any one needs something from me. Weare a family and I just know that we can make the ASRA look even better if wecan work together as a team. To show my heart is in the right place I will offer apair of ASR to any new fanciers as long as they join the ASRA and for as longeach year as I have extra birds to share. If you contact me prior to a show I willdeliver in person, if you live far away just pay for the box and cost of shipping.9

DISTRICT 8 REPORTLes HeissermanFirst I would like to thank our new President Jeff Adair for asking me to serve asDistrict 8 Director for the next 2 years. I am not new to holding office in the ASRA as Ihave been Eastern VP and District 8 Director in the past. We always had a great group ofmembers in District 8 displaying friendship and sportsmanship and hopefully we worktoward that goal again.After being a member of the ASRA for over 20 years, I dropped out of the club for acouple years for some personal reasons rejoining in 2012, but I never left the Show Racerhobby. This last year due to some serious medical problems I was unable to attend anyshows. I am recovering now and hope to able to resume a full schedule this coming year.I will be contacting members in the next few weeks to fill the State Representativepositions. The show locations in District 8 are pretty much set in stone each year withgreat locations but I have had some talks with a few members and we may try to addsome new shows to our schedule. I will report on this at a later date.As I mentioned before I did not attend any shows this past season but reviewed theresults. Our new Eastern VP Stan Stamer made a clean sweep, winning champion at all ofDistrict 8 Shows. Congrats to Stan for a great show season. Stan is a great breeder andconditioner of Show Racers and there is no question his success will continue in thefuture. Congratulations to the other winners at the shows this past season and again Imissed being their.With all the new elected officers the ASRA will become the club we can all be proudto be a member of.If anyone needs any information in District 8 please get in touch with me and I willtry to help.Les HeissermanDistrict 8 DirectorSeventh DistrictMike Vervoort11

ASRA District 6 News – Jan 2013Gary KeithAnother year has flown by incredibly fast and the show schedule is winding down as weapproach the last big meet of this season, the NPA National meet. The past year was agood one for me and for the ASRA too, as interest in our breed continues to rebound,though be it slowly. With the New Year’s arrival comes the new term for our recentlyelected or standing ASRA officers, and I thank everyone for accepting the role and tasksthey will perform over the next two years.I would like to thank our last ASRA executive for the outstanding job they performed asclub members and officers, their efforts were second to none. It was my pleasure to workwith our past executive and I know they worked exceeding hard to fulfill theircommitments to the club, what more could we ask for really. It was great to get to knowall these fellows better and they have provided me some different insights as to how theclub operates and functions, so it was a good learning experience for me. As club leaderswe tried to put some new formats of changes before the membership in several respects,though most did not come to be, but it was not for the lack of effort or desire to get thingsdone. Thank you all for making this past term a pleasure for me, I will cherish ourexperiences long into the future and I wish everyone much success in the future. Aspecial thank you goes out to Bill R, Brian M, Mike C and Robert E, you did a great jobin your positions on behalf of the club!A new year and a new page in the book has turned over, providing a new opportunity towork together to sustain and build upon our great pigeon club. A few items were left onthe table since the last terms officers were in place, the Master Breeders Program and theNovice Program come to mind. I hope that we as a club can gain some traction and findsatisfactory solutions to these and other projects that come before us. Most importantly, Ihope that we as a membership can look upon each other as brothers or sisters, that wemight find some cohesion and work well together in our common cause, that being thebetterment of the ASRA. I hope 2013 will be an outstanding year for the ASRA, and youwho make up the fabric of our club. All the very best to everyone this year!Here in district 6 we had a better year in 2012 and a better showing at our annual meet inAbbotsford, BC in November. We had a total of 89 ASR exhibited by 5 ASRA members,which included Alec Kovacs, Keith Biggs, Willie Halpern, Thien Minh Lam and GaryKeith, however a few district members were unfortunately not in attendance. It was ourpleasure and honor to have Ralph Whitson of Tacoma WA come up and pass judgmenton our ASR. It was great to have the opportunity to visit with Ralph and listen to hiscomments on the birds, not to mention enjoying some of his good natured humor whichhe shared with us. I would like to thank all our district 6 members and Ralph forattending this meet and lending us their support, I hope we can hold an even better annualmeet this year!District 6 Annual Meet November 9 & 10 2012Entries 89, Exhibitors 5, Judge Ralph WhitsonMajor Awards winnersChampion & Best Old, Best Old Hen - #422 – 09 Red Bar – Gary Keith12

UnfortunatelyThien Lam and my self were the only ones to exhibit ASR at this event, but we managedto have a good time there nonetheless. We entered a total of 30 ASR between us and thetask of passing judgment fell upon all breed judges John Heppner and John DeCarlo Jr. ofCalifornia. These two gentlemen gave the birds a very solid examination and everychance to show their stuff, they did a great job!Major Award WinnersChampion & Best Old Bird, Best Old Hen – #422 – 09 Red Bar – Gary KeithReserve Champion, Best Young, Best Young Hen - #3731 – 12 Black Velvet – GaryKeithBest Op Sex & Best Young Cock - #3743 – 12 Red Bar – Gary KeithBest Old Cock - #4218 – 10 Black Velvet – Gary KeithDistrict 5 newsRobert CorralesAs a new District 5 Director and first time in office, I still have a lot to learn. Hopefully Ican do an ok job so bear with me. I really don’t have much news to talk about; theNorthern California guys are busy breeding babies already. Some already have babieshere and there. Now for down south, nothing really much going on. I just paired up mybirds with a total of 32 pairs and have a few babies already. More on all this later as itdevelops.I want to ask everyone to keep a few guys in mind Drew Lobinstein, Steve Ball, GeorgeTatum, and Ku Yu. They all were in a car accident a few months back on the way to theGreat Western and still feeling the effects. At one point Ku was thinking of letting his 30years plus of SR breeding go, thank God he did not. He is a very important figure in thishobby with his great knowledge and passion for true rare colors and pieds. So that waywe should encourage him to keep going with what he does. Lets encourage everyone todo this we need you guys help in bringing in more members so we could be hitting the250 plus bird mark again, just like the good old days. RobertMy thoughts on the NationalFirst of all I want to thank everyone that showed at the national. Without membersenjoying together and showing, what is the point of even having birds. The national was agreat success there were a total of 188 ASR’s, some great looking birds. I was very13

impressed on the quality of birds that were there. Also thanks you to Abe and Ralph forsetting up a great national, also a big thanks to my wife Michelle for all the hard workdoing the books and paperwork. Everyone already knows Kent took Champion and BOSplus best YH and OC. But let’s also take the time to thank Steve Maynard. I really thinkSteve is the mastermind in Wright/Maynard loft, if not he is a Big and I mean big part inbreeding and showing the birds. Ralph took almost all the awards like always so it is onlyanother accomplishment for him. Congrats on Rec. champ and best YC and OH. I hope tosee everyone in Oklahoma for the next national.Thanks againRobert CorralesForth DistrictASRA Vancouver NationalBy Cass ChildOur National was held at the Hilton Hotel in Vancouver Washington January 17-19,2013, with good support from our members and exhibitors, plus 4 th , 5 th and 6 th DistrictDirectors, all working together. A lot of fun and a good showing of our breed was ondisplay at our 61 st annual meet. Some very nice birds were there from West Coast, EastCoast and in between.Show room at the Hilton was just a few yards away from the front desk andelevators. Yes, it was the main floor ball room, spacious, with a beautiful carped floor,well lit and good air quality. All this made it easy on the legs while working andwatching the judging.There was a total of 3600 birds. ASR’s were the 3 rd largest breed with 228. Enjoyingthe show with the US were Canadians Gary Keith, Willie Halpern and Keith Biggs. Wehad Australians Joe Giuppa, Roy Gurdler and Phillip Cleghorn. Phillip was at the NPAbanquet and received a round of applause for being at his 12 th NPA National. How aboutthat for going the extra miles. Vic Eshpeter was recognized for being at his 40 th GrandNational. You’ve got to remember that is 40 happy hours.Our annual meeting was held Thursday morning before the judging got under way.We had 19 members in attendance. Meeting is in the bulletin.Thanks to all who attended, showed birds or just came to enjoy a visit with oldfriends, those wanting to see what the bird looks like today. Every member in the clubhas value and we want that recognized. We all like appreciation and reinforcement.14

Above and beyond - thanks, to Robert and Michelle Corrales for their expertise withthe show reports, camera work, always keeping the old folks awake and the show gamemoving forward for 3 days. To Bobby Corrales in charge of entertainment and supply ofalcohol, and which room are we in tonight. To Ralph Whitson for the great birds andsaving the club a bundle of money by opening his wallet for $1000.00 for the best awardsever, plus a lot to eat while watching the judging. It was great to be part of the fun atVancouver, to be in the ASRA family and have our birds so well judged by Larry Schulzof Michigan.There will be another NPA-ASRA Grand National Pigeon Show and convention heldin Oklahoma City on January 15-17, 2014. We will be celebrating our 62 nd year as a club.It is amazing that after 61 years it is still going strong.

Members are now anxiouslyworking on its success. Judges are being selected to be voted on. Your officers arelooking to see what they can do for another big show. Please try and be there.

In the 3 rd districtwe had couple good shows. The first was our MOKA all breeds show. We had 45 showracers with 5 exhibitors. Richard Brooks had the champion with a very nice black checkoc, Luke Pryer had reserve champion with a blue grizzle oh, and Anna Cicero was our Jr.champion with a red check oc.We all had a good time and were able to help a new junior with a few good birds. TheOPA all breed show at Shawnee, OK was our District meet this year. We had 61 ShowRacers with 5 exhibitors. Jeff Adair did an excellent job of judging some very good birds.Fred Duffy won champion with a red check old hen, Richard Brooks took reservechampion with a red check oc, and I had best young with a blue bar.15

Anna CiceroJeff Adair & Fred DuffyFor this years start to breeding season, I have not mated up my birds yet, but Jeff hassome on eggs and babies already. So it is possible for me to get going, I will. I guess I’mslow this year, a little dumb founded as it is already the time of year to start this crazinessall over again. Mating, breeding, culling, and exhibiting. I guess that this is what it is allabout repetition, year after year. Very exciting, but a task without end! Did you everthink about it, as good as it was you have to do it all over again.Richard Wiggans16

District TwoJeff WozniakI would first like to thank Larry Schulz for his service to the ASRA and the2nd District. He has left the 2nd District in very good shape financially. Withgood sized shows within the District and Auctions to help subsidize the outof district judges expenses and awards that we present.The office of 2nd District Director is one that I am very familiar with.

This yearwith the support of neighboring districts I look forward to a large entry,hopefully to approach 250+ young 2013 ASR's. The judge for this show willbe Dist. 8 and New Jersey's own Bill Robinson. Bill has always been a hugesupporter of the NYBS in years past whether it be helping to set up thejudging area or donation to or bidding at our annual auction or lending ahand to steward birds or even to do the books...We will be sponsoring alsoan auction again this year and I have already secured donation promisesfrom top breeders such as last years NYBS Champion Bob Larcher, PastNYBS Champion Joe Ognibene, Past 2nd Dist Director and NYBS Winnerand this past years 3rd Dist Champion Larry Schulz just to name a few...Iwill be soliciting others for donations of top quality ASR's.

Building A family Of Show RacersBy Richard BrooksAmerican Show Racers date back to the late 1800’s. Little is known about many who started then, butwhat little information we do have indicates several were in progress. Perhaps chief among them was C.E. Twombly Sr. Mr. Twombly imported several groups with beautiful type. He wrote a book concerninghis efforts. If others wrote I find no record. At any rate, by the 1930’s there were several families ofbirds being shown with considerable success.This was happening primarily along the North Eastern seaboard from about Washington to Boston.World War two caused many young pigeon fanciers to serve in the military and see service in variousEuropean countries as well as spending time in various areas of our own land with which they had notpreviously been acquainted. I was one of those involved in this and I was among those who sawbeautiful birds and after we were discharged at the end of the war, bought or were given birds fromthose we had visited and admired.Within ten years from wars end the work toward developing a show racer type, while not wellorganized, was well under way. The American Racing Homer News (National magazine for pigeonracing fanciers) had advertising emphasizing the looks of certain families of birds, as well as the flyingability. In short the original effort was directed toward a multi purpose bird. As was to be expected,within a decade some fanciers found more pleasure in showing than in flying. Among these were thosewho found more pleasure in winning at the show, rather than at the race. Perhaps this could be betterphrased by saying that they found more success at the show than in the race. Some few did well in both.By the 1960’s some few were being recognized as having better show birds than the rest of us. Soontheir birds were in greater demand, although at that time the sense of competition had quite a fewworking diligently to “develop a better mouse trap” or in this case a better family of show birds. Manyof these were former soldiers and their brothers and classmates who had migrated from all over thecountry to the West Coast in search of better jobs, more security for family finances and a legendary35

climate. While there were always good breeders in various parts of the country by the 1960’s thepercentages of such were much more prevalent in the West than elsewhere. These birds were seldomseen East of the Rocky Mountains, due to distance, lack of fast and economical transportation and lackof sharing information from coast to coast. Then as the former soldier-immigrants began to retire andmove (in some cases) back to the homes of their youth, birds from the West and the East were seen byfanciers from a broad spectrum of fanciers and the modern day show racer gradually emerged.We can give credit to those who contributed so much toward this effort, but that has been done manytimes before. Our intent here is to provide some scientific know how. Enough to say some were muchmore gifted in this effort, and still others including some of the gifted, made greater effort and maybeeven a bit of luck was included here and there. However, there is far more than luck.I’m going back well over sixty years to two college classes I had attended. One was a class in basicphysics (with a bit of astrophysics thrown in). The other was a biology class with an emphasis ongenetics. First, from the physics one learns in the study of energy, force, shape and all else involved inthis study, that there is an unbelievable constancy at work. Late in life Dr. Albert Einstein wrote a fewsentences which have engraved themselves in my mind. In one of his last books, if not the very last, hemade reference to this consistency. I no longer have the book and can’t quote exactly, but the gist of hisstatement was that physics, both in this world and in outer space are very exact and very constant. Inother words, create the exact same conditions in physics formulations and you will always get the sameresult. We know the same is true in chemistry. We depend on this daily for our lives through medicines.We take a prescription to the druggist and expect the expertise behind the formulation of that medicineis so exact and complete that it will cause certain things to happen within out physical body each timewe use it. The difference is sometimes different people get different results from the same medicine, andsometimes the individual gets different results over time. Why? And herein lies the clue we need in ourbreeding effort and the reason that there are so many unknowns in the biological entity we know as thehumane body, or pigeon. The balance of this article will address this area of the unknown and theknown.Whether we glance at a pigeon in a show coop, on a nest bowl, in hand or elsewhere, we never see thewhole bird, simply because much of the individual bird is not visible with the human eye. Enter wordssuch as dominate/recessive or perhaps intense verses dilute. These words are usually used to indicatecolor modification, but the same genetic principles apply to every aspect of the physical bird includingamong other things, eyesight, eye shape, eye color, eye size. The same for leg, toe, bone size and orlength, station, wings, neck, every feather (shape, color, texture, moulting process) heart, liver, crop,sex, you name it. Simply stated there is most likely as much of a pigeon we can’t see or feel, as there iswe can.In the genetics class a simple illustration was made. In this case it was a five gallon jug full of marblesof every color, blend and composition. It could have included variety of shape, weight, size etc. Leaveenough empty space near the top of the jug to permit movement of marbles when we turn the jug on itsside and roll it around the room for a few minutes. Turn it up right and take a picture. Repeat thatprocess and take another picture. Repeat for a thousand or ten thousand times and take a picture eachtime. Compare the pictures. No two are ever alike. Now, think of these marbles as genes, each marble agene to be found in pigeons. No one bird has inherited all of them, but each bird has inherited manypossibilities, anywhere from two in sex determination to possible many in color , size, shape ortendencies such as station. We can’t determine which of these combinations a baby will inherit, or can36

we? Well, not totally and not every time, but yes we can influence what’s available for the expected newbaby. How?Enter inbreeding or line breeding. I have seen great individual show birds that had no record of a background of inbreeding or line breeding. However I have never seen a great family of birds that didn’tcontain both. Let us define each. Inbreeding is mating together birds that share common ancestors. Thiscould be half brother, half sister, first cousins, birds that had a common ancestor, or two, or three, overseveral generations back.Line breeding is breeding descendants to a major foundation bird. Typical matings could be fatherdaughter,mother to son, grand father to grand daughter, in short inbreeding uses birds loosely or moreclosely related, but never intensifies the blood of one ancestor to the extent that one individual providesmost of the genetic material for the youngster. Now returning to the jar of marbles illustration,inbreeding might produce a bird that is as much as half an original common ancestor genetically such asa brother-sister mating, or first cousins which would each contain one fourth the gene pool coming fromgrand father or grand mother. However as grandpa has the ability to give more than the same genematerial to his various off spring, these cousins may and probably will have less that 25% of grandpa.Now let us breed grandpa to his daughter. True his numerous gene possibilities for any particularcharacteristic make it unlikely he will provide the same inheritance for his latest (from his granddaughter), breed enough young and he just most likely will give some of the same stuff. Put that newestdaughter (and also she is grand daughter) to grandpa and their off spring will still have the possibility ofbeing varied. But the number of non related foreign genes will have been reduced as the birds thatprovided them have less and less percentage in your newest babies from grandpa and his close kin offspring.Two illustrations: In southern California from about 1940 to 1980 a famous flyer was W.W. Monniewho flew under the name of MR Orange. He bred a great racing homer hen at the short distances (up to400 miles). Her off spring were about the only ones that ever out flew her. He recognized this and bredher to her best son of last breeding season’s racing in this season’s matings. So, her first son-mate wasone half her genes. The next year her son grandson was ¾ her genes. He did this for about 8 years as shewas about 12 years old when she died. Many of these couldn’t fly as well as their brothers and sisters,but some could and did. Mean while he was breeding cousins together or aunt to nephew etc. Most raceshe won. This was the best example of successful line breeding I know of.However we had club members that caught on. One was Jack Hamilton, another was Bill Rice and I wasalready on such a program. Jack was unbelievable in his efforts. Once a cock entered his breedingprogram it stayed until infertile, dead or proven not to have its best possible ancestry. Sometimes a goodshow cock was three years old before it ever got a chance to breed, and that when its father, uncle,grandpa went sterile or died.Sometimes when you are sharing, ask Ralph Whitson to share with you his earlier days and the influenceof the mother of the original P&W #1 cock. Check enough depth in the pedigree and she’s there. AskRalph about the influence of the dark grizzle young cock he showed as a hen at the last Oklahoma CityNational.I hope you can use the above principles to breed some champions this year.37

THE BIRD OF DIGNITYThe ASR, in my opinion is without a doubt one of the most dignified looking birdswhen you see them being judged in the show cages, especially this was true at aNational show. Exhibition in a first class hotel, the Hilton in Vancouver, WA. Itis the people that exhibit these birds that make a show of this caliber happen. Ihad the privilege of meeting and renewing many friendships from other parts of theworld at this show and I took back with me many great memories. Aside from lovingthe ASR breed, it is the fellowship that I cherish most of all.I also had the pleasure of visiting Abe Karam's loft with the entourage of theAussies and the Corrales. It was a great time and a nice break away from the showhall. Thank you Abe for your "help" in making this visit possible and by the way,the birds are doing great.With all this said, I would like to touch on a few issues that I think could use afew words of wisdom. We should be able to enjoy our hobby without any negativity, Ihave a hard time understanding why there are still some people that seem to need totalk behind peoples back’s and spread untrue stories. Does it really feel good todiscredit people? I really don't believe it does. It saddens me to see the tensionbetween some members with the two chat sites, and this should not be happeningwithin our Association. Being positive and being friendly and giving constructivecriticism is the way to help each other. I personally will not let this be adeterrent from enjoying my hobby and I truly believe that our membership as a wholefeels the same as I do.Let us therefore be dignified as we look at our bird of dignity and enjoy our hobbyto the fullest with good friends and families.In the picture in front of my little patio loft, I raise my glass as a toast ofgood health and happiness to all my true friends in the ASRA. May you all have agreat year with the birds.Willie Halpern, Qualicum Beach BC Canada38

Our Cinderella PigeonBy Cass ChildAt last after 20 years, “Our Cinderella pigeon” has been found.Against all odds at the Grand National held in Vancouver Washingtonon January 18 th Kent Wright of Salt Lake City, Utah has beaten ourperennial Champ head to head at the National. Yes, it is fantasticand in the champs back yard in Washington State.In ASR’s this really is James Braddock taking on Max Baer or Seabiscuit whipping war admiral. The giant of ASR has fallen after 20years. This will never happen again.Our good friend Randall Papetti wrote this story 7 years ago. He dida great job of it and what a story. These are the stories they writebooks and make movies about. Please read Randall’s “Our CinderellaPigeon”.“Our Cinderella Pigeon”By Randy Rapetti, Publicity DirectorI recently saw the newly released movie “Cinderella Man”. What a great flick: Poverty strickenedfather of three takes an obscure opportunity to compete in a prize fight and become champion.When ever I watch a movie I ask myself a couple of questions” “Was it entertaining?” In this caseyes. “Was it well done?” Again yes. :Could it happen?” Well. Yes it really did happen! “Was itimportant?” This last question really separates great movies from good movies in my opinion.Cinderella Man is an important movie to this generation in many ways, but it can be an importantmovie for us as ASR breeders today. In the movie, this poor boxer has to take on Max Baer, a guywho has dominated the sport, and is given little to no chance of winning. Sound familiar yet|?Well, to most of us it should (except for the violence, of course), because nobody has beaten ourperennial champs head to head at a national in what seems to be ages.There is absolutely nothing wrong with being the greatest at something, and our friends Ralphand Ron, have obtained the pinnacle. All of us envy the status our champs have received, if only ina most sportsman like way. For many, however, having the same guys win all the time gets a bitdiscouraging. That is why so many rules are built into professional sports to increase partly thechance that Memphis or Sacramento could win a national championship in something increasesparticipation and interest and excitement. Just think about the times it has happened. Billy Millswinning the gold in the 10,000 meters at the Tokyo Olympics, the USA hockey team defeating theRussians in 1980, Seabiscuit whipping War Admiral. These are the stories that they write booksabout and make movies about. The hero’s are huge underdogs and become “the people’schampions”, inspiring all to greater ideals and goals.39

The vast majority of us need to cling to stories like these in our hobby right now. It has been 13years since our current champions have been beaten in head to head at a national, and that showno signs of letting up. That can be a bit daunting for some….but don’t let it scare you off.Someone among us will raise up to win against all odds. Maybe from your loft, or your friends. Itdoesn’t really matter at this point does it? Good grief, every other loft in the country combined isan under dog! But, it will happen- sometime, at some national, and when it does that show racerwill be everyone’s bird because it will inspire the entire association and be remembered for yearsto come. The gentle giant will have fallen, and that beautiful new champion will be OURCinderella pigeon. Maybe it will happen San Bernardino. See you there!A Tail Feather TipA. Many fanciers have discovered the benefit of adding bleach to their bird’s drinkingwater. It keeps the water germ free for up to twelve hours. Make sure the label saysSodium Hypochlorite …6%. Anything else could be fatal. Recommended dosage is 1/4 thteaspoon per gallon.B. Great grit. Pigeons need grit to maintain a healthy digestive system. Many are likekids who won’t eat their vegetables. Add a handful of crushed oyster shell and a coupledrops of anis oil to a bowl of clean grit. Don’t worry about “fresh” grit as stone is one ofthe oldest things in the world. Just be sure it is clean and then keep it clean. A pinch ofiodized salt will top it off.C. A bath once a week will keep a pigeon clean and comfortable. A teaspoon of of 20Mule Team Borax in the bath pan and you will not only have a happy pigeon, but onethat is free of lice and mites.D. Over feeding, a side from poor sanitation is one of a fanciers worst enemies. An oncea day of a good and clean feed is all that is required to keep a bird in top condition and itnot only reduces the feed bill, but prevents waste. This obviously doesn’t apply to birdsfeeding youngsters.40
