Funeral service will be on Tuesday, November 16, at PAST Continued from page 1A off Pritchard’s relation- ship with Hawkins. Julio had proven to be a especially hard to break. The last big buck landed Pritchard in the hospital with a shattered collar bone. “I lost count how many times that he got me off and how many broken ribs,” Pritchard said. “On the point system he was ahead.” During his rehabilita- tion Pritchard was unable to ride Julio, and friends thought he was just going to kill himself if he ever tried to ride Julio again. Instead, they suggested letting the bareback cham- pion Hawkins take the reigns. “Johnny was an excel- lent horseman with very light hands on the mouth, easy and smooth,” Pritchard said. “What bet- ter guy than Johnny for Julio? So off went Julio to Johnny. I would go by and visit with Johnny and Julio every week to see how the progress was coming along.” After three months and healing Pritchard was ready to take Julio out for that long awaited ride. “I remember Johnny telling me to just be care- ful,” Pritchard said. “Off we went. I unloaded Julio out of the trailer tightened his cinch and got on. Everything seemed fine. I was just sitting on him while waiting for the other riders to saddle up. Then all hell broke loose.” This time Pritchard managed to stay on. It was the last time Julio ever tried bucking Pritchard off. Feeling like he owed Hawkins more than the money he had paid him, Pritchard made a bronze sculpture of Hawkins rid- ing a bucking horse from one of his earlier photos. When he saw the bronze, Hawkins was very surprised. Hawkins told Pritchard it was very well done, showing the riding style that had made him a champion. “Completing my first sculpture was the inspira- tion that lead me into the art world of sculpture,” Pritchard said. He and Hawkins flew to Colorado Springs, Colo. to present and donate the bronze to the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. Another Hawkins bronze has been donated to the Red Bluff Round- Up Museum. During the time he was recovering, Pritchard had lots of time on his hand, which he spent delving in the history of California. He had a chance to do a lot of reading and research on the early Alta Califor- nia era and the events that lead up to its discov- ery, including the people that pioneered California and their customs, horse- manship, crafts and hors- es. “Boy did my eyes open up,” Pritchard said. He met with Ernie Morris and Jack Swan- son, both well known vaqueros and two of the best artists today depict- ing early California. The two artists inspired Pritchard to carry on with the tradi- tion of the early Cali- fornios. His first sculp- ture of California vaque- ros took six months to complete. Pritchard took the sculpture down to the first Californios Ranch Roping & Stock Horse Contest in Dublin. “I remember when two older ranchers stopped by my booth,” Pritchard said. “Both of them just kept staring at the sculpture for some- time. Then one of them said to me. You’ve either ridden a lot of horses or you have looked at a lot of books. I told them that I had done both.” As an artist it’s his responsibility in keeping the Californios tradition alive though his sculp- tures, Pritchard said. In addition to the Hawkins piece and the item at the Round-Up Museum, Pritchard’s work can be viewed at Sparrow Fine Arts & Antiques in downtown. ——— Tang Lor can be reached at 527-2153, Ext. 110 or by e-mail at tlor@redbluffdai- lynews.com. 2:00 pm at Saint Monica’s Catholic Church 1129 West Wood Street, Willows, CA with a graveside services and reception following. PAWS Continued from page 1A ty, is retired from the Anderson Police Department. In 2007, after 20 years of training dogs for military ser- vice in Afghanistan, Iraq and the United States, Dikes founded his own international company, Vigilant Canine Services International, to provide world-class canines for complex detection and protection work in addition to law enforcement and security environments. The business has a 250-kennel breeding and training center near Johannesburg, the largest breeding facility in South Africa. It has a sizeable breeding and training center in the Philippines in addition to operations in Afghanistan to provide working dogs for the military there, in Iraq and other locations throughout the world. The company has a contract with NATO through 2018. For more information, see www.vigilantcanine.com. Dikes, who plans to attend today’s event, said the com- pany breeds and trains mostly shepherds – German, Dutch and Belgian – for patrol, detection and protection work. BLAME Continued from page 1A deficit in the current fiscal year. Schwarzenegger made his comments a day after calling a special legislative session to tackle California’s growing budget gap. The session would start when the new Legislature is sworn in on Dec. 6. Some Democrats have said they would rather wait until Gov.-elect Jerry Brown, a Democrat, is sworn into office in January. Schwarzenegger said he talked with Brown about the special session on Thursday. ‘‘He’s all for it,’’ the gov- ernor said. ‘‘He knows that the faster we make these decisions, the better it is and the less he has to deal with. It’s natural.’’ Brown is vacationing out of state. A spokesman said Thursday the governor-elect intends to work with the Schwarzenegger administra- tion and the Legislature on the budget crisis. Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacra- mento, said short-term solu- tions must be combined with a serious statewide conver- sation about what state gov- ernment can and should pro- vide. ‘‘What Gov. Schwarzenegger doesn’t acknowledge is that the meat-cleaver approach to cutting not only harms peo- ple but harms the prospect for economic recovery as well,’’ Steinberg said. He said he remains unwilling to totally eliminate programs Californians count on, such as work assistance and child care. ‘‘If he’s going to present us with nothing more than a package of massive cuts, my view is that we will get start- ed in December, but we will work with the governor- processing and custody, prisoner transport and vehicle abatement. Private property abate- ment was added to the list of responsibilities in 2007 and in July 2010 water meter reading was added. The council heard a request from Librarian Caryn Brown and approved up to $6,100 from the Ridell Trust, which the city controls, to be used for the purchase of a new computer server for the County Library Sys- tem.

John Vigna, spokesman for Assembly Speaker John Perez, D-Los Angeles, said the deficit can’t really be solved until job prospects improve; California’s unem- ployment rate has been stuck above 12 percent for more than a year. ‘‘We’ll see if there are some solutions we can adopt in December ... but the important thing is to not make matters worse with the cuts we do make,’’ Vigna said. 5AM LINE UP!!
