Youth Movement Marks
‘85 World Championship
A new generation of wildfowl
artists seems to be making itself
known, at least as far as results in
the 1985 Ward Foundation World
Championship Wildfowl Carving
Competition might indicate. Top
winners in the 1985 World, held
April 26-28 in Ocean City, MD,
showed a definite youth movement,
with 27-year-old Larry Barth of
Stahlstown, PAwinning the $20,000
purchase award in Decorative
Lifesize, and Jett Brunet of Galliano,
LA winning in Competition Grade
Floating Waterfowl. Jett, 20, son of
five-time World Champion Tan
Brunet, won the $10,000 purchase
award with his pair of ruddy ducks.
Gary Yoder, who won the $7500
* Larry Barth’s “~~iter Lali
Snowy Owl and Bonaparte’s
winner
of the 1985 Decorative Lifesize competi
tion.
Approximately 10,000 visitors attended The World Championships in Ocean City
in April.

purchase award in Decorative
Miniatures, is likewise not exactly a
grizzled veteran, despite his growing
collection of blue ribbons. Gary is a
25-year-old carver from Grantsville,
MD.
It was one of the most sucessful
World Championships ever, both in
the quality of work displayed and in
the number of visitors who came to
admire the art. An estimated 10,000
persons attended the annual
competition.
According to Knute Bartrug,
who has been chairman of the event
for 15 years, 797 carvers entered
2444 works in the competition.
Bartrug said entrants included 217
professionals with 797 carvings, 219
amateurs with 730 pieces, and 361
novices entering 917 works.
Bartrug said the theme for the
1986 Decorative Lifesize and
Decorative Miniatures competition
will be Seabirds. The theme for
Floating Pairs competition will be
Cinnamon Teal. The 1986 World
Championships will be held in
Ocean City on April 25-27.
Photos of the winning World
Class pieces will be featured in the
Summer issue of the Ward
Foundation’s Wildfowl Art Journal,
which will be published in mid-July.
The Summer issue will also include
a feature story on Larry Barth, and
a special color step-by-step section
on how Larry created his winning
carving, “Winter Lakeshore Snowy
Owl and Bonaparte’s Gull.” Future
issues of the magazine will include
stories on Jett Brunet and Gary
Yoder.
Here is a complete list of the
winners in all categories of the 1985

Director’s Report
With the printing of the last
issue of the “Ward Foundation’s
Magazine, the Ward Foundation
News” has taken on a new format.
Actually the Foundation is
expanding its services to the
membership. The Ward Foundation
News which started out as a
newspaper seven years ago is now
returning to its newspaper format.
This is the first issue of the new or
should I say old Ward Foundation
News.
The “News” will be printed four
times a year. This will enable all of
the many wildfowl art lovers to stay
on top of the many activities that are
now occurring throughout the
United States. It seems appropriate
that the winners of the World
Championship Wildfowl Carving
Competition are listed in this edition.
If any of you have any news worthy
items about your carving club, the
latest Wildfowl Art Show or contests
please send this information to us.
We can probably use it in the
newsletter.
The magazine now has a new
name and format. “The Wildfowl Art
Journal” now has a staff of
columnists writing on a regular
basis. With our new format we
should also be able to provide our
readers with more in depth feature
articles about the top bird carvers
working today, the latest information
on decoys, bird carving history and
technical information on bird
carving.
The Ward Foundation was
established in 1968 to promote
North American Wildfowl Art and to
establish exhibition halls of wildfowl
art. With the addition of the new
newsletter I hope we have taken one
more step toward achieving the
Foundation’s goals.
Kenneth A. Basile
Director
North American Wildfowl
Art Museum
Don’t Miss An Issue!
~
Beginning with the Spring Issue the Ward Foundation’s quarterly
magazine took on a new look: More color...More pages...More
columns and stories about carvers and carving...Even a new
name!
This summer we’re planning our biggest issue yet, featuring
World Champion Larry Barth with a full-color, step-by-step photo
feature on how he created “Winter Lakeshore-Snowy Owl and
Bonaparte’s Gull,” winner of the 1985 Decorative Lifesize
competition at the World Championships in Ocean City in April.
We’ll also have stories on carver Mark McNair, Hy Dahika, English
pigeon decoys, as well as regular features by George Reiger,
Henry Fleckenstein, Jim Sprankle, and Dan Brown.
Look for us in late July in your favorite mailbox!
