                                                 HELLO. Welcome.

                                             Bless you for your time.

                                    Good heavens. If you are sincere in looking for the very best Sions. Sions racing in the biggest races in the world today.  You have most definitely found the right place.

                                                Amen.

When you see my Sions. You see time. The life time of three men who seriously devoted their lives to one family of racing pigeons:

​                                                               Sions:  Paul Sion, Charles Heitzman and "No Sweat." 

Sions are the finest family of racing pigeons which have ever existed. Bar none. Great long-distance races. Beauty unsurpassed. You only need to do your homework to learn how true this statement is. Many strains and families of racing pigeons have come and gone over the past 120 years. But the Sions remain. In strength. As fine as ever under the care of "No Sweat."  These are gorgeous Sions setting long-distance records across the world today.

I remain elated.  Having been recently inducted into the  HALL OF FAME by the AMERICAN RACING PIGEON UNION.  This being the highest honor and award possible to be bestowed on any racing pigeon fancier. Bless the American Racing Pigeon Union for this acknowledgement. I will cherish it to my grave. I am fortunate to have been friends with over a dozen other HALL OF FAME inductees throughout my life.  Also blessed by so many  true friends who pushed hard for me to receive this award. In particular, Oliver Nicholas. John McQuithy, John Jennings. 

I allow fanciers to visit my five lofts. But appreciate. I must schedule in advance.  I am still employed at the university. Also have other obligations demanding of my time.


NOTE. To explore who I am and all about my Sions. Look at:

                                2. NO SWEAT SIONS 2025

                                3. NO SWEAY SIONS 2024 SUMMER

                                4. THE HEITZMAN STORY BY NO SWEAT


* Also. NOTE. You can locate many you tube videos of NO SWEAT at:

The photos you see here. Taken on November 7-8, 2025. You will see a new loft in progress. "THE CRYSTAL PALACE." Once completed. Reserved for YOUNG BIRDS. Which I will once again resume flying out to 500-700 miles. I stress long distance. Where true quality and homing instinct are un-arguably discovered.


Anyone wishing to contact me.  Feel free to do so. I am happy to talk about Sions. Fanciers beginning into the sport.  Fanciers returning into the sport. Fanciers who knew Charles Heitzman. Fanciers wanting to try Sions.  Fanciers wanting to experiment with crossing my Sions with other families of racers. I have had Sions for 68 years.  Winning over 1,600 first places in all manner of competition.  "NO SWEAT" is my pen name.  In the same light as "MARK TWAIN."  My eight books have been published by three different publishers. I am a best selling Kentucky author. Having gone to NUMBER ONE on Amazon.  I am BEST REACHED by email:
                                           [email protected]     
 

                * I ALWAYS respond to emails. 
​                                                                             [email protected]



My grandson, Lance.  Will soon be shooting two new videos of my Sions. Lance is my "right arm" in maintaing my five lofts. His working with me around the lofts has been the greatest blessing of all with my Sions. Lance is a recent college graduate with honors. A great surfer, scuba diver and herpetologist. Now a teacher and swim coach.

The NO SWEAT LOFTS are situated on five acres of land being re-turned into a nature sanctuary. Today. The five lofts represent THE FLAGSHIP for Sions throughout the world.

The family of NO SWEAT SIONS are always aimed at achieving beauty and long-distance racing combined.

The No Sweat lofts are built for what makes the pigeons happy. Not what makes fanciers happy. Birds love freedom and open air.  Happy birds make healthy birds.

The strawberry mealy cock is a permanent stock bird at the NO SWEAT LOFTS. He is line-bred back to Paul Sion's "Le-Rousellete"  34 times first place.  He is also line-bred to "HARD CORE."  First back from 620 air miles as a YOUNG BIRD. Flying in headwind and 90 degree heat. Arriving home early the second day.
