He started the First Responders program, which allows the firefighters to respond to medical emergencies and now ot womens bathrooms to accommodate families, and pay phones have been ordered. Those additions were made to the center in response to residents who voiced concern that a few of the basics were missing. 85 percent of the department is EMT certified. Several Davis women visiting the center were also concerned their restroom did not have an entry door, but it does have doors on the bathroom stalls. Gray said the restrooms in the building are designed not to need an entry door, similar to other large arenas like the Delta Center. She said for that reason they do not plan to add them. One thing they have added, however, is a Miss Legacy Rodeo Queen Pageant set for June 26. The pageant, part of Miss Rodeo Utah, will be for contestants between 1 8 and 24 years old as of Sept. 1. Contestants must register for the contest by Friday. The entry fee is $35. , Contestants will be judged on beauty, personality, congeniality and horsemanship.
