Show Wednesday, January 27, 1999 Nephi, Utah Fage 2 From page the process of being reorganized. We need ideas from the council to help us decide on the future of the pageant, he said. Annette Murphy, the former chair person over the pageant committee, has resigned, said Jones. She said she was too busy to serve as chair. Most of the committee would like to see Brenda McPherson be the new chair. We feel that our girls are too young to compete at that (Miss Utah) level, said McPherson. Another plus is that we would not have to pay Miss Utah $150 to come to our pageant, and we can have a fun pageant for the 1 Mos KleipCun drop the state sponsorship for the local pageant after this year. The date for the local competition has been set as April 27 at 7 p.m. and will be held, as usual, at the 7th8th Grade Center auditorium (the old high school). Council member, Mike Jones, and Brenda McPherson, representing the Miss Nephi committee, told council members the Miss Utah franchise was too expensive and not worth the effort for local girls. Our committee has voted that once Lyndsey Wright goes to the Miss Utah Pageant, we will not be sending our girls, said McPherson. We feel that the money spent on sending them would be better used for scholarships. More local girls would compete, said McPherson, if they did not think they had to compete for girls." Many of the girls (competing at the state level) have been trained for years and years in competition and in the talents they display, said Jim Wilkey, council member. Most of the girls there are 22 or 23 years old and have talents they have further developed in college. Some have college degrees. Our girls are 19 years old, said McPherson. She said the competition at the Miss Utah contest was too professional, too and too used to being in contests for the local young women to compete with. Some of the Miss Utah contestants have tried out for years and have even tried out for Miss Utah several times. Dresses for competition and the expense of getting ready for the state pageant could also be a drain on a family budget, said Richard Paxman, council member. A scholarship is a good thing to win on the local level. well-traine- the Miss Utah title. We think more girls would try out if they didnt have to go (to the state competition). Lyndsey Wright, our current Miss Nephi, would like to compete for Miss Utah this year, said McPherson. We hope it is not too late to get the franchise for this year. The payment should have been made already but when I called they (the officials over the state pageant) said we could still participate if we paid the franchise fee and a late fee." She said it would cost $450 for the franchise and, in addition, Wright would need her pageant money to get ready for the Miss Utah contest. We are not sure about the amount of money she receives, said McPherson. Jones said the committee for the Miss Nephi Pageant was in d, Perhaps, said McPherson, scholarship money could be increased if the franchise fee did not have to be paid and if the pageant did not have to pay to have Miss Utah participate in the local pageant show each year. We are interested in seeing which direction the council would like to go, said Jones.

This is all fine and dandy and is perfectly legal, said Braun. These people were not considered employees of a home business. Braun said as long as a business was operating within the s of a home, was not doing anything illegal, and was with no increased traffic and parking, the business should be encouraged. I am in favor of and am an advocate of a business district, said Chad Brough, mayor. However, Brough said he would favor a trial period for a home business which would allow the owner of the business to hire one employee. It would be one way to stimulate the business district along Main Street. In addition, he said, it was a city council practice to stick by the ordinances and policies in place and make it possible for the smooth government of the community. Nevertheless, he said, the council was willing to consider views on such policies and ordinances. The council agreed they would four-wall- ct Ij Wmc& 'Sfctnas Allan R. Gibson, Publisher Mariann C.

Robert Garrett and Robert representing the Ute Stampede Committee, reported on the funds the committee had expended at the facility, particularly to improve the arena, in just the last while. We might brag a bit about what has been done, said Garrett, who is president of the committee. We also want to thank the county for the help they have given us, said Day. We borrowed $70,000 from the county to help construct the new bleachers which were $149,000 in aU. We still owe the county part of that amount but are making payments. Payments were being made on a yearly basis, he said. Day, Ute Stampede Annual Meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m. Juab County Multi-Purpo- se Building Juab County Fairgrounds |
