The Salt Lake Olympic Bid Committee defines "Olympism" as "an attitude or state of m ind that seeks excellence, good sportsmanship and hard work to reach personal goals despite the risk of failure." These 4 students were cho sen to accompany the Salt Lake bid committee to I lungary as am- bassadors of "Olympism."

Janet Jorgensen, the director of that event, says it will be held in the late fall at Manti High School after other area pageants have been held. Young women who have had pagenat experience are invited to compete for college scholarships and the right to compete in the Miss Utah contest, Mrs. Jorgensen said. The same rules apply to the Miss Panoramaland Pageant as other pageants that qualify winners for the Miss Utah Pageant. Mrs. Jorgensen has had previous pageant experience and is heading a committee representative of the area. For additional information on the Miss Panoramaland Pageant those interested can contact Mrs. Jorgensen at The Miss Panoramaland is sponsored by the Six County organization. AT its meeting last week the Sanpete County Commission agreed to make an initial $50 contribution to the event. AFtcr dealing with the selection of Miss Panoramaland. the Commission turned to the always regular issue on its agenda: land. It sold ten pieces of it in the Aspen Hills subdivision - lots it had acquired in tax sales - to bidders who wanted property in that 835-177- 1. -- -- development. Receipts from the sale of the lotw will go into the countys general fund fast-growi- and the lots themselves will return to the tax rolls, two plusses, the Commissioners agreed. The Commission also gave final approval to a mobile home park in the Chester area. The developers, Kyle and Jolene Jackson, said the park will have 48 slots for mobile homes, will have the required service amenities and w ill operate on a strict governance code. The Jacksons explained that the park will help meet an urgent need for more housing in the area. The Jacksons had encountered strong opposition when they applied for the mobile home park permit on the grounds that it would result, among other things, in a conflict between different life low-co- st styles. In approv ing the mobile home park application, however, the Commission evidently fell the right of the Jacksons to develop their property in an acceptable way and the need for more housing were the paramount issues. The Commission also gave tentative approval to a project that will double the capacity of the Camperworld development along Highway 89 between Mt. Pleas- - ant and Fairv icw . The project will require the extension of water, sewer and power lines. After reviewing the plat, the Commission told the Camperworld delegation, hcaJed by Des Townsend, that they would need to obatin the necessary permits and meet other requirements before the project could be given final approval. At the request of Steve Tytksen. the Commission jc ccpted the plat for a proposed Freedom Ranch subject to review. And to top off its agenda, the Commission gave approval to its May tax sale, but in this matter encountered several minor obstacles: a letter from Dan Roberts Continued on page 6 mini-subdivisi- Sister follows sister Mindy Steadman wears Miss Sterling crown Mindy Steadman will follow in her sister's footsteps as the 1995-9- 6 Miss Stciling.

The theme of the pageant was "Look at You Girl", and with a touch of country, the three candidates and the outgoing Miss Sterling, Amy Steadman, entertained the audience with a production number that had the definite flavor of country'. In an unusual turn of events, the girls pulled gentlemen out of the audience to participate in the fancy footwork line dance, putting the spotlight on members of the audience as well as highlighting their own talent for this type of dance that requires rhythm, memory, and coordination. The talent was superb, as Shelly Otten played "Lanes Theme" on the piano from the soundtrack of "Eight Seconds", and I leather Jarvis sang the golden of the oldie "The n" 1950s fame. Mindy Steadman did a lyrical jazz dance number straight off Broadway, "One" from "A Chorus Line".
