Members of the Utah Statehood Centennial Commission (USCC) and each county’s centennial commission members met for the first time July at Utah State University to discuss ways to organize publicize and finance the state's 100th birthday celebration Millard County residents attending the workshop were Lana Moon County Commissioner Thorpe Waddingham Utah State Centennial Commission Sylvia Huntsman and Gwen Hunter County Stephen Studdert chairman of the USCC told participants the upcoming celebration of statehood is a wonderful chance not only to reflect on Utah's history but to celebrate what Utah has become and the state's future Studdert reminded committee members that 1996 marks a celebration of statehood not of pioneers settling the state "This should be a celebration of our Studdert said "We want diversity" every citizen to have a sense of ownership of the centennial celebration" County committees are encouraged to improve and expand already existing events in their areas rather than sponsoring a raft of new events Studdert reminded workshop participants that centennial projects are to be paid for with revenue from centennial license plate sales be self supporting or cost

opportunity to spotlight our state and I hope everyone in Utah from the youngest individuals to those who have reached the century mark themselves will participate and take a moment to say 'I feel proud to live in Utah and I am proud of my community’” The USCC has been meeting for three years making plans for projects including writing and art contests international tourism marketing and inviting diplomats to visit the slate promoting wider use of the state flag expanding Pioneer Trail State Park and enhancing the Utah history and social studies curriculum in the stale’s public schools Millard County Chronicle Bern Funny For Kate H tilt nb rand "The protector of the cowboy the entertainer of the crowd” Gowning around at Rodeos is serious business says Randee Munns barrclman at this year’s Days of the Old West Rodeo Randee should know he's been a rodeo clown for over 20 years and his wife and three sons are part of the family act If you attended this year's Rodeo you probably noticed Randee as he strutted around the arena swapping jokes with the announcer Randee was the one in the baggy pants rainbow hued hair and giant blue styrofoam Stetson Randee made his first appearance on a mule - well more like a mule deer You could tell it was a mule deer because of the rack it was wearing (along with a pair of matching baggy blue jeans) Later Randee set off fireworks from his tiny pink car and oh yes even distracted a few raging bulls from his glittery golden barrel All in a day's work Bui if you think the work is easy Randee will be quick to tell you that appearances can be deceiving Sitting in the path of a charging juggernaut quires more than courage says Randee It requires hip guards padding thick tape around the ribs and chest and the body of an athlete Rodcoclownscome m all shapes and sizes and have to be athletes in peak physical condition They have to be agile quick fearless funny have the memory of a computer and an encyclopedia knowledge of bulls says Mr Munns There arc basically two types of clowns: the bull fighter and the barrclman The bullfighting clowns are the track stars They are out'in the arena to distract the unpredictable bull from fallen cowboy Sometimes bull riders get ‘hung up’ when their hand becomes caught in their rigging When this happens they could be dragged along helplessly an actual prisoner of the bull It is the clown's job to move in quickly to free the cow boy’s hand w hile focussing the bull's attention on themselves The other type of clown is the He uses himself and his barrel as the diversionary obstacle in tjie arena The clown carries the battered barrel around and when a bull heads his w ay the clow n folds up like an accordion and ducks inside the barrel When the bull hits it is with the force of a steam roller says Randee It can be a tough job says Mr Munns “You do take yourlumpis But if I couldn't do this I’d have to get a real job and work for a living" Randee actually does have a fulltime job as a welding instructor for Bridgcrland Applied Technology Center in Logan He lives in Garland where Progress August 19 1993 Page the Money Photo KUt HtHtnbrand Cbwnin 'around is serious business forRandee Munns as he gets ready to battle the bulls from a barrel at the Days of the Old West Rodeo during the Fair he operates a ranch and horse training business He also works as a brand spector for the State He knows the other side of bull so to speak He is an active steer wrestler in the Professional Rodeo Cowboy’s Association Randee had high praises for the Millard County rodeo “For a first year this has been great” he said “The first night the crowd was a little shy the second the people were very enthusiastic There have been good bulls and this is a fabulous facility I sure hope it Rylec Munns 10 looks forward to following in his father’s footsteps as a funnyman grows It could compete with Nephi You need to do more advertisement and give away lots of money Thai's the name of the game” Randee says he genuinely likes playing the part of a clown "You go somewhere every weekend to get people excited You hit them at an opportune time they arc already in a festive mood It’s fun" But Randee lakes his job seriously too He understands the position he’s often in “If you mess with the bull you’ll get the horn” says Randee "I have great respect for their power Their peripheral vision is really good hut their mobility isn't as great because they are so big You’ve got to read w here they're going get there and then be gone" he continues Randee refers to himself as a kamikaze bull fighter “You’ve got to have a killer instinct to do this kind of work" he says "Those smart bulls never take their eyes off of you” Clowning has a famous history Will Rogers is responsible for putting downs in rodeos He is credited with being the first -- in 1904 during a Wild West Show at the St Louis World’s Fair The clowns receive a salary but they like all rodeo performers must pay for all their own expenses as they travel hard and fast the United States Clowns can’t fly however they must go by truck or trailer dragging their props and costumes The rodeo clown is a loud but cautious bundle of baggy pants grease paint and funny hair But despite his funny looks his job is a serious one and that according to Randee Munns is no bull 'LZ Fourth District
