Show A3 The Emery County Review, Tuesday, July 22, 2008 Rodeo action sets tone for excitement Continued from Page A1. event. “My most satisfying thing about the rodeo is that the people who support it can feel comfortable bringing their kids and their wives.” Over the years, organiz- ers have worked to make the rodeo “family friendly.” The first year, they included the wild cow milking competition, which has proven to be a crowd favorite. “Wild cow milking is a staple of our rodeo,” they said. They also recently began naming a “tough enough to wear pink” night, where part of the ticket sales goes to support local people with cancer. This year, as part of the 10th anniversary they have added a special “hide race”, where participants will compete to see how long they can hold on while riding a hide which is pulled by a horse around the arena. The Desertview Pro Rodeo will be held July 24-26, 7:30 p.m. at the Castle Dale Arena. Thursday night will feature the “hide race” and Castle Dale City fire works after the rodeo. On Friday, there are rumors of a “huge suprise”, and on Saturday, the first 500 fans will receive “knock out cancer towels” as part of “tough enough to wear pink.” The rodeo will also feature Rodeo Clown Scott Cameron, who organizers say has proven to be a crowd favorite. Holly Damron crowned Miss Emery County 2008 Continued from Page A1. myself, ‘I’m not doing this for everyone else. I’m doing it because I enjoy it. I’m doing what I love, and hopefully they’ll see that.’” She also commented that she “loved working with ev- erybody that had a part in it,” and expressed that she felt a bit overwhelmed by the “honor” of representing Emery County. “It feels pretty good, even though I will have a lot of responsibilities,” she stated. Those in attendance were also entertained by a number of special performances. Little Miss Emery, Madison McCandless charmed the audience with a singing and dance routine. The Emery High Spardettes, Emery All-Stars and One Step above performed. Clerece Chidester, Kaylee Van Wagoner and Miss Emery County 2005, Shala Pitchforth sang, and Miss Emery County 2007, Kerrie Johansen, and her twin sister Kristine, the 2006 winner, provided an especially poignant moment, with their dance duet. County negotiates with SITLA on industrial park Continued from Page A1. Candless said what concerned him about any timetable for lease or purchase of the land was flexibility he needed to attract businesses to the area. “I have to have the flexibility to go out and recruit clients,” McCandless said. While there are areas where SITLA and the county don’t see eye-to-eye in regards to an agreement, Mc- Candless stressed it was not a huge problem and amounted to normal contract negotiations. The county has been working to develop the industrial park for more than a year and originally approached SITLA about the prospect in June of 2007. After several months of discussion SITLA initially rejected the proposal and the county made some modifications to its proposal and resubmit- ted. SITLA approved a letter of intent with the county in December and the development lease is the next step in the process. Already there has been interest in the industrial park and the Emery County Planning Commission is working to put together a public hearing to solicit comments on a proposal by Mancos Resources for the construction of a uranium mill at the industrial park. According to McCandless there have been a number of corporations interested in development projects in the county but the availability of large enough tracts of land has always been an issue that could not be overcome. “The struggle has been to find large enough tracts of land to accommodate the project needs. These are large treacts of land, typically 200 to 300 acres or more.” Family asks, ‘who killed Rocket’s truck?’ James L. Davis The family of Lynn Reid is taking rather proactive measures to aid law enforcement in the search for clues as to “who killed Rocket’s truck.” The daughters of Lynn “Rocket” Reid of Orangeville have posted flyers throughout the area asking the simple, yet perhaps philosophical question, “Got Guilt?” The question is really only meant for one person, the driver of the unknown vehicle who careened through Orangeville at approximately 12:36 a.m. on July 20, made a high speed U-turn on the Reid’s front lawn on 100 West and 340 South and then pushed Reid’s older black Mazda truck into the center of the street as they fled the scene. The Ried’s daughters were still awake when the driver crashed into their dad’s truck, and on Sunday morning they went about the process of trying to help the sheriff’s office determine who had “killed Rocket’s truck.” While no one was injured in the incident, they could have been. Anyone who has seen a vehicle with front-end damage and leaking oil is asked to contact the sheriff’s office. Lynn Reid’s Mazda pickup was pushed out into the street by the motorist who drove across Reid’s front lawn. CORRECTION The article entitled One Stop Wedding Shop that appeared in the July 15 edition of The Emery County Review may have led readers to believe that Sweet Dream Design and Sweet Creations are combined businesses. They are not. Jodi Porter, owner of Sweet Dream Design and Machine Repair, is located at 165 North 300 West in Orangeville, 7485288. Jeri Goddard, owner of Sweet Creations, is located at 1135 North Des Bee Dove Road, Castle Dale, 381-2017. While the two friends do work together for mutual clients on occasion, their businesses operate independently from each other. The Emery County Review apologizes for any confusion the article may have caused. Damron speaks with 1st Attendant Allie Stokes. Emery County’s New Newspaper 685 South Main Street P.O.
