4-H: A Year in Review Dances. AtV safety instruction. overnight youth retreats, cooking and sewing camps, and leadership training. these are just a few of the opportu-nities that have been available to area youth over the past year through the 4-h program. in April, Duchesne County teens attended a youth retreat at the heber Valley Camp where they listened to mo-tivational speakers talk about leadership and overcoming adversity, played games, and tied quilts to be given to pregnant women and children in need. Twolocal4-Hmembersalsoqualifiedto participate in the state senior con-tests in Logan this year. Daysha Farrer will compete in Project re-design and Fashion Consumer Strategies, and Becca Peatross will compete in World of Work, Project re-design and Green-scene. Last September, 15 4-h members also qualifiedforthestateindividualhorseshow. other notable activities over the past year include the following: Teen Council the purpose of the Duchesne County 4-h teen Council is to focus on leader-ship development, self-improvement, and community service. the teen Council is an active, functioning group that works on the local, county, and state level to build leadership and citi-zenship. this year, teens involved with the council worked on developing workplace skills, improving goal-setting and deci-sion-making abilities, becoming a school or community leader, discovering how the government works, and learning to care for and protect the environment. teen Council members are also all about having fun, said Becca Peatross, council president. throughout the year, they made crafts, painted and constructed picture frames with their toes, and performed community service by refreshing the paint on curbs marked as red zones. in addition to Peatross, this year’s teen Council leadership includes: Daysha Farrer, vice president; Vanessa montoya, secretary; and Brandi moon, historian. Sewing Camp throughout the summer, there have been seven different sewing camps aimed at helping kids complete their projects in time for Junior Contests on Aug. 4. more than 30 4-h members and their parents attended these workshops, with kids making projects like aprons, skirts, jean purses, pajama pants and more. Community Club EveryfirstandthirdThursdayofeachmonth, kids in kindergarten through sixth grade meet together at the utah

State university extension room in the Duchesne County Library at 10 a.m. for an hour and a half. each month, the club covers a new topic like photography, cooking, sew-ing, crafts or decorating. Kids have also had memorable experiences planting a community garden and learning about the importance of exercise and the food pyramid. the cost for participation is only $1 per meeting. Community Club members met more than 15 times this year, with over

130 members participating. Peatross is the club leader this year, with Farrer serving as its co-leader. 4-H Field Day on June 18, local kids and teens participatedina4-Hfielddaytokickoff the summer.Thirty-fivemembersattended. the event began at 10 a.m. at the Duchesne County Fairgrounds, and participants painted wooden cars and planes, made boondoggles and friendship bracelets, and learned about beadwork. meanwhile, prizes were hidden as part of a geocaching competition.

Where: Rodeo arena Sign-ups: 9 a.m.Racing: 5 p.m.

Price: $5 general admission; free for ages 4 and under

By ViAnn Prestwichuintah Basin Standard

When the last animal exits the arena after the ranch rodeo on Saturday night, heavy equipment will roll in. trucks are scheduled to deposit several tons of dirt which will be packed, molded and ready for motorcycles to roar through the gates monday morning. Jake ivie and his team will have a little over 30 hours to build a track of challenging jumps and turns for the second annual Duchesne County Fair Arenacross. the track must be ready by 9 a.m. monday for open practice sign-ups. By 10 a.m. there will be a steady stream of hopeful racers familiarizing themselves with the new racing surface. “We run the practice in classes,” ivie said. “everyone gets 12 laps on the track then we pull them off. We go through all the classes and then start over. that way everyone gets the same amount of track time.” more than 150 riders competed in last year’s event. if pre-race phone calls are any indication, ivie expects to see at least 225 competitors. “We’ll find room for everyone,” hepromised, and then explained that the event boasts 17 different classes — from

peewee racers on small bikes up to com-petition on the larger 450f bikes. “Last year we had kids that couldn’t tie their own shoes, but they were out there riding. i think the oldest was in his 50s,” ivie said. two of the competitors were ivie’s

sons, 16-year-old travis and 20-year-old Austin. the boys have been riding since they were small and are glad to have a competition that is close to home. Aus-tin ivie feels that having a local race has really promoted motocross in the area. “Lots of people liked it last year,” he said. “three or four of my close friend bought bikes this year, because they were excited about last year’s race.” travis ivie admitted that riding pro-duces an adrenalin rush that he doesn’t get in other activities. most riders would admit to an adrenalin high while riding. Jake ivie

added that there’s a lot of adrenalin in preparing a track in less than a day and a half. the county owns some of the equipment that is used to move dirt. Wheeler machinery donates machinery to the fair and that is also used to trans-form the rodeo grounds into top notch racing venue for motorcyclist and AtV riders. For Jake ivie this is a labor of love. he admitted that designing the track and staying up for two or three straight days can be rather stressful. “But i love it,” he said. “of course, i’ll probably sleep for a week afterwards.” open practice costs $20 and each race is an additional $25. helmet, goggles, boots and long sleeve shirts are required. Classes include Pee Wee Shaft, Pee Wee AtV, 50cc open, 65cc Beg, 65cc open, 85cc Beg, 85cc open, 250f Jr, 450f Jr, Big Bike Beg, 0ver 30 open, Sportsman, open Women, open AtV, 250f open, 450f open and open Jr. Awards will go to the top three of each class. Pro and intermediate riders must compete in the open classes. For more information contact Jake ivie at 435-823-0146 or travis ivie at 435-738-8288 or go online to www.duchesnegov.net/fair/fairarenacross.html.

Justice family embraces 4-H traditionBy ViAnn Prestwichuintah Basin Standard

ThefirsttimeKelseyJusticecircledthe ring with her horse she admitted that she was “a little nervous,” but not “really” nervous because she was famil-iar with the routine. Before she was old enough to enter her own 4-h projects, she had watched two older sisters stand before the judges and await their ver-dict. in the Justice family, 4-h is a tradi-tion that has been passed from parents — nick and melissa — to their children — Sydney, erin, Kelsey, mcCall, and ethan — and has been embraced by this second generation. “i was raised with it,” Kelsey said. “So i just did it.” “my parents showed us,” 16-year-old erin said, “and we were all interested.” “i enjoyed everything i did when i was in 4-h” their mother said about her participation as a youth. “i wanted my children to have the experience.” the children seem to be in agreement that the experience is positive. Sydney is 18 and leaving home in August so if she participates in 4-h again it will be as a leader. ethan is only 8-years-old and has to wait until next year to begin, but the other three — erin, 13-year-old Kelsey, and 10-year-old mcCall — will spend a week at the Duchesne County Fair washing animals and trying to impress the judges. they will haul horses, pigs and lambs to the fairgrounds. they’ve also entered sewing and other projects. “one year i tried to show steers,” erin laughed. “that didn’t work out so well. i was too little.” this year she is dealing mostly with pigs. Kelsey will also enter her pig, but she prefers her horse projects. “You can do more with them,” Kelsey said. “And after you are done showing a horse, you don’t have to sell it. i don’t re-ally like having to get rid of my pigs.” melissa admitted that 4-h takes mas-sive chucks of time from the family’s summer. there are several reasons she is willing to invest that time. “it’s a great atmosphere,” the mother stated. “the people are wonderful. Probably one of the best parts of it is it teaches my kids responsibility. i have a check list before every show. they have to have all their stuff in the trailer ready to go. But even before the shows they have to feed, water and care for an animal.” Besides responsibility, melissa feels that 4-h helps youth and teenagers interact with adults. “they learn to answer questions and

talk to adults,” melissa said. “my oldest daughter had some job interviews and scholarship interviews. Several times they told her that her interviewing skills were good. I definitely think that herinteraction in 4-h had something to do with that.” the Justice children have won a lot of ribbons during their years at the fair. most of them are stashed away in boxes somewhere. “Collecting ribbons hasn’t really been a motivating factor for them,” melissa said. “they don’t do well in every show, but that’s not a barometer of success for them. i think being able to learn something and do it well.” the teens did suggest that they like learning new things and improving their skills, but they also suggested that they like taking the camp trailer down to the fairgrounds and spending the week with friends. “my friends are there,” erin ex-plained. having a camp trailer in the area is good for 4-h participants that need to bathe their animals. “When you wash a pig, you get as wet as the pig,” erin said. “having the trailer gives us a place to get cleaned up.” the mother of this 4-h family didn’t mention that patience is a byproduct of

participating, but the girls did. “When youfirst get your pigs theyare so wild, you don’t know what to do. You have to wait and work with them,” erin said. “And horses, too. You have to

work hard. they don’t always do what you want. i’m still not a very patient person, but i bet i’m better now.” Getting better is a tradition the Jus-tice family can embrace.

The Ranch Rodeo in its second year, the ranch rodeo will be held on the opening Saturday of the Duchesne County Fair at 10 a.m. Admission to the fairgrounds rodeo arena is free. entries are due by Aug. 6 and are lim-ited to 15 teams. the cost is $300 per four-person team. Prizes will be given to thefirst,secondandthirdplaceteams. ranch rodeos are a shout-out to America’s western heritage. they provide an opportunity for traditional cowboys and cowgirls to demonstrate the skills that they use on the ranch on a daily basis. melissa Justice, an event or-ganizer, said it will be a crowd-pleaser. “it’s fun for the audience because it’s more of a family atmosphere,” she said. “it’s just something that’s a little differ-

ent.” the event is a lot of fun for the contestants, too, Justice said. teams of cowboys or cowgirls participate in events like sorting, branding, bronc riding, bovine trail, and doctoring. to make things more entertaining for the audience and contestants alike, the traditional-sounding categories will have some untraditional aspects thrown in here and there. For example, while contestants are sorting animals through obstacles on the bovine trail, they might have to do something like remove a coat from the back of their saddle and put it on. the teams will compete in: Team Sorting A cowboy needs to have the ability to sort a certain cow or calf from the herd. It isadifficultprocessand it requiresextreme concentration by the cowboy and his horse. they must react to the movements of the herd and be able to respond quickly to drive the cattle the direction they want them to go. team sorting copies this process and requires the cowboys and their horses to sort numbered cattle from a herd and move them across a line. As you watch this event, it may ap-

pear they are getting the cattle to go where they want them, but in a fraction of a second everything may change. this event is very exciting and showcases the skills of both cowboy and his horse. Team Branding ownership of cattle has been de-termined by branding on ranches for many years. these brands indicate the ownership of the animal and assist in identifying those cattle that have strayed to other ranches. Branding time on a ranch is a tradition that has stayed much the same for over 100 years. it is an event that brings ranches together to brand the spring calves and to vaccinate and doctor those that need it. this event is a timed event, and all of the cowboys participating have to show their skills in riding, roping, sorting and handling the calf. For this event, paint orflourisusedontheanimalsandthefastest time branding two calves wins. Bronc Riding this event is the core of ranch ro-deo. Being a cowboy is really about the relationship with the horse. even today, horses are the primary and preferred transportation of the American cowboy as they perform their everyday jobs. ranch bronc riding imitates the skills necessary to ride a horse that is bucking. A horse can buck any time, any place and the cowboy needs to have the skills necessary to stay on the horse. During this 8 second ride the cowboy uses his regular working saddle and anything can

happen. they can use their hats to fan the horse and you may see some of the wildest rides. Bovine Trail the cattle drive has been romanti-cized in the history of the American West. Cattle were driven from their home ranches to markets across the West. the bovine trail course simulates some of the obstacles that cowboys en-countered then, and see everyday now on modern ranches. Cattle are directed through a course including gates, alleys, and other obstacles. Cattle must be kept under control at all times, which is not always easy, and the obstacles must be completed in order. this is a timed event, and the fastest time wins. Team Ranch Doctoring Just like people, when cattle get sick they need attention. there are vaccines andmedicationscreatedspecificallytokeep the animal healthy and it is the cowboy’s job to keep that animal in the best shape possible. As the cowboy recognizes a sick animal, he must deter-mine a treatment and rope that animal to give it medication. this event simulates that process and the animal is roped at the head and at the heels and a mark is applied to the animals forehead. the fastest time wins.

Jagertown ready to rock fair“Under the Tent”

Where admission is always FREE!

SaturdayEntertainment by Duchesne

County Royalty at 6 p.m.Talent Show winners will

perform at 6:30 p.m.Dance/Concert begins at 9 p.m.

The up and coming country-rock band Jagertown will return to the Duchesne County Fair this year. The band played a high energy show during the 2008 and 2009 county fairs.

Jagertown will return to the Duch-esne County Fair for a third year, looking tofireupthecrowditssignaturetuneand unadulterated spirit. NothingdefinesJagertownquitelikethe band’s lively sense of humor. their tunes may be light-hearted; however, this animated band is comprised of se-rious musicians. exploring the country genre while incorporating innovative rock elements, the unique Jagertown style lies somewhere between Keith urban and rascal Flatts – with a little Lynyrd Skynyrd-esque guitar dueling in the mix. originally a team of studio songwrit-ers, the soon-to-be band quickly dis-covered chemistry and talent that cata-pulted the group onto the stage. rather than writing and recording for others (primarilyfilms,publishingcompanies,and bands), they began performing and recording on their own. Shortly after opening for major headliners throughout utah, and selling thousands of CDs within weeks, Jagertown was born. though the band has mastered coun-try standards, their original tunes and addictive songwriting keeps audiences in country bars, county fairs, and swanky clubs alike on their feet, inspiring the rapid growth of a fan base of all ages. From the catchy “Be About it” to the surprisingly upbeat ballad about lost love, “Brooklyn,” the music features tight guitar riffs accented by drum, keyboard and bass rhythms. the fresh musical brew is topped off with near perfect three part harmonies and the smoothest vocals in the West. in addition to original tunes, Jager-town brings down the house with songs from well-known artists such as Dwight Yoakam, Garth Brooks, nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Creedence Clearwater revival, and the Charlie Daniels Band. Jagertown is sure to keep any crowd

on its feet. You will not be disappointed with this performance. the band plays Saturday, after the rodeo. Fireworks will follow the concert.

Senior Citizen Dinner

Wednesday at the fair is Senior Citi-zen Day. Duchesne County residents ages 60 and older will be honored with with a Dutch oven dinner at Wallace Park (the park by the pool) beginning at 5 p.m. Please rSVP by Aug. 9. For more information contact Bonnie nielsen at 435-738-1121.

Teen has big plans for future of 4-H

Becca Peatross, center, and a group of 4-H Club members signal their approval during a project in Duchesne. Peatross, 17, is a 4-H intern with the Utah State University Cooperative Extension.


When it comes to the future of the 4-h program in the uintah Basin, 17-year-old Becca Peatross is full of great ideas. Peatross, a 4-h intern with the utah State university extension in Duchesne County, has a long list of responsibili-ties. She is president of the teen council. She helps plan sewing camps, cooking camps,fielddays,andyouthretreats. During the fair, she and the other volunteers will be working long hours, decorating and putting up exhibits. She will also be in charge of most of the important paperwork — entry forms, judging sheets, and keeping track of buyers at the livestock sale barn. “it’s a big job, but i’m learning so much from it,” she said. Peatross, who will be a senior next year at Duchesne high School, has had a love of the 4-h program from an early age. As a child, she and her siblings entered plenty of demonstrations at the fair. She also performed in talent shows. her opportunities to enroll in of-ficially-sponsored4-Hclubswithotherkids her age were somewhat limited, though.

“one summer a mom of one of my friends started a crafting club that i was in,” she said. “that was pretty much the only one i did though. maybe there were clubs out there, but i didn’t know about them.” these days, Peatross said, it seems like there are more clubs and more op-portunities for kids to be involved. Dur-ing her time as a 4-h intern, Peatross has become passionate about providing involvement opportunities for kids who

might not have many clubs to choose from. one area where Peatross sees a need for increasedprogramsis forfifthandsixth graders. Kids in kindergarten through sixth grade have the opportu-nity to be part of Community Clubs, but because the older kids are often lumped with the younger kids, sometimes the classes are boring for those who are more advanced. to remedy this, Peatross plans to start

aclubjustforfifth,sixthandseventhgraders at the beginning of the 2010 school year. the group would meet regu-larly in Duchesne to focus on homework and academics. “We’re going to focus on something different every week,” she said. “the extension has ordered a science project about water quality. i’m also trying to get some volunteer tutors to come in from the high school and help the kids with their homework.” Peatross is still trying to hammer out some of the details about the club, but anyone who is interested can contact herattheExtensionofficeat435-738-1140. Peatross also volunteers to teach sewing and cooking clubs and she said those have given her some of the biggest rewards of her 4-h experience. “When i started out, i wasn’t the most experienced seamstress or cook, but i’ve learned so much from teaching these classes,” she said. “i also love see-ing all the different personalities of the kids and how they all work together.” Peatross said 4-h has also taught her vital lessons about leadership and life, and she encourages parents everywhere to get their kids involved. “not everyone realizes that there is so much more to 4-h than showing horses or pigs,” she said. “this program opens up all kinds of new opportunities for kids.”

Houston recognized for years of serviceBy ViAnn Prestwichuintah Basin Standard

marjorie houston of neola reluc-tantly agreed to be a grand marshal for this year’s Duchesne County Fair. She cringes and laughs a little self-conscious-ly when she talks about the honor. “they probably should have chosen someone that has done more stuff in the county,” houston said. “Basically, i’ve done things with my family.” While working with her family, however, houston has influenced a lot of lives. her late husband, George, and son, tracy, who both perished in the north neola Fire three years ago, were on the fair board for years. But for even more years — nearly three decades — marjorie houston was a 4-h leader. Her impactwas significant enoughthat out of 19 grandchildren, 17 have been involved in 4-h. the other two grandchildren are not old enough yet. “the fair has been a big part of our lives,” the 65-year-old grandmother admitted. the fair is still a big part of her life. houston continues to live next door to the grandchildren and daughter-in-law who lost their father and husband in the

fire.Whenthegrandchildrenareaway,houston cares for the 4-h animals as well as the other livestock. “they help me,” houston said. “So when they’re gone i help them.” on this particular day, her help in-cluded feeding pellets to four pigs three times a day and spraying them off so they would stay cool and eat. She also tended the lambs. the 65-acre farm is home to about 30 head of cattle and 15 ewes. houston, who is recovering from knee surgery, does much of the work required to care for these animals and the land. “even when her husband was alive, shewas out in the field asmuch ashim,” neighbor and friend rodney olsen said. “She is a very hard worker, and she knows what she is doing.” olsen explained that he often sees his neighbor carrying her shovel through the fieldsmakingsurethefloodirrigationreaches every corner. “When it is her watering turn, she sets it and babysits it,” olsen said. “She doesn’t turn the water on and run off to town.

Fair honors Walkers as grand marshals

Steve and Sherri WalkerDuchesne County Fair Grand Marshals

By Lacey mcmurrayuintah Basin Standard

Steve and Sherri Walker of mountain home both learned plenty of valuable

life lessons during their early years in the uintah Basin. Sherri, who grew up on a small farm in Altamont, said farm life taught her responsibility and provident living.

“During the s u m m e r, w e raised a huge gar-den and i learned to can and pre-serve fruitsand veggies,” she said.”my mom was one who never wasted any-thing. We were given responsibil-ity and expected to do our jobs and do them correct-ly. the example my parents set in raising their children was key in teaching me how to raise my own family.” Steve grew up on a ranch in mountain home, where he learned to drive a tractor

and a CAt — skills that would help later in life in his profession as a construction superintendent. the couple met at school in Al-tamont, dated their senior year, and married in 1960 shortly after gradua-tion. they moved to the Wasatch Front for employment reasons, but returned to Altamont after deciding it was im-portant to raise their kids in the Basin. “You can take the boy out the Basin, but you can’t take the Basin out of the boy,” Steve Walker said. “i wanted my kids to be able to grow up here. i’ve al-ways said there’s no better place to raise kids than on a ranch. they learn to work hard and manage money, along with so many other important lessons.” the Walkers have been long-time supporters of the Duchesne County Fair. Sherri said she remembers attend-ing the fair frequently with her parents. Since the couple married, they have only missed two fairs. their absence was ne-cessitated by the fact they were serving missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Part of the reason for the Walker’s impressive fair attendance record is the fact that many of their children and grandchildren have been involved in the 4-h program. Several of their grandchil-

dren have won multiple champion and reserve champion awards for raising beef. “they make my heart so proud, and yet i feel so sorry for them,” Sherrie said with a laugh.”they work so hard. i’d go by and they’d be weighing feed or scrub-bing out stalls or leading calves. But each one of them has grown so much through their experience.” Steve spent years working as a con-struction superintendent for various companies across utah. he said the project he is most proud of is the Sol-dier hollow cross-country skiing and biathlon venue he constructed for the 2002 Winter olympics. Sherri worked as an administrative secretary for various companies for 35 years. the Walkers, who celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in February, have four children: Lisa Carter, Gary Walker, Sherri Dawn Pace, and melanie Goodrich. they also have 19 grandkids and 16 great-grandkids, with two more on the way. “i just want to stress how proud i am to be a Duchesne County resident and how much i’ve loved being able to raise my family here,” Sherri said.

help others. olsen said that if he were going to succinctly describe the woman he’s know all his life he would say: “She cares about people and she knows how to work hard, but she knows how to be a lady.”

Wardles chosen to serve as fair grand marshals Bill and Sue Wardle of Duchesne have a lifetime of interesting experiences to share. Bill — alias mean Bill, alias Wild Bill, aliasSufflebutt—wasborninDuchesneand attended school at the old elemen-tary. he began delivering the Salt Lake tribune at the age of 12 on his bicycle. one winter, however, the weather was so bad he was forced to deliver on his horse, Star. “he talks about how cold it was, but there were a few people in town that would let him in to warm up,” Sue said. Sue was born in Salt Lake City and began taking dance lessons at the age of 2 and teaching dance at the age of 11. When she was 16, she won second place on the eugene Jelesnik talent Quest and was invited to appear on the ed Sullivan Show. Bill and Sue met at a Johnny Cash concert at the terrace Ballroom in Salt Lake in 1961. they married in 1962, and moved to the uintah Basin in 1968. “Bill always talked about how great the Basin was and how much he wanted to move back home,” Sue said. A city girl herself, Sue said she was surprised by how quickly she grew to

love the Basin and feel accepted. the Wardles can claim something that not many people get to: they were able to raise their children in the same home where Bill was a child. over the years, the Wardles’ contri-butions to the community have been numerous. For years, Bill owned Certi-fiedWeldinginDuchesne.In1975,heboughtaranchandfulfilledoneofhislife-long dreams when he started raising Longhorn cattle in 1977. Sue volunteered as the leader of a 4-h club in Duchesne for 16 years.

New, improved fairgrounds to be unveiled

Duchesne County commissioners Kirk Wood (far left), Kent Peatross (center) and Ron Winterton (far right) take a tour in June of the improvement projects being done at the Duchesne County Fairgrounds. The work is expected to be complete by the time the fair begins.


it’s been at least a couple of decades since the Duchesne County Fairgrounds

have seen any major renovations. All that is changing this year, with a $500,000 improvement project slated to be completed in time for the fair. “this is something we’ve been work-

ing pretty hard on,” said Duchesne County Commission Chairman Kent Peatross. “our goal is to make the fair better and more pleasant and accom-modating for everyone, and i think

peoplearegoingtofindwe’veac-complished that.” money for the fairgrounds improvement project was allo-cated out of revitalization funds. Althoughthefinalnumbershaven’tcome in yet, Peatross said he is confidenttheprojectwillactuallycome in under budget. the biggest improvements fair-goers can expect to see are a larger ticket booth that should allow for faster service, new bleachers and flooringinthelivestocksalebarn,and better lighting and new paving in the parking lot. “the new, brighter lighting should make the parking lot a safer place,” Peatross said. the bathrooms have also been completely redone and expanded. in the past, Peatross said, both the men’s and women’s restrooms have only had two stalls each, which of-ten resulted in long waiting lines.

“the last couple of times i attended the fair, i’ve been convinced that if i was a woman, i’d have to stop coming because the restroom situation was so bad,” Peatross said with a laugh. that shouldn’t be the case anymore. now, there are a total of ten stalls in each restroom, as well as new sinks and brighter lighting. Peatross said the commissioners have also been careful to consider all those “little touches” that help make the fair more enjoyable. this year, there will be new chairs, tables and entertainment tents. For Debbie thayne, chairwoman of the Duchesne County Fair Board, see-ing the changes has been a gratifying process. “i’ve been excited every time i go down there and see all the progress that has been made,” she said. “People shouldn’t have to deal with puddles in the parking lot anymore and it’s going to be wonderful to have so many more bathrooms available.” hopefully, Peatross said, even more improvement and expansion of the fair-grounds will be possible next summer.

Robinson directs fair’s spectacular rodeoBy Lacey mcmurryuintah Basin Standard

Clel robinson has a pretty good idea of what it takes to run a successful ro-deo. robinson, a Bridgeland resident, was only 8 years old when he worked his firstrodeo.Hisassignmentwastopushcalves through the chutes and pull the barrier string. “At the time, i didn’t know enough to realize those animals were bigger than me and that i probably ought to be frightened,” he said. through most of his childhood and teenage years, robinson worked for the utah-based 7C rodeo Company — a stock contractor that provides the bucking power cowboys depend on. he worked behind the scenes at countless events, making sure the broncs and bulls were where they were supposed to be when they were supposed to be there. Despite the fast-paced, sometimes frantic environment, robinson managed to avoid any serious injury. “For the most part, there’s a fence between you and the animal,” he said. “i’ve also been around animals my whole life and i know enough about them to be able to read them.” Given robinson’s wealth of experi-ence, it’s no mystery why the Duchesne County Fair Board pegged him as a future rodeo director when he moved to the uintah Basin in 1994. this year marks robinson’s ninth year at the helm of the fair rodeo. he still remembers his initial reaction when he got the phone call asking if he would be willing to head up the event. “Isaid,‘Can’tyoufindanyoneelse?,’”he said with a laugh. For robinson, his rodeo responsi-bilities are far-reaching and the work is almost never done. he attends meetings with the fair board, rounds up advertis-ers and sponsors to ensure there will be enough money to put on a good show, hammers out the arrangements with the stock contractor, locates an announcer, and arranges for the grand entry. During the week of the fair, he works from sunup to sundown. Sometimes, when he’s lucky, he gets to be where he loves to be: right in the thick of things. “i like to be involved when i can and work as the chute boss,” he said. “We try to make sure the cowboys know who is up next so everything goes as smoothly as possible. We run a tight rodeo without a lot of waiting.” robinson attributes the efficiency of the rodeo to the volunteer crew who helps out every year. Still, even with plenty of volunteers, there are often

headaches. According to robinson’s wife, Amy, the reason he continues to serve as director every year without any payment or compensation boils down to one thing: he loves rodeo. “that’s the bottom line,” she said. “he’s very passionate about what he does and he wants to make sure that it’s always a good show.” For robinson, one of the most enjoy-able parts of his job is the challenge of coming up with new ideas to make the rodeo more exciting. As a bull and bronc rider himself, he has a precise knowledge of the sport that allows him to put on a great show. his rodeo resume includes placing at the college national rodeo finalsandcompeting inthePRCAforalmost a decade. During his tenure as director of the fair rodeo, robinson’s contributions include introducing a miniature bull category for youth ages 8 to 14. “this is the fourth year we’ve done this, and it’s one of our most popular

events,” he said. in years past, rob-inson has also master-minded outlandishly entertaining events like a chuckwagon race. this year, the audience favorite is certain to be the cow riding race. Contes-tants will chase a cow out of the chute, sad-dle it up, and then ride it though an obstacle course. “it’s going to be something not too many people have seen,” he said. “We have a lot of great events and a lot of great contestants, and ours is one of the best rodeos around.”

Clel Robinson, director of the Duchesne County Fair Ro-deo, works with a 2-year-old quarter horse at an arena in Bridgeland. Robinson has been working rodeos since he was 8 years old.

Opal Hill Drive to bring high energy show to fair

Utah-based Opal Hill Drive will rock the Duchesne County Fair on Wednesday as the opening act for the Bellamy Brothers. The group takes the stage at 8 p.m. in the rodeo arena.

Just when you start to feel like there will never be as fantastic a time in music again as whenFleetwood mac and the eagles were ruling the airwaves, a small band out of utah comes along tochange everything. Billing themselves as good, classic rock, it’s easy to think that they’re try-ing to simply capitalize on the sound so many of us cut our baby teeth on. But, takeonelistenandallofthoseideasflyright out the window. owning a sound that is obviously inspired from the clas-sic country and rock bands of the ‘70s, they bring their own twist on the genre and creates a sound that is western but hardlycountry. Without a doubt, the highlight of the group is the haunting voice of lead singer maddy Gilbert. her smooth, clear vocals bounce beautifully off the scratchy voice of co-lead Jeddie Duffey. She shines through on each song and, despite how easy it is to get lost in a band as large as opal hill Drive, she carries thegroupwithconfidenceonhersmallshoulders. And while it is easy to dismiss “local” bands, there is no question about their passion to create quality music. in a day and age when the best things about music seems to be fading away opal hill Drive is trying to bring back the old style of rock and roll and we hope that you

enjoy their music. opal hill Drive will open for the Bel-lamy Brothers. tickets for the concert are $10.

Fun Fair FactThe first agriculture fair in the United States was organized in 1807 by Elkanah Watson, a 19th century farmer who displayed a small exhibit of sheep under an old elm tree in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Three years later he organized a second fair which was successful beyond his expectations with 386 sheep, 109 oxen, nine cows, three heifers, two calves and one hog.

Funnel cakes are said to have originated in the United States with German immigrants who settled in Pennsylvania. They made the cakes for harvest celebrations and holidays. Today funnel cakes are a staple at fairs, amusement parks and carnivals.

Bellamy Brothers set to play the fair For more than 30 years, the Bellamy Brothers have been an unassuming pic-ture of consistency in country music, crafting honest, heartfelt songs that con-nect with millions of listeners around the world. even more remarkable is the fact that they’ve remained relevant in a genre that has become increasingly enamored with style over substance, glitzovergrit,andfleetingcelebrityoverartistic vision. Yet howard and David Bellamy have weathered the trends admirably, enjoy-ing enormous success throughout their career with numerous no. 1 hits on both the pop and country charts. evidence of the Brothers’ continued popularity today isn’thard tofind. In2009 alone, “Let Your Love Flow” re-ceived the distinguished Bmi Five mil-lion Performance Award and was listed at no. 68 on Bmi’s top 100 Songs of the Century. it was also prominently featured in the critically acclaimed AmC television series “Breaking Bad.” the ‘70s smash even broke into the top 20 on the uK country charts again — 34 yearsafteritwasfirstreleased! “in 2008, Barclay Bank used ‘Let Your Love Flow’ for a television commercial in the uK,” howard said. “it went top 20 on the charts, then to no. 1 on the catalog download charts, and then even-tually to no. 1 on a compilation album, too. not bad for a song we cut almost 35 years ago.” 2009 also found the duo partnering with another set of famous siblings, the Bacon Brothers. the unlikely pair teamed up in memphis to shoot a video for the song “Guilty of the Crime,” the Brothers’ new single from their forth-coming 35-year anniversary collection, the Anthology, Vol. 1. it’s yet another example of the forward-thinking phi-losophy that helped the modest broth-ers from Darby, Fla., make the leap to legendary performers. howard and David Bellamy were influenced early in their careerwhiletouring with r&B acts like Percy Sledge, eddie Floyd and Little Anthony & the Imperials.Later,theduobenefitedfromtime spent around the blossoming Country/rock scene in Atlanta, Ga. After moving to the West Coast in the early ‘70s, however, the Brothers developed their own sound and scored perhaps the biggest hit of their career in 1976 with “Let Your Love Flow.” the song was a smash in both the u.S. and europe, shooting to the top of the pop charts and helping establish an international fan base that still eagerly awaits the Bellamys’ annual pilgrimage overseas. the Brothers continued to produce no.1 hit after no. 1 hit in the years that

followed, totaling more than a dozen chart-topping singles in the u.S. and europe. “if i Said You had A Beautiful Body (Would You hold it Against me),” “Sugar Daddy,” “Dancin’ Cowboys,” “Do You Love As Good As You Look,” “redneck Girl,” “When i’m Away From You,” “i need more of You,” “old hippie,” “Kids of the Baby Boom,” “too much is not enough,” “Crazy From the heart,” “Santa Fe” and “i Could Be Persuaded” are just some of the Bellamys’ top 10 hits that populated the charts from the ‘70s into the ‘90s. As the last decade of the millennium gathered steam, so did the Brothers’ creativity. they started their own label in 1992, producing six independent albums in the ‘90s and several more for exclusive release in europe on Jupiter records. it was also a period that pre-pared the Bellamys for a record number of nominations at the CmA and ACm Awards in the Duo category — another highlight in a career that has unmistak-ably influencedmanyof today’smost

successful duo acts, including mont-gomery Gentry, Big & rich and Brooks & Dunn, to name just a few. today, the Bellamys’ dedicated do-mestic and international fan base con-tinues to allow the legendary brothers

to tour around the globe at their leisure, having performed for fans and military personnel in just about every country imaginable. it’s a routine that has yet


to get old for the pair. “touring has always been the life-blood of our career,” David said. “tour-ing, for us, continues to be the most basic, grassroots connection with the people who like our music.”

A Farewell Letter As a young teen i attended many of the miss Duchesne County pageants. i looked up to the queens and always se-cretly told myself that will be me some-day. no way did i actually think it would happen. i have been so grateful for this opportunity to grow, change, and serve as your miss Duchesne County. i have had experiences this past year that have forever changed who i am and i owe it all to this service i was able to provide for my county. i had a lot of plans and this year passed quickly, but i’m happy to say it’s been a success! my platform — Breast Cancer: edu-cation empowers — has been the real success for me. i chose this platform because my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer two years ago. the news hit me like a ton of bricks. When my mom told me, “Your grandma has breast cancer,” my heart dropped and all i could do was hope she would be oK. Breast cancer is a serious illness that takes many women’s lives. my family feels very fortunate that my grandmoth-er’s cancer was found early enough for hertofightitandmakeafullrecovery. Some of the ways i tried to get the awareness out was by creating a blog at [email protected]. the blog is just me chatting about things that are important to me and facts i found about breast cancer. i also hosted a Locks of Love Day where

Jennifer Smith - Miss Duchesne County 2009

people could donate hair, money and hair accessories. this was all donated to young teens who lost their hair due to cancer treatments. there was a great turnout with seven hairpieces and about 100flowerclipsdonated. i participated in a 5K cancer walk with my grandmother. it was an amaz-ing experience i will never forget and i will continue to participate every year. i was also a part of the KLiC organi-zation’s overnight cancer walk. these activities have all helped me realize how much i love serving others. Awareness is crucial to surviving breast cancer. the sooner it’s found the better chance people have. i have spent my year as miss Duchesne County try-ing to promote yearly mammograms for women over 40, but even more impor-tant for everyone is doing self exams. Any change in the breast can mean cancer. Don’t be afraid and get to know your body. the journey my family took with my grandma brought us even closer together and because of that i wanted to learn all i could about cancer. it is not preventable, but it can be dealt with if found early. it’s just unfortunate that it took my grandmother getting cancer for my family and me to learn about breast cancer. What i want people to know is don’t wait until it happens to someone you love to be aware.

i would like to thank my family for being there for me every step of this

journey and also Joani reyburn for be-ing a great pageant director. i want to thank my grandmother for being such an inspirational woman. She can do anything! i can only hope i was able to make a difference during my year as your miss Duchesne County. i have grown in ways only possible from the journey of the past year. thank you for letting me have this wonderful experience!
