pleted, approved payments on the air-

PENN POINT
There was a time when the Rodeo
drew large crowds both to the parade
that preceded the nightly performances
and the performances was to standing
room only crowds. It was the same way
with “coming to . town” on Saturday
nights when you had to comeearly to get
a good parking place and you stayed late
visiting with friends and neighbors. You
never paid much attention to the tem-
perature because finding a stove was not
that difficult and in the summer you just
accepted the fact that it was going to be
“hot” and a little “sweat” never hurt.
The 45th Annual Olney Rodeo is
scheduled to be held Friday and Satur-
day starting at 8 p.m. in the arena two
miles east of town. Time was that locals
turned out to fill the stands and watch the
daring feats of both local and area cow-
hands. The annual rodeo parade will
kick things off at 5 p.m. Friday and there
will be a parade if it includes only one
float and a few dozen cowboys on horse-
back. You can go to the rodeo, you can
go to the Little League games Friday or
you can stay home and watch reruns on
television.

said that while the ten-inch water main
would be of benefit to all the city resi-
dents, there were 271 residents who
benefited directly from the work done in
the project area.
Mayor pro-tern Marc Wipperman
said the 9-1-1 committee has completed
their work in trying to get all homes and
businesses identified with a properly
sequenced numerical street address. He
continued that each person or business
would be contacted and asked to comply
with what would be a minor change for
some, but a major change for others. He
pointed out that in order for the en-
hanced 9-1-1 system to function prop-
erly, residences would need to be in a
correct numerical sequence.
Young County is the only city or
county that will be going directly to the
enhanced 9-1-1 emergency program.
The enhanced program will let the 9-1-
1 dispatcher know immediately where
the call is coming from without being
told. The enhanced program will also
have any special information about
medical needs of persons residing at
each address.
Other government agencies in the
Nortex Regional Planning Commission
area will go to 9-1-1, but without the
enhanced capabilities. Young County
officials decided to go ahead with the
enhanced system to better serve the
residents.
Council approved payment for the
final billing made by the contractor of
the work done at the municipal airport.
held at 12 noon Chairman for the art
show is Marilyn Cantrell.

Fischer, assisted by Wanda Stroud.
Chairman for planned children’s ac-
tivities is Carol Glover.

sisted by Fran Voelker.

Parade Scheduled
For 5 p.m. Friday
Annual Olney Rodeo gets underway
Friday afternoon with a parade starting
at 5 p.m. according to Jeff McClatchy,
rodeo association president Rodeo
starts at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at
the arena two miles east of Olney on
Highway 114.
Entries in the parade have been slow
signing up this year according to Ther-
esa McClatchy, parade chairman. Tues-
day, there had been only one float,
AmWest, that had returned a positive
answer. Others had indicated they
planned to enter, but Mrs. McClatchy
said that was the only entry responding.
She urged local riders to ride in the
parade, again because she has received
no responses from area riding clubs.
The parade will form at the library and
high school parking lots and go east on
Main Street. Rodeo Queen hopefuls will
ride in the parade as part of their judging.
Queen entries include:
Petite Queen: Lindsay Jacobs and
Cye Cooper.
Junior Queen: Jeri Sharp, Kimberly
Cagle, Sabrina Jaramillo, Chasity
Woodward, Pamela Jacobs, Jessie Perry
and Holly Perry.
Senior Queen: Cecily Miller, Brandi
Ferguson, Amanda Sharp and Chasity
Perry.
McClatchy said the rodeo producer
told him there had been so many bull
riders sign up that the rodeo would start
and end with bull riding. “He indicated
that interest from area cowboys had
been very good,” McClatchy com-
mented.
Other rodeo events include team rop-
ing, saddle bronc riding, calf roping,
bareback bronc riding, barrel racing,
ranch double mugging and youth calf
scramble.
A live band dance will be held both
evenings following the rodeo.
Tickets for the rodeo will be on sale at
the gate each night.
Light Rain, Cool Front
Halt Outdoor Activities
Appearance of the sun has been infre-
quent since light rains began in the area
Saturday, May 16 and although area
rains have continued to be light, only
1.15 inch since that time, it has been
enough moisture to stop the wheat har-
vest, which has just started.
High temperature for the week was 84
degrees reported last Wednesday while
the overnight low was a chilly 51 de-
grees Tuesday morning. Despite it is the
last of May, a sweater or light jacket has
been the approved wear for the early
mornings since a cool front moved
through last Thursday.
Light showers were reported last
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and
again early Monday morning. The
Monday storm was accompanied by a
lengthy lightning and thunder display.
Rain stopped at 8:30 and none fell until
