When we began these building projects several years ago, we knew it would take a lot of effort and a lot of adjusting — giving and taking — to find a spot for all the old places, events and memories to fit into the new venues. We have finally done P. Michael Wells it and believe that we have not forgotten anything. President and Chief Executive Officer We did have some “square pegs” that we were trying to fit into “round holes,” and that gave us some difficulty. While we have more parking spaces than we did during construction, we also have new facilities that have a higher capacity, includ- ing Reliant Stadium, which has 12,000 additional seats. The increased seating has allowed us to sell more season tickets, and season parking passes were offered to season ticket pur- chasers. The response was tremendous and utilized a large portion of the available parking across Kirby. We only had enough remaining parking to accommodate the committee volunteers who actually are working each day. While it is dis- appointing that we are unable to provide parking for all com- mittee volunteers at this location, the revenue generated from new season ticket sales will help us in our support of educa- tional endeavors. We realize that the committee volunteers are the lifeblood of this organization, and finding parking spaces for them is a priority of the officers and staff. We hope that we have fine- tuned the Rodeo METRO Express from the Reed Road park- ing area so that it is just as fast and convenient — if not more convenient — than fighting the traffic to get into Reliant Park. We all have had to make sacrifices and endure changes in order to fit our old way of Show life into our new Show homes. As in the past, working together, we can make the 2003 Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo™ the best ever. With the tools we have in place, there is no limit as to what we can accomplish in increasing our commitment to benefiting youth and supporting education. Marilyn and P. Michael Wells congratulate William Frank Edmiston of Eldorado, Texas, on exhibiting the 2002 Grand Champion Junior Market Goat. 1 By Ken Scott Positioning himself to try to create just the right feel, the competitor senses the heat and aggression rising in his restless co-participant below. Repeatedly opening and closing his snugly gloved hand, testing its grip and the tautness of the flat, woven rope, the rider prays that it will remain secure just long enough to let him finish the ride. He knows that the rope, like every other detail of the ride, requires a delicate balance. It must be tight enough to secure him but not so tight as to trap his hand when he releases his grasp. The competitor’s heart pounds as he attempts to pace his breathing, hoping to control his adrenaline level. He brushes a drop of perspiration from his brow with his free hand before deliberately placing it as far away as possible from everything else. A thousand ideas race through his mind as he tries to think about nothing — nothing except reacting in milliseconds to anything that might happen during the next eight sec- onds. With his focus so tightly wrapped around the photo by Frank Martin immediate moment, his awareness of anything Staying on the bull for eight seconds is the ultimate goal, but a sudden leap, jump, twist or turn of the bull can result in an early dismount and no score. beyond a three-foot radius becomes nonexistent. After a brief, final check of his posture, and with a determined nod of said 2000 World Champion Bull Rider Cody Hancock, from his head, the competitor invites the release of 2,000 pounds of Taylor, Ariz. Although he started out riding calves and steers as bone-jarring, mind-muddling, pinwheeling, ground-shaking a youngster, he rode his first bull at age 13. Today, 27-year-old terror. Hancock participates in approximately 100 rodeos per year. “I Someone possessing the desire and fortitude to undergo am living my dream. I love to ride bulls,” he added. this experience several times a week might just have what it At a minimum, cowboys must remain on their bulls for a takes to become a professional bull rider. This is the job title of total of eight seconds in order to have a qualifying ride, but the more than 700 cowboys in the United States, Canada, Mexico, judges look at a host of other factors when scoring a ride, some Brazil and Australia. The basics seem simple enough: stay on of which are outside the cowboy’s control. For example, the the bull for eight seconds and don’t touch anything with the judges evaluate the performance of the bulls, which often are free hand. However, there is a lot more than that to riding bulls referred to as co-participants, and half of a contestant’s score is for a living. based on the animal’s efforts. Hancock said, “The only real bad Riding bulls with names like Sugar Bear, Blueberry Wine bull to ride is one that won’t buck.” and Jelly Roll might seem fun and exciting. Some professional Tommy Keith, assistant supervisor of Pro Officials of the cowboys even make it look easy, but the sight of a cowboy’s Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association/ProRodeo, said, hand hung up in his rope while the still-angry bull viciously “While the crowd is watching the cowboy just hang on to the stomps him, kicks him, hooks him and drags him around the bull, the judges are watching at least 12 separate characteristics arena — commonly known as being “rag dolled” — makes of the bull’s actions.” These include, but are not limited to, bull other ways to earn a living quickly come to mind. spin, rear, kick, fade, lunge, jump/kick with spin, jump/kick in The true desire to become a bull rider often starts early. “I straight line, shoulder roll, speed, rhythm, drop and power.

  • Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President
    OPEN LETTER TO RESIDENTS of OKLAHOMA Dear Professional Bull Riders, Inc. (PBR): Attention Randy Bernard~CEO of PBR and Ty Murray~PBR President I am writing to urge you to eliminate the presence of ALL tobacco sponsors and messages during your bull riding events. Professional bull riding has moved into ranks of world-class sports and the eyes of the public are now fixed on the PBR athletes, who serve as heroes and role models for youth across the United States. Simply put, children emulate the actions of adults they admire, copying their habits-both good and bad. I have been involved with the sport of bull riding for over 20 years as an announcer, broadcast and print journalist, radio personality, spectator and, most recently, as a spokesperson for Buck Tobacco Sponsorship’s National Tobacco-Free Rodeo Project. The Buck Tobacco program targets rodeos and bull riding events throughout the country with requests to eliminate tobacco sponsorship. (www.bucktobacco.org). I have visited with over 150,000 children across the country to talk with them about the sport of bull riding, along with the importance of leading a healthy lifestyle. Tobacco is not part of a healthy lifestyle and should not be part of bull riding. Numerous churches, schools and community organizations across the country are joining me in the pledge to support a tobacco-free PBR. Many of these individuals regularly attend PBR events with their children, and are disturbed by the tobacco messaging that is reaching kids at your otherwise family-friendly event. Would you encourage or allow your child to use tobacco products? Medical research chronicles the increased likelihood of heart disease and cancer as a result of the use of tobacco products.

Since I was a college graduate, single, broke, and living with my dad, I felt like a failure. It was one of the most depressing periods in my life but eventually I found the rodeo arena. I started riding bulls and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I was worthy. Rodeo is not like other sports. In most sports, the athlete shares the stage with many other people at the same time. In basketball, football, baseball, and track and field, there is never a time when a participant can be confident that every single spectator is watching nobody else but him. In rodeo, every competitor gets his or her moment in the sun.

  • Dekalb County, Illinois: a Local History Project for Second Graders Danielle Bell and Mary Beth Henning
    Social Studies and the Young Learner 19 (3), pp. –11 ©200 National Council for the Social Studies DeKalb County, Illinois: A Local History Project for Second Graders Danielle Bell and Mary Beth Henning Allie’s group of second grade stu- dents was mulling over a complicated book with a lot of text and no pictures. “Here’s something about Isaac Ellwood’s family!” she said excitedly to her group members. “It says he and his brother opened a hardware shop.” The second graders paused in their research and quickly added this new fact to their note cards. A week earlier, I (D.B.) had been skep- tical that second graders could handle the responsibility of using primary and secondary sources to research signifi- cant historical figures in the history of our county, DeKalb, Illinois. Now, as I watched students actually doing the work, I shared their enthusiasm. When kids are motivated, they can do just about anything! This “complicated book” was The Barbed Wire Saga1 written by a local historian, Steve Bigolin. Earlier in the week, I had obtained this book from the local public library. Though we had dis- cussed how to use an index when using such a book, I prepared in advance by tabbing the most relevant pages and pas- sages for the students. A preservice teacher was leaning over the book, helping the children struggle through the difficult reading to discover this information about the Ellwood fam- ily and their livelihood. agricultural community, DeKalb has a town Chicago. Barbed wire was invented history that offers a rich opportunity here.

  • Illinois Historical Markers of Dekalb County
    Illinois Historical Markers of DeKalb County Three self-guided driving tours This tour booklet is made possible by a generous grant from The Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation. © 2018 DeKalb Area Agricultural Heritage Association, Inc. Layout, production and printing provided by Marcia Thompson, Graphic Matters. Introduction DeKalb County is a region rich in creativity, innovation and historical significance. This booklet provides information for three self-guided driving tours of the historical markers within the county that mark significant events. These tours focus on historical markers that commemorate an event or person of significant historical interest, differing from the National Register of Historic Places that recognizes significant buildings. The historical markers have been divided into three tours based on geographic location of the markers. The location of each marker is shown on a map at the beginning of each tour. This tour booklet is provided free of charge through generous grant support from the Douglas C. and Lynn M. Roberts Family Foundation. The content of “Historical Markers of DeKalb County” is possible through the contributions of Sue Breese, DeKalb County Historian, and the Joiner History Room, who provid- ed historical pictures and information for many of the markers. Modern photo- graphs were taken by photographer Bob Myers, Hawk Aerial Imagery, who also developed the maps for each tour. Marcia Wilson provided crucial proofreading assistance. Their participation in creating this tour booklet is invaluable. Special thanks to the many people who were part of organizing and developing the markers and recognizing the historical significance that we can admire today.

Communication from Public Name: Date Submitted: 05/17/2021 01:38 PM Council File No: 20-1575 Comments for Public Posting: Please Do NOT Ban Rodeo and Bull Riding in Los Angeles! This ordinance is unnecessary – PBR already takes great care of the bulls!! - The health and safety of the animals in bull riding is paramount. These animal athletes get the best care and live a great life – extending four to five times as long as the average bull. - PBR stock contractors make their living by breeding, training, and working with their animal athletes. They truly love these animal athletes, treat them as a member of their own family, and have many safeguards in place to ensure their care. - The bulls in PBR are not wild animals forced to compete – they’re bred and trained for their jobs. Bulls buck because of their genetics. They are not abused or coerced to compete. The flank straps and dull spurs used in PBR do NOT harm the bulls. - In addition to bringing millions of dollars of economic impact to LA, bull riding teaches important values like hard work, charity, respect, responsibility, and honesty. The sport is inclusive and promotes equality.
