There are full-grown men, rosining up their bull ropes who started out in Mutton Bustin' at the home town rodeo. Mutton Bustin' is a rodeo sheep riding event for five to seven-year-olds. Kids are given a full grown sheep to ride from the chute into the arena for a short time. In roping parlance, it's catch-as-catch-can; kids are allowed to hold on to the wool, the sheep's neck -- hook their legs around the belly. All they have to do is make a short, good ride. The Fiesta Days Rodeo Queens and the Diamond Fork Riding Club members surround the kids and help them in their ride.

Bill White of Goshen has lost some trees. He didn't just lose them - someone took them. White and his family were preparing some land a few miles west of Eureka for building a home. They had carefully removed the trees that would be in the way of the new building. They had left some of the larger pinyon pines for shade. Last Thanksgiving, the last time they were there, everything was as they had planned. When they got there this week, about fifteen trees were missing.
