(Journal Photoby Joan LaLiberte) By MATT BAILEY Journal Staff Writer Pocatello cowboys Bill Aller and George Ellis are leading other contestants in steer wrestling competition, as the Frontier Rodeo enters its third night at the Bannock County Fairgrounds tonight. Aller ousted Ellis from the No. 1 spot Thursday night with a time of 4.1 seconds. Ellis Wednesday night downed a steer in 4.7 seconds to take top honors for that evening's competition. In four nights of events, some 36 cowboys from throughout the West will be competing for $2,140 in prize money in the steer wrestling category.

In the No. 3 seat for that competition is Darrel Poulsen of Ogden, Utah, with a time of 4.9 seconds. The crowd was smaller and the weather threatening Thursday night, but the Frontier Rodeo was as colorful and exciting as the night before when a capacity audience packed the Bannock County Fairgrounds. The rodeo continues tonight and Saturday at 8 p.m. with pre-shows at 7 p.m.

Tickets are available at the gate. Following patriotic opening ceremonies by the Golden State Rodeo Co. around a Bicentennial theme, Bannock County Rcdeo Board members circled the arena on horseback. The members svho annually plan and coordinate the Pocatello Frontier Rodeo include JoLynn Anderson, Julleen Pence, Barbara Hart, Dewey Doss, Keith Stewart, Tom Thompson, Jill Bickmore, Everett Alien, Don Ashcroft, Milo Toffanelli, Dee Howell, and Cora Primbs. Rodeo board president is John Spanbauer.

Pocatello's all-woman Silver Sage Riders provided intermission entertainment with precision riding and colorful arena formations. Other between-competition entertainment was by clown D.C. Cogburn and his monkeys, dogs, sheep, and brahma bull; clown and bullfighter Seth Doulton; and by the Cossack Riders, a troupe of young trick riders from Elk Creek, Calif. Brightly costumed and riding at full speed, the Cossack Riders were as much an audience delight Thursday night as Wednesday. Circling the arena, the youngsters performed tricks ranging from side and stand-up riding to actual in-the-saddle gymnastics.

The riders include Debbie Moore, 17; Mette Ellerman, 16; Karen Moore, 16; Tami Ellerman, 14; Casey Weston, 14; Troy Ellerman, 12; and Fawn Ellerman, 10. Another Pocatellan, Shirley Ankrum, took top honors Thursday night in barrel racing with a time of 17.7 seconds. Ms. Ankrum is tied for first place in overall barrel racing competition with Sherry Muir of Jerome who was Wednesday night's champion. Some 21 girls are competing in barrel racing at this year's Frontier Rodeo for $720 in prize money.

Currently tied for second place overall in the barrel racing category are Carla Hamilton of Blackfoot and Kathy Barney of American Falls with times of 17.8 seconds.

45 Stitches in His Face -All in a Day's Work Setli Doulton is a young man of many talents. To Pocatellc Frontier Rodeo audiences this week, Doulton's the red, white, and blue jean clad clown who provokes angry brahmas at the risk of flipping his own bushy red wig. But to the Golden State Rodeo he's much more. Six years ago, the Santa Barbara, native started work for Cotton Rosser of the Golden State Rodeo Co. as a part-time cowhand and truck driver.

"It was sort of a circus boy running away from home type of thing," Doulton recalls of his early rodeo career. He tried rodeo riding a few times, but decided that wasn't for him. "I guess most guys don't give up that easy," he says without regret. But as a clown and bullfighter, he has done anything but give up. "I tried it and liked it," Doulton recalls of his first bullfighting and clowning experience.

"I can't think of anything I would rather be doing." After graduation from high school, he signed on full time with Golden State Rodeo and since has become one of the funniest and guttiest rodeo clowns and bullfighters "I'm kind of an Idaho Falls native bullfighter," says the 21-year-old Doulton, recalling he worked his firsi rodeo as a professional bullfighter in that city almost three years ago. Doulton prefers to be called a bullfighter, but doesn't play down his role as clown, either. "There aren't too many good bullfighters in the business today who are also clowns," he says. In the arena, Doulton has a job more important than just making the audience laugh. He taunts and teases bucking brah- mas to keep them away from downed cowboys and get them out of the ring.

But to save a cowboy's hide, he sometimes has to sacrifice some of his own. "I've really been pretty lucky," Doulton says of his on-job injuries. "I've gotten hurt worse out of the arena than in." Doulton's most recent injuries were July 24 while performing at a rodeo in Ogden, Utah. He was loading a truck after the show when a bull kicked down a huge door which hit Doulton in the face. The result was 45 stitches and a broken nose, but less than a week later he was back in the arena for a rodeo in Helena, Mont.

"It's not really fear," says Doulton of his feelings when facing a bull. "I just try to be aware of where. I am and where he is." Timing and aggressiveness are most important to staying aiive in the ring, Doulton believes. "The more aggressive you can get the better." Doulton hasn't gone to any bullfighting schools, but has learned the ropes in the rodeo arena. Some of his most valuable training came from bullfighter Wick Peth, "the best there is and one of the nicest guys around," says Doulton.

"But with bullfighting, you've either got it, or you don't." On the road 50 weeks a year with the Golden State Rodeo Doulton has remained single--by choice. "Why make one girl happy," he asks, "and the rest suffer?" SETH DOULTON Provokes Brahmas OBITUARIES PCRMIJ SOUGHT FOR 750 MAUDE U.

Day Care Center Loses Because Operator Lives Elsewhere By PAUL SMITH Journal Staff Writer Pocatello's city council Thursday afternoon upheld its board of adjustments in denying a day care center permit for a house at 750 Park, but for a different reason than those on which the board based its ruling 1 The board cited traffic as the "major objection." But the city council deciding the case on applicant Tammy Mai's appeal from the board ruling, emphasized the fact the operator did not plan to live in the building was what councilman Bill Roskelley called the "major problem." The vote was 4-1--councilmen John Evans, Earl Pond, and Mel Morgan joining Roskelley in the vote to uphold the board. Mayor Chuck Billmeyer cast the dissenting vote.

Members Donna Boe and Les Puree were absent. a a meeting was held to consider Mrs. Mai's appeal, after the council found Aug. 7 it could not rule at that time, because the board had neglected to cite reasons for its July 9 decision. At its meeting Wednesday night, the board listed its reasons: a traffic problem on the narrow street, noise and an increase in children, and protests from the neighborhood.

Assertions of "traffic" and "noise" did not. "cut much ice," with the councilmen. They noted a report from traffic engineer Jere Alexander of an "extremely low volume" traffic count of 289 vehicles per day in that portion of Park Avenue. Roskelley and Billmeyer both mentioned that day care centers were located near their homes and they "hardly knew they were there." Neighborhood objections were evident again at Thursday's session, with some 16 objectors seated on the opposite side of the aisle from Mrs. Mai and her adherents.

There was the usual amount of sarcastic comments. Among four objectors who spoke, Robert Oliver, 735 Park, presented a protest petition with 45 signatures. Mrs. Mai said the center would operate six days a week and would be operated at "university standards" higher than those of the city ordinance. She claimed adequate nighttime supervision would be provided by a brother-in-law living across the street and said the premises would be well lighted.

Evans first brought up the problem that unlike most Pocatello day care centers, this one would not be operated by residents of the house. He said this would incline him to be opposed, if he lived in the neighborhood. City attorney Gerald Olson said non-residence of the operator might "open up the issue of a primarily commercial operation" in a residential area." Joel G. Anderson, 950 Park, supporting Mrs. Mai, said so far as a day care center was concerned, this is a possibility that "could very well be gone into." Anderson, retired city planner and former acting city manager, said a "modest residential area" was the appropriate' location for a day care center.

Roskelley, making the motion for rejection, said that during his eight years on the council, the major problems with day care centers have been those where the operator did not reside on the premises. In another action, the council voted a 3100 contribution from city funds to the National League of Cities' legal battle in the U.S. Supreme Court against 1974 amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act which would require payment of time- and-a-half for overtime past a 40-hour week for public em- ployes. This would be a hardship on smaller cities like Pocatello, Billmeyer said, noting for example that firefighters here are on duty for a 56-hour week. Also, Olson said, the legislation would shift power of the purse from the local ballot boxes to the federal level.

The Supreme Court recently granted a stay of enforcement of the overtime amendments, pending its final decision. Republican Party Shouldn't Write Off labor, Warns Prof ByMIKEMCPEEK Journal Political Writer The Republican Party is making a serious mistake in writing off organized labor, particularly on the local level, says an Idaho State University economics professor. Dr. Don C. Reading, who teaches labor economics as one of his specialty areas, told the Bannock County Republican Central Committee Thursday night a great deal of agreement exists between the views and desires of the rank and file working man and the principles and philosophy of the GOP.

"The Republican Party's attitude toward the labor vote is wrong," 'he said. "Thinking labor isn't Republican is like saying the South is all Democratic. Labor is in a transition state, as is the South." He said the Republican Party is traditionally labeled the party of business and the Democratic Party the party of labor, but noted these labels are not accurate alignments. "What the rank and file union member wants is often different than what George Meaney wants. His wants are very similar to what Republicans want," Reading said.

Reading said the similarity of views between rank and file labor and the Republican Party has came about as a consequence of the labor movement and the nation's economic system. Briefly sketching the history of American unions, Reading pointed out that labor has moved from "a propertyless to a propertied class." Working men now own their homes and different forms of capital, often including shares in the firms they work for. said, has created a shared value system between labor and Republicans. Reading outlined some of the areas where Republicans and rank and file labor agree. --Redistribution of income: The New Deal Democrat definition of redistribution of income was taking from the haves, or more fortunate, to give to the have nots, or less fortunate.

Today the working man sees redistribution as taking from those who work and giving to those who don't work, or taking from those who produce wealth and giving to those who don't. --Foreign competition: Labor has in many cases joined management in agitating for protection through tariffs and other measures. --Environmental controls: The Democratic Party has attached itself to the movement for environmental controls. In general, labor is not supporting i a measures becase they see them as threats to job security and the productive capability of industry. --Law and order: Now that labor is a propertied class, it seeks stability and continuity of the social system.

Once antiestablishment, the union man now finds he is part of the establishment. Capitalism, the market system, is what allowed him to move to where he is now, and he sees it as a viable, good system that must be preserved. "The Republican Party has to pick up votes from labor if it is to survive," Reading said. "On a local level, Republicans who think 'unionism" and turn their backs on labor are dropping the ball. They're making a mistake." Before listening to Reading, local Republicans had a chance to ask Second District Congressman George Hansen, R-Idaho, questions.

Hansen is in Eastern Idaho over the Congressional recess and will appear at fund-raising events on his behalf in Twin Falls Aug. 22 and Idaho Falls Aug. 23. Questioned about the new Russian wheat deal, Hansen said the government is being careful to avoid a repeat of the situation when Soviet grain purchases sent food prices in the United States skyrocketing.
