By ANDREA WAGNER DN Staff Writer Encouraging the next generation of rodeo stars, the Red Bluff Round-Up Association sponsored a free Roughstock Camp, hosted by Growney Ranch Saturday. The camp, which is put on by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Asso- ciation, gives young competitors a chance to learn with rodeo profes- sionals. “It’s nice to have professionals here to show (the kids) how to do things correctly so they don’t get bad habits,” said Joe Doolittle of Redding. Doolittle’s daughters are rodeo competitors. The youngest, Joey Doolittle, 10, was at the camp to learn more about bull and calf rid- ing, she said. Having been in rodeos for five or six years already, Joey has been rid- ing calves for three years. “I’m moving up to steers this year,” she said. Joey’s sister, Patty Doolittle, was competing in a rodeo in Cotton- wood Saturday, and couldn’t make it to the camp. Camp participants worked on livestock safety, injury prevention and management, goal setting and chute procedures, with training by professionals, who included Chad Denton of Berry Creek, Joe Ketter of Red Bluff and Dan Erickson of Snelling. All the instructors at the Red Bluff camp have qualified at some point to compete in the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, said Julie Jutten, a manager of industry out- reach for the PRCA. 2 Calif. colleges in running to host 2012 debate SAN RAFAEL (AP) — Two San Francisco Bay area colleges have been included on a list of 12 colleges and universi- ties being considered as possible hosts in the 2012 presidential debates, the commission that orga- nizes the debates said on its website. Dominican University in Marin County and Saint Mary’s College in Contra Costa County have submitted applications to the Commission on Presi- dential Debates to host one of the four planned debates. “We would receive enormous publicity, as aside from the ‘Final Four,’ debates are some of the most widely watched activities one can be involved with,” Domini- can President Joseph Fink told the Marin Indepen- dent Journal. “Institutions that have hosted debates have seen their applica- tion rates grow dramati- cally.” The university began discussing the possibility of a presidential debate after successfully hosting a gubernatorial debate between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman last year, Fink said. Democratic Sen. Bar- bara Boxer and Republi- can challenger Carly Fior- ina held a debate at Saint Mary’s last September. The other schools that have submitted applica- tions are: Belmont Uni- versity in Tennessee; Cen- tre College and Eastern Kentucky University, both in Kentucky; Hofstra Uni- versity in New York; Indi- ana University; Lynn Uni- versity in Florida; The Richard Stockton College of New Jersey; the Uni- versity of Denver in Col- orado; Wake Forest Uni- versity in North Carolina; and Washington Universi- ty in St. Louis. The deadline to submit applications was March 31. Fink said if Dominican school is chosen, it could host either one of three planned presidential debates or the single vice- presidential debate.

Children ages 10 and older were taught on bull and horse simulators and guided on ways to ride. A big draw was the bull ride simulation. Wyatt Herren, 15, of Lake Coun- ty, came to Red Bluff for the second year to practice techniques at the camp. “I’ve learned to perfect my form,” Herren said. Herren, who has only been com- peting in high school rodeos for about a year, appreciated the help, he said. Other options allowed the kids to try their hands at saddle bronc and bare back riding.

The four teens rode in matching light pink jackets and led the first lap out of the arena after the National Anthem. Jack and Patty Marymee of McArthur brought a team of five horses and riders.

She led the team in a button up shirt designed with the U.S. flag. This was the Marymee’s first time at Ride for Life. Their daughter found out about it and encouraged them to get involved. Jack Marymee said his father and several friends have had cancer. Riders came from all over the North State and even a few from Oregon. The 43 teams turned in $34,445.95 in donations and money raised, an event record, Macdonald said. The total does not include money from the raffle, silent auction, mer- chandise sales or lunch.
