Rexburg Rapids

ORIGINAL Hilarious video shows Rexburg Idaho police Segway training ending in a crash

REXBURG - Several officers from the Rexburg Police Department recently learned that riding a Segway isn't as easy as it looks.
At the beginning of the video above, Chief Shane Turman tries to control the two-wheeled motorized personal vehicle. After being jerked around, he slams into a chair and hops off.

As other police officers laugh, Turman says, Okay. There's gonna have to be a little training.
That's when Captain Randy Lewis decides to give the Segway a try.

He gets on, grasping a side table, and says, I got her.

Within seconds, Lewis crashes into a table and tumbles to the ground. His fellow officers roar in laughter.

Fortunately Lewis tells us he's doing fine and, since this video was shot, he and Turman have properly learned how to ride a Segway.

Thanks to the Rexburg Police Department for giving us a good laugh!

Rexburg Idaho water advisory to be lifted soon

REXBURG -- Commercial food services recently received an advisory to take precautionary measures with city water in Rexburg.

Through a recent sample the threshold of a bacteria type called coliform exceeded the standard of 5%, but not by much.

In order to be in compliance with the State of Idaho, and EPA drinking water quality requirements, we do 40 samples of our drinking water each month, Public Works Director, John Millar said.

Two of those samples are allowed to comeback positive for coliform, instead there were three bad samples, or 7.5%, enough for the Department of Environmental Quality to warrant a temporary water advisory on food establishments.

Millar says there are two possible reasons for these bad samples. A change in recent water usage, and a change in temperature.

We use three or four times as much water in the summer as we do the winter, so that kind of shocks the system a little bit, Millar said, Temperature has changed, and there’s some evidence that, that sometimes will free up organisms that are in the pipe.”

According to Millar the organism itself isn’t a contaminant, but an indicator of a possible contaminant.

It’s normally occurring organisms that are found everywhere in nature, Millar said.

Dylan Makemson, the owner of Gator Jacks, says business hasn't slowed down much because of the advisory.

Luckily we just switched to pure sugar glass bottle Pepsis, and so we’ve just been pushing those a lot more than our fountain drinks,” Makemson said, “We sold out of our bottled water pretty much instantly during our lunch rush, and then we had to go and purchase more just so we could keep up with the demand.

The samples were tested again Monday morning and showed zero pollutants. An additional test is required before DEQ lifts the advisory.

We have super quality water, and we do everything we can to protect that quality, Millar said.

If the final test comes back clean the advisory should be lifted Tuesday before noon.

Officials say the protocol for testing water will be changed spring of 2016.

Updates on the advisory can be found on the Rexburg.org.

Project 2021: The Revitalization of Pioneer Village - Roundup 150 Entry [A NoLimits 2 Park]

A Utah Coaster Enthusiast’s Production:

Project 2021: The Revitalization of Pioneer Village

I believe Pioneer Village to be one of Lagoon’s greatest assets. A living museum of how life was back in the late 1800’s in the state of Utah, United States. However, in 2017 it will have been 20 years since a ride was added in the area, back when Rattlesnake Rapids was added in 1997. This is mostly because of how close Pioneer Village is to the City of Farmington, Utah and the noise levels rides make. Lagoon has added small things to Pioneer Village since but no major rides. I have set this video to be for the 2021 season. For three main reasons:

1. It will be Pioneer Villages 45th anniversary at the park
2. It will be 100 years since Lagoon built their last wooden roller coaster, being Roller Coaster built in 1921.
3. It would be 6 years since the major 26 million dollar investment that is Cannibal and Lagoon typically waits 4-5 years between large additions.

I think a good western themed roller coaster is just what Pioneer Village needs. Will it ever happen? Probably not, as it is too close to the City of Farmington, Utah and the homeowners complain about the noise and wood coasters are very loud rides. I would love for it to happen but I am not holding my breath.

The S&S Screamin’ Swing I do think one ride Lagoon is missing from their collection of rides. These are great and very fun rides and as with most rides from S&S very easy on maintenance and operating costs and they are manufactured just one hour drive away from Lagoon in Logan, Utah. It is pretty much a no brainer, you would think.

The coaster design is influenced by GCI (Great Coasters International) wood coaster design but is not intended to be a GCI design. The lift is influenced from RMC (Rocky Mountain Construction) as a way to fit a wood coaster lift in an area where a traditional wood roller coaster lift could not fit or work. The lift of this ride goes over Farmington Creek and with the close proximity of the buildings of Pioneer Village; a traditional wide wood coaster lift structure would not work. Therefore, the lift structure would be constructed out of steel and able to span the creek.

The design is intended to perfectly fit in Pioneer Village and to not affect any of the buildings except one. The blacksmith shop would be moved slightly to the north of its current position for the Tunnel entrance. The Main Street clock will also receive a new flowerbed around it and new seating around it. This is mainly because for the tunnel to be constructed it would be moved temporarily. Also with the recently added Swig drink stand (2016) on the south end of the Village it would make sense to have some more seating in that area as to make it a kind of gathering place on the south end of Pioneer Village.

As you probably already guessed, a large part of the project sits on ground currently occupied by the Zoo. I have nothing against the zoo and know personally that the animals receive only the best treatment possible. However, I feel that it needs to go or be reduced in size. The land it is sitting on is very valuable space in the heart of the park and can be better utilized as my video shows but the better utilization is not limited to just my idea for the space.
I hope you enjoyed my video Project 2021 it is an idea I have had in mind for a long time and finally had the skills and ability to make it come true in the digital world, at least.

Disclaimer:
This video and concept are my own ideas; I have no knowledge of anything Lagoon is planning in the future.
