Gator Demolition employee Robert Rhoades practices roping a steer dummy in the parking lot of a downtown motel Wednesday evening after work. Rhoades and three other crew members from Joplin, Mo., are in town to demolish a building at a local concrete company. "The work's going to take a couple of months," the weekend ranch hand said.
