CLINTON — In the lobby of the Clinton Recreation building stands a human-sized trophy with the etching “National Youth Football League, Pigskin Tournament Champions 2007.”

The trophy, a point of pride for Clinton Recreation staff members, is also a testament to how much the recreation department has grown over the last 20 years.

Clinton Recreation Director LeeAnn Powell was recognized in April by the city council for her role in that growth and for her 20 years of service to the City of Clinton.

Mayor Mitch Adams told the roughly 10 city employees attending the public hearing that a meeting will be held later this month to address the proposed cuts along with other areas of concern.

CLINTON -- When 9-year-old Makala Anderson messed up her sign-up form for Karaoke Idol in Clinton, she thought her pop-star dreams were dashed.

To assuage her tears, Makala's father rushed back to her school to get a new form, and the crisis was averted.

Friday night's free event, organized by the budding Clinton Community Arts Board, was one of several art-centered activities the group has put together on a shoestring budget.

LAYTON -- The lobby at the new Home2 Suites is not called a lobby, it's called the Oasis.

Geared toward extended stay guests, the Oasis in the Home2 Suites is more like a living room or a coffee shop with a large comfy banquette, tables for working and computer stations.
