GARDEN CITY — For years, Bear Lake has been a popular summer spot for those looking to cool off.

Now, a development team hopes to make the area a year-round destination with construction of the $42 million Waters Edge Resort, to be at approximately 90 South and Bear Lake Boulevard on the shores of Bear Lake.

The developers intend to unveil the plans at a noon ceremony Thursday at the site of the resort. Gov. Gary Herbert is scheduled to attend.

GARDEN CITY PARK, N.Y. -- Out of nowhere, a deranged gunman shoots into a crowd of innocent victims, firing until bystanders tackle him as he tries to load a new clip of ammo. Six people are killed and several injured; one person suffers a head wound but survives to face a long period of rehabilitation.

That shooting on a Long Island Rail Road train in 1993 inspired Carolyn McCarthy, who lost her husband and saw her son paralyzed, to run for Congress. And the more recent shooting at an Arizona shopping center with which it shares eerie similarities has thrust her back into the spotlight as she seeks to outlaw the high-capacity magazines believed to have helped both gunmen.

McCarthy has been doing this for so long that she answers the Second Amendment question on gun ownership before it is asked.

"Many people are saying, 'Oh, you're taking away our rights to own a gun,'" McCarthy said. "This has nothing to do with taking away the right of someone owning a gun. The Supreme Court already came out and said everybody has a right to own a gun. The large-capacity clips, though, should only be for our police officers and our military."

GARDEN CITY -- An accident that killed a 35-year-old Clearfield man was the first accident at the summit of Logan Canyon that Utah Department of Transportation officials can recall.
