Ogden Valley monument saved from demolition

A piece of Ogden Valley history has been saved.

Since its unveiling in 1984, the Indian Trails Monument, which recounts and commemorates the past, has stood at the top of the North Ogden Divide as a reminder of the network of trails’ long history.

But in 2010, after weeds had grown around the site and lime stained some of the plaques, the U.S. Forest Service gave an ultimatum to the Ogden Pioneer Chapter of the Sons of Utah Pioneers, who, along with the Boy Scouts of America, erected the monument.

“They sent us a letter that if we don’t fix this thing up, we’re going to tear it down,” said Carlton Schultz, director of public relations for SUP.

Sex ed bill goes against philosophy of Utah code: Be prepared

E. Kent Winward Standard-Examiner

Last updated Friday, March 16, 2012 - 10:37pm

Be prepared. While this motto works for Scouts, the law enforces preparedness by requiring classes and education that must take place in order to access various legal remedies and privileges.

House Bill 363, which is awaiting Gov. Gary Herbert’s signature (or veto), would prohibit local school boards from educating our students on the full spectrum of reproductive health, harshly limiting the discussion of sex to abstinence and within marriage. (Note: Herbert vetoed the sex ed bill late Friday night, after this column was written and posted.)

In this image from contributed video, Bryan Farnsworth, 49, is seen in an ankle-length tie-dyed skirt with a pink shirt, blazer and tie during a Saturday night Lincoln Day Dinner in Tremonton. The declared candidate for Congress in Utah’s 1st District, who told the audience he is bipolar, was accompanied by a dog. He may be cited for misdemeanor assault and disorderly conduct because a Utah Highway Patrol trooper was injured while escorting the agitated Farnsworth from the hall. Also, Farnsworth made comments about the president’s military policies and called Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, and U.S. Rep. Rob Bishop traitors.
