LAYTON — Several churches in Davis County have forged a special bond, despite differing religious beliefs, because of something they do have in common — the desire to help those in need.

Since the late 1980s, five congregations — Layton Hills Baptist Church, St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church and Mountain View Baptist Church, all in Layton, and St. Peter’s Episcopal Church and Clearfield Community Church, both in Clearfield — have combined their resources to help those in need of emergency food throughout northern Davis County.

OGDEN — City officials believe a new policy will make private donations more transparent and allow for better money management.

On Tuesday, the city council voted to amend the existing Capital Improvement Plan ordinance to include a stipulation on donations.

From now on, any private donation of more than $30,000 going toward a city capital improvement project will have to be approved by the council.

How is a sick 12-year-old girl like an accused cop killer?

Charles F. Trentelman Standard-Examiner

Last updated Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 8:13am

When Utah told Matthew David Stewart’s parents to stop raising money for their son’s legal defense, my first thought was: Has it gotten this nasty?

The shooting of six cops, and the death of one, was bad enough. But in 34 years, I have never seen my community so torn. People think the cops can do no wrong, or got what was coming to them. People think Stewart is evil, or misunderstood.
