(ANTHONY SOUFFLE/Standard-Examiner) Floodwaters from the Weber River surge onto Serge Simmons Field, the former home of the Ogden Raptors, knocking down the fencing and eroding the riverbank Friday. The bicycle path on the park’s east side has also been destroyed. Because the baseball field is still in bad shape, tournaments and city recreation teams have had to find other parks in Ogden on which to play. Officials say they don’t know if the park will be restored next year because of the cost and ramifications of government regulations regarding the alteration of the river’s flow.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. -- The largest wind energy producer in the Altamont Pass area in California's Alameda and Contra Costa counties has agreed to replace 2,400 wind turbines within four years and pay $2.5 million in a legal settlement to reduce deaths of eagles, hawks and other raptors hacked by turbine blades.

The settlement between NextEra Energy Resources, the state and several environmental groups was announced Monday by state Attorney General Jerry Brown.

One environmental leader praised the deal a model for producing wind energy while minimizing the heavy toll the whirling turbine blades take on hundreds of raptors each year.
