The two Democrats seeking the party nod for the U.S. House District 1 race are already campaigning against the incumbent Republican rather than each other.

Ryan Combe, of Ogden, and Donna McAleer, of Park City, are lashing out at both five-term Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Brigham City, and the Washington D.C., establishment.

"I don't think Rob Bishop even knows who his constituency is anymore," said McAleer, depicting him as a professional campaigner enmeshed in the Washington world of career politicians. "I certainly believe Rob Bishop is vulnerable, and I believe I'm the candidate who can beat him."

OGDEN — In times of crisis, there are ordinary people who step up to help others without looking for reward or praise.

Some run into a burning building to rescue loved ones, others gather to pull victims from a car in a freezing river, while some just wait with a fatally injured woman until help arrives.

The American Red Cross of Northern Utah honored community members who displayed acts of courage and selflessness at the 2012 Heroes Award Event Breakfast on Wednesday at Union Station.
