This photo taken by Matt Parker of Liberty shows an adult cow moose in the North Fork area near Durfee Creek. Summer is almost upon us and school is almost out. And that can only mean one thing . . . it’s time once again for the annual Ogden Valley Charity Garage Sale! Ogden Valley’s 11th Annual Charity Garage Sale will be held Friday, June 19 and Saturday, June 20 at 9520 E. 400 S. in Huntsville. Each year, over 100 families donate items to the Charity Garage Sale. All of the proceeds from the Charity Garage Sale go directly to local charities—The MakeA-Wish Foundation of Utah, Ogden Regional Infant Demise Foundation, McKay Dee Labor and Delivery Bereavement Foundation, and others. The proceeds are donated to these causes in memory of several Valley infants and children who have passed away in the past few years. The leftover items are donated to the YCC, a center for abused women and children, the Deseret Industries, and the Salvation Army. Over the past ten years, the garage sale has made and donated over $32,500 with over $7,800 donated last year alone. For the past few years, the Charity Garage Sale has been able to fully sponsor a Make-AWish child. It currently costs $5,000 to grant a wish for a child. We hope once again to be able to fulfill a wish for a local child with a life-threatening illness, plus make the annual contributions to the hospitals and other charitable causes. The garage sale was started in 1999. That year, six-year-old Elisabeth Hillstrom was diagnosed with brain cancer.

Health officials remind parents that state law requires all Utah school children to receive chickenpox vaccinations before they enter kindergarten. As required by law, the health department may be asking unvaccinated students to stay home if they have been exposed. Many of the students had not received recommended booster vaccines and those who were previously vaccinated are experiencing much milder symptoms than those who have not been immunized. “Vaccinated children may still experience a very mild form of the disease because they did not develop adequate immunity against the virus,” says Gary House, director of the Weber-Morgan Health Department. “This is why we recommend vaccination boosters for added protection.” Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease that typically peaks in winter and early spring. Symptoms include fever, runny nose, and painful or itchy skin lesions. Individuals are infectious before the symptoms become apparent and can spread the disease until the lesions have scabbed over. “Individuals who have not been vaccinated subject themselves to a higher risk of contracting the disease and suffering potentially life-threatening complications,” House says. For more information or to be vaccinated, contact your primary care physician or the Weber-Morgan Health Department at 801-399-7252. The cost for the vaccination is about $85 and is covered by most insurance plans. The Weber-Morgan Health Department also participates in the Vaccines for Children, a federally funded program for children under 18 who are uninsured or who qualify for the state’s CHIP or Medicaid, or are of American Indian descent.

Countdown to Saturday, May 23–Farmers & Artists Market in Old Town Eden is at Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, which has a Type 2 agency license where they sell alcohol as a secondary product in conjunction with other types of income-producing sales. According to Lyman, they are wanting to get out of the alcohol business. In a May 4 Standard-Examiner article, Lyman stated that because selection is limited in the Valley, residents of the community often need to drive to Ogden for a wider choice of alcoholic products, and he wants to change that by opening up a liquor store. He stated that the demand from both residents and tourists is high in the Valley.
