The decision was the culmination of months of research and a survey with more than 50% of the town’s residents responding. Survey results showed that 50.4% of the residents had responded. Of those respondents, 85.8% were in favor of a recycling program while 90.3% were either in favor of or indifferent to the proposal. After a lengthy discussion, the issue was voted upon.

Sorenson Huntsville Candidate Backs Out of Mayoral Race Mayoral Candidate Chris Stevenson has backed out of the Huntsville mayoral election. Members of the “Our Town” nominating committee met to decide whether or not to choose another candidate, but ultimately chose to support Jim Truett in his bid for Huntsville’s Mayor. Firearms Discharged In Town Limits On September 29, just before dusk, several neighbors in the vicinity of 400 S. and 7700 E. in Huntsville heard five gunshots. No one actually saw the shooter and no one admitted to firing a weapon, so the Weber County Sheriff’s office was unable to make any arrests or issue any citations. The shots were possibly an attempt to scare or frighten small children, and it is the second such incident near the location in the past 18 months. Discharging of weapons in town is strictly prohibited, and residents are urged to call 911 if they hear or observe any firearms being discharged therein. Parents are also urged Rock Run Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists Announces Shoe Drive to Benefit Soles4Souls® Inc. Every nine seconds, Soles4Souls Inc. gives away another pair of shoes to someone in need. The shoe charity has earned glowing endorsements from Hollywood stars and professional athletes, but the people who truly make the non-profit organization effective are those who clean out their closets and personally drop off their “gently worn” shoes at a participating location, such as Rock Run Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists in Roy. Through October, Soles4Souls and Rock Run Physical Therapy & Rehab Specialists will be collecting your gently worn footwear and/or donations to ship the shoes to a person in need, whether they are victims of a natural disaster or subject to living in extreme poverty. It is estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closets. The charity can use each and every one of these pairs to make a tangible difference in someone’s life. “We can use the shoes taking up space in your closet to change the world one pair at a time,” Elsey said. “We need our partners in the community to “STEP UP” and get behind our call for action. It’s one of the simplest yet profound gifts you can make because it will greatly improve someone’s life in the most difficult of times,” he said.
