Visit local working farms and see Ogden Nature Center Announces Bluegrass Concerts The Ogden Nature Center is pleased to present a bluegrass kind of summer with two of the nation’s hottest bluegrass bands—the Matt Flinner Trio on June 30 and Bearfoot on August 4. The outdoor concerts at the Ogden Nature Center combine fresh musical talent with an unbelievable summertime setting. Pack a picnic, bring low-rise chairs or a blanket, and get ready for some of the best summer nights in O-town! Matt Flinner Trio will perform Thursday, June 30 at 7:00 p.m. Cost is $17 for adults, and $10 for children 12 and under. Matt Flinner has made a career out of playing acoustic music in new ways. Starting out as a banjo prodigy who was playing bluegrass festivals before he entered his teens, Flinner later took up the mandolin, won the National Banjo Competition in Winfield, KS in 1990, and won the mandolin award there the following year. Matt moved to Nashville in 1999 and is now widely considered one of the hottest and most creative mandolin players on the acoustic scene. He actively tours in the Matt Flinner Trio. Much of their music has been written with the backdrop of the Rockies as inspiration. The Matt Flinner Trio sets a new standard for the bluegrass trio configuration. For tickets and information visit www. ogdennaturecenter.org or call 801-621-7595. Bearfoot will perform Thursday, August 4 at 7:00 p.m. Cost is $17 for adults, and $10 for children 12 and under. Call it “new-timey,” call it “post-bluegrass,” call it “string band music for the 21st century”—whatever the name, there’s a revolution under way where string band traditions meet youthful creativity; look right to its center, and that’s where you’ll find Bearfoot. The quintet, originally formed in Alaska, has made a mark, hitting the top of Billboard Magazine’s Bluegrass Album chart. Now, as they enter their second decade with a new Nashville home, Bearfoot have taken their place among the best of a new generation of musicians reshaping American roots music. Bearfoot earned one of roots music’s most prestigious awards –Telluride Bluegrass Band Champions—an honor they share with artists Dixie Chicks and Nickel Creek. With ten years, major festivals, and four albums under their belt, Bearfoot has managed to make quite a name for themselves. For tickets or more information visit www. ogdennaturecenter.org or call 801-621-7595. All concerts begin at 7:00 p.m. with gates opening at 6:00 p.m. Concerts are general admission lawn seating. Low-rise chairs, picnics, beverages and blankets are welcome. All concerts will be held rain or shine and tickets are nonrefundable. Tickets are available online at www.ogdennaturecenter.org by phone at 801-621-7595 or in person at 966 W. 12th Street, Ogden.

Sincerely, Representative Gage Froerer & Weber County Commissioner Kerry Gibson July 16 at 8:30 a.m. at Snowcrest Jr. High for a brief educational seminar on the effects and treatment of this and other noxious weeds in the Valley, and then spend from 9:00 a.m. to noon in local fields and areas cleaning up these weeds from our beautiful Valley. ROUNDUP cont. from page 1 to set aside the morning to participate in this Valley- and community-wide effort between private landowners and county and state governmental agencies. Landowners are also being asked to clean their own property of noxious weeds as directed by state law, prior to July 16 if possible. If weeds are pulled before the ground has hardened, cut or mowed down, or killed by spraying before the weed’s yellow blossoms ripen fully into green seed pods, the weed will not have to be collected, but can be left on the ground. Please note that by July 16, the weeds will have to be collected and destroyed to prevent the seeds from spreading and multiplying. This means that if neighbors clean their property before July 16, the job will be easier, and there will be much less work to do during the communitywide effort.

For arrangements, Mr. Parks can be reached at 801-399-8356. Chemical control of dyers woad can be very effective. Small land owners will want to use 2,4-D with a surfactant (an adjuvant that helps the herbicide spread on, stick to, and penetrate the leaf surface). This herbicide works well while the plants are young. Once the dyers woad is mature enough to have flowers the 2,4-D is not very effective. Large property owners will get their best control with Escort or Telar. These products are only sold in larger sized packages. They have some soil activity and one application will often control dyers woad for two years. Additional information on dyers woad can be obtained by contacting James Barnhill at 801-399-8200 at the Utah State Extension Office in Ogden, by visiting Weber County’s weed abatement web page at www.co.weber. ut.us/weeds/ or USDA’s web site at <www. invasivespeciesinfo.gov/unitedstates/ut.shtml> Ogden Valley Football Final Registration July 25-26 5:00-7:00 p.m. PRICED FOR QUICK SALE! at Snowcrest Jr. High Any questions call: Jeff and Melanie Shaw 745-0275.
