This may include only fee parking areas, no parking along highways, and more accurate boat counts as it relates to water levels. An ordinance change requires two readings and a 15-day education period before it can be adopted. With the first reading held May 16, the second reading is scheduled for May 30 at 10:00 a.m. in the Weber County Commission Chambers in the Weber Center (280 Washington Blvd., Ogden). If passed on May 30, the 15-day education period begins—after which, the ordinance will be officially adopted and enforced. ordinance states: “Alcoholic beverages and the drinking of alcoholic beverages are prohibited in all areas around Pineview and Causey Reservoirs except in designated overnight camping areas and marinas.” This means that alcohol will still be allowed on boats (in accordance with state law), and in Anderson Cove and Jefferson Hunt campgrounds. A majority of law enforcement issues have been alcohol related and a lot of the garbage problems have been due to beer/ wine bottles and cans. As the Forest Service updated their permit, the county also updated the enforcement piece. NOXIOUS WEED cont. from page 1 an alarming rate and has doubled in the last ten years.’” Property owners can do their part to eradicate the plant and to prevent its rapid spread by destroying the hardy plants before they go to seed during the summer season. According to the Extension Service, “Dyer’s woad can be controlled effectively by rogueing or hand pulling. This is especially true in areas that are just now being invaded or where plants are scattered. Simply cutting them off probably won’t do the job as the plant has the ability to send out new shoots if it is cut off near the ground. It is important to pull the plants before they go to seed. The importance of hand rogueing, or eradicating the tap root, cannot be overemphasized. It is one sure way of guaranteeing 100 percent control in an area. Rogueing needs to be done, however, two to three times each year MIDDLE FORK cont. from page 1 The next step is the final purchase of the property. According to Mike Canning, Assistant Director with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, final funding approval for the purchase of the property from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has not yet been received. Utah governor Gary Herbert has to provide approval also in order to proceed with the purchase. Canning stated on May 25, “Assuming we receive both of these approvals, our plan is to close on the property during the last week of June, which would make the property open to the public starting July 1. We are very hopeful that this effort will be successful . . . .” Turquoise-colored overlay in the top righthand corner shows property proposed for acquisiton by DWR as part of its WMA.

The ice cream shop is owned and operated by Henry and Julie Quinn who have lived in Ogden Valley for the past five years. The Quinns add that prior to moving here, “We were always in Ogden Valley waterskiing, fishing, skiing, eating or grocery shopping.” When asked about opening up a business featuring ice cream, Julie stated, “As previous owners of an ice cream shop, we always thought ice cream would be a nice addition to the valley’s food scene; just never found a place that seemed perfect. With the Eden Center cabins now featuring Ogden Valley Pizza and other businesses, we decided that if we were ever to open another shop, we should act now.” Julie quit her day job at the State School Board in March, signed a lease in April, and for two to three years.” Dyer’s woad can also opened the doors to Eden A La Mode May 11. “We leased one of the bigger cabins because be controlled through cultivation. Be persistent and don’t give up on pulling out the yellow flowering weed whenever you come upon the dastardly mustard. After being pulled, the weed can be left on the ground, unless it has already formed the purplish/black colored seeds. In this case, the seeds must be collected and destroyed in order to prevent further spreading. Since the eradication of dyers woad is a matter of economic survival for many, Valley residents are encouraged to do their part to prevent the spread of the noxious weed.
