I wholeheartedly concur with Bren Edward’s November 1 Letter to the Editor in The Ogden Valley News regarding the Weber Fire District Budget and the proposed tax increase. I received the Notice of Proposed Tax Increase in the mail today. The proposed tax increase is 36%! What a disregard for the taxpayer. Wages have been stagnant for nearly a decade and we all have to prioritize and make due. The administration of the fire district needs to operate within the same realities and constraints of the public it serves. Administration should revisit the budget, prioritize its needs, and come up with a revised budget and tax increase that is much more reasonable. Jim Vetter, Liberty Thank You Ogden Valley for Supporting This Year’s 5th-annual Snowcrest Halloween Carnival The Snowcrest PTO Halloween Carnival was a remarkable success. The support from the community was exceptional and made for a spirited event. While this evening community event was full of entertainment and fun, it also helped raise over $4,300 including sponsorships and carnival sales. These funds are used for Snowcrest PTO activities, including student scholarships, funding for the science fair, classroom enhancements, and club or department grants—to name just a few. Student Council members, cheerleaders, club members, and other students were a driving force behind this event. They organized many of the booths, helped set up and take down the event needs, and, of course, spent two hours scaring visitors in this year’s spook alley! Staff from Waypoint Academy in Huntsville also came and brought their extraordinarily talented students with them to create the scary faces for each student in the Haunted Hallway. We appreciated their efforts, and also the parent volunteers who staffed the booths and pitched in to help wherever they were needed. We could not have done it without all the extra help. Also, thanks to Principal Hardy and the custodial staff at Snowcrest for all their extra time and effort towards making the event a success. A special “thank you” goes to the many local businesses and individuals who sponsored the carnival. It was their contributions that If you would like your submitted items returned, please send a stamped, selfaddressed envelope.
