The atmosphere of the salon is truly one of a kind. This is a place to kick back, relax and get that make-over you’ve always wanted. What unites these three businesses and their extraordinary owners? Beyond friendship, they are driven to provide quality products with an emphasis on finding and accenting the client’s own unique style. The three also have a desire to help support the community and, when brainstorming for a worthy cause, settled on the YCC Women’s Shelter. Through their efforts, these successful business women will be helping women who come from all walks of life and who just need a lift to get their–and sometimes their children’s–lives back on track. The YCC was founded in 1945. YCC stands for Your Community Connection.

First, said Utah Highway Patrol Trooper Don Sagendorf, a car coming down the canyon hit the ice and rolled over. In response to the accident, UHP Trooper Clint Christensen showed up. He pulled his car to the side and radioed for road salt. Sheila Jones YCC and you get a great night out as well. The fashion show will begin at 6:00 p.m.–be there for the event of the year! Wherefore Art Thou Sir Winston Poochelot? by Shanna Francis Watch out Milton Bradley, student entrepreneurs in the sixth grade at Valley Elementary are launching a new game board with an English 16th century theme. The students have worked very hard, creating the game board that comes with marker pieces and cards that contain the answers to 250 questions about Shakespeare, his works and plays and the Elizabethan era. The students are marketing the game set to raise money that will be used to create and construct a new nature center/ outdoor classroom in front of Valley Elementary. The nature center will incorporate indigenous trees, shrubs and plants. Cedar benches will provide seating for forty students or more. The nature center will also be made available for the community’s use and enjoyment. A kick-off date for the project has been scheduled for Arbor Day at 9:00 a.m. The sixth grade is looking for help from the community to participate in construction of the project–church, civic, scout or other groups. And of course, the students are looking for “buyers” for the game– Wherefore Art Thou Sir Winston Poochelot?. For $10, you will be able to become a proud owner of this community created game, and probably be able to learn all you ever wanted to know—and more— about Shakespeare and his day. To support the school by purchasing a game, or if you would like more information about volunteering, contact Michelle Evans or Jane McVaugh at Valley Elementary, (801) 745-3713. And, if you happen to be driving by the school on Arbor Day, and see large mounds of dirt being moved around, prepare to stop, roll up your sleeves, and come lend a hand! Before the call was answered, another vehicle coming down the canyon hit the ice and slid into the patrol car, causing several thousand dollars in damages. Fortunately, the morning’s damage was confined to metal. Both drivers and the trooper escaped without injuries, Sagendorf said. The Ogden Canyon Waterfall The waterfall at the mouth of Ogden Canyon has become quite a landmark and attraction for local residents and visitors. The beauty of falling water cascading over the rugged rock cliffs is inspiring and beautiful. In winter the ice formations can be spectacular. Some, of course, speculate as to where the water originates. The truth is, the water is overflow from a 75 inch pipeline that runs down the canyon from Pineview Dam to the canals that feed water to the residential and agricultural users along the Wasatch Front, from Washington Terrace, all the way north to Brigham City. The water comes through a pipe tunneled through the mountain in places, and is eventually diverted from the 75 inch pipeline to the two canals at the bottom of the canyon–the South Ogden Highline Canal, which is seven miles long, and the OgdenBrigham Canal which is 24 miles in length. The pipeline carries the water to the lower valley after passing through the UP&L Pioneer Hydroelectric Plant located at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. The waterfall also acts as an emergency relief valve for the canals and the Pioneer Plant in case of a shut down or failure in the system. In this case, the water will back up and flow over the waterfall into the Ogden River, rather than damage the hill side or the homes in the surrounding area. This is why it is essential that people stay off of the water fall area and nearby hillside–the flow, in a matter of minutes, can go from a few cubic feet per second to several hundred cubic feet per second. |
