The new ordinance now gives the county a legal tool to enforce an ordinance that prohibits the storage of junk, inoperable, or abandoned vehicles on their property unless the property is located within a manufacturing zone. The ordinance defines junk, inoperable, or abandoned vehicles as follows: “ . . . includes any trailer, semi-trailer or motor vehicle not currently registered and licensed in this state or another state that requires licensure, that cannot be legally operated on a public road in its existing condition because the parts necessary for operation, such as, but not limited to, tires, horn, brake lights, windshield, engine, drive train, driver’s seat, steering wheel or column, gas or brake pedals are removed, destroyed, damaged, deteriorated, non-operative or nonconforming.” For property owners in Ogden Valley who may have a vehicle as described located on their property, salvage yards are usually willing to come to your property and remove the vehicle free of charge if the vehicle has a valid title. If the vehicle does not have a title, one can be acquired through the Division of Motor Vehicles. There are also a number of charitable organizations that accept vehicles as tax-deductible donations. Valley Residents Make Candles for a Great Cause Mary Jane Markle of Huntsville hosted a candle-making soiree in her garage Saturday, June 2. After losing her dear friend Molly Armstrong to breast cancer last year, she decided to put her efforts into supporting the Cancer Wellness House—a non-profit organization that offers hope, learning and friendship to anyone whose life has been affected by cancer. Molly had introduced Mary Jane to the Cancer Wellness House, both of whom having used the organization’s services. About 30 young women and adults came to the candle-making event. Certified instructors Misty and Kristen Samuels taught the volunteers how to make the candles. About 100 candles were produced on June 2, and many sold at the Eden Swap meet held June 9. The remaining candles are now available for sale through the CANDLES cont. on page 12 |
