Show Page 12 The Ogden Valley News Volume XXIX Issue XIII May 15, 2022 Second Annual Charity Recital Benefitting Ogden’s Underserved Please join Dr. RJ Bunnell on the guitar and John Durig and Dr. Dave Tensmeyer on the piano as they present a charity recital on the evening of Friday, June 11. A hundred percent of the proceeds will be donated to the Seager Clinic, a free medical clinic in Ogden. A special thanks to Rock House Financial, who will match up to $5,000 in total ticket sales, doubling the impact of your donation. The Seager Memorial Clinic was founded in 1988 by a few like-minded health care professionals who wanted to help Ogden’s homeless and underserved. It has grown to become a 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing over 1,200 patient visits each year thanks to a volunteer force of 170 physicians and providers, dentists, nurses, medical assistants, phlebotomists, pharmacists, pharm techs, front desk, and other volunteers. The clinic offers free physician/provider visits, dental care including extractions and partial dentures, psychiatric mental health care, comprehensive diabetes management, custom prescription eyeglasses, foot examinations and care, immunizations, lab work, cancer screenings, wellness education, case management, and prescription and over-the-counter medications. This is all made possible thanks to the generosity of private donors and philanthropic organizations.

The 22/23 season has two options for holiday entertainment. Grammy winners The Swingles will perform with Chamber Orchestra Ogden for the Together for the Holidays tour. Ballet West will bring Utah’s beloved holiday tradition The Nutcracker for Thanksgiving weekend. Other great options for families throughout the season include Ballet West’s production of Snow White, staged especially for young audiences, the Queen’s Cartoonists performing live to shorts from the golden age of animation, and Peking Acrobats, who the New York Post says “push the envelope of human possibility.” The season will include more performances downtown Ogden than ever before.

April Air Quality Report By Richard Menzies and Ken Beck Another clean air month in April for all monitored areas: Ogden Valley, Ogden, and Salt Lake City. We can probably attribute this to the unsettled spring-like weather conditions throughout the month. However, we did not get a lot of precipitation. Most medium- to long- range weather forecasts are predicting continued drought conditions for the West. Our next reports may start to see increased activity both from summertime stagnant air and smoke from both local fires and distant fires. As always, if you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at menziesrg1@gmail. com or nekkceb.durfee@gmail.com. The Giving Bike! Brian Smith of Liberty recently sent in this inspiring story about a bike that keeps on giving. His friend Josh, who owns the local bike shop, gave the bike to his daughter Rosie for college after it was left at his shop when the owner didn’t want to pay the $50 repair bill. Brian then explains, “Rosie used it until COVID hit when Colorado College (CC) said, “Don’t come back after spring break” in March 2020. In June 2020, they let her go back to get her stuff out of her dorm room, but there was no sign of the bike that had been left locked to the bike rack. “Because of COVID, she took the next year off of college and ski patrolled at Powder Mountain. She then went back to school fall of 2021. One day, her friend Marco saw the bike in a CC bike lost-and-found. He grabbed it, used it fall semester, then passed it onto Rosie’s friend Casey. Casey is in Europe now doing a study abroad so is not using the bike. Rosie met Sonia in her art class in March. She just started studying at CC and had no transportation as she is from Ukraine! “It was Sonia’s birthday April 25, so Rosie took her to lunch and gave her the bike! Sonia said it was the best birthday present she had ever received, and that she was going to go for a long bike ride that afternoon! Above is a picture of Sonia with the “giving bike,” the bike that just keeps on giving! Twenty Years Ago: Utah Supreme Court to Hear Oral Argument on Powder Mountain Land Sale By Shanna Francis The Utah Supreme Court will hear Petitioners’ claim that Defendants in the case, Weber County Commissioners Glen Burton, Ken Bischoff, and Camille Caine, illegally sold 160 acres of public property near Powder Mountain to Rulon Jones in February of 1997 in order to extinguish a county budget shortfall. Having lost their case earlier in District Court—Petitioners Ben Toone, Kent Fuller, Robert Fuller, Haynes Fuller, and Roger Cannon—the Supreme Court has now ruled that they will hear arguments in the case in Salt Lake City at the Scott Matheson Court House. Ben Toone stated, “We need to fill the courtroom and the street outside if we can. Mark your calendars and plan on going to Salt Lake City to witness this oral argument. We want to send a message that the public has a lot of concern about the way Weber County gave away our public park to Rulon Jones for peanuts.” The property in litigation is situated west and southwest of Powder Mountain Ski Resort in Ogden Valley. Plaintiffs claim that Defendants did not follow proper constitutional due process guidelines when they failed to give proper public notice prior to the sale of the mountain property. The Utah Supreme Court will hear the case June 4, 2002, at 9:00 a.m. The Scott Matheson Court House is located in Salt Lake City on the southwest corner of State Street and 4th South. Note: On October 25, 2002, plaintiffs celebrated the decision handed down from the Supreme Court of the Sate of Utah, which voided the illegal sale of the county’s Powder Mountain property to Rulon Jones by the Weber County Commissioners. The county also had to pay the petitioners’ legal fees. Part of this property is known today as the Powder Mountain Trail. Thank you Ben Toone, Kent Fuller (deceased), Robert Fuller, Haynes Fuller, and Roger Cannon.
