I’m not one to go shopping. My wife likes to gather groceries and finds my involvement more annoying than helpful. I rarely go online, and I’ve never been in or dropped a dime in a Walmart. I try to make an impact on my local economy by supporting local businesses whenever possible and I ask […]
Women have two celebrations going on right now in Utah: 1) how we got the right to vote on local and national ballots 150 years ago and 2) that Girl Scouts was established here (in Ogden) 100 years ago! You might be hearing a lot right now about Suffragettes and the Equal Rights Amendment in […]
I finished out high school at Wasatch Academy in Sanpete County. I was sent to this small private school to ‘reform’. I graduated with dreams of going to medical school and got accepted to the University of Utah.

Some places have even gone the route of free-far or zero-fare public transport funded by national or local government taxes or even private […]
City folk bitch and moan about the high price of housing in Zion all the time. Face it, kids, we’ve been discovered by the tech world and supporting industries and people are moving here in droves. When there’s high demand, there’s high prices for both rentals and purchases. You think YOU have it bad? I’m […]
