I am a little late for my appointment with Codie and Heather Braegger, husband and wife co-owners of Defiance Martial Arts in downtown Brigham City. Fortunately for me they don’t mind and are very gracious as they welcome me to their training hall. The dojo (what they call martial arts training halls) consists of two rooms featuring padded floors and mirrored walls further decorated with various martial arts paraphernalia. I notice that the space is not as large as other dojos I have visited.

Fun in the sun for all

            As the summer days come to a close, it’s always fun to look back at the activities we were able to enjoy. Several of these probably included getting wet in order to stay cool, especially since it was a very hot and dry summer. But let’s face it; water parks are not the cheapest places to go to, especially if you have a large family. So what’s the alternative? Splash pads of course. And with one located in Harrisville everyone can have the opportunity to cool off, without having to spend an arm and a leg.

Increasing your taxes without notice?

Ogden School District is asking voters to vote in favor of a 29% property tax increase during a special election on June 25, 2013. According to a resolution posted on the School District website, this tax rate increase, from 0.001240 to 0.001603 per dollar, is to “fund the repair, maintenance, and operation of the Ben Lomond High School and Ogden High School swimming pools.”

How does a secluded “Little Valley” nestled within the slopes of the majestic Wasatch/Cache National Forest sound to you? 

If you are looking for a charming location to visit, look no further than Mantua, Utah. 

Mantua has some of the best fishing, boating, waterskiing, camping, ATV trails, hiking, biking and spectacular scenery that Northern Utah has to offer.

BRIGHAM CITY – Classes are out, the school day is over and Box Elder Middle School technology teacher Matt Williams still has to push the robotics club members out the door.

“They’re all my favorites,” Williams said during a recent interview in the technology classroom. “All of them will go far.”
