Perry—With winter fading off, there has been several winter activities with the Young Women and Young Men at the Perry 3rd Ward.  Back on January the 27th, they all went for a winter fun night of ice skating.

Perry--After hearing rumors of wonderful new farm supply with great animal feed prices I simply had to stop in and check out TSC Tractor Supply Store in Perry. When I stepped in the doors I was greeted by friendly faces and surrounded by an amazing assortment of country clothes, unique candies, toys and of course everything you could want for your farm or ranch. Stephanie Carlisle, the store manager, expressed that not only do they want to take care of the farmers and ranchers needs, but they are there to become root and branches in the community.

Northern Utah--Thanks to big government, the days of “chestnuts roasting on an open fire” will soon be a thing of the past or levied a large fine.  The Division of Air Quality in Utah is seeking to strip away the freedom of choice in Utah.  Utah is about to institute a mandatory no burn action when they feel the pollution is building up to unhealthy levels during winter inversions. The regulations would cover nearly every county in Northern Utah including Box Elder County and Weber County.

In 2013 the Utah Legislature mandated parental review of SAGE test questions and established what is now called the SAGE Parent Review Committee. It was a response to concerns that the computer adaptive tests could include biases or agendas that are objectionable to Utah family values.

Email from Molly Foster (written to the other members of the 15-parent committee to review SAGE test questions)

… In the spring when I was made aware of the USOE putting words in my mouth I contacted Judy Park several times, through email and phone messages to no avail until I sent a more honest email to her one day, she immediately responded. I will enclose our emailed conversation.
