July 8, 2020 Update

Good afternoon, everyone.  Fortunately, it has been a little quieter today.  Still lots of meetings, but it has been a bit less intense, at least for me.  Thanks again for all you do to make our community better and our quality of life second to none!

CORONAVIRUS STATS

Nationally, the CDC reports 2,982,900 cases with 131,065 fatalities.

NEWS YOU CAN USE

  • Marc Sanderson has been sworn in as the new Fire Chief for Orem City. You can read the article about him here.
  • PopDish is a new Utah-based app that does more than just telling you where to eat. The app actually focuses on finding the places that offer the dish you want. Check it out here.
  • One man who allegedly fired a gun at a motorist during a Provo protest and another who reportedly aimed a gun at the vehicle are now facing felony charges. Jesse Keller Taggart, 33, of Salt Lake City, has been charged in 4th District Court with attempted aggravated murder, a first-degree felony; aggravated assault and discharge of a firearm causing injury, both second-degree felonies; and rioting, a third-degree felony. Bradley Glenn Walters, 29, of Ogden, has been charged with aggravated assault and rioting, third-degree felonies. Taggart was booked into the Utah County jail on June 30 and released on Friday after posting $32,180 bail; Walters was booked into jail on Wednesday and released a day later after posting $5,930 bail.

FUN STUFF

The One Voice Children's Choir is a Utah treasure.  They have been at several Provo events, and they always steal the show.  This cover of Memories is awesome and a good way to end the day and this post!


Have a great rest of your day and we will talk again tomorrow!
