Woods Cross Launches Vision for Transit-Friendly Future

Woods Cross City is inviting residents to help shape the future of transportation and development around its FrontRunner station. The new Station Area Plan aims to make the neighborhood more walkable, bike-friendly, and connected through improved transit options like buses, streetcars, or even light rail.

A key focus is turning an unofficial dirt path—frequently used by commuters—into a safe, paved sidewalk or bike route. The city is also exploring upgrades to 500 South to serve as a more welcoming entrance to the community.

Residents can share their ideas on station amenities, transportation access, and development through an online survey. City leaders hope this effort will lead to a more vibrant, transit-oriented community in South Davis County.

TODAY! Wear Your Life Jacket To Work Day! —- Making a Splash at Work: Farmington Park & Rec Promotes Drowning Awareness with a Twist

Don’t be surprised if your coworkers show up in bright orange vests tomorrow—it’s all part of Farmington’s splashy push for water safety!

Farmington Parks & Recreation is inviting everyone to join in on “Wear Your Life Jacket to Work Day,” a fun and eye-catching way to raise awareness about drowning prevention. Whether you're at a desk, behind a counter, or working outside, the message is the same: safety around water matters.

As summer approaches and water activities ramp up, the city is making waves about the importance of wearing life jackets and being alert near lakes, pools, and rivers. This lighthearted campaign carries a serious reminder: drowning is quick and often silent, but it’s also preventable.

All are encouraged to join the movement, snap photos in their life jackets, and share them online using hashtags like #drowningawareness and #safetyfirst.

It’s a small gesture that could help save lives—and make for some great office selfies, too.

Couple Scammed in Fake Pregnancy Scheme by Utah Surrogate

A woman from West Valley City, Utah, is facing criminal charges after allegedly deceiving a couple from Washington, D.C. during a surrogacy arrangement. Teresa Mertes, 33, is accused of faking aspects of her pregnancy and using false medical claims to extort over $20,000 from the couple.

Investigators say Mertes threatened to end the pregnancy unless she was paid more money and later falsely claimed she had miscarried. She also allegedly demanded additional funds to release medical records and for the remains of the fetus, which turned out to be a lie—the baby was born prematurely at 33 weeks after Mertes reportedly refused necessary medical treatment.

Authorities discovered inconsistencies in Mertes’ medical history, including false reports of a stillbirth and undisclosed past complications. She is now charged with extortion, attempted extortion, and attempted theft by deception.

Massage Minute with Chelsea 💆‍♀️✨

Stop Letting Trigger Points Take Over 🎯😣

Those “knots” in your shoulders that never seem to go away? They’re likely trigger points—tiny, tense muscle fibers caused by overuse and poor movement patterns. I use targeted techniques like trigger point therapy and deep tissue massage to release them and help restore proper function.
