Good morning, Ogden.

Marshall N. White Community Center, nearly a year old, will host its first First Friday Art Stroll popup showcasing local pottery by students and instructors on Friday; the popup runs from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. and the stroll from 6 to 9 p.m. (Ogden City Arts press release).

Yesterday, AAA reported that gas reached $4.01 per gallon nationally while Utah’s average hit $4.199, with prices rising amid global oil supply concerns.

The surge followed escalating conflict in the Middle East that disrupted key oil routes.

Ogden officials are considering how Ogden-Hinckley Airport (a key local facility) can join the uFLY program to test advanced electric aircraft soon.

The effort will guide local transportation upgrades as Utah leads a federal pilot with partners from other states.

Starting May 6, synthetic and enhanced kratom will be banned in Utah retail stores while whole-leaf kratom remains available for adults in smoke shops.

Manufacturing synthetic kratom will also be outlawed beginning May 6, 2027, as officials work to reduce opioid-like overdose risks.

A coalition of local groups announced a harm reduction vending machine project that will install 10 machines at key sites in Ogden to offer naloxone kits, fentanyl test strips, hygiene items & safe sex supplies.

The project aims to reduce overdose deaths and gather usage data to plan future installations.
