Here's your local news at a glance for Friday, the 13th of June.
Good morning, Ogden.
Since November 2022, community volunteers have managed the Weber Fridge behind Fiction at 2717 Washington Blvd to offer free 24/7 access to essential food items—people in need can drop off donations like water, canned goods, and hygiene products without delay.
Advocates urged Sens.
Lee and Curtis to back an amendment to revive the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act after the program expired last summer — the change would expand payments to downwinders hurt by nuclear tests. Gov. Cox said he hopes Congress will act during budget reconciliation to restore benefits for new claimants.
Tomorrow, the first-ever Red Bull Soapbox Utah race will take place at the State Capitol Building as teams from Ogden and beyond race homemade, gravity-powered cars down Main Street.
All teams must drop off their vehicles for a pre-race inspection on Friday (at the Capitol) before performing a skit and navigating turns, jumps, and obstacles.
