Here's your local news at a glance for Tuesday, the 2nd of September.
Good morning, Ogden.
A once decaying area of the Botanical Gardens was transformed into the Path of Hope memorial garden on Sunday evening in observance of International Overdose Awareness Day—marking two years of fundraising and community work with purple flowers honoring those affected by opioid overdose. The garden offers a quiet place for hope, remembrance and recovery.
In Ogden, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah struggled to buy the right supplies as extreme weather and hotter summers led to more injured and starving birds—making it harder to predict patient numbers.
Executive director DaLyn Marthaler said that ongoing climate changes will continue to challenge the center's ability to care for injured wildlife.
The Ogden Raptors have been 1-6 since trading catcher Chris Sargent to the Padres and suffered a walk-off loss in Idaho Falls on Sunday, leaving them with a narrow chance at the playoffs.
They return home today to host the Boise Hawks through Sunday and will hold fan appreciation events on Saturday with pregame music + tributes to local heroes.
