		<description><![CDATA[In many respects, this hasn’t been a great year in Davis County and with the weather hampering the harvest, it hasn’t gotten a lot better lately either.
Let’s just forget all of that stuff for a couple of hours Friday night. Let’s band together in a show of community and school spirit and pride. Let’s overflow [...]]]></description>

Change the subject and there will be people who would say, “We shouldn’t finish the hospital.” There are people who also say, “We shouldn’t do streetscape [...]]]></description>

If you listen to what some people say or read what they write, they seem to consider the school board as some sort of far off enemy or worse.

We should keep in mind that the seven people who make up the school board are neighbors, friends and loyal Davis County residents. They ran for the [...]]]></description>

A comment added to the story on our online front page about the closing of American Welding and Tank wonders why we reported a few weeks ago that the plant and others in Bloomfield did not have employees laid off.
