MAKING HISTORY TODAY..... Since January 2020

We doubt anyone would have imagined the year 2020 being so eventful.  Some of us knew that the future would bring some tumultuous times.  However, a Pandemic?  Amost  everyone we have talked to thought some of the obvious events to occur were:  Forest Fires, Floods, Earthquake, Economic Depression, War, Etc.

Well we did have the earthquakes in Magna which was pretty major for those in the Salt Lake Valley.
Last year and the year before we had major forest fires and then because of the fire-burn scars, many had flood problems.  And no doubt our dollar has been devalued because of the major expenses due to the Corona Virus pandemic.  A recent windstorm did much damage throughout the county, blowing down trees and power lines and even blew a roof off  a house in the southeast end of town.

We also most recently have been overwrought with crime mostly due to those who protest racism in our country.

Governor Gary Herbert asked us all to obey the mask rules that are currently in place.  As we have become a little too confident about being out in crowds. And now so many areas are having a resurgance of the epidemic.  Utah is one of the states seeing a drastic increase in numbers

The Moroni Turkey Processing Plant now require both face masks and face shields for their on-line workers.  The face masks alone are very uncomfortable and now the addition of a face shield will be even worse.  But most want to keep their jobs and will wear both to stay working.

The Processing Plant has now had five workers tested positive for the corona virus.  They are no longer working there and all employees have their temperature taken before entering the plant.

The Moroni Heritage Credit Union is now closed because one employee was diagnosed with the corona virus and all other workers have been quarantined for 14 days.  There are however other Heritage Credit Unions locally in Mt. Pleasant and Ephraim that are still open. 
The insert below is statistics from June 24th.  So it is a little outdated.  Each night we hear of thousands of deaths around the country.
