New Option Sparks Renewed Debate Over Alta Library Location

A new possibility has emerged in Alta’s long-running library debate — but city leaders remain divided over where the community’s future library should go. The issue resurfaced during Monday night’s city council strategic planning session, a year after voters rejected a $1.25 million bond referendum for a new library. The November 2025 proposal would have funded a 4,200-square-foot building in the north end of the city park. It failed 315 to 208, falling short of the required 60% approval.

A Young Crew Revitalizes Gutter Care in Cleghorn

In Cleghorn, a small town where tradition often dictates the rhythm of life, a young team is shaking up the status quo in a rather unexpected field: gutter cleaning. Huff Gutter Cleaning, a business that pairs youthful energy with solid experience, is redefining what it means to offer local home maintenance services. Founded in May 2024 by an enterprising local with seven years of experience under his belt, this company is not just cleaning gutters; it’s sweeping away preconceived notions about the industry. The company’s inception was as organic as its services. The founder, who also juggles duties as an EMT and a fire school student, spent years honing his skills by helping family and friends. This hands-on beginning laid the groundwork for what would become a thriving business focused on residential properties. Despite its recent founding, Huff Gutter Cleaning has quickly earned a reputation for its high-quality, affordable services, including gutter cleaning, roof sweeping, and downspout clearing.
