Happy Tails dog boarding and Saratoga Feed have had consistent problems with sewage backing up on their property since earlier in the year, and the owner of at least one of the businesses, Happy Tails, is frustrated with the situation and what she sees as the town dragging its feet to fix a sewer line o...
If attendance at a July 18 meeting of the Carbon County Library Board (CCLSB) was any indication, the contention and controversy that swirled around the board in recent months may be waning. With an audience of less than five not counting media and guest presenters the CCLSB hired Jacob Mickelsen to serve as new Executive Director of Carbon County Libraries. Mickelsen is inheriting a challenging set of circumstances following the abrupt resignation of his predecessor, Bobbie Morgan, and the depa...

It’s back to the drawing board for both Triple D Construction firm and Trivest Enterprises. The fates of two separate development projects likely hinge on zone change amendments that have to pass through the Saratoga Planning Commission, and neither got the nod from the commission at a July 12 meeting attended by around 10 people. Rory Grubb normally serves as chair of the planning commission, but since he was representing Trivest at the July 12 meeting, he recused his spot at the table early o...
At a July 14 meeting of the Saratoga Airport Board, Dave Shultz of Sage Engineering said that a taxilane rehabilitation project that contractors had been working on since spring passed final inspection and is effectively complete. Now all that’s left to figure out is who owes what. As reported at a June 19 Saratoga Town Council Meeting, the total price tag for the project was around $660,500, but 90 percent of that cost was assumed by the federal government and an additional 6 percent was c...
The Encampment Town Council meeting Thursday wound up going to the dogs, with two-thirds of the hour-long meeting being devoted to issues surrounding packs of unattended dogs running amok in the town. Council members and local residents debated how to deal with the problem of the loose dogs after a local resident, Shawn Frink, told the council his girlfriend was bitten on the leg while outside. The animal ultimately was put down by the Carbon County Sheriff’s department. Frink and other residents, as well as some members of the town council e...

Riverside Town Council met on Thursday to iron out some housekeeping issues in the small town, and very quickly worked though the agenda.

Margaret Weber, owner of the Bear Trap and council member, abstained from the vote. The board also discussed aerial spraying for mosquitos. Earlier in the month, the...
