Good morning, Orem.

Orem residents enjoyed Pioneer Day Weekend at University Place Mall on July 24 as fireworks lit the night sky while a regional guide details parades, rodeos and firework shows.

Other counties plan similar celebrations this weekend—each offering its own lineup of activities.

Utah County Clerk Aaron Davidson announced Wednesday that he has paused the controversial Fast Cast voting system that led to ballot discrepancies and long lines in previous elections.

The clerk said the change was made to prevent complications with the municipal and school board primary elections on Aug. 12 — the pause will remain until process changes are agreed upon with the Lieutenant Governor’s Office.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture will move hundreds of jobs from Washington, D.C. to five regional hubs including Salt Lake City as part of a reorganization to cut costs and better serve farmers and land stewards — Utah leaders say the change will lower living costs for relocated workers — with full plans yet to be finalized.

The American Cancer Society Hope Lodge is undergoing renovations to boost care for long-term cancer patients in Salt Lake City, and the organization is seeking volunteer drivers to help with appointments across the Wasatch Front—supporting both patient recovery and early treatment efforts. This ongoing work comes as more patients are diagnosed early and survive cancer.

The Red Cross of Utah is educating residents on extreme heat safety by urging everyone to drink water, seek cool places, and check on vulnerable neighbors as a heat wave raises health risks.

The organization outlined three steps—hydration, cooling, and staying connected—to help reduce the danger of heat-related illnesses.

The Red Cross of Utah is urging local donors to help ease a nationwide blood shortage as hospitals face record summer travel and severe weather challenges.

Type O donors are needed urgently and may receive movie tickets and bonus e-gift cards for donations made by July 31 — a measure designed to boost supplies — for lifesaving treatments.
