#NoFans
As protests and occasional violent unrest rocked Baltimore after Freddie Gray died while in police custody, the Orioles took an unprecedented step in American sports history by barring fans for the final game of their series against the White Sox. The first two games were rescheduled for next month.

#AncientCivilization
Construction crews working on a gas pipeline have discovered the remains of an ancient civilization in Sandy. Officials said crews working on a Questar gas line in the Sandy area uncovered something that caught an environmental worker’s attention, soot-stained rock and charcoal debris could be evidence of an ancient fire pit or a pit house and closer inspection confirmed that theory.

#WaterRestrictions
Starting May 11, Lehi residents will have some tough new water restrictions. The Lehi City Council approved the restrictions Tuesday night, known as Phase III: Severe Water Shortage. The restrictions are necessary because the city has less than 50 percent of its allotted water available this year because of the drought. More restrictions are expected to be implemented throughout the state.
