Tonight's lineup:

Draper City Councilmember Michele Weeks sent in a voice memo inviting people to a town hall on the future of the 700 acres underlying the current prison. With plans under way for a new state prison in Salt Lake City, Weeks wants resident input on what they'd like to see developed on the 700 acres at the Point of the Mountain. The townhall starts at 6:30 p.m. tomorrow night at Draper City Hall, 1020 E. Pioneer. 

Renowned professional climber Mark Twight talked about his new book: REFUGE - Effort, Environment and Emotion. The book is an accumulation of images, words and ideas experienced on mountains and the long, emotionally difficult descent back into the valley towards ordinary life.
