Mayor's Message
Celebrating the Priceless Impact of Our Volunteers
I want to express my deepest appreciation for all the volunteers who made our Cherry Days celebration a success. There were varying degrees of participation, with several volunteers contributing over 400 hours of service to our community, all without pay. Without question, this was done because their hearts are focused on keeping North Ogden a GREAT PLACE TO LIVE! I also want to thank the city employees who worked diligently to support the various activities during the week. Additionally, kudos to the city council members who were present at many of the activities. It takes a village to pull off a celebration like we experienced. Utah has consistently ranked as one of the top states for volunteerism. One may ask why this is the case— volunteerism is a powerful force for good. It not only enriches the lives of those who give but also those who benefit from the service of others. I believe people serve because they have compassion for others, or they want to unify their community and they appreciate civic engagement. The citizens of North Ogden have a genuine concern for the well-being of others, and it was evident during our week of celebration. Our community is
“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart.”

a major contributor to the high ranking of Utah. I was impressed with the diversity of those who volunteered. They came from different political parties, religious backgrounds and social beliefs. It truly exhibited the spirit of “ONE NORTH OGDEN.”
Winston Churchill said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” There are many opportunities for service in our community. Serving at our senior center, reading to students at our local elementary schools, and participating

on numerous committees in city government are just a few examples. I understand we all have busy lives and yet as we mature, we are faced with the question, “How will we measure our life?” We are never too old or too young to help others and make our lives more meaningful. I encourage each of us to reflect on what we can do to help enhance the well-being of our community.
By way of information, there has been some concern of residents regarding the city’s support for continuing our senior center. The city has been firm in the support of those who have contributed so much to our community. The city recently signed a contract with Weber Human Services to continue operating the North View Senior Center and is engaged in developing a longterm plan for its continued operation. We thank Zella for her many years of service and welcome the new director, Jill Garner, who was appointed by Weber Human Services. We also thank Pleasant View City for their monetary contribution in support of the seniors.
In closing I quote a statement that was made by an unknown individual, “Volunteers are not paid—not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless!” I agree 100%.

Employee Spotlight
Nina Brown
BY KATIE GERARD
Nina recently celebrated a significant milestone in her career with North Ogden City, celebrating ten years of service in our justice court.
Serving as a court clerk, her day consists of helping individuals navigate the “seemingly complicated legal process,” after receiving citations such as a speeding ticket. Her goal is to make the legal experience as smooth and understandable as possible, knowing that this can be a confusing and challenging experience.
Nina’s prior knowledge as a court liaison and legal secretary has helped her excel in her role enabling her to provide exceptional customer service, compassion, and professionalism to anyone who steps into the office.
A fun fact about Nina is that she has a passion for graphic design and has put her talents to paper while creating flyers and documents for our police department! She’s very creative and is a perfectionist when it comes to this skill set!
An outdoor enthusiast, Nina enjoys camping, biking, and standup paddle boarding—anything to connect with nature! She’s fascinated with true crime stories and loves spending time with her family and friends whether it’s in Utah, Jackson Hole, or the Big Island.
Barker, Nina’s supervisor, sums it up best: "Nina is truly beloved by her coworkers and is a great friend to everyone." Nina's contributions to North Ogden City as a court clerk have made a significant difference by enhancing the city's legal processes and fostering a positive work environment.
Thank you for all you do, Nina, we appreciate you!
Social Summer Family Activities
By Lily Lutz-Youth Council member
Summer is here, giving us the perfect opportunity to spend time with our families. Grab mitts and a ball and play catch at a park. Catch doesn’t sound fun? How about pickleball? Right behind Straw Market in Pleasant View, are some pickleball courts. The location makes it perfect to grab a sweet treat, or lunch, after playing. Just about any sport can be a fun social
activity that you can do with the whole family. However, if sports aren't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other activities. We are lucky to have a variety of parks in our community, such as Pleasant View Park, Barker Park, Shady Lane Park, North Ogden Park, and many more, where you could go have a picnic or just play on the playgrounds. Along with the variety of parks, there are also many trails that you could go hiking on (one of my favorites is Waterfall Canyon).
Arts and crafts are a fun activity that can create some fun family bonding. Grab some sidewalk chalk and make a lifesize board game or you could just have fun decorating your driveway. If you're not afraid to get messy, you could put on all white, fill up water guns with dye, and have a water gun war. Another messy idea is to lay down a white poster board or large piece of paper and cover your hands and feet in paint, then search for a video on YouTube and do some yoga. No matter what you do, the important part is enjoying the time with your family. I hope this gave you some fun ideas!

BY RYAN SPELTS
Sometimes I just love eating a calorie-packed, greasy cheeseburger. It’s one of my favorite foods. Too bad it isn’t considered a diet food, otherwise I would be super fit! Still, picking my favorite burger is tricky. This taste test is not scientific by any means. We were simply looking for our favorite burger. Having only one bite does make it hard to decipher which is the best tasting. It becomes a bit like testing perfume because all the options tend to blend. Nevertheless, we decided we would try to figure out our favorite burger spot in Weber County. If we missed your favorite, please let us know. We would love to try them out.
I picked a winner in the video and the burger was good, however, when we went back to Bob’s Burgers in the New Gate Mall, the results weren’t as good the second time around. The burgers were still good, but maybe a bit of a diminishing return on the spices on the burger. Plus, the soda machine put out flat soda with no ice, and the fries were mid. So we changed our top choice from the video for this list.
The rules were that the restaurants needed to have a drive-through or be quick-order style with no wait staff. The businesses had to be located in Weber County and likely owned locally, and they couldn't be large chains like McDonald's or Wendy’s. Here are the choices we purchased for our taste test.
GriDeli’s
Burly Burger
Jim’s Burgers
Bob’s Burgers
Andy’s Greek
Nielson’s Frozen Custard
Warren’s Drive-Thru
The Burger Bar Kirt’s Drive-in
The Donut Run & The Soda Run
Taste is also subjective, so we encourage you to check out all these places and decide which one is your favorite. We try to stay positive in the magazine. While any of these places would be good options, we are providing this information to help you decide where to go next time you have a hankering for a burger. We intend no harm to any of the places listed, and we want each of the local spots to be successful.
1
HERE IS WHAT OUR TASTEBUDS HAD TO SAY...
Burly Burger $9.49 (Rating 8.5)
Burly Burger is the second most expensive sandwich on our list next to Andy’s. Andy’s does come with Fries no matter what, so the pricing is actually pretty similar. The ingredients taste fresh and the bun is nice. We really enjoyed the sandwich and have gone to Burly many times. It is a bit expensive for regular visits, but we always enjoy it when we do. We scored this burger just slightly less than Bob’s Burger in the test. However, after experiencing the full sandwich a few weeks later, we are moving Burly to the top rating. There is a slight aftertaste that I experience with Burly Burger, which isn’t quite unpleasant, but also isn’t my favorite. Still, this is the overall winner of our test. We give Burly Burger an 8.5 out of 10.
2 GriDeli’s $7.69 (Rating 8.4)
This is our close second place choice and we go here often as a family. Again, not inexpensive but a good burger that is seasoned well with a classic sesame seed bun. I personally love mayonnaise on a burger and they use mayo here. If you don’t love mayonnaise, this isn’t the burger for you. We also love the Cajun Chicken sandwich from here and some of their fancier burgers too. Freshly cooked to order, so it takes a minute, but this place is consistently at the top of our date night list.
3 The Burger Bar $7.75 (Rating 8.2)
Another great bun here that tastes homemade. They say they bake them every day and you can tell. We love homemade burgers. Burger Bar has some unique offerings and their burgers are quite good. Not my personal favorite, but I wouldn’t complain if that’s where we went for lunch. They also have unique meats each month. You should definitely give The Burger Bar a try. The fries are also good here.
4
Bob’s Burger $6.73 (Rating 7.8)
This burger tasted really good in our initial taste test, however, we decided to take the family out a couple of weeks after the taste test and it didn’t deliver as well when eating the whole sandwich as I explained above. I still recommend giving them a try. It seems like a very small locally owned burger joint but the sandwich tasted really good in our test. It was one of the last ones we ordered, so freshness off the grill could have been a factor too.
5 Neilson’s Frozen Custard $5.64 (Rating 7.5)
I am not a big fan of overpowering mustard. I like it, I just don’t want to eat something that tastes only like mustard. This burger was mustard-heavy. However, it was one of our favorite buns. The bun on this burger elevated the score for this one. Tasted homemade and was still a good burger. If you are like me and want light mustard, I recommend asking for that when you order a burger here. The other flavors were good in this one and the price isn’t bad either.
6 Warren’s Drive-Thru $6.49 (Rating 7.5)
Long-time local restaurants have even expanded throughout the area and also have Warren’s Craft Burger which is one of our favorite local burger spots, but they were eliminated from this contest because it is a sit-down restaurant and you have a wait staff helping you and we focused on quick order places. From Warren’s Drive Thru, we enjoyed this burger, and it was one of the freshest-tasting burgers we ate. The produce was fresh, and the burger was juicy.
7 The Donut Run & The Soda Run $5.45 (Rating 7.2)
Soda shops are quite common in Utah and so when the sign went up for this new restaurant earlier this year, we assumed they would only sell donuts and specialty sodas. About a month ago, they put up a sign that said they now have burgers and hotdogs, so we decided to throw them in the mix. The meat patty was by far the smallest of the burgers we sampled. The buns are very good and the burger is the 2nd lowest price of our purchases. Side Note: This is a local family creating this restaurant. The donuts are excellent and I recommend giving them some support. I really want to see them succeed. I hope they get a thicker beef patty here because I think their rating would go way up if they did.
8 Andy’s Greek $11.99 (fries included) (Rating 7)
We like this restaurant and have enjoyed Greek kabobs in the past. The burger seemed under-seasoned but still tasted good and fresh, just not our favorite seasoning, or the lack thereof. Note: To order from Andy’s you cannot just drive through. You must call ahead and order, then pick up at their drive-through.
9 Kirt’s Drive-In $7.49 (Rating 7)
This is a fun, semi-famous local drive-in. Featured in several movies with a building straight out of the 50s. A few years ago, they were purchased by the folks who own Peach City in Brigham City. This is another underseasoned burger. The produce was really fresh and delicious but the burger patty could use some seasoning in my opinion. It is still a fun experience to hit the drive-in at Kirt’s, plus their selection of shakes is awesome!
10 Jim’s Burgers $5.49 (Rating 7)
This is another restaurant that combines American burgers with Greek food. Interestingly, the burger tasted less like a typical burger and a lot like Greek food. Although I love Greek food, I don’t necessarily want my burger to taste that way. The burger was still good and quite edible, so I recommend giving it a try if you want to try all of them.
That concludes our best burger search for Weber County quick-serve restaurants. We would love to hear what you think or what your favorite burger is. We love helping local small businesses and hope you will support them too. I find sometimes it takes a little more patience, but worth it to help someone succeed.

Iremember visiting the North Ogden Museum for the first time. I love stories of the past, and a few stories told that day left an impression on me. Florence Manning’s story was one of them.
Florence was a teacher in North Ogden for many, many years. Someone from the museum said it was around 70 years; however, we couldn’t verify that.
Florence was born in North Ogden to Newman H. and Esther Barker. After graduating from the 8th grade in 1908, she attended Weber Academy in Ogden, Utah. While there, she met Nephi Heber Manning from Slaterville and later married him. He was going to school to be a draftsman. Florence’s father told them they could have a wedding party or take $25 to help get them started. They took the money.
Florence Manning
A Life of Dedication and Adventure
TURNING BACK THE CLOCK
Florence described her husband as tall and “extra good looking” with dark hair and blue eyes. He was “jolly” and nice to be around. He had a wonderful tenor voice and often entertained audiences between acts of play or at church meetings. He was a model for the boys just younger than him.
A year later they had a cute 8-pound baby boy. They named him Melvin Nephi Manning. Life was so good. They lived in a cute one-room house next to Florence’s parents. The views

A five-star facility committed to your five-star experience
around their home were breathtaking. One morning, Nephi went out to the barn to feed his horses. After feeding them he had to cross through his father-in-law’s horses to get out of the barn. A couple were fighting, so Nephi waited until he thought they were done. As he crossed their paths, he was kicked in the stomach by one of them. Back in those days, there was nothing anyone could do to make him better, he knew he would soon die of his wounds. He was so sad that he was going to leave his sweet family. He kept kissing Florence, telling her how sorry he was for leaving. He died four days after the accident. Florence was a 22-year-old widow with a twomonth-old baby. She never married again. She raised her baby (Nephi) and taught the children in North Ogden. Florence was an adventurous woman. She loved Yellowstone, camping, hiking, and taking pictures. If you ever have a chance to visit the museum you should check out her photos. There are hundreds of them detailing her adventures and life. I am impressed with her years of service; especially how independent she was.

By now you have heard about Roof Maxx. It is a revolutionary spray-on oil that rejuvenates your asphalt shingles, giving an extra 5, 10, or even 15 years of life to your roof. This can save you thousands over traditional roof replacement. If your roof is 12-15 years old, we would love to give you a free inspection to determine if now is a good time to apply Roof Maxx. It is also a great add-on to a home that has solar panels installed, keeping your roof in place longer saving the extra expense of $6000 having to remove, and then reinstall the panels when your roof eventually needs replacement.
Roof Maxx is the best alternative out there. It returns flexibility and life to your shingles. The product is a soybased oil that soaks into the asphalt and reinvigorates it. That flexibility allows your shingles to continue to breathe and expand and contract to give your home the protection it needs.
We perform a free, no-obligation roof inspection, take photos, and show you what is happening on your roof. To schedule please call or visit our website.
Net metering has changed. Your solar power is now being sold back to Rocky Mountain Power for pennies on the dollar. There is too much power from peak times and it is going to waste.
This makes batteries a wise investment for homeowners because you can capture your own solar production and save it for when you need it. Currently, there is a 30% tax credit where you get a dollar-for-dollar credit on a battery that will help pay for its purchase. This is in addition to the current rebates which are the highest they have ever been from the manufacturers and Rocky Mountain Power of up to $7000.
A battery will eliminate your power bill to nearly zero and it will give you total control of your system. These batteries give you what is called a virtual powerplant essentially creating your own grid giving you what you always wanted from your solar system…power independence.
These batteries are 40,000 charge cyle warranty and getting one comes with $0 outof-pocket costs. Plus there are no project fees through ES Solar’s unique financing options. To learn more please call...

10 medium basil leaves
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Salt & Pepper

Mix tomatoes, basil, parsley, mozzarella, olive oil, garlic, and dash of salt and pepper. Allow to sit at room temperature while you prepare the bread.
Place bread slices under a broiler for 1 to 2 minutes or until the bread is very lightly toasted.

Top the bread slices with ¼ cup of the tomato and mozzarella mixture.

Cowboy Caviar
PHOTO AND RECIPE BY KRISTINA CASE, ADAPTED FROM THE SIMPLE VEGANISTA.COM
This delicious mix of fresh veggies and seasonings can be eaten as a dip, served with tortilla chips, used a side dish, or as a salad.
1 can (15-oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can (14-oz) corn, drained
2 red bell peppers, finely diced
1 jalapeno, finely diced (a few seeds are ok)
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 large or 2 small avocados, diced
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
Juice of 2 large limes
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
First, make the dressing: in a small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Set aside.
Drain the corn and black beans, add diced red peppers, jalapeno, onion, cilantro, and avocado in large bowl. Pour the dressing over the top and toss well to coat. Taste for flavor and add more salt or lime juice if needed.
Eat right away or let the salad rest in the refrigerator for a few hours to let the flavors mingle. Leftovers will stay fresh for up to 4 – 5 days in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Fresh Raspberry Lemonade
PHOTO AND RECIPE BY KRISTINA CASE
This is like summer in a glass! My family had the pitcher gone in no time.
1 1/4 cup sugar
6 cup water
1 cup ice
1 pint fresh raspberries
1 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice (about 7 lemons)
In medium sauce pan, combine 1 cup water, raspberries, and sugar. Cook until warm and bubbly and mash raspberries with fork. Pour the mixture over a strainer to remove seeds. Cool. In a large pitcher, combine fresh lemon juice with 5 cups water and ice. Mix in raspberry syrup. Depending on the raspberries you are using and their sweetness, you might want to taste and add more sugar at this point. Refrigerate before serving. Garnish glasses or pitcher with raspberries and lemon slices.
VARIATIONS: Blackberry raspberry lemonade: use 1/2 cup blackberries and 1/2 cup raspberries when making syrup.
Raspberry Iced tea: Use 5 cups of brewed ice tea instead of water.
