One North Ogden

F

or those of you who have read my previous articles in the North Ogden Connection, the phrase “One North Ogden” will sound familiar. I have been asked by several citizens what this means? I’d like to take this opportunity to give you my definition of this phrase.

The de facto motto of the United States is E Pluribus Unum, which means: one from many. This motto appears on the Great Seal of the United States of America and is indicative of the original Thirteen Colonies emerging as a single nation. Each colony may have had a different culture with different ideas, but they united for a common purpose. Our community is also comprised of citizens who have different ideas. However, I believe that no matter how long someone has lived in our community, most have a common goal of keeping North Ogden a great place to live.

"Being 'One North Ogden' doesn’t mean we are homogenous in thought and opinions. It simply means To me, it doesn’t matter what religion someone professes we are unified in or what color of skin they have. It doesn’t matter their working towards political affiliation or their sexual preference. It doesn’t keeping our matter if they are female or male. We can be “One North community a Ogden” when it comes to working together to improve our safe, beautiful community. We are each other’s friends and we should and a prosperous avoid letting people divide us by age, income, race, and where we live in North Ogden. Being “One North Ogden” place for us doesn’t mean we are homogenous in thought and opinions. and future It simply means we are unified in working towards keeping generations to our community a safe, beautiful and a prosperous place live." for us and future generations to live. The definition of one from many is applicable in our community–one purpose, many ways to get there!

The Autumn season is upon us and Halloween is just around the corner! I hope each of us will take the opportunity to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. Several have suggested that I dress up as the Mayor and go trick or treating. I think I’ll pass on that request and just continue to do the best I can to serve our community. However, there are many in our community that would appreciate a social distanced visit so perhaps doing a little trick or treating (so to speak) isn’t a bad idea. I’d encourage you to reach out to those who are in need.

I recently read the following: "In a world where you can be anything , choose to be kind!" I believe this is great advice and will help us in our goal of being “One North Ogden”.

Have an outstanding October!

Mayor Berube

City of North Ogden COMMUNITY QUESTION CORNER

BY JON CALL, CITY MANAGER/ATTORNEY

Resident’s Question: What are the rules related to Accessory Buildings?

Answer: We get lots of questions about accessory buildings and additions. As we all know garages are routinely filled with items and vehicles and we need more space. Some have opted to construct stand-alone accessory buildings and others have chosen to expand their existing garage to accommodate additional space. Though the rules are slightly different for each of the different types and here are some general statements that may help you decide which is the best route for your needs. First, for all accessory buildings over 200 sq. ft. or any additions a building permit with engineered approved plans is required. In general, additions can add some flexibility which isn’t available on accessory buildings as far as setback and building heights are concerned. There are also some fire code issues to be considered based on whether or not the building is attached. We also recommend you discuss your plans with your neighbors who might be able to provide a different “viewpoint” for your project and could reduce friction in the future. The Building and Planning Departments are always willing to answer questions please call them at 801-7827211.

If you have questions about proper procedures, city code, building permits, community events, how-to's, or other city-related questions, please send an email to jcall@nogden.org.

North Ogden City Planning Dept. & The Cherry On Top

BY LYNNE BEXELL

Thank you Rowan!

It was a quiet morning in the North Ogden Parks and Recreation office; the parks crew were out working hard while the office was full of people engrossed in their work.

Suddenly the office door opened and in walked, a young man with a cando attitude and a contagious smile.

Have you ever wondered what is happening to a particular property while driving in North Ogden?

New signs, like the one Occasionally, the Planning Department gets phone above, will be calls from residents after they noticed that something posted to help was going on at a particular property that they had you be aware driven past. We found that they didn’t realize that of changes property had been rezoned or that a subdivision had coming. been approved.

When considering changes to property, the Planning Dept. regularly mails notices to neighbors, publishes in the newspaper, and posts meeting agendas and still people would be surprised when changes happened to property in their neighborhood. The Planning Dept. spent some time talking about how they could be more proactive in letting people know what changes are happening to property. They decided to post physical signs on the property before changes were made that would alert passers-by that something was changing.

From now on when a project is going before the Planning Commission, the Planning Dept. will post signs to help you be aware of possible changes to land.

The North Ogden City Planning Dept. is doing more than is normally required to help residents know what is going on in our City so we recognize them with “The Cherry on Top!”

Rowan had just finished his 9th grade year at North Ogden Jr. High School and had a proposal for the City. Rowan likes dog training and mountain biking on the North Ogden trails. As he enjoyed these trails he noticed some people had a difficult time cleaning up after their dogs.

He quickly set out to remedy this. He approached the front desk in the Parks and Recreation office and offered a proposal to help keep the trails clean.

The North Ogden City Planning Dept. is doing more than is normally required to help residents know what is going on in our City and so we recognize them with “The Cherry on Top!”

After reviewing his proposal and seeing that he was willing to work, the park’s crew countered his proposal with a part-time job offer. His job was to keep the trails free of dog waste. He kept the trails clean and even started picking up any trash along his trails. Rowan has earned The Cherry On Top by showing his willingness to go above and beyond his job duties throughout the summer. We have received several reports of appreciation for his hard work. Rowan has shown himself to be authentic, pro-active, and a hard worker.

<< The home of the Barkers, a singleroom log cabin on 2351 Fruitland Drive.

The Family Behind "The Stump" Fountain:

THE BARKERS

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

“They built a one-room log cabin in 1853 and raised their eleven children there.”

J

ames Barker was born to Frederick Barker and Ann Bligh on April 7,1827 in Diss, Norfolk, England. James was three years old when his family decided to go to America, hoping for better opportunities. They set sail in 1830 to live and work in New York for about 15 years before they came in contact with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When James was 18, the whole family was baptized.

In 1846, the family left New York to go West to Utah, which meant they were among the very first pioneers. According to the Church website, that same year, 240 members in New York and other eastern states decided to set sail out of Brooklyn to try to sail around North America to California. The Barker family decided, instead, to travel by land and arrived in the Salt Lake valley after about a year. Their neighbors who decided to sail were met with storms that threw the ship off course and delayed their voyage. In the end, the ship touched port, and all the members settled in California. As for the Barkers, they settled in North Ogden in 1849.

northogdenconnection.com | October 2020

James lived in Farr's Fort, which was an actual fort north of the Ogden River and east of Monroe Boulevard. It was an enclosure with three sides of end-to-end houses meant to protect families like his from indigenous people. There, he met Polly Emeline Blodgett and married her on March 9th, 1851. They built a one-room log cabin in 1853 and raised their eleven children there.

Polly’s family history mirrored her husband’s; they hailed from England, had an encounter with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and crossed the plains to Utah.

Her skills were in medicine. She could do everything from delivering babies to prescribing herbal medicines and even setting broken bones. Early settlers and indigenous neighbors recognized her as a doctor. She officially studied to be a midwife in Salt Lake City once her eleven children were grown and received her license in June of 1893. She continued to practice into her seventies.

In 1856, James left his family upon the request of President Brigham Young to help emigrants in the Martin Handcart Company. Due to exposure to extreme cold during this rescue trip, which occurred in November of that year, he contracted a crippling form of rheumatism that would plague him the rest of his life. He eventually lost the full use of his hands. James’ name is listed among the names of rescuers on the monument at Martin’s Cove in Wyoming to honor his selfless service.

“His condition did not prevent him from developing one of the finest farms in North Ogden on Fruitland Drive,” his great-great grandson, Casey Barker, said.

James planted the first red apples grown in Utah. He also dug five large wells throughout the town.

According to the North Ogden Museum, these wells were known to produce forty gallons a minute. James’ grandson, Clarence Barker, carried on the well-digging legacy of his grandfather, and, in the early 1930’s, created “The Stump” drinking fountain in North Ogden’s Centennial Park. Originally, it was an actual cottonwood tree stump chiseled into the drinking fountain, but after the stump rotted, it was replaced with a fiberglass replica in 1998.

James was a dedicated Church member and friend. He was always industrious, and he bestowed an important work ethic on his children and grandchildren.

James died on December 14th, 1915, and is buried in the Ben Lomond Cemetery in James Barker (left) with his wife Polly North Ogden. Casey Barker, his great-great Emeline (Blodgett) Barker (right) grandson, still lives in the area.

Fall Fun! Eyeball dig anyone? Here are some game and activites to enjoy the fall season with your kids.

Donut on a string game

Hang a line across an area. Protect the floor with a tarp, if indoors. Hang donuts from the line and let the kids try and eat the donut off of the string without using their hands (blindfolding is even better).

Pumpkin Painting/Carving Contest

If you spray paint the pumpkin with some primer, you can make some very fun designs with water paints.

Bowl full of candies

Children can reach in blindfolded and guess what candies they feel.

They get to keep any they get right within a time limit.

Mystery Bowls

Eyeball Dig • Make a big pot of spaghetti noodles and let cool.

• Hide some grapes, or toy eyeballs in the pot of cooled noodles • Blindfold your victims and time how long it takes them to find all the eyeballs Mystery Substances Put these items in a bowl for a blind-folded kid to guess what it is • Pudding in a baggy • Slime/ silly putty • Jello in a baggy

Guessing Bowl

Use an old jam or peanut butter jar and fill it with Jelly Beans, Starburst or another candy. Whoever gets closest wins the whole jar. This is fun for a family get together or party.

If you are like us, 2020 has been and continues to be a roller-coaster. One of the most popular holidays for small children is just around the corner and we know for some of us, if not most of us, are a little nervous about trick or treating despite the standard mask-attire of that day. Here are some fun ways to add to the season, or to replace trick or treating at your house if you would like. Since Halloween is on a Saturday this year, you could make a day out of it. We hope you have a safe and fun halloween this year.

SLIME! There are countless recipes for slime

on line. This one would take a little bit of prep, but we have had full-on slime parties before.

There are even different consistencies. Get some purple and orange food coloring and you have yourself some Halloween slime.

A Classic!

If you have a clean bucket, you can always do the old fashioned bobbing for apples. Fill with water and apples. You just need something deep enough to keep bobbers cant leverage the apples on the bottom of the container.

4 Auto Enhancements You Should Consider POSTED BY LISA D. - ACUITY

Life is full of surprises. There are bad surprises—like when your new shirt shrinks in the wash. And there are good surprises—like when you find $20 in your pocket.

Here are four optional car insurance coverages you may have, or that you could add to your policy, to help turn a potential bad surprise into a good one:

KEY AND LOCK REPLACEMENT. Have your vehicle keys ever been lost or stolen? The cost to replace vehicle keys and locks can add up and is not typically covered by a standard auto

insurance policy. Opting for this insurance coverage could help lessen the financial burden during an already stressful situation.

PET INJURY. If you travel with your beloved pet, check out insurance coverage that pays expenses if your furry family member is injured in an auto accident.

RENTAL CAR. Your auto insurance policy may automatically provide the same coverages and limits that apply to your vehicle to a vehicle you rent. However, if you’re involved in an accident, the rental car agency may require you to pay if the rental vehicle cannot be rented out to others or becomes less valuable. Adding loss of use and diminution in value coverages to your auto policy can save you a bundle if your rental is wrecked.

TRAVEL EXPENSES. An accident far away from home is never convenient. You could end up having to pay for unexpected transportation, meals, or lodging. Insurance coverage could help pay for these extra expenses to reach your original destination or return home.

These enhancement-type coverages sometimes have their own endorsement form and must be purchased separately. Like buying items in bulk or combining home and auto insurance, it may be a better value to purchase a set of enhancement coverages listed on one endorsement form for one price. Ask your insurance agent about auto enhancement coverages today!

If you've even lost your keys you know how expensive replacements can be.

Consider insurance coverage to help with the cost.

A Guide for Using Credit Cards Using your credit cards responsibly is a great way to boost your credit score and your financial wellness!

full. At the end of each billing cycle, the cardholder can choose to make the minimum required payment, pay off the balance in full, or make a payment of any size between these two amounts.

PAY BILLS IN FULL, ON TIME The best way to keep a score high is to pay credit card bills in full each month — and on time. This has multiple benefits:

• Build credit — Using credit

responsibly builds up your credit history, which makes it easier and more affordable to secure a loan in the future.

• Skip the interest — Paying bills in

full and on time helps you avoid the card’s interest charges completely.

• Stay out of debt — Paying bills in REFRESH YOUR CREDIT CARD KNOWLEDGE Understanding the way a credit card works can help you use it responsibly. A credit card is a revolving line of credit allowing the cardholder to make charges up to a specific limit. Each time the cardholder swipes their card, the card issuer is lending them the money so they can make the purchase.

The cardholder will need to make payments toward the balance each month until the balance is paid off in

full helps keep you from falling into the cycle of minimum payments, high interest accruals, and debt.

• Avoid late fees — Late fees and

other penalties for missed payments can get expensive quickly.

• Enjoy rewards — Healthy credit

card habits are often generously rewarded through the credit card issuer with reward benefits.

BRUSH UP ON BILLING During a credit card billing cycle, typically 20 to 45 days, charges will

be added to and subtracted from the cardholder’s account. At the end of the cycle, the card holder receives their statement which includes the remaining balance and the payment due date. Once the payment is overdue, it will be subject to penalties and interest charges.

SPEND SMARTLY Do:

• When making a purchase, treat your credit card like cash.

Remember that credit card transactions are mini loans.

• Pay for purchases within your regular budget.

• Decrease your reliance on credit cards by building an emergency fund.

Don’t: • Use your credit card as if it provides you with access to extra income.

• Use credit to justify extravagant purchases.

• Neglect to put money into savings because you have access to a credit card.

NAMING GUARDIANS FOR MINOR CHLDREN

I

often hear my clients comment that it is time to do their estate planning because they feel they are approaching the end of life. Many indicate that they did not need to start thinking about estate planning until they were 60 to 65 years old. While I agree that estate planning is important as you approach the sunset of your life,

By Attorney Garrett T. Smith there are many benefits of setting your plan up early. I enjoy working with clients who still have minor children at home, because I help them feel confident that their children will be cared for physically, financially, and emotionally, even if the unexpected occurs.

You can relieve the financial stress for guardians by funding your trust with your assets.

I am working with a client right now who has two young children at home. She reached out to me because her brother, a single father, passed away unexpectedly last month, leaving his daughter behind. The state took custody of the child and my client’s extended family is now petitioning the court for guardianship. The family is also having to trudge through the probate court, because the brother passed away without an estate plan. My client expressed her concern at the state taking custody of the child and worries about the longterm emotional impact on her niece having to process the loss of her father without the constant support of the family.

Unfortunately, similar situations occur more often than you would think. As a parent of minor children, I can relate that my biggest concern when I set up my estate plan was ensuring that I named guardians for my children.

Another important aspect of estate planning for families with minor children is providing financial assistance for your children, should you pass away unexpectedly. You can set up a trust that can hold your assets. The trustee can use the trust assets for the benefit of your children until they reach the point of being able to take care of themselves.

Many guardians are happy to step in and take care of children if the situation demands it, however, taking on the financial obligations can cause greater stress.

You can relieve the financial stress for guardians by funding your trust with your assets. For young families that may not have accumulated a lot of assets, you may consider getting an inexpensive term life insurance policy. You can name the trust as the beneficiary. The trustee will be able to collect the death benefit and then make distributions to your named guardians so they can care for your children according to general or specific wishes that you outline in your trust.

If you or a loved one has minor children and would like to discuss how to create a plan to provide for them in case of the unexpected, please give me a call!

Utah Pain & Rehab is a multidiscipline group of doctors and providers specializing in pain treatments and physical rehabilitation. Their team of top-notch specialists and physicians have served the greater Ogden community for over 20 years, providing a variety of options for people suffering from various pain conditions.

Did you know that Utah Pain & Rehab specializes in treating auto accident injuries using a combination of manual/massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and other medical treatments.

Did you know many people are unaware that anyone injured in an auto accident, regardless of who is at fault, is covered by a state law mandating insurance monies for the injuries of all passengers. This insurance

is commonly known as PIP: Personal Injury Protection coverage or no-fault coverage. In Utah, PIP is vehicle insurance every policy includes. ‘PIP’ insurance covers anyone injured in a car accident.

This includes coverage for all types of treatment, up to $3000.00 dollars. This is no matter who is at fault for the accident. Our office has insurance and billing assistants ready to help with any problems or questions with car or insurance issues so that you can get better faster.

Did you know there were over 26,000 people injured in Utah last year from a car crash. Utah Pain & Rehab provides the most effective treatments for these specific types of injuries.

Did you know the stiffness and muscle tightness resulting from whiplash injuries often leaves long term problems that may never go away without proper treatment and rehabilitation.

Acupuncture is one of the effective ways to speed up the healing process. Utah Pain & Rehab is one of the few clinics in Northern Utah providing acupuncture. Acupuncture

stimulates the body’s natural healing response, relaxing muscles and reducing inflammation to decrease pain.

Did you know many people considering spinal surgery for bulging or herniated discs now have less invasive and cheaper options? Utah Pain & Rehab has cutting edge treatments for bulging or herniated discs using a combination of spinal decompression and active stretching to strengthen and support the injured areas of the back or neck. Spinal Decompression is effective at opening the joint space between the vertebrae to reduce nerve impingement, eliminating the need for surgery.

This helps streamline care with quick inoffice referrals to our variety of doctors without running all over town.

SOUP SEASON

Fall brings so many favorites and the top of our list: soup!

That warm bowl of goodness is always a welcome sight on the dinner table this time of year.

We've got three recipes to enjoy this fall and winter season. Get your spoons ready!

Chicken & Dumpling Soup PHOTO AND RECIPE BY HAILEY MINTON

6 TBL butter 1 cup chopped yellow onion 1 cup diced celery 4 Cloves garlic 12 oz (1 can) evaporated milk 32 oz chicken stock 4 cup cooked and shredded chicken 1 tsp dried thyme 2 tsp pepper Salt to taste DUMPLINGS 2 cup all purpose flour 1 TBL + 1 tsp baking powder 1 tsp pepper 1 tsp salt 1 tsp dried thyme 3/4 cup whole milk 4 TBL melted butter

In a large heavy bottom pot, melt butter. Add onions, carrot, celery and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add evaporated

32

northogdenconnection.com | October 2020

milk and chicken stock and quickly stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then add chicken, thyme, pepper and salt. Let the soup simmer uncovered while you make the dumplings.

To make the dumplings, mix all dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in milk and melted butter. Stir together until a dough ball forms. Use a large cookie scoop to drop dough directly into the simmering soup. Place dough balls around the pot and press them into the pot so the soup runs over the top. Place the lid on the pot and lower the heat to simmer. Cook for 15 minutes and cut into one dumpling to check if it is doughy. If it is, cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Creamy Broccoli Soup PHOTO & RECIPE BY MELISSA SPELTS

Fall is the best! It brings cooler weather, flannel shirts, warm blankets and delicious soups. I love homemade

soups and warm bread that fill our home with delicious smells and it is just too hot in the summer to enjoy making them. This is a favorite. I found this recipe on a blog many years ago and we have enjoyed it ever since. You can find the recipe at paleomom.com.

2 cups chicken broth 1-2 broccoli heads 1 avocado ½ tsp ground nutmeg 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese (optional)

Throw broccoli (stems and all) and avocado into your pot of boiling broth.

Let sit on a medium high setting until the broccoli is tender.

Reduce heat, add nutmeg and avocado, and soften in a blender. Blend until everything is nice and creamy. Viola, you have something delicious and healthy to serve your family. We like sprinkling cheese on top and serving with rolls or fresh bread.

Roasted Pumpkin and Butternut Squash Soup PHOTO AND RECIPE BY KRISTINA CASE

Recipe adapted from joythebaker.com Roasting the pumpkin and butternut squash gives this soup a really good flavor, as well as using leeks instead of onions and adding in the parmesan cheese. Fall in a bowl!

1 medium pie pumpkin (do not use a regular pumpkin) 1 medium butternut squash 1 cup leeks, sliced (only use up to where the stalk turns green) 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic Olive oil 1 TBL butter salt and pepper 3 cups chicken broth 1/2 tsp paprika 1/2 cup cream 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese a few pinches of freshly grated nutmeg salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Cut pumpkin and butternut squash into 2-inch chunks, removing the inner seeds and fibrous bits. To make it easier, you can leave the peel on and after cooking it comes off easily. Place on baking tray and drizzle lightly with olive oil, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 35 minutes or until a fork inserted in the flesh of the pumpkin and squash meets no resistance.

While the squash is roasting, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter to a large stockpot and sauté leeks for about 8 minutes, until soft. Add garlic and cook another couple minutes. Add chicken broth and simmer for 10 minutes.

When squash and pumpkin has cooled, use a spoon to scoop the cooked flesh away from the peel, and place in stockpot with other ingredients. Add paprika and nutmeg. Transfer to a blender and process until the texture is smooth. If the soup is too thick, you can add more chicken broth. Transfer back to stockpot, add cream and parmesan cheese, season to taste and simmer for 10 minutes on low until warm.

(This soup re-heats very well so you can enjoy leftovers)!
