Conflict and Growth CONNECTIONPUBLISHING North Ogden is published monthly by Connection Publishing© www.northogdenconnection.com ryan@connectionpub.com | (801) 624-9652 PUBLISHER Ryan Spelts
-Charles Dickens Many of us are familiar with these words from the Tale of Two Cities. I’m unaware of any other well-known statement that represents conflicted thinking like this statement does. Conflict is part of many relationships in today’s world. The war in Ukraine represents severe conflict, whereas disagreeing about where to go for dinner is on the opposite end of the spectrum. BBecause people’s values, perceptions and desires differ, we all may face conflict at some point in life. In today’s world conflicts seem to escalate more than in the past.

“I recognize communication is a two-way street that we can all improve, and city staff and council are committed to such improvement.”
In North Ogden we experience conflict including but not limited to growth, density, the type of businesses citizens desire, and how the city’s budget is funded and expended. As I have previously indicated, I appreciate differing opinions, and yet, it is important to avoid escalating conflict. So, how can we work together to realize the constructive value of these differing sentiments?
AD DESIGN Robert Dodd Abigail Rigby Crystal Rappleye Hyrum Rappleye
Improved communication may be one way to minimize conflict. Open and direct discussions with city staff and elected officials may be something worth considering. Direct communication provides an opportunity to generate solutions to various opportunities. As part of this suggestion, it may be worthwhile to remember, “First seek to understand and then to be understood.” Attending city council meetings or arranging an appointment with city staff and elected officials are ways to engage in direct communication. By the way, I’m not sure using Facebook falls into the definition of direct communication.

I recognize communication is a two-way street that we can all improve, and city staff and council are committed to such improvement. Recently, the city was encouraged to increase communication regarding new businesses opening in the city. As a result of this request, a new process has been implemented to increase communication in this area. We are seeing increased interest in businesses wanting to locate in North Ogden, and we welcome North Ogden Yogurt Company and Crumbl Cookies as new members of our community.

The Cherry on Top: The Atteberry’s BY HAILEY MINTON
Thank you Gary, and Margaret, for helping the homeless community.
6 northogdenconnection.com | May 2022
Gary and Margaret Atteberry became aware of their ability to help the needy when their daughter, Teresa, borrowed a truck to help move belongings of people who lived in a homeless encampment. The encampment by the health department near Salt Lake was being removed, and the city notified those living there that they needed to move their belongings. Everything left behind would be taken to the dump. Margaret started buying supplies to give
to the people. Gary and Margaret wanted clothing to help the homeless, so they posted about it on Facebook and then got swamped with donations. Since that initial project, they have shifted their focus to help locally in the Ogden area. They continue to help the homeless, collect donations, make connections with organizations, and distribute food. They have become the people who connect resources with those in need. They have turned what they’re doing into a nonprofit known as Do Good Today, and they are now an incorporated nonprofit to the state. They are in the process of becoming a 501(c)(3) corporation to the federal government. Among the many things they have done, they have worked with Ogden City to help furnish apartments for 14 people who have moved in from off the street. “It’s way beyond what we thought it would be when we started it,” said Gary. “We’re beyond our physical means. There’s so much need out there, and we’re just trying to fill a little of it. The Lord has blessed us with better health to continue what we’re doing.” They just want to do their part to get help to the people who need it most. This Cherry on Top goes to Gary and Margaret for all the good they have done, for not only our community, but the people in Northern Utah. #thecherryontopNOC

THE STUMP
If you haven’t tried this crisp and earthy goodness, you’re missing out! Bring your water jugs to The Stump and get in line to fill up and sip!
Sippin’ at The Stump BY KATIE GERARD
One of North Ogden City’s famously known attractions is “The Stump.” Now, a fiberglass replica, the original stump was drilled in about 1930 by Clarence Barker for irrigation purposes. This centennial well located in the heart of our city is an artesian well, meaning that the
water flows under natural pressure and doesn’t need assistance from a pump, power, or any other automation. The water runs to a discharge, routing the unused water to the North Ogden Canal that runs on the north side of the well. From there, the water makes its way through Pleasant View down to Smith and Edwards, and eventually ends up in the wetlands. Whether it’s 95 degrees in the middle of July or 15 degrees in January, there is always a line of people waiting to fill up their jugs and bottles with this freshtasting water. Last spring, our water department reduced the flow due to the
drought conditions, and even with this reduction, the stump is currently flowing at 40 gallons per minute. This transient noncommunity water source is tested twice a month for bacteria and sampled every August for nitrates. Many people have asked why there isn’t an automated valve on the stump. The reason behind this is that there would be a two-minute delay prior to water being discharged due to the requirement set by the The Division of Drinking Water. This requirement says that a two-minute “pump to waste” cycle must be run prior to putting the water into a distribution system to prevent rust, minerals, and bacteria from being in our drinking water. If you haven’t tried this crisp and earthy goodness, you’re missing out! Bring your water jugs to The Stump and get in line to fill up and sip!
Welcome Crumbl Cookie BY: JENNY GOLDSBERRY
Blake Parrish is a lawyer by training and has five children. One of his daughters was a student at Utah State and friends with Sawyer Hemsley, who founded Crumbl Cookie. His daughter told him about the little booming shop, and he joked that he’d love to get into a franchise. By 2019, he’d opened a store in Riverdale with his two youngest daughters working part-time as university students. However,
even after they graduated, they stayed on to continue working. They were all having so much fun, they decided to open a second shop at 2568 North and 400 East. They chose this location because his wife grew up on Taylor Avenue, and long after she left the nest, the two of them would visit her parents in that childhood home for Sunday dinners.

LAND USE PERMITS: What are they for and when do I need one? BY BRANDON BELL, NORTH OGDEN CITY PLANNING DEPARTMENT
A central purpose of the planning department is to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the North Ogden citizens. The North Ogden City Planning Department employees act with this purpose in mind. The planning department also works with citizens to help them exercise their rights as landowners. While doing this, members of the planning department must ensure that the rights of all the residents are not unreasonably infringed upon as contemplated in the North Ogden City Code. One way the planning department protects the rights of North Ogden City residents is by helping them understand city standards for contemplated improvements on their property through the land use permit application process and work toward successful approval of their desired use on their property, if consistent with the zoning requirements of the North Ogden City Code. Land use permits ensure that a property owner who would like to build a fence, install or build a shed, or add concrete to their lot are able to do so within the requirements of the North Ogden City Zoning Code. This ensures that both the property owner’s interests, the interests of their neighbors, 10 northogdenconnection.com | May 2022
and the city as a whole are considered. An example of a common project that would require a land use permit is adding a concrete patio or RV parking pad. Increasing the amount of concrete or other hard surface on a lot reduces the amount of land available to absorb rain or runoff water near where the water falls. Since the storm water is not retained on site, it enters the storm sewer system. This creates an impact on the storm sewer system, which leads to increased service fees. If too much stormwater enters the storm sewer system, it can cause problems such as overwhelming pipes or detention basins. To reduce the demand on the storm sewer infrastructure, the city has created a minimum vegetative area requirement on properties across the city. This ensures that much of the stormwater is absorbed on site by the soil and does not enter the storm sewer system. The North Ogden City Zoning Code exists, in part, to prevent this and similar problems. Once a land use permit application has been received, a member of the planning department examines the request for compliance with the city zoning code, the property’s dedication plat, and known special restrictions, e.g., utility easements or geologic hazards. If the project is compliant with city ordinances, the land use permit will be approved, and the
If a proposed project does not meet the zoning ordinance or there is a special restriction on the lot, a member of the planning department will contact the applicant to inform them of the restrictions or any changes needed. In these instances, if the project can work with modifications, planning department staff works with the applicant to provide options that will allow the applicant to modify the proposed project so it will conform to city code before work begins. Information needed to process an application: • A simply drawn plan that shows square footage of the lot to be built upon, the size and location of existing buildings or structures. (We don’t accept photos, aerial photos, Google Map, etc.) •
The square footage of existing concrete/asphalt on the lot
•
The square footage of proposed concrete/asphalt
•
The square footage of the existing building footprint
•
Plans and dimensions for any proposed structure, including height
•
A site plan showing the dimensions of the proposed project and distances from property lines
•
Any other site-specific information

Fentanyl in our community BY SERGEANT BRANDON MORREALE, NORTH OGDEN POLICE DEPARTMENT
There have been some concerns brought up regarding prescription medications and the dangers of illicit substances being disguised as such. Sadly, the concern is warranted. Our communities have seen an influx of counterfeit pills containing lethal doses of fentanyl: LITTLE BLUE PILLS.
FIGURE 1
The blue pills (like above) that were sold illegally as Oxycodone contained Fentanyl and caused overdoses in the community.
FIGURE 2
DANGER!
Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid THAT IS 80-100 TIMES STRONGER THAN THAT OF MORPHINE. The lethal dose of fentanyl is about two milligrams, equivalent to just a few grains of salt.
Since January of 2022, the North Ogden Police Department has already responded to two separate overdose calls regarding pills that are designed to look like a prescription narcotic: Oxycodone. In both of these cases, the pills were seized and sent to the Utah State Crime Laboratory for testing. Both were analyzed and identified as Fentanyl: a drug which can be lethal in very small doses. One of the two patients, unfortunately, passed away. There was a third incident in which a citizen was found in possession of similar pills. The pills were sent to the laboratory for testing, but the results are still pending. Oxycodone is a prescribed pain medication; however, it is also a commonly abused and recreationally used opioid, with effects similar to that of heroin. The abuse of Oxycodone is dangerous in and of itself. If used outside prescribed guidelines, it depresses the respiratory system and can cause respiratory failure and death. Many recreational users of opioids use them for the calming and euphoric effect the drug has on the body and mind. So, why is it so scary that Fentanyl is being found in these counterfeit prescription pills? Fentanyl is a synthetic opioid that is 80100 times stronger than that of morphine. The lethal dose of fentanyl is about two Resources: WWW.DEA.GOV WWW.DRUGS.COM
14 northogdenconnection.com | May 2022
milligrams, equivalent to just a few grains of salt. Fentanyl has many of the same effects on the body as other opioids; however, due to its strength, the results can be quick, and they can be detrimental. It is not uncommon for teen-aged children and young adults to seek the calming and euphoric effect of opioids such as Oxycodone. Since it is unlikely that the drugs will be prescribed to them, they obtain them through various unsafe means. Without obtaining the drugs through a physician’s prescription, there is no way to know what pills they are receiving. When observed, there is no discernable difference between the proper prescription Oxycodone and the counterfeit fentanyl pills. The colors in Figure 1 and Figure 2 are slightly different, but the color varies greatly. The markings, size, and shape are all the same. The dangers go beyond the intentional ingestion of the pills. The pills have a powdery-like substance to them, which, when touched, can be partially absorbed into the skin. This is especially concerning if the pills touched contain Fentanyl, where such a small amount can be fatal. The information provided is far from allinclusive. I would highly recommend you do some research into the dangers of Fentanyl and have conversations with your children and loved ones about abuse or recreational use of prescription medications. Remind children not to touch any pills that they may find, even for a moment, and to find an adult. Dispose of your unused or expired medications at an approved collection box. There is one conveniently located in the lobby of the North Ogden Police Department.

ARTIST BIO
Jamie Goss BY HAILEY MINTON
Jamie Goss’ creativity stemmed from being a stay at home mom and making
gifts by hand for family and friends as a way to save money. “The past few years, I realized store-bought gifts are too easy and impersonal. I want to make gifts less about what you get and more about what you make and give to the other person.’’ Jamie makes wreaths, decorative towels, arrangements of succulents and flowers, curtains, and decorative accessories. Over the years ,her husband mentioned how highquality the items she made were and should try selling them. In February of 2020, she opened her Etsy shop, and now she sends her goods all over the world from the UK to Japan, and Austria to Australia. Jamie learned the basic skills of woodworking and sewing in jr high and high school, and she has built upon that foundation in her business. Her mother was always good at home decor so she had her example to guide her as well, and Pinterest
is always a good source to get her creative juices flowing. She encourages her children to focus more on the joy of making and giving gifts than receiving them, and her teenage daughter has made some of her own gifts for some of her friends now too. Find Jamie on Etsy at Evie and Mae Homemade. Her shop name originates from her two fur babies: Evelyn, a tripod golden retriever due to cancer in her front leg, and Sallie Mae, their sweetest rescue pup.

History of early home costs This article is part of a series we’re doing on how much homes used to cost back in the day. BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY
J
ames Ward was an English pioneer born in 1840. At the age of 21, he immigrated to Utah with his wife, Harriet Brown. They attempted to homestead a farm in Ogden. He had practically no necessities; he used a provision box as a table and only had a kettle as their sole kitchen utensil. A neighbor gifted them an old stove that James fixed up to last them. James’s property at Five Points consisted of approximately ten acres, but because of its clay content, it was not very productive. However, he tried to use the clay to his advantage, making clay bowls. When their neighbor would give them milk, they kept it in these bowls until it would seep through, and the bowl crumbled to pieces. It was a rainy period when their first child was born. It rained for 21 days without stopping. Their handmade shelter couldn’t withstand the downpour. It was impossible to keep a fire. Not an available thing could keep the rain from soaking the bed, bedclothes, mother, and baby. Not a dry thread could be had for their comfort. In the end, they received some assistance from an Indian Chief.
north and bought an eleven-acre tract of land for $1,400. James tried his hand building a better structure, this time building it out of logs. It became the birthplace of the Ward’s next five children–all boys. Eventually, their third oldest child, William Ward, built a two-story brick home to replace the log structure, where four more of his siblings were born. William would go on to raise his family in that home and die intestate. James H. Ward, William’s brother and uncle to William’s two kids, Florence and Ivan, made sure that they were the heirs to the home. It was a two-room brick home built by their father at 2737 North 1050 East. Florence’s uncle on her mother’s side, Hyrum Bailey, with the help of some friends, added two more rooms and a pantry to the Ward home. It included the farmland of mainly fruit trees. The fruit was picked and placed in the built-in cool cellar. Florence kept
a beautiful yard and loved and tended beautiful flowers, including roses. By the time the original James Ward was 75 years old, he had 11 Florance and W. Ivan children, 58 Ward in April, 1900 grandchildren, and 26 great-grandchildren. The house still stands today. By 2009, its market value had shot up to $110,078. Just five years later, it was valued at $140,524. Today, it is approaching three times the value it was ten years ago, at $228,000. That doesn’t even include its original 11 acres, only about a third of an acre.
On March 19,1864, James and Harriet Ward moved farther north and bought an 11-acre tract of land for $1,400. That property, that includes the two-story brick home, would now be worth ten times that amount.
As a result of that tough winter, James opted to sell the farm to George Smith and James Harrop. In return, he got a yoke of oxen, a cow that was reportedly pretty old, and something between $20$40 worth of gold dust. First, they moved briefly to Washington Boulevard in North Ogden where their second child was born but settled a little farther north. On March 19, 1864, they moved farther 20 northogdenconnection.com | May 2022

THE BEST LOCAL PLACES TO TAKE PHOTOS
Location. Location. Location. BY MELISSA SPELTS
When I was 27 years old, Ryan bought me a used DSLR camera for my birthday. I fell in love with photography and started to see potential photo locations everywhere I went. If you are a photographer or a “wannabe” like me, you probably know that we are blessed with amazing photo locations here in Utah.

When we have special events coming up for one of our kids, like a dance or graduation, one of my favorite things to do is to have that child completely ready for pictures and drive around just looking for great spots. I have taken the coolest pictures next to doors, buildings, walls, or open fields by simply being open to what I see in that moment. When I take dance pictures for my teens, I love to find cool walls or barns to snap pictures by. If walls or buildings are facing the right way, they create a shadow that makes the lighting ideal. It is easier to work with and stays that way longer, unlike trying to time pictures for the perfect “golden hour” right as the sun sets. I also like to have two locations for every shoot. The best locations have multiple back drops in one spot. Be respectful and honor private property. One time, I was taking pictures of my friend’s family next to this really cool old barn (it is no longer there). My friend got permission to take pictures from the family that owned the barn. She told me that photographer’s would walk into the owners back yard without asking. They didn’t mind them using the barn
for their backdrop but hated when people didn’t ask. Please make sure to be respectful. Ask for permission if it’s on private property. Clean up any
trash that you bring in. This will help keep these locations available for years to come. HAPPY PHOTOGRAPHING!

The latest in design trends BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY
People are spending more time than ever in their homes. The emergence and popularity of remote work is keeping some at home for even their working hours. When schools close temporarily, the home becomes the classroom for children. More and more people are opting to order in rather than eat out, turning their own dining rooms into personal restaurants. That’s why home design is more important than ever: people are greatly influenced by an environment. The colors of the wall can influence moods, furniture can give the appearance of a more spacious room, and lights can bring warmth and welcome. Often, one can’t appreciate good design until they suffer living in badly designed homes. Instead of experiencing the positive influences, they only know the flip side of the coin.
Goodbye white! Bold colors are in!
Here’s a list of trends that are in and out:
Design Trends In:
k Sculptural architecture, sculptural lighting, sculptural furniture: all of it is on trend. This is your chance to display unique shapes all throughout your home. In fact, worldwide travel begins opening again; take this opportunity to display some of your finds from international vacations. Display Roman sculptured candle holders from Italy, a Buddhist lantern from Japan, or any number of international sculptures. You’ll be trending while also sparking conversations about your recent travels. k Along those same lines, Italian plaster is also in. Today, it is possible to paint your home with the same stucco-like texture that is present all over ancient Italian architecture. This look can come in all sorts of colors, so if you’d like to stick to white walls over a loud color, you’ll still be on trend. Vintage pieces are being used more. 26 northogdenconnection.com | May 2022
k Don’t throw out your antiques either because they’re in too. “The ‘new style’ is called ‘grand millennial,’” interior designer Rachel Driggs explains. “Classic interiors with unique pieces you could only find in your grandma’s house. It’s amazing!” Finally, a sustainable practice of reusing vintage furniture is popular again.
k Dual purpose rooms are also on the rise. With many working remotely, no one will blink an eye at a work desk in the living room. Now that we’re spending more time than ever at home, it is very popular to use every amount of space available for many purposes. k Trendy homes are opting for shades of brown over most other colors. It’s a part of the overall trend of natureinspired decor. Don’t be afraid of leafy wallpaper, textured rugs, or earthy tones because they’re all in. The more your home reflects a jungle escape, the trendier it can be. k Since sharp, 90-degree angles aren’t often found in nature, soft, round, and curved shapes are in. You can implement a rounded arch in a doorway or around a fireplace. The right kind of furniture can also achieve this look.
k
If these trends so far seem boring, no need to fear. It is also on trend to mix in bold colors and unique materials. Leather, as it often is, remains on trend. Get creative in mixing nature-inspired textures with other fabrics and materials.
k Finally, up-and-coming artwork is increasingly more popular than its well-known counterparts. Often, new art can start new, exciting conversations when displayed for the first time in a home. Here at Connection Publishing, we hold an art and photography contest between local artists every year, and it’s a great place to find up-and-coming talent. I’ve purchased some pieces from previous winners myself, and no matter where I bring them, they remind me of home. They also open the door to conversations with my house guests about Utah culture and history.
k With it, go open floor plans. Like we’ve discussed, rooms are better when used in dual-purpose ways. You’ll still be on trend if your rooms are slightly more crowded rather than open and bare. With so many people working from home, many people have realized that they don’t want anything in their home that doesn’t serve a specific purpose. Useless chachkas will clutter your already semi-crowded dualpurpose rooms. Things that add beauty or function are still in but beware of the line between useful and useless. k Speaking of useless, chef’s kitchens are no longer trending. We’re often ordering in and eating together at the same time nowadays, so there’s no use for an industrial-looking kitchen over the function of a kitchen that allows for gatherings. Make sure you have room for your family and friends before pursuing a kitchen makeover.
WE WANT TO SEE! If you try any of these trends, take pictures and send them to us via our website! This article might have encouraged you to donate They just some home decor, but remember, a lot of these pieces might be can also be purchased at the same donation center featured in you visit. Maybe you could even swap some pieces our issue next year. with your friends and family. There’s no need to break the bank to stay on trend.
Design Trends Out:
k When it comes to framing art and photos, ornate, weighty frames are out. It’s a money-saving trend because, as you’re purchasing art or print, you can have a bigger budget for the art itself and buy a simple frame. Maybe you’ll even find you can fit more on your walls with lighter frames. k To the relief of many, the trend of all white everything is no longer trending. “It has been really popular, but it seems like people are tiring of the all-white everything,” Rachel says. That adds up to less time spent cleaning a bright, white space. k Just like round shapes are in, sharp edges are out. Particularly, boxy sofas are no longer popular. You can replace them with structural seating, like discussed above. k The super minimalistic look is on its way out.
On the following pages you’ll find helpful info from local home and garden experts.

LAWN CARE
MAKE YOUR LAWN THRIVE! “We have had the greenest and most plush lawn of our entire adult lives the last two years. We tried all the do-it-yourself fertilizer programs and tried to stay on top of the weeds on our own for 20 years. Our yard was nice, it was mostly green, but it wasn’t plush, and the weed battle was nonstop! However, since we have met Zach, Roxanne, and the team at Green Castle, our grass has been awesome and the weed free despite only being able to water a couple of times a week because of the drought. We love our Green Castle Lawn Care.” -loyal Green Castle customer Unlike many of the traditional lawn care programs found today, Green Castle takes an approach more like what many golf courses and sports turf managers follow. Most of the traditional lawn care programs rely on quickrelease products for quick results. Most times, this isn’t what is best for your lawn and can actually make lawns “top heavy,” meaning they are not as healthy as the top layer might temporarily show. If you treat lawns right, you will treat not only the grass but the roots and the soil for longlasting, healthy, plush lawns and prevent weeds and many diseases in your area. The most popular option is their six-step program. It starts with an early spring application and a late spring application; both contain balanced fertilizer application and crabgrass, pre-emergent, and broadleaf weed control. Then perform two

summer applications, both with summer fertilizer application and broadleaf weed control, followed by the fall/winter treatments that help prepare your lawn for overwintering and the next year. An additional service they provide is pest control, which can protect your lawn against grub damage and protect your homes from pesky, bothersome insects such as spiders and ants. Obviously, problems can still arise, and Green Castle encourages their customers to communicate if problems occur. Remember, Green Castle only sees your lawn fivesix times per year; you see it every day. If problems are caught early, they are able to take care of them quickly. A great lawn only happens with great communication between you and Green Castle. Zach, the owner of Green Castle, told me that if you really want the best lawn, you should have a soil test done, which runs $20-40. The results from this test will arm you and Green Castle with the information needed for the best treatment for your lawn. He also indicated that mowing properly includes leaving the grass three inches tall in the heat of the summer and then dropping it down to one and a half inches in the fall before the snow comes will help you maintain a beautiful lawn. This locally owned business has been in business for 20 years and has the expertise to get a lawn green and healthy. They know the right formulas for your area and how to make your lawn thrive!

ROOF CARE
OIL CHANGE FOR YOUR ROOF We don’t even question it. We get oil changes for our vehicles. Without clean oil, things get messed up in an engine. Asphalt shingles are similar. They are a
petroleum-based product that is designed to protect your home. Over time, the natural oils evaporate and dry out, which makes the shingles less flexible; they become brittle and lose their top protective granule coating.The asphalt also becomes less sticky, which means they don’t hold together as well and the water proofing can become compromised. Eventually, you will have to replace them, but Roof Maxx® can get you extra time and save you money! We call Roof Maxx® the oil change for shingles. Roof Maxx® is a soy methyl ester compound that is an all-natural bio oil made from soybean oil. When sprayed on asphalt shingles, it absorbs into the shingle and replenishes the oils that have dried out over time. This rejuvenates the shingles and makes them perform like new again. In fact, studies show that older shingles perform at 75%-80% of a new shingle after a Roof Maxx treatment. They are flexible, sticky, and hold on to the protective coating better after treatment. This renewal will last for at least five years guaranteed, and shingles will take up to three treatments before needing to be replaced.

Because roofmaxx is 75%-80% cheaper than a new roof, it will save you money. Plus, Roof Maxx® comes with a five-year warranty and is transferable to new owners if you sell your house. This keeps thousands of pounds of roof waste out of the landfill, all while saving you money. With the increase in construction material costs, now is the perfect time to focus on maintaining your roof instead of replacing it. Roof Maxx of Ogden is your local dealership. If your roof is seven years old or older, you may qualify for Roof Maxx® treatment. We offer a free assessment and inspection. We also offer a roof tune-up which includes reinserting backed out nails, tarring or siliconing gaps and potential leak spots, and replacing pipe vent weather collars. We can even complete small repairs, like replacing shingles that have torn off. Our goal is to help your roof last as long as possible, saving you money. Roof Maxx is an amazing breakthrough in roofing maintenance technology that will help your roof last longer and protect what matters most within the walls of your home.

REAL ESTATE
NAVIGATING THE CURRENT REAL ESTATE MARKET While some describe the process of trying to sell or buy a home in the current environment as overwhelming, everyone knows that the real estate market has been competitive the last 2 years. We reached out to recently voted “Ogden’s Favorite Realtor” and “Weber County’s Favorite Realtor” Ashley Wolthuis with RE/MAX Associates to see if she could give us any tips on successfully navigating real estate. QUESTION: What is one thing that both buyers and sellers can do right now to prepare to enter the real estate market? Ashley Wolthuis: Learn your market. If you are planning on selling your house compare it to others that have recently sold or are currently listed. How does your house compare? Does it have the same features and is it in the same condition as those that sold for top dollar? Are there any repairs or updating needed to make it more comparable to those houses that have sold for your goal price? If so, will the cost of making those repairs or updates still give you a return on your investment? Not every upgrade or remodeling project will pay off to the point that it is worth the investment of time and money. Knowing what matters most to buyers right now and which investments to make that will have the biggest impact on the overall value of your home will be key to a successful sale. If you are planning on buying a home, you also want to learn your market. Once you are preapproved for a loan and know

your budget, look at homes that are currently available and have recently sold to see what the housing options are within your desired budget. What kind of offers have other successful buyers in the same price range made? What are sellers wanting and expecting to see in the offers they receive? QUESTION: This is all really good advice, but how can the average homeowner or buyer learn all of this? Ashley Wolthuis: The easiest way is to start working with an experienced real estate agent. Interview agents and ask to see their past sales and how they compare with others in your market. How long have they been an agent? How varied is their experience? There is also a new Home App that I have been sharing with my clients which allows current homeowners to compare their homes to those that have recently sold and will help them track real estate activity in their neighborhood. Buyers can use the same app to see what homes they have been watching are selling for and for finding currently available homes. I think apps like this will be one of the greatest tools for keeping people up to date about real estate. The app is free and available to anyone. Just scan the QR code below to get started. If you have questions about this app, the market or your particular real estate needs contact Ashley Wolthuis at 801-391-8503 or follow her on Instagram at @Ashley_ Wolthuis_Realtor or through her Facebook Group, Northern Utah Home Elements.

I am absolutely thrilled to be working with Weber CTC and the wonderful communities Weber CTC serves. I am originally from Cache Valley. I have spent the last several years in Southern Utah, where I attended Southern Utah University (SUU). I loved my time in Southern Utah but am very excited to be back north. After graduating from SUU, I got involved in coalition work. I helped coordinate a substance abuse and suicide prevention coalition in Beaver County for
almost three years. While working with that community, I realized that I have a love and passion for coalition work. I feel so lucky that I get to move closer to my family AND I get to continue doing something that I love to do. I really love the vision statement that was created by the Weber CTC and so I want to share that with you: “The Weber CTC is a caring community that harnesses resources to support all youth by engaging families, schools, and the community through education and connectedness, working to prevent youth substance use and suicide in our community.” I hope to have the chance to connect with as many of you as possible, as soon as possible! If you want to learn more about our upcoming events or how to get involved, please visit one of the websites below.

Log Cabin Home WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY WILLIAM BAILEY
From “Life of William Bailey by Elsie C. & Joseph T. Bailey” The tall pines waved, the winds loudly roared, No matter, keep digging away. The wild flowers blossomed around the log cabin door, Where we sit after mining all the day. Few more days and our mining all will end, The canyons so rich will be dry. The tools on the bank shall be left for friends, Then my log cabin home, goodbye. Mine no more, oh never more but play We’ll always remember the log cabin home far away. By the old fire place we are chatting with delight, By the blaze of the sugar pine tree. The old cooking tools shall be left in the camp, All ready to bake and to fry. They all may be used by some miner on a tramp, Then my log cabin home, goodbye. We’ll hunt no more for the grissy in the nook, The diggers will soon leave behind, We’ll drink once more from the clear crystal brook, As around the log cabin it winds. The old oak tree under which the cabin stands, All shady at noon where we lie. One fond look at the old oak so grand, And my log cabin home, goodbye.

It seems like everything is getting more expensive these days, and that includes auto insurance. According to a recent study by the National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies, there are many reasons why this is happening. Here are five of them: More drivers. The U.S. population has
grown 10% over the past decade, bringing the number of licensed drivers to 230 million. More drivers equal more auto accidents—there are over 6 million crashes a year, and that number continues to climb.
Driving behavior. People are driving faster,
and speeding increases the severity of accidents when they happen. Drivers are also facing more distractions than ever before, with nearly 1/6 of crashes caused by distracted driving. And, despite the use of ride-sharing services and education about the risks of impaired driving, 10,000 lives were lost in 2019 due to driving under the influence.
Inflation. With new technology, modern cars are safer than ever, but high-tech vehicles are more expensive to repair. The average cost of a car repair has risen 8% since 2019. Additionally, hospital services have climbed over 46% since 2010.
Extreme weather. Bad weather can lead to
accidents, and cars can also be damaged by natural events, especially when parked on the street. Auto claims due to weather and natural disasters are up 4% over the last decade.
Theft. In 2020, auto thefts increased by 9.2%. Each year, fraud costs insurance companies billions of dollars in loss as well.
Acuity works hard to keep insurance costs under control. We work closely with repair shops and were named a top company for claims service by them! We also offer Replacement Benefits Coverage on cars, so you don’t have to worry in the unfortunate event you have an accident. Additionally, we returned millions of dollars in rate relief to our personal auto customers through discounts during the COVID pandemic. Talk to your independent agent annually to do a full review on your auto insurance policy.

Spring Gardening
Here’s some plants you can grow in our unpredictable spring weather BY ANN PARK
S
pring in Utah is beautiful, and after a long winter most of us are excited to garden. Despite the unpredictable weather, there are many garden crops that are tolerant of cold spells. They can be planted early and harvested soon. Lettuce – Here is North Ogden and Pleasant View, many varieties of lettuce can be started from seed as early as March. When the leaves are big enough, its time for fresh salad! Spinach – Grows quickly and loves cool weather. Rain, cold, and even a little snow will not kill your spinach. Plant early, and enjoy! When the weather heats up and the sun intensifies, the spinach will go to seed. When that happens, the plant is past its prime.
Broccoli and peas are cold tolerant and can handle spring temperatures, plus they are so good for you!
Radishes – Crisp, spicy and delicious, radishes grow early and require cool weather. There are many varieties that do very well in our area. Peas – They will take a while to grow and mature, but the plants are cold tolerant and do well in spring temperatures. March is a great time to plant them, but if you forgot, you can plant them now. Broccoli – If you love broccoli, then get some plants started early. Broccoli

doesn’t like the hot summer sun. Planting early also prevents insects from living on the plants. Kale - Another great cool-weather plant. And it’s very good for you. I know you’re all waiting for the tomatoes, beans, zucchini, peppers and melons, but please wait a little longer! May 15th is usually the average date to plant warm weather crops. Here in Utah, you don’t always know when the last cold snap will be. These warm weather plants will die a terrible death if the temperature drops below 32 degrees. If you plan early and the weather turns cold, you can cover delicate crops, or start them outside with some kind of protective cover such as Walls of Water, or even a recycled gallon milk jug with the bottom cut off. Tomato and pepper plants can be started inside, (or purchased at the nursery). We keep ours indoors until the weather warms up, gradually get them used to outdoor temperatures, and then move them to the garden. Mmmmmmm… Can you almost taste the salsa? There is nothing more satisfying than eating produce fresh from your own garden. Happy planting!

Military Spotlight: Saluting Our Service Members By The Major Brent Taylor Foundation and Bill Bernard
Bill Bernard Bill served on a ship of the U.S. Navy off the coast of North and South Vietnam in 1970. This was part of a larger operation of gunfire support of troops ashore in the War in Vietnam. His ship had officers of the South Vietnamese Navy aboard. While in South Vietnamese waters, his ship had to carefully avoid small craft, all flying the yellow-and-red flag of South Vietnam. On March 19, 1970, Bill’s ship, the USS Neches, was off the coast of South Vietnam, near the city of Hue. Bill was on the Neches’s bridge while the destroyer USS Orleck came alongside in a refueling operation. Both ships were underway in heavy seas. The object was to transfer fuel from one ship to the other via large hoses. Bill’s job was to contact the bridge of the Orleck via a sound-powered phone line that had been sent across the water. Suddenly, the command “emergency breakaway” was heard as the Orleck lost steering control from her bridge. The Orleck switched to an emergency backup procedure in the aft steering compartment, which was located low in the rear of the ship near the rudder. This procedure was not immediately successful; Bill grabbed something solid, and he watched as the Orleck smashed into the Neches below and aft of where he was standing. Sparks flew amid a deafening noise as metal contacted metal. The Orleck went to general quarters and set condition Zebra to close all watertight doors and hatches. The anchor of the Orleck

was ripped off their ship and landed on the deck of the Neches. Fortunately, there was no fire in the midst of this refueling operation. The Orleck dropped astern and started to take on water. The Neches was damaged amidships but did not take on water. The flooding on the Orleck was controlled, and both ships made it back to the Philippines for repairs. Bill heard his captain say something to the effect of, “This was not the approved Navy way to start the day.” Some months later, the Neches stopped in Japan on her way back to San Francisco. Bill was able to get some time off to visit the 1970 World’s Fair in Osaka Japan. The pavilion of the Soviet Union was massive. When Bill entered that pavilion, he spied a crowd of Japanese tourists crowded around an information desk. A very pretty young female Communist manned this desk. When she spied Bill in his Navy uniform, she reached under her desk and then handed some literature to him, while carefully avoiding the outreached hands of the Japanese tourists. This turned out to be literature - in English - extolling the virtues of Communism, especially for young adults like him. Bill was certainly not a fan of Communism, but that sure was a pretty young lady. Later, in civilian life, Bill served for twelve years as North Ogden City Treasurer. Bill and his wife Sherry have been married for 46 years and have two sons, Mike and Brian, and two grandchildren, Maddie and William.

FOOD BOUQUETS Edible Fruit Bouquet BY MELISSA SPELTS
Edible fruit bouquets can be a fun center piece for any party. Honestly, I was surprised by how much our children liked this arrangement. My brain started thinking of more fruits that would be fun in this bouquet. Needed items: basket, pot, or container floral foam, wooden skewers Fruits I used in my arrangement: grapes, blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, kiwi, and raspberries.

empty stem. Depending on your fake roses, you might need to insert a piece of toothpick in the middle to hold up the bacon roses. Take a strip of bacon, and, starting at one end, roll it up tightly to form a rosette and dip top in brown sugar. Secure the roll with two toothpicks, as close to the bottom of one end as you can, to form a cross. Place the rose on a wire rack on top of a foil-lined tray. Repeat with all the bacon. Bake 25 minutes, until they are well cooked and have a good color. Remove from oven and allow to cool. Once cool, blot excess grease off and take each rose and wiggle it onto a stem. Repeat until the whole bunch is complete.
Chicken Nugget Bouquet BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY
20 chicken nuggets 20 waffle fries 5-10 skewers You can make some chicken nuggets by cutting up a chicken breast into 1-inch pieces. Then, whisk up an egg to dunk the chicken nuggets into and immediately
roll the chicken nuggets in a mixture of flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Dip the chicken nugget in egg again and dip it into some breadcrumbs. You have the option to fry them up in oil on the stove or bake them in the oven at 400 degrees. Waffle fries are also pretty easy. Just slice two potatoes lengthwise about ¼ inch. Take those slices and put a skewer on each side. The skewers will keep you from slicing through the potato all the way through. Make slits widthwise and then flip the slice over. Make diagonal slits on that other side. Now, when you stretch out the slice, you’ll see that classic waffle shape. Soak your fries in cold water to make them extra crisp. Coat your fries in salt and corn starch. Then, you can fry them in oil or bake them in your oven. You can always buy your fries and nuggets from any fast-food restaurant. Take your skewers and start stabbing through the fries first, about halfway down. Those will be your “leaves.” Then, stick several nuggets on top of your fries to be your “flowers.” Get yourself a vase to display your skewers. The bottoms of the skewers aren’t very sightly, so I added some licorice to the base to add some flare. continued on page 44

Fireweed
Young shoots can be cooked like asparagus, while young leaves can be used in salads and steeped for tea. The pith of the stem can be used to flavor and thicken stews and soups.
Camas were harvested in large quantities by Native Americans and stored for winter use. Bulbs were eaten raw or cooked.
Blue Camas
Indian Paintbrush The blossoms of Indian paintbrush are reported to be edible but may accumulate selenium if growing in selenium-rich soils. Selenium is a trace mineral that is good for us, but too much of it can lead to poisoning. Grazing animals have been poisoned by ingesting forages grown on seleniferous soils that have accumulated selenium in relatively high concentrations. Soils containing high concentrations of selenium are commonly found in many parts of the world, including the western United States.* Based off my research, I don’t think you will be able to tell how much selenium is in the soil by instinct or the five senses alone. You probably won’t be any smarter after grabbing a handful of soil and wistfully staring into the distance as it falls back to the ground. Perhaps the Indian paintbrushes should be left for the bees.

Plantain
Young common plantain leaves are edible and nutritious. It is rich in vitamins A, C, and K. The leaves and juice have been widely used to treat insect bites, rashes, sunburn, blisters, burns, and cuts.
FORAGING FLOWERS
You can eat some of these! BY HAILEY MINTON
Aside from the Indian paintbrush, the flowers themselves aren’t necessarily edible. The flowers do serve as a way to identify these plants you can eat. The information here, unless otherwise indicated, came from the Utah State University Extension Field Guide: Wildflowers & Other Herbaceous Plants of Utah Rangelands. The digital version of the book is free online, so if you’re serious about foraging, look it up to help you make sure you’re identifying your plant species correctly. Also, keep others in mind as you forage. Try not to take away from the scenery other visitors will enjoy along the trails.
The seeds of the Lewis flax are very nutritious and edible when cooked. They have a pleasant, nutty taste.
