Haven Dental Center

BY MARY BATCHELOR Dr. Craven has over 25 years of doing what he loves-denistry and treating his patients.

Dr. Craven’s love for dentistry started when he was a boy visiting his uncle’s practice in Layton. Over the last 25 years, Scott H. Craven DDS, MS/MHC, Ph.D. has been honing his craft in the dentistry world. With all the latest digital scanning, including the 3D cone beam, patients at his practice are treated with top-of-the-line technology. Dr. Craven has also had additional education in placing dental implants, treating sleep apnea, laser dentistry, and all aspects of dentistry, including surgery and cosmetic dental procedures. His love for dentistry started when he was a boy visiting his uncle’s practice in Layton. “I made drill sounds as I walked through his office, probably triggering every patient in the waiting room,” Dr. Craven remembers. This later led to his study at Creighton University in Omaha for his dental degree. His education was far from over, though; years later, he ventured back to the classroom to receive his M.S. in Mental Health Counseling and a Ph.D. in Industrial/ Organizational Psychology. While Haven Dental was only started last year, Dr. Craven has spent his career serving patients in the Pleasant View area. He also owns his own dental consulting business, Synergize Dental, which helps other dentists manage their clinics and created a network of dental practices. They focus on business systems, leadership, and team building to make offices more successful, profitable, and enjoyable for their team and patients. “I’ve always been interested in psychology, developing organizations, team building, and empowering employees.” Dr. Craven is also involved in the community and his church and enjoys his time working with youth. He is married with five children and three grandchildren. He and his wife developed classes on life skills and strengthening marriage, which they teach to people in the community. He loves being a grandfather and says, “Being a grandfather is the best part of parenting.” If you are looking for a dentist in the Pleasant View area, you might want to give Haven Dental a try.

Grill master Jeff Spencer of Kent’s Sports is going to bring tips and recipes all summer in this feature!

Chicken Thighs Recipe

There’s no doubt that a juicy ribeye or tasty New York strip are the kings of the grill, but the workhorses for most backyard chefs are still chicken, burgers, and hotdogs.

Probably because of cost, availability, and ease of cooking, these three meats rule the grill in most homes. Who can argue against a juicy burger, dog with just the right char, or a moist, juicy chicken thigh or breast, and every kid’s (and a lot of adults) favorite, the chicken leg? Sadly, too often, these meats are either too overdone or just plain raw because of the method or type of grill used. I’m a big proponent of a good quality instant-read thermometer to avoid failures and serve safe, juicy, delicious fare. Method is critical in preparing praiseworthy morsels that will make any backyard chef proud. Professional chefs often use cast iron skillets or griddles to get the results that keep their customers happy. Backyard chefs can use the same techniques to put smiles on the faces of those they feed. Food cooked on cast iron will tend to get that crisp outer layer that most people love to eat. Preheat the cast iron in the grill with a small amount of oil or cooking spray before adding the meat. Of course, if you’re cooking with wood, lower temps will produce the best flavor. Always cook to temp and not time.

THE RIGHT COOKING METHOD is important when grilling most cuts of chicken.

This recipe can be used with thighs, legs, or whole quarters.

Mesquite or hickory are great woods for chicken if using pellet grill. Preheat grill to 275 degrees. Lightly coat chicken with olive oil. Apply favorite seasoning. (We carry a number of delicious seasonings.) Place chicken directly on grill or cast iron pan. Cook to 160 degrees. Add favorite BBQ sauce or glaze. Cook to 175 degrees and remove from grill. Let meat rest for 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

GRILLING TIPS:

• Don’t add sauces too early, the sugar will burn. • Marinating is always an option with chicken. A simple brine can be used or

Italian dressing is a winner too. • Breast meat should be cooked to 165 degrees, less is too little and more produces dry chicken. • Thighs and legs have a much higher fat content and can handle higher finish temp. 175 degrees will produce juicy tender bites.

COMMON MISTAKES TO AVOID WHEN PLANNING FOR CHILDREN

WITH SPECIAL NEEDS In Memory

By Attorney Garrett T. Smith

Estate planning is an important step to avoid probate and eliminate certain tax liabilities. When you have a child with special needs, it is important to understand how your plan may impact government benefits. There are additional considerations that should be included in your plan to preserve long term benefits and ensure that your child with special needs is taken care of. Here are some common mistakes to avoid. Not Planning Around Benefits. The government has specific rules regarding benefits and often discontinues benefits due to an inheritance. Even though the inheritance provides for the child financially, they could lose their medical benefits and incur expensive medical costs that will quickly deplete the inheritance. Once the inheritance is depleted, the child will have to reapply for benefits and will not have the financial support they need during the gap period between the inheritance and benefits. Disinheriting Your Child. In attempting to maintain government benefits, parents will disinherit their child so the child can continue receiving benefits. Doing so denies the child critical resources that can be used to make their lives better. There are better solutions to allow you to provide an inheritance AND protect your child’s benefits. Not Putting It in Writing. If it is not in writing, it is not binding. Additionally, there is the “Lost in Translation” phenomenon where what you wanted and what the listener perceived are two different things. It is always best to put your wishes in writing and make them part of the legal documents for your child with special needs.

Relying on Your Other Children.

Circumstances change. Marriages, divorces, and death can dramatically alter the care that siblings will give to their brother or sister with special needs. Over time, siblings can have a change of heart about caring for them. We always recommend that you put provisions in your plan to specifically provide for your child with special needs.

Waiting Too Long.

Waiting too long after your child turns 18 to set up a guardianship for them can cause undue hardships for the child and have very costly repercussions.

There are many ways to plan for a child with special needs. Some options include guardianships, special needs trusts, ABLE accounts, or a combination of these tools.

Saluting Our Service Members

By the Major Brent Taylor Foundation

This month, we honor Tyler King and Nate Grimley. Thank you for your service to our country!

Tyler King

Tyler King joined the Idaho Army National Guard in April 2000 toward the end of his junior year of high school. He served as a 13-B (Howitzer Cannon Crewmember) as part of Detachment 1 Battery A 1-148 Field Artillery in the 116th Cavalry Brigade Combat Team. His brigade was called to active duty from June 2004 - November 2005 to train and deploy to Northeast Iraq as part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. During his time overseas, he gained a much greater appreciation for the countless freedoms we enjoy in the United States. When Tyler returned home from Iraq, he was promoted to sergeant and served as ammo team chief. He completed his eight-year contract in June 2008, and currently works as a secondary administrator for Weber School District. Tyler is currently working on getting back into the Army, where he plans to serve as a Chaplain for the Utah National Guard. Tyler and his wife Amanda live in Harrisville with their four children. They love spending time together camping, hiking, and exploring the state of Utah. They also love music in its many forms and can often be found cheering for the Utah State Aggies.

Nate Grimley enlisted in the Utah Army National Guard in 1993, when he was only 17 years old. He was activated in 2002 to help with the Salt Lake Winter Olympics. He and his brother were both deployed in 2003 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Nate had a break in service from 2006 - 2014, then he re-enlisted in the Utah Air National Nate Grimley Guard. He is currently serving as a Senior Master Sergeant in the 169th Intelligence Squadron in Salt Lake City. Nate’s sons, Evan and Ashton, think very highly of their dad and are proud of his military service. Nate can often be found advising other young people who are considering a military career. He is someone people often value getting advice from. Nate’s wife, Leone, recognizes that military service is a family affair. She knows first-hand how much family support goes into each service member, and how much that service can weigh on the loved ones who are left picking up all the slack back home. The Grimleys have a strong, heartfelt love, and gratitude for military families everywhere. They’re grateful for the almost 20 years of service Nate has given to our country.

Parents are the #1 Reason Kids Don’t Drink

BY RACHELLE KROHN

Learn the three ingredients to prevent underage drinking at Lee’s Marketplace as the Weber CTC Coalition kicks off the Parents Empowered Campaign!

Start Early

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends talking to kids about underage drinking as early as nine years old. Research shows that kids are making up their minds about alcohol between ages of 9 and 13, and those perceptions can become more favorable as they mature.

Have Small Chats

Having little talks together over time takes the pressure off of trying to get all the information out at once. Your kids will also be less likely to tune you out. Use everyday situations, such as meals, driving in the car, or taking a trip to the local grocery store. The more it becomes a regular topic, the more natural it will be for both of you.

Be Clear

Even the slightest amount of perceived parental acceptability can lead to substance use. A Utah study shows when kids believe their parents feel underage drinking is “very wrong” only three percent actually drink. But, if kids believe their parents feel it’s just “wrong” or “a little wrong,” almost half choose to drink. Make your expectations about not drinking alcohol before age 21 clear.
