T

he holiday season is upon us, and I’m very excited to announce that Ogden’s Christmas Village will once again light up our downtown with hundreds of thousands of lights and nearly one hundred handmade cottages. I hope that you and your family get out and enjoy the lights, Christmas cabins, and memories that Ogden’s Christmas Village provides. It is genuinely one of our gems and a Utah holiday tradition. We’re very excited that we’ll be kicking off the season in style with the Electric Holiday Light Parade and annual fireworks display.

While you are downtown, please take the time to visit our local merchants and spend locally. Ogden is a treasure trove of locally owned businesses and offers a wide variety of experiences and options. Try out a new restaurant and make lasting memories with your family and friends.

"I hope you’ll find the time to enjoy all that is good and right in our lives during this holiday season."

As you may have heard, Doug Stephens made the decision to not run for re-election for the District 3 seat. I want to thank him for his 16 years of dedicated service to our city and its residents. He listened to his constituents and did right by his supporters for nearly two decades, and that is commendable. We are all surrounded by kind and generous members in our community, and Doug embodies this to the fullest extent. Thank you for your service, Doug.

Again, we live in a wonderful place, surrounded by amazing people. Whether it’s skiing with your family, hitting the trail with your dog, curling up with your favorite book, or enjoying the company of your loved ones, I hope you’ll find the time to enjoy all that is good and right in our lives during this holiday season.

With sincere gratitude,

CITY COUNCIL

BY BRANDON GARSIDE

Ogden recognized with Blue Sky Legacy Award

In October, Rocky Mountain Power recognized Ogden City with the Blue Sky Legacy Community Award for its efforts to take the initiative for sustainability measure.

“We’re honored to have received this award,” Council Member Angela Choberka said. “We recognize the importance of transitioning to renewable energy, and while there’s still a long way for us to go, we’re grateful for the recognition of our efforts thus far.”

Through the Blue Sky program, Ogden has supported over 146,000 megawatt hours of renewable energy and continues to look for opportunities to be more energy efficient. Seventeen percent of Ogden residents are participating in renewable energy development, either through Blue Sky or their own onsite solar generation.

“We’re honored to have received this award,” Council Member Angela Choberka said.

“We recognize the importance of transitioning to renewable energy.”

Catholic Community Services, the Ogden Rescue Mission, and the Ogden Nature Center have received grants through Blue Sky which will help generate over 2,000 megawatt hours each year. We thank Rocky Mountain Power for the Blue Sky Legacy Award.

“We’re proud of the forwardthinking leaders in our community,” Choberka added. “This is an undertaking where every bit

Connect with us! @ogdencityutah

of participation and consideration by residents and local organizations make a difference.”

In December of 2019, the Ogden City Council adopted a resolution to achieve a community goal of sourcing net-100% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. City officials continue to evaluate the best method to reach this goal, including the consideration of continuing in the Community Renewable Energy Program.

Redistricting

Ogden City is required by state law to adopt new district maps every 10 years, after each census is performed, regardless of whether there are changes in population or not. Before the city can start drawing new voting boundaries, the county must provide preliminary data from the state. Weber County analyzes this data and creates voting precincts. Voting precincts are the foundation for building voting districts. The county will create 28 voting precincts in Ogden City, and then the city will use these precincts to decide boundaries for city council districts.

“This is a rare opportunity to reevaluate the municipal districts within Ogden City, and we aren’t taking it lightly,” Council Chair Bart Blair said. “We’re looking at different options and the history of the districts to ensure that they are equitable for Ogden residents.”

The COVID-19 pandemic delayed last year’s census. As a result, the Census Bureau was unable to transmit its data in a timely manner. Weber County is expected to transmit its data to the council sometime in November. After a work session discussion on December 14th, the council will then approve the boundaries in the meeting on December 21st. While the council will be unable to change the voting precincts determined by the county, it may adjust the Ogden City Municipal District boundaries.

Opportunities to provide public input on this issue will be available in the meeting on December 21st.

The council office has been proactive with redistricting by working closely with county officials to have a clear understanding of the process to avoid any issues with the tight timeline. The council also had an in-depth discussion on redistricting in its strategy session on September 21st.

Christmas Village will light up the downtown Ogden Municipal Gardens (353 E. 25th Street) beginning November 27, 2021, after the Holiday Electric Light Parade. This annual holiday display in Ogden will feature activities and entertainment until December 23, 2021, and the cottage lights will be available to view until January 1, 2022.

THE VILLAGE: Cottages sponsored and created by the

community will turn historic downtown into a nightly vision of Santa’s village at the North Pole, from 5 p.m. until midnight.

The theme for the Christmas Village festivities this year is “O-Town Christmas,” and a purple ornament is hidden in each of the cottages for visitors to find as they explore the displays.

Visitors to the village can also vote for their favorite cottage at christmasvillage.ogdencity.com.

THE SANTA RUN, HOLIDAY ELECTRIC LIGHT PARADE, AND CHRISTMAS VILLAGE OPENING GALA: The festivities for Christmas Village will begin November

The Holiday Electric Light Parade will promptly start at 5:30 p.m., lighting up the parade route starting on 22nd Street and head south along Washington Boulevard to 27th Street. The Christmas Village opening ceremony begins when the parade reaches the Municipal Gardens, and people gather in the amphitheater at approximately 6:30 p.m.

The Mayor of Christmas Village, Ed Ehrenberger, will be recognized and Santa Claus will make an appearance, accompanied by the Grand Marshal of the Parade, thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation. After they both turn on the lights that will illuminate another holiday season downtown, a firework show will conclude the gala.

ENTERTAINMENT AND ACTIVITIES: Live entertainment and activities will be featured for visitors at Christmas Village until December 22, 2021.

FROM THE OGDEN CITY FIRE DEPARTMENT

Fire Safety This Holiday Season Home heating fires are one of the leading causes of home fires throughout the United States. Home heating sources include space heaters, fireplaces, wood stoves, and furnaces. Home heating fires peak in January and usually occur in the early evening hours between 5 and 9 p.m. Confined fires, such as fires confined to chimneys, flues, or fuel burners, account for 75% of home heating fires. Most nonconfined fires happen because the heat source (like a space heater or portable fireplace) is too close to things that can burn.

Did you know nearly half of holiday decoration fires happen because decorations are too close to a heat source? As you deck the halls this season, be fire smart.

Follow these heating tips to help prevent winter fires and to stay safe this winter season: • Keep anything that can burn at least three feet from all heat sources, including fireplaces, wood stoves, radiators, space heaters, or candles.

• Never use an oven to heat your home.

• Turn space heaters off when leaving the room or going to bed.

• Maintain heating equipment and chimneys by having them cleaned and inspected each year by a professional.

• Inspect holiday lights each year before you put them up and throw away strands that have frayed or pinched wires.

• A dry tree is dangerous because it can catch on fire easily; water it daily.

• Keep candles away from natural and artificial Christmas trees and decorations.

With these degrees, she would like to teach history in a junior high or high school setting.

Trenton is a senior and the last of three children in his family to graduate from Ben Lomond High School. He knows that he will miss a lot about being a student at Ben Lomond but is excited about what the future holds. His favorite subject in school is Sport Psychology, which makes sense because of his love for sports. His favorite sports to play are golf, basketball, and baseball. After he graduates, Trenton hopes to go to college, where he can work on his associate’s degree until he knows what career he wants to pursue; he also hopes to play some college golf. We hope for the best for you, Trenton. Keep working hard and having fun!

Maddy loves hanging out with family and friends, but most of the time, you can find her at the school; she is involved in many extracurricular activities, like Hope Squad, yearbook, spirit squad, choir, AP and concurrent enrollment classes.

She also likes to help student government with various things. Maddy has found that staying active outside of classes is a good way to make friends and have fun while in school.

Her favorite color is pink, and favorite treat is chocolate.

Way to go, Maddy, on all of your accomplishments! Keep doing good things.

"Never stop learning, because life never stops teaching."

YES, VIRGINA, THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS Virginia O’Hanlon, seen in this public domain photo from 1897, authored the famous “Is there a Santa Claus?” letter to the New York Sun.

Dear Editor,— I am 8 years old. Some of my little friends say there is no Santa Claus. Papa says, “If you see it in The Sun, it’s so.” Please tell me the truth, is there a Santa Claus?

-Virginia O’Hanlon

115 West Ninety Fifth Street Virginia, your little friends are wrong. They have been affected by the skepticism of a skeptical age.

They do not believe except they see. They think that nothing can be which is not comprehensible by their little minds. All minds, Virginia, whether they be men’s or children’s, are little. In this great universe of ours, man is a mere insect, an ant, in his intellect as compared with the boundless world about him, as measured by the intelligence capable of grasping the whole of truth and knowledge.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! how dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! It would be as dreary as if there were no Virginias. There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence.

We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished.

Not believe in Santa Claus! You might as well not believe in fairies. You might get your papa to hire men to watch in all the chimneys on Christmas Eve to

catch Santa Claus, but even if you did not see Santa Claus coming down, what would that prove? Nobody sees Santa Claus, but that is no sign that there is no Santa Claus. The most real things in the world are those that neither children nor men can see. Did you ever see fairies dancing on the lawn? Of course not, but that’s no proof that they are not there. Nobody can conceive or imagine all the wonders there are unseen and unseeable in the world.

You tear apart the baby’s rattle and see what makes the noise inside, but there is a veil covering the unseen world which not the strongest man, nor even the united strength of all the strongest men that ever lived could tear apart. Only faith, poetry, love, romance, can push aside that curtain and view and picture the supernal beauty and glory beyond. Is it all real? Ah, Virginia, in all this world there is nothing else real and abiding.

No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, Virginia, nay 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.

“Is There a Santa Claus?” reprinted from the Sept. 21, 1897, edition of the New York Sun was written by FRANCIS PHARCELLUS CHURCH. The editorial, which is in the public domain, is one of the most widely read articles in an American newspaper.

The Hands that Painted the Mural at 1750 Monroe Boulevard

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

On the day of the project, over 100 volunteers signed up. They finished the mural in three hours.

Have you seen the mural painted on the Monroe tunnel? This is the story behind that mural, and of the hundred hands that made it happen. First, it was an idea in the mind of Visit Ogden CEO, Sara Toliver.

It was up to Sara and her organization to host the Utah Tourism Conference in August. As hosts, they got to choose a “give back” as part of Utah’s Forever Mighty Project. Sara saw that there was a lot of potential for clean-up service projects around the community but wanted to also create a more unique opportunity for the volunteers to engage in our community.

Notably, she thought of the tunnel along the Ogden River Parkway. Longtime residents may remember that previous artists had painted it. Those early efforts were painted over. So, Sara decided the giveback would be

a mural in the same spot.

Next, Sara’s team came up with a design. Everyone wanted to reflect Ogden’s “mountain to metro” destination theme. The Ogden City Arts, Culture, and Events division manager, Christy McBride, plotted out the mural on the tunnel walls. Then, the Visit Ogden and Ogden City’s Arts teams got to work taping it off into a grid, so that many volunteers could paint at once.

On the day of the project, over 100 volunteers showed up. As a result, Visit Ogden was able to assign many volunteers to cleanup efforts along the parkway while others painted. They finished the mural in three hours.

Following the volunteer work, local artist, Richard Ramos, came to help paint the more intricate part of the artwork.

He incorporated Shalae Larsen’s historic 25th street-scape into the design. You might know 25th Street as Two-Bit Street, Two-Five Drive, or H-Two-Five.

The Transcontinental Railroad transformed this street into a tourist attraction. Not only did people from all over the world visit while riding the train, but locals would come to just see the train, even if they couldn’t afford to ride it. Hotels, bars, shops, casinos, and even brothels popped up along the street to capture the fascination of travelers.

SEE THE MURAL! Park at the Ogden MTC Botanical Gardens and walk west on the Ogden River Parkway towards Lorin Farr Park.

Long-time residents will remember previous artists painted it.

Then, interstate freeways and commercial airplanes wiped out the train industry. 25th Street missed its thousands of visitors a day. However,

Bars maintain the signed up. street’s history of They finished bootleggers. Local the mural in shopkeepers sell their three hours. products in the same windows as in the past. Theaters and art galleries also dot the street. Therefore, the street has a lot of historic and present value. When you visit, keep an eye out for their historic plaques that tell you about what the street used to look like.

Today, you can see 25th Street with the backdrop of the mountains painted by a hundred hands. They’ve all left the mark on the mural. You can visit Monroe Tunnel by parking at the Ogden MTC Botanical Gardens and walking West on the Ogden River Parkway towards Lorin Farr Park.

Visit Ogden's CEO Sara Toliver wanted to reflect the "mountain to metro" destination theme.

How to Raise Money-Smart Children

BY STACEY MACKAY BRANCH MANAGER, BANK OF UTAH

T

eaching children about finances and money principles can feel overwhelming. The good news is, it doesn’t require anything fancy or formal. Everyday experiences can be used to communicate key financial lessons and demonstrate good financial habits.

For example, parents can bring their children grocery shopping. Before heading out, make a list of needed items, such as milk, bread and laundry detergent. Set a budget and explain how much those items usually cost. While picking those items up at the store, identify them as needs: Milk is for breakfast, bread is for sandwiches and laundry detergent is for clean clothes. Then, pick up something that’s not on the list, such as a candy bar at checkout, and identify it as a want. Explain that after buying all the

needed items, you can buy something you want — only if you have money left over in your budget. If you don’t have extra money, put the candy bar back and say you don’t need it.

4 LESSONS to Teach Kids About Money 1

You’ve just given your child the opportunity to talk about needs versus wants — a foundational lesson to help children understand spending decisions. See how easy that was? Don’t stop there. Continue to build the lessons over time, from needs versus wants, to budgeting, to spending and saving. Doing so will set kids up for future success, when there’s more at stake than a candy bar, like credit scores and mortgages.

Start simple, with how money is used and earned. Young children can pretend.

Older children can get involved with moneyearning opportunities.

Children want their parents to teach them about money. That’s a fact. A recent study showed that kids are eager for parents to share their financial wisdom. T. Rowe Price’s 11th Annual Parents, Kids & Money Survey found half of the children surveyed wished their parents taught them more about finances and financial decision making.

Move on to spending and saving, using piggy banks at first and graduating to savings and checking accounts.

As you teach your children about money, here’s one final piece of advice: Be open with them about your own experiences with money. Help them learn from your mistakes and your successes.

Go to bankofutah.com to learn more about accounts for children and students, or visit your local Bank of Utah branch.

Explain how to manage money with a budget, accounting for needs and wants.

4 Don’t forget the credit talk as kids get older. Make sure they know how it works, especially how it has to be paid back.

+ A LOOK BACK couldn’t move or do anything. For women having their babies at the hospital, they would have to stay from 10-14 days after giving birth. The common practice was to have a bowel cleansing before you gave birth. Nurses would give enemas that they nicknamed the Triple H “High, Hot, and Heck of a lot!” They would also be responsible for drawing up medicines and narcotics like morphine and administering them without a pharmacist.

Women stayed in the hospital 10-14 days after giving birth and nurses were in charge of administering narcotics.

The History of Medical Advancements

BY SARAH LANGSDON

T

o put medicine in perspective in the early 1900s to the 1940s, it is helpful to note that very little was known about the causes and treatments of disease. Nor were there the benefits of modern medicines as we know them. Doctors and scientists didn’t know about bacteria and that they spread disease until 1890. It was not until early 1900 that vaccinations against diseases were discovered, as well as x-rays and its application to medicine. Even penicillin wasn’t discovered until the 1940s.

In Ogden, the Ogden Medical and Surgical Hospital opened in 1897 and served the city until the Thomas D. Dee Memorial Hospital was opened in 1910. Before that, many surgical procedures were done in the patient’s home, with little ability to provide a sterile environment. Some of the earliest doctors in Ogden had little to no medical training, with many getting experience from serving during the Civil War. From 1900 to the 1940s, there were not the medical advances that people are currently used to experiencing in a hospital setting. The nurses that

worked in the Dee Hospital often talked about having to sharpen their own needles before giving injections. They would carry around a sharpening stone and cotton to make sure the needle was sharp and had no snags on it.

Everything had to be reused; there were no disposable needles or rubber gloves.

The nurses talked about having to send everything down to Central Supply to be sterilized. According to Melva Crookston, a Dee School of Nursing graduate, “We sterilized those syringes.

The equipment was so old and ugly looking that I can’t imagine that it was too sterile. Maybe I shouldn’t be saying these things. Nothing was disposable.

I remember it was called a Wagonstein drain that they would put into the stomach, and icky stuff would come out into a bottle. We would have to dump it down and wash the bottles, clean them, and send them down to the central supply, where they were sterilized and sent back.”

Even medical procedures were different then they are today. If you had cataract surgery, you would recover in the hospital with two sandbags by your head and patches on your eyes. You

Medical equipment has also changed over the years. Before there were oxygen masks and cannulas, oxygen was administered through a plastic tent placed over the patient’s head. There were primitive tools also used, like a digit remover, to amputate a finger or toe. The first X-ray machine used in Ogden was in 1903 and was of poor quality. Surgeons during the early years used catgut sutures and marine sponges.

The sponges would have to be rinsed multiple times to make sure there was no sand inside them and then sterilized.

Medicine has evolved over the past 150 years. Poultices and brewed teas were once used to treat coughs, colds, and earaches; hospital equipment was reused and sterilized after each use.

Today, treatments are performed with disposable equipment and machinery that often takes the place of medical staff. With the growth of medicine, Ogden was able to witness its first blood transfusion, use of the iron lung to combat polio, and the revolution with the discovery of penicillin.

Before oxygen masks, oxygen was administered through a plastic tent over the patient's head.

ARTIST BIO

Kristen Curry

BY HAILEY MINTON

Kristen Curry loves the happiness and magic that comes from creating little worlds, prickly critters, and prickly peeps that might just be real. Her favorite thing to witness is joyful reactions to her work. “It’s a pleasure to know they feel the message I’m sharing.”

Kristen was the Ogden Community Art Show’s Best of Show winner for the Sustainable Planet show that ran fall of 2021. She made her illuminated

mushroom community from junk mail turned into paper mâché. The windows came from recycled Pom juice containers and acrylic glass paint. The title of the work is also a blessing: “May our colorful communities grow together through sustainable and thoughtful actions.”

Kristen always knew she was an artist, especially when others told her so; she soaked those comments in. She earned a Liberal Arts Degree from Weber State University, and she was always creating something as she raised her children, whether it was Halloween costumes or blankets. In her garden, she started by working with cement to create stepping stones, bird baths, and assemble her collected river rocks into creatures. After hurting her back lifting supplies, she knew she needed to shift to a medium that was less physically demanding.

She learned how to crochet when she was twelve, so she started crocheting little cacti and making miniature pots out of concrete.

“I love all kinds of mediums.

texture to make it feel more real.”

About six months after she had back surgery and was finally feeling well again, she got in a car accident that injured her back again. “I’ve never fully recovered from that accident and second surgery,” she said. “I’m not one to get lost in sadness.

I have so many things I want to do, so I don’t stay in that sad place. Creating enchanted works is my escape from the constant pain and dark thoughts. It’s a way to travel to enchanted places where joy grows.”

BOBBING FOR

APPLES

Where did this come from?

Surprisingly, even though it’s a fall activity, this game originated in Europe hundreds of years ago as a common way for young lovers to court one another. Each apple did you represented a special someone, know... and if the bobber, typically Apples are female, successfully bit into the apple with the name of a love 25% air interest in one go, then fortune (which is favored the lucky couple, and why they fate gave them the go-ahead. float) Two attempts meant their love wouldn’t last a long time, and three attempts to bite into the apple meant it would probably be best to not pursue it at all. That’s a lot of pressure for one apple.

Apple Pie Caramel Apples

to soften and then pour into a slow cooker to keep it soft. Dip each apple as far into the caramel as you’d like. I like to leave less than an inch of the green apple showing. Once dipped, pull the apple out above the caramel but still in the pot and twist and twirl it until all the excess drips off. Then, the apples rest on a baking sheet while the caramel hardens.

Now, get some water boiling in a pot. Put the chocolate in a metal bowl and then put that bowl over the boiling pot. You will have to mix the chocolate as it melts.

Take your caramel apples and First, stab your apples with the dip them into the chocolate but skewer. Do not pierce the apple just below the line of caramel. Lift all the way to the bottom. Also, and twist and twirl like you did keep in mind that the middle of before. While the chocolate is the apple isn’t necessarily where still warm, take a shaker and put it stands upright from.
