t’s hard to believe that summer has come and gone and it’s now time for students to get back to school again.

Both of my kids are off to their respective universities, and while I’m excited about their futures, I have to admit that I’ll miss them b-bopping around the house while they are away. I am grateful that they have the opportunity to pursue higher education, and I believe that the Ogden School District helped to pave the way for them to have access to this life-shaping opportunity.

That said, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome Luke Rasmussen to the Ogden School District as the new Superintendent. Luke is a tremendous supporter of our kids and has an authentic understanding of the challenges we face in today’s world. I believe there is no better champion for our children and the importance of education in our community. Recently, Ogden City was recognized as the most economically mobile community in the United States, and a significant factor in that is access to education and opportunity.

This August, Ogden had the unique honor of hosting the Utah Tourism Conference, hosted by the Weber County area tourism team, Visit Ogden.

Visit Ogden is our local visitor’s office and is largely responsible for the recruitment and booking of many big conferences and events that happen in Ogden each year.

Their small team does a phenomenal job of keeping our community in the eyes of site selectors across the country and getting the word out that Ogden is an incredible place to visit and do business. I want to extend congratulations to their fearless leader and CEO, Sara Toliver, who was inducted into the Utah Tourism Hall of Fame this year. Congratulations, Sara! We’re all so lucky to have you at the helm of Visit Ogden.

Hall of Fame recipients are nominated by their peers and selected annually for contributions made to Utah’s tourism industry at the state, regional, or local levels.

The Hall of Fame was first introduced in 1985 and has recognized 118 individuals who have elevated life in Utah through their leadership in tourism marketing, stewardship, and destination management. This honor is usually bestowed on individuals who are in or entering retirement, but like so many other industry trends, Sara and the Visit Ogden team are breaking the mold.

Finally, I want to thank everyone in our community for doing their part this summer while we experienced drought and extreme fire danger. It’s been a little rough, and our lawns have gone dormant a little earlier than usual, but I’m really proud of the good people of our city for adapting to environmental concerns and doing the right thing for our community, our friends, and our neighbors. That is the Ogden way, and I want to thank each of you for your compassion and kindness while we all work through these unique challenges together.

Wishing you all a wonderful fall season, Mike Caldwell Ogden City Mayor

City Updates Boots ‘n Bunkers’ Top Safety Tips!

Hey kiddos! Boots ‘n Bunker here to share a few friendly reminders with you about safety. Whether you are at home or at school, safety is everyone’s job! We hope you all have an awesome and safe ’21-’22 school year!

Make sure your house has smoke detectors! Ask your parents to check them and make sure they work. If you need smoke detectors in your home, have your parents call 801-629-8000 for information on how to get them at a discounted rate.

Know the sound of the smoke alarm. When you hear a loud “beep, beep, beep,” it means get out of the house!

If there is smoke in your home, get low and get out. Crawl low below the smoke.

Plan and practice EDITH: Exit Drills In The Home! Have two ways out of your bedroom and know where to meet the rest of your family once you are out. Practice!

If there is a fire, leave the house and then call 911 from a neighbor’s house or mobile phone. Know your address for the 911 dispatchers.

Never play with fire.

Lighters and matches are tools, not toys! If you find a lighter or matches, give them to an adult.

+

WE'RE FAMOUS!

Check out some fun safety videos by Googling “Boots n Bunker Safety Videos”. We’re YouTube famous!

With school starting, know how to get to school safely if you are walking or riding a bike. Look both ways twice before crossing the street, follow the instructions of the crossing guards, and don’t talk to strangers.

SUSTAINABILITY CORNER

Cut energy bills and clear the air: Empower Northern Utah Program returns

Weber State’s Empower Northern Utah program is back, offering residents discounted smart thermostats for under $60 (originally $169) and free LED lightbulbs in exchange for old incandescent and CFL bulbs!

Run by Weber State Sustainability in partnership with UCAIR, Ogden City, the H.E.A.T Program, and others, this program is making homes more efficient and reducing utility bills, with a focus on low-income to moderate-income households. These upgrades can help clean Utah’s wintertime air by reducing natural gas emissions.

The Nest Thermostat E can cut heating bills, saving the average U.S. household over $130 a year. Upgrading 10 light fixtures to LEDs can save residents approximately $55 a year.

Supplies are limited and will be offered on a first come, first serve basis. Visit Weber.edu/Empower for more information.

November 5th opening!

Transitions can be fun when you add art, not doughnuts!

BY LORIE BUCKLEY

As we all know, surprise transitions in life will take place whether we like them or not. Often, change or transitions are an uncomfortable experience, like learning a new process at work, moving to a new state, or making new friends.

In my experience, the delicious doughnuts and cookies I eat make the unfortunate transition into additional inches around my middle. (I have secretly been hoping for the invention of the everlasting doughnut chew.) Whatever way you experience these pesky life events, they always seem to be around the corner for us, but they are not always bad.

The newest transition in downtown Ogden happens to be occurring on the southwest corner of 25th Street and Ogden Avenue. This former location of the Courtyard Inn has been undertaking a grand metamorphosis. Changing from a dilapidated building to a shining “beacon” in the Nine Rails Creative District, the new plaza will function as a public space

6 ogdenconnection.com | September-October 2021

for art-based events, performances, film screenings, public art, and more.

It will be a great place to view worldclass art installations or enjoy lunch with a friend.

THE DUMKE ARTS PLAZA

Public art, film screening, and This new space is aptly named performances the Dumke Arts Plaza to honor the are just things generous contributions from the Dr. that will Ezekiel R. and Edna Wattis Dumke Foundation. Their donation allowed the happen in this arts plaza to transition from a dream new public art to reality for Ogden. Weber County space!

RAMP, Ogden Contemporary Arts, and Weber State University have also made contributions to this grand project.

The Dumke Arts Plaza will be completed this fall, with a grand opening celebration scheduled for the evening of November 5th, 2021 (barring any construction delays).

Meet me there during First Friday Art Stroll as we explore this new civic treasure.

Who knows? There may even be doughnuts or cookies to help me continue my transition into a perfectly round person, just like Violet Beauregarde.

Make Ogden Purple for WSU Homecoming

A

Help Make Ogden Purple to show your community pride during Weber State University’s Homecoming, Oct. 8-15.

mir Jackson, a member of the Weber State Alumni Association Board of Directors and founder of Nurture the Creative Mind, wants others to share his enthusiasm for Weber State’s contributions and connections in the community.

“Everyone is invited to look for creative ways to “purple up” Ogden,” Jackson said. “We want this to be an authentic show of support.”

Individuals, businesses, schools and institutions can all do something different, but the week is meant as a visual reminder of the importance of the collaboration between Ogden City and Weber State. Businesses and homeowners are planning to shine their purple lights in signs and windows. Weber State banners, flyers, and art will adorn downtown sidewalks and power poles.

Homecoming activities begin Oct. 8th with the 16th annual Outdoor Gear Sale and Swap, a popular community event to help get ready for the upcoming winter activities available in northern Utah.

Dog lovers will enjoy a walk with their pets during the Purple Paw Parade in downtown Ogden on Oct. 9th.

The Homecoming Pep Rally, featuring athletes, coaches, Waldo, and the nationally award-winning Spirit Squad, will be held Oct. 8th at the Stewart Bell Tower Plaza. The week of activities culminates with the annual game. This year, the Wildcats go up against perennial rival Montana State on Friday, Oct. 15th. The best seats will be in Stewart Stadium, but ESPNU will also feature the game. Tickets are on sale at weberstatetickets.com.

“We need to come together as a community, and what better way than by showing our purple pride for the university that unites us all?” Jackson asks.

Weber State was founded in 1889 and now proudly boasts 326,084 alumni whose accomplishments and community connections are worth Making Ogden Purple.

LETTER

FROM OGDEN SCHOOL DISTRICT SUPERINTENDENT

Dear Ogden Community,

Luke Rasmussen, Ogden School District

I am honored to represent our amazing community, staff, and students as the Superintendent of Ogden School District. The 20202021 school year was a year like no other in the history of education.

Our Ogden community was able to rise to the challenge and make the best of the last school year under extremely difficult circumstances.

Although some aspects of the school year were very challenging, we learned a lot together and have grown from the experience. I am excited to welcome our students back to our schools for the 20212022 school year. Our district staff will continue to work hard to make it the best experience possible for our students and families.

In Ogden School District, we have the exciting opportunity for our diverse students, community, and staff to engage in the educational process together. Our wonderful students come from so many different backgrounds. One of the things I have always been proud of in Ogden is that our school personnel strive to meet each student where they are along the learning continuum. As we get ready to return to school, it is exciting to see the plans that schools have put in place to help all of our students be successful and to feel that success.

Some of the areas of focus in our schools this year will be literacy support, increased opportunities for students to explore career pathways, increased partnerships with our community, and social and emotional support for our students and staff.

8 ogdenconnection.com | September-October 2021

As educators, we are here for you and your students and welcome you with open arms. Please know that we want our amazing families to feel welcome in our schools, and we encourage you to be involved in our schools and take advantage of the resources schools offer for both our families and our students. Partnering with our families and strengthening our relationships through community partners and family engagement will be essential if we hope to achieve the greatest success for our students.

I encourage students to find opportunities to be engaged in extracurricular activities and programs at our schools. We know that the more our students are engaged and connected to schools, the more successful those students will be. As families and students start receiving information about backto-school nights and opportunities to engage in the many programs available, please do not hesitate to inquire at your schools about how to take advantage of all that our schools have to offer.

In closing, I would like to thank our great community and all of our stakeholders for the privilege to serve you as the Superintendent of Ogden School District. The future is bright. Our students matter. To me, educating our youth has always been the noblest of professions. I can’t wait to see our students return to school on August 20th.

Luke Rasmussen

Superintendent, Ogden School District

S

ince 1889, Ogden has been “Home of Weber State University.” The 132 years of great, Great, GREAT support provided by this community makes Weber State not only an exceptional university but YOUR exceptional university.

For example, earlier in 2021, Weber State ranked as the #19 Most Affordable with Best Return University in the United States out of over 2,000 colleges.

Weber State is the only Utah System of Higher Education institution included in the top 50 of these rankings, and also the only open-enrollment institution on the affordable schools’ top 50 list.

Our vision propels us to provide this type of accessible, impactful education as we strive to be a leader in transforming lives by meeting all students where they are, challenging and guiding them to achieve their goals academically and in life.

This vision can be traced back exactly 100 years. In late summer 1921, a Weber College faculty member helped a young, firstgeneration student from western Weber County attend college and pursue his business dreams, even though he lacked the funds or high school credits to qualify. That faculty member, Aaron Tracy, went on to become the president of the college.

And that student, J. Willard Marriott, Sr., went on to found a multi-billion dollar, international hospitality company.

In 2021, hundreds of dedicated faculty and staff seek to deliver that same Aaron Tracy-level of personalized support and mentoring to ensure students achieve success.

Whether seeking an education to pursue graduate studies at elite institutions like Oxford or Carnegie Mellon University, or seeking an

LETTER

education that allows a single parent to provide immediately for family, Weber State offers boundless opportunities for learning with individualized attention. The impact of this often results in students achieving dreams far beyond what they believed they could realize.

Perhaps nothing illustrates the impact of this more than the fact that during the COVID-19 pandemic, our 2019-20 and 2020-21 graduating classes have been the largest ever recorded. We are fortunate that, before the pandemic, 20 percent of university classes were taught online, giving us the expertise in remote learning that enabled thousands of students to continue their education through historic disruptions. Yet we yearn for a return to in-person learning and on-campus activities this fall and invite you to join us physically or virtually for classes or events.

We also are fortunate that as a dual-mission university, we offer certificates, associate’s, bachelor’s, and master’s degrees that “stack” to allow students to lockin educational milestones. With any level of credential in hand, students can pursue career opportunities or build further academic qualifications, knowing that no personal or global crisis can strip them of their degree.

An ambitious few are even now pursuing their doctorate of nursing practice degree at WSU, our first doctoral program at the university.

Knowing the post-pandemic landscape would be changed, our Board of Trustees approved an updated strategic plan for the first time in over a decade. That plan — Weber State Amplified: A 5-year Plan for Growth — positions WSU to better serve the evolving workforce and civic needs of

FROM WEBER STATE PRESIDENT

Brad L. Mortensen, Ph D., Weber State Ogden and the greater community.

Follow us as we expand programs in engineering, computer science, health professions, sustainability, outdoor recreation, social work, supply chain management, arts learning, environmental science, digital literacy, and other areas to prepare graduates for the future of work and support a thriving and vibrant community.

As alumni, students, employees, fans, and future Wildcats, please know you are part of the Weber State family. We invite you to engage with us as we strive to give our home of Ogden a bright future.

Best,

Brad L. Mortensen, Ph.D.

President, Weber State University

DIVERSITY CORNER

Diversity is a fact -- Inclusion is an act The terminology of diversity and inclusion can be confusing. Many use these terms interchangeably.

To clarify, Verna Myers, Vice President of inclusion strategy at Netflix, said, “Diversity is being invited to the party; inclusion is being asked to dance.”

Diversity is often defined as involving people from a range of various backgrounds and can include different genders, races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, ages, social classes, physical ability, religions, political beliefs, marital status, interests, opinions, and more. The elements of diversity describe what is fact. Embracing diversity is to respect, appreciate, and value the differences in each other.

Inclusion focuses on acts, efforts, and practices that we implement to help everyone feel accepted and welcomed.

You can gather a diverse group of people where many do not feel included. Basically, diversity is involving people from various backgrounds, and inclusion is when we create practices that help people feel accepted and encouraged to engage and contribute.

IN THIS ISSUE, we are excited to present to you a group of community influencers. If you are internet savvy, that term has become more and more ubiquitous as brands the world over seek to get positive impact from an internet “influencer.” If you are less inclined to spend time on social media, this term might be less familiar. The way we define it is the people in our community who have a positive influence over others through their leadership, success, and desire to give back. These members of our community have been nominated by their peers as outstanding performers and leaders. Some are up-andcoming rising stars, and others are long established authorities.

The thing we have found as we have the unique opportunity to get to know both community and business influencers is that, among these folks, there is a sincere desire to do good. These spotlights have highlighted that desire in many of these influencers. From the choices people make regarding what they will do for work or the extra ways people give back and make an effort to make our community better.

EARLY ENTREPRENEURS: The men and women who helped build Ogden

BY SARAH LANGSTON

B

y 1869, Ogden was well on its way to be a thriving and bustling city. The railroad brought many new entrepreneurs to the area who made the city home and created businesses that lasted for decades.

In 1890, Thomas B. and George M. Wheelwright opened a second-hand store in Ogden, Utah. The store sold anything that was resalable.

It also provided gun repair, locksmith, and basic handyman services to the area. In 1894, the business changed its name to Wheelwright Brothers Mercantile Co. Inventory was expanded to include new stoves, hardware, and crockery. By 1896, the Wheelwright Brothers had opened a shop at 2476 Washington Boulevard. The store filed saws, fitted keys, repaired stoves, and rented furniture. By 1898, they branched out to sell the latest designs of crockery, lamps, and glassware. The Wheelwright Brothers eventually expanded to include a construction outfit that worked on ditches and laying pipes.

In 1907, a sawmill was built on the current property between 24th and 25th on Quincy Avenue. At the time, it was considered the outskirts of town. Before long, the demand for precut lumber soon exceeded the production ability of the mill. In 1908, the name of Wheelwright Lumber Co. was officially adopted.

John Brown opened the Brown Ice

Cream Company could be visited at 2577 Grant Avenue in 1904.

The company was famous for its chocolate fudge sherbet, angel ice cream, and brick ice cream. They were a popular treat for the people of Ogden and were used in events such as the anniversary of the W.H. Wright and Sons store in 1907. The ice cream plant was built just north of 25th street on Lincoln. It was one of the most modern in the west and successfully operated year-round to distribute thousands of gallons of ice cream through Utah. The Margaret Stewart was an company in the 1930s operated accountant who kiosks, selling the ice cream started several and famous Eskimo Pies in organziations local parks. The Eskimo Pie was first introduced in 1922 as a combination of Delicia ice cream and sweet chocolate. The product met with instant approval from its customers. John Brown created one of the largest ice cream companies in the intermountain area. He passed away in January 1944.

William “Billy” Gibson Wilson was born in Scotland in 1850 and immigrated to Ogden in 1870. He owned and operated a lumber mill in Ogden Canyon with his family.

The mill provided the lumber needed to build the Hermitage Resort in the canyon. The resort opened its doors in the summer of 1893. The Hermitage advertised meals at all hours. One of the first events held there was for the Grand Army of the Republic. They had dinner, a speaker, and music outside in the

grove. The Hermitage was a popular dance and dining destination for Ogdenites looking for a getaway.

It even played host to presidents William H. Taft and Theodore Roosevelt. The hotel was famous for its chicken and trout dinners. In the winter, the Hermitage provided a wonderful place for cross-country skiing and lodging in one of its 41 rooms in the two-story hotel.

Billy Wilson operated the hotel until 1918, when he died of the Spanish influenza. The building was eventually sold to another owner but burned down in 1939.

Ogden saw its fair share of female business owners too. Olive Browning Wallace owned and operated Wallace Drug at 2349 Washington with her husband Joseph Wallace. She served as the president of the company, with her husband as secretary and treasurer. The company advertised all types of remedies, like headache tea, stomach and liver tablets, and One Minute Cough Core for helping children with croup and lung troubles. In 1899, she sued Sheriff Charles Layne, who took possession of the drug store by virtue of an

execution on a judgement against her husband. Olive claimed that it was her store and brought a suit for $2,000, including $1,000 for the stock of goods seized and $200 for damages. A judge found in her favor, and she was awarded possession of the store.

Margaret Stewart was born and educated in Scotland before coming to Ogden in 1912. She was a certified public accountant. In 1918, she organized the Merchants Credit Bureau. The organization offered to help catch up delinquent accounts for businesses. They would only take a commission on any accounts paid. Stewart became the first woman in the United States to own an adjustment bureau. She worked with her clients to help them take care of their accounts. She also hired women and taught them valuable skills. Stewart operated the bureau for 45 years before retiring in 1962. She was also one of the founders of the Ogden Business and Professional Women’s Club and was treasurer of the National Business and Professional Women’s Club for 13 years.

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY 2001-2021

It's been 20 years; do we still

REMEMBER?

BY HAILEY MINTON

Ogden firefighters reflect on how the terrorist attack changed America and how we have changed since.

Firefighter Chris Berry had just finished his paramedic training and was offered a job in Provo. “That morning, I was at home, and my wife was at work. She called me and told me to turn on the tv. I spent a few hours watching it, and I got so angry. I had to turn it off. I could only watch the same video so many times.” He didn’t want to start his career angry. The following February, the winter Olympics were held in Utah. “"It was a weird feeling because we couldn’t really relax and enjoy the wonderful time because of the national security threat we felt like we still had. In downtown Provo, there were federal law enforcement snipers on the roofs every day. I was so paranoid, I sent my wife and new daughter away to St George for the week.

28 ogdenconnection.com | September-October 2021

Heaven forbid, if something were to happen, I didn’t want them here for it.”

He absolutely loved how patriotic everyone became after the attack. Cars had American flag stickers on them, and houses were flying American flags. “We had a lot of national pride. There were people joining the military, police, and fire departments like crazy. Then it tapered off. It was sobering to see that we as a nation just moved on. After a year, we forgot.

American flags came down, and we moved on to the next tragedy or the next important thing in our lives.”

As I was researching, I found there were over 250 nonprofit organizations that collectively raised $700 million within their first two years of operation. By 2012, many of them disbanded due to lack of funding as time went on. One that

"AFTER A YEAR, WE FORGOT. is still around today is 9/11 AMERICAN FLAGS Day, and they have turned the anniversary into a national CAME DOWN, day of service. Cindy McGinty her husband in the attack AND WE MOVED lost and said, “We can’t bring our loved ones back. But perhaps, ON TO THE in tribute, we can work to NEXT TRAGEDY rekindle the spirit of unity that arose in the aftermath OR THE NEXT of the attacks.” If you want to IMPORTANT take action, visit serve911.org for details about participating THING IN OUR in a local food drive, blood drive, 5k or 2k race fundraiser, LIVES." or a service project.

Chris said, “We need to teach kids and people to care more about each other than themselves. We’re so focused on our own life that we forget about the other people across the street. We don’t know our neighbors like we used to. We drive recklessly because we’re only caring about our own little sphere.” He sees a need to live compassionately and empathetically and teach those qualities to our children. As a nation, empathy was evoked in us that day 20 years ago, but as time goes on, it seems like it takes more effort individually to keep that empathy alive.

Firefighter Richard Kropp was a high school sophomore in New Jersey, right across the Hudson River and from the twin towers. He was in German Club watching a movie when another student came in and told everyone to go to the window. Everyone was confused. They could see the first tower on fire. “We weren’t quite close enough to see

the second plane, but we saw the fireball.” A lot of kids in his school had family who worked around there. “There were a lot of people who were really affected by it. Everyone was just trying to figure out if their family was okay. It was the age of cellphones, but everybody didn’t always have one. It was a very emotional day to say the least.”

Each of the firefighters had vivid memories of that day.

Some were into their careers as firefighters, and some were influenced to become a firefighter because of what happened. A few of them were in elementary school and participated in fundraisers for those who were affected.

For those who were children at the time, it was hard to comprehend what had happened, but they all understood it was really, really bad. Time seemed to stop. Everyone was glued to the television as the events of that day unfolded.

Weber Remembers 9/11 Project A great way to remember what happened that day is to attend Weber Remembers 9/11 Project at the Weber County Fairgrounds.

All the events are free. The exhibit is an interactive museum experience using photo boards that were created to help visitors walk back in time. The time frame covers the late 1990s through the day of the terrorist attack and then into the response recovery time period. The north parking lot will have an exhibit of emergency and military vehicles where you can take pictures and talk with the professionals. There will also be live local entertainers. They need 400 volunteers over the course of the three days, so if you’re interested in helping, visit majorbrenttaylor.com.

First Responder of The Year Event Young Ford Ogden hosted an event on Friday, July 30th, 2021, and donated a new 2021 Ford F150 to an Ogden Police officer.

The winner was Officer Molly Nold. Molly was not present to accept the keys, so her lucky husband and fellow Ogden Police Department Officer, Zach, had the privilege of driving the sweet ride home.

Young Ford in Ogden, in partnership with Ford Motor Company, KSL, and Goldenwest Credit Union, showed appreciation for the first responders in the Ogden City Police Department. It is the second year this event has taken place.

Last year, the Ogden Fire Department vied for the chance at taking home a beautifully wrapped, custom F-150.

The event took place from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. It began with a brief parade along Wall Ave, followed by a few words from partners of the event, Mayor Mike Caldwell and Chief Eric Young. Molly’s name was drawn at random and presented by the general manager of Young Ford Ogden, Curtis Groft. “We’re grateful for their service, and we’re showing it by giving away

The day is made up of live music, entertainment, arm wrestling, pumpkin decorating and more than 20 children’s activities with support from Weber County RAMP, local nonprofits and onstreet businesses. September 18.

ARTIST BIO

but she moved to Ogden in 1981. She raised her two children here and thought of them as sculptures when they were young to help her be patient in raising them.

Many of her sculptures are based upon her drawings from the Saturday community drawing sessions at Weber State University. These sessions were suspended due to the pandemic, but she is hopeful they will return soon.

“They have been very valuable to me.”

It gives local artists the opportunity to draw or paint a live model each week for minimal cost. While she was studying figure painting with Paul Davis, she felt the allotted three hours to draw a complete figure from a model was insufficient. He suggested she draw only the portion that moved her. Now, when she draws from a model, she looks for the most interesting shapes that have sculpture potential.

Her journey to where she is today goes back to when she was a child. “Other children praised my drawings at a summer camp, and they began

Suzanne Storer’s sculpture, “Essential,” (right) won Best of Show in Ogden’s first Community Art Show, which ran from June through August at the Ogden Union Station. “Figurative Sculpture in high relief utilizes all the skills and interests I have to offer,” she said.

Suzanne grew up in Portland, Oregon,

calling me an artist.

That’s when I began thinking I was one.”

Submitting her work to various shows was instrumental in her journey. Her art was in the Oregon State Fair as a child. While at art school, she had her work in a national show, and later, her work was reviewed by Sculpture Review Magazine. She was also a semifinalist in the Smithsonian Portrait Competition in 2014.

“Ogden City and the Eccles Art Center have been developing and supporting local artists for years. I was very grateful to receive the award for Lifetime Contribution in The Arts. The city helped sponsor my relief assemblage, “Looking to The Future”, which is on the cafeteria wall at Lantern House.

When Should Children Get a Debit Card?

a Debit Card Can Prepare Children for the Real World

BY STACEY MACKAY BRANCH MANAGER, BANK OF UTAH

The 2021-22 school year is officially in session, and students are getting back into the swing of things.

This time of year always comes with extra expenses, it seems — a yearbook order here, a school shirt purchase there, or even a completely unexpected “Oh no, I lost my lunchbox and need a new one!” cost.

Instead of sending children out with cash to cover their purchases — which is easily lost and most often unrecoverable — perhaps it’s time to get them a debit card. After all, a debit card can be a practical way to teach accountability and money management. It’s a big financial step, though, so how do parents know when and if their child is ready?

Great question.

Here’s a rule of thumb:

It often makes sense for young people to have a checking account and debit card around the time they enter high school, get their driver’s license, and get a job. These major milestones correspond to taking on greater responsibility and also having both income and expenses to manage.

When a parent decides their child is ready to open an account and get a debit card, it is imperative to remain involved in their financial education. While debit cards are convenient financial tools, they also make it easier to spend money. Parents should set guidelines for what children can use the debit card for and teach them to monitor their transactions closely. And while parents are

guiding their children through the ins and outs of debit card usage, another skill to teach is budgeting. They go hand in hand.

A final thought: When children

make mistakes with a debit card while they’re young, the consequences are usually small (most banks, Bank of Utah included, have precautions in place to prevent big, expensive problems). Once they go to college or start living on their own, however, the consequences can be great. Teaching

children valuable financial skills early can get them started on a successful financial journey.

Giving children relevant experience with a debit card can help prepare them for the real world by helping them understand.

2 How to use online and mobile banking to monitor accounts and transactions

3 How to earn, save and spend responsibly

Dutch Oven Mountain Dew Chicken Recipe adapted from www.dutchovendude.com.

If your oven hasn’t been calibrated lately, or your roast is on the smaller side, check for doneness at 5-6 hours. Each oven and each roast size vary. More marbling i.e., less meat, could cook quicker. The roast should fall apart when tested with a fork.

BY KRISTINA CASE

This recipe has been modified to cook on the grill instead of the traditional way with charcoal, so you can enjoy it when you’re not camping. It’s one of my kids’ favorite Dutch oven recipes!

1 lb. bacon 1 gallon Zip-loc bag with 1 cup flour & 2 tbsp. Lawry’s 4 chicken breasts, cut in half 4 potatoes, diced 1 bag baby carrots 1 large onion, chopped 1 can Mountain Dew soda ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Preheat 12-inch Dutch oven by placing on pre-heated grill at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Chop bacon into 1" pieces and add to Dutch oven, then chop onions and add to bacon. Cook until onions are soft and bacon is crispy. Shake chicken breasts in baggie of flour to coat; cook in bacon grease to brown, about 5 minutes, turning a couple times. Add carrots, potatoes, and Mountain Dew, and cook about an hour with lid on. Move chicken to top and sprinkle cheese over the chicken. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Traditional Dutch oven cooking method: Cover with lid and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes with ¾ of coals on lid.

Kendal's Dutch Oven Pot Roast

BY KENDAL JENSEN

This recipe can be made in a traditional Dutch oven or an enamled cast iron cooking pot.

3 lbs. beef chuck roast 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix 4 cups of beef stock or 1 Tbsp of beef base (I prefer Minor’s) with 4 cups of hot water 2 yellow onions, cut into chunks 2 Tbsp minced garlic 1 stick of salted butter 2 cups of carrots, cut into chunks 3 cups of russet or red potatoes, cut into chunks I use some salt and pepper and a little oil for searing.

Season roast liberally with salt and pepper on all sides, rubbing seasoning into the meat. Put Dutch oven on the stove and heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear roast on all sides in olive oil until golden brown. Deglaze Dutch oven with beef stock. Put roast, carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic in Dutch oven with roast. Sprinkle dry ranch seasoning over roast. Place the cube of butter on top of the roast. Replace the Dutch oven lid and put it in an oven. You can bake it as low as 200 degrees F for 8 hours.

If you’d like to cook it faster, you can roast it at 300 degrees F for 4-5 hours.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole Adapted from Lillie Eats and Tells

BY HAILEY MINTON

1 medium to large spaghetti squash ½ medium onion diced 1 lb. lean ground turkey 1-2 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 2 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder 1 14.5-oz can of diced or stewed tomatoes 5 cloves garlic 2-3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped 2 cups (or more!) of cauliflower cream sauce or marinara sauce ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a touch of salt, and bake in a preheated oven of 400 degrees for 40 minutes. While the squash is baking, heat a large pan with oil and add onions and salt. Cook until tender. Add ground turkey and salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Add tomatoes and the 5 cloves of garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. When the squash is baked and has cooled a bit, scoop the squash into a Dutch oven and add the meat mixture, sauce, and chopped basil. Mix thoroughly and smooth the top when you’re finished.

Top with the cheese, place the lid on top, and bake in your oven at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes.

Cauliflower Cream Sauce 8 cloves garlic, minced 1 Tbsp butter 5-6 cups cauliflower florets (about 1 ½ heads) 1 cup chicken stock 1 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper ½ cup milk Steam the cauliflower 7-10 minutes or until tender.
