North Ogden’s Employee of the Month is Rob Scott. Rob has been with the City for just over four years as the planning director. Rob has an extensive history in Planning and has worked for several organizations in Davis County, Weber County, Medford Oregon, as well as participated in several planning and community oriented organizations. Rob has helped guide the planning staff and City Council through some of the most difficult development proposals the City has seen. Rob’s professional approach to the land use process is very appreciated by the various applicants who consistently tell the City leadership how nice it is to work with Rob and his team. Rob and his family enjoy the outdoors and spend a lot of time at their property up in the hills working on the family yurt and creating a little piece of paradise. Rob also has a great collection of wildlife photos and other items he has gathered through the years.
The City has scheduled the spring Green Waste Pick Up for May 14-18, 2018. Collection will be on your regular garbage day; however, the volume of material may delay collection a day or two. The regulations mentioned below MUST be followed when placing material out for collection.
The compost facility is open at no cost May 14-18, 2018 from 8:00am to 4:00pm in addition to the regular hours on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. If you have questions if your items will be accepted contact Brian Galvez at 782-8111, or email bgalvez@nogden.org.
Youth Council went to a 3 day Leadership Training. This year the theme was rise above, stand together, be the good.
Rise Above: We need to rise above set goals for the future and not dwell on the past. The first night there was a hypnotist, Shawn Paulsen. His show was fantastic! What made his show interesting is that he is blind and has a terminal illness, but he didn't let this pull him down. Instead he took the opportunity to rise above and learn how to still do what he loves.
Stand Together: At this conference we got to listen to Steve McKell. He was kidnapped at gunpoint when he was 15. He was a quick thinker and was able to escape captivity. He taught us when we stand together and help each other we are able to overcome the trials of life.
Be the Good: At this training we had the chance to split up and meet with other youth from different councils. Some groups went to retirement homes and played games with the elderly, some collected donations for the food bank or helped with an after school reading program. A great 3 days.
Students of the month are: Alex Griffeth from Weber High School
Caleb Sears from Maria Montessori Academy
Cyndel Bunner from North Ogden Junior High School
Tyla Longfellow from Orion Junior High School
Weber High School STANDOUT is Brad Hawks. Leading the HOPE Squad at Weber High, Brad Hawks wants to spread happiness and inclusion in a world that is becoming increasingly dark, Brad Hawks, senior at Weber High, desires to fill it with something lighter, something better. His message? Hope. “We want to bring hope to the school and help people feel like they are important,” Hawks said. “Because they matter,” he adds. For this reason, Hawks has led the Weber High HOPE Squad, acting as its President throughout his senior year of high school. HOPE stands for Hold On, Pause, Encourage and was founded by Dr. Greg Hudnall who initially implemented the program in the Provo school district. It has since proven successful in nearly all school districts in Utah while also spreading across the country. The HOPE squad acts like an underground organization that sets the tone or atmosphere for the school year, meant to combat the recent and alarming rise in teen suicides. “We set a positive tone because I’ve seen the happiness we spread and the smiles are contagious,” said Hawks. Inside the HOPE Squad is a group of students who are trained to help with mental health awareness and suicide prevention. They are also a team to be nice and spread that goodness throughout the school, without necessarily being recognized for it. Hawks said, “We are the eyes and ears of the counselors. We are trained on the warning signs of suicide and depression. This helps us recognize people in crisis and be able to help them, or get them help.” To that cause, the group tries subtly to be kind. Great job Brad!
