The Ogden Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-C​ache National Forest, Weber Pathways, Ogden Trails Network and the Ogden Valley invites the public to join us for the 2nd annual Ogden, Ogden Valley Weeds Days, and National Trails Day Adopt -A-Trail kickoff.

Target weeds include, dyers woad, puncture vine, dalmation toadflax, myrtle spurge, leafy spurge, yellow starthistle, whitetop, burdock, and hounds tongue.

Control methods will include hand pulling and possible bagging. Forest Service crews will be using herbicides on-site.

Everest College Instructor Presents Motivating the Adult Learner at Denver’s 45th Annual National Surgical Technologists Conference
 
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – May 2014 –  Those fresh out of high school aren’t the only students pursuing higher education. The fact is there are over four million adult learners enrolled at private sector institutions across the country. Sugey Briones, Everest College’s surgical technologist program director in Salt Lake City, knows these learners and has been teaching them for over three years. Most importantly, she knows how to meet the specific needs adult learners require in the classroom.
 
“Adults who return to the classroom or who may be reluctantly taking a new class after many years away, need to feel valued, they need to know their views and opinions are appreciated, and they need to feel their voices will be heard,” said Briones.
 
Briones, a certified surgical technologist who also holds a bachelor’s degree in healthcare administration, will share these and other insights at the 45th Annual National Surgical Technologists Conference, May 26 – 30, in Denver. Her presentation, Motivating the Adult Learner, focuses on how instructors can have successful outcomes in the classroom by incorporating a few simple techniques.
 
A few of Briones’ techniques include being well prepared and diverse in teaching methods. She also believes instructors need to be tech savvy, positive and inspirational.
 
“Ultimately the best way to work with adults in the classroom is to respect the fact that they are essentially your equals,” she said.  “It is really about creating a mutual respect and fostering a renewed ‘love of learning’ in the classroom.”

About Everest College
Everest College’s Salt Lake City campus, located at 3280 West 3500 South, offers a variety of programs for students, including criminal justice, business, paralegal, nursing, medical administrative assistant, medical assistant and medical insurance billing and coding.

REEBOK SPARTAN RACE EXPECTED TO DRAW THOUSANDS OF COMPETITORS

AND SPECTATORS FROM AROUND THE WORLD TO SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

World Leader in Obstacle Racing Presents Spartan Beast

at Soldier Hollow June 28

BOSTON, April 28, 2014 – Thousands of competitors from across the U.S. and several foreign countries representing every walk of life, age, stage and varying degrees of athletic abilities, along with spectators, will converge on Soldier Hollow in Salk Lake City, Utah.* to tackle the Reebok Spartan Race Beast.        

The Spartan Beast will take place Saturday, June 28. “The 10+-mile Spartan Beast’s mix of mud and gnarly outdoor obstacles will test experienced racers’ physical strength and mental resolve,” said Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena.

“The unique obstacle course will demand every ounce of strength, ingenuity and animal instinct you thought you lost three generations ago,” De Sena continued, adding that course details are kept secret until competitors experience them firsthand on race day. The top three male and top three female finishers at the Saturday race will qualify for free entry into a future Spartan Beast race of his or her choice.

Events will start at 8:00 a.m.  Final race-day schedules will be posted on the Spartan Race website a few days prior to the event dates.

Daylong activities also will include the Jr. Spartan Adventure Race benefiting Kids Fit Foundation. A leader in the movement to help children learn life-long health and fitness habits, Kids Fit Foundation strives to raise awareness and develop programs that educate, empower and inspire kids to become and stay fit.

Founded in 2010, the race series expects to attract 1 million athletes at over 80 events in 2014, many of whom are people looking for a new alternative to more traditional forms of fitness.  Spartan Race currently has more than 3 million “likes” on Facebook and is one of the fastest growing series in the sport of obstacle racing.
