Show THE OGDEN VALLEY NEWS Page 20 “= July 1, 2006 PARK cont. from page 1 NORDIC Now, thanks to the efforts of just a few volunteers, thousands of people will be able to enjoy all that the community center has to offer. It will house meetings, exercise classes, reunions, quilting guilds, parties, emergency preparedness classes, book discussion groups, more. It will have a furnace, fireplace, upgraded restrooms, and remodeled kitchen. And that’s just the beginning! It’s your park, it’s your community center, what do you want to use it for? The Eden Park is getting better every day, but there is still a lot that can be approved upon and accomplished. You have just read what powerful effects the efforts of just a few individuals can achieve. The Eden Park committee is now looking to find individuals who want to make a difference in their park and their community. The Park Board is looking for people to form small groups to help address and solve some of the many areas in which the park could develop and improve Does the playground have the play sets you would like your children have to enjoy? Would you like tennis courts? Could the arena use bleachers or lights? Are the fields being used in the best way possible for soccer, football, etc.? Are the baseball/softball fields everything you want them to be? What about the famous Eden Park 4th of July celebration? How is the parade? Sherene Keith has already done an amazing job with this but I am sure she could use your help and ideas. What do you love about the park? What would you like changed? Make sure your voice is heard by volunteering for the benefit of the Eden Park and the surrounding community. People have different ideas and different abilities—they are all welcome It’s easy to become involved. Just contact one of the board members and let them know your ideas, and how you would like to help. Together, we can make the Eden Park a safe, fun environment for everyone. Eden Park Board Rod Peterson Grant Weller Lisa Pack Sharon Vause Deborah Hegg Members VALLEY cont. from page 1 GARAGE Grant monies will go towards making equipment available, such as chippers, for clearing fuels. The recently formed Nordic Valley Community Wildfire Council is in charge of collecting information that can be used toward acquiring matching grant funds under the program. Homeowners can submit dates and hours spent working, as well as other expenses related to fuel reduction. These work submissions can possibly date back several years based on credible documentation. Coordinator Kelly Allen will then determine, and ultimately assign, dollar amounts for each homeowner’s grant request submission. Matching grant forms can be obtained through council members David Berry at 745-3887 or Karen Taylor at 7459258. Forms will also be available at the Eden Post Office. Deadline for submitting forms to David Berry is July 8, 006 For more information, please call council members listed above. Personnel from the U.S. Forest Service is available to provide individual lot assessments of what fire fuels are most dangerous at each site. However, because their time may be limited as they move into the fire season, a class is being offered to teach community members how to conduct their own fire assessments. The class will take about four hours to complete. At least 11 individuals from the community are needed before aclass can be held. If interested, please call Dan Collins at 745Local tree services and landscaping firms can also provide free estimates. These costs could be used toward the matching grant. Troy Carlin of Little C Tree Service has agreed to be an advisor to the council, and take the assessment training offered by the Forest Service. He can be reached at 392-3332 The council will also be working with Weber County Emergency Management and Homeland Security to develop an emergency evacuation plan for Nordic Valley. include: 745-3942 745-3949 745-2349 745-3611 745-1538 Internet sites for more information regarding projects and programs throughout the state: additional http://www. ffsl.utah.gov/firemet/WUI/CFP, pln.htm www.ffslutah.gov/ http://www. firewise ity a Devoted to Your Dreams . fi SALE cont. on page 20 Elizabeth, and her younger sister Katie rose to the challenge. A few years later, neighbors Dave and Julie Broderick lost their infant son Jacob at birth to birth defect trisomy-18. McKay Dee Hospital’s Labor and Delivery Unit provided the Brodericks with some special memorabilia of Jacob to help them deal with the loss. In memory of Jacob, that summer Elizabeth and Katie added the Labor and Delivery departments of McKay-Dee and Ogden Regional as two more beneficiaries of the garage sale to help provide memory boxes, rings, stuffed animals, disposable cameras, gowns, etc. to families who have an infant die. A few more years passed, and McKenna Burton, infant daughter of Zach and Angie Burton, was added to the memory list. McKenna passed away a few hours after her birth, and the family was able to receive the same compassionate treatment from the hospital that the Brodericks did. Today, Elizabeth Stitt has just finished her second year of college at BYU and is preparing to serve an LDS mission. Katie Stitt is now a senior at Weber High.
