We’re happy to offer Kid’s Art for Home Schoolers on Tuesday Mornings at the Studio we share with Lavender Hill. Our second 5-week session is just starting. We plan to continue with another session in May. Keep your eye on our website for start dates! Kids’ Art Club at Valley Elementary On Friday after school, 25 3rd - 6th graders at Valley Elementary gather at school for an art class with Jenny Harris. They learn about an artist and then create their own work in a similar mode. We will be offering other classes for K - 2nd graders in the fall, and since this offering to 3rd thru 6th graders is so popular, we’ll have another class for those grades in the fall again. Thank you to Valley Elementary for hosting us so we can facilitate the creativity of our Ogden Valley Kids!

CREATE! 20 Years Ago: Continued Road Restrictions over Spillway Planned By Shanna Francis Bureau of Reclamation Area Manager Bruce Barrett met with area officials on March 21 to give an update on the Pineview Dam stabilization project. Valley residents and visitors can expect additional permanent road closures across the spillway beginning as early as July of 2003 and lasting through November of the same year. The Bureau is currently working with county officials to coordinate an exact date to minimize the impact of simultaneous road closures on the North Ogden Divide when improvements to the mountain road begin. In addition to stabilization efforts upstream of the dam, which necessitate the long-term road closure over the spillway, the Bureau will also be shoring up the dam below the spillway along the edge of the highway in the Wheeler Creek area. The roadway through the top of the canyon will remain open, but lane widths will be minimized. Watch for more information on the construction project in The Ogden Valley News. Goddard School of Business & Economics at WSU Celebrates Extension of Accreditation Through AACSB International The John B. Goddard School of Business & Economics at Weber State University is delighted to announce that extension of accreditation by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business has been granted, as of April 4, 2023, for both the business and accounting programs offered by the GSBE. The GSBE has recently completed the reaccreditation process, which involves an extensive evaluation of the school’s strategic plan, program innovations, learner successes and faculty engagement in scholarship, as well as interactions with the professional community. Accredited schools are reviewed under the Continuous Improvement Review CIR process every five years. The GSBE was last reviewed in 2018. Worldwide, less than 6% of business schools are AACSB accredited. AACSB reaccreditation places the GSBE among the best business schools in the world. Reaccreditation by this long-standing association indicates that the GSBE continues to meet rigorous standards for educational quality. From GSBE Interim Dean Doris GeideStevenson, “We are grateful for our association with the AACSB and delighted to continue offering our excellent graduate and undergraduate degrees and certificates to our students.” WSU Professor Bolsters Life-saving Efforts in Communitysurvival,” Via Robertson PulsePoint App said. When approached to be involved in an initiative to improve the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survival rates in Weber and Morgan counties, a WSU professor answered the call. Bill Robertson, associate professor of emergency healthcare, teamed up with Deputy Chief Michael Slater of the Ogden City Fire Department to incorporate the life-saving efforts of the mobile app, PulsePoint, into the local community. “Chief Slater reached out to me in hopes that Weber State’s Department of Emergency Healthcare could collaborate and assist in the efforts,” Robertson said. “Since our department provides all of the paramedic training for the Ogden City Fire Department, it was just a natural partnership.” PulsePoint works by routing 911 calls that go through dispatch and notifying responders who are within one-fourth of a mile of the victim’s location and the nearest automated external defibrillator. “The sooner CPR is started, even by a bystander, the better the victim’s chance of Robertson helped secure funding for PulsePoint access and training efforts for the public and first responders. Others from the Dr. Ezekiel R. Dumke College of Health Professions realized the importance of the program and chipped in. “The PulsePoint program is free to download for the public, but it does have a fee for it to be implemented within the participating county’s dispatch system,” Robertson said. The Dean’s Office of Health Professions made a financial contribution alongside public and private contributors that allowed for PulsePoint to be connected to Weber and Morgan counties’ dispatch systems for the next two years, Robertson said. Through Robertson’s work and dedication, Weber State is even more connected to the larger initiative to improve the community’s health—and possibly save lives. “Going forward, the Department of Emergency Healthcare will play a bigger role in providing the necessary training to active emergency medical services providers in the area, as well as hosting community CPR training,” Robertson said. “This has been Chief Slater’s project from the beginning. We’re just helping out wherever we can.” Jeff Foxworthy’s “My Wintersong” Tanesia Capps and her son Maxtin made spring flowers in the snow in Patio Springs. -Flatwork -Decorative Concrete -Concrete Prep If someone in a Home Depot store o昀昀ers you assistance and they don’t work there, you live in Utah.
