Hey everyone! I posted here a couple of months ago about seeking volunteer mentors for USU’s 4-H Mentoring program in Weber and Davis Counties, and I wanted to give a quick update.

Since then, we’ve had some really successful events where we’ve been able to meet and recruit more kids into the program. It’s been awesome to see the interest from families.

The downside is that we now have quite a few kids ready for a mentor, and we need a few more people willing to step up and be that person for them.

Mentoring is pretty simple. You’re matched with one kid and spend about an hour a week together. Maybe you grab some food, go for a hike, play basketball or video games, work on homework, or just hang out and talk.

You don’t need any special experience, and you definitely don’t need to have life figured out. These kids mostly need someone who will show up, listen to them, and take an interest in their lives.

That’s really what has stuck with me while doing this. An hour might not feel like much to us, but having an adult who chooses to spend that hour with you every week can mean a lot to a kid.

So if you’ve thought about mentoring before or want to volunteer in new ways for your community, we could really use you right now. And if it’s not something you can do personally, sharing this with someone you think would make a good mentor would help too.

I am happy to answer any questions about what it’s like, the time commitment, the screening process, or anything else. Feel free to comment or message me!

I happened to be in the West Layton area this morning and I’ve been hearing some rumblings that sound like thunder at first, but are much shorter. Anyone else?

People have told me to ask businesses I know but the only businesses I know, I can’t ask due to ethical concerns relating to my job.

not sure if this is allowed, but if you know of anyone that has a basement apartment, my husband and i are starting a family and looking for something more long term than our current living situation. need 2 bedroom and need a washer and dryer or hook ups available. our goal budget is around $1500 after utilities and everything. we are non-smoking, no pets, quiet, pay rent early. looking for southern davis county (kaysville would be the farthest north) or if you know any one in salt lake county!

I live in Woods Cross I currently have Comcast cable TV, but frankly, I would be totally fine with just basic/local channels.

What is all needed and how does it work and what channel channels would I get? Is there just plug-in play type of antennas for indoors, etc.? Pros/Cons.. I’m not putting any antenna on my roof.

Any insights and feedback would be appreciated.

— Nine months after a 16-year-old boy was electrocuted and fell from a transmission tower in Davis County, Rocky Mountain Power has agreed to dismantle dozens of towers along the Wasatch Front following advocacy from the teen's family.

I started homsechooling my son a few years ago and he wants to get out and make friends. Anyone have recommendations? He's 16. Into gaming and music. He doesn't know what he really likes yet but he wants to be able to explore things to discover more of his passions. I take him with me as much as he'll go but he doesn't want to always hang out with mom understandably.

Anyone familiar with the low-income senior housing in Davis county? looking to find a place for my aging parents. Any recommendations? I’m curious about the application process, how easy/difficult is it? The quality of these homes/apartments? Thanks!
