Moving forward, Saunders Construction will continue building based on the same principles of honesty, integrity, forthrightness and dedication that have been its trademark for over 114 years.

Casey Hall, the new company president, has been with Saunders Construction for 23 years. He started as a laborer and through hard work and dedication became a superintendent and then a project manager and estimator. He has an extensive resume that includes construction of many new commercial buildings, several new chapels and remodels for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, state and government projects, the Ogden and Weber School Districts, and other prominent businesses along the Wasatch Front. Since 2010, Saunders Construction has been focusing on medical remodels and tenant improvements. These specialty projects include a cardiology office, sleep labs, optometry and plastic surgery clinics, imaging facilities and operating rooms.

Every aspect of construction, from demolition to roofing, can be completed by our own experienced personnel or through the relationships we have with reputable subcontractors in all trades that we know and trust. Our superintendents, Steve Thompson, John Hall, Will Harkness, Ethan Moser, Matt Squires and Trevor Trotta are all hardworking and dedicated and have the knowledge and ability to bring each job to successful completion.

Although there are many larger construction firms in the state, we believe there are none with a better reputation or legacy than that of Saunders Construction.

NBA All-Stars to Visit YMCA Programs

Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball Players make special plans to visit children in Afterschool and Preschool Programs.


On Friday, February 17, from 3-4 PM, Afterschool and Preschoolers at the Taylorsville YMCA Community Family Center are in for an incredibly special afternoon. The Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball Players are hosting an event at the YMCA, especially for these children, where they will interact with players and fathers. The media team from the NBA will accompany this group, where a worldwide spotlight will highlight their work with the YMCA of Northern Utah.

At the Y, many of our families come from low-income backgrounds and receive scholarships to attend YMCA programs. For them, interacting with NBA players and those connected to them will be the opportunity of a lifetime. The Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball Players will spend time with participants and their parents, encouraging them to always reach for their dreams and speaking to parents about supporting their children’s goals. They’ll join in with Afterschool activities where they can have meaningful interactions with participants in the program.

During the event, YMCA preschoolers have prepared a few songs to show off the skills they have learned in the classroom while our Leaders-in-Training Group (4th-8th graders) have prepared a skit to teach about our 4 core values of Caring, Honesty, Respect, & Responsibility. Four incredible student leaders from the Afterschool Program will receive personalized signed jerseys from All-Star players, recognizing them for their outstanding character as young people. Additionally, the Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball Players are presenting the YMCA with a donation for the Y Afterschool Program and matching funds from members of the group.

The spokesperson for this event, Chris Jones, said, “We are very excited to partner with the YMCA of Northern Utah. This incredible group of fathers and men see the value in programs like the Y and are happy to support them in any way possible. Our group has always been philanthropic at heart, so we look forward to sharing that with the world, especially with the YMCA of Northern Utah.”

With the support from the NBA, Black Chamber of Commerce, YMCA Board of Directors, and the Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball Players, we are hopeful this event to draw much-needed community support and, more importantly, provide an unbelievable experience for children that deserve it. We truly believe Utah needs to see this kind of good happening in its own backyard.

For additional information about how the YMCA was chosen for this opportunity, contact Chris Jones from the Fathers and Men of Professional Basketball at (646) 420-8511. For information about the YMCA of Northern Utah, please contact Mandy Lail at (385) 287-8009.

Full Lineup Announced for 15th Ogden Music Festival

Ogden Friends of Acoustic Music kicks off summer, bringing the best Americana music to Northern Utah at the homegrown music festival, June 2-4, at Weber County’s historic Fort Buenaventura.



OGDEN, UT, February 1 – Ogden friends of Acoustic Music (OFOAM) is excited to announce its full lineup for the 15th annual Ogden Music Festival, June 2-4, at Weber County’s beautiful Fort Buenaventura in Ogden. The three-day festival is family-friendly with camping on site, a jam camp, workshops, kids activities, and more. This year boasts the most diverse lineup of new and established artists yet, embracing the best of Americana: bluegrass, country, gospel, folk, Tex-Mex conjunto, and a lot of soul will be heard from the OFOAM stage under the cottonwood trees this year.

“This year is special,” says festival co-director Reba Nissen. “If you look at our talent committee’s travels over the past year, we’ve been collecting artists at venues and festivals in Utah, Idaho and Arizona. Each artist produced their own goosebump moments in their live performances.”

This year’s lineup is Dan Tyminski Band, Thee Sacred Souls, Danielle Ponder, John Craigie, Della Mae, Miko Marks, Los Texmaniacs, Pixie & the Partygrass Boys, Chatham Rabbits, National Park Radio, Kate Macleod, The West Road, and Pompe ‘N Honey.

Applications are now open for Tweeners, local artists that play between the main acts.

Founded by Michelle Tanner in 2008, OFOAM has enjoyed great success as a locally-based, volunteer-run nonprofit organization.

“We are a strong women-run organization,” says Tanner. “We haven’t had to change much about our festival in the fifteen years of operation because we have a good structural base, and we keep bringing great music!”

Tanner says they have to work hard for their funding, but sponsors and grantors keep coming back “because of all we do for our community to get instruments into the hands of youth.”

OFOAM provides the Ogden Music Festival Instrument Petting Zoo, showcases youth on its stages, and offers the year round WILL & WAY (Weber Instrument Lending Library for Weber Acoustic Youth) with free instrument loaning and free music lessons. There is also a Kid Zone and kids’ parade at the festival.

Kids ages 16 and under get free admission to Ogden Music Festival.

Festival-goers from all over Utah and out-of-state come for the good music and community spirit.

Nissen reflects on the festival community they’ve cultivated through the years: “When I look at our poster this year, the artist, Wendy Buehler, really captures that for me. ‘Imagine all the people’ who put their love into this festival every year, from the committee and team leads, to all the volunteers, the vendors, and the artists. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Camping on site is available throughout the weekend, along with workshops, late-night campground jams, art vendors, morning yoga, and dining from some of the best local food and beverage vendors.

Tickets are available online at ofoam.org/ogden-music-festival. Volunteers get a 3-day pass for serving two 3-hour shifts during the festival weekend. Get all the festival details at OFOAM.org.

Through these performances, we attract visitors from outside the region and help develop Weber County and Ogden as a destination for first-class arts events and recreation.

Weber State University Uses 3D Printing for Aerospace Support, Research



OGDEN, Utah, January 26 – Weber State University is using 3D printing to advance its research on composite materials that support northern Utah’s aerospace and defense ecosystem.

The university’s Miller Advanced Research and Solutions Center recently upgraded and installed the Impossible Objects Composite-Based Additive Manufacturing system, or CBAM-2. The machine prints composite materials that can then be used to design parts for a range of high-tech applications.

Located near Hill Air Force Base, Utah, the MARS Centers brings together Weber State students and faculty with industry experts who can apply innovative solutions to real-world problems, especially in the realm of national defense.

“Composite materials are of high interest to the military, and the ability to 3D-print those parts on demand with CBAM gives us an advantage to participate in more projects and recruit the best talent,” said David Ferro, dean of WSU’s College of Engineering, Applied Science & Technology.

Ferro said Weber State has a long history with Impossible Objects and believes the new system – a leap in technology from the center’s previous CBAM printer – will be a valuable tool in aerospace research among academia, defense and commercial partners.

“We’ve used this technology to print parts for legacy aircraft, aging jets that need replacement parts or tools that aren’t in production anymore,” said Devin Young, grant writing and research specialist at WSU, who works at the MARS Center. “CBAM makes parts that are lighter and stronger than some of the other methods out there, and it does it faster.”

Young said a recent example of 3D-printed parts via Impossible Objects includes a strap that keeps first-aid kits secure inside aircraft currently flown by the U.S. Air Force.

“We’ve found a range of uses for this technology, from large aerospace companies to small local businesses,” Young said.

Steve Hoover, Impossible Objects CEO, said the CBAM system’s Carbon Fiber PEEK 3D-printed material achieves excellent mechanical properties and is a cutting-edge alternative for aluminum prototyping, tooling, spares and repairs.

“The MARS Center is at the forefront of aerospace and defense research,” Hoover said. “We’re proud that they’ve selected CBAM technology, and have already engaged in several projects that have exciting potential for the Department of Defense, Department of Energy and other industrial partners.”

The MARS Center opened in August 2022 thanks to a $3.5 million donation from the Larry H. & Gail Miller Family Foundation. The CBAM 3D Printer from Impossible Objects is among the first advanced manufacturing technologies to be installed and used the new facility.

Weber State University is renowned for excellent teaching, accessible educational opportunities and its enduring presence in northern Utah. Weber State serves more than 29,000 students form all walks of life and offers 225+ degree programs, including 20 graduate degrees. Visit weber.edu/wsutoday for more.

Impossible Objects is a 3D printer and materials company founded with the belief that materials science inventions would enable 3D printing to revolutionize the world in the same ways computers and the internet have revolutionized the way we live, work and play. Impossible Object’s CBAM technology combines the production rate of conventional manufacturing with the design flexibility of 3D printing to create high-performance materials at break-neck speeds. These advanced composite materials are lightweight, strong and ideal for a range of industrial applications. By removing the barriers, we’ve unlocked new opportunities to reshape and rethink manufacturing. Learn more at https://www.impossible-objects.com/

Ogden School District to Provide No Cost Meals to All Students For the Remainder of the 2022-2023 School Year

OGDEN, Utah – Nov. 2, 2022 – The Ogden School District Child Nutrition Department is pleased to announce that effective November 2, 2022 through the remainder of the school year, all breakfasts and lunches served to all of our students will be free of charge. The Child Nutrition Department has elected to use available State Reimbursement funding to cover the costs of the meals for the remainder of the school year for students who do not financially qualify for free school meals. We hope this decision will benefit families by easing the financial burden of paying for school meals.

Please note this is for the 2022-23 school year only. Parents will need to plan on submitting a free & reduced meals application or pay for school meals for the 2023-2024 school year. The Ogden School District Child Nutrition Department will re-evaluate the opportunity to offer meals at no cost to all students in the future, based on available funding.

This news builds upon the announcement made on August 19, 2022 that eight of the 18 schools in Ogden School District had qualified for inclusion in the USDA’s Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) program, which provides funding for school meals in school communities with high rates of poverty.

Bonneville Elementary, Heritage Elementary, Hillcrest Elementary, James Madison Elementary, Lincoln Elementary, Odyssey Elementary, Mound Fort Jr. High and George Washington High School are the schools that had already qualified for the federal CEP funding during the 2022-2023 school year. Now, Ogden School District has ensured that students at all other District schools will receive no cost meals for the remainder of the school year.

For more information, contact Jer Bates, Director of Communications or visit www.ogdensd.org.
