FRUIT HEIGHTS -- Life changed dramatically for Shelley Nettesheim when her husband died in a car accident and she became a widow at 24.

LAYTON -- The skies were mostly overcast, but the threat of a shower didn't deter the crowds Monday at the annual Taste of the Town North event at Layton Commons Park.

In May I had the privilege of attending the Refresh Leadership Simulcast, sponsored nationally by Express Employment Professionals. Featured presenters were Ken Blanchard, globally recognized leadership consultant, football legend Peyton Manning, and Walter Bond, former Utah Jazz basketball player. What an interesting mix of backgrounds and approaches!

CENTERVILLE -- Most of the $4.2 million generated yearly in Davis County tourism tax revenues has been committed already to one project or another.

But there is about $100,000 available beginning this calendar year, excluding the $2 million set aside in reserves, that the Davis County Tourism Advisory Board can begin to invest in tourism-promoting projects, Davis County Clerk/Auditor Steve Rawlings said.

Rawlings shared that news Thursday with the board at its monthly luncheon meeting. This month's meeting was held at the CenterPoint Legacy Theatre in Centerville.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Three Top of Utah chambers of commerce have joined to form a government affairs partnership to promote issues important to the three counties.

The announcement was made Friday morning in the Capitol by members of the chambers and local lawmakers.

Chris Dallin, chairman of the Ogden-Weber Chamber of Commerce, said even though the three chambers -- Ogden-Weber, Davis and Brigham City -- are joining forces for legislative priorities, they will still be three separate chambers of commerce.
