LAYTON — City leaders set aside some time at a recent council meeting to honor a few special volunteers, including people who received the President’s Volunteer Service Award during the past year.

Volunteers from the city’s fire corps and from the police department were honored, along with members of Layton’s Neighborhood Network, which consists of 12 district coordinators and more than 80 area coordinators and 1,000 block captains.

KAYSVILLE — DeLaMare Candy specializes in making unique gifts for customers.

Inside the company’s home candy making plant, the DeLaMare family works alongside each other, piecing together taffy with logos, pictures or words in the center.

Rick and Julie DeLaMare said they will soon open a store in the Layton Hills Mall, where they will sell the unique pieces by the piece, ounce, pound or prepackaged. All of the candy is made with Rick’s special recipe, which he created through years of experience in candy making.

OGDEN — A 37 year-old man was unconscious and bleeding. His heart raced and his blood pressure dropped. Emergency Medical Technicians worked hard to stabilize him.

Then, the man stopped breathing.

Mike Storey and Tim Vega, of Roy fire and paramedics department, inserted a breathing tube and began pumping oxygen into the man’s lungs. After several chest compressions, the man’s eyes opened and he began moaning.

This trauma victim wasn’t real. Instead, it’s a wireless simulation mannequin called SimMan 3G.

I listen to a lot of crying around here.

I have three little kids home with me every day. I’m bound to hear just about every cry we’ve got at least once. I’ve been doing this gig long enough to know when I need to bolt to a kid’s side, when to give it 30 seconds, and when to quietly escape to the basement and hide.
