School for his Eagle Scout Project. With the help of his family and troop, Derek researched the project, raised the money, and ordered the benches. With the help of the school’s counselor, Mrs. Ramage, and the 2015-16 peer leaders, a video was made introducing the purpose of the buddy bench. Thanks to Derek, there are these awesome benches reminding us to reach out and include each other for many years to come.

They offer a wide variety of foods from sandwiches, salads, and burgers to full dinner entrees including chicken fried steak, chicken Alfredo, stuffed pasta and shrimp, and even pork chops! Hug-Hes is located at 360 East 2600 North—next to Lee’s Marketplace.
December Employee of the Month is Detective Rusty Olsen, of the North Ogden Police Department. He does an incredible job, and was instrumental in solving a rash of recent property crimes in our City. His hard work helped North Ogden to again be recognized as one of Utah’s safest cities--this time specifically for low burglaries.
Detective Olsen is a genuinely good person who quietly does a great job. He has been serving our City for 18 years. We appreciate all his dedication and hard work!
