Suits for Success Clothing Drive |
|
|
|
Wednesday, 28 November 2012 |
The Clearfield Youth City Council is
sponsoring a “Suits for Success” clothing
drive, held now through December 21.
The drop off point for the clothing items
listed below is the Clearfield City building,
Third Floor, Executive Department, 55 S.
State Street.
Youth City Council members were
aware of similar dress drives for women,
and thought it would be great to take it
a step further and hold a drive for men’s
professional clothing.
“The goal of “Suits for Success” is to
assist those who can’t afford to purchase
a new business suit for the purpose of
obtaining employment,” said Youth City
Council member, and drive chairperson
Aubree Matheson. “Professional clothing
increases confidence and in most cases
is expected. With the community’s help,
and the financial stability of meaningful
employment the lives of these individuals
and their families can be transformed!”
The collected items will be donated
to the Family Connection Center in
Clearfield and/or St. Anne’s Homeless
Shelter in Ogden.
The group is requesting
donations of the following
new or gently used items:
• Dress pants/slacks
• Suit coats
• Long-sleeve dress shirts (solid color)
• Short-sleeve dress shirts (solid color)
• Dress shoes
• Dress belts
• Ties (simple designs are best)

Featured Business - On Q Music |
|
|
|
Wednesday, 28 November 2012 |
 Daniel Quintana, the owner of On Q Music never thought
that a crush he had in second grade would lead him to his
life’s work.
“She played the piano, so I took lessons, too, until I was
12. Then I played the trombone from seventh to tenth grade.
While in high school, I went to a rock concert, and two days
later bought my first guitar. When deciding what to major in in
college I realized I’d already been playing music for 16 years.
I had a passion and love for music, so I enrolled in the Music
Education program at Weber State University and graduated
with a B.M.E. in 2008.”
Quintana wanted to share his passion for music with others,
so he began teaching guitar and piano lessons 13 years ago.
He opened On Q Music about four years ago and has been at
his current location, the red and white building on State Street
across from Kent’s Market, for about 3 years. “We’re a school,
not a music store. I’ll make recommendations on what to buy,
but other than instrument rentals, a few guitars, music books,
and local artists’ CDs, we teach music here.”
With eight music teachers and over 90 students a week, On Q
Music offers piano, drum, guitar, vocal, clarinet, violin, viola,
bass and cello lessons. Quintana’s instructors are either currently
enrolled Weber State (WSU) music major students, or fellow
WSU music major graduates.
“I like to support the college. I get positive feedback from
the professors about On Q students who continue their music
education at WSU - about how much further along our students
are in knowledge and technique,” said Quintana.
According to Quintana, learning a musical instrument teaches
a student, among other things, discipline, categorizing, and math
skills. “I love to teach and I love when I have a breakthrough
with a student.”
Private lessons at On Q Music range from $52 to $70/month
based on the music teacher’s experience. Half-hour lessons are
typically spent one-third on reading music and theory, a third
on drills and technique, such as chords, scales and arpeggios,
and a third on a song that the student wants to learn.
“My teaching philosophy is that the student has to feel happy
with their progress on the instrument, and learn to play music they
enjoy. The parents should also feel happy with the investment
they’re making in their child’s lessons,” said Quintana.
On Q Music offers instrument rentals, including trumpets,
clarinets, flutes, violins, trombones, saxophones, guitars and
electric basses.
In addition to lessons, On Q Music holds Open Mic night at
their store every few months - open to anyone who wants to
share their musical talents. They also hold a student recital once/
year at the North Davis Library, Clearfield Branch.
On Q Music is a great resource if you’re looking for live music
for your next event.
In addition to selling CDs and t-shirts of
local artists at the store, Quintana himself is a member of three
musical groups featuring three music genres – one that performs
classical music at weddings and events, a cover band “Platinum
Platypus” and a heavy metal rock band “Outcome.”
For those wanting to give the gift of music, On Q Music
sells gift certificates – great for the holidays or birthdays. On
Q Music hours are Monday-Friday, 2:00pm-7:00pm (there is
some flexibility with lesson times, and during the summer classes
are offered mornings). For more information about lessons and
booking talent call (801) 309-1879.

Featured Manufacturer - North Davis Cabinet and Design |
|
|
|
Wednesday, 28 November 2012 |
 You might not think of a cabinetry business as a manufacturer
in the strict sense of the word. Yet upon entering the North Davis
Cabinet and Design cabinetry shop you know you are witnessing
true old-fashioned, hand-crafted workmanship at its best. From
careful hand sanding to hand-sprayed varnishes, to laser-cut
slabs of Italian and Brazilian granite, clients of North Davis
Cabinets and Design truly get a custom, quality product.
Like a lot of small businesses, North Davis Cabinet and
Design started in a garage. The Rasmussen brothers, Ray
and Elvin, began their business in 1968 in Roy, growing the
business over the years, eventually moving to their location
in Freeport West/Clearfield. North Davis Cabinet and Design
currently occupies five buildings, including a show room/design
center, two woodworking shops, a granite cutting facility, and
warehousing. The Rasmussen brothers’ sons, cousins Cory
and Wayne, now run the business their fathers started almost
45 years ago.
“Combined, North Davis Cabinets has over 100 years of
experience in the cabinetry business,” said Jesse Henderson,
General Manager of North Davis Cabinet and Design. “We
have 63 employees; one of our custom woodworkers has been
here for over 30 years. We have a lot of experience going into
our client’s projects.”
From new construction to remodels to commercial offices
to custom closet systems, North Davis Cabinet and Design is
equipped to handle all phases of a project.
“We are a one-stop shop. We have the resources to take
care of the whole project,” explained Henderson. “Because
we manufacture from scratch, doing it all in-house, this is a
benefit to the customer because this gives us control over lead
times. We don’t have to place an order with someone else to
get a door repaired, for instance, which would push out the
completion date of a project.”
About 80% of North Davis Cabinet and Design’s business
is new construction for contractors, and 20% are  remodels of
existing homes.
Mainly serving Davis and Weber counties, according to
Henderson, they’ve done a lot of remodels in the Clearfield area.
An outdated kitchen, an entertainment center for your living
room, the remodel of a bathroom or basement, a home-based
office or a better way to organize your closets - the folks at North
Davis Cabinet and Design can do it all, and then some.
North Davis Cabinet has two showrooms – the one in
Clearfield and a second in Ogden on 36th Street.
“When you visit one of our showrooms, a designer sits
down with you and reviews the scope of the project with
you,” Henderson said. “Do you have an existing set of plans,
or can we draw up plans for you? We show you what we can
do, based on what you desire, and your budget. We help you figure out what products you’ll need, as
well as design elements, such as wood,
finishes, colors, molding styles, etc. We
then present you with drawings and a
project estimate.”
“Our company mission is to provide
our clients with beautiful custom
cabinets, countertops, and flooring by using the best technology
and material, using professional designers, and talented
craftsmen, and offering this quality and service at an affordable
price,” continued Henderson, who has been with North Davis
Cabinet and Design for ten years. “We can help you create
your dream project for your home or business.”
North Davis Cabinet and Design’s Clearfield show room is
located just off of Antelope and 300 West, and they’re open
Monday through Thursday, 8am-5:30pm, and Fridays from
8am – 5pm; phone (801) 773-0374. For more information
about all of the different products and styles they offer visit
