|
|
|
Wednesday, 10 October 2012 |
Two weekends have been set aside this season for Clearfield City’s annual Fall Cleanup. Clearfield citizens can drop off acceptable items at the lot south of the Public Works Shops located at 497 S. Main. The lot will be open between the hours of 9am to 4pm on the dates noted above (Thursday through Saturday). Residents must be able to unload their own items; city employees will only be on site to monitor activities.
Those taking advantage of this service must present a valid picture I.D. showing proof of Clearfield residency, such as a driver’s license or utility bill.
The city will not be able to accept material that cannot be deposited in the land fill, including:
• tires
• hazardous waste such as used oil, paint, solvents and other chemicals
• electronics such as televisions, microwaves, computers, etc.
• any items with Freon
The city will also not accept on the above dates:
• Household garbage
• Commercial garbage
The city can accept car batteries; however, they must be separated so they can be placed on a pallet. A dumpster will be on site during the Fall Clean-up for disposal of metals. Residents will need to bring the items to the Public Works Shop and unload them into the dumpster. Please separate your green waste from the rest of your delivered waste. Green waste consists of biodegradable materials such as lawn trimmings, leaves, tree branches and limbs not to exceed four feet in length. City employees will not accept material that does not meet these requirements and dumping in containers after hours may be subject to ticketing. You can make arrangements with the city for at-home metal pick-up, as our schedule permits, by calling (801) 525-4402.

Featured Business Rhythm Works Dance Studio |

Wednesday, 10 October 2012 |
 435 W. 1700 S.
According to Diane Allred, owner of Rhythm Works Dance Studio, there’s much more to dance classes than just teaching people how to move a certain way.
“At Rhythm Works we try to instill a love of dance with our students,” says Allred. “We get the kids up and moving – it’s about living a healthy lifestyle, building self-esteem, giving them a love of moving and rhythm. Learning rhythm gives children an advantage in tumbling and pretty much any sport. Coordination assists you in most any athletic thing you do.”
And, Rhythm Works students aren’t just students, according to Allred. “When you join our dance studio you become part of our family. We care about each and every one of our students, and we want their experience to be positive.”
Allred began teaching dance 21 years ago in the basement of her Syracuse home. Business grew and after a few years she was able to move out of the basement and into a studio, also in Syracuse. In 2000, Rhythm Works moved to their current location in Clearfield. They’ve since expanded from one studio to two, and three years ago added a dancewear store.
Growing up in Syracuse, Allred began dancing at age four. A Clearfield High School alumnus, Allred was a cheerleader and a member of the CHS Dance Company. Upon graduating in ’82, Allred won a dance scholarship to Utah State University and earned her degree in Dance Education, with a minor in Health. In addition to teaching, she continues to support the CHS Dance Company, choreographing some of the performances at the schools’ semi-annual Dance Company productions.
Rhythm Works Dance Studio offers studio classes (noncompetitive), with recitals twice/ year, as well as competitive/ performing dance team classes. Their  competitive teams range in age from 4 – 18 years. Competing all over Utah, Rhythm Works Cheer and Dance teams have won numerous awards including Best Choreography, Best Technique, Best of Show, Best Showmanship, and more. Rhythm Works studio classes are for ages 18 months and up, and include ballet, jazz, hip hop, cheer, and lyrical. The studio recently added three new classes for adults including “Ballet Blast” (combining exercise and ballet), Mommy and Me (for moms with children 18 months and up), and Zumba. Check out their website www. rhythmworks.com for a schedule of classes and registration information.
The studio enforces modesty standards to ensure that dress and dance movements are ageappropriate.
Allred’s studio employs five full-time and eight part-time teachers. “I trained most of my teachers,” said Allred. “The other’s loved what I did with their daughters and came on board.”
Allred’s assistant director, Chera Mann, is also a Clearfield High graduate and has been dancing with Rhythm Works Dance Studio since she was four. Allred’s daughter, Tavia, who attends CHS and is a Falconette, also assists her mom with the studio.
Just like a family, Allred has taken her students and their families on field trips. This past May, Rhythm Works dancers traveled to New York City, and performed at the Statue of Liberty monument, and in 2005 and 2008 they traveled to Anaheim, California, performing at Disneyland.
“I just love to see kids dance and I hope we can make a difference in their lives,” said Allred.
Rhythm Works Dance Studio is located on Antelope (1700 South), across the street from “Dallas Green.” Their office hours are Monday-Thursday, 4-8pm.

Featured Clearfield Manufacturer Don Julio Foods |

Wednesday, 10 October 2012 |
Freeport Center, Building Z-13
 Daily, Don Julio Foods produces over 50,000 freshly made tortillas at their plant located in Clearfield’s Freeport Center. With 50 employees running two to three shifts/day, their Clearfield manufacturing plant turns flour into dough, rolls it, presses it, bakes and cools it, stacks it and then wraps the finished product. Truckloads of fresh tortillas are then delivered daily to food stores located in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, New Mexico, Arizona and Texas.
Americans love tortillas – and Don Julio tortillas are no exception! You probably didn’t know that tortillas are one of the fastest growing segments of the bread industry, beating out all other ethnic and specialty bread sales, including bagels, croissants, muffins and pita bread!* Don Julio offers different varieties of tortillas including flour (southwest style and traditional), white and yellow corn tortillas, and one of their newest products, raw tortillas that can be heated on a skillet and eaten fresh.
Besides locating one of their production facilities in Clearfield in 2002, Don Julio Foods has deeper roots in this area – the company was started in 1994 by Clearfield High School alumnus Craig Fisher (class of 1968). Fisher had been working in the food industry for over 20 years, and since serving a church mission in New Mexico, had a great love of spicy food and a dream of someday having his own food manufacturing company. When that dream became possible, he wanted to honor his supportive spouse, and named the company after a derivative of his wife’s name Julia.
Fisher’s son Nate, a graduate of Weber State University, took over as CEO in 2006 when Fisher was asked to take on additional ecclesiastical responsibilities. Nate oversees the day-to-day operations of Don Julio and its other brands as they explore ways to branch out into new markets.
Speaking of other brands, in addition to the Don Julio brand, under which they sell tortillas, tortilla chips and salsa, they also sell potato chips and snacks under the 70-year old Clover Club label, which Don Julio Food purchased in 2005.
Clover Club was a company started in 1938 by Hod and Clover Sanders in Kaysville, Utah. In fact, Nate’s grandfather was one of the first salesmen for Clover Club. Over the years, Clover Club was bought and sold by several companies, which hurt the brand. However, things changed when the Fisher family bought Clover Club. Through revitalization, the brand has seen continual growth over the past seven years.
Don Julio’s tortilla chips are produced in West Bountiful and the Clover Club potato chips are produced in Hermiston, Oregon. Their salsas and dips are made in Trinidad, Colorado.
*According to the Tortilla Industry Association, for which Nate Fisher, CEO of Don Julio Foods, serves as the President-elect.
