How Do I Select the Right Family Physician? 

Finding just the right primary care fit for you and your family is a very 

important decision. 

We find that people who live in your immediate area and shop at 

the same stores and attend the nearby church usually have the same 

intuition as yours when it comes to the selection of a physician-owned 

primary care clinic. There are several other ways to assess medical 

practices and clinics. You could conduct the research to find out where 

a physician received their education and training. Or, you could call 

the local physician referral line at the nearby hospital and look up each 

name you are given on insurance company websites. 

Remember that social media is not the best place to go since you would 

only get one side of the discussion in that privacy laws prohibit an open 

dialogue of medical issues in the public eye. 

Social media is not the best place to go since you would only get one

Social media is not the best place to go since you would only get one 

side of the discussion in that privacy laws prohibit open discussion of 

medical issues in the public eye. 

Along with reputation you should consider the independence of the 

clinic and if the physician’s decisions are influenced by outside or 

corporate decision makers. 

Here are some good questions to match-up similar interests and to 

discover how your concerns will be addressed: 

• Is her clinic owned by the physicians, or do they affiliate with a 

particular system or network? 

• What are the common illnesses and accidents he treats? 

• How long does he plan to stay in the community? 

• How often does the doctor complete additional education or 

training? 

• What is the training and experience of the medical assistant? 

• What hours is the clinic available to you? 

• What about after-hours access to an ‘on-call’ provider? 

• How quickly will she/he get back to you when you leave a 

message? 

Davis Family Physicians is a good example of meeting the medical 

needs of your friends and family for over 60 years. We are a physician 

owned clinic seeing our fourth generation of patients right here 

in Davis County, Utah. 

We started seeing patients in 1950 in a small house nearby that was 

known for years as the Clearfield Clinic. Since then we have had 

several other addresses including our latest at 3225 West Gordon 

Ave.; right where the borders of Layton, Syracuse and Clearfield 

come together. We built our new building in 2005 and filled it with 

up-to-date medical diagnostic equipment and personnel. 

Chances are … whatever you have, we’ve seen it before and we 

know how to help you manage it.

Great Salt Lake 

Bird Festival 

May 18, 2013 

Now is the time to help birds make it through these tough winter 

conditions. Deep snow and prolonged freezing temperatures 

make finding food a survival challenge. 

Bird Feeding: It’s Fun to do and Helps Wildlife Too 

Finding food in the winter can be a tough prospect for Utah’s wild birds. 

During the late summer and fall, most birds leave Utah for areas that are 

warmer. Those that stay find a food supply that snow, long nights, below 

zero temperatures, storms and frost-forming inversion layers have severely 

reduced. Only birds capable of finding seeds, berries, dormant insects and 

other limited food sources can survive Utah’s tough winters. 

During the cold months of winter, birds need to eat regularly to maintain 

their body heat. And that’s where you can help. Feeding stations can play a 

pivotal role in helping wild birds survive. 

Bird feeding can also bring a host of small, colorful, fascinating characters 

right into your backyard. Sound like fun? It is. But once you get started, 

you have to stay committed to providing food to your birds every day. 

You have to stayed committed 

Most birds develop feeding patterns, moving from food source to food source 

along a regular daily route. The birds that visit your yard will start to rely on 

your feeding stations, especially during winter storms, cold snaps and other 

critical times. If you don’t feed the birds, the birds may not have time to find 

other sources to last them through the emergency. 

If you start feeding birds, it’s very important that you feed them every day 

through the winter and well into the spring. 

Feeding stations 

Different types of food attract different types of birds. Wild birds have the 

easiest time finding food when the food is placed in an area where the birds 

would naturally look for it. For example, a spotted towhee, which feeds on 

the ground, is more likely to find food if you leave the food on the ground. 

A goldfinch, on the other hand, will be looking for food higher up in a tree. 

Four basic feeding locations will accommodate most of the birds that eat 

Quail, juncos and most sparrows and towhees are ground-level feeders. 

Because they usually search for food in tree branches, chickadees, finches, 

grosbeaks, pine siskin’s and jays are quick to find food in tabletop and hanging 

feeders. Nuthatches, creepers and woodpeckers prefer tree trunk stations. 

Types of food 

Most winter birds will eat sunflower seeds. They especially like the little, 

black oil sunflower seed. White and red proso millet, canary seed and thistle 

or Nyjer seeds are good for attracting smaller birds such as finches, sparrows, 

chickadees and pine siskin’s. 

Suet and fruit will also attract birds. Suet, which is another name for fat, is a 

rich source of energy that some birds can use. Simply stuffing the suet into 

cracks in the bark of a tree can turn the tree into a good suet feeder. 

Feeder placement 

As you set up your feeding station, keep two things in mind—variety and 

safety. Providing a variety of foods and feeders, placed at different heights, 

will attract a greater variety of birds. 

Also, remember to place your feeders where you can easily see them. A 

good place is near a window, a balcony or another place where you can see 

the birds without disturbing them. Placing a feeder close to a window will 

actually cut down on birds flying into the window because, after leaving the 

feeder, the birds won’t have time to build up much speed. 

Everyone wins 

Bird feeding can supply hours of entertainment and enjoyment to people of 

all ages. It can also help supplement resources the birds need in an era when 

natural habitats are dwindling.

Discovering a Secret Haven 

Nearly 21 years ago, by chance I turned onto a secret road that changed my 

life forever. There nestled into the crook of the mountain was a massive, 

old, charmingly inviting rock building. I was captivated. I pulled up to the 

building to find a little old and man walking along the front porch. I asked 

him who owned the building, he reqlied that he and his wife owned the 

property. Without hesitation I asked if I could buy the building. His kind 

reply was simple, “I have been waiting for you.” I bought the Rock Loft 

from Dale and Margaret Jost, two of the kindest people I have ever met, and 

the first of many great relationships to come from being in Fruit Heights. I 

was not in the market to buy a building nor had I intented to start a business, 

but fate and the indescribable spirit of the building had other plans for me. 

Mountain Road was the original highway 89, when times were slower and 

life simpler. The 1940 Historical Rock building was originally a thriving 

cherry processing plant that supplied the Intermountain West with sweet 

summer cherries. Many of the residents of Fruits Heights and the surrounding 

communities have fond memories of the Rock Loft. The original charm 

and history are evident in the building. 

There are four business’ within the Rock Loft. The Bun Basket, a delicious 

bakery and great place to eat lunch, the Canyon Gallery, great original art, 

prints and framing, McCloud Photography, professional photography with 

a personal touch. Then there is SECRET HAVEN and that is just what it is, 

a ‘HAVEN’ hidden in the foothills of the maountain. Secret Haven is much 

more than a place to shop. Friends gather here, traditions are celebrated, 

creativity is in abundance giving customers an opportunity to transform a 

house into the precious thing we call home. 

The employees of Secret Haven are invaluable and a cherished part of the 

spirit of Secret Haven. They faithfully serve the customers and bring a 

cheerfulness that foster an atmospher of warmth. Their talent in design is 

unmatched. The crew of Secret Haven realize the importance of community. 

We have served on many levels, designing and creating a playhouse for 

Make-A-Wish, serving the refugees, sub for Santa and collecting food for 

the food bank. There is a special feeling within the walls of Secret Haven.

Did you know...? 

• OLD SALTAIR (Saltair I, 1893-1925), 

built under the direction of the LDS 

Church and intended as a wholesome 

alternative to the rowdier 

resorts springing up along the Great 

Salt Lake shoreline, became known 

as the “CONEY ISLAND OF THE 

WEST”. Architect Richard Kletting’s 

designs were intended to 

dazzle visitors and transport 

them to a world of 

“escape and pleasure”. 

The multilevel pavilion was 

Moorish-Victorian in ap- 

pearance, with its crescent “arms” 

lined with bathhouses extended 

from each side. Saltair was built 

over the water on a platform supported 

by 2500 pine pilings, nearly 

a mile offshore and accessed via 

railroad trestle. The resort boasted 

various rides, shows, and dining 

options. For the roller coaster 

enthusiast, the main attraction was 

the Giant Racer, a massive roller 

coaster that sent riders screaming 

through drops and turns over the 

water. Orville and Wilbur Wright 

demonstrated their “heavier than 

air machine” at Saltair, making 

short, low flights above the pavilion. 

Fire destroyed the Saltair I 

pavilion in 1925. Of note, Richard 

Kletting would later design the 

State Capitol. Saltair II (1926-1970) 

was built larger and more colorful, 

with emphasis more on attractions 

and entertainment, including “Big 

Bands” performing in its massive 

ballroom. Saltair III (1982-present) 

was built conveniently at I-80 exit 

104. Knowledge of the original site 

and its legacy faded from our collective 

memory. For the explorer, 

visible remnants still lie along the 

overgrown trestle that leads to the 

pavilion site. Pilings marking the 

Giant Racer’s route also remain 

along with ceramic fragments from 

the “old Ship Café”. Remember the 

1967 Beach Boy’s record album art? 

Photos show the band hanging out 

at a decaying Saltair II, balancing 

atop a tall collection of pilings that 

once served as a dock. With respect 

to the Great Salt Lake and Saltair, 

here two mindsets have always 

coexisted at odds with each other: 

the easy-going beach groove that 

Saltair attempted to harness, and

years at the dealer they decided they wanted to go and 

start their own business. They have been in business just 

over a year and are growing quickly. 

Their willingness to do whaterver it takes to make their 

customers happy is one of the key reasons they have been 

so successful their first year. They offer a pickup service 

within 5 miles and will take the time to explain the issues.

painless process.

MAID-RITE 

Way back in 1926, in a faraway place called Muscatine, Iowa, 

Fred Angell, a local butcher, had some spare time one day. 

Without the internet and ESPN and Facebook, Fred used his 

spare time to create a new sandwich that would quickly 

become a local favorite and later a favorite across the 

midwestern states. Fred worked to get the right combination of 

a special cut and grind of meat and a selected blend of spices. 

When a deliveryman tasted Fred’s new creation, he said, “This 

sandwich is made right.” 

With that, the Maid-Rite loose-meat sandwich was born. Fred 

was quite a sandwich maker but not much of a speller. 

Our select line of seasoned loose meat sandwiches are made 

from 100% USDA Midwestern fresh ground beef and served 

on a steamed white or wheat bun, with your choice of ketchup, 

mustard, onion and pickles. 

Did you know that the “loose meat” hamburgs featured at Maid-Rite 

originated in Muscatine, Iowa way back in 1926...?? (YES...hamburgs, not 

hamburgers”) 

Did you know that in addition to the loose meat sandwiches they are famous 

for, that Maid-Rite also smokes all their chicken, turkey and pork fresh and 

in-house for their other sandwiches, wraps and salads...?? 

Did you know that the Layton Maid-Rite Diner features delicious shakes 

and malts and Italian sodas...??? 

The first Maid-Rite in Utah opened on March 21, 2012, and 

Scott and Celina proudly share their Midwest-style sandwiches, 

soups, wraps, salads, shakes and malts with the great folks 

along the Wasatch Front. Scott grew up in the Midwest eating 

Maid-Rite sandwiches, and his father, William, worked at a 

Maid-Rite Diner in Tama, Iowa, before his army days in the 

second World War. Scott and Celina, Layton residents, invite all 

Utahns to discover the “Maid-Rite” sandwich and learn what 

all Midwesterners know...that Maid-Rites are delicious!!! 

Did you know that Maid-Rite Diners have existed since 1926 and are the 

second oldest restaurant franchise in the United States....?? 

Did you know that the Layton Utah Maid-Rite Diner is the only one in 

Utah and the furthest west Maid-Rite in the franchise...?? 

Did you know that Maid-Rite Diners are found in 12 states and that there 

are over 80 stores...??
