Ammon Mayor Sean Coletti presented community service awards to seven individuals Thursday evening at Ammon City Hall. “Every act of service that you do makes a difference,” Coletti said before handing out awards. “Someone else sees it, someone else sees it. They're inspired to act and do a little act of service as well, and one ripple at a time you make the world a better place.” After describing each awardee’s service, Coletti invited them to the front of the city council chambers to hand them their plaque and say a few words. Kyle Fielding Kyle Fielding, a sergeant in the Bonneville County Sheriff’s Office, was the lead sergeant for the City of Ammon for four years. Coletti said Fielding went the extra mile by attending many meetings and events to better understand and address the needs of the community. “There were times when I saw Sgt. Fielding doing his job in places where I didn't expect that he would need to be doing his job,” Coletti said. “It was a good experience, just being able to see the political science side of it and how government actually works,” Fielding said. “... Ammon is near and dear to my heart, and it was sad to leave." Rebecca and Adam DeVore Coletti said Rebecca and Adam DeVore are always helping out. He said they clean up parks, pull weeds, pick up trash and Adam has also helped with some electrical issues at parks and city events. Coleti said they also take pictures and videos at all city events and upload recaps that the city posts on social media. “We came from California before everybody came,” Rebecca said. “And I think my videos kind of say it all. It's felt like home since we moved here, we've been treated like family by the community. So that's what I try to capture. We love it here." George Watkins III Coletti said George Watkins III has served on the Ammon urban renewal board for over 30 years without any compensation or recognition. Watkins helped establish the first urban renewal district in Ammon, called the Hitt Road district. Coletti said this project replaced dilapidated structures with the shopping area where Albertsons, Target, McDonalds, and other stores are now located. Coletti said all the other members of the urban renewal board have since moved on, but Watkins has stayed to see the closeout of the Hitt Road district in 2025. “I ran for city council once back then, and I’m kind of glad I didn't get it,” Watkins said. “But helping on the board — the board really had some rough years, but you know it's done. We got the bonds paid off. Now (the city) has got us going on a new one. I thought I was done ... I’ll keep going.” Katie Howell Coletti said Katie Howell coaches two teams in Ammon’s Little League program. Howell is the head scorekeeper and runs a scorekeeper training class in the spring. Howell updates the program website with scores and pitch counts from coaches every night. Howell also works on policies and procedures, answering coaches’ questions about rules. Coletti said Howell previously asked him whether the award was going to the right person. “I didn't believe it because there are people that do more,” Howell said. “But I do love the kids. I love the program ... We're trying to just give these kids opportunities to have fun, to make friends, and to just grow roots in our city so that hopefully they'll stick around and continue it on with their kids.” Lisa Meek Lisa Meek is the manager of the La Quinta Inn located in Ammon. Coletti said she is largely responsible for the growth of the Ammon Days hot air balloon festival. She offers pilots and their families and crew members good room rates and gives them bags, towels, patches and other items personalized with the designs of their balloon. “Lisa is a big reason why hot air balloon pilots from around the intermountain west love coming to Ammon every summer,” Coletti said. “I love being able to be a part of the Ammon community,” Meek said. “And I do all the things that I do because I enjoy participating with it and trying to help our community have as many fun things as we can.” Dane Watkins Coletti said Dane Watkins, a judge in the Seventh Judicial District, always takes time to meet with youth groups such as the Mayor's Youth Advisory Council to teach about the judicial system. “I can tell he truly cares about the next generation and that they understand what happens in our courts,” Coletti said. “One time when we couldn't go to the courthouse he said, ‘I'll just come to you.’ So, he came to the city building to teach the kids.” Watkins was unable to attend Thursday. Coletti said he was at a judicial conference.Youths in Kisumu poised to benefit from revolutionary Talent Discovery ProgramAs the story of Xiaohua's husband's idolization of Dao Lang continues to circulate in the media and entertainment circles, it serves as a reminder of the whimsical and charming aspects of human relationships and celebrity culture.
