As the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce continues to grow and thrive, we take this opportunity to express our deep gratitude and appreciation for two incredible individuals who have served on our Board of Directors. Jessica Devenish and Amanda Kuhnz Spencer have both made lasting impacts on our organization and our community, and while we are sad to see them go, we are thankful for their dedication, leadership, and service.

We thank Amanda for her enthusiasm and approach to membership engagement in helping with the growth of the Chamber and in serving the business community.

The Board of Directors and member businesses of the Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce are truly grateful for Jessica and Amanda’s service.

2025 BUSINESS OF THE YEAR

DALE PETERSON AUTO BODY

In 1978, with 28 years of experience in the auto collision repair business, Dale Peterson decided to start his own business. His knowledge and substantial skills made him one of the most trusted collision repairmen in Utah County. This was the beginning of Dale Peterson Body Shop in Springville.

Working side by side, Dale and his son, Tad, built the business’s first small building at 309 W. 900 North in Springville. The business continues to operate there to this day. There have been many additions made to the building throughout the years as the business continued to grow.

Dale taught Tad from the beginning about the importance of commitment to high-quality work and customer satisfaction. Every vehicle needed to be as important to them as it was to its owner; their work has the Peterson name on it.

After many years of working alongside family and serving his community, Dale passed away Nov. 10, 2024, at the age of 91. He was at the shop nearly every day until only 12 days before his passing. He loved to visit with his family and the customers daily.

Tad, his wife, Amy, and their children — Derek, Travis, Braden and Carmen — continue with the same principles of honesty, hard work, quality craftsmanship and

commitment to their customers and each other. The business has provided an opportunity for the family to work together; it has been a true blessing in all of their lives.

Dale Peterson Auto Body provides quality collision repair services. It is I-Car certified in welding, steel sectioning and aluminum repairs as well as OEM approved for repair procedures, Ford certified for aluminum repairs and UDOT certified for towing with an impound yard.

It is a Better Business Bureau A+ credited business and a member

of the National Federation of Independent Business. It has been a member of the SpringvilleMapleton Chamber of Commerce almost since the chamber’s beginning.

The family members would like to express their appreciation for the opportunity of being part of the wonderful Springville/ Mapleton community as a family and as business owners. They are extremely grateful for the community’s continued support in the growing of their business and especially for friendships forged.

2025 CHAMBER AWARDS

2025 CITIZEN OF THE YEAR CHARLES NACKOS

Charles James Nackos and his twin brother Lou were born on May 14, 1938, in Salt Lake City. Their parents, James and Tena Nackos, were second-generation children of immigrants. His dad was Greek and his mother was Bulgarian. His first home was a converted boxcar, and he and Lou were so small that their beds were shoe boxes. Charles has six brothers and sisters. During his younger years, his family lived in various cities in Utah, Oregon, Washington and California.

In his teens, his family moved to Oakland, California, where they owned and ran a barbecue restaurant. He attended Fremont High School and participated in gymnastics, journalism and drama. Upon graduation, he served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Northern Mexico Mission for two and a half years.

Within weeks of returning to the United States, he enlisted in the U.S. Coast Guard. He served six months of active duty at Base Alameda in California and would serve six and a half years in the Coast Guard reserves. During that time, he attended Brigham Young University, where he acted in plays and was active in the pep club on campus known as the Young Men. He graduated with a degree in

communications and a lifelong love of BYU sports.

Charles met his wife-to-be, Lela Rae Perkins (from East Carbon, Utah), while living and working in Costa Mesa, California. They were married in the Los Angeles Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1967. After giving birth to their daughter in California, they settled in Utah, where they added five more boys. They eventually moved to Springville in 1972, where Charles has lived ever since. His youngest son, Jonathan, passed away in a car wreck in Hobble Creek Canyon in 1994, and his wife passed away from cancer in 1995. His living children are Jennifer (Spencer) Nelson, James (Tina) Nackos, Jason (Dalia) Nackos, Jared Nackos and Jeffrey (Jamie) Nackos. He has 21 grandchildren and seven greatgrandchildren with another on the way.

Charles spent the majority of his career in sales and merchandising. He worked for Howard Ruff at his company, the Jefferson Institute, for several years, organizing seminars nationwide. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he co-owned a travel business and logged thousands of miles of travel throughout the country. When the 9/11 attacks hit, it negatively affected the company to the point that they had to close

the business.

At 86 years old, he still works five days a week selling manufactured homes at Elite Housing in Springville. His all-time favorite job was as a substitute teacher in the Springville and Mapleton schools, where he was known as Mr. Nachos (a play on his last name). He substitute-taught classes for 12 years and impacted the lives of many with his humor and love for the students.

Since Lela’s passing, he has dedicated much of his spare time to serving his family, neighbors and church. He has given countless hours of service to neighbors doing yard work and other chores. Although his age and a stroke in 2020 have limited his ability to provide physical labor, he still finds ways to serve. His infectious personality has touched the lives of many in our community for the past 53 years.

In the church, he served as an Aaronic priesthood leader and Scoutmaster. He and other leaders took the boys on many trips to the Uinta Mountains; three of those trips were 50-milers. He enjoyed working with the youth and having his boys there with him.

He served many years in the Lions Club. They raised money to build three park pavilions. Denny and Richard Howell coached the Giants baseball team from 1965 to 1979. He also coached a pony league baseball team in Springville in 1980.

CHAIR’S

CHOICE AWARD

VERN SWANSON

Dr. Vern G. Swanson was born in Oregon in 1945. In autumn of 1964, he attended Brigham Young University on a football scholarship, studying fine art painting and art history. Vern had never been to Utah before. He heard there was an art museum in Springville, and he took the opportunity to hitch-hike there. He ended up running most of the way on that hot and dry August day. He made it to the museum just as Julie Snow-Berkheimer was locking up. Out of breath, he ran up to her and begged to go in. “I remember going to the ground, sweating profusely and obviously suffering, begging for water,” he said. She broke down and let him in. She took him to the drinking fountain and he looked into the

step-down gallery, now renamed the Swanson Gallery. He saw statues of a buffalo and a nude Lady Godiva on horseback and exclaimed, “That’s an Avard Fairbanks and that’s an Anna Hyatt Huntington!” With that, they went carefully through each gallery. Before he left, they sat on a wooden bench contemplating what had just spontaneously happened. She slapped him on his knee and said, “One day you will become the curator of this gallery.” And, on Aug. 1 of 1980, her prophecy came true. Upon graduating from BYU in 1969, he moved to Washington, D.C., where he worked at the National Gallery of Art for a year. Swanson returned to Utah to take a position running an art sales gallery first in Salt Lake City, then in Provo. There, he

met Elaine Milne, a BYU student from Alberta, Canada, and they married in the Cardston Alberta Temple. He later worked for an art sales gallery on Sutter Street in San Francisco. He then moved to Calgary, Alberta, where he worked construction for his father-in-law and coached semi-pro football. After a year, they returned to Salt Lake City, where he began a master’s degree program in art history at the University of Utah.

After graduation in 1973, he was hired by Auburn University as an assistant professor of art and art history. After the tragic deaths of his wife and young son in April of 1975 in an automobile accident, he taught for another year. Returning

Vern worked at Wasatch Bronzeworks foundry in Lehi for two years, then enrolled at the Courtauld Institute of Art, University of London, in England in 1978, earning his Ph.D. in art history. Dr. Swanson has since authored and co-authored 23 books. From 1989 to 2007, he consulted for a Minneapolis client and brought 24,000 Russian works of art to America and also built the SMA’s Russian art collection.

The Springville Museum of Art hired him to be its director in August of 1980, where he served with distinction for 32 years before retiring in August of 2012. During his tenure, he quadrupled the size of the permanent art collection (mostly of Utah and Soviet realist art), doubled the size of the facilities with a new wing and sculpture garden, and increased the staff and overall professionalism. Being its director was one of the greatest honors of his life.

Business BINGO cards are sent out to elementary schoolaged children in Springville and Mapleton during the last week of the school year. On the card is a grid with the names of various

local businesses. The students and their families are invited to visit the businesses listed and get a sticker or stamp indicating they have visited the business.

Once the student reaches “blackout,” or has all the boxes filled, he or she should turn in the card at the Service Desk on the main floor of the Springville Civic Center, 110 S. Main. Students will also be able to turn in their cards at the Chamber’s Art City Days booth, which will be set up in Civic Center

CHAMBER FAMILY BBQ

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to its eighth annual Networking Family BBQ this summer.

This year’s event will be held on Thursday, Aug. 14, at 6 p.m. and is open to all Chamber members and their families. It will be held at the large pavilion at Mapleton City Park,

Park June 7-14 during Art City Days. Students will have until 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, to turn in their cards.

ANNUAL CHAMBER ACTIVITIES

GOLF TOURNAMENT

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is proud to host its annual Scholarship & Charity Golf Tournament on Monday, Sept. 22, at the Hobble Creek Golf Course.

Each September, SpringvilleMapleton Chamber of Commerce members enjoy a round of golf in the beautiful fall setting of Hobble Creek Canyon while raising money for local high school seniors to further their education and to help meet other community needs.

The Chamber event is only possible with the support of fantastic businesses and business owners who volunteer their time and services and sponsor the event. The Springville Hobble Creek Golf Course will host the 2025 tournament, with Sand Trap Café providing a space to gather for breakfast and breakfast sponsored by Chick-fil-A.

Reams Springville Market has been a long-time supporter of the golf tournament and has helped it become a huge success. Lunch is sponsored and cooked by Reams, who provides a steak and shrimp lunch for golfers to enjoy. Drinks are sponsored by Pepsi Cola of Springville and tournament snacks are provided by SUNPRO.

Businesses sponsor their fourmember team; up to 34 teams can participate. Companies can also sponsor specific holes on the course and donate items for the event’s prize drawing.

The tournament is “best ball,” meaning the best stroke of the foursome is the one that counts on the score. As another way to raise money, the Chamber offers threefoot candy ropes for sale; players

that come up just short of the hole can cut the difference off their candy rope, eat it and consider the ball sunk.

Proceeds from the tournament fund college scholarships for local high school seniors living in Springville and Mapleton and children of Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce members who are eligible to apply. In choosing the scholarship recipients, the Chamber seeks students who have been involved in business in some fashion or are planning to go into a business-related field.

The Chamber raises enough money each year through the golf tournament to give out from four to six scholarships of $1,000 or more. Local charities are also supported through the proceeds of the tournament.

Last year, the tournament raised enough money to award $12,000 in scholarships. The Chamber also donated $500 to the Central Bank Giving Tree and 150 Christmas stockings to the Springville Kiwanis/Community Action Food Bank through the funds raised.

The 2024 scholarship winners were Springville High School students Daniel Ewing and Jared Hardy and Maple Mountain High School students Callie Essner, Elsie Griffin and Morgan Honsvick.

The tournament provides opportunities to network, promote your business and have fun playing golf. Companies can lend a hand in several ways, including playing in the tournament, becoming a sponsor or donating an item for the prize drawing.

ANNUAL CHAMBER ACTIVITIES

SAFE HALLOWEEN

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce’s Safe Halloween began as a small event offering a safe trick-ortreating alternative for local children and a way to promote downtown businesses. Over the years, however, attendance at the annual event has exploded, and many businesses from outside the downtown area now participate.

“The first year, there were about 300 kids. Then it was about 800 kids,” said Craig Conover, a member of the Chamber’s board of directors and one of the founders of the Safe Halloween event.

“Now it’s like 3,000 kids that go down trick-or-treating at all the businesses.”

Each year, thousands of costumed children and their parents crowd onto the sidewalks along Springville’s Main Street between 400 South and Center Street for Safe Halloween. So many people participate that it became necessary to have all the traffic flow in a counterclockwise fashion to keep everything moving. Now, participants travel around in one long line like a festive Halloween parade.

As the families walk along Main Street, businesses pass out candy— and sometimes coupons or product samples — to the trick-or-treaters.

Conover said the event was

BATTLE OF THE PIZZAS

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to its annual Battle of the Pizzas on Tuesday, Nov. 11.

The Springville-Mapleton Chamber of Commerce’s November

Noon Networking event is devoted each year to the chamber’s Battle of the Pizzas and Membership Campaign. The event was started in 2018 when Shirlene Jordan was the Chamber’s executive director,

originally envisioned as a safe event for children to enjoy on Halloween and a way to attract people into the downtown area and familiarize them with downtown businesses. As the event grew, however, the Chamber began inviting all its members, regardless of location, to participate by setting up a booth in the Civic Center Park and handing out treats.

Springville City also participates, with city officials handing out candy to the children from their own booth in the park.

“It’s a good way for the kids to get out in the afternoon while it’s still warm,” Conover said,

and it has been a fun part of the chamber’s education events.

The Battle of the Pizzas aims to spotlight participating pizza restaurants while offering a networking opportunity for business members.

Guests sample each pizzeria’s best pizzas, then judge them and determine their favorites. The event is full of networking and eating.

Recent years’ events included a membership drive to provide an opportunity for businesses to visit and learn more about the Chamber. There are many who are still unclear about what the Chamber has to offer. This event is a great way to spotlight the Chamber’s networking opportunities and answer any questions, and guests are able to participate for free.

and businesses can showcase their products and services for the parents. The only cost for member businesses to participate is purchasing the candy they distribute.

“It’s a good way to get your name out,” Conover said.

This year’s Safe Halloween will be held on Friday, Oct. 31, from 3 to 5 p.m. For more information about the Chamber and Safe Halloween, contact the Chamber at 801-491-7830 or info@ springvillemapletonchamber.org or visit springvilleutahchamber.org/ safe-halloween.

The 2024 Battle of the Pizzas event was supported by Papa Johns of Springville (Gordon Hansen), Pier 49 Pizza Springville, Zubs Pizza & Subs (Rena Peacock) and A Slice of New York Pizza. Many businesses donated prizes for the drawing.

The 2024 Battle of the Pizzas winners were:

The Best Crust: Zubs Pizza & Subs The Best Use of Spices: A Slice of New York Pizza The Most Memorable: A Slice of New York Pizza

Overall Best: Zubs Pizza & Subs

We are privileged to be a part of such a great community and to have such supportive businesses. Go out and support local businesses today! Learn more about the Battle of the Pizzas at springvilleutahchamber. org/battle-of-the-pizza.

CODY’S GASTRO GARAGE: DINER WITH A GOURMET TOUCH

Rachel and Chris Shurian opened a restaurant near the shore of Bear Lake in northern Utah nearly a decade ago. As residents of Mapleton, however, they wanted to somehow bring their culinary business closer to home.

This desire led to the opening of Cody’s Gastro Garage at 160 S. Main in Springville in May of 2024.

“We’ve always wanted to have one here,” Rachel said. “It’s been really great. It really has. We, of course, joined the (SpringvilleMapleton) Chamber of Commerce because I feel that’s the very best way to do it.”

When they opened their first Cody’s Gastro Garage in Garden City in 2017, the Shurians had a dream but no restaurant experience. As a real estate developer, Chris had developed a commercial area in Garden City that included several different stores, including a restaurant space.

Chris had the idea to create a restaurant in that space with a

“garage” theme, utilizing decor that featured classic cars and motorcycles. They decided to give his idea a try.

“It’s been really hard, but it’s been really good. We’ve really enjoyed it,” Rachel said.

The Springville location is the second Cody’s Gastro Garage to open; the Shurians opened a third Cody’s in June of 2024 in Nephi.

It’s a family business named after their youngest son, Cody. Their daughter Amy Shurian manages the Springville location, and their 19-year-old son Jaron Wright works as a server. Cody comes in to do anything that’s needed, whether’s busing tables or washing dishes.

Rachel described the food at Cody’s as “gourmet comfort food.” “I call it elevated pub-style food. It’s gourmet salads, it’s gourmet burgers,” she said. Diners can order thick, stuffed quesadillas toasted in a panini press, a variety of burgers and appetizers, tacos, sandwiches and fries (regular and sweet potato fries).

The salad options include the Art City Special, a nod to the popular item of the same name that was formerly served at Springville’s Art City Trolley restaurant.

“We actually developed a lot of our menu based on things that we have tried while traveling,” Rachel said. One item — the Unbelievable burger — was designed based on a burger Chris enjoyed at a restaurant formerly open in Provo. Chris talked to the chef of that restaurant and learned the secret ingredient, one that is now used on

the Unbelievable burger: Nutella. “It is our most popular (burger) by far. People love it,” Rachel said.

On Saturdays and Sundays, the restaurant offers brunch options, including omelet bowls, a breakfast burrito, eggs Benedict and bagel sandwiches. Those who call and pre-order before they arrive can enjoy the Cinnablock, a giant 2-pound cinnamon roll that will easily “satisfy the herd,” according to the menu.

Diners at Cody’s Gastro Garage are surrounded by items that have meaning to the Shurian family.

Just inside the front door, Chris’ first Harley-Davidson motorcycle is displayed, and hanging on a wall are all the Hot Rod magazines issued during the year Cody was born. Other items on display honor family friends. Several menu items are named after Shurian family

members.

Rachel said in the future, Cody’s plans to expand its offerings to include dinner-type entrees. The restaurant also does catering and operates a food truck.

“We’re super happy to be here so close to home, and we’re extremely grateful for all the support from our Springville/Mapleton community,” Rachel said.

Cody’s Gastro Garage is open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Fridays from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (serving brunch from 8 a.m. to noon) and Sundays from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. (serving brunch all day). For more information, visit codysgastrogarage.com.

JOHNSON TIRE SERVICE HITS 100-YEAR MARK

Johnson Tire Service has come a long way from when its founder C. Edwin Johnson first began working with tires and batteries.

“He saw a lot of things change in the business, and it continues to change,” said Riley Johnson, Edwin’s great-grandson. Riley now runs Johnson Tire with his cousin Jeff Jackson.

Johnson Tire began its second century in business after celebrating its 100th birthday in 2024.

Riley and Jeff are the fourth generation of the Johnson family to run the business, but many other family members work there as well. Johnson Tire has grown to become a business with approximately $5 million in annual sales.

“Springville’s been really good to us. Business is good. We live in a great community and, you know, Springville’s just awesome,” Riley said.

C. Edwin Johnson was a World War I veteran who was wounded in the European theater. After he recovered and was released from active duty, he learned he was eligible for a government loan to attend school. He’d always been interested in automobiles and eventually decided to attend an automotive school in Denver. The school specialized in generator and battery work and, as this was the early 1920s and the automobile was just coming into its own, Ed decided it was a field worth exploring.

After graduating from school, Ed was certified to repair and rebuild generators and starters as well as warehouse and check car batteries during the winter months. Upon returning to Utah - both Ed and his

wife Esther were from the Benjamin area - Ed was looking for work when a brother-in-law mentioned he’d heard about an employment opportunity in Springville. Soon Ed was working for Bill and Earl Phillips at Phillips Garage in Springville.

Eventually, Ed learned that Bill Grooms, who had a small tire and battery business in the garage, wanted to sell his business, giving Ed the golden opportunity to own his own business. After acquiring Grooms’ business, Ed rented a “work bench” in the corner of Phillips Garage in 1924, officially beginning Johnson Tire Service.

After many years of working alone, Ed hired his first full-time employee, “Doc” Bertelsen, and they worked together for many years. He also brought on Al Smith to help on a part-time basis, and the three of them worked side by side developing the business.

As business continued to grow, Ed realized he needed to move to a larger location. In early 1945, he purchased a property at 45 E. 200 South in Springville and started to build his own store.

In late 1945, Ed’s son Edwin joined his father in the business after being discharged from active duty in World War II. In 1948, the two decided to go into the recap business with one tire mold and a press. Business increased, and they purchased retreading equipment from a store in Richfield.

Business was going well, but the father and son eventually saw that the generators and batteries they had started with were less important and tire sales and service seemed to be the direction to head in.

Ed and Esther left the business in 1964, and Edwin and his wife Beth purchased it from them. They continued in the 200 South building until they built and moved into an ultra-modern facility at 610 N. Main in Springville, where the business is still located. The building was later expanded to nearly double its original size.

Johnson Tire Service continues to sell tires as well as offer full automotive service and repair including alignments, brake repair, tune ups and computer diagnostics.

Members of the Johnson family who are involved in Springville’s 100-year-old Johnson Tire Service business include, from left: Zach Jackson, Jacob Jackson, Jeff Jackson, Riley Johnson and Clayton Johnson.

SPRINGVILLE MAYOR’S MESSAGE

As cities throughout the valley grow, as mayor, I ask myself, how do we maintain a unique identity for Springville City? Springville’s official tagline is “Art City.” This moniker is certainly tied to the Springville Museum of Art and famous artists who called Springville home and generously donated original works of art to the Springville High student body starting in the late 1800s. Those pieces are now the foundation of our museum’s permanent collection.

Today, Springville’s museum is one of the premier museums in the West. It has won many awards, contributing to our community being voted as Utah Valley’s “Best City to Live In” 10 times within the last 14 years. What else does Springville offer that qualifies us to be the best city to live in? In addition to the award-winning museum, read on for other reasons why Springville remains a great city to live and do business in.

Springville’s location in the middle of Utah Valley offers multiple access corridors to I-15 and proximity to the Provo Airport and UTA’s future FrontRunner south county service, all of which create easy access in and out of the community. We offer bike-friendly streets and trails accessing the Wasatch Front mountain range. These transportation options allow for year-round cultural experiences and great outdoor adventures. Our award-winning Hobble Creek Golf Course is only minutes up Hobble Creek Canyon. Whether you want to play nine

or 18 holes, or just hit a bucket of balls, we offer an environment with breathtaking views from every tee. Adjacent to the golf course, you can enjoy a day picnic or a weekend adventure with three spacious canyon campgrounds complete with pavilions, campsites (for trailers and tents) and restroom facilities.

Springville is home to our award-winning Clyde Recreation Center, best-in-state library, and, did I mention, a worldclass museum of art? We have an outdoor Art Loop that encompasses several blocks featuring public art sculptures, statues and murals. We have more than 40 parks in our community, and our recreation department hosts hundreds of sporting activities for citizens of all ages and abilities to enjoy. Other strengths of our community include our solid, well-managed city infrastructure. Springville Power is one of the most reliable and cost-effective electric companies in the West. Springville Public Works offers abundant clean spring water, well-planned roads, reliable solid waste management and many other services that keep things flowing smoothly year-round. We are home to fiber and other high-speed internet options to keep homes and businesses going strong.

Our 24-hour public safety team has been voted “best of” multiple times. Our police, fire and EMT members are highly trained and quick to respond to any emergency.

The list continues. Each year we have multiple local events and festivals. These include the Community Easter Egg Hunt, Art City Days (which offers an entire week of events, including a rodeo, food and craft booths, a carnival, the Duct Tape Regatta and the Grand Parade, just to name a few), the Spring Salon art exhibit in conjunction with the annual Art Ball, the Children’s Art Festival, Movies in the Park, the Summer Concert Series, the Sunday Concert Series, the Bike with the Mayor event, the Springville Farmer’s Market, the Springville Chamber of Commerce’s Safe Halloween trick-or-treat event, the Holiday Festival & Santa Village and more. All events are focused on family fun and entertainment.

Come experience for yourself Springville’s unique identity. You will quickly see why we are Utah’s Art City.

PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF SPOTLIGHT

LANCE HAIGHT, SPRINGVILLE PUBLIC SAFETY DIRECTOR/POLICE CHIEF

It is my honor and privilege to serve as the Springville’s chief of police and director of public safety. We live in a wonderful area with great people. Our first responders absolutely feel the tremendous support that we receive from our community, and we return that appreciation with dedication to helping those in need. I have worked in Springville for just over three years, and it has been awesome. The men and women in our police department are the best. In 2023, I was honored with the Chief of the Year Award from the Utah Chiefs of Police Association, but the award was really a recognition of the fantastic work done by the men and women of our police department during a difficult year in 2022.

It takes all of us to keep our community safe and enjoyable. A growing crime that we can all look out for and try to prevent is fraud, particularly internet scams. Here are a few scenarios to be aware of:

• Scammers will tell you that there was a mix-up in billing and that they refunded you too much money. They want you to send the money back. It might even look like there is extra money in your account, but it is a scam. Talk to your bank. They can help you figure out what is really going on.

• If a beautiful man or woman tries to develop a friendship or relationship with you and then they ask you for money, it is probably a scammer from overseas who looks

nothing like the person you think you are communicating with. This happens all too often.

• If an “IT support specialist” calls you on the phone or contacts you on the internet and tells you that your computer has been hacked, it can actually be a scam. They will ask for access to your computer to fix an issue, but they are really trying to gain access to your financial accounts. Never give your computer passwords to someone over the phone or via email.

• Scammers will also impersonate law enforcement on the phone to tell you that you have a warrant for your arrest and that you need to send money in order to avoid arrest. If you ever have a question, call the police department directly and we will give you the real information. Scammers will also tell you that a family member has a warrant or is in jail; sometimes they say the family member is in another country and needs help. These things are usually scams.

• Especially for young people: don’t trade immodest or naked photos over the internet or via cell phones. It is always a bad idea, and it can also be illegal. Scammers will threaten to send your photos to your family members if you don’t send the scammers money.

Here are a few warnings and tips:

• Never send money, gift cards or crypto currency to someone you have only seen through social media but never in person. It is usually a scam, and you will never

get your money back. Scammers can even fake video calls.

• Scammers will try to keep you on the phone while you go to the bank or to a store to buy gift cards. They want to control your every move. They will tell you that you shouldn’t talk to anyone else.

• Scammer are also using delivery services to pick up money from you at home. Even if someone comes to your home, it is still most likely a scam.

• Scammers will try to get you in a rush to send them money. Time is on your side. If you slow down and ask either the police, your bank or your family for real information, then you can avoid getting scammed.

PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF SPOTLIGHT

SPRINGVILLE FIRE CHIEF HENRY CLINTON

It is a pleasure to serve as the fire chief for Springville Fire and Rescue. I have been in the fire service for more than 40 years, starting my career in 1982 with the Las Vegas Fire Department. I retired from Las Vegas in 2010 and was hired by Springville City that same year to serve as fire chief. I have been serving the citizens of Springville ever since.

Springville Fire & Rescue is a full-time fire department that provides fire and EMS service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We also provide emergency medical responses at the paramedic level. Additionally, we have included ice rescue and operational hazardous materials responses for Springville.

Our Springville Fire mission statement is “Save Lives, Fight Fire, and Protect Property.” Our motto is “Response Ready!”

Life safety is our number one priority. If there is one thing we would suggest, one simple act that can save you and your family’s lives, it is to check your smoke detectors.

Smoke detectors will sound an alarm in the case of a fire, providing an early warning and enough time for you and your family to escape. Most homes in the United States have smoke detectors installed; however, 30 percent of those are not in working order.

Smoke detectors save lives. I can attest to that; the saddest part of my job is removing fire victims from a burned home only to find out that their smoke detectors did not work. Please check your detectors once a month and change the batteries twice a year. A good rule of thumb is to change the batteries in the spring and fall when the time changes. A properly maintained smoke detector is the single most important item you can have in your home in the fight against firerelated deaths.

MISS SPRINGVILLE/MAPLETON 2024

REBEKAH WALL

Rebekah Wall, Miss Springville/ Mapleton 2024, loved growing up in Mapleton playing basketball and soccer and enjoying the traditional 24th of July as a favorite holiday. She is the daughter of Kyle and Mary Wall and the sixth of eight children.

Rebekah is a 2024 graduate of Maple Mountain High School, where she was a member of the MMHS Dance Company, Drill Team (Region champions), Cheer Team and Lacrosse Team (Region champs). She graduated with a 4.0 GPA and earned her Certified Nursing Assistant License through Mountainland Technical College. Rebekah is currently a freshman at Utah Valley University, where she is studying health science with the goal of becoming an emergency room nurse.

Rebekah’s Community Service Initiative is “The Strength of a Powerful Mind.” Through it, she encourages youth and adults to grow their mental health and build resilience. Over the past year, she has dedicated more than 250 hours to volunteering at various Mapleton and Springville community events, residential treatment centers, schools, libraries and nursing homes, helping individuals navigate personal mental health challenges and highlighting the importance of focusing on growth mindset and potential.

Some of Rebekah’s most memorable moments this year include dancing with children and Brigham Young University’s

Cosmo to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society; hosting a week-long dance camp for Mapleton Ballet Academy; choreographing and producing a ballet for a Christmas performance at Spring Gardens Assisted Living; judging Little Miss Salem; making bracelets for breast cancer awareness; reading stories at libraries; and volunteering at multiple elementary schools.

She partnered with mental health professionals to focus on building resilience and emotional strength in teens affected by trauma and mental health challenges. Through these partnerships, she participated in a dating and relationship panel at Discovery Ranch Treatment Center, where youth were encouraged to understand the importance of selfrespect, healthy communication and setting boundaries in relationships.

She also hosted the Manners and Positivity Tea Party at Maple Lake Academy, teaching the value of kindness and maintaining a positive mindset, especially when faced with life’s challenges.

At New Haven Residential Treatment Center, she supported a group community bonding activity, encouraging participants to see obstacles not as setbacks but as opportunities to grow stronger and more resilient. She believes that a strong mind doesn’t come from avoiding challenges but from embracing them with a mindset of possibility and perseverance.

Additional highlights of the year for Rebekah have been serving both the cities of Mapleton and Springville through volunteering at fireman’s breakfasts, supporting the Veterans Day memorials and cheering on children at track and field events.

She enjoyed giving back to the city celebrations that were such an idyllic part of her own childhood. These included the Art City Days Hot-Air Balloon Fest, Grand Parade, Duct Tape Regatta, Family Concert, fireworks, Hometown Rodeo and CelebrARTE. She painted more cute little faces than she can count.

At Mapleton’s 24th of July celebration, she got to support the Fireman’s Breakfast, Family Dance, Mapleton’s Got Talent, Fun in the Park (with more painting of cute little faces) and Ping Pong Ball Drop. She loved supporting the World Folkfest in Springville and the Christmas lighting ceremonies in both cities. She helped promote Mapleton’s Burn Bright event and Winter Wonderland Ball and the Springville Art Ball. She has loved serving the amazing people in Springville and Mapleton.

Rebekah is honored to represent Springville and Mapleton at the Miss Utah competition in June. She will be performing a contemporary ballet routine as her talent, and she can’t wait to share her love for dance.

EASTER EGG HUNT

Each year on the Saturday before Easter, the city Easter Egg Hunt is held at Memorial Park, 200 S. 600 East. Thousands of eggs are available to gather, with areas sectioned off for different age groups. Some eggs hold tickets for larger prizes. The event is free; bring your own basket!

SCULPTURE, SPECIAL RECREATION DAY CREATED TO HONOR THE LEGACY OF ‘BIG AL’ CURTIS

In early 2023, officials at Springville City made a decision: something needed to be done to honor Big Al.

A committee was put together and ideas discussed. The result is a life-sized statue of Alan Curtis, a man who spent decades serving the residents of Springville — especially the city’s youth.

The Al Curtis Memorial Sculpture was unveiled Sept. 17, 2024, in Springville’s Memorial Park, 200 S. 600 East. The sculpture depicts Al sitting on a bench wearing a Springville High School Red Devils shirt and holding a football. Near him rests a can of Pepsi, a rake and a baseball and bat.

The items represent Al’s personality and his decades of work in Springville City and school recreation and sports programs. A 1963 graduate of Springville High, he coached high school football in the area for nearly 50 years. In 1977, Al became the city’s first parks and recreation director, a position he held for 28 years.

He loved providing recreation for thousands of youth in the city and worked to introduce new programs such as youth soccer, flag football and junior golf. He was instrumental in getting several parks built in the city and was constantly out in the community monitoring recreation events and doing whatever needed to be done, including setting up chairs, cleaning up trash or grooming playing fields.

“He just had the spirit of service his whole life. My first memories of playing sports are at Memorial Park and Al Curtis was there,” said Stacey Child, Springville City parks

and recreation director. “He was just such a part of recreation as we know it today in Springville. His whole life was dedicated to kids. Even when I got older, when I would see him, he would say, ‘Stacey, we’re doing this for the kids.’”

Al’s son Courtney Curtis said Springville City Council Member Chris Sorensen and Springville City Attorney John Penrod spearheaded the idea of honoring Al. A committee was organized, and on March 7, 2023, the Springville City Council approved

a resolution renaming Memorial Park as the “Alan Curtis Recreation Complex at Memorial Park.”

The resolution also designated the first Saturday of the city recreation department’s annual baseball season as “Al Curtis Day.”

“When they passed the resolution at city council, everybody was there,” Courtney said, adding that his father was very appreciative of of it even though Al didn’t want a lot of recognition for the things he did. “I think at that point, he realized that he better just grin and bear it, that he realized that people

appreciated him.”

In the fall of 2023, when the idea of creating a statue of Al surfaced, a committee of community representatives and artists came together to discuss who would create the sculpture and how to raise funds to pay for it. However, Central Bank in Springville stepped up with a commitment to provide all financing for the statue if artist Gary Price sculpted it.

“That really expedited the process” of getting the statue done, Courtney Curtis said.

Gary Price is a long-time Springville resident whose sculptures are found in public spaces and private collections around the world. The Hong Kong Central Library features 12 of Price’s life-size bronze sculptures, and a 22-foot version of his sculpture “Celebration!” stands in front of Nu Skin’s corporate headquarters in Provo.

Price’s sons attended school in Springville and participated in sports. “We knew Al very well, and he knew my kids very well,” Price

said. “I knew his character, and so when I was asked to do this, it was such an honor, and I felt like I could literally create a piece that held his spirit.”

Courtney and his mother Carol Ann Curtis visited with Price at his studio during the process of creating the sculpture, providing some of Al’s personal items to the artist and giving input as the work progressed.

Price said Carol loved the idea of having Al sitting on a bench where people could sit with him. However, she also critiqued of his work, proclaiming the earlier versions of Al as too thin.

“She kept saying, he’s got to be heavier, he’s got to be heavier,” Price said with a laugh.

The Pepsi can came out of Al’s well-known love of the beverage. It’s details like that little can that give a sculpture personality, Price said, adding that he still has some of the Pepsi cans in his studio that he sculpted early in the process.

Courtney Curtis said the family is thrilled with the way the sculpture

The 2025 Al Curtis Day and Springville Parks & Recreation’s Baseball/ Softball Opening Day will be held Saturday, May 17.

turned out. “It’s beautiful over there where my dad sits under those trees. It’s perfect,” he said.

Big Al was able to attend the first Al Curtis Day in May of 2023, where he tossed the first pitch of the season. He passed away shortly afterward on July 12, 2023. The annual event includes a variety of games, activities and contests.

“I just think it was so exciting that we were able to honor him while he was still with us,” Child said. “It’s really been such a wonderful thing to watch all these people who loved Al working together to make something awesome happen.”

In addition to the new plaza area containing the statue of Al, Memorial Park has received a number of other improvements. The tennis courts were redone, shade structures were placed over the bleachers, wiffle ball courts were added and a walking path created that circles the entire park. Future plans include adding batting cages and a new basketball court.

1600 SOUTH WIDENING, NEW BRIDGE OVER RAILROAD

PART OF I-15

INTERCHANGE PROJECT

Piles of dirt are rising in south Springville as the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) works to add a new freeway interchange to Interstate 15 and widen a section of the city’s 1600 South road. The $133 million project is expected to alleviate traffic congestion on both the 400 South I-15 interchange in Springville and the US-6 I-15 interchange in Spanish Fork. It will also improve safety for both pedestrians and drivers traveling along 1600 South. Construction will continue throughout 2025; completion is anticipated to occur in late 2026. The project includes the construction of new off-ramps allowing both northbound and southbound I-15 traffic to exit onto 1600 South as well as an on-ramp allowing 1600 South traffic to access I-15 and travel north.

NO SOUTHBOUND ONRAMP

Drivers wishing to travel south on I-15 from 1600 South will need to go west over the interstate using the existing bridge, then turn left at Spanish Fork Main Street and travel south to the Spanish Fork Main Street I-15 interchange. A traffic light will be installed at the 1600 North and Spanish Fork Main Street intersection to accommodate the increased traffic.

Beau Hunter, consultant public information manager for UDOT, said creating a southbound onramp at the new 1600 South interchange was deemed too dangerous for the existing freeway configuration. A ramp in that area would have southbound traffic merging left onto the freeway

exactly where drivers on I-15 are merging right to access three lanes that exit into Spanish Fork.

At some point in the future, the Spanish Fork US-6 interchange will be rebuilt, and the plan is to incorporate a southbound ramp from the Springville 1600 South into the new design at that time, Hunter said.

WIDENING 1600 SOUTH

In addition to the new freeway access, this construction project includes widening 1600 South from Spanish Fork’s Main Street to approximately 1200 West in Springville. The two-lane road will be increased to include two travel lanes in each direction as well as a fifth lane in the middle for turning traffic.

A new shared use path for walking, jogging and biking will be added to the north side of 1600 South along with a park strip, which will create an area of separation between pedestrians and vehicular traffic.

Traffic will travel over a new bridge being built over railroad tracks located at approximately 1600 West (known as the Union Pacific Railroad’s Sharp Line). Pilings have been driven into the ground at this location as part of the bridge project and dirt piled up to create the ramps on either side of the bridge.

“A lot of the efforts right now and in the coming months are going to be in the bridge over the railroad tracks,” Hunter said. Once the dirt is piled up, it will need to sit for a number of months to settle; residents may wonder why the bridge isn’t being finished immediately, but it’s all part of the plan.

“They’re building that up so it can sit for a time, and then they’ll finish it in 2026,” Hunter said.

FUTURE WIDENING PLANS

Two railroad lines cross 1600 South: the Sharp Line at 1600 West and the UPRR’s Tintic Line, which is located at approximately 1200

West. The current project will expand 1600 South to five lanes from Spanish Fork Main Street east until just before the Tintic Line, where it will taper back to its current two lanes.

Hunter said this is because it was deemed too expensive to build a second bridge over the Tintic Line tracks, especially since there are plans to eventually redirect that line west to the Sharp Line before it reaches 1600 South. There are also safety issues as it is challenging to create safe sight distances when two bridges are built so close together.

Future plans, however, are to eventually continue expanding 1600 South all the way to SR51. “Just due to the cost and complexity of the project, it’s being phased,” Hunter said, adding

that he anticipates the additional expansion would happen within the next few years.

There are long-term plans to eventually extend 1600 South all the way to Highway 89 where

it travels between Springville and Mapleton. That, however, will require more crossings over railroad lines, which makes such a project much more complex and expensive, Hunter said.

STAY INFORMED ABOUT SPRINGVILLE CITY

Through online posts, video streaming and the written word, Springville residents can stay informed about the latest news and upcoming activities in their city. Whether it’s an upcoming zoning change, an emergency alert or a schedule of events for a city celebration, Springville City is providing important information to the public through a number of different ways, including the following:

SOCIAL MEDIA

The way the city reaches the most people is through social media. Through social media, the city shares information regarding everything from power outages to upcoming events to job postings. The Springville Museum of Art, Clyde Recreation Center and Springville Public Library also have popular social media accounts.

QUARTERLY NEWSLETTERS

A printed newsletter included with city utility bills has long been a source of city information. While a segment of residents still finds the newsletter handy, many residents have either opted out of paper bills or don’t read the newsletter when they get it.

Accordingly, the city has made some adjustments, including changing the newsletter to a quarterly publication, producing more visual content and making the newsletter available online. It still contains helpful, bite-size information about city departments and operations with QR codes that can take the reader to more in-depth information if desired.

Those who don’t receive a physical bill can sign up to receive a digital version of the newsletter at springville.org/mayors-message/newsletter-sign-up/.

PODCAST: THE ART CITYSCAPE

In 2021, Springville City staff decided to create a podcast to give listeners access to more in-depth discussions about city operations. Very few cities in the country have podcasts, so this was new and exciting territory for Springville.

Titled The Art Cityscape, the podcast generally features conversations between the mayor and city staff members. Its episodes are 15 to 30 minutes long and can be found on virtually any podcasting app as well as YouTube.

Visit the podcast’s YouTube page at youtube.com/@theartcityscape7167.

EMERGENCY ALERTS

Springville City uses an emergency alert system called Everbridge to notify residents of urgent news such as power outages, water main breaks and more. Everbridge allows for communication only to residents in the impacted area.

To learn more and sign up for these alerts, visit springville.org/citizen-alert/

STREAMED CITY COUNCIL AND PLANNING MEETINGS

City council and planning meetings provide the best opportunity for residents to hear what city leaders are discussing and deciding. The city invites and encourages residents to attend city council meetings in person on first and third Tuesdays of each month at 7 p.m. City planning meetings are held on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month. The city now streams city council and planning meetings on YouTube. Streams can be viewed live or later at youtube.com/@springvillecitycouncil3402. Agendas are posted 24 hours before the meetings on the city website.

MAPLETON MAYOR’S MESSAGE

While Mapleton may not be known for a bustling commercial district, the businesses we do have – whether local entrepreneurs, service providers or home-based businesses – play an essential role in shaping our city’s identity. Their contributions extend beyond the goods and services they offer as they back the connections, traditions and small-town charm that define who we are.

Mapleton continues to experience steady residential growth, which naturally increases demand for services and goods. While our city remains primarily residential, Mapleton City’s General Plan includes designated commercial zoning areas in our city to meet the needs of our expanding community. We encourage those with a vision for business – whether a homebased endeavor, new venture or a specialized service – to explore ways they can contribute to Mapleton’s economic landscape.

There are great opportunities to utilize these commercial spaces and shape the Mapleton

experience for years to come. Additionally, we appreciate the businesses and interconnected economic relationships with neighboring cities that allow Mapleton residents to enjoy the best of both worlds — small-town living with access to broader economic conveniences and opportunities.

To our local businesses and entrepreneurs: thank you for enhancing our residents’ quality of life in numerous ways. Whether you’re providing essential services, supporting local events and programs, or simply offering a friendly face in your line of work, the impact is felt. In a small town like ours, economic success isn’t just measured in revenue; it’s measured in the ways we come together to support each other. As we look to the future, our goal is to balance responsible growth with the core values that define Mapleton. As a city, we are investing in infrastructure, fostering community engagement in a variety of capacities and continually exploring new ways to enhance the opportunities we

provide for our residents. Most importantly, we will continue to cherish what makes Mapleton special: our strong sense of community, our commitment to looking out for each other and the spirit of resilience and generosity that brings heart to our small town.

Together, we will make sure Mapleton continues to be a great place to live, work and grow.

PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF SPOTLIGHT

MAPLETON CITY POLICE CHIEF

JOHN JACKSON

Chief Jackson grew up in Spanish Fork. He is one of many police officers to come from the Spanish Fork High School Class of 1992. After graduating from high school, he knew he wanted to be a police officer, but he legally couldn’t until he was 21. To gain public service experience, he became a certified EMT and joined Spanish Fork’s ambulance crew. He credits that opportunity with teaching him maturity and how to communicate with others.

After graduating from the Utah Police Academy, Chief Jackson joined the Mapleton Police Department in 1995. He took a position with the Spanish Fork Police Department in 1997, where he had opportunities to teach D.A.R.E. curriculum, work investigations, complete a college degree and work in supervisory roles. In 2015, he was hired as the Mapleton City Police Chief. He and his wife, Kallie, live in Mapleton and have four daughters.

Q: When did you start working for Mapleton?

A: I’ve worked for Mapleton twice, and it’s where I’ll end my career. While interviewing for jobs after graduating from the police academy, I remember a chief in the north side of Utah County telling me he’d hire me if I promised I wouldn’t leave for Mapleton or Spanish Fork the first chance I got. I couldn’t make that promise, so I wasn’t hired. Luckily for me, I was hired by Mapleton Police Chief Bret Barney shortly after. One of my first

shifts was the Pioneer Day parade. I shined my boots up to wear with the dark brown Wrangler pants and tan shirts we wore at the time – we looked like wildlife officers. I didn’t care. I was a Mapleton cop and knew I was on track for an awesome career.

I don’t regret going to Spanish Fork. It was where I felt I needed to be, and I had some unbelievable experiences. I learned a lot, my family and I were treated well, and I gained many valuable relationships – many of which continue to this day. When the Mapleton City Police Chief opening came up, I was excited for the possibility of ending my career where it began and to work in a community that has been so good to my longtime resident grandparents over the years. I get to work with the best people, officers, city staff, elected officials and residents. As my career winds down, I can’t believe I got lucky enough to work for the two communities that I have.

Q: What is your favorite thing about Mapleton?

A: Seeing deer on every shift is pretty neat. The Pioneer Day fireworks aren’t half bad either. But for me, it’s knowing that when this community is needed, they’ll be there. I am amazed by the large-scale outpouring of support and love that this community shows. Whether there’s a fire on the mountain, a fundraiser for a teenager with cancer, needs for a displaced family, support for neighbors going through tragedy,

or just reassurance that Public Safety departments are needed and supported, this community comes through every time. I’ve witnessed each of these examples firsthand and know that this truly is a community where we can count on each other.

Q: What is one thing most people don’t know about you?

A: The only time I’m around boys is when I’m at work. I have two siblings … both sisters. I have four kids … all daughters. I wouldn’t have it any other way. They are all awesome!

Q: What advice do you have for Mapleton residents as they interact with your department in the community?

A: The type of officers we look to hire are community involved. Please chat with them! We want our officers to walk through the schools and interact with residents. Feel free to visit with them about concerns in your area of town. Feel free to ask them to speak at any event you feel they could add value to.

PUBLIC SAFETY CHIEF SPOTLIGHT

MAPLETON CITY FIRE CHIEF NICHOLAS A. GLASGOW

Chief Glasgow grew up in Riverside, California, and started in the fire service at 14 years old as a Fire Explorer with Riverside City Fire Department. He served for 10 years with the Riverside County Fire Department/CAL FIRE, leaving as a fire captain-paramedic. He has been a paramedic for 22 years and has earned Utah’s Supervising Fire Officer Designation as well as an associate’s degree in Wildland Fire Management and Emergency Services from Utah Valley University. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Emergency Services Management at UVU.

Chief Glasgow is vice chair of the board of directors for the American Red Cross of Central & Southern Utah. He has volunteered with Mapleton Recreation, the Boy Scouts of America and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He and his wife, Ashley, live in Mapleton with their two sons, Paul (7) and Steven (3).

Q: When did you start working for Mapleton?

A: We moved to Mapleton in early 2018 to raise our children in this amazing, family-friendly community. I was selected as the first full-time fire chief in Mapleton

in November of 2018.

Q: What is your favorite thing about Mapleton?

A: I love Mapleton’s “Small Town. Big Heart.” mindset. When we left California, we were looking for a place to live, work and raise our kids that has values consistent with ours. We found a match with Mapleton’s family values, the sense of service and community, and the amazing open space. We love being part of this community and raising our children here.

Q: What is one thing most people don’t know about you?

A: I worked for Sidney E. Frank as the assistant to the chairman of the board/private paramedic. Working for an active billionaire octogenarian was a life-changing experience. In addition to my medical responsibilities as his personal paramedic, I was also able to work closely with him on some of his philanthropy causes, including his $100 million donation for scholarships at Brown University; a science center dedicated to Alan Turing; and numerous projects dedicated to the inventor of the spitfire airplane, R.J. Mitchell. “Righting history’s wrongs” with Mr. Frank will always be some of th e greatest work I

have been fortunate to be part of.

Q: What advice do you have for Mapleton residents as they interact with your department in the community?

A: Our fire department was established in 1959. Since the beginning, our supportive mayors and city councils have continuously improved the Fire and EMS services we provide to our residents. Today, our Fire and EMS team is made up of full-time, parttime and volunteer members. We have a fire engine and ambulance staffed 24/7 in Mapleton. We honor the legacy of service provided by those who came before us, and we look optimistically to the future as we continue to progress and grow.

CITY GROWTH: INVESTING IN THE FUTURE OF MAPLETON

The word “growth” has become a buzzword in Mapleton, Utah County and the state of Utah. Consistent with trends around the state, Mapleton’s population is growing at a steady pace. The city’s population increased 5.5% in 2024, and the number of residential permits issued was nearly double that of 2023.

With more families choosing to call Mapleton home, Mapleton City leadership recognizes the need to proactively expand and improve infrastructure to support this growth while preserving our closeknit community. Through strategic planning and key investments, Mapleton is laying the foundation for a strong, well-connected future through the following actions.

UPGRADING ROADS AND SIDEWALKS

One of the most visible ways Mapleton City is preparing for growth is through ongoing road and sidewalk improvements. As new neighborhoods develop and traffic through town increases, maintaining safe and efficient transportation routes is a priority. The City’s Transportation Master Plan update will guide these efforts in coming years, focusing on roadway enhancements, sidewalk expansion and traffic safety improvements.

Last year, Mapleton’s Public Works Department secured grant funding to install 18 new ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps at key intersections around town, improving accessibility for all residents. Additionally, upcoming projects like the new sidewalk construction

along 300 West and on east Maple Street will provide safer walking routes for children traveling to and from school.

STRENGTHENING WATER AND SEWER SYSTEMS

Ensuring a reliable water supply is crucial as Mapleton grows. The recently completed Springs Redevelopment Project up Maple Canyon aimed to restore the old springs that were clogged from siltation and tree roots and put out of use. The project was not only successful in restoring the springs but it also uncovered additional spring veins that nearly doubled the expected water flow. The Springs Redevelopment Project was a critical step to enhancing the city’s drinking water supply to ensure long-term sustainability for both current and future residents. Additionally, Mapleton is finalizing its joint sewer treatment plant with Spanish Fork. The project is on track to be completed this summer and will provide a more efficient and cost-effective wastewater solution, reinforcing the city’s commitment to staying ahead of essential service needs.

EXPANDING DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE WITH MAPLETON FIBER

Another investment in Mapleton’s future is the rollout of Mapleton Fiber, the city’s high-speed fiber internet service. With more professionals working remotely and local businesses relying on digital tools, this service offers residents superior speeds and reliability paired with local customer service. Mapleton Fiber has already exceeded adoption projections, proving its value to residents and businesses. Mapleton City remains committed to providing the best service possible to residents, ensuring that Mapleton Fiber continues to benefit the community for years to come.

ENHANCING PARKS, RECREATION AND COMMUNITY SPACES

As Mapleton’s population grows, so does the demand for recreational opportunities and community gathering spaces. Participation in the city’s youth recreation programs increased 17.36% from 2023 to 2024, and attendance at city-sponsored

events is continually on the rise. In the 2024 election, Mapleton residents also voted to enact a RAP (recreation, arts, parks) tax to help fund additional parks, arts, recreation and trails opportunities in our community. This funding will allow the city to expand and improve its current offerings as well as meet the growing demand for additional services and amenities for residents to enjoy well into the future.

A THOUGHTFUL APPROACH TO GROWTH

Growth is inevitable, but Mapleton’s approach is focused on preserving what makes this community special while ensuring that infrastructure keeps pace with demand.

Through smart planning, responsible budgeting and strategic decision-making, the city is not only addressing today’s needs but also building

a strong foundation for future generations.

As we move forward, residents are encouraged to stay engaged, provide feedback and take part in shaping Mapleton’s future. Together, we can continue to grow in a way that reflects our shared values and ensures that Mapleton remains a “Small Town with a Big Heart” for years to come.

MAPLETON FIBER: CONNECTING OUR SMALL TOWN WITH THE WORLD

Mapleton’s small-town charm is now paired with big-city connectivity thanks to Mapleton Fiber. The original construction of this project is complete, and our fiber-optic internet service is now available across the entire city. Access to the internet is no longer viewed as a luxury but as a necessity. Mapleton Fiber is transforming the way local businesses, home-based entrepreneurs and remoter workers operate, providing with them the tools they need to thrive in today’s digital economy.

Mapleton Fiber offers symmetrical upload and download speeds, business server space and reliable service to help residents upload large files quickly, conduct seamless video meetings and operate cloudbased software without lags and interruptions. Local entrepreneurs can trust Mapleton Fiber to provide higher efficiency, productivity and ability to serve customers beyond city limits.

These benefits also extend to remote workers, where a fast and dependable internet connection has become a critical office tool.

The ability to work from home without interruptions allows professionals to maintain a better work-life balance while staying connected to global opportunities – all without having to leave Mapleton’s peaceful surroundings and close-knit community. Beyond business, Mapleton Fiber also strengthens community connections. The city’s commitment to top-tier customer service ensures that residents and businesses receive local support with a personal touch. Mapleton Fiber employees are known on a first-

name basis around town and many have local ties, so they literally are assisting their neighbors.

The overwhelming response from residents has been positive, with growing lists of households and businesses eager to sign up and more than 93% of connected residents reporting they would refer Mapleton Fiber’s internet service to a friend.

With a strong digital infrastructure in place, Mapleton City is better positioned to attract professionals, foster innovation and support local entrepreneurship. Whether you’re running a business, working remotely or simply enjoying the benefits of highspeed internet, Mapleton Fiber is connecting the heart of our small town with global opportunities. If you haven’t signed up yet, now is the time to experience the difference of locally managed, high-speed fiber internet. Visit https://mapleton-ut.gov/fiber to learn more about Mapleton Fiber, view the different service tiers and sign up for service.

MAPLETON PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE

In November 2022, Mapleton City launched the Public Safety Committee, which is led by Public Safety Director and Police Chief John Jackson. The committee’s mission is to empower citizens with the confidence and skills needed to face emergencies and disasters.

Operating as a volunteer extension of the Public Safety Department, the committee collaborates with public service organizations, religious groups and volunteers to enhance community preparedness.

The committee, chaired by Melanie Bott, includes a dedicated team of volunteers, including Donna Ferguson, Phillip Kleinman, David Bailey, Steve Hatchett, Jess Bourgeous, Ben Christensen, Courtney Jones, John Higgins and Richard Stringham. Mapleton City Council Member Jessica Egbert serves as the city council liaison, fostering seamless communication and collaboration.

Their focus is on providing education, training and resources to strengthen emergency response capabilities within the city. The committee also facilitates the Mapleton Citizen Emergency Response program and the Block Captain program as well as organizes training sessions for residents on emergency preparedness.

Quarterly training sessions equip citizens with essential skills. The first session, held in November 2023, focused on “Stop the Bleed,” offering hands-on training to help participants respond to bleeding emergencies. A subsequent session in February covered “Cyber Security: Tips For Online Safety and Spotting Scams” and was led by cybersecurity expert Steve

McCown.

Looking ahead, the committee will continue offering valuable training, with upcoming sessions including the “Great Shake Out” drill on April 17. They also encourage all residents to register for the city’s emergency alert system, which ensures timely notifications during emergencies. Though critical, only a small portion of citizens have enrolled so far. Signing up is quick and easy at

mapleton.org. They encourage all residents and businesses to register all phones to stay connected to the emergency system. Through these initiatives, the Public Safety Committee fosters a resilient and prepared community, ensuring that Mapleton is ready for any challenges ahead. Stay informed on future events via the city’s newsletter and social media channels.

QUICK QUACK OPENING IN MAPLETON

Quick Quack Car Wash is coming soon to Mapleton! The company is excited to open another Utah location this spring at 1493 S. Hwy. 89, Mapleton.

As part of the grand opening celebration, Quick Quack will host a fundraiser to benefit the Jensen family. Samantha is a single mother to a son battling congenital heart disease and cataracts and a daughter with hydrocephalus. She is constantly faced with the challenge of balancing their medical needs with full-time work.

The funds raised during this fundraiser will help this family with medical expenses and transportation costs. This will allow Samantha to focus on helping her kids and reduce the stress of ever-

growing bills. Funds raised during this event will be matched by Quick Quack (up to a predetermined amount) and given back to the family.

After the ribbon is cut at this new location, Quick Quack will kick off 12 days of free car washes. Keep an eye out for official dates coming soon.
