From The Publisher Fall is in the Air The other morning as Kaylene and I were taking a walk, she looked at me and said, “Can you smell that?” “Smell what?” I asked. “Fall,” she said. Yes, as usual, she is a lot more observant of things than I am. There was a hint of fall in the air. Fall has always been my favorite time of year. It was everything that a young boy growing up in Southern Utah could ask for; the start of football season, the World Series, and hunting, what else was there? That smell took me back to a simpler time in my life, a time where my entire universe extended from St. George on the south to Delta, Millard County on the north. At that time I figured that fall was everyone’s favorite time of year as well, because who could not like football, hunting, and baseball. For the deer hunt we got a day off from school (Monday after the deer hunt started), and the post office in town was even closed on that day. We would take a break from 5th grade math to listen to our teachers radio as Bob Gibson pitched the St. Louis Cardinals against the Boston Red Sox in the 1967 World Series. Hunting is just not the same as it was back then. Long before men took a radio to their garages to follow the game, designed their own “man-caves” or built home theaters with 65+” tv’s to watch football, we had hunting seasons. This was the one “family reunion” that ALL the men and boys gladly attended. The one time a year when everyone got together and enjoyed being together in the outdoors. In our family, it was mostly deer hunting as the pheasant hunt usually fell in the middle of the high school football playoffs, and with dad coaching that usually meant the pheasants were safe for another year.

their honor we are celebrating 100 years of automobile technology in this issue. From the Model T (the car that literally put America on wheels) in 1908, to the driverless vehicles of today and beyond. I am sure you will enjoy reliving the past and looking to the future with us as you peruse this section. Did you know that there were over 200 automobile manufactures in the early 1900’s? As I watched the SUU students and others “paint the town RED”, I realized how nice it was to have the students back. The University is a huge asset to our community and we are very lucky to have President Wyatt and his wife Kathy here. The leadership and vision that they bring to SUU coupled with their commitment to our great community is unparalled. In an effort to help bring the campus and the community even closer together, SUU will now be providing a cohesive section of their own in each issue of the magazine. I, for one, look forward to this as we learn about the many things that the University has to offer each of us and in turn, the ways that we can help make SUU better. I have found out that there is a lot more to fall than football, hunting and the World Series, and they have all just added to the reasons fall is my favorite time of year. So, don’t forget to attend the Western Heritage and Livestock Festival or any of the other events that fall brings, and it might just become your favorite time of year as well.

AUTOS It was the summer of 1983, and somewhere between spending a wonderful weekend with an old college friend in San Jose, and sitting in the Ford Motor Company assembly plant for a job interview (so we could write the trip off as a business search expense), our lives were changed forever. As my interview expanded from one to four executives and from 30 minutes to over six hours, I somehow went from, “we need the tax deduction and it was a great trip”, to “I can do this!” Maybe it was when I was walking down the assembly plant line and watching brand new Mustangs and F-150 pickups being driven off the end that my blood started to turn “blue” I don’t know, but our lives would soon change. My wife Kaylene’s first words to me when I was finished and we were hurrying to the airport was, “what happened?” My response was simply, “I don’t know. I think I may have accepted a job with Ford Motor Company.” The next few weeks were a blur, moving to San Jose to Detroit, then to Denver, and finally back to San Jose. Ford seemed to be having a hard time deciding where I fit best. At the time, every location seemed to be “A LONG WAY from Southern Utah and Home,” but it felt like the right thing to do. So we embarked on our first great adventure since graduating from SUU the year before, setting ourselves on a course that would add one more reason for fall to be my favorite season. That “new car smell” and looking forward to the manufacturer’s new models each year will forever be another signal of fall to me, just like leaves changing colors and football.

THEN & NOW By Randy Lovell

Though the automobile was invented years before, I thought it would be interesting to share the progress that has been made over the last 100 years. As I compiled the information for these articles, my mind would slip back to my time with Ford Motor Company. They were good days, for the most part - except for the many weeks over the years spent traveling away from home, and the fact that as we progressed in the company we were told that we would likely spend the rest of our career east of the Mississippi River. For those two reasons, we eventually chose to leave Michigan and Ford and return to Utah to raise our children. But still, they were good times. There were days when I would sit in my office in the original Ford Motor Company headquarters building and look down at the Rouge River plant and its 2,000 acres and I would wonder what it would have been like to have been there in the 1920’s; to be one of the 81,000 employees making not only cars but the steel, glass, tires, and other components that went into the two million cars made each year… a time when 9 out of 10 cars on the road were Fords – those were the glory days of Ford. If the walls of my office could have spoken, what stories would they have told me? Yes, they were good times! Does it sound like I am biased? Yes, perhaps a little bit. I still have some of that “blue” blood in me from those five plus years I spent working for the “blue oval.” I know that everyone has some sort of bias about automobiles, so please join me as we look at changes that the automotive industry has experienced over the last 100 years.

HISTORy By Cedar City Magazine Staff

• Over 40 million new cars roll off the world’s production lines each year. • There’s roughly one car for every ten people on the planet. • A quarter of the world’s cars are in America. • A typical American spends on average 18 days a year (72 minutes a day) behind the wheel of a car.

Workers on the first moving assembly line put together magnetos and flywheels for 1913 Ford autos in Highland Park, Michigan. 8 www.cedarcitymag.com

Automobiles have been around since as early as 1769, when the first steam engine powered automobiles were produced, but when German inventor Karl Benz filed a patent for a 4 HP gasoline powered “Motorwagon” in 1886 the age of the automobile had arrived. The Motorwagen was the first automobile that generated its own power and is considered to be the first “production” vehicle as several identical copies were produced. However, this innovation was mostly reserved for the rich as the 1893 Benz “Viktoria” had a price tag of nearly $80,000 in current US dollars and only 45 of them were sold. As car makers stuck with big, expensive cars, customers stuck with their horses and carts, but that all changed when a bold American engineer named Henry Ford came along with a new vision. Ford was no scientist, but he loved machines and HATED horses. When he was 14, he’d been thrown from the saddle of a colt, caught his foot in the stirrups, and was dragged home. It was time to even the score. Never afraid of rolling up his sleeves, he loved machinery and understood it instinctively. He’d been tinkering with machines since he was a boy. His first car was little more than a four-wheel motorbike that he called the Quadricycle, but when he took it on the streets of Detroit in 1896, horses bolted in all directions. He had a simple plan, he was determined to build a simple, reliable and affordable car (horseless carriage) that the average American worker could afford. It took him 12 years to get things right. In fact, he made eight different models before he finally came up with a winner, the Model T. It was first produced in 1908 at a cost of $825, around $1,200 less than most other cars, and after nearly 15 million Model T Fords were sold, a delighted (and very rich) Henry Ford scribbled in his notebook: “The horse is DONE”. In 1908, there were 253 active automobile manufacturers, producing a couple of hundred vehicles a year each, but by 1929 only 44 remained. Ford Motor Company had revolutionized the industry not only by producing an affordable automobile, but by mass producing that vehicle. The assembly line process was not new, it had been used in other smaller industries, but Ford, in 1913, was able to adapt the process in a way that would change America. Cars could now be assembled in just over 90 minutes per vehicle instead of 12 hours. Ford began producing the Model T on the assembly line in 1914, and that year there were more Ford’s produced than all other manufacturers combined. In 1916, 55% of the cars in the world were Model T Fords, which is still an unbroken record. From 1917 through 1923, Ford did not do any advertising, with 9 out of 10 cars being Fords, none was necessary. In 1916, the makers of moderately priced cars began to offer installment sales in order to compete. It was the installment sales of automobiles that established the purchasing of expensive consumer goods on credit as a middle-class habit and a mainstay of the American economy. To meet the challenge of a saturated market, General Motors introduced planned obsolescence and put a new emphasis on styling, exemplified in the largely cosmetic annual model change. Factories would be closed for a period of time in the summer, and the “NEW” model of each vehicle would be introduced to the public in the fall of each year. The goal was to convince customers to trade in and presumably up, to a more expensive new model long before the useful life of their present cars had ended. It was General Motors who in 1961, would lead the industry in the next quantum leap, when the first-ever car-making robot started building car bodies at their plant in Ewing, New Jersey. With today’s vehicles offering Wi-Fi, USB, GPS and other futuristic options, it is apparent that our love affair with the automobile is not over….just changing.

The automobile ended rural isolation and brought urban amenities — most important, better medical care and schools — to rural America (while paradoxically the farm tractor made the traditional family farm obsolete). The modern city with its surrounding industrial and residential suburbs, is a product of the automobile and trucking. The automobile changed the architecture of the typical American dwelling, altered the conception and composition of the urban neighborhood, and freed homemakers from the narrow confines of the home. No other historical force has so revolutionized the way Americans work, live, and play. The Reader’s Companion to American History. Eric Foner and John A. Garraty, Editors.

THE

LEADERS... Then & Now Model T By Daniel Vaughan The Model T was the automobile that mobilized the nation and transformed the way Americans lived and worked. The Model T made its debut in 1908, with a purchase price of $825. Over 10,000 were sold its first year. Ford’s new assembly line steadily reduced the cost of the Model T, and instead of pocketing the profits, Ford lowered the price of his car. As a result, Ford sold more cars, continuing the evolution of turning the automobile from a luxury toy to a mainstay of American society. By 1915, the price had dropped to $290 and one million cars were sold! At this point, Ford was claiming 48% of the automobile market share. The key to the success of the Model T was a combination of its rugged simplicity and the assembly line. Through the assembly line business model, Ford would, at its peak, produce a new Model T every 24 seconds. This not only revolutionized the auto industry, the assembly line revolutionized business in America. During its 20 years of production, the Model T underwent a few changes, but the basic car remained, such as the 176 cubic-inch, four-cylinder, 20 horsepower motor with a top speed of 45 mph. Sales peaked in 1924 with over two million automobiles leaving the assembly line. As many of Ford’s competitors began to catch up with automation, sales began to dip and Ford would eventually cease production of the Model T in 1927 after producing more than 15 million cars.

VW The Volkswagen Beetle. Revolutionary. Iconic. Every high school girl’s dream come true. When German auto-maker Dr. Ferdinard Porsche set out to design a simple car, a “Volks Wagen”, (which literally translates to ‘People’s Car’ in German), it went on to become the Volkswagen Beetle, selling over 21 million worldwide. The VW Beetle became one of the most popular cars of the 20th century. The first prototype in 1935 came equipped with a 700cc 4-cylinder engine, and produced 22.5 horsepower. Imagine the exhilaration of cruising down the small streets of the time in this innovative and utterly distinctive little buggy. The Beetle began with a production run of 20,000 vehicles in 1945, and continued until 2003 when the last Mexican-built Beetle rolled off the assembly line. If you think about it, that’s an awful lot of shoulders taking a punch to the tune of “Slug bug!” On February 17, 1972, the 15,007,034th Beetle would roll off the production line, becoming the most popular car of all time, breaking the record previously held by the Ford Model T. It’s not hard to see why. The VW Beetle was an efficient and stylish way to get from here to there, and during the revolutionary changes in the 1960’s and 1970’s became an icon amongst hippies and beyond. The first Beetles were sent to the United States in 1949, and continued until 1979 when competition from Japanese smallcar models like Honda and Nissan signaled the end of an era. But the Beetle would make a comeback in in 1998 with a sleek and posh new design that would cater to a new crowd. The Beetle remains popular and has become part of the cultural fabric in America. It will remain forever in our hearts as a symbol of freedom and fun – with the occasional bruise on the shoulder. Slug bug!

F-SERIES In 1948, Ford introduced the first F-Series trucks called the F-1 (half ton), F-2 (threequarter ton), or F-3 (Heavy Duty), based upon on a dedicated truck platform. These trucks were no-frills workhorses built for no-frills workers. The truck has since become the lifeblood of Ford Motor Company. It has also been transformed from a rugged backroads truck to a hard working but glitzy and luxurious status symbol in America. In 1978, the F-series became the best-selling vehicle (that’s right - not truck, but vehicle, which includes cars and trucks!) in America, a title it would hold for more than two decades. The F-series was eventually outsold by four small Japanese cars in 2008. 2015 marks the 38th consecutive year that the Ford F-series has been the best-selling truck in America, averaging 745,747 sales annually since 1998. In 2015, America’s best-selling pickup looks even more dolled-up and less middle-class than ever. Its new Limited model, Ford’s “most luxurious truck ever,” comes with heated-andcooled massaging leather seats. In truck-loving Texas, where drivers buy about 16 percent of all pickups sold in America, Ford’s high-end truck sales make up a quarter of the entire Lone Star state’s luxury-vehicle sales. Now there’s a legacy of loyalty and luxury! The Ford F-series is one mighty truck experience you won’t soon forget!

Six Figures MOMS MAKING IT HAPPEN AT HOME

Jennifer Becker with Company founder Heidi Bartolotta.

Jennifer Becker shares a story that many mom’s can easily relate to – “I worked hard to have a successful career, but after having children the corporate world was no longer appealing to me. The late hours, travel, and being away from my two young daughters was breaking my heart. I felt I was missing out on significant mile stones and no one could fill the role of “mommy” while I was away. I prayed for an option to replace my income yet have a flexible schedule, I started to give up hope and figured something like that simply didn’t exist for moms like me. Shortly after, I came across Mom’s Making Six Figures and I assumed maybe it was a support group for mom’s who had to work outside the home. I met with Founder Heidi Bartolotta and discovered Mom’s Making Six Figures is a marketing company that allows women to work from home and either replace or supplement their income, I left our meeting feeling like she was the answer I had been praying for! Reaching out and deciding to partner with Mom’s Making Six Figures has been one of the best decisions I have ever made,

Jennifer Becker with her two daughters.

SELF-DRIVING

REVOLUTION Driverless Cars are Inevitable By Cedar City Staff It’s only a matter of time and fully selfdriving cars will be available. Their effects on our society and could quite possibly change our whole way of life.

Cunningham, Manager of the Alexandria, VA.O branch of the Ford Motor Co., after a luncheon and conference with Presdient Roosevelt. 1938. Courtesy of the Library of Congress, 24508a.

Henry Ford was the founder of the Ford Motor Company and father of the modern assembly line used in mass production. His introduction of the Model T automobile revolutionized transportation and American industry. As sole owner of the Ford Company, he became one of the richest and best-known people in the world. He was born in Dearborn, Michigan, on July 30, 1863, and grew up on a farm but was more interested in mechanics, machinery, understanding how things worked than farming. As a young boy, he took apart everything he got his hands on. He constructed his first steam engine at the age of 15, and his first internal combustion engine, a small one cylinder gasoline model in 1893 on his kitchen table. In 1896, he completed his first automobile, the Quadricycle, and drives it through the streets of Detroit and realizes the potential of the “horseless carriage”. In 1901, the Henry Ford Company was organized with Henry as the chief engineer. His ideas for making the assembly process more efficient was considered “nutty” by others, so he left in 1902 and organized the Ford Motor Company. They shipped their first car on July 20, 1903, just one month after forming the company. With the company’s first sale came hope—a young Ford Motor Company had taken its first steps. Henry Ford’s insistence that the company’s future lay in the production of affordable cars for a mass market caused increasing friction between him and the other investors. In 1906, Henry Ford purchased the majority of stock leaving him in control and in charge of the direction of the company. After World War I, he purchased the remaining Ford stock so he could dispense with the board of directors entirely.

The Ford Assembly Line Ford realized he’d need a more efficient way to produce the car in order to lower the price. He and his team looked at other industries and found four principles that would further their goal: interchangeable parts, continuous flow, division of labor, and reducing wasted effort. Using interchangeable parts meant making the individual pieces of the car the same every time. The efficiencies to be gained were proven in the assembly of standardized photography equipment pioneered by George Eastman in 1892. To improve the flow of the work, it needed to be arranged so that as one task was finished, another began. Ford was inspired by the meat-packing houses of Chicago and a grain mill conveyor belt he had seen. He adopting the Chicago meatpackers overhead trolley to auto production by installing the first automatic conveyer belt. Then he divided the labor by breaking the assembly of the Model T into 84 distinct steps. Each worker was trained to do just one of these steps. Ford called in Frederick Winslow Taylor, the creator of “scientific management,” to do time and motion studies to determine the exact speed at which the work should proceed and the exact motions workers should use to accomplish their tasks. There by reducing wasted effort. Ford put these principles into play gradually over five years, fine-tuning and testing as he went along. In 1913, they came together in the first moving assembly line ever used for large-scale manufacturing and the production of the Model T leaped from 82,000 to 189,000. By 1923, Ford’s giant River Rouge factory was making 2 million cars a year. 14 www.cedarcitymag.com

In 1907, Henry Ford announced his goal for the Ford Motor Company: to create “a motor car for the great multitude.” At that time, automobiles were expensive, custom-made machines. He dreamed of a car which anyone could afford to buy, which anyone could drive anywhere, and which almost anyone could keep in repair. He still met resistance to his ideas for mass production of a car the average worker could afford. But he stuck to his goal and took the first step towards it by designing a simple, sturdy car. In 1908, he began production of the Model T. It was inexpensive for its day, sturdy, reliable, and easy to operate and quickly became very popular. Ford soon found he was unable to meet the enormous demand for his cars. By 1913, his plant incorporated the first moving assembly line and in early 1914, this innovation had greatly increased productivity. However, it had also resulted in a monthly labor turnover of 40 to 60 percent in his factory, largely because of the unpleasant monotony of assembly-line work and repeated increases in the production quotas assigned to workers. Ford met this difficulty by doubling the daily wage than standard in the industry, raising it from about $2.50 to $5. He was called “a traitor to his class” by other industrialists and professionals, but he held firm in believing that well-paid workers would put up with dull work, be loyal, and were potential consumers who would buy his cars. They soon proved him right by buying their own Model Ts. The net result was increased stability in his labor force and a substantial reduction in operating costs. These factors, coupled with the enormous increase in output made possible by new technological methods, led to an increase in company profits from $30 million in 1914 to $60 million in 1916. Instead of constant turnover of employees, the best mechanics in Detroit flocked to Ford, bringing in their human capital and expertise, raising productivity, and lowering training costs. Ford called it ‘wage motive.’ The company’s use of vertical integration also proved successful, as Ford built a gigantic industrial facility on the Rouge River in Dearborn, Michigan, that shipped in raw materials and shipped out finished automobiles. Perhaps Ford Motor Company’s single greatest contribution to automotive manufacturing was the moving assembly line. First implemented at the Highland Park plant (in Michigan, US) in 1913, the new technique allowed individual workers to stay in one place and perform the same task repeatedly on multiple vehicles that passed by them. The line proved tremendously efficient, helping the company far surpass the production levels of their competitors—and making the vehicles more affordable. Reference: http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventors/ford.htm#STORY:

River Rouge Facts • 93 separate buildings. • 81,000 people employed. • 120 miles of assembly line conveyors. • 100 miles of private railroad track and 16 trains. • Total size: 2000 acres (an area the size of 1500 American football fields). • 15,767,708 square feet of factory floors and 3500 mops used each month to keep them clean. • Total cost: $268,991,592.07—equivalent to about $ 2.3 billion today! Henry Ford’s idea was to achieve “a continuous, nonstop process from raw material to finished product, with no pause even for warehousing or storage.” The River Rouge complex was developed between 1917 and 1928, and was an automotive “ore to assembly” complex. By 1923, Ford’s giant River Rouge factory was making 2 million cars a year. Cedar City Magazine | October/November 2015 15

Celebrate Cedar City

By Kenzie Lundberg, Cedar City • Brian Head Tourism Bureau

Autumn in Cedar City offers an abundance of activities to celebrate and explore Cedar City’s heritage. From festivals to day trips, there is plenty to do before the weather turns cold (and plenty of options once it does). The first chance to learn more about Cedar City is the Cedar Livestock & Heritage Festival (October 23-25th). Whether you participate in the Cowboy Poetry, the Tractor Show, the Sheepdog Demo or the Vintage Car Show, it is sure to be a memorable event. The highlight of the weekend and one of the most unique days in Cedar City, is the Sheep Parade (Saturday at 10am). Join the crowd between 200 South and 400 North as they watch 1,000 local sheep make their way down Main Street. For more information on all events happening visit www.cedarlivestockfest.com. This fall there is a new festival in town! Featuring a full day of educational opportunities, the Western Freedom Festival (October 23rd) aims to celebrate Freedom, Family values, Enterprising Economy, and the Stewardship of Lands and Resources. The event will conclude with a concert by country music star Darryl Worley at the Centrum Arena. For a full schedule of conference presenters or to purchase concert tickets visit www.westernfreedomfestival.com. Next, join the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum for their annual Iron Mission Days event (November 7th). The day will include their famous hands-on-history style activities, crafts, and of course, fresh pressed Apple Cider. Leading up to the event, join us on Instagram (@ ScenicSouthernUtah) as the Frontier Homestead takes over our account and gives us a glimpse into the history of Iron County and Cedar City. (Details on how to join in on the fun below.) For more information on this and other events hosted by the Frontier Homestead State Park visit www.frontierhomestead.org or call (435) 586-9290. Last, but not least, is Cedar City’s Birthday (November 11th)! Details will be announced soon for the festivities (and where you can join in on eating the birthday cake). Throughout October and November we will be celebrating on Social Media with the Frontier Homestead State Park. To join in on the fun, tag photos #CedarCityCelebrates on Instagram and Twitter to share your view of Cedar City (past and present) and for a chance to be featured. Two Additional Locations for an Instant History Lesson Located inside the Iron County Visitor Center, the Daughters of Utah Pioneers Museum is a step back in time. With local experts at the front desk and a beautiful collection of local pioneer artifacts and information, this museum is the perfect place to learn about Cedar City. Admission is free. For more information on the Daughters of Utah Pioneers visit www.dupinternational.org. Old Iron Town, located about 20 miles west of Cedar City on Highway 56, tells the story of southern Utah’s mining industry and the founding of the area. When visiting the park, tour the ruins of the iron works and charcoal oven, or take a stroll along the nature trail. To make the most out of the visit, we recommend touring the Frontier Homestead State Park Museum first, to get the entire history. Old Iron Town is open all year, daylight hours only.

Dear Cedar Community, I want to thank you so much for rallying around SUU once again. As you know, we had a shortage of housing available for our students. This fall, we welcomed the largest first time freshman class in history. In addition to adding beds to our on-campus housing, we reached out to you, our neighbors. So many of you opened your homes and helped us get through the “housing crisis.” The excitement around campus is palatable and local stores are full of new and returning students buying goods. This freshman class is also the most prepared. Our incoming students have the highest grade point average and ACT scores ever. In athletics, we are thrilled to bring on Jason Butikofer as our new Athletic Director. We are so pleased that a man of Jason’s caliber has chosen to bring his experience and

skill set to our organization. He has a strong background at schools such as West Point, University of Minnesota and Arizona State. I am confident he will make us a dominant force in the NCAA Division One. Please join me on the sidelines and bring your family to cheer our Thunderbird teams. The partnership we have with the Iron County School District at Success Academy was recognized as Number One on Newsweek Magazine’s “Beating the Odds” list and Number 18 in Americas Top High Schools. We value our partnership will all our local schools and welcome everyone to our campus. Please come by the Welcome Center and pick up a free SUU t-shirt. Sincerely, President Scott L Wyatt

supportive academic advisors.” To accurately measure student opinion in its evaluations, The Princeton Review conducts an 80-questions survey, asking students to rate their personal experiences and quality of life earning their degree. T-Birds lauded the University for its student involvement and campus friendliness. The 125 colleges that The Princeton Review chose for its “Best in the West” 2016 list are located in fifteen states: Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. The Princeton Review also designated 225 colleges in the Northeast, 159 in the Midwest, and 140 in the Southeast as best in their locales on the company’s “2016 Best Colleges: Region by Region” lists. Collectively, the 649 colleges named “regional best(s)” constitute about 25 percent of the nation’s 2,968 four-year colleges.

survey for this project.” In fact, actual comments from the surveyed students pepper each Princeton Review college profile. Student comments quoted in SUU’s profile spoke to the University’s academic environment that focuses on professors who “are more concerned about students and his or her potential than the subject and thus will do everything possible to ensure student success.” According to The Princeton Review, colleges and universities are ultimately selected not by the size of their campus but for those universities that prove high academic excellence and offer outstanding undergraduate programs. SUU’s Jared Tippets, vice president of student affairs, said of this recognition, “Over the past year, SUU has spent a significant amount of time and resources to improve our educational experience for our undergraduates. We strive to create meaningful out-of-class learning experiences, provide world-class faculty to educate in the classroom, and surround our students with

In its just released collegiate survey, “2016 Best Colleges: Region by Region,” The Princeton Review identified Southern Utah University at the top tier of colleges and universities across the nation that it “considers academically outstanding and well worth consideration in your college search” by region. With this recognition, SUU has been named as one of the West’s best schools on the “Best in the West” listing, a national and prestigious ranking that is becoming an annual tradition for the University, in fact, for 10 years running. According to Robert Franek, The Princeton Review senior vice president of publishing, making this directory is very prestigious. He said, “Our 649 ‘regional best’ colleges are a select group, indeed. They constitute only 25 percent of the nation’s four-year colleges. From hundreds of institutions considered, we selected these schools primarily for their excellent academics. We also weighed what students attending the schools reported to us about their campus experiences on our student

Dan Hermansen

When Dan Hermansen (’12) took a career aptitude test during his senior year at SUU, he didn’t expect the results to be life changing. Focused on his studies in biology and illustration with plans to apply to physician’s assistant (PA) school, his career path was set. However, the top match on his career test results — medical illustration — intrigued him. It seemed medical illustration would be a great way to combine his artistic abilities with his passion for science and healthcare. Three years later, Hermansen is now studying at the prestigious Johns Hopkins University, one of only four graduate programs in the country for medical illustration. Hermansen was one of seven 20 www.cedarcitymag.com

people accepted into the program out of approximately 1,000 applicants. His thoughts on his new field: “Medical illustration is the perfect union of my interests.” After completing his master’s degree, Hermansen wants to participate in software design for medical education, specifically in virtual and augmented reality applications. “A lot of medical illustration is geared toward helping educate patients about what they are experiencing,” Hermansen explained. “These new technologies could eventually replace medical mannequins to give students the opportunity to work on a simulation of a

functioning human body.” Ultimately, Hermansen wants to provide this software to people that would not normally have access to it. “Education is the cure to so much of the world’s problems... this kind of technology could really transform underserved areas.” While the career aptitude test was the ultimate catalyst into his unexpected future, Hermansen credits his SUU professors for his successes. “The people I met and the relationships I formed have made all the difference,” he said. “Without the education I received at SUU, I would not be where I am today.”

Girls are socialized that science and math are “too hard” or “a boy’s profession” and lose confidence in their math and science abilities. By their teenage years, a mere 14 percent of teenage girls want to become scientists, and are statistically less likely to pursue STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) majors. Recently, 75 bright young women from throughout southern Utah proved these statistics wrong. Accompanied by their families and educators, female high school students gathered at Southern Utah University to celebrate their academic and technological achievements at the second annual National Center for Women in Information Technology (NCWIT) Aspirations in Computing Award ceremony.

Women will play a large role in meeting the demand. When these young women return to their hometowns, however, they may not have access to the all technology they hope to play a part in creating. A recent report released by the Federal Communications Commission shows that nearly 39

percent of people living in rural areas of Utah do not have access to high speed internet. Kesar said she was shocked to learn that statistic, which only increased her motivation to make sure these girls have positive experiences with technology inside and outside the classroom. “When I visit these high schools, I realize it isn’t just about computing, but more about enhancing their awareness of higher education and opening the doors of possibility in the field of science and technology,” she said. “As an educator, my goal is to build a connection with these girls and help them realize how important education is in the 21st century, especially if they can learn computing.” Kesar’s advice to girls is simple: think about education with an element of science or technology. “There is no denying the existence of a gender gap in STEM jobs. You have an incredible opportunity to make that change--so take advantage of it.”

Mannheim Steamroller Christmas On December 2, Mannheim Steamroller Christmas by Chip Davis makes its first-ever appearance in Southern Utah at 8 p.m. in the Centrum. “We are thrilled to have Mannheim Steamroller here for our Christmas show,” said Mindy Benson, Vice President for Alumni & Community Relations. “This concert will be a great way for our campus, alumni, and community to come together in celebration of the holiday season.” Since revolutionizing the sounds of Christmas in 1984, Chip has sold more than 28 million Christmas albums and now has two traveling troupes to meet the demands of his annual Christmas concert tour, now in its 27th year. Tickets may be purchased at the SUU Box office or by visiting www.tbirdtickets.com. Steve Lunt, professor emeritus of physical education, who has worked at the University for 50 years, has directed on-campus prep tournaments for more than two decades. “These tourneys do three things,” he says. “First, they expose high school students and their families to the University, thus serving as a powerful recruitment tool. Second, they energize the local economy as families stay in local motels, buy gas, eat in restaurants and otherwise shop.

Third, they provide great experience for our students here at ‘The Coaching Factory,’ so that they know how to organize such events.” Lunt will welcome 12 football teams for the state semi-finals tournament in 1A, 2A and 3A on November 6 and 7 in the Eccles Coliseum as part of a rotating schedule that next year will feature the championship games. Along with the teams, of course, come large entourages. The 3A boys and girls state basketball tournament will take place in the Centrum Arena February 25, 26, and 27. Sixteen teams will be in action, cheered on by students, families, and friends, while cheerleaders and drill teams—many with families in tow— will also accompany the teams. We invite you back to experience campus and take part in these funfilled events with us.

The world’s most famous vampire, a cigar-smoking man in a dress, and one of theatre’s most loveable mutts can all be found this fall at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Five of the Festival’s six summer shows will be closing the first week of September; but Charley’s Aunt will continue its summer run, along with two additional offerings, Dracula and The Two Gentlemen of Verona, through October 31. “The fall season is all about entertainment,” said David Ivers, coartistic director. “The three plays are full of spectacle, humor, and romance—in addition to gothic horror just in time for Halloween.” For instance, Dracula, which plays September 25 to October 31 (Halloween), will include spectacle and new technology in the Randall L. Jones Theatre. “Theatrical wizardry will be on display,” said Brian Vaughn, co-artistic director. “We will have projections, tricks, slight of hand, and magic.” Dracula is, of course, the world’s most famous story of the undead. Originally a novel by Bram Stoker, it has been reimagined for movies, the stage, and television (most recently Twilight and True Blood). The stage version the Festival is producing was written by Steven Dietz, the same playwright who penned Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure, which was so popular last year at the Festival. “We’ve been wanting to produce Dracula for a long time,” said Vaughn. “It is packed with theatricality, seduction, mystery, and blood.” 24 www.cedarcitymag.com

Spectacle,

HUMOR, AND ROMANCE

Dracula is directed by Jesse Berger, a Southern Utah University alumnus and now founding artistic director of Red Bull Theater in New York City and a sought-after director across the country. The mysterious Count Dracula will be played by Tyler Pierce who is currently stunning Festival audiences as Edgar in King Lear. While Dracula may be full of foreboding and dark seduction, Charley’s Aunt is a light, hilarious romantic comedy. The farce, written by Brandon Thomas and directed by David Ivers, has been a hit since it opened in June and will continue to entertain through October 31. Carol Cling, reviewing for the Las Vegas ReviewJournal called the Festival production “a welcome comedic romp” and “a most beguiling trip.” Barbara M. Bannon of the Salt Lake Tribune added “fresh,” “funny,” and “inspiring.” Charley’s Aunt is a farcical masquerade spotlighting two college chums who go to great lengths to woo a pair of charming young ladies, including persuading their wacky friend to pose as their matronly chaperone. “It is a romantic comedy with a twist,” said Ivers. “It is a story of young lovers trying to control their surroundings and circumstances, when everything seems to be working hilariously against them.” Shakespeare fills out the final spot in the fall lineup with a dizzying romantic adventure, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, playing September 24 to October 30. “The play is the story of two adolescent youths and the adolescent girls who love them,” said director Robynn Rodriguez in her notes to her artistic team. “The unattractive behavior, the moodiness, the lack of impulse control, and the volatility of emotions . . . are typical of people in the throes of adolescent purgatory.” Rodriguez has chosen to set the play in Italy just after the end of World War I. “The world is evolving in profound ways,” she said. “What a thrilling time it is to be young, bright, privileged, and ambitious. Our production takes place during

This Fall at the Utah Shakespeare Festival

this period of great change, as four young people take the first stumbling steps toward becoming gentlemen—and gentlewomen.” “People are going to love it,” said Ivers. “It is at heart a comedy, but also explores questions all teenagers face as they go through the first throes of love and the beginnings of growing up.” And, of course, there is the dog: Crab, the rarely obedient but always hilarious companion to Launce who is being played this year by Chris Mixon, who has appeared at the Festival many times in the past in such diverse plays as The Foreigner and ‘Art’. “The fall season is a great time to be at the Festival,” concluded Vaughn. “The plays are more intimate, the mountains around us are more beautiful, and the evenings are fantastically cool and inviting. We hope you’ll join us for these three outstanding plays.” Tickets are now on sale for the three fall plays, as well as for the plays currently being performed Monday through Saturday: The Taming of the Shrew, Henry IV Part Two, King Lear, South Pacific, Charley’s Aunt, and Amadeus.

Things I Want My (Ranch) Kids To Know Adapted from an article written by Rachel Larson

1. You have chores, because we love you. They are the building blocks for your future. Responsibility, accountability, and basic life skills begin with sweeping the floor, scrubbing the toilet, and feeding pets and livestock. We want you to find success in life. Success comes from preparation. 2. Boredom is a choice. Boredom is a choice, when your backyard is the whole outdoors, there are chores to be done, or books to be read. 3. There is magic in watching the sunrise. Early mornings are hard. The beauty you will witness with the awakening of the world is worth sleepy eyes and cold fingers. 4. A pet is more than a companion. Your cats, dogs, calves, and ponies are more than friends and playmates. They are lessons in empathy, responsibility, love, and letting go. 5. Grow your own food. Our world is increasingly rife with poor food choices, the easiest response to unhealthy options is to grow your own food, and it will cultivate an appreciation for fresh, whole food. 6. Be open to learning. In horsemanship and life, you will never know it all, never assume that you do. A humble open, attitude towards learning will lead to new skills and experiences. 7. Don’t judge, but if you do, judge them by their abilities, attitudes, actions not appearances. Words have the power to create divisiveness, do not use them to speak against yourself or gossip about others.

28 www.cedarcitymag.com

8. Stewardship. Dad and I choose to be responsible for landscapes and livestock. Sometimes that means ballgames are trumped by pasture rotations and dinner time is delayed, it does not mean we love you any less. Approach the world with a sense of respect and connectedness. 9. Fake it till you make it. You don’t have to be confident in everything you do, but taking a deep breath and acting like you are helps you get through it. Stand up straight and look the challenge in the eye, as you gain experience confidence will catch up with you. 10. That said, don’t mistake arrogance for confidence. No one likes a swaggering braggart, even if he is a competent swaggering braggart. There is honor in being unheralded, if you enjoy your work. 11. Low-stress is best... ...for you and for livestock. Don’t let it defeat your spirit and energy or impact your livestock’s health. 12. The only dumb question is the unasked question. Where is the gate? Which calf? Can you help me? Ask questions, clear communication helps prevent misunderstandings. 13. Always do your best. There are days when your best is better than others, recognize that. Avoid self-judgement, abuse, and regret and enjoy the process. 14. Do not let fear of pain or disappointment stand in the way of new experiences. What I regret most in my life are opportunities missed out of fear. Pain and disappointment are a part of living, learn to take them in stride and keep moving forward. 15. Be polite and kind. Enough said. 16. But, don’t be a pushover. Stand up for yourself. 17. Develop a sense of place. Wherever you may live, learn the names of plants, rocks, and animals, visit old homesteads (or neighborhoods) and educate yourself about Indigenous cultures. In doing so, you gain roots, a sense of belonging that will lend you stability in all that you do.

18. Break a sweat every day. Pound a steel post or take a jog, whatever you do, break a sweat daily. Your mind and body will thank you for it. 19. Be present. If you are mindful of the moment, it is easier to catch a mistake before it happens. It might surprise you, what you observe and what you achieve when you are fully in the moment. 20. Unplug. Leave the computer screen, TV, and cell

phones behind. Watch the chipmunks and rock dogs, read a book, or share a conversation with your family. 21. You do not have to maintain this lifestyle, but please appreciate it. I don’t expect you to grow up and follow in our footsteps, the long hours and low pay aren’t for everyone. Carry these early horseback mornings in your heart.

Medicine

By Emily Fonnesbeck, RD, CD, CLT & Staff I truly believe that food is medicine. Nowhere is that more evident than with LEAP food sensitivity testing. Several places in town emphasize the need to use food as medicine. I went to check out Dixie Nutrition’s location on St. George Boulevard to understand more about the assistance they can offer those dealing with food sensitivities. As a Certified LEAP Therapist, I am trained to identify food and food chemical hypersensitivities. The Lifestyle Eating and Performance (LEAP) program is a diet for those suffering from delayed food and food chemical sensitivities. These sensitivities can result in an immune system reaction with the release of mediators 32 www.cedarcitymag.com

which cause pain and inflammation in the body. The immune system has a first line of defense in which it identifies “self ” and “nonself.” This is beneficial for protecting us from unwanted bacteria and viruses. However, if the immune system decides that a food or chemical is dangerous and should be destroyed, the result is the release of mediators, which cause inflammation and pain. This is how food sensitivities develop. Greg Gillespie of Dixie Nutrition explained, “One of the most common customers we help are those dealing with food sensitivities. It is more common than people realize.” Many chronic conditions can be made worse by food sensitivities.

In particular, individuals suffering from autoimmune diseases (Type 1 Diabetes, Addison’s disease, Lupus, Asthma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Celiac Disease, Hashimoto’s Disease, MS, etc.) may find relief from their symptoms. But many chronic conditions can be made worse by food sensitivities. Examples include but are not limited to: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease and heartburn, Fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatigue or general malaise, restlessness, irritability, depression, anxiety and mood swings, muscle or joint pain, aching or stiffness, Chronic Sinusitis or sinus pain, runny nose, stuffy nose, post nasal drip, Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Eczema, Dermatitis, Psoriasis and other skin rashes, Obesity and weight imbalances, Thyroid disorders, and PCOS and related infertility issues. Everyone would benefit from avoiding their reactive foods. However, finding these foods on their own can be confusing and overwhelming. Often food sensitivities are delayed; meaning symptoms may occur up to 3-4 days after eating the food. To compound the issue, food triggers and their symptoms are different for everyone. Greg at Dixie Nutrition sees the struggles firsthand. “There are many families that feel the stress of figuring out what to do. I mean, we eat every day. This is on their mind daily.” I use the Mediator Release Test (MRT) which allows me to find those trigger foods for my clients. MRT is a functional live cell analysis that identifies foods and chemicals which provoke the release of mediators that cause pain and inflammation. A blinded

peer reviewed scientific study showed MRT to have the highest level of accuracy of any food sensitivity blood test: 94.5% sensitivity and 91.8% specificity. The MRT test takes your blood and checks your immune system response (or non-response) to 150 foods and chemicals. The results of the MRT test measures the degree of inflammation therefore classifying foods as reactive or non reactive. It is important to find a place that offers foods and supplements that are tailored for food sensitivities. There are a number of places in town that offer products that will work with a food sensitivity diet. It is important to find a place that offers quality products and resources. Obviously my clients need businesses they can trust in order to stock their kitchen with allergen free foods and recommended supplements. As mentioned, I spent some time at Dixie Nutrition’s St. George Boulevard location. I am particularly impressed with their variety of reasonably priced but good quality supplements and their “gluten free” aisle. In addition, they have several aisles dedicated to various dietary needs (i.e., sugar free, organic, low fat, low salt, etc.). Clearly they understand my client population and their need to avoid cross-contamination. LEAP testing is the most rewarding work I do. This program gives people their life back. It’s amazing what can be treated with “just food”! For more information about LEAP testing, visit www.wholefitstgeorge. com or call 435-319-0917.

Back Surgery Restores Hope For The Future By David Green

As a 30-something-year-old, Leigh Davis was done with back pain. An otherwise very healthy, active woman, Leigh had suffered for years with back spasms that would last a week or two. Then in 2010 while riding a stationary ‘spin’ bicycle, she felt something go wrong with her back. She struggled off the bicycle but wasn’t able to get back on. That began a multi-year routine of physical therapy, massage therapy, sports medicine, point blocks, and the daily consumption of anti-inflammatory medications. Nothing made a difference. “I had a hard time sleeping because I couldn’t lie flat,” said Leigh. “I used heat and ice to temper the pain. Standing for long periods was hard and I would grunt getting out of a chair.” If she walked for a long period of time, Leigh would be immobile the next day. She loves baking, but making a cake was a three- to four-day process followed by a day of recovery. “I had the back of a 70-year-old,” said Leigh. “I did Pilates to stave off surgery, but I got to the point that I couldn’t exercise because of pain.” Surgery was the solution. Leigh finally realized she would need surgical help to relieve her suffering and in 2014 she moved to southern Utah to be closer to family support. She sought out a surgeon and was referred to Dr. Mark Stouffer, an orthopedic spine surgeon with Intermountain Southern Utah Neurosciences Institute, a practice based in St. George. Dr. Stouffer and two of his partners—Dr. Berkley Bate, neurosurgeon, and Dr. Michael Major, orthopedic surgeon— also have an office at Cedar City’s Intermountain Valley View Medical Center. “We talked about my options and the things I wanted to do,” remembered Leigh. “Dr. Stouffer was very nice and wanted to make sure we were doing what I wanted. He took time to make sure I knew the risks and complications that could occur as a result of surgery.” Eventually, Dr. Stouffer and Leigh concluded she would need a fusion in the lumbar (lower) spine. Disc replacement, the latest procedure using leading-edge technology, can be a good alternative for some patients, but in Leigh’s condition that was not a viable option. “Some people are good candidates for that, some are not,” said Dr. Stouffer, who explains that he is careful about who he recommends for surgery. “I’m much more conservative in my approach and look at surgery as a last resort,” he said. “We maximize other options and work to help patients improve without it, but if we’re not able to do so, we move on to surgery.” Leigh’s surgery was scheduled for April at Valley View Medical Center. The first time she had been through major surgery, Leigh was anxious about the procedure but was pleased with the immediate results she experienced. “When I woke up from surgery, I was on pain meds,” said Leigh, “but the first thing I noticed was that I wasn’t having back pain. I had incision pain, but it was different from what I was used to.” Worst days behind her. Nearly five months later, Leigh said that her worst days now are better than her best days before surgery. “I was expecting a 10 percent improvement and would have been excited with that,” said Leigh. “Most days I feel 70 to 80 percent better. I haven’t taken a real pain pill since July 30!” Today, Leigh sleeps in bed without her knees propped, she gets out of her chair without grunting, and people tell her they can see the relief in her face. Over Labor Day she even hiked to Mossy Cave in Bryce Canyon, her first up-hill hike in years. “I have an excitement for the future,” said Leigh. “I couldn’t be happier.”

Four tips for good spine health The physicians at Intermountain Southern Utah Neurosciences Institute offer these tips for keeping your spine healthy: 1. Use proper body mechanics: bend, lift and twist properly to minimize back stress. 2. Exercise daily to decrease the amount of stress your back experiences. 3. Include back exercises in your regimen (such as yoga or Pilates) to strengthen your core. 4. Maintain good posture. Sit and stand tall; avoid slouching. 38 www.cedarcitymag.com

Sleep Apnea By Cedar City Magazine and Melinda Rogers of KSL.COM

At least 40 million Americans each year suffer from chronic, long-term sleep disorders, and another 20 million more experience occasional sleeping problems each year. According to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, an estimated 18 million Americans have sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is unpleasant enough on its own, but it can lead to serious illness and injury “such as serious car wrecks, heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications,” according to WebMD. And the numbers here are equally unnerving: “Having sleep apnea for four or five years raises a person’s risk of having a heart attack or dying by 30 percent.” The condition is more likely in patients who are older, overweight, smoke, have a large neck or have a family history of the condition. But sleep apnea isn’t only limited to older men. Women also suffer from the disorder, and are less likely to make an appointment. Bryce Williams, M.D., an oral and maxillofacial surgeon at University of Utah Health Care, sees hundreds of patients for sleep disorders every year answers the following questions. Q: What are the characteristics of sleep apnea? A: Sleep apnea is characterized by a number of involuntary breathing pauses or “apneic events” during a single night’s sleep. Five events per hour are typical but severe cases may have 30 or more events per hour. For anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute or more, the person will actually stop breathing, lowering bloodoxygen levels and straining the heart. This can happen hundreds of times throughout the night. Others who suffer from sleep apnea never complete a full sleep cycle. Without reaching the last stage, known as rapid eye movement or REM, the body can’t fully regenerate and rejuvenate. REM sleep allows the body necessary recovery time needed for daytime function. These frequent interruptions of deep sleep, often lead to early morning headaches, slowed thinking and poor attention, and excessive daytime sleepiness. 40 www.cedarcitymag.com

Q: What are the causes of sleep apnea? A: Certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway cause the interruptions in breathing during sleep. Apnea occurs when the throat muscles and tongue relax during sleep and partially block the opening of the airway; when these muscles relax and sag, the airway becomes blocked, making breathing labored and noisy and even stopping it altogether. Q: What are the most common mistakes patients make when it comes to sleep apnea? A: I think the most common mistake is that patients wait too long to be diagnosed. There are several treatment options for sleep apnea, both nonsurgical and surgical. Q: How is sleep apnea diagnosed? A: Diagnosis starting with a visit to your physician. A primary care physician can diagnosis sleep apnea as well as specially trained sleep medicine professionals. Q: What are the treatment options? A: Treatment starts conservatively. CPAP treatment helps deliver oxygen at a higher pressure to prevent the airway collapsing at night and involves wearing a mask attached to a machine the size of a shoebox that can be placed next to the bed. Up to 40 percent of patients cannot tolerate this machine and they may be candidates for a dental device that is worn at night which helps open the airway. Patients that cannot tolerate these conservative measures may opt for surgery. Q: There are many options for treatment providers when it comes to sleep apnea. How does a patient know where to start? A: Ear nose and throat (ENT) surgeons, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, dentists, pulmonologists psychologists, psychiatrists and sleep medicine physicians all work to obtain an accurate diagnosis and formulate a treatment with the patient that is effective and comfortable for the patient.

Understanding Heel Pain

Specialist Brad Webb explains common causes of heel pain and offers non-evasive treatment options to live pain free By Brad Webb, DPM Chances are you or someone you know has experienced heel pain. It is one of the most common problems I see from my patients on a regular basis. In fact, a national study found that approximately 10 percent of the population of the United States has experienced bouts of heel pain. There are truly many causes of heel pain, but by far the most common is a condition called plantar fasciitis. Plantar fasciitis is when the plantar fascia, a thick band of connective tissue that runs from the bottom of the heel bone to the bottom of the forefoot, becomes inflamed and painful. The major function of the plantar fascia is to provide arch support. Many patients ask me what causes the plantar fascia to become inflamed. The answer is repetitive stress on the foot. This can be due to running and other sporting activities or by a sudden increase in the amount of time one spends on his/her feet, such as when

starting a new job where a lot of walking or standing is necessary. Another common cause of stress on the plantar fascia is wearing non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces. Many times patients who come in with plantar fasciitis have been wearing flip flops or old tennis shoes for the past several weeks. The most common symptom of plantar fasciitis is pain in the bottom of the heel with the first steps in the morning, which diminishes after taking a few steps, and then renewed pain with the first few steps when getting up from a sitting position. My patients often relate that as the condition worsens, the pain can be present anytime they are walking. When I examine these patients, they often have tenderness localized to the bottom inside portion of the heel. Another contributing factor I’ve observed in my patients with plantar fasciitis is that they also have tight calf muscles, which cause them to place more pressure on the heel and surrounding structures in the foot when they walk. Before seeking medical attention for this problem, I recommend that people try some easy, first-line treatments which can be done at home, including applying ice to the heel for 20 minutes, two to three times per day; changing to shoes with proper arch support, such as New Balance or Asics running shoes; and taking oral, antiinflammatory medications, such as Aleve or ibuprofen, on a regular basis for seven to 10 days. If these fail to alleviate the problem then I highly recommend that those suffering from heel pain seek treatment from a foot and ankle specialist. In my office, I work with the patient to provide effective treatments, including the injection of cortisone around the plantar fascia, supportive inserts for the foot, specialized stretching exercises for the calf and plantar fascia, and taping of the foot. All of these treatments have been clinically proven to treat plantar fasciitis, and I have personally found these treatments to be effective 80 to 90 percent of the time. There are occasions, however, when the plantar fascia has become so chronically inflamed that surgery is necessary to treat the problem. The take home message that I would like people to remember is that heel pain caused by plantar fasciitis or any other condition can usually be effectively treated by a foot and ankle specialist. Please don’t delay treatment as many conditions that cause heel pain can be more difficult to treat if left untreated over time. The old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” is especially true in this instance.

Business Planning:

An Ounce of Prevention

44 www.cedarcitymag.com

By Curtis Jensen We all know the old saying: “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” Whether you are starting a new business, or already own a successful business, a lawyer can help you carefully tailor a business plan and practice that will prevent those unexpected and undesirable consequences or costly claims from arising in the future. Documentation: Every business owner should recognize the benefit in hiring a competent professional to review their business plan and operations. Documents such as leases, loan agreements, commercial contracts and related documentation used in daily business activities all contain fine print, technical terms, legalese, and commercial references that may initially appear inconsequential, but could lead to additional obligations or expenses for businesses. Business owners should also take advantage of implementing additional protections and cost mitigation factors by reviewing and modifying, when necessary, existing business documentation, operations and practices. Always be cautious in using free online forms. In many instances these forms may not be appropriate or applicable to your specific business operations, thereby resulting in unwanted or unintended consequences. Business Formation and Formalities: Many small business owners fail to recognize the importance of hiring a competent professional in setting up their business and implementing business formalities. An assessment of your business plan and operations could save you hours of headache, expenses, and can also insulate your business from future disputes or unnecessary claims. “What if?” Scenarios: An attorney can help a business owner explore many “What If?” scenarios that could arise in future operations. Issues always surface when it comes time to buy out an existing partner or owner, whether your business is aware of new laws and regulations and complying with the same, personality differences that arise over time, the constant need to safeguard and protect your investment interest, expansion, real estate and property acquisitions, exit strategies for retiring partners or shareholders, or that unexpected illness, death or incapacitation of a key employee or owner. Sound business planning can provide security, peace of mind and further protection. Services & Product Sales: When providing services or products to consumers, it’s important that your business remains in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and sound business practices. In the ever-changing and evolving construction industry, real estate, taxes, technology, medical services, and point of sale commercial businesses, simple practices and procedures should always be adopted and implemented to protect your investment and business while assuring that operations are being conducted in a very prudent and proficient manner. Customers: In this digital age a consumer can acquire an abundance of information about your product or service by simply spending a few minutes in front of a computer. Protecting your business proprietary interest and consumer confidential information is paramount in today’s global market and technology. Make sure you are safeguarding all of your business proprietary interest and

confidential information that is vital to your practice and operations. Businesses and business owners must be willing to adapt and change with the advancing technology thereby maintaining an edge in today’s competitive markets. Consequently, such technology changes can create additional issues and concerns for your business and the requirement to be more proactive in implementing safeguards, preventive measures, and ensuring your business operations, especially your contracts and practices, are up to date, thereby providing you the maximum protection. Instead of waiting until conflicts arise, act now as a prudent business owner to recognize the benefit in meeting with a lawyer or professional to implement preventive measures in your business to help avoid the high costs, expenses, and emotional strain associated with the cure.

Be Still My Heart

Believing that “Beyond mediocrity dreams are found” Jeffrey T. Sherman, Principal of ShermanSpeaks LLC, is a motivational speaker and executive coach. He utilizes CORE™ to drive companies and individuals to the next level.

By Jeff Sherman, CEO ShermanSpeaks, LLC Being fitted for a horseback adventure, I saw from a distance a spirited filly with dark eyes and a thick black mane. I had a feeling that this would be the one. You may have felt this way about a business opportunity, a scholastic proposition, or a career choice. She was strong. Bold. Moments later I was being instructed that she would be fun to ride but a bit complicated and challenging. Like many challenges we face, I found that to be an understatement. I have enjoyed riding horses from time to time throughout my life. I once swam a horse in the Weber River on a hot summer day as a kid. I have been around horses on hunting excursions, mountain trips, and family vacations to Jackson Hole. My grandfather loved horses. Often, horses were a subject of our conversations. Grandpa had saddles and tack in his garage and a two-horse tandem axel trailer in the drive. He was the kind of man that wore a cowboy belt and had a photo of a trophy horse on his desk at work. He was a character. Once, during a grouse hunt, he told me to jump on and ride a cow that had been grazing on a mountainside pasture. I made the attempt. Gramps laughed long and hard at that one. I had dirt in my mouth and my body was bruised. Almost as much as my young ego. With the filly standing nearby, the outfitter asked if I was confident with horses. I assured him that although I was born and raised in the city, and had only occasionally ridden horses, I was confident. Besides, we were being led by a guide. What could go wrong? As the trip ventured along a lazy river and the leaves rustled in the breeze I was content that the spirited filly was very obedient and well trained. For the most part, she was keeping her place in the lineup. She occasionally sped up and bumped the horse in front of her. She did try to leave the trail and speed ahead a few times. It was as if she wanted to be the lead horse. But what horse doesn’t? Each time she went rogue, I would calmly pull on her reins and redirect her back to where the rigger had placed her. Soon, I would learn that she didn’t really care to be told what to do and what not to do. She had a threshold of tolerance, a will of her own. The kind that keeps a rider alert. After hours of working with her and enjoying the beauty of 46 www.cedarcitymag.com

the ride, we began circling into the pasture where the trek had originated. My confident filly began acting very spooked. I looked around and discovered a large male horse thundering across the field toward her. He was free roaming about 200 yards away not carrying a rider. She began to rear up. Controllably at first. I stroked her neck and spoke calmly to her. I leaned forward in my saddle each time she arose. She stayed in line. As the male approached our group, the lead guide shouted out to me warning me of apparent danger. “He’s going to strike her!” he exclaimed. What happened next was taken from an old western movie. The male ran smack into her, chest first and about knocked us over. Had she not darted just prior to contact he could have hurt us both. Wisely, instinctively, she bolted out into the open field at a full stride. I had never ridden a horse at this speed. I could barely hold on. At first I was laughing and enjoying the thrill. As I began pulling back on the reins and speaking out to her I saw the barbwire fence. She picked up speed. Fear entered my soul. I began losing grip. I was about to fall off. I grasped her shiny mane with both hands and buried my face in her neck leaning into her. If she turns toward that fence, I thought, she will hurt us both or worse. She turned. In an instant all activity slowed and I seemed to have a heightened awareness of the danger of my plot. I could hear riders rustling to my aid. I could hear loud unrecognizable shouting. I could see dust flying. I had clouded vision. My neck whipped and my back lunged forward. Then a deep, instant quiet. Be still my heart. I was safe. The filly was unharmed. She too had seen the fence. She had dropped her hind quarters, locked her legs, and come to a rumbling abrupt stop just inches from the fence. I rolled off and tumbled in the dust. My mouth full of dirt. My body bruised. She stayed with me. I rose to my feet. I spoke calmly to her. She was bold, spirited. She was complicated. In life and in horses, be confident in the rider. Many times we fear the worst. Many times we see the dangers. Keep distractions to a minimum. Sometimes, just hold fast and ride it out. Trust.
