Editor’s Letter

Celebrating abilities.

I have a friend named Jordan.

Jordan is 8 years old with a wisp of blonde hair spiked like a Kewpie doll and pale skin with a smattering of caramel-colored freckles across the bridge of his nose. He has limbs like cooked spaghetti—thin and jumbled from the nonstop energy that comes simply from being his age. He is a kid on the go! A kid with plans! (Watch out world!)

On one particular Sunday last winter, the stars aligned and my birthday coincided with getting to stand in front of a room full of singing kids while a piano played a rendition of a happy birthday song and I wore some silly birthday hats—several of them— crowded jauntily on my head, just how the kids wanted.

I was sung to with gusto, and all the kids were adorable, sweet and loud, and that was that.

Or so I thought.

As I walked from the front of the room to the back, I could see a whirlwind of limbs and bow tie and candy-colored pants in my periphery.

It was my friend Jordan—all dapper in his Sunday best—running straight towards me. He threw his arms around my waist and locked his eyes straight onto mine while I hugged him back and he wished me a singular, lovely happy birthday.

This was no half-hearted gesture. It was full of everything he had in that moment, and it was earnest and pure.

Did I mention that Jordan has Down Syndrome? That most of the things he does are full of heart and earnest and pure?

And I’m learning that this may be the case of those with special needs. That more than having special needs, they have special abilities to enrich our lives and community in ways that would be lacking without them. Even if that special ability is to just make me feel like a million bucks. (Thanks, Jordan!)

As this season comes into its own and the temperature drops and Corner Canyon starts to don her yellow, orange and red coat, enjoy it and all it entails—pumpkins, haunts, hunts, harvests, pie, family, a few great meals… And know that if you need a head start on any of it, you can find it all here, in these pages.

CORNER CANYON STUDENT SPARKLES AT NATIONAL TEEN VIDEO AWARDS A star is born in the home of the Chargers. In August, Anna Richey, a student at Corner Canyon High School, received the Best Director Award at the 2015 NO BULL Teen Video Awards for her video, “Broken.” The awards, at YouTube Space in Los Angeles, sparkled with stars from television, movies and social media.

Founded in 2011, the “Great American No Bull Challenge” asks American youth ages 13 to 23 to address the issue of bullying in schools by creating and producing positive messages in short video documentaries, music videos, public service announcements and Vines. The aim of the video contest and award ceremony, according to organizers, was to encourage students to create anti-bullying messages through filmmaking, leadership and social media.

COME VISIT IN OCTOBER FOR A CLASSICALLY SCARY GOOD TIME. ARTICLE KELLY ERICKSON | PHOTOGRAPHY CHUCK WACHS AND KELLY ERICKSON

Herzog Hollow is becoming a new Draper tradition in the month of October. On the corner of Fort Street and 13200 South, the unassuming 100-year-old white house is transformed every year into a spooky, Halloween spectacle that brings joy and creepy fun to Draper residents. Ryan and Juli Herzog are Halloween fanatics that truly enjoy making Halloween extra special and every year the Herzog Hollow gets more elaborately ghoulish and adorably terrifying for kids of all ages.

The Herzog’s are recent transplants to Draper when they moved here in 2011 from Seattle, Washington. Ryan has always had a desire to express his creativity in a macabre sort of way. He has an unusual obsession with the Grim Reaper and all things Halloween. Juli has learned to love Halloween over the years and has truly embraced the spirit of the holiday as the Herzog Hollow grows in popularity and eerie artistic expression.

Juli just loves to get trick-or-treaters and was discouraged to find out that very few trick-or-treaters came around the neighborhood. However, Juli had to go to the grocery store three or four times to replenish their candy supply the very first year they put on their Halloween display. This is probably why Juli now embraces the holiday.

The front of the house is an enclosed cemetery with a prodigious number of gravestones and cornstalks. They erect a temporary wrought-iron gate and cement pillar entrance on 132nd South that invites visitors in to the elaborate Halloween exhibition. Besides one of the animatronic pieces, every decoration is handmade by Ryan or modified from storebought supplies. With the help of his two teenage sons, Alex and Hunter, Ryan spends many months conceptualizing and creating original facades to add to the Halloween collection, and then shares it with the entire community. It is wonderful bonding time with his boys and a big reason why he does it.

This level of commitment has paid off for Ryan. In 2012 he was the winner of the International Dead with Dave Home Haunters award for Best Static Prop for his cemetery gate pillars. Since winning the award, which is sort of like an Oscar, but aptly shaped like a headstone, he is now a judge for the competition and gets to see and choose the best of the best from around the world. Typically wearing some kind of Halloween t-shirt, this holiday is no joke for Ryan.

“It just keeps growing. We get feedback from the kids and it just kind of escalated and now I am expected to have something new every year,” Ryan explains.

One of the kids that was a regular visitor to Herzog Hollow in 2014 was 5 year-old Ethan Shoemaker. His mom or dad would take him by the house every night, although they only stopped to visit about 10 times.

“There’s always new scary guys and now there’s one that’s named Creepy now. I went millions of time. It’s the scary house,” he exclaims. Ethan especially liked the over-sized pumpkin scarecrow that sits prominently on the corner of the house. He named it Banjik, and the name has stuck. Juli notes, “He was so cute, he made it worth it.”

It is undoubtedly a scary house. “Halloween is not about the cute stuff. It’s all about the scare. We stay away from the gore. No gore whatsoever. We like the classic scare stuff,” Ryan notes. The decorations and facades are enhanced by extensive lighting and loud, Halloween music that help to create the classic scare ambience. The Herzog’s also make sure to dress the part and usually come up with something classically scary to make it even more fun. In the past, they have been an undertaker couple, zombies, or the Grim Reaper and a doll from the movie Saw, all of which fit perfectly with the ominous decorations Ryan creates.

This year Ryan is working on a mausoleum to go on the side of the house. He has big plans for the Hollow. “We are wanting to get it so that you come in through the main entrance and then walk through a mausoleum and a catacomb,” he adds. Now, instead of a few trick-or-treaters, the Herzog’s get at least 300-400. They love to have everybody come, although they are a bit concerned about having enough candy for everyone. It is a hobby and a labor of love, and definitely not a money maker.

As the Herzog Hollow continues to grow, the corner of Fort Street and 132nd South is turning into a charmingly spooky addition to our community.

An Ultimate Alaskan Hunting Trip THIS TEENAGER IS TAKING ON THE LAST FRONTIER IN CELEBRATION OF TAKING ON AND DEFEATING CANCER

O

n the day after Christmas 2014, the Adams family gathered around the telephone anxiously anticipating the dreaded call from the doctor. The atmosphere was understandably tense. Bruce and Lynette Adams and their six children were waiting to hear the news. Did their youngest child Jake have cancer? When the call finally came, it was not good: stage three Hodgkins Lymphoma. It is not the kind of news any parent wants to hear and it rendered the Adams family speechless for a good amount of time.

Then, slicing through the mournful, disquieting atmosphere, Jake’s older brother Dan proclaimed, “If Make-a-Wish comes to you, tell them you want to take all of your brothers on a moose hunt to Alaska!”

Jake didn't go on a moose hunt and he couldn't take all of his brothers, but Jake and his dad, Bruce Adams, went to Alaska for an ultimate hunting expedition, thanks in large part to a desperately-needed, humorous moment from a loving big brother.

One week following the dreaded call from the doctor, Adams was a regular visitor to Primary Children’s oncology department. He would endure four rounds of chemotherapy and two weeks of radiation treatment to defeat the cancer that was raging in his body. There were lumps on his neck, down his spine and in his abdomen. He would

14

Draper Lifestyle | October 2015

spend countless hours at the hospital being a cancer patient. Jake, who is a soft-spoken 17 year old with wavy light brown Sampson hair, lost it all, including his eyebrows, after the end of his first round of chemotherapy. Although his mom Lynette, who is definitely not a fan of cancer, wasn’t too sad about the hair loss.

Before cancer and treatments and hair loss, Jake was an ordinary high school kid doing the things he loves to do: football, lacrosse, hanging out with friends. Then when he was a sophomore, he started to get sick a lot, whether it was pneumonia, lethargy, or a chronic cough. Adams plays varsity football and lacrosse for Alta High School. During games, he would come off of the field coughing on a regular basis. Jake started as a lineman and was a valuable player for his team. His coach Deven Coggins described him as an undersized offensive linemen.

“But I would put him in against anybody," Coggins says. "One of the best offensive linemen I have ever coached, not just by his technique, but his heart. I trust him to play against any player.”

As soon as Alta’s head coach Robert Stephens heard the news, all of the linemen and coaches went over to his house immediately. According to Coggins, his offensive line coach, “Jake was in good spirits, not much concern that I got from him. It was just another obstacle that

he was going to deal with. As far as heart and strength, when I think of players who have played for me, he is right there at the top of the list.”

Adams had played his entire junior year as a starter, and unknowingly played with cancer. As Coach Coggins wisely observed, “I don’t think too many other players can give me any excuses from this point on, when it comes to playing. I’ll just give them the Jake Adams story and that will end it.” This kid also took his ACT examination while doing chemotherapy in the spring and scored a respectable 30 on it.

Jake is an Eagle Scout as well, still maintains a 4.0 GPA, and hopes to one day major in molecular biology in college.

The hospital immediately assigned a social worker to the Adams family following the diagnosis. As treatment began, Lynette told the social worker about her son Dan’s funny comment concerning a brothers moose hunt. The social worker was intrigued and connected Lynnette with an application for the Pathfinder Award through Safari Club International, Southern Utah Chapter (SCI). The Pathfinder Award is specifically allocated to a young adult under 18 who is faced with difficult health challenges in their life and continues to be engaged in outdoor activities. The southern Utah chapter specifically chooses a recipient with a life-threatening illness. With the encouragement of her older son Dave, they secretly submitted the application and found out a few months later that Jake had been chosen.

Jake continued to get well from cancer treatment and had no idea he had been selected for this ultimate hunting trip. He had even made a date for Corner Canyon’s junior prom, which happened to be on the very same night as the SCI banquet in St. George. After some wrangling and rearranging to clear his schedule by his mom, Jake Adams and his par-

ents went to St. George for the banquet. The southern Utah chapter has given this award for the past six years and all of the recipients had gone on a hunt to Wyoming. But this year would be different. SCI sent Jake and his father on a dream hunt to Alaska. They hunted caribou and wolves, on the very northern point of Alaska--Deadhorse and Prudhoe Bay. All of the prior winners were at the banquet and gathered around him afterwards. “They were very supportive and excited for Jake. It was cool to see all of them,” Lynnette notes with obvious admiration.

Since Jake is a strong young man, he was the perfect candidate for this ultimate hunt. Prudhoe Bay is a tundra wilderness. It is located in the “northernmost reaches of the US road system, and sits on the coast of the Arctic Ocean at the heart of Alaska’s oil patch.” (TravelAlaska.com) They flew in to Anchorage, and then to Deadhorse at Prudhoe Bay, followed by an 8- to 10-mile drive out of town, and a 30-mile airboat ride to their hunting destination. Their hunting guides went in a week before to scout out the caribou herds. Father and son each had tags for two caribou and wolf and also got to fish for Arctic char and Arctic grayling. In other words, this hunting trip was epic.

It seems appropriate that a gentle, high school football standout, who has overcome an extremely harsh and difficult past six months fighting cancer, was then able to overcome a harsh and difficult wilderness environment. Fighting cancer takes stubbornness and a lot of patience and the same can be said about hunting caribou in an inhospitable barren tundra in the uppermost reaches of Alaska.

So, it may not have been a moose hunt with all of his brothers, but an ultimate hunting expedition with father and son seems like a poetic victory for this cancer survivor.

History 101

beetdiggers A MASCOT FOR THE AGES

ARTICLE SHARI MOORE | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

S

chools of every type have followed the tradition of choosing a mascot to represent them. The frightening reincarnations of Vikings, leopards, bears and eagles are emblazoned on sports uniforms and proudly displayed at places of prominence on and in the schools. Even professional sports teams are known by their bold symbols. They are revered, sung about and recognized as the standard bearer for the team or school they represent. Among all these valiant symbols we discover the Jordan High Beetdiggers. Where did that come from, what are they, and why are they to be feared?

Jordan High School first began its storied tenure in 1907 when Weston Morley began holding classes in the basement of a church in Midvale. The school grew to a student body of 2,000 and became known as The People’s College. By 1914, a new high school was built at 9351 South State Street in Sandy. It was named Jordan High School, in honor of the Jordan River which ran just west of it. Now, what to select as that all important mascot?

In the early 20th century, most of the communities south of Midvale were farming communities. With irrigation water from those majestic mountains to the east, and canal water diverted from the Jordan River, the land was fertile. It was ideal for growing the product from which the much of the nation’s sugar was processed--sugar beets. Sugar beets are large, white-root plants and were planted in long rows.

Sugar beets were labor intensive at harvest time. Each fivepound beet was pulled from the ground, lopped of its leafy top, and loaded into trucks for delivery from farm to sugar processing plants.

This all happened within a two week period of time in the month of October, usually after the first frost which increased the sugar content.

Armies of strong young backs were needed to harvest this all important crop, so the solution was to call a “beet holiday” for two

16

Draper Lifestyle | October 2015

weeks every October to enable the farmers to hire young people to dig the beets. Students were typically hired in teams and moved from field to field working for several different farmers.

The tool used during the harvest was the sugar beet knife. You want to face something that could make your heart stop, face a beet knife, which could be a lethal weapon with its sharp hook for stabbing and lifting the beet from the ground and its keen cutting edge used for topping off the leafy tops.

Every possible type of fearsome creature from giants to tigers was considered as a possible mascot for the proud new high school. But when they looked at the sugar beet knife and partnered it with the strong and fearless young people growing up in the south valley communities, it was decided that the most appropriate mascot for Jordan High would be “The Beetdiggers.” Sure enough, the sugar beet knife became well known as the symbol of a successfully competitive and much “feared” high school.

The Jordan High Beetdiggers became state champions in every sport over the years, and still remain strong contenders for AllState titles today. The Beetdiggers have launched nationally acclaimed athletes, including: Dee Benson - Professional soccer player and federal judge Gene Fullmer - World Middleweight Boxing Champion Don Lind - NASA Astronaut A ndy Jones - Professional acrobat; Member of USA High Diving Team, 2014 D on Fullmer - contender for the World Middleweight Boxing Championship In the early 1990s, because of dramatic growth and limited space, the decision was made to move the school to a new site at 9800 South State. A public discussion was held and the students were given the choice of changing the traditional colors of maroon and grey, the mascot, Beetdiggers and the school logo. They overwhelmingly voted to keep all of them the same, and moved into a beautiful new school while simultaneously honoring their past history.

The Jordan High Beetdiggers continue to feed college teams with highly skilled athletes and universities with academically superior and talented students. So, if you are or ever were a Beetdigger, hold your head high, for your heritage is rich, full of meaning and purpose, and fearsomely competitive on every level. Go Beetdiggers!

CLUBHOUSE Special needs adults age upward in the community and in life.

ARTICLE COLLEEN DOWN | PHOTOGRAPHY STACY TYLER

L

ike all graduation ceremonies, this one is a happy time complete with caps, gowns and diplomas, but if you look around the room you will see behind the smiles and cheers of the parents a look of trepidation. There is a slight anxiety in the air as pictures are taken and good-byes said to favorite teachers. For these parents and their young adult children, they have not only graduated from the Canyons district, they have “aged out.” “Aging out” is a term used when a person leaves the special education programs they have been enrolled in since pre-school and parents look for new opportunities for their child to grow and thrive as they enter adulthood.

Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), a student is eligible for services until the age of 21. At one time, this meant that on their 21st birthday, they received not only a cake and birthday wishes, they also had their last day of school. Fortunately, this law changed in Utah to allow the students to all graduate together in May. But then the scrambling and experiments begin as parents seek for ways to fill the time that was once spent in the classrooms.

Most adults with Down Syndrome and other cognitive delays in Draper continue to live with their families. Unlike previous generations, where they may have been found living in group homes or other institutional settings, today they are active participants in the community. They are our friends and neighbors and work with us and among us. You will meet Megan and Brady bagging groceries at Smith’s and Fresh Market. Your children see Andy serving lunch at Draper elementary or bussing tables at EvenStevens. For many years, until his retirement, Porter was an important part of the Harmon’s Grocery Store family.

One important resource for parents on the south end of the Salt Lake Valley is the Friend’s Clubhouse. Seeing a need for a social and safe environment for adults who had “aged out” of other services, Stacy Tyler and Kathy Britton and a group of parents created The Friend”s Clubhouse, a privately-funded day program to meet the needs of adults living at home with their parents. Founded in 2008, The Clubhouse provides a secure, semi-structured, fun environment where adults, who have known each other for many years in the

school system, can continue their social relationships. It also provides a much needed respite for families who continue to care for their adult children. Stacy observed, “ In the early days we thought, if we build it-they will come and if we can dream it-it will happen.” They built it and come they have!

Open five days a week, participants engage in a wide variety of activities. They shop for and prepare meals. (Say hello next time you run into this smiling group in the store!) They provide service around the valley including the food bank, the bishop’s storehouse and at senior care centers. They are more often on the giving end than the receiving end. They have fun bowling, going to movies, swimming and cheering on the Salt Lake Bees. Kathy explains, “We are now less focused on academics and shoe tying and more focused on those skills that cannot be taught—friendship, laughter and caring. We love our sports teams and are equal supporters of the Cougars and Utes. We love our movies, our music and our food.” The three rules that are paramount at the Clubhouse are 1) kindness, 2) kindness and 3) kindness!

Even a brief visit to this welcoming home and you leave with new friends and a bounce in your step. You may also leave with a beautiful bracelet that Lindsey makes while her friends play games on their iPads. Auggie will tell you a knock knock joke and Jess will want to thumb wrestle you and talk about his favorite band, R5. Sarah will dazzle you with her fashion sense and Kelsey will melt your heart with her manners. TJ and Stuart will want to talk about their favorite teams and Tauna will ask about your dog-she loves dogs and horses. Heather will let you know what local play her family is involved in. Dusty, the oldest member of the clubhouse, might pick up a guitar and sing you his favorite country song. Beau and Nate will lounge on the couch waiting for the next adventure to start or a cute girl to volunteer. Mostly everyone will just want to know if you are having a good day.

Stacy and Kathy have a special gift of understanding the unique needs of the adult population. Often, there are strict dietary restrictions to be observed. There are some physical limitations that must be taken into consideration. But, mostly they are keenly sensitive to the often quirky, often hilarious, often touching personalities of each and every individual in their care. They love each participant like their own. Like all families, who spend a great deal of time together, the glue that holds the clubhouse together is love and a good sense of humor and there is more than enough to fill all of the rooms.

We often hear people bemoan the state of the world but any parent of a child with special needs recognizes that we live in a kinder, gentler time. All parents recognize that they have been the recipients of kindness and tolerance in our community. We feel welcomed in the schools, included in church activities and your children and teenagers reach out with love and kindness to our children. We appreciate the patience shown to our adult children as they work and seek increasing independence. We have a long ways to go in insuring that “no adult is left behind” but we are making giant strides forward and the future looks promising for inclusion and acceptance for anyone with special needs. They may have “aged out” of school, but they are aging upward in life.

A Fresh Take on Hospital Food VIRTUAL CAFE AT LONE PEAK HOSPITAL OPEN TO ALL

H

Hospital. And the formula is simple. Apply the golden rule to food—cook for others as you would want someone to cook for you.

“My work aligns with my vision of how I would want to be taken care of,” says Lone Peak Hospital’s food service director Kristian Williamson, who has overseen the kitchen since the hospital opened in 2013. Fresh, made-from-scratch food helps heal the body and brings happiness to patients, staff and visitors. That happiness, he says, is what he works to provide, along with help from his dedicated kitchen staff.

And who wouldn’t be happy with a reasonably priced menu featuring healthy sandwiches, fresh salads and such specials as Cantonese chicken wraps, a green salad topped with roasted veggies, the “super popular” ham and Swiss cheese crepes or, for dessert, mango-pineapple crepes?

For vegans/vegetarians there is wild rice pilaf and a spaghetti squash with pesto. “We try to make everything we can from scratch,” he says. Local products are used as often as possible.

Special touches abound, too. New mothers enjoy a multi-course “Celebration Meal for Two” served on fine china. Moms can savor steak, salmon or chicken and for the

ospital food doesn’t have the best reputation—canned vegetables, bland starches, and dry meat lumped together.

Luckily, hospital menus are changing for the better at Draper’s Lone Peak

vegetarian/vegan mom, pesto pasta or the homemade quinoa burger.

“New mothers love the food,” says Debra Weight, director of the labor and delivery department. “Time and time again I hear from them that the meals are above and beyond what they expect from hospital food. It’s restaurant quality.”

Service is atypical of most hospitals, both inroom and at the open-to-the-public cafe. For patients, a hostess takes the order in the patient’s room. For visitors and staff there is the Cirque Virtual Cafe downstairs where orders are taken on a kiosk or via a smartphone app.

Williamson started cooking early in life, first for his family and then in the corporate restaurant world. He studied culinary arts at The Art Institute of Salt Lake City and feels fortunate to work at a hospital that takes pride in their offerings.

The chef hopes the reputation of hospital food everywhere changes for the better. “The smaller hospital seems to be the new model instead of the mega hospitals,” he says, “People see what we are doing, they taste it and they invest in it. Fresh, nutritious food is good for the patients and that is good for hospitals.”

Lone Peak Hospital’s Cirque Virtual Cafe is open to the public daily 8 a.m.-6 p.m.

Giving Back

BUST OUT OF THE NORMAL ROUTINE SERVING TIME CAFE DISHES UP GOOD GRUB ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY LINNEA LUNDGREN

W

ant to come face to face with a parole violator? Perhaps be part of a felony? Need to break out of the normal dining routine?

Then book a visit to Serving Time Cafe, a little bright spot at the Utah Department of Corrections in Draper, where female inmates serve up generous portions of good cuisine with a dash of humor. Bite into a parole violator (a cheeseburger topped with onion rings and barbecue sauce) or sink your teeth into a felony aka homemade dessert. Whatever the order, it’s certainly an escape from the norm.

“Most people look surprised when I tell them I’m taking them to the prison for lunch,” says Greg Durkes, who works in Draper. “They’re scared at first. They think prison food is what’s seen on TV, where stuff is slopped on a tray.” But he confirms that every time he visits, his lunch guests leave delighted.

The cafe dishes up breakfast and lunch mostly to correctional facility workers, road crews, police officers and nearby Draper office workers. Lines back up out the door during lunch hour and customers rave about the bacon cheeseburger and special sandwiches like the Cuban and French dip.

The cafe is more than convenient, delicious, and unusual, however. It is a training station for low-risk female inmates to gain

Draper Lifestyle | October 2015

culinary work experience. They are screened on good behavior and have a parole date.

They cross train and learn everything from baking and cashiering to working the grill.

Flipping burgers is one of the jobs inmate Sherry Moreno often does. She’s been incarcerated for six years after robbing a fast-food restaurant. “Yes, the irony...” she remarks. The job has helped her interact with the public again and develop a work ethic. “It has helped me transition,” she says. “It’s a good nudge to get back into working in the community.”

Debbie Aranda, incarcerated for two years, loves the challenge of ensuring diners are happy and satisfied. “I have fun with people,” she says.

Customers look at the menu board and ask what the “parole violator” is. Behind the counter, Aranda pipes up, "'Here I am!' Customers love the Serving Time Cafe for the food, reasonable prices and novelty, but some are a bit disappointed. They discover that we’re all so nice. They wonder what we could possibly have done to get in here.”

Refillable Growler jugs and metal mason jars are a fixture at The Fix.

The Fix is Here to Stay

Proprietor Karissa Peterson takes a break from baking sugar cookies to sit in a signature yellow chair at The Fix.

Chocolate chip, pink lemonade, coconut, and traditional cookies adorn the front counter of Beckman's Draper Chevron on 123rd South.

NESTLED IN THE CHEVRON NEAR THE HEART OF DRAPER, THIS SODA POP SHOP IS A GREAT PLACE FOR A HOMEMADE TREAT ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY KELLY ERICKSON

S

ugar cookies, right? It really is all about sugar cookies these days.

Draper is fortunate enough to have several places with deliciously yummy sugar cookie options. One place is at the Chevron on 1300 East and 123rd South. That is because every day, Karissa Peterson is in the commercial kitchen at the back of her store baking freshly made cookies from her family’s secret dough recipe.

Ever since Karissa can remember, her grandmother Valeria King would make scrumptious sugar cookies and pies and cakes and anything else that had to do with sugar. In Antimony, Utah Grandma King is a baking legend. So a few years ago, Peterson was trying to think of a better way to compete with all the new soda stores that were opening in the area. After giving birth to her twin boys and being able to slow down for a little bit and go over the numbers for her business, she noticed that fountain volume sales at her Draper Chevron had significantly decreased. She was ready to find another way to be more competitive.

Draper had always had the highest soda volume of all the stores in the valley. Yes, Draper residents really love their soda pop! Then she remembered the amazing sugar cookie recipe that her grandmother had used for years. Peterson got to work and started baking and tweaking.

The dough recipe is grandma’s and it is pretty flawless, but the three varieties of frosting belong to Karissa Peterson. Besides the traditional flavor, Peterson makes coconut and pink lemonade.

This is where The Fix was born. What goes better with a large sugar cookie than a specialized fountain drink? The theme for The Fix is that it hits the spot, and it really does. Drinks are easily customizable and

24

Draper Lifestyle | October 2015

she offers refills if you purchase a hip metal Mason jar with The Fix logo.

There are a wide variety of “fixed” drinks: Boombox, Galaxy, Red Rox, Tropix, Equinox, etc. In addition, customers can buy a Growler. It is a large, 64-ounce glass jar that they will fill up with a “fixed” drink that can be taken to parties or home for dinner. The Fix will refill a Growler also.

Peterson is an astute proprietor who owns three convenience stores in the valley. It is a business she learned as a child, watching her father successfully run dozens of stores in northern Utah. She transitioned to adulthood and ownership naturally. Now with the convenience store and commercial kitchen, Peterson has found a recipe for success in a competitive market. In other words, the cookies are a hit. The best part is that when Peterson designed this Chevron, she made sure to include a drive-thru window. From about 1-5 p.m. and at night, the drive-thru is busy serving Draper residents who need a little treat or a pick-me-up.

According to Karissa Peterson, the most popular cookie is the traditional sugar cookie. It constitutes 50 percent of cookie sales.

The coconut and pink lemonade cookies are about even for the other half. But a few months ago, Peterson added a loaded chocolate chip cookie that is especially popular with men. Peterson swears that only the men buy the chocolate chip cookie.

Since The Fix opened in February 2015, it has been a successful addition to the many new businesses in Draper. Whether you need a custom cookie order for your next special event, the drive-thru, or decide to hang out in a yellow chair at the store front, The Fix continues to uphold the integrity of the sugar cookie craze.

Rise Above It All At the ridge market & cafe ITALIAN PIZZAS AND BURGERS MAKE IT WORTH THE TRIP

so is the pizza-making method. Each pizza is made with Caputo 00 flour and hand stretched. “It makes a difference in the taste,” says Gaye.

Another top seller is The Ridge Burger—1/3 lb. of char-grilled Dakota beef on a homemade brioche bun topped with smoked Gouda and cheddar cheese, bacon, caramelized onions, and a homemade Louis sauce. The menu has recently been revised and, along with such favorites as the pizza and burger, will offer more daily specials, including a grilled salmon filet served alongside mashed potatoes and asparagus, roasted chicken with a choice of sides, and English popovers. “People love them,” adds Cal. Cal worked in the construction business for 28 years, but had a love for cooking. “He always had a kitchen in his office and cooked for his employees,” says Gaye. Wanting to expand on his passion for cooking and sharing good food, he attended and graduated from Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Scottsdale, honed his kitchen skills

ungry hikers, bicyclists, motorcyclists, neighborhood residents, and valley dwellers seeking relief from the weather will find much to satisfy their taste buds at The Ridge Market & Cafe.

“We have a diverse clientele,” says Chef Cal Wadsworth, who along with his wife Gaye, owns and operates the popular cafe atop Suncrest in Draper. “We welcome everyone.”

The restaurant takes in all the mountains have to offer, with large garage-style doors that open onto a wraparound patio with spectacular views.

Whether in boot, on bike, or on foot, there is something here for everyone all day long. For a morning pick-me-up there are specialty coffee drinks made from Starbucks coffee or the local gourmet coffee roaster, DOMA; a dozen flavors of ice cream greet kids ready for an afternoon treat; homemade dinners are an order away for work-weary parents; and a glass of wine and hors d’oeuvres cater to diners enjoying the sunset.

The centerpiece of the open kitchen is a stunning, copper-tiled Stefano Ferrara pizza oven, one of only eight such ovens in the United States, says Gaye.

“Cal and I traveled to Italy and fell in love with authentic Italian pizza,” recalls Gaye. Not only is the oven the real Italian deal, but 26

at Tuscany, and when the opportunity to buy the Suncrest restaurant came up, he and his brother, Tod, redesigned it and opened the cafe.

Both Cal and Gaye say owning a restaurant is a lot like having a dinner party every night for friends and family. It is a lot of work because the food and ambiance need to be just right, but the rewards are worth it.

“We want everyone to have a wonderful experience here,” says Gaye.

efore I proceed with my so-called parting thoughts, I have an assignment for you: set a ½ cup of butter on the counter and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Just trust me.

I am terrible at planning Halloween costumes, have yet to host Thanksgiving dinner and anything that involves the phrase backto-school stresses me out. In spite of all these things, I continue to look forward to fall with great anticipation, and I think it’s because I’ve got one solid trick up my sleeve: I make a mean apple pie.

By “mean,” I mean, “award-winning.” And by “award-winning,” I mean, my friends and I occasionally throw themed food parties in which we judge pre-determined food or beverages. A few falls ago, we judged pies, and I WON because my apple pie is THAT good.

Here’s the thing that’s so amazing about this pie that shoots it to the top of my “must make multiple times a season” list: it is so easy. So easy, you can make it too!

In full disclosure, I should say that this is my Aunt Nanette’s recipe and I failed to get her permission before sharing her recipe with the Draper community at large. But, she lives in Ohio, so I figure I’ll take my chances on her finding out.

So without further adieu and with great autumnal ceremony, I now share with you, AUNT NANETTE’S AWARD-WINNING APPLE PIE RECIPE.

First, make the bottom crust. Combine 1 ½ cups flour; 1 ½ teaspoon sugar; 1 teaspoon salt; ½ cup oil; and 2 tablespoons of milk.

Combine until well-blended, then pat in the bottom and sides of a nine inch pan. Do not roll it out! Because rolling out sucks, and this recipe is easy. If your rolling pin feels lonely, perhaps incorporate it into a Halloween costume.

Second, prepare the apples. This is the only place where this recipe could be described as even slightly tricky, although all trickiness is avoided if you own an apple corer. If you are not familiar with an 34

apple corer, it is a hand-cranking, suction cup device with a few dangerously sharp edges that seems to hail from the days of yore.

I am a firm believer in not owning any single-use kitchen appliances–likely a side effect of having taken residence in a New York City shoebox years ago–but my apple corer is one of those rare exceptions. If you don’t own one, I recommend buying or borrowing one. Alternatively, you can hand slice the apples by removing the core and outer layer, then thinly slicing the apple.

You will need four cups of sliced apples, which usually takes between four and six apples, depending on the size of the apples. Set the four cups of apples aside.

Next, make the filling. Add ½ cup sugar; 2 tablespoons flour; ½ teaspoon nutmeg; and ½ teaspoon cinnamon. Combine ingredients and toss lightly with apples. Pour mixture into unbaked pie crust.

Lastly, make the topping. This is probably my favorite part of the pie because it’s a crumble top. (Read: SO EASY.) Combine ½ cup flour; ½ cup brown sugar; and that ½ cup butter that is sitting on your counter and should be close to room temperature by now.

Combine ingredients then crumble with your fingers. Add ¼ cup more flour if mixture seems too sticky. Sprinkle over the pie.

Before putting the pie in the oven, place it in a plastic cooking bag and cut a few slits, or slide it into a brown paper grocery bag and loosely fold the openings together. Bake the pie at 350 degrees for about an hour and let it cool before slicing and serving.

And voilà! You need never feel fall conscious again. Serve this pie to family, friends, teachers or coworkers… insert any fall scenario and this apple crispy gooey goodness will fit right in. Throw some vanilla ice cream on top, and you will literally blow their minds. I guarantee everyone that tastes this award-winning number will think to themselves, “Wow. That gal, right there, she’s got fall figured out.” And you will silently thank someone named Aunt Nanette.
