The magic for life, lies in GRATITUDE.
Dear Neighbors,
The season is upon us.. GRATITUDE. Breathe that in. What does it mean to you? Let me let you all in on a little life hack… the magic of true joy, love, health, abundance, and connection all lies in the practice of gratitude. Realizing that we are all creators with the grounded intention and feeling of gratitude is the best life hack I could share with you. I can’t tell you how expansive life feels with this simple practice. If you haven’t given it much thought or time, I encourage you to enroll this simple yet powerful practice in your life.
On that note, there is SO MUCH to be grateful for! Let’s start with this beautiful place we live! Waking each day to the sun rising over Mount Olympus is reason enough to jump out of bed. We are here, because of our Veterans. I wanted to highlight an incredible individual in our community who has not only been an integral and successful business owner, but also left his young family to serve our country in Vietnam. In fact, his second son was born while he was overseas. My esteemed Uncle, Larry Hanks, former owner of APA Benefits has beautiful insights to that time in his life. THANK YOU so much for all you’ve done not just for our community but our country.
Next we turn to our local public servants at Unified Fire Stations across Millcreek and outer communities. Their dedication to taking care of all the unexpected moments of life is unmatched. I’m sure after reading insights from Fire Chief Adam Halsey you’ll feel a deeper sense of gratitude for your community and the way it operates so beautifully to keep us safe and protected on days that none of us want an emergency.
We also wanted to highlight the wonder and excitement of the Inaugural Utah Hot Air Balloon Palooza that took place in Sept. It’s events like this that give us sincere gratitude for this beautiful skyline, inspired community officials and clean vibrant city we all get to be part of. It was magical to witness and participate in. If you missed it, we’ll be back next year!
From stress free Thanksgiving prep to snow conditioning for our ever-giving bodies… This issue is packed with plenty of reasons to feel gratitude!
From my heart to each of yours, I am deeply grateful for you, my community.

Colorful Skies create Wonder at Utah’s Hot Air Balloon Palooza
ARTICLE BY JULIE JANKE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY ALLISON HARRIS @ALLISONECLECTICAVENUE
On a crisp autumn morning in Murray, Utah, the towering mountains stood bathed in the golden light of the rising sun. As the first rays peeked over the crest, the sky was painted in hues of pink and orange, setting the perfect scene for a stunning day of flight. Onlookers gathered in
quiet anticipation as brightly colored hot air balloons were prepped for takeoff, their vibrant hues a striking contrast against the clear blue skies.
This hot air balloon palooza spanned four days, filling the skies of our community with a magical spectacle. Families, couples, and balloon enthusiasts alike were drawn to the park, where the soft hum of excitement floated through the air. The eager yet hushed crowd watched closely as the crews worked to inflate the massive balloons, slowly bringing them to life. With each balloon taking shape, it felt like the town itself was coming alive.
This hot air balloon palooza was a new experience for Murray, filling the void left by the cancellation of the Park City Autumn Aloft event. The Murray Chamber of Commerce, saw an opportunity to bring this awe-inspiring event to their community. "We wanted to create something special for our community, something magical to experience right here at home," Matt Gibbons, President remarked.
Thanks to the dedication of the Palooza team, along with the incredible support from 26 community sponsors, the event became a reality. These local sponsors played a vital role in bringing the event to life, showcasing the strength and unity of the community.
On Saturday evening, the Palooza continued with a magical "evening glow." As dusk settled, the balloons remained tethered to the ground, lighting up like giant lanterns, casting a warm glow across the park, enchanting spectators of all ages.
As the balloons lifted off one by one, day after day, each serene morning was transformed into a scene of wonder. The beauty of the event wasn’t just in the spectacle itself but in the way it brought the community together. For four days, the community enjoyed a breathtaking celebration, filling hearts with joy and the skies with color.
NOT HOME...
For firefighters, holidays reflect commitment to service, community, and family, even when away from home.
ARTICLE BY CARRIE HILL
PHOTOGRAPHY BY UNIFIED FIRE
Holidays are unique for everyone, but especially for firefighters at Fire Station 106. For Captain Adam Halsey and his crew, the holidays signify a time to embrace family, brotherhood, and the community they serve.
“The connection between firefighters provides support on and off duty; I know I can call any of them for help.”
It’s about more than responding to emergencies— it’s about building relationships, support systems, and making meaningful contributions to others. Like many crew members, Halsey's passion for firefighting began as a child. Inspired by a visit to Taylorsville Fire Station 117 with his mother, he grew up to become a seasonal firefighter in 1997 and joined the full-time ranks in 2000. Now, with 24 years of experience, firefighting has shaped his life in unexpected ways.
“Firefighting is more than a job—it’s a brotherhood,” says Halsey, reflecting on the deep bonds shared among firefighters, not just within his crew but with the 640 firefighters of the Unified Fire Authority (UFA) across the valley. “The connection between firefighters provides support on and off duty; I know I can call any of them for help.” He emphasizes that the personal connection between crew members
strengthens their professional capabilities, making them more effective as a team under pressure.
Firefighting tests both physical and mental endurance. Early in Halsey's career, a common practice was to compartmentalize stress by "boxing it up," but that method didn’t work for him or many others. Recognizing the importance of mental wellness, Halsey utilizes open discussions about difficult experiences with his crew. He credits these conversations as a crucial support system, especially in high-stakes situations. Today, UFA’s recruit academy is introduced to the in-house peer support team and their role, setting the foundation for support and helping firefighters build resilience.
Music plays a key role in team morale at the firehouse, whether in the gym or kitchen. Crew members often take turns asking Alexa to play a favorite
song—Poison’s “Nothing but a Good Time” being a regular choice for Halsey. These light-hearted moments help crew members bond and unwind between calls.
No matter the song playing, when the community calls, firefighters answer. “Firefighters are often the ‘knot at the end of the rope,” Halsey explains. Managing emotions under pressure while staying committed to serving others is a skill mastered over time. Flexibility, quick problem-solving, patience, and empathy are essential for any firefighter—qualities that serve not just in emergencies but in everyday life. For Halsey, the most rewarding part of the job is making a difference, no matter how small. “The little moments where you know you’ve made someone’s life better—that’s what keeps you going.”
Now serving the Millcreek community with passion and dedication, Halsey appreciates the community’s frequent expressions of gratitude, from random visitors dropping off tokens of appreciation to interactions at parades and events. Preschoolers often visit Station 106, giving the crew a chance to teach fire safety while building connections within the neighborhood. “Those are the moments we appreciate,” says Halsey.
During the holidays, the crew embraces the festive spirit by participating in coat drives, parades, and visits from Santa on the firetruck, bringing joy to local families. When on duty, the crew celebrates at the firehouse, further strengthening bonds between crew members, the community, and their families. Thanksgiving is special, with the upper room of Station 106 filled with the glow of lights, the smell of turkey, and the sounds of laughter. Families are invited to the firehouse for dinner, a tradition that reinforces connections between work and home life.
“Firefighters are often the ‘knot at the end of the rope. The little moments where you know you’ve made someone’s life better—that’s what keeps you going. Those are the moments we appreciate.”
Crew members take turns cooking holiday meals, with everyone bringing a side dish— though Halsey jokes that his tofu Wellington might not make it back on the table this year. Even during festive moments, safety remains a top priority, and the job comes first. Each firehouse is equipped with stoves that automatically shut off when a call comes in, ensuring no safety hazards are left behind.
As the holiday season approaches, the firehouse shares safety tips: fry your turkey on concrete, not wooden decks, water Christmas trees before they dry out, and be mindful in the kitchen as cooking fires are the most common cause of firehouse calls during the holidays.
These simple precautions can help families enjoy a safe and happy holiday.
Though being away from home during the holidays can be difficult, crew members stay connected with their families through text messages and video calls, ensuring they remain part of daily routines. “Family is everything,” says Halsey. Whether celebrating the holidays on duty or responding to an emergency, being a firefighter is a lifelong commitment, marked by moments of triumph, challenges, and deep connections with both colleagues and the community. For Captain Adam Halsey and the crew at Station 106, every day brings a new opportunity to make a difference.

“When
we returned from Vietnam and landed at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, as we got off the airplane, a large number of the soldiers on that plane knelt and kissed the ground because they loved the country.”
Larry Hanks, combat engineer, circa 1969
A Veteran’s Love for America
Vietnam Veteran Larry Hanks speaks about his time in the military and why serving is the ultimate act of love
Larry Hanks served in the Vietnam War as a Combat Engineer for the United States Army from 1968 until September 1969. As he reflects on what makes him proud and grateful for having served, Douglas MacArthur’s West Point farewell address comes to mind: “Duty, honor, country.” Because as Larry says, “Soldiers serve for the love of family and country.”
WHAT WAS THE MOST REWARDING ASPECT OF SERVING YOUR COUNTRY?
I understand how wonderful this country is and that freedom is not free.
WHAT WERE SOME OF THE MOST MEANINGFUL LESSONS YOU LEARNED WHILE SERVING?
I think the greatest lesson I learned over there [in Vietnam] was that for people to really understand what freedom is and what it means, they have to experience it.
I learned a lot of leadership skills, too, because I was responsible for many people.
And when somebody was hurt or what have you, I had to go through their belongings. They weren’t just guys in the battalion, in the unit. These were people who had a real life outside the military.
HOW DO YOU BELIEVE WE CAN ALL BETTER SERVE OUR COUNTRY, EVEN IF WE’RE NOT IN THE MILITARY PER SE?
I think back home really should be grateful to the soldiers in the military. They’re really what holds our life together. But the politicians and other leaders need to make sure that their ladders are on the right wall.
WHAT DOES BEING AN AMERICAN MEAN TO YOU?
It means everything.
When we returned from Vietnam and landed at McChord Air Force Base in Washington, as we got off the airplane, a large number of the soldiers on that plane knelt and kissed the ground because they loved the country.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST GRATEFUL FOR?
Obviously I’m most grateful for my wife, children, and grandchildren; my sons-in-law and daughters-in-law. Second, would be my siblings and my parents. I’m grateful for the example they set for me. I’m grateful for the good people that taught me, either formally in school or as mentors—those intangible things giving me a wonderful life.

Grateful for Movement
ARTICLE BY SHEENA STEEDMAN
PHOTOGRAPHY BY JEREMIAH WATT
A decorated athlete, former competitive boxer, martial artist, and track and cross-country runner with an insatiable passion for the outdoors, Converge founder Dr. Amy Frugé, PT, DPT, Cert. MDT, proclaims, “Movement is medicine.”
And it’s that same reverence and appreciation for the body’s capabilities that has driven her to open Converge Physical Therapy while in the heat of the pandemic, with the mission “to enable all ages and identities to play without limits.”
CONVERGE PHYSICAL THERAPY: EMPOWERING YOU TO “PLAY WITHOUT LIMITS” AND GIVE YOUR BODY THANKS YEAR-ROUND
“WE ARE NOT JUST OUR BODIES AND WE ARE NOT JUST OUR MINDS OR SPIRITS. SOMEONE’S ELBOW PAIN MAY BE ACTUALLY CAUSED BY NECK RESTRICTION.”
After years of being the head of a climbing department at a wilderness camp, a personal trainer, a yoga instructor, and a mentor for doctoral students (among other roles), she came to the profound realization that there is no one-fix-all approach to someone’s wellness. “Different people have different needs at different times,” she says.
Possessing a strong ethos to meet each client where they are, as a “whole person, authentically,” Converge covers much more than the injury to support clients going beyond what they believe is possible.
Fulfilling this bespoke approach to wellness, Dr.Frugé’s once one-woman show now includes a wide range of expertise and women (almost all of whom are extremely athletic)—with three orthopedic physical therapists, a registered dietician, a certified strength and conditioning coach, and even a pelvic floor specialist; covering all the bases.
“It feels like magic that this expansion has occurred and that this team all cares deeply about our purpose and mission,” Dr. Frugé says.
And magic it is. While not intentionally an all-female team (they’ve had a male practitioner in the past), there’s much to be said about working with a group of heart-centered women who happen to incorporate a sense of intuition and connection in their practice. The dynamic has fostered a culture of “softness and femininity into the workplace in a previously male-dominated community or line of work,” Dr.Frugé says.
Wildly proud of her team and all their accolades, she’s most blown away by who they are as people. She says that any one of the women on her team could and will change the world, but that “together—they are a force to be reckoned with.”
Their holistic approach is based on the philosophy of being whole beings, as Dr.Frugé says. “We are not just our bodies and we are not just our minds or spirits. Someone’s elbow pain may be actually caused by their neck restriction. Or someone’s back pain may be related to emotional pain, so to exclude the whole person is to limit one’s healing potential.
Movement is medicine
Dr. Amy Fruge, PT, DPT
Amy’s love for anatomy, movement, and pushing the limits started at a young age when she qualified for the USA National Martial Arts team and later won several World Titles. Her experience as a Personal Trainer, Yoga Instructor and Doctor of Physical Therapy pairs with her her knowledge and ability to listen to what the body goes through when performing at the highest level.
WHAT
MAKES US DIFFERENT:
Masterful Guidance: Alyssa Hernke, M. Ed., CSCS, isn’t just a coach—she’s a passionate educator and expert in her field. With her, you’ll experience a meticulously designed, periodized program that’s as intelligent as it is challenging. Alyssa’s approach ensures you’ll develop the strength, balance, and agility to dominate the slopes, no matter your level.
Injury Prevention: We believe in playing hard— but we also believe in playing smart. Our program starts with building a rock-solid foundation of strength, targeting the muscle groups and movement patterns critical for skiing. Alyssa’s expertise will guide you through exercises specifically designed to prevent the common injuries that can derail a season.
Similarly, our dietician can’t ignore the fact that someone’s relationship with food is often more about their relationship with self. Our strength coach knows how to adjust her client’s workload with their overall stressors in life.”
This all-encompassing, nourishing care has yielded numerous client triumphs—the kind that make it all worth it for the team. These successes include a first pull-up, skiing without back pain, picking up a grandchild, improving sexual health, and climbing the hardest grade, i.e. “playing without limits.”
Looking ahead to the body’s needs for the winter season, Converge is hosting its next clinic, Snow Prep—a specialized program designed to prepare the body for optimal performance on the slopes. With knee injuries common in a solid ski season, Dr. Frugé says, “It’s good to get yourself geared up.”
Starting September 30th, this three-month program offers a comprehensive approach for both skiers and snowboarders, combining progressive strength training and injury prevention exercises with personalized nutrition guidance.
Alyssa Hernke, M. Ed., CSCS—a passionate coach and educator—will lead the strength-training component, ensuring each participant’s workouts are tailored to their abilities and goals. The program builds progressively, meaning that by the third month, participants will be tackling more dynamic and challenging exercises as their strength improves.
Meanwhile, Registered Dietitian Colleen Shields will transform the way participants view nutrition, offering four nutrition clinics and helping them fuel their bodies for maximum performance.
With small class sizes and individual attention, the integration of strength, injury prevention, and nutrition sets Snow Prep apart from other fitness programs, offering a truly holistic experience that helps individuals reach their full potential on the slopes.
Participants are encouraged to push limits safely, progressively improving strength and agility throughout the season, and gain a whole new community while they’re at it.
As for what we can all do to show our bodies more gratitude all year long, Dr. Fruge suggests:
“To listen. To listen when our bodies are asking us to rest and be cared for. To listen when our body is wanting to run and to listen when we want to be powerful and dynamic. That communication goes so far…”

YOUR GUIDE TO A STRESS FREE THANKSGIVING
ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY BY DIANE SHEYA
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday; it’s all about connection with family, friends and food! No expensive gifts or decorations. It’s a time to cook cherished family recipes or experiment with new ones. This guide is my gift to you, helping bring that sense of togetherness. Whether passing down Grandma’s famous dinner rolls or trying something fresh, it’s about creating memories and moments that may become new traditions.
This is an abbreviated guide, you can download a full version with more recipes at utahdinnerproject.com
MAKE LISTS!
SHOPPING LISTS
• Order a fresh turkey for ease of not having to take up space in your refrigerator for over a week!
• Non perishable-shelf items
• Groceries to be purchased the week of Thanksgiving: celery, onions, chip dip ingredients, etc.
• Highly perishable items: bakery, fruit, vegetables, flowers, etc.
FOODS THAT CAN BE PREPARED IN ADVANCE
• Cook mashed potatoes 1 day ahead, mash and refrigerate. Be sure to pull them from the refrigerator early enough to warm up in the oven or microwave. You may need to add a bit more milk to make them creamy again.
• Make your stuffing 1 day ahead, bake then cool down. Reheat.
• Make your turkey stock for gravy weeks ahead. Freeze. Remove from the freezer 3 days before Thanksgiving.
• Make your gravy 1 day ahead then warm up in a sauce pan on the stove.
• If you make your own cranberry sauce, you can make that 3 days ahead and refrigerate.
• Parboil vegetables like green beans or carrots, 1 day ahead and refrigerate. Parboiling means to partially cook food by boiling it briefly in water and plunging them in ice cold water to stop the cooking. This is a great time saving technique.
BUYING THE BIRD
FRESH VS FROZEN: You need to consider time to thaw the turkey in your fridge safely. Fresh birds will be ready in 1-2 days.
SIZE MATTERS! Thanksgiving wouldn’t be complete without leftovers! The rule of thumb is calculating one pound of turkey per person, you’d do well to allow an extra half pound per feaster if you’ve got ideas about turkey sandwiches over the weekend. If you’re hosting a big crowd and have two ovens, consider roasting two smaller birds instead of one large one.
LET’S TALK TURKEY!
Crispy skin and flavorful meat is achievable when you dry brine your turkey the day before you roast. Here’s the steps:
• 8 to 24 hours before roasting, remove the turkey from the wrap. Remove the giblets and neck
• Mix together dry brine ingredients: For every 5 pounds of turkey: 1 tablespoon kosher salt, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and ½ teaspoon poultry seasoning (optional)
• Place the turkey on a rack set in a rimmed baking tray. Make sure you have room in your refrigerator for the turkey and the baking tray without the tray tilting so the juices don’t run all over your refrigerator
• Pat the turkey dry with paper towels
• Use your hand to loosen the skin over the breast and separate it from the meat-optional. Make a seasoned butter with poultry seasoning or fresh herbs
• Sprinkle the salt mixture into the cavity of the turkey, on the legs and the breasts. Rub the skin all over with the salt
• Bend the wings back and tuck under the back
• Place the turkey, unwrapped, in the refrigerator on the bottom shelf overnight
THANKSGIVING DAY-TIME TO ROAST THAT TURKEY!
• Remove the turkey from the refrigerator at least 2 hours prior to roasting
• Preheat oven to 425°F and adjust the oven rack to lowest level
• Prepare your roasting pan with rough chopped onions, celery and carrots spread evenly in the pan
• Pat the skin dry with paper towels (you do not need to rinse off the turkey)
• Rub the skin all over with olive oil, season with poultry seasoning (optional)
• If you didn’t dry brine, season the skin well with salt and pepper
• Place aromatics in the cavity-halved lemons or oranges, quartered onion, handful of fresh parsley
• Tie the legs together with butchers’ twine
• Place the turkey in the prepared roasting pan
• Place the probe into the deepest part of the breast, horizontal into the breast, set on 158°F. Make sure the probe is not touching the bone
• Place the turkey in the oven and cook for 1 hour at 425°F
• Reduce the oven temperature to 325°F. Open the oven door for 1-2 minutes to briefly vent the heat out
• Continue to cook the turkey until the probe alarm sounds and/or reads 158°F
• Verify the temperature by using an instant read thermometer and temp the thighs (thighs should be about 175°F). If all temperatures are at proper levels, pull out of oven. If not, roast for another 15 minutes and check temperatures again
• Allow the turkey to rest on the countertop for at least 30 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute into the meat
• Carve and serve
With these tips, enjoy a stress-free Thanksgiving filled with love, great food, and memories. Happy Feasting!
