Welcome to August and Our Kids and Pet Issue
This issue holds a special place in my heart. Children are more than just the future—they are the heartbeat of our communities today. Their laughter, their curiosity and their potential shape the world in ways we cannot fully measure.
As parents and caregivers, we put so much effort into nurturing their growth, teaching them and investing in their futures. But let’s not forget that children also shape us—they bring joy, laughter and meaning to our everyday lives.
We also cannot overlook the powerful role pets play in our families. They offer unconditional love and teach us valuable lessons in empathy, responsibility and companionship. The bond between kids and their pets can be transformative, fostering deep emotional connections.
I have been deeply impacted this past year as I have worked with a special high school student with a degenerative disease, who is wheelchair bound. She has a great love for beauty, and in her art classes she exhibits a marvelous gift for mixing colors. Her artistic sense is also reflected in the way she dresses. She is so strong and so determined to walk again someday, although the nature of her disease most likely will prohibit that, yet she has a dream. In addition, I love watching her interact with her friendly little dog—he is so devoted to her, and it’s a delight to observe their relationship.
Having worked with many students through the years, I am in awe of their talents and gifts. One of our features this month is about Lillian Breeze, a gifted and most disciplined vocal soloist, a prodigy, indeed, who is truly inspiring. I stand in awe of her and her relationship with her teacher/coach and the dedication of her parents in nurturing her prowess.
At the core of both children and pets is a simple truth—they need us. Our care and attention shape who they become, and in turn, they shape us. This issue is dedicated to celebrating the kids and pets that fill our homes with joy and love and beauty.
I hope this month’s issue inspires you to pour a little extra love into the children and pets in your life. They remind us of the simple joys and the importance of unconditional love.
Here’s to our young ones, and the pets that make everything better. Cheers!

Ultimate cornflakes French Toast treat with buttermilk syrup: a delectable recipe for the young chef
Making this French Toast with your children is a fun, hands-on activity that teaches basic cooking skills, encourages creativity, builds confidence and creates lasting memories, all while enjoying a delicious homemade breakfast together.
ULTIMATE CORNFLAKES FRENCH TOAST
METHOD:
1. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg.
2. Lay the bread slices in a casserole dish. Pour on the egg mixture. Allow to soak for about 10 minutes, until the bread has absorbed the egg mixture.
3. Crumble the cornflakes until each flake is about half the size of the original flake. Place the cornflakes in a shallow bowl, such as a pasta bowl.
4. Heat a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of butter. When the pan is hot, dip the French toast slices in the cornflakes, lightly pushing so the cornflakes stick to the bread slices.
5. Cook about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the cornflakes are lightly browned and the French toast is cooked.
6. Wipe down skillet and repeat with the remaining slices.
INGREDIENTS FOR ULTIMATE CORNFLAKES FRENCH TOAST:
• 6 slices Challah bread
• 3 large eggs
• ½ cup whole milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups cornflakes
• 4 tablespoons butter

SETTING THE STAGE
ARTICLE BY JJ ABERNATHY | PHOTOGRAPHY BY BREE HUMMEL; COURTESY OF LISA SEEGMILLER
Who is Lillian Breeze? Composer, Kurt Bestor, describes Lillian as possessing a voice that belies her young years, being trained by Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller in classical, pop and musical theatre. She will soon be making her Tuacahn debut.
JJ ABERNATHY: WHAT FIRST SPARKED YOUR INTEREST IN MUSIC? DO YOU HAVE ONE MEMORABLE MOMENT OR DID YOU DISCOVER YOUR MUSIC PASSION GRADUALLY?
Lillian Breeze: I’m told I was singing before I started talking. I’ve been singing since I was a baby, but I think the more professional side of singing came gradually, beginning around the age of eightyears-old when I started lessons with Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller. CONTINUED >

Lisa Seegmiller warming Lillian up backstage at the Lincoln Center
JJA: CAN YOU DESCRIBE THE MOMENT YOU REALIZED YOU HAD A SPECIAL GIFT FOR MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE?
LB: I don’t know if I have fully realized it yet. My parents, family and Lisa probably first saw my potential around 10 years old, and I’ve just continued to work on my voice and challenge myself.
JJA: WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR MEMORABLE PERFORMANCE EXPERIENCES?
LB: Oh, wow! I have loved doing concerts with Jenny Oaks Baker and being Kurt Bestor’s featured artist. I was also able to perform on stage with David Foster and Kat McPhee, which was epic! As far as a venue, I’d have to say performing to a packed house at Lincoln Center in New York City.
JJA: HAVE YOU EVER FELT STAGE FRIGHT OR PERFORMANCE ANXIETY—AND HOW DID YOU DEAL WITH IT?
LB: A little bit but not too bad. My dad stays backstage with me and keeps me pretty calm and ready to go out there confidently.
JJA: HOW DO YOU BALANCE YOUR DAILY ACTIVITIES WITH MUSIC—AND HOW DOES MUSIC AND OTHER ASPECTS OF YOUR LIFE INTERSECT?
LB: My life is pretty balanced. School, friends, vacations, and we set aside a little time every day to work on my technique and prepare for the next show.
JJA: HOW DOES YOUR IDENTITY INFLUENCE YOUR CREATIVITY?
LB: Well, I think my age makes a difference in the way people hear my vocal talents. I think seeing a 13/14 year old embrace classical crossover opera, in both French and Italian, is unusual for them and takes them by surprise.
JJA: WHAT DO YOU DO TO IMPROVE YOUR SKILLS?
LB: Weekly lessons with Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller followed by daily sessions at home to work on areas that Lisa suggests I work on.

Lilliane Breeze in Concert at Tuacahn Nov. 12
Lillian Breeze, 14, is known as a vocal phenomenon—a rare young artist who is cross-trained in classical, pop and musical theatre.
Since the age of eight, Lillian has trained with local Tony Award-winning, Grammy-nominated soprano Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller, developing a voice that is both technically brilliant and emotionally powerful.
Lillian has performed alongside musical legends David Foster, Katharine McPhee, Daniel Emmet, Jenny Oaks Baker, Kurt Bestor, Caroline Campbell, Alex Sharpe and, of course, her voice teacher, Lisa Hopkins Seegmiller, in such venues as Lincoln Center, ECCLES Theater and Kingsbury Hall.
Lillian Breeze will perform at the Tuacahn Amphitheatre with Emmy-Award winning, Grammy-nominated composer/ performer Kurt Bestor and his band.

“I just want to keep singing, keep performing, continue growing a fanbase, and see what God has in store for me.”
— LILLIAN BREEZE
JJA: WHAT ARE YOUR LONG-TERM CAREER GOALS?
LB: I don’t know, I just want to keep singing, keep performing, continue growing a fanbase and see what God has in store for me.
JJA: WHAT ARE YOUR CURRENT OR UPCOMING PROJECTS?
LB: In October I’m performing for the Rise Economic Summit; also in October I’m performing with William Joseph and Pia Toscano. Then, November 12th, I’m the actual headliner of my own concert at Tuacahn Amphitheatre. I’ve mostly performed only classical crossover, but November 12th, I’ll have a little bit of that, but will also debut both pop and country.
JJA: WHAT HOPES DO YOU HAVE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE WORLD?
LB: I hope to be a light to other young girls to chase their dreams, inspire them to work hard for them and to one day be a mentor and show up to support them.
JJA: WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO OTHER YOUNG ASPIRING MUSICIANS?
LB: To find a great teacher, ask for support from family and friends, put in the work and don’t ever believe your dreams are too big.
JJA: WHAT LESSONS HAVE YOU LEARNED FROM YOUR TEACHER/MENTOR?
LB: First, GREAT technique. I had no idea how technical singing is. I didn’t know you can work with the technique to get better and better. Also, Lisa has taught me to be confident and instilled in me a knowledge of what it takes to be world-class.
JJA: WHAT DO YOU ENJOY MOST ABOUT PERFORMING?
LB: Looking out and seeing the crowd smiling, shocked at times, getting standing ovations and
hearing all the encouragement from them after the show. It’s the fans who keep me pushing myself to get better every day.
THE SMALL AND SIMPLE THINGS IN LISA HOPKINS SEEGMILLER’S OWN WORDS:
I was mentored by the late Marlena Malas and Trish McCaffrey, legendary voice teachers at the Juilliard School, The Curtis Institute and The Manhattan School of Music, two of the greatest voice teachers of my generation, and, after adopting their techniques and adding my own insights after nearly 30 years of teaching and a lifetime of performing on some of the greatest stages in the world, the motto I have adopted for my studio is found in one of my favorite verses of Latter-day Saint scripture, Alma 37:6: “By small and simple things are great things brought to pass.”
Two icons I often refer to in lessons are Einstein and Mr. Miyagi from “The Karate Kid.” Einstein said, “The definition of genius is taking the complex and making it simple.” Mr. Miyagi was a master sensei who embodied this approach as he taught “Daniel Son” simple, real life movements (like “wax on, wax off” as he waxed Mr. Miyagi’s vintage cars) that he strengthened through focused repetition, and which he later applied to the art of karate and self-defense.
Similarly, I believe in taking the incredibly complex instrument of the voice and making it simple by demonstrating and drilling simple, specific movements of the body, vocal cords, tongue, lips, teeth, jaw and facial muscles—based on our Creator’s laws of nature—over and over to build a world-class, life-changing instrument.

Second Chances for Learning
The Higher Education for Incarcerated Youth (HEIY) program at Utah Tech is elevating lives for the good
It was the summer of 2020, the COVID-19 era. As a professor at Snow College, I was sitting on a leather couch in meditation. It seemed the college, a preeminent two-year institution, succeeded in bringing associate degrees to towns without a Walmart, let alone a university. This unique education was facilitated by remote, live and synchronous coursework and university lectures brought into high school classrooms to the Piute and West Desert populations.
Why couldn’t we do that for impoverished youth in custody to expand to even more unreachable youth populations? I contemplated that thought on that hot summer afternoon, during the height of the pandemic.
Adolescents in Utah’s juvenile justice system might be the most in need of new and better ways of perceiving, knowing and being. Higher education is clearly the way to achieve these new vistas. I tapped into the mind of Lowry Snow—a leading community attorney and education reform leader, who answered my call with his usual baritone and ready-to-serve salutation. “Nate, how are you?”
An hour later, the HEIY program concept was born, and after several months of pitches, negotiations and bill writing, the HEIY program became a reality in April 2021, with the endorsement of Utah’s Governor Spencer Cox and a team of educators and community leaders.
An example of the success of the HEIY program was Andre, who was expected to join his older peers in black market endeavors. Before he was 18, the juvenile court system remanded him to a secure facility run by Utah’s Juvenile Justice and Youth Services.
When the HEIY program was offered to Andre, he jumped at the opportunity for more education. Maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA , he earned a scholarship to Utah Tech, started a part-time job and continued his education journey, even presenting at an international conference, working his way to a bachelor’s degree and eventually the practice of law.
In Utah, more than 40% of in custody youth now enroll in university courses and are being recognized for their successes. HEIY is definitely making a difference.
I like the part where you think something is hard, and then you get it. It makes you feel smart. “
Nate Caplin, Program Director for the HEIY program
SENIORS HELPING SENIORS® LENDS LOVING HANDS
Service Begins at Home
ARTICLE BY MARIANNE HAMILTON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED
Jim and MaryAnn Clark Photo Credit: JJ Abernathy
Jim and Mary Ann Clark are uniquely qualified to oversee the southern Utah branch of Seniors Helping Seniors®. The 20-year-old organization—founded by Kiran Yocum, a native of India who worked with Mother Teresa for 14 years, and her husband Philip—brings love, dignity and respect into the lives of seniors through in-home connections with other seniors. St. George City Lifestyle caught up with Jim and Mary Ann, who shared how their lifetime of service has led them to this new chapter.
SGCL: HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN ST GEORGE?
Jim: We moved to Hurricane in 2015, and built next door to my dad, with my brother on the other side of him. It was great to spend that time with him. We moved to St. George last fall.
SGCL: HOW DID YOU CONNECT WITH SENIORS HELPING SENIORS?
Jim: My brother and I helped provide my dad’s end-of-life care before he passed in 2023. I’d been an insurance actuary for 39 years, but my position was eliminated a few months later. A franchise broker reached out to us, asking if we’d be interested in an opportunity with Seniors Helping Seniors. When we heard that we could provide a similar type of care to others, it felt like something we wanted to get behind.
Mary Ann: I was a homemaker; we have four kids, all of whom are married, and we have ten grandkids. We’ve spent our lives serving others. This was the perfect next chapter for us. CONTINUED >
SGCL: WHAT SORTS OF SERVICES DO YOU PROVIDE?
Mary Ann: We provide a wide variety of services, including companionship, friendship, transportation, cooking and housekeeping. We talk with our clients and learn what they like to do, such as playing games, watching sports on TV, and other hobbies they have. Then we match them with people who enjoy the same activities.
SGCL: HOW HAVE YOU FOUND THE RIGHT CAREGIVERS TO WORK WITH YOUR CLIENTS?
Mary Ann: A lot of our employees have cared for family or friends previously. This job gives them the opportunity to serve others in a way they love because of their past experiences.
Jim: Because we’re recruiting seniors, we don’t require any special licensing or certifications, although many have nursing or CNA backgrounds. We allow our seniors to structure how many hours they want to give, and what kind of services they want to provide. We want everyone’s time to work for them, while still providing the best possible care for our clients.
SGCL: HOW HAS BUSINESS BEEN SO FAR?
Jim: We just became certified by the Veteran’s Administration. We’re making connections with the senior centers in the area and other businesses. We are enjoying meeting the many wonderful people in southern Utah.
SGCL: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO LOCAL SENIORS WHO MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH YOU?
Mary Ann: One of our company’s taglines is “a way to give and receive.” Our clients give, by paying for services; our caregivers give, by providing those services. Caregivers receive by making an income and building valuable relationships; our clients receive by being able to stay in their homes, receive care, and develop wonderful friendships so they can age with dignity and independence in their own homes. Our work is based on love and compassion.

Fun Tricks To Teach Your Puppy
A list of exciting new tricks to teach your puppy
ARTICLE BY BAILEY MORRIS
We created a list of some fun tricks to teach your puppy! Whether you just welcomed a new furry friend into your home or you’re teaching an old dog new tricks, you and your pet are sure to have a fun time! Spending time playing and training with your pet makes for a great bonding experience! Don’t forget to reward them with some delicious dog treats when they successfully do a trick. My pup’s personal favorite treats are chicken, peanut butter, and carrots. We hope you and your pup have a great time learning the tricks on this list!
SPEAK
Get your dog to bark naturally (try ringing the doorbell or knocking on the door). Once they bark, say ‘speak’ and reward them.
STAY
Have your dog sit and then tell them to stay. Hold your hand out with your palm toward their nose in the stop position. If they hold the position for a second or two, praise them and reward them with a treat. Keep repeating this and gradually having them stay longer.
SHAKE
Hold your hand out in front of your dog. Your dog may do some experimenting trying to figure out what you want. Once they put their paw in your hand, immediately praise and reward them.
