Mayors Welcome W

elcome, Santaquin Citizens, friends and neighbors to this year’s Orchard Days celebration! While this will be a unique year for our city celebrations, I feel confident that although it will be different than years past, it will be a memorable and wonderful occasion. The City Council and I are excited to invite you to take part in the many wonderful events scheduled throughout this three-day event. We want to make sure that our community is safe and yet have a variety of activities to enjoy as family, friends and neighbors.

So many people have pulled together to make this event a success. We especially want to thank our Community Services Director John Bradley, Events Coordinator Amy Johnson and all of the volunteers from across the city who have worked so hard to prepare as best they could during these uncertain times.

We acknowledge that none of this would be possible without the financial support of our many sponsors, for whom we are enormously grateful.

It has been a challenge to navigate the celebrations within the restrictions set by our county, state and federal health officials and leaders. We hope that as a community we can adjust to the “new norm” and that we will prevail through these challenging times. We hope that next year the celebration will return to the way it has been in years past and we can appreciate it even more!

Sincerely, Mayor Kirk Hunsaker

Youth City Council T

he Santaquin City Youth Council has been established for just over a year now.

It has been a wonderful thing to see the youth in our community come together to serve and learn about city government.

They have found many opportunities to participate in projects such as helping the Recreation Department groom the ball fields, painting a wooden sheep for the County Fair and delivering fliers for the Santaquin Light Parade.

They were able to participate in helping at last year’s Orchard Days at the majority of events: Family Night, Block-Bash Dance, Rodeo, Parade, and helped run the Bounce Houses in the park. Orchard Days was definitely a highlight for the Youth Council.

The Youth Council has divided their efforts among the different departments and are Santaquin Youth City Council Celebrating 1-year Anniversary with City Council able to come up with ideas and activities if they wish.

he “What Do You Love About Santaquin?” Photo Contest is in its sixth year. Starting in 2015, Santaquin officials launched the contest to highlight what residents love about their city. A volunteer committee reviews each month’s submissions and anonymously vote for their favorite image.

On average, eight photos are submitted each month but some months have generated up to sixteen images. As of the beginning of 2020, almost 400 images have been submitted showcasing our beautiful city. Many of these photos are used in the Santaquin Orchard Days magazine and in the Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce annual magazine, as well as on the Santaquin City website and on the city’s social media pages.

In 2020, submitted images appeared in a new city calendar. Monthly winners of

History of Santaquin

S

antaquin is located in Utah County, about 70 miles south of Salt Lake City, in a picturesque and beautiful site with a view of Utah Lake and Mount Timpanogos to the north. Originally called Summit City because of its location at the summit dividing line between Utah and Juab valleys, it was settled in late 1851 by pioneers who were helping settle Payson, located about six miles to the north.

Abundant water, plenty of fertile land for farming, and abundant groves of trees for firewood, fence posts and cabin logs made this an ideal place for a community.

A friendship developed between local Indian chief Guffich and Benjamin F. Johnson, leader of the original pioneers, which enabled the whites to settle peacefully in the area. By 1853, the settlement had grown sufficiently to become known as Summit Creek Precinct No. 7. Soon after, however, the Walker War broke out, and the settlers were forced to move for safety to Payson, where they remained until 1855.

Around this time, a fort was built according to plans furnished by architect Truman O. Angell. After its completion, the settlers moved back to the town in the spring of 1856. One night soon after resettlement, Chief Guffich came secretly to warn Johnson of an impending raid by young braves, including his son San18

SANTAQUIN | www.santaquin.org

taquin. The settlers quickly left, and when the raiders found the fort deserted, Chief Guffich explained to them that the white men were good people and that the Great Spirit had warned them of the attack. It was claimed that from that day peace was made between the local Indians and the Mormon pioneers. It was decided to name the town after Guffich, but he declined the honor and asked that the settlement be named “Santaquin” for his son.

A rock schoolhouse was built in the fort in 1856. It was stoutly built and served the public for many years and was still being used into the 1980s. It was not until 1896 that the first local church building was constructed, religious meetings having been conducted in the school building, which now serves as a senior citizens’ center and a veterans’ memorial hall.

In addition to farming, early industries included sawmills, a flour mill, a molasses mill and a furniture shop. A silk industry was started with the planting of mulberry trees, some of which still remain in the city. Horse and buggy were the only means of transportation available until 1875, at which time the Utah Southern Railroad completed a line to Santaquin.

About that time, rich ore was discovered in the Tintic area. Several mines were discovered on Santaquin ridge, or Dry Mountain, with some copper, lead, silver

and zinc being mined; the Union Chief mine was the most prosperous.

Following serious flooding in 1949, the Summit Creek Canal and Irrigation Company was given approval to construct a reservoir west of the city; on several occasions it has prevented disastrous damage to the community. A diversion dam was completed and more than 10,000 feet of concrete pipe laid in 1971, which proved to be an efficient method of conserving valuable water resources. Irrigation methods changed to sprinkling systems or drip systems, enabling farmers to efficiently irrigate land that was not level, bringing more farmland into production. Natural gas service was brought to Santaquin in 1954 and marked a majordevelopment in the modernization of the community.

With the construction of the steel plant at Geneva and the rapid growth in the Provo-Orem area to the north, many fruit farmers relocated to the Santaquin area.

Large orchards were planted, replacing wheat fields and pasture land. The construction of huge cold storage facilities for the fruit created many jobs in the community. Another boost to the economy and population came in 1968 with the completion of Interstate 15 through the town.

Myron V. Olson, compiler, “Give Me This Mountain, A History of the Santaquin Utah Stake” (1984).

Santaquin Library History L

ibrary service in Santaquin began at least as far back as 1940 when, according to a book called “Santaquin Through the Years” written in 1959, an elementary school teacher named Yetta Richan started a library.

It opened on April 2, 1940 and was housed in two different locations until it was placed in the old library room at the Santaquin City Offices in the early nineties where it was used for about ten years. The city then purchased the first L.D.S. church in Santaquin, renovated it, and moved the library there in 2002. The building is four times larger than the city office location and has a high barrel vault ceiling and gothic windows that make it beautiful and unique. Public use of the library increased immediately and has continued to grow each year.

Santaquin Library provides the area with most services relative to learning and the enjoyment of reading.

MISSION STATEMENT

Santaquin City Library

The mission of the Santaquin City Library is to provide a pleasant, service oriented environment with diverse collections and literacy programs for all individuals to expand their love for reading and learning.

The Library is also dedicated to providing equitable and continuing access to information for all citizens of the community.

Flag Design Considerations

In looking for a new flag for Santaquin City,

leaders looked to experts for what a good flag design looks like.

The Five Basic Principles of Flag Design 1. Keep It Simple

The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.

2. Use Meaningful Symbolism

The flag’s images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.

3. Use 2-3 Basic Colors

Limit the number of colors on the flag to three, which contrast well and come from the standard color set.

4. No Lettering or Seals

Never use writing of any kind or an organization’s seal.

5. Be Distinctive or Be Related

Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.

For more information on flag design principles read Ted Kaye’s Good Flag Bad Flag, or watch the Ted Talk “Why city flags may be the worst-designed thing you’ve never noticed.”

Please note, the Ted Talk contains some Adult Language, but is a good source of context for city flags and flag design.

In Memorium-Flag Raising F

itting for a Labor Day, our hard working and beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, husband, and friend Myron Vivan Olson passed away September 7, 2015, in Santaquin, Utah.

He was born over 95 years ago on December 20, 1919, in Santaquin, to Vivan Joseph and Ada Naomi (York) Olson, he married Ethel Virginia Walin in Chicago, Illinois, on May 11, 1946, their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti LDS Temple. Ethel passed away October 2, 2005, and he married Bonnie Joyce Clement Kay on February 12, 2011.

Myron and Ethel raised five children: Michael (Nanette) Olson, Santaquin; Karen Virginia Wilson Taylor (deceased); Deanne (Bill) VanAusdal, Phoenix, Arizona; Dan (Cauleen) Olson, Santaquin; and Scott (Sherilee) Olson, Morgan, Utah.

He loved and adored and was in return loved and adored by twenty-two grandchildren, forty-nine great-grandchildren, and one

great great-grandchild.

As one of the greatest generation, Myron served in the United States Army from October 13, 1941, through December 24, 1945, in the Pacific Theater of World War II. He became a founding member of the Santaquin American Legion, was instrumental in helping to establish the Veteran’s Memorial at the Santaquin City Cemetery and in obtaining a World-War-IIera Howitzer for placement west of the entrance to what is now the Santaquin Chieftain Museum. He was honored to be Grand Marshal for the Santaquin City Celebration in 2005, and his love for farming led to his naming a procession of farm tractors for the Grand Marshal’s Choice Award.

He graduated from Payson High School in1938 and helped build the “P” on the mountain east of Payson High School.

During his youth, he worked for the Civilian Conservation Corps, and especially enjoyed sign making. He was known for his calligraphy

The Myron Olson Family and handwriting skills.

Myron worked as a Steelworker for Geneva Steel in Orem, loved gardening and growing fruit trees, loved the great outdoors, including hunting and fishing, and was an excellent marksman his entire life.

He helped compile and write a history of the Santaquin-Tintic Stake: “Give Me This Mountain,” and is a direct descendant of early pioneers in Santaquin, living long enough to have spoken with people who had crossed the plains and then witnessing the turbulence and wonders

of the Twentieth Century and early Twenty-First Century.

He served in many capacities in the LDS Church, including Sunday school, Elders Quorum, bishopric, ward and stake clerks, stake historian, and Provo Temple ordinance worker.

He spent his life in service to others and was a friend to all. He was a kind and generous man who freely and so often shared friendship, love, and the bounties of his crops with friends and family alike.

Thank you for your service Myron, You will truly be missed!

Volunteer of the Month S

antaquin continues the “Volunteer of the Month” program. With all the wonderful volunteers in the community, city officials want to recognize them and their efforts. A small committee works together to learn about the volunteers and submit names to the Mayor for consideration. Those selected are presented to the public at a City Council meeting. They are awarded a certificate and gift basket that evening.

September 2019 Volunteer of the Month - Macie Steele

Macie Steele is our September 2019 Volunteer of the Month. Macie is always willing to help with any of the events that the city hosts. She is in charge of the Children’s Parade and Family Night for Orchard Days. She has made those events bigger and better each year. In 2019 she coordinated the teen dance for Orchard Days as well, which was a great success. She was also the Easter Bunny at our Easter Egg Hunt this year. She always has a positive upbeat attitude that radiates to those around her. She is full of energy- even with twins who were premature! Thank you Macie, for your volunteer efforts on behalf of our community!

October 2019 Volunteer of the Month - Waylon Pruitt Waylon Pruitt is our Orchard Days Car Show Chairman and Volunteer of the Month for October 2019. He works very hard to make sure that every detail is attended to which makes the Car Show a fun family event for our community. He has chaired the event for the past 3 years. He starts contacting the numerous sponsors in January each year and then spends the next several months collecting the donations. The tangible donations are raffled off the day of the show which generates additional proceeds. 100% of the proceeds are donated to charity each year. In 2018 the funds were given to the Make A Wish Foundation to help four children. This year the proceeds were given to the Primary Children’s Hospital for four different families. His wife Heather helps him each year with the treasury duties and collecting donations. He is a father to 2 children and has lived in Santaquin for about six years. Waylon stated that he does the car show for the kids in the city to show them that if they work hard, they can accomplish their dreams. Waylon is described by our Recreation employees as having a bottomless heart and great passion for the Car Show. Thank you Waylon, for all your hard work to make the Car Show a success.

November 2019 Volunteer of the Month – Ted Roy Ted Roy is our November Volunteer of the Month. He is regularly seen walking along Summit Ridge Parkway picking up trash, pulling weeds, speaking a kind word to fellow walkers and waving hello to motorists. In fact, for the past little while, he has been seen on his hands and knees cutting out weeds along the road that were poisoned by our public works crew. His goal was to make the Parkway look as nice as possible for the Grand Opening of the road extension. When asked why he spends time giving service in this manner, he said he feels it is his civic responsibility.

When Mr. Roy was younger, he spent time serving on the sheriff ’s posse and the sheriff ’s rescue team while his profession was school teacher to children and teens. He has six children and his five boys have all received their Eagle Scout Award, which makes each one a 4th generation Eagle Scout.

Mr. Roy would like to start a campaign called Weed Angels which would focus on teaching children how to beautify their community by doing a little bit each day, such as pulling a few weeds or picking up trash on their way to the park. He is dedicated to beautifying our community and very much appreciated by all who live in Summit Ridge. Thank you for your service Mr. Roy! AGES 3 AND UP COME JOIN THE

SANTAQUIN | www.santaquin.org

Volunteer of the Month December 2019 Volunteer of the Month - Kalei and Dave Robbins The Robbins are great examples of the volunteer spirit. Dave, a lifelong resident, and his wife Kalei and their four boys have been running the Squash Head 4-H Sheep Showmanship Program in Santaquin for the past 6 years. Children between the ages of 8 and 18 are invited to participate in the program and they are taught how to feed, lead, shear, wash, and present the animals at several shows before they are sold. To help offset program expenses, Kalei and Dave approach local businesses to participate in a booster program to sponsor the children. Their Squash Head 4-H Petting Zoo has become a main attraction during our city Orchard Days Celebration.

Because many children do not live in areas where livestock are allowed, the Robbins allow the lambs to be raised on their family farm. The participants are taught money management skills to help the program be successful in future years. There is also a garden on the farm property that the 4-H students learn how to cultivate. After a successful harvest, the food is then donated to our local assisted living centers. On top of these volunteer efforts, Kalei is the Young Farmer and Ranchers Chair and Dave is the Vice President of the Utah County Farm Bureau. Their hope is that these efforts can advocate to our future generations the importance of agriculture. A big thank you to Dave and Kalei for their volunteer efforts in helping our children learn valuable life skills and promoting our agricultural heritage.

January 2020 Volunteer of the Month – Ross Williams Ross has never met a stranger. He has a special gift for relating to anyone to find their story. He has always been this way. He is often found pulled over helping someone in need, paying for someone’s dinner or buying someone much needed groceries. His willingness to always help, in situations that aren’t “pretty service opportunities”, is inspiring.

During his 20 years as a law enforcement and parole officer he was seen doing many things quietly to serve those he was connected with, through his job. Making sure their kids had clothes, making sure they had somewhere warm to sleep and helping them find jobs so they could learn to help themselves. In the winter, he is often found on his 4-wheeler making sure all of his neighbor’s driveways are clear of snow. He has spent many years helping to coach wrestling and other sports and activities that his kids were involved with in the community. He’s the kind of guy you are glad to call a friend.

Volunteer of the Month March 2020 Volunteer of the Month - Chelsea Rowley Chelsea moved to Santaquin 14 years ago when she married her husband Rhet, who claimed it was impossible for a Rowley to leave Santaquin. They take pride in raising their four sons in an agricultural community, and are advocates for protecting that heritage. Chelsea loves being involved in the community and getting to know everyone. She is always working to support her neighbors, whether it’s watching their kids, taking over a meal, or networking together to accomplish a bigger goal.

Hundreds of Santaquin’s youth have been taught by Chelsea through her church callings. She can often be found at Santaquin Elementary helping shape their educational experience by guest lecturing, gathering animals for farm day, helping in the class, making copies, feeding teachers, decorating doors, organizing chess club, recruiting volunteers, or guiding school decisions through School Community Council.

Chelsea just finished a two year term on City Council, and is entering her third year on Santaquin’s Library Board. She felt prompted to start a non-profit called The Lilly Pad Project, which makes bereavement kits for stillborn babies. Through the support of our amazing community, she has been able to deliver 275 kits to hospitals throughout Utah. As the need for this service continues to grow, she is always in need of volunteers and seamstresses. Anyone who would like to know more, or become involved in The Lilly Pad Project, can contact her at chelsea@lillypadproject.org. Congratulations Chelsea and thank you for your volunteer work in our city!

May 2020 Volunteer of the Month - The Dinosaurs Our May Volunteer of the Month recognition goes to a group of eight-year-old boys who have taken on the self-proclaimed name of “Dinosaurs”. This group of boys meet twice a month to have fun and learn principles of character. Each has a unique personality but as a whole they are very united.

For one of their projects, they chose to clean up the litter along the side of the street. “Just because I didn’t leave it behind, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t pick it up” became their motto. They shared that taking care of planet earth right here in Santaquin was a fun and fulfilling project to do. Surprisingly, no one in the group had heard of Woodsy Owl that says, “Give a hoot, don’t pollute!” From the looks of it though, these young Dinosaurs do “give a hoot!” The Dinosaurs also plastered three of their neighbor’s doors on Valentine’s Day this year with hearts and kind sayings, just because it was a nice thing to do. Thank you, Dinosaurs, for setting a great example of the volunteer spirit in Santaquin City.

July 2020 Volunteer of the Month Santaquin Mask Sewing Santaquin Mask Sewing is a group that started on Facebook at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. It was formed to bring together sewers, cutters, suppliers, and deliverers to provide local first responders and caregivers with face masks, in the south part of Utah County. The group has been able to construct over 400 masks! The group consists of about 100 women in Santaquin but there were key players in the group that did much of the work.

Kathleen Provstgaard saw a need in the area and contacted Rachel Cook who then helped form the group and coordinate the project.

Rachel was instrumental in keeping the group going and she also created 3D Masks to donate. There were many others such as Natalie Hughes who spent a lot of time helping figure out the best way to make fabric masks and how to get supplies. When enough people were not sewing, she texted and called individuals. She asked them to sew 5-10 masks each and she got the ball rolling.

Another wonderful helper was Andrea Lloyd. She has sewn almost 200 masks alone. Chyann Kindschy also made many masks and tons of bias tape. Bliss Blackburn was there in the beginning and helped get the group going as well. All these women and many more have truly shown what it means to be a volunteer and have blessed the lives of many people in our community. Thank you for sharing your talents with those who have been on the front line of this pandemic.

Employees of the Month S

antaquin starts the “Employee of the Month” program. With all the wonderful employees in the community, city officials want to recognize them and their efforts. A small committee works together to learn about the employees and submit names to the Mayor for consideration. Those selected are presented to the public at a City Council meeting. They are awarded a certificate and gift basket that evening.

Employee of the Month February 2020 Leisure Services Department-Hayden Mageno Hayden is an office clerk for the Recreation Department. She is our swiss army knife and does a variety of things to help the Department, including being the front line with customer service, registering recreation participants, helping with special events, site supervisor for sports and also recording minutes for the Recreation Board and Museum Board. We appreciate Hayden’s willingness to be such a great team player!

Employee of the Month April 2020 Taylor Sutherland – April 7th Council Meeting Taylor Sutherland is our April Employee of the Month. He was nominated for this recognition because of his outstanding work in our Fire Department as our Fire Code Officer, which can be a very unpopular responsibility. In his role he works directly with the Code Review Committee and the Development Review Committee, he signs off on Plan Reviews, does Life Safety Inspections and signs off on Business Licenses. He handles his responsibilities with utmost professionalism. He has a willing attitude and is always looking for ways to serve within his department and otherwise.

Taylor grew up in Santaquin and has spent many years in the military and currently serves with the Army Reserve Unit as a Military Police Officer. Thank you Taylor, for being a great example to all of our staff and citizens with your dedicated service. You deserve this recognition.

Employee of the Month – June 2020 Jenna Worthen Jenna Worthen is Santaquin City’s June 2020 Employee of the Month. She is our Police Department’s Administrative Assistant. Jenna has been with the city for about six years. She started working with the city as a part-time recreation clerk but transferred to the police department after a short period of time and then was promoted into a full-time position. When asked, Jenna explains that she loves being in the police department because it feels like being with family. All the officers and staff in the department have each other’s backs and treat one another with respect. She also enjoys the daily challenge of the job.

Jenna’s position is centralized to the department and she is fantastic at keeping things organized and running smoothly. She acts as the liaison between the police department and the public, attorneys, state and federal agencies, and other city departments. Chief Hurst shares, “Jen is not a just a spoke in the wheel but the actual hub that keeps the wheel moving forward. Her work ethic and skill set attract a lot of professional attention from other agencies and other city departments. Despite more lucrative offers, Jen has chosen to remain loyal to the police department. On a personal level, she is the type of woman you hope your daughters grow up to be like and the kind of woman you hope your son would marry.”

Jenna and her husband Carter have lived in Santaquin for the past four years. She grew up in Spokane, Washington, lived in Brazil for 18 months while serving a mission, then met and married her husband at BYU. They have one sweet little boy.

Thanks for being such a great employee for Santaquin City Jenna!
