“This is the first time we’ll be starting school in four years that construction hasn’t been signifi cant challenge facing our school,” Brighton High Principal Tom Sherwood said. “Construction is done except for a few loose ends. The new school is amazing. I feel like the architects and the contractors did a fantastic job taking advantage of the location of Brighton and trying to showcase the views from every angle perched on the bench. I feel like it’s a wonderful place for students to learn and also to en joy the beauty of the valley, the mountains and the world around them. It’s really a great architectural achievement.”Therebuild of the school on the same site over the past couple years are just down to the adjust ments in carpentry, flooring, cabinetry, electrical and signage, “but all major construction is complete,” he said, adding that he expects those items to be wrapped up in Sherwood2022.said he appreciates the building’s design.“Our building takes exceptional advantage of natural light; I really think that that’s important. I think it aids in learning. I think it aids in moods. I think it helps with students’ social-emotional well-being to be in the presence of natural light,” he said. “I also like the feeling of our school, the hall ways. It has a much more open and airy space. I also like our design of our classrooms and the flexible learningThespaces.”library is amongst his favorite parts of the new school.“That turned out amazing. The library has amazing views; it has great light and it’s very student friendly. They did a beautiful job,” he said. The plaza has been a gathering place for stu dents, including tailgating before football games this fall, and the field house has relieved the demand on gym scheduling for off-season sports practices, Sher woodThesaid.new design also has allowed for improved security with better vision of students, patrons and visitors with non-circular halls, a secure office which has visibility of parking lots and other measures, he added.The cost of the new school came in at $118.6 million, said Canyons Chief Financial Officer and Business Administrator Leon Wilcox. Sherwood said it was good foresight to build the high schools with the new bond first because it “probably saved them tens of millions of dollars as construction costs skyrocketed during this project. It would probably be in the neighborhood of $200 mil lion today for the exact same project to be completed four years in the future. We have a tremendous value because of the timeframe and a fantastic new school that benefits our students.”

“I just can't say enough about Salt Lake Acupuncture Clinic,” Frankie shared through tears of joy. “My husband and I moved here three years ago and he's gone hiking almost everyday. I always stayed home because of the pain and discomfort. Yesterday I went hiking with him! And next week we're starting ballroom dance lessons. I am truly living life these days.”
Scott of Salt Lake Acupuncture Clinic in Sandy shares this belief. “I’ve been treating neuropathy, in all its various forms, for over five years and so often my patients come to me because of the symptoms, not because of a diagnosis. They saw one of my print ads, or read the testimonial of another patient and say to themselves, ‘hey, I feel the same thing’.” Frankie M. of Draper testified to this. “I remember my husband driving me to my consultation and I saw a woman running just outside our neighborhood. I was so envious I just kept thinking ‘I would give anything just to walk again’. My primary care doctor told me my troubles with pain and balance were just symptoms of old age and gave me a prescription. I was so depressed." Fortunately Frankie would eventually hear from a friend, who was experiencing similar symptoms, about Dr. Scott and how she offers a real solution at Salt Lake Acupuncture Clinic. "I just knew I had to see her. She was my last hope.” “Almost all of our patients come to us with a story similar to Frankie's. They've been everywhere else. They've been told there's no hope. They've been told 'it's just part of getting older’,” shares Dallin, a Patient Care Coordinator at Salt Lake Acupuncture Clinic. “It just breaks my heart but I know how much we can help people like Frankie, so I'm always so happy when they walk through our door. ”
If you or someone you love is suffering from chronic pain that presents as burning, tingling or ‘pins and needles’ or you've recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy, it's important to know that there are options. There is hope! Call (801) 477 7966 to schedule an initial consultation or visit SLCacu.com.
By seamlessly blending the ancient science of acupuncture with modern medical solutions, Dr. Scott has achieved a 90% success rate in reversing the effects of neuropathy. She starts each patient with an initial consultation, during which a sensory exam is performed. “This not only aids in making a proper diagnosis but it helps to define just how much nerve damage has occurred,” explains Dr. Scott. “This is important because if a patient has suffered more than 95% damage, there is little that I can do to help them. I'm familiar with the medical miracle but I know my limits as a practitioner and the limits of my medicine.

When it comes to treating peripheral neuropathy, regardless of its origin, early detection greatly improves your chances of a full recovery.
Peripheral Neuropathy Breakthrough!
Peripheral neuropathy is a result of damage to the nerves and this damage is commonly caused by lack of blood flow in the hands and feet. A lack of blood flow results in a lack of nutrients; the nerves then begin to degenerate and die which causes pain ranging from discomfort to debilitating. Because neuropathy is a degenerative condition, once those nerves begin to deteriorate they will continue to do so until they are completely expired, leaving those suffering with crippling balance issues. “In this case, the absence of pain is not necessarily a good thing," shares Dr. Scott. “This usually indicates that your nerves are hanging on by a fragile thread.”
“My feet feel like they're on fire.” “Each step feels like I'm walking through wet paint. ” “I live in constant fear that I’ll fall.” “I can't sleep, my hands and feet tingle all night.” What do all of these people have in common? They suffer from peripheral neuropathy. It's estimated that more than 20 million people in the United States have peripheral neuropathy. Unfortunately this figure may be significantly higher as the disease is often misdiagnosed because of its wide array of Dr.symptoms.Stephanie
According to Frankie’s test results, she has seen a 74% improvement in pain and functionality, which is on par with a majority of our patients,” shares Dallin. “But more important than those test results
Those diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy often face a very grim reality; Western medicine declares that there is no solution while most alternative therapies carry large price tags and offer little to no resolve. Which is why Dr. Scott and the staff at Salt Lake Acupuncture Clinic pride themselves on being ‘the last resort with the best results’.
So how exactly is Dr. Scott able to reverse the effects of this degenerative disease? “Acupuncture has been used to increase blood flow for thousands of years which helps to get the necessary nutrients to the affected nerves. But the real magic happens when I integrate ATP Resonance BioTherapy™. This is tech that was originally developed by NASA to expedite recovering and healing."

“I'm actually quite excited. I get a meet with educa tional leaders in Washington, possibly even the secretary of education and other educational leaders and talk about the state of education,” he said. Jameson had a chance after the celebration to read the application that was submitted on his behalf. “When I got to read the application that was submit ted, I was like, ‘Holy cow. Who is this guy? He's real ly impressive.’ Dr. Kau is a very good writer and very smart. I'm really just an average guy who had a very good packet writer,” he said, quick, as usual, to share the spotlight. “The application is pretty honest. I really liked that part of it because I think sometimes when you have
“I walked into the gym, and there are all the students and several principals from the UAESP, my family was there, the superintendent and (Canyons Board of Educa tion Vice President) Steve Wrigley. I was just like, ‘Oh my gosh, thumbs up.’ They had a banner for me, and it was kind of a fun. It caught me off guard,” he said. It was a good day for the Jameson family as his daughter, Carissa, also was named senior class president at her high school. “It was really neat to share the excitement of the day with her,” Jameson said. “Receiving this honor was such a big deal. Even before I got the state award, when I was a finalist, the PTA threw a surprise indoor parade for me, and the kids threw candy and wrote me a bunch of notes. I had a note from basically every kid in the school.”
Now, Jameson will represent the state at the National Elementary Principal Association conference in October and be considered for the national honor.

“He was selected as the Canyons Elementary Princi pal of the Year and he didn't tell anybody,” Kau said. “I heard about it the second week of March and I emailed a congratulations and asked, ‘what’s next?’ Mr. Jameson deflected the attention, saying he didn’t have time and didn’t feel right about applying for an award. I understood his viewpoint because this last school year was the most difficult of all three years of the pandemic by leaps and bounds and there was so much to do. But just from what I've seen, over the past four years, his leadership style and the things that he's been able to accomplish, and more im portantly, the things people around him are able to accom plish because he sets a fostering, positive environment. I told him, ‘You got to give it a shot.’ When he said he didn’t have time, I knew I was going to submit something because we appreciate all his efforts and all that he does, and his leadership style.” She reached out to other parents, faculty, principals and administrators, and with their help, submitted James on’s 26-page application in half the time as his competi tion.“His reach is so far. People were helpful and willing, and said, ‘he’s so deserving of this,’” Kau said. Jameson didn’t realize his application was being written for him. “I didn't know she was doing this until she finally said, ‘I have to ask you a few questions because there's a few final things on the packet that I can't answer.’ At this point since she put so much work into it, I answered the questions. I felt very appreciated and loved from her and all the people had helped with it. I thought, ‘this is so very nice of a thing to do’ and genuinely was touched, but that was all,” he said.
Jameson best principal in state, will represent Utah nationally

In mid-May, about 575 neighborhood and Spanish dual immersion Alta View students and faculty, Canyons administrators and UAESP members surprised Jameson in the school multipurpose room with the state award.
That’s because after learning about it, parent volun teer and School Community Council member Dr. Allyn Kau found the application online and with the help of faculty and parents, completed and submitted the applica tion, much of it unknown to Jameson.

s e P t . 2022 | Page 5C ottonwood H eig H ts J ournal . C om someone who wins an award, you view them as you know perfect. Then the real ity is people get to places because they've had a lot of failures. They've had a lot of challenges. They've had a lot of struggle, and through those struggles and challeng es and failures, they learn something and become better. So, I liked the way she showed my flaws and how we had to kind of work through and overcome challenges that came up, like listening to all sides of things to reach a consensus. I know I'm not perfect by any means and I know there's one million other people who are proba bly far more deserving of an award like this than I do, but it's fun to kind of reflect back, including the bumps and the bruises. Those things were tough at the time, but at the same time, that's what's helped me to learn and become a better principal.” After 25 years—18 as an administra tor, Jameson said he still wants to become a better listener. “I am not a natural listener and I real ly struggle with it,” he said, and tells the story of sitting on the couch, listening to his wife. “I got on my phone and started doing something—and I stopped listening to my wife. My wife got up, walked off. She was gone for 15 minutes before I no ticed she was gone. That's a true story. So, I have to really work at listening and that's what I found is probably the most import ant skill I could have is listening to ev erybody. You have to listen to people that have different perspectives. If you listen to everybody, you can actually make really good decisions and while every decision won’t go the way everyone wants, they’ll respect you for listening to them. So, I tell people, ‘my door is open, come in and tell me what you're actually thinking.’ I don’t want them to tell everybody, but me, but rather to come in and tell me so we can work through it. That’s what I’ve learned and tried to practice all these years. When I listen to others, we make great decisions. If I don't listen and ignore things, people stop talking and then that's when you make terrible decisions—and I did some of that earlier in my career.”
Kau, who wrote Jameson’s most sig nificant accomplishment as a principal is to build relationships and develop lead ers—“He recognizes that with strong relationships, anything can be accom plished”—said she was unaware of that Jameson wasn’t a natural listener. “I’ve just seen firsthand what a great leader he has been. His style is not flashy; he definitely never draws attention to him self. He’s more of getting to know people, understanding what the needs are, under standing his staff and what their strengths are and listening to them. Most of the changes that have been implemented in the past three or four years, were suggestions that came to him. It was a parent that had a concern. It was a teacher who had an idea and then he listened, and he gave them the support they needed to develop it. There are so many different examples, and it wasn't because Mr. Jameson had the ideas. It was because he listened and had created the environment where other people who had those ideas could flourish,” she said. Canyons Director of School Perfor mance Alice Peck supported that trait in her letter of “Relationshipsrecommendation.areatthe core of what Scott does and the results are evident in the work he is able to accomplish. He has the ability to ask the right questions when presented with an important task. His will ingness to listen; to collaboratively search for possible solutions; and to focus on the essential implementation steps is outstand ing,” she wrote. “I also know that Scott values relationships and will do whatev er it takes to help our district become as collaborative as we possibly can be as we work to improve student outcomes.” Jameson, whom many students love for his sharing one of their jokes each school day on the morning announce ments—and alumni can recite even after their high school graduations, stayed out of much of the spotlight last year when he received the state Innovator of the Year Award last year for a program that has been in place for more than 15 years. “I developed a way to discipline that focuses more on reteaching when kids get office referrals; I call it citizenship class. This is even before I knew what PBIS (positive behavior interventions and sup ports) was,” he said, saying he started it in his first year as Altara Elementary’s prin cipal. “I hired my PTA president, and she ran the citizenship classes during lunch re cess. She would teach some lessons, such as why we don’t call people names. She’d ask, ‘why don't we do this?’ and give them things we could do instead. It’s a chance to reteach students and help them understand the expectations and learn how to best meet them. When a lesson wasn’t being taught, then she'd be out on the playground being preventative and coaching kids on the playground.”Jamesonalso has been honored as Canyons Student Advocate Principal of the Year and as Instructional Leader of the Year and has served on the district’s Lead ership Implementation Team. Utah PTA recognized him as both the region and state outstanding school administrator and back in his teaching days, the Southwest Valley Chamber of Commerce recognized his excellence in teaching. While Jameson doesn’t have any immediate plans for retirement, he has dreams of his future. “I thought about becoming a behavior unit teacher or aide because I know I could do that and then free the teacher up to be able to teach. I thought about becoming a Costco receipt checker. I thought about doing woodcarvings, with chainsaws and logs and carving bears. I don't know how to run a chainsaw and I've never sculpt ed anything, but I just think that's cool. I thought about opening a restaurant or be coming a Walmart greeter. I've been prac ticing, so when I walk into Walmart, I try to be faster at the draw saying, ‘Welcome to Walmart.’ I love smoking foods and put about anything on our smoker—pizza, macaroni and cheese, vegetables, any meat you can think of. My wife makes fun of me right now because we have four smokers and I realized the other day I didn't even know how to run our oven. I tried and I couldn't figure it out. I guess a career in baking is out for me, but maybe a job in the future as a smoker. I don’t know yet, and that’s OK, because I love where I’m at right now.”

Butlerville Days 2022 continues tradition of bringing community together
By Jolene Croasmun | j.croasmun@mycityjournals.com
Cottonwood Heights held its yearly city celebration, Butlerville Days, during the last, hot weekend in July. This year's theme was “Harvesting Gratitude” and based on the crowds and smiles it seemed to complete this goal.Held at Butler Junior High School’s field in Cottonwood Heights, a constant flow of people attended the three-day event. Ac tivities began on Thursday and continued through Saturday evening with many multi day activities like carnival rides, ice skating, the mayor’s pickleball tournament and boun cy houses. Saturday started early with yoga and continued with a parade, a car show and a fireworks finale. Throughout the day, food trucks and live entertainment were enjoyed by all.The first Butlerville Days began in 2005 and it has been a yearly tradition in Cotton wood Heights with the exception of 2020. It has the feel of an old-fashioned carnival with rides, including a Ferris wheel, and a chalk art contest.Whitney Dodge, a Butlerville Days committee member and past chalk art win ner, said, “I started out as a participant in the chalk art six years ago and won first place as a novice.” Dodge now runs the chalk art con test and this year she said, “We cracked the code. This is the biggest year for the chalk art contest with two full days to chalk.” Dodge said she loves that “the bouncy houses are free” and the variety of stuff to do “is just so much fun at this fair.”

A popular free attraction this year for kids and parents were inflatable bouncy houses. Newcomer to the Butlerville Days and Cottonwood Heights resident, Emily Taggart, was enjoying the day with her two kids ages 5 and 7. “My kids love the bounce houses and I appreciate the fact that they are free,” she said. The end of Butlerville Days concluded with the traditional fireworks display and Cottonwood Heights residents will brag that it was the best display of fire power in the valley. l

Resources Elementa ry Administrator and former East Midvale Principal Sally Sansom agrees: “When I came in, she was the first one who greet ed me with a ‘good morning’ and instantly, went out of her way to help—and she does that with Grahameveryone.”hasset a culture of warmth at the school since fall 1977, 12 years after the school opened. She began working at East Midvale when her 50-year-old son was a kindergartner, and she was offered a job from the principal.
Sansom said that while Graham is able to her job efficiently, she also finds time to “call a parent to check on a student who may have broken an arm to make sure he was OK, showing how much she cares. I don’t know if she knows how to juggle, but she juggles everything all the time.”
“We used to have to balance to the pen ny. Now with the new system, I just put it in my computer, and it balances it,” she said. “I learned so much on the job, just starting with learning how to use the computer to now, having meetings on Zoom. In some aspects of the job, we went from all handson to virtual. But not with the kids. We’re all hands-on, here for them.”
W hen school children walk in the doors of East Midvale Elementary, they’re likely embraced by administrative assis tant Charlotte Graham—figuratively and literally.“She's this familiar face to generations of parents so when they're bringing their kids or grandkids, they know her and that she’s a welcoming, inviting person who knows the community,” Principal Matt Nel son said. “She knows the families and she really cares about the school. It’s import ant that the first face, that first welcome, that first hello, is somebody that knows the school, the community, the history. It’s somebody they can lean on, and who is able to help. Our community appreciates that she lives right here in Midvale and is involved and has that connection. She has that loyalty to our families and our school, and ourCanyonscommunity.”Human
With a degree in bookkeeping from LDS Business College, Graham became a “jack of all trades,” as a lunch secretary, as sisting in a third-grade classroom and help ing the secretary in the main office using an IBM electric typewriter with carbon copies for teachers that left her fingers purple from the carbon“Whenpaper.Iwent to school, I wanted to be an accountant. But here I was helping all over the place and I absolutely loved it, Be ing the lunch secretary involved a lot of ac counting. We wrote kids’ names down, then we wrote when they brought in their money and which days they ate. I’d keep track of how much money they had leftover and I had to call and let parents know that they owed money or how much money they had left. It was a really long process,” she said. During the COVID-19 pandemic, East Midvale students ate free meals as they were covered by a federal grant. Previous ly, students just keyed in their identification numbers for meals, which would adjust their accounts, and that reduced the amount of clericalGrahamwork.also remembers entering at tendance when she started. “We had attendance sheets with lit tle bubbles, one through 10. I’d take them home and I go through the roll books and when a child was absent on that day, I’d blacken the bubble. That's how we did it then to know how many absences that child has that month. I had all these little bubbles to blacken over and over,” she said. That, too, has changed through the years.“It was a different world back then,” Graham said. “The bookkeeping has gone away from these big 3-foot journals with little screws in it to add pages and where I would have to write everything by hand first by pencil, then go back over it with black or red pens to balance it. And it was double-entered, so when I made a check, it would come out of the checkbook, then I'd have to write in which area it came from. We had a budget with the old system that I had to balance by hand. Now for anything we buy, I use the P card; it’s like a charge card and it’s tax exempt. I don't think I've written a check for maybe three years. I used to have a checkbook, then I’d have a printer that I printed the checks out. We don't do that anymore.”
After her first four years, East Mid vale’s first secretary retired so Graham took her job as her daughter started kindergar ten at the school. Graham’s duties have expanded so a full-time nurse was added taking much of the emergency care Graham handled with her first aid and CPR training. She also has part-time staff to help with attendance and student support assistance, tracking students’ birth and immunization records.“We’re one of the most diverse schools in the state of Utah. We have 16 different languages plus English,” she said, adding at the time they were expecting Ukrainian refugees to enroll at the school. “We had a few Spanish-speaking students when I first started here; we were just a little neighbor hood school. Our diversity increased when our boundaries included The Road Home (shelter) and we started getting refugees. That’s when we became a Title I school.”
The culture of the school community has extended with a food and clothing pan try to help students’ families as well as an after-school program that was established in 2011 to provide homework assistance and meals. Through the years, United Way also has helped provide backpacks filled with school supplies and other needs for the students for the school that Nelson said av erages a 32% turnover rate.

“I try to know every kid’s name,” Gra ham said. “It’s really important. We have 600 kids, and we have turnover and turnover because at The Road Home, they come and go so fast. We may have students a week, two weeks, maybe a couple of months and then they'll leave. We'll take them out of our system and then, sometimes, they'll come back. We have our neighborhood kids, and we have a number of refugees who now live here. We know we usually have these stu dents awhile because they get them homes and can live there for so many months. It makes it a great and diverse student body.”
Fifth-grade teacher Diana Caldwell has worked with Graham at the school 18 years.
“I volunteered almost every day and the principal at the time, Mr. Cottrell, asked me if I’d like a job, saying, ‘you’re here ev ery day anyway,’” she said. “I was part time for the first four years. I helped everywhere, and this was the good old days. We did ev erything by hand.”

While Graham still keeps track of the funds, the budget now is computerized. The large books have been shredded.
“Char knows everybody, and she cares about everybody,” Caldwell said. “The kids love Miss Char. Every kid loves Miss Char. She remembers kids that were here decades ago, and she knows about their lives. She wants them all to succeed. She can be tough with them, if she needs to be tough. She’ll be kind to them, and she’ll be fair. She just

Through the years as thousands of stu dents have stopped at her desk, Graham re mains consistently upbeat.
“I try to be positive at all times,” she said. “Growing up, my dad always used to say, ‘Just because you're in a bad mood, it's not their fault. Don't be mad and mean.’ So, I would like to see that happen with lots of kids—to be more positive. I’m here to help these kids, many who have a hard life and that breaks my heart. So, the least I can do is be positive for them.”
“We've had some pretty good programs and we’re getting back to them now,” she said, referring to the absence of school events during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We're getting back now to field trips, too, and that's really important; it gives our stu dents opportunities. I help with that too— enter the field trips, transportation and all.”
“The principal’s office used to be right here in the front of the building with that beautiful view. I’m on my 17th principal now. We didn’t have assistant principals until we became a Title I school,” she said, adding the school’s first assistant principal was in Graham’s2011. commitment to education goes beyond her school as she serves on the Utah Association of Educational Of fice Professionals board, is the secretary/ treasurer for Canyons’ education support professionals association and took minutes during the negotiation committee during the Jordan-Canyons school district split that took place more than one decade ago. “I'm very involved in Midvale; this is my home,” she said. Through the years, Graham served on the city’s arts council, was the director for Miss Midvale, helped with Harvest Days, volunteered at summer concerts in the park and is the field director for Miss Utah. “She’s really service-oriented,” Nelson said. “She’s super friendly and will walk a family to a classroom or help them get something. Her service and willingness to help extends beyond working with organi zations. She’ll just stop and do anything for anybody.”Sansom can testify to that. When San som’s sister needed her cats delivered to her after moving to New York City, Graham was up for the job.
Graham also knows her community’s history having built her house across the street from the school when the area was unincorporated and was being determined if it would be part of Midvale or Murray. The school, which was the second school built in Midvale, had been called Twin Peaks in its initial conception.
Over the past four decades, Graham has seen two school remodels, one in the 1980s when walls were installed in the open-classroom building, and another, more recently, where the office was moved to the front of the building to best serve pa trons. It also has a secure entrance.
The school also has embraced its di versity, hosting an annual Living Traditions event since 2008 that celebrates different ethnicities and cultures, encouraging stu dents to share their backgrounds and her itage. Often, community groups come to perform from their culture as well.
“We had these two big cats—19 pounds and 21 pounds—and Char said she’d fly to New York with me to deliver them,” Sansom said. Graham remembers the opportunity. “We strapped cats in, and we took off to New York. I have never been to New York before, so we took in sights. It was really fun.”Sansom pointed out that before they got there, Graham took a cat out on the plane to give it some love. “The guy next to her started freak ing out, but then she started talking to him. She can make friends anywhere. We hailed a taxi to explore New York and she was best friends with the cabbie. Then she made friends at Starbucks, or I should say, ‘Char-bucks,’” she said, adding that when she’s traveled with Graham and others to Wendover and Las Vegas, “Char always turns it into the ‘fun bus.’ She knows how to have fun and laugh at silly things that hap pen, but at work, she still keeps her focus and keeps the office staff working togeth er. My three kids were like everyone else’s kids who went to the school. Char just takes them under her wings as a loving person and helps them grow. Years later, she still cares. She’s the heart of the school. She’s one of the best things about East Midvale.” Having the ability to bring people to gether is something Nelson appreciates as well.“She’s a hard worker and gets along with everyone. She keeps track of every thing, but she’s always keeping things pos itive and light, cracking jokes with people she knows,” he said. “She just loves this school and this community and makes this a really, really great place to be.”
“It had been designed as Twin Peaks Elementary on the plans because you can see the twin peaks in the mountains. But at the last minute they changed it and named it East Midvale,” she said, adding that the town hadn’t been named Midvale at that point.One year later, Granite School District used the name Twin Peaks for its elementa ry that opened in Murray. At age 73, Graham said she’s often sees grandchildren of former students. Her own two grandkids also attended East Mid vale.“Sometimes I have to say ‘remind me of your name,’ because they’ve grown up and changed or they’re wearing a mask, and that’s hard to recognize them. When I hear the name, I know who they are. I just had a lady in here yesterday, and she said that she was so-and-so’s daughter. Of course, I remember her mother; she was a great vol unteer.”Graham isn’t slowing down nor think ing of sitting on a rocking chair on her porch to watch the students go to East Mid vale without her. “I come from a really hard-working family. I'm of the opinion when you retire home and sit, you lose everything and you get dementia,” she said. “I love the school. This is my home away from home. These kids are my family.” This is the last of three profiles spot lighting long-time Canyons School District employees. l

If there's a problem that I have, I can go and talk to her, and she can give me some suggestions on how to fix it; she knows the workings of the school and district and who to talk to or who to call. Every school needs a MissNelsonChar.”said that since so many people in the community know Graham, they feel at ease with their students being enrolled at the school.“They already have good rapport with Char; there is already a connection, so it eases their worries to have their students go somewhere where people know your name. It sounds cheesy, but it definitely matters,” he said. “We pride ourselves on being a welcoming school for people to come bring their kids to learn. She's a huge part of that.”

The Draper Elementary students are among the 17,000 Utah students who compete at the school level. Students then can advance with an award of excellence to the council or regional level before those winners continue to state and possibly, nationals.
Each year, more than 300,000 students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade national ly create original works of art in response to a student-selected theme. This program, which is more than 50 years old, is designed to give students a way to express their own thoughts through artistic ability in dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts.

Before she burst in the doors to tell her mother what she was doing, she already enlisted the help of her two friends, Kenedey Anderson and Jackie Woodward to join her. “She came home that day and was like, ‘I’m doing Reflections and I've asked Jackie and Kenedey to be in it. I have this whole plan of how to make the world better,’” her moth er, Ellie Seaborn, said adding that in the video, they recycle, they pick up trash and help plants grow “so the world will be more beautiful.” Mia’s jazz dance video, “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” expressed her way of matching the theme, “I will change the world by….” Her excitement grew as she developed the dance and performed it with her friends, who she has done multiple activities with, including tumbling and soccer, despite Jackie being in a wheelchair.“Ilike to dance,” Mia said, adding that she began at age 3 and knows several styles of dance. “I wanted to show all kinds of ways we can helpMia’sout.”dance choreography video was not only the best in the state for kindergart ners through second-graders, but she also was crowned national champion. She was surprised by a banner and balloons in her classroom and quickly had her two best friends join in the cel ebration.“Ihadn’t done Reflections before; it was my first time,” she said. “I’d tell anyone to do it. It’s a lot of fun.” Her mother was on hand for the an nouncement.“It’sreally fun and it’s a really great mem ory for her and her two best friends to be able to do this together,” Seaborn said. “It started out with ‘let’s do something fun’ and now, it’s just ending with another fun moment.” Her principal Christy Waddell said that the dance was “creatively made by a great stu dent who was a darling to get her friends in volved and just excited from the get-go when the theme was introduced.”
Draper Elementary Reflections Chair Melarie Wheat was proud of all the students’ entries.“I’m super proud of all the kids who worked hard and did a great job,” she said. “As a volunteer, it was fun to see their videos and artwork. It’s so rewarding.”

“I was competing against the best of the best,” she said, as each state was allowed to send their top candidate in the contest to compete nationally. “I was a little bit nervous, but I was ready. I approached it, honestly, as I'm doing this for myself to see what I can do so I was more excited.”
In her presentation, Barrus outlined her leadership and high school experiences such as five years on the mountain biking team, including being captain her senior year; her presidency in both FCCLA and in Cottonwood’s Nation al Honors Society; her internship at a nearby elementary school; and her part-time jobs. She also included how she’d like to bring a FCCLA chapter to a Native American reservation since currently there isn’t one and it’s part of her heritage. Barrus plans to attend the University of Oregon in early education, rooming in the Native American and Indigenous Studies academic residential community.
A2022 Cottonwood High graduate compared her leader ship skills to a budding flower, which helped her blos som into the top 10 nationally in a national competition.
FCCLA is a club associated with family consumer sci ences and helps youth expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life, such as planning, goal-setting, deci sion-making and interpersonal communication.
Georgia Barrus was recognized as one of the top 10 nationwide in the leadership contest at this past summer’s Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America confer ence, which attracted more than 7,100 students, advisers and educators to San Diego.

“My theme was what really stuck with people. I’d say that in freshman year I was a little seed in the ground. And judges asked questions like ‘what did you learn during the presentation?’ Or ‘what did you learn from being a leader?’ Or ‘how would you improve?’ Those are pretty easy to re flect on. I talked about in my presentation that after I gradu ated, I learned that it’s vital to being a leader is to reflect on yourself every week. It's really important that you improve.”

As a token of appreciation, Jordan School District 2022 graduates Kate Wil liams and Miranda Clegg, who have been a part of unified cheer with Forever Athlet ics for the past five years, presented Har mon with a Utah Special Olympics jersey that the team worn at the Special Olympics USA Games, with the slogan, “Shine as 1” on theWilliamsback. and Clegg both volunteered to tell Harmons’ customers about Special Olympics during the selling of root beer floats back in March. “It was really awesome, but my feet hurt; it was tiring,” Williams recalled. “I like getting to do cheer. I like the pom poms and when we do the jumps and stunts.”Clegg said that she was able to tell them about her experiences with cheer leading and making friends. “I liked talking to people and they asked me about Special Olympics,” she said, adding that now she has transitioned to help coach the team. “It’s been a lot of fun and I’ve made a lot of friends. I’ve been able to help coach since I’ve been there cheering, I have that perspective.”

Weaver said the bonds people make through Special Olympics is what makes it memorable.Through his 42 years of being in volved with Special Olympics, he’s made unforgettable friendships, starting when he was in college, meeting 7-year-old Buddy. “I just connected with him and that became my connection with the disabled community,” he said, adding that because of that bond, he changed his major from forestry to therapeutic recreation and spe cial education.Weaverwent on to play and coach a unified softball team in 1986-7, then he formed lasting friendships with his unified double tennis player Gary and unified cy cling race partner Jeff. “I've had friendships with them for about 20-25 years now,” he said. “It’s the people that make such an impact, the sup port and connections we have that make all the difference.” l
W hen Randy and Bob—the faces of the Harmons Grocery Stores—were in elementary school, their mother agreed to host three Special Olympics athletes who were to compete the next day at the University of Utah.
In addition to the Forever Athletics cheer team, members of the Oquirrh Thun der community team showed their appre ciation to Harmon for supporting Special Olympics.Mountain Creek ninth-grader Jaymi Bonner has participated in Special Olym pics for five years. She competed this summer in the inaugural sport of unified golf and competes in unified track for the Oquirrh Thunder. “It makes me strong,” she said. “It’s fun to do it with my friends.”
We are very proud to hire those with special needs and they do a phenome nal job as a part of our staff and that’s a special experience for our customers.BobHarmon
Harmon said it’s through the generos ity of their customers during annual pro motions that they can impact the lives of so many Special Olympians.

“Bob’s parents started supporting Special Olympics 40-plus years ago and the family has continued ever since,” Weaver said. “When it comes to my years of nonprofit work, not many partners stick around that long. The longevity of this re lationship is truly impressive.”
Harmons’ ongoing support provides Special Olympians’ opportunities
“It was the first time we were intro duced to someone different, but we didn't look at them as being different,” Harmons Grocery Chairman for the Customer Bob Harmon said. “We watched them compete and at that age, we were like, ‘we want to run too.’ They were engaged and a part of something, which is wonderful. It was an amazing experience and because it was so positive, we just continued to support Spe cial Olympics.”Thatsupport has extended to 42 years, and it continued Aug. 12 as Harmon handed Special Olympics Utah President/ Chief Executive Officer Scott Weaver a check for more than $302,000 from root beer float sales in March at the chain’s 19 grocery stores as well as donations at the checkouts. It was almost double the previ ous year’s Weavercontribution.saidthemoney is earmarked for the teams who told Harmons’ patrons about Special Olympics during the root beer float sales and will be used to offset sporting fees, uniforms, transportation, equipment and other costs.

“I think the biggest storylines for us this season are togetherness, growth and sticking to the process. I really am excited for the potential of this team,” said Sutera, who brought success as assistant coach at Jordan High and most recently five years at Corner Canyon High where three state titles were won.

The team captains, Race Gurr, Jack Johnson, Jace Matheson, Dylan Olsen and Mana Nonu, are well-known around Re gion 6 for a winning mentality despite the odds. Region 6, however, has seen marked improvement in teams from the East Leop ards, the Highland Rams, the Murray Spar tans, the Olympus Titans, the Park City Miners and the ever-pesky Skyline Eagles. Daniel Olsen, who blogs about Utah sports in the Hive Sports Network (thehivesports. com), predicts “the winner of the Rock (Skyline/Olympus) to ultimately be the Region 6 champion.” The Deseret News predicts East at No. 1, Olympus at No. 2 with Brighton edging out Skyline for the No. 3 spot. Brighton staff, however, is determined to complete the trifecta and three-peat with proven players—and then punch deep into the postseason.
The Sutera era began with a presea son game in mid-August against southern Utah’s best the Desert Hills Thunder. This team, predicted to regain their 4A state championship, brought both the thunder and the lightning with them to Bengal Sta dium. The 90-minute lightning delay gave the Thunder some rest after their long trip from St. George. They took full advan tage of Brighton’s early season jitters and turned interceptions into touchdowns. It wasn’t until late in the second quar ter before Brighton regained its stride. The Bengals held Desert Hills to no more scor ing and fought to the end to finish with a 28-21 loss. “Brighton had multiple chances to clinch that final game-saving touchdown late in the fourth quarter,” said principal Tom Sherwood, “but came up short.”
It was the first high school game of the season and broadcast on TV by KJZZ as the Thursday Night Lights game of the week.“It was a tough game to lose. We have a lot we need to improve on but showed re siliency getting back in the game and there is a lot to build on there,” Sutera said. “I think the measure of what we are able to achieve is how well we handle adversity and success and how we can grow through out the season.”

The results of this cross pollination are evident in the depth charts that keep Brighton soccer strong and competitive. In fact, the seven seniors of this year’s soccer team were recipients of the mentorship by those in the state championship teams of 2010 and 2013. In old-school Brighton parlance, the team has come “full circle.”Living up to the legacy, however, has become in creasingly difficult as all the school teams on Salt Lake’s east bench have risen to Brighton’s level. Region 6 alone (East, Highland, Murray, Skyline, Olympus, Park City) has produced the state champion in most of the last few season. Brighton is always in the mix. This season’s team captains Marcie Terry and Sam my Fry with McKenzie Smith in goal provide solid lead ership to a cast of young talent including sophomores Paige Christensen, Bailey Brown, Sara Jane Mikell, Jane Allen and the freshmen-phenom pair of Oakley Ze nger and Kate Wood.

Brain cells need to be supported with key elements to remain vibrant, and most people aren’t giving the brain what it needs.
“We’re living in an era where our brains are becoming less healthy,” Rosenberg said. “There’s no higher power than brain health. It’s mood, it’s personality, it’s spirituality, it’s optimism, it’s positive thinking. Your brain regulates everything, a lot of it without you even knowing about it.”

s e P t . 2022 | Page 19C ottonwood H eig H ts J ournal . C om As the Cottonwood Heights City Council continues their consideration of im plementing fiber throughout the city, the long-awaited presentation from Comcast Fiber occurred July 19. Comcast’s Government Affairs Manager Joseph Silverzweig presented an overview of Comcast’s services, company and network.“Ourgoal is to provide 21st-century en tertainment for communities,” Silverzweig said. “We bring a suite of services that come with internet at the door.”
To eliminate gaps in service within the city, Comcast has already committed to an invest ment of $1.25 million for an additional 442 passings.“Depending on winter weather, it should be done by summer,” Silverzweig said. Silverzweig explained to the council that Comcast services do utilize fiber connections. 800,000 miles of fiber infrastructure is current ly used as a backfall for the network. “We invested $4.2 billion into the net work in 2021 alone,” Silverzweig said.
Comcast’s infrastructure and network is based around pre-existing underground fiber connections.
(Photo courtesy of Joseph Silverzweig/Comcast) There are nine major gaps in service for Comcast within Cottonwood Heights. (Photo courtesy of Joseph Silverzweig/Comcast)
Cotttonwood Heights Mayor Mike We ichers asked Silverzweig about how Comcast uses micro-trenching for their fiber infrastruc ture. Silverzweig reported that Comcast only micro-trenches in narrow slices. They use a micro-conduit that adapts to weather elements so it does not create problems.
Looking back on their data from 2020, Comcast noticed that download traffic in creased more than double the upload traffic. Now, even though people are heading back into the office, demand hasn’t changed.
On average, Comcast finds most custom ers require a high download speed as most use about 13 times more download bandwidth than upload bandwidth. Seventy-one percent of their total download traffic is video stream ing, with 11% being video gaming. (Netflix and other streaming services require a 600-700 download speed.)
Comcast customers can choose to pay for 6G symmetrical speeds, if desired. “Our existing customers may not be on unlimited plans because those were really im plemented last year. We can get those rolled over to unlimited,” Silverzweig said.
For Comcast, Cottonwood Heights is an almost entirely built-out community. In their most recent serviceability analysis, nine gaps in service were identified throughout the city. Some of those gaps were the result of previous agreements with developers where Comcast was not allowed. Silverzweig provided the Giverny development along Wasatch Boule vard as an “Cottonwoodexample.Heights is already very well connected,” Silverzweig said.
“I can start a movie on my television at home. At the same time, I can stream a video in the other room and have something on my laptop. On the train the next day, I can start that same movie in the place I left off,” Silverzweig said. Mayor Weichers inquired about slowing down speeds within the network during busy hours.“Comcast doesn’t slow down speeds and we don’t throttle speeds,” Silverzweig said. “We guarantee our actual contracted speed all the time. Every customer has ac cess to our best speeds.”
Comcast has been able to utilize fiber connections to Hyatt House, Overstock.com, Larry H. Miller, Ken Garff, Domo, the State of Utah, Salt Lake City International Airport, Fusion, Morinda, Vail Resorts and American FurnitureThreeWarehouse.primarybusinesses nestled under Comcast are Comcast Cable, NBCUniversal and Sky. Residential services include X1 En tertainment Operating System, Xfinity Inter net, Xfinity Home, Xfinity Mobile and Xfinity Voice. l
Silverzweig explained that there are no contracts, no device fees, and no data caps for Comcast customers nationwide while offering unlimited data and wireless for all services.
Comcast plans to have complete coverage within Cottonwood Heights by 2023, with no taxpayer cost or city risk. Main fiber lines are already running underground throughout the city, with additional aerial fiber connections.
By Cassie Goff | c.goff@mycityjournals.com
“We have shifted from a quality prod uct to something that is essential for every one’s day to day lives,” Silverzweig said. As part of Covid-19 relief federal fund ing, Comcast has been able to provide internet essentials for $10 per month with a wireless router and literacy access to those who qualify. Silverzweig now expects this funding program to remainLookingpermanent.forward, Comcast expects a dra matic increase in upload speeds in the next five to 10 years. They will be working to improve uploading speed capability, build capacity, make changes with their software, and aim for a 1,000 download speed for all customers.

UTA On Demand is not a door-to-door ser vice. Instead, “you may have to walk down to a corner or arte rial road a short distance from your pick-up location. You may not be dropped off right in front of your destination location,” Christensen said.

tah Transit Authority (UTA) Chair Carlton Christensen presented UTA’s current ongoings and projects to the Cottonwood Heights City Council on Aug. 16. UTA routinely collects and surveys data about their ridership in order to help them make their services effective for residents.
(Photo
“We are condensing a long-range transportation plan,” Christensen said. “We are part of the Regional Transportation Plan but it does not include local bus service.”
Christensen encouraged Cottonwood Heights and UTA to be engaged with their corre sponding transportation plans.
UTA On Demand mainly uses minivans for their mi cro-transit service and many are fitted with wheelchair acces sible ramps. Users can request a ride through the app or phone number for $2.50. Most often, a van can be there within 15 minutes.“Itdid tell us where our essential works lived because they kept working with our services,” Christensen said. UTA is currently working on updating their five-year plan, which is a process that occurs every two years. The UTA Five-Year Service Plan outlines a plan for implementation of short-term service improvements.
UTA’s micro-transit services
offer Uber-style transport for residents
l
When considering developing or changing transit ser vices to Utah residents, UTA takes population density into account as well as rider propensity. For example, there is a higher propensity of frequent ridership from low-income households and zero-car households. “Propensity helps us determine where our service should be,” Christensen said. For Cottonwood Heights, ridership propensity is low. Based on 2020 data for the city area, parking at transit stations tends to be available, walkability and grid patterns is modern, diversity of use cases is moderate, relatively poverty rate is low, and zero-vehicle households is low. UTA’s overall mode share score for Cottonwood Heights is 11/25. UTA has three main bus services within Cottonwood Heights. During the winter months, those bus services provide transit for ski season. Christensen mentioned that with a new push from the ski resorts encouraging employees to ride the busses, they saw an increase in ridership.
Cottonwood Heights Mayor Mike Weichers closed the meeting with Christensen with the statement, “We have the right person leading this agency.”

Cottonwood Heights City Councilmember Ellen Birrell mentioned that she saw a lot of out-of-state visitors using the buses as well, more so than the residents. In late 2019, UTA began a new micro-transit service now called UTA On Demand. Christensen explained that UTA On Demand functions like a Uber or Lyft service, where users tell an app where they would like to go. The main difference is that users may be sharing the ride with other users, so they may stop a few times to pick up or drop off other riders during their Intransit.addition,
UTA On Demand is limited to specific geo-coded areas. The service was initially rolled out in areas where UTA want ed to provide service but didn’t have the population densities to provide route bus service including South Salt Lake, Drap er, Bluffdale and small areas of Sandy.
Councilmember Ellen Birrell is curious to ask residents if they would consider a tax bump for more public transportation services within Cottonwood Heights. courtesy of Carlton Christensen/UTA)

The Cottonwood Heights City Council voted to raise their annual compensation. (Photo courtesy of Cot tonwood Heights)
City councilmembers to receive an increase to annual compensation
By Cassie Goff | c.goff@mycityjournals.com
“There’s a clear conflict of interest that can’t be avoided,” said resident David Berry. “There is no input from anyone not getting compensation from the city. There needs to be some sort of process here that incorpo rates input from people who are not being compensated by the city.”
The Cottonwood Heights City mayor would receive an annual salary of $40,000.The Cot tonwood Heights City councilmembers will receive $22,500. A public hearing was held considering amending the compensation schedule on July 19 and Aug. 2. “I encourage the city council to give yourself a raise to support living here. It’s tough to live here with cost of living,” said resident Chanel Steward on July 19.
A vote considering Ordinance 386— Approving an Amended Compensation Schedule for the City’s Elected and Appoint ed Officers—was held Aug. 2. Councilmem ber Shawn Newell moved to approve the or dinance with Councilmember Doug Peterson seconding. Ordinance 386 was unanimously approved.“Iam supportive of this measure to get younger generations interested in serving,” said Councilmember Ellen Birrell. “This will hopefully cultivate younger people to be here on the council.” l
Cottonwood Heights City councilmem bers voted to give themselves a raise during their council meeting Aug. 2. Conversations about increasing the compen sation for all elected and statutory officers for the city began earlier this year within budget discussions. The last time city councilmem bers for Cottonwood Heights received an in crease in their pay was 2013. “Back in the budget process, there was discussion to look at market comparison across the whole city,” said City Manager Tim Tingey.Overthe past few months, Tingey and city staff members have been conducting a market study comparing compensation pack ages across the county for elected officials working on a part-time basis. For Cottonwood Heights, the mayor and city councilmember positions are considered part-time. The compensation for each posi tion is based on 10 hours per week. Being reminded of the part-time details, each of the city councilmembers laughed. “We put in two to three times that,” said Councilmember Scott Bracken. Tingey compared seven part-time may or positions from different communities. The range of compensation for a part-time mayor position varied between $24,000 and $58,000; the average of which resulted as $42,000.Twelve responsive cities throughout Salt Lake County were compared for city council positions. The range of compensa tion for councilmembers varied between $15,000 and $38,000; with the average being $22,700.After the market study was completed, Tingey suggested compensation packages that would be based on the midpoint of the research but would be a little below average.

Hansen and his wife, Melissa, founded Continue Mission in 2014, to provide a pro cess to help veterans dealing with trauma. Based on his personal healing journey, the Continue Mission program, based in North Salt Lake, gets vets outside and interacting with each Whetherother.it’s hiking, paddle boarding, disc golf, pickleball or a ball game, the outdoor activities create bonds and friend ships. Depression breeds in isolation, so physical interaction is a big part of Contin ue Mission.“When you get this big network of in dividuals you can reach out to when you’re struggling, that can save a life,” Hansen said. “What worked for me might save oth ers. Mother Nature is so healing.”
“The majority of veterans dying by suicide aren’t registered with the VA at all. They’re not even getting the help,” Hansen said. “I don’t want to wait until someone is in that dark place. I’d rather stop it be forehand. If we can get them out with our program and get their lives back again, and not let the tunnel get too dark, that will be the saving grace.” As Hansen and his soldiers cleared bombs in Iraq, he’d say Charlie Mike, which meant they could continue mission.

“Here at home we need to continue mission in life and support one another,” he said. “It’s healing for me when I hear success stories. There are so many ways we can touch people's lives and not even know it.”
Many veteran programs are only avail able to military personnel who served after 9/11, but Continue Mission is open to vets of any era and service connection including National Guard, reserves and active duty personnel. The program also has numerous women participating, as well as LGBTQ or trans soldiers. Hansen wants the program to be all-encompassing and inclusive.
Continue Mission has grown with more than 3,500 vets participating this year, compared to 15 vets during the first year, and nearly 200 events. A recent river trip to Moab cost $10K but was offered at no cost to Continueparticipants.Mission is funded through grants, website donations and a fundraising event organized by Blade HQ in Pleasant Grove.“Running a nonprofit is not easy,” Hansen said. “We usually wing it and hope people find out about us and donate when we can. It’s stressful every year to know if we’re going to survive another year be cause of funding. But it’s been so reward ing.”According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Utah is one of the worst states for veteran suicide. Part of Contin ue Mission’s goal is to get people in touch with the VA to get assistance, mental health counseling and other support.
Veterans involved with Continue Mission use outdoor activities to become mentally strong and to build long-lasting relationships that are healing and supportive. (Photo courtesy of Josh Hansen)

A fter Sgt. Josh Hansen (US Army Retired) was injured by an improvised explosive device in Iraq in 2007, he was hospitalized for months with brain trauma, and back and neck injuries. Hansen often felt he was a burden on everyone around him and thought it would be better for ev eryone if he wasn’t around. But after one of his soldiers died by suicide, Hansen realized he was traveling that same, dark road and wanted a different ending.
“After going to his funeral and seeing how it devastated the family and his kids, that was the turning point to say that’s not the answer,” he said. “We took care of each other during the war, we need to do that at home.”

She remembers watching her mother’s decline from the fatal genetic disease that affects nerve cells in the brain. When Roberts was 19, her mother passed“Itaway.was hard. At that point she had suffered for so long, it was kind of a tender mercy. She fought so bravely and so hard. When you watch someone you love go through that for so long, you only want the best for them,” Roberts said. “I’m the only one out of my siblings that hasn’t been diagnosed with the disorder. My younger brother and sister and both have tested positive.”Today, there are about 41,000 Americans with the disease and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. People with the genetic marker have a 50% chance of passing it down to theirTochildren.bringawareness to the disease, the Huntington's Dis ease Society of America will host Team Hope, the organiza tion’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in 100 cities across the country.

Peri Kinder Life and Laughter A slow burn
Scientists say a toxic dust cloud rising from the dried-up lake bed will prompt a new line of citrus-scented Pledge prod ucts to “Remove deadly arsenic from your home because you didn’t address this problem decades ago, idiot.”
Remember in the ‘70s, when it was discovered that chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol hairsprays were destroying the ozone layer, that thin layer of protection that absorbs radiation so we don’t get mi crowaved by the sun? Everyone used aerosol hairspray to get big hair and sky-high bangs. In fact, Aqua Net was our school mascot. But when we learned the chemicals damaged our atmo sphere, there was a worldwide campaign to ban them -- and it happened. Everyone agreed the ozone was worth protecting and did something about it. Crazy, huh? Where’s that cohesion now? Remember in the spring of 2020, when people actually cared about trying to stop the spread of COVID-19? We isolated in our homes, playing endless games of Uno, Clue and Cards Against Humanity, until getting the disease didn’t seem so bad. Flights were canceled, millions of cars were off the roads, and introverts were having big celebrations. By themselves. In theirDuringclosets. those brief weeks, cities around the world showed an improvement in air and water quality. Even in Utah, the sky was bluer and the air was cleaner. Now we’re back in our cars and the air is trying to kill us.
I recently walked through the Room of Extinction and Forewarning at the Utah Museum of Natural History, where dino saur bones are displayed, like the 90-footlong Barosaurus that was all neck and tail, and died 150 million years ago. A trophy wall of triceratops’ skulls stared down at me with hollow eyes and gaping jaws. Gi ant sloths and massive bears wandered this area 12,000 years ago. Of all the species that ever existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct. We could soon lose mountain gorillas, black rhinos, African forest elephants and orang utans. Here’s the thing, the Earth will be fine. It’s gone through climate cycles for 4.5 billion years. It’s watched civilizations rise and fall, and specialty soda shops fade into extinction. However, humanity is in a spot of “Buttrouble.theclimate is going to change anyway. Why is it our problem?” annoying peopleShutask.up. Yes, climate change happens naturally, but thanks to humans, the pro cess has sped up like a meteor breaking the sound barrier. I don’t want my grandchildren to wor ry about water and food and sharknados. We need to elect leaders who promote green solutions. We need politicians who care less about their pocketbook and more about the planet’s future. I believe in global warming because I’m not a knucklehead. It’s my fear that one day my skeleton will be displayed in a museum as an extinct species, with the sound of Al Gore quietly weeping through the speakers.

I’m gonna say no, because he’s been warning us about the devastating effects of climate change for 40 years, but no one can hear him. So here we are, surrounded by rising temperatures, severe storms, wildfires, drought, species extinction and the demise of the Choco Taco. If I was getting hot ter each year, I’d be okay with that, but when our planet gets even a touch warmer, things start to go awry. Our Great Salt Lake is facing some dire global warming effects. With the lake shrinking, Antelope “Island” has to use airquotes. The brine shrimp industry could go the way of the dinosaurs. And the lake is now officially called the Great Salt Lick.
