tarting this month, Herriman has a new city manager. Ever since the city council parted ways with previous city manager Brett Wood late last year, members have been searching for a replacement. That search came to an end last month with Nathan Cherpeski. Cherpeski comes from the city of Klamath Falls, Oregon, where he has served as city manager for over eight years. Before that, he held the same position for the city of Alamosa, Colorado. But while the bulk of his career has taken place outside of Utah, he has many connections to the Beehive state. Cherpeski attended BYU where he earned a master’s degree in public policy. After graduation, his first government job came just up the road from Herriman: an internship at South Jordan City Hall. That was in 1999, so he knows firsthand just how much the southwest valley has changed since then. “When I was working in South Jordan, Herriman was quite small,” he said. “It was this little town up on the hill, with just a lot of farmland in between. That’s mostly all gone.” Cherpeski also has a lot of family in Utah: a sister in Lehi, a brother in Draper and a child attending BYU. In fact, it was his brother who tipped him off about the job opening in Herriman and encouraged him to apply. Since applying for and securing the job, Cherpeski has been hard at work learning about his new community in preparation for his start date of June 29. One major difference between Herriman and his two previous stints as a city manager is population. With a population of over 60,000 (and likely to eclipse 80,000 within a few years) Herriman is a much larger city than Klamath Falls Nathan Cherpeski will be Herriman’s next city manager. He comes from Klamath Falls, Oregon, where he served in the same capacity for over (21,000) or Alamosa (9,000). Continued page 5 eight years. (Courtesty of Herriman City)

Hike with your dog for a pawsitively fun adventure By Karmel Harper | k.harper@mycityjournals.com

iking with your four-legged best friend can be a great adventure that provides both of you exercise, companionship and great joy. Preparing your pup for the trail prior to your first hike together is essential to ensure readiness and safety. According to REI.com, it is highly recommended that you visit your veterinarian and ask key questions before venturing out together in the wild.

life. Carry plenty of poop bags, pick up after your pooch and pack out filled poop bags. It is bad form to leave filled bags on the trail for others to pick up. Just as you would carry a first aid kit for yourself, you should also carry a first aid kit for your dog. Alicia Baker, owner “Girl on a Hike” blog (www.girlonahike.com) and organizer of “Dogs that Hike Utah” Facebook Is your dog physically ready? group recommends nine items for your dog’s A young dog’s bones need to be fully de- first aid kit: 1) gauze pads to place on an veloped which is usually a year of age plus or open wound, 2) antiseptic wipes, 3) roll of minus a few months depending on size and athletic tape to wrap and secure gauze, 4) dog other factors.

Does your dog need specific vaccinations and immunizations?

Lakes and ponds could be contaminated with Leptospirosis or giardia from infected animals and your vet can provide preventative measures for outdoor destinations.

Is your dog’s immune system ready?

Your vet can advise you on when it is safe to venture out on the trail by factoring the rate of natural immunity and your dog’s vaccine schedule. Additional tips include obedience training and knowing trail etiquette. Respect others’ space on the trail. Not everyone is comfortable with dogs, especially families with young children. You must maintain control of your dog at all times and be able to keep your dog calm as other hikers and pooches pass by. Step off the trail to yield right of way to other hikers, bikes, and horses. If you’re on a trail or the backcountry that allows dogs to be off leash, make sure your dog has strong recall skills and you have voice control over them. This means that when they are off leash and you call them back to you, they will immediately return to you. A solid recall is one of the most important skills you can have to ensure safety and avoid mishaps and danger with certain terrain, other hikers, and wild-

booties to protect bleeding or wounded paws, 5) antibiotic ointment, 6) disposable gloves, 7) tweezers, 8) cotton swabs and 9) Benadryl. Baker said, “I highly recommend taking a pet CPR and First Aid course so you can be fully prepared to care for your pet in an emergency.” You can take these courses from PetTech (www.pettech.net). Additional trainings such as rattlesnake aversion training for your dog are also useful for curious canines. Once you and your pup are well prepared to hit the trails, research ahead of time which trails allow dogs. In Utah, both Big

Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon prohibit dogs, as they are protected watershed areas. Dogs are also prohibited on national park trails. For trails that do allow dogs, also research whether they are allowed off-leash not only so you know if you can unleash your dog but also so you will be prepared and can expect that other dogs will be off leash too. During and after the hike, inspect your pup’s paws, ears and coat for foxtails, prickly goat heads, splinters, ticks and other debris so that you can remove them immediately. Despite the few areas where dogs are prohibited, Utah is an outdoor playground for you and your best furry friend. Baker’s favorite dog-friendly hikes are as follows: Beginner, Living Room Trail by the University of Utah; Intermediate: Desolation Overlook in Millcreek Canyon; and Advanced: Mt. Timpanogos in Utah County. Baker’s blog provides detailed descriptions of these trails with accompanying photos. Joanne Bolnick of Herriman said: “Hikes with my dog are always exciting. For me, it’s being outdoors and getting exercise. For him it’s finding game birds and bunnies to chase.” Natalie Johnson Morrison of Kaysville hikes with her Canine Companions service dog, Davin. “His hiking speed is somewhere between sloth and sea turtle, but he’s a very polite and good hiker,” Morrison said. Amanda Lee of Kaysville said: “Seeing our mini goldendoodle, Sully, loves to hike has pushed us to hike together more this past year than ever before. Sully takes to the trails with a spring in his step!” If you would like you explore the wild with your most loyal and enthusiastic best friend, visit www.girlonahike.com or join Joy Marianne White of Herriman and her pup, Penny, enjoy exploring the beautiful Wasatch mountains togeththe Utah Facebook group “Dogs that Hike er.

Continued from front page But Cherpeski looks at the size and growth of Herriman as an opportunity and an interesting challenge for him as the next step in his career. “Growth is a two-edged sword,” he said. “It’s a positive thing; a lot of communities want that. It can also be very negative. It can bring a lot of challenges with it. So as government professionals, how do we help our communities navigate that?” As for Cherpeski’s management style, he said he’s a “pretty laid back guy” whose office is always open to employees or residents. He’s also adopted a hobby of baking

home-made bread, which he sometimes brings to the office, much to the delight of his coworkers. Cherpeski says his favorite thing about working in local government is how he is able to see the impact he makes. “I have friends that work at the state and federal level, and often what they do is they write about things, but they don’t do them, he said. “It’s at the local level that you actually have to do it. It’s at the local level where you can go to a library you helped get built and see people using it or go to a local park you helped develop and see people enjoying it.” l

Community

Champions

are leaders who lift and inspire. They work to build a better community.

WHAT’S A CITY MANAGER ANYWAY? When it comes to city government, there are basically two forms of government. The first, known as a “strong mayor” form of government, is reminiscent of the federal or state government in that there is a distinct legislative and executive branch. The city council comprises the legislative branch: they set policy and manage the budget. The executive branch is led by a full-time mayor who manages the day-to-day operations of the city. However, under a “weak mayor” system, which is what Herriman City has, the mayor is just another member of the city council. The council then hires a city manager to carry out their long-term vision, implement the council’s policy decisions and keep the city running smoothly.

t is amazing for grilled cheese sandwiches. It makes the perfect bread bowl for soup. Or you can simply dip it in a mixture of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to enjoy the tangy flavors your taste buds will thank you for. While sourdough bread can be used for a wide variety of baking delicacies, sourdough is unique as it does not require yeast but rather a gooey, sticky batter which consists of only two ingredients: water and flour. This batter, or “sourdough starter,” is basically fermented water and flour which is “fed” regularly, even daily, by mixing in more flour and water. The practice of feeding your starter keeps it alive as it feeds on the sugars and microbes in the flour. When starting from scratch it takes weeks of feeding your starter daily for it to be ready for baking. A well-fed, well-fermented starter has a gooey, bubbly consistency, a vinegar-like scent and is the magic ingredient that leavens and flavors sourdough bread. Mindy Muller of Eagle Mountain, who is a huge proponent of preparedness and maintaining your family’s food storage, began baking sourdough during the pandemic when yeast was in short supply. “When yeast disappeared in 2020, I figured I should make my own and researched sourdough bread,” Muller said. “Because it took two months for my starter to be ready after feeding it daily, I decided I would always have sourdough starter and flour on hand. Now I have both dried and fresh starter available at any given time.” Another benefit of starter is it provides better health aspects compared to supermarket loaves. The long fermentation and natural acids help aid digestion by breaking down the gluten and making it easier for the body to absorb. Because sourdough starter rises and increases in volume every time it is fed, it is easy to share and maintain for years. People who want to jump into baking sourdough but do not have the time to invest in cultivating their own starter can find sourdough starter from neighbors or friends who are usually eager to share. When someone posted in a neighborhood Facebook group looking for starter, Nicole Hirase-Baker of Herriman offered to share hers, which is approximately 300 years old, meaning it was cultivated centuries ago, fed regularly, shared and passed down through generations. “My husband gave it to me for my birthday,” Hirase-Baker said. “He got it from San Francisco, and I have had it for 10 years.” Kaysville’s Isaac Hoffman’s love for baking sourdough came from his mother, Linda Hoffman of Farmington, who received her starter in 1974. Her starter is purported to be a direct descendant of the Klondike Gold Rush sourdough strain circa 1896–1899.

Hoffman fondly remembers his mother bringing her starter everywhere they traveled to keep it alive. It has been to several countries including Chile, United Arab Emirates, Singapore and Argentina. “Working from home during COVID seriously accelerated my breadmaking, and at peak, I was making three loaves at a time, sometimes twice a week,” she said. For some bakers, like Muller, the frequency of breadmaking allows them to express their artistic side often. Muller loves to experiment and try different designs in her scoring, the necessary step of cutting slashes into bread dough to control its expansion and minimize cracks during baking. Her scoring designs result in beautiful artisan loaves that perfectly dress up the table. The variety of other baked delights that stem from sourdough is endless. Waffles, pancakes, and even focaccia bread are delicious offshoots that adventurous bakers can experiment with. However, while the ingredients are basic, when the additional elements of history, artistry and sharing are added in, every loaf of homemade sourdough bread consists of much more than merely flour and water. If you would like to start your own sourdough adventure, many websites provide instructions on how to cultivate a starter from scratch such as www.thekitchn. com and www.kingarthurbaking.com. If you would like to purchase sourdough starter that has been cultivated and tended locally, contact Muller at mindy.muller@msn.com. l

Outdoor cooking brings neighbors and friends together By Karmel Harper | k.harper@mycityjournals.com

long with the scents of fresh cut grass and sunscreen, the aroma of sizzling meat mingling with flavorful herbs and spices in a backdrop of sweet smoke is a token and very welcome summer fragrance that delights your olfactory systems and causes friends, family and neighbors to gather. Outdoor cooking has been around since humans inhabited the earth, but with the emergence of high-tech and smart grills, your meals today can be far beyond burgers and hot dogs.

Chad Solis of Herriman is vice president of Digital Product Experience at Traeger. Solis cooks outside three to four times a week. Some of his favorite dishes include bacon-wrapped Malibu chicken, bacon-wrapped jalapeño poppers, wood-fired cinnamon rolls, tri-tip, brisket, seared prime steak and pulled pork. “We do everything on our Traeger,” Solis said. “Coffee-rubbed bacon and candy bacon are easily the items we bake most. They are next-level good. But my favorite would

arious sauces and meats offer different flavors to please everyone. (Photo by Chad Solis)

have to be the Wagyu beef tenderloin with gremolata. It is blow-your-mind good.” With the wide variety of grills and price ranges in the market, it can be challenging to select one that fits your needs and lifestyle. “For basic grilling, what creates a range in offerings is centered on a few basic principles,” Solis said. 1. How many people are you are typically cooking for? This translates to size or square inches of cooking space. 2. What type of cooking do you want to do or aspire to do? (grill, smoke, braise, roast, bake, broil) 3. What type of heat do you want/need? (indirect or direct) 4. What kind of technology do you require/desire? (smart cooking, control via app) 5. What kind of fuel do you have accessible? (wood/pellet, propane, natural gas, charcoal) 6. How much time and work do you want to put in during each cook? 7. Most importantly, what flavor profile do you want to bring to your table? Additionally, other features to consider include having a rotisserie, searing station, side burner or cabinets. As jumping into outdoor cooking can be intimidating, Solis said: “The best place for a beginner is anywhere. Just start. Probably not for a party but maybe for your family—a safe place where you can make mistakes. Don’t be shy, grab an app like Yumly, Tasty or my preference, the Traeger App, for outdoor cooking recipes that will have a complexity range from Master of Hot Dogs to Hall of Flame. Learn the different cooking techniques like grill, smoke, broil, roast, bake and broil, and the differences of the outcomes so you can understand what you and your family like.” In terms of difficulty, Solis said that white meats such as poultry and pork are more forgiving, while red meats and fish are less forgiving.

Another tip Solis recommends is getting a meat probe, which he said is essential to become a good outdoor chef. “Learn your cuts of meat and quality grades and never buy select,” Solis said. “Also learn the tricks that can turn choicegrade meat into prime grade flavor with a few little hacks like kosher salt, which is frequently used in the prep stages of fun cuts of meat like turkey, pork shoulder and brisket. Learn techniques like searing, crunching and others to dial in the flavor profile and style of cook you prefer. Get an app to challenge your range and try new things, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Make it fun.” Solis said that in general, grilling isn’t too difficult and that people get intimidated mostly by the occasion they choose to do large cooks like Christmas or Thanksgiving. “Some cuts take a lot of prep work,” he said. “Like brisket for example, as you have to meticulously trim the fat and create as even of a layer as possible for the ideal cook. Then it also takes 12 to 24 hours to cook correctly. For great outdoor cooked meals, you need to plan ahead, brine your protein and leave plenty of time to cook the menu at the right pace and temperature. So honestly, it’s less about difficulty and more about time commitment.” Common mistakes include rushing, not having enough time and patience to achieve optimal flavor and not having the right tools like tongs, bear claws and a meat probe. Grilling is about community, family, and friends. “Our Traeger naturally creates a community amongst neighbors and becomes the front-porch topic of conversation with recipe sharing and shared meals,” Solis said. Will Behunin of Herriman is director of Digital Platforms at Traeger and Solis’ neighbor. He said: “Nothing brings the neighborhood and people in general together quite like a good meal. Grilling outdoors with family and friends is among my favorite memories.” l

ecause of them, an estimated 100,000 lives are saved annually in the United States. The figure is close to 1 million lives saved worldwide. With their signature red swimsuits, whistles and lifesaving buoys, lifeguards are an invaluable presence in public pools and waterparks this time of year. While lifeguards work all year in pools that operate year-round, in Utah, where most outdoor pools and waterparks open around Memorial Day weekend, the hiring process for the summer months begins much earlier. At JL Sorenson Recreation Center in Herriman, hiring begins in February. “We hire 120 lifeguards every summer; they range in age from 15 to 22,” Aquatics Coordinator Brittany Taylor said. The early onboarding is necessary for new hires to complete the rigorous certification and training process to save lives. The American Red Cross lifeguard certification is more than 25 hours long and includes both testing of hands-on skills as well as comprehension on written tests. The certification also includes CPR, AED and First Aid. At JL Sorenson, the in-person course is broken up over five intensive days, but its trainees also complete coursework online. Yet even prior to beginning the training process, potential new hires must first qualify by passing a swimming skills test which typically consists of demonstrating the ability to swim 100 yards, tread water for two minutes and retrieve a brick from the bottom of a deep pool (typically around 13 feet deep). In addition to this initial training, lifeguards continue to maintain their skills with regular in-service trainings and meetings. A lifeguard’s primary responsibility is to prevent drownings and other injuries at aquatic facilities. They do this by monitoring activities in and near the water through patron surveillance. They also prevent injuries by minimizing or eliminating hazardous situations or behaviors, respond immediately and effectively to all emergencies, and administering first aid and CPR, including using an automated external defibrillator (AED). Lifeguards also have secondary responsibilities and tasks, but these may never in-

terfere with patron surveillance or emergency response. These secondary tasks include testing the pool water chemistry, assisting patrons by performing safety orientations, cleaning or performing maintenance, completing records and reports, performing opening and closing duties, or facility safety checks and inspections. If you have ever visited a public pool or aquatic park, you may have noticed that lifeguards rotate their post regularly every 15–20 minutes. This rotation is necessary, as it offers a change of scenery for the lifeguard to maintain vigilance and provide fresh eyes to the new location. In public pools, this change of location can involve moving to a different chair and in large aquatic parks like Cherry Hill in Kaysville, lifeguards move to various attractions such as assisting with the slide at Cardiac Canyon Run or surveillance at the pirate ship at Pirates Cove. In September 2020, South Davis Recreation Center lifeguards were honored with Red Cross Lifesaving Awards for their efforts in sustaining lives in three life-threatening instances. These heroes worked in teams and put their knowledge into action. The awards ceremony was held at the South Davis Recreation Center board meeting where several mayors were present to offer their congratulations. Kathleen Steadman, aquatic operations manager for the South Davis Recreation Center, said: “These young people are amazing. Each of them (along with many of their co-workers who assisted with these emergencies) saw a need and took care of it—no hesitation; they knew what to do and did it. I’m so proud of their bravery during a life-threatening situation.” Lifeguards’ responsibilities are significant, necessary and can be daunting in an aquatic center. Lizie Allen, aquatic program manager at South Davis Recreation Center, offered tips for parents to make the lifeguards’ jobs easier. “Put your phone down, engage with your children in the water and please stay within arms’ reach of your children around the water,” she said. l

Herriman’s Photos of the Month All Photos by Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

id you know the Herriman Journal has its own Instagram account? There’s so much going on in Herriman within any given month, we can’t possibly fit everything into this newspaper. So we try to highlight as many of those things as we can on our Instagram. Whether it’s high school sports, local events or businesses or just a nice sunset, you can find those and more at @HerrimanJournal. Here are some highlights of what we’ve posted in the last month. l

Last month saw record-breaking high temperatures that drove many Herriman residents and visitors to Blackridge Reservoir to cool down.

We highlighted “Healthy Spot Herriman,” a local business specializing in drinks and shakes that are as tasty as they are healthy.

Continuing a tradition that began last year as a result of COVID-19, Herriman High School held a parade to honor its 2021 graduates.

Outstanding Educators of the Year By Jet Burnham | j.burnham@mycityjournals.com

he Jordan Education Foundation 2021 Outstanding Educators of the Year are an inspiring group of teachers who, through this difficult year, inspired students, overcame obstacles and even helped save lives. Educators were nominated by colleagues, students and parents who had this to say about these inspiring educators:

Copper Mountain Middle

Julie Willeitner, Special Education “When school went online in March of 2020, Julie Willeitner immediately organized her team of special education teachers and assistants to best help students. As the school year continued online, Julie took the time to contact students and parents if they missed a Zoom session.”

Fort Herriman Middle

PJ Smalley, Language Arts/Instructional Coach “He taught me the importance of respect in the classroom, and he helped me to realize that my teachers weren’t just there to teach me but also to help me to become a better person.” “Mr. Smalley was the best English teacher I’ve ever had! He taught me how to believe in my writing abilities. [Now] I’m in the process of publishing a poetry book.”

Successful charity fundraiser fueled by competition (and cream pies) By Jet Burnham | j.burnham@mycityjournals.com

Earning the opportunity to throw a pie in their teacher’s face was a popular reward during St. Andrew’s annual charity fundraiser. (Photo courtesy of Erin Carrabba.)

hird grader Sadie Owlsey mopped floors, babysat and cleaned her house to earn money for the Pennies for Patients fundraiser at her school, Saint Andrew Catholic School in Riverton. Because of her efforts and the generosity of her family and neighbors, Sadie raised $1,300. Pennies for Patients is Saint Andrew Catholic School’s annual fundraiser for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society to help families with children who are affected by childhood illness. They usually raise about $2,000 each year. This year’s goal was $2,021. “It seemed like an appropriate goal based on what we’ve collected in the past as well as in light of the pandemic and how it has impacted our families financially,” Principal Erin Carrabba said. Students brought in change from home and asked friends and family members to make online donations. At the end of two weeks, the 150 students had raised over $5,000. Of that total, $2,100 was raised by two students: Sadie and a fourth grader, who raised $800. “This was something that they thought that their family or friends would value giving money to, and they really came through,” Carrabba said. “I don’t know if it was the student council and the energy they put in or because it was a pandemic, but the community just really came through,” The 20 upper-grade students on the school’s student council planned the fundraiser and kept students excited about raising money through competitions, posters and regular announcements. They believe the success of the fundraiser was because of the competition between students and grade

levels. Students were motivated to bring in money to add to their class totals and to sabotage other classes (something they could pay to do). “We started getting really competitive, and that’s when we really started bringing more money in,” student council member Lucy Urena said. “It was crazy because we doubled the amount that we’d set a goal for; it was really exciting,” said Emma Carrabba, another student on the council. She said the sting of sabotage and the disappointment of losing the lead was lessened because everyone understood it was all in good fun and all for a good cause. “I really enjoyed helping the kids with cancer; I felt really good about that,” Sadie said. She also was motivated by the incentives, such as getting to throw a pie in her teacher’s face. When the school total hit certain benchmarks, all students would earn treats such as free dress days, a pizza lunch or no homework. Students who met a minimum donation amount had their names put in a raffle for a chance to throw a cream pie in the face of their teacher. The class that earned the highest total got a lunch from Olive Garden provided by LLS. The top prize, which Sadie earned, was the privilege to be principal for a day. She greeted students at the car drop-off in the morning, handed out cookies to them during lunch and made the morning announcements. Sadie said the best part of the day was playing with the kindergartners at recess and having the principal order her lunch from her favorite restaurant. l

Family legacy of education will live on at new elementary school By Jet Burnham | j.burnham@mycityjournals.com

erriman’s seventh elementary school is being built at 6930 West 12900 South on land sold by the Dansie family, one of the area’s earliest settlers. Herriman City Council member Sherrie Ohrn noted at the groundbreaking, held May 13, that the old Dansie family home still stands just to the south of the lot, which Ohrn hopes gives students a sense of history and appreciation for early Herriman settlers. “If you will look around, you just see fields right now,” she told those in attendance. “One day these will be full of houses and children, streets and dogs and whatever else comes with development. So I think it’s always very important to remember where we came from and to remember the heritage that is founded on this property.” The Dansies were the first to build a home outside of the fort in Herriman. Jordan School Board member Darrell Robinson said in his remarks that there are pioneers among us still that are shaping the community, and he hopes students will have many great experiences attending the new school. The Dansies are known for their generosity and their love of education said Robinson. They are a family of educators who hope their legacy will live on at the school built on their land. “I knew the land was so precious and that it is important to our family that we share what we have,” said Joyce Dansie Taylor, who was a teacher at Hillcrest High School and Mt. Jordan Middle School. Her daughter RuthAnn Taylor teaches at Foothills Elementary in Riverton. Joyce’s brother Richard Dansie and his wife, Dixie, manage the family’s land and sold the picturesque site to the school district. Dixie was a teacher in the Jordan District for

30 years and is confident students will get a quality education at the new school. “I hope that by going to school on this beautiful piece of ground, with mountains on both sides, with the quality and excellent teachers that the Jordan School District gives them, that they get the education that helps them become productive citizens in their lifetime, that the legacy is passed on,” Dixie said. Bonnie Dansie Park, who was an elementary school teacher in Davis County, said her family loves teaching because they love kids. She hopes the students at the new school will enjoy their teachers. “I hope they’ll be blessed by a teacher who loves them and encourages them, believes in them, pushes them along, makes them work a little harder than they think they can,” Bonnie said. Ronna Hoffman, who was Jordan District’s Outstanding Principal of the Year in 2019, will be principal at the school, which will open for the 2022–23 school year. The new school will impact the boundaries of Bastian, Silver Crest, Herriman and Butterfield Canyon elementary schools. Jordan District Superintendent Anthony Godfrey said the new elementary school is being built to keep ahead of the population growth, which is happening at a rapid pace in the Herriman area. “These groundbreakings are great evidence of the deep connection that there is between schools, the school district, the community around us and the state at large,” Godfrey said, acknowledging the support of elected officials, representatives of Herriman, Jordan District and the state school board of education who attended the groundbreaking ceremony. l

Join the ‘Warrior Nation’ at Zions Bank Stadium By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

tah has more professional sports teams than most people would think. Of course, everyone knows the Jazz and Real Salt Lake, and people have enjoyed attending the more affordable minor league games offered by the Grizzlies and the Bees for years. But one of Utah’s newest professional sports teams is working hard to establish themselves as another staple of sports entertainment along the Wasatch front: the Utah Warriors. The Warriors compete in Major League Rugby, a league founded in 2018. The league has quickly expanded, growing from seven teams at its inception to 12 teams currently competing. Matches are televised on the CBS Sports Network and on Fox Sports channels. The team plays its home matches at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman, the same stadium where the RSL-affiliate Real Monarchs play. The team has steadily increased its support from the community as first-time attendees quickly become fans. The team’s support staff does a great job of catering to attendees who may not be all that familiar with the sport of rugby. The public announcer takes time before and during the match to explain the terminology and rules of the game. Attendees were treated to a particularly thrilling match on June 12, when the Warriors took on the San Diego Legion. The visiting

team led throughout most of the game, but the Warriors were able to keep pace for the most part. However, in the 61st minute (of an 80-minute match), San Diego scored a try that put them ahead 41-24, a pretty formidable lead so late in the game. But the Warriors didn’t give up, as they

scored three consecutive tries in the final 19 minutes, including the game-winner by James Vaifale, scored with just seconds remaining on the clock. Herriman residents still have a couple more chances to see the Warriors in person this season. Their final two home matches

will be played on July 11 and 17. With tickets as low as $19, it’s a great option for a date or family outing. Editor’s Note: The City Journals are a sponsor of the Utah Warriors. l

A crash course on Salt Lake Valley’s water supply By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

ater is one of those things that people take for granted. We don’t really talk about it much until it becomes an issue. So now that Utah and the rest of the southwest are experiencing historic levels of drought, some Salt Lake valley residents might be realizing how little they know about the topic. So here’s a crash course lesson on the valley’s water supply.

Who manages the valley’s water supply?

The answer to this question depends on where you live. If you live on the west side of the valley, then most of your water comes from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District. They collect water from Jordanelle and Deer Creek reservoirs, as well as a collection of reservoirs in the Uinta Mountains. Twenty percent of its water also comes from groundwater, pumped from wells scattered around the valley. The District then sells this water wholesale to cities including Draper, Herriman, Bluffdale, Riverton, South Jordan, South Salt Lake, Taylorsville, Midvale and West Jordan. It also counts among its customers a few intermediary districts such as the Granger Hunter Improvement District, the Kearns Improvement District and the Magna Water Improvement District. While these smaller districts purchase as much as 90% of their water from Jordan Valley, they also supplement that with their own water supply from wells in the area. The other big player when it comes to providing water to the Salt Lake Valley is the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy. As its name suggests, this district provides water to Salt Lake City and Sandy City, the first and sixth most populous cities in the state. But wait, there’s more! Salt Lake City’s Public Utilities department is responsible for more than just its own residents. They also provide drinking water for Cottonwood Heights, Millcreek, Holladay and parts of South Salt Lake and Murray. More than 60% of all that water comes from the streams of Big and Little Cottonwood Canyon. That water is filtered by facilities owned by either the Metropolitan Water District or SLC. For example, the treatment facility at the mouth of Big Cottonwood is owned by SLC, while the treatment facility for Little Cottonwood is owned by Metropolitan Water District. Additionally, some cities own and operate their own water infrastructure to supplement what they purchase from their respective districts. Sandy City, for example, collects and treats water from the Bell Canyon Reservoir. Many cities also rely on various canals throughout the valley as a source of secondary water.

HerrimanJ ournal.com

How much does our water cost?

It can be quite expensive to collect, treat, transport and deliver water to the over 1 million people who live, work or play in the Salt Lake Valley. The Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District operates on an operations budget of about $79 million per year, while the Metropolitan Water District has a budget of about $48 million. Where does that money come from? The largest revenue source ($48 million) for the Jordan Valley is from its wholesale contracts with its various member agencies. An additional $7 million comes from retail customers, usually homeowners in unincorporated areas that purchase water from the district directly. The second-largest source of revenue for the district is property taxes, which comes in at about $20 million per year. As a special district with taxing authority, water districts are able to levy a property tax on residents within the district boundaries. The property tax rate for the Jordan Valley is .0004%. The Metro District is below .0003%. While residents around the valley have likely seen their rates increase over the years due to inflation, they’re still paying much lower rates than many people around the country, according to Linda Townes, public information manager for Jordan Valley. That’s because Utah’s mountainous landscape allows gravity to move our water for us, rather than paying for pump stations which use a huge amount of costly electricity.

Who is running these districts?

Between such large budgets and the task of managing a resource as crucial as water, it bodes asking who’s in charge of these districts. Special districts are typically run by a board of trustees. The Jordan Valley operates under a board of nine members. While the Metro District has a seven-member board. Members of the board aren’t elected. Instead they are appointed by various legislative bodies from within the district’s boundaries. Appointees can be elected officials themselves (such as South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey or Herriman City Councilmember Sherrie Ohrn who serve on the JVWCD board) or they can be city employees or even private residents—whatever the nominating body thinks will best represent their interests. As a governmental body, districts are required to hold regular public meetings. They also publish their budgets and other reports each year to keep residents informed.

wonder if we’re running out of water in the Salt Lake valley. In short, the answer is no, residents of the Salt Lake valley don’t need to worry about rationing water anytime soon. When it comes to growth, Townes said that water consumption hasn’t increased at the same rate as the population, suggesting that the District’s water conservancy efforts and efficiency standards have been effective. “The good thing we’ve seen with growth is that we really expected our water use to skyrocket with the population growth and it hasn’t,” she said. “It’s stayed pretty steady, which means conservation is working. It’s happening. We are seeing a change.” There are also still untapped sources of water which could come into play down the road. According to Townes, Jordan Valley Water expected to begin developing the Bear River in 2015. However, a combination of other new sources and increased water efficiency made that unnecessary. Now, they may not have to dam the Bear River until 2060. “It’s a pretty cool river and one of the last ones that’s not damned. We don’t want to develop it. It’d be great if we didn’t have to, but it’s our job to make sure there’s enough water for people,” Townes said. The Metro District is also in good shape when it comes to water supply. Speaking to the Sandy City Council last month, general manager Mike DeVries said there’s no need to worry. “Despite poor precipitation and snow pack conditions, because of storage and Metro’s various water supplies, we’re in a healthy state when it comes to supply for our member cities. We’re not anticipating any sort of shortages for our metro at this point,” he said. It’s also important to know that most of the state’s water systems are self-contained. For example, the systems that supply water throughout Salt Lake County aren’t connected to systems for other nearby counties. So if there are water shortages in other parts of the state, it wouldn’t be possible for them to dip into the supplies of the Jordan Valley or Metropolitan Districts, even if they were willing to share.

The District also provides a number of programs, rebates and incentives for residents to improve their water efficiency. Those can be found at www.utahwatersavers.com. City governments are also getting in on the conservation effort by requiring new developments to meet certain water efficiency standards. Many cities have also taken proactive measures during our current drought. Cottonwood Heights, for example, announced that its popular splash pad at Mountain View Park would remain closed throughout the summer. Herriman City paused a requirement for developers to install landscaping on new projects, allowing them to delay the addition of extra vegetation until after the summer months. Residents, meanwhile, have many options for conserving water. They can do small things like take shorter showers or turn off the faucet while they brush their teeth. They can take advantage of the previously mentioned programs and get a more water-efficient toilet or relandscape their yards. But the most effective and easy thing they can do, according to Townes, is simply water their lawns less. If everyone adjusted to watering their lawns just one less day per week, it would have a huge impact on the region’s water supply outlook. l

How can we conserve more water?

Whether from continued growth or continued droughts, water conservation will be increasingly important for residents of the Salt Lake valley. From the water districts themselves, to municipal governments to residents’ households, there’s a lot that can be done. At the district level, the Jordan Valley Are we in danger of running out of wa- has set a good example by relandscaping all of their facilities to be water efficient by ter? Between the state’s historic drought and replacing turf with vegetation that’s more at rapid population growth, some residents may home in Utah’s desert climate.

Drought and fireworks… a bad combination

Aimee Winder Newton Salt Lake County Council | District 3

When Governor Cox asked all of us to pray for rain several weeks ago, my family and I talked about additional ways we could do our part. We made the decision to turn off the water while brushing our teeth, shorten our showers, and only water our lawn twice per week. We also made the decision not to do fireworks this year because of all the dry brush and potential impact on resources should something go awry. Most of Utah is experiencing extreme or exceptional drought. As Governor Cox explained recently, this is either the worst drought since 1956 or the worst drought ever. We have seen our reservoirs and lakes at record lows. In addition to the little precipitation over the last year to refill our lake and rivers, we also have more people than ever consuming water in this state. Luckily Utah has done a great job of planning for the future; but if we don’t cut back on water usage this year, we may find ourselves in a position where we will need to ration water in future years. Little things make a big difference when it comes to water conservation. There are things you can do like not letting the water run full blast while brushing your teeth or washing your pets near vegetation to get a secondary benefit. Utah’s slowtheflow.org has great advice for how to act during a drought. I found very help-

ful their tips on lawn management, namely: 1) water your lawn twice a week, 2) don’t water if it’s windy, 3) water in the evening or before 10 a.m., 4) prioritize your watering in the following order: trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, grass, and 5) raise your mower to leave your grass longer. You should also check out utahwatersavers.com, where you can find details on rebate programs for taking all sorts of water wise steps. While I can understand the desire to have the greenest lawn in the neighborhood, this year it’s cool to have yellow or brown lawn. You are showing your neighbors that you care about them and are conscientious water consumers during the drought. Paired with being water wise is being fire smart this summer. This includes the small things, like discarding of cigarettes in the proper receptacle and not driving over or parking your car on dry vegetation. It also includes the more mindful things, like only starting campfires in cement or metal firepits, never leaving them unattended, and fulling drowning them until cool to the touch. Utahfireinfo.gov has even more information to consider for your summer plans. Lastly, consider going to a planned city fireworks show for the holidays rather than having your own fireworks. It saves money, and it’s much safer

since local fire departments are onsite at those planned fireworks shows. Usually on the 4th and 24th of July we get together with neighbors and light fireworks in our circle. Not this year. Due to the high risks that fireworks pose, we will be having a barbecue and playing games to celebrate the holidays. I’m a big fan of liberty and freedom, but I’m also a big fan of personal responsibility, so join me in watching your water usage and forgoing fireworks this year. Let’s be smart and be part of the solution!

Herriman City Journal

A Series of Unfortunate Events It’s been said that when we make plans, God laughs. Do you think that’s a silly giggle or a maniacal James Bond villain laugh? The last few weeks brought a string of first-world irritations that felt like a game of Whac-a-Mole. I hit one problem and another one popped up. I pound that problem but end up hitting myself in the face with a rubber mallet. I can hear God LOLing from here. Despite our daily devotion to it, our TV stopped working. We shook the remote and pushed buttons as hard as we could, but there was still no picture. Just a dark, mocking abyss. We decided to run away from our responsibilities by driving to Idaho and checking-in at an Airbnb. (The room was nice, but the bed was shaped like a taco. I slept on the couch so I didn’t roll over in the night and suffocate my spouse.) Every 50 years, my husband likes to visit Yellowstone, so we left our Airbnb and drove to the national park to snap pictures of the bison, tiptoe around the geysers and marvel at the wondrous number of people who had the same idea. #HelloCOVID After getting lost in Yellowstone and stopping for Mexican food so we didn’t starve to death, we crossed the Teton Pass just as the sun was setting. Deer lined the road, waiting for the right moment to lunge in front of our car. We’d see their eyes glow-

ing in the dark, then hit the brakes before driving on. It took us 245 years to get back to our Airbnb. The drive back to Salt Lake the next day was pleasant, except when I had to give my husband the silent treatment because he wouldn’t take me to the Potato Museum (#PotatoIceCream). After we crossed back into Utah, the truck in front of us kicked up a rock that hit the car’s windshield, leaving an extensive and expensive crack across the glass. Used to be, when you broke a windshield, you’d call the junkyard and they’d take a windshield out of a car in their backyard to replace the broken one. Today’s windshield has monitors, antenna and tracking devices, so it’s worth half-a-million dollars, according to the windshield repair shop.

Why hasn’t Elon Musk created self-healing windshield glass? We made it back home, picked up the dog and gave everyone their Yellowstone golf balls and Idaho potholders. I looked forward to a nice hot shower but (joke’s on us) the hot water heater stopped working and was chuckling with God and the TV. They all had a good laugh together. We forked out more cash so we could have hot water, collapsed into our non-taco bed and slept. A few days later, my husband said, “We have a gas leak in the basement.” It took me a minute to understand what he was saying because he was so calm. My husband is notoriously terrible under stress. “Why are we still in the house?” I asked. “Where else would we be?” He responded. “Not in a house that could explode if we make toast.” We hustled everyone to the neighbor’s lawn until the gas company gave us the okay. The water heater had been installed incorrectly but our house wasn’t going to blow up. Today, at least. I rarely look at the dark side of life and by the end of the week I was chortling right along with God, the TV and the water heater. Sometimes, LOLing is the only thing you can do.
