HERRIMAN ANIMAL SANCTUARY IS STARK CONTRAST TO ‘TIGER KING’

By Stephanie Yrungaray | s.yrungaray@mycityjournals.com

Established in 1998 on 5 acres of unincorporated Salt Lake County bordering Herriman, the Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary is where farm animals rescued from slaughter settle into their forever home.

Housing 150 animals, including many birds, sheep, pigs, goats, cows and horses, owner and executive director Faith Ching and many volunteers are quietly committed to giving these rescued animals the best life possible.

“We get [the animals] from a bunch of different sources,” said Ching.

Around 69 people volunteer each week to keep the animals fed, watered and taken care of. Ching said the monthly cost to feed the animals runs around $4,500, and since they are a sanctuary, they rely entirely upon donations to pay the bills.

“We rely on donations and fundraisers,” said Ching.

“We are entirely funded by the kindness of people’s hearts.”

Coronavirus is affecting future fundraising plans for the sanctuary. Summer fundraisers are canceled, and Ching is worried about people’s ability to donate in the future because of the stumbling economy.

“The fundraisers help raise money and give us exposure,” said Ching. “I’m fearful that in a few months, everybody’s pocketbook is going to be hurting. It is understandable that they might not be able to donate, but is concerning to me.”

Unlike the animal parks in the “Tiger King,” the Ching Farm Rescue and Sanctuary do not profit from or use their animals for revenue.

When Is It a Good Idea to Refinance Quickly?

With these uncertain times and all-time low interest rates, now is one of the best times in history to refinance your home.

• Eliminated private mortgage insurance (PMI): Conventional mortgages typically require PMI if you put down less than 20% of the loan amount at closing. If, however, the value of your home increased quickly or you’ve made a large payment and qualify to get rid of it, refinancing could save you money. Also, some government-insured loans charge mortgage insurance, and refinancing one into a conventional loan could get rid of it.

www.houser.com Promo Code CITYJOURNALS 801-718-4170

• Change in interest rate structure: Borrowers can choose a fixed- or adjust-

able-rate mortgage (ARM).

While an ARM can save you money upfront with a lower fixed interest rate for a set period, it becomes variable once that period ends. If you notice that interest rates are rising and want to lock in a low fixed interest rate to avoid taking on too much risk, refinancing can allow you to do that.

• Equity cash-out: If you need cash fast and want to avoid high-cost loans,

doing a cash-out refinance will give you access to some of the equity in your home at the cost of the new mortgage loan.

Providence Hall debaters take their arguments online

By Jet Burnham | j.burnham@mycityjournals.com

S

chool closures and the end of competition season doesn’t prevent debaters from flexing their debate muscles. High school debate students from across the state participate in online debate chats.

“A lot of our communication happens online,” said McKenzie Capito, a freshman at Providence Hall High School. “We still can continue to advance our debate skills.

We make cases and send them to each other and get comments on those. We get feedback from one another.”

Her teammate Aeden Payne said discussions are lively.

“Sometimes, the debates carry over from tournaments and into group chats over the course of four days on the same subject, so it gets to be really interesting,” he said.

Some chat groups are for specific events that attract kids from several different high school teams.

“It’s incredibly fun to talk to people who know your events and understand the topics,”

said senior Hailee Martin. “A lot of politically aware teenagers in the same group chat is incredibly entertaining. It’s a really healthy way of establishing your own identity, as well as finding people that you also identify with.”

PHHS debate adviser Steve Porter said chats don’t get heated like many online discussions among adults.

“They’re learning you can disagree with people and argue with people, but you also have that underlying respect,” he said. “So, they’ll argue back and forth on things, but then they still have that relationship afterwards. It’s not an all or nothing proposition, which is rare in today’s world.”

This camaraderie among the high school debate community is what strengthens their skills and what members of the Providence Hall High debate team said contributes to their success. They have won first place in their division at state for the last two years.

“Even though there are so many schools that participate in debate, the community it-

self is very close-knit and open,” Hailee said.

“There’s very few competitors that are rude or curt or as competitive as other sports.”

McKenzie said as a newbie this season, she was surprised by how friendly and helpful debaters from other schools were at competitions.

“Before rounds, we would get to know each other on a friendly basis,” she said. “Because this is my first year, it was really, really helpful. I was able to talk to some of the seniors and the juniors, and they taught me a lot of different things that I hadn’t been taught before. They explained to me what some of their points meant.”

When Hailee was new to competition, experienced debaters from the Morgan High School team recognized she was a new face and offered support and advice.

“It was really comforting to have that idea that, yes, we are competing against each other, we’re part of different schools, we are technically not supposed to really like each

other or give each other advice, but the entire Morgan team that was competing in that room that day helped me so much,” she said.

“They were so supportive and nice. That’s something that really taught me the ethics and the community of debate.”

Porter hopes other teams see the PHHS team as equally supportive and helpful.

“We make a point to be friendly, outgoing and respectful, and that is reflected back to us,” he said.

Porter is impressed with his group’s teamwork. After competition rounds, he is heartened to see his team huddled around each other, providing feedback and advice.

Assistant coach Bella Cauley attributes the team’s success to the students’ willingness to help each other, to their focus and to the support from a coach as dedicated as Porter.

Hailee said their team is like a family.

“As a team, we all have a responsibility to help each other out,” she said. “Challenging people’s belief systems or maybe finding

Former Utah First Lady’s books address internet safety at a time when more students are online

By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com

R

ight in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, former Utah First Lady Jackie Leavitt launched the sixth book in the Faux Paw series she has co-written — and said it’s a perfect time to do so.

“Children are at home as we practice social distancing to avoid the coronavirus, but they also are likely spending more time being connected on the internet through technology,” Leavitt said. “But we want the children to be safe online and understand the importance of guidelines while using the internet.”

Her series of adventures address internet safety with Faux Paw – a now 20-year-old orange polydactyl (six-toed) cat who used to reside in her husband’s office when Mike Leavitt was governor.

“Faux Paw was the perfect way to talk about internet safety with school children,” she said. “People would come to the office to see the cat even more than the governor.

There was so much interest in the cat, that it just fit he would be the mascot or the star of the books.”

While the cat at one time had his own website, now the former First Lady said the books about Faux Paw the Techno Cat are available as a free online resource to parents on iKeepSafe.org under the family access tab. In addition, each elementary school throughout the state has two copies of each book in the series.

“In each of the books, Faux Paw the Techno Cat addresses different issues and gets curious and into trouble, but he has good friends who help him understand how to be a good digital citizen. In this last book, “Faux

something untrue with the help of former U.S. First Lady Laura Bush. The other books address balancing screen time as Faux Paw gets distracted playing online games, illegal downloading when he wants to get a new song, and making healthy media choices.

The series aren’t written on her own. After consulting with two child psychologists, Leavitt said she “wrote the nuts and bolts” of the stories. She credits co-author Sally S. Linford for making the stories “more fun and clever” as well as illustrator Adrian Ropp, who “was able to take a very difficult subject and add an element of fun and comfort to it.”

The books also come with internet resources, discussion questions and the newest, with catchy informative tunes to familiar melodies.

With precautions taken for COVID-19, this time with children at home can be a unique window that can be used for learning digital ethics and positive online skills, she said.

“We know that many of our youth will have more access and be online during this time and with parents trying to teach and work at home, this is a free way to communicate how to be a good citizen online,” Leavitt said.

Healthy living in a “connected world” does require these necessary skills and conversations, she said.

Seeing the need for those conversations in her own family inspired Leavitt to write about the issues surrounding being online.

She also heard the need to address these concerns from other parents – including the last

one from her daughter.

“In each of these books, there are different topics that can be looked at and talked with our children and youth and there are additional resources, such as ‘Be Internet Awesome,’ that can be accessed for free on the page,” Leavitt said. “It’s a fun way to get kids interested in talking about being safe online.

They know so many things, but as parents, we need to make sure our children and teens do it safely.” iKeepSafe originated in 2003 as an effort from the Leavitts, then grew as the First Spouses from other states joined.

While Leavitt has written other books ranging on experiences such as hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics and the tornado that uprooted 90 trees on the capitol lawn, she is dedicated to the cat who gives schoolchildren practical internet lessons.

“I enjoy writing,” said the former elementary school teacher. “It’s more compelling and necessary to write about online safety. It’s vital our parents and children know about it and are making healthy online choices.”

Once schools resume, Leavitt plans to read about Faux Paw’s latest adventure to school children and share with them internet safety rules she’ll pass out on bookmarks — and she may even be asked what is Faux Paw the Techno Cat’s next adventure.

“If there are new areas that we need to address, then I’ll write another,” Leavitt said.

“There’s no set number, but we do the books as we need them to ensure the children’s, students’ safety online.” l

“A true sanctuary will not exploit animals in any way shape or form,” said Ching. “Our animals don’t have a job to do to qualify to live here. The animals come first here.”

Even though times are difficult at the sanctuary right now, Ching said they will figure out a way to keep going.

“We will survive no doubt,” said Ching. “I will do whatever I need to do to make sure of that. We will survive.”

Utah’s assistant principal of the year impacts 3 local middle schools

I To the families we serve, The Larkin Mortuaries and Cemeteries are proud and honored to be assisting families and friends with their loss for the past 135 years. Given the reality of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is important for you to know that we as funeral directors are taking precautions to limit exposure to the coronavirus. As we have always done, we are still operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week making certain that those entrusted to our care and the families we serve are receiving uninterrupted service and attention.

In the last days and weeks, the Larkin management have been in regular contact with numerous state and federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control, National Funeral Directors Association and the Salt Lake County Health Department. Our continuing goal is ensuring the health and safety of the public and that the information we receive is as current and accurate as possible. These are just some of the changes we are implementing: • We are sanitizing our facilities several times daily • We are asking staff to stay home when possible • We are encouraging arrangements by phone and email • We are limiting the gathering size of our arrangement conferences, services and gravesides to meet the state and federal mandates That said, people will still be passing away and families will want to say goodbye. We still have a myriad of options. Your funeral director will explain ways that you can memorialize your loved one in a meaningful way.

If you are experiencing a cough, fever, or shortness of breath, we encourage you to not attend funeral services. Reach out to the Larkin location handling services and we will be willing to share your sympathies with the family of the deceased and they may also offer some other options to let the bereaved know that you support and care for them during this difficult time. Notes of sympathy may also be left on our website for the family to see. Every obituary on our website allows for online condolences.

n the past 11 years, Assistant Principal Audrey Fish has impacted students and staff at West Jordan High (2009-10), Elk Ridge Middle (2010-16), Oquirrh Hills Middle (2016-20) and Fort Herriman Middle (present) with her innovative ideas and perceptive philosophies.

Co-workers describe her as enthusiastic, energetic, creative, a go-getter, fun, generator of great ideas, loyal, nurturing, positive and insightful. Fish was recently named Utah’s Secondary School Assistant Principal of the Year and moved on to finish in the top three assistant principals nationally.

“She’s very deserving to be in the top three,” said Oquirrh Middle School Principal Donna Hunter. “I’m so happy for her that she was able to be recognized for her hard work, good ideas and her follow-through.”

Other former and current colleagues echo Hunter’s sentiments.

“Even though Audrey no longer works at Elk Ridge Middle, her leadership and legacy she left behind continue to impact us in many positive ways,” said Elk Ridge teacher Patricia Bronson.

“She truly loves the students and teachers at the school, and it shows in her actions,” said Fort Herriman Principal Eric Price. “She is always looking for new ways to help the students and teachers. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and she has been a great addition to our team.

She has already made an impact even though she has only been here since February.”

Fish said she has benefitted from supportive co-workers.

“I would say every principal and vice principal I’ve worked with has helped with this award,” Fish said. “They’ve helped shape me and allowed me opportunities to grow. It’s been a wonderful journey.”

Fish is a fanatic supporter of teachers.

Celeste Butler said when Fish joined the staff at Fort Herriman Middle, she quickly learned staff members’ names and made an effort to personally connect with each one.

“She is a very enthusiastic, positive leader,” Butler said. “She has been willing to help in any way she can.”

“She isn’t someone who sits back and waits for others to do the work or someone who just oversees projects,” Bronson said.

“She jumps in and contributes, always with a smile and positive direction.”

What makes Fish an exceptional administrator is the social emotional lens that shapes her interactions with others.

“While at Elk Ridge Middle School, Audrey brought respect and compassion as she encouraged teachers, staff and students to see situations from other points of view rather than from our own limited perspective,” Bronson said. “She embraces difficult situations not as problems but rather as opportunities to grow and become better. She understands that when people make mistakes, they should be

given chances to learn from those mistakes.”

When students are sent to her for discipline issues, Fish applies restorative justice.

She guides them through the process of examining the effects of their actions and problem solving to repair the wrong and restore damaged relationships.

Butler said Fish’s influence helps her see struggling students in a different light.

“I always see the situation a bit differently after Audrey has shared her insights and perspective,” she said.

Fish shares her social emotional viewpoint with teachers by example and through group book studies in which she encourages teachers to incorporate social emotional elements into their curriculum to benefit students as well as to diffuse their own stressors.

“The goal is to respond versus react whenever situations arise in our lives,” Fish said. This philosophy has shaped the way administrators, teachers and students have adapted to the abrupt change to online school due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The FHMS administration regularly checks in with teachers to support them in managing this new way of teaching while balancing the time needed to help their own children with online learning.

“We are helping our teachers as if they are our own students so that they can help their students,” Fish said. “We’re paying attention to their social and emotional health and well-being.”

To support teachers in their professional growth, Fish was one of the first administrators to implement peer instructional coaching for teachers, which has become a standard in Jordan District schools.

“If we want to improve student learning, we want to do that one teacher at a time,” Fish said.

Her idea is that peer coaches help teachers to feel supported and to grow as professionals as they help each other fine-tune their teaching strategies.

Fish continues to apply effective education practices she discovers in books and at professional conferences. As a national finalist, she has the opportunity to share her philosophies and successes on the blog of the National Association of Secondary School Principals. l

Learning centers shift tutoring services online during soft closure of schools

DON’T SETTLE FOR AVERAGE.

By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com ocal learning centers are delivering online individualized student lessons as a continued solution for families in need of educational support during the COVID-19 pandemic.

At Sylvan Learning of Centers of Utah, Executive Director Mike Loudon said that the centers provide online services, engaging individual students in their learning experiences.

“Most of our students are learning math, reading and writing and we’re tutoring in homework assignments,” he said. “We’re using Sylvan Live to connect our students and teachers together in an adaptive learning.

We’re doing it live, together, customizing students’ education.”

While Sylvan teachers use their own curriculum, which helps about 70% of the students who seek “catch-up” learning, they do not have homework to add to students’ and parents’ workloads. However, Loudon did say Sylvan teachers help about 50% of their students who seek help with school assignments.

“Many families struggle to do the homework. Some parents aren’t ready to step-in to teach.

It’s just one more thing when there’s so much stress at home,” he said. “We know high school kids are not getting the same education with worksheets, question and answer session where they can’t even raise their hands. With 40 kids on Zoom, they’re not all going to learn or understand a concept. Schools are trying their best, but it’s not for everyone. That’s where we can step in to help.”

Loudon said that because they are live and engaged with each student individually, Sylvan teachers can be consistent in the student’s education.

“Our programs are customized to help each student so we can get them from where their education is now to where it should be.

What may be interesting is that our students may actually come out ahead as educators predict there will be a slide come fall. Our students are getting the help now so they won’t need a major review and they will have gained confidence in their skills,” he said.

Meanwhile, Loudon said that the percentage of students who come to keep their skills current or enrich their education usually grows in the summer and he is predicting that this summer may be “a whole different look.”

“Families will have to understand their student may not be getting the education they’ve expected and will look into different learning options like Sylvan. We expect a boom in calls. We can provide K-12 funda-

First look at the Herriman City Budget

By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

T

he unknowns associated with COVID-19 are stressful for everyone, not the least of which are Herriman City staff members and elected leaders as they try to put together a budget for the next fiscal year.

“We don’t have any idea how long this pandemic might last and how it will affect our budget,” said Herriman City Finance Director Alan Rae during an April 8 City Council meeting.

The biggest impact to Herriman’s budget will be a hit to its sales tax revenue, which constitutes the single-largest source of revenue for the city. In fiscal year 2018-2019, sales and use taxes made up 64.5% of its revenue.

With spending down and many businesses closed for an indefinite amount of time, it’s hard to know how much of a hit the city will take.

With that in mind, the budget and finance committee had to consider how much to change its approach to the budget process this year. Do committee members plan on this ending soon or err on the side of caution? According to Rae, they decided to fall somewhere in between.

“We decided that we should budget normal, but we’ve entered some safeguards into this budget to try to make sure that our budget is consistent with what the market ends up giving us over the next few months,” he said.

As an example of these safeguards, certain new employee positions and vehicle purchases scheduled to take place this fiscal year are required to wait until January 2021.

“This will give time to review the situation before we add employees,” Rae said.

Other precautions city officials are taking to save money include a freeze on all in-state travel and training through the rest of the year as well as a freeze on out-of-state travel for a whole calendar year.

As for what changes are in the budget, here are a few of the departments that will have a little more to spend this year.

Legal: +$251,138 City leaders are planning to replace an attorney they previously retained on a contract basis with an additional in-house attorney.

Human Resources: +$52,588 The time has come for city leaders to conduct another wage and benefit study, which can be costly. The goal is to find out if Herriman City employees are paid above or below the average for similar cities.

Information Technology: +$44,921 According to Rae, the licensing and subscription fees for many of the software programs used by the cities’ departments continue to increase.

Economic Development: +$304,915 City leaders are still in the hunt for the first economic development director. Assuming they find the right fit sometime this year, it’ll mean another department-head level salary and benefits package to pay out.

Street Maintenance +$573,139

In addition to the costs of a couple new vehicles, Rae said city officials are dedicating more money toward annual road maintenance throughout the city.

Police: +$425,156 The Herriman Police Department, now in its second year, continues to grow as it projects to add one new full-time position (a detective) this year. It’s also time to cycle out some of the older vehicles for newer models,

according to Rae. All of this is subject to change, as the council will have an opportunity to provide feedback and revisions. Once the council does that, the budget will be made available for the public to examine and give their own feedback. The public hearing for the budget is tentatively scheduled for May 27. After that, the council will have to adopt a budget sometime before June 20. l

Herriman leaders must balance optimism and pessimism as they prepare the budget for the next fiscal year.

Olympia Hills referendum campaign comes to an end amid COVID-19 complications

O

By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

n March 4, the group Utah for Responsible Growth held a kickoff event for the signature-gathering campaign that aimed to put a referendum on the Salt Lake County Council’s approval of Olympia Hills on ballots in November. Exactly one week later, Rudy Gobert of the Utah Jazz tested positive for the coronavirus.

There’s seemingly nothing that has not been impacted by the global pandemic, including the ability to gather signatures for referendums, campaigns and petitions. Referendums are particularly negatively impacted because they have a 45-day window of time to gather signatures. So, group members don’t have the option of waiting until the world returns to normal.

Utah for Responsible Growth had its application to begin gathering signatures approved (and their 45 days started) on March 30. The day before, Salt Lake County leaders had issued their stay-at-home order. However, organizers received some good news a few days later when Gov. Gary Herbert announced that Utahns gathering signatures for referendums would be able to do so electronically.

“Citizen initiatives are an important part of our democratic process here in Utah,” said the memo released by Herbert’s office. “At this time, however, door-to-door signature gathering poses an unnecessary health risk, both to signature gatherers, and to the households they visit.”

Optimism ran high following the governor’s announcement. Some might have even wondered if the possibility of gathering signatures electronically would be an advantage

Residents of the southwest part of the valley, including from Herriman, Riverton and South Jordan, overwhelmingly expressed their opposition to the project in January during a town hall at Copper Mountain Middle School. They cited a lack of infrastructure needed for such a large development. (Justin Adams/ City Journals)

because of its convenience. Utah for Responsible Growth released a video, walking viewers through the process. They merely had to print out a signature sheet, sign it, either take a picture or scan of the document, then turn it back in through email or even text, all from the comfort of home.

But it was not to be.

On April 8, referendum organizers received a memo from the Lieutenant Governor’s Office clarifying some questions that still remained. Critically, it stated that each individual signature page still had to be accompanied by a printed-out copy of the law that is the subject of the referendum, even though Herbert’s initial executive order suspended that requirement.

Because the Olympia Hills’ Master Development Agreement stands at 277 pages, organizers would have had to print all 277 pages for each signature page it received from the thousands of households needed.

“Based on 277 pages from 60,000 homes, we would have been required to print nearly 16 million pieces of paper at a cost of over $1 million. For a volunteer resident group, this is an impossible amount to come up with,” said a press release sent out by Utah for Responsible Growth.

This led URG to make the decision to suspend its referendum campaign, calling the situation “unfortunate” in its press release.

The statement also questioned the appropriateness of the rules being allowed to change after the process had already been started, and for not being more flexible for the current situation.

“Our referendum laws in the state need to be updated to reflect the many ways available now to gather information and communicate with all voters,” group members said in the release.

Now, URG is turning its attention to November’s elections as members “support candidates and policies that reflect our values,” including some local leaders who were engaged in the referendum process who are now seeking higher offices. l

few weeks into schools’ soft closure, it snowed, leaving a few inches in Lexi Jensen’s backyard.

More importantly, it snowed on the basketball court.

Her mother, Lyndsay Jensen, looked out the window to see Lexi shoveling snow off the court.

It might be the best way to describe Lexi and her love for basketball.

“I’ve always said this about Lexi, when she has a goal in mind and she has something she wants to work toward, she’s very disciplined,” Lyndsay said.

Her dedication and work ethic, combined with a healthy dose of talent, are what sets apart the Herriman sophomore.

Named second team All-State and the only sophomore on the competitive Region 3 first team, Jensen has made a name for herself in just two short years on the high school basketball scene.

The point guard led her team in scoring and racked up over three steals a game.

“She has a high basketball IQ, very high understanding of what needs to be done and where her opportunities are on both offense and defense to be successful,” said Herriman High girls head coach Kent Smith.

After a freshman season that saw her come off the bench and play meaningful minutes, Smith knew Lexi would improve but maybe not to this extent.

“I knew she would be a lot better, but I didn’t know that she would be one of the best players in the state,” Smith said.

Physical It was her work off the court, or outside of practice, that make it possible.

For the past 18 months, she participates weekly in the Complete Shooter program where she works on different ways of scoring and shooting technique among other things. And it appears to have helped.

“She’s an elite shooter,” Smith said. “She shot 45% from the three-point line as a sophomore in high school, which is just amazing.”

During the school closures and home isolation, Lyndsay said Lexi wakes up, gets her schoolwork done and then goes straight into her workouts—running, lifting, skills work.

“She spends so much time outside every day, shooting, whether it’s free throws or working on left-handed layups, dribbling drills. I’m constantly rebounding for her three-pointers,” Lyndsay said. “There are certain spots around the arc she has to make before she’ll be done. She’s very dedicated in the amount of time she puts in out there every single day. I’m not joking, it’s every day.”

For Lexi, she just wants to get better every day.

“I just want to be at my top-notch level that I can be at to try and be the best in the state,” Lexi said. “My dedication to the sport and working on my game on all different levels, that really helps me get to where I need to be.”

Some of that work involves dribbling drills, whether it’s with both hands or dribbling while tossing a racquetball in the air with the other. She even has a “move of the day” she works on and posts to her basketball Instagram account.

“She has extreme ball-handling skills,” Smith said. “She does amazing workouts with two basketballs often. Her handling of the basketball is just great.”

Sophomore Lexi Jensen drives to the basket against Fremont during the state tournament. (Photo by Terry Cullop.)

Mental That work ethic extends to the mental aspect as well. Jensen said she’s always trying to learn more about the game like how to move off the ball to get her or a teammate open.

She regularly goes to local Division 1 basketball games. She watches YouTube videos of Steph Curry moving without the ball.

This past season, she would watch film of a game two or three times. Often, after finishing her math homework in class, she’d even watch film with her math teacher, Jonathan Haag, who was also the assistant coach.

“She’s just a sponge,” Smith said.

Mentally, Jensen said she used to struggle allowing mistakes to bug her or rattle around her brain. “I just learned that if you want to be a good basketball player, your mind’s got to be right.

If I miss a shot, I’m going to make the next one, and I just have to keep that mentality. If I miss one shot, it won’t affect my whole game.”

That mentality also led to one of the more memorable moments of the season: a 15-point third quarter (13 of which came from Jensen) against Bingham to inspire a historic road win.

In a tight first half, none of Jensen’s shots were falling. But on the first possession of the third quarter, Jensen found a little space in the corner to nail a three-pointer. After that she just let it fly, outscoring the Miners by herself in the quarter.

“That was the difference in getting us our first win over there at Bingham,” Smith said.

“It was just a thing of keeping my head up and not letting me

So as an outlet, they tried putting her in taekwondo, noting the effect it had on her balance, focus and discipline.

“I think starting at a really young age,” Lyndsay said. “She just was constantly working on both hands, right hand, left hand in perfecting her skills with taekwondo, and I think it carried over into her basketball and ball-handling.”

Jensen earned her black belt at age 8, adding she thinks it made her more aggressive and not scared of contact on the court.

Meet Austin Linford: Herriman High’s new volleyball coach

uring a volleyball game long ago, Austin Linford had just blocked the ball. But felt something odd in his hand. When he lifted it up, his pinky, at the first joint, flopped backwards.

It had torn off.

One of his teammates threw a towel around the hand and Linford left the game, got 15 stitches (some crazy glue was involved), taped it to his other finger and returned to the game.

That story has followed him too.

Linford was coaching at a camp when he started talking to a boy whose dad played on that same volleyball team with Linford. The boy’s dad would always tell the story of a teammate who snapped his finger and played again, he just wanted to know if the story was real or not.

“I showed him the scar on my finger,” Linford said laughing.

“His dad was the one who grabbed the towel for my hand.”

Linford, now 54, was recently named the Herriman High girls volleyball coach. And he’ll have plenty of injury stories to share with his new team.

Originally from Southern California, Linford played junior college before going to USC where injuries cut short his Trojan career (knee surgery and multiple shoulder surgeries through the years).

Now in Utah for the last 20 years, Linford is a regular on the volleyball circuit, whether assisting at Bingham, most recently Lone Peak, running the boys program for Club V or refereeing.

He’s had a few opportunities to take over a high school program, but Linford said they weren’t the right fit. But coaching with Reed Carlson at Lone Peak the last few years “kind of pushed me over the top,” he said. “I feel I’m ready to do this.”

Though Herriman may be closer to home for the Daybreak resident, it’s the program’s potential that has Linford excited. He noted how Herriman has dozens of new families moving in each year, something the east side schools don’t enjoy.

“That to me is very attractive,” he said. “The idea of growing a program when you get new blood all the time is really good.”

Carlson has known Linford for years and expects him to

have an immediate impact at Herriman.

“He is super passionate about helping athletes and cares about their success deeply,” Carlson wrote in an email to the Herriman Journal. “He will put in the time to make sure they are growing right out of the gate. I imagine he will inspire the whole program to increase their commitment level and workload.”

Linford, who already has his assistants set and a person to run the junior high program, is a big believer in the technical side of the game.

“If you can serve and pass and play defense, everything else is fairly simple,” he said.

If the pandemic subsides enough for summer programs to be held, Linford said workouts would focus on improving skills and knowing how to perform.

“Volleyball is a super-athletic sport,” he said. “But at the same time, it is really technical. Because of that, even if a great athlete just walks onto the floor, doesn’t mean they can play.”

Carlson described Linford as a positive and upbeat coach.

“He does a wonderful job explaining what he wants athletes to do and stays committed to helping them,” Carlson said.

His positivity helps him connect with the athletes, Linford said, but coaching also requires honesty.

“It’s much better to be very consistent, positive and be helping them understand when they’re performing and executing correctly,” he said. “So, when you need to correct them and help them, it’s not one of those things where every word out of your mouth is negative. My voice is the same as when I’m correcting them as when I’m telling them they’re doing great.”

While correction can be negative for some people, Linford emphasized how important it can be.

“If you can’t correct then you can’t get better, and volleyball is all about change, and change is hard,” he said. “But if we can make change a positive experience then what it really ends up doing is ... if they can make a change on the volleyball court, [then] they can make a change in the classroom, they can make a change in their life. And that’s the goal.”

That extends to himself as well. Linford said there are instances when he’ll realize that if he’s explained something 30 times and they’re still not doing it right, maybe it was his fault for not teaching it correctly.

“I love those moments when I can catch myself needing to do the learning,” he said. “That’s my favorite part of coaching.” l

Online school administrator offers tips on virtual education

By Libby Allnatt | l.allnatt@mycityjournals.com

W

ith Utah classrooms set to be closed for the remainder of the academic year, teachers, parents and students continue to adjust.

Social distancing guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19 have altered the daily lives of Utahns in everything from grocery shopping to working from home. As schools closed their doors in March, students found themselves thrust into learning remotely as teachers had to move lessons online in lieu of face-to-face instruction.

Erin Taylor, the principal of online school Utah Connections Academy and a school administrator of 15 years, said her advice to parents helping their children do school from home and teachers moving their lessons online is the same: keep things simple.

“What is most important? What’s the objective? Then work backward,” she said.

“We don’t have to be bringing the new flashy things in. Hit the basics, do what’s right in front of you. Having that be your daily objective would make less stress.”

While communication is important, too much can be overwhelming.

“I think everyone’s being bombarded on both sides with ideas. The best advice I can give is to simplify things,” she said.

Scheduling your day with a basic out-

line of tasks to do can be helpful for students doing their schoolwork virtually (and adults adjusting to working from home).

“It’s hard to put it away for an hour and come back to it,” Taylor said. “I think it’s best to schedule it in, then check the box that you’re done with the day.”

She also advises students to reach out to their teachers if they need help.

“We’re all learning as we go. Ask questions, and check in with your teacher rather than get frustrated,” she said. “On the other side is a person that wants to help.”

The current situation is here to stay a little while longer: Gov. Gary Herbert announced on April 14 that all public K-12 schools would continue to be closed through the rest of the 2019-2020 academic year.

But despite the challenges that come with any changes in one’s learning environment, there can be positive sides to remote learning as well, said Taylor.

“We see the advantage in that it allows people to focus on education and then be done with it for the day and move on to something else,” she said. “The flexibility is the best thing that virtual education brings.”

Taylor emphasized that with so much uncertainty, putting in your best efforts each day is all you can do.

“In this unprecedented time, we all need

to cut ourselves a lot of slack,” she said. “If that can be completely mastered overnight. we’re doing the best we can, that’s good “If we could just be conversational… enough.”

Herriman Arts Council hosts virtual talent show

uditoriums are empty and summer musicals are cancelled, but that isn’t stopping the Herriman Arts Council from bringing “Culture While Quarantined” through virtual events. From March 30 through April 14, the HAC hosted a virtual variety and talent show on Facebook.

“As an arts council we are thinking of things we could do to encourage people to utilize this time being quarantined,” said James Crane, chair of the HAC. “We started to sense that people were losing touch and not feeling connected.

We thought this was a way to take advantage of

the situation and find an upside in this.”

Fifty-one entries were posted to the Herriman Arts Council Variety and Talent Show event page on Facebook. Entries included more traditional singing and instrument performances as well as skits, cup stacking, Lego creations and even a ventriloquist sharing a sweet message about staying healthy during the quarantine.

The HAC, city representatives and the town mascot the Yeti met virtually to choose winners who will receive a gift basket with prizes from local businesses.

The Hall Family performed a comedic “Once there Kala Hyte performed an original song titled “QuarYouth winners included JT Rigby, Eliza was a snowman” medley (Photo from Facebook event an-TP” for the virtual talent show. (Photo from Face-

Wassom, Maxwell Broadhead, Benjamin Meibos, Katelyn Meibos, Savanna Wassom and Dallin Oaks.

Adult winners were Camille and Patrice Densley, Aimee Crandall, Amy Gwilliam, Mike Handy, Sean Hyte, Dave Winters, Kayla Hyte and the Hall family.

The Yeti award went to Julie Ann Money, Whitney Arnell and Emily Berbert.

Crane said it was difficult to choose between so many talented entries.

“The talent of all who participated was exceptional,” said Crane. “Honestly, everyone is a winner in my eyes just for having the courage to showcase their talent in this way. During this

time of ‘Stay home, Stay Safe,’ the HAC encourages residents to spend more time enjoying, developing and sharing their talents as well as exploring new creative outlets.”

The HAC has other virtual events planned for the future, including virtual art classes and virtual concert showcases. You can follow their Facebook page @HerrimanArtsCouncil to see future events.

“The arts have been really hit hard,” said Crane. “We know a lot of plays and musicals had to be cancelled. It has definitely been an interesting time, and that has driven our desire to help keep arts alive and in front of people.” l

The Social Media Scandal - What I Learned During Quarantine

by

Joani Taylor

Hopefully by the time this reaches your mail we are beginning to dip our big toe back into life again. Like many others, being thrust into solitary confinement, left me with some spare time to spend on social media, and thanks to my friends I learned so much about how to handle this disaster. With the vast array of opinions, I found putting it all together difficult though, but I gave it shot anyway. It’s all as clear as mud now, here’s what I learned.

Working from Home: If you are able to work from home you are lucky, unless you are required to work from home, then it’s horrible and you wished you could go to work, because working from home is too much work.

Keeping a Healthy Diet: In effort not to get sick we should eat well, but we should not go out to get healthy fresh food when we run out and eat whatever pre-packaged food we have on hand instead. However, we should order out at our local restaurants to help keep them in business. Then it’s okay to go out to pick up the food. Your food might be prepared by someone sick that doesn’t know they are sick, but it’s okay if you pay by credit card and take the food out of the container. However, you should avoid going to the grocery store at all costs because you might get sick.

Getting Sick: Wearing a mask is not helpful, but if you get sick you should wear a mask. But, don’t go to the hospital if you’re sick, because you might get sick if you do.

You might be sick and not know you’re sick,

so you should wear a mask even while driving alone in the car alone.

The Press: Every article starts with a panic headline designed to shock us. But when we read the article, we find it’s not so shocking after all and perhaps even a little boring, except when our friends post these articles to social media. Then we never read the article, we just start divisive arguments based on the shocking headline instead.

Politics: We are all be untied as American’s; we are proud, and this is the time we shine. But, if there’s a government action that we don’t approve of, then we are not united if we disagree with our friend. We might even be called names, because name calling on social media is okay. Huh???

Love: We love our partners so much we could not live without them, they are our everything, unless we have to live with them non-stop. Then we feel we’d rather live without them.

Home Schooling: Teachers are the saints and I can no longer remember why I even had kids.

Grandparents: You can’t see your grandkids, but if you’re a grandparent and work in a grocery store or pharmacy, then you can see someone else’s grandkids. You can avoid getting the virus and still see your grandkids virtually by using a computer program called Zoom but, watch out, your computer might get a virus instead.

Earthquakes: In the event of an earthquake get outside, but otherwise don’t go outside it’s not safe. Also, keep in mind that on the annual practice day called ShakeOut, there might really be an earthquake, then it’s no longer a practice day and you can go outside.

In all seriousness, I hope what every person takes away from this crisis, is to be prepared financially for an emergency. At Coupons4Utah.com we have spent the last 12 years helping families save a buck. Hopefully we will all remember to put that buck in the bank for next time.

For those families living without a loved one because of this virus, my deepest sympathies to you and yours. Be safe out there.l

As soon as COVID-19 hovered in the air we breathe, I went into full-on “Gone With the Wind” Scarlett O’Hara mode, ripping up bed sheets to make toilet paper and stockpiling moonshine for antiseptic. Of course, Scarlett was useless in an emergency. For the majority of the Civil War, she whined and married rich men.

I’m also pretty useless in emergencies.

When I knew the shelter-in-place edict was coming, I didn’t stockpile food, I scurried to the library to check out all the books.

After hoarding four months of library books, I told everyone in the house (my husband, my daughter and her two children, ages 3 and 8) to check their 72-hour kits.

They responded, “What 72-hour kits?”

Not a good start.

In the shed, I located an emergency essentials bag that looked like it had housed a family of weasels. Along with 10 years of dust, it contained an expired can of roasted almonds, a box of matches, a pair of underwear and a spatula.

We were doomed.

Tossing my hair like Scarlett, I tied on my shopping bonnet and sang out “fiddledee-dee” as I headed to the grocery store for provisions. By the time I got there, options were limited, unless I was keen on making a casserole with canned asparagus, creamed squid and buckwheat flour. I figured we’d just be creative with dinner. (Lesson learned: 3-year-old granddaughters don’t like creative dinners.)

Our meals usually consist of some type of egg for breakfast, leftover Easter candy

for lunch and something with hamburger or chicken for dinner. Could be spaghetti, could be soup. Hard to tell.

This has been the worst staycation ever. I do not recommend.

Both my husband and I can work from home, so we take turns sharing the home office space. One person works in the office with a comfy chair every other day, while the other person sits on a workout ball at a TV table in the bedroom.

It’s . . . complicated. And we’re adjusting to each other’s work behaviors.

Husband: Can you not leave dozens of half-empty water glasses by the computer?

Me: You silly scalawag! Are they half-empty? Or half-full?

Anyway, our attorneys are working out the final details.

My puppy, Jedi, is over-the-moon excited to have me around, LITERALLY sitting on my feet all day. She got even clingier when the earthquake rattled our home (not funny Mother Nature) and she made me carry her 60-pound furry body from room-to-room for the next week.

As life was boiled down to its necessities, I realized how often (in the before-times) I would bored-shop, bored-Starbucks and bored-TV-binge. Since March, I’ve narrowed that list down to bored TV binging. (Between “Better Call Saul” and “Ozark” I definitely

know I should avoid the Mexican drug cartel.)

As warmer weather approaches, I miss shopping for new spring clothes. Looking back on how Scarlett made dresses out of her velvet draperies, I tried channeling her creative spirit again. It was tough to made clothes out of our window coverings since we only have wooden blinds. But I did my best.

Pictures not available.

We’re still in lock-down mode. I replenish our milk and produce once a week. We walk the dog a dozen times a day. We work and eat and read and play games and get on each other’s nerves and fight and make up and write hopeful messages on the sidewalk in colorful chalk.

Like Scarlett, there are lots of things I’ll worry about tomorrow. But if we have books to read, food to eat and our family is safe, I’m very content in my little corner of the world.l

HVAC NEWSLETTER - ASK THE PROS!

Summer is around the corner and many homeowners ask “Should I Replace or Repair my central air conditioner?”

The Pro’s at Comfort solutions can help. Are you deciding whether to replace or repair your air conditioner? There are a few important factors that can help you decide the best choice for your home and family. As we spend more time in our homes during these uncertain times your families comfort and safety should be considered first. Next consider efficiency, cost and equipment life expectancy. Finally, what works best for your budget?

SHOULD I REPLACE MY AC? Here are some general guidelines when considering upgrading/replacing your central air conditioner. Most manufactures current life expectancy for your HVAC equipment is 18-20 years. If you have had small repairs during the 18-20 years of running your equipment and your central air all of a sudden stops working. It may be time to look at replacing your AC/ Furnace system. With that age of equipment repair cost can get expensive and those funds could be better used to replace vs repair. When you consider replacing your HVAC equipment you will likely gain higher efficiency equipment, reduced operating cost and more comfortable living environment. Ask for details on Variable speed, 18-20 Seer and smart phone controls. A new system will be reliable for years to come and keep your family comfortable year round.

Call the trusted 5 star pro’s at Comfort Solutions Today!

FURNACE & AC INSTALL

SHOULD I REPAIR MY AC? Here are some general guidelines when considering central air repairs. If your current equipment is less than 12-15 years old and has been properly maintained/serviced. Yes likely a repair will be a low cost solution. A very important factor to keeping good equipment in working order is annual service. In addition changing your filer every 3 months is highly recommended.

Air flowing properly thru your furnace/AC and ductwork is essential to helping your equipment last. While having your central air service and/or repaired be sure to ask about products that may help in your home such as programable thermostats, humidifiers and air filters/ Cleaners.

Lastly choosing the right HVAC provider should be simple and easy. Check out the on-line reviews of the company you are selecting. Google and BBB ratings are a very good indicator of what service you can expect from your HVAC professional.

Never buy out of a van! Visit your local HVAC business/ showroom to see working displays and options. Be weary of those providers who work out of a garage or small shop.

Finally stay away from gimmicks such as “Free Vacations” / “Free Furnaces” or “29.00 Tune ups”. These are all loss leaders or methods that are hidden in the final cost and/or repairs.
