COTTONWOOD HIGH STUDENT WORKS TOWARD DREAM OF BECOMING A DOCTOR By Heather Lawrence | h.lawrence@mycityjournals.com

ottonwood High senior Will Sintyl has big dreams. When his mom had health problems, Sintyl and his twin sister Kiki came to live with family in Utah. He’s worked hard to get on the honor roll, and the twins have flourished in Cottonwood’s ESL program. His hard work was recognized when Sintyl was recommended for a coveted place at the Congress of Future Medical Leaders at Harvard this past spring. “The Congress was a three-day event, and there were only a few other students from Utah there. To be accepted, you have to be recommended by a teacher. So, it was a surprise to me. I’ve always loved serving people and wanted to be a doctor,” Sintyl said. At the congress, high school students attend workshops and hear “grandmaster” speakers. Speakers include winners of the Nobel Prize and recipients of the National Medal of Science. Students are given advice on what to expect in a program by deans from top medical schools. “After all the workshops and seminars, I felt that I really want to be a cardiologist. And I thought, ‘I can do this,’” Sintyl said. Cottonwood counselor Lorraine Behling is a site coordinator for the Utah State University STARS GEAR UP! program. She used the program to help Sintyl receive funding that covered the cost of the congress. “This was life-changing for me, and my family has been so supportive. Even though the event had to be virtual this Cottonwood senior Will Sintyl holds his certificate from the prestigious Congress of Future Medical Leaders, which he attended this year.

Holladay has three charter schools—is one of them right for your student? By Heather Lawrence | h.lawrence@mycityjournals.com

harter schools are free public schools. They fulfill the requirements of the core curriculum, but can incorporate different teaching philosophies and emphasize certain subjects. Class sizes are similar to public schools, and teachers are licensed or working toward licensure. Charter schools are attractive, but their enrollment is limited, and their cultures aren’t the right fit for everyone. Here is information on three Holladay area charter schools.

WASATCH WALDORF CHARTER SCHOOL, 1458 E. MURRAY-HOLLADAY ROAD

Wasatch Charter School is a K-8 school based on the Waldorf education method. The school’s executive director, Emily Merchant, wanted her three daughters to attend a Waldorf school. When she couldn’t find one, she worked to create one, with the caveat that it be public. It opened in 2016. Students at Wasatch spend a lot of time outdoors. The school describes the Waldorf teaching modality as “holistic,” with a “deep spiritual and philosophical basis, [and] attention to the whole, developing child.” Gardening (their produce ends up in the lunchroom), bee keeping, music and handiwork are all part of the curriculum. The school recently installed solar panels. The Wasatch lottery happens in February. To enter, go to their website, www. wasatchwaldorf.org, and click “enroll.” Choose the school year and fill out the form with basic information for each student you want included in the lottery. Applicants who aren’t chosen are placed on a waiting list, and called if spots open during the year. Wasatch’s dress code steers students away from clothing with graphics and logos. It’s described in their online handbook.

CANYON RIM ACADEMY, 3005 S. 2900 EAST

Canyon Rim Academy is a K-6 charter school with about 500 students. CRA opened in 2007 in the old Canyon Rim Elementary School building. Parents who lived nearby were distraught when Granite School District announced the elementary school would close. They applied for a charter to create a new school using the same space. CRA emphasizes core curriculum, liberal arts and service learning. They provide music, art and drama. Principal Kent Fuller and social worker Suzy Tidwell both have experience in Granite School District. CRA also has a special ed team. CRA’s lottery can only be done in person in the office. The school hosts an open house in October, and after that, it takes lottery applications on a rolling basis. New placements are made monthly as spots become available. The dress code at CRA is similar to most private schools, with specifics on their web- In early March 2020, students at Wasatch Charter School celebrated the installation of solar panels on their school.

Continued from front page Sintyl said. Nancy Veit is a close friend of the Sintyl family and a nurse practitioner. She believes Sintyl not only has the intelligence to become a physician, but he has something more— ambition and drive. “He’s so bright and so quick. Intelligence is one thing, but what will always make the difference is your focus and ability to work. He has that persistence and drive for perfection. If he gets a 90% on a test, he retakes it if he can. They are both smart and courageous kids,” Veit said. Veit marvels at the progress the twins have made, and laughs about their communication efforts when they first moved to the Millcreek area. “They are both wonderful students, but they came to this country not speaking English. Their native language is Haitian Creole, and they speak French and a little Spanish. We were using phone translations the first few months they were here, which was pretty hilarious,” Veit said. Sintyl is preparing for a pharmacy tech program, something his sister-in-law Sharla Sintyl helped him find. He said the support of family in Utah and Haiti has meant a lot to him. “I have teachers who really believe in me, and they helped me with this program. And my family is the biggest support. They are pushing me to try new things; they sup-

His twin sister Kiki is equally wonderful. “[Sintyl] is very goal-oriented and wants to go to medical school. I have no doubt that this will happen for him. I’m so proud of him. He represents himself, his family and our school in an exemplary way,” Roylance said. Sintyl hopes he can show people that

when you have a dream, no matter how big, with hard work and the right support you can make it happen. “My advice for all the teenagers that are coming up in this generation is that the hardest things in life are the ones that are most worth it in the end,” Sintyl said. “Especially if you are struggling with depression and anxiety, this is part of life. You can face it. You can do anything you want, you can become whatever you want to be. If you can dream it, you can become it.” l

Holladay schools rely on School Resource Officers to build student relationships By Heather Lawrence | h.lawrence@mycityjournals.com

or students to learn best at school, they need to feel safe. In Granite District, that means utilizing School Resource Officers. SROs are law enforcement officers assigned to be in a school full time, and Holladay has three of them. “We developed our SRO program in conjunction with Unified Police Department as a security resource and cost-cutting measure. We cover a large geographical area and crime doesn’t stop at the school doors. Since the ’80s, it has been financially practical to have an officer assigned to a school,” said Ben Horsley, spokesperson for Granite District. The UPD website lists the three Holladay schools with full-time SROs. Olympus High’s officer Jaime Cardenas teaches two law enforcement classes. Olympus Jr. High’s officer is Thom Loevlie and Bonneville Jr. High’s officer is Tonya Lovell, one of only two female SROs. Granite School District employs its own police force, run by Chief Randy Porter. SROs work in conjunction with them, but are separate. As sworn police officers from the community, they are armed and can investigate crimes. “SROs are a presence in the school. People who are attracted to our force are experienced and want that community connection. Kids can take law enforcement classes from them. Students learn that police officers are our friends, they’re trustworthy and want to keep them safe,” Horsley said. Due to the unique nature of the position, there are specific qualifications for an SRO. They are hired and paid by UPD. However, the school district reimburses a portion of their paychecks back to the police force. Justin Hoyal is Chief of Police Services for Holladay City. Hoyal worked in schools from 1997- 2015 and hires SROs with input from Granite District. “The SRO job is about building relationships with students, so they need to be able to do that. Students trust them and will talk to them about things that are going on in the school,” Hoyal said. District officials say those relationships work both ways, and may keep students safer by mitigating improper use of force or abuse of power by law enforcement. “The idea is this concept of community policing,” said Doug Larson, attorney and director of policy and legal services for Granite District. “When officers don’t know their community, they may be quicker to use force instead of de-escalation. We train for de-escalation [at great length], so to have the SRO program in schools is part of the antidote instead of the problem.” “I’m the first to admit that police across the country have abused their power in many situations. Those aren’t limited to situations outside of schools. Our goal is to escalate this idea of community policing to such a degree that we minimize these abuses of authority,” Larson said.

HolladayJournal .com

UPD’s website aims to be transparent about its policies and procedures, including what mandatory training their officers have undergone for the past several years. More information can be found at www.updsl.org, and information specific to Holladay is under the tab “Our Communities.” If cuts in funding made it impossible to retain SROs, Hoyal said that would negatively impact schools and students. “What you lose if a school resource officer was taken out of a school for any reason, including lack of funding, is the relationship with students. We could always send an officer to a school but a patrol officer doesn’t have that relationship. “And if there is an emergency situation in the school, a resource officer is already there. They don’t have to wait for dispatch to send someone,” Hoyal said. The role of officers in schools is a balancing act. Over the years, several bills have tried to clarify the boundaries of SROs. HB 239 passed in 2017 and addressed juvenile justice. Larson gave input on crafting the legislation. “I spoke out against HB 239 initially because of lack of school input. We wanted to make sure it was in line with how schools are managing kids’ behavior, and to obtain resources that were suggested but not funded,” Larson said. “HB 239 helped define the point at which an SRO would step in. In the past without this guidance, they may have stepped in too quickly to try to become a disciplinarian. “An SRO is not an administrator with a badge and gun; they’re not enforcers. Before an SRO gets involved, we need to ask, ‘Is this an administrative issue, best handled by a school administrator? Or is it a crime?’” Larson said. Another bill in 2017, HB 92 was sponsored by Holladay representative Carol Spackman Moss. It addressed the use of physical restraint in schools, especially with students with special needs. Spackman Moss said the bill wasn’t drafted with resource officers in mind, but it can affect them. “The Disability Law Center gave me articles from all over the country where a school resource officer had come into a room because things were escalating and a student was considered dangerous. Kids get bigger and they’re hard to restrain. Kids can and have died,” Spackman Moss said. Spackman Moss also heard from parents of students with disabilities. Some get physical and cause damage to classroom equipment. How to react when that happens is a contested topic. “When it comes to students with autism or other disabilities, some aren’t able to express how they’re feeling. I had a parent talk to me about her daughter who has autism and is nonverbal. Someone who didn’t know her triggers wouldn’t understand why she was acting out. “It touched a nerve with me, the idea

that a child who can’t explain why they’re frustrated or upset would ever be restrained. This parent said that she’d rather pay for a 100 broken iPads before she’d want her child restrained. I’m really glad that bill passed,” Spackman Moss said. Before her political career, Spackman Moss taught English at Olympus High. “We always liked the SROs at Olympus. I know there are criminal activities going on in high schools, so we need them. With that many kids in the same place, you need a police officer. And in the event of a school shooting or life threatening event, they’re essential.” Spackman Moss said the goal of relationship-building between students and SROs works. “I had an SRO tell me that because he was there each day, kids would tell him things that were going on. He knew which kids were in gangs. He knew about thefts and break-ins,” Spackman Moss said. As the SRO role continues to be refined, Horsley and Larson agree one improvement would be increased diversity of the SRO force. “There’s no question—we have room to improve. Our ability to hire and retain a more diverse workforce is a challenge for us,” Lar-

son said. “If you saw our [Granite District] police force, it is diverse. We’re always working to increase opportunities to hire so our demographics can look more like that of our student body. Those who speak Spanish are highly sought after. And right now I know of only two female SROs in GSD,” Horsley said. GSD and UPD both have the same goal: to “provide for a safe environment conducive to learning.” “We can do a better job of letting people know that officers are in schools and what they’re doing here. Every day people are coming up with new ways to pose threats to our schools. We want the kids here to know that officers are keeping them safe and building relationships,” Horsley said. Hoyal agreed. “The role of SRO is very important. I’ve worked in schools before, I’ve been there and it works. I’ve personally had cases where kids have disclosed abuse or guns in school, or that one of their classmates put graffiti in the bathroom. For all these types of things, we are there to be a help and an asset to students,” Hoyal said. l

A quiet pillar of Holladay for 60 years, Gwen Giles heralds a healthy diet and grows beautiful produce By Sona Schmidt-Harris | s.schmidtharris@mycityjournals.com

ith an unassuming presence, Gwen Giles quietly changes the world. She does this simply by providing good food and nutritional education. Born in a rural farming community in southeastern Idaho, Giles learned to work alongside her parents. “I enjoyed being with my dad, and as I grew, I would help haul hay by driving the tractor or tromping the load down on the wagon,” Giles said. “One trip as I was riding on the loose hay—it was not bailed at that time—as we turned a corner, the wagon load slipped, and the whole load of loose hay slid off with me,” she said. Giles ended up on the bottom of the load of hay. After her father pulled her out of the hay and gave her a “good-natured scolding” for not tromping down the hay properly, she blamed the problem on a mouse that she dropped into the hay when it bit her finger. She also had other duties on the farm one of which was gathering windfall apples so her mother could make them into applesauce, which was served warm for breakfast. “I was also assigned the job of gathering the eggs from the chicken coop each day. This was a job that I did not enjoy because I hated the feel of feathers,” Giles said. “I could take mice away from my cats before they killed them or pick up the water snakes that often came in with the irrigation water, but I did not like feathers.” An active child, she played physical games with other children including Red-Rover, Red-Rover, Kick the Can, Run Sheep Run, Drop the Hankie and others. After becoming sick with chicken pox and measles, Giles became infected with rheumatic fever and spent nearly a year on bedrest. “For an active child who had a hard time sitting still, it was hard to adjust to being so restricted in my activity,” she said. “As my heart healed and grew stronger, I enjoyed riding my bicycle to music lessons for the piano and playing baseball. However, I needed someone to run the bases for me as running was too strenuous for me yet.” Giles’ father kept a garden for the family and didn’t always like her and her sister walking in it, as they were not always careful to avoid walking on his plants. To remedy the problem, he made a small garden for Giles and her sister “in which we planted garden peas, lettuce and sometimes radishes that we could eat with our ‘play dinners.’” Perhaps it was the experience with her garden and play dinners that led Giles into the nutrition field. She graduated from Utah State University with a major in Food and Nutrition and a minor in Child Development. After graduation, she completed a one-year

internship in Dietetics at the University of Oregon, Hospitals and Clinics at Portland. Later, she enrolled in the Master’s Division at the University of Utah and graduated in 1993. After finishing her internship at the University of Oregon, she began working at Salt Lake County General Hospital as a cafeteria dietitian, then at the 12th Avenue VA Hospital as a therapeutic dietitian, and later as an administrative dietitian at the Fort Douglas VA Hospital. Though she was a busy woman educating herself, she wanted marriage and children. She married Allen Giles, her current husband with whom she has been married for decades and with whom she had four children. Throughout most of her early career, the Giles lived in an apartment in the Capitol Hill area. Then in 1960, they purchased their home in Holladay and moved to a residence with a good-sized plot of land. About the time she had her firstborn son, she became a stay-at-home wife and mother. When her youngest child was 10 years old, she accepted a position at Salt Lake Community College teaching nutrition. She taught at the college for 15 years and received a “Teaching in Excellence Certificate” in June 1995. “I taught student nurses, cooks, advance placement learning high school students and general education students who needed a science class to fill a requirement,” she said. In addition to her career in dietary education, Giles also grew fresh produce and

both provided and sold it in her community. “My husband loved to grow a large garden at our home in Holladay. He loved raspberries, and we started a patch with berry starts that we brought from my parents’ home in Idaho. As our patch grew in size, I had more berries than I needed for us and gave some to our neighbors. Soon, they were asking me if I would sell them some for their canning needs. I don’t know when exactly this happened, but we continued to sell berries until my husband’s health began to fail, and he could no longer care for his garden.” The Giles also sold green beans, raised chickens and sold extra eggs to the neighbors. Some years, they also sold cucumbers and raised turkeys. As a nutritionist, Giles put her money where her mouth was, so to speak, regarding eating a healthy diet. “If it grew, we canned, froze or dried it for winter use,” she said. This included pears, peaches, cherries, apples made into applesauce or apple butter, apricots and Concord grapes among others. “English walnuts from our trees were dried, frozen and used in cooked desserts. If there was a good catch of trout or freshwater fish, they were bottled. If hunting season brought us a deer, we bottled venison. One year, a neighbor shared mushrooms from a farmer with us and I bottled them.” Favorites of the Giles’ children included dill and sweet pickles and pickled dilly beans. Another collective favorite was frozen, whole-kernel corn. Their big backyard still comes in handy,

and Giles’ grandchildren and great- grandchildren enjoy picking fruit. Reflecting on her life, Giles said, “Teaching students was probably the most rewarding thing I have done other than raising my family. I loved challenging the students to understand why their diet was important.” “When I saw the students finally grasp the concept that I was explaining, and I watched their faces suddenly light up with understanding, then I felt like I was a successful teacher.” Giles appears also to have been a successful mother as well and enjoyed creating for her children and grandchildren. She made clothes, stuffed animals, baby booties, mittens and Barbie Doll dresses for them among other things. Motherhood was a chance to offer opportunities for learning. “I enjoyed taking our children to visit the tourist attractions and talking about our heritage and family stories of ancestors. Taking them to stage plays and museums gave them a chance to see other ways of learning. I loved being with my children, and I often planned activities for birthday parties when we made cookies or small individual loaves of bread for the visiting children to take home,” she said. “I loved being a mother and although there were times when I felt like I had failed my child, that was when I learned the most about them and me.” Giles continues to learn and will continue to educate in her own quiet way. l

JANAURY 2021

MAYOR’S MESSAGE January 17th marks the 5-year anniversary of the tragic shooting death of Officer Douglas S. Barney. Doug’s life was taken on a quiet Sunday morning while responding to a routine traffic incident. This tragedy continues to remind us of the real dangers our Police Officers face in service to our community. We honor Doug with a “HOLLADAY BACKS THE BLUE” weeklong event this year. It is our opportunity to thank the Holladay Unified Police Precinct for their continued dedication to the citizens of Holladay. On Monday, January 11th we will post banners of our officers throughout the Holladay Village. Activities have been organized in support of the event and will run through January 17th (see associated ad). When you see one of our officers on patrol or out in the community, do not hesitate to give them a wave, or simply let them know how much we appreciate their service. For those that knew Doug, there would be no better way to honor his memory. To say 2020 was a challenging year would be an understatement. But as the saying goes, “it’s always darkest before the dawn”. With the vaccine rolling out, there is a growing sense of optimism in the community. As much as we all appreciate the role technology has played in helping us navigate the pandemic, we look forward to the days when a meal can be shared with friends and family, school activities are back to normal, we can attend live concerts/plays/movies, and gather with family, friends and colleagues face-to-face. A remnant of these challenging times may be a new-found appreciation for each other. In the meantime, let’s not let our guard down. Continue to wear your mask, social distance, wash your hands … Though there is light at the end of the tunnel, we must continue to protect one another until we get the green light from our health care professionals. Finally, a note of personal thanks to those that have sacrificed the most during the pandemic. Not everyone had the luxury of pivoting to a remote work environment. Those tasked with delivering the day-to-day services so essential to our community; health care professionals, teachers, police officers, fire fighters, food service workers, and everyone else that fits in to this category--- THANK YOU! You were and continue to be the heroes among us. Perhaps another positive remnant of this pandemic will be abandoning our urge to look outside of our own community for the leadership and inspiration we crave. What we hoped would come from Washington was alive and well in our own back yard. As long as this continues to be the case, our future remains bright. I wish you and your family an abundance of good health, happiness and prosperity in the New Year!!! – Rob Dahle, Mayor

CITY INFORMATION

CO Poisoning Prevention Tips By Capt Dan Brown, UFA 2021….If you would have asked me 6 months ago, I would have said I couldn’t wait for it. Now that it’s here, it almost feels like an extension of 2020. I will have my usual New Year’s resolutions: be a better husband, father and firefighter, try and eat better, this one is especially important as I literally put on 20 pounds during quarantine, and take better care of myself physically. But, this is a safety article, so enough about me and here are some information. Being a firefighter, I have responded on literally hundreds of carbon monoxide (CO) calls. According to the CDC, at least 430 people die in the US from accidental CO poisoning every year and 50,000 visit the emergency room. The most common symptoms of CO poisoning are headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion. People who are sleeping or who have been drinking alcohol can die from CO poisoning before ever having symptoms. One other thing… Do not hesitate to call 911! If you have any question whether there may be CO in your home, get everyone out and call us. We will come and investigate with our own CO monitoring equipment. It doesn’t matter what time it is, it’s better to be safe than sorry.

CO POISONING PREVENTION TIPS

• Change the batteries in your CO detector every six months. If you don’t have a battery-powered or battery back-up CO detector, buy one soon. • Have your heating system, water heater and any other gas, oil, or coal burning appliances serviced by a qualified technician every year. • Keep vents and flues free of debris. Debris can block ventilation lines. • Never leave the motor running in a vehicle parked in an enclosed or partially enclosed space, such as a garage. • Never run a motor vehicle, generator, pressure washer, or any gasoline-powered engine less than 20 feet from an open window, door, or vent where exhaust can vent into an enclosed area. • Never use a charcoal grill, hibachi, lantern, or portable camping stove inside a home, tent, or camper. • Never run a generator, pressure washer, or any gasoline-powered engine inside a basement, garage, or other enclosed structure, even if the doors or windows are open. • If you suspect CO poisoning, call 911 or a health care professional right away. • Have at least one CO detector on each floor including the basement

Holladay Hills UPDATE With site work once again under way on the old Cottonwood Mall site, now Holladay Hills, inquiries from residents have ramped up. Here is the most recent press release from the Developers: Infrastructure and road work have begun surrounding Holladay Hills, the 58-acre mixeduse project located at the former Cottonwood Mall site, which will include living and office space, along with dining, shopping and entertainment options and a central park for gatherings. The road work and infrastructure, which includes all utilities for the work to begin on the approved Block D of the master plan, which will comply with the Site Development Master Plan (SDMP) guidelines that went through years of community input and were initially approved by the City of Holladay in 2007. Utility work is anticipated to be done the first part of 2021, at which point construction will begin on the sub-terrain and vertical improvements to Block D. It is anticipated the Holladay Hills development will be completed within a range of the next five to ten years, subject to market conditions. Nelsen Partners are the architects of the master plan and Beecher and Walker Architects are the lead designers for Block D. Jacobsen Construction has been chosen as the general contractor. Woodbury Corporation, Millrock Capital, LLC and Ball Ventures, the developers of Holladay Hills, are appreciative the city and community’s for continued support and effort on behalf of this project. For more information and updates, visit https://holladayhills.com/.

The Benefits of Stormwater Infiltration Urbanization increases impervious surfaces (roof tops, concrete, asphalt). As a result, infiltration of stormwater decreases, reducing ground water recharge along with a lowering of the water table. This change in watershed hydrology alters the baseflow contribution to stream flow and it is most pronounced during dry periods. Capturing stormwater runoff and infiltrating it into the ground more closely mimics the natural water cycle. When land development in Holladay increases imperviousness, the developer is required to infiltrate stormwater runoff into the ground.

Holladay Youth Council Shout Out!

City Council to Consider a Property Tax Increase The year 2020 was very challenging, and we are all looking forward to new beginnings. As we kickoff this next chapter, we must ensure the future of our community remains bright. As a young city, Holladay has come a long way since its official incorporation just over 20 years ago. And, as one of the oldest communities in the Salt Lake Valley, key parts of what makes Holladay work – our roads, storm drains, curbs & gutters – are aged and in disrepair. These needs are urgent. We must decide how to move forward strategically to ensure our quality of life and current levels of service in our beautiful City can continue.

Cheers to our Holladay Youth Council for helping a family of nine during the holidays through Utah Youth Village’s Sub-for-Santa program! For over eight years, HYC members have pitched-in to purchase, wrap, and help deliver gifts to ensure Utah Youth Village kids have a nice Christmas. It is the council’s most successful service project, and this year’s Council Mayors Emma Bywater and Sophie Whitehead coordinated the largest gift gathering to date! Thanks to our Holladay Youth Council for their continued support of Utah Youth Village’s Sub-for-Santa program.

Recognizing these challenges, the Holladay City Council asked 8 residents of the City - known as the Holladay@20 Citizen Advisory Group - to study the budget, the long- and short-term improvement needs of Holladay, and recommend how to fund them on a fiscally sound basis. The Citizen Advisory Group worked together for over a year, and after an in-depth study of the issues, the Group made their recommendations to the City Council in May 2020. In order to fund Holladay’s unmet project needs, the Group unanimously recommended the adoption of a new storm water utility fee, a prudent property tax increase and the pursuit of bonding for large projects. It was the judgment of the Citizens Advisory Group that all three approaches will be required to meet the needs of our city. The City Council will consider the Group’s recommendation for a property tax increase as part of Holladay's fiscal year 2021-22 annual budget process. The Council will seek and welcome feedback from our residents as we weigh this critical decision together. To help kickoff the 8-month process, the City Council has prepared a video series that explains the City's needs, budget challenges and strategies, funding tools, and property taxes. Watch the videos on www.holladay20.com/propertytax. Check for process updates and public input opportunities in the City monthly newsletter, on the project website and across the City social media accounts. Holladay’s future depends on all of us!

Holladay Crossroads (HCR) Zone Frequently Asked Questions

Thousands of Pets Helped in 2020

You may have heard that Holladay is considering adopting a new mixed-use zone in the area of 6200 South, Highland Drive and the Van Winkle Expressway. We’ve tried to answer some of questions about this zone we hear most frequently. If you would like to comment on the proposed zone, you may participate in the City’s public hearing.

By Salt Lake County Animal Services

CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING CONTINUED • January 7, 2021 @ 6:00pm Information on how to participate through Zoom will be available on the city’s website Comments can be emailed at anytime to scarlson@cityofholladay.com Q: Why is the City considering a new zone for this area? A: Holladay leaders have long been interested in investigating the land use, trafﬁc patterns and community design in the commercial area around the intersection(s) of 6200 South, Highland Drive and Van Winkle Expressway. When the City developed its new General Plan in 2016, this area was a particular area of focus. Over the last several years, a small area master plan (SAMP) for the area has been adopted by the City Council. Based on General Plan and SAMP guidance, the Planning Commission engaged the community in a discussion about how to best incorporate this vision into a new zone that, over time, will help transform that vision into reality. The City Council is now considering this recommended zone for the area. Q: What does this zone mean for existing property owners/businesses in the Holladay Crossroads area? A: If the zone is adopted, businesses that are currently operating in the Holladay Crossroads area will be able to continue operating as they are. When property owners or businesses want to make signiﬁcant changes to their property, the rules of the new zone may apply. The city’s general policy has been to consider rezoning only upon request by property owner(s). It is quite likely that it will take an extended period before the Crossroads area is uniformly zoned and cohesively developed. Business and property owners are invited to participate in dedicated Q & A sessions on January 12, 2021. Q: What are some of the main aspects of the new HCR zone? A: As currently envisioned, the proposed new HCR zone allows mixing of residential and commercial uses in the same building, moves buildings closer to the major streets, and allows for some building in the new zone to be up to 65 feet – about the same height as the Macy’s building on the existing Cottonwood Mall site. Buildings nearest to nearby existing Holladay neighborhoods can only be as tall as the zone allows for those neighborhoods.

Salt Lake County Animal Services is the largest, lifesaving (no-kill) municipal shelter in Utah. In 2020, we helped over 11,500 animals. We cared for a variety of pets including: cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, chickens, goats, pigs, reptiles, birds & small mammals. Salt Lake County Animal Services in 2020: • 11,500 pets were cared for or received services. • 3,400 owned pets received food from the Pet Crew Pantry • 1,850 pets were returned to their owners • 2,600 pets were adopted or sent to a rescue • 2,500 pets were spayed/neutered by the on-site clinic • AND SO MUCH MORE! Whether you have a pet or may be looking for a new one, please check out our website for adoptable pets, or programs for you and your current pet to take advantage of. Animal Services has other lifesaving programming that may interest you: volunteering, fostering, free virtual workshops, humane education presentations, sponsorships, and more. Please consider donating to the spay/neuter or injured animal fund: bit.ly/donate2slcoas. For more information visit AdoptUtahPets.org, check out our Facebook page, email animal@slco.org, or visit 511 W 3900 S in Salt Lake City. The shelter is open Monday – Saturday from 10 AM – 6 PM.

Q: What happens before this zone is adopted? A: The City Council will continue to listen public feedback before considering adoption of the HCR Zone. The next public hearing on the zone is scheduled for January 7, 2021. The City Council may continue to schedule opportunities for public input on the zone through January. The Council may make some changes to the draft zone language recommended by the Planning Commission prior to any approval. Q: Where can I ﬁnd out more about the zone? A: Additional information about the proposed zone, including the FB live event, is available on the City’s website at cityofholladay.com.

Aimee Winder Newton Salt Lake County Council | District 3

With the final approval of the 2021 Salt Lake County budget drawing near, I wanted to share some of the proactive steps we have taken as your County Council to tighten up spending. In June, because of concerns surrounding revenue impacts from COVID-19, we scoured our budget to find as many cuts as possible – leading to a massive $77 million budget reduction. Because of all the cuts we made in June, and because sales tax revenue did not fall as much as we anticipated, we ultimately had a fairly uneventful budget season. As we strive to be as fiscally prudent as possible, one of our top priorities is maintaining our AAA bond rating. We are one of only 27 counties in the entire nation with this highest-achievable bond rating. Keeping this bond rating results in much lower interest rates on bonds and loans. Here are some key principles I have always prioritized during the budget process, this year included. First and foremost, tax dollars don’t “belong” to the county. The funds are yours. Taxpayers entrust the county, or any government for that matter, with a portion of their hard-earned money because they expect that entity to pro-

vide essential services for society to function. There is no amount of tax dollars that is too small to be scrutinized. That is why I push back aggressively anytime I hear someone flippantly say, “It’s only x dollars… so we shouldn’t worry about it.” Any expenditure, whether it is $10 or $10 million, should be reviewed, and if it can’t be fully justified to the taxpayers, it should be cut. Second, I believe that all government functions should be viewed in two different categories: “need to have” and “nice to have.” The “need to have” list obviously includes things that are statutorily required of the county to perform, think constitutionally mandated services such as criminal justice and election administration. I also consider public safety to be in the “need to have” category, since keeping our residents safe is a core function of government. However, just because they are essential does not mean they are above scrutiny, because efficiencies can still be found. The “nice to have” list includes quality of life services the county provides, as well as any other program or initiative that can easily be described as a benefit to county residents, but

not necessarily considered essential. Libraries and open space some of the things in this category. The separation of these two categories demonstrates the same principle that every family in our county goes through in their annual budgets. They strive to live within their means and focus on essential family expenditures sometimes at the expense of luxuries. Lastly, I review each aspect of our budget and ask, “Is this the proper role of county government?” I’ve said many times that government can’t and shouldn’t be all things to all people. There are many programs or services that are better suited to other government entities, nonprofits, or the private sector. Particularly in a tight budget year, it’s important to review each program, service, or expenditure and ask that question again and again. I’m confident that these principles are the essence of good budgeting and fiscal discipline, and I will always advocate for this approach any time government is entrusted with taxpayer dollars. You can rest assured that for 2021, Salt Lake County has a balanced budget with no tax increase.

PERI KINDER

When my kids were little, I did a bit of substitute teaching. After I accidentally threw an encyclopedia and flipped a desk over, I realized teaching elementary school probably wasn’t for me. Teachers are comprised of strong stuff. The molten lava that flows through their veins gives them courage and an unbreakable gaze. A skeleton made of graphene (200 times stronger than steel) keeps them steady and protects their hearts. And those hearts beat a consistent tempo that opens doors to new worlds and encourages students to find their own rhythm. But teachers are exhausted. I attended Viewmont Elementary during the 1900s, where teachers were the top of the food chain. I worshiped the good ones, feared the difficult ones, and loathed the mean ones. I remember the “trip” our kindergarten class took to Hawaii where we ate coconut and learned the hula. And the teacher who caught us eating snowballs, so she melted snow to show us the dirt and grime. (I haven’t eaten a snowball in more than 45 years.) Or the teacher who shamed me for not knowing the word “chandelier.” School was where I learned

social skills. Okay, I learned them poorly, but I did learn some. I interacted with people my age where we talked about our favorite TV shows, what we had for dinner and whether my crush winked at me or had a tic. Today, students feel lost. My 8-year-old grandson started the school year online, changed to in-person learning, then went back online. He might enjoy hanging out with his mom, grandma, and little demon of a sister, but he misses his friends. Imagine trying to learn long division on a Zoom call. I couldn’t even learn it in person. Or imagine

hosting a virtual call for a class of first graders who have the attention span of a meatball. My mom thought education was vital, but if she had to supervise online learning for me and my four siblings, she would have sold us to the circus. Teachers are struggling. Kids are struggling. Parents are struggling. If we’ve learned one thing this crappy year, it’s that superheroes walk among us. Healthcare workers and winemakers are tied for the top spot on my list, with teachers, students, and parents finishing a close second by demon-

strating unprecedented resilience. Many kids are failing this year, but are they really? Can you fail when a global pandemic changes the rules? When teachers adapt daily to shifting conditions? Can you fail when parents work full-time jobs at home while staying on top of online assignments and hybrid schedules? Teachers are a mighty mix of educator/guidance counselor/ cheerleader/cruise director, and this year their creativity and patience has been tested. It brings to mind my husband’s favorite quote, “Looks like I picked the wrong [year] to stop sniffing glue.” This is a thank you to the teachers who work with my grandchildren. The teachers who are innovative and kind. The teachers who show up like a boss and get to work. This is also a thank you to the students who have proven to be flexible and strong. They’re all doing the best they can as they watch adults try to figure everything out. Maybe we write this school year off; maybe it’s not the year to learn geometry or teach Latin. Perhaps it’s the year we value kindness, connection, and self-care for everyone involved. I promise, there’ll be much less encyclopedia throwing and desk flipping.
