Robert Falck’s home at 1649 E. Lone Peak Drive is part of a new historic designation in the City of Holladay. Peri

The City of Holladay has a new historic des ignation: The Parade of Homes Lakewood Site Historic District, located at East Lone Peak Drive and South Fairoaks Drive. Homeowners in the district spent several years gathering the information necessary to send to the Utah State Historical Society and the National Parks Service for approval.DianaJohnson, who lives at 1635 E. Lone Peak Drive, addressed the city council in August to celebrate the historic recognition.

“We have been working for the last three years to recognize the uniqueness of the homes in our neighborhood and the neighborhood it self,” she said. “The Lakewood District retains the highest degree of historic integrity with 11 of the original 17 homes unchanged and exhibiting the characteristics and defining features that are representative of post-World War II subdivision and design.”Johnson became concerned about protecting the district when one of the original Parade of Homes houses was sold and scheduled for dem olition. She and other homeowners got together with the hope of preserving the remaining homes that represent architectural types and styles of the 1950s.

In keeping with the historic district, home owners cannot change the facade or roofline of the home or make additions that change the historic integrity.“We believe this is a feather in the cap of Hol laday City, that this historic designation highlights an important aspect of Holladay’s history and en hances a sense of community heritage,” Johnson said.

“We’re hoping to preserve and understand the nature of the neighborhood,” Falck said. “As homeowners, we’ve always been kind of proud that the houses were groovy and somewhat dis tinct. It was about preserving the heritage and the feel in the Neighborsneighborhood.”inthedistrict hope the city can provide new street signs that depict the historical designation of the neighborhood.

“The intention was to highlight the architec tural and historical uniqueness of the homes and was attended by approximately 1,000 people,” Johnson said. “It was one of the most successful tours Preservation Utah had ever held.”

Photos by Travis Barton Talented sophomore HopeAnne Munson scored the opening goal in a dramatic 2-1 victory over Skyline at home. At press time, the Titans were 2-1 in region. Olympus celebrates the opening goal of a 2-1 victory over the Eagles. Skyline tied the game at 1 with 56 seconds left before Olympus responded off the ensuing kickoff to take the lead with 40 seconds left and hold on for the win.

In October 2019, Johnson organized a tour of five houses in her neighborhood, and one on Cot tonwood Club Drive, created by architect Stephen McDonald, who also designed the original Cot tonwood Club. Her goal was to educate and bring awareness to the unique history of the area.

Senior Jane Burton takes the corner during first half action against Skyline. The Titans went 2-1 in preseason play defeating both Wasatch and Skyridge 1-0 before falling to defending 6A champs Riverton by the same score.

The benefit of having the designation is the properties are officially listed with the national reg istry, the homeowners may affix a plaque to homes to document historic status and homeowners can apply for state tax credits to offset the expense of the repairs inside or outside the homes.

“It’s been a lot of work for…for all the neigh bors that have participated. Kudos to you,” said Holladay Mayor Rob Dahle. “It’s an asset to your street and the homes you live in but also to the City of Holladay.” l

Robert Falck’s home at 1649 E. Lone Peak Drive is part of the new historic district which is the first to honor the history of the Parade of Homes. Falck, who also serves on the city’s his torical commission is excited to have the area pro tected after one home on the street was torn down.

I worked with the best people and had the best kids there. I will miss the people very, very much, there are no regrets.”Roylance had been principal since 2015 and worked in Granite District for 15 years.

Lead singer Will Baxter has a naturally smooth voice, one that many singers would envy.The band also performed B.B. King’s “Help the Poor,” which, as Baxter explained, was B.B. King’s biggest hit, and Clapton’s least successful tune. It was “Old Love” that showcased Bax ter’s vocal talents best. It seemed to come from soul and experience, and he moved from bar to bar with ease and expressed refined but earnest emotion.The band played to the end, despite the threatening skies. Onward home the Holladay crowd went, satisfied with a night of Clapton tunes played by the able Will Baxter band. l

Several Holladay area students saw new faces in administration when they re turned for the 2022-23 school year. Most changes were announced in the spring at the April board meeting. They took effect July 1. Here is a summary of what changed.

Administrations change in Holladay schools for 2022-23

Under restless skies, the Will Baxter Band played Eric Clapton tunes on the Commons in Holladay. The Aug. 13 concert was part of the 2022 Free Concerts on the Commons present ed by the Holladay Arts Council and Holladay Bank & Trust. In all, there were nine concerts held this summer. The concert began with a definitive blues vibe with “Double Crossing Time.”

“I could sell snowboards in the desert, so they sent me to the mountains,” Whitmore said. “I also worked part time at a mom and pop thrift store there. It came down to accumu lating too much stuff. I started taking things home.”

“It’s double what we were paying, but still the most affordable thing we could find,” Whitmore said. “Even the Granary District was four times what we paid before, for the same amount of space.”

“We’re waking up from the tiredness of it all and see ing that it could be a blessing in disguise,” Whitmore said. “There’s a lot to like about this area. All of our neighbors are family-run stores, which feels like a good fit.” l

The Train Shoppe is another iconic local business first opened in the city decades ago and is now located in the suburbs. After moving several times throughout the years, the model train retailer opened at Gardner Village in West Jordan in 2021. Early this year the shop introduced kid-size rides and a full model train display where visitors can oper ate the trains for a small fee. The Train Shoppe has plans to expand in the future, possibly creating an outdoor play space within Gardner Copperhive’sVillage.newstorefront, at 2709 S. State St., is also larger—1,300 square feet, up from 800 at the old space, with a studio in the back for Whitmore to work on her own fash ion line of plus-size, environmentally-friendly clothing.

But rent is just one thing to consider when relocating a business.Copperhive’s new location is less than two miles away from the old one, but the character of the neighborhood is different. It’s also difficult to get the word out to customers that she’s moved.

The venerable holiday decor retailer temporarily closed in May and plans to reopen at a new location on State Street in late summer or early fall. The new location, which is in Murray, will have more space on one level and a larger park ing lot.

“It was an older building, and the rent was really reason able,” Whitmore said of the space that was torn down.

A stretch of Broadway (300 South) in Salt Lake has also lost retail space in the past year. When the iconic yellow building on the north side of road between 200 and 300 East was torn town, The Tavernacle Social Club, City of Industry, Dara Modern, Fellow Shop, Grow Kratom and The People’s Coffee all had to relocate. Four of the businesses found other locations nearby. City of Industry, a stationary shop, has just an online pres ence for now. Fellow Shop, which sold clothing and other vintage goods, now sells at pop-up markets.

A business called Modern Display was also located on 700 East in downtown Salt Lake City and moved this year.

After relocating to Salt Lake City, Whitmore began selling some of the items she’d collected at the Urban Flea Market.

Flexibility can be an important attribute for a small business owner. Whitmore got her start selling action sports equipment in Phoenix, Arizona, then in Logan, Utah.

“This new space has extras that make it nice,” Whit more said. “There’s a cute parking lot in back and we’re hop ing to do events in the future once we get caught up with life. The parking is better, the AC is better, the condition of the building is better.”

“There are lot more food options for when I forget to pack my lunch,” Whitmore said with a laugh. Still, there is significantly less foot traffic in South Salt Lake.“The experience I had through displacement…it’s really erasing small businesses,” Whitmore said. “It takes out retail spots and just builds residential. The retail left is so expen sive that only chains can afford it.”

But the perks come at a price.

It was a moment straight out of a movie. Jacqueline Whitmore was reaching the end of the 90 days she’d been given to find a new space for her business, and her local li quor store was out of the wine she wanted. So she headed to a different store in South Salt Lake.

“Another issue that was special for our case is that we sell vintage,” Whitmore said. “We would qualify financially, but landlords would turn us down because we sell second handButitems.”Copperhive Vintage is no thrift shop. The handpicked selection of items for sale include high-quality cloth ing from the mid-20th century, housewares, art and furniture. Whitmore culls the most desirable items from estate sales and flea markets.

“I actually saw the ‘for lease’ sign being put up,” Whit more said. “I pulled over and filled out an application.” Whitmore’s retail shop, Copperhive Vintage, thrived in a building on 700 East in the Sugar House neighborhood of Salt Lake City for seven years. Then, in early 2022, Whit more was informed that the building was to be demolished to make way for a large residential complex. She would need to either close or relocate. She worked with a realtor group and talked to the eco nomic development department at the city, but struggled to find an affordable space.

Shop in the suburbs: Small businesses move south as downtown rents go up

A look a retail spaces available to rent or lease on loo pnet.com in early August confirms that the Granary District, a rapidly gentrifying neighborhood southwest of downtown, has the highest rents in Salt Lake County. One space is listed at $40 per square foot (paid annually), nearly double the av erage rate in South Salt Lake. Salt Lake City tends to have the highest volume of spaces available to rent. West Valley City is a close second, where the average price per square foot is around $23. San dy, Millcreek, Midvale and Taylorsville have rents averaging less than $20 per square foot. Rents in Cottonwood Heights were the most expensive with just two listings, one at $28 and another at $37.

“It’s still very disorienting,” Whitmore said. “It still feels very scary, like we’ve stepped back seven years to when we first started. I feel very isolated. My neighbor used to be Haight & Ashbury Consignment and people came to shop at Haightboth.”& Ashbury found a new home in the Ballpark neighborhood of Salt Lake City, at 1357 S. Main St. in May. The businesses near Copperhive’s new location are mainly restaurants, diners and bakeries.

“I realized this could be a profitable thing for me,” Whit more said. “I had the freedom to not work so many hours. Or if I was working more hours, it was doing something I liked. Then when I had my daughter, I didn’t want to go back to a traditional workplace scenario. I wanted to be able to hang out with her.” The fact that Whitmore’s daughter grew up in Copper hive’s original space made it even harder to leave. But she’s hopeful for new opportunities.

“The majority of veterans dying by suicide aren’t registered with the VA at all. They’re not even getting the help,” Hansen said. “I don’t want to wait until someone is in that dark place. I’d rather stop it beforehand. If we can get them out with our program and get their lives back again, and not let the tun nel get too dark, that will be the saving grace.” As Hansen and his soldiers cleared bombs in Iraq, he’d say Charlie Mike, which meant they could continue mission. “Here at home we need to continue mis sion in life and support one another,” he said. “It’s healing for me when I hear success sto ries. There are so many ways we can touch people's lives and not even know it.”

After Sgt. Josh Hansen (US Army Retired) was injured by an improvised explosive device in Iraq in 2007, he was hospitalized for months with brain trauma, and back and neck injuries. Hansen often felt he was a burden on everyone around him and thought it would be better for everyone if he wasn’t around. But after one of his soldiers died by sui cide, Hansen realized he was traveling that same, dark road and wanted a different end ing.

“After going to his funeral and seeing how it devastated the family and his kids, that was the turning point to say that’s not the an swer,” he said. “We took care of each other during the war, we need to do that at home.”

She remembers watching her mother’s decline from the fatal genetic disease that affects nerve cells in the brain. When Roberts was 19, her mother passed“Itaway.was hard. At that point she had suffered for so long, it was kind of a tender mercy. She fought so bravely and so hard. When you watch someone you love go through that for so long, you only want the best for them,” Roberts said. “I’m the only one out of my siblings that hasn’t been diagnosed with the disorder. My younger brother and sister and both have tested positive.”Today, there are about 41,000 Americans with the disease and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. People with the genetic marker have a 50% chance of passing it down to theirTochildren.bringawareness to the disease, the Huntington's Dis ease Society of America will host Team Hope, the organiza tion’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in 100 cities across the country. In 15 years, it’s raised more than $20 million.

Many veteran programs are only avail able to military personnel who served after 9/11, but Continue Mission is open to vets of any era and service connection including National Guard, reserves and active duty personnel. The program also has numerous women participating, as well as LGBTQ or trans soldiers. Hansen wants the program to be all-encompassing and inclusive.

Continue Mission has grown with more than 3,500 vets participating this year, com pared to 15 vets during the first year, and nearly 200 events. A recent river trip to Moab cost $10K but was offered at no cost to par ticipants.Continue Mission is funded through grants, website donations and a fundraising event organized by Blade HQ in Pleasant Grove. “Running a nonprofit is not easy,” Han sen said. “We usually wing it and hope people find out about us and donate when we can. It’s stressful every year to know if we’re going to survive another year because of funding. But it’s been so Accordingrewarding.”tothe U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Utah is one of the worst states for veteran suicide. Part of Continue Mission’s goal is to get people in touch with the VA to get assistance, mental health coun seling and other support.

The Utah Team Hope Walk & 5K Run will be held Satur day, Sept. 10 at 8:30 a.m. at Sugar House Park (1330 E. 2100 South). All proceeds will support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease and their families.People can visit Utah.hdsa.org to register for the event. Participants can also set up a team and create a fundraising page. “I’ve just been in awe of the community and the support they’ve given my family over the years,” Roberts said. “We’re going to come together in the community to celebrate hope, to celebrate the ability to have a sense of community because it’s a really isolating disease. We want to bring together a plethora of people who are here to buoy you up and support you and advocate for a cure.”

Healing program allows vets to Continue Mission

Depression breeds in isolation, so physical interaction is a big part of Continue Mission. “When you get this big network of in dividuals you can reach out to when you’re struggling, that can save a life,” Hansen said. “What worked for me might save others. Mother Nature is so healing.”

“I love that every person’s face has so much character to it. When I paint a portrait, I feel it’s a landscape,” Pinnock said. “I get to see all the nooks and crannies that have made that per son who they are—their smile lines and their character come shining through, so I like about people all the things that most people don’t like about themselves.” Even Pinnock’s portrait of Christ has more character lines than most portrayals of the same subject.

Nathan Pinnock sees a person’s face as a fascinating landscape

A collection of Pinnock’s work including portraits, reli gious art and landscapes will be exhibited at Holladay City Hall for most of September.

“I mostly teach oil painting and I do oil painting on wood Masonite panels, but I also sculpt with clay with the idea in mind that it’s going to be a bronze,” Pinnock said. He takes his love of oils and sculpture into the holiday sea son. Pinnock has done paintings of Santa’s workshop and Santa walking over the roofs of German villages delivering toys. Re garding his Christmas sculptures, he said, “They’re fun to do.”

Pinnock has had some success of his own. He has been exhibited at the Springville Museum of Art, BYU and at the University of Utah. Pinnock is a Holladayite through and through. Not only has he lived here his whole life, but his studio is in the heart of Holladay where he both teaches and creates his own work.

2022 Artist Nathan Pinnock is drawn to uplifting themes including Christmas and religious art. However, it is not the per fection of the human form and face that he seeks. He likes the “reality,” if you will, in us all.

Pinnock studied art at the University of Utah and BYU. Additionally, he painted for a summer with artist Greg Olsen, and another summer, Pinnock painted in Minnesota with an atelier, which was basically formal training with a master and about 20 students. The heart of Pinnock’s artistic drive is simply the desire to generate new work. “I love trying to create something that’s never existed before,” he said. The full-time artist is also a full-time father of six children, two of whom are artists as well. Pinnock enjoys living in Holladay. “There’s a great group of collectors in Holladay,” he said. “It’s a great place to live as an artist.”Pinnock leaves us with this advice: “Everyone should have a good artist in their life, because we are weird people, but it’s a way to get such a rich part of your life fulfilled.”

Artist of the Month

“I started out as an illustrator, and the illustrator that I loved for a long, long time was Arnold Friberg, who was also a Hol laday resident,” Pinnock said. “He used to do paintings of the Book of Mormon. He also did paintings of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and the Old West. I just loved the character in his paintings.”Theconnection with Friberg is clear, so much so that Frib erg attended Pinnock’s wedding and gave the couple one of his signed prints. “It’s one of our treasures,” Pinnock said. He spoke enthusiastically about how famed movie director Cecil B. DeMille found Friberg for help in making “The Ten Commandments.” DeMille utilized Friberg much more than he ever thought he would. “He is responsible for the look of that great movie,” Pin nock said. “If I could just keep doing what he had done, I’d be a very happy man.”

As the league wraps up its season this year, Hansen and Scruggs are looking forward to next spring when they can get back to the fields where the skills, sounds and game of baseball is appreciated by the players and fans.

The Mt. Olympus Youth Baseball league works with kids from 5 to 15, teaching them the fundamentals of the game while making baseball fun again. Learning concepts like respect, teamwork, accountability and good sportsmanship are just a few of the benefits players learn while playing the game.

for

“They learn to compete. They learn to play together as a team. Most importantly, they’re making friends,” Scruggs said. “It’s very rare to have everybody from the same neighborhood or even the same elementary school.”“They begin to understand they’re all part of a team and are working toward one cause,” Hansen added. “They learn to respect authority and to have a common goal.”

mind-numbing stats and the com plicated

Baseball often gets a bad rap its long games, infield fly rule. But baseball holds a special place in the hearts of fans who love to cheer on the home team.

With the $30,000 investment, the league hired a baseball landscape company to cut the fields, making straight lines between the dirt and grass, on all four fields at city hall. A mo bile pitcher’s mound was added to the north east field for an elevated pitching option. On the two north fields, they laid a clay base and a top layer of dirt to make sliding easier and more fun for the players. “It’s amazing,” Hansen said. “It’s what you’d see on more professional fields like high schools. It was a massive upgrade.”

Dee Hansen and Elliot Scruggs are intro ducing a new generation of athletes to the joy of baseball, one pitch at a time. Scruggs is the president of the Mt. Olympus Youth Baseball league, and Hansen is a former league com missioner and future board member.

“We’re more than happy to invest in these fields because it gives the kids an opportunity to learn the game, so any investment we make in these fields, or in baseball, it pays off when you see the kids getting better from the begin ning to the end of the season,” Scruggs said. “The nice fields make the kids feel like we’re invested in them learning baseball and having fun.”

The league invested $30,000 into the four city baseball fields, located behind Holladay City Hall at 4580 S. 2300 East. The fields needed some major upgrades this year, so the board voted to invest in the facilities and main tenance“Weequipment.hadasurplus this year and we thought with having a little extra money in the account this would be a time to put that money to good use,” Scruggs said. Mt. Olympus Baseball has used the fields for more than 30 years, with nearly 500 kids from the community putting in the time to learn and play the sport each spring. Many of the league’s volunteers played baseball at Olympus High School and the league contin ues to provide talented athletes to the school’s program.One of the volunteers is local legend Dave Wiseman, a former baseball coach at OHS. Now retired and battling Parkinson’s disease, Wiseman spends several hours each day getting the fields ready. “He was tasked to prep the baseball fields every game day. He would water the dirt, drag the field and he’d put the bases down and chalk the lines, every day,” Hansen said. “All the dads who played for him just love him, that’s why there’s such a support from dads who con tinue to keep their boys in Mt. Olympus.”

Cottonwood boys golf team looks for their best season in years

It’s just that the well has run dry recently of those golfers. Southwick, who also serves as Cottonwood’s athletic director, said he believes that’s due in part to fewer of Cottonwood’s stu dent body playing golf; the school has a “high population of refugees” that may not have been introduced to the sport. But, Southwick added that he’s doing ev erything he can to bring more kids out to play golf. That’s evident in Cottonwood’s roster, which currently stands at 20 student-athletes.

Of those 20, Southwick said that before it’s decided which 12 of those 20 (eight for the varsity, four for JV) will be selected for that week’s tournament stop, he has all 20 kids play qualifying rounds early in the week at their home course, the sprawling and scenic Murray Parkway, for the right to represent the black and gold. They’re then seeded for that tourney based on how they have finished those quals. This formula has worked quite well for Cottonwood thus far, as the Colts have found themselves to be highly competitive thus far. The boys golfers started the 2022 season at Stansbury on a course that the Colts head coach described as having been in “bad condition with a lot of sandy greens.” That unfamiliarity with this course led to the Colts losing by four strokes and finishing as a team in third place in week one.

“On a consistent basis, we’re not having all four of our top players play good golf at the same time,” Southwick said. “If we’re gonna get all four playing at the same time we’ll be tough to beat.”The four players to whom the coach is re ferring are led by senior Coleman Oettli and ju nior Ryan Nielsen, who captain the team. They play No. 4 (Oettli) and No. 3 (Nielsen) respec tively, while Southwick added that he currently has a sophomore playing in the No. 1 slot and in the No. 2 slot, a freshman. With five tournaments left before the class 5A state championships take place in early Oc tober, there is still plenty of time left for the four team leaders to improve and for other players to step up, added Southwick. But, he likes what he sees out of a group that is maturing and improv ing by the week. l

When Greg Southwick took over as boys golf coach at Cottonwood High a few years ago he knew it would take a few years and probably a few classes of kids to turn the pro gram around. According to Southwick the Colts may be ready to take that next step.

Fact is, the Colts have actually had a great boys golf program and tradition before; in the 1980s and ’90s they won four state champion ships (1985-86, 1996, 1998) and have churned out many golfers who earned All-State honors.

“The biggest thing I see from this group of kids is their improvement,” said the Colts head coach. “I think that we’re a contender for No. 1 in our region, and if we play good golf, we’ll finish No. 1.”

In week two, however, along the Gladstan Golf Course in Payson which is considered among the toughest to play in all of Utah, the Colts were both awed and inspired by the terrain but lost by three strokes and again finished in third Weekplace. three is where the Colts put it all together in a round that Southwick added will not only go down as their best yet but will also count toward their qualification for the state tournament (of the eight tournaments Cotton wood plays in any given season, Southwick can chooseThisthree.)tournament was held at the Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele, and for the Colts boys who finished in second place, one stroke behind the leader, it showed the kind of consis tency they must have going into the second half of the season, according to Southwick.

“We look carefully at the sourcing of our ingredients,” Deffner said. “The beauty of our product is we incorpo rate flaxseed oil. Some people prefer to take a vitamin with food, some people prefer to take it on an empty stomach. With our product, it doesn’t matter because the oil helps the body absorb the nutrients, no matter when or how it’s taken.”More than 20 years ago, Nutriex started with one prod uct, Nutriex Health. A few years later, they created Nutriex Omega-3 and Nutriex Sport.

A small group of players played in the USA Team Handball Open National Cham pionships in May. The local players com bined with a team in Los Angeles to be able to participate.“Nowwe want to represent Utah. We would like everybody to get to know this sport. We are hosting a small tournament next month with a few teams,” Broadhead said.The Uintah Cup is scheduled for Sept. 24-25 at the Utah Soccer Arena, 1475 S. 700 West. There will be men's and wom en's divisions. The Air Force Academy and a team from Denver will take part in the men's division. The women's division includes a Los Angeles-based team and a team from San Francisco is scheduled to compete.“Itwill be held on Saturday and Sun day,” Rammi said. “People see this game in the Olympics and they come out and join with us. It is growing in this area.”

Team handball takes hold in Utah with first-ever tournament

Auburn University in Alabama has one of the largest team handball clubs in the country. Only a handful of colleges have organized clubs including the Air Force Academy and the U.S. Military Academy (WestThePoint).Salt Lake handball club consists of about 30 members. They practice three or four times a month and have begun travel ing to play in tournaments.

“I was attending college at Auburn and a friend of mine introduced me to the game,” Massif Handball SLC member Pat rick Halladay said. “It turns out that my first time was a tryout for the U.S. Olympic team. I wasn’t that good, but I learned how to play and now I really enjoy it.”

“This is a game that can help you de velop new skills and improve your athleti cism. It can help you improve your abilities in other sports,” Rammi said. “This club is a family affair. They all bring their kids and we have lots just learn ing to play,” Halladay said. For more information visit the team's Facebook page Massif Handball SLC. l

T eam handball is a game that is a mix ture of soccer and lacrosse. And, like the name states, it’s a team sport with two teams of seven players each (including the goalie) attempting to pass the ball using their hands and shoot it into the opposing team's net. The team that scores the most goalsAndwins.for team handball enthusiasts, Massif Handball SLC is organizing a tour nament in Salt Lake City this month.

“I started playing in Brazil when I was 12 years old,” one of the club organiz ers Andre Rammi said. “Our practices are open, anyone can come and join. We want people to understand the game. We have several that have never played before.”

“I am from Guatemala and I played for the National team there for about 12 years,” Sofia Broadhead said. “When I came to Utah in 2016 I started looking for a club. The sport is growing in Central America, Brazil, and even here in this country.”

CERT TRAINING CLASSES

The City of Holladay is happy to announce the reestablishment of our Community Emergency Response Team (CERT). This team along with other CERT Volunteers members from the county are trained to mitigate, respond, and recover from a disaster. CERT trains residents to prepare their families and neighborhoods for an emergency disaster. It is our goal and part of the City of Holladay Emergency Response plan to strengthen our community and make it more resilient, neighborhood by neighborhood.

—Matt Durham, District 2

S EPTEMBER 2022

Recently, the Holladay Tree Committee recommended an expansion of the Tree Voucher Program. In addition to providing residents with funds to plant Street Trees, the Tree Voucher Program will soon allow applications for funds to purchase and plant trees in any suitable location on a resident’s property. The Tree Voucher Program continues to have certain guidelines to assure voucher funds result in healthy, sustainable and appropriate tree plantings. For example, the voucher applicant must agree to arrange for transportation of the tree from the nursery to their property and is responsible preparing the site for planting. They must also contact utility companies to assure that the selected location is approved for excavation. Applicants must agree to purchase and plant trees appearing on the City of Holladay Tree List, which designates certain species as appropriate for planting as a Street Tree or as an Open Voucher tree. The voucher applicant also agrees to allow a site visit by a Tree Committee member to verify proper planting.

The City of Holladay will host CERT training classes on September 17th, 2022, and October 1st, 2022, from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM in the John Holladay Room at city hall. All participants must complete the online CERT training class before the September date. See the link below. Please register for the course at holladaycerttrain@gmail.com. List complete name, mailing address, phone number, and a good email address. The course is free but there is a $40.00 fee for the safety equipment that is required to keep our CERT volunteers safe. Instructions for the online course: Visit: https://medicine.utah.edu/rmcoeh/research/ outreach/cert – online course, select language, select Agree, Select “My Course” and ﬁnd the course named “CERT2021en”. Complete all the portions and bring in a printed copy of your completion certiﬁcate. This should take 8-10 hours to complete.

When you think of Holladay, you think of trees. Our mature and robust tree canopy is one of the deﬁning characteristics of our community. Holladay’s efforts to protect and nurture its beautiful trees has earned it the designation as a “Tree City USA.” These efforts include Holladay’s tree protection ordinance, budgetary support of our “urban forest” and sponsoring annual Arbor Day celebrations. It also includes the continuation of Holladay’s long-standing Tree Committee. The Holladay Tree Committee is a volunteer organization made up of residents of each City District, and its mission is to inspire people to plant, nurture and celebrate Holladay’s remarkable urban forest. For several years, the City has had a Tree Voucher Program to encourage and facilitate the planting and replacement of “Street Trees.” A Street Tree is a tree growing within 15 feet of a city street. The Tree Voucher Program has allowed Holladay residents to apply for an up to $100 grant toward the purchase of a tree for planting in a Street Tree location.

September 17 and October 1 | 9am-6pm

The expanded Tree Voucher Program is an exciting new effort by Holladay City to cultivate and replenish one of Holladay’s most appealing and valuable assets – its trees. The City is taking this step to help Holladay residents beautify their homes, our streets and the community. Vouchers for Street Trees and Open Voucher Trees are available on a ﬁrst-come, ﬁrst-served basis, so if you are interested, you should submit an application soon. Information on the Holladay Tree Committee is available at https://cityofholladay.com/community/ holladay-tree-committee/ . Information about the expanded Tree Voucher Program will appear there soon!

FEATURED TREE OF THE MONTH DAWN REDWOOD —

By Travis Jones – Chair, Tree Committee

(Olympus Jr High School Outdoor Classroom 2022)

The Dawn Redwood is an ancient tree that was around during the dinosaur era but is well-suited for modern landscapes. Only 15 species of redwoods exist today, and the Dawn Redwood is one that was only known as a fossil until 1941, when it was discovered growing in a remote valley in China. Seeds were collected by the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University in 1947, and the species has since been distributed worldwide. Dawn Redwood is a deciduous conifer with green feathery leaves that turn orange to reddish-brown in the fall. It produces small round 1/2” to 1” cones and has a pyramidal growth shape. It is a fast-growing tree that reaches a height of 80’–100’ at maturity, putting on more than 24” per year.

Dawn Redwood is versatile and droughttolerant but prefers moist, well-drained soil conditions with full sun.

Storytime and Activity

I love this majestic tree species because of its unique nature as a deciduous conifer, and because it can do well in our high-elevation desert climate. This tree species was selected as the focus of the Holladay Tree Committee’s April 29, 2022, Arbor Day Celebration held in partnership with Olympus Junior High School. It will be there not just for students to enjoy, but as a legacy tree providing beneﬁts to our community well beyond my ability to enjoy it! Metasequoia glyptostroboides

Every Tuesday starting Tuesday, Sept 6 10:15am Children and their adults enjoy an interactive storytime. Songs, stories, movement, and lots of literacy fun! Afterward, stay for an engaging activity.

This program is made possible in part by a federal grant funded by the Library Services and Technology Act and is administered by the Utah State Library and the Institute of Library and Museum Services and in partnership with Salt Lake County Aging and Adult Services and the County Library.

Ready or not, fall is drawing near. Soon, Mt. Olympus will be quilted with autumn colors, street lamps will glow as nighttime sets earlier and earlier, and weekends will be spent doing yard work in preparation for the inaugural freeze. Before you pull out the rake and leaf blower, consider updating your maintenance routine using these sustainable tricks:

By Samantha DeSeelhorst, Sustainability Analyst

While this topic is difﬁcult, I wanted to convey that UFA and UPD are prepared to address active shooter response. Our shared goal is to mitigate emergencies as quickly as possible while protecting and saving lives.

Sustainable Fall Tricks

3. Plant Trees and Shrubs

Active Shooter Response Training

In July, Unified Fire Authority (UFA) and Unified Police Department (UPD) conducted an annual training for active shooter response at Cyprus High School in Magna. While UFA and UPD engage regularly in ongoing training for our respective public safety roles, trainings wherein we work together are vital to our success in high-risk, yet low-frequency events, like active shooter response. Without revealing the specifics of UPD training, know that their first objective is to neutralize the shooter or shooters. Concurrently, the UFA and other fire agencies are focused on casualty collection points, assembling resources, and notifying area and out of area hospitals that there will potentially be multiple trauma victims arriving. Your engine at the Holladay Fire Station 104, as well as all UFA fire heavy apparatus’, is equipped with federally-funded Rescue Task Force Kits. These kits include body armor, helmets, multiple trauma dressings, and tourniquets, as well as other equipment and supplies. In certain emergencies, like an active shooter situation, firefighters use the Rescue Task Force Kits and form a team called a Rescue Task Force that includes at least two police officers. The team’s mission is to find victims, triage, treat, and finally extract the victims to a casualty collection point where they can be transported to definitive care at a hospital. With this strategy, we do not have to wait for the shooter or shooters to be neutralized to start caring for victims. Receiving treatment in the first hour is critical to survival from a traumatic injury. In one study, the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal concluded that one third of the victims of an active shooting incident in 2016 might have lived if they had gotten basic EMS care within 10 minutes and made it to a trauma hospital within an hour, the national standard.

2. Opt for Electric A 2020 study by the California Air Resources Board found that gaspowered engines from small landscaping equipment (such as leaf blowers and lawn mowers) contribute more pollutants to local smog than cars do. While reducing driving is still a sustainability win, give some attention to the surprising culprits found in your garden shed too. Look into replacing gas-powered models with electric ones, and enjoy the added beneﬁt of lighter and quieter machines.

Although sometimes overlooked for the showy blooms of annuals, trees and shrubs are critical components of healthy ecosystems. These species provide animal habitat, reduce the heating effects of pavement, and replace harmful carbon dioxide with oxygen. Spring might be the default season for gardening, but fall weather is an ideal time for planting trees and shrubs. Its cooler temperatures are conducive to stronger root development and less need for irrigation, and its precipitation will beneﬁt woody plantings by providing a gently damp environment. Happy planting!

By Captain Dan Brown, Uniﬁed Fire Authority

1. Let the Leaves Be Raking leaves may be a time-honored tradition, but research suggests that leaving a blanket of leaves can actually beneﬁt your yard by providing it with a nutrient-rich mulch. To test out this trick, remove the grass catcher from your mower and mow your leaf-covered lawn using several passes, until the leaves have been scattered into confetti of ½ inch pieces, and the lawn is slightly visible underneath. If a leafy lawn isn’t the autumn aesthetic you’re after, consider composting your leaves instead.

S EPTEMBER 2022

T he U.S. economy is in a time of transition, and that makes it hard to predict exactly where it’s headed. The Gross Domestic Product – the broadest measure of the economy – contracted for the second consecutive quarter in 2022. Two quarters of negative GDP growth is a popular definition of a recession. However, the nation’s strong labor mar ket and low unemployment rate compli cates the narrative.

A recession is officially declared by the National Bureau of Economic Re search based on a more technical defini tion: “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months.” Economists at the NBER evaluate a broad range of data, including employment, in come, sales and production. But because of the lag in when data become available, a recession often isn’t declared until it’s well underway or even after it has ended. How do we know if – or when – our economy is in a recession? Here are some indicators economists are watching: Inflation. August Consumer Price In dex data shows that price growth is slow ing, though it’s too early to tell whether inflation has peaked. National inflation fell from 9.1% to 8.5% year over year, but that is still near a 40-year high. Even if inflation has peaked, it needs to drop to more manageable levels around 2%. Consumer sentiment. Nearly half of consumers blame inflation for eroding their living standards, plunging the Uni versity of Michigan’s Consumer Senti ment Index to its lowest level in 72 years in early summer. Consumer sentiment has risen slightly since its June low, a hopeful sign that consumers’ economic outlook might be improving.

The Federal Reserve meets again Sept. 20 and 21 when they are expected to raise interest rates for a fourth time this year. The Fed’s goal is that an increase in interest rates will tighten financial conditions and increase borrowing costs, which will cause the economy to soften and inflation to slow. However, an overcorrection could trigger a recession. Since the 1960s, nearly every time the Fed has significantly increased interest rates a recession followed rela tivelyWagequickly.growth.

Job market. The labor market con tinues to be the strongest segment of the economy, adding an average of 400,000 jobs per month in 2022. Payrolls increased by 528,000 jobs in July, exceeding expec tations, and the national unemployment rate dropped to its pre-pandemic level of 3.5%. There are nearly two job openings for every unemployed person in America, an ongoing symptom of the labor short age. Utah’s economy is slowing but still positive. Our state’s population growth continues to lead the nation and Utah is at the center of the fastest growing region in the country. However, Utah now lags the nation in employment growth. This is due in part to an extremely low unem ployment rate, which at 2% is the second lowest in the nation. Low unemployment has constrained economic growth and has caused regional inflation to be the high est in the nation. On the other hand, home price appreciation is decelerating quick ly in Utah as potential home buyers are responding to high mortgage rates and a limited supply of affordable homes. With a diversified economy, Utah is not immune to national economic pres sures but the fundamental strength in our state should mitigate some of the national economic conditions.

What is a recession and are we in one?

By Robert Spendlove, Zions Bank Senior Economist

Wages grew 5.2% from July 2021 to July 2022 in America, well above the 2.9% average annual wage growth of the past 15 years. However, even high wage growth is not keeping pace with inflation. Instead, it’s driving inflation, risking a dangerous wage-price spiral. Both inflation and wage growth need to come down to address overheat ing in the economy.

Granite School District is one of the most diverse school districts in Utah and op erates in various different cities throughout the central Salt Lake Valley. With a total of roughly 67,000 students enrolled rang ing from kindergarten to 12th grade, Granite is the third largest district in the state. As a result, the district is home to a variety of students with varying racial, cultural, religious and economic backgrounds.Inanattempt to pay hom age to these differences, while simultaneously highlighting a need for unity, Granite School District invited students from six of their high schools and one of their junior highs to participate in a collaborative mural titled “Sense of AccordingCommunity.”tothe district, “(The work aims to) highlight the landmarks, values, ambi tions, and goals of the commu nities within the school district. The work aims to instill in each young person a striving to suc ceed.”After three years in the making, the project was finally unveiled at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in June. It was an effort that required lots of planning both financially and artistically. While funding was provided by the Utah Legisla ture and Utah Division of Arts and Museums, the project was overseen by professional artist MattMonsonMonson. was the type of child who took to the arts at a young age. “(However), it took me until my 30s to have enough confidence to call myself that out loud. It was around that time I began giving myself permis sion to just put it out there…to go with my own style. I’ve never stopped creating, and now have murals in different spots from Logan to Boulder, Utah,” he said. Given Monson’s expertise in mural work, he was an ob vious shoe-in for the project. “My main areas of artistic focus are storytelling and creating art that doesn’t just look neat, but something that also gives the feels. My artistic style is defined by flowing interconnected line work, vibrant colors, and always a memorable ‘ah-ha’ sort of de sign Monsonelement.”was approached by Noemi Hernandez-Balcazar, the district arts coordinator. Hernan dez-Balcazar first encountered Monson’s artwork on the walls of the new Kearns Public Li brary, which Monson explains had a heavily Kearns-centric community focus, with three large murals that focused on the town’s past, present and future. Based on that project alone, Her nandez-Balcazar propositioned Monson for the job.

“I was asked to be the lead artist to help the students form their ideas and find their artis tic style,” Monson said. “It was important for me to be there in a supportive role and help them with the process—but all de signs were done completely by the students of each school.” The project began in fall 2019, and while the ultimate product turned out wonderfully, Monson and the students would soon learn the challenges of col laborating on a project of this size and “Therescope.were many chal lenges with the project—coor dinating eight different Granite School District art programs and the many students involved. But that was expected. What was not expected was everything that 2020 and 2021 brought us,” Monson said. The Covid-19 pandemic set the project back by two and a half years. However, the pro longed timeline made the reveal that much sweeter thanks to the hard-working students and art teachers. Finally, those involved were able to host a proper cele bration and opening night at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art in May 2022. “The obstacles and setbacks were innumerable,” Monson

Each school was encouraged to show case the attributes and defining features that made their specific institution unique. For example, Kearns High School wanted to fo cus on “the strength of the Kearns Commu nity (that) is represented by the strong roots that sprout up into the stalwart tree. The tree grows and branches out throughout the com munity and into the many diverse hands that are all part of such an incredible communi ty,” according to the school’s statement. The students at Olympus High School wanted to pay homage to Salt Lake’s famous mountain landmark and the namesake of the school, Mount Olympus. “In our mural, the great Mount Olympus overlooks our small city and the people who enjoy the myriad of outdoor activities Holladay has to of fer: skiing, hiking, mountain biking, live music in the summers, and of course, the Mount Olympus torch run,” according to the school’s statement. In addition to Kearns High School and Olympus High School, the other schools represented were Taylorsville High School, Granger High School, Wasatch Jr. High, and Hunter High School.

Cottonwood High graduate compared her leader ship skills to a budding flower, which helped her blos som into the top 10 nationally in a national competition. Georgia Barrus was recognized as one of the top 10 nationwide in the leadership contest at this past summer’s Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America confer ence, which attracted more than 7,100 students, advisers and educators to San Diego.

Cottonwood graduates rank amongst best in FCCLA leadership contest

Lundeen used her experience as a Girl Scout as a base of her presentation, Barrus said. “She was able to really talk about all her Girl Scout leadership experience in her presentation,” Barrus said, add ing that this past year, Lundeen oversaw Cottonwood’s chap ter’s social media, so she was able to address the importance of communication, social media and time management goals as well.Inaddition to competing, the two Cottonwood students had a chance to trade FCCLA state pins with other students and visit some sights in San Diego.

“I was competing against the best of the best,” she said, as each state was allowed to send their top candidate in the contest to compete nationally. “I was a little bit nervous, but I was ready. I approached it, honestly, as I'm doing this for myself to see what I can do so I was more excited.” FCCLA is a club associated with family consumer sci ences and helps youth expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life, such as planning, goal-setting, deci sion-making and interpersonal communication.

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

In her presentation, Barrus outlined her leadership and high school experiences such as five years on the mountain biking team, including being captain her senior year; her presidency in both FCCLA and in Cottonwood’s Nation al Honors Society; her internship at a nearby elementary school; and her part-time jobs. She also included how she’d like to bring a FCCLA chapter to a Native American reservation since currently there isn’t one and it’s part of her heritage. Barrus plans to attend the University of Oregon in early education, rooming in the Native American and Indigenous Studies academic residential community.

At the state contest in leadership this past spring, Barrus took gold in the event and her teammate, Lily Lundeen, took silver.After being recognized on the national stage for being in the top 10, Barrus and Lundeen were honored respectively in front of the Utah delegation with national gold and silver levels of Barrusdistinction.saidthat she has received positive feedback of her flower analogy.

Due to recent lightning delays, the Skyline Eagles have had to display some creativity to have a successful practice. They took up shop in a high school gym and did some drills. A standard has been set as a photo of Roger Dupaix, the former legendary football coach that the Skyline High School Stadium is named after, hangs outside. “If it’s raining we stay outside but when the lightning hits we have to stay inside,” Coach John Rowbotham said. “When we stay inside it’s a challenge mainly due to space. The way we run our offense is spread out and a basketball gym lacks the opportu nity to develop spatial awareness.”

“Our roster is similar to last year,” Row botham said. “We have talented receivers, running backs and offensive line. We can run and throw the ball effectively as well.”

“I appreciate the work the kids put in,” Rowbotham said. “We have a great coaching staff. They are passionate about helping the kids and volunteering so much of their time. They are truly first class coaches that care a lot about these kids.” The Eagles would love nothing more than to hoist up the trophy that says “2022 UHSAA 5A State Champions.”

Deep receiving corps headlines Skyline football team

By Daniel Olsen |

“We learn from each week by expe rience,” Rowbotham said. “At the end of each game there are lessons that help you become better. Our kids do their best work and the outcome will take care of itself. We give a great effort and are consistent. They are ready to work and I’m really proud of them.” l

Grant, Luke Wright and Miles Hall. (Daniel Olsen/City Journals)

That goal started not long after the 2021 season ended last fall. Rowbotham made an effort to keep his players working out while being respectful of the multisport athletes in his program.“InJanuary they are in a football type class open to all athletes,” Rowbotham said. “I am a huge advocate for multisport ath letes. Otherwise, they lose out on more high school experiences, limit their development and increase their risk of injury. In other sports they build more friendships then ap ply what they learn to their football game.” The tallest receiver on the team is Miles Hall. His athleticism has also drawn atten tion from recruiters from many colleges. He is a three star, 6-foot-2, 195-pound athlete with offers from BYU and Utah State ac cording to 247 sports. “I’ve played both receiver and outside linebacker,” Hall said. “I always played football growing up. I’m committed to BYU to play for their defense. If I get big then I could play linebacker. This year will help me get more film out. I am really physical, tall and fast. Coach Rowbotham talks about doing my job and not doing too much which reallyManyhelps.”hours of practice are required to build a successful football program. Skyline High School is no exception. Many predict ed them to dominate Region 6 last year, but tough losses to Brighton and rival Olympus put an end to that quest. A total of 16 coaches are listed on this year’s coaching staff.

“We have had talent flow in and out,” Rowbotham said. “Our seniors last year were great leaders. This year our new kids have to come up and fill those roles. We need to create a team culture.” Similar to how the team culture is re quired among the players for success, the coaching staff also needs to work to help the team play together as a cohesive unit. The schedule will not get any easier with the Ea gles playing some of the best teams in the state at the 5A level.

That spread offense led the team to a solid winning season last year, but the 6-5 record is something the team will want to improve on. So far, it looks like the team is solid at several position groups and could very well contend for the Region 6 crown.

For Wright, a receiver, this marks his first season playing at this new position. The new faces haunting the backfield will add a new dynamic that should result in some suc cess.“I am quick and have good hands,” Wright said. “I started at the cornerback po sition last year. I only was in a couple plays on offense last year. The decision was mu tual when coach Rowbotham and I talked about it. In practice some plays the defense does well and on others the offense does well. Sometimes you can hear calls but it’s hard because everyone is going full speed. Our goal is to win a state championship.”

d.olsen@mycityjournals.comFromlefttorightareSpencer

The receivers are a particular position group that Rowbotham wanted to high light. They are Spencer Grant, Luke Wright and Miles Hall. These seniors, each with a unique skill set, are looking to leave their mark on the Eagles football program. Grant is a quick receiver who will add a new dynamic to the team after taking a break from football to ski a little more in his junior year.“The scheme is super fun,” Grant said. “It’s spread out and everyone gets the ball. The quarterback knows what he is doing.” That quarterback is Josh Calvert, who is also a senior on this team and is a first time starter. The non-region schedule includes Juan Diego, Springville and Bountiful. At the time of this article, the Eagles had come off an exciting win over the Juan Diego Soaring Eagles a year after losing to them.

“We are feeling pretty good about the schedule,” Grant said. “We’ve been going over the scouting report. All the teams are pretty tough so every week will be physical.”

The other energy initiative outlines goals for installing more electric vehicle charging stations around the cities. The landscaping section of the plan deals primarily with water conservation. Despite persistent drought, Utah has the second highest per-capita water use in the United States, sec ond only to California. More than three quarters of Utah’s water use goes toward irrigation of commercial crops and agriculture. The Action Plan creates incentives for residents to move toward xeriscaping in yards and away from tradi tional grass. Millcreek City hopes to set an example for its residents by introducing “water-wise design” to its parks and publicDevelopmentspaces. priorities outlined in the Action Plan deal mainly with construction and materials in the new Millcreek Commons plaza. The document “encourages the use of qual ity construction techniques and durable materials, including recycled and sustainably-sourced materials when feasible.”

Millcreek updates sustainability priorities in interlocal agreement

The energy priorities for Millcreek, Holladay and Cot tonwood Heights include continued participation in the Utah Community Renewable Energy Program, a piece of 2019 state legislation that “allows eligible local governments to procure net-100% renewable electricity by 2030 on behalf of their residents and businesses.”

Active transportation includes walking, cycling, scooters and more and is facilitated by making sidewalks and bike lanes more accessible.

The Millcreek City Council convened with Cottonwood Heights Sustainability Analyst and Associate Planner Samantha DeSeelhorst during their July 26 work meeting for an update on the Interlocal Sustainability Action Plan. Millcreek adopted the initiative in 2021 as a cooperative agreement with Cottonwood Heights and Holladay to estab lish a document to “make regular recommendations on spe cific sustainability priorities for each community.”

H olladay C ity J ournalPage 26 | S e P t . 2022

Priorities for 2022 have been updated and 10 major projects and objectives have been identified for the cities. The priorities can be largely understood as belonging to six main categories: energy, landscaping, development, trans portation, waste management and community outreach.

• WATER EXTRACTION • MOLD REMEDIATION • SEWAGE CLEAN UP •STRUCTURAL DRYING 801-754-6315 9500 S 500 West, Suite 104, Sandy, Utah 84070 “ The technician was prompt, worked quickly, and was very professional.

They were both professional, communication was great and they were thorough.I would recommend them to anyone! ” —Anna D The easiest way to restore your home... the best way to restore your life. www.restoration1.com/salt-lake-city EMERGENCYWATERDAMAGE 24/7 RESPONSEIMMEDIATE

The plaza and new city hall building present an opportuni ty to model sustainable development for future construction projects in Millcreek and beyond. As the Salt Lake valley gears up for a new era of perva sive poor air quality, the Action Plan recommends instituting a telecommuting policy to “encourage remote work on poor air quality days.” The COVID-19 pandemic has proven that many businesses can adapt to remote work, and new envi ronmental challenges may also force workers to shift away from commuting and in-person work. The city is also con sidering transitioning its fleet vehicles to electric or hybrid alternatives and centering “active transportation” methods.

Waste management efforts include hosting community recycling events for items that cannot be processed by curb side disposal service. The Wasatch Front Waste and Recy cling District also holds an event for such materials every fall.

By Sara Milano | s.milano@mycityjournals.com

The final and critically important category discussed in the Sustainability Action Plan is community outreach. Often missing from most discussions of sustainability is a way to educate and engage the community, members of which of ten want to be involved in sustainability efforts but do not know how. The document notes how “daunting, obtuse and overwhelming” the topic of sustainability can be for some, but ultimately recognizes that plans which engage the com munity are more effective than those that do not. Millcreek’s quality of life is increased exponentially by its access to natural spaces, and the community’s imperative to protect these beautiful places is not just a moral one, but biological as well. l

Siding - Fences - Gates 385-227-6860 I f Al Gore is crying alone in a rainforest, does he make a sound? I’m gonna say no, because he’s been warning us about the devastating effects of climate change for 40 years, but no one can hear him. So here we are, surrounded by rising temperatures, severe storms, wildfires, drought, species extinction and the demise of the Choco Taco. If I was getting hot ter each year, I’d be okay with that, but when our planet gets even a touch warmer, things start to go awry. Our Great Salt Lake is facing some dire global warming effects. With the lake shrinking, Antelope “Island” has to use airquotes. The brine shrimp industry could go the way of the dinosaurs. And the lake is now officially called the Great Salt Lick. Scientists say a toxic dust cloud rising from the dried-up lake bed will prompt a new line of citrus-scented Pledge prod ucts to “Remove deadly arsenic from your home because you didn’t address this problem decades ago, idiot.”

Peri Kinder Life and Laughter A slow burn

Remember in the spring of 2020, when people actually cared about trying to stop the spread of COVID-19? We isolated in our homes, playing endless games of Uno, Clue and Cards Against Humanity, until getting the disease didn’t seem so bad. Flights were canceled, millions of cars were off the roads, and introverts were having big celebrations. By themselves. In theirDuringclosets. those brief weeks, cities around the world showed an improvement in air and water quality. Even in Utah, the sky was bluer and the air was cleaner. Now we’re back in our cars and the air is trying to kill us.

Remember in the ‘70s, when it was discovered that chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol hairsprays were destroying the ozone layer, that thin layer of protection that absorbs radiation so we don’t get mi crowaved by the sun? Everyone used aerosol hairspray to get big hair and sky-high bangs. In fact, Aqua Net was our school mascot. But when we learned the chemicals damaged our atmo sphere, there was a worldwide campaign to ban them -- and it happened. Everyone agreed the ozone was worth protecting and did something about it. Crazy, huh? Where’s that cohesion now?

I recently walked through the Room of Extinction and Forewarning at the Utah Museum of Natural History, where dino saur bones are displayed, like the 90-footlong Barosaurus that was all neck and tail, and died 150 million years ago. A trophy wall of triceratops’ skulls stared down at me with hollow eyes and gaping jaws. Gi ant sloths and massive bears wandered this area 12,000 years ago. Of all the species that ever existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct. We could soon lose mountain gorillas, black rhinos, African forest elephants and orang utans.Here’s the thing, the Earth will be fine. It’s gone through climate cycles for 4.5 billion years. It’s watched civilizations rise and fall, and specialty soda shops fade into extinction. However, humanity is in a spot of “Buttrouble.theclimate is going to change anyway. Why is it our problem?” annoying peopleShutask.up. Yes, climate change happens naturally, but thanks to humans, the pro cess has sped up like a meteor breaking the sound barrier. I don’t want my grandchildren to wor ry about water and food and sharknados. We need to elect leaders who promote green solutions. We need politicians who care less about their pocketbook and more about the planet’s future. I believe in global warming because I’m not a knucklehead. It’s my fear that one day my skeleton will be displayed in a museum as an extinct species, with the sound of Al Gore quietly weeping through the speakers.
