HOW RUBYSNAP’S OWNER WENT FROM ARCHITECTURE TO BAKING

By Hannah LaFond | h.lafond@mycityjournals.com

R

ubySnap may now be a Utah’s favorite, but for many years it was just a daydream.

Before she opened her now successful bakery, Millcreek local Tami Steggell worked as an architectural designer with a passion for cycling. How do you go from bicycles to cookies? Well, for Steggell it was a fairly natural progression. Even while she was seriously training, she always had a love for sweets and baked goods.

“I always called myself the chubby athlete. Because I would try to eat really clean during the week for training. I started creating treats that were worthy of my free days,” Steggelll said.

Instead of buying baked goods she didn’t find satisfying, she began developing her own recipes to satisfy her sweet tooth. This also helped her as an architectural designer. She would often make cookies to help build up a relationship with her clients. But after Sept. 11, 2001, the architecture industry suffered quite a bit and it became harder for Steggell to support her family in the career she’d had for years.

She decided to take a chance and see if the public liked her recipes as much as she and her clients had.

Steggell credits her landlord for being a big support when she started out. Before she took the final leap to open her bakery, her landlord caught her peeking in the window of his building, which would eventually become RubySnap. When he asked if she wanted to rent the building she said, “No, I’m just daydreaming and daydreaming is free.” But he said he wanted to help with that dream and gave her the first three months on the building for free.

She didn’t want to go into debt, so she cashed out $ 10,000, which was all her savings, and used that as her starting point, rather than taking out a loan.

It turned out the public did love her recipes, and RubySnap took off right away, growing 40% each year for the first 10 years.

“I feel like Utah is a really good breeding ground for

helping one another. I found that other small business owners weren’t competitive with you, they were supportive,” Steggell said.

Now she tries to support other budding entrepreneurs the way she was. And she also strives to give back to the community that has supported her through RubySnap’s donation program.

Skyline rebuild still in planning process, district responds to neighbors’ concerns

G

ranite School District continues their work on the Skyline High School rebuild. With the facility still in planning stages, the community hopes their concerns will be addressed in time to make a difference.

“We have spent the last nine months evaluating community feedback including the survey and visiting with parents, students and the local school community council. We want to make sure we understand all those concerns as we proceed with the design,” said Ben Horsley, director of communications for GSD. In June, a video rendering of how the rebuild will “transform” the campus was posted on GSD’s website. Many neighbors of the school posted comments, which were all quickly addressed by Horsley. To view the video and read the comments and responses, visit www.gsdfuture.org and click on the

Skyline link. The new school will be built on the campus while existing structures are still in use.

One neighbor who commented was Mike Buehner. Buehner lives just north of the school and has had problems with students hiding in the vegetation near the border of his house and the school during school hours. He hopes the rebuild design will help solve that problem.

“I am not opposed to the rebuild, but I’m hoping they will use it as an opportunity to clean up a problem that has been neglected for more than 20 years,” Buehner wrote in an email to the Holladay Journal.

Buehner’s Skyline roots run deep. “I attended Skyline as did all my siblings. My two oldest children are Skyline graduates, one child currently attends Skyline, and two more will be Skyline ninth graders next

year,” Buehner said.

Buehner is also invested in the neighborhood and its relationship to the school. “I live in the home I grew up in, which borders Skyline property on the north. We frequently hear Skyline students who are hiding out in the brush during school hours, have smelled marijuana smoke, and get some of their garbage thrown over the fence into our yard,” Buehner said.

Buehner said he understands how hard it can be to get everything right. “I feel like [I got] a standard reply. I also realize that my concern is rather far down the list of priorities, but I wanted to be sure to bring it to their attention. I read several other comments and see that Mr. Horsley has been very diplomatic in all his responses. He has a difficult job trying to keep everyone happy,” Buehner said.

Other neighbors expressed concern about bright lights and traffic from the school. A neighbor going by Chris wrote, “As someone who lives directly west of the campus, I am concerned about the lighting that is going to have to go in. We have had problems with light shining into our home at night. What considerations are being given to the neighbors of Skyline to mitigate the light pollution?” Horsley posted that the design team was working on this problem.

Adrienne Henderson identified herself as a resident near Upland Drive. She was concerned about the traffic flow and the safety of her children. Henderson also brought up issues of light pollution, water use on the fields and teacher and administrative salaries versus rebuilding existing facilities.

To her concerns, Horsley stated that extensive traffic studies have been done to “alleviate as much traffic as possible from Upland … there will be less traffic on Upland with the new building.”

Henderson and Horsley continued their comments back and forth to each other, with Horsley suggesting they just “agree to disagree” on the topic of administrator salaries.

Horsley shared with the Holladay Journal that GSD is “hoping to finalize construction timelines shortly.” One of Horsley’s responses to the video comments states that overall the “phasing estimates a five-and-ahalf year construction project. A final phasing estimate will be posted in the next few weeks.”

Training for the unthinkable disaster

By Kirk Bradford | k.bradford@mycityjournals.com

D

oes your family know how to respond during an active shooter event?

Millcreek’s Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) taught this training last month. CERT members were on hand for a public meet-and-greet followed by two hours of Immediate Responder Training at the city hall. The instructor for the evening was Cathy Allen, a community outreach coordinator and veteran of disaster response.

The training taught responses to several disasters. Attendees spent the most time preparing to handle an active attack event. This is when three or more people are killed. “The attackers we are seeing are learning from us, and they are learning from past attackers’ mistakes,” Allen said . “Do not open the door for someone shouting ‘police’ during the shooting — attackers have learned this trick.”

Knowing how to respond in these situations for a minimum of three minutes is critical. It’s the window of time before police respond. Three minutes is the national average and Salt Lake County’s time.

Participants also learned the known signs most attackers present. Allen explained how compassion can possibly reduce incidents. She summarized the story of a boy, bullied and overweight. He said he didn’t have a friend in the world. He decided he would shoot up his school. After planning

and ready to do it, a friend reached out. He decided that if he had one real friend, it was enough. He received help and didn’t attack.

The simple act of reaching out can change someone’s world.

The training detailed what is called “diffusion of responsibility.” People in large groups generally assume someone else will help, so they don’t get involved. Which is why the average time for help is 10 minutes.

The interesting part of the demonstration was if one person came and offered help, others joined in.

Trainers simulated the three universal stages of disaster — denial, deliberation and decisive action — by playing, without warning, five gunshots in delayed succession. “When you aren’t prepared, your brain goes into denial. It tries to make sense. Those must be fireworks going off next door, someone playing a prank. More time goes by and gunshots get louder and closer. Deliberation.

People panic. If you are prepared mentally to cut through the denial, deliberate and make a decisive action, you can survive,” Allen said.

Attackers can cover a large area in three minutes, so it’s critical to act quickly. “Scripting these situations a few times each day in your daily life will allow your mind to cut through the denial, deliberation and to take action if needed,” Allen said.

Decide now that you’ll be the person to act. “The times we live in require us to prepare. It’s not if something happens, it’s when,” she said.

When it comes to protecting ourselves during an active shooting, participants were taught that instead of playing dead, which won’t fool shooters, they should think more creatively, such as blocking doors with whatever is on hand and using fire extinguishers as a weapon.

The Millcreek Journal sat down with

Curtis Watkins, an experienced community outreach coordinator. He explained how their funding came through a large grant. “We have the ability to come to your business, your church or home to train. All completely free to help you.”

“After this training, you can attend Emergency Response Training. Both are free and can help protect your employees, church or family if ever they’re injured,” Watkins said. To schedule a training or learn more, visit SLCOEM.com.

How Morningside Elementary put the fun in fundraiser

By Heather Lawrence | heather.lawrence@mycityjournals.com

S

chool fundraisers might conjure up images of cute kids selling chocolate or coupon books. You really want to help them, but you might not need what they’re selling.

Morningside Elementary School’s fundraiser is one the community looks forward to each year — a Blockwalk with a carnival-like atmosphere. This year’s incarnation was held Sept. 6 at the school at 4170 South 3000 East.

“This is a community event that people look forward to each year. People come to volunteer who don’t even have kids at the school anymore. We were setting up today and a woman was out on a walk — she just came over and started helping us,” said Mandy Perez-Morris, the PTA presiden- elect of Morningside.

The theme for this year’s Blockwalk was “A Night Under the Big Top.” To enhance the carnival theme, the school ground was set up with bounce houses, face painting stations and food trucks. Volunteers ran a bake sale with food donations from local businesses like Great Harvest Bread Co. and Crumbl Cookies. More donations went toward a silent auction.

“We have to give a big shout-out to the businesses who donated to our bake sale and silent auction. Everyone’s a part of it, and that makes it really fun,” Perez-Morris said.

Students like third graders Ella and Madelyn also contributed by doing the Blockwalk. “We mark a route that goes around the school and kids get pledges from people to pay a certain amount for each time they complete the route. This year’s route is .6 of a mile, so it’s a good distance,” said Dan Lauritzen, communications VP on the Morningside PTA board.

Some may question why schools have fundraisers in the first place. The Utah PTA website notes that funds raised by elementary schools go toward PTA projects. “PTAs do not exist to raise money, but raise money to

exist,” the website states.

PTAs at the elementary level are governed by bylaws and specific policies regarding money. Each school has its own board that meets regularly. They organize and support extra activities such as Reflections, Red Ribbon Week, class parties, Field Day and a meal for teachers during Parent-Teacher Conferences.

“This is the one fundraiser we do for the whole year that goes to support more than 20 programs and events. Any funds left at the end of the year go back to the school. Last year we used our extra funds to buy a Buddy Bench for the playground,” Perez-Morris said.

PTAs are allowed one major fundraiser per year. The Morningside Blockwalk has become such a tradition that they likely won’t be changing it to sell chocolate instead any time soon. “We’ve been doing this for 25 years. It’s always in September. We get lots of community support, especially from Skyline and Olympus students. They get Community Cares credit for volunteering,” Perez-Morris said.

Morningside’s fundraising goal was op- The face painting station at Morningside’s fundraiser night was one of the most popular. (Heather Lawrence/ timistic: $25,000. Lauritzen said the school City Journals) of about 600 students needs a lot of unifying events because they are “a melting pot school.”

“We have three distinct programs here that bring in kids from all over the valley.

First, there is the traditional track as the neighborhood school. Second, we have a dual-immersion French program. And third, we are a magnet school,” Perez-Morris said.

Magnet schools have accelerated academic programs for gifted and talented students.

“Our role as PTA board members is to do everything we can to support kids,” Lauritzen said. Based on the success of this year’s fundraiser, it looks like they’re off to a great start.

Utah Foundation provides balanced, relevant information to policy makers, the press and the public

By Jennifer J. Johnson | j.johnson@mycityjournals.com

I

ndependent. Nonprofit. Nonpartisan.

In these times of divisive tumult— across the country and across the county— those seem to be music to the ears.

Utah Foundation has been providing this policy-research music to Utah for nearly 75 years. The organization, goaled with producing objective, thorough, well-reasoned research, celebrates its 75th birthday this next year. The birthday comes one year after another milestone for the organization: Contributing to helping the Utah Legislature’s 2019 session, wherein the most bills were passed than any other session—and far surpassed, to the tune of 10% increase above any previous year’s legislative session.

The history behind Utah Foundation

Utah Foundation was founded in 1945 by business and civic leaders. According to UF Executive Director Peter Reichard, Utah’s establishing the organization mirrors what was established by other organizations across the county.

The key to the organization’s unique offering, said Reichard, is its “solutions-oriented perspective” and being “focused on the problems facing communities, but doing it in a completely nonpartisan manner, with no underlying ideology or political perspective.”

Nonpartisan, but driven by the political cycle

Research, but not advocacy—when it rains, it pours

Couple creates a niche in children’s book world

By Spencer W. Belnap | s.belnap@mycityjournals.com

A

my and Greg Newbold are about to have their third children’s book published. They are a creative husband and wife duo who have begun to carve out a spot in the picture book world.

From their home art studio and offices in Millcreek, the Newbolds are always working on the books and various side projects and classes.

The two grew up in different parts of the Salt Lake Valley and met while attending BYU. Amy was a stay-at-home mom and did office work while practicing her writing. Greg began freelancing as an illustrator and occasionally teaching art classes around the area. After the youngest child left the nest, the timing opened itself for both of them to create the books. While visiting the Picasso Museum in Paris, Amy came up with an idea for a children’s picture book that shows different art styles and famous artists. The first publishers they pitched to weren’t interested, but eventually one was. Tilbury House, a publisher based in Maine, liked the idea and “If Picasso Painted a Snowman” was published in 2017.

“It’s a bit of a niche idea,” Amy said. “And Tilbury does more of an educational market, so they liked that it would get good feedback from librarians and teachers.”

Amy wrote the story while Greg drew the pictures. He took on the challenge of training himself how to draw

MillcreekJournal .com

and paint similar to famous artists such as Picasso, Van Gogh, Georgia O’Keeffe and Jackson Pollock. The book invites young readers and artists to think differently about art and shows that there are many ways to draw and illustrate various subjects. Some art history is thrown in as well.

“Before this one was even released, the publisher came back and asked us if we’d consider doing a sequel,” Greg said. “Which we’d never really thought about. It was conceived as a sort of onetime thing.”

The Newbolds ultimately agreed to do a second book. “If da Vinci Painted a Dinosaur” was published in 2018 and turned the couple’s combined endeavor into a conceptual series of books.

The second book included some lesser known artists such as Cassius Coolidge and Edgar Degas. While the first book was written prior to them being picked up by a publisher, they needed to write the follow-up quickly. They put aside most extra projects or freelance work and had it in time for the publisher’s deadline.

From there, the two books began selling more. Local bookstores were important partners in helping build awareness, as well as workshops such as the Writing and Illustrating for Young Readers that takes place in Utah every year. The Newbolds have found the experience fun, challenging and re-

warding.

“One of the neatest things for me was an email from someone who tutored a student from elementary through junior high,” Amy said. “They struggled with school and reading.

When they read the artist biographies in the back of the ‘Snowman’ book, and about Monet drawing caricatures of his teachers in school, the student really connected with it. They liked art, and it gave them someone they can relate to.”

One school has done an entire art exhibit around the first book and the different art styles. Both books released so far are found in art museums in various states and are still being discovered by educators. The Newbolds hope their picture books inspire artists and students in Utah and beyond. They also hope others in the community think about creating their own children’s books.

“I think we really lift each other up here,” Greg said. “A lot of people want to give back to the arts and culture and to be involved.”

The third book in their series, “If Monet Painted a Monster,” is set to be released this fall. The first two can be found at www.amynewbold.com and Amazon, as well as bookstores across the valley. To see more of Greg’s illustration work, visit www.gregnewbold. com.

Millcreek celebrates Jordan River with Boats and Floats

By Hannah LaFond | h.lafond@mycityjournals.com

O

n the first Saturday in September, dozens of children and families came together in Millcreek’s Sunnyvale Park for an afternoon of toy boat racing and root beer floats. It may sound like an odd combination, but this event, called Boats and Floats, was part of the month long Get to the River Festival.

“All through September, cities and counties along the river hosted events that aimed to celebrate, protect and restore the Jordan River.

The Get to the River Festival was

launched six years ago, but this September marks the first time Millcreek has participated. Millcreek might not be an obvious city to participate, because it has such a short riverfront of Jordan River’s 50 miles. Sunnyvale Park, where the event was hosted, isn’t even on the river. But it is close, and there are many recreational and educational activities Millcreek residents can enjoy.

The Jordan River Commission had a tent set up at the event to educate about these activities such as biking, walking, boating

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

and fishing. They discussed with attendees the safest and most environmentally friendly ways to enjoy all the river has to offer.

The Jordan River is also home to a lot of wildlife. The Tracy Aviary attended to share information on the 200 bird species who call the Jordan River home.

Millcreek Councilwoman Silvia Catten was excited for everything this event offered the community.

“The goal of this event is to celebrate the Jordan River in a fun way and get the word out that this beautiful river is in our community,” Catten said. “The Sunnyvale area is home for a very diverse population with a lot of kids, so the hope is that this will be a fun activity to see what the Jordan River has to offer.”

It was certainly a fun day for all the families who attended, with face paint, chalk art, root beer floats and games all free and available to anyone. Because the event wasn’t on the river, the organizers got creative with water-themed games. Right next to the root beer float stand they held toy boat races, using boats made of upcycled milk cartons on a small, inflatable water track. Families were able to enjoy the water, even without the river.

Boats and Floats was held in conjunction with New Roots/International Rescue Committee at their Sunnyvale Farmers Mar-

ket. Sunnyvale Farmers Market takes place Saturdays from noon to 2 p.m. and features locally grown produce, a food pantry and free lunch for children. The market also sells crops grown by local refugee farmers. It’s a great way for refugee farmers to sell their produce while also giving back to the community.

Also at the market was a booth for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. They provided healthy snacks and informative material on buying local produce and preparing healthy meals on a budget.

Altogether the Boats and Floats event was a day full of family, community, education and fun.

Volunteers for Utah’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program set up their table at Sunnyvale Park on Sept. 7. (Hannah LaFond/City Journals)

Bike clinic strive to empower women

By Hannah LaFond | h.lafond@mycityjournals.com

Erik Urban answers questions about bike maintenance at 2nd Tracks bike clinic.

(Hannah LaFond/City Journals)

F

ive female biking enthusiasts gathered in the back of Millcreek’s 2nd Tracks Sports for a night of bike tuning, learning and socializing. 2nd Tracks Sports partnered with SheJumps to host a bike clinic on the first Thursday in September.

Sam Millsap, an ambassador from SheJumps, helped run the event.

“This is really about empowering women that they can take care of their own bike,” Millsap said.

2nd Tracks Sports has been a part of Utah’s outdoor sporting community since 2009, offering lightly used and new ski and

bike products. Which makes them a great pairing for SheJumps, a nonprofit focused on getting girls and women involved in more outdoor activities.

SheJumps holds many similar events throughout Utah and nationwide to encourage and bring women together. Along with skill-building clinics such as the one hosted in Millcreek, they teach girls wildlife survival, nature preservation, specific outdoor skills and host fundraising climbs. The overall purpose is to foster confidence and self-sufficiency in the women and girls who participate.

Millsap spoke about the relationship SheJumps has developed over the years with 2nd Tracks. Most winters they do a wine and wax night to prepare for the skiing season, just as this night was getting ready for the upcoming bike season.

Along with learning new skills, Millsap said socialization is one of the main draws to events like this.

“It’s a great way to find other women who share your interests. I’ve met so many friends through SheJumps,” Millsap said.

This seemed to be the case that evening as Millsap and the women chatted about various trails they’ve been on, exchanged tips and bonded over their mutual enthusiasm for all things outdoors and cycling.

Erik Urban ran the bike clinic for the

7 costly mistakes could cost you thousands when selling your Millcreek home.

A new report has just been released which reveals 7 costly mistakes that most homeowners make when selling their home, and a 9-Step System that can help you sell your home fast and for the most amount of money. This industry reports shows clearly how the traditional ways of selling homes have become increasingly less and less effective in today’s market.

In answer to this issue, industry insiders have prepared a free special report entitled “The 9-Step System to Get

Your Home Sold Fast and For Top Dollar.”

night. He took the women in attendance through the basics of bike tuning: checking wheels, brakes and trailside maintenance. Urban said he had previously taught women’s bike clinics at the University of Idaho, making him well prepared for the night.

The group was enthusiastic throughout the lesson and asked questions about different problems they had faced with their own bikes.

While tuning an example bike, Urban went through the reasons for everything he did, giving quick pointers to make things easier to do at home or out on a trail.

While he used specific tools available in the bike shop, he also made a point of letting the women know what they could use in place of these tools when fixing their own

bike.

He held up one tool used to push apart brake pads. “Is this a special bike shop tool?” he asked. “Sure, but it’s also the same as a business card folded in half.”

These kinds of tips and tricks made his training more accessible, so they could actually do it on the go and on their own.

Enabling women to do this for themselves was the main point of the event. While the evening was fun and useful, Millsap said the mission of SheJumps and the event is ultimately about more than just outdoor hobbies.

It’s about empowerment. Teaching women and girls the skills to take care of their bikes means they don’t have to rely on anyone to do that for them and are more free to do it whenever they want and on their own.

t was almost business as usual at last month’s regularly scheduled city council meeting. After discussing land zoning and future construction, it became time for public comments or concerns. Marv Poulson, a long time resident of the area, took the podium and presented the council with some papers. They were his critiqes typed in red responding to statements in last months city’s report card that favorably reported the city’s perceived status. The news article was written by the city’s paper with statistics from an outside survey company, Y2 Analytics. The article shined a bright and positive look at the community’s view in areas involving the city council and its actions. Poulson felt many disagreed.

The Millcreek newsletter article wrote the following three survey statistics. Eightyeight percent feel the city is headed the right direction. Ninety percent approve of how the mayor and city council are handling things.

Ninety-two percent would likely recommend Millcreek to friends and family as a good place to live.

At the podium, Poulson quoted Abraham Lincoln: “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.” He explained he felt the article showed blatant “arrogance” of the city council to disregard the remarks from other city members that may not have shined so brightly on the report card.

“After strenuous efforts to contribute to this community in a positive constructive way, I have been ignored,” Poulson said with anger. “Claims from this so-called survey favorably countered the other citizens’ comments, recommendations and concerns, and has no basis in fact. Crow as you may, what counts most is citizen involvement, positive or negative as you perceive it.”

He continued driving home his perception of the article as editorially positioned

superior to his opinion and other standing members. Mayor Jeff Silvestrini elected not to “start a debate at this time” and noted Poulson and his remarks.

Silvestrini told the Millcreek Journal after the meeting that, “the statistics represented in the newsletter were based on responses from a survey done by an outside source.”

He showed the reported total number of surveys sent out was approximately 9,600. Millcreek’s population is just over 60,000.

“I estimate it was roughly over 700 citizens who responded. I was assured that it was an above-average response based on this type of survey,” Silvestrini said. “They (Y2 Analytics) indicated not only was it an above average response but it also only showed a margin of error of only 3–4%.”

At press time, Y2 Analytics had declined to respond to the Journal’s request for the number of negative responses they had received and how many similar surveys they had conducted to determine the 3–4% result variation.

So…I went to the Utah State Fair for the first time

By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

Photo: (Flickr)

P

rior to last weekend, I had somehow managed to go through 27 years of life without ever attending a state fair. Not sure how that happened, but on Saturday night I decided to remedy the situation.

Upon arriving at the Utah State Fairgrounds, I immediately made my way toward the food vendors. I hadn’t had dinner yet, so I was starving and eager to dive into the mythical world of fair food, of which I’d heard many mouth-watering rumors. As it turned out, I’d actually crossed into a frightening alternate reality where everything is twice as expensive as it ought to be.

I thought the fare from food trucks,

theme parks and stadiums was overpriced.

But they have nothing on the state fair.

By the time I got to the front of the line of a pop-up barbecue joint, I’d realized that the bacon-wrapped turkey leg which I’d set my heart on was a whopping $22. And that was just for the leg. No fries. No drink. Outrageous.

I pivoted to the rib dinner plate, which was $18, but came with fries and coleslaw.

A better value, I thought, and slightly less messy. Emphasis on slightly.

As a frugal person, I just had to close my eyes and not think about the fact that I was forking over enough money for several meals

off the Wendy’s Dollar Menu in exchange for a single dinner. Much in the same way that I soon had to not think about the possibility that the ribs I was eating had come from a cute little talking pig named Wilbur who’d been fattened up for the state fair.

I’ll say this though, those ribs were amazing. I don’t know if it was just my subconscious trying to convince myself that the pork was worth the price, but I loved every barbecue sauce-soaked second of devouring them. (Sorry, Wilbur!)

Next, I decided to forgo the carnival rides in favor of checking out the prize-winning animals and gourds and whatnot. Why the detour? Well, there are few things in this world that I trust less than carnival rides. It seems like every summer you hear about someone dying at a county fair because a worker forgot to tighten a screw all the way.

Granted, my risk of dying on a carnival ride is probably a lot less than my risk of having a heart attack after consuming approximately 6,000 calories worth of ribs, candy, roasted corn and various fried foods throughout the night. (Not that I did that…)

Anyway, seeing all the prize-winning agricultural submissions was quite the eye-opening experience. First of all, I didn’t even know what half the fruits and vegetables even were. I mean, who needs those

when deep-fried Snickers bars are a thing?

Second, I had no idea that cows were so big. I must have only ever seen petting zoo cows before, because those prize-winning behemoths were massive. Those giants with their big boney booties have haunted my dreams ever since.

Third, I learned that there is a prize awarded for the best grain. Yeah. There was a ziplock baggie of wheat or barley or something with a ribbon on it. I had so many questions. How does one judge one bag of grain against another? Is that a hotly-contested category? How does one get involved in competitive grain-harvesting?

Overall, the agriculture portion seemed to me like the forgotten part of the state fair, a dying art that fewer and fewer people can appreciate because of the commercialization of the industry. Maybe things will turn around in the coming years when cannabis is inevitably legalized and it gets included as a category of its own.

That would probably draw a crowd.

I very much enjoyed my first time at the Utah State Fair and would recommend it to anyone else who has yet to attend the event.

Whether you’re into organically grown prize-winning vegetables or deep-fried bacon-wrapped candy bars, you’ll find something to enjoy. .

By Shaun Delliskave | s.delliskave@mycityjournals.com It was a first for the State of Utah and, to date, the first and only one for Murray—an execution. In 1896, in true Wild West fashion, saloonkeeper Charles Thiede was hung in a genuinely gruesome manner for the murder of his wife. While the territory of Utah had executed a few outlaws before Thiede, this was the first as a state, and it made national headlines.

Thiede’s life of crime can be traced in newspaper headlines years before the slaying of his wife. Thiede left his native Germany to serve in the navies of England and Chile, but after fighting against the Peruvians, Thiede hoped to find solace in his native land. Upon returning to Germany, he was immediately conscripted into the army, where he served as a cook, a profession he kept for the rest of his life. After military service, he married Mary Frank in 1884, and together they set off for a better life in America, settling in Sandy and having a child.

The ne’er-do-well Thiede, who had a fearsome temper, opened his first tavern, the Social Hall Saloon, in the fall of 1886 in downtown Salt Lake City. That same year, he was fined for punching a woman who had accidentally dropped a piece of paper into his lap. After being shut down for selling liquor without a license, or for selling it on a Sunday, Thiede opened, and was forced to close, numerous establishments.

By the early 1890s, Thiede was a regular before the court, usually losing his liquor license or being punished for assaulting someone. As a result, Salt Lake City was no longer a welcoming spot for Thiede, and the saloonkeeper saw prime opportunity to jump into the thriving bar scene along State Street in Murray. Finding a small patch of ground behind the Germania smelter on 4800 South, Thiede opened the West Side Saloon.

A notorious womanizer who welcomed prostitutes into his bar, Thiede was

also known to frequently abuse his wife, Mary; even for rough-and-tumble Murray, that was not acceptable. The night before May 1, 1894, Mary had fled to a neighbor’s home after a violent fight. As she always had done before, she returned. But this time, she returned home to find a very drunken Charles, who was waiting for her with a butcher’s knife. He sliced her throat from ear to ear. Blood-splattered Thiede then went to Harry Hayne’s saloon, where he reportedly told the sheriff, “Well, I killed my wife last night.”

The next morning, a crowd swarmed the sheriff’s office, trying to carry out its own version of justice by lynching Thiede. The sheriff relocated his prisoner to the Salt Lake County jail, which was also in Murray. There, Thiede changed his story and claimed he was innocent. He told the judge he found her body in his house, and that her dying words were, “Oh, Charlie.”

The prosecutors, long familiar with the defendant, presented a forensically tight case, first pointing out that the victim could in no way talk, as her head was nearly cut off. They also argued that because Charles was covered in blood—meaning the heart would still need to be pumping in order for the blood to splatter on him—then he had to be with Mary, in their home, at the time of the murder. Found guilty, Thiede was sentenced to be hanged.

In 1896, Thiede’s time was up, but the sheriff wanted to try a new-and-improved way of hanging. Instead of the condemned being dropped through a trap door, Thiede was going to be hanged by an ingenious system of pulleys; he would stand on the ground, and a metal weight would yank him upward, snapping his neck.

Lawmen from around the West convened at the Salt Lake County jail to watch the new method in action. At the appointed time, Thiede, who still professed his innocence, was yanked up by the noose, but it failed to snap his neck. Instead, he hung

on the gallows for 14 minutes, strangled to death. That hanging method was never used again.

Even in death, Thiede gained no sympathy. An arsonist burned his saloon down.

The Salt Lake Herald-Republican reported that residents in Murray and Cottonwood Heights guarded their cemeteries to prevent his body from being interred there.

Eventually, he was buried in Sandy City’s cemetery—but only for a day. He was disinterred at the request of Sandy residents and buried in a field adjacent to the graveyard. l

Only enthusiastic spooks need apply at Castle of Chaos

By Jenniffer Wardell | j.wardell@mycityjournals.com Becoming a ghost, ghoul or monstrous fiend isn’t as complicated as some people think.

At least, it isn’t at the Castle of Chaos. The haunted house, which is open now through Nov. 2, held auditions for their cast of scarers this past August. Interviews required applicants to groan, scream, shuffle menacingly and try their best to startle someone enough to make them jump. According to the Castle of Chaos directing team, however, a willingness to try is far more important than acting experience or the ability to deliver convincing scares.

“I look for people who are free and open with their body and voice,” said Castle of Chaos Director Nick Justice. “If you’re coming in here and you’re going crazy, even if it makes no sense, you’re better than half the people who come in here.”

He also said it’s important that people be able to take direction and follow guidance offered by one of the directing team.

Justice and Castle of Chaos Casting Director Kelly Drabik spend most of the audition asking applicants to show off their ability to do things like zombie walks or predatory stalking at low heights. They’ll also ask if the applicants have any special talents, such as a particularly good creepy laugh or the ability to twist your arm in a disturbing-looking way.

“It’s really laid back,” said Castle of Chaos General Manager Dalton Brown.

“You don’t have to have anything prepared.”

Another part of the audition process involves the directing team figuring out how each applicant would best fit into the haunted house. That includes several factors, from a map of the planned rooms for the upcoming season to asking the applicant whether they have a particular role they want to do.

Though he’d turned most of the interviews over to Justice and Drabik, Castle of Chaos Owner James Bernard offered some guidance on this part of the process.

Though roles such as Freddy Krueger require actors with a specific body type, there are plenty of other roles designed to fit a variety of ages and body types.

“After 19 years of running a haunted house, it’s second nature to see someone, get to know their personality, and see where they’d have the most fun and be the most effective,” he said.

Though he said having fun is the major factor in where an actor gets placed, elements such as the actors age will determine whether they can take on certain roles.

“When you’re in an authority role, for example, it’s tough to scare someone older,” he said, explaining why he tends not to cast younger actors in roles such as murderous doctors.

Sometimes, how you look can also be a factor in where you end up.

“For our Hollywood roles, we do look at physical appearance,” said Drabik. “Jason (Voorhees) needs to look like Jason.

But we also like 4-foot-tall little girls, because they’re scary as heck.”

No matter where the actor ends up, however, it’s important that they know how to scare responsibly. Midvale’s Castle of Chaos (7980 S. State Street) offers several different levels of scares, with higher levels including more physical contact. Level three involves touching, level four includes pushing and dragging, and higher levels involve even more intense experiences.

Given that level of interaction, the directing team looks for actors who keep the safety of both the guests and their fellow performers in mind.

“We look for people who can be safe with it,” said Mike Harmon, a Castle of Chaos acting coach who runs classes on doing hands-on scares. “A lot of the stuff we do at level four can get dangerous unless you do it carefully.”

For Justice, making sure no one gets hurt is far more important than being frightening.

“In my mind, it doesn’t matter how scary it is,” he said. “If you get hurt, that’s all you’re going to remember.”

Besides, the people who are selected to become scarers for the year will get a chance to hone their scaring ability. In addition to the hands-on classes, the haunted house offers other classes, dress rehearsals and an orientation meeting that allows them to get more in-depth with their roles.

Some years, they even give them a chance to help each other master their roles.

“We send other actors through the haunted house to give them a chance to practice,” said Drabik.

In the end, the willingness to put in that work is the biggest thing the directing

team looks for during the auditions.

“We look for enthusiasm,” she said.

“If you come in with a passion for haunted houses, we’ll find a place for you.” l

The rooms in the haunted house are divided into different things, with killer hospitals (above) and murderous clowns both being a common theme. (Photo provided by Castle of Chaos)

After 21 years of fall festivities, West Jordan’s Crazy Corn Maze has decided to give the business a complete makeover for the 2019 season.

Launching themselves into the modern age of technology, the business is now utilizing smart technology this Halloween to add even more fun to their attraction.

“This year we will have a new GPS smart phone map so you can track yourself as you find your way through the maze,” said Crazy Corn Maze owner Julianna Maynard. “We are also adding a smart phone trivia game.”

The Crazy Corn Maze first opened in 1998, 21 years ago, as a simple corn maze near Salt Lake Community College in Taylorsville. Two years later, it moved to their current location, 8800 S. 4000 West in West Jordan.

Crazy Corn Maze has grown into a unique Halloween venue throughout this time, in that their multiple, custom-made attractions appeal to a wide demographic — this year more than ever.

While there is still the option to walk through the classic, family friendly 8-acre maze with no “haunts” or spooks, the adrenaline junkies will be roaming what is called the Night Stalkers Haunted Trail.

In 2016, the business began renovating the haunted trail, and the Night Stalkers Haunted Trail was officially born as a separate attraction within Crazy Corn Maze.

“Each year we have put tremendous effort into making this one of the top haunt-

ed attractions,” Maynard said. “In 2017 and 2018 we were voted the No. 1 haunted attraction in Utah by utahhauntedhouses. com.”

The Night Stalkers Haunted Trail stands out as an interactive entertaining experience for thrill seekers and more adult attendees.

There are four terrifying sections of the trail: Creatures of the Corn; Phobia: What are you afraid of?; 3D Slumber: Pleasant screams; and Horror Show.

Among the multiple attractions at Crazy Corn Maze, there is also a playground for small children that includes a corn pit, a straw mountain with slides and games, as well as Mayble’s 3D Funhouse which is a not-so-scary junior attendee interactive haunted house.

Also debuting this year, Crazy Corn Maze is set to dazzle their audience with a Fright Lights attraction, a magical pumpkin patch light show. Patrons will walk through the lighted pumpkin patch and be given a pumpkin of their own to take home.

“We hope patrons come away wondering how on earth we do what we do, as well as being scared in a fun and sometimes humorous way,” Maynard said.

“Whether you like a fun family fall tradition, or want to be scared out of your mind, we aim to provide an exceptional seasonal entertainment experience.”

The maze opens Sept. 27 and runs through Nov. 2. It is open Monday-Thursday 6-10 p.m, Friday 6-11:30 p.m., and Saturday from noon to 11:30 p.m. l

Driverless shuttle nicknamed Tom now on Utah roads

By Cassie Goff | cassie@mycityjournals.com

HONESTY The University of Utah campus has been the most recent workplace for the state’s new autonomous shuttle nicknamed Tom. Tom will be visiting a variety of different communities from now until spring 2020. The shuttle is driverless, which means there’s no need for either a steering wheel or pedals. However, there currently is a human monitor on board helping to navigate and provide information to riders. (University of Utah)

year after narrowly missing out on the Region 6 championship, the Skyline girls soccer team is in a good position to take back the crown it shared two seasons ago.

Heading into its Sept. 24 game at Cottonwood, the Eagles were perched atop Region 6 with an 8-1-1 mark. The team was 101-1 overall at this point.

Closing out the season with a league title won’t be easy, though.

There’s a crowd near the top of the region, with East, Murray and Olympus not far behind Skyline. The Leopards and Spartans were 7-2-1 at press time, while the Titans had a 7-3 league record as of Sept. 23. With just a win or two separating the challengers from Skyline, the Eagles don’t have much margin for error.

Skyline’s blemishes have come later in the year.

The Eagles won their first six Region 6 contests, four of them by at least four goals.

The other two victories during this stretch were one-goal barn-burners — 3-2 over Murray on Aug. 20 and 4-3 over Olympus on Aug. 22. Skyline crushed Cottonwood and Hillcrest by the score of 8-0 in each game.

The Eagles also blitzed Highland 6-1 on Aug. 15.

Skyline’s perfect record was ruined in a

3-3 tie with East on Sept. 10. After two more wins — 2-0 over Highland and 3-0 over Murray — the Eagles suffered their first loss of the year in a 4-2 setback with Olympus on Sept. 19. Jayda Masina and Rozlin Gomez tallied goals for Skyline in the loss.

Through 12 games, the Eagles had one of Class 5A’s most potent offenses. Skyline had 58 goals during this stretch, more than any other 5A team except for Region 9’s Maple Mountain. Skyline’s production has dropped a bit in region play, but the team’s defense has stepped up, allowing the fewest goals in the league.

With such offensive production, one would expect some excellent individual play.

The Eagles have had that in the dynamic duo of Ali Swensen and Izzy Wright. The two had 11 and 10 goals, respectively, as of Sept. 23.

At this point, Ani Jensen and Gomez weren’t far behind with eight and seven goals, respectively. Ella Kortbawi had five goals, while Zoe Garver, Lily Kimball and Masina each had four. Goalie Lucy Peterson had 2.5 shutouts.

The Eagles faced Cottonwood on the road Sept. 24 before hosting Hillcrest on Sept. 26. Skyline plays at Brighton Oct. 1 and closes out the regular season Oct. 3 at home against East.

Continued from front page Despite Rubysnap’s obvious success, there were some bumps along the way. Eighteen months into opening the bakery, Pillsbury sued for the name, which at the time was Dough Girl.

Steggell originally named the bakery Dough Girl as an homage to women air service pilots in World War II who were nicknamed the dough girls.

Instead of fighting Pillsbury on the name Steggell decided to rebrand. She still wanted the name to reference her favorite era, the 1940s, so Steggell took a popular name and phrase from the time to create the now iconic RubySnap.

“All I care about is baking,” she said. “I can get a new name.”

Her love of the 1940s, which she truly believes is the greatest generation, can also be seen in decorations in the RubySnap Bakery. More than that Steggell said she tries to emulate the way people pulled together in the 1940s through her company’s culture and message.

RubySnap cookies are available at the bakery at 770 South 300 West in Salt Lake City, as well as at Smith’s Marketplaces in Lehi, Daybreak and Park City.

“We’ve had lots of opportunities to grow really fast, but we just wanted to control our growth. I was a mother and I wanted to be a mom, I wanted that to be my priority. I kept my original promise to myself and my family to make sure I had plenty of time for them.”

However, now that her children are grown up, Steggell plans to expand RubySnap at a faster rate. So, you might be looking forward to more readily available RubySnap cookies in the future.

Desert Star’s latest parody takes on the famous, freaky Addams Family, with a Utah cultural twist. This zany parody opens August 29th and it’s a hilarious musical melodrama for the whole family you don’t want to miss!

This show, written by Ben Millet, with a 2019 adaptation and direction by Scott Holman, follows the story of the monstrous Adams Clan, as they attempt to outwit a greedy oil baroness, Mrs. Measley, who is intent on destroying their home to get at the oil underneath. The colorful characters include the wacky inventor, Groucho, his adoringly morbid wife, Cruella, and a wisecracking, disembodied head named, Bob. When the evil Mrs. Measley sends her son, Horace, undercover to spy on the Adams, he falls head over heels in love with their Frankstein-esque daughter, Dementia. Things get even more complicated when Horace’s overbearing fiancé, Heather, learns of their love and, vowing revenge, teams up with Mrs. Measley. Will Horace and Dementia find reanimated romance together?

Will the Adams be able to keep their happy, haunted home? Comedy, romance, and adventure are all on the docket for this delightful send up of the beloved franchise, as well as topical humor, torn from today’s headlines.

“Adams Family Reunion: A Series of FUNfortunate Events!”

“Adams Family Reunion: A Series of FUNfortunate Events!” runs Aug 29th through Nov 9th, 2019. The evening also includes one of Desert Star’s side-splitting musical olios, following the show. The “Spooktacular Olio” features hit songs and musical steps that are catchy enough to raise the dead, mixed with more of Desert Star’s signature comedy.

ou may have heard the name, but not what they do. Salt Lake Valley’s Habitat for Humanity began in 1986 and is quickly approaching 100 homes built in the Salt Lake Valley. In the Taylorsville area, over 350 people have enjoyed owning a Habitat home. These families are “paying it forward” each time they make a 0% interest mortgage payment. The money is placed in an account used to finance building future homes for Habitat families. In 2012, Salt Lake Valley Habitat established the Neighborhood Revitalization Program which seeks to eliminate sub-standard housing along the Wasatch Front. Over 90 critical repairs to existing homes have been completed — many of these homes were threatening the health and welfare of children and seniors.

During September’s city council meeting, District 3’s Representative Cheri Jackson brought up Habitat for Humanity. They are seeking referrals for eligible women, men and seniors that may benefit from their group projects. Jackson spoke with Ed Blake, Habitat for Humanity’s executive director. They conversed about what had been done so far in Taylorsville and the desire to do more in Millcreek’s community.

“What’s really neat about the suggestions they’re seeking is outside of entire homes, they are also looking for situations that would warrant some rehab work. Women, men or elderly that are good citizens, they just aren’t in a situation to repair that roof, or fix that bathroom.” If they are referred to Habitat for Humanity, it may become possible for groups to come together and do it.

“Keep in mind,” Jackson said, “these suggested referrals can also include people in a rental property; perhaps they have a landlord

unwilling to help with work that is needed.”

Habitat for Humanity funds these projects in a variety of ways. Sometimes they’ll accept partial payment, with added help from other religions or groups. These partial payments provide a way for someone to get the work done they might otherwise not receive.

If you have anyone in mind, Habitat for Humanity is looking for referrals. This allows them to avoid situations where people may try to take advantage of this valuable service.

Referrals can come from a friend, family or even a church leader.

If you would like to learn more about how you could donate time, money or resources, Habitat for Humanity is always looking for volunteers. Please contact Salt Lake Valley Habitat for Humanity at 1276 S. 500 West, (801) 2630136 or habitat@habitatsaltlake.com.

Habitat homes are affordable to families with low incomes, the houses are modest, built largely by volunteers and the families themselves, and are sold at no-profit with a no-interest mortgage. (Photo courtesy Habitat for Humanity)

t’s pumpkin spice season, witches!

First and foremost, let’s talk about the coffee. Of course, Starbucks has their pumpkin spice drinks, but they’re mixing it up this year with the Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew. 7-11 has provided pumpkin flavors for their coffees. Dunkin’ Donuts rolls out their new Cinnamon Sugar Pumpkin Latte (complete with apple cider doughnuts). But, of course, if you’re looking to save money and not spend $5 on a specialty coffee, there’s the good ol’ trusty Coffee Mate with their seasonal pumpkin spice flavor.

We like shopping local here though, so here’s the neighborhood options: Alpha Coffee has a Pumpkin Spice Latte and a Pumpkin Nice Latte; Java Jo’s has their Pumpkin Dirty Chai, Pumpkin Pie Latte, Caramel Apple Cider, and vegan pumpkin spice lattes; Clever Bean has a Pumpkin Spice tea, along with a White Ambrosia tea; and Beans & Brews has their Pumpkin Pie Fritalia and Cinnamon Bun Latte.

Other food companies hopping aboard the pumpkin spice train include: Auntie Anne’s with their spice pretzel nuggets; Corner Bakery with their maple pecan pumpkin baby bundt cakes; Culver’s with a pumpkin pecan frozen custard; Baskin-Robbins with a pumpkin cheesecake ice cream; Cracker Barrel with their pumpkin pie coffee and whipped cream; Dairy Queen with a pumpkin pie blizzard; Denny’s with their pumpkin

pancakes; Einstein Bros. with their pumpkin bagels and shmear; Krispy Kreme with their pumpkin spice filled doughnut; Panera with their apple pie thumbprint cookies; and Mimi’s Café with their pumpkin harvest griddlecakes.

Grocery stories usually make pumpkin spice shopping easy. When I walked into Target the other day, there was an entire section devoted to pumpkin spice products. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, you might try pumpkin spice biscotti ($2), Kit-Kats ($4), Complete cookies ($3), Milano cookies ($3), hot chocolate (Stephen’s is $10 for 13 servings), or pumpkin spice rolls from Pillsbury ($2-$8). If your coffee needs a pumpkin spice sidekick, you can choose from pumpkin spice Cheerios ($6) Quaker Instant Oatmeal ($10), Special K ($3), Frosted MiniWheats ($3), Pop Tarts ($4), English muffins ($5), and cinnamon rolls ($10-$25). Finally, if you’re feeling a little spicy, there’s always almonds (Blue Diamond Almonds are $6), pumpkin salsa ($8-$32), and pumpkin ale ($12 on average).

What would pumpkin spice season be without the question, “Have we gone too far?” These products might be pushing the boundary. There’s ginger pumpkin seed gouda cheese ($30-ish), mochi ice cream ($10), pumpkin spice blondie brownie brittle ($5), Smashmallows ($10), creamed honey ($11), Blackberry Patch pumpkin spice syrup ($8),

peanut butter ($12-$34), cocktail mix ($19), and Spam ($3). Yes, Spam is new this year.

For just the pumpkin aroma, there’s non-edibles like candles, aerosols, lotions, body moisturizer, shampoo, lip balm, aftershave, deodorant and soaps.

And yes, there’s even dog treats ($9$15).

If you’re a pumpkin spice lover, but don’t want to spend money on all the seasonal products listed above, just grab some cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves, and ground ginger. Mix 3-4 teaspoons of cinnamon, 2 teaspoons of ground ginger, 1 teaspoon of ground cloves and 1-2 teaspoon of ground nutmeg together (with 1.5 teaspoons of allspice if desired). You’ll have some pumpkin spice to sprinkle on any edible item. This option might even taste better than some of the assemblages that can pass for pumpkin spice.

Pro-tip for making pumpkin spice: If you want a more subtle flavor for treats, go for a Ceylon cinnamon. If you want a spicier pumpkin spice, go for the cassia cinnamon.

Now, how’s all that for your autumn pumpkin spice pleasure?

e all know Halloween is funded by Big Dental to create more cavities but it’s also true that Halloween traditions started long before lobbyists destroyed the planet.

Black cats, pumpkins and ghosts existed at least 50 years ago, and probably longer.

So how did Halloween customs get started? Lucky for you, I researched this topic on the Internet contraption.

Did you know Bobbing for Apples was actually a dating game in ancient Rome?

Kind of like Tinder, only with more drowning. My elementary school did a dry version called Bobbing for Marbles. Teachers filled a plastic pool with flour and mixed in a few dozen marbles. We had to use our mouths to find the marbles. The two most likely outcomes were a) Inhale flour and die or b) Inhale a marble and die. Not even joking here.

Jack-o’-lanterns have a weird backstory that involves a guy named Stingy Jack, the devil and wandering spirits. I guess ghosts are afraid of gourds and root vegetables.

Who knew? Originally they used turnips, not pumpkins, but who’s ever heard of a turnip spice latte? So they had to start using pumpkins.

Black cats became associated with Halloween because witches have black cats.

Duh. Costumes date back to Biblical times when Jacob dressed up as his brother to trick his blind father into giving him keys to the donkey. It was also the first trick-or-treat on record.

When I was a kid, costumes included plastic masks, made from asbestos and glue, that would slowly asphyxiate you if you didn’t walk into a ditch first because you couldn’t see s*** through the pinpoint eyeholes.

Bats get a bad reputation. They’re not inherently evil, except for vampire bats that turn into the bloodsucking undead to hunt humans for food and eternal life. But originally, people would sit around bonfires (the 1780’s bug zapper), wishing for things like penicillin and electricity. The fires would attract insects and the insects attracted bats and people freaked out. As we are wont to do.

Handing out candy has several origin stories, including buying off zombies with snacks, bribing the dead, and kids going from house to house asking families for dinner because they didn’t want to eat what their mom had spent hours making for them because they’re ungrateful little . . .

Anyhoo.

Treats handed out to children have also evolved. It’s gone from apples and boiled carrots (boo) to king-size Butterfinger bars (hooray!).

Here’s what my Halloween bag contained when I was a kid: 8 dozen rolls of Smarties, 17 types of rock-hard bubble gum, 38 Bit-O-Honeys, 422 Pixie sticks, 25 pounds of salt water taffy, 14 spider rings and one mini Snickers bars. It was the ‘70s.

Don’t judge.

One element of Halloween remained a mystery to me. When did we think dressing dogs in tutus was a good idea? I assumed the whole pet costume fiasco was started by rich, white girls with too much time and money.

Turns out, in the 19th century, dog costumery was a thing - with the animal fashion industry churning out traveling cloaks, silk jackets, tea gowns and . . . wait for it . . . dog bikinis.

What Halloween traditions do you observe? Knife throwing? Handing out real goldfish to trick-or-treaters? You never know what your customs will become centuries from now.

Whatever you do, don’t sell your candy to a dentist. Big Dental just sells it back to grocery stores to reuse for the next Halloween.
