For a home valued at $653,000, homeowners will experience an increase from $498.86 to $521.84 annually in prop erty taxes. Businesses (which are subject to a higher tax rate than residences) will see their yearly property taxes increase from $907.02 to $948.81 on a property valued at $653,000.
The hearing came together in advance of a proposed 4.57% increase in property tax es for Millcreek residents. After opening up the floor to public comment on the issue, all five council members voted to approve the ordinance.

PROPERTY TAXES
On Aug. 8, the Millcreek City Council and members of the public convened for the city’s state-mandated truth in taxation hear ing. This process, established by the Utah State Legislature, requires city and county governments who want to raise taxes to host a public hearing and provide advance notice to taxpayers before voting on the issue.
By Sara Milano | s.milano@mycityjournals.com
The hearing began with a presenta tion from the city’s Finance Director Laurie Johnson. Johnson detailed the changes to Millcreek’s budget and described how city officials arrived at the decision to raise prop erty taxes. She described the council’s goal to “keep this as low as we possibly can and still keep the city in good financial shape.”
The tax increases were devised as a way for the city to afford Millcreek’s $15.3-mil lion contract with the Unified Police Depart ment, the cost of which has increased 19.5% from the previous year. The majority of the $3 million increase is for compensation for officers in the form of an annualized pay raise.Millcreek will come up with the $15 mil lion for UPD’s contract using a hybrid source of property taxes, energy sales and use tax, and general fund balance (the city’s “rainy day fund” from budgeting). If the city’s pro jections for tax revenues hold up, they esti mate “maybe a 3% increase in property taxes to keep everything going” will be necessary for the following year. Mayor Jeff Silvestrini sympathized with residents, stating, “We aren’t happy about it Millcreek City Council approved a tax increase to help fund the police budget.

“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 opportunity to develop spatial awareness.”
Many hours of practice are required to build a success ful football program. Skyline High School is no exception. Many predicted 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 required 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 Eagles playing some of the best teams in the state at the 5A level. “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.”
Due to recent lightning delays, the Skyline Eagles have had to display some creativity to have a successful prac tice. 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.
The tallest receiver on the team is Miles Hall. His ath leticism has also drawn attention from recruiters from many colleges. He is a three star, 6-foot-2, 195-pound athlete with offers from BYU and Utah State according 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 really helps.”

For Wright, a receiver, this marks his first season play ing at this new position. The new faces haunting the backfield will add a new dynamic that should result in some success.

That spread offense led the team to a solid winning sea son 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.
“Our roster is similar to last year,” Rowbotham said. “We have talented receivers, running backs and offensive line. We can run and throw the ball effectively as well.”

That goal started not long after the 2021 season end ed last fall. Rowbotham made an effort to keep his players working out while being respectful of the multisport athletes in his program. “In January they are in a football type class open to all athletes,” Rowbotham said. “I am a huge advocate for mul tisport athletes. 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 apply what they learn to their football game.”
“We learn from each week by experience,” Rowbotham said. “At the end of each game there are lessons that help you become better. Our kids do their best work and the out come 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
The receivers are a particular position group that Row botham wanted to highlight. 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 foot ball program.Grantisa 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.

“I am quick and have good hands,” Wright said. “I start ed at the cornerback position last year. I only was in a couple plays on offense last year. The decision was mutual 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 ev eryone is going full speed. Our goal is to win a state cham pionship.”
“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 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.

Hershel asked the council to explore alternatives to policing, suggesting imple menting a citizen response team of unarmed specialists who respond to mental health incidents. According to Hershel, these in cidents that involve people experiencing homelessness or non-violent mental health matters make up about 30% of the calls po lice respond to. When armed police officers without training in mental health crises re spond to these calls, the situation can esca late and turn violent quickly, he said. The increased property tax will likely create an unequal financial burden for firsttime homeowners or small businesses, who are already adjusting to the increasing cost of living in Utah. Whether or not residents agree that funding police is the modality of choice for combatting public safety threats, Millcreek in coming years will be forced to reckon with the region’s booming popu lation and the robust debate on these issues that is sure to follow.
However, Watson implored council members to find another way to raise funds.

Lake valley gears up for a new era of pervasive 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 re mote work, and new environmental challeng es may also force workers to shift away from commuting and in-person work. The city is also considering transitioning its fleet vehicles to electric or hybrid alternatives and centering “active transportation” methods. Active trans portation includes walking, cycling, scooters and more and is facilitated by making side walks and bike lanes more accessible. Waste management efforts include host ing community recycling events for items that cannot be processed by curbside disposal ser vice. The Wasatch Front Waste and Recycling District also holds an event for such materials every fall.
“There have to be some cuts someplace, something has to give. We are in a recession, it’s going to get worse, prices are going to go up, this is just the first of many efforts that are going to have to be made to balance a budget,” he said. One other potential solution raised was to cut the number of police officers working in Millcreek. The current contract includes salaries for 61 officers. Some argue that Millcreek, which has a population of just over 60,000 people, does not need this many full-time officers, especially given the fact that crime in the greater Salt Lake region has decreased.Onesuch resident, Eric Hershel, stood up to voice his opposition to Millcreek’s in creased investment in armed police officers.
The other energy initiative out lines 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 quar ters of Utah’s water use goes toward irrigation of commercial crops and agriculture. The Ac tion Plan creates incentives for residents to move toward xeriscaping in yards and away from traditional grass. Millcreek City hopes to set an example for its residents by introducing “water-wise design” to its parks and public spaces.Development priorities outlined in the Action Plan deal mainly with construction and materials in the new Millcreek Commons plaza. The document “encourages the use of quality construction techniques and durable materials, including recycled and sustain ably-sourced materials when feasible.” The plaza and new city hall building present an opportunity to model sustainable development for future construction projects in Millcreek and beyond.AstheSalt
He explained that after struggling to re cruit police officers last year, Salt Lake City began offering a signing bonus and pay in crease for new officers. This caused a jump in regional police salaries that all but forced UPD to adapt to wage increases.
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 edu cate and engage the community, members of which often want to be involved in sustainabil ity efforts but do not know how. The document notes how “daunting, obtuse and overwhelm ing” the topic of sustainability can be for some, but ultimately recognizes that plans which engage the community are more effective than those that do not. Millcreek’s quality of life is increased exponentially by its access to natu ral spaces, and the community’s imperative to protect these beautiful places is not just a moral one, but biological as well.

Millcreek updates sustainability priorities in interlocal agreement
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 initia tive in 2021 as a cooperative agreement with Cottonwood Heights and Holladay to establish a document to “make regular recommenda tions on specific sustainability priorities for each Prioritiescommunity.”for2022 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, transportation, waste management and com munityTheoutreach.energy priorities for Millcreek, Hol laday and Cottonwood Heights include con tinued participation in the Utah Community Renewable Energy Program, a piece of 2019 state legislation that “allows eligible local gov ernments to procure net-100% renewable elec tricity by 2030 on behalf of their residents and businesses.”
Hershel clarified that he was “not opposed to the increased property tax nor for that mat ter [is he] opposed to police officers being paid a fair wage,” but that he was “not in fa vor of such a heavy reliance on police for a community that does not have serious crime problems, despite what you may hear.”
Several residents commented on the matter, many of whom supported the in crease in UPD’s budget and officer salaries. Millcreek resident Dennis Watson reiterated the importance of public safety, saying, “If we are not safe, nothing else matters.”

Ob orn, who serves as the program coordinator for food pantries at the Granite Education Foundation, joined Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church pastor Weier and Millcreek principal Clayton to answer questions and lead a tour of the facility. The three women have been instrumental in ensuring the successful oper ation of the Mustang pantry. Weier, who was the first to address the crowd, began her speech by presenting a sobering statistic. According to an August 2022 article in the New York Times, food pantry use is up 65% across the nation, while donations are down by 50%.
During the summer, the city of Millcreek and its many churches, organizations and scholastic institutions hosted a variety of successful summer food pantries and drives. These efforts were particularly important as summer is historically the most unstable season for children facing food insecurity.
“(We must talk about) the need to feed our kids. Because we know, with inflation on the rise, with gas going up, and with hous ing skyrocketing, families are struggling. Working families are struggling. Families who have every possible adult working need help. Families who have never before need ed help. Now more than ever, they need us,” Weier said. Principal Clayton touched on the im portance of championing programs like the Mustang pantry and reframing how we look at the purpose of education. Rather than view education as a measurable metric of hours spent in a classroom, education should be holistically focused, and that begins by ensuring the basic needs of children are met.
“One of the things that we can do now, is to come together as a community,” Weier said. “Pope Francis said this beautiful thing: That you pray for the hungry and then you feed them. That’s how prayer works.” As she continued her address, Weier put an emphasis on the importance of combat ting hunger at the community level, drawing special attention to the children of Utah, who represent the economic and social future.
“There are enough things that (families) have to deal with in order to meet their basic needs and lots of our families are refugees who are still learning the ropes. So, in or der to use the pantry, all they need to do is come see us, and then, fill out a simple Goo gle form. There are no qualifiers other than they must be in the Granite School District boundaries and have at least one child en rolled in the district,” Oborn said. The pantry itself is modest but stocked with a variety of staple foods. Because sev eral of the families who utilize the pantry are refugees when sourcing food it was import ant for coordinators to provide options that these families would be familiar working with. “To you and I, this might just be a sim ple box of macaroni and cheese, but for a family in need? This feeds three children and is a meal they don’t have to worry about,”

“(Millcreek Elementary School) has been here since the 1950s. In 2022, we’ve had to expand our definition of what school ing looks like,” Clayton said. “We’ve had to come together for the sake of our kids.” Oborn, who addressed the audience last, is no stranger to running food drives.
Moreover, her position at the Granite Edu cation Foundation as program coordinator of food pantries has made her a vital asset in overseeing the Mustang food pantry. Oborn intimately understands hunger and how it manifests if left ignored.

While the community of Millcreek did an exceptional job in hosting these drives, un precedented circumstances like inflation and the long-term economic effects of Covid-19 have made the continuous operation of food pantries a Whilenecessity.manypop-up food pantries are entering a temporary hiatus until next sum mer, the Mustang Food Pantry and Resource Center, an on-site food pantry that operates at Millcreek Elementary School, is gearing up for the new academic year. The pantry, a brainchild of those at the elementary school, Granite School District, and the Granite Kids Foundation, is successfully feeding children and families of the district. On Aug. 10, local media was on-site in addition to various employees from Utah congressional offices, to tour the facility and learn more about how it functions and op erates. Millcreek Mayor Jeff Silvestrini was also present, mainly as an observer, how ever, he did express strong approval for the Millcreek-based initiative.
M illcreek c ity J ournalPage 6 | S e P t . 2022
“Every community relies on great cre ators, and (those operating the Mustang pan try) have been champions for the communi ty,” Silvestrini said. “I’d like to thank them for their good work and the city government supports these efforts. Kids are the future of our state, and we can fix so many of our problems, so many of them if children are fed, come to school and graduate.” Several of the creators who Silves trini referred to were present at the meet and greet. Among them were Kim Oborn, Brigette Weier, and Amber Clayton.
“We are here to focus on the basic needs of our students,” she said. “Therefore, one of our primary goals has to be to remove learning barriers. If we can keep (students) fed, we can keep them happy. If we can keep them happy, they can focus on their goals and academics.”
ClaytonOnesaid.audience member asked about how members of the community can get involved. “For this specific pantry, we source most of our foods from the LDS Church and the Utah Food Bank. But, there are all kinds of pantries and organizations across the county and in each community that can use your help. Here in Millcreek, we’re cur rently looking for volunteers to help us make 15,000 meal kits in September,” Oborn said. There is at least one food that’s not in short supply, and Oborn concluded her call to action with a lighthearted comment. “One thing that we don’t need, and I’ll say this till I’m blue in the face. We don’t need any more green beans,” Oborn joked, gesturing to a massive stockpile of green beans, far outweighing any other food in the pantry. “If you want your food to actually get eaten, to really make a difference, donate something else,” she said. “(Green beans) will sit on that shelf gathering dust.” l

Following the speeches, the audience was then invited to tour the Mustang Pantry and Resource Center. The pantry sits direct ly across from the main building. The con venient location is by design, as one of the goals of creating the pantry was to make it as accessible as possible to those who need it.

New after-school program hopes to change the course of children’s lives
By Sara Milano | s.milano@mycityjournals.com
The Holladay Hills apartment complex is an affordable housing project in Millcreek at 3690 S. Highland Drive. The apartments provide a low-cost alternative for many families who are experiencing housing insecurity and are the recipi ents of Section 8 housing vouchers administered by the Unit ed States Department of Housing and Urban Development. Online reviews of the Holladay Hills complex reflect issues that affect children living in the apartments, with one saying, “the kid’s playground is broken, the buildings are shifting and falling apart.”
M illcreek c ity J ournalPage 8 | S e P t . 2022
The organization has run their own after-school pro gram out of their 3900 South location for a number of years now, but this grant will fund a new program out of a state office building that is directly south of the Holladay Hills apartments.TheAsian Association of Utah serves refugees and im migrants and supports their “transition to life in the Unit ed States.” While the Asian population in Millcreek hovers around 4.5%, the association serves a broad group of im migrants, with the most common countries of origin being Somalia, Iraq, Myanmar and Uganda. The organization was founded in 1977 as a way to support refugees from Vietnam, Japan, China, Cambodia and Korea who had been resettled in the United States but lacked community support and re sources.
The mayor explained that the apartments have been the subject of “innumerable police calls for shootings, stabbings, [and] drug use” in the area. He identified “a number of unattended kids in this community that really would benefit from…an after-school program that will enable them to be competitive with their peers…and es cape an intergenerational poverty cycle.”
The $22,000 grant will not cost Millcreek taxpayers any money as the funds are derived from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, better known as the COVID-19 stimulus package. The initial investment will establish the program with the Asian Association of Utah in the hopes the city can later procure grant money to keep funding it should they deem it a success.
The grant money reflects Millcreek’s latest attempt to invest in low-income housing and programming for resi dents. Like many cities in the valley, Millcreek is experienc ing a high rate of population growth. With this growth often comes a shortage of affordable rentals for longtime and new residents alike. These challenges are further compounded for immigrants who may not speak English as a first language or who have families abroad that they support financially.
The Millcreek City Council approved a $22,000 grant to support an after-school program for residents of the Holladay Hills apartment complex at their Aug. 8 meeting. The grant money will be given to the Asian Association of Utah with the intention of establishing a program for children living in the apartment complex to “augment their education and keep them out of trouble,” said Mayor Jeff Silvestrini.

In preparation for the Hawaii insti tute, Cline developed a Silent Hero profile to be published online during the 2022-23 academic year at NHDSilentHeroes.org as part of the Sacrifice for Freedom program. Cline selected Ivan LeRoy Bills, a River ton resident who died at sea at age 18, for his project.Clinehas connected with Bills’ fami ly and learned that Bills was awarded the Purple Heart and Navy Silver Star and that the family had never received those recog nitions.

We had so many fun adventures, and the island was beautiful,” Cline said. “Having worked with the project for so long and learning about Bills’ story and finally being able to see where he was me morialized and speak about him was an unreal experience.” The pair were also able to tour the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA). The DPAA is an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense, and its mission is to recover American military personnel listed as prisoners of war or missing in action from designated past conflicts, from countries around the world. The agency’s team travels around the world using forensics and DNA to identi fy human remains. Reay said they learned that the agency identifies 200 service per sonnel every year. Cline said it was hard to learn that ac cording to U.S. Navy policy, military lost at sea are never recovered. “The ocean is their final burial ground and knowing they would never be recovered really human ized the war,” Cline said. “War has people in it that are not just the people in the his tory books. It’s individual people.”

While the organizations present at the event play a key role in helping refugees get established, most volunteers agree that the long-term success of refugees in the com munity hinges on those individuals feeling like they’re supported and welcome. It might not always seem like refugees make up a sig nificant portion of our population, however, the actual numbers denote a sizable percent age. Refugee night further drives home the urgent need for community, especially in certain cultures where a strong and fortified network is crucial.

“The overall message is of belonging, and they do belong,” the volunteer further explained. “America is a country built on the backs of immigrants, and to this day that re mains true.” l
“It’s so vitally important for refugees in our community to feel like they belong. And they do belong. It might not seem so in dayto-day life when you’re walking down a Salt Lake City street but look at events like this where there are hundreds and hundreds of people present. This community is not only here, but they belong here. And that’s why refugee night is so important because it helps (families) know that they are both included and celebrated,” said a volunteer who was passing out free pizza. Following the indoor portion of refugee night, students and families were ushered outside to enjoy the carnival where children could take pictures with actors dressed as Marvel movie characters, play games and navigate bouncy houses. Various food op tions included complimentary pizza and doit-yourself snow cones. As the night came to an end, even the incoming rainstorm couldn’t deter the high-spirited atmosphere. Events like refu gee night are pertinent to creating an envi ronment where refugees can connect, not just with one another, but with the commu nity at large. Especially considering many of these refugees are fleeing nations where there is the constant looming threat of vio lence. According to Utah Refugee Connec tion, over 1,000 people attended refugee nights throughout the 2021, making these events pivotal for providing resources and camaraderie.“Theseare our neighbors, your neigh bors,” Lewis said, “and there are so many ways to get involved, volunteering for one. Even just getting to know more about refu gees in the state of Utah is helpful.”
There are currently over 65,000 refugees living in Utah today. They come from over 40-plus coun tries and speak 20-plus languages. (Lizzie Walje/ City Journals)
Granite School District in collaboration with Utah Refugee Connection hosted Refugee Night at Granite Park Jr. High School. (Lizzie Walje/City Journals)
On a hot yet rainy evening in early Au gust, families of refugee students, and stu dents themselves, gathered at Granite Park Junior High School to partake in the night’s activities. Students and families were first prompted to enter the school’s gymnasium where a series of booths offered information and resources regarding everything from En glish courses to food pantry locations. At one booth sat Tim Lewis, who was there on behalf of the Asian Association of Utah. Lewis and his fellow volunteer spoke highly of working with refugees saying, “There are a lot of great kids that (we) work with. So much of what we do is about finding out directly from (the refugees) how we can support their transitions. Even a seemingly small gesture can make a lasting impact.”
The challenges that refugee children face can often feel insurmountable. Especially when you consider that these children are tasked with learning about school both culturally and academically. Nevertheless, there are a growing number of resources available to refugees, which is one of the many reasons Granite School District continues to host its annual refugee night for incoming students and their families.
One such small gesture was the free backpack giveaway, designed to help allevi ate purchasing school supplies. Children ex citedly shuffled through multiple backpacks as they were prompted to pick one that they liked with their favorite color or design. The kids excitedly pranced around the grounds with backpacks of all hues.
Granite School District’s refugee night combines philanthropy and fun
As of 2022, Utah Refugee Connection reports there are approximately 65,000 refu gees living in Utah. Each year the president sets a ceiling for refugee admission. This ceiling is created after the president spends time consulting Congress and the United Nations, in addition to reviewing informa tion provided by world refugee relief orga nizations. Since 2002, the ceiling has been set at a consistent 70,000 per year. However, the ceiling was changed for the first time in 2017, after the Trump administration cut the number down to approximately 23,000. The refugee population in Utah is di verse, as our population of refugees come from 40-plus countries and speak 20-plus languages. For the past decade, Utah has welcomed over 1,000 refugees each year. However, following the ceiling drop in 2017, that number dwindled to 300. The largest groups of refugees in Utah come from Iraq, Bosnia, Somalia and Sudan. All refugees will experience some de gree of culture shock, regardless of where they are coming from. For certain individuals even daily activities like bathing, retrieving water, and using electricity are profoundly different. To help alleviate stress and pro mote a healthy transition, refugees rely on our established communities for guidance, acceptance and patience. For those looking to get involved and volunteer, there are many ways to do so. Utah Refugee Connection recommends con tacting their offices, or other organizations like the Asian Association, International Rescue Committee, and Catholic Communi ty Services. From there, these organizations can assist you in finding the right program.

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.
Depression breeds in isolation, so physical interaction is a big part of Continue Mission.
By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com
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.” Visit ContinueMission.org for more in formation or to make a donation. l
Healing program allows vets to Continue Mission
Hansen and his wife, Melissa, founded Continue Mission in 2014, to provide a pro cess to help veterans dealing with trauma.
“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.”
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.
According to the 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 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.”
“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.”
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 rewarding.”

Avid sports fan loves reporting on Skyline Eagles and other teams
In Partnership with Physician Owners. Editor’s note: this series highlights the writers behind the stories found here every month.
A s a young kid, Daniel Olsen was interested in Disney movies and rehearsing them as if he were a Hollywood director. He didn’t get into sports until he saw “Space Jam” in 1996. While he wouldn’t get on Michael Jordan’s or even Daffy Duck’s level, he learned some valuable lessons that would prepare him for a life where he was deeply involved in athletics. Olsen had breathing problems when he was younger and as a result, struggled to even finish his sentenc es due to his low lung capacity. Luckily, his dad who had qualified for the Boston Marathon a few years prior, took him out for easy runs around the neighborhood to strengthen him. After a few more years and moving to Utah to train on difficult hilly runs at elevation, Olsen was able to run some faster times. He ran his first half marathon at age 10 and won a state USATF title in the 3000 meter distance. He was also captain of his cross country team in his senior year at Logan High School. After high school, Olsen took a break from running and served a two-year Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints mission in southern Chile. He returned to attend Utah State University and majored in management in formation systems with a minor in Spanish. While he has done computers for his full-time profession, his main passion is sports and his ultimate dream is to combine his major with sports. There are many data analytics computer tools that top sports organizations use, and Olsen would love nothing more than to find answers to business questions that these teams have, similar to the movie “Moneyball.”

Olsen still enjoys running at age 32 and his new goal is to complete 40 half marathons before age 40. He will complete his 30th lifetime half marathon this year. He has also become an avid fan of all sports teams in the Beehive State. He mainly covers the Skyline Eagles as well as other local sports stories in the Millcreek Journal, part of the City Journals organization. He also has his own sports website, Thehivesports.com, where he covers Utah teams at the high school, collegiate and professional level. He also oversees a team of interns that help him with several podcasts, articles, and social media under The Hive Sports Network.

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.”
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.
“It was an older building, and the rent was really reason able,” Whitmore said of the space that was torn down.
But the perks come at a price.

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.
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.
“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
M illcreek c ity J ournalPage 14 | S e P t . 2022 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.
A business called Modern Display was also located on 700 East in downtown Salt Lake City and moved this year. 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.
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 Village. Copperhive’s new storefront, 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.
After relocating to Salt Lake City, Whitmore began selling some of the items she’d collected at the Urban Flea Market.
“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.”
“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.”
Shop in the suburbs: Small businesses move south as downtown rents go up

“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.
“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.
“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.”
“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.

Chelsea Roberts was 8 years old when her mother was diag nosed with Huntington’s disease. 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 away. “It 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. Roberts, who was recently crowned Mrs. Utah Earth 2022, serves as the vice president for the HDSA’s Utah chapter and encourages families, friends and community members to walk together to help improve the lives of people affected by Hun tington’s“There’sdisease.lots of research into medicine that will hinder or stop the progression of the disease. Lots of research in the UK yielded some great results,” Roberts said. “It’s in the group of Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis, as a neurological disorder, so once we get one of those, it will be amazing.”

“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.”“Istarted playing in Brazil when I was 12 years old,” one of the club organizers Andre Rammi said. “Our practices are open, anyone can come and join. We want people to un derstand the game. We have several that have never played before.”
“I was attending college at Auburn and a friend of mine introduced me to the game,” Massif Handball SLC member Patrick 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.”

“Some of my friends are from different countries. It is a new game here, but in other countries, they teach it in schools. The game is very popular in Europe. That is why they always win. There is also beach handball. It has differ ent rules,” Broadhead said.
“This is a game that can help you develop new skills and improve your athleticism. 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 learning to play,” Halladay said. For more information visit the team's Facebook page Massif Handball SLC. l

You can’t always lie down in bed and sleep. Heartburn, cardiac problems, hip or back aches and dozens of other ailments and worries.

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.”

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? 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. 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.
