Sterling Furniture (1100 East 2051 South)

Did you know that Sugar House used to be known as the Furniture Center of the West? At one point the neighborhood had 21 stores and the stores would hold an annual Home Furnishings Fashion Show. Today most of the stores are closed but one that remains is Sterling Furniture, which also happens to be Utah’s oldest furniture store. The store opened in 1941 but before that was a bank and owned by the Rockwood family who owned Granite Furniture.

Today though the business of Sterling Furniture still stands and has been a Sugar House icon for years. Most long-time residents will tell you that they bought their first couch there, and even though the area around it has changed the business still stands as a reminder of old Sugar House.

Tiffany Watts: I’m thankful for a lot of things, but these are a few that stick out in my mind that I will share. The first one has to be my husband. I have been married to him for four years this December, which for many won’t seem very long, but for me, I can’t imagine my life without him. Before I met Daniel I didn’t truly know how much I could love someone and on top of that now much love I could be given in return. I am especially thankful for my parents and the loving guidance they have shown me. Also who doesn’t love travel? For me there is one place above all the rest that I am most happy and that is Disneyland!

Brickyard Plaza (1140 Brickyard Rd) Believe it or not, Brickyard Plaza just below 1300 East is considered part of Sugar House. When you visit the area it’s loaded with clothing stores, a gym and an office supply store, but before all that was there, there was an actual brickyard. The only thing remaining is the giant kiln chimney. John P. Cahoon was originally making his bricks in the Murray area, but as demand started to grow he needed to move. His company moved to the Brickyard Plaza area in 1891, creating the Salt Lake Pressed Brick Co. The spot was ideal because of the amount of clay deposit in the area, as well as the railroad line. The kiln chimney was built in 1902 is the only reaming part of the brickyard and is called the Smith Kiln Chimney. In 1972 the plant was shut down and dismantled, only leaving the kiln. The brick operation is now in West Jordan.

Gregg Dikes: I am thankful for my kids and my engines.

Elise Rusk: I’m thankful for so many things!

My family comes to mind first including my parents and siblings, my husband Dave and my fantastic in-laws. I’m thankful for our dog Skyler and being able to take her on walks and runs each day in a safe beautiful place. I should also mention pebble ice, Pokémon GO and the smell of lavender.

U.S. leaders step in to help Josh Holt

By Natalie Mollinet| natalie@mycityjournals.com

A

few months ago we introduced you to Josh Holt, a man from Riverton who’s been in prison in Venezuela under false pretenses. On October 11, Holt was supposed to have a second hearing in court, unfortunately, the judge missed the hearing. This is the second time the judge has failed to show up.

Holt’s family here in Sugar House and around the valley have been looking for help from officials in the United States government, and after hearing of their struggles Utah Senator Orrin Hatch has stepped into help. Hatch has recruited the help of Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry.

“I’ve been working closely together with Vice President Biden and Secretary Kerry to ensure that Josh’s case is brought to a swift resolution,” Hatch said in a YouTube video press release just days before the second failed hearing. “And while I haven’t been able to share much publicly of what’s going on behind the scenes, recent developments have given me reasons to feel optimistic.”

Holt went down to Venezuela after meeting his soon-to-bewife online. They two met in the Dominican Republic and fell in love. After proposing, Holt flew back to the United States to get his visa, then flew to Venezuela where he married his wife. Shortly after they were married, police barged into their home believing Holt was an American spy.

“We believe they planted guns and grenades that they so called ‘found’ in the apartment,” Mindy Jones, his aunt, said. “His bail was set at $100,000 in cash.”

Since June, Holt has been in a Venezuelan prison where his family says is health is deteriorating.

“It breaks my heart to see Josh Holt held as a political prisoner and denied a hearing for so long,” Utah Representative Mia Love said in a press release. The House recently passed a resolution called H. Res 851 that could help Holt in his current situation.

According to the press release the resolution, “…Expresses profound concern about the political, economic and humanitarian crisis in Venezuela.” The resolution also calls for the release of political prisoners, which includes Holt.

According to Jones, the biggest upset for the family right now is this missed trial. Holt still hasn’t had contact with his mother and vice versa. Holt’s family in the U.S. only has contact with the lawyers that are trying to help Josh. The family though is happy that the U.S. government has heard their plea for help.

“It’s great having their support and letting others know to not go into that country,” Jones said. “But Josh is still in prison.”

Jones didn’t have details about the treatment of Holt while in prison but according to different sources it is not fair and very demeaning, and with Holt’s health deteriorating, the family and U.S. government are trying to push the process. As of now there isn’t another court date set, but the family first has to pray and hope that the judge decides to show up.

“Help spread the word,” Jones said regarding how the community can help.

“I believe we will see justice for Josh,” Hatch said, “and I believe we will see it soon.” l

Dodo 5K runners race to support trail link

By Natalie Mollinet| natalie@mycityjournals.com

O

n Oct. 1, runners around the valley tied up their shoelaces and made their way to Sugar House Park for the 5th-annual Dodo Dash sponsored by The Dodo Restaurant and the PRATT Coalition. The proceeds from the race went towards the PRATT Coalition, a project that is helping connect the Bonneville Shoreline Trail to the Jordan River Parkway Trail.

In years past, the run has usually sponsored the “stomp out hunger” campaign that supports the Utah Food Bank, but this year they decided to change directions.

“We decided to change directions a bit last year and again this year by dedicating the proceeds directly to the Parley’s Trail that runs through Sugarhouse Park,” Stacey Deittman, marketing director for The Dodo Restaurant, said, “We wanted to give back

to the running community and thought the trail would be a great way to do that. We also hold a special place in our hearts for the park as we are directly across the street.”

This year the run hosted around 55 runners, an increase from last year. The run went around Sugar House Park, which is already a part of Parley’s Trail. The park connects with the trail just underneath 1300 East to Hidden Hollow where it will soon connect with a trail that runs down Sugarmont Drive. The trail has been a big project in Salt Lake City and is continuing to add and connect trails to different parts of the city.

“We are really happy to support the PRATT Coalition,” Deittman said. “We feel that community trails in our city are important for connectivity, health, wellness, and serve as a

Those who participated in the race and fun run included adults and kids of all abilities. Before the race, kids warmed up with lifestyle coach Angle Martindale by running in place and doing stretches.

“Each kid got a medal for competing,” Deittman said. “We also had radio station NOW 97.9 there to play some fun jams to get the energy going, along with fresh coffee from Rimini.”

“The PRATT Coalition has been working over 15 years on this project and millions of dollars are needed to complete these awesome trails,” Deittman said. “Any part we can do to help is appreciated by the PRATT team and we think they are doing a great job.” l

CPR for the mind: SLCo offers mental health first aid

By Travis Barton | travis@mycityjournals.com

T

he Speedy Foundation teamed up with Optum on Sept. 24 to offer a free Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) course at the Salt Lake County offices in West Valley City. MHFA is an eight-hour course training participants how to identify the common signs of mental illness including depression, anxiety disorders and substance use.

What the Classes Do For four years Robyn Emery has been teaching MHFA, but her involvement with mental health has spanned much longer.

Emery’s daughter was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 14 and it’s what led Emery into her work field. “[My daughter] got me involved just trying to keep her alive and good and well…now I advocate for families with kids who have mental health issues,” Emery said.

Emery is a certified MHFA facilitator and a family support specialist at Optum. She said the class is essential in teaching people how to be first responders in a mental health crisis.

“People are often trained in CPR or the Heimlich maneuver or first aid, but you’re just as likely to come in contact with someone who is suffering from a mental or emotional crisis,” Emery said.

Julie Stewart and her husband have taken the course twice and work with homeless people experiencing mental health issues.

“With the skills I learned, I feel confident I can step up to support someone in my community and help them get the care they need,” Stewart, a Sandy resident, said.

Emery said the most important skills participants learn is how to recognize an issue, having the tools to assess the risk and directing the person to a place they can seek professional help.

“You’re not going to be able to handle it forever, you’re not supposed to be,” Emery said. “We want [class participants] to see what it looks like and what it’s not.”

Katie Flood, director and treasurer of The Speedy Foundation, said recognizing the issue promptly rather than ignoring the signs can help stop issues before they become serious.

“A lot of times we overlook [the signs] and just assume they’ll be OK and get themselves out of this funk,” Flood said.

Stewart said she used to be afraid talking to people suffering from depression or suicidal thoughts. She learned strategies they could use to council with those who feel like “they’ve hit rock bottom.”

“Instead of saying, ‘well you’ll be OK,’ and walk off, maybe realizing instead that it does help to assess the situation and say, ‘let’s talk about it.’ Those words are big words,” Stewart said. “[Emery’s] class really does help you feel more comfortable in talking through things.”

It’s part of the skill set attendees are meant to acquire along with knowing where to send people for professional help.

“We could give reassurance that there is help and learning from Robyn about all the resources in the valley was huge for us,” Stewart said.

It could also prove a lifesaver for the homeless Stewart works with.

One in five adults experience mental illness according to the National Institute on Mental Health. With everyone capable of receiving aid from the course, Flood has experienced firsthand the results of the training.

“I’ve used it for myself, not knowing I was depressed. Then seeing it really progress, I was able to use those tools and take a

For a year and a half, Flood has worked with The Speedy Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to preventing suicide and supporting mental health. It was formed in 2011 in memory of Jeret “Speedy” Peterson, an Olympic freestyle aerials silver medalist. Peterson battled depression before taking his life at age 29.

Flood’s brother was an Olympian with Peterson and felt the need to jump in and help.

“I, too, had suffered from depression. I feel like its therapeutic in a way. I can reach out and show there’s recovery and hope and good health,” Flood said.

Breaking down stigmas Classes are comprised of 20 to 30 people and one of the first things it does is dispel stigmas surrounding mental health. Flood said it’s the interactive classes that help shatter perceptions.

“You see people engaged, really asking the questions they’ve seen people go through. The engagement is wonderful for people to get rid of the stigmas of depression, drug abuse and suicide,” Flood said.

Emery said the class facilitates understanding of a person with mental illness.

“The whole basis with a stigma is a lack of knowledge.

When you learn about these things, that they’re normal and not a flaw in their character, it makes a difference in how you interact with them,” Emery said.

Emery explained that oftentimes people with mental illness are perceived as scary and violent when in reality, they’re more likely to be the victim. She said she would love to see everyone in the valley take the course because you never know when a situation will arise.

“I think of it personally with my daughter, I’m not with her every night. What if something goes wrong and I’m not around, who’s going to take care of her? Neighbors? And if they don’t know what to do, they can’t be a lot of help,” Emery said. “In

fact, they probably walk away because they’re frightened by what they don’t understand.”

Emery took the MHFA course. It improved her family relationships, more than just with her daughter.

Emery’s nephew committed suicide 30 years ago, the night before his 31st birthday. He had three little kids at the time.

Emery was angry at him. She would go to the cemetery leaving flowers at the graves of all her family members, except his. She would wonder how he could do such a selfish thing. For 20 years, she continued to wonder until the class changed her perception.

“Now I know the pain he was feeling was so intense, that it was the only way he knew how to stop it,” Emery said. “It’s helped me to be a lot more compassionate and feel things that I didn’t for 20 years.”

Youth Mental Health “Mental health is not restricted to a particular age group,” Stewart said about traumatic experiences affecting all ages.

Youth mental health classes are also offered for people who regularly interact with adolescents who may be experiencing mental health or addiction challenges.

These classes have become increasingly important in light of a July report from the Utah Department of Health (UDH) stating that suicide is the leading cause of death in Utah for 10to 17-year-olds.

“We’re in a major youth suicide crisis right now…we need to really hit home in our schools and anywhere we can,” Flood said, adding that the class is great for parents, counselors and educators.

Often times mental health issues can be misjudged as anxiety, stress or being overdramatic, especially in teens Emery said.

“It took me two years to realize that it wasn’t typical teenage rebellion,” Emery said of the experience with her daughter.

Flood said the class shows participants the signs between typical and atypical teenage behavior.

“You can see where a typical teenager will always go on continued on next page…

M ySugar H ouseJournal.Com their roller coaster ride to really seeing the signs of isolating and if they’re getting involved with alcohol and drugs,” Flood said.

Severity and time are two of the most important things to look for according to Emery.

“That lets you know it’s not a situational issue,” Emery said.

Utah’s Issues Challenges of maintaining an emotional balance is an issue affecting the entire state of Utah.

In a survey conducted by UDH, it showed that one in 15 Utah adults have had serious thoughts of suicide and according to statistics compiled by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, Utah ranks fifth in the nation in suicide rates at 21 people per 100,000 people.

“We live in what they call suicide alley,” Emery said referring to the region that includes Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota to go along with Utah.

The region has the highest average rate of almost 20 suicides per 100,000 people.

“Suicide is the one cause of death that is 100 percent preventable, if you know what to do,” Emery said.

Stewart said having awareness of the issue can assist in both the healing and prevention process.

“We can all help each other, I might not be in a crisis today but I might be next month,” Stewart said.

With the MHFA classes and a suicide hotline in Idaho, Flood said The Speedy Foundation is reaching its mission in promoting conversation on the topic. In turn, this helps the individuals who need assistance.

“It’s OK to let people know you’ve gone through hard times because chances are that everyone has, just different degrees of it,” Flood said. “People feel shame with it so no one wants to talk about it.”

LOCAL LIFE Optum and Speedy Foundation Partnership The partnership between The Speedy Foundation and Optum started two years ago in Idaho before branching to the Utah division. Optum manages Salt Lake County Mental Health and Substance Use services through a contract with the Division of Behavioral Health Services.

Flood said MHFA courses fit the need for education and fit the mission of the foundation by combining to provide free books for the courses. Cost of the class is typically $20 to cover the cost of the book provided, but with the partnership, the classes are available for free for limited period of time.

“We are committed to working with Optum to increase awareness about suicide prevention and assist people throughout the Salt Lake area who are affected by mental illness,” Flood said.

Provided by the partnership for the eight-hour courses are leadership, logistical support, printed course materials and awareness campaigns.

Emery said it’s been great working with The Speedy Foundation.

“They’re incredible, it’s a great foundation…a lot of people have been able to benefit from the classes who otherwise couldn’t,” Emery said.

It’s more likely to find someone having an emotional crisis than a heart attack. Which, Emery said, makes it all the more important to take the class.

“It really is [important]. I have a family full of mental health problems and I don’t know what I would’ve done if I didn’t have this kind of stuff,” Emery said.

Sugar House threads ~ Finding the best shops in town

Your Text isn’t Worth It!

By Lauren Wester | l.wester@mycityjournals.com

Daley’s Clothing outfit: Shirt: $125, Pants: $59.

A

dd new style to your wardrobe this season by shopping around Sugar House, a clothes horse’s dream spot known for its array of eclectic and vintage clothing shops. We shopped our way through this beautiful area of Salt Lake to find the best threads in town. Listed are four local Sugar House gems to find some interesting threads.

Nearly 330,000 injuries occur each year from accidents caused by texting while driving.

1 out of every 4 car accidents in the United States is caused by texting and driving.

Sugar House Journal

817 East 2100 South Atmosphere: Daley’s Clothing is relaxed, has dark mood lighting and feels like you’ve entered into an art music venue with stylish clothes on display. Mid-century lighting fixtures adorn the ceiling. There is artwork on the walls and windows opening into the next room. A slightly overweight, friendly cat named Ula greets most customers.

Relevant youth culture is what Daley said describes his store. The artful spray-painted wall at the entrance of the shop exemplifies that artsy, youthful feel.

The ambiance isn’t just for show because Daley’s Clothing has an art gallery in the back, a music venue in the basement and a friend’s vintage shop in Daley’s space.

Price average: Women’s $30 to $60, Men’s $50 to $100 Style: Mod best describes the store, Daley said. Daley brings in higher-end brands for the men’s section and stylish, lesser known brands for the women’s section. “It just worked out that way; the style of my shop called for higher- end brands in the men’s section such as Penguin, Ben Sherman, Fred Perry and Timberland,” Daley said.

History: Daley was studying business and dropped out of school to start his clothing store. He previously owned a screen-printing company and wanted to get back into a fashion-focused business.

A couple months after leaving school, Daley found a storefront lease on 2100 South and started Daley’s Clothing. He was thankful for the opportunity to lease a commercial space since other landlords wouldn’t rent to him.

“No one would rent to me since I was still 20 years old and had no previous professional rental lease. I saw this place for lease and thought, it’s not ideal but I can work with this. Now I’m happy here. We have the freedom to change what we want in the building,” Daley said.

Pib’s Exchange

1147 South Ashton Ave. Atmosphere: Pib’s Exchange is clothing thrifting at its best.

Customers are immediately greeted with colorful wigs, fringe jackets, stylish dresses and fun costumes. Pib’s feels like a quirky costume shop mixed with a clean, updated thrift shop.

This is the kind of store you can spend hours digging for the perfect coat or skirt.

Price average: $10 to $15 Style: The style is a mix of everything with a majority of recycled clothing. “We range from skater to punk to mall fashions to Bohemian. We have lots of different styles. I think that’s what’s great about our store,” said Sarah Snow, who co-owns Pib’s along with her husband Phil Snow.

History: Sarah and Phil opened Pib’s in 1995. The two were selling vintage Levi’s jeans to overseas buyers and once the demand slowed down, Phil brought up the idea of opening a clothing exchange shop and Sarah went along with it.

“It took six months to a year to get into the building and get it up and running and remodeling,” Sarah said. “We started as a vintage shop, we went around the country before we opened and picked a variety of vintage clothing, then we started morphing (after we opened) into a more contemporary style with the buy, sell, trade,” Sarah said.

The name stems from Phil’s childhood nickname, Pib. They liked the name ‘Exchange’ seen on other stores. The duo enjoy working in Sugar House because of the eclectic feel, and they plan to keep Pib’s in Sugar House.

Unhinged & Cosmic Wolf Vintage

2165 South Highland Drive Atmosphere: The relaxing scent of lavender and the eyeopening smell of mint immediately embrace the senses as you walk into this store. Kristen Thomas, owner of Cosmic Wolf Vintage, said the fragrances are from the handmade soaps she sells. From cards to handmade jewelry to soaps, Unhinged & Cosmic Wolf Vintage are like a unique gift shop mixed with an earthy Bohemian clothing store.

The interior entrance of The White Elephant Exchange.

Upstairs, Cosmic Wolf Vintage adds a more retro feel. “I hope people notice the carefully selected curated selection of vintage. Everything I pick out is unique and has a purpose,” Thomas said.

Price average: $20 to $40 Style: Unhinged has a modern Bohemian flair with a touch of vintage. The pieces have nature inspired prints and earthy tones, matching the atmosphere of the store.

Cosmic Wolf Vintage upstairs has a 60s and 70s feel. “I was inspired by the underground sound of the 60s and 70s, rock ‘n’ roll and the psychedelic movement,” Thomas said.

History: Unhinged opened in September 2011. Corey Folster, owner of Unhinged, chose Sugar House because he grew up coming to fun shops in the area. He saw Sugar House as a funky neighborhood with a great mix of people and wanted to add to the limited local shops. “It (Sugar House) seemed to need more

local shops as many big chains had moved in,” Folster said.

Cosmic Wolf Vintage opened in September of 2016 at its current location upstairs from Unhinged, but originally Thomas opened her business in 2011 at a different location. Thomas learned about vintage clothing and curating by working at a vintage shop in California. She started selling vintage clothing online after she had her son and didn’t want to put him in daycare.

Thomas met the owner of Unhinged at an urban flea market and stayed in contact through Instagram. Living in California at the time, she moved to Utah for the vintage movement and opened a store at Mayberry Vintage, then moved her store to Unhinged.

Atmosphere: The walls are lined with bold green and pink palm tree wallpaper along with black and white stripes on adjacent walls. The shop gives off a Palm Springs circa 1960s feel, thanks to the palm trees.

Rachael LePrey, owner of the White Elephant Exchange said her shop is filled with statement pieces. Her shop interior goes alongside with her clothing: it makes a statement and stays unique.

Price average: $15 to $20 Style: Fashion-forward with a mix of vintage, lightly used and some new. LePrey uses the word fearless to describe her shop.

“I look for anything in fashion and good quality. Other stores have style without quality, a lot of times vintage has the quality base I’m looking for,” LePrey said. LePrey is always looking for new trends to bring into her store. She said metallic, furs, velvets and grunge are in style at the moment.

History: LePrey lived in San Francisco for four years out of college and fell in love with thrifting while she was there. “I’ve always loved clothing since high school and when I lived in San Francisco you have to figure out how you can pay for clothes while staying fashionable. Thrifting and exchange stores were a good way to stay fashionable and find awesome rad clothes without spending a ton of money,” LePrey said.

She started working at an exchange in California, and that’s where she got the inspiration to start her own store. The White Elephant Exchange opened June 2015 at its current location but started in 2013 at the Two Dancing Cats store.

A

new addition is coming to Sugar House and it’s not a housing development.

Google Fiber is arriving in Sugar House this winter to provide another internet option for homes and businesses.

Sign-ups are now available on Google Fiber’s website for South Sugar House with sign-ups for the north side coming soon.

“We’re super excited to be offering the product, even more so, the community has shown great excitement and enthusiasm for super-fast internet,” said Jacob Brace, community impact manager at Google Fiber.

There is no closing date for sign-ups yet, but there will be for single-family households.

“It’s part of our business model to deploy resources to the customers in the quickest fashion possible,” Brace said. He added that people should continually check the website for updates.

In August, Google Fiber opened up offices at Trolley Square with service available to all in the downtown area and city center neighborhood—from 300 West to 1300 East and South Temple to 800 South. It’s been almost two years since Google Fiber announced it was coming to Salt Lake City.

Salt Lake City stood out, Brace said, because of a mutually desired partnership with Salt Lake City government, residents and utility companies to bring a fiber optic network to the city.

“It takes a ton of planning and construction and coordination to bring Google Fiber services to a location for the first time and frankly, this community has shown great excitement and enthusiasm,” Brace said.

In order to implement Google Fiber in the city, Brace said a fiber ring needs to be placed around the city, one of the company’s main

build accomplishments.

“We were able to do that fairly swiftly in collaboration with Salt Lake City government and the utilities in the area,” Brace said.

Part of the process includes identifying where utilities and telecom lines are located to not disrupt those existing lines. Brace said working with the city and its residents is essential to minimize construction impact on the area’s infrastructure.

“It’s a partnership to coordinate the efforts so we can come in as quickly as possible, building out a quality network with the least amount of construction,” Brace said. “We are working and coordinating with residents and businesses of the area because it does impact vehicular and pedestrian traffic.”

By enacting the installation process with coordination from businesses and utilities, Brace said they dig once in an area, taking care of everything once.

“That’s the best solution and the least amount of disturbance on residents and businesses so those partnerships are always something we’re open to,” Brace said.

By working with everybody and providing the appropriate signage and directional tools, Brace said they’ll be able to “get in and get out, almost like we were never there.”

Internet service from Google will offer plans from 100 to 1,000 megabits per second with monthly prices ranging from $50 to $140.

Small business plans are also offered ranging from $70 to $250. Plans will have optional telephone and television services.

Availability for those in apartments may have limitations depending upon the apartment complex. Brace said those who experience such a situation should talk to their apartment managers. l

Sugar House projects may be eligible for impact fee funding

By Jordan Greene | j.greene@mycityjournals.com

Fire House No. 3 is one of the projects eligible for an upgrade using funds from impact fee draft plan. (Jordan Greene/City Journals)

D

uring the week of September 20th, the Salt Lake City division of Housing and Neighborhood Development (HAND) released a new impact fee draft plan for the rates of the fees and eligible projects they can go toward. Impact fees are charged to developers when they build new structures within a city to help mitigate the impact of that new growth on municipal services such as police and fire.

According to HAND: “Impact fees are used by municipalities to maintain levels of service in areas experiencing additional demand due to development growth. The fees are governed by state statute and can only be spent in service areas on projects including public utilities, roadways, parks, and police and fire facilities.”

A map outlines the regions of the city where certain impact fees will be collected from any developers building there. Certain kinds of fees are collected for certain areas. The idea behind impact fees is that the city builds infrastructure such as large water tanks that are bigger than the community needs. They regard this as a sort of loan from the citizens as the cost is greater than what the city needs at the time. They collect impact fees from builders who bring new growth into the area to fill up that “excess utility” as a way to pay back the citizens.

According to the HAND representatives, “The city’s current Impact Fee Facilities Plan specifies particular areas in the city where impact fees can be collected and spent. The draft plan

Sugar House is attracting a lot of growth. Impact fees are collected from the developers for each new unit built. (Jordan Greene/City Journals)

Salt Lake City Council has been discussing the drafts for the new impact fees plan. (Jordan Greene/City Journals)

recommends fees be collected and spent citywide. The draft plan also adjusts the amount of fees collected from various types of development based on a review of historic impact and service use.”

Sugar House occupies an interesting spot as impact fees for the transportation section are not collected in Sugar House from the new developers. This makes impact fees potentially smaller when building in Sugar House versus other areas in Salt Lake City. But the large amount of growth can benefit the community with new funds for park renovations, improved streets, and expanded fire or police departments, but it is no guarantee that the fees collected from Sugar House developers will be spent in Sugar House.

So while impact fees can be valuable to the community their exact effectiveness may differ from project to project or area to area.

Judi Short from the Sugar House Community Council said, “Impact fees are to be used to keep a current level of service for new growth to a city, not to repair deficiencies and to mitigate the impact of new development on public infrastructure. And it has to be used for projects in the adopted Impact Fees Facilities Plan (CIP 10-year Plan).”

In discussing the potential projects impact fees can be spent, she said, “As you can see as you read through the pages [of the draft], pretty soon the projects don’t get any funding for this year because the list is longer than available money.”

However she continued, “The good news is that we need a new Fire Station No. 3 for Sugar House, and that has been on the list for some years. Because of all the new tall buildings, we need a ladder truck, and a ladder truck won’t fit in the existing fire station. So a new station is eligible for impact fee funding because of this growth. It will pay for 33 percent of land acquisition and 33 percent of the construction.”

Short said that there is often a misunderstanding about impact fees and what can be done with them. For example, many think roads can be fixed, but that isn’t necessarily true. She said, “Every five years we are required to do a survey of the streets and determine what are existing conditions. If they have decided that all roads need to be at a “good” level of service, they can use the money for street improvements if it is not just the regular maintenance for that road. So impact fees can only pay for that cost that is related to growth.” That is the “excess capacity” of the infrastructure the city has already built.

Some additional projects in Sugar House that may be eligible for impact fee funds are the new dog park in Fairmont, the Salt Lake and Jordan Canal Shared Use Pathway, the restrooms at Fairmont, and new traffic signals. Short is also hopeful that Impact Fees can help pay for a ladder truck for Station No. 3 in the future. l

Public/private partnership creates pathway for students

By Kelly Cannon | kelly@mycityjournals.com

G

overnor Gary Herbert announced the launch of a new medical innovations pathway on Sept. 27 that will allow high school students the chance to graduate with a certificate in medical manufacturing innovations. From there, students can either continue their education at the post-secondary level or begin their career in life sciences.

The new pathway was brought about through a partnership of USA Funds, the Governor’s Office of Economic Development and Department of Workforce Services.

“We set a goal to become the best performing economy and a premier business destination,” Herbert said during a special presentation at Edward Life Sciences in Draper. “It’s encouraging to see the fruits of our labors, to see that happening in front of our eyes.”

The Medical Innovations Pathway is being funding through a $1 million grant from USA Funds.

This is the third pathway the state provides to high school students, the other two being aerospace and diesel technology.

According to Ben Hart, the managing director for urban and rural business services at the Governor’s Office for Economic Development, the pathway works by partnering high school students with both a post-secondary institution and an industry.

“They get some experience, some curriculum while they’re in high school and then they get further, more rigorous training at one of the secondary institutions and then they get a chance to go onsite in the industry,” Hart said. “Whether that’s a 48-hour internship or job shadow, they get a chance to see what they’re actually going to be doing.”

Hart said the purpose of the pathways program is to empower students to make better career decisions so they can understand what

jobs are actually like before deciding if it’s the right career for them.

Herbert praised these programs because of the partnership between public and private interests.

“Education is the key to long-term success economically,” Herbert said. “One of the reasons we’re having success is what I call the spirit of collaboration, this partnership and the one we see in this pathways program, exemplifies this idea of public and private partnership working together for the good of the whole economy.”

Herbert also praised the program for its potential to help people.

“The advancements in science and technology we’re seeing and exhibiting here today is making people’s lives better,” Herbert said. “And at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.”

Ken Eliason, vice-president of plant operations at Edward Life Sciences, thanked Herbert for pursuing these opportunities to improve their workforce and provide students with workforce opportunities.

“This program is a step forward for us addressing workforce challenges in our state,” Eliason said. “We hope this program will not only provide stable and rewarding jobs but also create an interest in life sciences and STEM classes.”

The Granite School District has been working on a life sciences program for the past nine years, developing training programs in both biotechnology and biomanufacturing.

“This medical innovations pathway will take that work to the next level by providing direct linkage to companies who are seeking employees and the real work that is going on in these industries,” said Martin Bates, the superintendent of the Granite School District.

The program will start in the Granite School District and will expand to the Davis and Canyons School Districts next year. The first semester of the program will take place in the high schools and the second semester will include curriculum from Salt Lake Community College. Students will also do internships and job shadowing. Upon completion of the Medical Innovations Pathway program and passing pre-employment requirements, students will be certified to begin work with one of the life science partners in Utah, receiving a family-sustaining wage.

Kiera Terrlink, a senior at Skyline High School, will be starting the pathways program next semester.

“People seemed so involved in their careers and it sounded like a good opportunity to start and figure out if that’s what I wanted to do,” Terrlink said. l

Students take on leadership roles at Highland Park

By Natalie Mollinet | natalie@mycityjournals.com

T

his year Highland Park Elementary is bringing together a team of outstanding students to serve in leadership positions in their grades. The name of this small group of leaders is the Highland Park Roadrunner Leadership team, which consists of students from second to sixth grade who have demonstrated leadership skills.

“We are all leaders at Highland Park,” Amber Pulley, one the teachers who runs the team, said. “This is our school motto this year, and we have designated a team of student leaders compromised of representatives from second graders to sixth graders.”

The students were nominated by their former teachers for their leadership abilities. The Leadership Team so far this year has helped with different school activities and put together a monthly newscast explaining what each grade has been learning.

“I like it because you make new friends, and you get to know more teachers and students,” Savannah Moon, the fourthgrade representative, said.

The Leadership Team meets twice a month after school, and during those meetings they help with different school activities.

One of their recent ones was the jog-a-thon, where they helped sort out the tickets for each student in the school.

“This helped out the PTA greatly,” Pulley said. “With the collaboration of the student leaders and the PTA the jog-a-thon was a huge success.”

The students have fun volunteering and helping with their monthly videos, that they not only participate in, but they help edit. Even though the first graders and kindergarten students don’t have a representative, the older students on the Leadership

Team are there to help.

During their last meeting, the students of Pulley asked what they could do to help their fellow students be safe on the playground and in their classrooms. A lot of them had good ideas about not sitting far back in their seats so they don’t fall backwards and hit their head.

Grace Clark, the fifth-grade representative, said, “It’s kind of fun to be the first one and kind of help set stones on what can be done.” Grace said she has helped diffuse situations where someone didn’t say something nice to someone else, and she was there to help them work it out. She was very excited she was

chosen to be in the group.

During recess, the team has been learning from fifthgrade teacher Mike Sorensen on how to help with playground cooperation. The teachers and staff want to help students feel included. The students enjoy getting treats during their meetings and really have a drive to help the school.

“I love being on the leadership team because we get to serve people in the school and do lots of fun stuff,” said thirdgrade representative Brayden King. “I want to help the school by making our school more popular, and making it feel like a better place to be.” l

Firefighters compete at charity chili cookoff

R

epresentatives from nearly 15 fire departments brought hundreds of quarts of chili to the South Towne Mall parking lot in Sandy on Sept. 24 to compete in the Fourth Annual Utah Firefighter Chili Cookoff, a fundraiser for the University of Utah Health Care’s Burn Camp.

“As far as I’m concerned, we’re all winning as soon as people buy tickets for chili,” said Jack Gray, a West Jordan resident representing the Ogden Fire Department. “We’re really here for the kids who will benefit from camp.”

At the camp, children, teen and adult burn injury survivors socialize with people in similar circumstances and learn about healing from professional nurses, physical therapists and firefighters.

About 5,000 people attended the cookoff, and together the departments raised $12,528 for the Burn Camp, with South Davis Fire Department raising the most at $2,677, West Jordan coming in second at $1,711 and Unified Fire Authority third at $1,304. South Davis also claimed the people’s choice chili with West Jordan coming in second place and West Valley Fire Department in third.

American Fork took the plaque for the booth decorating competition with their Old West, saloon-style booth. West Jordan came in second with their booth that included a 10-foot-tall fake fire-hydrant and the Unified Fire Authority came in third place with the booth that they named the “Sultry Poultry” that was decorated with a banner, stuffed animal chicken and hay.

“Well, it would be great to win again, but from last year to this year, you have departments who have stepped up their booth and other departments who have made changes to their chili,” Chief Marc McElreath of the West Jordan Fire Department said about the competition, adding that his department will make changes next year.

West Jordan won the booth decorating and people’s choice chili awards in 2015 using

the recipe of Kent Warner, a firefighter and paramedic on West Jordan’s C platoon. Warner said he was “volun-told” to make the chili for the competition after he made a chili for his coworkers that they liked.

Warner switched up his recipe for this year’s competition by substituting smoked, pulled pork for steak and reducing the spiciness of the chili. Judges commented that they missed the spiciness, so Warner said he plans to add some heat to the West Jordan chili for the 2017 event.

Many departments bring the same chili each year. Unified Fire West Valley brings a red chili and a chili verde and Unified Fire offers a cashew chicken chili and vegetarian cashew quinoa chili each year.

Shelby Williams, event participant who came to support her brother who works for the West Valley Fire Department, said, setting all bias aside, the West Valley’s chili verde chili was her favorite. She thought they should have won.

Overall, it was an activity that members of her family, no matter what age, could enjoy, she said.

Williams ran around the event with her niece and nephew in the parking lot and lawn area of the South Towne Mall, which organizers had set up with activities for kids including inflatable slides.

Rob Marriot, of Unified Fire, said he thought the event was a success because it allowed the firefighters to raise money toward the burn camp.

Marriot said he and other firefighters from his department have participated in the burn camp and have seen the children learn how to cope with their injuries.

This year the state’s firefighters will give more than $12,000 to the burn camp, but the burn camp participants will give the firefighters much more than that in terms of strength, he said.

“Let’s promote the cookoff for next year and make it bigger and better,” Marriot said.

“Let’s beat what we raised this year during next year’s event.” l

Start By Believing Campaign at Westminster College

By Natalie Mollinet | natalie@mycityjournals.com

O

n U.S. college campuses, 23.1% of female and 5.4% of male undergraduate students say they have experienced rape or sexual assault. In Utah, one in six women will be assaulted. At Westminster College, the Tipping Point Club devoted a week to the Start By Believing Campaign, a campaign that is a call to action to every student and community member that if someone comes to you who has been sexually assaulted that you’ll be supportive.

“The more we are aware of it the more prepared we are to tackle it,” Tiffany Perry, president of the Tipping Point Club said.

This event was the first time that a Utah college devoted a week of events to the Start By Believing Campaign. The Tipping Point is a student club that started last year. The club mainly focused on human trafficking but soon learned that they couldn’t talk about human trafficking without talking about sexual assault.

Perry said that she hoped the week would not only help students who had been sexually assaulted be open about talking about their experience, but those on campus would learn how to be a positive influence to those who approach them with their experience.

“A lot of cultural aspects will provide barriers for victims to be able to disclose their trauma,” Perry said, “They feel like they can’t because they feel guilty about the experience or that they were at fault.”

Perry said that the campaign will help people not only in the school, but in the community to help break those barriers.

The week-long campaign presented how individuals can respond to someone who has been sexually assaulted. Perry suggested that instead of being prodding and asking questions

like “what were you drinking? And what were you wearing?” ask the questions, “Do you want to talk about it? What can I do for you? How can I help you?”

“We want to put the focus on the victim instead of the perpetrator, and how we can get the victims help and justice,” Perry said.

The week included a pledge event where students took a pledge to start being someone that others could confide it. It also included workshops on the difference between healthy and unhealthy relationships and the warning signs. The college showed the movie The Hunting Ground, a film about sexual assaults on college campuses. A panel discussion was set up to talk about it, and experts from police officers to leaders from groups like Talk To a Survivor and the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault were there to talk about how people can help.

Diane Tilton, founder of Talk to A Survivor, said, “We’re taking social action as a part of our healing. To disclose our issues will show people they’re not alone and they can take social action in big and small ways.”

In Sugar House, there is a Rape Recovery Center at 2000 South and 1300 East. Mara Haight the executive director said the more the subject is believed the better the outcomes they’ll have long term.

Perry hopes that the students at Westminster College are able to be a supportive friend to those who have been assaulted.

“The current culture in our society breeds a response of disbelief and victim blaming when someone discloses that they have been sexually assaulted,” Perry said. “A supportive response is a step in breaking the cycle of violence.” l

Westminster College Veterans Day

W

By Sylvia O’Hara, director of the Center for Veteran and Military Services at Westminster

estminster College is proud to have nearly 150 student Veterans, cadets and midshipmen in its ranks. The college will commemorate Veterans Day on November 11 at 11:00 a.m. with a formal ceremony and flag raising at Converse Hall. A reception will follow at Westminster’s Center for Veteran and Military Service. The event is free and open to the public. Westminster College invites our Sugar House neighbors to attend and encourages the community to join us in recognizing currently serving service members and Veterans from all eras and backgrounds.

The origins of Veterans Day dates back nearly 100 years ago when World War I was coming to a close. Veterans Day is observed on November 11 because the ceasefire for World War I was signed on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. After one year of peace, President Woodrow Wilson called for the creation of a holiday to honor Veterans and celebrate peace. The holiday was created to recognize Veterans who served honorably in the military, whether in wartime or peacetime.

As part of Westminster’s commemoration, we want to recognize our own students who have honorably served and those who will go on to serve. We are proud to have a strong Veterans community on campus, where student Veterans are supported and community is fostered.

Student Veterans at Westminster are supported by the Center for Veteran and Military Services and the student club, Westminster Military Association(WMA). The WMA is an active organization on campus, raising awareness and creating visibility for student Veterans.

Westminster College will observe Veterans’ Day with activities and events throughout the week of November 7-11. Whether it’s wearing a yellow ribbon or talking to a Veteran about their story, the events are aimed at making a difference through action, awareness and participation.

• November 7: Make a yellow ribbon to wear during the week. Center for Veteran and Military Services (Walker Hall): 11:00 a.m.2:00 p.m.

• November 8: Tuesday Talk – Bruce Summers, Chief of Veteran Services Career Center (Shaw Center) 2:00 p.m.

• November 9: Build comfort kits for homeless Veterans. Donations go to Valor House Center for Veteran and Military Services (Walker Hall) 1:00-3:00 p.m.

• November 11: Flag Ceremony, Converse Hall 11:00 a.m., Reception to follow at the Center for Veteran and Military Services Veterans Week at Westminster is sponsored by the Center for Veteran and Military Services at Westminster, Westminster Military Association, Associated Students of Westminster, and Westminster’s Career Center.

Highland High inducts former athlete into Hall of Fame

By Natalie Mollinet | natalie@mycityjournals.com

I

t takes a talented athlete to score and win the game for his team, but it also takes a talented doctor to help the players stay healthy.

Highland High had one man who did both, as a talented athlete and, later as a caring sports doctor.

Russ Toronto was posthumously inducted into the Highland Hall of Fame after being chosen by those within the community and Russ Toronto was a sports doctor who was those at Highland.

Highland’s posthumously inducted into Highland High’s Hall Of Fame during homecoming week. football head coach (Elaine Toronto/Sister of Russ) Brody Benson said he developed a friendship with Russ after seeing him as a patient while playing sports.

“The great thing about Russ is he made you feel like you were his only patient,” Benson said during Highland’s homecoming assembly. “I think that was the biggest thing that he wanted to do was to help, he wanted to get people back and he wanted to heal.”

Many who knew Russ, knew he was a gifted athlete, he excelled in baseball when he played at Highland and was gifted at coaching when it came to his children and others. Russ passed away on June 28 due to heart problems.

Russ was a major part of the state’s sports medicine scene for 35 years, and was one of the busiest doctors, seeing around 5,000 athletes a year. He graduated from Highland in 1970 and went on to be a pitcher at the University of Utah. He became interested in medicine after applying for work at a hospital where he was assigned to take care of elderly patients. Russ enjoyed the job and from there went to medical school at the University of Utah. He worked as an emergency room physician for 13 years.

Weekends and off hours were spent helping high school teams recover from injuries including Highland.

“He continued to be a ram by the way that he helped Highland athletes,” Benson said, “There were countless times that I’d call on Russ to come over and get one of our players in to see him. If he couldn’t, there were many times he’d stop in on his way home to see them, just to go out of his way to make sure that he could get them back out on the field.”

Benson spoke at Highland’s homecoming assembly about how he trusted Russ to heal his athletes as well as his own family.

Chris Toronto, Russ’s youngest son who attended East High, came to Highland’s homecoming assembly. He talked about his relationship with his dad, how his dad was a coach, healer and friend to many, and how the family was honored that his father was inducted into Highland’s Hall of Fame.

“It’s very special for us as a family,” Chris said.

Many of Russ’s family, including his siblings and some of his nieces and nephews attended Highland High school and were also treated by him. His niece Clara Toronto was one of those who participated in different Highland sports.

“He was an enabler,” Clara said, “but the old kind. He wanted nothing more than to get you back to your sport. His end goal was to give you the resources you needed to get back into the game and stay in the game. He genuinely cared about your success.”

During Highland’s homecoming football game, Russ’s wife Paula, their five children and their 17 grandchildren accepted a plaque that inducted Russ into the Highland Hall of Fame.

“I know that he would have been very proud of it,” Chris said, “One thing that he was so great at was getting athletes and everyday people back out doing what they love to do.” l

“His end goal was to give you the resources you needed to get back into the game and stay in the game.

He genuinely cared about your success.”

For those struggling with addiction. two years in a row, FTR has been “I wanted purpose,” Acker chosen from businesses across the said. “I never felt like I had any nation as one of the most influential type of purpose. I wanted to companies in the community. (Ian create a place that was friendly Acker/Founder of FTR) and a place where people in recovery felt welcome.”

In August 2012, Acker, a recovering addict himself, took a risk: he purchased a Beats by Dr. Dre Beatbox and posted a Facebook message encouraging his friends in recovery to join him in Sugar House Park for a Saturday morning workout.

“Four people showed up,” Acker said. “But during that day I saw the connection that these people had — they were smiling and they were happy. Just that little breath of fresh air propelled me to continue to keep going. So the next week there were seven people; then 10 showed up, 15 showed up, 20 showed up.”

As word of this high-energy fitness hour spread, more and more people working through addiction started joining Acker in the park. Eventually Cold Creek Wellness Center, a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center based out of Kaysville, caught wind of Acker’s growing program and began bringing treatment patients to his workouts.

“When Cold Creek signed on, that showed me that we could really do something,” Acker said.

The notable, steady growth of the Saturday morning park program signaled to Acker that there was an unmet need in the sober community: a need for physical activity, community gatherings, nutritional insights, and creative endeavors.

“After we got some play in the park, we started a run group at USARA,” Acker said. “They were nice enough to let us process and then run every Monday. So we had two things going on and then we implemented a women’s group at USARA as well, which made three things.”

Utah Support Advocates for Recovery Awareness, or USARA, is located in downtown Salt Lake City and has played a monumental role in getting Acker’s ideas off the ground.

After launching several different programs and garnering a large following at his Saturday morning Sugar House workouts, Acker decided it was time to establish a place for these programs to call home.

In January 2015, Acker opened the Fit To Recover gym at 789 W. 1390 S. in Salt Lake City.

“We started working with quite a few treatment centers and at that point we needed a building because it was getting cold and it just wasn’t working outside,” Acker said. “So we finally closed on a building, but it took a long time because

people didn’t want to rent to people in recovery. But we found someone who was nice enough to rent to us, and we opened up, and we hit the ground running.”

What started as a 5,500-square-foot empty warehouse soon became a remarkable gym and community center thanks to the help of volunteers and sponsors across the valley. Today the nonprofit Fit To Recover (FTR) gym has a 20-foot-high climbing wall, more than a dozen weight racks, and ample space for group workout sessions.

“It’s been amazing to see this place grow,” said Lacey Garcia, leader of the FTR Women’s Group. “Just seeing people in recovery come and say ‘I want to build a climbing wall,’ and a climbing wall is built; or ‘I want to start a writing group’, and a writing group starts; or ‘I want to plant a garden,’ and a garden is planted. People come with ideas and we see them all the way through.”

FTR hosts more than 35 classes a week out of the gym.

From strength and conditioning, to restorative yoga and nutrition workshops, to music and creative expression, and much more, each class is designed to facilitate the physical activity, nutrition, and creativity that’s invaluable when achieving long-term sobriety.

“I love it here,” said Robert Godwin, a treatment patient at the Odyssey House Rehabilitation Center and attendee of Saturday morning bootcamp. “If it wasn’t for places like this I don’t know what I would be doing. It actually ties me down and keeps me motivated to want to stay sober, to be clean, and to have a new life outside of getting high on the streets. I’m excited. I’m happy. I feel like I’ve actually found a home.”

With 100 individual members and seven different treatment centers signed up, FTR serves more than 300

people each week. Art studios, meeting rooms, a community garden, and a play room make FTR much more than the average fitness gym. Instead, it is a place where people in recovery can feel welcome, supported, encouraged, and motivated; it’s a place where community and service go hand in hand.

“Ian really believes in people and lets them express themselves how they want,” Garcia said. “And it’s cool to see us get a community impact award for all we’ve done.”

In September 2015, Acker and Garcia flew to Washington, D.C. to accept the Utah Community Impact Award from SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives. FTR was selected from 1,500 businesses across Utah for their exceptional efforts in the community. Again, in September 2016, SCORE named FTR the nation’s most Outstanding Community Impact Business.

“We were recognized for our outstanding community impact — that’s a pretty big deal,” Acker said. “I’m pretty proud of that.”

With a growing member base and additional treatment centers signing on, the future for FTR is very bright. Over the next five years, Acker hopes his business will become self-sustaining, host more programs for physical and creative outlets, and serve more than 500 people per week.

Ultimately, Acker intends to franchise the gym in order to meet the needs of those in recovery in every state.

“We’re thinking long term, not just here in Utah,” Acker said. “Because the joy is in helping people: the more people we can help, the better we feel.”

Every Saturday morning bootcamp is closed out with a traditional group breakdown and inspirational words from founder Ian Acker. “What makes FTR so unique is the amazing group of people we have here,” Acker said. “They give others hope.” (City Journals)

Rams tennis serves lessons for life

By Travis Barton | travis@mycityjournals.com

T

he Highland Rams girls tennis team capped off its season by finishing third in a tough Region 5 with four members qualifying for the state tournament. Isa Huhane and Evelyn Lords competed in singles while Lauren Mayeda and Anna Leone competed in doubles, respectively.

What may have impressed head coach Sharon Snyder even more was the number of players on the team. In her 16th year at Highland, Snyder saw her tennis team increase to 35 players this year.

“It’s probably my largest number of kids I’ve ever had on a team. They kept coming and we kept taking,” Snyder said.

It’s an upward trend in sports, Snyder said, to not cut kids regardless of their beginner status. As a result, she gets to see a player’s progress throughout their Highland High School career.

“I especially like seeing freshmen come in as beginners and end up on the varsity team their junior and senior year. That’s really fun and really rewarding for me,” Snyder said.

With a large group of underclassmen, Snyder may have more opportunities to witness that progression. All three singles players return in addition to their second doubles team.

Snyder said she’s looking forward to it considering the chemistry the team had this season.

“We had a really good chemistry this year, everybody worked hard and had a lot of fun,” Snyder said. She would require players to attend all home matches, even those not participating, to cheer on their teammates.

That camaraderie is perhaps best embodied by co-captains and doubles partners Raili Brush and Olivia Romney.

The seniors were doubles partners during their sophomore seasons when they “really goofed around on the court and didn’t

take it seriously.” When Snyder paired the friends together for their senior season, Brush said they were nervous to be together again, but the duo proved to be the proper foils for one another.

“As the season progressed we got really well at playing together and knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses,” Brush said.

Besides their abilities on the court, their friendship proved to help each other mentally as well.

“I get frustrated on the court and she knows how to talk me down,” Brush said adding that she reminds Romney about the joy of playing the sport when she might become nervous about losing.

That sort of trusting relationship stretched to their coach as well. With so many girls on the team, Snyder had to delegate many responsibilities to her assistant coaches, captains and

members of the varsity team. By doing so, Snyder said, it helped build that team chemistry.

Brush said she loved playing for Snyder learning from her example about patience.

“She’s a great coach. She’s so patient with every player, I’d get so frustrated on the court and she’d be so patient with me and help get my mind back into playing,” Brush said.

Snyder said one thing she enjoys about high school team sports are the teaching opportunities.

“If you can teach [students] life skills through the sports that they play, that’s really the goal is to teach them lessons in life,” Snyder said. “I can count on one hand how many kids went on to play college sports, but I hope they learn life lessons like how to contribute to something bigger than themselves.” l

Nine Easy Ways to Instant Gratification

I

n this world of instant gratification it’s become harder than ever to keep overspending at bay. Sometimes we neglect to see just how much those little things can add up. I ask you though, if you saw a $20 bill lying on the sidewalk wouldn’t you bend over to pick it up? Improving your bank balance can be as easy as stopping to pick up that cash. Here are a few ideas: Hit the Library for Family or Date Night – Not only is the Library a great place to browse books, pick up videos and borrow music, they also host a variety of events throughout the year. A quick browse of the events section at my local Salt Lake County Library reveled, Teen Laser Tag, Yoga, Adult Coloring, Toddler Playtime, book reading, as well as various holiday events.

Use Ibotta – There is a plethora of money saving apps out there. My recommendation for getting started is with the Ibotta app. Ibotta allows you to submit a picture of your receipt and get cash back on purchases from everything from groceries to department stores. They’ll even pay you cash back when you shop online. Plus, for a limited time, new users get a FREE $10 bonus just for cashing in their first rebate. More info at www. coupons4utah.com/ibotta Brew Your Own Coffee – On your way to work and stopping in the convenience store for that quick fix? An average cup of Joe can cost as much as $1.85 vs. the $0.25 fresh home brewed, more if it’s from a specialty shop. You may think it’s worth it, but calculate that for the entire year and that could be as

much as $300 or more in your pocket. That makes me bounce off the walls just thinking about it.

Learn to Craft – Ever hear the saying you can’t buy love?

Truth is little kids don’t care as much about toys as they do about time. Instead of buying that expensive toy break out empty toilet paper rolls, cereal boxes, left over party supplies and create some memories instead. Visit Coupons4Utah’s Pinterest page for a ton of ideas.

Use Your Crock Pot – Crock Pot cooking not only is easier on the electric bill than the oven, it’s also a great way to over cook. Use the leftovers for a second dinner and lunches. Check out Utah food writer www.365daysofcrockpot.com for some amazing recipe ideas.

Ditch Brand Loyalty – Instead of sticking with the same old brand name. Shop for sales instead. Or go generic; often the same company makes these products. Blind taste tests have shown that some people can’t tell the difference or prefer them.

Nothing ventured, no money gained.

Skip The Shopping Cart – Running to the Grocery Store to pick up a few items. By forcing yourself to carry your purchases, you are less likely to buy things you didn’t go for. Or, skip going in the store all together and order your groceries online and pick them up at the curb instead. Many stores now provide this service, including Macey’s, Walmart and Smith’s. I tried out Smith’s Clicklist recently and found this method of shopping easy to

use and the service didn’t cost me a dime. They even let you use coupons. See how it works at www.coupons4utah.com/clicklist Buy Discounted Gift Cards – Remember, there’s no rule saying you have to give the gift card away. If you’re planning on making a large scale purchase, or find yourself shopping often at the same store, pre-buying the gift card at a discount is the way to go. There are many online companies where you can score these treasures; some that I have personally used include the eBay gift card store, Cardpool.com, and Raise.com. Remember, these gift cards spend just like cash, which means you can use them right along with in-store sales, coupons and online coupon codes.

Check for Cash Back on New Appliances – Did you know that Rocky Mountain Power has a bunch of cash back incentives. If you find yourself needing a new appliance, water heater, insulation and even light bulbs, make sure to visit the Watt Smart section of their website. If you’re going to purchase a new appliance you might as well be armed with the knowledge of which ones qualify. Also, consider buying these items online using a cash back app. Doing so will add another 3-7% savings.

Challenge yourself to start with just a few money saving ideas and the next thing you know you’ll be hooked and on the road to making saving money, instead of spending it, your instant gratification. l

Home Makeover: Uninspired Edition

I

f researchers study my genetic make-up, they’ll find a preponderance of genes that create a longing for candy and silence, and a disturbing lack of genes related to interior design and holiday decorating.

When my kids were little, my decorating style was what I called Sticky Chic or Bohemian Toddler. As they grew into teenagers, my design concepts alternated between Early Landfill and Festive Asylum.

Now, my style is what I lovingly call Dust.

Before Pinterest was a thing, I’d scour magazines for ways to make my home look pleasant that didn’t involve renting a bulldozer or spending $5,000. Now I’ll spend hours on Pinterest, scrolling through images of beautiful kitchens and bathrooms; then I’ll purchase a new garbage can and call it good.

I’m amazed by people who can look at a room and visualize décor that belongs in Good Housekeeping because people who visit my home usually ask if I get my decorating ideas from Mad magazine. I just don’t have an eye for that kind of stuff. My genes have no idea

what to do with throw pillows. How can you sit on a couch with 27 throw pillows?

Someone once said, “Design is thinking made visual.” If my thinking could be made visual I’m afraid it would include a lot of blank and/or confused stares, accompanied by slow blinking.

I know a woman who used a handful of matchsticks and a pound of year-old taffy to sculpt a quaint Halloween yard display.

For Christmas, she twisted three green pipecleaners into a full-size holiday tree, and then adorned it with a dozen hand-knitted baby quail. She leaves a trail of glitter wherever she goes. I hate her.

To me, decorating means finding kitchen tile that camouflages spaghetti stains or changing out the family photo that is 10 years old. I have no idea how to arrange lovely accent pieces. If I’m feeling a little wild, I might invest in a scented candle.

I was recently asked to help create fun table decorations using crinkly paper strips and plastic flowers. I dumped what I thought was an appropriate amount of paperage and flowers on the table, but my centerpiece looked like a crinkly green nest that had been attacked by crows.

The woman in charge of the event walked up to my “decorated” tables and let out a gasp.

She quickly rearranged four strands of the crinkly paper and suddenly the whole table transformed into a fairy wonderland with twinkly lights and butterflies. A real decorator

defies the laws of physics.

Halloween decorating is easy. I already have the cobwebs and spiders. I just sprinkle some blood on the floor and call it good.

Christmas decorating is a little more difficult.

Last year, using my sparse skills, I spent the entire afternoon creating a festive holiday atmosphere in our home. My husband walked in, sipping his Diet Coke, and glanced around the room.

“I thought you were going to decorate.”

I looked at my hours of work and tersely replied, “I did.”

“What’s that pile of crinkly paper strips doing in the middle of the room?”

There was a long pause while I considered the ramifications of manslaughter. “Don’t you have something to do?”

Now that scientists can genetically modify our DNA, perhaps I can get an infusion of the interior design gene. I don’t need to be Martha Stewart level, but at least something a little better than Mad magazine.l
