Traffic Relief is Coming

The Roy Connection is published monthly by Connection Publishing©

ith Summer in full swing, the requirement to conserve our water resources could not be more important. The regional drought is upon us, and each of us must do our part. The city council passed a resolution last month requesting us to not water our lawns between the hours of 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Please make sure you help preserve our water resources.

As I mentioned in the June 2021 issue of the Roy Connection, the Utah Transportation Commission has voted, and Roy’s 5600 South Road (SR-97) project was approved. All indications suggest we will see construction starting in the spring of 2023, lasting two years. It will involve changes to the I-15 Interchange and widening of 5600 S. to five lanes.

To better understand what will be taking place, please go to www.udot.utah.gov/5600SouthEA/.

From this website, click on “Storymap”. There are important details provided on this site.

There will be impacts to both residents and business property owners.

The plan includes a pedestrian bridge at the D&RG Rail Trail over 5600 S., bicycle lanes, and a multi-purpose trail along the south side of 5600. A new signal light on 3100 W. and another pedestrian Hawk Signal light will be placed at the intersection of 2100 W.

EDITORS Brittany Carroll Kassie Baker

To better understand the potential impacts to residents and business properties, you must scroll down the page and click on the “Historic and Right-of-Way Impacts”. This link will provide details of properties that will be involved. Whether full acquisition (yellow) or partial acquisition (red), it will identify the properties affected. Although this design may not be the final one, Roy City will be working with UDOT to help look for possible adjustments and alternatives. We will also help address questions that residents and business owners might have. For two years, this project will be disruptive, but once done, it will provide considerable relief to our traffic challenges in the city.

Drought

This is a hot topic for sure. In visiting with our Roy Conservancy Water District, the concern of running out of water before October 1st is real! Yellow is the new green—let’s wear it with a badge of honor.

Kelly Kopp, USU water conservation and turfgrass specialist, recommends drought watering priorities: • Trees–provide shade, coolness, and oxygen and are the most valuable plants in your landscape • Shrubs—filter dust and pollution and dampen noise • Perennials—roots improve soil • Annuals—pollen for bees and food for hummingbirds • Turfgrass—grasses are the toughest and enter dormancy. 1” of water per week will keep it alive.

Over the past year and a half, the planning commission has been working on updating the city’s general plan.

The Roy City General Plan is an official document intended to help the public understand the broad planning goals for the city and to assist city staff and decision makers as they evaluate future development and growth opportunities.

Updating the general plan provides an opportunity for the citizens of Roy to take a look at the community, to determine what works or requires improvement, and to peer into the future and plan for anticipated change.

Please come help us in the last step before we forward it onto the city council for adoption.

We are pleased to announce that Kortyk Collett from Roy High School is the 1st-place winner of our Roy CTC Youth Council contest, “Don’t Do Drugs, Draw.”

Over twenty entries relating to drug prevention were drawn on the sidewalks in front of Roy High School.

Congratulations, Kortyk!

Thanks for sharing your amazing talent! Kortyke will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card.

The 2nd-place winner scored a $75 gift card. This award went to Gwendolene Batcherlor for her picture of a dragon.

Our 3rd-place winner was Emily Blanchard for the entry, “Do drums not drugs”, and was the lucky winner of a $50 gift card.

Each participant who attended the event entered into a drawing for gift cards from local restaurants, fast food establishments, and Amazon. Our Roy CTC Youth Council members took pleasure in drawing out the names of the 15 gift card winners.

We also want to congratulate all of the students who entered; we were impressed with the many outstanding chalk-art entries. Every student who entered received a color-changing wristband and a key chain.

The Strength of a Youth–The Power of Community The Roy CTC Youth Council’s latest endeavor was raising money for the “School of Addiction Recovery” (SOAR) by participating in a fundraising car wash event at Darren Bideaux RV. Darren Bideaux RV sponsored the event and will match 50% of the money earned from the car wash.

We are certainly proud of our new Roy CTC Youth Council; they are already making a difference in our Roy community.

+ A LOOK BAC K

Early Entrepreneurs: David Norton and David Bailey

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

On the other hand, Norton was adamant about bringing Iomega to Roy. A third friend who joined in the venture, Rod Linton, also agreed. So, David Dunn caved in on his ultimatum but asked that the company do their best to recruit hires outside the Latter Day Saints faith to promote diversity.

Under those circumstances, they made a deal and founded Iomega on the corner of 4000 S and 1900 W. Dunn became the Iomega Board Chairman.

David Norton

David Bailey

David Norton remembers the day Sputnik I launched into space in 1957. Above all, he remembers President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s remarks 20 days later. The President spoke at a ceremony, presenting the first Atoms for Peace Award.

“The rapid growth of science,” Eisenhower said, “now gives men unprecedented power for discovery in the realm of outer space and mind and spirit.” During his presidency, NASA began, and Dr. James. R. Killian became the first Presidential Science Advisor.

David heard a call to college in the president’s words. He studied mechanical engineering at Utah State University.

Then, he went on to get a master’s degree in the same subject.

He also received his doctorate just before starting a job with IBM in Tucson, Arizona. At the time, he worked on what came to be known as the Jaz drive. A man named David Bailey also worked on the same project. The two Davids became fast friends, because Bailey was also a USU alumnus. Bailey had bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electrical engineering.

IBM terminated their project after some time. As a result, Bailey approached Norton and asked him if he’d ever thought of starting his own company. Together, they launched what was originally called Databyte for about a month, but which later became Iomega in 1980. Their first order of business was developing computer storage; however, they also needed funding.

Iomega made a pitch to David Dunn. He is an accomplished venture capitalist, even today. He saw potential in the new company and agreed to be among their first investors. There was one condition, though: Dunn did not want the company to be headquartered in Utah. Since he had a bias against members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, he thought it would be “too much of one thing.”

12 royconnection.com | August 2021

Iomega's first product was a continuation of their abandoned project, the Bernoulli Box; this was a high-capacity disk drive named after an 18th-century Swiss mathematician, Daniel Bernoulli. At the time, the only high-capacity disk drive available was a five-and-a-half-inch, hard-disk drive known as Winchester. Winchesters were vulnerable to minute particles of dirt. If any particle of dirt lodged itself between the magnetic head that reads the data and the disk that holds it, the disk would “head crash” causing total loss of information.

Bernoulli's physics, however, enabled Iomega engineers to design a spinning disk that remained infinitesimally close to the magnetic head, which could bend away from a threatening dirt particle, let it pass by, and keep the head from crashing into the disk. Moreover, the Bernoulli disk was flexible, and more data could be squeezed onto the disk.

The design was revolutionary, and that was just the start.

They also created the zip drive. By 1983, the company went public, raising $21.7 million in an initial public offering and generated $7 million in sales. Soon, it was Utah’s largest high-tech firm earning billions. Iomega merged with Lenovo, and both Davids went on to start more businesses.

Bailey approached Norton and asked him if he’d ever thought of starting his own company.

Together, they launched what was originally called Databyte, but which later became Iomega.

Tara Goodson: Ability Before Disability

BY HAILEY MINTON

Tara Goodson is a lifelong citizen of Roy City, and she loves serving her community. Recently, she won the title of 2021 National Ms. American Coronet.

She has volunteered at Roy Days multiple times and organized food drives to donate to the local food bank and community blessing boxes. She has spent countless hours helping local families at Christmas. Tara is currently collecting donations to help needy families in the community get the back-to-school supplies their children will need in the fall.

Look for her in the Roy Days Parade on Saturday, August 7th. She was nominated to be the grand marshal of the parade. Her sister, Tiffany Goodson, said, “She has been involved in local pageants since 2016, and in May of this year, she won a national title! She is one of only a handful of women with a disability to win a national title within the Miss American Coronet Organization.”

The American Coronet Pageant is an achievement and character-based pageant for women and girls of all ages throughout the United States. It is a program for women and girls who deserve recognition for their leadership and community involvement.

Tara participated in the Ms. Division of the Miss America Coronet Pageant for women between the ages of 29-31 years old. Tara has Down Syndrome, and she was the only participant in her age group with a disability.

Her platform revolves around helping people focus more on abilities instead of disabilities.

She wants to help the world see people for what they can do instead of what they can't.

Congratulations Tara You're Amazing!

HILL AIR FORCE BASE HILL AIR FORCE BASE An update on our local military location An update on our local military location ECONOMIC IMPACT

BY HAILEY MINTON

Not everyone gets a regular roaring reminder of the freedoms we enjoy in the U.S. like we do here in Northern Utah. It seems to be a common perspective among the residents who live within earshot of the planes coming or going from Hill Air Force Base. The roaring of the jets is appreciated instead of being considered a nuisance. “That’s the sound of freedom,” have come out of many residents’ mouths.

Hill Air Force Base estimates their total annual economic impact on the area is over $4.5 billion. It ranks sixth as one of Utah’s major employers, but that only accounts for civilian employment. In 2020, there were 22,566 total personnel working within the base, 5,843 military personnel, 14,312 civilians, and 2,411 contractors. Civilian personnel are federal employees that are not active-duty military personnel.

Contractors are different from civilians because they aren’t government employees. They work for a company that operates at HAFB. Chances are, you know someone who works for Northrop-Grumman, Lockheed Martin, or BAE Systems at HAFB. This leads us to the construction we can see happening at HAFB.

HAFB Feature

We’ve noticed the construction happening at the different gates along the freeway, which got us curious about what they’re building. As I searched for answers, I came across some other interesting information that is worth sharing.

AIR SHOW

The biannual air show was canceled last year, but it will be back in 2022 and is scheduled for June 25th and 26th.

If you’ve never attended, you might need to put it on your bucket list. Beware, next year it’s probably going to have a bigger turnout than ever before. I’ve attended a few, and it was amazing to watch the Thunderbirds perform their aerial maneuvers. The Standard Examiner reported, “According to legislative documents from the 2019 general session, the show provides an approximately $50 million economic impact to Northern Utah.’’ Visitors come from out of state, stay in hotels, eat at restaurants, and visit other businesses.

CONSTRUCTION

The buildings going up just outside the West Gate, like Tru by Hilton Hotel, are a part of the Enhanced Use Lease program that allows the Air Force to lease underutilized land to a private entity. The Air Force uses the money from the rental income to fund additional buildings in the area. In total, there are plans for eight million square feet to be developed over

The roaring of the jets is appreciated instead of being considered a nuisance.

“That’s the sound of freedom,” have come out of many residents’ mouths.

HAFB Feature the next 25 years as part of the EUL. This includes office space, retail outlets, restaurants, and hotels.

You can see the Roy Innovation Center going in by the Aerospace Museum. This is going to be a 231,000-square-foot Northrop Grumman facility. Kendahl Johnson is from the 75th Air Base Wing Public Affairs. In an article he wrote on the HAFB website, it says, “[This] will serve as future headquarters for the aerospace company’s work supporting the Department of Defense Ground Based Strategic Deterrent program. Several additional buildings are in the planning stages, in what will eventually include five new buildings at Hill and more than a million square feet of office and lab facilities. There will be office and administration space for 1,600-plus employees in each building. Brent Christensen is the EUL Chief, and he said, “We are making tremendous progress. The recession set us back some, but we are making great strides forward. By all counts, the Enhanced Use Lease program has been a major success.”

TRAFFIC MITIGATIONS

With growth comes more traffic, and here are the plans to mitigate it: There will be a new interchange and base entry point between the Roy gate at 5600 and the west gate, which is estimated to be completed in 2024. To accommodate the increased traffic in the area, the Roy and I-15 interchange at

5600 South will be widened, with a turn lane and acceleration lane added. A traffic light has also been added to the intersection to improve access to the museum and Northrop development.

HISTORY

As we’re talking about construction, let’s back up to the groundbreaking for construction of Hill Air Force Base, which occurred in 1940. The area was selected to build a permanent air depot for a few reasons. It has good year-round flying weather, and the climate is excellent for aircraft maintenance and material storage. It is also a strategic location inland for protection from possible enemy coastal attacks. The base was named after Major Ployer P. Hill, an early Air Corps Materiel Division pilot who lost his life in 1935 at Wright Field, Ohio, while testing the Boeing Model 299 aircraft. It was a preproduction demonstrator of the B-17 bomber, a bomber used primarily against German targets in World War II. I’ve become friends with a mom who has a daughter the same age as mine. She attends discovery time at our local library, and I found out her husband will be deployed until Christmas. My heart is full of gratitude for all those who serve, along with the families who make sacrifices as well. Thank you for playing a part in preserving the freedoms we enjoy as a country.

100-Year DROUGHT Conditions

BY RYAN SPELTS

It seems like all we hear about lately is water and the drought.

Well, that is if you ignore all the COVID-19 talk. At the risk of repeating all that has already been said, we wanted to give you some information, just in case you have not heard about this already.

Northern Utah had lower-than-average snowpack this year. We also had soil moisture levels lower than ever before recorded; actually, they were the worst ever recorded, meaning that the soil soaked up more of the run-off than expected. In addition to these challenges, you may have noticed that we have had very little rain this year. The clouds have only been willing to open up enough to make the dust on our cars turn into spots.

Most of Utah, along with most of the West, is classified as currently in an exceptional drought, or in other words, the worst level of drought classified by the U.S. government.

This is now being classified as once-in-100-years’ drought conditions.

In order to plan for these types of years, Weber Basin stores water in our reservoirs. In fact, they usually have two years of water on hand, just in case. However, they typically can gather about 70,000 - 80,000-acre feet of water per year from the Weber River for future use. This year, they have only been able to gather 3,000-acre feet of water. A similar poor number has been saved up this year from each of our water ways.

Overall, we are having a terrible water year.

Weber Basin has seen a marked drop in water usage, starting early in July. They have been working with news outlets and community leaders to get the word out, asking residents to reduce usage, and it is working, but more adoption is still needed. This situation is dire and, hopefully, temporary.

Moving to two times per week on your sprinklers is a starting point. You may have to water trees and shrubs more but water your grass less. Buena Tomalino, Landscape Consultant and owner of Basil & Rose Garden shop in Bountiful, says, “Kentucky Blue Grass naturally goes dormant in the summer.

We keep it green by watering. When there is rain, snow, or consistent watering again, it will green up again.” I know many of us are worried about our beautiful grass lawns. At our house, we have been cutting our lawn much longer and watering two times per week, and it is performing remarkably well. After a few weeks of looking like it would die completely, it has greened back up, with the exception of a few very dry spots.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS A combination of lower snow pack, lower soil moisture levels, and little rain has made for a very dry year, or exceptional drought.

I know this is not fun, positive news or what any of us want to hear, because we love our lawns. This is an exceptional year that needs extraordinary action, and we hope you will work on your own personal water usage. We also hope you will not judge your neighbor, who may not follow the regulations as precisely as you would prefer. We do not condone shaming someone for their choices, period. If you want to make a statement, consider getting a sign like one of my neighbors did: “Conserve Water, Go Brown,” and let’s keep praying for rain.

So, what do we do? For one, we are going to lose our secondary water early (the water your sprinklers use).

Weber Basin is still trying to figure out when that will be, because we may not have enough water to make it to the original early cut-off dates. Cities are also considering imposing fines on those who decide to use culinary water (the water that comes out of your faucets) to water their lawns during this drought. By now, we know we shouldn’t water between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., but we are also being asked to only water two times per week.

SPECIAL ARTICLE BROUGHT TO YOU BY AARON T. WARD PERIODONTICS AND DENTAL IMPLANTS

WHAT IS A PERIODONTIST?

What our patients say: Dr. Ward is an exceptional periodontist. He sets very high standards for himself as well as his office staff. When he works, he accepts nothing but the best results.

Why are there so many dental specialists? Knowing which specialist to go to can be confusing. So many of them are now

Aaron T Ward placing dental implants and claim to Advertorial be experts. Even general dentists have advertised being “dental implant specialists”.

A periodontist is a dentist who specializes in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, and in the placement of dental implants. Periodontists are also experts in the treatment of oral inflammation. They receive extensive training in these areas, including three additional years of education beyond dental school. They are familiar with the latest techniques for diagnosing and treating periodontal disease and are also trained in performing cosmetic periodontal procedures.

Periodontists often treat more problematic periodontal cases, such as those with severe gum disease or a complex medical history. They offer a wide range of treatments, such as scaling and root planing (in which the infected surface of the root is cleaned) or root surface debridement (in which damaged

tissue is removed). They can also treat patients with severe gum problems using a range of surgical procedures. In addition, periodontists are specially trained in the placement, maintenance, and repair of dental implants.

Dental implants provide a strong and comfortable replacement for lost teeth. They can’t get decay like natural teeth, but they can still get gum disease. Gum disease around implants leads to bone loss and eventual loss of the dental implant. That is where the periodontist comes in. A periodontist has received extra training to resolve these problems often associated with dental implants. In addition, he or she has also received training in the surgical placement of implants which often requires grafting procedure to ensure a healthy and esthetic result. Make the extra trip to a specialist. It will be worth your time.

16 oz. fresh mozzarella, cut into ⅓-inch slices 5 medium tomatoes, cut into ⅓-inch slices ¾ cup fresh basil ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil Balsamic Reduction Glaze ½ cup balsamic vinegar 1 Tbsp. honey The balsamic reduction glaze doesn’t follow the traditional Italian recipe, but it adds a wonderful bit of tangy sweetness.

To make it, get a small saucepan and add the balsamic vinegar and the honey. Bring it to a boil, then reduce it to a simmer for 10-13 minutes. It should reduce to about ⅛ cup or 3 Tbsp. Keep in mind, it will continue to thicken after you remove it from the heat. Layer the

tomatoes and cheese on a rimmed dish. Pick and wash about ¼ cup of basil leaves and disperse across the top. Drizzle the olive oil and then the balsamic reduction glaze over the dish.

Serve immediately!

+ COMMUNITY of feed because the sheep love it a little too much.

In some cases they could literally eat themselves to death. Even though they have four stomachs, the fourth doesn’t have the ability to pass gas which could have deadly consequences if a sheep overeats.

Meanwhile, the animals still have free range over the fields. The do-it-yourself nature of the zoo allows them more freedom than a traditional, cramped petting zoo. So you can feel assured that you’re feeding and petting well-adjusted farm animals.

In the beginning, there was just Sariah’s mom, Esther.

She was a black sheep raised by Lance and Teresa’s daughter Grace. Esther’s mom wouldn’t take care of her, so Grace bottle fed her. Instead of developing the typical, timid personality of all sheep, Esther was one of the friendliest sheep the Hislop’s ever had.

“She thought she was human,” Grace remembers.

Esther was truly “Mary’s Little Lamb,” following Grace around everywhere. She was even Grace’s escort during Homecoming. From far away she could hear Grace’s call and come running.

A Pig Named GINGER

Even though the Hislop’s have had the property for 25 years, it was only after Esther came around that they could actually start a petting zoo. They set up their first candy dispenser in March 2020. As you could imagine, many people went outside walking at that time and were pleasantly surprised with the impromptu zoo.

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

Down the road from Roy High School there’s a do-it-yourself petting zoo. There’s a black ewe named Sariah, a black lamb named Midnight, a white ewe named Ruth and a red pig named Ginger. For a quarter you can feed them with their feed dispenser that looks a lot like a candy machine.

The sound of the milk jug when you shake it lets the animals know it’s feeding time.

The couple behind the DIY petting zoo, Teresa and Lance Hislop, have also set aside a milk jug. You can shake it to get the animals’ attention. The sound lets them know it’s feeding time. Ginger is so excited to get fed that she’ll crawl under fences as a shortcut to your hand. If you hold your fist above her snout she will sit. The farmers also take care to fill the dispenser with just the right amount of feed for all the animals. They all love the feed so much they’ll eat it straight out of your hand. As a result, they don’t care for any other food and the farmers ask that neighbors avoid feeding the animals anything else. However that also means you can feed them over and over again as long as you have quarters.

It’s important that the Hislop’s maintain the right amount

30 royconnection.com | August 2021

If you stop by, be prepared to meet the Hislop’s too.

Their kitchen window faces towards the zoo so they can see every passerby. They’re happy to tell you all about the animals and their feed. However you won’t see the pioneer sheep Esther. When she gave birth to Sariah and her two litter mates, she experienced complications and died. She is buried near the zoo, because she loved it so much. Her legacy lives on, and her friendly disposition was passed onto Sariah. Then, Sariah gave birth to Midnight. Even Grace’s brother Miles’ pig Ginger has cozied up to humans.

The money they earn from the dispenser has gone to more feed, and, when needed, occasional dispenser repairs and replacements. Plus, there’s the cage around the dispenser to upkeep.

Everyone who passes by has compliments to give the family.

A phone number is listed on the petting zoo directions, and it often receives grateful messages. Sometimes people send pictures of their happy animals feeding. People in the community are blown away by the Hislop’s generosity in sharing their land with their neighbors. The good news is that Hislop’s plan to keep it running as long as they live there.
