Next month, October 18-30, Roy City will make the dumpsters available for disposing of your trash and green waste. They will be in the Public Works Department area on 2700 West. There is no cost for you to use them, but you must bring your waste to the Public Works facility.

Consider helping your neighbor if they cannot help themselves. There are a couple of restrictions, so please read the rules on the city’s website under Community Programs. It is important to start planning now.

With summer winding down and outdoor recreational activities ending, remember the city placed five RV dump stations in front of the Public Works Administration building at 2626 W 5525 S in Roy. They are open any time you need to use them.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues, so be safe and keep your family safe.

Roy City Municipal Building

Keeping up with Growth We are growing...and in more ways than one.

For example, Midland Square and West Roy is nearing completion. The project involves about 80 townhomes and 2.5 acres of commercial property yet to be developed.

The council also recently approved a rezone property at about 1900 W. and Hinckley Drive. This rezone will allow for about 80 townhomes to be built on the north Roy border. It is the intent of the mayor and council that these projects will add affordable housing to our community.

In addition to these residential home unit projects, the city also has several commercial projects in the works, including the recently announced Cajun Seafood and Bar, which will be built next to the Ocean Mart grocery store.

Other commercial projects set for Roy include the new Fast Signs building on 1900 W. and the recent purchase of the old Firestone building. The next several years will be a challenge as work draws closer to widening 5600 S. That project will include a new freeway interchange for Roy city.

Despite COVID-19, the city has experienced a growth in its sales tax revenues by 8.6%. The hard job will be to balance the growth with that same community feel we have all become accustomed to over the years. Roy is growing.

Is there a beep or a chirp coming out of your smoke or carbon monoxide alarm? What does it all mean?

Knowing the difference can save you, your home, and your family! Make sure everyone in the home understands the sounds of the smoke and carbon monoxide alarms and knows how to respond.

Learn the sounds of your smoke and carbon monoxide alarms by checking the user guide or search the brand and model online.

What is your alarm telling you?

SMOKE ALARMS

• A continued set of three loud beeps—beep, beep, beep—means smoke or fire. Get out, call 9-1-1, and stay out.

• A single “chirp” every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be changed.

• All smoke alarms must be replaced after 10 years.

• Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) ALARMS

• A continuous set of four loud beeps—beep, beep, beep, beep—means carbon monoxide is present in your home.

Go outside, call 9-1-1 and stay out.

• A single chirp every 30 or 60 seconds means the battery is low and must be replaced.

• CO alarms also have “end of life” sounds that vary by manufacturer. This means it’s time to get a new CO alarm.

• Chirping that continues after the battery has been replaced means the alarm is at the end of its life and the unit must be replaced.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK™ 6 royconnection.com | September 2021

Make sure your smoke and CO alarms meet the needs of everyone in your home, including those with sensory or physical disabilities.

Some tips: ✔ Install a bedside alert device that responds to the sound of the smoke and CO alarms. Use of a low frequency alarm can also wake a sleeping person with mild to severe hearing loss. ✔ Sleep with your mobility device, glasses, and phone close to your bed. ✔ Keep pathways like hallways lit with night lights and free from clutter to make sure everyone can get out safely.

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK™ The

Family’s Home Safety Action Plan

ACTION #1 Make the first Saturday of each month “Smoke Alarm Saturday”!

A working smoke alarm will clue you in that there is a fire and you need to escape. Fire moves fast.

You and your family could have only minutes to get out safely once the smoke alarm sounds.

• Smoke alarms should be installed in every sleeping room, outside each sleeping area, and on every

CH

level of the home, including the basement.

• Test all of your smoke alarms by pushing the test button. If it makes a loud beep, beep, beep sound, you know it’s working. If there is no sound or the sound is low, it’s time to replace the battery.

If the smoke alarm is older than 10 years old, you need to replace the whole unit.

CH IR • If your smoke alarm makes a “chirp,” that means it needs a new battery. Change the P! battery right away.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound of the alarm and what to do when it sounds. (See ACTION #2.)

IR

P!

ACTION #2 Develop a home fire escape plan and practice it at least twice a year!

Having a home fire escape plan will make sure everyone knows what to do when the smoke alarm sounds so they can get out safely.

• Draw a map of your home, marking two ways out of each room, including windows and doors.

• Children, older adults, and people with disabilities may need assistance to wake up and get out.

• • • •

Make sure they are part of the plan.

Make sure all escape routes are clear and that doors and windows open easily.

Pick an outside meeting place (something permanent like a neighbor’s house, a light post, mailbox, or stop sign) that is a safe distance in front of your home where everyone can meet.

Everyone in the home should know the fire department’s emergency number and how to call once they are safely outside.

Practice! Practice! Practice! Practice day and nighttime home fire drills. Share your home escape plans with BEE P! overnight guests.

BEEP!

BE EP !

REMEMBER:

When You Hear a Beep, Get On Your Feet!

Get out and stay out. Call 9-1-1 from your outside meeting place.

Hear a Chirp, Make a Change!

A chirping alarm needs attention. Replace the batteries or the entire alarm if it is older than 10 years old. If you don’t remember how old it is, replace it.

Planning Commission Vacancy Notice Roy City is seeking individuals to fill two vacancies on its volunteer planning commission.

The nine-member planning commission (seven full members and two alternates) serve as the authority on land use matters as well as a citizen advisory body, which makes recommendations to the city council on changes to the general plan, city land use ordinance, rezones, and other land use matters.

The Roy City Planning Commission reflects a broad range of neighborhoods, professional and community experience and perspectives, and seeks to be representative of the cultural diversity of the Roy City community. The commission is seeking candidates with interests in community planning, urban design or housing development, and who are residents of the city.

Participation requires a time commitment of approximately 10-15 hours per month. Commissioners prepare for meetings by reviewing a variety of maps and technical information and making site visits. This includes regular attendance at meetings held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, at 6 p.m., at City Hall. Time is spent reviewing materials for each meeting and other pertinent meetings as required.

For information regarding this opportunity, individuals may contact Steve Parkinson, Planning & Zoning Administrator, by phone at 801-774-1027, by email at sparkinson@royutah.org, or by mail at Roy City Hall, 5051 S. 1900 W., Roy, UT 84067.

Interested individuals must submit an Application for Appointment and a current resume.

For more information about the city's planning commission, including links to meeting agendas and minutes, please visit: royutah.org/AgendaCenter To learn more about the planning commission please visit: royutah.org/153/Planning-Commission

Just a quick reminder from Public Works: Roy City

Code 4-3-3 says that trees need to be trimmed to allow 13 feet of clearance over the street and 7 ½ feet over the sidewalk. We have noticed throughout the city that there are many trees that are blocking stop signs, sidewalks, and streets. Not only does this not allow access to the street sweeper and garbage trucks, but with winter coming, it is important that these be trimmed back to allow the plows access to push snow curb to curb.

TWENTIETH ANNIVERSARY 2001-2021

It's been 20 years; do we still

REMEMBER?

BY HAILEY MINTON

Roy firefighters reflect on how the terrorist attack changed America and how we have changed since.

In years past, the Roy Fire Department and Police Department have done a 9/11 memorial in front of Station 31 on 1900 W. They always start at 6:46 a.m., the time when the first plane struck the first tower (everyone is invited, by the way). But this year, they and other organizations are doing that and more, since it is the 20-year anniversary of the attack. Jake Rast is the Battalion Chief from the Roy department, and he is helping to bring all the fire departments in Weber County together for the Weber Remembers 9/11 Event.

Jake was in high school on the day of the attack. He was young, but he remembers how it made him feel. “I can remember that day like it was yesterday. It brought our nation together.”

He wants to honor all those who died, along with those who helped amid the devastation. Firefighters, police officers, doctors, nurses, search-dog teams looking for survivors; they all stepped forward to help their neighbor.

12 royconnection.com | September 2021

“I’m very patriotic,” said Jake. “I have a flag at my house year round.” He explained his patriotism stems from being surrounded by people who are willing to help others. “I think there are many great people around us.” Personally, my world exists with the people I interact with on a regular basis, and it’s certainly not the same as Jake. My circle doesn’t include those people as much as it does him. Just because we aren’t aware of the good that’s happening around us doesn’t mean it doesn't exist. “Roy is a great place.” He said, “There are a lot of great people in Roy. The firefighters love to serve the citizens. We just do whatever we can to serve to the best of our abilities.”

Some of the other Roy firefighters reflected on the attack and what has transpired since. Ryan Law had nearly finished getting his certifications to become a firefighter when it happened. “There were a few people I knew from that class who quit right there after watching. I don’t know if it was family pressure or they were just scared.” When he later applied for the Roy Fire Department, he tested against 400 people for five part-time jobs. “There were a lot of people

"WHAT HAPPENED THAT DAY ROCKED AMERICA...

who wanted to be firefighters, along with the people who had been out of it for a while but still had their certifications.

People just wanted to serve somehow. This was the one time where it didn’t matter if you were Republican or Democrat, everyone was on the same page. We all came together.”

Kasey Adams said, “It didn’t matter who you were. We were all Americans. It lasted for a little while after, but then we started becoming divided.” He was in 5th grade when it happened.

Later, he went through Paramedic School with the Battalion Chief from Salt Lake City, who helped at Ground Zero. Kasey explained that a lot of first responders, including the Battalion Chief who taught him, are now sick and feeling the effects of being exposed to the pile. The Ground Zero dust was a cloud of carcinogens – soot, benzene, pulverized cement, asbestos, heavy metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and dioxins.

There have been many cases of young, healthy workers developing cancer seemingly out of the blue. Michael Thun, director of epidemiological research at the American Cancer Society, along with other cancer experts, argue that the cancer incidence among monitored individuals who helped at Ground Zero cannot be called a coincidence.

“A lot of people have been dying from weird cancers who helped out that day,” said Shane Erisoty. “That has caused us to look into cancer prevention.” Both Kasey and Shane wished there was more that could be done to help those feeling the effects of that exposure. In 2018, the U.S. Fire Administration rewrote a document on the Safety and Health Considerations for the Design of Fire and Emergency Medical Services Stations. The idea is to keep equipment and gear that has been exposed to carcinogens separate from the living quarters of the firefighters.

Another change that came in the aftermath of the attack was

the nationally standardized communication system. Shane Said, “I guess they had a lot of issues when people from New York and New Jersey and all sorts of different departments used their weird 10 codes. Nobody could communicate well together...Instead of saying ‘we’re 1020 or 1034,’ we use plain English now.” On the East Coast, fire departments across state lines work together regularly, but here in Utah, fire departments work mostly with the neighboring departments in the state. Regardless, being able to communicate with other departments is clearly essential.

What happened that day rocked America and seemed to evoke empathy in us as a nation. 9/11 Day is an organization that was formed after the attack, and they turned the anniversary into a national day of service. Cindy McGinty lost her husband in the attack and said, “We can’t bring our loved ones back.

But perhaps in tribute, we can work to rekindle the spirit of unity that arose in the aftermath of the attacks.” If you want to take action, visit serve911.org for details about participating in a local food drive, blood drive, 5k or 2k race fundraiser, or a service project.

Weber Remembers 9/11 Project A great way to remember what happened that day is to attend the Weber Remembers 9/11 Project at the Weber County Fairgrounds. All the events are free! The exhibit is an interactive museum experience which uses 304 photo boards that were created to help visitors walk back in time. The time frame covers the late 1990s through the day of the terrorist attack and then into the response recovery time period.

There will be 19 television screens showing different media coverage and videos and 30 different areas of directional sound. The North parking lot will have an exhibit of emergency and military vehicles, where you can take pictures and talk with the professionals.

Live local entertainers will be featured on a stage at the west end of one of the exhibit halls. They need 400 volunteers over the course of the three days, so if you’re interested in helping, visit majorbrenttaylor.com.

+ A LOOK BAC K

The Karz Family, Also Known as Karznovsky

BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY

M

aurice Karz was born September 24, 1919, in what was then Russia but what is now modern-day Minsk, Belarus.

When he was born, he was born Moses Karznovsky.

“My mother used to call me Moishe,” Maurice remembers. His father was Leon Karznovsky, but he went by Lebe; his mother was Framed photo of Maurice Karz Rebekah Greenberg, but her nickname was Rivka. By the time he was walking, his family had left to escape Minsk.

Just two years earlier, Russia was undergoing a revolution.

They forcibly removed the czar, and the Bolsheviks came to power. Wars had torn the city apart, and there was little left for the Karznovsky family. Lebe’s best option was to travel miles away to trade with a local farmer. Trading locally was the best option then, because there were so many currencies, it was hard to keep up with. There was Kerensky money, the Czarist money, Bolshevik money, and foreign money like pounds, dollars, and francs. So, Lebe would raid abandoned buildings and homes for things like silver, gold, or even matches.

The very last scavenging trip he made was one of his biggest hauls. He had to have a nephew help, and together, they traveled by train to sell it all. At the end of the day, he filled his suitcase with around $120.

“And this was in foreign currency,” Maurice remembers, “not in local currency.” So, his mother jumped at the opportunity to finally leave Russia. The family hired a Jewish man to escort them out of their hometown to Poland. He demanded to be paid in the Czarist money because he was mistakenly convinced that the czar would return to power. His payment was worthless, but the Karznovsky family complied and paid him what he asked.

“So, they hired this man with an old horse,” Maurice said.

“Because if he was a good horse, they would have confiscated it a long time ago.”

14 royconnection.com | September 2021

Together, they traveled for a week to get to the border. Along the way, they found two Russian soldiers who seemed to have deserted their post. Mostly out of fear but also out of compassion, they invited them to travel with them to Poland.

They cuddled under the same blankets and shared the same food. At the border, the two revealed that they were actually Polish spies in the Russian Army. They returned the favor to the family for sharing their provisions along the way by giving them seats on a troop train to Warsaw. They had to nail tarps to the broken windows. Otherwise, snow would blow into the train.

Next, they travelled to Rotterdam to board a ship to America.

Again, they were met with storms. By the time they arrived at Ellis Island, Rivka weighed 95 pounds at 5’ 3”, they had 25 dollars, and Maurice was ill. As a result, Maurice was taken from his mother and placed in quarantine for their first week in America. This was also when the Karznovsky family became the Karz family for short.

The family lived in Rochester, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and even Mexico City. Maurice met and married Rebecca, who had three of his children. By the time their eldest, Aviva, was 12, however, they divorced. His wife remarried; her name became Rebecca Rajcany, wife to Frank, who worked at Hill Air Force Base. So, all the Karz children went to live in Roy, Utah. Aviva Gowe grew up, moved away from home, but moved back to Roy in 1992 to raise her teenage daughter, Kirsten Gowe. Kirsten was a student at Roy Jr. and Roy High, all while her grandmother lived nearby. Now, with his child and grandchildren living safe in Roy, Maurice is grateful his parents immigrated to America.

“I think they saved my life and their own life,” Maurice says, “because I'm sure we would have been dead a long time ago.”

community influencer

[in•floo•uhn•ser]

BY RYAN SPELTS

IN THIS ISSUE, we are excited to present to you a group of community influencers. If you

are internet savvy, that term has become more and more ubiquitous as brands the world over seek to get positive impact from an internet “influencer.” If you are less inclined to spend time on social media, this term might be less familiar. The way we define it is the people in our community who have a positive influence over others through their leadership, success, and desire to give back. These members of our community have been nominated by their peers as outstanding performers and leaders. Some are up-and- coming rising stars, and others are long established authorities.

noun 1. a person who influences 2. a person who sha the power to influence many people .3 a mebr of a comunity who sha garned the tsur and tcsper of wofel comunity smebr The thing we have found as we have the unique opportunity to get to know both community and business influencers is that, among these folks, there is a sincere desire to do good. These spotlights have highlighted that desire in many of these influencers, from the choices people make regarding what they will do for work to the extra ways people give back and make an effort to make our community better.

r. Marc Mitton was born and raised in North Ogden, where he met and married his high school sweetheart. While attending medical school, he was diagnosed with melanoma. Having such a personal experience with skin cancer inspired him to do a medical rotation in dermatology. After only a few days, Dr. Mitton knew he had found the right field. The breadth, complexity, and visual nature of medical dermatology, combined with the opportunity to utilize his surgical skills to remove potentially harmful skin cancer, are just a few of the reasons

Learn about emergency preparedness at this local fair and get peace of mind

By Davis Hospital Because of COVID-19, Americans are learning how important it is to be prepared for emergency situations. (Who would have thought that a pandemic would cause so many supply shortages, with toilet paper being the first thing to go?)

Most people know that preparedness brings peace of mind.

But knowing you need to be prepared is different from actually taking steps to prepare for emergency situations.

In their Annual Preparedness Survey last year, the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that “the public has continued building a strong intention to prepare for disasters, yet there remains a critical need to turn it into action.”

The good news is that preparing for an emergency is something that everyone can learn how to do. It starts with seeking the right information so you’ll know what to do. To help you out, Davis Hospital and Layton City are holding their 6th Annual Get Ready Fair, which is free and open to the public.

Here’s a preview of what you can expect — and why you’ll want to attend.

PREPAREDNESS BEGINS WITH A PLAN

If preparing for an emergency feels overwhelming to you, it helps to begin with a plan. Consider what’s most essential to you and your family. What can you afford to contribute toward your emergency preparedness supply each month? What items do you really need? Attending this fair can help you get a better idea of the types of things you should be thinking about when it comes to emergency preparedness.

WHAT ARE YOUR EMERGENCY ESSENTIALS?

When it comes to what’s most essential in an emergency, the answer is different for everyone. Your individual health plays a role. For example, do you rely on an oxygen concentrator?

If so, do you have a backup power supply? What kind of backup power supply is appropriate? Whatever your medical needs are, you’ll want to make sure you have the necessary equipment, batteries, and daily medication on hand. (At least a 30-day supply is best.)

HOW MUCH WATER SHOULD YOU HAVE?

One thing everyone needs is water. Do you have a 3-day supply in your home? Though a 3-day supply is a good start, ready.gov suggests having several days’ worth of drinking water on hand in case of an emergency.

If you have questions about how to store it and for how long, make sure you come to the Get Ready Fair to learn the answers. They will also cover topics such as water filtration and how much water each person needs per day. Time to learn the basics!

DO YOU HAVE ENOUGH FOOD?

Of course, you’re going to need food as well. Ready.gov recommends having several days’ worth of food saved up in case of an emergency. It’s important to have food that’s easy to prepare, nutritious, and enjoyable to eat. (This is especially true if you have young children.)

You’ll also need an alternate method of preparing meals in case you don’t have access to power or natural gas.

SHELTER AND OTHER BASIC NEEDS

Next is shelter. Imagine surviving a winter without power or natural gas — could you do it given the supply you have in stock? And then there’s your sewer system. If your sewer system was unavailable for a period of time, you’d definitely want to know how to take care of your family’s restroom needs.

Even though you have a roof over your head, it’s important to consider all of the intricacies of shelter and how you can prepare for any sort of disaster.

BE PREPARED FOR ANYTHING BY ATTENDING THE 6TH ANNUAL GET READY FAIR

Thinking about disasters may not be your favorite pastime.

No one likes to imagine a scenario when basic necessities aren’t available. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on grocery stores to always carry the supplies you need. Government aid isn’t always immediate. In an emergency situation, you’ll most likely be on your own for at least part of it.

Preparedness is the solution. And you can be prepared for anything that may come your way by visiting this year’s Get Ready Fair.

The 6th Annual Get Ready Fair hosted by Davis Hospital and Layton City will be on Saturday, Sept. 18, 2021, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. In addition to learning about disaster preparedness, injury prevention, and health promotion, you can also choose from several family-friendly educational opportunities, including: — A Critter Clinic for Kids (registration is recommended to reserve your spot) — Car seat safety checks conducted by Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians from Safe Kids Davis County — Scheduled presentations on Early Heart Attack Care, Hands-Only CPR, Stop the Bleed, Stroke Awareness, and Breast Cancer Education (registration is recommended to reserve your spot) — Tours of emergency vehicles, smokehouse education trailers, and earthquake education trailers

Free hot dogs, raffle drawings, and giveaways will happen throughout the day, so come and stay as long as you can! To reserve your spot for an activity, register for free at DavisHospital.net.

DUTCH OVEN FAVORITES Camping or at home, this wonder pot can be used to make a variety of dishes. We have some tried-and-true ones for you to try!

What is it?

A Dutch oven is a thickwalled, lidded pot made with seasoned cast iron.

This type of sturdy cooking vessel has been used for centuries to slow-cook soups, stews, sauces, and breads. Dutch ovens come in cast iron, enameled, aluminum, and ceramic varieties.

Dutch Oven Mountain Dew Chicken Recipe adapted from www.dutchovendude.com.

If your oven hasn’t been calibrated lately, or your roast is on the smaller side, check for doneness at 5-6 hours. Each oven and each roast size vary. More marbling i.e., less meat, could cook quicker. The roast should fall apart when tested with a fork.

BY KRISTINA CASE

This recipe has been modified to cook on the grill instead of the traditional way with charcoal, so you can enjoy it when you’re not camping. It’s one of my kids’ favorite Dutch oven recipes!

1 lb. bacon 1 gallon Zip-loc bag with 1 cup flour & 2 tbsp. Lawry’s 4 chicken breasts, cut in half 4 potatoes, diced 1 bag baby carrots 1 large onion, chopped 1 can Mountain Dew soda ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese Preheat 12-inch Dutch oven by placing on pre-heated grill at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Chop bacon into 1" pieces and add to Dutch oven, then chop onions and add to bacon. Cook until onions are soft and bacon is crispy. Shake chicken breasts in baggie of flour to coat; cook in bacon grease to brown, about 5 minutes, turning a couple times. Add carrots, potatoes, and Mountain Dew, and cook about an hour with lid on. Move chicken to top and sprinkle cheese over the chicken. Cook an additional 10 to 15 minutes.

Traditional Dutch oven cooking method: Cover with lid and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes with ¾ of coals on lid.

Kendal's Dutch Oven Pot Roast

BY KENDAL JENSEN

This recipe can be made in a traditional Dutch oven or an enamled cast iron cooking pot.

3 lbs. beef chuck roast 1 packet dry ranch dressing mix 4 cups of beef stock or 1 Tbsp of beef base (I prefer Minor’s) with 4 cups of hot water 2 yellow onions, cut into chunks 2 Tbsp minced garlic 1 stick of salted butter 2 cups of carrots, cut into chunks 3 cups of russet or red potatoes, cut into chunks I use some salt and pepper and a little oil for searing.

Season roast liberally with salt and pepper on all sides, rubbing seasoning into the meat. Put Dutch oven on the stove and heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sear roast on all sides in olive oil until golden brown. Deglaze Dutch oven with beef stock. Put roast, carrots, potatoes, onions, and garlic in Dutch oven with roast. Sprinkle dry ranch seasoning over roast. Place the cube of butter on top of the roast. Replace the Dutch oven lid and put it in an oven. You can bake it as low as 200 degrees for 8 hours.

If you’d like to cook it faster, you can roast it at 300 degrees for 4-5 hours.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole Adapted from Lillie Eats and Tells

BY HAILEY MINTON

1 medium to large spaghetti squash ½ medium onion diced 1 lb. lean ground turkey 1-2 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 2 tsp Italian seasoning 1 tsp garlic powder 1 14.5-oz can of diced or stewed tomatoes 5 cloves garlic 2-3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped 2 cups (or more!) of cauliflower cream sauce or marinara sauce ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Cut spaghetti squash in half lengthwise, scoop out seeds, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle a touch of salt, and bake in a preheated oven of 400 degrees for 40 minutes. While the squash is baking, heat a large pan with oil and add onions and salt. Cook until tender. Add ground turkey and salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Add tomatoes and the 5 cloves of garlic and cook for 3 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted. When the squash is baked and has cooled a bit, scoop the squash into a Dutch oven and add the meat mixture, sauce, and chopped basil. Mix thoroughly and smooth the top when you’re finished.
