Westlake hires New new football coach business looking for area foster families

By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer

Westlake High School has recently hired Gary Clark to serve as head football coach. Coach Clark is already familiar with the program having served as the offensive coordinator for the 2011 season under Jason Walker.

Clark has a long history of coaching football. He led as head coach at Kealakehe High in Hawaii. He also coached in Arizona, and for a number of years at in-state rival Timpview, where he served as an assistant coach. In 1998 he was awarded the NFL

High School Coach of the Year Award, after being nominated by a former player that ended up going professional.

Michael O’Connor, athletic director at Westlake, commented on Clark’s hiring, stating, “Coach Clark will do an outstanding job continuing to build our football program. We are excited to have him here. He brings with him plenty of experience both from in the state of Utah and Hawaii. He is definitely making his mark with his focus on discipline both in the classroom and as a member of the Thunder football team.”

O’Connor continues, “Coach Clark is on staff teaching all of our

weight lifting classes. He is an outstanding teacher in the classroom and that absolutely transfers onto the football field.”

“Our young men at Westlake High School are excited to have Coach Clark and expect to continue the winning ways here at Westlake High School,” O’Connor notes. “The expectation is to only get better year after year. We have a very supportive community for the football program and that is evident every Friday night under the lights at Westlake High School. The atmosphere is outstanding and we encourage our communities to continue coming out to watch Westlake football.”

Polar Plunge 2012

Adney Reid has a lot of background in the therapeutic work field. He received his bachelor’s degree in social work, followed by a master’s degree, and was certified as a licensed clinical social worker.

He has worked as a therapist with both youth and adults.

Eugene Marshall is also a licensed clinical social worker that has spent years of his life guiding youth through therapy and currently has his own private practice.

Now Reid and Marshall, along with Reid’s wife, have opened Redwood Therapy and Youth Services, a business aiming to help area youth.

Currently Redwood Therapy and Youth Serves is looking for those willing to open their homes to youth by becoming foster families.

Reid states, “We are hoping to find great families willing to serve as foster families for youth in state custody.

Additionally we strive to offer incredible support for not only the foster children that enter into our program, but for the foster families as well, so it can be a comfortable and successful environment for all those that are involved.”

Children that are placed come from a variety of backgrounds. There are also children of all ages. These are kids that have been removed from their families by the state, either through the Department of Juvenile Justice Services or Department of Child and Family Services.

It is important to Reid that both the child and the foster family feel like the match is a good one. Once placed Red-

wood Therapy and Youth Services continues to work with the family by being a liaison between those that have an interest in the child, including the child’s natural family and the assigned state worker. The business would also provide a therapist if needed, and will continue to reach out to the family to see how the child is adjusting to the new home.

Children that are considered to be dangerous to themselves or others are not placed with a foster family.

Compensation, starting at $820 a month, is provided for those families chosen to participate, but as Reid states, “Financial compensation is not intended to be the driving force for our families to provide this service. We are looking for genuine families who are willing to truly care for children in the foster care program.”

Interested families would be required by the state to take 32 hours of training before receiving a child in their home.

They would also have to pass a background check, and be evaluated by a mental health professional to make sure the home would be a healthy environment.

Redwood Therapy and Youth Services is also working with Eagle Mountain to help youth. They will be a very active participant in this year’s Pony Express Days, where the theme is “Fostering the community with love.” Says Reid, “Please know there is a great need not only for foster families, but for great foster families.”

What do you think ?

There is a national crisis in American education. Did you know that one in three students does not graduate from high school? There are many reasons that students drop out of school and the causes are often rooted in social or family conditions. A recent article in the “Public Forum” of the Salt Lake Tribune called on students to sue the schools for not educating them. However, there have been many responses to that initial article. Most opinions are that education is what you make of it. If you work hard throughout your public schooling, you will be rewarded with knowledge. Others feel parents need to do their part before suing the schools.

What do you think you need to do as a parent to help your child succeed in school?

“I have a preschooler and I do agree that parents have an important role is their child’s education. They can’t just leave it up to the school. I have a very active role in my child’s education. I’m in a co-op program for our preschool, so we teach our kids ourselves. I’m seriously considering home school.”

-Mandy Young Saratoga Springs

“I’m pretty against suing, but I think parents have a huge responsibility. I think what parents do at home is even more important than what school their kids go to.”

-Lashel Thompson Lehi

“I sit down with my children every day after school, Monday through Friday. I think parents need to teach that education is important and help them understand that that’s how they’re going to succeed in school and have a good life.”

-Carol Cahoon Eagle Mountain

“I took my kids out of regular public school and put them in a charter school. I still have to be on top of my kids as far as homework is concerned. I don’t think that suing the schools is going to solve the problem.”

-Stephanie Hughes Lehi

“I think it’s important that as a parent you make sure that you have an active role in their education. Get to know their teachers. Know what their assignments are. It’s important to instill in them while they’re young that you expect them to go to college.”

-Karinne Talbot Eagle Mountain

EM City Council Notes Jack and Jill Bowling in Lehi to offer a youth bowling instruction program. Registration is open now and information and registration is available on the city website.

Woman of the Year recommendations are now open. If you know a woman in Eagle Mountain who has done outstanding service in their home, community or school that you think deserves recognition, be sure to nominate them for the 2012 Woman of the Year award. Nominations are due March 1, 2012. This award is to be kept secret, even to the winner, until the presentation at the Miss Eagle Mountain Pageant on April 7, 2012. Nomination forms are available in the News section on the city website.

After the upcoming events were announced, time was opened for public comments. There were no comments given so the meeting continued on to the consent agenda.

The consent agenda included that Daniela Camacho would be filling the Planning Commission term vacated by Bonnie ElHalta for a 1 year term; the minutes from the January 24, 2012 City Council Meeting, a settlement agreement for the ratification of Brian Olsen, and the reimbursement agreement for the UDOT Waterline installment across SR 73 to incorporate future availability of water for commercial purposes to the north side of SR 73.

Mayor Jackson proposed for the Bid Award – Consideration and award of bid to Powell Electrical Systems Inc. for purchase of a 15 kV metal clad switchgear for the south substation to be included in the consent agenda. Councilmember John Painter moved and Councilmember Ochsenhirt seconded the motion. The bid award has to do with the construction of the new south substation.

There was no discussion on the

consent agenda, so they proceeded to vote unanimously to approve all items within.

Consideration to award the bid to Great Western Park and Playground Company for the construction of seating for the rodeo arena.

It was motioned and seconded to deny the award of this bid. The vote was unanimous in agreement to deny this award.

As per discussion during the earlier work session on the budget, the proposed bid for the construction of a permanent seating structure for the rodeo arena was rejected as the staff had reviewed all the options available to the city for a bleacher system on the rodeo grounds. After discussion, there was found to be less costly alternatives for at least a 10-year time frame that would enable the city to more fully evaluate and plan for a permanent facility, including arena seating. For now, seating for rent has been located for about $40,000 less than what was in the budget. Less costly permanent seating is also being explored for future use.

City Council then was open for comments for further discussion.

There were no comments given.

Mayor Jackson expressed her appreciation to the many people who attended to the meeting, as there is not usually as many as there were in attendance at this meeting.

She also noted that she expects to see rate studies this year on basically all of utilities. These will become available for public review before it comes under City Council for a vote.

The meeting was then adjourned at 7:17 p.m. There was time recorded on the agenda for the continuation of discussion on the budget, however they had completed discussion during the previous meeting and had no more comments.

Common Sense with Jeff & Nikki Wickman

Mountain and Saratoga Springs trying to get to work, school, and sporting events on time. It is very busy and very dangerous, especially around the schools.

This road should be four lanes from beginning to end, which is actually part of Eagle Mountain’s long-term development plan. Unfortunately, nobody is focusing on it right now. We are sure that UDOT would get involved if they were aware what a significant commuter and child safety problem this road is.

If Eagle Mountain, Saratoga Springs, and UDOT combined their time, efforts, and money to work together on this one road, it could be widened fairly soon, greatly adding to the quality of life for residents living in both cities.

It only makes Common Sense to expand Pony Express Parkway for the benefit of all residents in Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs.

By Danielle Palmer Staff Writer

February 7, 2012 Eagle Mountain City Council held a policy session on February 7, 2012. During the work session from 4 to 6 p.m., the 2012-2013 budget was discussed. The final budget is to be adopted completely by May or June of this year.

At 7:07 pm, Mayor Heather Jackson called the policy session of the City Council meeting to order.

All in attendance at the meeting included Councilmembers Donna Burnham, Nathan Ochsenhirt, John Painter, and Richard Steinkopf.

Council Member Ryan Ireland attended by phone from his home, as he was feeling under the weather.

The following information items and upcoming events were announced by Mayor Jackson.

The city mobile application will be available in the Android and IOS markets beginning Monday, February 13. The mobile application will provide smartphone users easy access to city departments, businesses, parks and recreation, and more. The service request feature allows users to report problems such as potholes or street lights out using your phone. They are very excited about this new feature.

A sports program survey will be available on the city website through February 29. It will only take a couple of minutes to complete.

Youth baseball registration is open and will be open until February 27. There will be late registration from February 28 through March 6. Registration is available on the city website or in person at city hall.

Youth bowling is now available. The city has partnered with

A few months ago, we attended a UDOT open-house meeting in Saratoga Springs. It is not surprising that, after the widening of Redwood Road and SR-73, and the opening of Pioneer Crossing and 2100 North, UDOT continues to be concerned about the need for speedy, safe access into and out of our area.

It is surprising, however, to learn that the UDOT employee time and money designated for our area are being spent to design a new northwest diagonal road from the west end of Pioneer Crossing to the intersection of 800 West and SR-73.

What an unnecessary waste of time and money for future residents to be able to save two seconds getting to SR-73 from Pioneer Crossing, when there is a much greater need for an improved road right now, for current residents.

Pony Express Parkway is a major commuter road, starting at Eagle Mountain City Center, passing through The Ranches, and ending just past Vista Heights Middle School and Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs. It is used mostly

by Eagle Mountain commuters and parents and teenagers of both Eagle

SS City Council Notes

By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer

February 7, 2012 The meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, Mayor Mia Love and city staff.

Awards and recognitions Mayor Mia Love swore in three new city police officers. Jason Ruch came from American Fork with three and a half years of experience. Derek Dalton had served the past year and a half as a deputy sheriff. He had also served for seven years with the Utah National Guard. Lastly, Michael Terry joined the force from Tooele. These officers filled recently vacated positions.

Police Chief Gary Hicken also noted that Donna Moreau had also been hired recently as a new parttime records clerk.

Public comment A local resident stood and thanked the City Council for the unique play equipment in the newly built Neptune Park (located on 400 North). She had taken her family there recently and enjoyed equipment that was as much for adults and older children as for the younger set.

Policy items Consent calendar Councilwoman Shellie Baertsch corrected minutes from a previous meeting.

Councilwoman Rebecca Call asked if a six-foot fence topped with barbed wire was the only option to keep a newly constructed water reservoir secure. She said the reservoir abutted a residential area and that the fencing did not look attractive.

The consent calendar was unanimously approved omitting sections A, C, D, and G. The remaining sections of the consent calendar were then discussed.

Councilman Michael McOmber stated concerns about the drive-thru lane at the proposed Kneader’s restaurant. He thought it was not long enough. He also noted that the city required an area set aside for deliveries and he did not see it on the plans.

The applicant noted that the drive-thru lane was adequate as Kneader’s moves drivers quickly through the queue line. He also noted that deliveries were only made after hours.

Kneader’s plans were unanimously approved.

The North Shore Terminal Reservoir site plan was then dis-

GRATIS

cussed. A representative from the Central Water Conservancy District stated that Homeland Security instructed culinary water providers on how best to protect the public’s drinking water reservoirs. He thought the fence topped with barbed wire was the safest option.

The site plan was unanimously approved.

The Harvest Village Lot 3 site plan was then discussed.

Baertsch voiced concerns over a duplicate fence, adequate parking and the possibility of basement storage space eventually becoming additional office space (further compounding a possible parking space shortage). She also disliked the dumpster being out in the open.

The applicant assured her that the basement space could not be turned into office space because of a 7.5-foot ceiling. He also clarified that the dumpster would be concealed by a cement wall.

Then there was an extended discussion on whether the Harvest Village plan met the city’s requirement for parking stalls. Discussion surrounded whether tandem parking and parking spaces within a garage should be included in the parking stall count.

City staff explained that if the city honored the shared parking agreement entered into in 2008, then the applicant was compliant with city code.

The site plan was unanimously approved. But the City Council did agree that the parking requirements should be reviewed and possibly changed for future site plan approvals.

Revised Concept Plan for Saratoga Hills Villas PUD, located at approximately 350 West Grandview Boulevard, Jeff Mansell, applicant.

City staff reported that the new concept plan included 85 detached units. The land was zoned R-3 (low-density residential). The concept plan had a density of 3.16 units per acre. He also noted that the plan included 50 percent open space, but that much of that land had 30 percent slopes.

The homes would have between 2,400 and 3,000 square feet.

City staff also noted that originally the developer had submitted a concept plan with over 100 units.

But after holding a neighborhood meeting, he reduced his density.

Councilman Bud Poduska stated that he liked the bigger homes and thought the development would be an asset to the community.

Councilman Jim Miller stressed the need for a secondary

ALL ALL ALL ALL

GOOD 2/02/11 ANSWER: Good looking

access road for the Saratoga Hills development.

McOmber disagreed with the PUD overlay of the plan (Planned Unit Development). He said the applicant was still trying to create higher density housing in the R-3 zone. He noted that a PUD overlay allowed all setbacks to be dissolved (meaning that houses could be built closer together and be closer to the street).

McOmber (who lives nearby the proposed development) also reminded the council that for years, residents have seen a sign on the property stating that the land would someday contain only 54 homes on .25-acre plus lots.

That is what residents expected and the applicant should be required to respect the R-3 zone, McOmber concluded.

Call stated the need to balance the interests of existing residents, as well as developers. She appreciated the applicant’s willingness to meet with the residents and reduce the density.

Baertsch was concerned about the lack of usable open space. She thought more could have been done to reduce the density.

Resolution R12-4 (2-7-12): A resolution appointing a member to the Library Advisory Board and establishing an effective date.

Jeff Grover was unanimously approved to serve on the library board.

Resolution R12-5 (2-7-12): A resolution appointing the City Recorder and City Treasurer for the City of Saratoga Springs and establishing an effective date.

Lori Yates was unanimously approved as city recorder and Debra Elms as treasurer.

Resolution R12-6 (2-7-12): A resolution appointing a Mayor Pro-Tempore for the City of Saratoga Springs and establishing an effective date.

Michael McOmber was unanimously approved to serve as mayor pro-tempore for the coming year.

Reports Call reported that she recently attended “Pancakes and Politics.”

Other government officials there claimed that UDOT had no plans of ever bringing the Mountain View Corridor down to Saratoga Springs.

Mayor Love stated that those officials were from the east side and did not know what they were talking about. When you talk to representatives from the west side (i.e., Riverton), the MVC is very much a reality, Love surmised.

Love closed the meeting by commending Miller’s efforts in bringing Kneader’s Bakery and Café to Saratoga Springs.

Dear Lizzie Bistro

By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review

Some girls might call themselves “girly girls” and I’m guessing these types really like the frills. I know of a place called Dear Lizzie that any girly girl would love, but I’m thinking that one of my favorite fictional characters would especially love it. Can you guess who? Fancy Nancy, of course. She would love Dear Lizzie.

Dear Lizzie is a store/bistro that caters to “celebrating the joys of being a girl.” I think if Dear Lizzie were a fictional place, Fancy Nancy would be in fancy heaven. This place is what her dreams are made of; frills, fluff, glitter and all that jazz, and it even has French music playing in the background.

Located in Highland, when I first walked in I had no idea there was a bistro in the back. Dear Lizzie is really focused on indulgence. Let me tell you some of the things that are offered: fashion for her, home delights (artful accents), pamper me products, vintage finds, and, of course, the bistro.

Upon entering, I almost felt as if I was stepping back in time, as a little girl sneaking into my grandma’s attic

which was full of the coolest treasures that any little girl could imagine.

I also can imagine my mother saying, “Don’t touch.” But guess what?

Here, at Dear Lizzie’s, I’m grown up and yes, I can touch. You want to touch everything because it’s either smooth, silky, soft, or curious. Really the senses come alive. You will find yourself thinking, “Should I smell or feel or just look at?”

Luckily Dear Lizzie has some benefits of not being in an attic… like good smells and no cobwebs, for instance. They combine unique with old and new, pleasant scents waft through the air, and I didn’t see any dust or cobwebs.

After you are lost in this maze of whimsy, you find yourself in a wonderland of decadent looking cupcakes and other sweets. It’s then that you’ve come to the bistro. This is only open for lunch, daily, 11-3.

Menu options include sandwiches, soups and salads, specialty drinks and divine desserts. It’s a very simple menu, but I wouldn’t say all of the options are just normal. I had the turkey pesto on toasted baguette and a cup of creamy potato soup. The turkey pesto was served warm and golden brown with melted cheese on top and olive oil soaked into the baguette. The flavors blended nicely

together. It was not a lot, but a nice start to the meal. The soup was hearty and delicious, with a comforting taste and together both filled me up. I think the servings are definitely girl, not boy, size.

I also tried their avocado turkey on flat bread. It was not too exciting, simply a turkey avocado that tasted like… a turkey avocado. I guess there’s nothing wrong with that.

Everything was fresh and flavorful. I have no idea why I was expecting more, it was called a turkey avocado, after all. The tables were all unique, with white linen tablecloths, little salt and pepper shakers, and everything was served on breakables. How cool is that? It’s nice to eat somewhere, once in a while where you feel like a kid playing tea party with the breakable china and wares. It made us feel extra fancy. The menu choices are somewhat unique and creative and are presented beautifully, and the extra extravagant decor really created a fun setting.

Even though this place is definitely for girls, I didn’t know that when I went there, and I dragged my husband along. Luckily he’s man enough to handle such a girly place and actually I think he thought it was cool too. The bistro did have a romantic feel to it so I would definite-

ly say it could be a nice place for a lunch date- especially if a guy wants to impress his girly girl. For me, not being a girly girl in the least, it was more fun thinking about a step back in time, to being a little girl once again and enjoying the excitement of all things pretend.

Fancy Nancy or Tomboy Kim, Dear Lizzie is just a nice place to go with the girly girls or the romantic

man. And if you’re a Fancy Nancy fan, it’s très belle et très bonne (that’s French for very beautiful and very good).

Dear Lizzie Bistro is open daily from 11-3. They also offer parties of all kinds and Afternoon Tea on Tuesdays. Reservations required. Store hours are different.

Located at 10953 N. Alpine Hwy, Highland.
