Community steps up to support grieving family

By Christy Jepson Writer

Someone once said that the capacity to care is what gives life its deepest significance. The Tenney family of Saratoga Springs has learned over the past several weeks how many people really do care and how many people reach out, especially when tragedy strikes. On January 24, Kevin and Bethany Tenney’s four year old daughter, Brighton “Brighty”, unexpectedly passed away from an unexplained lung infection. Since then, the Tenney family has seen and experienced helping hands and caring hearts from friends, family, strangers, and businesses who have tried to help comfort and give their support to this family in their time of need.

Since the end of January, many acts of kindness have been shown to the Tenney family by: someone suggesting on Facebook to buy gift cards at Tenney’s Pizza to support them during this hard time, making dinners, decorating the yard with hearts and messages, putting

pink ribbons up throughout the neighborhood, donating teddy bears, dropping off flowers, treats, and a Lindon company making a charm with Brighty’s handwritten name, and many more.

“It is unbelievable how many people have reached out to us during this very difficult time. If we didn’t have this support system we would be having a much more difficult time,” says Kevin Tenney.

The Tenney family has since started the Facebook page “Brighton A Day”. On this page it says, “This page was created to honor Brighton Tenney and to make a commitment to “Brighton a Day.” We would love for people to share things they have done or have had done for them to “Brighton a Day.” The goal is for people to do one thing a day for someone to make their day better. If we had a group of people making this commitment, how much better would this world be? On these posts use the hashtag: �#�brightonaday�.”

“I just want to say thank you for grieving with us. Thank you for taking time out of your day to make our day better,” says Tenney. The capacity to care does indeed add more meaning to life.

Snowbird Saga: Two More Lifts in AF Canyon Closer to Realization

By Matthew Gary Milam Writer

The news that a major ski resort in a major ski market is adding two additional ski lifts would not appear on the surface to be major, landmark news, but understanding the background and the plight of both Snowbird and those opposing the plan, during the recent years of this saga, just might make it that way. The problem lies not in the seemingly innocent and pleasant news that more ski lifts will be available for skiers and boarders to access the majestic, ski-able parts of the mighty Wasatch Range, but rather in the

fact that the world-class resort wants to add these additions on land they own in American Fork Canyon.

Some skiers might rejoice at this news, others might be indifferent, but there are those who value and prize what they consider “untouched” areas of American Fork Canyon. Some of these year-round “recreationalists” feel as though the intrusion by the ski resort into the pristine area of wilderness would threaten to create another Park City-like area, leaving that much less untouched

Over 10,000 years ago nomadic hunter-gatherers, members of the Desert Archaic Culture, are believed to have been the earliest inhabitants to wander the Cedar Valley. The Fremont Indians are known to have inhabited the area after these early residents, but recent archeological findings in an area of Eagle Mountain where new development is occurring has revealed the ancient petroglyph art that is evidence of this even-earlier culture. Experts are stating that the petroglyphs could be up to 10,000 years old.

The petroglyph drawings can be found on small lichen-riddled boulders found on the Eagle Mountain housing development site. With just the right light, these drawings reveal aspects about these early Cedar Valley residents from thousands of years ago.

Developers, R.K. Builders, and the Utah Rock Art Research Association have collaborated to protect the ancient petroglyphs. Cedar Valley residents who are passionate about the petroglyphs, Eagle Mountain Assistant City Administrator Paul Jerome and Planning Director Steve Mumford, and the URARA have worked over a long period to protect the find and help bring the petroglyphs to a portions of Utah mountain wilderness available to those who live to explore the beauty of nature without the crowds.

And yet there are other issues than just the threat of the expansion itself.

According to the Provo Herald, American Fork City Councilman Brad Frost claims that the addition of the two lifts might compromise the area’s water quality.

There was once a mine where the lifts are to be built that still harbors hazardous chemicals. However, Dave Fields, vice president of Resort Operations at Snowbird, says that the resort is working on a plan to keep water safe for nearby residents. The Utah County Board of Adjustment gave the City of American Fork two months to work out a water monitoring agreement with Snowbird that will be acceptable to both parties.

Additionally, Councilman Frost is concerned about the forty acres of land that would be disturbed when roads are built and equipment is brought in, making the area a construction zone. According to opponents of Snowbird’s expansion,

safe home. Each petroglyph has been identified, photographed and categorized

by Eagle Mountain. The drawings are geometrical designs and squiggly lines that reveal communication that dates back ten or more millennia.

Steven Acerson, vice president of URARA says that at the site there are 12 random boulders that are fractured and cracked with no way to move them without having them fall apart. His wife, Diana Acerson says, “Some of the rock art is being damaged, being vandalized by shooters.” There are several boulders they are hoping to protect.”

“It hasn’t held up development at all,” says Ryan Kent of J.K. Builders, the ones who made the discovery. In fact, Kent is enthused about the fact that this is the first archeological preservation project on which he has worked—”the first project that has had something significant on it,” he says.

Eagle Mountain has many attractive and enjoyable parks, some of which are specialty parks, such as ones that serve skateboarders and fitness enthusiasts.

The petroglyphs will eventually be part of yet another specialty park that will proudly display the ancient art and have interpretive signage telling about the history and people depicted in this ancient art work.

it’s more than just the addition of the two lifts; warming huts, avalanche control structures, other operational buildings, and a realignment of an existing lift are also part of the deal.

Even though the lifts would be built in American Fork Canyon, there would apparently be no access to the lifts from the canyon. This might be good news for those concerned over what they view as the destruction of wilderness that holds a special place for many who have enjoyed recreational activities there for years.

Yet for skies and snowboarding enthusiasts, the expansion might be viewed as a purely positive addition to the area. If Snowbird’s plans move ahead, the future will tell how positive or negative the expansion will be.

On February 4, the Board of Adjustments held a meeting to discuss Snowbird’s application for the expansion. The next meeting to further discuss the plan will be held on April 7.

Ranches Inching toward City Center, Filling in the Gap Puppy Barn Expansion

Photo by The Crossroads Journal

By Matthew Gary Milam Writer

Having a city hall and library that are out in the semi-remote “City Center” portion of this rapidly-growing community called Eagle Mountain, one might wonder why these important city structures don’t exist more centrally between the two main portions of this largest city (in terms of geographic size) in Utah. It might seem odd to Johnny-come-lately residents of Eagle Mountain that these important municipal centers lay all the way out in the distant reaches of Eagle Mountain, far away from its sister citycounterpart--The Ranches. They might also puzzle over why the area has the unlikely moniker, “City Center.”

After all, the Ranches are much closer to “civilization”--if you will--adjacent to the rest of Utah County, the I-15 Corridor, and in full view of Utah Lake and the Wasatch mountain range, rather than over the hills and beyond in another valley altogether.

Not that City Center is growing at a less-than-impressive rate than the Ranches; it’s just that…well, let’s face it: The Ranches are where there are two gas-station/minimarts, three full-fledged restaurants, a hair cutting establishment, a fitness facility, and other businesses. In City Center, let’s also face it: the closest thing to a commercial establishment is the soda machine that stands outside of the Eagle Mountain City Hall and library.

The Eagle Mountain City Hall and library are housed in a beautiful modern building in City Center, and will probably stay there for a long time. It’s just that if planners were to now choose a location for City Hall today, after all the development that has taken place over the past few years, they might choose the more centrally-located area that is once again starting to grow, known as “Oquirrh Mountain Ranches.”

The Oquirrh Mountain Ranches development began construction back in 2007, but

development had slowed to a snail’s pace because of the troubles with the economy that hit the skids back around that time.

The good news is that development has started up again, south of Unity Pass. The on-again construction of the development is more than just “more growth and development” for Eagle Mountain; it signifies a major effort to bridge the large geographic gap between the two major halves of Eagle Mountain. Many in the community are excited by the prospect. “It’s a big deal for a couple of reasons,” says Steve Mumford, Eagle Mountain Planning director. “The first reason [is that] it’s kind of by the Ranches, basically on the fringes, and it’s going towards the City Center. It’s closing the gap.”

The planned residential development of Oquirrh Mountain Ranches will be more than 140 acres, and its first phase will consist of 50 single family homes. The entire project will consist of a mix of 346 single family homes, cluster homes, and town homes, as well as parks and hillsides--according to R.K. Builders, the ones developing the area. The final plats were approved in August 2015, and digging began for infrastructure in December.

“We’ve seen the market go up and down, and, hopefully, [it] is now on a rebound again, and with the eclectic home styles and the diversity of the community in both building type and amenities…we are really hoping this will be a successful project,” said Ryan Kent of R.K. Builders. Another interesting aspect of the project, according to Planning Director, Mumford, is that there are petroglyphs on the site. They will be preserved and deeded to the city.

Developers are very optimistic about selling the homes that will be built.

“Three-hundred-sixty degree views of mountains, with the addition of a new

school and parks; this is going to be one of the most coveted communities in Utah County,” concludes Ryan Kent of R.K. Builders.

Admit it, there are times when you just want to snuggle a puppy. Time when you want to lift up a little ball of fluff, look into its sweet puppy dog eyes, and just love it to pieces. That’s not always an option.

Especially for those who are living someplace where you can’t keep a dog. Fortunately for them and everyone else, there is Puppy Barn. Whether you’re looking to buy, or just trying to fulfill your puppy fix, you may find what you need there.

The Puppy Barn of American Fork is family-owned and operated. And, as you can see from their Facebook page, they want you to come and spend some time with their marvelous puppies, even if you aren’t going to buy that day. These are people who understand the importance and appeal of puppies. As a result, the store is also a great way to learn about different dog breeds. From cockapoos

to shih tzu-chihuahuas and beyond, this store will give you an education in adorable.

And now, Puppy Barn of American Fork is expanding to better help you find the right fit for your family. Though, as with any business, some reviews are good and some are bad, the people who go there frequently love it. The family aspect of the business really shines through, when you look at the way they help people and puppies find each other. Posts and pictures of happy owners with their dogs, sometimes even a year after the purchase, emphasize the fact that when you buy a dog from Puppy Barn, you are officially part of the Puppy Barn family.

This new expansion will hopefully allow more people to experience the joy of dogs. The Puppy Barn specializes in puppies only, so if you’re looking for a place to buy a bird, a cat, or anything other than a dog, this store isn’t for you, but if you’re looking to find a puppy, go on in. One of those puppies may be waiting just for you.

Speed limit lowered at Highland Blvd. intersection

By Linda Petersen Writer

Improvements are continuing at the intersection of 11800 North and Highland Blvd. Local residents have been concerned for some time about the safety of the intersection. The city hired consultants to do two separate traffic studies after Mailee Anderson, 16, was critically injured at the intersection last May 25, when the vehicle she was riding in was struck by a Jeep.

According to Highland City Administrator Nathan Crane, the studies showed an average speed of 47 mph for southbound traffic on Highland Blvd. and northbound of 41 mph. On Feb. 2, the City Council approved a speed reduction from 45 mph to 35 mph after the two traffic studies determined that a traffic signal would not be warranted at the intersection.

At the Feb. 2 meeting, several residents came forward to express their concerns. Jennifer Moulder said that there are at least 40 children in her neigh-

borhood who are expected to walk to the Ridgeline bus stop, but because of the unsafe intersection most parents drive their children to the bus stop or to the elementary school. The City Council decided to lower the speed limit to 35 mph and to have the area monitored to see if there has been any improvement. City staff members are supposed to report back to the council on March 1.

In addition, on Feb. 16 the City Council authorized city crews to construct a 100-foot median curb (8 inches wide, 7 inches tall) at the intersection to eliminate drivers using the shoulder as a right turn lane. Prior to the approval of the median curb, crews had installed side road warning signs, a flashing speed limit sign and three advanced warning signs at the intersection. The median curb, which will cost $5,000, will be installed on top of the existing asphalt and will have “plowable” ends, meaning that snow plows will be able to go up and over it.

At the Feb. 2 meeting, a preliminary plat for a 60-lot subdivision, Highland Oaks, to be built adjacent to that intersection was also approved.

Business Spotlight: Saratoga Springs Animal

By Michael Young Hospital Writer The Saratoga Springs Animal Hospital promises excellence in service to people, and kindness in care for their pets.

They provide a wide variety of veterinary services for the communities of Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain, Lehi, and the surrounding areas. The hospital got its start back in 2005 by Dr. John Farrer, who saw the need for high-quality veterinary services in the area.

As far as regular medical care, the animal hospital can provide vaccination services, general medical services, and even surgical services for a variety of pets. They also offer several preventative services, such as heartworm and tick prevention for dogs, cats, and other animals.

Some of the other services they provide include wellness programs and

micro-chipping. Micro-chipping is the process of installing a tiny microchip, about the size of a grain of rice, into the loose skin at the back of the neck of a pet. This microchip will allow you to track your pet at any time, providing peace of mind against lost pets. These chips are also useful for pet identification so that lost pets do not end up permanently in shelters.

One service any pet lover can enjoy is the availability of boarding. This allows pets to stay at the hospital during a pet owner’s vacation or other long absence, with a staff that will treat the pet like one of their own. There are a limited number of spots, so be sure to book your slot in advance.

Bible story comes to life on stage

By Christy Jepson Writer

“Go, Go, Go...” see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, a wellknown Bible story, that will be performed on stage at the Hale Center Theater in Orem. This musical is based on the true family story straight from the book of Genesis in the Old Testament and has f themes and lessons that all families can relate to--- love, jealousy, honor and e forgiveness.

New for this production is a Technicolor Plexiglas floor with close to 30,000 LED lights and 84 different controllable sections. “This is a great family show.

Who can beat a story straight from the Bible? It’s a lovely tale of forgiveness and making family a priority above all else,” says Angie Chatelain, who plays one of the narrators.

The two-act musical hardly has any spoken words. It follows the story of Joseph and his coat of many colors and his 11 brothers. Some of the energetic, catchy, toe-tapping popular songs include: Any Dream Will Do, Close Every Door, Those Canaan Days, One More Angel in Heaven and Go, Go, Joseph.

“This production is unique because it

has a modern flare. It is the traditional story, and none of the music is different, but the design and choreography have a different take that I’ve never seen before,” says Jack Shapiro, the actor who plays Joseph. According to Shapiro the high energy show is great for families, especially since the morals learned are faith, family and forgiveness. “So, bring your kids, have a good time, and then talk to them after about what they learned. It can be a great teaching tool,” says Shapiro.

Andrew Lloyd Webber composed the music for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and Tim Rice wrote the lyrics. This was the first time Lloyd Webber and Rice collaborated on a project. This musical made this talented duo very famous. Donny Osmond toured North America in the role of Joseph in 1992. He also starred in the 1999 film that was directed by David Mallet.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat will be opening February 18 and run through April 9 at Hale Center Theater in Orem. Evening Performances start at 7:30 pm, beginning March 19 there will be Saturday matinees at 11 am and 3 pm. Ticket prices range from $1723 and ($6 or $4 less for a child’s ticket).

To order tickets call 801-226-8600 or visit their website at www.haletheater.org.

Lehi Gets Snow Fighting Award

By Linda Petersen Writer

Lehi City has been recognized with a Safe and Sustainable Snowfighting Award from the Salt Institute for its implementation of a salt brine production system. The city uses the brine (which is produced by mixing salt and water) to treat roads before and after storms to more effectively remove ice and snow.

The method Lehi crews use is considered to be environmentally safe. Studies by Marquette University Studies show that

the use of salt reduces crashes by 88 to 93 percent.

The award was given to Lehi for “environmental consciousness and effective management in the storage of winter road salt.” Lehi is the only city in Utah, and just one of 90 transportation facilities nationwide, to receive the award.

In determining award winners, the Salt Institute evaluates winter maintenance procedure, including safety, operations and maintenance plans, as well as snow removal materials and their environmental impact. Lehi has used about 1,780 tons of de-icing salt so far this winter.

American Fork Increases Fitness Center, Cemetery Fees

By Linda Petersen Writer

After a yearly review, American Fork has increased its cemetery and fitness center fees to keep up with operating costs. The new fees were approved by the City Council on Feb. 9. Fitness center fees will increase from 3.53 percent to 7.69 percent over current, depending on the membership being purchased. The annual family fee will go from $420 to $435, for example, with student and senior monthly fees increasing by $1 from $13 to $14. City officials predict that the fitness center will see an annual increase of about $35,000 in revenue if pass sales remain constant.

Lot prices in the cemetery (currently $1,200) will not increase. However, some of the fees for opening and closing

graves will. A weekday opening of an adult grave will now cost $600, compared to $350 previously. (It will cost $850 on the weekend, compared to $650 previously). Opening a double-deep grave for a resident on a weekday will go from $700 to $850. It will be $1,450 for a non-resident ($1,300 previously). It will cost $1,450 on the weekend for both residents and non-residents.

Headstone removal for a flat or wedge headstone will now cost $100 ($50 previously) and $200 ($100 previously) for an upright headstone. A couple of new categories have been added to the schedule: after-hours fees (after 4 p.m.) $250 and court-ordered disinterment $3,000.

City officials anticipate an additional $42,500 per year in revenue with these changes. All other cemetery fees and costs remain unchanged. The new fees will go into effect March 1.

Lehi City is seeking talented photographers

By Linda Petersen Writer

Lehi City is holding a photo contest, the first of what city officials hope will be an annual event. They’re asking residents to submit photos that “capture the beauty” of Lehi. The contest, which began Feb. 15, is open until April 30. Registration can be done online or in person at City Hall.

Photos can be of anything involving Lehi. There are three categories: Lehi Life (everyday life in Lehi); Lehi Landscape (nature, scenery etc.) or Lehi Landmarks (buildings, architecture etc.) Photographers can submit their work online at https://www.lehi-ut.gov/submitphoto/.

Submissions need to contain a photo description, waivers from any individuals featured in the photos and a jpg file of the photo which must be 8 mb (3264x2448) in size.

The photos will be judged by how well it relates to the category (40 percent); creativity (30 percent) and originality (30 percent). The public will vote for a Public Choice Award which will be featured on the city’s Facebook page. The winners will be announced on May 16. The grand prize winner will receive a one-night stay at the Hampton Inn and dinner for two at the Lehi Texas Roadhouse. The first prize winners in each category will receive $100. Winners will also be featured in the Lehi Round-Up Art Show.

Looking at our world, it is easy to see the social issues that plague us. We pour great effort and significant amounts of money into problems across the world, such as lack of access to water, inadequate healthcare, food insecurity and substandard education, yet these problems persist. Have you ever wondered why we haven’t found a solution? Have you ever wanted to be a part of that solution? We believe that you can. At the 26th Annual Hunger Banquet, we will be focusing on social innovation--coming up with “novel solutions to social problems that are more effective, efficient, sustainable, or more than just current solutions.”

We can do better. Join us this year with a desire to do good, better than ever before. All proceeds from the evening are donated to initiatives with innovative solutions for problems that have persisted for too long.

The Hunger Banquet is a unique event held at BYU by the Students for International Development Club. Unlike our usual vision of a ‘banquet’, this evening will be a lesson on global poverty dynamics and wealth distribution. Ten percent of attendees are randomly selected to represent high-income citizens; they eat a three-course meal, a tablecloth beneath their plates, sitting with others of their own class. The next 20 percent represent the middle class; they will sit in chairs eating pizza, again with those of a similar class. The remaining 70 percent sit on the floor, eating rice and beans shared with those sitting near them.

At 6:00pm, the Involvement Fair will begin in the Wilkinson Terrace, outside of the CougarEat. There will be over 50 NGOs in attendance, ready to talk to you about opportunities to get involved in your community and world.

If you are interested in attending: BUY TICKETS at hungerbanquet.byu. edu

Pre-sale tickets ($7): February 10-16 at 10am Full price tickets ($8): February 16-25 Day of event tickets ($10): February 26

The banquet will begin at 7:00pm with food, entertainment, and keynote speaker Patrick Struebi, an Ashoka Fellow and CEO of Fairtrasa. He will be focusing on how you, no matter where you are in life, can be an innovator to change your world for the better.

Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting Opens 2016 with Three Newly-Elected Council Members

By Matthew Gary Milam Writer

The January 5th Eagle Mountain City Council meeting opened with the swearing in of the newly-elected council members Benjamin Reaves, Stephanie Gricius, and Colby Curtis. Oaths were administered by City Recorder Fionnuala Kofoed, committing the three new members to serve the residents of Eagle Mountain with 4-year terms. The three new members will serve alongside the two remaining council members, Adam Bradley and Tom Westmoreland, already serving in the five-member council.

Councilmember Reaves welcomed everyone and thanked those who voted for him. He was eager to hear from residents about what they want him to do as he represents them on the council. Councilmember Gricius thanked the voters for electing her and encouraged residents to call her with their perspectives. Councilmember Curtis thanked everyone for the opportunity to serve on the council and encouraged people to contact him with concerns. Mayor Pengra noted that this was the first election that has taken place since he’s been mayor. He was pleased to welcome the new council members.

Appointments Wendy Lojik, Marianne Smith, and Jared Gray were appointed to the Cemetery Board for a term of 3 years. Leslie Hatch and Tyler Shimakonis were appointed to the Library Board for a term of 2 years.

Lois Leikam was appointed to the Military and Veterans Advisory Board for a term of 3 years while Mike Ditto and Matt Clouttier were both appointed to the Military and Veterans Advisory Board for a term of 1 year. Mike Owens was appointed to the Planning Commission for a term of 2 years and Ryan Ireland, former council member, was appointed to the Youth City Council Advisory Board for a term of 1 year.

City Council Board Liaison Assignments Councilmember Bradley--Economic Development Board; Councilmember Curtis--Youth City Council and Planning Commission; Councilmember Gricius--Senior Citizen Advisory Council and Military and Veterans Advisory Board; Councilmember Reaves--Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and Planning Commission; and Councilmember Westmoreland--Library Board and Cemetery Advisory Board.

The question was raised about the process of filling empty city board vacancies. City Recorder Finnuala Kofoed explained the board appointment process: Every December, the Recorder’s Office determines which terms are expiring and reports those to the mayor. As vacancies occur during the year, they are also reported to the mayor and published in the newsletter and the city’s Facebook page. Candidates are chosen either from people who volunteer or those who are recommended by current members of the boards.

Motions Approved Motions passed to approve Ordinances-- Amending the Porter’s Crossing Town Center Master Development Plan Map; Amending the Porter’s Crossing Town Center Master Development Agree-

ment; Amending (one of the paragraphs) to say the developer shall install the portion of the St. Andrews Drive extension outside of the project in conjunction with building pod 14, and allowing the city attorney and planning director to make non-substantive changes to the agreement; Amending Chapter 17 of the Eagle Mountain Municipal Code regarding standards for construction trailers, sign regulations, sign permits and the Residential Zone; Amending the Consolidated Fee Schedule regarding franchise fees, construction trailer fees and code enforcement fines; Approving an agreement between Eagle Mountain City and Utah Youth Soccer, Inc., League #20 and authorize the mayor to sign the agreement, adding an amendment to item 23.3 striking “and maintain any profits that result,” requiring team rosters only when requested by the city, and waiving the $4 participant fee until the fall 2016 playing season; Approving a stipulation regarding the improvement bond for the Trailhead Townhomes PUD, Plat A between Eagle Mountain City and Central Bank; and Approving a mutual release of claims agreement between Eagle Mountain City, Central Bank and Banner Bank related to the improvement escrow fund agreement for the Trailhead Townhomes PUD, Plat A. Public Comments on Various Subjects Jeff Ruth was concerned about the number of cars parked on the roads when the city needs to plow snow. He asked for better enforcement of the no-parking regulations. He also asked the council to find a way to have residents shovel the snow from the sidewalks in front of their homes. Mayor Pengra said he’s planning to address these items in the city newsletter and in his blog. Drew Curley thanked the city for giving citizens the opportunity to serve on boards and commissions. He felt there should be public notice of vacancies. He would have liked to apply for the most recent vacancy on the Planning Commission. Chris Thompson spoke about recent flooding on Shiloh Way. She wanted to know what plans the city has to alleviate the risk of flooding. Chris Trusty, city engineer, said there is a plan and he met earlier today with Streets and Storm Water Department supervisors to work on it.

Upcoming Events/Information This year marked the introduction of a new way to dispose of Christmas trees for Eagle Mountain residents. Instead of curbside pick up, residents were to haul their trees to a pick up station at the rodeo grounds at Pony Express Memorial Park. Trees were to be stripped of all decorations and were disposed of by the Parks Department. The service was available through January 17.

The library will be offering free storytime on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 10:30 a.m. beginning January 26 and running through the end of April, except for spring break week. The same content will be offered in each weekly session.

A Miss Eagle Mountain orientation meeting for those interested in the Miss Eagle Mountain Scholarship Pageant was held on Saturday, January 16 at City Hall.

The pageant is open to ages 17-24 who reside in Eagle Mountain, Cedar Fort, or Fairfield.

New Mayor for Alpine

By Linda Petersen Writer

Alpine has a new mayor. Sheldon Wimmer has replaced Mayor Don Watkins who was serving his second, non-consecutive term as mayor.

Watkins has taken a position with Dixie State University to help build an entrepreneurial program there. Watkins sent an email to city staff members Jan. 21 letting them know of his resignation.

On Feb. 9, the City Council interviewed seven candidates for the position: Wimmer, Timothy Clark, Steven Cosper, Judi Pickell, Kelley Gregory, Kimberly Bryant and Will Jones. After an initial vote that narrowed the candidates to Wimmer and Cosper, City Council members took a second vote with Lon Lott, Roger Bennett and Ramon Beck voting for Wimmer, and Kimberly Bryant and Troy Stout voting for Cosper.

A retired BLM state fire management officer and former two-term (non-consecutive) city council member, Wimmer said he applied for the position because he has time to dedicate to the city and community. Most recently he served as chairman and a charter member of the Lone Peak Public Service District.

Wimmer previously served two terms on the City Council, in the early 1980’s, and from 1996-2000, and said he has seen how the role of mayor works close up. “I think I can do some good,” he said.

Wimmer and his wife Mary have lived in Alpine for 40 years and have raised

The Good Life

By Sterling Parker Writer

I would like to tell you about a little about Rockwell High’s boys basketball team. This group of boys, or I should say, young men, have given me the quintessence of life for the last couple of years. Quintessence, what’s that? You will just have to tune it to a later article to learn about quintessence.

You know the saying, curiosity kills a cat? I promise you, we will examine that long word in a future article, but this week I have to relate a few experiences.

I have had the blessing of being associated with these young men for two years. I coached the sophomore team and helped with the varsity team with Coach Ma, who had faith in me. Then Coach Stuart was so kind to keep me on with his staff this year.

I am so grateful as they and the boys have kept me young. I am sixty-nine years old this March and I have lived the dream being associated with these wonderful people at Rockwell.

My student manager, Blake Carter,

their four sons there. They have 13 grandchildren, of whom Wimmer is very proud. Wimmer believes the primary function of a mayor is to be a facilitator, and that’s just what he intends to do.

“My first goal is to be responsive to the needs of the community. I really don’t have any agenda,” he said. “I’m a process person. I like to administer to the needs of the city.”

The new mayor was impressed with the other candidates he was up against. “Talented people with great backgrounds,” he said. “I feel lucky to be chosen.” Wimmer said that development and annexation issues are challenges he plans to help the city deal with. The deer population is always an issue too, he said.

Wimmer was sworn in by City Recorder Charmayne Warner at the conclusion of the Feb. 9 council meeting. He is already in the office on Mondays and Thursdays. There will be a ceremonial swearing in for him on Feb 23.

“Alpine is a really wealthy community in terms of its great people and their talents, and I am honored to serve them,” Wimmer said.

always had things so organized for me. He has had health problems and missed out of playing ball himself. Blake was always there, making sure I didn’t fall while getting on or off the bus, or to extend his hand to pull me up. Coach Stuart is there for me too, always extending his arm to have me hang on. The team was always concerned for my health, lifting me up often after I knelt down to talk to them during time-outs. They always responded to what I asked of them. Maybe we didn’t win much, but how did we improve as a team? We improved in our skills, in our characters, attitude, goals, school work and relationships with others.

Coaching young men is like a box of chocolates! You never know what you are going to get! (Thank you, Forest Gump!) But as a coach, I picked the best ones. Thanks to those wonderful young men of Rockwell basketball. Thanks for making this old man with health problems feel as young as you!

Good luck to you in the future. You made me so proud!

Yes, I live the good life. I hope all of the you take the opportunity to be involved with the youth in your neighborhoods, communities and schools. The rewards are so great!

Lone Peak Emergency Action Plan puts people first

By Linda Petersen Writer

Living along the Wasatch Front, we’re all aware that experts say it’s not if, but when a serious earthquake will hit us.

Despite that obvious and real danger, most of us go blithely about our lives assuming that if the big one or any other disaster hits, the cities where we live will be there to provide emergency care for us.

But that’s not how it works. Emergency management experts say there is absolutely no way within the first 72 hours that a municipality/district can provide a fraction of the services its residents will need. Knowing that limitation, they focus on core infrastructure that will safeguard life and property.

In the Lone Peak Public Service District, which covers Alpine, Cedar Hills, and Highland, there is an Emergency Action Plan which covers everything from an earthquake to a winter storm.

Its purpose “is to provide direction to officials of the Lone Peak Public Safety District in providing effective and timely response to any manmade or natural disaster that may befall the District,” according to the document. The plan addresses everything from aircraft accidents, civil disturbances, earthquakes, explosions (including bombs and explosives), fire and floods to hazardous materials, multi-vehicle accidents, terrorist/ hostage situations and winter storms.

Plans for the incidents overlap extensively as very similar responses will be needed for several of the various scenarios.

Each plan mobilizes the police department, fire department, EMS, city public works departments and volunteers. One thing common to all plans is that emergency personnel make sure their own families are out of danger and taken care of. “District and City personnel will first ensure that their own households are out of danger and will then report to their departments,” the plan says.

While some scenarios seem unlikely, the district and surrounding cities have experienced others already. In February 2008, a severe snowstorm stranded 165 children and their teachers at Ridgeline Elementary School in Highland. More than 30 students spent six cold hours on a school bus just a half mile from the school. More recently, as a result of the Dump Fire of June 2012 where more than 4,000 acres were burned, thousands of Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs residents were evacuated from their homes. In both cases, the affected communities’ Emergency Action Plans were implemented.

“Saving lives will take precedence

over protecting property for decisions involving resource allocation and prioritization,” according to Alpine City’s emergency plan. In the hours following a disaster, the focus will be on getting an emergency operations center (or centers) set up and on getting emergency services to the needed area.

In the Lone Peak Fire District the EOC will be located at one or more of the following locations: Alpine Fire Station, Alpine Police Station, Highland City Hall and the future Cedar Hills Fire Station (when completed). Initially each city will be under the authority of the city administrator/manager until the chain of command is established.The responsibilities of each department are clearly delineated in the document. The police department will secure the affected area and coordinate all operations with central dispatch, provide emergency first aid to the injured in the absence of medical personnel and protect and distribute resources. The Incident Commander will also have the authority to stop any nonessential public or private activity, including resource use or travel.

In case of fire, the fire department will assume the role of Scene Commander and establish a command post. It will take charge of response to all fires created by an incident and limit the spread of the fire and conduct suppression operations. It will also coordinate all rescue and extraction activities at the site and conduct search and rescue operations where needed. The EMS will establish a medical treatment and staging area at the EOC sites, oversee all triage and treatment, designate a transportation staging area and coordinate all Medevac.

They will organize crews to respond to specific areas as directed by the Incident Commander, including evacuation assistance as authorized by the police.

The Director of Public Works generally will evaluate and mitigate damage to any city infrastructure and maintain the integrity of public facilities that may be damaged and provide emergency power to the EOC, medical staging area and fuel supply points.

The Director of Voluntary Services will notify the organization’s leaders to activate the assessment network. This network heavily utilizes the organization of the LDS church in the area since this is an already organized network. He/she will pass information of medical needs and all damage assessments to the Incident Commander; coordinate access to organization facilities available for mass care, such as schools, churches and other potential shelter sites and direct assistance to displaced persons, including shelter and foodstuffs.

If evacuation is called for, arrange-

Explore the great outdoors and scouting at one place

By Christy Jepson Writer

For three days families can see exhibits, demonstrations and participate in hands-on activities at the Utah County Scout Expo and the Big Outdoors Expo, all for one low price. On February 25-27 at the Utah Valley Convention Center in Provo, families get to explore both expos: $10 for adults and kids 11 and under are free.

According to Ryan Bertram, district director for the Boy Scouts of America, there will be several activities families can participate in. These are: tumble bugs, moon racers, air rockets, pinewood derby, gaga pit, dodge ball, model railroad, woodcarving, squeeze box and a scout store. In addition, people can learn more about the scouting program and

events. “The Utah County Scout Expo is a signature scouting event. It brings together scouts and community organizations from throughout Utah County to provide a day of intergenerational family fun through hands-on exhibits, competitions and displays,” says Bertram.

At the second annual Big Outdoors Expo families can see information booths about all the great outdoor activities Utah has to offer including: hunting, fishing, camping, hiking, climbing, mountain biking, river rafting, golfing, water sports and much more. Scales and Tails Utah will be there for a demonstration.

The Utah Valley Convention Center is located at 220 West Center Street in Provo. There is plenty of free parking. Hours for the event are: Thursday: 4pm to 8pm, Friday: 11am to 8pm, and Saturday: 9am to 6pm.

ments for temporary lodging, emergency feeding and clothing of displaced residents will be activated. Generally, evacuees are encouraged to seek shelter with friends, neighbors or family who are not impacted by the disaster. Commercial facilities may also be utilized to the extent possible to minimize the demand on public facilities. In situations where evacuees might be exposed to hazardous atmospheres, residents may be asked to shelter in place.

Local officials say it may take up to 72 hours to stabilize the situation and to reach anyone but the individuals who are most in need of help. As such, residents should be prepared to take care of their own needs during that time. “By far, what I would recommend is listening to local leaders and doing the things you are counseled to do,” Utah County Emergency Manager Sgt. Peter Quittner said. “If your city offers CERT programs, get involved and get trained. CERT can benefit you, whether you’re part of a community CERT team or not.”

SIDEBAR Scenarios covered in the Lone Peak Fire Emergency Action Plan: WINTER STORM If another severe storm hits, efforts will be focused on “saving life, minimizing suffering and minimizing damage to property,” according to the document.

The public works director will monitor city infrastructure and notify the chain of command of any serious problems.

the plan calls for the problem to be contained to the smallest area possible and to minimize the disruption caused by the incident as quickly as possible. Also, to deescalate the level of confrontation. The police department will take the lead in coordinating efforts EXPLOSIONS (including bombs and explosives) If the explosion has already occurred, the fire department will be in charge. If there are uncontrolled explosives or an unexploded bomb the police department will take over and will evacuate the area to a minimum of 300 feet.

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS Fire department personnel address the situation and will follow standard operating procedures regarding entering/exiting hazmat sites, accounting for personnel, containment, control, decontamination and other personal safety precautions.

MULTI VEHICLE ACCIDENTS The police department will respond and evaluate whether the incident chain of command needs to be implemented.

TERRORIST/HOSTAGE SITUATIONS The district will give first priority to protecting the lives of those at risk and minimizing property damage. In this situation, the district may obtain specialized external assistance to deal directly with terrorists and to perform any rescue attempts.

FIRE If there is a severe fire, the fire department will take the lead in addressing the situation. Its first priority will be to evacuate anyone in immediate danger and to prevent the fire spreading.

FLOODS If an area floods, the public works director(s) of the affected city will direct efforts to contain the flood and divert it away from any public utilities. Emergency crews will rescue those who may be trapped and evacuate people in threatened areas.

EARTHQUAKE In the event of an earthquake, Lone Peak Public Safety District will conduct operations to minimize the loss of life and property, provide for the needs of those individuals impacted by the incident and restore city services as rapidly as possible.

AF Caveman Wins 2nd Straight State Wrestling Title

By TCJ Sports Writer Dean Memmott

An American Fork Caveman won a state championship at the Feb. 11 state 5-A wrestling meet, held at Utah Valley University’s McKay Events Center.

American Fork’s Cam Hunsaker won the 138-weight class champion by outlasting Herriman’s Logan Jensen 4-1. Hunsaker said, “Scorewise, the match was close, but I controlled it all the way through. The championship match was the third time that I wrestled him this year. To beat him tonight, I used a single-leg drop. It’s my No. 1 move. This is my second and last title. Next season, I will be wrestling for UVU.” Hunsaker was one of two Cavemen to make it to the Feb. 11 championship fi-

nals. Porter Johnson was the other American Forker to wrestle in a championship match. He went against Pleasant Grove’s Ben Anderson. Anderson said, “I pinned Porter in the first period of our match. The pin gave me my fourth state title. I will be wrestling at Duke this coming winter.”

While Pleasant Grove won the tournament, American Fork placed third. Among the other Cavemen to place at the tournament, Jacob Rohton and Shad Preece took fourth, while Taylor Durfee finished fifth.

Lone Peak’s Zach Moore finished fourth while Westlake’s Mike McCann took sixth. Lehi’s Dallin Corrington took fourth and Weston Anderton sixth.

By Guest Writer Attorney Derek Conver

Since the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision regarding the constitutionality of homosexual marriage prohibitions, Utah’s treatment of homosexual couples has relaxed. Utah. Rep. Kraig Powell hopes to change that with his recently proposed bill. Powell’s bill would cement Utah’s preference for heterosexual couples in adoption cases involving wards of the state. Under Powell’s bill, judges are to give preference to mixed gender couples over same-sex couples.

Prior to the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2015 decision, Utah law prohibited same-sex couples from adopting at all. Although the specific contents of the bill have not yet been released, Powell has said that, all else being equal, a mixed gender couple would be granted an adoption over a competing same-sex couple.

Unlike Utah’s prior law, Powell’s new bill does not prohibit adoption by same-sex couples. Instead, same-sex couples are relegated to being the last option for adoption.

Referencing the slew of court rulings regarding the matter, Powell supported his bill explaining, “My position is that

the legislature needs to reinsert itself into this or we are just going to let the courts roll over the democratic will of the people.” Troy Williams, Executive Director of Equality Utah, disagrees. Williams believes that the bill’s preferential treatment is unconstitutional and, if passed, will be struck down like the many other related bills before it.

Powell has responded, stating that he is hopeful there will be litigation since the courts have not yet ruled on same-sex couples rights to adoption or foster care; only on their right to marriage.

Rep. Angela Romero also spoke out against Powell’s proposed bill. Romero stated “…kids thrive when they’re loved” and that she wants Utah law to treat couples the same, regardless of gender preference. Derek Conver is an Attorney in Eagle Mountain Utah, www.converlaw.com
