City Council Election Results By Jan Brown Memmott

Primary elections were held countywide August 11. Here are the results for the city council elections. Those who made it past this first round will be up for final voting in November in the General Election. Candidates without an asterisk will not advance in the process.

Growing Resistance to Snowbird Forest Service AF Canyon Land Swap By Matthew Gary Milam

In this life, if you are not alert, things can happen right under your nose, without your knowledge. In the case of the ongoing saga between Snowbird Ski Resort’s American Fork Canyon expansion plans and those who wish to protect the natural resources of the canyon—and the apparent involvement of the U.S. Forest Service in willing to facilitate land swaps—it would seem that some local entities were unaware of the situation going on up in American Fork Canyon. Take Cedar Hills, for example. Not only have they been recently awakened to the situation going on right in their own backyard, but they are taking immediate action to help prevent it. Following a recent move by the three-man, Utah County Commission (Commissioners Larry Ellertson, Bill Lee and Greg Graves) to take a stand against Mountain Accord references to Utah County lands in their recent proposal drafts, the Cedar Hills City Council approved a motion authorizing Mayor Gary Gygi to sign a resolution in defense of American Fork Canyon lands potentially being swapped. The Mountain Accord is an organization “that aims to collaborate amongst 20 organizations and more than 200 stakeholders to make critical decisions with regard to the central Wasatch mountain range.” They are the ones who recently drafted a proposed land exchange involving 416 acres of public lands in American Fork Canyon’s Mary Ellen Gulch for more than 1,000 acres of land owned by Snowbird in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The recent move by the Utah County Commission opposes the inclusion of American Fork Canyon land in this potential land swap with Snowbird Ski and Summer Resort. The resolution

By The Numbers: A Look at the 2016 City Bugets By Linda Petersen

Local cities have all approved their 2015-16 budgets in recent weeks. This week we take a look at the highlights for Alpine and Cedar Hills. ALPINE “Alpine is unique in that it wants to be good at what it does and does not want to do everything most cities want to do. Our appetite as a city for doing what we are good at and not doing the things we are not good at enables us to outperform other cities,” City Administrator Rich Nelson wrote in the budget report.

was passed unanimously. The Cedar Hills resolution to defend against the swap was also passed unanimously and apparently has the overwhelming approval of the Cedar Hills community. “Residents are nearly unanimous, if not unanimous, in wanting to preserve American Fork Canyon,” says Cedar Hills Councilman Daniel Zappala. Apparently, even though Utah County lands are involved in the exchange, very little effort has been made to include Utah County in the decision making. This is probably why the commission’s resolution included a request that Mountain Accord amend their draft by removing all references to Utah County lands. Cedar Hills is concerned about Utah County and wants to protect its interests as well as those of Cedar Hills. Mayor Gygi says, “We are trying to do what’s best for Cedar Hills and for our county.” The Cedar Hills resolution states that they are seeking for independence from Salt Lake, Wasatch and Summit processes that would appear to potentially compromise Utah County natural resources. For now, at least, it seems that Cedar Hills and the Utah County Commission will get what they want. Mountain Accord has put a hold on the Utah County portion of its plans. American Fork Canyon would appear to be safe for the moment as Mountain Accord moves forward with plans only for the other three counties involved. “What we’re hearing is [that] Utah County would rather…conduct their own process to evaluate the land exchange in Utah County,” says Mountain Accord Program Manager Laynee Jones. She adds, “We are supportive as Utah County takes a lead on the issue.

Meagan Grunwald Requests New Trial By Jan Brown Memmott

Meagan Grunwald was sentenced July 8, 2015 to 25 years to life in prison for murder and an additional 5 years to life for robbery. She was found guilty for the part she played in the murder of UCSO Sgt. Cory Wride, the shooting of Deputy Greg Sherwood, and nine other crimes. Less than a month after her conviction, she has recently requested a new trial. She claims the judge in her case was biased. The prosecuting attorney, Sam Pead, helped set the record straight. He explains that almost every murder trial ends with a motion for a new trial or to arrest the trial for various reasons. It seems to be the new normal after a client’s conviction. The old adage, “If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again” takes on new meaning in terms of public funding for defendants, as many convicted murderers get two trials.

Judge McDade had seen Meagen Grunwald’s boyfriend and partner in these crimes, Jose Angel Garcia-Juaregui, in his court in 2007 when he pled No Contest to attempted murder and aggravated assault for first running over someone with his car and then stabbing a man 21 times with a screwdriver. He attacked a second man with a tire iron. Judge McDade commented at Grunwald’s sentencing, “I knew the type of person he had the potential of being, and it’s very hard for me to believe that in the short time you knew him you didn’t know that as well. Your life was going in a good direction until he came along.” Continued page 2

50/20 Pony Express Hike 5th Anniversary By Matthew Gary Milam

Family First Dentistry By Wendy Visser Lojik

When my life got busy and dental work took a back seat to my jobs, family and responsibilities, my health started to suffer. I knew I needed to go to the dentist. I was busier than I have ever been in my entire life. I had great insurance and no excuse, except that my dental care was down the list of things to do. The bother of a slow ache in my face finally gave me enough motivation to schedule myself. I found a local dentist that took a real interest in my dental care and the details that needed to be addressed at Family First Dentistry in Eagle Mountain near the Ranches entrance. Doctor Gardiner looked through my history and helped me to understand the options I had for the work that needed to be done. I had a few issues that needed addressing due to my procrastination. It was a great relief to find a dentist that took special care to look at every detail in my dental work and history, with great and careful

attention. I can honestly say that my teeth look and feel much better. I have now learned to take care of myself first, so that I feel and think at my best and can help more people when I feel better. I recommend Dr. Gardiner and his staff wholeheartedly and appreciate them getting me back to feeling myself again. You can find Dr. Gardiner and his staff at 801-789-4414 3700 E. Campus Drive Ste. 200-A, in Eagle Mountain.

Ballet West Costume Tour Begins in Utah County

The

Crossroads

On August 28th and 29th, the Boy Scouts of Porter Rockwell district will continue to answer the challenge issued by late President John F. Kennedy by participating in the Pony Express 50/20 hike. The goal is to hike 50 miles in 20 hours. According to Bryan Basset, the event organizer, the 50/20 is typically held on the first full moon in September, but this year, he says, the best moon will occur on August 28 and 29. “It is our 5th anniversary of the event. We typically have 200-250 participate and about 12% finish,” Basset says. “It is very hard. 50 miles is a long way,” he adds. Basset says that he participated in the “Squaw Peak 50/20” when he was 14 years old back in 1986. He says that event no longer exists, so that is why he started the Pony Express 50/20. The 50/20 challenge was first issue by President Theodore Roosevelt, another fitness enthusiast, who said that Marines should be able to hike 50 miles in three days. John F. Kennedy issue the challenge to Boy Scouts because he was inspired by his brother, Robert F. Kennedy, who 50 years ago completed a 50-mile walk in freezing temperatures and in snow and slush, just outside of Washington, DC. “Our goal is safety and history... the course is 95% dirt and gravel roads with no real traffic. It is run under the canopy of the full moon. The desert is quite peaceful most years and walking at night, you enjoy cool temperatures and avoid sunburns and exposure. Historically, we start and finish on the actual Pony Express Trail original route. The scouts can earn the History Trails award, the Pony Express award and the 50-Miler. Plus, the hiking merit badge requires a 20-mile hike which they can easily get. Finishers get a medal, shirt, patch, and belt buckles--until we run out (depending on budget). We don’t earn any money. We spend it all on food for aid

First Lady’s Uplift Families holds conference at Thanksgiving Point By Linda Petersen

Uplift Families, an initiative of Utah First Lady Jeanette Herbert, will hold a parenting conference at Thanksgiving Point on Saturday, Sept. 19 from 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. The mission of Uplift Families, a nonprofit foundation, is to support good parenting by connecting parents “to programs, resources and information to help them acquire the skills necessary to raise loving, responsible children,” according to the organizations’s website. “We have great concern for the children of Utah and the negative influences they are exposed to. We believe strongly that by getting the message out to parents as to the critical nature of their positive involvement with their children, we can help turn the tide of juvenile problems that we see as a growing threat to our society,” Herbert says on the website. At this year’s annual conference, speakers will include Herbert, Matt Townsend, Brad Barton, Carmen Rasmussen Herbert, and Lucy Delgadillo. There will be a special musical performance by Joshua Creek. The evening will begin with dinner at 5:30 p.m. at the Thanksgiving Show Barn, followed by the presenters from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Dessert will be served at 8:30 p.m. when attendees will have a chance to meet the presenters. Tickets are are $15/individual, $25/couple.

PROVO, Utah - August 7, 2015 - A gallery of glamor will tour through Zions Bank financial centers in Utah County starting Monday, Aug. 10 as Ballet West presents an exclusive exhibit of original ballet costumes. The free exhibit displayed in the bank lobbies will showcase beautifully handcrafted costumes from Giselle, Swan Lake, Vespri and The Nutcracker. The costumes were designed and made by a team of four, led by internationally acclaimed David Heuvel, Ballet West’s costume production director. Utah County residents have the opportunity to see the renowned costumes up-close at three Zions Bank financial centers in Lehi and Provo through September. The Utah County Zions Bank financial centers hosting the Ballet West costumes include the following: Lehi - Aug. 10-23: Zions Bank at 1432 East 3500 North Provo - Aug. 24-Sept. 7: Zions Bank at 180 North University Ave., Ste. 100 Provo - Sept. 8-20: Zions Bank at 1060 North University Avenue Visitors to these offices will also have the opportunity to enter their name to win a pair of season tickets for Ballet West’s 52nd Season, starting in November. In an average year, Ballet West works on hundreds of costumes, individually stitched and tailored to fit each dancer. Hours of long work are required of the costume production team that are often putting in 40 hours, and more than 16 yards of net to make one tutu. Their hard work has been recognized with many awards and features in film and television including the ballet costume Taylor Swift wore in her recent “Shake it Off”

music video, with more than 500 million online views. Ballet West and Zions Bank have had a long-standing partnership to bring the arts to the community. This is the first time Ballet West has launched a public traveling exhibit of their costumes through the help of Zions Bank. “Zions Bank is a wonderful partner to Ballet West. They have a long history and passion for the arts in Utah and have always been particularly supportive of our company,” said Scott Altman, executive director of Ballet West. “This is a unique and wonderful opportunity that will allow us to reach new audiences as customers will be able to see first-hand and up-close the artistry of their hometown ballet company.” The statewide costume tour’s final stop ends in the lobby of the Janet Quinney Lawson Capitol Theatre in November, which will coincide with the beginning of Ballet West’s 52nd Season. Ballet West’s upcoming season lineup includes Iconic Classics, The Nutcracker, Romeo and Juliet, Beauty and the Beast, The Nijinsky Revolution, and Innovations 2016. “Zions Bank is a proud supporter of Ballet West and the arts in Utah,” said Scott Anderson, president and CEO of Zions Bank. “The arts and business are not necessarily polar opposites. Both test the envelope of human creativity, intellect, energy and promise. Both seek to motivate, to produce, to achieve excellence, to grow and to unite. We are proud to offer this unique educational opportunity for those coming into our bank branches.” For more information, dates and locations, go to www.bit.ly/costumetour.

New Prison Site Finally Chosen By Jan Memmott Brown

Business Spotlight: Tenney’s Pizza By Kimberly Bennett

Kevin Tenney started working as a pizza delivery driver when he was 16 years old, and he’s been working with pizza ever since, making a career that started nearly 20 years ago. He moved up from driver, to manager, to owner of a chain restaurant. And then, in 2011, he opened up his own place, right here in Saratoga Springs; Tenney’s Pizza. There are now five Tenney’s locations spread across Utah and Salt Lake Counties; Saratoga Springs, American Fork, Sandy, Provo, and most recently, Riverton. “We’re not a nameless, faceless corporation,” Kevin Tenney says. “We try to keep the [community] in mind with everything we do.” And that includes pricing. Tenney stresses that having a lower price doesn’t mean a lower quality. In fact, they try to find what tastes the best, and figure the price out later. And because taste is so important, they hand make everything. “I really enjoy building something,” Tenney says. “And kind of being creative. Trying new things, doing new things.” He goes on to express how they’ve tried different combinations. Some of which have been successful,

and some, like the briefly lived hotdog pizza, not so much. They are expecting their cookie pizza with ice cream to be a big hit. “I feel like we offer a ton of different things, but it’s hard to let people know,” Tenney says, describing the healthier options they offer. These include a skinny-crust wheat tortilla option, the pizzomelet where they use eggs instead of crust, and a gluten free crust, just to name a few. Tenney’s also offers various loyalty programs, from a punch card system for buy 10 get 1 free, a Facebook page with lots of free giveaways, and a text message program where texting “Tenneys” to 53535 allows you in on the special deals. Kevin Tenney and his family have lived in Saratoga Springs since 2000. He and his wife have 6 kids, the two eldest working at Tenney’s. They also own a cross fit gym. “We are excited to be here,” says Tenney. “We enjoy growing and we’re thankful for the customers that we have.”

After almost a year, the Prison Relocation Commission recommended on August 11 that the new state prison be built west of the Salt Lake International Airport. There were many sites considered, including one in Saratoga Springs. The four final sites were in Fairfield (southwest of Eagle Mountain), Eagle Mountain, Grantsville, and I-80/7200 W. Salt Lake. The recommendation will be voted on as soon as Aug. 19, or whenever Governor Herbert calls for a special session of the legislature. Members of the PRC voted unanimously for the Salt Lake site after consultants finally disclosed operating costs for the sites. The Salt Lake site would cost almost double to develop what Eagle Mountain would, but operating costs of the I-80 site were only $577 million versus $825 million for Eagle Mountain. This is because of its proximity to employees, volunteers, courts and hospitals, and lower utility expenses. The Utah State Prison employees drive inmates outside the walls approximately 1,500 times per month, for example. When he or she has a court appointment downtown or needs medical care in the University of Utah hospital system, the Salt Lake site is much closer- and cheaper- to meet these needs. Local politicians and grassroots volunteers worked feverishly since October to get the message to lawmakers that the prison was not welcome anywhere in Utah County because it would stunt economic growth in the area. Putting a prison in the fastest growing region in Utah made no sense to most residents. When the PRC held open houses at the four finalist cities, Eagle Mountain had

over 1,100 visitors, compared to about 120 at the Airport West site. Residents have been involved and vocal, forming opposition groups such as “No Prison in Saratoga Springs/Eagle Mountain/Fairfield.” They have thousands of Facebook members and hits on their websites. The effort even motivated two group leaders, Colby Curtis and Stephanie Gricius, to run for City Council in Eagle Mountain this year. Eagle Mountain’s mayor, Chris Pengra, and Rep. David Lifferth also worked tirelessly to represent the overwhelming majority of their constituents. They wrote articles, commissioned their own studies, contacted fellow politicians, and stayed in touch with residents regularly. They were an important factor in keeping the prison out of Northern Utah County. Community involvement was an important factor between the Salt Lake and Eagle Mountain site, which definitely seemed like the runner-up. Residents attended meetings, made phone calls, sent thousands of emails, displayed yard signs, bought t-shirts, and in general, organized themselves to better exercise their right to speak out and be heard by their elected leaders. One of the community activists, Erica Groneman, said, “This has been a joint effort involving elected officials and citizens. I have been amazed at how well city officials and residents have worked together in this fight. We really do live in an awesome area.” She is relieved the prison won’t be in the middle of our community, but expressed frustration that her tax dollars would still be paying for the prison to move.

Another Pill, Please By Kimberly Bennett

A few months ago, I came down with a chest cold. This was inconvenient because, besides the rattling cough, I was about to go out of town. So I went down to the store and asked the very nice pharmacist what I should take to get me in tip-top shape for my trip. You can imagine my surprise when, instead of offering me “Jeremiah Peabody’s Polyunsaturated Quick-Dissolving Fast-Acting Pleasant-Tasting Green and Purple Pills,” a la Ray Stevens, he said, “none of them.” He went on to explain that, while the medication may temporarily relieve symptoms, in the long run they will extend your illness. While coughing and fever may be unpleasant, these are the body’s natural ways of getting rid of an illness. Which means preventing these natural reactions makes the illness last longer. But we buy these medications because they make us feel better. Because they are there. Because we’re told to buy them. Now, let’s be clear. I’m not anti-medication. There are times when we seriously need medicine. But we must ask ourselves if we’ve become too dependent on medication. Have a headache? Take a pill. Feeling drowsy? Take a pill. Need to lose weight? Take a pill. Instead

of drinking water, getting more sleep, or exercising (solutions that often work) we’re told to take a pill. According to the Center for Disease Control, the number of prescription drugs being used is rising every year. This is in part because new medications are being invented and old medications are being re-purposed. Another study by Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH) in Boston, MA led to the discovery that antibiotics are being largely over prescribed, which can be dangerous. We frequently hear on the news cases of overdoses and addiction to over-thecounter and prescription pills. On the other hand, it can’t be denied that health and quality of life has improved as medical advancements have been made. Do we overmedicate? That’s a question for each individual to answer. Maybe next time, instead of loading up on cough suppressants, we should just eat some chicken soup and go to bed. But, maybe not.

Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting July, 2015 By Mattew Gary Milam Items discussed at the July Eagle Mountain City Council meeting included the 16-acre Glenmar property rezoning from agricultural to residential, the Consolidated Fee Schedule of United Fire Authority Fee Waiver, and the consideration and appointment of poll workers for the 2015 Primary and General Municipal elections in Eagle Mountain, among other schedule items. The Glenmar Residential Development-which is currently zoned agricultural—consists of 16 acres at the north end of Lake Mountain Road. It meets the general criteria for a rezone, but there is a concern that it will create more traffic than Lake Mountain Road is designed to support. Lake Mountain is an unpaved, rural residential road. The concern is that if the road were paved and made a minor “collector,” the use would increase dramatically. Mayor Pengra and Planning Director Steve Mumford met with the residents of Lake Mountain Road and the developers who want to develop land along the road. They discussed how to mitigate effects of development as it inevitably comes. Marianne Smith, the applicant, requested approval of the rezone. She feels that many families want larger properties, and one-acre lots are reasonably affordable. She felt that one-acre or larger lots will be the best use of the land. Ken Olsen, who owns land near Lake Mountain Road and supports the rezone, said that large developments of smaller lots have already been approved adjacent to his land and to the land proposed for the Glenmar development. He was planning to develop his land into one-acre lots, the same as the Smiths are planning. Elise Erler represented SITLA, which owns a large tract of land west of the Smiths’ property. SITLA has an approved development plan. Erler said that the requested rezone is a reasonable and compatible land use adjacent to the SITLA property. Mayor Pengra felt that if traffic isn’t diverted away from Lake Mountain Road, it will become like Redwood Road. Airport Road, which was planned to be a collector, won’t be developed for years. Lake Mountain needs to be protected from developing into a situation similar to Redwood Road, which began as a residential road, became a large road and pushed out some of the homeowners. Jody Hooley (not in attendance) didn’t feel a decision should be made until the traffic issue is solved. She didn’t feel limiting development to five-acre lots is unfair to landowners. She stated that buying land for development doesn’t mean the land can be developed the way the owner wants to. She thought that septic systems should only be allowed in lots that are five acres or larger. The council voted

unanimously to table the motion for now. In the process of selling Fire Station #1 to the Unified Fire Authority (UFA), it was found that the fire station has problems with black mold. This fee waiver was negotiated in order to move the sale forward without a delay. The proposed resolution waives any building, inspection and impact fees associate with any repairs or reconstruction or temporary facilities associated with Fire Station #1. Mayor Pengra explained that the living quarters of the station will be demolished, the basement will be filled in and portable units will be brought in as living quarters. This will be a temporary solution until UFA can bond for a new fire station. The resolution passed by a unanimous vote. City Recorder Fionnuala Kofoed presented

BLM Seeks Input for Recreational Shooting By Jan Brown Memmott Starting in 2012, The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) closed its land south of Saratoga Springs to recreational target shooters. At issue was the safety of people, domestic animals, and private buildings in the area. Some homeowners even found themselves as accidental targets, as gun enthusiasts faced away from the mountain and toward their property. The BLM renewed the temporary closure in 2014, but only for two more years. When the ban expires in 2016, officials hope to have a permanent policy in place for the area from approximately mile16 to 22 on State Route 68. This is around Redwood Road south of Saratoga Springs by Utah Lake. The BLM has two projects associated with the area. The first is to make a permanent policy concerning where shooting firearms will be allowed and restricted. The second is to provide a shooting range there for public use. At the BLM Salt Lake Field Office, which is over the Saratoga Springs location, staff are seeking public input to identify

an item that would consider the appointment of poll workers for the 2015 Primary and General Municipal elections in Eagle Mountain City. In accordance with Utah Code, the city recorder will present the City Council with a list of recommended individuals to serve as poll workers for the 2015 Primary & General Municipal Elections. The motion passed with a unanimous vote. Public Comments: --Daniel Kroll, a resident of SilverLake, said he was told at the time he moved in that there would be a park in his neighborhood. The park site is now being filled by townhomes and the park is being built in a newer neighborhood. He and his neighbors feel that their home values have been damaged by the change and they want to know if anything can be done. --Bruno Hunziker, a resident of White Hills, requested picnic tables for the park in White Hills. He said he’s spoken to Recreation Director Brad Hickman, who said there are some tables available. However, his main concern

possible issues, impacts and alternatives to help craft the amendment. They had two open house events earlier in August for comments, but the public is still encouraged to comment directly on the BLM website through August 28, 2015.

Mayor Pengra said he would call the business owner and the Air Quality board, if necessary. --Wendy Baggaley spoke against the local option transportation tax being considered by Utah County. She encouraged the mayor and council to object to it. She said that 40% of the money raised will go to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). She doesn’t want to contribute money to an organization that is not transparent and gives its executives excessive bonuses.

Trolls Don’t Just Live Under Bridges By Kimberly Bennett

Take a moment and think about your day. If you’re like most people, you check your phone an average of 62 times a day. Now imagine if every time you picked up your phone and looked at it, it insulted you. It called you stupid, or fat, or ugly. Unfortunately, this is a reality that many teenagers face. It’s a problem called cyberbullying, and the damage it can cause can be lasting, and more far reaching than the face-to-face kind. Bullying of any sort can have serious consequences. But as we’ve entered the age of cyber civilization, we’ve found a new and devastating power. The ability to scorn, injure, and humiliate on a massive scale that reaches all across the World Wide Web. This, in part, is what makes cyberbullying such a danger. A single compromising image can be spread over the entire world, to be trolled by thousands. There is no way to completely remove the offending post from the web. And the anonymity of the internet prevents bullies from being held responsible. This harsh message survives online forever. The wide scale trauma cyberbullying can inflict on the victim is troubling. But what is also troubling is the fact that

cyberbullying can be damaging on both sides of the equation. The kind of desensitization that occurs without the human interaction is hurtful to society. The same anonymity that prevents victims from confronting their abusers can prevent the abusers from realizing the seriousness of their actions. The a large percentage of youth shockingly reported that they did not consider the “jokes” they posted online to be bullying. Not being able to directly witness the effects of the bullying prevented the perpetrators from understanding when they had gone too far. However, cyberbullying isn’t limited to teens. Being an internet troll, someone who leaves hurtful and disparaging comments for no other reason than to be mean, is also a form of bullying. Cyberbullying is a huge problem in society today, for teens and adults. It’s important that we teach our loved ones to be respectful and responsible on the internet. Because trolls don’t live under bridges. They live online. And you don’t want to be one of them.

The Charleston at Cedar Hills, an assisted living center, is inviting the community to a free health and wellness fair on Friday, Aug. 28, from 1 to 3 p.m. There will be health and wellness screenings, free head and neck massages and information booths covering topics such as pet therapy, balance screening, genetic testing and hydration. Free fresh fruit smoothies will be served. Clinicians and care providers will include Time to Smile (dental wellness), Hearts and Hospice (blood pressure clinic), Mountain Land (benefits of physical therapy), Envision (balance screening), Brighton (neck and head massages), Symbii (hydration), First Choice (genetic testing) and Costco (hearing screening) “This is our first fair,” Area Director of

Sales Christine Cramer said. “We’ve been doing this on a smaller scale, one-on-one or one-on-group, but we thought that if we could have multiple clinicians onsite it would be a great way to capture a lot of resources in a small amount of time since people are so busy.” “It’s something that we’ve been working on—a proactive approach to health and wellness for all our residents--and we thought we’d extend an invitation to the community at large,” she said. “We hope they will take advantage of this proactive approach to improving their lives and making health and wellness a priority.” The Charleston at Cedar Hills is located at 10020 North 4600 West, Cedar Hills. Call 801-772-0123 by Aug. 24 to RSVP.

Sleeping Well?

characterized by unrefreshed sleep, the impaired function of day-to-day activities, symptoms being even worse after physical or mental activity, and a general brain fog, particularly when standing. The Institute of Medicine has also concluded that chronic fatigue syndrome and myalgic encephalomyelitis do not give an appropriate description of the disease. The current names are misleading, or make the condition seem less serious than it actually is. For that reason, they have recommended that chronic fatigue syndrome now be called Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease (SEID). It is the IOM’s hope that these changes will help identify SEID more easily, and allow sufferers to gain appropriate treatment. Getting treatment is essential as this disease can be debilitating. If you feel you have these symptoms, particularly if they have lasted at least six months, contact your doctor for treatment. But if you’re tired all the time and don’t have SEID, maybe try cutting back on the meetings, or the late night Netflix marathons. And please, sleep well.

By Kimberly Bennett

If you’re a mover and shaker in today’s society, you may think that chronic fatigue is just the consequence of being busy. What with meetings to attend, money to be made, and Netflix to binge on, there are plenty of reasons we lose sleep, and consequentially, feel tired all the time. There is more to chronic fatigue than not catching enough sleep during the week. Chronic fatigue syndrome, also sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis, is a disease that affects between 860,000 and 2.5 million people in the United States, many of whom have yet to be diagnosed. Lack of diagnosis is due in part to chronic fatigue mistakenly being considered a psychological disorder rather than an actual disease, but according to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), chronic fatigue syndrome is very real. The IOM has now recommended a new set of criteria for diagnosing the illness. Chronic fatigue syndrome is

AF Cavemen Defeat Spanish AF Girls’ Soccer Team Drops PreseaFork Dons 13-8 in UBAL Regular son Opener to Fremont Silverwolves Season Finale Aug. 11 By Dean Memmott

In a Utah Baseball Academy League regular season finale at American Fork July 31, the American Fork Cavemen defeated the Spanish Dons 13-8. In the top of the first, Don Tanner Argyle smacked a center-field single off pitcher Mick Madsen. Soon on one out, Riley Daniels doubled Argyle in to start a three-run rally. In the bottom of the first, the Cavemen staged a three-run rally of their own, thanks to Colt Carpenter. On two outs, he doubled in two runs, and then came home on a Chandler Wood single. With Madsen holding the Dons scoreless in the top of the second, Spencer Shelton got on base through a Don error in the bottom of the inning. A Jace Ybarra sacrifice fly

By Dean Memmott

scored Shelton, triggering a three-run rally that gave American Fork a 6-3 lead. In the top of the third, Briggs Newman singled in a run to set off a four-run rally, tipping the Dons ahead 7-6. Spanish Fork’s second lead didn’t last long. In the bottom of the third, Ryan Reid doubled in two runs to put American Fork back ahead 8-7, and he then came home on a Kasten Rasmussen double. American Fork picked up a run in the fourth, and in the fifth Madsen tripled Ybarra in. Doubling in the top of the sixth, Nate Kiesel came home on a balk called against reliever Taylor Sobotka. That turned out to be the last Don run of the game. In the bottom of the sixth, Ybarra tripled in a run to conclude the game’s scoring.

Cupcake Charity Run By Kimberly Bennett

Looking to take part in a good cause this month? Want to do something sweet? Then get out your running shoes and sign up for the Cupcake Charity 5k Cakewalk and Run. The Cupcake Charity was started in 2011. Designed to relieve members of the community who need extra help, every year the charity picks a different family to support. Those who wish to be of help to the family can donate directly on the Cupcake Charity website. Or they can be a little more adventurous and sign up for one of the sponsored runs. The event sponsors a 5K, and a kid’s “Fun Run.” But there is also an option that comes with a unique and sweet twist. The 5K Cupcake Division is a race that requires the participants to run half the race, consume as many cupcakes as possible, and then finish the race. Every cupcake consumed will take one minute off the runner’s recorded race time. This year’s race takes place on August 28th at Nolan Park. There will be other events besides the races, including a bounce house, Zorb bubble soccer, and a bake sale. As fun as these activities are, they don’t overshadow the reason for the day’s events. This year’s cakewalk

is dedicated to helping the Hunter Anderson family. Earlier this year, Eagle Mountain residents Shelly and Mark Anderson and their family came under a great deal of emotional and financial strain. Shortly after the marriage of their daughter Kylee, their son Hunter was seriously injured while off-roading with motorcycles in St. George. He and his bike went off the cliff and he suffered several breaks in his arms, feet, and legs. Hunter has undergone multiple surgeries since his release from the hospital. His recovery has been long, and included many complications, and he still has a long way to go. The Anderson’s have also had many difficulties with housing. Their basement had to undergo disaster treatment after a serious flooding and they’ve had to replace both their water heaters, and their refrigerator. The Anderson family is grateful for the dearly needed support. All proceeds from the event will go to the Anderson family. You can register to help the Andersons and read more about their story at cupcakecharity. com. You can also submit candidates for next year’s charity event. So get running. And stay sweet.

The American Fork Cavemen’s girls’ soccer team opened its preseason schedule with a loss at home Aug. 11. The Fremont Silverwolves defeated American Fork 1-0. Staffed with a lot of players having very little varsity experience, American Fork had trouble with putting together offensive attacks that could have given them firm control of their own field. American Fork Derek Dunn said, “Our girls went onto the field physically ready, not mentally ready, for the game. They were players who didn’t have much experience with playing on a varsity level. They made some mistakes, but it was best they made them now instead of during region, which will start two weeks from today.” Kassidy Dibb, Sophie Stewart, Paige Orum, and Ally Carlisle provided the spark for the American Fork offense. They guided repeated deep drives into Silverwolf territory. Fremont goalie Shyanne Jones kept denying them

great scoring opportunities. American Fork got some great defensive efforts from sweeper Savannah Moberly and goalie Savannah Empey. Both Savannahs held their own against the Silverwolves. Moberly, for one, frequently stole the ball from Silverwolf Kami Hunter. Empey, meanwhile, held the Silverwolves scoreless in the first half. Empey’s good luck against the Silverwolves finally vanished late in the second half when Kinsley Napoli scored the game’s only goal from inside the American Fork penalty area. Dunn said, “That goal should have not happened. It was a result of sloppy defense on our part.” American Fork bounced back from that loss on Aug. 13 by posting a 1-0 win on the Highland Rams’ home field. Orum scored the game’s only goal.

Jasmer Sisters Shooting Stars of NAM Competition By Matthew Gary Milam

Scott and Stacie Jasmer have a lot to be excited about these days. Their daughter Jazlynne, and her younger sister, Chloe, are lighting up the stages of NAM this year. NAM is the National American Miss pageant, and Jasmine and Chloe are two names to watch for in this national competition. Jazlynne is 12 years old and a student at Frontier Middle School in Eagle Mountain. She competed as a State Finalist for Miss Nevada/Utah. Exceptionally talented in art, and on only her first try, Jazlynne took home a trophy as 1st Runner Up for Art. She has been a cheerleader for Westlake Little League Cheer for 3 years and participates in tumbling at Jump Up Gym. Chloe is half her sister’s age, but at 6 years old is already making a name for herself in the NAM competition. She became a NAM National Qualifier for Top Model, winning in Las Vegas, and becoming the Utah/ Nevada Top Model in the Princess division. She earned a $250 scholarship and a “Golden Ticket” giving her the opportunity to travel to Hollywood over the Thanksgiving holiday to compete for the national title. Chloe is a student at Hidden Hollow Elementary in Eagle Mountain and got her start modeling princess dresses for LittleDressUp.Com, also in Eagle Mountain. It was her desire to be a “real princess” that led her to the NAM competition.

Sunset Storage & RV 9361 South Sunset Dr Eagle Mountain, UT 84005 (801) 789-6000

According to the Jasmers, the National American Miss pageants are dedicated to celebrating America’s greatness, assisting the development of young women, and encouraging future leaders. NAM awards 1.5 million dollars in cash, scholarships, and prizes each year. Oh, yeah. One more thing. Chloe also has the opportunity to win a 2015 Mustang Convertible. Maybe she’ll let her older sister drive it in 4 years—who knows? At least, for now, she’ll have a couple of chauffeurs to drive her to her favorite places around town, if she wins.
