Water—A Fresh Perspective on Conservation in Eagle Mountain
Photo: Fix Redwood in Saratoga Springs Facebook page
Traffic in Saratoga Springs Puts Residents in a Jam You might think the fastest growing city in Utah would have UDOT’s attention. In fact, Utah Department of Transportation just approved the expansion of Redwood Road in Saratoga Springs- in 2018. For many, a three year wait seems unacceptable. Homeowners in the south part of the city, especially, are frustrated by the lack of foresight and planning that has put them in a jam. Autos do anything but rush during rush hour, backing up for miles some days. Children are routinely late for school as their buses are caught in the mess. Pollution and lost time add to residents’ concern. Some people fed up with the long wait on Redwood Road have chosen to bypass traffic by driving through private neighborhood streets instead. Residents of this neighborhood, particularly on Centennial Boulevard, have tried to prevent these cars racing through their private roads by placing closure signs on the streets. In mid-November this resulted in a hit-and-run on Centennial. The pedestrian was not seriously injured, but the danger remains. People are understandably worried and frustrated. They are organizing to
petition UDOT to widen Redwood Road before 2018. There are almost 700 members of the Facebook group “Fix Redwood in Saratoga Springs.” They have taken their concerns to the city council, whose members have already been working with UDOT and other transportation entities for months to accelerate construction. Citizens are also starting an email and phone campaign to UDOT and Mountainland Association of Governments to make their needs known. City officials are working with UDOT to ease congestion on Redwood Road. Some viable options include extending fiber to the light at Grandview to tie it into the centralized light controls- for better on-the-fly adjustments, evaluating striping for additional lanes where possible, creating a second left turn lane from Grandview to Redwood, possible striping changes at Centennial Boulevard (UDOT is computer modeling striping changes there and throughout the city to evaluate where to get best results), and changing the status of Foothill Drive to move it up the funding priority list. Still, while all of these changes would be helpful and welcome, many believe nothing will work as well as widening Redwood itself. Anyone wanting more information about the traffic situation in Saratoga Springs may visit the residents’ Facebook page or UDOT’s page udot. utah.gov online.
Community Holiday kick-off events welcome the Christmas season
Christmas is right around the corner which means local cities are hosting their
annual holiday kickoff events. Here is what is happening around the area: Cedar Hills- A “Night with Santa” party will be at the Cedar Hills Golf Club & Community Center on Monday, December 7th from 6-8 pm. Santa will arrive on a fire truck and then after his arrival he will lead everyone in singing a few Christmas carols. Residents will then have the opportunity to visit with Santa, receive a candy cane, and have a complimentary
picture taken which will be emailed in a few weeks to residents. On Wednesday, December 9th at 11 am is a “Polar Express” story time for children at the Cedar Hills Golf Club & Community Center. Children can wear their PJ’s, and hot chocolate and cookies will be served. Highland- The Highland Youth City Council hosts a visit from Santa Claus at the Highland City Hall on December 5 from 10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. The Arts Council will be helping with the children’s Christmas craft projects that day. The fee for these craft project will be ranging from free to just a small fee. The Highland Children’s Choir will also perform a few songs, and the library will host a puppet show and story time. There will also be the annual canned food
As part of the plan to become a regional leader in regenerative water management, Eagle Mountain has hired Brad Lancaster, a rainwater harvesting and water management expert, to help the city determine the best ways to invest a planned $1 million in water-wise improvements to Utah’s geographically third largest city. Brad Lancaster was in town on Monday, November 16 to tour the city and provide feedback. Mr. Lancaster has run a successful permaculture consulting design and education business since 1993. Its focus is on integrated and sustainable approaches to landscape design, planning, and living. He has assisted other cities with municipal water management, including Tucson, Arizona and Los Angeles, California. According to Linda Peterson of Eagle Mountain City, the consulting is part of the first phase of the city’s water sustainability plan. Mayor Pengra, in comparing the future of Utah and Eagle Mountain to the saga of California’s water woes, has
said that he doesn’t want us to make the same mistakes if we can help it. As Utah business and populations grow exponentially, Pengra can imagine how the mayors of California cities looked at their prosperity 30 years ago as compared to the current water crisis in California now. Pengra asks himself, “Is there something that could have been done to prevent the reality that California is now dealing with?” Over the past several months ,Mayor Pengra has been studying Utah’s water outlook and trying to assess how Eagle Mountain fits into the picture. Utah is the second driest state in the country, yet it is argued that it has one of the highest water users per capita statistics. According to the Utah Division of Water Resources and the seven water conservancy districts, Utah’s population will probably double by the year 2060. This will cause a strain on water resources and cost around $33 billion over the next 45 years. According to Pengra, Eagle Mountain is beginning the process of taking a comprehensive look at every aspect of its own water use. Eagle Mountain is looking at its current water usage and planning out conservation strategies. Continued on page 2

Water—A Fresh Perspective on Conservation in Eagle Mountain continued from page 1 Pengra says there are five categories where efforts will be focused, the first of which is to make changes to the existing infrastructure. Pengra says that the city has recently allocated over one million dollars toward landscaping projects focused on efficient irrigation and water-wise planting. The first order of business will be to improve an irrigation system which wastes a good amount of water by over-spraying onto roads. Pengra says that Eagle Mountain City will also be providing its residents with education about water-efficient landscaping, planning for future green infrastructure, making incremental policy and code changes, and analyzing how our utility and development fees affect consumer behaviors.
Mayor Pengra concludes, “I believe that the time has come for all of us to look at water from a fresh perspective.” He adds, “We must act with a sense of urgency to adopt more sustainable management practices.” A public presentation was hosted on Monday evening at the Garden Near the Green by the Maverick gas station. Following the presentation there was a question and answer session and a media tour. The event was hosted by Mayor Pengra. During the meeting Mr. Lancaster highlighted the potential of myriad strategies of integrated harvests of rainwater, greywater, sun, shade, snow, food forests, community and more.

During the public comments portion of the meeting Oct 13 in Alpine City, Nathan Taylor talked about his Eagle project plans for Burgess Park, which included a renovation to the bowery by the tennis courts. Dylan Allen from Troop 1108 pointed out the low visibility of faded fire hydrants throughout the city and proposed an Eagle project to repaint city hydrants with rust-free red paint. The consent agenda was approved unanimously and Alice Winberg gave a monthly financial report. Her report summarized that the city was doing very well overall with built up funds for a rainy day. Her report can be viewed within city minutes at alpinecity.org. Council discussed the Harvey Hutchinson and Peterson Park Property Exchange in detail, eventually voting unanimously to approve the property exchange to create a safety zone for a sidewalk. Dry Creek Trail improvements were also discussed, resulting in another unanimous vote to allow the group to come in and carry out a service project on the Dry Creek Trail as per staff recommendation, and also take action to adopt the Dry Creek Trail improvement plan, acquiring the necessary permanent easements. Shane Sorensen then reported about 3D modeling being put together for the planning commission to review the public works department facility planned for the property at 300 N. He also reported that as per the safety requests of resident Amy Johnson, the intersection at 300 N and Bristol Court was reviewed. The intersection had sight triangle issues addressed by property owners in the area, and a crosswalk farther down the street was pointed out where students should cross as an alternative with the crossing guard. The intersection did not warrant stop signs. He also reported on overlay projects that had to be excavated, and the completion of tennis courts at Burgess Park. He anticipated a proposal from a firm on the city obtaining a new well.
Dancing Up A Storm Back Again for Local “Celebrities” to Compete Westlake High School’s “Dancing Up a Storm” concert brings dance ensembles together from the Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain area, along with a competition that has local teachers and administrators teamed up with ballroom dance students from the high school to perform in front of judges on December 4th and 5th. Just like the hit TV show, Dancing with the Stars, a “pro”, which is a ballroom dance company student from Westlake High School, will be paired up with a local community “star” from Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain or Cedar Fort to compete and perform in front of judges at the 7th annual “Dancing up a Storm” concert at the Westlake High School auditorium. The “stars” that will perform that night are all teachers or administrators from local schools. They include: Kelli Knight (Westlake Drill Team Coach), Jared Huff (Westlake administrator), Gordon Fluckiger (Westlake teacher), Dr. Stewart (Vista Heights Middle School Principal), Kristy Busby (Mountain Trails Elementary teacher), Tom Tillman (Hidden Hollow Elementary Principal), Jory Schmidt (Cedar Valley Elementary Principal), Cami Larsen (Black Ridge Elementary Principal) and Trever Whiting (Athletic Trainer at Westlake).
Each team has been practicing since September. “They have to learn two dances in about 10 weeks to perform. They start in September and have until the week of the concert to be ready. We have a judging panel that comes in and gives a score to each of the couples, and the audience gets to put in a vote each night for their favorite couple,” says Jeffrey Sosa, the Westlake High School Ballroom dance instructor and director. According to Sosa, in addition to the competition, the concert is filled with the other performances from the varsity ballroom team, junior varsity ballroom team, and the freshmen team which is comprised of junior high-aged students from various schools. Westlake’s own Dance Company, and Lakeview Academy will also perform at the event. DJ Conger, the Ballroom Dance team’s booster president, recalls the first year they did this event, both Mayor Mia Love from Saratoga Springs and Mayor Heather Jackson participated in this event as the “star” dancers. Mia Love won the whole event that year. “It is a fun night and this year will be spectacular with several administrators competing for the title. My hope is that their students will come out and cheer and vote for their principals. We have voting each night and that is 50% of the score. Saturday night we will crown our victors,” says Conger. “Dancing Up a Storm” is on December 4th and 5th at 7 pm at Westlake High School auditorium. Tickets are $7 general admission and $5 for students.
Giving Thanks for First Responders
The Alpine Youth Council recently recognized first responders at Lone Peak police and fire departments at a special event, “Giving Thanks for our First Responders”. More than 30 first responders and their guests were honored guests at a special dinner on Nov. 12 at the Alpine Arts Center. “In light of all the negative press and ugly rhetoric directed at police officers across the country, the youth council thought this would be a meaningful service project to show appreciation to police officers and fire fighters,” Youth Council Adviser Amy Lundquist said. “From the minute it came up, they were excited to run with this idea.” After a performance of patriotic songs by the Lone Peak Chamber Choir and a slideshow by Alpine Youth Council member Victoria Black, letters from Governor Gary Herbert and Rep. Jason Chaffetz commemorating the occasion
were read aloud by youth council members. Alpine Mayor Don Watkins, Highland Mayor Mark Thompson and Rep. Mike Kennedy all shared remarks. Each first responder received a special gift bag and personal binder with letters of appreciation, from senior citizens, to people whose family members had been helped, to notes from elementary school children. “A great array of thank you notes,” Lundquist said. “The highlight of the evening for me was watching one of the officers and his wife passing their fussy baby back and forth,”she said. “It reminded me that these first responders are only human. Some people see police officers as either heroes or villains; we need to think of them as human.” “Everything for the event was donated by very generous local businesses and residents, including the venue, food and gifts”, Lundquist said. “It was so fantastic. It was a really fun way to honor our first responders,” she said.

Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting The October 20th Eagle Mountain
City Council meeting began with continuing discussion about items to be funded by the utility sale proceeds. Mayor Pengra said the city has been approved for a matching grant to complete the baseball complex for Wride Park. In addition, a developer in discussions with the State and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA), the major landowner in the area, is interested in providing a significant improvement to Wride Park. Mayor Pengra asked the city council to list their expectations for Wride Park. Ideas included: trees throughout the park; a splash pad; an amphitheater; highlighting the Pony Express Trail; playgrounds serving the needs of children of all ages from toddlers to teens; playground equipment for special-needs children; final completion of the ball field complex; and landscaping, including native landscaping required by SITLA Comments from City Council and Mayor Councilmember Steinkopf stated that in some cases, paying off low-interest debt isn’t financially beneficial. Councilmember Burnham explained that the land between City Center and The Ranches is owned by SITLA, which will not permit the city to widen the road. She felt it’s important to spend the utility funds on many diverse projects and that’s what the council is doing. Councilmember Ireland encouraged everyone who goes to the Food Truck Roundup to bring some canned food for the Youth Council donation drive. Councilmember Westmoreland was concerned about how low the voter turnout has been in this election cycle and encouraged everyone to vote. Councilmember Bradley supported the Special Events Committee and wanted individual council members to be involved in mentoring youth council members. Mayor
Pengra Mayor Pengra reserved comment until later in the meeting. Type I Diabetes Awareness A young Eagle Mountain resident contacted City Recorder Fionnuala Kofoed, asking if the council would pass a proclamation in support of Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Week, November 9-15. City Hall will be lighted with blue lights during that week, which is the signature color for Type 1 diabetes awareness. A motion passed unanimously declaring November 9 - 15 Type 1 Diabetes Awareness Week. Appointments Economic Development Board: Ryan Myers, 1 year term; Jim Rohan, 1 year term; Evan Berrett, 3 year term; and Christopher Jones, 3 year term. Ms. Kofoed administered the oath of office to those appointees who were able to attend the meeting. Scheduled Items A motion passed with a unanimous vote to adopt an ordinance amending the fiscal year 2015-2016 annual budget to include funding for the North Area waterline project in an amount not to exceed $3,221,615, the cost to be paid by the Water Fund. A motion was made to consider projects to be completed with the proceeds from the gas and electric utility sale. City staff has made inroads on the long list of projects that need completion. Projects remaining on the list: rodeo grounds fencing; 20-year celebration matching funds; trails completing connectivity from neighborhoods to main trails; medians in Pony Express and Ranches Parkways; park amenities match program; Wride Memorial Park; cemetery fence; Nolan Park splash pad upgrade; bike park improvements with benches, shade structures and trash cans along trails; Hidden Canyon detention pond completion; Silverlake amphitheater improvement; park restrooms. Projects removed from the list: spectator bleachers in smaller parks. Ms. Kofoed said city staff is committed to finishing the cemetery. The city
owes it to the residents to complete the cemetery out of respect for those who are and those who wish to be buried there. Mayor Pengra said the list will be further refined and discussed at the December 1 City Council meeting. A motion was passed 4:1(Councilmember Bradley dissenting) to approve the remaining projects to be completed with the proceeds from the gas and electric utility sale. Approved projects: utility account unpaid amounts in collection process; baseball complex; PE Trail native; finish completion of trails where gaps currently exist; re-landscape some medians on PE Parkway in the Ranches; landscape medians on PE Parkway in City Center; fencing at cemetery to ensure protection of the area; water reuse system in addition to some feature fixes; parking on north side of Nolan Park; pavilion with tables near splash pad at Nolan Park; finish landscaping of areas along trail system adjacent to PE Parkway; leverage EMC’s 20th anniversary to entice further economic development; fix areas of bike park that are in disrepair; completion of clean out area in the storm drain system at Hidden Canyon Park; create a series of slides on unfinished part of Silverlake Park; perimeter fencing for security purposes at rodeo grounds; bathroom kit that includes utility installation; improvements to undeveloped paseos in City Center; ensure ability to supply water from wells in emergency situations. Public Comments Jared Gray objected to $7.5M of the utility sale proceeds being spent on Wride Memorial Park when the residents of Eagle Mountain want parks improved throughout the city. Jeff Ruth was against spending $7M on Wride Memorial Park. He thought some of the money should be spread among the other parks. He also want-
ed road projects completed and Pony Express Parkway widened between City Center and The Ranches. Matt Visser, an advisor to the Youth City Council, announced the Youth City Council will be collecting food donations at the Food Truck Roundup. Wendy Lojik asked the council to work with her to involve citizen volunteers in gathering information from residents on how the proceeds of the utility sale might be spent. Mary Monson felt the government should be as debt-free as possible. She proposed spending some of the utility sale proceeds on a recreation center with a pool and basketball courts, which would benefit families in the city and attract businesses by providing amenities for their employees. Cody Hurst wanted the proceeds of the utility sale to be spent to maintain and upgrade existing city facilities and landscaping, rather than on new items. Joseph Jones asked that the utility sale proceeds be used for paying off debt rather than for purchasing nonessentials. Upcoming Items/Events Bag the Leaf - The city will once again be offering the Bag the Leaf collection program. The city will provide free leaf bags to residents through November 30, while supplies last. Bags can be picked up at City Hall or The Ranches HOA office. Curbside pick-up will be available on weekdays. Residents may email Larry at ldiamond@emcity.org to notify him when they have bags ready for pick up. For complete program information, please visit the city website, News section.

The Good Life I love seeing the leaves change color. Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. In the evening, I enjoy looking out and seeing the different colors, the setting sun and looking out toward the east and seeing all the beautiful hues this area offers. As the sun is setting and I am looking at the mountains...can I say “purple mountains Majesty”? What a beautiful sight! Oh yes, and watching a BYU football game on television and looking at the mountains in the background of Lavell Edwards Stadium. Better yet being at the stadium, in person, and looking at those beautiful mountains, that is the best. I love driving down SR 73 from Eagle Mountain and seeing the beauty of our valley. Drawing south on Redwood Road and looking towards the lake, then to the right and looking at the foothills surrounding our beautiful valley...yes, there is “beauty all around”.
Fall is a busy time for us as grandparents and parents, with soccer games, flag football games, and tackle football games for the youth. Then there are the high school activities that we attend. Yes, fall is a busy time and we all enjoy all of it. What I enjoy the most is the Thanksgiving season. The smell of turkey and my wife’s turkey dressing (yes, made from scratch), her potato salad...yes, we all have a favorite food, and I haven’t even mentioned the word pie! That is everyone’s favorite. This season I am able to have Thanksgiving with my son, Sterling Jr. and his beautiful wife and children. This will be the first time in 30 years I have been able to sit down and have Thanksgiving dinner with him. I am thankful to my wife Sandra, and my daughter Misty and her husband will be with us. They will let me watch some football. Yes, this old man lives the good life with the beauty of the mountains around him and a fat turkey on his table. Enjoy the season.

Cedar Hills City Council discussed resident issues regarding the golf course driving range at the City Council meeting Oct 20. Cookie Harr, (Mesquite Way) expressed concerns included golf balls on her lot, sidewalk, and nearby park. A ball had grazed a framer, and they had collected 200 balls in 3-4 weeks. Geddes suggested video surveillance as he thought many balls were hit purposefully over the net. Zappala added possibility of prohibiting woods outside lessons. Greg Gordon responded that players would diminish if woods are restricted on the range. Rees wanted an estimate on surveillance cameras, employee and extending poles. David Bunker suggested the golf course marshals frequent the range more. The council unanimously approved a resolution creating the Golf Course Finance Citizens Advisory Committee as constituted with the following members: Rick Stewart, David Driggs, Mark Webb, Pricilla Leek, Rob Olsen, Brent Aaron, Mark Horne, Mayor Gary Gygi, councilmembers Trent Augustus, and Rob Crawley, and staff members David Bunker, Chandler Goodwin, Greg Gordon, and Charl Louw. Then, the council unanimously voted to accept the findings and recommendations of the Golf Course Finance Citizens Advisory Committee and commended the entire committee for a job well done. An ordinance adjusting the common municipal boundary between the city of Cedar Hills and Pleasant Grove City was approved. Two ordinances amending Title
10 of the Cedar Hills Municipal Code were also approved unanimously. The amendments were regarding the development in required setback areas (unanimous vote), and signs with the final additional provisions to reduce the time to 14 days before and the first business day following the event and that it be restricted to no more than two signs. Before voting, Crawley amended the motion to limit to one sign at a time in the roundabout next to Walmart, and the vote approved the motion 3-2 with Rees and Zappala voting no. The council then unanimously voted to approve an ordinance amending the Cedar Hills Municipal Code, Title 9 regarding the mode of appointment and when decisions become effective. A resolution was also unanimously approved to authorize the execution of an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement between Utah County and the City of Cedar Hills regarding the 2015 November Election. Council approved a conditional-use permit for Genki Food Truck to operate in the SC-1 commercial zone, limited to the Chase Bank parking lot conditionally subject to the following conditions: that they would include only one truck at the site at a time, temporary signage for the truck, operation hours of 10 am to 9 pm and to keep garbage in the area cleaned up before and after operation. Vote for this approval was 4-1, with Rees voting no. Authorization was unanimously given to Cedar Hills to begin a winter food truck rally to operate at the Cedar Hills Event Center under approved guidelines with staff working closely with the vendors to address issues, concerns or problems as foreseeable with major concerns being brought to the council.
Lehi City Council Meeting After the consent agenda was approved at the Lehi City Council Meeting Oct 27, a public hearing was held regarding the Recreation, Arts, and Parks (RAP) sales tax proposed. Jason Walker presented Proposition 3 as a tax of 1/10th of 1 percent of sales tax and discussed where the money would be spent. The tax would be paid by anyone making a purchase in Lehi and did not apply to most food items and is not a property tax. The tax has a 10-year term and would raise $7-8 million in project revenue. Orem, American Fork, and Salt Lake County had previously imposed a RAP tax. During public comment, Michele Stalling expressed concern about already having enough taxes. The percentage may seem small but it adds up. She questions the need for the tax, stating that in her 10 years as a resident she has witnessed much city growth and that the city has a lot of revenue coming in already. Complaints have been made about parks and impact fees, including projects budgeted for but not completed. It seemed unnecessary to raise funds for unknown future projects when past projects haven’t be done. Mark McClane agreed with Stalling’s comments, adding that he was most
concerned about the broad wording about who could be involved and where the funds could be used, leaving very likely possibilities that the money would not go to parks at all. He felt that if the money was allocated strictly to parks, he would be in favor. Another public hearing followed in regards to the Lelegren Property Addition Annexation of approximately 7.125 acres at 3200 N 1200 W in Business Park zoning. No comments were made and the hearing closed before the council moved to approve the ordinance for the annexation subject to the completion of all development review and planning commission comments, and the resolution to approve the Annexation Agreement. The council also unanimously voted to grant the final subdivision approval for Dapple Gray Trail Plat A (2300 W 700 S), subject to development review committee comments, as well as to grant the concept plan approval for Indian Springs (826 N 1700 W). Also by unanimous vote, the council approved an ordinance for a zone change on property located at 514 W Main St, a Plat Amendment for Cresthaven Village Townhomes Plat 18, Plat 19, and Plat 20. The final subdivision approval for Botanical Point (1300 W Digital Dr) and Country Cove Estates Plat C (300 E 360 S) were also unanimously approved before the council entered a closed executive session.

Lehi Pioneers Win State 5-A Volleyball Title
By Dean With their head volleyball coach having decided to take up a teaching position at a new high school set to open on Lehi’s northern end next fall, the Lehi Pioneers dedicated their four state tournament matches to her, and they fulfilled their goal of winning the state 5-A volleyball title in a four-game contest against the Pleasant Grove Vikings Nov. 7. The Pioneers’ trip to that match began Nov. 5 with an opening-round match against the Jordan Beetdiggers on a court at Utah Valley University’s McKay Events Center.Game 1 of the Jordan match began with Pioneer Rachel Richards serving an ace. Kills by Rylin Roberts and Amber Lamborn soon produced a 5-2 lead for Lehi. Jordan quickly battled back to pull ahead 9-8 on hits from Kendra Dean and Hannah Sorenson. Aided by Richards and Sidney White’s serves, Marta Ellsworth joined Lamborn and Roberts in leading Lehi back out in front 11-9. Roberts and Lamborn’s hitting kept the Beetdiggers from catching up, even though Jordan continued staying close throughout most of the game. Near the end of it, White came up with strong serves that enabled Roberts to pound out a series of kills that gave Lehi a 25-16 win. Despite efforts from Dean and Sorenson, Jordan couldn’t put together an effective effort at the net in Game 2. Unsurprisingly, Lehi’s jump out to an early 7-0 that game soon led to a 25-9 win for Lehi through hits registered by Mikayla Upham. Upham’s hits helped Lehi secure a 14-2 lead in the third game. Not wanting to get polished in a hurry, Dean, Sorenson, and Lizzie Clark stirred up a rally that moved the Beetdiggers back within 22W 13. Roberts soon smacked two straight kills that gave Lehi a 25-13 win. It moved Lehi into a quarterfinal showdown with the Davis Darts, who had beaten Lehi for the 2011 state championship. In an effort to avoid a repeat of that match, Richards served an ace that sent Lehi out to a 3-1 lead in Game 1. Aubrey Leonhardt registered blocks and kills that gave Davis much energy. Leonhardt and
Hallee Conger strongly tested the Pioneers’ resolve throughout all three games of the match, especially in Game 1. Roberts, Upham, Ellsworth, and Faith Crabb didn’t let the Darts puncture Lehi’s title hopes, however. Those three Pioneers’ combined hitting produced a 25-20 win for Lehi in Game 1. In Game 2, Abby Rocha joined Conger, Leonhardt, and Mary Kate Buttars in rallying Davis back after Lehi had secured a 14-8 lead. A Conger kill put Davis within 16-13. That turned out to be the closest that the Darts could get to Lehi. Soon, an Ellsworth kill gave Lehi a 25-19 win. In the third game, the lead switched hands quite frequently as Rocha and Maddie Corelli showed strong leadership at the net for the Darts. Upham came forward to keep Rocha and Correlli from forcing the match into a fourth game. A Roberts kill gave Lehi a 25-21 win. “Holy cow, what a tough team Davis is today,” said Lehi Coach Jamie Ingersoll. “They stayed with us through all three games. Their No. 5 [Correlli] gave us great test with her aggressiveness at the net.” Ingersoll said that in Lehi’s semifinal match against the Bingham Miners on Nov. 7, “Our middles did an outstanding job of shutting down Bingham’s outside blockers. So we were able to win all three of our games against the Miners.” In the championship match against Pleasant Grove, the Pioneers showed that they wanted the 2015 state title trophy more than the Vikings did. While Pleasant Grove’s players made all sorts of mistakes during the four games of the state 5-A final, the Pioneers put forth an almost flawless performance. In fact, Roberts became Lehi’s version of the Energy Bunny as she kept moving back and forth across the net, frustrating the usually ferocious Vikings. Neither Sara Hamson nor any of the other Viking players could shut Roberts down. She kept registering devastating kills to Pleasant Grove. In Game 1, Roberts’ serving produced a 3-0 lead for Lehi. Kills by Kazna Tarawhitti and Hamson put the Vikings within 3-2. That turned out to be the closest
that they could get to catching up with Lehi. Lamborn, Crabb, and Upham held their own against very experienced Viking players like Kennedy Redd and Brooklyn Dahl as Lehi stayed ahead all throughout the first game. With Lehi winning Game 1 25-20, Pleasant Grove woke up to the fact that the Pioneers were indeed serious challengers. Game 2, a Hamson kill put the Vikings ahead 1-0, but Lehi stroked ahead 3-1. Pleasant Grove tied the game several times, but Lamborn and Roberts registered hits that tipped Lehi ahead. Hamson and Dahl’s hitting eventually gave the Vikings a 24-23 lead, but Roberts capitalized on a Viking blocking error by soon delivering a kill to make Lehi a 26-24 winner. Though the third game opened with a Hamson kill putting Pleasant Grove ahead 1-0, Roberts’ hitting and serving put Lehi back ahead 3-1. The Vikings battled ferociously to try forcing the match into a fourth game. The lead switched hands frequently as Roberts guided Lamborn and Upham in keeping Hamson and Malli Valguardson from doing severe damage to Lehi’s front row. However, a Redd ace gave Pleasant Grove a 27-25 lead. The fourth game went down as a nail-biter as Hamson battled the Lehi front with much fury. Lamborn, Roberts, and Upham kept that 6’4” Viking powerhouse from pounding Lehi’s state title hopes into ruins. In the meantime, the Vikings couldn’t shake themselves loose from the problem making hitting and serving errors at very crucial times. Lehi capitalized on Pleasant Grove’s mistakes to move closer to becoming the new state champ. Finally, a Viking hitting error gave Lehi a 25-23 win and the state championship trophy. “I loved how my players ended my time as coach by playing super good tonight,” said Ingersoll. “Their winning the state title was the greatest kind of ending to my story as Lehi’s head coach for these past 13 years.” “We wanted to win it for Jamie,” said Sidney White. Upham said, “I’m proud that we fought our way to win the title. We really believed in each other. That’s why we’re taking the championship trophy home tonight.”
Lehi Pioneers Fall in 5-Game Volleyball Match at PG Oct. 27
The Lehi Pioneers came so close on Oct. 27 to becoming the second team to beat the Pleasant Grove Vikings in Region Four volleyball play. However, the usually ferocious Vikings outlasted Lehi in a thrilling five-game match by scores of 25-27, 25-20, 25-21. 9-25, 15-10. Inspired by American Fork’s feat of having won at Pleasant Grove in late September, the Pioneers blazed their way out to a 3-1 lead on the hitting of Rylin Roberts and Sydney White’s serving. Not wanting to have a repeat of their home loss to American Fork, the Vikings unleashed a fierce comeback, paced by Sara Hamson and Brooklynn Dahl’s hitting. As soon as Pleasant Grove had tied Game 1 at 6-6, a Malli Valguardson kill put Pleasant Grove ahead 7-6. More switches in the lead occurred as Roberts and Hamson battled each other for control of the net. Roberts received strong backup from Marta Ellsworth, Rachel Richards, Faith Crabb, Mikayla Upham, and Amber Lamborn. Their strong support kept Hamson from doing severe damage to the Lehi front row, despite help she received from Tarawhitti, Valguardson, Dahl, and Kennedy Redd. Roberts’ hitting eventually earned Lehi a 27-25 win in the first game. The second game opened with Pleasant Grove taking a 2-0 lead. Great performances from Dahl and Hamson gave the Vikings better control of the momentum in Game 2 even though the efforts of Roberts and Ellsworth gave Lehi a 6-3 lead. Aided by Tania Muniz’s serving, Hamson’s spiking tipped Pleasant Grove ahead 7-6. More switches in the lead followed as the Vikings put forth a ferocious effort to keep Roberts under control and make Hamson remain a super strong threat to the Pioneers. Roberts and Richards’ combined hitting kept Lehi right behind the Vikings. Finally, Hamson tipped the ball into a Lehi hole to give Pleasant Grove a 25-20 win. For the third game, Pleasant Grove rolled out to an early 8-2 lead. Ellsworth and Upham stirred up a Pioneer rally that cut the lead to 8-7. Before Lehi could tie the score, Tarawhitti registered a kill that gave the Vikings momentum to stay narrowly ahead for the rest of Game 3. It ended with a Redd kill giving Pleasant Grove a 25-21 triumph. Viking fans expected that their team would finish off Lehi in the fourth game. It turned into a rerun of what happened to the Vikings on the rainy night that they hosted American Fork several weeks before. Continued on page 6

American Fork City Council
Saratoga Springs City Council Notes The city has hired Heston Williams as its Recreation Director. At the city council meeting November 10, he proposed to expand the city’s rec program. Saratoga Springs currently offers four youth programs: soccer, baseball, flag football, and Jr. Jazz basketball through 8th grade. Heston wants to keep these, and add many more youth and adult sports. He hopes residents will support cross-country, wrestling, sports camps, golf, track and field, tennis lessons and league, urban fishing, and volleyball for children and youth. He has men’s basketball and coed volleyball on tap for adults. Splash Days in June could have volleyball and 3-on-3 basketball tournaments. Fees for these will be in the same range as current programs, which are very affordable. Interested residents can check the city’s website to register starting December 1, 2015 for men’s basketball and continuing over the next few months. Go to saratogaspringscity.com for more details.
Residents living near Thunder Ridge Elementary School are concerned about the proposed development going in across the street near Pony Express. The developer of Lexington Green, LeVar Christensen, petitioned the council to change zoning. He would like to build more homes and apartments per acre than he currently has permission to do. He received feedback from members of the council, but no decision was made this month. Mr. Christensen is still entitled to apply for what he is asking for, even though city officials were not happy with his request. Specifically, he would like to rezone from R6 to R10, meaning going from six homes per acre to ten per acre instead. Erica Groneman represented several concerned neighbors of the project opposing the change. She noted that the drawings look nice, but no one wants more apartments than have already been approved. Residents are also concerned about the overall density of the project. The northern part of Saratoga Springs has most of the multifamily housing units. It’s time to spread these buildings around the city, if any more need to be constructed at all.
Lehi Pioneers Fall in 5-Game Volleyball Match at PG Oct. 27 Continued from page 5 The Vikings hurt themselves by making frequent bad hits and missing key serves. Lehi capitalized on Pleasant Grove’s errors. Roberts and Richards guided the Pioneers in taking a 9-1 lead. Roberts, Lamborn, and Crabb didn’t let the Vikings row back into the game as they registered long strings of devastating hits. A Lamborn tip gave Lehi a 25-9 win. White guided the Pioneers out to a 2-0 lead in Game 5. Hamson made sure that it didn’t turn into a repeat of the fifth game of the loss to American Fork. That very tall Viking delivered
hits that propelled Pleasant Grove out in front midway through the game. Before long, the Vikings secured a 14-10. Viking Coach Alyce Jones sent Bailey Nixon, an all-state player who had missed much of this season because of a knee injury, to deliver the final serve. During it, Hamson blocked a Lehi shot to give the Vikings the match point and sole possession of the Region Four volleyball title. The match was the last one that Pleasant Grove would play in its main gym. Next season, the Vikings are going to be playing in a field house that’s being built onto their school.
s Watts Automotive was expanding, Mayor Hadfield opened public comments regarding the need to build a building over an easement that had no utilities, so it would be vacated, as well as the easement near Mac Plumbing, as it wasn’t needed. There were no public comments. Members of the American Fork Youth Court who came forward during the meeting for swearing-in, and to take the Oath of Office: Ashlyn Baker, James Cecil, Mariah Hayes, Shea Hennen, Talia Keetch, Lexi Sorensen, Bethanne Pyper, Kalea Lum, Mary Snow, Summer Hennen, Tate Trinnaman, Danny Vanderhoff, Kaydee Davis, Sage Adams, Swayzie Eastman, Tyler Heath. Advisors Mallory Morriss and Sabrina Hennen were also recognized. The Consent Agenda, including the minutes, city bills for payment and purchase requests over $25,000, and the authorization to release the Improvements Durability Retainer for the Grey Subdivision, was approved 4 to 1, with Carlton Bowen voting nay. From the Consent Agenda, it was unanimously approved to release the improvements construction guarantee in the amount of $11,700 and issue a Notice of Acceptance for the retention basin at Village Green Condominiums (34 S 700 E). The Approval of Sale of real property to Cookie Corad and Frank Volpe at approximately 530 N 100 E was discussed. A sale of 750 sq. ft. of the property was approved unanimously, with Rob Shelton abstaining from the vote. The appointment of Nathan Mecham to the PARC Tax Committee was
approved with a 4 to 1 vote. Carlton Bowen voted nay, as he expressed opposition to the PARC Tax, the committee, and the sales tax increase. He felt it opened up the city to legal liability down the road. Unanimously approved: Motions to adopt the ordinances approving the vacations easements at 413 E 620 S, and at 716 S 500 E were approved unanimously; an ordinance approving a historic building conservation project for the Star Mill (615 N 150 E); the ordinance to approve amendments to various sections of the Off-Street Parking Standards and incorporating the entirety of the Off-Street Parking Standards into the American Fork City Development Code (Carlton Bowen abstained on this item); the development agreement with Clyde Properties LLC for Loefler Park Twin Homes, Plat A; the Boley II Annexation consisting of 79.40 acres at 200 S 800 W, including the annexation agreement and placement of the property in the residential zone; the Duncan Annexation of 20.54 acres at 570 W 700 S, the Frandsen-Gray Annexation of 28.54 acres at 1100 S 100 E, and the Pulley Annexation of 79.40 acres at 200 S 800 W; the resolution to approve a revised Supplement Watershed Agreement No. 13 for the rehabilitation of the Dry Creek Debris Basin (Carlton Bowen abstaining).

great idea. Other people, like me, believe in meat. There are many reasons you might consider this vegetarian-friendly turkey instead of the traditional fare. This tofu turkey includes the traditional steps: stuffing, basting, and baking. You can find a recipe at allrecipes.com 4. The Turducken. To prepare this unique turkey, you must first stuff a chicken, and then stuff that chicken inside a duck, and then stuff that duck inside your turkey. An example of decadence at its “fowl-est,” you can find a recipe at allrecipes. com. 5. Cthurkey. The Turducken’s horrifying cousin, this turkey was invented by H.P. Lovecraft fan, Rusty Eulberg. The meal was based off of Lovecraft’s fantasy creature, the Cthulhu. The disturbing turkey is stuffed with octopus, overlaid with bacon, and set atop crab legs to create a terrifying, spider-like masterpiece. You can find out more about Eulberg and his creation on foxnews.com Whether you’re going for the traditional meal, or you’re ready to try something new, we’d like to wish all of you a very happy Thanksgiving.
