Fairfield Father and Son “Dropped” into Alaska to “Be Alive” for 28 Days When RL Panek of Fairfield was diagnosed with stage two brain cancer—and then beat it—he celebrated by going on a moose hunt. Subsequently, his son and hunting partner, Kaid—along with other family members—told RL that he should do more than just go hunting: they suggested to him that he start checking off some of the major items on his “bucket list.” And boy did he ever start doing just that…

Not long after, RL was watching the Sportsman Channel and witnessed the premier of the show “Dropped: Project Be Alive.” RL had always looked up to hosts, Chris and Casey Keefer, and was instantly hooked on the show. When the hosts announced a video submission contest where two winners would accompany them on their next survival adventure, RL jumped at the chance to check off a bucket list item in a major way. He and his son, Kaid, entered their video (shot in their backyard), and won.

RL and Kaid Panek, along with show hosts Chris and Casey Keefer, were dropped into the Alaskan wilderness for 28 days to hunt and survive. The adventure was filmed, and the twelve-episode Sportsman Channel series aired its first episode a couple of weeks ago, on October 8.

The two show hosts usually hunt together, but this time paired off, each with one of the two Paneks. RL was paired with Casey Keefer and Kaid with Chris Keefer. The two teams competed against each other, living in separate camps. The goal for both teams: make it out of the Alaskan wilderness alive by hunting to survive.

For both father and son the ordeal was an adventure of a lifetime. Kaid Panek

waxes philosophical about the event and life in general: “I think that a lot of people don’t realize how wrapped up we are in ‘first world’ problems: worrying about who we are Facebook friends with, how much battery life our phones have, etc. It [was] crazy to [have] that all taken away at a single moment. You have to go back to the raw basics of survival, food, water, and shelter. It’s crazy how much you take for granted--like a hot shower or going to McDonalds when you’re hungry. It makes you find yourself. The ‘true you.’ It uncovers so much. You learn a lot about yourself in situations like that because it is such a roller coaster ride.”

The four survivalists obviously made it out alive. Looking back on the trip, Kaid says, “Just watching the season unfold brings back the overwhelming emotions [we] felt at the time. Plus, being from Fairfield, I never would have thought to see myself as a co-host of a national TV show. How crazy.”

RL, as well as his son, Kaid, grew up in Fairfield. RL Panek owns and operates Cedar Valley Auto in Fairfield. Kaid is employed nearby as the irrigation manager at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. Both are avid hunters. RL had been hunting for 20 years before his son, Kaid was born.

Kaid says, “It has been a family tradition and has been in our blood. Hunting has been a great way to connect and share many memories together. We both bow hunt quite a bit and always find ourselves pretty busy by the time fall rolls around.

We have hunted our whole lives, but in all reality, nothing can compare to the Alaskan experience.”

When asked about his future plans, Kaid Panek stated that he would be going back to Alaska. He concludes, “Once you go, it always holds a place in your heart.

It’s just like watching the sunset across the summer grain fields in the valley: you explain it, but people don’t get it unless they witness it for themselves.”

Should We Spend 7.5 Million of Utility Sale Profits on Cory Wride Park?

Photo by The Crossroads Journal

Whether you were in favor of the sale of the Eagle Mountain utility to Rocky Mountain/Questar or not, there is definitely a positive aspect to the sale that cannot be denied: the profits. The sale of the utility gave the City of Eagle Mountain several million dollars for use to benefit the city and its residents. With the countless ways the money can be used comes concern over some of the early proposals of how to best spend the money. For example, there has been concern expressed over the possibility of the City Council steamrolling all the money from the utility sale into one park—namely, Cory Wride Park.

EM resident said, with regard to the possibility, says, “Last City Council meeting they tossed around the idea of putting up to half of the utility sale proceeds (about $7 million) into Cory Wride park. I’m not a big fan of that idea.

I’d rather see improvements made to our existing parks. We would be able to add bathrooms to and upgrade a LOT of our smaller parks with that money. Maintenance on CW park would also be a pretty big chunk of change.” Other residents feel as though the decision to spend so much of the money on Cory Wride Park has been made without their input—a result of being too busy with their lives to have noticed what’s going on. Mayor Pengra had the following to say during a recent City Council meeting regarding the use of the funds: “We are… beginning the process of identifying ways in which a small portion of the funds will be spent

to make a meaningful impact on our community and quality of life. The money that was received from the sale of the utilities belongs to the residents and we will exercise careful stewardship of those funds and provide a clear plan for how those funds will be utilized before moving forward.” Pengra also mentioned that the city has paid off over $26,000,000 in debt.

“We are firmly on the path to operating from a position of financial strength, and our future is exciting,” he adds.

Many of the council members have expressed interest in putting money into a “destination” park. Councilmember Bradley stated that he would like to see “a destination park as an improvement to Wride Memorial Park.” The following summarizes the priorities placed on spending the funds by the various council members: Councilmember Steinkopf wanted to spend the money on “impact projects,” those that would benefit the residents the most, but wouldn’t be covered by the city budget in the near future; Councilmember Burnham also wanted a destination park, but one that would serve a lot of residents, specifically a small component of that to be designed for autistic children; Councilmember Ireland agreed that a destination park, perhaps a discovery park, would be a good use for the funds; Councilmember Westmoreland wanted to ease Eagle Mountain’s bond burden and save the city and taxpayers money, promote an active, healthy lifestyle, and use water in a productive way; and Councilmember Bradley wants to “build something that will last for a long time,” pay off debt and invest.

Halloween Family Fun at Maple Dell’s Haunted Ghost Trails The natural woods and scenery of Utah National Parks Council flagship camp, Maple Dell, will be home to ghosts and goblins during the second annual Haunted Ghost Trails. Haunted Ghost Trails is a walk-through Halloween activity for families of all ages. For the little kids who don’t want much of a scare, but still want to have fun, there will be a short family walk on a trail without anything real scary. Most of the things the visitors will see on this tour are stationery displays. After the walk, families can go to a canopy and hear Halloween stories read to them, there will also be a pumpkin carving station and an area where they can roast marshmallows around a fire barrel.

According to David Johnson, camp director, there is a longer walk through the woods for older children who want a bigger scare. This walk will have “scare-ers” stationed at different intervals throughout the path. “There is no gore or chainsaws, just good suspense and some scary crea-

tures,” says Johnson.

This is the second year Maple Dell has done Haunted Ghost Trails. “My camp staff has said for years that parts of the camp were pretty scary to walk through in the dark and that we ought to do a haunted trail, so last year we started it and we had lots of people come who really enjoyed it,” says Johnson. All the tour guides and “scare-ers” volunteer their time each weekend. “My staff loves their jobs!” explains Johnson. Hot chocolate and donuts will be for sale. The trading post camp store will also be open. Parking is limited, so the camp encourages large groups to carpool.

Haunted Ghost Trails will be held October 9, 10, 16, 17, 23, 24 and 30 from 7:30-10 pm. The cost is $2 per person or $8 for a family of 6. (Every additional member is $2 each). Families should plan about an hour to an hour and a half for the activity. Visitors can purchase their tickets at the trading post when they arrive at the camp.

Maple Dell is located at 14166 S. Payson Canyon Road in Payson, just five miles up Payson Canyon on Nebo Loop on the west side of the road. For more information call 801-717-5624 or email david.johnson@scouting.org.

Hero honored for saving boy in pit bull attack

By Linda Petersen A hero was recently recognized by American Fork Fire and Police Departments.

On Oct. 13 Fire Chief Kriss Garcia and Police Chief Lance Call paid tribute to Cesar Helaman Villela who recently saved a young boy, Colby (last name withheld), from a pit bull attack on Sept. 3.

Around 3:45 p.m. that day, a woman, Nicole (last name withheld) was babysitting Colby, age 8, and his infant sibling when she approached the door of a home around 57 East 400 South. When the homeowner opened the door, a pit bull escaped and attacked Colby who was standing near the curb. As Nicole was trying to grab the pit bull off the boy, Villela and his father-in-law were driving by in a pick-up truck and saw what was happening.

At the Oct. 13 City Council meeting Garcia recounted that, as she fought the dog, Nicole prayed out loud. “‘I cannot do this by myself,’ she said. She ended up being able to pick up this dog off him until he got recaptured and was on this kid again,’” he

funds to pay off SAAs and place in CDs; unfinished cemetery project; and a splash pad in City Center.

Additionally, Mayor Pengra requested $1M from the proceeds of the utility sale for water projects in the city. He explained that Utah is the second driest state in the nation, but has one of the highest per-capita rates of water use. He says that all the money is to be invested in projects and he expected that all the money would be spent within two to three years.

It would seem apparent that utility sale proceeds are being considered for many projects; nonetheless, there still seems to be concern by many over the possibility that a giant portion of the funds will be spent on one park. Because of this, it’s important for Eagle Mountain residents to stay informed and become involved in how these funds will be spent.

There are a lot of good ideas being put forth; make sure your voice is heard.

On Tuesday October 20, 2015 at the City Council meeting a motion was passed to fund the $7.5M to Cory Wride Park and additional funds at other parks throughout Eagle Mountain City. More information will be available in the November 7, 2015 issue of The Crossroads Journal.

said. “The kid was just getting tore apart by this pit bull,” Garcia said.

“Helaman, who has been around dogs a lot, knew he had to cover Colby’s face. He put his hands in front of Colby’s face while the dog was tearing him apart. Then he picked him up and put him in the back of his truck and drove around the corner, then called 9-1-1,” Garcia added.

Whether it was an answer to that prayer or coincidence, Villela was not supposed to be driving along that particular street at that time. He had been on his way to the freeway and had accidentally missed the on-ramp. He was driving through the neighborhood trying to find his way to the next on-ramp.

Garcia said that when he and his crew arrived on the scene, the back of the truck was covered in blood because the dog had tried to jump back into the truck to attack the child again. Call later said that Colby’s injuries were extensive. “They were much like you’d expect from a bear attack,” he said. However, Colby was able to leave the

hospital after a couple of days, he said.

Call also said that the pit bull had been destroyed.

For his part, Villela, who suffered several dog bites himself, was just glad he was in the right place at the right time. “It was a really neat experience, even though it was an unfortunate situation. We’ve made a lot of friends,” he said. “I’m really grateful I was able to see that, to stop and help.” “Pit bulls are really beautiful animals, but you have to have a certain respect for them.

In this situation it caused a lot of damage and hurt,” he added.

Garcia presented Villela with the Honorary Firefighter Award which included the words: “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.”

Following that presentation, Call presented Villela with the police department’s Heroes in the Community award. “It’s exceptional when someone goes out of their way and puts themselves in harm’s way to save another individual. This was definitely a save that day and we appreciate his efforts,” Call said.

By Jennifert Chamberlain

As the city elections approach, I’d like to challenge voters to ponder about how they choose candidates and decide which propositions to vote for or not to vote for.

A study of the Constitution and Constitutional principles is the best way to begin.

If we don’t understand the principles that brought us freedom, how can we expect to vote for candidates who will uphold them?

Often citizens vote for candidates who dangle entitlements, appealing to the majority. This allows the majority to take from the minority through legal means. This is immoral. At the close of the Constitutional Convention, a lady asked Dr. Franklin what form of government we had. His response was “A republic . . . if you can keep it”. I have heard citizens and politicians say that our “democracy” allows the majority to decide what we can or cannot have in our society. Let us remember the warnings of our founding Fathers...John Adams wrote, “There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.” James Madison wrote in Federalist 10 that “Democracies have, in general, been as short in their lives as they have been violent in

said, “Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch”.

Our Founders opposed Democracy; our society now promotes it.

The proper role of government is to protect our natural rights, which are God-given. It is not to secure whatever materialistic desire we have through legalized plunder, which Frederic Bastiat explained as follows: “See if a law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime.”

We should put aside our personal wants and not vote for laws or politicians who will commit legalized plunder.

Otherwise, we are breaking two of God’s commandments: coveting and stealing. I believe most people are good and have not considered this. As a society, we’ve been committing legal plunder for decades without thinking about it. This needs to stop. If there is an issue on the ballot that appeals to one group of peo-

oppose it. One example would be Proposition 1, which will increase our sales tax in order to give 40% of that tax to UTA. Taxes like these are a tax burden for all and only provide a service for a few. Each small tax is adding up to 40-50% of the income of many, not including inflation. If this proposition passes, Utah County will have one of the highest sales tax in the state of Utah. Unnecessary taxes reduce the citizen’s ability to be self-reliant and take care of their family. Some who are sick can no longer afford their bills, because of a little tax here and a little tax there. Charity and unnecessary amenities should be done privately, not through force by taxation. Watch out for candidates who promise amenities such as recreation centers or other sorts of entertainment, no matter how small they say the cost will be.

Government is there to make sure all citizen’s unalienable rights are preserved, not to give selected groups of citizens what they want at the expense of others.

Please remember that it is our duty to not only vote, but to vote for those who will do what is right.

The Good Life On September 12th at the Hilton Gardens in Sandy, a group of 85 alumni and their significant others gathered for the Jordan High School Class of 1965 reunion, a 50th year celebration of the Beet Diggers living the good life. The evening was spent with three hours of mingling with one another and enjoying each other’s company.

There were laughs, there were tears, as we all mourned over each alum’s challenges in life. Yet, we rejoiced how each of us overcame those challenges and how we survived the bumps and bruises of life. We praised and encouraged one another to keep moving forward. We even said silent prayers for those who needed extra help from a different power. We then took turns standing around a memorial of those who are no longer with us. There were forty-eight of these dear friends that have passed on. Several of these are right from the small community where I lived, kids I spent grades one through twelve with, time at church with, time playing together with in the community, before and

after we did our chores, of course. I was very sad that these friends are no longer with us and can’t enjoy the good life as I do. I am a blessed man.

Life is a precious gift, enjoy each moment of it. Do not take anything for granted. Be grateful for the good moments, accept the challenges or the bumps in the road.

Learn from those bumps and prepare yourself for what follows. Go about it with the proper mental and spiritual attitude.

We again will be able to enjoy the good life and be able to withstand those obstacles.

I thought back to those dear friends that have gone on before us. Maybe, just maybe, they were needed elsewhere and are enjoying the good life also. Just a thought, ponder that for a moment. I did, and I think I am a better person by learning from all the class of 1965, both deceased and living alumni friends that have taught me how to live a good life.

Thank you, Jordan High fellow Beet Diggers.

P.S. It’s also a small world, folks. Connie Allen, who lives in Saratoga Springs, read a “Good Life” article in The Crossroads Journal and was able to track down my address and invite me to this class reunion. I also found out that Wendy Visser Lojik, our publisher, is the daughter of one of my fellow alumni, Steve Visser.

This year’s theme at Cornbelly’s celebrates Minions and the 20th season that designer and maze creator Brett Herbst, first introduced corn mazes to Utah in 1996. “This year is very special because we are celebrating 20 years since we first introduced corn mazes to Utah,” said Herbst. “Though we’ve since gone on to create nearly 3,000 mazes in the last two decades for farms all over the world, it all began here in Utah and we want to thank our fans and make them the center of an extra-fun celebration this year.”

There are several new attractions and activities this year at Cornbelly’s. Some of these include monkey and trick dog shows, apple blasters, farm golf, a zipline, a life-size pool and foosball. There are 40 other fall attractions that will keep kids and parents of all ages entertained. These attractions include a jumbo jumper, pig races, kiddie corral, duck races, gemstone mining, inflatables, a climbing wall, rat rollers, a singing chicken show, farm hayrides, a cow train, Cole’s corral foam paintball, pumpkin princess playland, pumpkin tetherball, a mechanical bull, a giant rat maze, and the giant slide.

For those guests that dare to be scared, Insanity Point, is the haunted area of Cornbelly’s which begins October 9 at

dark on Friday and Saturday nights (plus Thursday night of UEA weekend). This area has The Creature, Cage Maze, Hay Maze, Big Top Terror and Buried Alive.

After dark, Insanity Point costs extra and requires a separate wristband. This scare zone is recommended for ages 12+. Insanity Point is completely separate from the rest of Cornbelly’s for families that want to avoid seeing anything scary.

Cornbelly’s is open until October 31, Monday through Saturday. The hours are Monday through Thursday from 4-9 pm; Friday and Saturday from 10 am-11 pm.

Cornbelly’s is located at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. Discounts are given for field trips, churches, and groups of 15 or more.

Eagle Mountain Youth Council Making a Difference It’s always encouraging to see people taking care of one another, but it seems to be extra inspiring when we see the youth of a community reaching out. It gives us hope for the future, and that is exactly what the Eagle Mountain Youth Council is doing; Reaching out.

The Eagle Mountain Youth Council meets twice a month in the City Council chambers. The council members and offices are all filled by teenagers. They even have their own mayor. But these civic minded teens aren’t just playing at politics, they are working to make real changes. “We’re just a bunch of teenagers who want to make a difference,” says Belle Foster, the Youth City Recorder. She goes on to say how Eagle Mountain is a small community, and the youth council is working to bring in more opportunities.

She also mentions that they are willing to help in whatever way they can. Their latest project is working with a food drive known as Jesus Feeds. “[It’s] a group that was started by two people who just realized there were a bunch of families

they knew who weren’t getting enough food,” says Youth Council Mayor, Brittany Shunn.

She goes on to explain the origins of Jesus Feeds. The group feeds over 75 families in the area, providing supply boxes with two week’s worth of food.

Jesus Feeds puts together these boxes and gives them out every other Saturday, and they are looking for volunteers. Enter Eagle Mountain Youth Council.

The council has taken up the cause of the food drive. They will be targeting the ever-popular food truck rallies, first passing out fliers to make patrons aware, and then collecting the food the following week. “We’d just like [people] to know that if they’d like, volunteers are needed,” Shunn says. It’s an important cause and the youth of Eagle Mountain are working hard to help those who need it most. And because of that, we are both inspired and grateful.”

Those interested in donating to Jesus Feeds can find out more information from the youth council. Those youth interested in becoming a part of the council can join by attending meetings, every second and fourth Wednesday at the city office buildings.

Once again, Utah’s legendary Rocky Mountain range ewes, known as the one of the toughest herd of sheep in the world, took on all comers (sheepdogs and their trainers) at this year’s Soldier Hollow Classic. Last year’s event was dominated by the Canadian competitors and this year was no different. Amanda Milliken won gold with her dog, Dorrey, and also silver with her dog, Howell. Rounding out the medals sweep for the Canadians was Scott Glenn and his dog Don, winning the bronze. Ron Enseroth and his dog Mirk won the Vita Bone Shootout.

The attendance for this year’s finals was a whopping 18,000 with a total attendance for the event topping 32,000.

It’s quite a tough competition for these sheepdogs who face ewes who are likely to turn and fight or scatter and head for the top of the hill where there are no fences. These Border Collies are said to be the world’s best sheepdogs and it’s their job to reassure the sheep that “all will be well if they just fall into line and do what is needed.” The dogs perform these feats while remaining attentive to detailed instruction, whistles and calls from their handlers.

The Soldier Hollow Classic, sponsored

by Vita Bone, is one of the world’s premier sheepdog championships and festivals, Nestled against the picturesque mountains of Midway in the Heber Valley, what better place could there be for this world class competition? The event is directed by founder, Mark Petersen, who years ago went over to the United Kingdom to get a Border Collie pup and to see a sheepdog championship and loved what he saw.

The Solder Hollow Classic just turned thirteen this past Labor Day and has grown into the biggest event in the world, according to Petersen.

Regarding choosing Soldier Hollow in Midway for the event, Petersen says, “It took another eight years until Soldier Hollow was built for the right place to exist, but as soon as I saw [it], the first thing I thought when I got out of the parking lot was ‘Sheepdog Championship.’” He adds, “In terms of how many people attend, the next closest show is only about half as big.”

The event boasts that is has the “best fair food in Utah,” with around fifteen food booths. There is also entertainment for kids to keep them occupied during the event.

Reflecting upon thirteen years of directing the Soldier Hollow Classic, Mark Petersen concludes, “It’s something to be proud of. It’s fun to know how honored people are who are invited to compete in it.”

Church History Museum Reopens with More Hands-On Exhibits

You can always find time to work out at Anytime Fitness We all know that staying fit and get-

ting enough exercise is essential to living a long and healthy life, but finding a good time to do so can be difficult. Sometimes we don’t feel like we have time until the middle of the night. And where can you go to work out at that time?

Fortunately for us, there is a 24-hour gym located conveniently in Saratoga Springs. It’s called Anytime fitness. It’s a part of a nationwide franchise, but it is locally owned and operated, and dedicated to making certain that customers receive the best possible experience.

Kimberly Trupp worked in the fitness industry in Colorado, when she and her business partner, Jamie Dodge, decided they wanted to open a gym of their own.

Dodge had family in the area, and the partners saw a great potential to bring the health industry to Saratoga Springs.

“I feel the environment is very welcoming, which kind of breeds success,”

Trupp says about their location. She emphasizes that the gym is a comfortable place to work out, because it is compact.

Some gyms are so large they are intimidating, but Trupp’s gym gives a more intimate feel. And she believes that it is that comfortable feeling that makes their location so successful and helps their customers achieve success.

Because Anytime Fitness is part of a franchise, members can use any of the 2,500 gyms across the country, which is great when traveling, but that doesn’t really compare to the benefits of using the gym closer to home. Trupp offers a two-week free trial membership. Those who sign-up after the trial receive their first month of membership free. There are also two personal trainers on the premises who offer free consultations. “[To] help people feel more confident, and more healthy, and just better about themselves is really what it boils down to,” Trupp says.

Anytime Fitness is located at 328 East SR 73, Saratoga Springs, UT 84045.

Hours of operation are 24 hours a day.

After an extensive year-long renovation, the Church History Museum in downtown Salt Lake, opened its doors again on September 30, and now includes new exhibits, modern technology, and more hands on exhibits.

Museum director, Alan Johnson, explains why families should visit the museum now that they have made some major changes. “We have blended artifacts, art, and select technology to help share our history in ways that we haven’t done before. With a mix of exhibits and activities, we believe we have something for everybody to enjoy.”

According to Johnson there are 35 elements that visitors can open, peek into, listen to, watch, turn or handle throughout the exhibit.

The renovation includes a new lobby, an expanded museum store and an entire new exhibit on the first floor which is called, “The Heavens Are Opened,” which, according to a press release from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, focuses on how the hand of God guided the establishment of the Church through the Prophet Joseph Smith and others through the time the Saints left Nauvoo.

According to the press release there are 223 artifacts in the museum, 34 documents, 30 art pieces and 34 artifact replicas, which makes a total of 321 items, 257 of which are actual historic items.

The crowning point and center of the new exhibit is a 220-degree theater that gives visitors a sense of being in the Sacred Grove while watching a seven minute film about the First Vision. The Vision Theater has 103 acoustical springs attached to the ceiling. While making the film for this theater, actual ambience sounds were recorded in the Sacred Grove using a specialized 13-channel microphone setup.

Other unique hands-on activities that are part of the “Heavens Are Opened” exhibit are: visitors can sit at a small desk and use modern technology to attempt to be a scribe, there is a large interactive touch screen to learn about the early mission travels of Wilford Woodruff, Par-

ley P. Pratt, and Heber C. Kimball; there is a large display of the Newel K. Whitney Store and Kirtland Temple, and visitors can stand in a life-size replica of the Liberty Jail to get an idea of what the space was like that Joseph and others lived in for four months in 1839.

Interesting artifacts in the museum include: pistols and revolvers used at Carthage Jail, Hyrum Smith’s trousers that he wore at the time of Carthage Jail, John Taylor’s pocket watch, window bars from Liberty Jail, Alvin Smith’s lap desk, a Kirtland Temple window and a replica of the Nauvoo Temple Sunstone. Another part of the new exhibit features the organization of the Relief Society, which is now considered one of the largest women’s organizations in the world.

“Our team worked with artisans and museum specialists from across the country and it was wonderful to see everyone pull together in a unified way to accomplish this work. From the newly commissioned works of art being completed on time, to the taking out of the old escalators in the lobby, we have seen the Lord’s hand in steering this work to completion. It has been a very humbling and rewarding experience,” says Johnson.

The Church History Museum has not had a renovation or exhibit change to this degree since 1987, four years after it opened.

Renovating a museum is no small undertaking. According to the press release from the Church there were 996 items removed from the last exhibit. 5,284 items were moved to new storage areas and 16,284 items were tagged and inventoried as part of the process. The museum used 800 boxes to move or store items, 115 shipping pallets and 1,000 feet of tissue paper.

Other exhibits on the second floor of the museum are: Tell Me the Stories of Jesus, Presidents of the Church, and a new children’s exhibit, I’ll Walk Where Jesus Walked.

The Church History Museum is located west of Temple Square and north of the Family History Library. The address is 45 North West Temple Street in Salt Lake City. The museum is open to the public and it is free of charge. The hours are: Monday - Friday 9 a.m. - 9 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., and closed on Sundays.

Over this last year a course was put together in Eagle Mountain with volunteers and assistance from a couple of local Eagle Scouts. This course has been a great location for both practices and

competition. A total of 908 athletes and 3000 spectators attended the 4th race of 5 races this season on Oct 10. The next race is in St. George Oct 24th. Open enrollment is during April and May.

Cemetery costs going up in Alpine Alpine City is increasing burial prices at the city cemetery at 300 North Grove Drive. City officials became concerned recently about an increase in nonresidents being buried in Alpine, because it has lower burial costs than some surrounding cities. “Alpine City Cemetery is becoming the burial place of choice for people outside the city, because it is cheaper than other cemeteries,” City Administrator Rich Nelson told the City Council Sept.

8. “Because of this and other factors, the cemetery is running out of lots,” Nelson said.

The city has plans to expand the cemetery, but in the short-term this is a significant issue. Nelson said it was important to have plots available for Alpine residents.

Prior to the change, Alpine City

charged residents $800 for a plot and nonresidents $1,300. Alpine residents will now pay $985 for a plot and nonresidents will pay $1,500. Ex-resident costs for plots (which were formerly $1,000) and interment (formerly $250/$450) have been eliminated. Weekday interment costs for residents will increase from $150 to $600 (from $250 to $1,000 for nonresidents) and from $375 to $850 (from $450 to $1,500 non-resident) for weekends. Disinterment charges are increasing from $400 to $1,500. There has been no change in charges for infant burial, which is $125 ($350 for nonresidents) on weekdays and $350 ($400 nonresident) on weekends. Burials on major holidays (New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving or Christmas) are no longer available. Other holiday burials may be arranged through the city office.

The new costs go into effect in early November.

Saratoga Springs City Council Notes The City Council met September 15.

According to councilwoman Shellie Baertsch, it was a productive meeting.

“There are several code changes that we made to allow for easier understanding by residents, common sense use, and returning of property rights for better use of yards. One of which was for corner lot fencing - Corner lots can now legally do what makes sense and what many of you have been doing. Your street side fence can be built against the back of sidewalk unless you are up against your neighbor’s driveway (or close to it). Then you just need to leave the clear sight triangle (of 15’) open for safety, either by decreasing the fence height to 3’ in that area or by angling the corner. We wouldn’t want to run over neighborhood kids. This should allow residents to better use/plan their yards how they want.”

Councilwoman Rebecca Call has announced that she is withdrawing from the November election because she and her family are leaving Utah. Other council members thanked her for her service and praised her for her attention to detail and countless hours of work for our city.

She will finish out her term to December 2015.

The council is also discussing changing the zoning around Utah Lake and the banks of the Jordan River to better develop it for residential and commercial use. They are still in the planning stages and welcome community input. Whether residents envision a natural and undeveloped ambiance, or riverwalk atmosphere, much like San Antonio, now is the time to let the city know.

A themed train park, Shay Park will open to the public in mid-November with its scaled-down rail and steamer train scheduled for completion by Fall 2016.

It is located in Aspen Hills, just north of Walmart and west of Riverview Elementary School. “It’s phenomenal,” said Shellie Baertsch. “We have been waiting for the park for so very, very long and we finally got access to all of the land,” she said. “Now we are pleased to be able to give these amenities to the residents.”

Construction is underway. The 12acre park will contain a railroad-themed playground, restrooms with a railroad station look, a large pavilion with eight picnic tables, two multipurpose playing fields and walking trails. It is not being built without controversy. Residents of Harvest Hills whose backyards face the park are concerned that the train will be built at the top of the raised berm near their property lines. They worry about the noise and loss of privacy. There is a meeting scheduled later this month that will hopefully solve these issues. Residents can contact the city for specific dates if they would like to attend.

American Fork City Council At the American Fork City Council meeting on Sept 22, a Community Service Award was presented to Jean Abram for her 7 years of service on the Steel Days Committee. Mayor Hadfield also recognized Scout Troops 820 and 1151 and encouraged them to use their assistance in future Eagle projects.

During the meeting, it was approved by unanimous vote to adopt ordinances for the vacation of easements at 841 W. Pacific Dr. (in order to build a future road over the freeway to Pioneer Crossing), at 864 E. 120 N. (to combine two lots to one), at 164/176 N. 150 W. Circle (due to lot line relocation), and at 1158 N. 1150 E. (to combine two lots to one).

An ordinance to approve a zone map amendment from general commercial to planned community zone at 585 S. 500 E. was adopted unanimously.

The final plats of Southam Acres Plat B, located at 1158 N. 1150 E., and Fairways at Temple View Subdivision Plat B located at 1352 N. 100 E. were approved by unanimous vote.

Council also unanimously approved an ordinance for a commercial site plan for

the Black Bear Diner restaurant at 160 N. West State Road, in the planned shopping center zone, subject to specified conditions.

An amendment to the overall concept plan for a portion of phase 1-L of the Vintaro Planned Community Project (at 585 S. 500 E.) was approved unanimously.

An ordinance passed unanimously to install a four-way stop at 700 N. 900 E., where a traffic study had been done.

There was discussion on adding flashing lights to the signs in the future.

The Telecommunications Franchise Agreement with Syringa Networks, LLC, was approved by unanimous vote.

Addendum Seven was approved to the current solid waste collection agreement with Republic Services of Utah, effective July 1, 2016.

It was also unanimously approved to release the Improvements Durability Retainer for Old Mill Lot 1 Plat B withholding $150 for the purchase and placement of a “No Parking/Fire Lane” sign.

A purchase of real property on 980 N. associated with the Art Dye North Access Project was approved unanimously, authorizing the mayor to sign the Real Estate Purchase Agreement.

The tracks will be constructed in two loops totaling more than 2,400 feet of rail. “It is our goal to have track and trains operating in the summer or early fall of 2016,” said Mike Hansen, Utah Live Steamers chairman. “With this size and gauge, a person is able to ride on the train quite comfortably. Railroad cars and larger locomotives are fitted with chairs and/or seat cushions.”

Saratoga Springs is focused on becoming a regional park destination of the state. It is written in the city’s 2011 Parks, Recreation, Trails and Open Space Master Plan.

Eagle Mountain City Council Notes Appointments Scott Grimes and Lois Leikam were appointed to the Military and Veterans Advisory Board for a term ending in December, 2017. City Recorder Fionnuala Kofoed administered the oath of office to Mr. Grimes. Ms. Leikam was unable to attend the meeting.

Discussions There was discussion on the Glenmar Rezone and how this subdivision will affect associated issues, such as sewer connections, traffic on Lake Mountain Road and where Airport Road will intersect with Lake Mountain Road. Mayor Pengra stated that any subdivision that is built with septic systems will remain on septic and won’t be connected to sewer lines. After extensive discussions, his recommendation was to install a gate at the intersection with Bobby Wren Blvd., which would prevent traffic from entering Lake Mountain Road from Bobby Wren Blvd.

Also discussed were the Pony Express townhomes, the Handcrafted Homes Development proposal, and a Value Ranking System for Public Improvements Motions Passed The consideration of an ordinance rezoning 16.17 Acres from agriculture to residential was presented. This is an applicant-proposed rezone. The property is located on the west side of Lake Mountain Road, approximately ½ mile southeast of Pony Express Parkway and is known as the Glenmar development.

The motion passed with a vote of 4:1.

An amendment of Chapter 15 of the Eagle Mountain City Municipal Code for Construction Standards bringing the municipal code into compliance with state standards and typical construction standards was passed with a unanimous vote.

Parkway Crossroads requested that the city lease a portion of city property to them. The property is located at the corner of Pony Express Parkway and Ranches Parkway and will be used as a parking stall for vehicular parking and access. In exchange for the use of the property, Parkway will continue to maintain the landscaping on a portion of

the property. The motion to approve the property maintenance and use agreement between Eagle Mountain City and Parkway Crossroads, LLC, was passed with a unanimous vote.

A motion was passed with a unanimous vote to approve a site plan for Sweetwater Industrial Park, with the following conditions: 1) Easements are required for off-site storm drain lines; 2) Storm drain detention is required for each lot; 3) A street light plan shall be submitted for the project in compliance with EMMC Chapter 15.70.090D; 4) All outdoor lighting shall comply with EMMC Chapter 17.56; 5) Parking for each site plan shall comply with EMMC Chapter 17.55; 6) Street trees shall be required in the park strip with each individual site plan; 7) Landscaping plans shall comply with the standards in the city code; 8) Fencing and screening of outdoor uses shall be reviewed with each individual site plan; and 9) The project must comply with the height limits found in the city code.

A motion was passed with a unanimous vote to approve a site plan for Unified Fire Authority Station #251. The proposed site plan for the Unified Fire Authority Station #251 is for a modification of the existing City Center fire station building to replace uninhabitable housing quarters with a modular housing unit.

The living quarters were found to have black mold and need to be demolished.

It was passed with these conditions: 1) Public Works shall be contacted when services are shut off during the demolition phase of the project; 2) Salvaged roofing shall be used on the covered walkway between the existing structure and the housing module; and 3) The module façade shall match the existing structure as closely as possible.

A motion was passed with a unanimous vote to approve a site plan for Questar Salt Lake Mountain Regional Center.

There were two conditions: 1) The first condition as stated in the staff report; and 2) an amendment to state that the lighting plan be revised so that the parking lot lighting fixtures do not exceed 30 feet in height and include motion dimmers that go off when no motion is detected.

A motion was passed to approve a site

plan for Ace Rents. The proposed site plan, for an equipment rental business, will be located at 9569 North Mount Airey Drive. There was one condition: outdoor display equipment shall not extend over the fence.

A motion was passed with a unanimous vote to approve a site plan for Eagle Mountain Storage.The proposed site plan for the facility is located at 9469 North Mount Airey Drive.

A lighting plan shall be submitted along with lighting spec/ cut sheets for all exterior lights; and 3) A monument sign plan and permit shall be submitted for approval to the planning director prior to installing a sign.

Publ1ic Comments Colby Curtis asked why Mayor Pengra was recommending a gate on Lake Mountain Road, since the InterPlan study indicated there wasn’t going to be much additional traffic on the road. Mayor Pengra explained the InterPlan study said the road can handle the traffic, but the impact on residents would create issues.

Marianne Smith requested maintenance or paving on Lake Mountain Road.

She also asked if anything can be done about the trucks, driving to and from the gravel pit on Wride Memorial Highway, driving more safely and covering their loads.

Mayor and Council Member Comments Councilmember Ireland commented that he didn’t think that the speed limit on northbound Eagle Mountain Blvd. should be 35 m.p.h. any further than Lehi-Fairfield Road, then it should be 65 m.p.h. He told Lt. McDowell of the Sheriff’s Office that he didn’t like seeing deputies parked on the side of the road in the early morning hours

watching for traffic violators. He would prefer them to be driving in the neighborhoods where students are getting on school buses.

Mayor Pengra said he was impressed and encouraged with everything going on in the city and in its departments. The employees work very hard.

Councilmember Bradley reiterated that the Library Board is seeking two more members. He said the city has a great library staff.

Councilmember Burnham asked parents to teach their children to ride their bikes safely, and for drivers to be aware, that the children probably won’t. A child on a bike has a very good chance of riding in front of a car.

PG Girls’ Soccer Defeats Lehi Pioneers 1-0 Oct. 6 In a Region Four girls’ soccer game at Lehi Oct. 6, the Pleasant Grove Vikings defeated the Lehi Pioneers 1-0.

Viking Moriah Lucas scored the game’s only goal on a breakaway play three minutes into the match. The game turned into a fierce defensive struggle. Vikings Taylor Johnson, Kendry Court, and Bre Carson applied much pressure on the Lehi defense.

Mallaree Weller and Ali Beeston led a strong Lehi defensive effort, highlighted by goalie Alyson Black’s coming up with frequent saves. In the closing minutes of the game,

Lehi Pioneers Away Riverton Silverwolves in 3-Game Volleyball Match Oct. 8 In a Region Four volleyball match at Lehi Oct. 8, the Lehi Pioneers flooded away the Riverton Silverwolves by scores of 25-21, 25-12, 25-16.

The first game went down as the tightest round of the match. Guided by Alexis Averett and Shae Kartchner, the Silverwolves secured leads of 2-1, 6-5, 7-6, and 12-11.

Paced by Rylin Roberts, Mikayla Upham, and Faith Crabb, the Pioneers battled fiercely to stay in control on their home court. After a Kartchner kill had put the Silverwolf lead at 14-11, Roberts led Lehi in leaping back. Aided by a Rachel Riochards kill, Lehi pulled ahead 16-15.

On Jennessa Robinson’s serves, Riverton tied the game at 19, but a missed Riverton serve allowed Lehi to stay ahead for the rest of the game. Two straight Roberts kills gave Lehi at 25-21 win.

It shook Riverton’s morale to pieces, for the Silverwolves didn’t play as well in the next two games as they had done in Game 1. In the second game, for example, a sloppy display of defense by them allowed Roberts and Richards’ hitting

to send Lehi out to a 9-2 lead. Riverton couldn’t get any closer than 16-9. Lehi’s lead soon turned into a double-digit one.

It stayed in double figures for the rest of Game 2.

In Game 3, Roberts and Marta Ellsworth registered hits that produced a 6-0 lead for Lehi. Despite efforts by Kartchner and Averett to stir up a comeback, the Silverwolves never seriously bothered to howl back into the game. Mikayla Upham registered a kill that scored the match point for Lehi.

Lehi Coach Jamie Ingersoll said, “We played with more fire tonight than we did at AF two nights ago. We didn’t come out fired up in that match, and we had to play four games to win on AF’s floor. The next day at practice, we went over things that we should have done better on at AF. We did those things tonight, and we stayed fired up all the way.”

Roberts posted 16 kills for Lehi, while Ellsworth produced two blocks and Sydney White nine digs.

the Pioneers became all the more aggressive in their offensive efforts. Alex Allgaier and Cassidy Clegg guided the Pioneers’ assaults as they put much pressure on Viking goalie McKenna Eaves. With memories of the Pioneers posting an overtime win at Pleasant Grove late last month, Eaves didn’t let a single Lehi shot sneak past her.

Lehi Coach Jerry Prisendorf said, “I was proud that my player didn’t give up. We missed a couple of shots that would have saved us in the game’s closing minutes.”

Lone Peak Girls’ Soccer Team Defeats Mountain Crest Mustangs 2-0 in Oct. 15 State Playoff Game In state 5-A girls’ soccer quarterfinal action at Lone Peak Oct. 15, the Lone Peak Knights defeated the Mountain Crest Mustangs 2-0. Lone Peak Coach Heather Dahl said, “Our defensive effort turned out to be exceptionally great. We did a good job of maintaining possession of the ball, especially in the midfield, for most of the game. We knew that Mountain Crest had a very tough front line. So we had to work really hard on our passing the ball and keeping possession of it as much as possible.”

Through the course of the nerve-wracking quarterfinal, Lone Peak came up with nine corner kicks while at the same time holding Mountain Crest to just one. Mountain Crest’s Harlee Turnbow sought to pull off breakaway plays through making steals from Knight Natalee Wells. However, Turnbow could never sneak a shot past goalie Megan Running.

The Mustangs still did receive some good scoring opportunities when they had Abby Harris make indirect kicks for them.

Running proved to be too fast for any of Harris’ indirect kicks to put the ball into

the back of the net. Guided by T.J. McKendrick and McKenna Kondel, the Knights maintained unrelenting pressure on Mustang goalie Emily Olsen. Finally, 28 minutes into the game, Lone Peak climbed onto the scoreboard on a successful shot made by Mary Clark. She recalled, “Natalee [Wells] crossed the ball to me, and I put my noggin down low enough for me to be able to head the ball into the net.”

In the second half, the Knights drew a foul in their penalty area, and the Mustangs had Marli Niederhauser attempt to tie the game on an indirect kick. A wall of Knights at the goal line blocked Niederhauser’s kick, and Lone Peak cleared the ball out of the penalty box.

A short time later, Cameron Tucker scored the Knights’ second goal. She said, “I took a pass from Breesa [Nawahine] and made a good shot. After that, they [Mountain Crest] were fighting harder to come back.

We had to be more intense in our playing, so we could win.” Lone Peak played intensely enough to advance to the semifinals.
