Open space plan protects land in Millcreek Township By Lisa Rohde Millcreek Township residents who would like to have more preserved open space are seeing it happen with Salt Lake County’s Open Space Acquisition Plan. The plan was established to acquire land throughout the county that can be preserved for public use. The land purchased will provide natural areas for recreational trails, as well as conservation of plant and animal life. The Open Space Trust Fund was created and has been used to pay for several parcels. “We’ve been purchasing land throughout the valley,” said Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon. One such property is within the township boundaries around Grandeur Peak. It was initially purchased for $500,000 in 2001 by the Trust For Public Lands nonprofit organization. The trust partnered with Save Our Canyons and Utah Open Lands in cooperation with the county to pay off the property in 2005. The parcel is 14 acres at the base of the peak. The area is a trailhead for the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and provides access to other public lands. Its location in the township will benefit local residents and maintain a protected corridor between developed areas and wilderness lands. “The protection of the Grandeur Peak property is a real win for the people of our

Land around Grandeur Peak at Millcreek Canyon is protected open space. community,” said Lisa Smith, Save Our Canyons executive director in a press release. An application process is in place for landowners to have property purchased by

the program. The plan prioritizes parcels near existing public lands or bordering waterways. It also emphasizes larger size parcels for the best land use. Some members of the Millcreek com-

munity would like to see smaller plots of land preserved as public space. As the community grows, more open land is lost to development. Continued page 13 “Open Space”

Millcreek Community to celebrate a Night Out Against Crime By Lisa Rohde The Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Office is preparing to celebrate the 25th annual Night Out Against Crime, part of a nationwide program to educate communities about crime and drug prevention. The Millcreek community’s Night Out Against Crime will be held Tuesday, Aug. 5, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Smith’s parking lot on 4500 South and 845 East. Smith’s is sponsoring the event with food, games and prizes. Free hot dogs and soft drinks will be provided. There will be many activities and games, such as basketball hoops where kids can play for prizes. The Millcreek Community Council has also provided funding for t-shirts and hats to give away.

joined by several other agencies. “We’ll have Search and Rescue,

County Fire, Wildlife Resources, SWAT Team,” said Deputy Lutz North. Wildlife Resources will host an archery event, and the Unified Fire Authority will have a trailer where kids can learn how to properly extinguish fires. The event will help to educate families in the community about law enforcement services. “We want to get the information out about what we offer in terms of crime prevention,” North said. Nationwide, Night Out Against Crime seeks to organize neighborhoods and strengthen police-community relationships. It encourages participation in local anti-crime programs and sends the message that communities are willing to fight back against crime. Continued page 13 “Crime”

UDOT addresses Mt. Olympus residents’ Mountains of gravel are growing on Wasatch and 3900 as construction continues anger over construction debris By Brett Perfili For the past few weeks several Mt. Olympus residents have been upset as the bike path along Wasatch Blvd. near 3300 South continues to be covered by gravel and cement chunks from UDOT construction trucks, making the path difficult to ride on. “I had a number of calls wondering what was going on,” said Jeff Silvestrini, chairman of Mt. Olympus Community Council. “We had several residents upset about not being advised about this.” UDOT is currently rebuilding the 3300 South bridge that crosses over Interstate Highway 215 at about 3000 East. As construction trucks travel along Wasatch Blvd. they are dropping rocks and gravel debris onto the path. The community outcry brought UDOT representatives out to a Mt. Olympus Community Council meeting June 3. At the meeting Jon Montoya, I-80 projects manager, presented a proposal that would have the trucks take alternate routes to construction sites by modifying the freeway off ramps. Instead of taking Wasatch Blvd. after exiting from 3900 South, they will now make a turn that will detour them away from the bike path. Silvestrini said he feels UDOT showing

up at the meeting was more of a “begging for forgiveness rather than asking permission.” The proposal covers trucks getting off the ramp traveling southbound and northbound. “The whole point of this is that it would reconfigure to build a temporary access to not allow their concrete and gravel trucks to come onto Wasatch Blvd. at all,” Silvestrini said. Although Montoya made the appearance at the meeting, the idea still does not seem satisfactory, Silvestrini said. “I don’t like the fact that UDOT did not tell us before they did it. They should have told the community a while ago,” he said. “I am hopeful that they do what they are attempting.” The process of rebuilding the bridge is done over only a 24-hour period. UDOT builds the bridge offsite, then within the 24 hours the old bridge is demolished and the new one is implemented, said Silvestrini. The bridge over I-215 and 4500 South was rebuilt last year with the same procedure. “I do appreciate the fact that they are doing it,” Silvestrini said. “Nobody ever wants this stuff in their backyard, but someone has to.”

By Jim Mueller Most Mount Olympus residents and people driving down Wasatch Blvd. have noticed their view of the Oquirrh Mountains has slowly given way to the new 3300 South bridge and mounds of gravel. Construction is in full swing for replacement of the 3300 South bridge over I-215 that is being built in the Utah Department of Transportation lot on Wasatch Blvd. and 3900 South. The new bridge is scheduled to be put into place Friday, Aug. 22 at 8 p.m. “Production of concrete from the batch

plant for I-80 project will be starting at the end of August as soon as all the bridges are in place (on I-80),” said John Montoya, UDOT project manager. The temporary batch plant on Wasatch Blvd. and 3900 South will be producing all of the concrete for the I-80 Innovate Project and will be remaining in operation until fall 2009. UDOT has been doing studies on the I-215 north on-ramp entrance on 3900 South to see if this would be viable way to access the freeway directly out of the UDOT construction site on Wasatch Blvd. This would alleviate the need for concrete trucks to go down Wasatch Blvd. to enter I-215. “We have done our homework and impact studies on the temporary entrance from the lot (at 3900 South) and we are just waiting on the federal administrators to approve it,” said Adan Carrillo, UDOT public information officer. Federal highway administrators did a walk through on the possible temporary entrance June 26. Pending the federal administrators’ approval, a temporary ramp will be made onto the section where the corkscrew straightens out on the I-215 north entrance at 3900 South. This will keep the concrete truck traffic off Wasatch Blvd. Merchants at the Mount Olympus Shopping Mall have not reported an impact on business traffic or sales since the construction has began. “Construction happens. Unfortunately it is here right now,” said Charlie Earl, Christy Sports manager. “We are pleased by the support from the community at our store during the construction. We want to work along with UDOT in this project and continue to give our customers the best service possible,” said Bill Wally, building and facilities manager for Associated Foods (which owns Dan’s). The only complaints any merchants had heard from residents were the obstructed views from the neighborhood and dust in the air. Jack Mears, manager of the Chevron on Wasatch Blvd. commented about the Continued page 13 “Construction”

Millcreek Township website is part of outreach efforts

By Christopher Smith The Millcreek Township website, www.millcreektownship.org, debuted this January and is a tool of a larger goal of the four community councils to increase citizen involvement. This is the primary goal of the Millcreek Township community councils, said Leslie Riddle, chairperson of the East Millcreek Community Council. According to Aimee McConkie, Canyon Rim Citizens Association chairperson and the woman who spearheaded the website project, the outreach efforts of the Millcreek community councils began in earnest four years ago with the creation of the Millcreek Township newsletter. It started out as a quarterly insert in the Millcreek Journal and once there was enough funding, became a monthly insert. “We need to use the tools that are already available in technology to better our community,” McConkie said in describing why she thinks a website was necessary. She hopes the website will help community members feel more connected with each other and their govern-

Bear cub spotted on shoulder of Grandeur Peak By Jim Mueller The mountains have become green again with leaves, buds and blossoms. Many Millcreek residents have started to enjoy hiking again with family, friends and pets in the foothills. But local residents aren’t the only creatures in the mountains. A bear had a skirmish with a local resident’s dog on the shoulder of Grandeur Peak Friday, June 6. “He was about 55 pounds and three and a half feet tall. My dog ran after him into the scrub oak,” said Deb Callister. Callister, a resident of the Mount Olympus area, was hiking with her dog on the fire road above the cellular tower on the shoulder of Grandeur Peak. The dog, Bodhi, ran up into the scrub brush and started to have an altercation with something there. Bodhi came back to her; then went back into scrub oak. Then Callister saw a big fur ball come out of the scrub oak. Callister had seen other wild animals up there, but this time she knew this was not a coyote or raccoon. She left the area immediately, fearing there could be mother bear nearby.

“I know that other residents in the neighborhood have also seen bears in this area” she said. Kevin Bunnell, Mammal Program Coordinator for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said that the bear probably was getting some buds to eat off the tree. “It was probably a yearling (cub) out on its own for the first time” he said. A yearling cub is a bear that has been kicked out of the den by the mother bear to find food and take care of itself in the summer. Yearlings are run off by their mother to fend for themselves when they are 18 months old. They must then establish their own home range. Most females establish a range near their mother’s but do not usually interact with her. Males, on the other hand, will travel long distances to find unoccupied territory. “Open garbage containers will draw the bears down into the neighborhoods. Residents should make sure they take care of their garbage” Bunnell said. He warned local residents to keep their garbage in an enclosed and secure area. This should alleviate problems with bears coming to scavenge for food in the neighborhood.

By Christopher N. Smith Mayor Peter Corroon along with 15 floats and 12 organized walking groups were on hand for the East Mill Creek Lions Club July 4 Children’s Parade. The parade took place on Evergreen Avenue from 2700 East to Evergreen Park. No motorized vehicles were allowed and floats were judged based on their presentation of this year’s theme,“Celebrating a Legacy,” originality, creativity, and craftsmanship. The grand prize of $100 went to the Hinckley family with their tribute to former president of the LDS church Gordon B. Hinckley titled “Bee…cause He Loved East Mill Creek.” The Evergreen Fire Station float was the first runner up followed by the Buchanan family, the East Mill Creek Community Council and the Lofgren family. “This year had a really good turnout of floats,” said Rose Sudstrup, one of the Lions responsible for organizing

Spectators who were enjoying the beautiful weather and waiting for the next handful of taffy to be thrown lined almost the entire route. Upon the parade’s arrival at Evergreen Park, the other festivities began with plenty of food, games, and entertainment for all.

Millcreek skaters need a home

Zoning change requested on Upland Drive

East Mill Creek Community Council members oppose granting a zoning change for this property on Upland Drive, citing concerns about higher density property. Rick Mazuta would like to see a skate park like this one at Fairmont Park in Sugar House built in Millcreek. By Margaret McFarland Skaters in Millcreek may not always have to travel to parks in nearby communities. One local community member is trying to bring a skate park closer to home. Rick Mizuta proposed the idea at recent East Mill Creek Community Council and Canyon Rim Citizens Association meetings. A skate park would give local kids a place to practice their sport, he said. “We’re supposed to tell our kids to get out and get exercise but there’s nowhere to go” in Millcreek, he said. The nearest skate park is at Fairmont Park; others are considerably farther. Mizuta’s 16-year-old son Bryan can drive himself and his friends; Sam, 11, has to get a ride from someone. There are skate parks in South Jordan, Rose Park, almost everywhere else, “you’d think we could have one here,” Mizuta said. Skating is popular in Millcreek. Mizuta said that kids often skate past his home on Evergreen Avenue and about 260 people signed petitions he posted in Salty Peaks and Milosport, Millcreek’s two skate shops asking for a skate park. “They have this great sport,” but without a park they have to use other places, Mizuta said. Some local kids try to skate at the old Smith’s store and other businesses but the police come by and ask them to leave. Many businesses have signs posted prohibiting skating. Mizuta recently submitted a request to the county planning and development department asking the county to explore the possibility of building a park and to fund any studies needed. The largest problem could be finding a place to put the park. A number of suitable spots were mentioned at the community council meeting, provided the land can be used. There is a large open area behind Smith’s that could be used or a large patch of grass at Canyon Rim Park that could be converted. Whatever the location, a skate park would give kids a place to get out and exercise. Many people may have misperceptions about skaters but Mizuta said they are not bad kids. “I was afraid there would be a bunch of hooligans,” Mizuta said about the time he first took his sons to a skate park. “But they are very polite; they wait their turn.” He and his wife have even tried skating, buying long boards and trying them out, he said. He said they were fun, although he worries about falling. The East Mill Creek Community Council supported the idea, and assigned council member Blake Keithley to help Mizuta in his efforts. As with

any project, the process will take time. Salt Lake County Community Relations Specialist Bev Uipi said that funding could be requested by the community councils, but more details are needed. Mizuta said he is looking for information about costs and possible locations, and more decisions can be made when that information is available.

By Margaret McFarland The owners of two acres at 3393 Upland Drive have requested a zoning change that would allow them to build multi-family homes on the property. The change is opposed by the East Mill Creek Community Council, whose members worry about the effect on their community. Michael Black, the developer working for the property owners, said that negative effects on the community, such as increased

traffic and decreased home values, will be small to none. “The owners have lived in that area their whole lives,” he said. “They wouldn’t come in and sacrifice an area where they have history to make a quick buck.” Councilmember Greg Offerman said the council is concerned about what high density housing could become. “What we’re concerned about is density . . . we’re Continued page 9 “Zoning”

H Sports H Realignments leave Skyline in 5A By Sarah Thomas Every four years, the Utah High School Activities Association reorganizes the classifications and regions in which the athletic teams, music groups, and drama clubs of Utah high schools compete. Classifications, which are labeled 1A through 5A, are dependent on the population of the school. Schools with more than 1,500 students are considered 5A schools, 1,000 to 1,499 are 4A schools, and so on. Regions are then created by grouping together schools that are in both the same classification and the same area of the state. The high school groups contend for region titles against these schools. The top finishers in region competitions are then invited to compete for a state title against the other top schools in the same classification. The UHSAA has chosen to reorganize these groupings every four years in order to keep up with growing as well as shrinking populations, among high school students. Generally in athletics, a larger student body leads to better and more competitive sports teams. This is because there is more competition to make the team due to a larger selection of athletes for coaches to create their teams from. Therefore, the purpose of reevaluating the regions and classifications is to make sure athletic programs are not overmatched by more-populated schools. Currently, Skyline High School is in 5A and Region 2, the east region. This region is made up of schools that line the east side of the Salt Lake Valley, including Alta, Brighton, Hillcrest, Jordan and Tay-

Skyline High School win remain a 5A school but will change region. lorsville. Skyline athletes have competed against these schools for region titles for the last three years, but after next school year, that will change. When realignment talks began six months ago, Skyline High was slated to be moved down to 4A due to the shrinking population of the school, which is near 1,420 at this time. This potential change has been with mixed feelings by the Skyline coaches. “I’d like to stay in 5A,” Deb Bennett, the head girls basketball coach, girls golf coach and athletic director, said before the final decision had been made on June 10. “We have been competitive in a lot of the sports and we’re just barely under the cutoff.” Bennett also said the school could petition to be moved back into 5A, but many of the coaches like the idea of changing classifications. “We have a split school. Much of it has to do with location and how far we will have to travel for region games.”

Millcreek resident wins state title for Rowland Hall By Sarah Thomas It was five years ago while living in Atlanta, Ga. that Joe Illingworth first picked up a tennis racket; little did he know that it would lead him to a state championship in Salt Lake City, Utah. Illingworth, a freshman at Rowland Hall High School, began playing the game because in the south, that’s what everybody does. “Tennis is very popular in Atlanta,” Illingworth’s mother Mary said. “So many kids play because of the year-round warm weather down there.” Illingworth continued playing the sport after his family relocated in the Millcreek area and he has found nothing but success since. In the 2A/1A tennis state tournament, held May 10 at Coach Mike’s Tennis Academy in Salt Lake, Illingworth helped the Rowland Hall Winged Lions to their second consecutive team state title by also winning his own ring in the No. 2 singles. Illingworth defeated athletes from Parowan, Meridian and Manti High Schools en route to his state championship and he never once lost a set in the tournament. “The UHSAA was there and gave all the winners medals,” Mary Illingworth said. “We were very excited for him. It’s a great honor to win first place in any classification.” In addition to playing tennis, Illingworth ran cross country in the fall for the Winged Lions. He is an honor student and he sings in the school choir. He also spends

Joseph Illingworth his spare time lending a helping hand to the less fortunate. “[Joe] does a lot of volunteer work with Habitat for Humanity,” Mary Illingworth said of her son. “He started working with them in Atlanta when he was 9 years old and has continued ever since.” Overall, the Illingworth family has enjoyed Joe’s experience with tennis because of all the opportunities it has presented for him. “Being new to Utah, tennis has been a great way to meet new people,” said Mary Illingworth. “Sports are always a great way to make friends; this has been a great community to be a part of.”

Olympus girls lacrosse has turnaround season

The Olympus girls lacrosse team, pictured, had a great season this year. By Michelle Taft Last season, Olympus girls lacrosse team won only one game. Only a year later, the same team went 7-4 and made it to the quarterfinals of the state tournament before it was eliminated by the team that went on to win the state title. “The difference between last year and this year is night and day,” said senior center Melissa Nash. “This year, we decided to focus on this season and putting last year behind us, getting our team back, and pretty much starting over.” Nash said a key component to the team’s turnaround season was the leadership and knowledge of first-year coach Lindsey Meintel. “She was really good at letting us have fun, but making sure we knew we needed to work hard and do what we were supposed to do,” Nash said. “Our team knew when to be intense and when to have fun. We didn’t want to be just a joke team. When we were doing good and winning, we found that was fun.” Meintel was named the Division I AllAmerican coach of the year by the Utah Lacrosse Association for her role in the team’s newfound success. “That was a huge honor and I was blown away by that,” she said. “I showed up to practice every day and didn’t do it for anyone but myself and those girls. Just the fact that anyone noticed how far we’d come in a year’s time was awesome for the girls.” Nash was named a US Lacrosse AllAmerican and Academic All-American.

“At one of the team meetings each of us had with Lindsey at the beginning of the season, I wrote down the goal that I wanted to be an All-American,” said Nash. “It was really cool to see that dream fulfilled and get that recognition because I worked really hard for it.” Nash, along with junior attack player Kaicee Beal and senior goalie MacKalee Fife, was also named to the Division I First All-State team. The Olympus girls lacrosse team consists of players from both Olympus and Highland High Schools and is not yet sanctioned by the UHSAA. “We have two schools that come together as one team that are from different social scenes and different social groups and are different ages from freshman to seniors but it was unbelievable when these girls came together,” Menteil said. “It didn’t matter where they came from or what their family life was like; when they stepped on that field they had one common goal and they were a team.” In addition to Nash and Fife, Olympus had the additional senior leadership of Mandy Jacobsen and Elshia Hopkins at attack positions and defender Elizabeth Moffitt. “Mandy was our most dependable player,” said Menteil. “Every time someone passed her the ball we knew she was going to catch it. We always knew we could count on her. Elshia played attack and was crucial in transition and giving us that extra depth we needed. Elizabeth was a staple on Continued page 10 “Lacrosse”

Best Buddies comes to Skyline High school By Mary Lynn Ferguson Thanks to donations from the local community, Best Buddies Utah will establish its 12th high school chapter at Skyline High School at the start of the 2008-2009 school year. Best Buddies High Schools pairs people with intellectual disabilities in one-toone friendships with high school students. Individuals with disabilities usually do not have the opportunity to have friends outside of their own special education classroom. By becoming a high school peer buddy, volunteers offer a disabled friend the chance to explore a new way of life and feel included in the high school experience. “We are very excited to be involved with the Skyline students,” said Justin Haskel, state director of Best Buddies Utah. Best Buddies chapters are active in over 550 schools worldwide. Best Buddies Utah currently has 11 active high school chapters. Each chapter is a registered student organization within a school and is led by a faculty advisor and a student leader. Anne Green from the Skyline faculty will coordinate the program along with student leader, McKenzie Yates. Mckenzie will travel to Indiana in July for a four-day train-

ing session on implementing the program. Kim Warren, Best Buddies Utah Advisory Board member, and her husband, Chuck Warren, donated $2,700 of the $10,000 required to help start the Skyline chapter. The balance came from grants and a fundraiser conducted by Best Buddies of Utah. The Warrens live in Holladay with their four children, ages 5 to 13. Their oldest son, Charlie, was born with a rare developmental disability called Rubenstein-Tabies Syndrome. “As a result, my Charlie faces many challenges in his lifetime that many of us will never understand,” said Kim Warren. “By introducing Best Buddies into the public and private high schools, we are crossing the invisible line that too often separates those with disabilities from those without,” she said. Kim Warren also continues to donate to Best Buddies with a percentage of the proceeds from her cookbook, “Family Comfort Favorites,” found at www.cookingwithkim.net.

H School News H Upland terrace students win in national art contest Fourth graders at Upland Elementary recently participated in a national art contest sponsored by the Oregon/California Trails Association. Students created drawings of animals they might have seen traveling along the western trails. Six students from Upland Terrace, Jenna Carter, Holly Daugirda, Emma Heyn, Jeremy Ludwig, Tressa Marre and Abigail Olds will have their picture in the 2009 OCTA calendar and will receive a prize of $50 each. The students were encouraged to participate in the contest by Vern Gorzitze, OCTA

past president and husband of Ilene Gorzitze, a 15-year P.E. volunteer at the school. OTCA is an organization whose mission is to preserve the remnants of the emigration trails which volunteers have mapped and marked. One of the group’s goals is to educate young students to become aware of their mission. The contest was under the direction of Bill Hill, educator, author and member of the OCTA board of directors. Hill, a New York resident, authors educational trail history student workbooks.

No summer vacation for hunger By Mary Lynn Ferguson Hunger is a daily reality for many Utah families but fortunately, the children of those families can look toward the Summer Food Service program for help. The Summer Food service program is a federally-funded meal program that is administered by school districts and cities. It is available in 16 counties in Utah at 174 sites with over 100 of those sites along the Wasatch Front. Most sites are at schools, parks or community centers. In the Millcreek area, Lincoln Elementary, 450 East 3700 South, offers the program. The summer months can be difficult for the 32 percent of school children who access free and reduced price in meals during the school year. One in seven Utah households struggles to afford enough food. Many Utahns are unaware of this program which provides free lunch (and break-

fast in some locations) to all children 18 and younger. This year the program started June 9 and will run through Aug. 20. During that period of time, it will provide over one million meals to Utah children. Lunches are served from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. No enrollment or identification is needed. For many of the children, it is their only nutritious meal of the day. Nearly 80,000 Utah children live in poverty. As defined by the USDA, Utah has the fifth highest incidence of food insecurity in the nation. Fourteen percent of Utahns are unsure where their next meal is coming from. Five percent have experienced hunger in the past year. For further information and additional locations for the Summer Food Service contact Utahns against Hunger at 801-328-2561 or 1-800-453-3663.

“Zoning” from page 5

mon in other areas, but some residents of Millcreek are leery of it in their neighborhoods. The East Mill Creek Community voted 11 to zero to oppose the rezone request at its May 1 meeting. Offerman said they are concerned, among other things, about what could be done with the property later. RM zoning has conditional uses, which the owners could decide to take advantage of later. They could sell the property once it is rezoned to someone who wants to use it commercially, or decide to put in a multiuse facility, he said. Some of the council members are also concerned about “RM creep,” he said. Although the developer is asking for only 12 units per acre now, they are not limited to that. Offerman also thinks spot zoning is a bad idea; that is, taking one parcel and making it something very different than the surrounding area. Another concern is the general location of the property. Increased traffic could be a problem, as it sits facing the high school on Upland Drive. But Black said that the increase in traffic would be the same or even less than what would be caused by single family homes on the land.

concerned about it turning into rental properties or non-owner-occupied properties with no one there to care for it.” Density is a common issue in rezoning requests. Black said that the day he went to the Millcreek Planning Commission to request this change, the other two requests were for the same zoning. All three were requests for property to be zoned RM (residential multiple), which allows multi-family homes. There are also different restrictions than the R-1 (residential single-family) zones on the buildings, such as higher roofs and the possibility for commercial use of structures. The maximum density allowed for RM zoning is 24 units per acre, but Black said they are only asking for 12 units per acre. They have developed two general plans, one of which would be to build 24 townhomes. The other option is four mansion homes; these look like very large homes from the outside, but are actually six individual units within. Either way, 24 new homes would be created. Higher-density housing may be com-

“Skyline” from page 6 To the surprise of all involved in Skyline High athletics, however, when the final realignment plan was announced in early June, the Eagles had been moved back into 5A. Officials stated that this decision was due to how competitive the Skyline athletic teams have been in the recent past. To justify this success, these officials made note that Skyline athletes have earned the Deseret News “All-Sports” award four of the last 10 years, including the most recent school year. This is a high honor given to the top overall athletic program in each classification, a label that is generated by assigning point values to how well each school finished in 19 athletic state compe-

I literally gave her a packet at the beginning of the season and said, ‘this is everything I know about being a goalie’ and she was amazing.” Though Olympus will lose five seniors next season, they had 16 varsity players at the end of the season and more than 20 on the junior varsity team.

This section is divided into the four communities and also contains a board for the entire township. The East Millcreek Community Council uses this section to post the Sherriff’s reports from each month. McConkie is especially enthusiastic about this aspect of the site and encourages all county officials to read the posts to learn what citizens think about current issues. The “Issues” section is the one aspect of the site that does more than just encourage citizens to be involved: it is an outlet for that involvement. The minutes of past community

Walker wasn’t as happy about the region her school was placed in within the 5A classification, however. Skyline High will move from the current east region, a region that has been one of the most competitive for almost every sport, to the Salt Lake north region, which will also be labeled Region 2. The new region, which will include Cottonwood, Cyprus, Granger, Hunter, Murray and West High Schools, is made up of schools that have not been very competitive in recent years, as well as some that are going to be new to 5A. “I want to face the very best teams there are before the state tournament, so we can be ready,” Walker said. Other 5A regions include Region 1, the north region, made up of Clearfield, Davis, Fremont, Layton, Northridge, Roy, Syracuse, Viewmont and Weber High Schools; Region 3, the Salt Lake southwest region, including Bingham, Copper Hills, Kearns, Riverton, Taylorsville, West Jordan and the new Herriman High, when it opens in fall 2010; and Region 4, the south region, made of Alta, American Fork, Brighton, Hillcrest, Jordan, Lone Peak and Pleasant Grove High Schools.

council meetings and the agendas of upcoming meetings are regularly updated on the site. Also, local residents can find the contact information of the four community council chairpersons and several county officials in the “Contact” section of the site. According to Riddle, projects like the website are made possible by the greater support, financial and otherwise, that the community councils have received from Salt Lake County government in the past two years. As McConkie sees it, there is still more that can be done to keep citizens better connected with each other and their government. While having the ability to keep people updated based on the community they live in through the website, she sees street by street blogs and e-mail updates as a goal for the future.

“Ardell Brown” from page 7

The Judkins brothers, along with family members as well as assistant coaches and players from their respective schools, spend the four days teaching the girls and boys who attend their camp many different individual skills, including defense, ball handling, passing and especially the correct shooting form. The coaches work one-on-one with participants to improve these skills, as well as provide game situations for them to apply what they have learned. “I loved that it was instructional camp that still emphasized competition,” said Steve Mundee, a camp participant for 10 years. “We played a lot of skill development games, like Lightning, and had real basketball games and tournaments too.” Jeff Judkins has been involved with basketball in Utah his entire life. After graduating from Highland High School, where his jersey number has since been retired, he moved on to be an All-American at the University of Utah, where he helped his team earn two conference titles. After graduating from the “U,” he left Utah briefly in order to play professional basketball. He played for three teams in five seasons in the NBA, including the Boston Celtics and Portland Trailblazers before returning to Utah to play for the Jazz.

The trained technicians working in the service area can repair any problem and they have years of practice working with any type of RV. “We have the largest collision center in the state and our [technicians] are the best individuals in the industry,” Rob says. “We’ve been around a long time and we can cover anything people need.” Ardell Brown is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. and on Saturday from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. For more information, visit www.abrv.com or call 1-888-563-1032. “We know what we’re talking about,” Rob says. “We average close to 165 trailer sales in a good month. We’re still around because of the consistency of our brands.”

Page 10 Judkins returned to the University of Utah to serve as an assistant coach under Rick Majerus for 10 years. While there, he helped turn players such as Michael Doleac, Keith Van Horn, Andre Miller and Alex Jensen into household names, as well as leading the Utes to seven conference titles and a trip to the Final Four in 1998. Currently, he is the head coach of the BYU womens basketball program, where he has already won a conference title and conference tournament, as well as led his team to the Sweet 16 in 2002 and has earned Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year honors twice. Jon Judkins has also spent a lot of time around basketball in Utah, and has seen even more of the state than his brother. After playing for Highland High, he moved on to play at the collegiate level in Logan. While at Utah State, he recorded the first ever tripledouble by an Aggie. Jon Judkins coached for many years at Snow College in Ephraim but has since moved his instruction to St. George and Dixie State College. He has accumulated an all-time record of 207 wins and only 80 losses, a 72 percent winning percentage, as well as Coach of the Year honors and SWAC championships in 1999 and 2000. “I love listening to Jeff and Jon talk about basketball,” Thomas said. “They have a lot of experience playing the game, and I learn more and more from them each year.”

The chamber trip to China in March 2009 is garnering interest and the list of participants is growing daily. We have posted a flyer about the trip on our website at www.

If you are interested in the trip, you must apply for your passport by Aug. 15, to ensure that your passport will be back in time to then apply for the Chinese Visa required for the trip. We have a complete list of deadlines on our website.

The trip includes airfare from LAX to China and back – hotels (four and five star), three 3 meals a day, nine days of travel including these cities: Beijing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Shanghai.

Olympus wrestling coach named Region 6 Coach of the Year By Michelle Taft Wrestling coach Theros Johnson had the burden of another coach’s legacy to carry when he took over the six-time consecutive region championship Olympus wrestling team two years ago. After leading the Titans to another pair of region titles in his first two years, Johnson now carries the burden of his own legacy. And for that, he was voted Region 6 wrestling coach of the year by his fellow coaches. “He’s a young coach and it’s an incredible honor for someone that has just taken

over a program,” said Olympus athletic director Kaye Poulton-Timm. “He’s a nice guy and he’s a good coach.” The word “legacy” is not a new one to Johnson. He wrestled at Taylorsville for his father, the coach at the time, and then went on to wrestle for the University of Wyoming. After college, Johnson returned to Taylorsville alongside his father as an assistant coach for five years. In what Johnson called “almost fate,” the previous Olympus coach, David Vandeveegaete, who had also wrestled at Taylorsville for Continued page 16 “Coach”

“Crime” from front page

“We just need to get those little parcels, while we’ve still got them,” said Millcreek Community Council member Judy Tukuafu. New developments, especially higherdensity projects, are required to have a certain amount of open space. At a recent meeting Corroon pointed out to the Milcreek Community Council that a number of smaller parks are already in place. “We have over 100 different parks throughout Salt Lake County,” he said. The trust fund was established in 2001 by a $24 million election bond. It was revitalized in 2005 with the help of Corroon. According to Salt Lake County Community Council Representative Rita Lund, about half of the budget has been spent on new projects. The county is still accepting applications and actively reviewing available lands.

Prior years have been successful in getting the community involved. North estimates that 1,500 to 2,000 people attended last year. Nationally, 35.4 million people in 11,310 communities participated in 2007, according to a press release by event organizer, the National Association of Town Watch. A large turnout is also expected this year. Although only one night a year, Night Out Against Crime is designed to help families and communities year -round. “While the one night is certainly not an answer to crime, drugs, and violence, National Night Out does represent the kind of spirit, energy and determination that is helping to make many neighborhoods safer places throughout the year,” said Matt Peskin, the program’s founder.

Twilight Concert Series kicks off July 10 The Twilight Concert Series celebrates its 21st season in 2008 by celebrating contemporary music of the 21st century. This summer, the Twilight Concert Series presents a strong and exciting group of musicians, some of whom defy denition, ranging from rock to country to hip hop to bluegrass and every possible combination of the above. This is a stellar season and the Salt Lake City Arts Council invites everyone to come on Thursday nights in July and August to the Gallivan Center in downtown Salt Lake City. To complement the music, the Twilight Market offers food and beverages with something for every taste, from pizza to pasta, from vegetarian to barbecue and from cookies to gelato. The market also offers local artists· work, including such handcrafted items as jewelry, clothing, soaps and ceramics. The market opens at 5 p.m.; the concerts begin at 7 p.m. The concerts are free; for best seating, concert-goers should arrive early. Blankets and chairs may not be placed before 1:30 p.m. and someone must remain with the blanket at all times. Only low-backed chairs are permitted. The Gallivan Center does not allow pets or smoking. Concerts will proceed, rain or shine. 2008 Twilight Concert Series season schedule: July 10 — Opening Night

Sandy Amphitheater packs July with concerts

The Sandy Amphitheater packs July with some of the best names in entertainment, featuring both local and national favorites. Pianist/entertainer Jon Schmidt comes to the amphitheater on Friday, July 11. Schmidt has become wellknown across North America, where he consistently performs to sold-out audiences in major performance venues. His credits include six albums, six volumes of his popular original piano scores, performances and radio play all over the country, several top 40 songs and over one million plays at mp3.com. The swing sounds of Big Bad Voodoo Daddy come to Sandy on Saturday, July 12. Formed in 1989, BBVD hit the big time in the mid-·90s with their appearance in the lm “Swingers” and they haven·t stopped since, touring ferociously and delivering killer shows night after night, city after city. Their latest album, a Cab Calloway tribute, is nished and will be in stores soon, so

hit the concert and be the rst to hear their amazing new tunes live. One-of-a-kind impressionist/musician/humorist Jason Hewlett hits the stage Friday, July 18. Jim Carrey, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Elton John, The Temptations and even Alvin & The Chipmunks are just a few of the performers to take the stage during the unforgettable one-man show of Jason Hewlett, The Entertainer. Audiences coast-to-coast have thrilled at the creativity, hilarious impersonations, touching portrayals and nostalgia that he delivers. High-energy country band Sawyer Brown comes to town on Tuesday, July 22. A winner of television·s original talent contest, “Star Search,” Sawyer Brown·s music has been an integral part of country music radio for the past 20 years. “Some Girls Do,” “The Race is On,” “Hard To Say,” “Step That Step” and “This Time” are just a few of their hits. Opening for Sawyer Brown is last season·s “American Idol” nalist Phil Stacey.

Celebrate Pioneer Day with one of country music·s hottest new stars, Kellie Pickler, on Thursday, July 24. Coming off sold-out tours with both Brad Paisley and Rascal Flatts and winning an amazing three fan-voted Country Music Television Awards, Pickler brings her boundless energy and bubbly personality to her own highpowered show at the Sandy Amphitheater. The original “Dream Girl,” Mary Wilson of The Supremes, brings her soulful voice to the amphitheater on Saturday, July 26. It was a vision of musical stardom as a Detroit teenager that inspired Wilson to become part of the most successful female singing group in recording history, The Supremes, and help establish the distinct “Motown sound.” With 12 No. 1 hits, including “Where Did Our Love Go,” “Baby Love,” “Come See About Me,” “Stop in the Name of Love,” and “My World is Empty Without You,” and nearly 40 albums, The Supremes were without a doubt one of the most inuential, memorable and successful icons of the turbulent 1960s.

The Roots, aka The Legendary Roots Crew, are an inuential American band from Philadelphia, famed for their eclectic live instrumentation style of hip hop. Since their major label debut in 1995 they have collaborated with artists from a range of

genres, including Roy Ayers, Common and Cody Chesnutt. Inspired by the Stetsasonic·s “hip hop band” philosophy, the Roots have garnered critical acclaim and their live shows are among the best in the business. The Knux, brothers Krispy Kream and Rah Al Millio are clever alternative rap artists from New Orleans. The musically schooled brothers created a national stir in late 2007 as the opening act for Common on his Finding Forever tour. “Cappuccino” was the rst Knux song ofcially released by Interscope and aired in an episode of the HBO show Entourage; a video for the song was subsequently lmed. Their debut album, “Remind You in 3 Days” is scheduled for release later this year.

Track was just one sport Preston Fairbourn excelled in this year. By Michelle Taft Senior Preston Fairbourn ended his four-sport career at Olympus this spring with a third place finish in the long-jump at the 4A state track tournament. Fairbourn also qualified and competed at the state tournament in the high jump but recorded his lowest height of the season and fell five inches short of his 6’7” season best that would have given him second place in the state. Even more amazing is that track and field, amongst his basketball and baseball careers, was almost an afterthought. This was Fairbourn’s first season on the track team. He competed in football as a sophomore, but then decided to focus on basketball and baseball. This year he added track to his resume. “I just thought I could probably jump pretty far and pretty high so I decided to try it,” Fairbourn said. Since track and field season competes simultaneously with baseball, many days Fairbourn would spend hours a day at both practices. “It was hard,” he said. “But what’s even harder is having it all over with. When

school is over, I don’t have to run to the gym and put on my basketball shoes or my cleats. I just kind of drive home. I don’t know what to do after school. I don’t have anywhere to go.” Fairbourn excelled at all the sports he participated in. He was named to the allregion team in both basketball and baseball and was a key leader on the Olympus basketball team that won the Region 6 championship this year. “Winning the region championship in basketball was the highlight of my entire high school experience,” he said. “It was amazing. Basketball is unlike any sport. The gym is so small and the fans are right there and it’s so loud and everyone is rooting for you. It’s such an amazing feeling to win something like a region championship and it just feels so good, you just want to celebrate.” Fairbourn said the most memorable moment of his sports career was the celebration that came in the locker room afterwards. “It was crazy, just spraying sparkling cider and sodas all over the coach in the Continued page 16 “Multi-sport”

County Mayor’s Report By Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon In the middle of May I ordered a “soft” hiring freeze for Salt Lake County government operations in the mayor’s portfolio. I asked the county’s Salt Lake eight other elected ofCounty Mayor ficials to voluntarily Peter Corroon adopt the same policy. Our government operations are not immune from the same pressures all American families are feeling during troubling economic times. We will review personnel needs on a case by case basis. In the past three and a half years I believe Salt Lake County has been very restrained in its hiring practices, so in real terms, the hiring freeze is not a dramatic change. As for the effect of such a freeze, there are doubters. Dr. John Sullivan, head and professor of human resource management in the College of Business at San Francisco State University hates them. Meantime, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered one for his state agencies in February this year. Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano imposed a hiring freeze on “some” positions, also in February about the same time Minnesota’s Tim Pawlenty declared a hiring freeze across his government that halted hiring all but the most critical unfilled positions. Two months ago, New York Governor David Paterson ordered a partial hiring freeze. The economic downturn has forced our hand. County revenues from sales taxes

“Coach” from page 11 Johnson’s father, left Olympus and called Johnson about the opening for a wrestling coach. Johnson interviewed and was offered the job. The following year, Johnson’s father retired from Taylorsville and Vandeveegaete stepped back into high school coaching and took over for Johnson’s father at Taylorsville. “He’s keeping the Taylorsville legacy alive over there and I’m keeping the Olympus legacy alive over here,” Theros Johnson said. He said he knew that stepping in at Olympus, he had “some big shoes to fill,” but he said the pressure his first year wasn’t as great as it was this year. “Everyone’s expectations the first year were that with a new coach it wouldn’t happen for us,” he said. “I went in to the kids and I told them we were going to do it anyway, and that was the way it was going to be,” he said. And the team did. Johnson said the real pressure came this year to repeat. But pressure, he said, is a good thing. “A little bit of pressure is always a good thing,” he said. “It’s something that a lot of athletes and coaches thrive on. It keeps you in the game and it keeps you working.” Johnson said he finds himself immersed in each kid and each competition, and that, perhaps, is what makes him such a strong coach. “What I enjoy about coaching is it’s an extension of competition,” he said. “It’s a big thrill being there in the corner and being a part of the action. I walk away from a tournament having gone through emotionally and mentally hundreds of matches because I’m just so into every match and I want every one of my kids to be successful.” Johnson also coaches a USA wrestling team that includes current and what he hopes will be future Olympus athletes during the off-season.

are $5.3 million below projections. At the same time, expenses are rising. Just like the cost of gasoline for Utah’s personal automobiles, the cost of fuel for our fleet has skyrocketed. Just like at home, when expenses go up and income goes down, some changes must be made. Our annual operating budgets are very conservative. During our annual November budget sessions, we carefully analyze anticipated revenues to match service needs from plowing snow from winter roads, operating senior citizen centers, paying for police and fire services and running our countywide parks and recreation programs. Last November county budget officials recognized a need to slow expenditures. We decided to maintain strict budget controls over 2008 spending as a hedge against this economic pinch. That strategy is paying off today. A slight increase in scrutiny over our already stringent hiring is just another positive step. All Salt Lake County program directors and division heads understand that we must live within our means. Salt Lake County will provide the best services possible at a reasonable cost to our citizens.

As temperatures rise, so do daytime burglaries in the Mount Olympus area By Jim Mueller After the long and cold winter, burglaries in the Mount Olympus Area were reported during the daytime in March, April and May. There had not been any burglaries over the winter months in the area. Salt Lake County Sheriff’s Detective Mark Wooten reported to the Mount Olympus Community Council that there have been four burglaries during the daytime hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. These types of crimes have typically increased over the years in the neighborhood when warm weather has returned, he said. But this year the way the burglaries are occurring is different. “They have been striking when people are gone, when people are typically at work,” he said. The burglars are casing the houses in a unique way. They walk through the neighborhoods, looking for homes where the occupants seem to be gone, then knock on the door or ring the doorbell. If no one answers, they proceed to break the front window and then burglarize the house. A car was also stolen from the mouth

of Neff’s Canyon at 6:30 a.m. on May 5. The car owner had left the keys under the floor mat in an unlocked car. Wooten suggested that local residents keep their eyes open for suspicious people in the neighborhood during the day and take care in locking their cars.

“Multi-sport” from page 15 locker room,” he said. Fairbourn said his love of sports came from watching his three older brothers play when he was growing up. “I wanted to be like them,” he said. “I would watch them and think ‘that’s going to be me someday’ and now that day has come and gone.” He is not the end of the Fairbourn legacy, however. His younger brother Travis Fairbourn, a sophomore this past year, participates on the Olympus football, wrestling and baseball teams. “Now I get to watch him go through the process,” he said. As for Preston’s athletic future, he said he is unsure but he will likely try out for the basketball team –his favorite of all the sports– at Snow College.
