Chamber President’s Message It is a privilege and honor to work with this wonderful group of volunteers. I look forward to working with our Chamber Executive Director Michelle Lines, the city officials in Payson and Santaquin, and the other board members as we strive to battle the challenges that face our community and businesses in 2021. A big thanks goes to Josh Nielsen for doing a great job as president throughout 2020 with all its obstacles. Also, thanks to our past presidents Ty Jones and Jade Walker for volunteering to help with the executive committee during 2020. With Michelle as our director, we accomplished some great things that benefited the community even with the challenging COVID-19 restrictions. It’s a wonderful thing for an individual or business to volunteer their time and money and make southern Utah County a place of peace and prosperity, a place we’re proud to call home. Even greater is the person who continues that service when times are challenging. We have a

few new board members this year who have my thanks and admiration for accepting the challenge of serving as well as those who remain and continue from year to year. In 2019, I took my family on a road trip to Illinois. On 1-80, just outside of Laramie, Wyoming, there is a lone pine tree situated between the eastbound and westbound lanes called “Tree Rock.” This tree is growing out of the top of a granite boulder. In spite of what seemed to be impossible growing conditions, this tree sprouted and has been growing for at least 160 years or more. The men who helped build the Union Pacific railroad in this region diverted the tracks slightly so future travelers could pass by and marvel at the site. Stories have been told of trains stopping to view the tree while workers would take water buckets intended for fighting fires and would give the tree a drink. Much like this tree, many businesses and their employees have survived a year in difficult growing conditions and

face what appears to be another very challenging year. As the passengers gave the tree a drink as they passed by, we do the same thing to our businesses anytime we shop local. Our local businesses fuel the economy and provide jobs to family, friends and neighbors. These aren’t just local businesses — they are your businesses. When they fail, we fail; when they succeed, we succeed. Think of your communities when you shop and give those businesses in southern Utah County a drink and keep them them growing. Eagles soar to great heights during windy times. I know that if each one of us in the chamber stretches our wings during this tumultuous time and leaves our comfort zone to support chamber events and fulfill assignments we’ve be given, we will not only weather the storm, we’ll rise above it. To those who are not currently members of the chamber (residents and businesses alike), I invite you to be a hero this year and make a difference in the community by joining with us. Together, we can lift each other to new heights. I look forward to serving with you all in 2021. Together, we’ll make this a year to remember.

Chamber Calendar CHAMBER PLANNING VARIETY OF NEW EVENTS 2021 has, for many of us, become a year of rebirth, reinvention and renewal. The Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce is also doing some reinvention. For many years, the chamber has operated a concessions stand during Santaquin’s Orchard Days festival as a fundraiser for the chamber. Since food trucks are now a very popular thing in this area, we have decided to explore other means of fundraising in areas such as pickleball, skeet shooting, 3-on-3 basketball, and corn hole tournaments. With the funds raised through these events, the chamber will be more able to set up grants and scholarships for businesses and students. This is the chamber’s way of reinvesting in the economy, the community and the future of our cities. Along with these recreational sporting events, the chamber plans to implement a Farmers Market/Home Business Boutique in the Santaquin area as well as a “Passport to Adventure” summer activity in Payson. These events will be focused on bringing residents to businesses and supporting the community. All of these events are still in the beginning planning stages. Please check back at our webpage for updates and details: paysonsantaquinarea.com.

AUGUST 2020 WHITE FEATHER ROCKS White Feather Rocks is in its sixth year in business and was voted number one in the Best of Utah Valley awards in the gift shop category in 2020. Often you will see groups of children from school, Scouts or homeschool organizations coming in for a lesson on rocks and fossils, and every child leaves with a free rock and hopefully a better appreciation of nature. White Feather attributes its success to small-town values and treating everyone that comes through the door as a neighbor and friend.

SEPTEMBER 2020 NEBO COMFORT Robert and Lorene Moore, owners of Nebo Comfort, knew from the start they wanted to bring comfort to their community as well as to their customers. With dozens of larger heating and air conditioning companies in the valley, they knew they could not compete with the large advertising budgets of their competitors. So, they have looked for smaller, more personal ways to reach out to customers. The Moores created the Nebo Cares program as part of their business to become more involved in the community through the Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club and projects supporting the veteran’s home, the hospital, schools and other causes. They knew it was an important way Nebo Comfort could make a difference. Nebo Comfort has also donated much-needed home comfort

equipment to needy families throughout the community. “We’re honored to be a part of the chamber and for this recognition,” said Lorene Moore. “Being involved with the communities we serve has been such a blessing. We are grateful if we can give back a little bit of what the community has given us.”

2020 Businesses of the Month OCTOBER 2020 CRANE GARDEN The Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce honored the Crane Garden as its Business of the Month for October 2020. Owner and operator Lei Kang has done an amazing job in taking her restaurant’s existing building and beautifying the grounds and interior to create a beautiful dining experience. She has added so much to the community. The Crane Garden serves a wide variety of gourmet Asian foods such as sushi, sashimi and Chinese specialties.

NOVEMBER 2020 ADMIRAL PLUMBING, HEATING & COOLING The employees at Admiral Plumbing, Heating and Cooling love meeting people in the community as they visit homes to fix plumbing issues or get a furnace working properly. It’s always a happy day when a customer gets to upgrade to endless hot water with a new tankless water heater. However, they know having home maintenance or repairs done is not the most fun thing to spend money on, especially when it is unexpected. Admiral Plumbing tries very hard to make sure the experience is as convenient, pleasant and affordable as possible for its customers. Admiral Plumbing has been in business for 20 years and appreciates any business given to it, from repairing a small pipe leak to a full furnace and air conditioner replacement; every job as important. Its goal is to build relationships of trust; most of its business comes from repeat customers and referrals.

DECEMBER 2020 THE INSURANCE CENTER Ty Jones and his team at The Insurance Center have been heavily involved in the community and have nothing but love for the people they assist. Jones has been running the Payson location of The Insurance Center on the city’s Historic Main Street since 2010. It is an independent agency and provides insurance services including life, health, home, auto, umbrella, farm, commercial business, workers compensation and bonds. They represent various companies such as Met Life, Liberty Mutual, Travelers, Bear River and Auto Owners, just to name a few. Their growth and success can be attributed to their integrity in helping those they serve to the best of the ability.

Payson Mayor’s Message Citizens and Friends of Payson, All I can say is WOW! What a year 2020 was! In last year’s mayors message, I referred to 2020 as perfect vision. Little did we know what was ahead of us! I’m glad that it is behind us now. I know, we still have the COVID-19 virus to deal with, but at least we have a vaccine now and more options on the way. We can finally begin the process of getting back to normal — not a new normal, but a normal that allows us to use the lessons we have learned to improve the way we live and interact with each other. The challenge that we still have as elected officials and citizens is to continue to get as close to perfection as possible. I know that together we can accomplish this goal. Since my letter last year, we have accomplished some of our goals and continue to make progress on the remaining ones, and we have set some new ones. Here is an update on just a few of them. - We have completed our General, Master, and Specific plans and adopted them. Now we must implement them as we interact with developers and businesses wanting to become part of our community. We continue to experience unprecedented interest in our city, I believe it will continue. We must and will be ready for it. Ongoing development and future plans: - Development at the Payson Gateway location (the old Hillman Baseball Complex at 800 South and 800 West). We are working with Woodbury, the owner of the property, to attract an anchor store. Since the completion of the complex, Café Rio has located there and there has been heightened interest expressed by potential anchor stores and support businesses. - Due to the development of the Payson Gateway project, plans are well underway by the city and the Utah Department of Transportation to install a four-way signal light at 930 West and 800 South, the current entrance to the Gateway development. - Utah Valley University has bought 38.9 acres from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for a satellite campus. The location of the property is east of the Nebo Power Station and 26

the Payson City Vehicle and Streets department buildings. The recently approved new Payson I-15 interchange will be located just to the east of the UVU campus. The interchange is not currently funded, but it is an approved project. We are working with our state government representatives, our senator, the governor’s office and UDOT to obtain the necessary funding to build the interchange. We are planning on having a new FrontRunner station at the new interchange adjacent to the UVU campus. - The Red Bridge development, which includes a 13-acre campus for Mountainland Technical College, continues to make progress. This project will include development of retail outlets, business office space and an assortment of housing needs. This project is being designed with the goal in mind for a second FrontRunner station. - The Holdaway property, located on the east side of our city at approximately 2100 West State Road198, has been annexed into the city and is currently being developed. It will have an assortment housing developments, including a 55-and-older community, an assisted living complex and approximately 8 acres reserved for retail outlets. - We are building six new baseball fields to replace the fields that are being removed due to the Payson Gateway development. The work on the baseball fields, four Little League fields (baseball/softball fields) and two Pony League fields is currently ahead of schedule due to the mild winter we are experiencing. - After a year of planning and negotiations, we have announced that the Parris RV (Recreational Vehicles) dealership will be coming to Payson. It will be located by the north Main Street I-15 northbound onramp. The dealership will be located on 25 acres to the northeast of the old Flying J location. - As a result of funding we received for the COVID-19 pandemic, we sponsored a Payson business/citizen stimulus program. The city sent out five coupons to each family in Payson worth $50. The coupons were to be used at any participating business in Payson. They could use all five coupons at one business or at a mixture of businesses. If they used the coupons at five different businesses, they could enter a drawing to win one of

Payson Santaquin Connection • www.paysonsantaquinarea.com

seven $200 gift cards. According to citizens and businesses, the stimulus was a great success! - Also as a result of COVID-19 funding, the city is planning to replace its old billboard on I-15 with a new digital billboard. It will be used to keep our citizens informed of city events, chamber of commerce events, retail businesses events and other items of note. - For nearly three years, we have been working on a new city branding project. It has been an honor for me to be part of this effort that will set the tone for our city for years to come. Our new tag line will be “Home to Adventure.” In the not-too-distant future, we will be rolling out this new and exciting change. There will be opportunities for all of you to participate. Please look for and take advantage of the ways you can become involved. These are just a few of the many project that we are working on. There are many more ongoing projects and others in the planning stages that I do not have space to include in this article. We have many opportunities to plan for and benefit from, they are coming! We must be ready for them. As I have said in previous articles. I believe that we can enjoy all the benefits of that growth and avoid the negative side effects. Please help us to protect our community and our values as we grow. Thank you! Bill Wright Payson City Mayor

Miss Payson 2020 MISS PAYSON & ATTENDANTS MISS PAYSON NATALIE EDWARDS Natalie is the daughter of John and Beth Edwards. She graduated from Payson High School in the Class of 2019 where she spent most of her time on stage participating in the school’s theater productions. Edwards is now attending Snow College in pursuit of an associate’s degree in accounting. Later this year, she plans to transfer to Utah Valley University to finish her education. Edwards’ Social Impact Initiative is called “Project SOS: Saving Other Souls” and educates the community on the signs of human trafficking. She volunteers with Operation Underground Railroad’s Southern Utah County volunteer team as well as Snow College’s OUR club. She believes that knowledge is power, and if enough people commit to learning the signs of human trafficking, we can truly make a difference in our world. Natalie has loved serving the commu-

nity of Payson in such trying and unprecedented times. “It makes my love for Payson even stronger than before,” she said. “It has made me so grateful for every single event and time spent with the people of this community, and it’s something I’ll never take for granted.” She is excited to represent the wonderful city of Payson this June at the Miss Utah competition and to pass down her crown to a lucky contestant in June as well.

FIRST ATTENDANT BRIANA BARTHOLOMEW Briana is the daughter of David and Graciela Bartholomew. She graduated from Salem Hills High School with high honors. She was awarded the 2019-2020 Sterling Scholar Award for dance and served as president of the Salem Hills Dance Company.

Payson City Events EASTER EGG HUNT The Payson City Easter Egg Hunt looked a little different in 2020 than in past years. With Easter landing at the beginning of the COVID-19 shutdown, we decided to try something completely new. Our annual Easter Egg Hunt morphed into a scavenger hunt for 20 2-foot, hand-painted, plywood Easter eggs placed/hidden throughout the city of Payson. Some were pretty obvious and others proved to be a bit harder to find. Even though it was not our traditional egg hunt, the residents of Payson enjoyed the experience and requested that we continue the event. The City of Payson and the Payson Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce is planning for a live Easter egg hunt in 2021 (with a plan B prepared if needed), but we will also continue the scavenger hunt for the enjoyment of Payson (and surrounding areas).

PAYSON GOLDEN ONION DAYS This annual celebration was first held in 1929 as an opportunity for residents and former residents to renew old friendships and make new ones. Originally known as the Onion Harvest and Homecoming, the event honored Payson’s status as an agricultural district and outstanding producer of onions. The celebration was later renamed Payson City Golden Onion Days, and that is the name that remains to this day. Golden Onion Days is typically held each year on Labor Day weekend and includes events such as concerts, a carnival, a baby contest, a car show, a Dutch oven cook-off, 5K and 10K races, a parade and fireworks. Onion Days looked and felt different to many of Payson’s residents in 2020. Payson City Event Planner and Coordinator Janeen Dean did a wonderful job making the annual festival something that could still be enjoyed while scaling back a bit in areas to ensure safety during the pandemic. The Onion Days Parade was probably the event missed the most; however, the fireworks display was above and beyond what the residents have experienced in years past. Thank you, Janeen!

PAYSON SCOTTISH FESTIVAL The annual Payson Scottish Festival and Highland Games celebrate Scottish traditions in all forms: dance, music, food, competition and entertainment. The first festival was organized more than 30 years ago as part of Payson’s Golden Onion Days, but today the festival is held for two days each July. The first event, the Friday night Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lee), is held at the bandstand in Payson’s Memorial Park and features performers and dancers regaling the crowd with Scottish music, song, stories and dance. The next day, events begin with a parade on Payson’s Main Street followed by the opening ceremonies, which include music by bagpipe bands. Visitors can then enjoy a variety of activities ranging from craft and food booths to additional bandstand performances, athletic and bagpipe competitions and a Highland Dance competition. The day wraps up with more music by bagpipe bands and the announcement of competition winners during the closing ceremonies. 34

SALMON SUPPER For more than 60 years, crowds of people have journeyed to Payson City each August to enjoy the Payson Salmon Supper, a tradition in the city since 1954. Thousands of pounds of fresh salmon are flown in for this event and cooked over open fruitwood fires by local firemen. The hungry participants come from throughout the area, some arriving by busload, to enjoy the meal in Payson’s Memorial Park. The lines are long but move quickly, and musicians and singers perform while attendees anticipate enjoying the main attraction — the food. Sides include baked potatoes, corn on the cob, salad, roll and dessert. Originally organized by local congregations of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the Salmon Supper is now run by Payson City. In 2020, the Salmon Supper was a sold-out event run with safety and enjoyment in mind. Many turned out to support the annual event while wearing masks and social distancing. There were some tables and chairs available for dining in the park, but many chose to take their food home and enjoy it with their family members. Either way, the weather was beautiful and it was wonderful to see so many support this amazing event.

WESTERN HERITAGE NIGHT Five years ago, two law enforcement officers who like to sing approached Payson City’s events coordinator with an idea: create an evening of music that celebrates the city’s heritage and way of life. As a result, Payson offered its first Western Heritage Night in 2016, and the event has gone on to become a summer tradition in the city. Held at the Peteetneet Outdoor Amphitheater, Western Heritage Night offers its audience a Dutch oven dinner followed by entertainers performing old-time country music under the stars. Western Heritage Night is presented through support from sponsors and Payson City.

Payson Recreation PRESERVING THE FOREBAY AREA Work has started on a new parking area in Payson Canyon that will serve as a designated entrance into the Forebay Area, a large portion of land in the foothills south of Payson that is popular for hiking, mountain biking and other recreational activities. In 2001, Payson City purchased the approximately 500 acres of land known as Forebay with the intent of protecting Payson’s watershed while preserving open space for wildlife habitat and local recreation. The property is located adjacent to the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest along the Mt. Nebo Scenic Byway and is also directly south of Gladstan Golf Course. “It’s an area that really haasn’t been developed, and that’s one of the reasons why the city purchased it, to kind of keep it from getting developed,” said Payson City Manager David Tuckett. Outdoor enthusiasts have used the area for years for hiking, horseback riding, biking and riding ATV’s. As a

result, an unofficial network of trails, roads and paths has been created throughout the area. Some of these are in good condition and provide excellent access through Forebay, but others have caused erosion concerns and encouraged trespassing across and damage to private property and fire access roads. A management plan for the Forebay Area was created in 2008 to help mitigate these issues while maintaining a natural area people can enjoy. That plan was updated in 2020 following extensive public input gathered through surveys, public open houses and a steering committee made up of city staff and elected leaders, local recreationalists and adjacent property owners. The plan includes short- and longterm projects and tasks that will improve the recreational experience in the Forebay area such as identifying trailheads, creating signage and proposing potential new trails while still protecting the environment.

Payson Santaquin Connection • www.paysonsantaquinarea.com

The Payson City Council passed a resolution in May of 2020 limiting motorized vehicles in Forebay. “There’s a lot of damage that’s happening with four-wheelers and other motorized vehicles, and so we’re trying to mitigate that,” Tuckett said. The new parking area is being built as part of plans to create a few main access points into Forebay and encourage the public to use them. “It’s not to keep people out; it’s to control it a little bit, to help preserve it and make it so many people can use it,” Tuckett said. The lot will provide parking for an existing trail that will serve as the main access point on the Payson Canyon side of Forebay. Currently, people park on the side of the road, creating problems for canyon traffic. A bridge will also be built over Peteetneet Creek near the parking lot, and future plans call for a restroom there. The parking lot is expected to be completed within a couple of months. Payson City is working with Elk Ridge City to potentially provide a parking lot on that city’s side of the Forebay Area. Tuckett said he believes as trails are groomed and designated access points are created, the Forebay Area will become a more popular destination. “We’re planning on making Forebay a recreation area, limit development and just have it be a nice area that’s close to home where people can enjoy it,” Tuckett said.

Payson Business SALE SOARING FOR PAYSON TRIKES DEALERSHIP Between an new online marketing push and the COVID-19 pandemic that had people searching for a safe outdoor activity, Utah Trikes in Payson has experienced a phenomenal increase in sales, with about 90 percent of its purchasers outside Utah. “From previous years, I would say our sales were up about 200 percent in some months” during 2020, said Kai Urmston, general manager of Utah Trikes. Utah Trikes is a dealer in recumbent tricycles, a mode of transportation where the rider sits in a chair rather than in a small seat, and the pedals are positioned in front instead of under the rider. It provides a more comfortable experience, especially for those in an older age demographic that find riding a bicycle too difficult or painful. “There’s a lot of people now that are making the switch from two-wheeled bicycles to trikes,” Urmston said. The business was created in the early 2000s in Spanish Fork, then moved to its current Payson location. While its not the only trike dealer in the country, it is the largest. Utah Trikes obtains the trikes it sells from manufacturers in Florida, the United Kingdom, Germany and the Czech Republic, then assembles them in its facility at 40 S. Main, Payson. What sets them apart from other trike dealers, however, is their customization process. Want a special feature or accessory added to your trike? Want a bigger wheel on the back or a different gearing mechanism? Want it powder coated in a color not offered by the manufacturer? Utah Trikes can do it, and it has even invented some of its own custom accessories. “We make it to order,” Urmston said. Over the years, at customers’ request, the business has taken trikes and made them into quads, which are trikes with four wheels. Recently, however, it began manufacturing its own quads. “These newer quads that we’ve started selling … they’re one of a kind, something that we designed,” Urmston said. These quads include versions that are partially electric and fully electric. Some people choose the partially electric quad because they want to get exercise but also

want assistance going uphill. The fully electric quads have a thumb throttle and are ADA-compliant. “Anyone with a handicap can take them pretty much anywhere,” Urmston said. Late last year, Utah Trikes decided to begin an online marketing campaign to get the word out about the business. They began producing videos for the Utah Trikes YouTube channel that introduced customers to their products, answered questions about recumbent trikes and showcased the various features available. “The idea is to help people get familiar with recumbent trikes and inform them of what all their options are,” Urmston said. “We wanted to be entertaining but

informative.” Business started picking up and has never slowed down. Urmston attributes this to the marketing campaign and people looking for something to do after COVID-19 shutdowns. Many customers started out looking for bicycles, realized bike shops were sold out and then found Utah Trikes, she said. “It’s exciting because it’s kind of an untapped market,” Urmston said. “It’s another option.”

Utah Representative Doug Welton SERVING THROUGH TEACHING, PUBLIC OFFICES Payson resident Doug Welton wanted to do something that made a difference in his community. That desire led him to a teaching career, a seat on the Payson City Council and his most recent position in public service: representating District 67 in the Utah House of Representatives. Welton took office in the Utah Legislature in early January, just one day after leaving his position on the Payson City Council where he had served since January 2016. His first legislative session wrapped up on March 5. His district includes Payson, Santaquin, Elk Ridge, Goshen and Genola as well as part of Salem and areas to the west, northwest and southwest of Utah Lake. “This is a great area with really great people that live down in this area, and so it’s fun to represent them,” Welton said. Welton is essentially a lifelong resident of Payson, having moved to the city at the age of 4. He’s lived here ever since excluding a short time after his marriage when he and his wife lived in Springville and Salem. He served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Fukuoka, Japan, and planned on studying business in college. He attended Utah Valley University for a while, eventually quitting school in favor of his job at a local jewelry store. At the age fo 28, he decided return to school. “I thought, well, I want to do someting that makes a difference,” Welton said. With that in mind, he obtained a bachelor’s degree in history education at UVU. “I always loved history,” Welton said. “I had an amazing junior high history teacher that just made it come to life.” Welton obtained his first teaching job at Spanish Fork High School where they were looking for someone who could teach both history and Japanese. It was a perfect fit for Welton. “Teaching Japanese is so much fun,” he said. “For one, it’s an elective class, so kids who are taking it want to take it.” He has also enjoyed the flexibility that comes with teaching a foreign language. He has included a lot of cultural activities to his 38

curriculum, including swapping classrooms with the foods class and teaching his students how to make Japanese cuisine. After teaching for two years at SFHS, Welton was hired to teach Japanese at both SFHS and Salem Hills High School. This meant he was no longer teaching history classes, and he decided to volunteer to teach the SHHS debate class. “I love talking about what’s going on in the world, so I kind of volunteered to teach debate, not knowing what to expect,” Welton said. He soon learned there was a large debate world out there full of competitions and organizations, and he quickly began determining how to get his students more involved. “We went from not knowing what we doing to the next year we were the region champions, and we’ve been the region champions for 12 years straight,” he said. Currently, Welton teaches Japanese, debate, philosophy and current issues at SHHS. Welton has always been interested in the political process, and as his children grew older and he had more time, he decided take the advice he’d given his children and students: go out and make a difference. This led to his decision to run for a seat on the Payson City Council. During his campaign and his service on the council, Welton said his priorities were researching issues, making sure he had correct information and then getting that information out to the public. “Most people get frustrated because they don’t know what’s going on,” he said. Rumors are circulated and false information makes its way around the community; Welton pushed the city to combat this through improved communication with residents. “I think one of the main reasons I won my second term fairly easily is because people knew that I was going to be responsive,” he said. When Utah Rep. Marc Roberts said he would not to seek re-election, Welton decided to run for the District 67 seat. “With all the growth coming to south

Utah County, I thought it was really important to have a good partnership between the municipalities and state representation,” Welton said. He also felt it was important for an educator to be part of the legislative process to help rein in the legislature’s “micromanaging” of education, adding that from 400 to 600 bills are proposed every year that deal with education. “There’s no real voice for educators in this sphere where 46 or 48 percent of our budget or something like that is education,” he said. Part of Welton’s efforts during the session included working on a large transportation funding bill. With Sen. Mike McKell, Welton worked to pare down spending in the bill while obtaining funding for some critical transportation projects in southern Utah County. This included $5 million in funding to redo Payson’s Main Street. He looks forward to serving during the remainder of his two-year term and expects he will run for a second term in office. “I really enjoy talking to people and I appreciate when people reach out,” he said.

Miss Santaquin 2020 MISS SANTAQUIN & ATTENDANTS QUEEN: ADDIE HUFF FIRST ATTENDANT: EMME MCDOWELL SECOND ATTENDANT: JADE HAYMORE From the time Addie Huff was a little girl, she was involved in the pageant scene as her mom did the choreography for local pageants. She immediately fell in love with the pageant world and dreamed of one day becoming Miss America. When she was crowned Miss Santaquin this past year, she was thrilled and felt that her childhood dreams were becoming a reality. Huff immediately got to work promoting her platform, “Stand Up and Celebrate Diversity in the Community,” which she is very passionate about. It isn’t just a platform she chose to fulfill her pageant requirements; it is something she feels with her whole heart and soul. As an African American in a predominantly white community, she has had experiences that have opened her eyes to the importance of recognizing and celebrating differences and hopes to leave a lasting impression on the beauty of diversity, equality and love. As Miss Santaquin, she stands with everyone. Huff has been holding monthly interviews with people from our community who are diverse in various ways. She posts these interviews on social media to raise awareness of her platform. She plans to have these same people participate on a question-and-answer panel in early summer where the public can ask questions and receive answers related to diversity. She hopes this event will increase understanding and acceptance of the diverse citizens among us. Huff also looks forward to her reign during Orchard Days in August and invites everyone to come participate in the activities. She is currently a senior attending Payson High School and plans to attend college in the Salt Lake area and major in criminology. In her free time, she

loves shopping, reading and doing all things girly. Huff’s attendants Emme McDowell (first attendant) and Jade Haymore (second attendant) have done a great job helping her serve the community. They have been able to serve the city of Santaquin in many ways, and it has been an awesome experience. At the beginning of the school year, they were able to do a cleaning supply drive for all the Santaquin schools to help assist with the increased cleaning regulations required because of COVID-19. Additionally, they held a thanksgiving art contest, and most recently they had a clothing drive, which was immensely successful.

Santaquin City CLOCK TOWER BEAUTIFYING SANTAQUIN ENTRANCE A clock tower dedicated to a prominent past Santaquin citizen now welcomes residents and visitors alike to the city as they leave the freeway and head west down Main Street. The tower is part of a small city park next to a 32-acre commercial development that is now home to a Macey’s grocery store, an Ace Hardware, an Arctic Circle and a Beans and Brews. “This is our front porch, if you will, of our community. … and we wanted to make it a warm and inviting atmosphere for this development,” said Santaquin City Manager Ben Reeves. The clock tower was a city project with the developer of the area contributing funds as well. Reeves said the city council discussed several options for the park such as a fountain or monument of some sort before a clock tower was decided upon. “It just seemed like the clock tower rose to the surface as an amenity that gave it some prominence and made the intersection really beautiful,” Reeves said.

A wooden arbor with benches underneath it has also been created in the park. There are empty pad sites near the arbor that could be attractive locations for restaurants, he said. The clock tower and park were dedicated in November 2020 and named Myron Olson Plaza after Myron Olson, a prominent citizen of Santaquin for many years. Born in Santaquin in 1919, Olson and his wife Ethel had five children. He worked at Geneva Steel in Orem and loved gardening and growing fruit trees. Having served in the U.S. Army and World War II from 1941 to 1945, Olson was a founding member of the Santaquin American Legion and instrumental in helping establish the Veterans Memorial at the Santaquin City Cemetery and in obtaining a World War II-era Howitzer for placement outside the Santaquin Chieftain Museum. He was grand marshal of the Santaquin Orchard Days Parade in 2005. Olson died in 2015.

Agriculture PROJECT EXAMINING SANTAQUIN’S FUTURE With the help of Utah State University students, Santaquin City is examining how it can use its strengths to promote and preserve its agricultural heritage. Students in USU’s Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning Department are evaluating what steps Santaquin could take to promote itself as an agritourism center as well as preserve its agriculture industry as residential development increases in the area. “We approached USU almost two years ago now with the idea of agritourism in our community,” said Santaquin City Manager Benjamin Reeves. “We’ve been looking for ways to preserve our agricultural industry and make it more economically viable.” The Agricultural Marketing Resource Center defines agritourism as “activities that include visiting a working farm or any agricultural, horticultural or agribusiness operation to enjoy the rural setting, be educated, or be involved in a special activity.” It could include anything from farm tours to farmers’ markets and educational events for children and adults. With its many orchards, Santaquin is the second-largest tart cherry producing area in the nation. There are several other large agricultural producers here as well, and the city is the gateway to accessing Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona. The city also serves as the southern access point to the west side

of Utah Lake in a way similar to Lehi’s position on the northern tip of the lake. All of these attributes add up to a potential opportunity to attract visitors and strengthen Santaquin’s agricultural industry. The USU students gathered data about Santaquin’s agricultural community as well as its business community, demographics, topography and more. Then, on Feb. 1-5, all the students and faculty in the entire LAEP department conducted a planning charette where they brainstormed possibilities with Santaquin community leaders “The whole intent of (the planning charette) was just to generate discussion, to better understand the city of Santaquin in its context and test out some big ideas,” said Jake Powell, extension specialist and assistant professor in the USU Department of Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning. Every year, the USU department chooses a community to work with as part of the students’ learning process. As their last project before graduating, seniors in the USU department are now taking the best ideas generated through the charette and exploring and refining them further. They will eventually present their ideas to the Santaquin City Council, receive feedback and then create their final document. In addition to addressing preservation and promotion of the city’s agricultural

where where tototo where have your have your have your

industry, their proposal will provide potential steps to take in areas such as housing development, preserving the downtown area and enhancing the gateway areas near the city’s freeway exits. Santaquin City is currently working to update its general plan, and the USU students’ proposal will be considered as part of that update Reeves said. The general plan provides a future vision for the city and its development. Growth has hit Santaquin hard during the past two years, Reeves said, causing some residents concern because of the rapid change. The city issued 430 home building permits in 2020 and expects to issue 500 to 600 this year, Reeves said. “We can’t stop growth, but we can channel growth so it preserves the great aspects of our community over the long run,” he said. Santaquin has a unique identity with its agricultural community that could disappear and never come back, Powell said. Its location on the southern end of Utah Lake and Utah County also offers potential opportunities. “Santaquin is really the welcome mat of Utah County from the south. Its role beyond just a city, beyond just its value as a city but to the county at la rge, is really important,” Powell said. “What you see in Lehi could be a portent of what you might see in Santaquin in the next 30 years, so I think there’s value in looking at lessons learned from those communities.”

Business SANTAQUIN MINERS PRODUCING CRITICAL SUPPLEMENT For more than 80 years in a canyon near Santaquin, miners have excavated a mineral crucial to keeping chickens and turkeys healthy and eggshells strong. It’s called calcium carbonate — or calcite — and it’s also utilized in human dietary supplements, paint, PVC pipe, cement, concrete and acid-neutralizing products like antacid tablets. “It’s a calcium supplement used in everything, almost,” said Benten Kester, manager of Santaquin Calcite. His company, however, mines calcite for agricultural users, specifically chicken egg producers and turkey growers. Santaquin Calcite produces an average of 180 to 200 tons of calcite a week for its clients. “We deliver 25 tons at a time to some places,” Kester said. The process of obtaining calcite begins at Santaquin Calcite’s mine in Pole Canyon. Explosives are used to release boulders from the open pit mine; the boulders are then crushed onsite to about the size of a football. Those rocks are loaded onto a truck and transported down to Santaquin Calcite’s mill in south Santaquin. There, the rocks are crushed again until they’re about 4 inches in size. The rocks then go into a mill with 46 hammers that smash the calcite down to two different sizes: small bits measuring 3/16 of an inch or less and a near-powder size measuring about 1/16 of an inch or less. As the bits of rock reach the correct size, they filter down through a screen. The mineral is then loaded into trucks and taken to clients, who mix it into their birds’ feed. This provides the birds with calcium, which helps strengthen their bones and eggshells. It’s a difficult job, but crucial for poultry farmers. Demand for calcite has shot up over the past couple of years, partly because many people are interested in eating organic products. Because calcite hasn’t been altered in any way by a chemical

Payson Santaquin Connection • www.paysonsantaquinarea.com

or steroid, it’s considered acceptable for organic farming, Kester said. Santaquin Calcite has been in the Kester family since 1937 when Kester’s grandfather and former Santaquin Mayor Alfonzo Kester discovered the mine with his brother Owen. The business later went to Kester’s uncle Clement “Jake” Kester, and then to Kester’s father, Keven Kester, and his brother, Shon Kester. Benten Kester now manages the business and all three of his sons work there. The mill has always operated at the location where it sits today on land purchased by Kester’s great-grandmother. Kester has made improvements on the property, including adding a mechanism to a large outdoor loading funnel that greatly reduces dust. “The customers won’t let us quit,” Kester said. Fortunately, the mine still has more than 30 million tons of calcite left. “We have enough for my grandkids and their kids,” he said.

Raising kids can be a messy job. Finding the right pediatrician shouldn’t be.

Education SIXTH, SEVENTH GRADES RETURNING TO MIDDLE SCHOOL Sixth- and seventh-graders in Payson and Santaquin headed to middle school in 2020, and more southern Utah County students will follow in their footsteps this fall. Nebo School District is in the midst of returning to the middle school model where students attend sixth and seventh grades in middle school rather than staying in elementary school for sixth grade and attending seventh grade in junior high. As part of that process, and utilizing part of the funds from a $298 million bond issue approved by district voters, the district constructed the new Valley View Middle School in Salem. Valley View, which opened last August, pulls students from Barnett and Taylor elementary schools in Payson as well as Salem, Mt. Loafer and Foothills elementary schools in Salem. Mt. Nebo Junior High School transitioned to become Mt. Nebo Middle School in 2020. The school pulls students from Payson and Santaquin as well as

Goshen, Genola and Elberta. Two additional new middle schools – Maple Grove Middle School in Mapleton and Spring Canyon Middle School in Springville – are under construction and will open this fall. Their designs are essentially identical to Valley View. Diamond Fork Junior High School in Spanish Fork will transition into a middle school in 2021. “It’s a fantastic building. It’s one of the best in the district, I think,” said Valley View Principal David Knudsen. At 143,000 square feet, the new two-story school has 51 teaching stations, two computer classrooms, two resource classrooms, a full gym with a track on the second floor, a lecture hall serving as a meeting place for larger groups, and a cafetorium with a stage for large performances. Valley View currently has about 900 students, but has room for about 1,300, Knudsen said. “The kids were excited,” he said while describing his school’s opening last fall.

“They were really excited about the building. I think there still is an excitement about the building.” The middle school model allows sixth-graders to access extracurricular classes such as band, orchestra, choir and drama a year earlier than if they had waited until seventh grade to leave elementary school. Valley View students have already presented a musical this year and have been working on a play, Knudsen said. The transition to middle schools is also making it possible for all the students at

Valley View students will eventually attend Salem Junior High and then Salem Hills High School. Mt. Nebo Middle School students will attend Payson Junior High and then Payson High School. Payson residents can look forward to another new school within the next few years. Built in 1967, the current Payson High is scheduled to be rebuilt beginning in the spring of 2023 using funds from the $298 million bond issue. It is scheduled to be completed by fall of 2025. When Valley View was getting ready to open, community volunteers came together to help move in and assemble hundreds of desks and chairs and ready the school for its first day. The Salem Hills High School cross country team, which frequently ran by the school site, volunteered its help when members saw the moving had begun. “It was a fun community time for those who were involved,” Knudsen said.
