Draper is my Muse
MAY 2016
M
ay marks Draper Lifestyle magazine’s first birthday. Which means we’ve been around for a year. A WHOLE YEAR. And what a year! We’ve gone through many changes, met so many people and generally, just had a really fun ride. We’ve acquired writers and photographers, switched up publishers, and tried really earnestly to come into our own. I have loved being a part of this; I hope you have too. Our cover this month features a masterpiece of a quilt, made by small second-grade hands from Draper Elementary, rendered and pieced using watercolor, permanent marker and fabric, that depicts landmarks from around our town. I really like this quilt. Because I really like the idea of Draper as the muse. It’s sort of what I’ve been thinking this past year: that the place inspires the work. That Draper—and its people and stories—inspires every page in the magazine. Every article idea, every photograph and hopefully, every subsequent conversation and friendship is simply because of a shared interest in and love of our community. At Draper Elementary’s Art night, standing guard next to this gorgeous quilt was a description that said this: Just as a community depends on its citizens working together to create a beautiful place to live, this quilt is one masterpiece made up of small but truly important pieces. And that’s what this magazine is like—a collection of small, important pieces of our community fashioned together each month to tell this ongoing story. Our story. Thank you for being a part of it,

Smart Home Technology Will Eliminate the Need for Keys SIRI, TURN THE KITCHEN LIGHTS OFF! ARTICLE DUSTIN BROHM
T
echnology is changing our world every day. We’re just beginning to wrap our heads around the countless things the internet makes possible. In the next 18-24 months, we’re going to see some pretty amazing inventions come to market. Smart homes, smart kitchens, smart appliances, smart cabinets… smart everything! No doubt about it, the “smartification” of the world is coming. It’s just the way the “the market” and the evolution of technology is moving. But these advances in technology don’t need to be feared; they’re about to make our lives easier. What if you could unlock your front door simply by using your voice? Thanks to smart home technology, you already can! Imagine for a second that both hands are full because you are carrying your baby in one arm and groceries in the other. You don’t even have a free hand available to fumble for your keys. No problem, just tell your phone to unlock the front door! Taking that one step further, lets say that your family just flew in for Christmas, (and Utahn’s have BIG families) but you are stuck in traffic and won’t get home in time to let them in. Grandma Edna is already on her way in an Uber and you don’t want her waiting outside in the cold until you get home. Wouldn’t it be great to just send them a temporary “e-key” to unlock the door and go inside? You could even specify that their e-key is only valid only for the three days they’re in town. After that, the key would expire. You could literally be sitting on the beach in Hawaii and say “Siri, unlock my front door.” Talk about a gamechanger! What if you could turn on your kitchen lights and turn the heat up two degrees simply by walking into the kitchen? Sounds pretty futuristic and far-fetched, right? Wrong. Thanks to smart home technology, this is already a reality. If you haven’t heard about the August Smart Lock yet, you will. Especially since August teamed up with Apple to integrate their smart tech with Siri. That’s right, you can control your smart home devices with your voice through Siri. In 2014, August released the August Smart Lock, an amazing smart home device that could eventually make keys obsolete. The lock is controlled by an app on your phone, which allows you (or whoever you grant access to) to lock and unlock your door. The smart lock comes in a few 16

different colors to match the style of your home, and allows you to keep your current door hardware. The smart lock attaches to the interior-side of the deadbolt lock and is not noticeable from the exterior side of the door. From the outside, no one can see that you have a smart lock installed. To compliment the Smart lock, August has the Smart Doorbell Cam, so you can see and communicate with someone on your front porch, even when you’re not home. It will even act as a smart security camera by giving you on-demand video access through the August app, or by sending you notifications on your phone whenever it detects motion. When someone comes to your door, a one-way video will pop up on your phone through the August app. You have the option to tap a button to let them in, or tell them to scram! “But what if I lose my phone? Won’t I be locked out?” Nope. If you accidentally leave both your phone at work, you can just use your key to unlock your Smart Lock the old fashioned way. Special e-keys can be made for either repeated use, temporary use, or one-time use, meaning you can give your house cleaner an e-key that expires 4 hours later after being used just once, all while maintaining a permanent e-key for you and your family. Smart home technology can even help your home sell faster too, since no one else really has it yet. It’s a great, inexpensive way to create a "wow factor" for potential buyers and separate your home from the competition. The next couple years will see many new advances in technology and social media. If you're at all like me, you're excited to see what comes next. Buckle up!

O
n the south side of Pioneer Road, directly across the street from the TRAX stop,
is Pioneer Square, a small historic center for the city. On the corner is the Fitzgerald brick home that now houses the Chamber of Commerce and on the other end is the Day Barn, which can be rented for special occasions and such. Nestled in between the two is a rustic, rectangular log cabin with a history as old as the city itself. In 1851, Perry Fitzgerald was sent to Draper at the behest of Brigham Young to help settle the area with the five other families that were already here. Fitzgerald quickly built the modest cabin on a granite foundation and settled in with his family to tame the south part of the Salt Lake Valley. Fitzgerald was an original Mormon pioneer, as in, his name is carved into the towering monument at This is the Place State Park. He was with Brigham Young when they first entered the valley in 1847 and actually heard Young utter the famous line, “This is the right place. Drive on.”

He raised the alarm and begged for help from family members scattered throughout the community to help put the cabin back together and preserve an important part of Draper’s heritage. Through the coordinated help of a lot of family members and friends in the area, the cabin was reconstructed once again and placed in Draper Park, on the southeast side, in between the pavilion and the ball field. The resurrected cabin remained at that location for over a decade and was once again neglected. There were no doors on it and it became a favorite spot for doggie breaks and teenage mischief. Once again, something had to be done. This is when Ronald Smith and Randall Fitzgerald Smith signed a contract with the city in 2008 and volunteered to adopt the cabin and take care of it. Two rows of the bottom logs were rotting out and the damage was irreparable. The Smith’s wrote a grant proposal to the state museum and were awarded $6,000. In addition, the Fitzgerald family donated another $4,000 and Draper gave them $7,200. The cabin was raised up and new logs were made at a mill in Heber City. As the Smith’s were preparing to install the new logs and put the cabin back together, Steve Lindey, the Draper parks manager, approached the Smith’s to ask if the cabin could be relocated to Pioneer Square, almost to its original location. A new foundation needed to be built for the cabin and the easiest solution would have been concrete. However, Ronald Smith wanted a granite foundation, just like it had in the beginning. City Councilman Alan Summerhays was a big proponent for a granite foundation as well and they were able to use a discarded pile of granite rocks that were left over from the Salt Lake Temple. The rock pile sat where the TRAX line ends now. These rocks still had the drill marks that the pioneers made so long ago. It was the perfect fit for the Fitzgerald’s cabin. On a quiet Sunday morning and with the help of a professional moving company and the Highway Patrol, the cabin made its way back to its final resting place on the back of a large truck. It was set on rails and three men slowly guided it into place. Everything was there except for the floor. Ronald and Randall Smith were able to salvage the majority of the original floor and only had to replace a small number of boards. Then a few years later, they were able to find a craftsman with the skills to chink the gaps in the logs and seal the cabin up nicely just as the Fitzgerald family would have constructed it 160 years ago. The final finish came in 2012 when the plexiglass windows were replaced with replicated glass panes. Draper city put in all of the beautiful landscaping. The cabin is now used as an extension of the Draper Historical Museum and tours can be scheduled by calling the Draper Historical Society at 801.495.3476. It is a well-loved cabin and an important piece of history for the community.

options and interviewing several individuals in the library system, I decided that this was the change I was looking for. I completed library school and was hired as a Public Service Librarian four years ago. I love being a librarian, helping patrons with their research and reading needs, facilitating the senior center book club and managing sections of the library’s collection. Besides the scriptures, I'm not sure I can pinpoint any favorite books. I am a non-fiction reader and love reading religious books and books about cultural studies that investigate how culture affects individual experience, everyday life

ick Killpack lived in places such as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Denver before moving to Draper. He raves that Utah is “the most beautiful place aesthetically” while he describes Draper as, “a clean, friendly, safe community.” Killpack found the perfect place to hang his hat in Draper’s new Triton Terrace located just off the Bangerter Parkway.
With amenities such as a pool and hot tub, a BBQ area, a playground and a basketball court, all with valley vistas, Killpack describes residency at Triton Terrace as “resort-style living.” “I have a balcony that has the perfect view of the valley,” Killpack said. He touts Triton Terrace’s easy access to the freeway as well as shopping in the Bangerter Crossing area or the outlet mall at Traverse Mountain. Where getting out into nature is concerned, Killpack added, “It’s really close to a lot of paved, gravel and dirt trails for hiking and biking.” CONTINUED >

Open House
(CON TI N U ED)
Killpack has found the complex to be made up of friendly tenants and helpful community managers such as Lauren Nichols and her colleagues whom he says offer excellent customer service. He also appreciates what he calls “the niceties you wouldn’t find in other places” like how the parking lots are kept clean and the attention that’s paid to landscaping, as well as what he describes as attractive paint colors on the buildings. “We are one of the smallest communities locally so we’re able to remember names and cater to our residents. Because we’re small and plan to stay small, we can really personalize our services,” Nichols said. “That feeling of community keeps people here,” she added. Fun activities for residents including pizza parties, food truck events, pool parties and movie nights are planned. And with technology companies nearby and UTA’s plans for a Trax station in the area, “It’s a prime location for sure,” Nichols said. Killpack was one of the first to choose Triton Terrace for his new home. He’d driven by and admired the complex for months while it was being built until he finally stopped in to get more information. He found that “the prices were fair” and he was further delighted to find that “cable is included which makes it easier to pay your bills because it’s all bundled.” Killpack also appreciates that Triton Terrace offers washer/dryer hook-ups or the choice of having that equipment provided, even in their one-bedroom apartments. Triton Terrace is pet friendly with their “Scentral Park” for dogs and health-friendly with indoor and outdoor gyms as well as a cardio theatre where residents can use a fitness-on-demand program to choose a session of yoga or a workout geared toward a particular area they hope to focus on such as cardio, flexibility or strength. Carol Morris is Vice President of Triton Investments, the Draper-based family business that, together with investors, owns and operates Triton Terrace. “We’ve been in this industry for over thirty years, so we know what the residents want and what they don’t like. We decided to make this pet friendly, to have high-end amenities and to not charge hidden fees…that’s a pet peeve of a lot of people,” Morris said. Not only are the complex’s interior features high-end with granite countertops and faux hardwood floors, they’ve even gone the extra mile in giving all residents walk-in closets. Triton Terrace is made up of mostly one and two bedroom apartments, but they also offer nine luxury townhomes for people or families looking for more space. “Everything here is catered to the resident. It’s very easy and classy living,” Morris said. Residents can even choose to have a wall painted with an accent color and Triton management can help arrange for furnishings when needed. Everyone 24

at Triton gets reserved covered parking and garages are also an option. The management of Triton strives to be flexible on lease terms in order to accommodate tenants’ needs. “We are the perfect place to move into when you leave your parents’ home, are waiting for your house to be built, for people tired of taking care of snow removal or yard work and house maintenance, those relocating from out of state, or for avid thrill seekers with Utah’s pleasures like mountain biking, skiing and hiking nearby,” Morris said. “It’s a great place to live--affordable, friendly, clean, new and in a great location,” Killpack said.

ingenuous hiding spot to retrieve a much needed treat. Hey, with six kids, I have earned it! It might be some cheap, hard candy, a cherished cookie, or maybe a Diet Dr. Pepper. Like any astute mom, my treats have to be carefully concealed or they vanish. My stash is still a secret because I hide it low, like in the drawer beneath the oven or on the ground behind the pantry door. My kids never pick anything up, so why in the world would they ever look down? Moms, where do you hide

Making Family Dinner More Than
JUST FOOD
TRANSFORMING REGULAR DINNER NOURISHES BODY AND SOUL WORDS AND PHOTOGRAPHY MARY ETHERINGTON
F
amily dinner has been somewhat put on the back burner with our busy schedules of extracurricular activities, long work hours and so much to do. I recently listened to a talk radio program about family dinners and was intrigued with a thought shared that children can learn more vocabulary from family dinner conversations than they can from an adult reading to them. This idea comes from a Harvard Medical School professor and mother, Anne K. Fishel Ph.D., the Director of The Family and Couples Therapy Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, co-founder of The Family Dinner Project and Author of “Home for Dinner: Mixing Food, Fun, and Conversation for a Happier Family and Healthier Kids.” We all want to foster the development of our children in the best way possible and we can do so much for them simply through having consistent family meals. Dr. Fishel said, “Studies have tied shared meals to increased resiliency and self-esteem in children, higher academic achievement, a healthier relationship to food, and even a reduced risk of substance abuse and eating disorders.” My son just turned eight years old, and at his age it is said that he has the capacity to learn 20 new words a day, but on average it is only five to eight words per day. To help with his development as well as add creativity to our conversations, I recently started using table topic cards while prepping dinner to encourage discussions with questions like “What’s the best way to spend a rainy weekend?” or “Would you rather live by the beach or in the mountains?” It can be comical hearing a child’s response while still thought provoking and insightful for everyone. To extend quality family time at the table, Dr. Fishel suggests incorporating conversation starters or games into family meal time. She likes one called "Rose, Thorn and

Bud”--also called “The Peach and The Pit”--about a good/bad or favorite/ least favorite experience from the day. For "Rose, Thorn and Bud," each family member describes something positive or funny (the rose of the day), something negative or difficult (the thorn), and something they hope will happen tomorrow (the bud). My recollection of family dinner as a youth was a well-balanced meal always including a green salad (without fail) in addition to cooked vegetables, with my parents recounting their work days since they both worked full-time. As children, all six of us would chime in about our school days filled with sports, work and extracurricular activities. Sometimes, as an extension of dinner, we incorporated our “family night.” A friend recently shared with me that while growing up, her family dinners were very proper without much table conversation. Now a mother herself, she struggles at times in knowing how to converse with her own children, but says it comes very easily to her husband. In following or doing the opposite of our parents’ example, at times we may find ourselves needing a little more motivation to reach our family dinner goals. If your family needs help in the area of making family dinner a place to unwind and reconnect distant from the outside pressures of work and school, Dr. Fishel’s book includes affordable, easy and fun recipes, stories, new research and advice that may be helpful. It shares ideas to get kids to help out, how to make meals for everyone at every age including the pickiest eaters, as well as ways to make dinnertime conversation stimulating and fun. As a closing thought Dr. Fishel notes, “family therapy can be helpful, but regular dinner is transformative.”
