Editor’s Letter

Of Bridges and Back-to-School

SEPTEMBER 2015 publisher

(We run the gamut in this issue.)

Alan Anderson | AAnderson@LifestylePubs.com

T

his time of year always feels far more full of resolve than the new year to me. I’m certain it’s because January is cold and September is full of back to school supplies.

I mean schedules.

Back to school and “back to schedules” heralds a type of new beginning, and I am ready for it—ready for bedtimes, ready to ban chips from my life, ready to have my days structured by the workaday 9 to 5 (or 7 to 3, as the school day case may be).

And yet the whole hulabaloo is a bit of a transition. I don’t have children who go gently back to school and they hold on to summer with a determined defiance—we will eke the most out of these last lovely days of sunshine even as we settle into homework and family dinners and the busy-ness of after school activities and lessons and practices.

(Wait, am I ready for this?)

September in general is a transitional month, where the dog days linger till night falls, and inside that evening breeze there is a new loft, a call out, a bit of chill. The schedules are changing, the weather is changing, and behind all of that, lined up like dominoes ready to fall: the leaves change, the Halloween costumes are chosen, the holidays are stressed about.

But until that slippery slope into that, there is this thought, for right now, and it has to do with a bridge.

A bridge is a solution, yes? A way to make something easier. A bridge spans an expanse, makes passable something that at one point had no passage, offers a way to traverse, a way to connect two points.

So it’s awfully fitting that we have a bridge on the cover.

Because in this issue we cover solutions and connections, beginning with the literal, as a new suspension bridge goes up in Bear Canyon, to the figurative, as high school seniors offer solutions to real-world (and aptly local) issues in a year-end school project. We remember how the young students at the old Park School banded together and raised money for an original Norman Rockwell and are inspired by a neighbor who wanted a zebra… so she got a zebra.

See? Solutions for problems you didn't even know you had.

Enjoy your September,

Around Town SURGERY CENTER OPENS AT LONE PEAK HOSPITAL

ALTERNATIVE SCHOOL GIVEN SPARKLING NAME

Lone Peak Surgery Center has recently opened, complementing the services already provided by Draper’s Lone Peak Hospital and offering a variety of outpatient procedures.

Specialized procedures include ENT, sports surgeries, laparoscopic gastric sleeves, lap bands, minimally invasive spine surgery, gynecological procedures and urology.

“As Lone Peak Surgery Center joins our campus family, we see another important piece set in place that offers community members more services and options to getting healthier,” says Lone Peak Hospital’s CEO Mark Meadows. “Our commitment to deliver comprehensive, superior care is enhanced with more physicians and specialties literally a corridor away. With this kind of collaboration, everyone wins.”

Lone Peak Surgery Center is located at 96 East Kimballs Lane in Draper.

The Canyons Board of Education voted to name the campus Diamond Ridge High. The alternative high school opened August 19. Eighty students were expected to attend classes at Diamond Ridge, and were composed of 16-18 year old students who had previously been pursuing a high school diploma at Entrada, Canyons’ adult high school.

Canyons Assistant Superintendent Dr. Kathryn McCarrie says the new name brings to mind the meaning of the skitrail rating signs seen on the slopes of nearby resorts, “Skiers know that runs marked with a diamond suggest difficulty and challenge with great rewards at the end.” In addition, the moniker continues the tradition of Canyons District high schools bearing names depicting the geographical surroundings. “The ‘ridge’ in the name suggests a high geographical point with beauty and vision,” says McCarrie.

Those who wish to attend the new school need to discuss the possibility of enrollment with current school counselors.

New-school enrollments begin January 2016.

COME MEET ZURI, FRED, ETHEL AND JEANNIE BROWN, THE ZEBRA LADY WITH AN INDOMITABLE SPIRIT ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY KELLY ERICKSON

O

n July 29, 2015, Jeannie suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage and subsequent stroke during routine surgery. Jeannie has extensive brain trauma due to this bleed and will require many months of care and rehabilitation. Please support the Brown family as they help Jeannie heal by contributing to the “Brown Family Charitable Fund” at any America First Credit Union, or making a donation at youcaring.com/zebralady If you ever have taken a stroll on the Porter Rockwell Trail, on the east side of Draper, there are several landmarks you will notice; the bridge at 1300 east, an imposing, rusting dinosaur sculpture near Deer Hollow Park, and of course the zebra house at the crossroads of Boulter Street and the abandoned railroad tracks. For the past 20 years, Jeannie and Jim Brown and their two sons Cody and Nathan have lived at the “zebra house” and made it their own. It is a quirky and charming historic pioneer house and a veritable animal rescue.

Affectionately known as the "Zebra Lady," Jeannie is as dynamic and interesting as the house she lives in. The zebra house and Jeannie are one of the many charming gems in the city of Draper.

The first thing I asked Brown when I sat down with her was why in the world she had a zebra in her back yard. “I bought him to break to ride, but he never grew!” This was an unexpected answer. It is odd enough to own a zebra, but to acquire a zebra with the intent to domesticate it and ride it took me by surprise. However, the more I talked to Brown, the more I realized that it is not at all surprising for her. Jeannie Brown is a person who is not afraid to try things and clearly loves life. It really shows when you walk past her eccentric house. The front is colorful, ornamented, and full of beautiful flowers and majestic ash trees. In the back is a large animal yard, home to horses, two emus, a menagerie of birds and the beloved zebra named Zuri. Zuri is Swahili and means very handsome. The zebra is very handsome and according to Brown, a bit of a stinker. She explained that he just never grew big enough to support a rider, which is probably why there are tons of zebras in Africa and they have never been very useful for human beings. Their feet are too small 12

Draper Lifestyle | September 2015

to support riders and they just don’t get big enough, like a horse. I asked her why she thought she was the one who would be able to finally ride a zebra and in a blunt, matter-of-fact tone she quickly replied, “Because I can do anything I want. All it takes is time and patience.” Yep, I knew I was going to like this lady a lot.

The zebra is not the only unique denizen at the Brown compound. You can also see her two emus, Fred and Ethel. She acquired these two large birds when they were newborns and said they were a riot to raise up. Originally in the market for an ostrich a few years ago, she settled for the emus when she learned that they were friendlier than cantankerous ostriches.

If you stop by to say hello to Zuri, Fred, or Ethel, make sure to notice Millie the pig in the front of the house or the beautiful peacocks or Ruby, the African Grey Parrot that really talks. The Browns also own a large assortment of chickens including Polish chickens, who have the most hilarious crest of feathers atop their heads, like an unkempt 70s afro after a long night at the disco. In the spring, the Brown’s will sell their excess eggs, but the chickens are getting older and are not as fruitful as they once were. However, by the fall, Jeannie expects the new batch of birds to start producing eggs again.

Originally from New Baltimore, Michigan, Jeannie Brown, an unabashed animal lover, has lived in Draper for many decades. She has been married to Draper native Jim Brown for 18 years and they have two adopted sons, Nathan (16) and Cody (12). She has had the privilege of rescuing a plethora of dogs, cats, horses, llamas, alpacas, chickens, etc. If an animal needs rescue, Brown is always willing to help. The zebra lady attracts animals and people. That is how she became a mom. Her children just came to her through adoption. She never thought she would have children, but even though motherhood has taken her down an unanticipated road, she will unequivocally tell you that her boys have been her greatest blessing.

So the next time you are on the Porter Rockwell Trail by bike or on foot, make sure to stop by and say hello to Zuri, Fred, Ethel and the Brown’s. It is just another reason to love the city of Draper.

HELPFUL BOOKS FOR SCHOOL DAYS

ARTICLE HOLLY NEWTON, CHILDREN'S BOOK REVIEWER

S

chool is back in session and with it comes learning how to deal with new schedules, teachers and other classmates. Here is a list of wonderful new picture books that will help youngsters, ages 5 through 8, have a successful school year.

READY FOR SCHOOL, MURPHY?, by Brendan Murphy, is a helpful book to qualm and calm the jitters of new schoolers. Murphy is anxious about school and gives his dad excuses to stay home. Some excuses include "butterflies in my tummy" and possibly "some kind of bug." But fortunately there's a surprise found at the end to help Murphy begin to feel better. The text is minimal and the colorful pictures include clever foldout pages.

I WILL NEVER GET A STAR ON MRS. BENSON'S BLACKBOARD, by Jennifer K. Mann, showcases young Rosie who desires a star in her class. Her teacher gives stars out for neatness and correct answers but Rosie has yet to receive one. She's a bit disorganized which reflects her desk and sometimes her mind wanders so her answers in class aren't always right. But her creative ingenuity is about to pay off. The colorful illustrations are done in ink, gouache and digital collage. This story emphasizes the importance of our uniqueness and individual abilities.

JUST ITZY, by Lana Krumwiede, and wonderfully illustrated with pencil, India ink, Plaka paint and Photoshop by Greg Pizzoli, is an encouraging tale that involves perseverance and confidence. Itzy is beginning “spindergarten” and has difficulty learning how to catch his lunch. But he keeps his "eye on the fly" and learns to "never give up" so he spins his web in the perfect spot. He even helps out a fellow spider which adds to his great sense of accomplishment. There are delightful onomatopoeia's throughout helping make this a delightful read aloud.

8: AN ANIMAL ALPHABET, by Elisha Cooper, is an oversized book filled with exotic and familiar animals. Each page features animals 14

Draper Lifestyle | September 2015

that begin with the next letter of the alphabet. There are also eight positions of one particular animal on each page which encourages counting along the way. Why eight you ask? It happens to be the author's favorite number. There's also a "Did You Know" section found at the back which pours over information about each animal found in this educational book.

FIRST GRADE DROPOUT, by Audrey Vernick, and painted with watercolor, pen and ink by Matthew Cordell, is funny and teaches us to not be so hard on ourselves. The nameless first grader does something he is so embarrassed about that he decides to drop out of school rather than face his fellow students ever again. It turns out that his embarrassing action wasn't as bad as it seemed as he discovers his friend has had a similar experience.

EVERYTHING I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM A DISNEY LITTLE GOLDEN BOOK, by Diane Muldrow, is filled with encouragement and

hope. With some of the greatest classic animated Disney movies featured in bright color on every page, words of advice help to foster a happier life. For instance, the text reads, "Life isn't always fair, and mean girls and bullies seem to be everywhere. Don't despair. Just keep swimming. Eventually you'll come up into the sunshine." The movies featured include Beauty and the Beast and Up. SAY HELLO!, by Linda Davick, celebrates the importance of being friendly and greeting others, known or unknown, with a smile and a greeting. This brightly illustrated book is simple in both rhyming text and pictures, but the message is packed with punch. It begins with "Say HELLO! It's lots of fun. / And here are ways it can be done."

These include a hug, a handshake and a whisper. The story will surely bring a smile and a willingness to befriend all you meet or greet.

Draper’s Stellar Art Collection How Rockwell's Ichabod Crane Came to Draper Elementary

"Spring Fancies" by Lee Greene Richards

ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY KELLY ERICKSON

A

disheveled, scrawny, 18th century school teacher always keeps a watchful eye on the media center at Draper Elementary School. Housed behind a glass case, Ichabod Crane peers warily over his shoulder at the viewers behind him, ready to pounce on any unruly, recalcitrant children. Ichabod Crane was painted by one of America’s most beloved artists, Norman Rockwell, and has been the property of the school since 1951. Why is an original Norman Rockwell painting hanging in a nondescript public elementary school in the small town of Draper? The answer to that questions goes back almost a century ago.

In the 1920s, the principal of Draper Park School was Reid Beck.

He loved art and enjoyed visiting the Springville Art Exhibit annually. Mr. Beck thought it would be a great idea to start an art collection for his school, and after getting the enthusiastic approval of the 16

Draper Lifestyle | September 2015

faculty and Draper residents, the art collection was born. Several pieces were donated by the community for the nascent collection and then the first official purchase by the school was made in 1928.

The painting was called Spring Fancies, by Lee Greene Richards, a student at the Académie Julian and the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and an art professor at the University of Utah. From that point on, a delegation would go every April to Springville to select a new piece, even through the Great Depression. And each year, the collection got bigger and more diverse. Now, when a person roams the halls of Draper Elementary school, they can see a multitude of mountain landscapes, still lifes, Native American pieces, pioneer paintings and even some post-modern work. There is a great body of work that has evolved from Richards’ beautiful impressionistic spring tree.

An art committee was formed each school year, comprised of ninth graders, who would go to the Springville Art Exhibit and select a piece to be purchased by the student body as a class gift.

It became a prized tradition and it was an honor to be on the committee. In 1951, LaMar Walbeck was chosen as the head of the committee. He was the only student on the committee who was taking art classes and seemed to be a good choice for the job. Walbeck, and several other students, shouldered the responsibility of making the big decision of which "Ichabod Crane"

by Norman Rockwell paintings the student body would vote on to buy for the collection, which by this time had become quite impressive. The adults left it up to the kids to decide. As they perused the offerings available, some of the members were drawn to art that had a correlation with the Korean War, which was now a full-blown conflict. They had a desire to pick something that represented events applicable to their lives at the time. However, a war painting was not appealing to LaMar Walbeck. He insisted that they keep looking. Providence smiled kindly on them. As they continued their search, Walbeck was stunned to see that Rockwell’s painting, Ichabod Crane, was one of the pieces for sale. Unfortunately the price tag was hefty: $1,300. Undaunted, the committee took it upon themselves to request that the curator ask Rockwell himself if he would be willing to lower the price. Mr. Rockwell willingly lowered the price to $800, because students would be buying it. It was still incredibly expensive and would be difficult for them to attain, but they agreed to the price and determined to make it happen.

In 1936, Norman Rockwell was commissioned to illustrate new editions of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The illustrations were successful and he once said, “Years ago I decided to do a series of pictures of the celebrated characters of American fiction. The series was to be published as a book, each picture accompanied by an excerpt from the work in which the character figured. I painted Ichabod Crane and Captain Ahab and then gave up the series, partly because I had lost interest in it and partly because I disliked the idea of a book of excerpts." From Arthur L. Guptill's Norman Rockwell Illustrator.

In "Norman Rockwell’s America" by the Reader’s Digest, it claims that Rockwell was not able to find a buyer for this series of paintings.

Maybe that is why it ended up in Springville, Utah, a few years later.

But there were now buyers for Ichabod Crane; the students from Draper and Arnold Friberg, the famous Mormon artist, well known for his 15 "pre-visualization" paintings for the Cecil B. DeMille film The Ten Commandments. Friberg was hoping to buy the Rockwell painting

and was not happy when he found out he had been undersold by some kids in a small farm town in the Salt Lake valley.

Draper Park School had to rally and work hard to earn the money to buy the painting in less than one month. The committee concocted any and every scheme they could think of to raise $800.

They did bake sales, car washes, babysitting and hosted a gym jamboree at the school, where they sold expensive dinners to patrons.

Many Draper residents also made generous donations to the art fund. In the end, the student body was successful and the painting was theirs. Now, Ichabod Crane is the crown jewel of the Reid and Willda Beck Art Collection. The 1951 ninth grade class is still a tight-knit group who continue to hold reunions quite frequently.

Walbeck believes that unity of spirit can be credited in large part to Rockwell’s Ichabod Crane and the toil it took to acquire it.

In the main office of Draper Elementary, there are three large binders that a visitor can use to guide them through the collection, with artists like Florence Ware, Howell Rosenbaum, Cornelius Salisbury, Henri Moser, Eric Christensen, Al Rounds, Harman Struck, and even LaMar Walbeck, just to name a few.

Yes, Walbeck became a watercolor artist himself after he retired as an accountant in 1983 and still actively paints. Next to Mrs. Haggerty’s first grade class, visitors can enjoy a mountain scene by that ‘happy tree’ guy, Bob Ross. It is worth it to make a visit to the school and see the collection that helped to unify the Draper community, a collection to make any art collector proud.

If you really love Ichabod Crane and would like a print of it for your home, the Draper Visual Arts Foundation sells canvas print replicas of it on their website. Draper Park School obtained exclusive rights from the Norman Rockwell Family Trust to be able to sell the prints and now money from sale of prints benefits the community. DraperVisualArts.org.

As an English teacher at Corner Canyon High School, I have my own set of emotions to attend to as a new school year begins— anxiety about new curriculum, curiosity about new students, anticipation to hear the renewed sound of chatter and laughter in the hallways. But as this year’s school season emerges, the overwhelming feeling I’m experiencing is excitement!

My excitement is based on a reflection of the last quarter of my seniors’ last year of high school. Two years ago, Canyons School District added a Senior Capstone project for all 12th graders, a culmination of their secondary learning experience. The project includes an extensive research paper, along with a series of genres to represent the topic, and a multi-media presentation. I introduced an additional requirement for students to “Live Their Topic,” meaning that they would take action in the real world to make a difference in some way regarding their topic. What I had given was an assignment; what I received in return captivated me and renewed my love of education.

When I introduced this project to my students, the responses went something like this: “We have to do WHAT the last semester of our senior year?” “But we have senioritis!” “This is hardest thing I’ve ever done!” “Why do we have to do this?” While I can’t cover the entire journey of the research, writing and creating process, let me share the results of some of our students that convince me that our community is raising leaders, and that we are in good hands here in our wonderful city of Draper. There were many impressive projects, here are seven.

Magazine article written by senior, Coleman Broman, to teach the benefits of nanotechnology.

COLEMAN BROMAN

I may occasionally brag about my students and have told many that Coleman is going to cure cancer. Because “curing cancer” has become a cliché, the words come across as a joke. But I’m serious! Coleman’s research and understanding of biomedical nanotechnology and using it to revolutionize medical practice, including its essential role in curing what are now incurable diseases, is wholly persuasive. In addition to his effective research paper, Coleman wrote a magazine article on how biomedical nanotechnology can change the world, created a Twitter account to educate followers about nanotechnology, recorded an informative podcast, wrote a poem entitled “Somber” that tells the story of nanotechnology from a nanobot’s point of view, and created diagrams that illustrate the possibilities for nanotechnological delivery systems to transport medications. If you aren’t blown away by this description, you should have seen his presentation—many mouths dropped, including mine.

Parker Ellis and Zack Franckowiak reviewing their final portfolios.

I emphasized the importance of choosing topics students were passionate about, telling them that they would be “married to it” for two months. Zack took this advice and focused on a local issue important to him, his family and his athletic community: sanctioning lacrosse as a high school sport. Zack researched the growth of lacrosse and created products, including a professional brochure illustrating facts and statistics, a Prezi presentation and an informative Pinterest board, to persuade his audience. He administered a school survey and published his results, indicating overwhelming student support for sanctioning lacrosse, and wrote a persuasive letter to the Utah High School Athletic Association with his findings. He plans to meet with the UHSAA to present his entire portfolio in hopes that it will further the process. This fall, Zack is on scholarship to play lacrosse at Rutgers University, but should be applauded for continuing his efforts to effect change for younger players coming up through the high school system in Utah.

CANYON CORNER SENIORS

(CONTINUED)

INNA FINDLAY

Inna’s project taught about devastating current political issues in her homeland of Ukraine. Currently a Draper resident, Inna was adopted only three years ago and still has a strong personal connection to her native country. Inna developed a video with over 300 clips documenting the past and present conflict between Ukraine and Russia. She also painted an original watercolor, symbolically illustrating the conflict, and conducted an audio interview with a Ukrainian friend who shared personal experiences of the turmoil in real time. Inna translated the interview from Russian to English to give us a first-hand view of the tragedy her relatives are experiencing. At the end of her presentation, the student audience was still and emotionally moved—suddenly the other side of the world didn’t seem so far away.

LYDIA LEE

PARKER ELLIS

Parker tackled a growing, alarming issue, particularly among teen drivers—distracted driving. For one of his genres, Parker filmed a unique movie trailer that dramatically demonstrated the dangerous effects of texting and driving. His film received a standing ovation at the end of the presentation. . .now that’s effective rhetoric!

GAIGE KARTCHNER

Gaige brought his topic of sexual assaults on college campuses to a local level by interviewing CCHS police officer, Detective Barnes. Through this interview, which he published publicly on YouTube, he educated us about victim’s rights, the process of making complaints, how to defend yourself, and where to get help at CCHS, making the information relevant and applicable to our own students.

MIKAIL CROW

Mikail lived her topic of Complications of Foreign Aid by seeking out and helping those in poverty in our own community. Mikail bought and assembled 55 bundles of blankets, beef jerky and socks, and rather than delivering them to a homeless shelter, she gathered her friends and handed them personally to people living on the streets. Not only did she give them the welcomed items, but she also interviewed and discussed the issues important to them so that she could educate her classmates using personal experiences, rather than just statistics.

A favorite from the “Live Your Topic” genre, Lydia painted a haunting depiction of human trafficking and entered it into the Corner Canyon Art Show for others to learn and understand the reality of ongoing human slavery, even in the United States. She gave me the painting as a gift (one that I will treasure) and I will continue to forward her thesis by sharing it with future students.

By the end of the project, as students stood up as experts and presented the results of their research, creative products, and actions they were taking to educate and create change, I became the student and they were the teachers. I learned about the environmental impact of solar roadways, the chemical changes pornography addiction creates in the brain, the challenges in combating the organizational structure of ISIS. They amazed me by going above and beyond my expectations, showing passion and dedication to solving real issues.

My excitement for the new school year is based on the desire to see new seniors go through this process and embrace their own topics, taking action to forward their theses and make a difference. I’m excited for them to teach me! I agree with senior Kenz Hall’s reflective statement: “Being educated about a serious issue is the only way to fully understand it.” So to all parents and students in the Draper area: It is demanding and a lot of hard work. It will stretch you. But, it will also create growth, ignite passion and spread learning that will reach beyond the classroom. In short, the Senior Capstone Project is worth it!

Water & Woods

A Bridge for Bear Canyon BUILT BY RALPH WADSWORTH, BRIDGE DIVERTS HIKERS FROM WATERSHED ARTICLE LINNEA LUNDGREN | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

S

uspension bridges have long been part of the world’s mountainous regions and now Draper’s ridges can join that rank. Look eastward on Pioneer Road, continue upwards to the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, and there you’ll see the 185-foot-long bridge over Bear Canyon.

Every day this past spring, long-time Draper resident and structural engineer Ralph Wadsworth drove his green Yamaha Rhino up the steep, temporary construction path to work on this labor of love. And labor it was. He’s built road bridges for decades as founder of Ralph L. Wadsworth Construction, and while this bridge may not be his favorite, the 80-year-old admits, “It’s the one I’ve worked hardest on.”

“He’s amazing,” says his wife Peggy, who has been his companion since 1954. “I can’t believe he’s lived through it all. He loves a challenge, and this truly was one.”

The steep, rocky terrain surrounding Bear Canyon is a risky challenge for hiking or driving, let alone hauling heavy machinery for construction purposes.

“We could only have one piece of equipment on the site,” Ralph says, pointing to a track hoe. “How do you erect something as tall as a bridge with a dinky track hoe? It isn’t easy.” No cranes, concrete mixers, or large drills were taken up the mountainside. Instead, generators, saws, beams, cables, wood and concrete were hauled using pick-up trucks, his Rhino or the track hoe. It’s a remarkable feat, considering the bridge was constructed over an 130-foot-deep canyon.

Durability played a role in the choice of materials because, as Ralph says, “No one will come here to paint it.” Weathered steel and treated lumber from Oregon comprise the simple, but elegantly designed bridge. The clamps are made from highly polished stainless steel, which shines when the sun sets.

Bill Becker of Corner Canyon Trails Foundation, a non-profit which helped support the project, says it was a joyful, surreal experience to see how the Wadsworths and employees completed the bridge and in such a short period of time.

“He was on the offensive,” Becker states. But more importantly Becker was amazed that Ralph was willing to undertake the project and make such a significant contribution to the community. “We don’t envision companies or individuals accepting this kind of challenge and funding much of it, especially someone with such a solid background in bridge construction.”

The reason for the Bear Canyon Trail Bridge is to divert hiker traffic away from the upper canyon, which is a watershed. In 1992 the Wadsworths built a bridge in the upper canyon. “We actually flew that one in with a helicopter,” recalls Ralph’s son Tod, a main player in the construction. The intent was to keep dogs out of the stream, he said, however, dogs couldn’t read the “no dogs” sign posted nor could some humans.

22

Draper Lifestyle | September 2015

Julie Kilgore, who leads Monday night hikes around Corner Canyon, says she is pleased the bridge was built because the city and water companies had considered closing the canyon to hiking due to the dog problem. “It is a reminder to all of us that we have an unusual wilderness interface and we should respect the rules or we will lose access to it.”

Support for the project included Draper City, Sandy City, Corner Canyon Trails Committee, WaterPro, Bonneville Shoreline Coalition, Scott Scharman, Paul Anderson, Paul Skene, R.E.I., Alta View Concrete, In Between Days, Premier Fitness Camp and, most notably, in-kind donations from the Wadsworth family including Ty, Con, Kip, Ralph, Tod, Nic and Wadsworth Construction. Ralph estimates the bridge was built for about $155,000, but he says, “It is worth a lot more than that.”

Others, like Becker, agree. “It will be a landmark for generations to come.”

The Wasatch Mountain Club offers Monday evening hikes throughout Corner Canyon. On September 14, at 6 p.m. a hike will be offered to see the new bridge. Meet at the northeast uppermost level of the Draper TRAX station. Call Julie Kilgore at 801.244.3323 for more details.

COOLSCULPTING

Tech Today

Heats Up the Weightloss Scene

THE HOTTEST NEW NON-INVASIVE FAT-REDUCTION TECHNOLOGY IS OH, SO COOL

S

ARTICLE ASHLEY DICKSON | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

helly Riley has always exercised, but she hasn’t always been at her ideal weight. And about a decade ago, she gained 15-20 unwanted pounds.

“No matter what I was doing, I could not get rid of it,” Riley says. “I was never fat, but I was putting on weight around my midsection—that stuff that starts building up on your stomach and your sides and your back.”

So when Riley was in the middle of a facial at Trilogy Medical Center in Midvale and she heard about CoolSculpting—a non-invasive procedure that targets fat cells—she was intrigued. And after a thorough explanation and consultation from Trilogy’s experts, Riley was sold.

“I literally went from the facial to having my first CoolSculpting treatment right then—I had to call my husband to tell him I couldn’t meet for lunch,” Riley says.

Since then, Riley has lost 20 pounds and credits CoolSculpting as the catalyst for improving her diet and making healthy lifestyle changes. And according to Rhonda Swant, a master esthetician at Trilogy Medical Center, Riley’s experience is one of countless CoolSculpting success stories.

“We’re all dreamers—we all want to be skinny yesterday without dieting or exercise,” Swant says.

“CoolSculpting takes people from treatment to transformation. It’s changed people’s lives.”

Sound too good to be true? Check out the cool science that backs the CoolSculpting claims: The idea that cold can selectively affect fat led to an innovative

cooling process developed by scientists at Boston’s Massachusetts General Hospital. The CoolSculpting technology delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently target fat cells underneath the skin. The treated fat cells are crystallized—or frozen—and they die. Over time, the body processes the fat and eliminates the dead fat cells. What’s left behind? A more sculpted you.

“Let’s say you’re planning to go on a vacation and you have some bulging creeping up on your saddle bags, or maybe your belly is starting to poke out,” Swant says. “Most patients see a noticeable reduction after just one treatment. And many patients do a second treatment in the same area to get that ‘wow’ factor."

And considering the big results, you might expect a serious procedure. But CoolSculpting is simple and stress-free. The device is positioned on your body, the controlled cooling is applied, and you’re free to read, check your email, watch a movie, or take a nap.

And as if CoolSculpting didn’t sound hot enough already, the procedure is FDA cleared and carries none of the side effects or recovery times associated with typical fat-reduction surgeries.

“It is new, and people don’t know much about it,” Swant says. “But what Botox has done for wrinkles, CoolSculpting is going to do for fat. This is something people can safely do for a lifetime. And with over two million treatments performed worldwide, CoolSculpting is the most popular non-invasive fat removal treatment on the market.”

Parting Thoughts

Common Scents WORDS COLLEEN DOWN

I

t was the last speech of the commencement exercises, the obligatory talk given by an unknown member of the school board. The graduates were fidgety waiting for their diplomas and freedom. The audience was watching the clock for the event to be over and celebration dinners to begin. It was the talk where the majority of those in attendance were now on Facebook or texting on their cell phones. Somewhere, in my peripheral hearing, I heard the speaker recant her love of the first day of school and the smell of a new box of pencils and the flood of good memories that still rushed over her when she smelled new pencils. Looking over the group of extremely diverse students, the majority who had graduated against tremendous odds, I thought to myself, “Well they may have been sniffing something back in September, but I am pretty sure it wasn’t pencils.” And, I remembered the first rule of public speaking, “Know your audience.” Still, her words lodged themselves in my brain and I occasionally think of them when a smell transports me back across the years to my “first days of school.”

Smell is the most magical of memory makers. The nose, it seems, never forgets. All the summer days of childhood are contained in a smell of new cut grass and summer thunderstorms. The aroma of fresh baked bread can comfort us. Memories of grandparents rush over us when we enter damp cellars filled with bottles of fruit. Conversely, the angst of adolescents is carefully preserved generation after generation in the odor of a gym locker room. Buried creativity can be reawakened with a whiff of tempera paint or a new box of Crayola Crayons. The smell of sawdust takes you back to stern warnings of severed appendages in shop class or catch a whiff of formaldehyde and a dead frog appears before your eyes.

So if the halls of old Draper Park School still elicit so many memories for the citizens of Draper, what smells today will flood the minds of those walking the halls of the new Corner Canyon high. Will students of today reading Harper Lee’s Night Watchman on their Kindle be transported back to junior English the way we are when we open To Kill a Mockingbird in a musty, used book store? Probably not, but maybe the odor of new carpet and wet paint will stir a memory someday that will bring back memories of being one of the first students in the new Draper Park Middle School. The smell of Styrofoam will someday bring a smile to a Millennial face as they remember the first laptop they received for graduation before heading off to college.

While we smile or wince when we catch a whiff of yesterday, the most important thing is we head back to school so we can move forward into the future. The smell of new athletic shoes and backpacks, dry erase markers and boxes of Papa John’s pizza after a foot ball game will bury themselves in the minds of today’s students. As budding artists open new tubes of paint and aspiring musicians practice late into the night in garages where the subtle fumes of gas from the lawnmower permeate the air, memories are being stored. And hopefully, whether they are homemade or Otis Spunkmeyer from Costco, the waft of warm chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven will remind a new generation—that at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, it’s always nice to come back home.
