Youth City Council S

antaquin’s newly formed Youth City Council has been working hard to help make city events, like Santaquin Orchard Days, a success. The Youth City Council is made up of junior high and high school students. There are currently 8 youth council members. Youth City Council Mayor is Emme McDowell. Mayor Pro Tem is Jaden Wickman and Brook Hales is serving as Secretary. Since March, the Youth City Council meets on the 2nd Thursday of each month to discuss upcoming events, budget items, and ways they can help strengthen the Santaquin community. Youth City Council Advisor Suzy McDowell said the group was formed because Santaquin is a fast-growing community and so many of the youth want to be involved and find ways to serve.

“They are the future of Santaquin. They have different ideas and hear different things. They really want to make their mark on the city and make it meaningful,” McDowell said. Each Youth City Council Member is assigned to a different department of the city, such as police or recreation. They spearhead with that director anything that is happening in that area. Some of the activities they are involved with include the Mayor’s Recognition Award, Easter Egg Hunt, maintaining planter boxes on Main Street, and the Police Department Bike Rodeo. Another thing they are working on is designing a new city flag. McDowell says serving on the Youth City Council helps teach youth how the city runs and getting to know city employees can be really eye-opening for the kids. “The more involved they are, the better citizens they’ll become,” she said. The Youth City Council is currently accepting new members. For more information, contact Councilwoman Betsy Montoya at bmontoya@santaquin.org or Suzy McDowell at 801-754-1905 or smcdowell@santaqiun.org.

He went to college at the University of Utah and received a degree in Metallurgical Engineering. While there, he entered the ROTC program and served in the Army for 6 years attaining the rank of Captain. During his military service, he was stationed in Germany where he met and married Helen. Helen was working as a Dept. of the Army recreation director. She is from NYC (Queens) and has a double degree in Anthropology and Sociology from Queens College, City University of New York. Upon returning to the U.S., Jake wanted to settle in Santaquin and Helen,who had always loved horses and could never have one in NYC, had no objections. They moved here together in 1968. Jake went to work as a metallurgist for Kennecott Copper at the Burgin mine in Eureka and worked there until 1970 when his father passed away. He then took over the family-owned business, the Santaquin Calcite Co., which was founded by his dad in 1937. He and Helen ran the company until their retirement in 2006. They belonged to the Santaquin Chamber of Commerce from its inception until the sale of the business. He sold it to his brother, thus the company is still in the family.

History of Santaquin S

antaquin is located in Utah County about 70 miles south of Salt Lake City in a picturesque and beautiful site, with a view of Utah Lake and Mount Timpanogos to the north. Originally called Summit City because of its location at the summit dividing line between the Utah and Juab valleys, it was settled in late 1851 by pioneers who were helping settle Payson, a town located about six miles to the north. Abundant water, plenty of fertile land for farming, and abundant groves of trees for firewood, fence posts, and cabin logs made this an ideal place for a community. A friendship developed between local Indian chief Guffich and Benjamin F. Johnson, leader of the original pioneers, which enabled the whites to settle peacefully in the area. By 1853 the settlement had grown sufficiently to become known as Summit Creek Precinct No. 7. Soon after, however, the Walker War broke out, and the settlers were forced to move for safety to Payson, where they remained until 1855. Around this time a fort was built according to plans furnished by architect Truman O. Angell. After its completion, the settlers moved back to the town in the spring of 1856. One night soon after resettlement Chief Guffich came secretly to warn Johnson of an impending raid by young braves, including his son Santaquin. The settlers quickly left, and when the raiders found the fort deserted Chief Guffich explained to them that the white men were good people and that the Great Spirit had warned them of the attack. It was claimed that from that day peace was made between the local Indians and the Mormon pioneers. It was decided to name the town after

Services:

Guffich, but he declined the honor and asked that the settlement be named “Santaquin” for his son. A rock schoolhouse was built in the fort in 1856. It was stoutly built and served the public for many years. It was still being used into the 1980s. It was not until 1896 that the first local church building was constructed, religious meetings having been conducted in the school building, which now serves as a senior citizens’ center and a veterans’ memorial hall. In addition to farming, early industries included sawmills, a flour mill, a molasses mill and a furniture shop. A silk industry was started with the planting of mulberry trees, some of which still remain in the city. Horse and buggy were the only means of transportation available until 1875, at which time the Utah Southern Railroad completed a line to Santaquin. About that time, rich ore was discovered in the Tintic area. Several mines were discovered on Santaquin ridge, or Dry Mountain, with some copper, lead, silver, and zinc being mined; the Union Chief mine was the most prosperous. With the construction of the steel plant at Geneva and the rapid growth in the Provo-Orem area to the north, many fruit farmers relocated to the Santaquin area. Large orchards were planted, replacing wheat fields and pasture land. The construction of huge cold storage facilities for the fruit created many jobs in the community. Another boast to the economy and population came in 1968 with the completion of Interstate 15 through the town. (Source: Myron V. Olson, compiler, “Give Me This Mountain, A History of the Santaquin Utah Stake,” 1984.)

In Memorium: Jeff Carter O

n February 6, 2019 the city of Santaquin lost a true hero, Jeff Carter. Jeff was born October 8, 1955 to Bill and Jeanine Carter. He attended Payson High School where he graduated in 1973. On graduation night, he met the love of his life, Pat Anderson, and 2 years later they were married in the Manti Temple. Together they had 5 children, Michelle (Todd) Sperry, Chad (Jessica) Carter, Emily (Keaton) Smith and Justin (Aspen) Carter, and one angel baby, Kimberly. His 7 grandchildren were his pride and joy! Madison and Braiden Mendenhall, Kinsley, Mayley and Kale Smith, and Lexi and Gavin Carter each had a special bond with him and he was their biggest fan, never missing a ball game or dance competition and he truly loved every minute of it! After Jeff and Pat’s children were grown, and Jeff had lived in Payson for over 52 years, they decided it was time to follow their children’s example and move to Santaquin. In 2009 they officially became residents of Santaquin and absolutely loved it. Jeff was employed by Nebo School District for 30 years and had been the Maintenance Supervisor for the past 11 years. He was surrounded by lifelong friends and was continually making new friends everywhere he went. He had an infectious smile and everyone that he came in contact with knew that he genuinely cared about them. Jeff loved anything to do with the outdoors, he loved gardening

The Carter Family and took great pride in his yard. He looked forward to his annual spring shed hunts with his family. His most memorable hunt was his desert bighorn sheep hunt when he was surrounded by family and friends. He loved camping, fishing. boating, and especially loved going to Lake Powell every year with his family. Jeff was a firefighter for Payson and Santaquin for a total of 21 years. He loved helping anyone in need and being able to serve our beautiful city of Santaquin. Thank you for your service Jeff, You will truly be missed!

RODEO EVENTS BAREBACK RIDING— SPONSORED BY ZIONS BANK

Bareback riding is one of the most physically demanding events in rodeo. A bareback rider sits directly on a buckin horse with only his own “riggin’” to hang on to. As the horse comes out of the chute, the cowboy’s feet must be above the break of the horse’s shoulders. He holds his feet up at least through the horse’s first move, usually a jump, then spurs the horse on each jump, matching the horse’s rhythm and showing control rather than flopping around. He may not touch the horse, his equipment or himself with his free hand. If the ride lasts eight seconds, two judges award up to 25 points each for the cowboy’s “exposure” to the strength of the horse and his spurring technique and up to 25 points each for the horse’s bucking strength and moves.

TIE-DOWN ROPING— SPONSORED BY CENTRAL UTAH SHEET METAL Calf Roping, or Tie-Down Roping, is an authentic ranch chore and the oldest of rodeo’s timed events. To start this sprinting event, the tie-down roper and his horse back into the box; the cowboy carries a rope in one hand and a “piggin’ string” in his mouth. When the cowboy nods, the chute opens and the calf gets a head start. The cowboy throws a loop over its head; his horse stops and pulls the rope taut while the cowboy jumps off, dashes down the rope, lays the calf on the ground and uses the piggin’ string to tie any three of its legs together. Then he lifts his hands to show he is finished, and the field flag judge drops a flag to stop the clock. The horse is trained to keep the rope taut until the cowboy remounts and moves the horse toward the calf, giving the rope slack. If the calf’s legs stay tied correctly for six seconds, it’s a qualified run and the time stands.

BREAKAWAY ROPING— SPONSORED BY MOUNTAIN VIEW HOSPITAL

Breakaway roping is a variation of calf roping where a calf is roped, but not thrown and tied. A light rope is fastened from the chute to the calf’s neck, releasing once the calf is well away from the chute and releasing the barrier, which is used to ensure that the calf gets a head start. Once the barrier has released, the horse runs out of the box while the roper attempts to throw a lasso around the neck of the calf. Once the rope is around the calf’s neck, the roper signals the horse to stop suddenly. The rope is tied to the saddle horn with a string. When the calf hits the end of the rope, the rope is pulled tight and the string breaks. The breaking of the string marks the end of the run. The fastest run wins.

SADDLE BRONC RIDING— SPONSORED BY NIELSEN & SENIOR

In rodeo’s classic event, the saddle bronc rider sits on a specialized saddle – it has no horn, and the stirrups are set forward. In the chute, the cowboy adjusts his grip on the rein and perhaps the horse’s position. When the gate opens, his boots must be above the breaks of the horse’s shoulders. After the horse’s first move, usually a jump, the cowboy begins spurring in long, smooth strokes in sync with the horse’s jumps – legs straight when the bronc comes down, toward the back of the saddle at the top of the jump. His only handhold is a six-foot braided rope; his free hand may not touch his equipment, his body or the horse. If the ride lasts the required eight seconds, it is scored by two judges – one on each side – who assess difficulty and control. Each judge awards up to 25 points for the cowboy’s performance and up to 25 points for the animal’s performance, for a potential of 100 points.

STEER WRESTLING— SPONSORED BY BLUE FLAME PROPANE

Steer wrestling demands coordination between two mounted cowboys – the contestant and a hazer who controls the steer’s direction – and their horses. The cowboys back their horses into the box on each side of the steer. When the contestant nods, the chute gate opens and the steer gets a head start before the cowboys start to chase him. As the steer wrestler draws even, he dismounts from his horse, which is moving at perhaps 30 miles an hour. He grasps the steer’s horns and digs his boot heels into the dirt to slow down the 500- to 600-pound steer. Then he wrestles the steer onto its side; when all four legs point in the same direction, the clock stops. Times vary widely depending on the size of the arena.

TEAM ROPING— SPONSORED BY BENNETT PAVING

Team roping is the only team event in rodeo. This event also originated from ranch chores. Team ropers work as partners: one header and one heeler who move in precise coordination. They and their horses start in the “box.” When the header nods, the chute gate opens and the steer gets a head start. The header throws the first loop, which must catch the steer’s head or horns, protected by a horn wrap. Then the header dallies – wraps his rope around his saddle horn – and moves his horse to pull the rope taut, changing the direction of the steer. That gives the heeler the opportunity to catch both of the steer’s hind legs with his own rope. Most heelers try to time their throws to catch the legs when they are in the air. After the catch, the heeler also dallies to stop the steer. When the ropes are taut and both horses face the steer, the time is recorded. Times vary widely depending on the size of the arena.

BARREL RACING— SPONSORED BY IHC

Barrel racing is just that – a race against time in a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels set up in the arena. A rider can choose to begin the cloverleaf pattern to the right or left. The time begins when the horse and rider cross the predetermined start line and stops when they come back across the same line. Each run is timed to the hundredths of a second, making every fraction of a second count. (Starting in 2012, Canadian rodeos now time to the thousandth of a second.) Each tipped-over barrel adds a five-second penalty to the time. Although barrel racing is an event common to many professional rodeos, it is administered by a separate organization, the Women’s Professional Rodeo Association.

BULL RIDING— SPONSORED BY MARTIN’S COLLISION REPAIR

Bull riding is rodeo’s most dangerous event. In the chute, the bull rider settles on the bull’s back, wraps his braided rope around the bull’s girth, then loops the rope around his hand and back into his palm so he can grip it tightly. When he nods, the gate is opened and the bull lunges out of the chute. Spurring is optional – the primary goal for the cowboy is to stay on for eight seconds without touching himself, his equipment or the bull with his free hand. The cowboy will be scored highly for staying in the middle of the bull and in full control of the ride. If the ride lasts the required eight seconds, it is scored by two judges who assess difficulty (the bull’s spinning, jumping and kicking, lunging, rearing and dropping, and side-to-side motion) as well as the cowboy’s degree of control. Each judge awards up to 25 points for the cowboy’s performance and up to 25 points for the animal’s performance, for a potential of 100 points.

Volunteer of the Month S

antaquin has kicked off a new program in 2019 called “Volunteer of the Month”. With all the wonderful volunteers in the community, city officials want to recognize them and their efforts. A small committee works together to learn about the volunteers and submit names to the Mayor for consideration. Those selected to be honored are presented to the pubic at a City Council meeting. They are awarded a certificate and gift basket that evening. January 2019 Volunteer: Mandi Southwick During the early part of our fire situation in 2018, Mandi volunteered to coordinate, collect, and deliver all the supplies that were being donated for the firefighters. She collected the items at her home, away from the fire command center, which eased the growing responsibilities of our firefighting team. She stayed active on social media to inform the residents where supplies could be delivered. She worked with our city's PIO officer to keep the right kind of supplies coming in and then delivered the supplies directly to where they were needed. Her volunteer efforts greatly benefited our community during a very stressful time. February 2019 Volunteer: Manny Escoto Manny’s volunteer efforts involve hosting classes to help our Hispanic community acquire their driving privilege cards. He teaches the students some English and then reads the questions to them when taking the test. He has helped a lot of our own community members in this way during the past year. He started serving the Hispanic communities shortly after graduating from the Utah Police Academy in 1996 and has continued this type of volunteer service in each community he has been employed as a police officer. He is a big advocate for helping the community and always treats everyone with dignity, respect and kindness. March 2019 Volunteer: Shane Waters Shane is a member of our Miss Santaquin Committee. He selflessly gives hundreds of hours throughout the year to the committee with the help and support of his family. For the past five years, he has made all of the Miss Santaquin Pageant backdrops for the stage and has constructed all of the parade floats for the royalty. The Pageant group feels fortunate to have him on the Miss Santaquin Committee and to be the beneficiaries of his beautiful designs and creativity that he magically pulls together on a limited budget. Shane is an exceptional person and valuable volunteer of our community. April 2019 Volunteer: Jammie Weight Jammie’s passion to serve others has influenced a great number of Santaquin’s school-aged children. She was the PTA president this past year of both Santaquin Elementary and Payson Junior High. She represented the PTA on the School Community Council as well. Jammie provided computer clickers for the teachers, which was needed and so appreciated. Jammie is also a Young Women’s president in our community. She always has a smile on her face and a cheerful attitude for everyone. The happiness she helps create with the youth translates into a happier home life when the kids get home, having a greater reaching effect than she even realizes. Jammie’s volunteer efforts are greatly appreciated. May 2019 Volunteer: Joshua Nielsen Josh coaches every sport possible for the recreation department and then asks if he can do anything more to help out. He serves on our recreation board as well. Josh serves as a scout leader for our community and goes on monthly camp-outs with the scouts. His troop is often the first one people call when they need a scout group in the city to raise a flag for Orchard Days or to walk in the parade. He serves on the board for the Payson & Santaquin Area Chamber of Commerce. He has taught the advanced chess club at the elementary school and has helped with that program for many years. He is at most school activities helping where he can. He is such a great role model to young men on how dads can be involved with their kids. He has an amazing attitude about volunteering and is an overall amazing person.

Volunteers & Photo Contest June 2019 Volunteer: Hannah Tervort Hannah is an awesome volunteer for Santaquin. She volunteers to run the Miss Santaquin program each year and has done so for the past six years. This takes a lot of time and is a year-long project that she does with a smile. She works so hard with the young women who try out and those who win. On top of running the pageant, she coordinates the bounce houses for our Orchard Days Family Night. The time and energy she puts in for Miss Santaquin is commendable. She resides in Nephi but continues to volunteer in Santaquin. Thank you Hannah! July 2019 Volunteer: Cori Krukiewicz Cori has headed up the Little Miss Orchard Days pageants for the past several years. She organizes all aspects of the pageant and mentors the girls through all pageant preparation, service projects, and parent information night. She makes sure that each contestant feels like a winner, even if they don't go home with a title. When the pageant is over, she organizes the winners and coordinates with the Orchard Days Rodeo for the ride-through on rodeo night, in addition to organizing the pageant winner parade entry during Orchard Days. Her countless hours of unpaid service are a stressful joy in her life. Cori is a wife and mom of 3 busy kids and in her spare time serves as a volunteer EMT and lieutenant for the Santaquin Fire Dept.

“What Do You Love About Santaquin?” Photo Contest The “What Do You Love About Santaquin?” Photo Contest is in its fifth year. Starting in 2015, Santaquin officials launched the contest to highlight what residents love about their city. A volunteer committee reviews each month’s submissions and anonymously vote for their favorite image. On average, eight photos are submitted each month but some months have generated up to sixteen images. As of the beginning of 2019, almost 400 images have been submitted showcasing our beautiful city. Monthly winners receive a $50 prize and their winning image is shared on social media, in the city newsletter, and on the city website. The overall winner for each year wins a $500 gift basket filled with local business goods and gift cards. Residents of Santaquin are encouraged to participate in this rewarding contest. For full contest rules, please visit www.santaquin.org.
