ELEMENTARY SCHOOL ART SHOW showcases talent
By Keyra Kristoffersen | keyrak@mycityjournals.com
E
lementary students from across the Salt Lake valley had the opportunity to showcase their art at the 2017 Junior Art Show held at the Shops at South Town March 22-29. Students from first- to sixth-grade were invited to participate. “It’s just fun to see their creativity and what they come up with. Some of those kids are really talented. The kids love coming and seeing their artwork up on display. They think it’s super cool,” said Molly Morgan, the events coordinator for Sandy City. The art show began with Sandy’s Canyons School District, but invitations opened up to neighboring private and charter schools as well, much to their excitement. More than 15 elementary schools from Canyons School District participated, as well as five local charter and private schools. “Everyone in the district is invited and then they decide if they want to participate or not. We get 10 pieces from each classroom and hang them around the Shops at South Town. Last year, we had over 1,000 pieces. It’s a big thing,” said Morgan. “There are some from the arts guild who come and they love judging and going through the kid’s art.” A huge effort by member of Sandy City and volunteers are put forth for sorting and hanging art, as well as take down and working with the shops and schools. Bulletin boards were placed around the upper story of the Shops at South Town for student’s artwork to be displayed by grade and class for people to view during the week leading up to the award ceremony on the March 24. “I’m proud to be on the board of a city that so actively supports the arts in their community and that has such selfless volunteers that take time out of their busy schedules to support the arts in their community,” said Joseph Thompson, vice president on the executive board of the Sandy Arts Guild. “It humbles me to be a part of this organization.” An orchestra comprised of students from Silver Mesa and Crescent Elementary schools,

led by teacher June Christiansen, performed during the award ceremony. Then cast members of the Sandy Arts Guild youth theater production of the “The Lion King Jr.” performed a teaser of “I Just Can’t Wait to be King” in preparation for the show running through April. “It’s so much fun to see all these elementary school-aged children doing such creative works in different mediums,” said Thompson. “I have a hard enough time with a stick figure and pencil. We have kids working with art paper and coloring pencils to wood and aluminum to paints and chalks. Elementary school kids! What talent. A huge shout out goes to the kid’s parents and teachers that support them as well.” Teacher, parents and students like Ziyang Tian, a third-grader from Quail Hollow Elementary whose art show piece won second place in his grade, were present to cheer on

the children and as their art was displayed for passersby. Winners were called up by grade to show off their piece and receive their T-shirt prize. Melissa McArthur, who had two of her children’s art featured in the art show, her first-grader taking second place and the thirdgrader’s work featured on the boards, was grateful for the opportunity her children have to be part of the program and learn more about art. “We are really lucky to have such a good art teacher at American Prep. We are glad that they both love art and they’ve got a good teacher and we hope they continue,” said McArthur. “I like that the city features the opportunity. I think they feel really proud when they’re able to be a part of it and something definitely to continue. It’s a good program.” Winning art pieces were displayed the
Sandy Library for several weeks throughout April before being returned to the students and teachers.

n March 23, the Sandy Expo Center hosted a job fair for veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserves. Ninety vendors from across the Wasatch Front were provided a free space through various veterans services and the Utah Department of Workforce Services to help provide employment and life opportunities to service members. Marlene Mayl said farewell to the Air Force on Sept. 1, 2016 after 24 years of service and has been trying to find her niche ever since. Mayl left Virginia and currently works at the US Department of Veterans Affairs in Salt Lake City while working to finish her degree in business management with an emphasis in human resources. She is looking to get her foot in the door. “I would love to work in a healthcare setting in human resources. I think I’ve talked to some very good potentials. I think they’ve done an excellent job of advertising the job fair. This has been excellent,” said Mayl. “The hardest thing about transitioning out of the military has been the money, it’s been a big pay cut.” Some companies have been facing difficulties in the current economy but have found ways to still help veterans find employment. “We have a hiring freeze right now, but we have a few exceptions so we’re allowed to hire maintainers for aircraft. There are 13 occupations that we have a really high demand for and critical shortages and that’s why we’re here today, to gather resumes from veterans and try to assist them in finding a civilian job or, in some cases, in the private sector because anyone who has sacrificed and served, that is our ideal candidate,” said Joyce Peters of Hill Air Force Base. “These are our favorite candidates. There are all kinds of talent here and we’re going to try to connect with it. You don’t just stop repairing aircraft.” In 2011, the Utah Patriot Partnership program was created to incentivize companies to hire veterans and members of the National Guard and Reserve first in order to assist them to find employment that best met their previous skills, training and education from the military. The program distinguishes employers as a Utah Patriot Partner through the governor’s office and Department of Workforce Services as well as helping to match them with veteran job candidates. They understand the sacrifices these men and women make,”
Marlene Mayl, newly retired after 24 years in the Air Force looks to find her new career in human resources. (Keyra Kristoffersen/City Journals)
said Mark Harrison, program support specialist of the National Guard Employment Support Program. “We try to get a diverse group of employers and not just entry-level positions. They’re willing to work knowing that some of our guys and gals come back with some difficulties. They want to see them succeed and get back on their feet.” “Veterans can do so much more and that kind of culture, that kind of environment can always grow, but that’s one of those talent groups that it takes a veteran to realize the value of the veteran, to be able to decipher the background, decipher the knowledge and the mentality of the mission first mindset that we always need,” said Chris Dominguez of Vivant, a smart home and security services provider throughout the United States and Canada. Some companies create in-house programs and internships to help train former members of the military how to best present themselves to potential employers. “We help them with the transitioning from the military to the civilian type of jobs. We look at their skills and qualifications and try to find where they would be a good fit. We provide them with a lot of networking opportunities and push them to do a lot of interviews. We help them with their resume, their interviewing skills, their 30-second commercial so they can introduce themselves. Within the three months, our job, my goal is to help them find a full-time job, and the program has been very successful,” said Margarita Angelo who works with the Military Internship Program for Zions Bank. The internship program began over five years ago with groups of 10 interns, held twice a year in April and September. Due to budget cuts, the number of veteran interns had to drop down to five but with the extension of the program to the corporation, they are hoping to return to 10 spots this April. Dezaray Allred, who served in the Army National Guard for eight years, was one of the first interns and has now been with Zions Bank for five years. Her resume and ability to sell her skills to interviewers was one of the skills she felt she needed the most help with and got it. “I loved it. It was a fantastic program,” said Allred. “It really helps military personnel to transition.” The next veterans job fair will be held May 10 at the Davis Conference Center in Layton. l

Preventing teen sexual violence in Utah By Keyra Kristoffersen | keyrak@mycityjournals.com
R
ape is the only violent crime that occurs in Utah at a higher rate than the rest of the United States though it remains largely under reported, according to the Utah Department of Health. Based on statistics gathered between 2006 to 2015, which have remained mostly unchanged over those years, one in three Utah women will experience some form of sexual violence, one in eight Utah women will be raped, and one in 50 Utah men will be raped in their lifetime. Utah is ranked ninth in the nation for rapes reported, but the numbers for unreported rapes are estimated to be extremely high, especially the instances that happen among teens and on college campuses. “We all, but teens especially, receive information about what a relationship looks like from parents, peers, and media and all too often what they see is that violence means love,” said Cielle Smith, an associate clinical mental health counselor for Aspen Ridge Counseling Center, a mental health counseling center with six locations in the Salt Lake valley and Tooele. Smith presented information about rape and sexual violence geared especially for teens and their parents at the Sandy Library on April 14. Rape culture and its prevalence in society contribute to this problem among the population, according to Smith. “When I’m talking about rape culture, I’m talking about how, as a society, we engage in this practice together and it is tolerating, normalizing and accepting sexual violence and assault, gender violence, all kinds of violence that falls under the definition of sexual assault. Trivializing sexual assault, when we say ‘Boys will be boys’, or bra-snapping, or pulling someone’s pants down,” said
Smith. “Tolerating sexual harassment in the workplace. Obviously, it’s a problem.” One of the biggest proponents of rape culture is victim blaming, said Smith, because it inhibits victims from wanting to come forward and report crimes due to the shame involved, from the feeling that society will blame the victim for getting hurt. “How you were dressed, what you were drinking, what time of night it was, and none of the responsibility is placed on who it should be placed on, which is the person who perpetrated the crime,” said Smith. “That’s exactly what it is, a crime. Are there any other crimes that we blame victims for? We don’t blame people who are walking down the street with their wallet in their pocket and they get robbed. We don’t blame them for having their wallet on them. We don’t blame people who get hit by a car on the sidewalk for getting hit because it’s not their fault. If your house is broken into and you’ve locked the doors, we don’t blame homeowners for having their house broken into. But for some reason, one of the only crimes that we blame victims for is rape, sexual assault and domestic violence.” This difficulty reporting due to shame is compounded by the fact that nationally, eight in 10 victims know their attacker, which means that the chance of reporting crimes is significantly lower. “It’s usually because the perpetrator is very crafty and good at manipulating and building a case around ‘the victim is crazy’. They’ve already built their case before the action takes place, so they’ve created a support system,” said one attendee, Coryn Carver. “We’re very shame based here and so the victims think it’s their fault.” Smith urged attendees to fight against rape culture, educate

themselves about what consent looks like and what it is not, and how to watch for risk factors like relationship and dating violence. Carolyn Clyne volunteered at the Rape Recovery Center in the 1990s when she first came to Utah to get in-state experience following her degree in sociology. “I worked there to get experience and ended up being one of the only ones who would work with LGBTQ victims of assault at the time. I was gobsmacked when I got here at the lack of basic education like anatomy in Utah,” said Clyne. Smith also discussed the many resources available for victims and the need for more people to get involved, because of how important it is to support victims.

“IN PAIN?... Tried Meds?... Injections?... Contemplated or Even Had Spinal Surgery?... AND STILL HAVE PAIN?” The Controversial Truth and How One Salt Lake Doctor’s Solution May be the Only Way Out of Pain for Some Dear friendFor the 15 years that I’ve been in practice, I’ve been somewhat known as “the guy that sends out those flyers with his kids on them”. However, that’s only a part of the story. You see, new information and technology has come forward that has helped so many people eliminate spinal pain without taking pills, shots, and surgery. Let Me First Point Out that in many cases, medicine, shots, and operations are necessary for proper health and recovery. I’m grateful that this stuff exists. However, in my 15 years of practice, I’ve seen thousands of patients who are regularly getting meds, injections, and even operations that they didn’t need, and who are still in ridiculous pain...it’s tragic...NO WONDER that person is frustrated and skeptical that anything will help. I WOULD BE TOO!!! The problem is that with many doctors, if health insurance doesn’t cover a procedure, it’s almost as if it doesn’t exist! The reality is that the “accepted” treatment for spinal conditions is as follows: medication, physical therapy, steroid injections (pain management) and then surgery. Period. No matter how effective anything else may be. BUT... The Real Truth is that other effective scientifically based solutions do exist. In fact, over the past couple years we have used an innovative approach of combining Deep Tissue Laser (a Class IV device) and spinal decompression. The Laser beam penetrates
about 3-5 inches into the human body. Injured cells respond with an increase in energy and blood supply to injured areas (like Spinal Stenosis and discs) And it stimulates healing in stagnant decaying areas (like arthritic joints). Also, the Deep Tissue Laser stimulates the production of new healthy cells. Spinal Disc Decompression Therapy is performed on a computerized table that allows separation of vertebral segments. The “pull” is very gentle and specifically directed to the compromised regions. Vertebral segments are separated approximately 3-5 millimeters creating a negative pressure between the vertebrae. Disc bulges or herniations can resorb back and dehydrated (narrowed) discs can be rehydrated or thickened. Typical treatment protocol is 20 to 25 office visits, but most patients start feeling better by visit 4. A study performed by Thomas A. Gionis, MD and Eric Groteke, DC. showed an amazing success rate of 86 to 94%! Most of the cases used in the study were disc herniations with or without spinal degeneration. These success rates are consistent with my personal treatment of thousands of similar cases.

Council approves water bond in split vote By Kelly Cannon | kelly@mycityjournals.com
T
he Sandy City Council approved a water bond in a split vote during the March 28 meeting. The $7.2 million bond will fund the replacement of water tanks and a well. The vote passed with Councilwoman Maren Barker and Councilman Scott Cowdell voting against. Councilman Stephen Smith said the reason he made a request to go out to bond at the time was because interest rates are scheduled to rise and he wanted the city to capture a lower interest rate. Councilman Chris McCandless agreed with Smith, saying the state is doing the same thing with their bonds. “One of the reasons the state moved their $400 billion up this year is because interest rates are rising and are scheduled to rise this year twice more, maybe three times more,” McCandless said. “One of the reasons I like this bond I’d just as soon get the money as quick as we can.” The plan is to use the money to replace the two existing two-million gallon tanks with a new five-million gallon tank at Flat Iron Park. The existing tanks are nearly 50 years old, do not meet the current seismic structural design criteria and are in need of repair. The proposed well would replace a 30-year-old well located northwest of Flat Iron Park that was abandoned due to sanding. The well will also help replace five historic well sources in other areas of the city that are no longer used for drinking water due to groundwater contamination. The proposed tank is currently under design and, pending final budget approval and bonding, the construction of the tank will begin in the fall and should be completed by 2020. Barker spoke against the bond because she believed if the city put in the well and water tank 30 years ago, they should have had a plan in place to fund its replacement instead of
putting the burden of cost on the city. “I feel that it’s the city’s failure. We didn’t plan. The city didn’t plan for 30 years to replace these when we knew they would need to be replaced at some point,” Barker said. “I struggle to vote for a bond, asking the residents for more money when last year, we voted for a one-acre park that cost $4 million and it’s going to cost around $200,000 to operate annually. We’re okay with building parks and operating parks with their money. How are we possibly not using that money to take care of what we use to operate the city? That’s why I cannot vote for this.” Smith said that while he does share some of the same concerns as Barker, the city did create the need for the bond right now. “It was either a property tax increase a few years ago or it’s bonding now and paying the interest costs in lieu of the property tax increase,” Smith said. “I don’t want to fault the city for not planning, at least not the operators of the water fund and the public utilities department because they have, for a number of years, grown their fund balance to the point where they could have paid for this out of pocket. But this council deprived them of that opportunity a number of years ago and placed ourselves in this situation. It’s not entirely their fault.” Scott Cowdell asked about how much residents could expect their water rates to increase. Smith said it was unknown at the time. Cowdell was uncomfortable with that. “I’m going to have a hard time voting for it until I know exactly how much,” Cowdell said. The next step is to hold a public hearing on April 18 to receive input from the public about the bond issuance. l

T
he Sandy City Council honored Community Development Director Mike Coulam during their March 28 meeting to recognize his retirement after 35 years. Councilman Stephen Smith explained Coulam started his planning career in 1977 for Salt Lake County by assisting in their planning commission. He then worked as a transportation planner for the Wasatch Regional Council. Then in 1979, he was hired to be the economic development planner for Salt Lake County. “In 1982, he accepted his current position as the community development director for Sandy City, which started with a staff of 10 people and now consists of 25 members,” Smith said. “He led several master planning efforts to help manage the growth, which was rampant and uncontrolled at the time and helped improve the overall service levels of the city.” Some of the contribution Coulam made during his tenure include the evolution of the city’s innovative sign ordinance, which Smith claims has been copied by many other cities. Coulam also helped create the civic center master plan. “Sandy City has become a desirable place to live, work and play because of Coulam’s vision for the community, his greatest strengths and abilities are to build a consensus between diverse groups, balancing economic development and citizen participation in order to build a beautiful community and helping to educate public officials and citizen groups on the importance
of proper urban planning, which made Sandy a show place for planning in the state of Utah,” Smith said. Coulam has also been involved in many volunteer group in the community. He joined the Sandy Exchange Club in 1985 and spearheaded the formation of the first Sandy Pride Day in 1986. “On this day, citizens are encouraged to take pride in their community by taking on special projects to enhance and beautify their neighborhoods,” Smith said. “He has been active in the Boy Scouts of America where he received the silver beaver award for long-term service in local and regional scouting.” In 1992, Coulam received the annual Noel Bateman award, an award that honors a Sandy resident who has demonstrated long-term dedication and service to the community. “Sandy City Council honors and commends Michael Coulam for his dedicated service and his example to all Sandy City employees and Sandy City residents and wishes him well in his well-earned retirement from public service,” Smith said. Coulam’s wife was also honored by the council during the meeting for her constant support. “We know that there is always a good, strong woman behind any man who gets anything done. We know it,” Councilwoman Maren Baker said. “This is a thank you to you for your support and continuous support and love for our city and your dear husband. Thank you.” l

Jordan, Waterford robotics teams advance to world championships By Julie Slama | Julie@mycityjournals.com
R
obots that were built by about 50 high school teams were steaming during this year’s FIRST Utah regional robotics competition, where Jordan High’s rookie team emerged victorious. “This just exceeded our expectations by millions,” said Jordan teacher Cameo Lutz, who along with John Chinchen, advises the Jordan robotics team. “We were just happy when we got our robot finished and working.” This year’s FIRST “Steamworks” competition inspired students to build robots that must lob “fuel cells” (in the form of balls) into a mock steam boiler to build enough fuel to operate a simulated steampowered airship. Meanwhile, the robots also transported giant gears to the airship to engage the ship’s propellers. Teams score points for each action. At the end, the teams’ robots needed to climb aboard their hovering airship to complete the round. The contest comes at the end of a six-week period in which student teams design, build, program and test the robots. At the end of the early round, the top eight teams formed alliances with other teams. Alta High was sixth place so the team formed its own alliance. Jordan High was selected by the third-place team out of Las Vegas to join in their alliance. “When we got there, our climbing mechanism wasn’t working so we asked for help and that’s how we got to know them,” Lutz said. “By competition time, they helped us with a new climbing mechanism that fit perfectly.” Lutz said cooperation amongst teams was a great part of Jordan’s success. “Hillcrest High (in Midvale) helped us with parts and getting started and Alta helped with programming. Waterford had a facility they arranged for us to practice at times that worked for us. They all

helped with our business plan, but it was also the hard work of our students that should be commended,” she said. Team president and junior Nicole Brooks has experience with robots. Last year, when Jordan didn’t have its own team, she participated with Hillcrest. Before that, she was part of FIRST Lego League’s Jedi team that won the state title and participated at the
national level. “We had a solid foundation and knew what needed to be done,” Nicole said. “Our school wasn’t equipped with what all we needed.” For example, their robot was one of the few made out of wood as the students didn’t have access to machinery to cut metal, Lutz said. continued on next page…

“We called it the Ghetto Bot and it probably looked more like a Pinewood Derby car, but I didn’t want them to always rely on others for help. I wanted to see what they could do on their own,” she said. The students worked afterschool for four hours per day, four days per week during the six weeks before the competition. “We were in 35th place after the early rounds and were pretty excited to move into 22nd place as a rookie team on Saturday,” Nicole said about the second day of competition, March 11. “We are a pretty strong defensive team, so we were confident we’d be picked to be part of an alliance, but when our number was called, I was just still. I was so shocked, I had forgot our team number.” During the competition, they faced Alta in the quarterfinals and Hillcrest in the semifinals. “It was kind of sad playing against these teams that supported us, but they were so happy cheering alongside us. We wanted each other to win as much as we wanted to win ourselves,” she said. When they won the overall championship, Lutz said it was disbelief. “We were so excited and shocked to win. We never thought we’d win it all. We were hoping to win the outstanding rookie award,” she said, adding that the team also received that title as well. With the overall title, Jordan will travel to Houston April 19-22 to participate in the world championships against 400 teams. During the competition, Alta’s team was plagued with robot problems, said Alta senior Mykell Johnson. “Our robot choked in the lift system and our launcher was ineffective in the game,” she said. Still, the team earned the Quality Award for its simple, clean effective design. “We made everything and didn’t rely on a kit. It’s the best robot we’ve built,” said the senior who has been a member of the team for three years and wants to become a mechanical engineer.
Waterford, which participated in both Utah’s and Idaho’s regional robotics competitions, was invited to participate in the world championships in April. (Waterford School)
“I’ve learned a lot about engineering and programming from our mentors and teacher. I can design and build. I have drafting skills. I can use equipment to create shafts to go on a robot. I’ve learned leadership and responsibility,” she said. Alta’s team didn’t call it quits. Learning a different kind of gear would make their robot more effective, they returned to their school to upgrade their robot and take it to the regional competition in Idaho in early April. Waterford, who also participated in Utah’s regional, traveled to Idaho to compete. There, its 10-member team was invited to participate at the world championships. “We made adjustments in our strategy and our mechanical system
and had big improvements in our level of play from the Utah event,” said Waterford science teacher and lead robotics mentor James Harris. “However, of equal importance is the work our team does to better our community of teams in Utah.” Besides Jordan, Waterford has helped Alta, AISU, Judge Memorial, Roots and Navajo Mountain high schools. At the Utah regional competition, Waterford was awarded the Gracious Professionalism award for their work in supporting other local teams. “There’s a need for lots of capable problem solvers, so through cooperation, we are training our engineers, programmers, scientists and others for our future,” he said. “The competition celebrates all of us learning and getting better.” l

Brookwood Elementary students donate funds to vaccinate African village By Julie Slama | Julie@mycityjournals.com

I
n 1987, Brookwood Elementary held a fun run so students could help raise funds for Discovery Elementary School in Mali, Africa. Twenty years later, Brookwood students have re-engaged with their Mali counterparts by donating funds to help vaccinate children so they can attend school. During the last week of March, Brookwood school children brought in contributions to help “vaccinate a village.” For every $5, a child in Mali could get vaccinated for nine life-threatening illnesses, said Principal Corrie Barrett. The vaccinations are against polio, yellow fever, measles, tuberculosis, diphtheria, hepatitis A, vitamin A deficiency, the flu, and tetanus. “We’re hoping our students understand that there are kids who aren’t as fortunate as they are and we all can make the world a better place by five dollars at a time,” she said. When students brought in $5, they received a paper doll figure to put up on a bulletin in the front hall, showing the “village” they were helping to vaccinate, which will help break the poverty cycle, said Heidi Poelman, Brookwood Parent-Teacher Enhanced Minority Leadership coordinator. “The children there want to attend school, but they aren’t able to since they don’t have vaccines,” she said. “But they don’t have money for the vaccinations so it’s become difficult for them to receive their education in the impoverished village.” Poelman said the school goal was to reach $500. The first day of the campaign, 218 Mali children were being helped by the $1,294 that Brookwood students contributed. “Our students are really excited and have learned how blessed their community is when they’ve learned about children on the other side of the world aren’t as lucky. We’ve empowered our students to make a difference,” she said. While some students are performing odd jobs or asking family and friends for money to donate, others are raiding their piggy banks. Fourth-grader Jane Christensen brought in $10, some of her own money and some from doing chores. “When I learned how important it was to vaccinate the kids in Africa, how could I not help?” she asked. Jane and other students at Brookwood learned about life in Mali through the Utah nonprofit group Ouelessebougou Alliance, which gave students a presentation about the village of Ouelessebougou in the fall. They also left some common village
items, such as a wooden mask worn at ceremonies; cloth painted from mud from the Niger River; talking drums used to convey messages; a toothbrush made from the Gessi tree; and a doll made of scraps of twigs, metal, tire, wire and fabric found around the village, for the students to look at through the year. Brookwood students also learned about typical life in the village. “The girls there usually cook over a fire, get water from a river, take care of younger brothers and sisters and don’t get to go to much school. They sleep on grass mats and when they do have time, most kids like to play basketball and soccer,” she said. Anounou Sissoko, Ouelessebougou Alliance field director in Mali, visited the students and gave an interview for Bear TV, the school’s broadcast, said student Ellie Poelman. “He’s really funny and laughed a lot,” she said. “He said that the schools there don’t have any glass windows and the floor is made up of clay and hay. He said that they live in such a poor place, they get sick and often die by their fifth birthday since they don’t have vaccinations. By getting to know the people there, we want them to know we care and want them to have a better life.” Ellie said that even though Brookwood students don’t speak the same language as those children in Mali, they are communicating with one another. “We sent them some pictures we drew of ourselves and our families, what we like to do, where we live and Anounou will deliver them and have them draw us some in return,” she said. The school also donated art supplies to the Ouelessebougou school, Poelman said. “The students are learning about their culture from the art exchange, from the artifacts, listening to Anounou,” she said, adding that they have a bulletin board with Bambara language phrases as well as what it’s like in the village on a typical day.” PTA volunteer Mariah Christensen said that she hopes that by being involved in this exchange, students will appreciate their good fortunes. “I hope they get a vision of a broader world and realize that different parts of the world don’t look like East Sandy,” she said. “I hope they are confidence that even by donating five dollars during a one-week fundraiser, they can make a great difference. By working as a group, they’re helping save lives and that can give them a perspective that even small acts of kindness will impact others every day.” l

Sandy Exchange Club honors local high school students By Julie Slama | Julie@mycityjournals.com
T
wo Sandy high school students recently were awarded Youth of the Year awards by the Sandy Exchange Club. Alta High School’s Kiara Vargas and Jordan High School’s Alex Schneider were selected for their high levels of scholastic achievement, community involvement and leadership, said Exchange Club Chair of Youth Awards Connie Carter. The two were recently recognized at a breakfast meeting, where they received plaques and $300 checks, and invited to read essays they wrote based on the theme, “Inspiring a Community to Become a Better Place.” Carter said that there were several capable candidates from the Youth of Month awards to review, but because the Exchange Club of Sandy is a service organization, they look heavily at each student’s involvement in area service projects. “Kiara helped form her school’s Latino in Action club and has united students together by doing service work for other students and people in the community,” Carter said. “Alex struggled as a freshman, so now he understands the issues involved and has been an advocate for those new freshmen at his school.”

Since 1980, Sandy Exchange Club has been involved in its work in youth activities, community service such as establishing Sandy Pride Day, and working toward the prevention of child abuse, the National Exchange Club’s primary project. They also have been active in the community during Sandy’s Fourth of July celebration, assisting at the Ronald McDonald House, ringing bells for Salvation Army, helping Sandy Police with “Shopping with a Cop” activities and other service work. Through the year, three high school students from Alta, Jordan and Hillcrest High (in Midvale) were honored as Youth of the Month. Besides Kiara and Alex, those honored include Jordan High’s Sydney Jensen; Alta High’s Britton Grossen; and Hillcrest High’s Cade Kartchner and Soyoung Jeon. At breakfast meetings, the students come with their parents and counselors and students talk about their achievements before their parents and counselors get an opportunity to share about the students. They also are presented with a plaque and a $200 check. “It gives the students a chance to talk about themselves, to present themselves in a relaxed atmosphere as well as hear how proud their

parents are of them. It’s rewarding for them to hear it as well as the Club to learn more about these outstanding individuals,” she said. The Exchange Club also honors two Valley High School students with the ACE award, which stands for Accepting the Challenge of Excellence. Selected by the school’s principal and counselors, the award recognizes students who have made a dramatic change in their attitude and performance, Carter said. “It’s a special award based on the young person’s story of overcoming adversity and hardships. These young women have worked hard to overcome adversity. One of them wants to be a nurse and the other, a pharmaceutical administrator,” she said. Valley High’s Bailey Stuckey and Jasmyn Meaux each received a plaque and $300 for the award. Selected by the Sandy Club and classroom teachers, the Exchange Club presented the Young Citizenship Award to Hunter Jarvis, of Mt. Jordan Middle School, and Jennifer Tamayo, of Jordan High. They each received a certificate, $25 movie gift card and a $50 check. “Jennifer has been a good role model for elementary and middle school students and has shown a commitment to the community through being an active Club member. Hunter already is a role model for his brother and has been helpful to people in the community, especially teachers,” Carter said. The Young Citizenship Award winners were honored at a Club breakfast, where they were invited to share what the Sandy Club has meant to them and their future goals. Their parents as well as Sandy Club Director Linda Saville also spoke about the student leaders. “We’re proud of the accomplishments of our students and the commitments they’ve made to the community. These awards honor the good work they’ve done,” Carter said. l

magine preparing sliced watermelon and goat’s milk cheese, topped with a lime cucumber mint salad and a strawberry balsamic glaze in one hour under the pressures of the state contest. If that’s not enough, the meal also included preparing pork medallions with creamy lemon garlic sauce and grenadine poached pear with vanilla bean sauce in that hour time limit. Sounds challenging, but that was just what Jordan High School’s ProStart team of Jillian Holley, Shantel Fernandez, Tabbie Romano and Amy Willis did, taking fifth place in the state. Preparing a different meal earlier in the year, the team took third in region. “We were so happy how they did at region and they were so excited to go to state,” said Shauna Young, Jordan High foods and nutrition, culinary arts and ProStart teacher and adviser. “At state, they performed their best and everything turned out.” ProStart, a two-year, nationwide program that develops the high school chefs into future restaurant and foodservice leaders, encourages participation through the annual competition. However, the contest wasn’t simply turning on the stove and start cooking. Students begin in the fall, brainstorming, searching the internet, magazines and cookbooks for recipes they could prepare in the time limit. As the competition grew closer, students were spending about 30 hours per week preparing, Young said. “They also had to prepare the food and cook it without electricity, bringing in all the equipment and food they needed. They also had to calculate how much each dish cost,” she said. Their dinner they prepared for state totaled $46.97. Jordan’s student chefs also were busy participating in the FCCLA (Family, Career and Community Leaders of America) culinary events. In late January, two Jordan High teams competed at the regional contest in Vernal, where one team walked away as region champs and the other was placed in the top five.
“The competition is different than ProStart. In FCCLA, they are given three possible menus to prepare so they can practice those beforehand. Then at the competition, one is chosen and they have one hour to prepare the three dishes — a salad, a protein and a starch,” she said. Young said the teams are judged on preparation, planning and job assignments, presentation, taste, time limit and sanitation. The two-member winning team, Jillian Holley and Shantel Fernandez, were invited to compete at the state championships. They also were on the ProStart team. “They were super excited and as seniors, pleased to compete at state since it’s their last chance to compete there. It’s been awhile since Jordan took first, so we’re thrilled,” Young said. At state, the team didn’t disappoint. The duo won silver medals. The three students who took fifth at region also were invited to help educate other FCCLA projects at state, so they gained from that experience, Young said. Other winning Jordan High FCCLA state competitors include freshman Marian Wintercorn, winning gold in the Illustrated Talk contest while freshman Akayla Love took silver; seniors Carlee Culberson and Mikayla Smith, both taking silver in Environmental Ambassador category; and senior Aylin Urbina picking up the bronze medal in the Focus on Children contest. FCCLA is a nonprofit national career and technical student organization for young men and women in family and consumer sciences education in public and private school where students explore a variety of youth concerns, including teen pregnancy, parenting, family relationships, substance abuse, peer pressure, environment, nutrition and fitness, teen violence, and career exploration. Involvement in FCCLA offers members the opportunity to expand their leadership potential and develop skills for life — planning, goal setting, problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal communication necessary in the home and workplace. l

ir Force Command and Control Operations Staff Sgt. Nathan Marsh said the most important part of his job is not doing it. “If I do my job, it means nuclear war,” he said. “So I actually don’t want to do it. I just want to always practice it.” Marsh and other parents and community volunteers were at Silver Mesa’s Career Day, telling students the pros and cons of their professions and letting them know what class subjects have been helpful in careers ranging from artist to electrical engineer. Marsh said he typically spends his 12hour, four-day work weeks practicing decoding messages, which to others may look like “printouts of random letters.” Looking for a full-time job, Marsh entered the air guard part time until a full-time position opened. “I went through basic training, technical school and then air command school so there was a lot of schooling and things I needed to learn to do my job. Reading, math, spelling — all the subjects you’re learning now — I use every day,” he told third-grade students. In a first-grade classroom, physical therapist Amanda Reddin said she uses a lot of science and math in her career. “I had to learn a lot about bones and muscles,” she said. “There’s a lot of memorization and needing to understand angles as the tools we use measure angles for the patients’ range of motion in say their knee.” To become a physical therapist, Reddin said she went to college for four years, then to graduate school for two years. She earned her doctorate degree, three years later. “I love education. I love learning,” she said. Reddin said that she chose the career partly because of its flexibility of working part- or fulltime or with certain patients. She started working with soldiers in the military with injuries and has also worked with athletes recovering from sports
injuries. Currently, she is working with seniors who she needs to make certain they’re capable of being able to live at home alone, such as getting in and out of bed, using a shower or climbing stairs. She also said her job is appealing as physical therapists are needed everywhere, so she can choose where to live. Her other reason: “I get to work with people and help them get better. I love doing that.” Louise Bean brought in several hats to show all the roles she plays daily as a mother. “I’m a CEO, housekeeper, facility manager, driver, psychologist, caterer, party planner, chef, day care provider, teacher, laundry operator, van driver, technology manager and sports coach,” she said. Bean, who also works at the school as a special education aide, emphasized the importance of being a parent. “You do these jobs and so many more when you love your kids as a mother,” she said. Even though first-grader Alexis Reddin wants to be a horse trainer, she came to realize the importance of being a mother. “It’s hard to be a mom,” she said. “I didn’t realize all the things they have to do for us kids.” Her teacher, Sam Milianta, said Bean’s presentation was impressive. “She showed a lot of good visuals so students could see how she needed skills in reading, math, science and juggling so many things at the same time,” he said. Principal Julie Fielding said that Career Day is one that students like as they learn about careers as well as have their parents present in their classrooms. “We hope that students become more aware of what careers are available and this sparks some interest in them learning more about them and the education they’ll need,” she said. “In almost every profession, they need to learn how to read, write and problem solve so that helps to reinforce what they’re learning now.” l

Fantastic magical classes offered at Silver Mesa’s Literacy Night By Julie Slama | Julie@mycityjournals.com
C
are of magical creatures, Snape’s potions class, charms class, Ollivander’s wand shop and other fantastic magical classes and opportunities were offered one night at Silver Mesa Elementary’s “School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.” “The whole neighborhood came,” fifthgrader Gabe Vincent said. “Everyone was here wanting to make wands, learn about magical creatures and magic itself.”
Wand-making was a favorite activity during Silver Mesa literacy night. (Silver Mesa Elementary)
That was the point of the literacy night, according to Mary Ann Curtis, Silver Mesa Parent-Teacher Association literacy night coordinator. “We want to open new worlds to them, have them escape and explore realms within the literary world,” she said about the 600 patrons who attended the event. During the evening, students could rotate through 10 stations, such as magical story time, writing class, magical demonstrations or even Trelawney’s divination class, to learn more about the magical world of reading, Curtis said. Fifth-grader Tessa Schuman said the bookmark-making station was popular. “A lot of people were making bookmarks with magical creatures and monsters for the books they got at the book fair,” she said. Classmate Sara Bryner said wand-making and the magician were two sessions high in demand. “Everyone wanted to make wands,” she said. “I think they ran out because there were more people here than they expected. It was packed for the magician. He was so awesome. He knew comedy and really interacted well with the audience. In fact, all the activities were engaging for people who came.”
Fifth-grader Claire Krallis appreciated the potions class. “It was really amazing with explosions and bubbles coming out of the cauldron,” she said. These students, who are part of the student council, dressed in robes and welcomed visitors and helped the PTA with the event. Teachers also dressed as witches and wizards and helped at the stations. “A lot of people love Harry Potter so all the activities could be fun and creative,” Tessa said. The literacy night event on March 21 was part of the month-long push to encourage students to read and do more reading-related activities, Principal Julie Fielding said. “Our school goal is to increase our English-language arts scores and achievement levels so by bringing about creative reading and literacy activities, students will have more fun and enjoy reading more,” she said. Some of the activities were as simple as students writing notes to staff and faculty which then Fielding, dressed as Professor McGonagall, would deliver with her stuffed owl. Sara wrote her teacher, librarian and Fielding. “All the activities centered around reading and writing, but there were some creative ones, like reading a book before watching a movie or writing your own play, she said. Claire said the daily trivia was fun, too. “When you answered questions, you would get points that went to your house,” she said. Each grade level was split into houses that would accumulate points throughout the month. Tessa said students had fun creating names. “The first-graders were the Rainbow Puffs and the kindergartners were the Suesserins,” she said. “The fourth-graders were the most creative. They were the Fowgarbrowests, which is a made-up name from combining all their teachers’ names together.” Fifth-grader Keyan Olson liked Quidditch, where six students on a team would play against other teams in a tournament. “It’s been all month that we’ve been playing outside,” he said. “Everyone wants to play so there’s a lot of teams trying to win and get house points.” Curtis said the vision of increasing student reading and activities has come to fruition. “We wanted to re-energize the students to read and engage in more learning,” she said. “We hoped some students would do a couple of the eight activities on their own and most did at least half, if not more. There are students reading more, writing more and having fun while doing so.” l

Harlem Globetrotter recognizes Willow Canyon student who wants School Buddy Bench By Julie Slama | Julie@mycityjournals.com
W
illow Canyon third-grader Qwade Rondeau was reading “Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days” last year when he learned about buddy benches. “It’s a place where if you’re lonely, you go there if you need a friend to play games with or play on the playground,” he said. “There’s lots of friends at our school and if you’re lonely, you’re wasting time at recess when you could be having fun.” So, as a second-grader, Qwade asked his principal, Marilyn Williams, if the school could install a buddy bench. “I thought it was a great idea,” Williams said. “We have organized games through Playworks, so it would be easy for a student to grab another to get them involved in a game. He just wanted to make sure everyone has someone to play with.” The buddy bench, which had to gain approval and be purchased, is slated for a spring installation, about one year after Qwade suggested it. His mother, Tausha, said the idea was all his own. “He was the one who came up with it and kept reminding his principal, probably daily, about it,” she said.
For wanting his classmates to have a buddy, Qwade was recognized by KSL High 5 award, which recognizes someone doing good in their community. The award also came with a visit from Harlem Globetrotter “Buckets.” “I thought the assembly was going to be a music assembly, so when they called my name to come up and get the High 5 award, I was surprised. Buckets showed us a lot of basketball tricks and I got to have Buckets spin the ball on my finger,” he said. He also received tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters game and had the opportunity to meet other players at the pre-show. At the school, Buckets also went over the Globetrotters’ “The ABCs of Bullying Prevention” — action, bravery and compassion — with the students so they can use the key words as tools to reduce bullying as well as have them offer support to one another and extend their friendship, Williams said. “We have a program already in place that goes hand-in-hand with their initiative that we have integrated into our daily activities and everyone is trained school-wide, so we have very few behavioral issues at our school. We teach ‘stop, walk and talk’ where we empower our bystanders to stop the action and support the
person who is a victim,” Williams said. She said the program is offered at schools throughout Canyons School District as part of the positive behavior program. Tausha Rondeau said Qwade takes the time to show others he cares. “Every day after school he will stop by each of his previous teachers’ classroom just to say ‘hi’ and see how they are doing,” she said. “(When Qwade learned) it was the janitor’s birthday the first of the year and (he) found out he liked chocolate chip cookies. So Qwade came home and asked if we could make Al, the janitor, some chocolate chip cookies for his birthday and we did and he was so excited to deliver them to school.” Now Qwade includes Al on several cards and gifts throughout the school year, she said. Williams said Qwade’s idea of a buddy bench fits into the expectation of being friendly and caring. “We teach kindness and passion and practice it at our school and hold the students accountable,” she said. “Qwade wants to improve and build positive relationships at our school and by installing a buddy bench, we’ll all be empowered to meet these expectations.” l

Jordan soccer looks to be tough in Region 3 By Billy Swartzfager | billy@mycityjournals.com
T
he boys soccer team at Jordan High School began the 2017 season on a strong note, and it hopes to keep up the pace for the year. The team made the playoffs last year after having missed out since 2013. The 2016 squad finished third in 5A’s Region 3 going 8-4-1 overall and 5-3-1 during region play. That squad lost its first round match in the state tournament to top seeded Weber High School. The 2017 Beetdiggers are a little more experienced and are looking to go even further. “We would like to get to the playoffs again and make it to the second round, and ultimately to the championship game,” Jordan head coach Nelson Glassett said. This year’s team is led by many returning players, three of whom are seniors with years of experience. There are also eight juniors and one sophomore who logged heavy minutes last season. Senior goal keeper Jose Rios, who is also a team captain, will be protecting the net again this season. Midfielder Adolfo Bruno, also a captain and a senior, will be back on the pitch, as will junior defender Graden Reber, also a captain. Sophomore Talon Hathoway is also returning after a string freshman season at striker. “This is a very special group of young men,” Glassett said. “These boys have been playing the game for a long time, they know how to play, yet they are willing to be coached.” Jordan started the year against West High School on March 7, getting the early springtime win, 3-1. The Beetdiggers lost their second game to Olympus on March 14, getting blanked,

3-0. They came back with a brilliant, double overtime victory over region rival Cottonwood, on March 17, winning 2-1. Jordan won their next two against a couple of other region foes, Taylorsville, March 24, 6-0 and West Jordan, March 28, 1-0. This year’s team is focused on getting better and learning from their mistakes. The coach also emphasized the importance of playing as a team, comradery and building a family-like
environment. According to the coach, the practices are meant to push the kids, yet are fun and extremely positive. The approach seems to be working for the Beetdiggers. “They are incredible individuals, they can do anything, not just individually, but as a brotherhood,” said Glassett. The state tournament’s first round begins on May 16, and Jordan will have had to play their best in order to get there. The Beetdiggers played nine region match ups through the month of April and into early May, squaring off against Region 3 power Bingham twice, the always tough Copper Hills Grizzlies twice and the Bengals of Brighton two times as well. All of those teams are efficient and can play well enough to win when their opponents don’t show up ready to play. But, Glassett believes that his group of players will put their game faces on any day. “The players come ready to learn and improve,” Glassett said. “They are very positive.” The Beetdiggers are hopeful that their approach, their hard work, the tight-knit demeanor of the players and the positive attitudes will result in not only a state tournament berth, but a game in the second round, and, possibly a chance at the trophy playing under the lights at Rio Tinto Stadium the last week of May. “I am honored every day to think that they give me and the other coaches the time and respect to listen to our thoughts and allow us to share insights with them,” Glassett said. “That says a lot about the boys.” l

he Jordan Beetdiggers would like to play a bit later in the year than last season. In 2016, Jordan placed third in their region and went to the state tournament. There they lost their first round game against Mountain Crest and wound up in the elimination bracket, where they won a game but were knocked out of the tournament by region rival Cottonwood, who went on to place third. The 2017 season is looking similar, as the Beetdiggers are sitting behind Bingham, who took second in the state two years ago, and Cottonwood. Jordan is young team, there are no seniors on this year’s roster and only a few returning varsity players from last season. Noah Hennings is a junior and will man the hot corner for Jordan this season. Another junior, Noah Bachman, is the team’s starting catcher, while sophomore second baseman Jake Shaver is returning and will pitch as well. Gage Edwards, a junior, pitched well early for Jordan also. The team’s goals include competing for a region title and making the state tournament, hopefully lasting a bit longer. Jordan isn’t looking too far ahead, though. They plan on working hard every day and approaching the season one game at a time. “Reaching our goals will take a lot of hard work and unselfishness. We have to go one game at a time,” said four-year head coach Chad Fife. According to Fife, his team is extremely talented in spite of its lack of experience and youth. He also thinks the youthful jitters that accompany many young players contributed to a slow start for 2017. The Beetdiggers began region play 3-3, which they’ll need to improve upon if they are to play deep into this year’s state tournament. But, Fife isn’t worried about the talent he has on the field.
“We have three or four guys who could play at the next level if they work hard and have a bit of luck,” the coach said. Jordan started the year with a nonregion doubleheader against Riverton. The Beetdiggers lost the first game on March 11, 7-5, but avenged the loss with a big win later in the day, 18-16 in extra innings. Region play began on March 21 against West Jordan. Jordan lost a close one, 6-5. The team traveled the following day to the Jaguars’ home field and evened the series, 8-1. But, West Jordan won the third game on March 24, 7-4. The next region foe to face the Beetdiggers was Copper Hills, beginning on March 28. Jordan took two of three from the Grizzlies, outscoring Copper Hills in the series, 24-9. Jordan began the month of April in Las Vegas, playing in the always stacked Bishop Gorman Desert Classic. The first round of the state tournament begins May 16, and the semifinal and final rounds will be played before the end of the month at Utah Valley University. Fife believes in his team and thinks they have a great chance to get to where they would like to go. But, he also understands that high school baseball is only the beginning for the young men on his team. “The game isn’t just about baseball, there are life lessons there that go well beyond baseball,” Fife said. “Hopefully, they are learning to be better young men at the same time.” And what is the biggest message Fife believes can taken from this experience, whether it be on the field or years later on the job? Where there is a will, there is a way,” he said. l

Jordan softball looks to improve from last season By Billy Swartzfager | billy@mycityjournals.com

J
ordan High School’s softball team is hoping 2017 will be a better season than those of past years. First-year head coach, Shawnee Le Prey has a young, inexperienced team this season, some of whom are brand new to the sport, so the group certainly has an uphill battle in front of them. But the group is working on fundamentals and team work. “Last year, we had our best group of girls and just couldn’t put it together,” Le Prey said. The team finished fifth in their region on 2016, going 4-11 overall and 3-8 in region play. The team missed the postseason by one place. This year, the team is keeping their goals reasonable and within reach. Their main goal is always to improve over the previous year. “We had three wins in region last year, this year we are shooting for four or more,” said the coach. There are five returning upperclassmen for the Beetdiggers, three seniors and two juniors. Many of the starting players are sophomores, though most played a lot of innings last season. Catcher and team captain, Ina Malo is back for her senior year, a capable backstop and backbone for what the younger players need from a leader. Morgan Sterner is a senior as well and plays center field. Sterner missed many games during the season with an ankle injury, but has contributed heavily in leading the outfield since her return. She also maintains a 3.9 GPA while playing softball and other sports. Julie Malo plays third base, and is one of the best athletes Le Prey has ever seen. Julie is a great hitter and is a junior this season. Myriah Perry is also a senior and will hold down the fort in left field. And, junior Jessie Cowburn will be scooping all year at first base. While there are a lot of leaders
who are older, some of the younger players act as leaders as well. Julie and Ina’s younger sister, Puavani Malo is playing shortstop in her sophomore year, but has also stepped in to pitch when the team needed her to, though she isn’t a pitcher. According to the coach, Jordan can swing the bats really well. She said she is never too worried about whether or not her team will get the bat on the ball, which is their advantage when playing teams of a similar caliber. “That is definitely our advantage, and it makes us hard to beat,” Le Prey said. The young squad has worked tirelessly this season at practice and during games to build a sense of togetherness, but the Beetdiggers also took part in a tournament in Moab this season that also went a long way in bringing cohesiveness to the team. “The last three years we never did any tournaments, so our team didn’t know what to look forward to,” said the coach. “Moab was a great experience, not only on the field but also to bring the team together. There are a lot of new girls this year, so having a chance to be together in a different environment was awesome. We will definitely go back.” The state tournament begins May 23 at the Valley Complex in Taylorsville. Jordan is hoping to have put in enough work to get there. They will have had to rack up more than four Region 3 victories in order to make it happen though, and with tough teams like Bingham lurking, it may be tough. Le Prey, though, is proud of her team for showing up and making the effort in an attempt to win. “It is so awesome seeing kids get involved in something they’ve never done and love it. I want to see these girls go on and do big things. I try so hard to help them do that,” she said. l

ithout a doubt, when I’m out and about in the community I’m most frequently asked about the progress on Hale Centre Theatre. The increasing interest is not at all surprising since it’s impossible to miss the 130,000 square foot facility, with its signature theater-in-the-round, rising rapidly to become an iconic piece of our transforming cityscape. There is an undeniable excitement surrounding Hale Centre Theatre and its role as the “crown jewel” of The Cairns, our 1,000-acre city center designed for a live, work, play and shop destination experience. We are striving to do much more than build a sustainable city, we are determined to create a community where memories are made, where roots are established and where generations of families will be proud to call home. The Cairns City Center is a key part of fulfilling that vision, with its “Mountain Meets Urban” environment mirroring our active urban lifestyle. Within The Cairns, residents will find a bustling arts and entertainment scene, connected trails network, a variety of shopping and dining options and plentiful housing and employment opportunities. The Hale Centre Theatre, with its family-friendly entertainment, adds greatly to the vibrancy in our downtown, generates necessary sales tax revenue and brings a dedicated community partner into our city. Where is the new theatre located? • The new theatre is conveniently located adjacent to the east side of I-15 at 9900 S. Monroe Street, just to the west of City Hall. It’s location is designed to be near many restaurants, retailers and hotels. How big is the new theater? • The new Sandy City Theatre is 130,000 square feet with two new state-of-the-art stages under one roof for a combined total of 1360 seats What types of stages will there be? • The new Hale Centre Theatre will feature a new Centre Stage which will comfortably seat 900 patrons in an

intimate theater-in-the-round experience and a new horseshoe shaped Jewel Box stage which will comfortably seat 460 patrons. What improvements can patrons look forward to in the new Sandy theatre? • Stage automation and flying systems in the Centre Stage theatre will be unmatched world-wide. • The Jewel Box theatre, with its proscenium thrust stage, will arc into the audience in an engaging way that will allow HCT to present theatre that is best show-cased in this format. • With two stages operating at the same time, patrons will be able to attend productions year-round. • Very comfortable seating will offer plenty of legroom with optimal sightlines • Luxurious hosting rooms will allow for private receptions pre-show dinners • With our new Cairns Plaza located next to The Hale Centre Theatre, patrons will enjoy a beautiful park complete with stunning water features • Parking - There will be plenty of free covered parking adjacent to the building, allowing patrons to get from car to theatre without stepping into the elements. How many performances will there be each year in the new Hale Centre? • The new theatre in Sandy is anticipated to provide more than 700 performances a year between the two stages. What is the timeline for the new theatre? • Jewel Box stage grand opening – September 1, 2017 • Centre Stage grand opening – November 16, 2017 Why are they moving to Sandy City? • Hale Centre Theatre is expanding because the current seating capacity does not meet demand.
