He’s Made His List And Checked It Twice By Peter Worona

ith a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eye, Santa Claus arrived at the South Towne Center in November to meet all the girls and boys of Sandy. The center of a spectacular display of Christmas decorations, Santa had his picture taken with the children and listened to what they wanted for Christmas. As jolly as ever, Santa said he loves this time of year because there’s no other time like it. “My favorite part about Christmas is experiencing the joy, the

wonder, the amazement and the fantasy of it all,” Santa said. “Just look around. You see the beautiful lights, you hear the music, you see people bustling around carrying packages. When you see them and give them a smile, they smile back. It’s so nice being Santa Claus, because everybody loves you. You get a few ‘bah, humbugs,’ but not many.” Santa sees a lot of children every year, so it’s good to know

Sandy Boy Undergoes Revolutionary Treatment

Sandy FD Hopes To Prevent Elderly Falls By Peter Worona

ikey Tucker, 10, is getting what he wants most this holiday season: a painfree Christmas, thanks to the International Foundation of Lymphology, a Sandy-based clinic. A nonprofit organization, IFL is dedicated to providing treatment to people suffering from lymphatic malformations. In Mikey’s case, he was in constant pain from an arteriovenous malformation, or a lymphatic malformation of the face. A lymphatic malformation is caused by an accumulation of lymphatic fluid in certain tissues, which results in swelling. In addition to the lymphatic malformation, Mikey also suffers from Down syndrome, which challenges his family even more because he struggles to communicate. Due to the mass on his jaw, Mikey suffers from limited range of motion, pain, swelling of the face, sleep apnea and runny eyes. He would also routinely bite the inside of his

come back.” Instead of operating again, Primary Children’s Hospital in Salt Lake City decided to refer Tucker to IFL. He underwent a 10day treatment, which uses the Godoy-Godoy method, despite his parents’ initial hesitation. After the 10 days, Mikey’s pain level and swelling had been reduced, his range of movement had improved, he could breathe and speak better and his attitude had become more positive. “His mom just basically said, ‘My gosh, you just gave me my son back. I can’t believe it. He’s not the same boy.’ But when we’re in pain, that’s what happens. We just close in ourselves, and we’re not really up for anything,” Givone said. Givone formed this nonprofit group in early October. In just a few short months they have treated at least five children from the Sandy area alone that were all suffering from intolerable pain and swelling, she said. “We’re working hard. . .

He became interested in lymphology after he realized that there wasn’t a proper treatment for the disorder. He has helped develop new techniques and devices for lymph drainage, which includes his Godoy-Godoy method. Godoy trained Givone in this method, which is a non-invasive way of treating lymphatic malformations. It utilizes neural muscular massage, myofascial relief, and lymphatic drainage to achieve its dramatic results. The International Foundation of Lymphology is the only accredited treatment center in North America using the Godoy-Godoy method. l

ut of about 4,000 medical calls that the Sandy City Fire Department takes every year, 20 percent involve people who have fallen, most of them senior citizens. The department’s new fall prevention program aims to lower that number. Spearheaded by Captain Alan Bartlome, the program is designed to allow Sandy firefighters to go to the homes of seniors around Sandy to change smoke detector batteries, install handrails and do other things to make their homes safer, such as identifying trip hazards. Anyone interested in the department’s assistance can call and schedule an appointment, but emergencies will be given priority. Cline said that since they’re still in the process of rolling the program out, they haven’t gone to any homes yet. When they do, he said he’ll send two firefighters out of a four-man crew. A checklist has been created to help people take better care of themselves and their surroundings, such as clearing away clutter, using nightlights around walking paths, and getting annual vision and hearing exams. The checklist is available on the Sandy Fire Department’s website. The fall prevention program, which began rolling out in early October, started out as Cline’s idea after his mother-in-law suffered a fall on a sheet of ice, which affected the entire family. “After that, she never did go back to her home to live on her own,” Cline said. “Up to that point, she was able to cook and take care of herself, but it was a life-changing event in our family because of a fall.

andy City seems to be having a bit of a deer problem, and hunting them may be in the cards. According to residents in the southeastern part of Sandy, at about 11600 South going eastward, deer are coming down from the mountains, but they aren’t going back up after finding food. They’re staying in residents’ backyards, making homes for themselves and even reproducing. Seventy residents in the area recently signed a petition and presented it to the Sandy City Council. They’re not happy with the presence of the animals, citing droppings and eaten plants as two of the reasons they want the deer gone. The Division of Wildlife Resources has a program in which certified bow hunters are used to take care of the deer population in urban areas, which is one option being discussed by the city council. Highland did this in August, and the meat that was collected was used to feed the homeless. It may not even be legal for the council to make a decision like this, though, said City Councilmember Steve Fairbanks. “We want to be able to take care of our citizens’ needs and concerns, so we need to figure out exactly what can be done,” Fairbanks said. “We don’t yet know how far we can go legally.” This isn’t the first time the increasing deer population has been brought to the city

council’s attention, said Communications Director Nicole Martin. “The city council has discussed this issue in the past, but no action was taken,” Martin said. “The city council did ask for this issue to come back on a future agenda, so at that time, the council will look at a variety of potential solutions for this problem.” Fairbanks said that the council has only heard one side of the story, and that there are many people opposed to hunting the deer. The discussion is expected to be brought back to the council sometime in January. l

Checked It Twice continued from page 1 that the vast majority of them are nice. He said that about 98 percent of children he sees are nice while a mere 2 percent are naughty, but he believes that “all children are good.” Mrs. Claus is doing well, Santa said, busy tying ribbons on gifts and baking cookies. He said that the biggest gift she gets every year is when he returns to the North Pole after delivering all the presents, and she’s always excited to see him come home healthy and happy after a long night of travel. Santa is known for going down chimneys to deliver Christmas gifts every year. But what about homes that don’t have chimneys? Rest assured, those children are not left out. “I can go through walls,” Santa said with a smile. “The elves have given me ways to go through walls. It’s magic.”

Peruvian Park Elementary School student Abigail Slama-Catron, 9, took it upon herself to ask Santa for a toothbrush and toothpaste for every person in the world. She also asked for a doll and a dance dress for herself.

Santa explained that there are many different kinds of elves. Some take care of the reindeer; others make toys to be delivered on Christmas Eve, and still others watch over the children of the world. Santa’s famous reindeer are also doing quite well, and they’re enjoying the cold weather. “The reindeer are wonderful, but Rudolph is naughty,” Santa said. “He’s always getting the other reindeer to play tag and other reindeer games when they should be concentrating on what they’re supposed to be doing. We tried to have them in the mall, but they’re so large that they were knocking kiosks around.” It seems that Santa has thought ahead when it comes to getting his work done efficiently. He said that while he and Mrs. Claus take a few weeks off for vacation after he gets done with his deliveries on Christmas Eve, the elves are hard at work making toys as early as January.

S

anta Claus only comes around once a year, so we may not get to ask him all the questions we might have. Here are some interesting facts about the man himself: His cell phone’s ringtone is “Jingle Bells.” Santa loves it when Mrs. Claus bakes Christmas cookies. Every time Santa goes back to the North Pole, there are more elves than the last time he was there. He doesn’t know how many elves there are! Santa tries to get a new red suit every year; Mrs. Claus and some of the elves make the suits for him. His reindeer and sleigh were resting on the roof of the South Towne Center during his visit.

Thanks to some more magic from the elves, he said he can miniaturize when he flies in his sleigh, allowing him to travel at supersonic speeds. Sometimes, however, he slows down so the North American Aerospace Defense Command can track the progress of his journey. “I like NORAD,” Santa said. “I think it’s wonderful that children can see where I am in the world.

It’s Hard When Your Brother Leaves By Peter Worona

A

fter 29 years of service to Sandy City, juggling his time among keeping the budget in check, working with residents, and making sure everything was done legally, City Council Executive Director Phil Glenn recently retired on Nov. 17. Glenn’s position with the city involved working directly with the city council, acting as a liaison for the council with the mayor, chief administrative officer, business professionals, city officials and others. He also researched subjects of council interest and made sure everything was being done legally and with care. He worked in Salt Lake City before coming to Sandy, which gave him institutional knowledge that helped prevent past pitfalls from happening again, Councilmember Steve Fairbanks said. Council members have fond memories of Glenn, and they praised his ability to work with so many people simultaneously. “He is such a remarkable person to be able to work with seven different personalities on a daily basis,” Linda Martinez-Saville said. “It would be hard to be somebody like Phil, because politically, he had to work with the administration, angry citizens and us seven. That poor man.” Fairbanks cited Glenn’s ability to fairly and accurately represent “seven different bosses” as one of the reasons he was so valuable to the council. “He’s been in a tough job,” Fairbanks said. “He’s had to find a way to navigate among the opinions of seven bosses, figure out what it is that we want, and make that clear to the administration. He was the one who met with the administration in their weekly meetings, and he was the one who represented the council. It put a lot of pressure on him, and he did it extremely well.” Councilmember Chris McCandless said he considers Glenn family, and that it’s “hard when your brother leaves.” “Phil is like a big brother,” McCandless said. “He had all the experience that I didn’t have, especially when I was first appointed to the city council. The only thing that I personally regret about our relationship is that time never permitted us to go fly fishing more, or skiing more, or do things on of a personal nature, because for me, Phil’s family.” As a retirement gift, the council presented Glenn with an opaque projector that Saville found in her house, a perfect representation of one of their inside jokes. “He loves to do everything on an opaque

projector,” Saville said. “My husband and I were cleaning out our house, and I found an old one. It was like an antique from 40 years ago. We presented it to Phil for his retirement, and we put funny little sayings that he always said on it. We always tease him about the opaque projector, and now he has one.” At his retirement get-together, Glenn’s sons, Sean, Damon and Cortney, shared some lessons that they had learned from their father over the years. Some lessons were humorous, such as: “Keep everything. Nothing is too trivial to keep. Tax records from 40 years ago? Keep ‘em.” Others were wise, like, “Lead through service. Influence through teamwork, reason, and a combined sense of purpose.” Glenn said that he considers himself to be a very private person, and city council members and other city employees who know him have confirmed as much. He even refused an interview for this story, saying he doesn’t like being the center of attention. “For some reason, it’s just painful for him to be in the spotlight,” Sandy City Chief Administrative Officer Byron Jorgenson said. “The farewell get-together was just a beautiful tribute, but he was embarrassed and mortified.” Jorgenson said he’s heard that Glenn plans on spending more time with his family after retirement, in addition to helping his wife with her ceramics business. Council members said several times that they are very pleased with Mike Applegarth, the new executive director that took over after Glenn retired, but that Glenn would be missed. “We do have someone new, and he is so fantastic, and we’re so lucky to have picked such a great person to replace him, but Phil will truly be missed,” Saville said. “[Phil] honestly is a genuinely, genuinely good guy, with a tremendous sense of ethics,” Fairbanks said. “We are going to miss Phil and his presence.” l

Food, Blankets, Stuffed Animals Warm Hearts This Holiday Season

Alta High Presents ‘You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown’ By Julie Slama

P

iles of blankets, food, stuffed animals, books and toys are being shared with those less fortunate this holiday season, thanks to local school children. East Sandy Elementary kicked off the holidays with its second annual month of service, where students donated time, supplies and talent all November. “We started last year with the idea of a service project day, and when the principal [Kenna Sorensen] suggested a Month of Giving, it has just evolved,” Parent-Teacher Communication Chair Jane Healy said. “We want students to think outside themselves and do something helping and serving others.” This year’s month-long campaign included a winter clothing drive serving about 25 East Sandy students and families, as well as providing seven bags full of clothing for recent refugees who just arrived from central Africa, Iran and Iraq.

“Hopefully, we’ll do the Month of Giving

every year and it will get bigger and better. Parents are glad to see their children helping do something for someone else.” Students created alphabet books in Swahili and English to be sent through Africa School House to African children learning to read; wrote more than 100 letters for soldiers through Operation Gratitude; drew pictures on 350 paper placemats, made more than 80 holiday cards for Meals on Wheels recipients and tied fleece blankets for Primary Children’s Hospital patients. East Sandy students also donated more than 2,500 items of food for the Utah Food Bank and donated more than six large plastic bags of stuffed animals for Project Teddy Bear for at-risk students at the Family Support Treatment Center and House of Hope, coordinated through the Bank of American Fork. “Hopefully, we’ll do the Month of Giving every year and it will get bigger and better. Parents are glad to see their children helping do something for someone else,”

East Sandy Elementary School students cut fringe and tied fleece blankets for Primary Children’s Hospital patients as part of their Month of Giving. Photo courtesy of Jane Healy Healy said. Willow Canyon and Oakdale students also are collecting stuffed animals for other children. Willow Canyon staff and faculty also collected hats, gloves and scarves for homeless shelters, Principal Marilyn Williams said. Willow Canyon and Jordan High School are involved in Sub-for-Santa programs. At Jordan High, students are supporting families in need within Canyons School District. Jordan senior class historian Kayla Carruth said they hope to provide 100 families with turkey vouchers, blankets, coats and gift cards. “We’re giving everyone the opportunity to give back to help the people around us,” Kayla said. Alta High students are raising funds through the Makea-Wish Foundation to support a girl named Lilly and her family to travel to Florida, Principal Brian McGill said. Peruvian Park and Sunrise students are donating to the 50th anniversary of KSL’s Quarters for Christmas campaign that provides coats, boots and warm clothing. Contributions from the collection will go to children who benefit from Crossroads Urban Center, Catholic Community Services and The Road Home. Edgemont and Silver Mesa held canned food drives in November to provide food for those in need. Silver Mesa collected seven barrels of food for the Utah Food Bank, said teacher Kevin Nelson. l

s usual, Charlie Brown is happy and hopeful when his friends say he’s a good man, but he doubts that he really is. So, Alta High senior Janie Defriez, who plays Charlie Brown, decides to find out how Charlie Brown can be a good person, taking the audience through familiar comic strip storylines, from being afraid to talk to the little redhaired girl to pitching on the baseball field, in the upcoming school production “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.” The show opens Thursday, Jan. 15 and runs through Saturday, Jan. 17 in Alta High School’s auditorium, 11055 South 1000 East. All shows begin at 7 p.m. Tickets are $8.25 in advance and $9 at the door. The show, which is made up of Theatre IV students, is directed by senior Patrick Rideout and assistant director senior Noah Martinez. “I selected the show because it is family friendly, fun and upbeat,” theater teacher Linze Struiksma said. “It

All the students are seniors. “Students indicated what they were interested in doing, and then they were selected on their passion. Several students drew sketches and submitted them for costuming. The stage crew is building the set with geometrical shapes. Not every high school has a theater production class that is given this opportunity to design, direct and market their show, so this is giving our students opportunities so they will know what colleges and the real world will expect of them,” Struiksma said.

Charlie Brown continued from page 6 time. In January, after-school practices will be added before the show opens. The show was written in 1967 and was first designed just as songs after the popular comic strips, but was then created into a comical musical that premiered at an off-Broadway theater and ran for almost

1,600 shows. It later opened on Broadway, in London’s West End and toured the United States showing familiar scenes of Charlie Brown tangling his kite and Snoopy flying his doghouse against the Red Baron. “It’s a fun show and there’s humor for everyone. The characters say cute lines about random things that the kids and adults love,” Struiksma said. l

MONEY ... DID THAT GET YOUR ATTENTION? By Joani Taylor

T

he mention of same usually does. When discussing the subject I prefer using frugal instead of cheap, thrifty over tight-wad and penny-wise as opposed to penny-pincher and the word parsimoniousis strictly for the dictionary, although I must admit the phrase “buddy can you spare a dime?” has a certain ring to it. Finding a great bargain or saving a dollar has always been an automatic pleasure for yours truly. I suppose this is rooted from childhood, where I learned early on that having money meant saving money and that can require some creativity. For example, you know those brown spots that show up in your lawn in the heat of summer and watering does not make them go away? Diagnosis: fungus. Ever priced fungicide for fungus treatment? I did, and the price made me break out in a sweat and my hands began tremble. That hasn’t happened since I heard that Coca Cola was changing its formula. If you remember that you are were around when surfing meant going on a vacation to California. At any rate, as I considered my options for treating fungus it quickly became obvious that it would be less expensive to buy a can of

green spray paint and paint the brown spot to match the rest of the lawn. Voila, problem solved. With Valentine’s Day approaching I find myself reverting to my economical mind-set to weigh the rewards of showering loved ones with tokens of affection. I show my hubby a loving gesture by giving the household broom and mop a rest, in favor of watching my favorite television program, which is whatever football game he is watching at the time. Still, there are Valentine favors that might be considered useful for the prudent shopper. Make “Conversation Hearts” using colored paper, writing the same sorts of silly and sassy messages that are found on the candy versions and then place them all over the house, in the sock drawer, next to the toothpaste, in a shoe, under the pillow. On the night before Valentine’s Day, sneak up and write a message of love on his side of the bathroom mirror with red lipstick. Then put the lipstick on and put kisses all over it. Scatter rose petals in a trail to a special gift. The gift can be something as small as conservation hearts laid out with a sexy

message on the bed. It may seem cliché but any girl will love this and 3 roses is a much better bargain than a dozen. Have a picnic on the living room floor. Enjoy some fried chicken, potato salad and a coke or crackers, cheese and wine. Valentine’s falls when it’s still cold outside so you could throw in the “you’re my ray of sunshine” line. Create a love song playlist and get one of those headphone splitters where you both can enjoy the music through your earbuds. Then give each other a massage. If you need some ideas for music there is a list of 100 romantic and kissing songs on www. coupons4utah.com/lovesongs. Now, in regards to Valentine’s Day and love: I have some advice for those in search of companionship. First, you must recognize the well-established fact that the probability of meeting someone that would be receptive to your advances is directly proportional to you being with another date or with a friend who is more attractive than you and remember, when your romantic competitor is down, kick them. That’s the frugal wisdom for this month.

Hip-hop Assembly Teaches Eastmont Students About Forces, Motion By Julie Slama

S

ir Isaac Newton’s Universal Law of Gravity and Three Laws of Motion were “hip” at a recent Eastmont Middle School assembly as students discovered how science is connected to everyday life through a traveling assembly complete with songs, Velcro walls, extreme wrestlers and other interactive experiments. The Forces in Motion assembly, or FMA Live, produced by NASA and Honeywell, has been traveling for 10 years, reaching 1,000 schools including Eastmont Middle School on Nov. 20. The program is designed to inspire middle school students to explore science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) concepts and careers and introduce them to forces and motion principles that are part of the state core curriculum for middle-schoolers. “STEM is the future of our student learning and of student careers so when I

into a goal. The first was a typical soccer ball, but Kylee discovered it was more challenging to kick a larger one into the goal and impossible to put one in that was the same height as she was. “I couldn’t even move the third one,” Kylee said. “I needed more force.” Kylee and her classmates discovered that force equals mass times acceleration or that she needed to increase her speed and have more weight to kick a human-sized soccer ball into the goal. Science teachers Rita Egbert and DeAnn Kennedy demonstrated to students the same concept as they put on sumo-style suits and tried to force one another down as students’ cheered. Cast member John “JJ” James said these examples are aimed at students to help them understand the concepts in a simplified and memorable way.

Eastmont sixth-grader Sam Evans is stuck to a Velcro wall demonstrating the first of Sir Isaac Newton’s three laws of motion, inertia, during a recent assembly. learned about the assembly, I applied for it to come here because I felt it was important for our Eastmont students to have this opportunity,” Principal Stacy Kurtzhals said. In the assembly, the cast engaged student, teacher and principal volunteers. Kurtzhals took part during the third law, or “for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.” So, when students hit a target that was connected to a machine Kurtzhals sat in, a cornstarch-applesauce concoction spilled on her head, sending students into laughter. Sixth-grader Kylee Richardson, who knew nothing about Sir Isaac Newton’s laws, tried to kick three different-sized soccer balls

“Some of these laws are complicated, abstract topics that can be difficult to explain, and students can become intimidated by them,” he said. “This assembly simplifies them, bringing the concepts to them through music, physics and fun so students will remember them and be inspired to discover that science and engineering is around them every day, everywhere, and in everything.” Although the songs and choreography are designed to inspire students, JJ said the show has been collaborated with NASA educators and provides teachers information and materials for ongoing use in their classrooms. l

High School Regions Are Reassigned: Jordan Stays 5A While Alta Moves to 4A

REGION BREAKDOWN 2015-2017 5A REGION 3

he Utah High School Athletic Association met Dec. 3 to finalize region assignments for the next two years. The decisions made that day split Alta and Jordan from a long-standing region rivalry. Under the new alignment, Jordan will stay in 5A’s Region 3, while Alta will move down to 4A and compete in Region 7. “Jordan has always been a fun, healthy rivalry for us,” Alta athletic director Morgan Brown said. “It was competitive for us, partially because years ago we were split from the Jordan area, so the students knew each other.” Brown hopes that same feeling will carry over into the new region, as Corner Canyon is in the same region as Alta. “Corner Canyon split from us two years ago,” Brown said. “We are still rebounding from that split, sort of like Jordan did when we split from them.” Alta lost a large part of its student base when Corner Canyon opened. The split caused Alta’s enrollment to drop from near the top of the 5A student size to almost the bottom of 4A classifications. At one point, it looked like Jordan

three asked to come down.” With several schools wanting to be moved to 4A, the UHSAA allowed Jordan to stay in 5A. “We were able to stay in the region we are currently in,” Sherwood said. “We enjoy the competition we have had in the region. Plus, it is geographically close. It allows for community participation both here and away and helps us hold down transportation costs.” One of the biggest losses for Alta is the football rivalry that has existed over the past 12 years. Until last year, the annual game between the two schools was usually decided by less than 10 points, and both teams won their share of the games.

Attendance became so large the game was moved to Rice-Eccles Stadium at the University of Utah, and it was named as one of the nation’s top rivalry games. But with Alta’s enrollment size cut by Corner Canyon and Bingham continuing to grow, the rivalry was becoming lopsided. “The size that Bingham is and the size we are now makes it hard to compete with them anymore,” Brown said. “Our players still have the desire to take them on, but we do belong in 4A at this time.” Brown is happy with the region Alta has been placed as he sees it to be competitive. “We have Timpview in our region,” he said. “They have been the best 4A football team for several years. It is going to be a fun, competitive region from top to bottom.” l

Alta Swimming Winning With Smaller Numbers By Ron Bevan

T

he program grew for years, but this year’s Alta swimming team is now down to a smaller number of athletes. The size of the team hasn’t taken the bite out of the program, however. “We have already started off with one win on the girls’ side and two on the boys’ in dual meets,” Alta swimming coach Patrick Thurman said. “We may be small in numbers, but we have swimmers that want to compete.” Alta boasts only 40 swimmers on this year’s team, down from about 75 two years ago. There are 25 girls swimming and 15 boys. But it is in the experienced

Also leading the girls’ side is senior sprint specialist Miranda Spicer, who is also a four-year state qualifier. “Spicer is also on the soccer team,” Thurman said. “She has a very competitive streak in her and has the ability to back it up.” The two leaders on the boys’ side are both juniors. Cameron Horton competed in two events at state last year as a sophomore, while Haven Le Mon appeared in four events. Horton swims the freestyle events, while Le Mon does the breast stroke in medley events, involving all four swimming strokes of backstroke, breast stroke, butterfly and freestyle.

“The two are very competitive but have a bit of a goofy, fun side,” Thurman said. “They help to keep the practices loose but know how to turn it on when the time comes.” With just a handful of experienced swimmers, Thurman is looking to them to bring the new swimmers along and introduce them to Alta’s style of swimming. “The veterans are having fun this year,” he said. “They are also making it fun and welcoming, even for brand new swimmers. Our new swimmers are not just freshmen; we have some juniors and seniors that have come out for the first time.” l

We might not have the swimmers we have had in the past, but we do have quite a few who have state experience.” Leading the girls’ side is captain Eden Jensen.

Where Mountain Meets Urban Let’s Clear the Air with New Transportation Funding

along with vehicle fuel efficiency improvements, we would reduce vehicle emissions 53% by 2040.

C

ities throughout the state are joining together to educate their residents on the need for new transportation funding. I’ve chosen to join this cause because I am fully aware of the fact that our actual transportation costs far outweigh current state road funding, meaning we supplement roughly $2.4 million a year annually from our general fund. This is simply unsustainable and means we, as a city, will not only fall further behind every year on new construction and maintenance, but we will also have less money for other vital needs, such as public safety. As we head into the winter season, I also know that new transportation funding can and will help us solve some of our air quality issues. Additional transportation funding will provide solutions for cleaner air including: Reducing congestion on the roads, which in turn minimizes idling while in traffic. Currently, vehicle emissions are responsible for more than half of Utah’s air pollution. By having the necessary funding to complete the projects outlined in the Unified Transportation Plan,

For more information, visit www.utahtransportation.org.

Increasing transit accessibility making its use viable for more Utahns. A comprehensive transportation approach recognizes we will not be able to meet growth demands without addressing traffic congestion, road and bridge maintenance, transit improvements and safe walking and biking paths. Allowing for active transportation funding such as bike lanes, sidewalks and trails that can be alternatives to cars. Additional investment reduces cars on the roads, thus improving air quality. Our new city center plan, The Cairns, is also an ideal example of creating a live, work, play downtown where all services, including transit, are within walking distance, reducing the need for a vehicle. As the legislative session approaches, we are educating legislators on every city’s need for new transportation funding and asking them to look at possible solutions. Utah’s population is expected to double by 2040. Unless we work together as elected officials and citizens, we will not be able to meet our current needs, much less the growth to come.

Rockin’ Around the Real Christmas Tree By Peri Kinder

N

ow that we’re empty nesters, my husband has tentatively suggested that we destroy Christmas. We’ll be cuddling in front of the TV when he whispers, “Do you think it’s time we invested in a fake tree?” “No.” “But a real tree stresses you out each year.” “That’s not stress, it’s the Christmas spirit,” I reply. “I didn’t know the Christmas spirit was so grouchy.” A real Christmas tree has always been the center of my holiday decorating. Growing up, we’d hang stockings, put out Advent calendars and display nativity scenes, but the season didn’t officially start until the tree was plunked into a bucket of boiling Mountain Dew. (We had the only caffeine-addicted tree on the street.) After dad strung the lights and went to hide in his bedroom, we’d attack the tree like a whirling tornado, fighting over who got to hang favorite ornaments. Once we were in bed, mom and dad would redecorate and hang tinsel, one silvery strand at a time, on every branch. I’ve carried on that tradition (minus the tinsel that would cling to our clothes) to create our own perfect Christmas tree. Our holiday tree has never been a symbol of opulence. We’ve never had a Winter Wonderland tree with white fluffy reindeer frolicking through snowy silk ribbons, dangling with sparkly Swarovski crystals and silver-sequined snowflakes.

Instead, our tree’s branches are weighed down by homemade angels with ratted-out hair and lopsided halos, clothespin reindeers tangled around hand beaded wreaths, and South Park characters rubbing shoulders with the baby Jesus. Decades of school photo ornaments hang amid the evergreen boughs, detailing years of missing teeth, questionable hairstyles and teenage angst. And loved ones who have passed away are remembered with ornaments ranging from dancing shoes to teardrop prisms. Put together, it’s an explosion of bad taste that would make Martha Stewart cry. But it’s not just a Christmas tree—it’s a family tree representing years of holiday memories. The finished product is only half of the story. Finding the perfect Christmas tree is a tradition/catastrophe I anticipate/ loathe every December. Hence my husband’s misguided “fake tree” suggestion. He just doesn’t understand that a

Buy One Get One

plastic tree is a soulless imitation of holiday beauty, and the first step to anarchy. Each year, I schedule a day to pick out a tree, and, without fail, it’s the coldest, snowiest, iciest weekend of the month. My youngest daughter tags along to make sure I get it right and to help hold the tree on top of the car once the loosely-tied knots start to unravel—much like my mind. We scour tree lots, looking for an evergreen that is devoid of bare spots, more alive than dead and not full of spiders. (Don’t ask. It’s a horrible holiday memory.) We also try to avoid tree lots managed by the town drunk. (That’s another Christmas/horror saga involving a leering, inebriated tree salesperson with a chain saw.) Once the tree arrives safely home, we discover the 10-foot tree won’t fit into our 8-foot living room. We attack it with dull handsaws and scissors until it fits, and then, in a flurry of Christmas chaos, we adorn it with lights and ornaments, and top it with a rickety angel, balanced precariously on the highest branch. When the dust settles, we’ll cuddle by the decorated tree, watching Christmas lights twinkle while the snow softly falls. It’s the epitome of holiday perfection. Until my husband whispers, “What do you think about having Christmas dinner at Village Inn?” Could be a long, cold winter in our home. l
