A CULTURALLY RESPONSIVE COMMUNITY HOLDS Refugee Cultural Night By Nikki Crown | n.crown@mycityjournals.com
O
n their website, Granite School District states it is a culturally responsive community with culturally responsive classrooms. That statement is beautifully supported in their Refugee Cultural Nights, a collaboration between Granite School District, Utah Refugee Connection, and the Salt Lake Mayor’s Office. The Refugee Cultural Night held on Sept. 5 focused on the cultures of Ethiopia and Eritrea. The presentation was highlighted with humorous videos and anecdotes making the evening not only educational, but entertaining. The night was spent learning that Ethiopia has 87 ethnic groups, 100 languages, their own number system and their own calendar. In Ethiopia, it’s actually 2011. At the end of the presentation the participants were treated to traditional Ethiopian dancing. Though the dancing was simple, the dancers radiated joy in each step. As they danced they encouraged members of the audience to join them. Among those who joined the dancers were Maria Hopkin and her two girls, 7-year-old Afifa and 10-year-old Delia, who both said their favorite part of the evening was the dancing. Hopkin and her family live in Eagle Mountain and attended the Cultural Night as part of their home schooling social studies. Hopkin appreciated how educational the evening was and said, “I thought it was really cool to see the refugee camps and learn how long term they are.” One of the event’s presenters, Rahwa Gebresilase, came from Eritrea, a country in Africa that borders Ethiopia to the north. Rahwa spent about six years in Shibelba, a refugee camp, before finally coming to America. About the refugee camp, she said, “It was too hot, I mean the only good thing was that you know a lot of people, they’re family and cousins. But it was actually a bit easier than America was at first because it was so hard to learn the language and culture here. Life in the camp was life in Eritrea. It was kind of the same, but it was just hard, because we had nothing.” Another presenter was Yordanos Beyene, or Jojo as she likes to be called. She is originally from Ethiopia, her family came to the United States when she was about 14 on her dad’s work visa. Jojo mentioned how hard of a cultural adjustment it was. “Language, culture, pretty much I think everything was hard,” she said. In spite of the difficulties adjusting, Jojo went on to get a degree in sociology and human resources and then a master’s in educational leadership and policy. She currently works at the University of Utah as a college advisor for the College of Health. She got involved with the refugee program because she said, “It

makes me happy to be around people that have the same experience as me. I like to get the Ethiopian community together.” To that end she runs a Saturday program where she says her main roles involve “helping refugee high school students with their applications to go to college, financial aid, pretty much everything and anything they want or need.” They meet at the refugee center at Salt Lake Community College’s Meadowbrook campus. She also wrote a grant from the mayor’s office and received enough money to put on an Ethiopian New Year — Enkutatash. The event was held Sept. 9 at the International Peace Gardens. Jojo attributes her success to the mentor assigned to their
family when they first came to Logan, Utah. “I’m where I’m supposed to be because of her,” she said. Amy Harmer, the outreach coordinator at Utah Refugee Connection, encouraged participants to be that difference in someone else’s life. “Resilience is all around the world, but opportunities are not. We can help them,” she said. The evening ended with traditional Ethiopain food and encouragement to learn about your neighbors, be a friend, a mentor or a volunteer. The next Refugee Cultural Night will be held at the Granite Education Center (2500 S. State St.) on Nov. 7 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. l

T
he Ethiopian community in the Salt Lake area celebrated the ushering in of a new year on Sept. 8. According to the Ethiopian calendar, Sept. 11 is the start of a new year. Ethiopia follows the Julian calendar which uses the calculations of Annius, a 5th-century monk, who placed the Annuciation of Christ eight years later than our calendar. Meaning, at their celebration, they were welcoming in the year 2011. The celebration was free to the public and held at the Sugar Beet Pavilion in Sugar House Park. The program included many of the traditional things an Ethiopian New Year would typically hold including a coffee ceremony, dancing, games for the children and lots of yellow daisies. The yellow daisies are a symbol of a new life for the Ethiopian people. Talile who came to America from Ethiopia when she was 12 said, “Mid-September is when the heavy rain finally stopped and the sun finally shines lighting up the yellow daisies in the hills and meadows of the Ethiopia.” The celebration went from 3-9 p.m. showcasing all the beautiful food, dress and entertainment of Ethiopia. Jojo, the organizer of the event said, “Our culture in unique, you’re not going to find it anywhere else.” This was especially true in both the food and the dress. The dancing was highlighted by the beautiful habesha kemis or Ethiopian dress all of the dancers wore, many adorned with yellow daisies. The buffet held, among other things, their traditional flat bread, injera, along with hambasha. Dibabe Hope Newman, one of the dancers said, “We love our culture and want everyone to be a part of it.” Newman works for the International Rescue Committee (IRC), a refugee resettlement agency here in Utah. She said, “I started college not knowing what I wanted to do. My second year I realized I needed help, and someone to guide me, and I didn’t really have anyone. That’s when I realized I wanted to be that someone.”

Utah Children’s Theatre explains Shakespeare in an easy way By Cami Mondeaux | c.mondeaux@mycityjournals.com
U
tah Children’s Theatre in South Salt Lake is holding their annual Shakespeare Festival for Children and Adults with Short Attention Spans running from Aug. 18 until Sept. 29. This festival is designed specifically for young children and for anyone interested in Shakespeare but lacks the motivation to sit through a three-hour play or agonize over deciphering Shakespeare’s prose and language. This is the seventh year the Utah Children’s Theater has held this festival, performing different Shakespeare plays each year. This year, the puppet show brushes upon multiple plays while the mainstage performance is a rendition of “Twelfth Night.” The performances focus on keeping the plot of the play while making the language and interactions easier to understand. Larissa Anderson, director of The Puppet Show and the actor portraying Olivia in “Twelfth Night,” said that doing this creates a different mode of storytelling that creates an interesting and fun cultural experience for everyone to enjoy. “[These shows] are not just for children,” said Anderson. “It really is geared towards the family.” Anderson has been a part of the Utah Children’s Theater for years, directing and acting in different productions. For this festival, Anderson both directed and acted in two separate productions enriching her experience. She said that
while The Puppet Show and mainstage performance demanded the same amount of work from her, the experiences were completely different. “The Puppet Show is for the youngest children to get an understanding,” Anderson explained. “It is a really different medium.” The performances at the festival utilize comedic strategies and exciting theatrical elements to keep the audience engaged. The plays are set in different time periods and places in order to keep the show unique and fun. These techniques “allow us to hit all the highlights of the show without getting bogged down by the sheer length of Shakespeare’s plays,” wrote Lucas Vayo, the actor portraying Orsino in “Twelfth Night,” in an email. Vayo has also been a part of the Utah Children’s Theatre for years, acting in productions dating back to 2012. During these five years of acting, he has participated in the Shakespeare festival every summer. “Shakespeare’s comedies have some of the most entertaining characters and plot devices of any plays around, while the tragedies can elicit emotion like no other,” Vayo said. The Utah Children’s Theatre is designed to bring an enjoyable experience for all. The theater not only caters to children, but also appeals to adults who just want a fun performance. “This theater is a real hidden gem in Salt Lake,” said Vayo. “It’s definitely worth everyone’s time to come see shows here.” l

Female-friendly filmmakers from SLC show their group powers at FanX By Spencer W. Belnap | s.belnap@mycityjournals.com
A
company of female filmmakers from Salt Lake City is starting to make a name for themselves in the world of YouTube and fan films. Apple Juice Productions strives to give women in Utah a shot at filmmaking and expand the community’s film scene. It was founded when a group of friends wanted to create a web series based on Jane Austen’s “Northanger Abbey.” Since 2016, they have produced dozens of videos, including that Jane Austen web adaptation, a series inspired by characters from “The Babysitter’s Club,” and also a “Harry Potter” series of fan films. They achieved a milestone this year with a screening and panel participations at Salt Lake’s popular FanX event. “I grew up in Sugar House and attended Highland High,” Creative Director and Founder Amanda Taylor said. “I was in drama and made films with friends. When two of my good friends came to me with the idea for a web series, we knew production in Utah would be easier than in Los Angeles and New York where they lived.” The friends formed Apple Juice Productions, or AJP, and their mission of “creating refreshing narrative stories for women, by women” was born. Their videos have gained thousands of followers on YouTube, and tallied more than half a million views. Dozens of people have participated in their productions, with 75 percent of them being female. “We need more women in the film industry to give us different stories and broader perspectives,” Technical Director Kailee Brown said. “If you want something, go out and make it happen for yourself. There are so many resources out there now. Use those resources and learn whatever you can so you can get better every day.” Taylor and Brown and others all wear multiple hats on a
production. For the most part they shoot on nights and weekends, and work around the schedules of their volunteer actors. They’ll film at group member’s houses or local businesses. AJP shot the film, “Lily Evans and the Stroke of Midnight” around Labor Day weekend last year and released it in time for Halloween 2017. As “Harry Potter” fans will know, Halloween is the anniversary of James and Lily Potter’s deaths. It is the first of its kind of fan films to feature a female lead. This is the project that was screened at 2018’s FanX, the event formerly known as Salt Lake Comic Con. “All our content falls in the nerdy fan girl family,” Taylor said. “After years of waving our hands in the faces of the powers that be, we finally offered up ‘Stroke of Midnight’ and caught their attention. We’re honored for a screening, but also to represent women on our two panels about feminism in the geek sphere.” The women hope to attract more fans and more filmmakers from their presence at FanX. The weekend in September provided ample opportunity to spread their mission and continue their progress in the film and fandom communities. The panels they participated on included themes such as “Comics for Girls Afraid to Comic” and “Feminism in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.” With new doors opening up, and opportunities to show their films to a broader audience, AJP has no plans of slowing down. They will release the final installment of the Lily Evans series, “Lily Evans and the Magic Hour” on Halloween of this year. They also have some plans that are in the writing and pitching phases. Wherever their imaginations take them next, they invite any young and female aspiring filmmakers to contact them. Some of them studied film in school or outside programs, but some
are self-taught or gained most of their experience with the AJP group. They can be reached through their website, www.applejuicepro.com, or their YouTube channel, www.youtube.com/applejuiceproductions. “I can’t stress enough how important it is to have a supportive group around you,” Taylor said. “We’ve got the whole female-friendly thing on lock. It can be scary to jump in and start, but we’ve already done that, so come join us.” l

Cottonwood girls soccer optimistic, moving forward with new coach By Brian Shaw | brian@mycityjournals.com
O
n a team largely filled with new players and a new head coach the Cottonwood Colts girls soccer team continues to endure some hard lessons as the season goes on. Dominic Militello stepped down from his position as head coach this past summer in order to focus on his consulting business—handing the reins of the Colts program to his longtime assistant, Kailee Sandberg Jorgensen. While the Colts under Jorgensen have yet to dole out any 10-0 beat-downs—such as the two they administered last season under the tutelage of Militello who guided Cottonwood to three wins in 2017—they have shown some signs of life this season. “This season is a building season for us; seven of our varsity starters are sophomores,” said Jorgensen. “We’re working to redefine our version of success. I’m very proud of the girls and their daily effort to change the culture.” Makayla Montoya netted for Cottonwood in a closer-than-thought 7-1 loss to Jordan early on in region play—followed by a highly competitive 4-0 defeat to a talented Timpview squad sitting near the top of the Region 7 standings in a two-game home stand Aug. 28 and Aug. 30. “The girls had a lot of fun playing against Timpview,” added Jorgensen. “They play with heart and give effort every game, but the game against Timpview has by far been our best game
in regards to effort.” Cottonwood continued region play on Sept. 6 and Sept. 11 traveling to Brighton and to Alta—two teams also considered locks for state tournament play. The Colts struggled in both of those games, falling behind 6-0 to Brighton by the half before coming together more cohesively on defense to finish the game strong in an 8-0 loss. Against Alta, the Colts again fell behind early, trailing 5-0 at the break before solidifying their defense more to drop another match by the score of 8-0. While the amount of goals the Colts have allowed is rather troubling, the good news is that with such a young team, the Colts have nowhere to go but upward as they continue their season. A home game with unbeaten Corner Canyon, a team many consider to be among the best in Class 5A, was up next on Sept. 13. Cottonwood lost that game 10-0, allowing eight goals to be scored in the first half and again Cottonwood tightened down its defense in the second half to stop Corner Canyon. But with the second half of the season and lots of soccer still to be played, the Colts and their new coach will continue to have optimism. “We have four varsity starters who are injured right now, so honestly what I would like

to change is for them to get healthy and be able to compete,” said Jorgensen. “My coaching staff and I are lucky that we have the girls we
do. They play their hearts out every game, no matter the score.” l

Granite School District unveils 40 buses with Idle Free Heat technology By Whitney Cox | w.cox@mycityjournals.com
G
ranite School District unveiled the first 40 buses in Utah that have been installed with Idle Free Heat technology. “Idle Free Heat is a simple solution to a common problem,” said Joel Ewell, inventor of Idle Free Heat technology. “We idle because we don’t want to be cold. Idle Free Heat directly addresses this problem by allowing bus drivers to turn off their engines and still keep warm. This is all done without using a drop of fuel or producing one ounce of pollution.” Air quality is an ongoing problem in Utah and idling school buses contribute. A single school bus idling for an hour emits 81 grams of nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, PM10, PM2.5 and other pollutants. Not only will the new technology help decrease pollution, but it will also help save on fuel and extend the life of the engines. “Idle Free was born out of my desire to eliminate waste. I hate waste,” said Ewell. Almost two years ago, Joel and his wife Jessica first presented their idea at the annual Clear the Air Challenge. Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) holds a contest annually and grants money to the winners, helping make their ideas become reality. “UCAIR grant program provides funding for businesses and organizations that want to be part of the solution but do not have the means to make it become a reality,” said Thom Carter,

executive director at UCAIR. Rep. Mike Winder first saw Idle Free Heat technology while acting as a judge at the UCAIR competition and he attended the unveiling to show his support. “It’s only 40 buses in Granite School District today, but I hope that grows to be more buses around the state and around the country,” said Winder. The UCAIR grants program began five years ago and has since awarded more than 47 grants, totaling more than 1.1 million dollars. UCAIR provided the grant funding in 2017 for the Idle Free Heat technology to be installed in the Granite School District buses. “I am proud to be a part of it…It is our role to make sure that each Utahn knows their role in making sure that Utah lives up to its potential. Since everyone plays a part in air quality problem, everyone must be a part of the solution. And we are putting our money where our mouth is,” said Carter. At the unveiling, Ewell expressed his gratitude to UCAIR and his passion for clean air. “It’s great to see something you worked so hard on actually come to fruition and start benefitting the community…I wouldn’t be here today without UCAIR. They really do put their money where their mouth is,” said Ewell. If there was one theme at the unveiling, it was revealed by each speaker passionately challenging every single person in Utah to

do their part for cleaner air. From Carter challenging every family in the district to come up with practical solutions this school year, to Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox warning us that the progress Utah has made toward cleaner air is not nearly enough. “Government has an important role to play in helping clean our air, but I’m here to tell you
that there is nothing that government or legislature can do that is going to solve this problem. It’s going to take every single one of us in this state making thousands of small choices for ourselves to actually clean the air up and make it safer every day for our children to go outside,” said Cox. l

CITY NEWSLETTER Civic Engagement – Good for Community and You
For most people, most of the time, voting and civic engagement do not tend to be an important priority. As Mayor and a single mother of three sons I get it – people are busy working, caring for family members, keeping up their homes, managing school, healthcare and other matters. But as Election Day 2018 nears, I am Mayor Cherie Wood thinking a lot about our precious democracy. While we often think of voting as selecting our elected officials and deciding on ballot propositions – it really is more than that. It is an act of good citizenship and an opportunity to have a voice and make a difference. I urge you to vote, to let your concerns rise up into civic conversations. Beyond voting, there are other important ways to influence local government. Nearly everything we do each day is touched by government in some way. Roads, parks, water, education, even our garbage. Many of these issues are discussed and decided upon at a local level. The good news is that local leaders want to hear from you, and we are just a phone call, email, social media post or text away.

to talk about issues that directly impact your quality of life – issues like public safety, parks, water and sewer, and current developments like the homeless resource center. Our Planning Commission also meets twice a month (1st and 3rd Thursdays) to discuss land use issues like new residential developments, businesses and office buildings. You can attend and just listen, or take the chance to speak your mind during the public comment periods. You can have the agendas emailed to your inbox to see if there are topics that are of interest to you. Simply email the City Recorder at cburton@sslc.com to request. If meetings aren’t your style, think about other ways to stay informed and involved. Attend a Neighborhood Watch meeting or Coffee with a Cop held monthly on the first Wednesday. Join us for a free BBQ dinner at one of our “Neighborhood Nights.” The final one is October 9 from 6-8 pm at the Columbus Center. Or join me for a bike ride around our city’s terrific trail system each Monday night in October weather permitting (see my Facebook page for details), we will be riding the Parley’s Trail and discussing new development. In September, we rode the Jordan River Trail and saw the beauty of the Jordan River firsthand. With the weather getting cooler, I’ll be looking for new ways to engage with residents and would love your suggestions. But first, VOTE!

In a recent council meeting I was disheartened by a citizen’s comment. He mentioned there isn’t anything happening in South Salt Lake and all we do as a city is take. His comment was referring to the proposed Stormwater utility fee. Despite mixed feelings on the storm water fee, there truly are a lot of great things happening in SSL. I want to share a few with you now. • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •

There are good things happening in this City if we care to find them. It’s easy to fixate on only the bad things. However, there is just as much to be thankful for. The same is true that there is much more we have in common than we don’t. The responsibility to find the good in the world is incumbent upon us. There is good in the world, but we need to take personal responsibility to find it. And if we don’t find the good we’re looking for, then we must help lead the way. That’s why I chose to be involved with my City and run for city council. I made a personal choice to make change happen and serve my community. I applaud the gentleman who showed up to the council meeting to express his feelings. I do hope in parallel with expressing our opinions and being involved, we can step back and recognize all the good in the world, the city and people. The times in which we can’t, I hope we help lead the way to make the change we wish to see. Note: Opinions expressed here may not be representative of all Members of the City Council.

Public Safety Illegal Camping Our Police Department continues to address the threat to public health and safety and the environment created by the numerous homeless and transient camps throughout the City of South Salt Lake. While we are not the only City dealing with this issue, we have seen a significant increase in this activity; the problem has become more serious. Several areas of the city have become regular locations for illegal encampments that become a haven for dumping, and illegal activity, including criminal violations for narcotics, alcohol, weapons, stolen property, thefts and vandalism. These camps also bring human waste and garbage that end up in our creek, streams and the Jordan River, creating a significant health hazard for humans and wildlife. Human-set wildfires are also more common. The burden on the city to patrol, enforce, and cleanup these sites is growing, but we are not backing down. Our trained officers recognize there are many challenges related to this issue. We work closely with mental health professionals,
social workers and our community partners to recognize the personal issues surrounding each situation and provide resources and services to those in need prior to enforcement action. We truly want to help people who are suffering. Some pursue a path with help to get off the streets. Unfortunately, many are ‘resource resistant’ and choose to continue to live on the Police Chief Jack Carruth streets and in encampments, some on private property and some on public property. We have assigned officers to the Jordan River Trail and other locations throughout the City to enforce illegal camping violations and to prevent new camps. Pictured is just one of many sites near the Jordan River. We also find open bathroom areas with human waste and garbage dumps. The latest clean-up operation was conducted in mid-September. Officers inspected dozens of illegal camp sites on the Jordan River and contacted the people camping where possible. A total of 21 arrests were made and over 12,000 pounds of trash were removed. We appreciate the support of Salt Lake County and the County Health Department in making this possible. We need your help. If you are experiencing an illegal camp on your property or discover one on public property, please contact the South Salt Lake Police Department. Please do not approach the camp for any reason as these camps can be very dangerous. Officers have found some camps intentionally booby-trapped.
PAL Thanksgiving Dinner Kits PAL Youth, Police Officers, Firefighters and community/business partners are gathering raw Thanksgiving Dinner kits for South Salt Lake residents in need.

Fire Prevention Week October 7-13, 2018
Each year we nationally observe prevention week in commemoration of the Great Chicago Fire, which began on October 8, 1871, and caused devastating damage. In a fire, mere seconds can mean the difference between a safe escape and a tragedy. The majority of fire deaths in North America happen at home. During 2016, South Salt Lake experienced 112 total fires: 24 structure, 16 vehicle, 65 outside and 7 other fires. Today’s home fires burn faster than ever. In a typical home fire, you may have as little as one to two minutes to escape safely from the time the smoke alarm sounds. There are multiple ways to be fire smart. CREATE A HOME ESCAPE PLAN Home fire escape planning and drills are an essential part of fire safety. A home fire escape plan needs to be developed and practiced before a fire strikes. INSTALL SMOKE ALARMS Install smoke alarms in every sleeping room, outside each separate sleeping area, and on every level of the home, including the basement. Working smoke alarms cut the risk of dying in a home fire in half. PRACTICE COOKING SAFETY Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. The leading cause of fires in the kitchen is unattended cooking. HEAT YOUR HOME SAFELY Heating equipment is one of the leading causes of home fires during the winter months.

Community Happenings ART CLASSES BRING OUT THE BEST IN US South Salt Lake Arts Council began offering free art classes for adults as a way to invest in people. The classes are taught by professional artists, but attended by ordinary people who want to experience the joy of creating art. The benefits of creative activities are well known, but the testimony of students says it best. Here is one response from a student in a recent class. “The mosaic class was a wonderful experience for me. I signed up not knowing whether I would be able to go through with it because it would require me to leave my house and go out where there would
be people. I tend to isolate myself and try to avoid public situations. I am so happy that I was able to go through with it. Doing the mosaic project gave me confidence that I can do something meaningful. I am so happy with what I made. The other class members said they liked my picture and other people I have shown it to have liked it too. I have accepted these positive comments without brushing them off like I usually would. Thank you for giving me this incredible opportunity and helping me feel that I am competent and capable and I can survive social situations.”

20 safety tips for trick-or-treaters
Y
ou’re never too old to trick-or-treat (unless you are 35 and going by yourself, then yes, you are too old to trick-or-treat). But being safe knows no age limits, especially on a night when most people are wearing disguises. While it’s time to get your costume and candy bag ready, preparation of another kind is required for kid and adult alike. Here are some tips to stay safe this Halloween. 1. Avoid trick-or-treating alone. Walk in groups or with a trusted adult. 2. Costume accessories such as swords and knives should be short, soft and flexible. 3. Examine all treats for choking hazards and tampering before eating them. And as difficult as it may be, limit the amount of treats you eat. 4. Beware the homemade treats made by strangers. Better to eat only factory-wrapped treats. 5. Walk from house to house, don’t run. Doing so with a flashlight will help you see and others to see you. 6. Test makeup in a small area before applying. Then remove it before sleeping to prevent possible skin or eye irritation. 7. Look both ways before crossing the street. Do we even need to say this one? 8. Only visit well-lit houses. 9. Do not enter a home without a trusted adult. 10. Never accept rides from strangers. Stranger danger is a real thing.
11. By not wearing decorative contact lenses, you lower the risk for serious eye injury. 12. Wear well-fitted costumes, masks and shoes to avoid blocked vision, trips, falls and relentless mockery from your peers. 13. Drive extra safely on Halloween. Popular trick-or-treating hours are 5:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. so be especially alert during those hours. Slow down in residential neighborhoods. We all know how excited kids can be. Enter and exit driveways slowly and carefully. 14. Remind children to watch for cars turning or backing up and to not dart into the street or between parked cars. 15. Put your electronic devices down as you walk around. 16. Keep costumes bright, or add reflective tape, to ensure kids are easier to spot. 17. Be careful next to candles or Jack-o’-lanterns. 18. Keep an eye for allergies. If someone has serious allergies or food sensitivities, read any unfamiliar labels before handing over the candy. 19. Brush your teeth. Candy is sticky and cavities will scare you. 20. You can maximize your candy intake by planning your route. Stick to places you are familiar with so you can also circle back around to Halloween headquarters. l

Cottonwood football victory over Hillcrest first for program in two years By Brian Shaw | brian.shaw@mycityjournals.com
I
t has been a long time since the Cottonwood Colts football team has tasted victory. According to the record books, the Colts last won on Sept. 16, 2016 defeating Copper Hills 33-13. To put things in perspective, 2016 was also the year in which Donald Trump was elected president. So for Cottonwood to have its next win during 2018 midterm elections, well, it’s been a while indeed. If second-year head coach Bart Bowen or the Colts team has anything to say about it though, it won’t be another two years before Cottonwood wins again. The Colts 21-19 come-from-behind victory over Hillcrest on Sept. 7 snapped a 17-game losing streak. Cottonwood actually had to rally from a 13-0 deficit to take the historic victory. “I thought we came out and we didn’t start out too well. Our offense didn’t do well in the first half,” said Bowen. “However, our special teams and defense played very well, and we thought if we could do a few things on offense in the second half things would turn around.” Things did, and how. In the second quarter—just after the Colts had coughed up their second touchdown to the Huskies—on homecoming, senior wide receiver/defensive back Lawrence Lokonobei fielded the ensuing kickoff deep in Cottonwood territory. From the 2-yard-line, Lokonobei—a speedster who also features on the Colts track team in the spring—found a gap and blasted through it. Moments later, the senior was in the clear, sprinting for what would be a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. The score cut Hillcrest’s
lead to 13-7 and gave the Colts life going into the half. “I’d be shocked if teams keep kicking to him so I’d expect to have to change our philosophy a little bit,” added Bowen. “He’s a game changer.” As for what Lokonobei’s return did for the team’s mindset, Bowen said it gave them hope. In the half, his coaching staff told the team, “Defensively, we said keep doing what you’re doing. Our special teams played very well minus the blocked punt fumble in the second quarter, and we just told them to keep playing hard.” Bowen added that the message to the team was just very positive and he felt like the Colts were in a very good position to get back in the football game, down by just 6 points. Rejuvenated by that electrifying second quarter return by Lokonobei and stellar defensive play that forced several turnovers—two interceptions by Lokonobei himself—Cottonwood took its first lead of the game when after a Hillcrest turnover, senior quarterback Hunter Workman found sophomore Joseph Madrigal for a 12-yard touchdown pass. That gave the Colts a 14-13 lead after the PAT—a lead that the Colts would hold for a small stretch of the fourth quarter before Hillcrest answered to take back the lead at 19-14 after a failed two-point conversion. But the Colts would force yet another turnover to take over the ball deep in Hillcrest territory towards the end of the game. “In the second half we had to make adjustments on offense because they were sending seven guys into the box,” explained Bowen. “We

thought we would send our QB out on a few running plays and he managed to get quite a few rushing yards out of it. We finally got just enough out of our passing game as well to balance things more.” Workman ran for 85 yards on 13 carries and threw for another 79, giving Cottonwood a dual-threat QB who could be hard to handle as the season rolls on. With about two minutes left on homecoming, Workman took the center snap and handed the ball off to senior running back Kobe Grover, who darted through the pile and into the end zone for the winning score. After the PAT from Ben Ostler, the Colts were ahead by the score of 21-19, which would
turn out on this sunny Friday in Cottonwood Heights just at the foot of the towering, majestic Wasatch Mountains to be the final outcome. Students, Colts fans and players soon after poured onto the field to celebrate Cottonwood’s first win in almost two years. For the Colts, it was a night to remember as defensive lineman and senior Sammy Duran led the team with eight tackles and was also named homecoming king. Viking Miller added four QB hurries and caused a fumble recovery that led to the go-ahead touchdown. “They’re pretty positive about the future now,” said Bowen, who himself enjoyed his first win as a head coach. l
Cottonwood volleyball off to a roaring start By Brian Shaw | brian.shaw@mycityjournals.com
I
n a year in which much is expected of the Cottonwood Colts volleyball team—last year the Colts went deep into the state tournament—the team is picking up right where it left off. The Colts have galloped through their preseason slate thus far, racking up victories in four of their first five matches. While that is no indicator that Cottonwood will continue to do the same when it begins what will likely be a brutal region stretch of games featuring two matches apiece against the likes of Alta, Corner Canyon, Brighton and Jordan—not to mention Timpview—the Colts like what they’ve seen so far. “So far, the season is off to a great start,” said head coach Paige Allred. “The girls are working extremely hard and it is paying off.” Cottonwood kicked off the 2018 season with a 3-1 victory over Kearns on Aug. 21. The Colts won the first set before dropping the second, which served as a wake-up call of sorts as Cottonwood went on to win the next two sets and the match. On Aug. 23, the Colts traveled to Magna to take on Cyprus. In this match, Cottonwood would not be denied, galloping to a 3-0 victory in straight sets, taking their record to a sparkling 2-0 on the season. Cottonwood would meet its match on Aug. 28 at Granger,

however. Another trip west for the Colts met with a different fate this time as Cottonwood would lose the match to the Lancers in three straight sets—the first and only time all season that the Colts have lost more than one set in any match. “Our loss to Granger taught us that we need to be more aggressive with our offense and continue to work on our blocking and passing game,” said Allred. “We have a younger team so we need to learn how to work together in order to reach a shared goal.” For Allred, the match against Granger that served as a learning experience for her team and Cottonwood would help her young but talented squad bounce back the next match, at Hillcrest. The trip to Midvale to take on the Huskies proved the perfect medicine for Cottonwood, who roared ahead to easily win the match three sets to one over Hillcrest. The Colts then wrapped up their preseason at home against Olympus on Sept. 6. They again were victorious, winning the match by a score of three sets to one. At 4-1 overall and going into region play, the Colts are right where they want to be, according to Allred, improving upon certain aspects of their game as they aim to repeat and maybe even
better their state tournament run from last year. “Our team’s goals [as we start region play] would be to continue to work towards cohesive play and better communication amongst teammates.” l

Local vendors get their geek on at FanX By Holly Vasic | h.vasic@mycityjournals.com
C
reative cosplay, kids of all ages, and scifi die-hards can be seen at Comic Con in downtown Salt Lake City every September. Now commonly referred to as FanX, the Thursday through Saturday event at the Salt Palace Expo Center features celebrities, artist booths, gizmos and gadgets, and, of course, costumes for sale. Local businesses revel in this time as well, especially the more fantastical. South Jordan resident Shauna Lower, owner of Magic Moments Gift, had a booth at the event for the third year this year. Lower describes herself as a lover of sci-fi (ever since watching “Star Wars” at age 13 in 1977), fantasy, and sewing hence her products range from blankets to reusable lunch sacks. She is passionate about the environment and creating as little waste as possible and has implemented that into her business model. Lower, a grandmother of five, began her business nine years ago. “I was using a 30-yearold sewing machine, so one day as I was struggling to make my latest grandson a blanket, my son surprised me with a new sewing machine. That was the day I started sewing like I had never sewn before, but very soon my grandbabies had more blankets, bibs, quilts and pillowcases, in all of their favorite things, than they needed. Since I didn’t feel like I was finished sewing, I started selling my products on Facebook yard sales.” Lower’s unique way of utilizing soft
Page 18 | October 2018
minky fabric makes her quilts and throws a big hit. Of course, her use of fun super hero and Star Wars patterns you can’t find anywhere else helps, too. Big conventions have their pros and cons for local businesses. Lower maintains an Etsy shop and finds that during FanX people are in a buying mood, ready to purchase cool, unique items like what she offers. The down side is that booth space rental is limited and pricey. “For a local vendor, making her own product, with a small profit margin and a bulky product, the larger booth is not economical and the smaller booth is difficult to have and show enough product to even break even,” Lower explained. She shared a booth this year with another vendor to make the situation work best. Breezy Soles Style, another local business who has been at FanX for the last couple of years, is what owner Devanie Stout calls a charity for profit. She loans the inventory, at no upfront cost, and employees receive 50 to 60 percent from every sale. “I can typically get them into events free or low cost,” said Stout. Her products range from handmade items to, what she called, “cool, lower priced geek items that tend to fly off the shelves.” The plethora of pocket watches with Deadpool’s face or Superman logos caught the attention of many little boys. “I do it for fun and to help others, if I make a little profit along the

way it usually goes to help pay someone else’s bills or help others,” Stout said. For events like FanX, Stout also helps employees or volunteers dress to impress. “We have six different Pokémon mascot costumes,” she said. Pikachu is the favorite. An abundance of cool things to buy was
at FanX goers’ fingertips like cell phone cases, mystery boxes, or funny T-shirts. Many booth workers noted this year was the busiest they have seen thus far in FanX history. Another successful Comic Con for Salt Lake City in the books, until next year. l

South Salt Lake softball tournament ends with SSL Old Timers repeating as champs By Brian Shaw | brian@mycityjournals.com
W
ith so many teams and so much competition to be had, the city of South Salt Lake Parks and Recreation Department had to come up with a viable solution to an issue to its ever-growing adult summer softball league. “It was so good in our league this year that we had 12 teams enter,” said Dustin Permann, recreation coordinator. The SSL Old Timers, headed up by a longtime employee in the city’s own Public Works Department and also featuring the guy’s friends, son-in-law and grandson, ended up winning the tournament again and before that, that 12-team league title yet again after a tight race for the top spot. The Old Timers have now not only kept winning in the family, so to speak, they’ve won all three tournaments they’ve entered and two out of three league championships over the three years the tournament and league have been in existence. Talk about a dynasty. But the outcome didn’t come without challenges. In order to get all 12 teams on the field in one week, Permann had to devise a solution. Permann explained that having this many teams presented a unique problem. Because three teams play at one time, of course—one bats while one plays in the infield and the other in the outfield—getting all 12 teams on the field in one week requires some interesting algorithms to solve. “Randomly every team plays each other,” explained Permann. “For this to occur in one week, everyone has to play each other evenly, so we’ve had to come up with our own strategies.” For Permann and his staff, this is where it gets interesting. In league play, Permann had everybody play everybody for the first half of the season. Halfway through the season though, Per-
mann and his staff devised a plan in which the top six team formed one bracket and played each other on Wednesday nights—while the bottom six played each other on Monday nights. But they weren’t done there. Once the season had ended and SSL Old Timers had picked up yet another cool trophy for their efforts, Permann and his staff came up with another interesting wrinkle for the tournament coming in late August. “In our estimation we needed to up the level by having nine teams play,” added Permann. “So we took all six of the top teams from the top bracket and added the top three teams out of the bottom bracket.” Starting on Aug. 22, the tournament began in earnest with the first place team playing the fifth and ninth place teams, and the second place squad faced the fourth place team and the eighth place team—while the third place team took on the sixth and seventh place teams. From that format, the SSL Old Timers prevailed yet again, using their experience to capitalize on other team’s costly mistakes, according to Permann. “The other teams hit and field well,” explained Permann. “But the champs just seemed to jump on blown opportunities and a lot of times they’re good but lucky.” Though the champs did defend their title, added Permann, trophies were also handed out to the top team in the bottom bracket after league play ended, giving everyone, regardless of their skill, an opportunity to play hard all season long. According to Permann, the next adult summer softball league starts its registration in May, league play starts in early June, and the tournament will begin at the end of the league’s season. l
The Old Timers repeated as both league and tournament champions of the South Salt Lake adult softball league. This is from their victory last year. (Dustin Permann/South Salt Lake)

Cottonwood High theatre schedule offers entertainment for the community By Julie Slama | julie@mycityjournals.com

Students will perform a musical murder-mystery, “Curtains,” in November at Cottonwood High. (Adam Wilkins/Cottonwood High School)
S
hows the entire family can enjoy are on the Cottonwood High theatre schedule this season. Before the first show, theatre students will present their sixth annual Haunted Hallway on Oct. 30 at 7 p.m. There will be creaks and moans, chains rattling and eerie sounds near and beneath the school stage at 5715 S. 1300 East in Murray. But the event will be family-friendly and non-perishable or canned foods as well as monetary donations are asked as contributions for both the school food bank as well as the Utah Food Bank. In the past, the community has donated more than 1 ton of food, director Adam Wilkins said. “This way, we can serve our community both through entertainment and giving the much-needed food into the hands who can use it,” he said. The season opener, “Curtains,” a musical murder-mystery with comedy and romance mixed in, will open at 7 p.m., Wednesday, Nov. 14 and run through Saturday, Nov. 17 and again on Monday, Nov. 19 on Cottonwood’s stage. There will be a noon matinee on Saturday as well. Tickets are $8 in advance in the office or on the school website, schools.graniteschools. org/cottonwoodhigh, or $9 at the door. “It is so fun and the script is hilari-

ous,” Wilkins said. “The most important thing with a play is a great script because without a good story, it’s not entertaining.” Wilkins cast the production last spring, so it gave students a chance to become familiar with the script. “It’s a fantastic cast who have great potential and are rising to it. They’ve had a chance to look over and picture the show and evaluate the script before we started rehearsals on the (Aug.) 27th,” he said. In mid-March 2019, theatre students will put on the American romantic comedy-drama, “Shakespeare in Love,” a fictional love story, adapted from the Oscar-winning 1998 film, between playwright William Shakespeare and a young woman who poses as a man to star in one of the writer’s plays. “Again, it’s a great script so it is a great story for our students to portray to entertain the community,” Wilkins said. “Art is transformative unifying. The message of inclusion is vital for our community and students.” In March, Cottonwood students will compete in their regional theatre competition in a one-act play as well as in monologues and scenes. They expect to compete at state the following month. “We have placed in the top three in
region for the past 10 years and the top 10 at state in the past 10 years. We have students with a lot of talent and they work hard,” he said. In early May 2019, students will take to Cottonwood stage yet again for the newly written show, “Bright Star,” by actor and comedian Steve Martin. “It has a bluegrass feel to it,” Wilkins said about the 2013 musical. “It’s about a writer and artist that is searching for something more.” The show is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains in 1945 when a serviceman and aspiring writer returns home after serving in World War II. Through flashbacks set in 1923, the audience learns about life and relationships in Hayes Creek, where the stories he has written take place. Throughout the year, a series of improvisation shows will be held. The final performance will be student one-act directed shows in May 2019. Six seniors will be directors. “It’s important our students get the full theatre education so by directing, they gain valuable experience which helps them become better actors,” he said. “We want our students to learn in the classroom and on the stage to become well rounded.” l

Trick (free but timely) or Treat (expensive but quick)
t’s the most won-der-ful time of the year! It’s spooky time! Halloween is my favorite holiday. In my opinion, we don’t have nearly enough occasions to dress up in costume and eat candy. Almost every year, I start planning my costume early. I’m one of those people that need my costume exact to every last detail. I’ve even bleached my hair to make sure the long blonde hair I needed for my costume was accurate. Wigs are way too expensive. Unfortunately, not spending $50 to $200 on costumes at the pop-up Halloween stores can only be off-set by time. Spending the time to create your own unique costumes can save loads of cash. Head to your local Michaels craft store or JoAnn’s fabric store for all the knickknacks and fabric you will need for your costume. Coupons are always available for Michaels, make sure to visit their website and download that coupon before you head to the store. JoAnn’s usually has coupons available on their website as well. I wouldn’t say I have a talent for sewing, which is why I love visiting JoAnn’s. In the middle of the store, an entire table of pattern books and file cabinets full of patterns to choose from awaits. My suggested process is to spend some time looking through multiple books to find the perfect pattern, pick the pattern from the corresponding cabinet, and then go look for the appropriate fabric. For accessories, like bracelets, hats, shoes, facewear, etc., shop around early. I generally like to go online and screen-shop through sites like Amazon and eBay for the perfect iteration of the accessory I’m looking for. I have two different extensions on my Chrome browser that automatically compare prices throughout the internet. If I’m lucky, they will

pop up before I check-out with coupons or websites that offer the same product at a lower price. (The two I use are Best Price and Honey.) Not surprisingly, I adore hosting Halloween parties. Pinterest is my ultimate go-to for fun Halloween-themed treats, drinks, and decorations. One of my favorite treats to make is Ghost Pretzels. Pick up a bag of long pretzels from the grocery store, dip them in melted white chocolate, throw some small googly-eyes on there, and they’re done! Some other simple recipes include Halloween popcorn or trail mix, ghost bananas, pumpkin clementines, spider cookies, blood-splattered Oreos, Jell-O worms, mummy hotdogs, and Halloween spaghetti. Decorations require a balancing act between time and money as well. Buying decorations from a store (my favorites are Michaels and Spirit Halloween) is quick, but can be expensive. Homemade decorations are inexpensive, but they require a fair amount of time. One of the most inexpensive decorations is a front-yard spider web. All it requires is a long spool of thick thread. If you have trees and other plants in the front-yard, this can be pretty painless; just walk through your yard and hook the thread over some branches to create the outer perimeter of the web, then keep walking in circles, making the perimeter smaller and smaller each time. Tie a few perpendicular thread pieces throughout the circle, and that’s it! Don’t forget the spider made out of a black bag full of fallen leaves and some pipe cleaners. Witches brooms can also be simple to make, depending on how fancy the witch is. If you have an old dusty broom lying around, that’s perfect. Wrap the handle with some fabric, preferably black, orange, or
purple, splatter some green spray paint across the rest of the handle, and jostle up the brush on the end of the broom. Easy-peasy. There are many other decoration ideas easily googleable that I have yet to try, including floating candles, glowing eyes, wicked witch feet, packing tape ghosts, potion bottles, bats, stacked pumpkins and whimsical grave stones. Need more? Spoox Bootique (3453 S. State St.) is open all year and they have fantastic Halloween-themed decorations, collectables, apparel, homeware, accessories, furniture, and trick or treat buckets. l

Life and Laughter—Dressed to Kill

PERI KINDER
SO SALT LAKE
very autumn, as I reconstructed our home after three months of child infestation, my daughters settled into their school classes and thoughts turned to Halloween. More specifically, thoughts turned to Halloween costumes. I’d load my girls into the minivan and we’d attack the pattern books at Joann fabric, looking for the perfect costumes. (These pattern books weighed approximately 450 lbs. and had to be moved carefully or they would fall off the narrow perch and crush your hip bones.) Costumes ranged from Disney princesses to Death, and each outfit had to last for decades because they were worn all the time and handed down for generations. (For example, one daughter, dressed as Snow White, shredded the hem of her gown under the plastic tires of her Big Wheel. Her dress looked like Snow White had been attacked by a pack of very short raccoons. She still wore it every day.) After finding the right pattern, we’d roam the aisles, looking for fabric that didn’t cost the equivalent of an actual Disney movie. During my costume-making tenure, I created all of the Disney princesses, a
cheerleader, Super Girl, a lion, a pumpkin and several witches. (Sidenote: A witch costume in 1990 consisted of a long black dress, a long black cape, long black hair, a black hat and a broomstick. Now a witch costume is a black miniskirt, fishnet stockings and a push-up bra. I have no idea how to fly a broom in that outfit.) Speaking of slutty clothes, my daughters were often pushing the envelope when it came to modesty. According to my daughter, her belly dancer’s shirt was too long, so (when I wasn’t around) she rolled it up several times to display her 10-year-old abs, and the gypsy Esmeralda’s blouse kept “accidentally” falling off her shoulders. Daughter number three used her Cinderella costume as a method of seduction as she walked up and down our driveway in her slappy plastic high heels, flirting with the men building the garage. Did I mention she was four? During another Halloween, she wanted to be Darth Maul. I made her costume, painted her face, but refused to put horns on her head. She grew her own devil horns a few years later. By Oct. 20, all my intentions to create the perfect Halloween costume for each daughter devolved into madness

as I frantically sewed to have everything done for the school’s Halloween parade (which is now the Fall Festival). My Singer sewing machine would be thrumming 24-hours a day as I slowly lost my mind. I’d throw boxes of cold cereal at them for dinner, while I shrieked, “I’m making these costumes because I love you. Now shut the hell up!” Once Halloween was over, costumes went into a big box and were worn by my daughters and their friends all year. At any given moment, a girl wearing Beauty’s voluminous yellow ball gown would be chasing Super Girl through the living room, with a toddler-sized Jack-o’-lantern nipping at

It makes my black Halloween heart smile.
