Mayor's Message
Let’s talk about the air we breathe.
During a recent meeting in Salt Lake City, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality provided a group of us with a presentation on summer ozone formation and what was driving the bad air that we breathe. From the presentation, it was stated that not all the emissions that drive ozone concentrations along the Wasatch Front are from Utah man-made sources. The highest percentage came from natural sources like wildfires from other states and even countries. It was also stated that operating a twostroke engine on a weed-eater for one hour will generate more air pollution than a family vehicle trip from Salt Lake to Disneyland. If we ever hope to clean up the air and reduce air pollution, we all must do our part. If that means changing a two-stroke piece of equipment for electric, so be it. This is all about breathing healthy air.
As I have stated before, Roy City and other cities surrounding Hill AFB have a subterranean chemical
"Roy City and other cities surrounding Hill AFB have a subterranean chemical plume problem, specifically on our southern border."
plume problem, specifically on our southern border. For years the Air Force has been actively bringing attention to this issue and performing mitigation efforts. Yet we still had over 100 homeowners who did not take advantage of a free testing program. Recently the Environmental Restoration Section at Hill AFB and five of our Public Works employees helped conduct a door-to-door indoor air sampling
public outreach. As a result, 27 additional homes accepted the invitation to be checked. Knowing whether your home is experiencing internal chemical vapor intrusion is vital. If found, the Air Force will mitigate it at no cost. The Roy City website has more information.
On a different note, the Utah Taxpayers Association in their 2023 Cost of City Government Report for 2022 indicated that Roy City ranked in the best five of City Government Revenue Per Capita. This metric shows how much revenue the city collects in taxes and fees per resident in the city. It points to the level of fiscal restraint exercised by elected officials. We take limiting the spending of your tax money very seriously. We are now waiting to see what the 2023 data shows.
There will be a delay in setting up an Ogden Airport discussion in a town hall meeting. The Ogden Community Development Director unexpectedly resigned, requiring us to revisit this issue with his replacement and their new mayor. Good government requires public engagement. Please be involved!

Employee Spotlight – Natalie Pierce
Natalie Pierce is the Human Resources Coordinator for Roy City and has been with us for almost four years. Natalie takes care of all things related to employee matters. She assists our various departments with hiring and onboarding new employees, maintains and supports health benefits, serves as a liaison between our retirement benefits and our employees, and many other day-to-day tasks that are sure to keep her on her toes.
When you think of Natalie many things make her great, but just a few that stand out are her love for Jeeps and snow, her compassion and desire to help, and her dedication to Roy employees. The best day to meet Natalie is on a chilly January day when our city is covered in fresh snow. As she drives into her parking spot, beaming from ear to ear, she’ll say, “My order is in” and you just know she’ll be spreading cheer all day. When our employees are faced with challenges or questions concerning employment matters, they know just who to turn to. Even if Natalie doesn’t have the answer, she is certain to find it and follow up to ensure our employees receive top-notch care.
While Natalie doesn’t serve our community in the same way most of our employees do, she is a vital part of Roy City.
We want to thank Natalie for being a part of our core and for her unwavering support of our employees.

Focus on Roy Businesses – Faye's Laundry & Dry Cleaning
Faye’s Laundry and Dry Cleaning recently relocated to 5421 S. 1900 W. from its previous location at 5600 S.
Family-owned, Faye’s Laundry and Dry Cleaning has been caring for clothing and household fabrics since their first location in 1968. Their fourth generation is now learning the business of cleaning from the ground up. When they say they are experienced, they mean experienced!
Their friendly staff are available for consultation about all of your fabric care questions. Faye’s specialists will help with your most vexing spot removal or garment that is impossible to press at home.
Faye’s is an environmentally conscious business: their drycleaning solvent is safe for the environment, and they use

Your shirts will be starched the way you like them and returned on a hanger or folded for easier packing. If you are a cowboy who wants “Texas-starched” jeans that stand by themselves, they will do that.
Allow Faye’s to preserve your wedding gown or Christening gown, carefully cleaned and returned to its original beauty; they use only acid-free packaging and offer archival packaging upon request.
You will be pleased with their prompt turnaround times for the care and return of Afghans, comforters, slipcovers, sleeping bags, doggy beds, stuffed animals, draperies and curtains, quilts, and even car or boat covers. Your treasured leather garments require specialized cleaning, and Faye’s can arrange to have them cleaned by a leather cleaning expert with a little extra time.

STORMWATER SMART
CONSTRUCTION IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
When water from rain, snow, or sleet ows over the ground, it becomes “stormwater.” When stormwater ows through a construction site, it can pick up sediment, oil, and chemicals and carry them downstream to local water bodies. That’s why it’s important for construction sites to protect the community by putting up special fences, barriers, and truck pads to prevent pollution in our rivers, lakes, and streams.
THE MUD STOPS HERE
GOOD FENCES
MAKE CLEAN NEIGHBORS PROTECT THE PIPES
SOMETHING LOOK WRONG? CALL!
Construction entrances should have a pad that keeps mud o the street. Muddy tracks coming out of a site could mean chemicals, dust, and debris will be washed into the storm drain the next time it rains.
A fence or other barrier should be installed that keeps soil and construction debris from washing downstream from the site when it rains, especially sites on a slope or those with dirt piles.
All storm drains near a construction site should have a protective barrier around them to prevent debris and muddy water from entering storm sewer pipes.
If you see muddy water, chemicals, dirt, or any water that seems polluted owing from a construction site in your neighborhood, call your local government o ce that handles construction permits.

“Fracas” Leads to Murder
BY SABRINA LEEWe’re all familiar with the reputation of 25th Street in Ogden...
Most associate the infamous street with the Prohibition Era, but a quick search of the local newspapers shows murders dating back to 1870. In May of 1889, an incident on 25th Street led to Jack Taylor being stabbed in the head. Jack Taylor and Charles Brigman had words, and it led to blows. Charles pulled a knife and lunged at Jack, stabbing him in the temple. Eyewitness accounts state that the wound gushed profusely, and the police were summoned.
Both men were taken to the station, and Jack was treated for his wound. Jack was allowed to leave for his boarding house as he would be more comfortable recovering, while Charles Brigman remained incarcerated. Charles was arraigned and held on $400.00 bail. He was found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon; however, his sentence was suspended. His wife, simply listed as Mrs. Brigman, had met a terrible fate.
The Salt Lake Herald reported that on May 25th, Mrs. Brigman was severely burned in a fire. After putting her children to bed, she walked with her lamp through the cottage and a cold draft caught the flame. Her clothes, covered in lamp fluid, ignited. Her screams caught the attention of two other people, but when they arrived, she was still aflame and badly disfigured. At the reporting of the article in the Salt Lake Herald, Mrs. Brigman had yet
to pass but the time was not far off. Due to his wife’s accident and having 2 small children, one born just a few weeks prior, Charles’ sentence had been suspended.
Having been treated at the jail and sent to his boarding house to rest, Jack seemed to be recovering well, but began to take ill and was admitted to the Poor Farm in Roy on a Friday. By Monday, Jack Taylor was dead. After his death, the knife blade was extracted, and it was discovered that the blade had penetrated his brain. It was a wonder how he had lived beyond the initial injury. Since Jack died from the injury sustained in the attack, Charles Brigman was again arrested, facing a new charge of murder or manslaughter.
Beyond the last article announcing Jack Taylor’s death and Charles being arrested again, I found no further information. Although the news of Mrs. Brigman’s death is listed as happening in Ogden, she does not have a burial record. The same goes for Charles, there is no burial record for him that I could find. The Brigman’s are also not listed in the Polk Directories.
As for Jack Taylor’s origin, Find A Grave lists him as being born in 1855, in Illinois. He was staying at a boarding house, so he may have been employed by the railroad and had just been passing through when he met his fate. Sadly, we might never know. But he forever rests here in Roy, as one of many unmarked souls at the Poor Farm Cemetery.

RECIPES
BY RYAN & MELISSA SPELTS PHOTO BY MELISSA SPELTSThree Point Chicken Wings
Each of these wing flavors come out amazing! You can eat them as they are, with blue cheese or ranch dressing, or try Ryan’s special Dirty Bird Layup sauce below.
Free Throw Spice
5 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Blackening Spice
1/2 tsp. Salt
1 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
Bank Shot Buffalo Sauce
2/3 cup Hot Sauce (We use Franks Red Hot)
1/2 cup Melted Butter
1 1/2 Tbsp. White Vinegar
1/4 tsp. Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 tsp. Cayenne Pepper (optional for less heat)
A pinch of salt
Slam Dunk Garlic Parmesan
1/2 cup Butter (melted)
1/2 cup Grated Parmesan I sometimes use grated cheese. Both are good! Grated makes for a smoother sauce, while the shredded kind is kind of chunky. You can also make the smooth sauce and then sprinkle grated Parmesan over the top.
A pinch of salt
1/4 tsp. Black Pepper
A full head of Garlic or one heaping Tbsp. of the pre-minced garlic 1/2 tsp. Onion Powder
The Dirty Bird Layup
Mixture of any two sauces. We recommend medium buffalo and garlic parmesan for an out of this world taste!
To make these wings extra crispy, remove all the moisture from the chicken’s skin by placing a wire rack on a cookie sheet, place the thawed wings on it and leave in your fridge overnight.
1. Preheat your oven to 300ºF. Put the wings into a plastic bag, pour in the Free Throw Spice mixture and shake until the chicken is generously covered.
2. Place the wings back onto the wire rack, skin side up and bake for 20 minutes.
3. Remove wings from the oven and turn the oven up to 425ºF. Once the oven is up to temperature, put the wings back in for another 40 minutes.
4. Enjoy the Free Throw wings as-is, or top with another sauce option (previous column.)
5. Melt the butter for either of the topping/sauces and mix with the other ingredients. You can blend them with a blender if you want the sauce to be smoother. Pour the sauce over your cooked wings and enjoy!
Airball Air Fryer Fries
A super easy way to make homemade French fries in your air fryer!

4. Place potatoes in a bowl and douse them with olive oil (1 to 2 Tbsp.) and seasoned salt. Mix well.
5. Place in Air Fryer. Make sure the potatoes don’t touch for the BEST results.
6. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the fries are crispy and golden brown.
7. Place cooked French fries on a cookie sheet and start another batch until all the potatoes have been cooked. Dip in a dollop of ketchup and eat!
