Lessons for Tomorrow from Yesterday’s Debates

It was actually July 2nd that the representatives of the 2nd Continental Congress voted for Independence. July 4th was the day they adopted the Declaration of Independence. They spent two days working out the details of what would become a founding document for a new nation. It shouldn’t be a surprise that we continue to debate, modify, change, and revise laws, codes, and resolutions at every level of government. For some, that is too slow; others see it as too fast. For some, it is too fluid while for others it may be too rigid. The independence we celebrate is limited government trying to find optimal solutions for challenges that simply won’t please everyone. Our governing ideals rely heavily on imperfect people trying to find the best possible compromise.

Recall that early disgruntled colonists were upset at the high cost of what today would be very minuscule taxes. Today we seem to have a complete paradox between citizens being anchored in a distaste for taxes, and some level of entitlement to the extensive services we expect our government to provide. How would these inspired minds look at us 247 years later?

Those taxes always seem to be offensive when it provides something one thinks is optional but are the only means to provide things we could never provide individually. Our collective necessities are only affordable when common taxes share the cost of infrastructure and other shared services. Imagine the crazy cost of every home supplying its own water line from a reservoir or its own sewer treatment facility. Even without the controversy that we need fresh water in our homes, we may still debate how we come to a solution. Similar debates have occurred at every level of government since we argued over the inclusion or exclusion of single words in the Declaration of Independence we celebrate. In college, I studied deep into the philosophies of some of these icons of our country’s independence. I continue to marvel how men of such different opinions formed such deep friendships and held each other in such high regard, even during fierce debates with fiercer counterpoints. Adams and Jefferson were the 2nd and 3rd Presidents of this Nation, respectively, and were fundamentally polar opposites on many governing ideologies. When they agreed on a desired result, they almost assuredly disagreed on the means to reach it. They continued to write to each other, maintaining their close friendship and debates out of the office until they passed mere hours apart on July 4th, 1826.

As we celebrate this season, keep in mind there have always been a variety of ideas for what creates the best place to live freely. There are even more thoughts on how we could best arrive at the same ideals. My challenge for you is to remember that it is less the result that divides us, but more the means to attain those results. We are governing into the future, and we need to recall the old words of Benjamin Franklin, “Look before, or you’ll find yourself behind.” That focus ahead served them well in 1776 and will continue to serve us now. Find harmony of goal, even if you debate the path.

Mayor Dave Maughan

Recall the old words of Benjamin Franklin, Look before, or you’ll find yourself behind.

Sparks In the Sky Fireworks & Fire Safety

By Micah Redmond

Gathering family and friends to enjoy a night of sparks in the sky is often the highlight of the July holidays. Fireworks are amazing and fun; however, each year there are approximately 18,500 fires and 9,000 people injured from fireworks. Head injuries, burns, amputations, fractures, and loss of hearing and vision are common. Firefighters love fighting fire and emergency departments love taking care of injured patients, but we would rather you all enjoy making good memories that don’t involve pain, loss, and fear. As we prepare for fireworks season, a useful term I like to use is situational awareness. Situational awareness is understanding an environment, its elements, and other factors that help us make good decisions. As you prepare for hosting or viewing amateur fireworks shows, please be prepared, make good decisions, and follow these Safety Tips that may keep you from getting injured or starting a fire:

• Avoid launching fireworks in busy streets, near agriculture fields, or commercial businesses.

• Use 2-4 cinder blocks to maintain the fireworks in an upright position.

• Use an instant-on torch or butane cooking torch for igniting fireworks.

• Close all doors to your house, including your garage door.

• Do not park vehicles on dry grass.

• Never allow young children to handle fireworks.

• Older children should use them only under close adult supervision.

• Never use fireworks while impaired by drugs or alcohol.

• Anyone using fireworks or standing nearby should wear protective eyewear.

• Never hold lighted fireworks in your hands.

• Never light them indoors.

• Only use them away from people, houses, and flammable materials.

• Never point or throw fireworks at another person.

• Only light one device at a time and maintain a safe distance after lighting.

• Never ignite devices in a container.

• Do not try to re-light or handle malfunctioning fireworks.

• Soak both spent and unused fireworks in water for a few hours before discarding them.

• Keep a water hose and a bucket of water nearby to fully extinguish fireworks that don't go off, or in case of fire.

• Never use illegal fireworks.

Syracuse City PUBLIC WORKS UPDATES

BY ROBERT WHITELEY

PUBLIC HEALTH SAFETY NOTICE:

A sprinkler system connected to culinary water is extremely dangerous to public health and is illegal. If this occurs, the entire secondary water system will be shut off to Syracuse City. Violators will be prosecuted. If you suspect a cross-connection or are uncertain and would like a free inspection, call Public Works or submit an online fix-it request.

CLEAN STORMWATER is important to our ecosystem. When washing vehicles, use a car wash or park your vehicles on the lawn when washing the vehicle so the dirty water can filter into the ground. Keep all fluids and spills contained and wiped up. Do not wash any debris down the driveway into the gutters and streets.

TREES must be pruned to 7 feet over a sidewalk and 11 feet over the street. Clearances for driver visibility must be maintained for street signs and lights. Plant new trees away from sidewalks to allow roots to grow without heaving the sidewalk and gutters. Keep trees away from street corners to allow visibility. Keep them away from your sewer pipe where roots could create blockages. City code 10.30.070 is a great resource for trees in our city.

Beautiful Yard Award

Do you have a beautiful yard or know someone who does?

We are starting the “Beautiful Yard Award.” With this new program, we are hoping you help the city identify residents who take special care in maintaining their landscaping and homes.

We want to show pride in our community and give back to those of you who work extremely hard to maintain your landscaping. Without our resident’s hard work, the city would not have exceptional, safe, and clean neighborhoods.

Residents of selected yards will receive an award and have a photograph (if they choose) featured in the Syracuse Connection magazine. Please nominate those around your neighborhood who you believe have made exceptional efforts to impact their neighborhood. Beautiful yards make neighborhoods that are more attractive and vibrant. Please keep in mind not every nomination will be placed in the magazine and the program runs from May through August.

Syracuse Code Enforcement is not just about issuing notices and citations. We will be contacting nominees and recognizing residents for their great work! It is easy to nominate a neighbor or yourself, all you need to do is submit the simple nomination form for Syracuse Code Enforcement to review. Help us award those who have worked hard to maintain their landscaping.

Thank you for your commitment to the city and for maintaining a beautiful yard!

Have you noticed someone who has gone above and beyond to improve their yard, please nominate them.

North Davis Communities that Care–Family Protection

BY VIVIANA FELIX

All families have their own strengths and face unique challenges. When life gets hard, or we are under stress, it may take a little extra help to get through our daily tasks. Parents can practice protective factors to help support their family unit by tapping into their strengths and resources when life gets hard. With children out of school and families trying to balance summer routines and schedules, we all need a little reminder

that parenting is about learning and adjusting. Here are three things parents can practice this summer to build protection around their children: Family is one of the biggest areas of protection for children that can result in healthy and happy adults in the future. Building on these strengths is a proven way to keep a family strong and improve a child’s well-being.

Protective Factor/Definition Example Activity

Nurture & Attachment

Families show how much they love each other.

Parental Resilience

A parent recognizes they are under stress and are able to bounce back from challenges.

Social & Emotional Support for Children

A child knows they are loved, feels they belong, and is kind to others.

• Take time every day to connect with your child—a hug, a smile, a meal, or a few minutes of talking and listening.

• Find ways to connect with your child while completing everyday tasks such as cooking, grocery shopping, or driving in the car.

• Surround yourself with people who support you and make you feel good about yourself as a parent.

• Take quiet time to re-energize—take a bath, drink a cup of tea, or go for a walk.

• Talk with your child about how important feelings are.

• Provide regular routines, especially for young children. Make sure other caregivers are aware of routines around mealtime, naps, and bedtime.

Syracuse High Boys’ Soccer Wins 2023 State Championship

The Syracuse High School boys’ soccer team made a Cinderella run through the state tournament this past May to end up as State Champions! The Titans, who were pegged as preseason favorites in the 6A (largest) classification in February, struggled in the middle of the season back in April. A 4-game losing streak secured their spot as the #12 seed in the state tournament. Then the Titans got hot! In the opening round, they defeated Layton 2-0 at home. Then the road trips began. They went on the road and defeated the #5, #4, #1, and #6 seeds in their march for the state title, defeating Roy, Farmington, Lone Peak, and Skyridge. Highlights from their bracketbusting run included a 6-5 pk shootout victory over the Phoenix after a tough 0-0 game. In the semi-finals the Titans manhandled nationally ranked, undefeated, and the #1 team in the state, Lone Peak, by a score of 4-1. Senior Jack Cook had another hat trick (3 goals) in that game to lead the Titans to their first State Title appearance.

In the championship game, it was a quiet, scoreless, and rainy first half against the Skyridge Falcons. Halftime felt a bit longer than usual, as after two minutes of play in the second half a lightning delay sent both teams to the locker rooms for 30 minutes. The Titans did anything but talk soccer. They played games, laughed, and ate snacks. Two minutes prior to reentering the field for play, Coach Taylor Allen covered the game plan to press the Falcons, and press they did. Within 40 seconds of play resuming the Titans broke the scoreless

tie with a header off junior Easton Cragun. Only 19 seconds later, senior Ryker Smith, finished the scoring for a 2-0 win.

The win capped the first championship in Syracuse Boys Soccer history, a program previously that struggled to make the playoffs 6+ years ago. It rewards Syracuse High School with their fifth state title overall (Boys Golf, Girls Basketball twice, Boys Track, and Boys Soccer), and sends Coach Taylor Allen off the field with a win in his last game as a coach. Mr. Allen has accepted a job in Administration for the coming school year. The community was in full force at Rio Tinto packing the stands in all white, helping the Titans to victory. Congratulations to the Syracuse High School boys’ soccer team on winning the State Championship!

in BUSINESS Women

BY CINDY JONES PHOTOS BY DAWN PAUL

When asked about their career choices, each of the women I reached out to for this year’s Women in Business feature said it came down to their desire to connect with others. Each is dynamic, intuitive, and creative in her career. What sets each apart is the ability to meet people wherever they are in their lives–whether running a well-loved business while building and giving back to the community or teaching, speaking and serving families in need. It was a great privilege and an inspiration to learn about each nominee, and I hope their stories inspire you too.

As a detective for Syracuse Police Department, Erin Behm wants to encourage any woman who’s thinking about a career in law enforcement to follow through with that goal.

“As women, we bring skills to the table that are so necessary in a tough and complicated field.”

As an investigator, Erin handles mainly sex abuse crimes against kids. She interviews young victims, working closely with (DCFS) the Utah Dept. of Child & Family Services to make sure the children are not only protected and removed from dangerous situations, but that each child has the resources they need to recover and go on to lead happy, productive lives. Some of the qualities that are natural strengths for her, like compassion, patience, and multi-tasking, are a critical part of her job.

Fueled by a passion for leadership and a deep appreciation for connecting people to needed resources, Amanda Tullis often feels energized by her career.

“In the small business world, there’s something exhilarating about identifying the gap between where we are and where we could be, and creating a service or a product that helps fill that gap.”

Amanda and her team oversee business resource centers in Davis and Morgan counties. Her role often involves connecting business owners with resources they didn’t know existed. She attributes her own achievements, as well as those of her clients, to the belief in oneself despite perceived limitations.

“Within everyone lies the seeds of greatness. We must water them, believe in them, and watch them flourish!”

As co-owner of ReJuvU Day Spa, Shannon Bass often finds her days filled with administrative tasks. But she makes time for interactions with guests because it’s the relationships that keep her inspired.

“It’s important to me that our guests trust us, to know that we care about them as people and not just as clients.”

Working as the director for a beauty school, Shannon felt drawn toward the beauty industry and decided she wanted to open her own spa.

She and her husband, Dr. Clay Bass, opened ReJuvU in 2019, offering both preventative and corrective treatments such as chemical peels, laser hair and tattoo removal, dermal fillers, Botox, and more.

“It isn’t about vanity. It’s about how people feel. When people feel good, it helps them become their best possible selves, inside and out.”

Madison Woods Russon Mortuary

BY ABRAHAM TINKLEPAUIGH

Her passion to become a mortician springs from a longtime desire to help families through their grief after losing a loved one. “My drive and passion for this industry

comes from growing up with hard working parents,” said Woods. “It began when I went to a funeral as a child, at which point I knew I wanted to become a mortician.”

In the fall of 2019, Woods applied to Russon Mortuary and became a secretary at their Syracuse location. They also have full-service locations in Bountiful and Farmington.

After nine months with the Russon Mortuary family, Madison became a Funeral Service Intern. She works every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., with one on-call day every week.

Madison is a full-time mother and student at Commonwealth Institute in Houston, TX, where she’s been studying to earn her degree in Mortuary Science while also working full-time as an intern. She graduates this year to become a licensed Funeral Director. Woods suggested to those seeking entry into the Funeral industry that true success comes from having a real passion for the work. “Being in this industry is not easy, but it is extremely rewarding and fulfilling getting to help families through what is one of the most difficult times in their lives. It’s why I do what I do.”

“The people at Russon Mortuary are truly incredible,” said Woods. “I am so blessed and grateful to work here because the Russons are an amazing family who truly care about those they serve, as if they were their own family, just like I do.”

"Being in this industry is not easy, but it is extremely rewarding and fulfilling getting to help families through what is one of the most difficult times in their lives. "

Our funeral directors are experts in creating personalized services that are unique and honor your loved one in meaningful ways.

MMadison Woods grew up in Clinton, UT, where she attended Clearfield High School, graduating in 2015.

MMallorie Andersen is just finishing her exemplary junior year at the Utah Military Academy. She has taken full advantage of the many opportunities the school offers.

Withlower numbers in each classroom, the students have more opportunities to play sports, join clubs, and hold leadership positions. A driven young woman, Mallorie has taken full advantage. As captain of the Debate Team, and voted Student Body President for her upcoming senior year, Mallorie has big plans. She is working on building her resume. “I hope to get into the United States Military Academy at West Point, to major in cyber security and minor in nuclear engineering.”

Active in sports, Mallorie is a member of the volleyball and archery teams. She placed first for girls in the Utah State Archery competition her freshman year. “I used to hate archery,” Mallorie said, “but my parents thought it would be good for me, and I just stuck with it. Most of it is the internal discipline to perform under pressure. No matter how much you practice, if you pay too much attention to what’s going on around you, you forget everything you learned.”

Cadet Andersen will be going to boot camp this summer. “I am younger than most. I’ll be 17 when I go. It will be a hard experience, but it will strengthen my ability to work with different people of varying ages, genders, and leadership styles.”

Utah Military Academy focuses on helping students prepare for professional success and leadership roles when they complete school. “I have always wanted to be in the military,” Mallorie says, “though my school has helped me build skills that would provide

a great base for any career path. Whatever I decided to do, I counted on the Utah Military Academy to help me get ready. I knew I was where I needed to be mentally, but school training helped get me where I needed to be physically. They have helped me build myself as a leader, and I’m very grateful to them for helping me discover additional opportunities that I wouldn’t have had otherwise.”

Mallorie sets a great example for her peers. “I want to inspire other kids and help them understand that not everything in life is going to be easy. You’re going to have to work and deal with the stress and struggles of life, but at the end of it, you’ll come out a stronger person and achieve great things. Utah Military Academy is helping me get there.”

“Utah Military Academy has helped me build myself as a leader, and I’m very grateful to them for helping me discover additional opportunities that I wouldn’t have otherwise.”

Kyley Cox Tanner Clinic

DDr. Cox finished her Residency last year at the University of Utah and Primary Children’s Hospital and is starting her practice here in Syracuse. She also earned a Master’s Degree in Public Health prior to medical school.

Her practice covers General Pediatrics, from seeing new babies in the hospital, to well-child checkups, to helping kids when they don’t feel well. She treats kids of all ages with a large range of medical conditions from asthma to eating disorders.

Dr. Cox was drawn to working with kids because she loves making an impact early in life, and giving children a foundation for a lifetime of good health. A mom herself, Dr. Cox says, “I love working with kids. My goal is to partner with the

family to improve the quality of life. I want parents to feel that they are participating in their child’s care.”

“I like to get to know the families over time and watch the kids grow.” Dr. Cox enjoys the challenge of working with new patients, finding out what’s wrong, and finding a solution that will help them. “Some of my favorite moments have been when someone’s been struggling with a condition for a long time, and together we find a solution. I love it when they come back feeling better and they’re so happy.”

The Exciting Performing Arts

BY HAGEN COOK

Just about every high school puts on plays and musicals, and yet there still aren’t enough people talking about these productions. With that being said, the amount of work and effort that these actors and stagehands put in should not go unnoticed. These shows go deeper than simply performing due to the friendships that are built and the lessons that can be learned for everyone involved. While balancing school with their busy lives, these students still find time to pursue their passions.

At Syracuse High School the most popular performance is the fall musical which generally has about fifty actors, and that’s without counting all those helping behind the scenes. To get a part, one can just audition to be in the show and be assigned one later; however, it takes a special type of person to be an actor. In Jacob Livingston’s case, he started out by being on the tech crew for production back in junior high. While working behind the curtains, he realized that he wanted to contribute in a different way and decided to get on stage as an actor. Jacob has kept pursuing this passion and has been in three musicals, two one-acts, and one play throughout his time in high school.

Riley Maughan’s story is a little different. He has been acting for eight years now and got started because his friends encouraged him to try out with them. He enjoyed the experience and decided to stick with it, saying, “I found a really awesome community and art that I’ve just fallen in love with.” Like Riley, most of the actors end up loving the social aspect of the theater. Since these productions take time to prepare, they’re forced to spend a lot of time together, but they’re more than happy to do this as they become “chosen family,” as actress Grace Jensen puts it, to each other.

The sheer amount of work that goes into these shows is often taken for granted. Emily Nuttal was the student director for Syracuse High’s One Act this past year, The Importance of Being Earnest. She was one of those in charge of the blocking, set design, costumes, and props among other responsibilities. Emily says she is very proud of everyone that worked on the show, and with good reason as their production won first place in the Davis Region One Act competition. This is proof that just because their hard work may go unnoticed by some, it doesn’t mean it isn’t there. Working in the performing arts is an amazing way to learn valuable life lessons. Jacob explains that he’s learned to be confident, “You’re on that stage playing someone else and you need to forget all the stresses of your life and take on your character and their feelings instead.” Some may stick with the performing arts after high school and some might not, but either way, there are countless lessons and experiences to be gleaned. Now after graduating, Emily and Riley plan to turn their passion for the performing arts into a career while Jacob and Grace plan to stick with it in their free time by participating in every acting opportunity they can. So, whether it becomes a hobby or a career, the performing arts have something for everybody. Emily sums it up by saying, “Theater is a way to incite powerful emotions which makes life all the more worthwhile.”

There’re always discussions about sports and academics, but, when it comes to high school activities, how often do we talk about the performing arts?

“You’re on that stage playing someone else and you need to forget all the stresses of your life and take on your character and their feelings instead.”

Taking Back Date Night

BY CINDY JONES

Whether you’ve only been dating a few months, you still have that honeymoon glow, or you’re like me and you’ve been married so long that offering your spouse a multivitamin is considered flirting, it’s important to spend some one-onone time connecting as a couple. So I crowdsourced with the magazine staff, some friends, even some random people on the internet. I present to you, 20 ways to take back date night!

Thrifty Theme Date

Sit down with your partner and Google up a few thrift shops, preferably a town or two away so neither of you are too familiar with the store’s layout. This is a date that can take on so many themes from silly, to creative, to romantic, and back again. You can pick out absurd outfits for one another and then wear them to get food. Another option is to find a vintage piece of furniture or a lamp to restore together for your home. My favorite spin on this idea is to set a dollar limit, split up, and pick out an item that reminds you of your partner, then go somewhere cozy for a bite to eat and reveal your gifts.

Walk, Talk & Explore

I love finding little historic districts in my city, parking at a church or a park and embarking on a slow stroll so I can really absorb all the unique features of the houses and the neighborhood itself. My

husband and I have turned this concept into a date many times, and It’s amazing how a quiet walk through an unfamiliar subdivision or a trail you’ve never explored can really spark conversation. Bonus if there’s a little café or coffee shop or even a gas station where you can stop for a warm drink and some baked goods to top off your walk.

A Night at the Opera

My friends Bill and Diana Cobabe had their first date at the opera, and though I’ve never attended one myself, it sounds like magic! Bill explains that even people who might not choose to see an opera can enjoy the overall experience, from being surrounded by lavishly dressed people in a stunning setting, to the music and the pageantry. Theaters will often provide subtitles with operas so everyone can understand the plot. It’s a chance to dress to the nines with your partner and that’s always a way to spark romance and feel a little

indulged. “Treat yourself to a nice dinner before you go and the whole evening is magical and memorable,” Bill says. He recommends Capitol Theater in Salt Lake City and Ellen Eccles Theater in Logan, which feature several operas throughout the year

Couples Game Night

This suggestion comes from Connection founders Ryan and Melissa Spelts, and I love it! Invite one or two other couples over, grab some snacks, bring out a few games that require partnering up and host a couple’s game night. This not only creates a fun environment where you can share solidarity and laughs with other couples, it gives you a chance to strengthen your united front. Trust me, you’re only going to get through parenting your teenagers if you’re on the same page.

Sample, Shop and Sizzle

My longtime friends Dan and Heather Deuel love to visit Ocean Mart on Friday and Saturday nights when the store gives out free samples. They stroll through trying out new foods and then pick some things out to take home to cook. You can enjoy this date at any local food market that’s outside your usual norms. You can even extend the evening into preparing the meal together. Make sure to light a few candles and put on your favorite playlist, I recommend a nice 1940’s Jazz. Leave the dishes for morning.

Late-Night Takeout

For busy couples with kids, what you really need is a quick and easy go-to date that won’t require a lot of effort or time. In that specifically crazy stage of couplehood, a small effort makes a big difference. Our writer Sabrina Lee and her husband sneak out late at night to order takeout and eat it in their car. They have a teenager who watches

the younger kids, but you can hire a neighboring teen to come and sit in your house for an hour after bedtime. “Just eating, talking, and laughing. Best 45-minute date ever!” Our calendar organizer Amanda Koldewyn and her husband have a similar routine. Once the kids are asleep, they splurge on takeout sushi or burgers, and since they rarely have the time otherwise, indulge in a good Netflix binge or a Redbox movie. Sometimes, simple is sublime.

Sunset or Stargazing Picnic

My absolute favorite date night spin started out of necessity during the pandemic. My husband and I would get in our Jeep, grab some takeout, and find a grassy hill or an abandoned park to enjoy a sunset picnic. Last summer we put a new spin on this concept, instead of sunset we went stargazing. We packed some treats and a thermos of hot chocolate and drove up to North Fork Park to watch a meteor shower. It ended up clouding over and we didn’t see any meteors, but just sitting in the

back of the Jeep, hatch open, enjoying our snacks and talking amidst the sounds of the night was relaxing and magical.

Savory Sampling

My friends Katie and Marc Nelson have become legendary for their sampling parties and this idea lends well to a date night! They purchase a variety of brands or types of any one food or drink: apples, soda, peanut butter, cheese, chocolate, etc.. and spend an evening tasting all the varieties and rating their favorites. You could even go one step further with this and post your results on social media or even start a blog about it. That way you have a lasting record—and a tangible memory of your sampling adventures.

Revisit Your Firsts

Some of my favorite date ideas are all about sweet nostalgia! If you’re in a long-term relationship, these kinds of dates definitely have potential to ignite a spark. Taking photos at the exact spot where you met, revisiting your wedding venue, or making milkshakes to commemorate the ice-cream shop where your romance blossomed are all great ways to bring back the love. My husband and I once took a picnic to the Weber State University duck pond, the place where we first started talking about our future, and I can’t express how much the small memories make you realize the value in your relationship. Don’t forget to play all the songs that were the soundtrack of your budding romance!

WHITE SATIN BRIDAL

BY: SABRINA LEE

White Satin Bridal began in Kathy Wood’s basement during February of 1984. Demand for Kathy and her co-owner Kristie’s designs and expertise grew.

Atone point they had the first location in Syracuse with others in Riverton, East Layton, Bountiful, Salt Lake City, and San Francisco, California. A bride could come in with a picture and Kristie would customize it to fit the bride’s needs and Kathy made it come to life with her seamstress skills. Adding onto that, they created a one stop shop for bridal attire and accessories which helped their business thrive. White Satin Bridal provides accessories to either rent or buy—attire for bridal attendants and mothers of the bride and groom, hosiery, and flower girl and ring bearer accessories could all be rented or purchased at their store.

These types of additional services saved time and money for their customers. With 30 years of combined experience, Kristie and Kathy provided full services for their clients. They were often asked to attend the ceremonies, and on some occasions hired to dress the bride before the ceremony. However, providing gowns to the San Francisco location on time grew to be too difficult, and the location was closed.

Newspaper information on White Satin Bridal as an open business seems to end in 1998. The location at 1950 West 2250 South now

has other businesses, and I could not find any images of a Kristie Peterson original design, but I am sure there are hundreds of people who remember the special attention they received from these two very special women.

They created a one stop shop for their customers.

My second visit to the spa was just as great. The facial that Bree provided was a 10 out of 10 experience. So relaxing!! I could instantly feel and see a difference with the services. Many more facials to come in my future. Thank you!
