Thank you Veterans!
I
n 1954, Congress passed the bill that President Eisenhower signed, proclaiming November 11th as Veterans Day. Since that date, we’ve acknowledged the sacrifices of those who gave something;,many their all. This year, I’d like to dedicate this space to all Syracuse veterans, living and deceased. To honor all, I have chosen one to represent them: Larry Kerr. Larry was born in Coshoctor, Ohio. He married our hometown girl, Shuree Cook.

Larry is a veteran of the Vietnam War. My life’s history is profoundly linked to this conflict. When many were running from the draft in the 60s, Larry enlisted to fight a very unpopular war. Now a disabled vet, Larry still serves his peers. Congressman Chris Stewart said it best:
“I would like to recognize and thank Larry Kerr, a Utah veteran who served his country in the Air Force for 20 years, including through the Vietnam War followed by time in Korea. Since finishing his Air Force Service, Larry has helped countless veterans in our state receive due benefits and is the recipient of the Cold War Victory Medal. Larry has dealt with medical conditions due to Agent Orange and has assisted many veterans in navigating these same challenges. I am so grateful for his service, his sacrifice, the sacrifice of his family, and his constant dedication to fellow veterans. I am honored to welcome him to Washington D.C. as part of Utah’s Honor Flight.” Now, Larry is active in awarding the Cold War Victory Medal to veterans of the Cold War. He and his wife, Shuree, have made presentations throughout the state. We can all be proud of our Syracuse veterans, Larry being an example of them all. Larry will be honored at the November 9th city council meeting by the Syracuse City Youth Commission. Come and meet Larry and Shuree and other hometown heroes. Mayor Mike Gailey

Public Works Update WINTER PARKING REMINDER: Beginning November 15th, overnight parking is prohibited on the street midnight to 6 a.m. This is in effect until March 15th. Parking on the street is also prohibited during the daytime when it is snowing. Parking violations will be enforced with fines during those dates, whether it is snowing or not (11-20-050). Please take some time to ensure your vehicles have parking space in a safe location off the street without blocking sidewalks. Tree Trimming: This is a good time of year to trim trees along the roads and sidewalks. Remember the 7/11 rule for trimming clearance: 7 feet above the sidewalk and 11 feet above the street. Offer to help others who may need assistance with tree trimming. Clean gutters: Please keep your gutters and storm inlet grates clear from leaves, grit, and debris. Doing so allows good drainage into storm drains. This not only prevents flooding, but also keeps our downstream habitat healthy. As leaves begin to fall, look for ways to help those needing assistance with raking, sweeping, and preventing leaves from going into our storm drains. Thank you for making this community look great! Road Construction: Several areas around the city are experiencing construction related to the new freeway, upgraded sewer mains, and new developments. This will continue through the winter months. Updates will be available through the city website and Facebook.
SNOWPLOW SEASON is upon us. Please remember that overnight street parking is prohibited from midnight to 6 a.m. so our snowplows can do their work!

Gross but Grateful:
The History of the Syracuse Sewage System BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY
Today, the District collects and treats wastewater from approximately 80 square miles for a population of about 200,000.
A
s you’re counting the things you’re grateful for, don’t forget the gross stuff too! This month, Connection Publishing wanted to tell the history of something we all should be grateful for: a sewage system. In the beginning, the Native American way of sewage was much different than today. They dug trenches to do their business in. You might think that it was the smelliest way to get rid of sewage. Luckily, the harsh winters froze the trenches; therefore, the smells went away. Early settlers implemented the same idea, with some innovation for privacy. Instead of an open trench, they built outhouses. A septic tank wouldn’t arrive in the States until 1880. As a result, these settlers were still disposing of sewage directly into the ground. Eventually, they were connected to septic tanks. (You can see a replica of a typical outhouse at the Syracuse Museum.) It was still up to each household to empty the tanks every so often. Many tanks broke down, and raw sewage often ran into corrals with the barnyard manure. Others in the Salt Lake Valley had already run out of places to store their sewage by that time. Since there were so many farmlands in the north, like Syracuse, they dug an open conveyance system to send their sewage up northwest. Once there, farms could use the system to create their own fertilizer. Later, it was much more effective to use manure. Plus, the conveyance systems were an eye sore. The first suggestion of a sewage system for the town was in January of 1942. A special meeting was held March 9, 1942, to see how many of the people favored a sewer line. The vote was unanimous: people favored it.
14 syracuseconnection.com | November 2021
By September, president of the board, T.J. Thurgood, sent a request for a sewer franchise to the State of Utah. The government granted a loan that led to a 30-inch sewer line, which was installed down State Street (1700 South) to Main Street (2000 West). A 36-inch line came down from the West Point Road along Main Street and extended south into the lake. At this time, there was no sewage disposal plant, only raw sewage which flowed into the lake. At the beginning, it cost a connection fee of $90 and $1/month service fee. This was worth the cost of having to regularly empty a septic tank. The roads, sidewalks, and irrigation ditches were left in a mess. This prompted the town board to insist on a satisfactory restoration, which finally came in the summer of 1943. For a few years, jurisdiction of the sewer line through Syracuse was under the town board; however, in May of 1944, president of the board, T.J. Thurgood, was appointed to represent Syracuse on the North Davis Sewer Board. In September of 1946, changes were made for a metropolitan system. By the spring of 1951, Dale Smedley was doing all the hookups and repairs. One of the last main sewer lines installed as late as February of 1965 was west of the store corner (1700 South) along the Bluff Road, and then north (3000 West) to the West Point City boundary. Eventually, the system expanded to include all residents, which took more than another decade. Some residents who had sewer lines in front of their house remained unconnected. Health officer Dr. Keith Barnes from Davis County insisted all residents must hook up to the sewer system where available. Eventually, the system expanded to include all residents, which took more than another decade. The North Davis Metropolitan Sewer Association was formed in 1946 to acquire federal funding. Meanwhile, the North Davis Metropolitan Sewer had already been constructed in 1943. By 1954, it had the authority to levy taxes, issue bonds, and construct a sewage collection and treatment system.
EARLY BEGINNINGS The first suggestion of a sewage system for the town was in January of 1942. A special meeting was held March 9, 1942, to see how many of the people favored a sewer line. The vote was unanimous: people favored it.
Thoughts of organizing an all-urban area from Kaysville to Roy under one system with a disposal plant located in Syracuse were first considered in February of 1951. Notably, they even planned to have the disposal plant in Syracuse. At the time, Syracuse City officials were against the move, feeling it was too expensive and the city would not benefit very much. So, the North Davis County Sewage Disposal Plant was completed later, in 1954. All cities included in the district were required to participate, including Syracuse. Today, the District collects and treats wastewater from approximately 80 square miles for a population of about 200,000. The District is made up of the cities of Clearfield, Clinton, Layton, Roy, Sunset, Syracuse, West Point, a small area of Kaysville, Hill Air Force Base, and areas of unincorporated Davis and Weber counties. The district owns and operates approximately 100 miles of sewer collection lines, which deliver wastewater to the treatment facility located near the shoreline of the Great Salt Lake. Against the wishes of those city officials in the 1940s, this facility did, indeed, end up in Syracuse, Utah. The facility has the capacity to treat 34 million gallons of wastewater per day, consistently removing over 95% of pollutants before releasing water back into the lake environment. All sewage travels to one of the district facilities which have been designed to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Then, any by-products of the treatment process are put to beneficial use too. Combustible sewer gas is generated as part of the solids treatment process. The gas is used to fuel engine-driven generators, supplying as much as 60% of the energy needs of the treatment plant and significantly reducing the amount of power that must be purchased from electrical utilities. The anaerobic digestion process and heating for buildings on site is achieved by utilizing heat from generator exhaust and cooling systems. The plant generates approximately 3,000 tons of dried biosolids each year. Upon compliance with federal regulations governing pathogen and pollutant content, these biosolids can be returned to the land and used beneficially as an soil amendment and fertilizer. Now, today’s sewage system still hearkens back to the early settlers’ system. After treatment, water discharged from the plant provides irrigation for all turf grass areas at the treatment plant site and for washdown water throughout the plant site.

Once dipped, pull the apple out above the caramel but still in the pot and twist and twirl it until all the excess drips off. Then, the apples rest on a baking sheet while the caramel hardens.
Now, get some water boiling in a pot. Put the chocolate in a metal bowl and then put that bowl over the boiling pot. You will have to mix the chocolate as it melts.

Special article brought to you by Econ Mortgage
Private Mortgage Insurance A common misconception when using a conventional loan to purchase a home, most people think you must put down a 20% down payment. The fact is that isn’t exactly the full truth. If you do choose to put less than 20% down, you will learn about a term called Private Mortgage Insurance.
What is Private Mortgage Insurance?
Private Mortgage Insurance is a type of insurance required by lenders when less than 20% is put down on a conventional mortgage loan. PMI is required on a loan where the loan amount/balance is above 80% of the value of the home. In 2020 estimated 2 million home buyers began paying PMI premiums. The next question you might be asking is how much will PMI cost me?
The Cost of PMI
Private Mortgage Insurance can be broken into monthly charges on the mortgage statement. The cost of PMI usually ranges from 0.5%-2% of the purchase price of the home each year based on loan amount and credit scores.
How do I get rid of PMI?
You may be asking yourself now that I have closed on my home, will I have to pay PMI forever? PMI doesn’t last forever, once you the loan balance is below 80% of the homes value PMI can be removed by the servicer.
