saac Barton built the first general store in Syracuse in 1888. The assumption is that it was built to accommodate the growing population and the bathing resort. It is believed that he sold the store in 1891 to three brothers, James T., Daniel H., and Ephraim Walker, and it became known as the Walker Store. In 1901, the first telephone was installed there. The line from Hooper cost $300. James T. Walker had two daughters, Mattie and Golda, who took and delivered messages. Because of a growing population above the bluff, the building of a new store was begun that same year in November and completed in April of 1902. It was built on the southwest corner of Antelope and 2000 West, with the help of four other investors, William Criddle, Charles A. Layton, Arnold Miller, and Samuel Cook. That store was called the Syracuse Mercantile. The first party line came to the Walker Brothers’ store below the bluff in 1903. In 1909, the Davis County Independent Company1 brought a party line to the Syracuse Mercantile to connect those above the bluff. William Criddle was one of the first to have a telephone in his home. Others soon followed. Telephone service cost $1.00 a month but had up to nine customers on one line.2

I came along in the 1950s. In the 1960s, we were still dependent on party lines, my first experience with eavesdropping. By the late sixties, we had a private line. By the early seventies, cell phones were being introduced, making communication mobile. On August 6, 1991, the World Wide Web became available to the public.

Syracuse Fire Department Annual Open House Canceled
Employee Spotlight-
by FIRE CHIEF, AARON BYINGTON
Our employee spotlight for this month is Holly Thurgood! Holly is in Administration and does payroll for the city employees. She excels in problem solving, staying educated and informed, and keeping up morale in the office. She is the first face new employees see, and she has fantastic positive energy.
We regret to announce that after careful consideration and in consultation with the health department and city officials, the fire department will be canceling this year’s open house. This was a difficult decision to make, but as COVID-19 numbers once again begin to increase, we felt it was important to delay another year and play our part in keeping the community safe. Additionally, this decision will also help us keep our firefighters safe and healthy so they may continue being prepared to respond to emergencies within our community. Thank you for your understanding. We miss you and look forward to seeing you next year.
Holly Thurgood
When she’s not crunching numbers, Holly enjoys working out, hiking, camping, hammocking with friends, sitting on the beach with a good book, and spending time with her niece and nephews.
THANK YOU for your hard work and dedication to our city residents! October 2021 | syracuseconnection.com 5

Please be sure to keep your water meter lids and secondary water valve lids accessible. Please be sure that new landscape does not cover or bury the lids. Trim overgrowth of lawn and vegetation to prevent them from covering the lid. This will allow the city to provide better
Properly storing and disposing of materials greatly reduces the potential for environmental contamination. With a change in the weather coming soon, it’s a great time to cover up, contain, secure, and properly store any kind of potential pollutants to prevent it from going into a storm drain. All containers should be closed when not in use. They should be stored off the ground and under cover to be protected from the outside elements. Be sure to properly label the containers and make it legible. Any chemicals, petroleum, or fertilizers should be stored with a second containment.

How to Build a GO BAG BY BRIGHAM C. YOUNG, DPC
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR AN EMERGENCY? Have you considered what kind of disasters we might anticipate in Syracuse? Ready.gov provides a complete list - www.ready. gov/be-informed - and an in-depth guide to preparedness that covers all of these potential disasters: www.ready.gov/sites/ default/files/2021-03/are-you-ready-guide.pdf Since you do not know where you will be when an emergency occurs, it is recommended that you prepare a portable kit of supplies for each member of your family for home, work, and cars (more car kit info here www.ready.gov/car). This will allow you to grab what you need and leave in a hurry. What should you include in that 72-hour kit?
• Food (at least a three-day supply of non-perishable food and a way to prepare it)
This list is certainly not all inclusive. A quick search on the internet for “72-hour kits” will give you plenty of other ideas and suggestions. You can find places where you may purchase these items or even buy the entire kit prepacked. If you have pets, infants, or other special needs, you will want to adjust accordingly. Re-think your needs yearly and update your kits as your family changes. You should think about what to store all your items in. A watertight container is ideal for keeping a 72-Hour Kit. Also consider a rolling suitcase, backpack (each child could have their own), rolling tub, rolling garbage can, fishing vest or tactical/military vest. Contemplate the best place to store these containers for easy access.
So, where do you start? Begin with supplies you already have and build up your go bag as quickly as possible. Having your go bag will give you more peace of mind as you anticipate emergencies that will surely come!
Here are recommended Items to Include in a Basic Emergency Supply Kit: • Water (one gallon per person per day for several days, for drinking and sanitation)
• Cell phone with chargers and a backup battery
+
Remember to adjust your kit if you have pets or infants.
• Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert • Flashlight • First aid kit • Extra batteries • Whistle (to signal for help) • Dust mask (to help filter contaminated air) • Plastic sheeting and duct tape (to shelter in place) • Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and plastic ties (for personal sanitation) • Wrench or pliers (to turn off utilities) • Manual can opener (for food) • Local maps

The Not-So-Spooky History of the Syracuse Cemetery BY JENNY GOLDSBERRY
W
hen the cemetery was first laid out in 1896, conditions in Syracuse were very different. Today’s roads didn’t exist. Homes were few and scattered. The cemetery lots were roughly measured with a tape measure. The sections were designated by stakes with section numbers and four holes. However, even with this crude method, it was found after modern surveying that they had actually been very accurate. Not one grave had to be moved. Fencing was installed around part of the cemetery. For many years, the care of the cemetery was provided by each individual family. Some had fences around each section, others lined the graves with rocks, a few planted flowers which bloomed every year. After the town was organized in 1935, one of the first acts was to improve and beautify the Syracuse Cemetery. A plan was laid out. There was even a separate cemetery account set up for perpetual funds. Elton J. Bennett was made chairman of the beautification project at the cemetery. Work began in the spring of 1939, with one of the projects to be a joint effort with the West Branch Irrigation Company to line the big open ditch in front with rock and mortar. The ditch company donated $300, plus part of the labor. The following Memorial Day, the town board decided to sponsor a Memorial Day Dedication program. Elton Bennett was chosen as chairman with Joseph Thurgood, Carl Barber, and Fern Stoker as members. A similar Memorial Day program continues today, over 80 years later. In 1961, Reese Stoker and Fern Williams sold their combined 3.59 acres for the price of $1200 per acre. Their land was at a slightly lower elevation than the rest of the cemetery. As a result, the city had to bring in landfill three feet deep to bring the new part of the cemetery high enough to match the old part. From the conception of the cemetery in 1896 to the present, it has been of primary importance to develop and beautify the

cemetery. There has been a diligent effort to make it the beautiful cemetery it is today, a place where residents of Syracuse might go to honor their loved ones.
There have been many acts of dedicated service. Some people can remember David Warren spending all night on Halloween in the cemetery, preventing harmful destruction to grave markers. On any given year, it is typical to see a pack of cub scouts planting flowers, a family cleaning off the hard water deposits from the monument, and the Syracuse Lions Club donating hundreds of dollars and many hours to install the beautiful American flags. Today, there are still regular cleanups. In fact, there are three to keep in mind as you honor your friends and family. On the 1st Monday in April, the Monday following Memorial Day, and the 1st Monday in November, absolutely everything will be cleaned up and thrown away: flowers, shepherd’s hooks, and all. If you leave anything sentimental on a grave, be sure to pick it up the night before any of these deadlines. This has been the scheduled clean up since 2018. Are you thinking about a plot of your own? At Syracuse Cemetery, plots for residents cost $500; for non-residents, plots costs $1,000.

The Browns train animals for the BIG SCREEN ARTICLE BY HAILEY MINTON / PHOTOS BY MELISSA SPELTS
Mike and his three brothers grew up right at the mouth of the North Ogden Canyon. Each of them have followed in their parents’ footsteps by training animals to be used on movie sets. It began as a family affair, and it continues today, even as each of their families grow. Mike’s parents, Ginger and Ron Brown, were involved in a Wild West show in New Jersey. Trick riding and Roman riding shows were a part of their repertoire. Roman riding involves a team of two horses. A rider stands with one foot on the back of each and rides them around the arena while performing various stunts. Both Ron and Ginger did this! Mike said there was a lot of external pressure for their family to pursue the entertainment business full time. “My father and mother were contacted multiple times to be circus animal trainers. However, they knew family was the thing that mattered most, so they passed on opportunities that might have given them fame and more fortune. They wanted to make sure we were raised in the best way for us. They stuck around and had their teaching jobs, so they could have that stability for us,” said Mike. Mike’s wife, Brandice, told me the entertainment industry can be hit or miss. Sometimes, they’ll go a few months between jobs. To be offered consistent work and then to pass it up must have been tough. Mike said, “You can follow fame and money, and that will sometimes get you some things in life. But, ultimately, at the end of the day, what really matters is your family, children, and where you sit with those relationships. They made some
decisions to continue working with the animals and still be grounded.” Mike’s parents were teachers in Weber County, so the summers were their time to participate in shows. “We’d go to rodeos, fairs, Wild West shows, and big productions on the East Coast. In the early 90s, they transitioned their business to movie work, and in ’94, they started a business of doing horseback rides and wagon rides on Antelope Island for 25 years.” The Browns’ reputation, involvement with training animals, and the connections they made with other professional trainers paved their way into the movie scene. Brandice talked about how skilled Ron was as a trainer. She explained he could train a horse to perform a specific action in minutes; it could take someone else hours or days. “His timing was so good,” she said. The Browns have trained and handled animals for movies, including Return to Lonesome Dove, Far and Away, and most recently, the fourth season of the Book of Mormon videos for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. You can safely assume the Browns had a role with the animals seen in the recent Bible and Book of Mormon videos. Ron passed away in 2015 after battling cancer, but his wife and all of the family still come together to help in the productions. Most of the time, they have all the animals they need among their family members. Brandice explained that, sometimes, they get requests for animals they don’t have, like rats. She said she would rather rent and train them for the scenes where they’re needed instead of having a long-term commitment of caring for them. Mike said, “We rely on so many people even outside of our family unit who

HUNTER THE ECLECTUS PARROT Brandice is holding Hunter, an eightyear-old Eclectus parrot. The key to him doing well on movie sets is regularly exposing him to loud and stimulating environments. The only time it’s quiet on a movie set is when they’re shooting a scene. Brandice takes him or at least one of her animals to pet friendly stores like Lowes, Home Depot, or Tractor Supply when she needs something there. “The noise and surroundings of the places help them get comfortable with it.” You can see Hunter in a Studio C episode when season 15 airs this coming spring. Brandice and her son, Brighton, were there on the set together. The scene involves an actor falling into the actress holding Hunter. Through all the chaos, Hunter was calm enough. Brighton was ready to go catch him in case Hunter tried to get away, but that never happened. specialties than we do. They also help provide animals for different projects that come up. It’s good to have a network of people who know what they’re doing… You really grow collectively that way.” His parents worked with some of the well-known trainers back in their time. They passed their knowledge to Mike and his brothers, but they and their families have also learned more as time has gone on. Mike said people are always getting better at training animals using better techniques. You can take a little portion of how another person trains and add it to your program. “The ultimate goal is to have better breeding and better techniques that improve your animals and what you can do with them.” Brandice explained that planning out when to shoot different scenes is important. Getting an animal, like a dog, to respond aggressively in a scene evokes that emotion in them. It isn’t realistic to shoot a scene like that and then try to shoot a cozy scene with someone petting the dog afterwards on the same day. She has also noticed a big difference between animals (like dogs) that have more predator-driven instincts versus animals 18 syracuseconnection.com | October 2021
(like horses) that are more fear driven in their behaviors. Brandice explained sometimes they need a horse to listen to a voice command, but they usually respond more readily from body language. “You have to have a lot of trust in your animal.” She stressed that it takes a lot of time and work to get an animal to do what you want it to do. She said it’s pretty neat to release a horse on the salt flats and send them galloping away at full speed, then have them return when given an audible command. As time has passed, Mike and each of his siblings and their families have specialized in training different animals. Mike’s wife, Brandice, works primarily with dogs. Their son, Brighton, loves birds of all types, and Wyatt is really good with horses and dogs. Lonnie Brown and his wife, Elizabeth, have branched out into reindeer. They have a reindeer educational program and give tours during the holidays at Rockin Reindeer Ranch in Taylor. Ryan Brown was instrumental in finishing up the years out at Antelope Island after their father passed away. “All of us are keeping the tradition alive of what we grew up doing,” said Mike.

Chicken Pot Pie BY RYAN SPELTS
Homemade Pie Crust 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled, cut into small cubes ½ cup vegetable shortening 8 Tbsp cold ice water Combine flour, salt, butter, and shortening in a food processor. Or, if you’re like me and like handling the dough, put it in a bowl and use a pastry cutter to mix the ingredients. Mix in the water a tablespoon at a time as you pulse or cut it in. The result should be a crumbly, powdery mix with pea sized lumps. Do not over mix. Dump mixture out on the counter, divide into two, and shape into discs. Do not over-knead dough; it’s okay if it’s a little crumbly. Wrap each in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour. Homemade Chicken Pot Pie Filling ⅓ cup butter ½ a medium onion chopped ⅓ cup flour
½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper 1 ¾ cup chicken broth ½ cup milk 2 cups of cooked shredded chicken ½ cup of frozen peas ½ cup of diced carrot ½ cup of diced celery Preheat oven to 400 degrees F In a saucepan, cook onions with butter until soft and translucent. Stir in flour, pepper, and veggies. Slowly stir in chicken broth and milk. Simmer over medium-low until thick and carrots are cooked through. Place one dough disc (the other one stays in fridge) on a floured surface and roll out with a rolling pin. Form into a circle and carefully lay in a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. If the dough gets wet looking, it is too warm. After you roll it out and place it in your pan, you should put it back in the refrigerator. Pour chicken filling mixture into prepared pie plate. Roll out top crust and place on top of chicken filling. Cut off any hanging dough, then, use your fingers to create a design around the crust. If you like to make it fancy, you can cut in strips and do a weaved top or just roll it out, cut it to size, and place it on top. Cut slits in top crust to let steam out. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes or until golden brown. If the crust is getting too brown around edges, wrap in foil.
