SS City Councilman Eagle Mounsheds light on new tain resident reigning shopping district Thursday, September 16, 2010
By Emily Fortheringham Staff Writer
The City of Saratoga Springs may soon be looking at some major economic growth. In a recent press release the city announced plans to build a large shopping district, with the first phase being planned for the area where Pioneer Crossing and Redwood Road align. Michael McOmber, a City Councilman for Saratoga Springs, states, “This development is unique to Utah and beneficial to Saratoga Springs.” The current plan includes using 275 acres of Saratoga Springs’ land. The district is being touted as “innovative” with the press release stating that it is “Something that has not been seen in Utah before.” Plans for the new shopping district
include a number of big box businesses, restaurants, an amphitheater, and even a movie theater.
Also slated for the area is a main street, which pedestrians will be free to walk. According to Councilman McOmber, “It is going to be a walkable Main Street between City Hall and the library on the north end and the movie theater complex on the south end. The stores will include retail, clothing, restaurants/cafes, and other commercial businesses.” The press release references the large number of growth expected to be seen in the Saratoga Springs/Eagle Mountain area, making it an ideal area for this sort of shopping district. Future plans also include a Mountain View Corridor hub. A goal of the city’s is to “enhance the ability for area residents to live, work, play, and stay in
our community.” McOmber addresses the time frame saying, “In short, the sooner the better. However it takes time to build up the infrastructure that will support the development.” He continues, “However, as demand continues to come in from interested businesses, it will apply pressure to getting things done quickly. We would hope to see our first buildings within the next 12-18 months, but a lot of factors go into these timelines that are uncontrollable.” Although a number of business are interested in moving to such a site, the city is currently unable to lists names, however McOmber does say that Deseret Industries and Distribution is an interested party. Those interested can watch for more information to be added to the city’s website at www.saratogasprings.net.
Fundraiser allows families to become permanent part of SS library
To help the Saratoga Springs library get up and running, organizers are planning to sell tiles that
will be placed in the interior design of the story time and children’s section of the library. The tiles, which will be sold for $10 a tile at events sponsored by the library, will be able to be decorated by the purchaser. The
tiles will then be kiln-fired and displayed at the library. Organizers are looking for volunteers to help with the fundraiser project. For more information, contact Kim at kimtolman@live.com.

Move over Cinderella, Utah has a new reigning queen. Ashalon Goodrich, a resident of Eagle Mountain, was chosen in June to represent the State of Utah as the 2010 Mrs. Utah America. Now the married mother of three is kept busy using her title to serve the state. Originally from Canada, Goodrich moved to Utah at seventeen to attend Brigham Young University, where she graduated with a degree in audiology and speech pathology. She and her husband, Brian Goodrich, have lived in Eagle Mountain for just over three years. For a long time Goodrich didn’t know there was a Mrs. Utah pageant, but after a friend entered a similar pageant last year, Goodrich’s husband thought it would be a perfect opportunity for his wife. Unbeknownst to her he entered her in the pageant, an action that didn’t thrill Ashalon, but it has turned out to be one of the best experiences of her life. The contestants were judged on three categories: 25 percent swimsuit, 25 percent evening gown, and 50 percent interview, where the women had the oppor-
tunity to highlight their platform. Goodrich’s platform was “Bringing hope to special needs children.” She focused on health and nutrition, organization, programs and education. Her platform is close to her heart having been around special needs children all her life. The oldest of five, all her siblings struggled with different challenges, including: a sister with autism, a sister born at 24 weeks with accompanying difficulties, and an adopted brother with fetal alcohol syndrome. Now Goodrich is the mother of a five year old boy with autism. Preparing for the pageant was much more work than Goodrich was anticipating. Being a ballroom dancer gave her a leg up in the swimsuit and evening gown competitions, and she had a good friend coach her for the interview portion, which is the majority of the final score. Goodrich recently returned from the national contest, where she didn’t make the finals, but states it was “amazing to be surrounded by 51 talented and gorgeous women all willing to serve.” Those interested in learning more about Goodrich’s platform can visit her website at warriormothers.blogspot.com

What do you think ?
Local woman tries to be ‘The Biggest Loser’ Thursday, September 16, 2010
By Kara Traveller Staff Writer
With little league soccer, football and flag football in full swing, The Crossroads Journal asked local residents:
What do you think about keeping score at little league sports? “I think for pre-school age it's not necessary, but for older kids like first grade and up, it's an important way to teach them good sportsmanship and the importance of having fun win or lose.”
When local fans tune in to “The Biggest Loser” this September they have someone from home to cheer for. Burgandy Keel of Eagle Mountain was selected to participate in Season 10 of “The Biggest Loser” on NBC. The season premier is Tuesday, September 21 at 7 p.m. “The Biggest Loser” puts 21 contestants on a ranch in a contest to see who can lose the most weight. Each contestant must face competitions, grueling work outs, and other challenges. Keel is a military wife, mother of five and foster mother. She explains how she became a contestant on the popular TV show. “I decided to audition with a friend of mine who is a single father because we both wanted to finally make permanent, healthy changes in our lives. I also want-
ed to have a support person with me on the ranch. When I was chosen and he wasn't, it was disappointing and exciting at the same time. I wished he could have been there, but I was honored to be chosen.” After Keel made it past the first audition, she flew to Portland with her family to film the first episode. At that time she still did not know she was going to be on the show. “In Portland I had to run a mile to earn my spot on the ranch which was a wonderful feeling. I felt like it was my first victory in this journey,” said Keel. Keel cannot say much about the show, but she can say she learned a lot from the experience. “The most important thing I learned on the ranch and through this whole experience was to never put limits on myself, then work as hard as you can to achieve your goals.” Keel continues, “I also learned that
self discipline and telling yourself no is the first step to molding yourself into the person you can become. Every day I have to tell myself no, you can't eat that. Or no, you can't stop running even though you're tired.” Though the experience was trying she has had a wonderful experience. “I have loved being on the show and bonding with the other cast members,” she said. She also wants to encourage others in the community to “get out.” Keel states, “In Eagle Mountain we have such beautiful trails and outdoor spaces I would love to encourage everyone to get outside with your families and start moving.” She also extends an invitation to local residents. Keel has started a local running/walking group in the area. Those interesting in joining meet at the Chevron in the Ranches at 5:30 a.m. Monday- Saturday to walk or run for 60 minutes.

COMMUNITY CALENDAR

Thoughts to actions A couple of weeks back I read an article in a local paper regarding one individual’s angst against the City of Saratoga Springs with respect to the city not keeping the its properties in compliance with the cities own weed abatement and fire code restrictions. Although I agree that we all should do our best to comply with the city ordinances, sometimes it is hard to cover all our bases and there are usually extenuating circumstances involved. Within our Stillwater community here in Saratoga Springs there has been an attitude of willingness to help amongst the residences. There are two vacated properties that have challenges with them presently. Weeds, tall grass, windblown papers, lack of water, debris, along with the tumble weeds, seem to be plaguing these properties more as they sit empty. Neighbors have banded together with the permission of the owners on title to these properties to assist in the removal of the weeds, debris mow and water the grass. The neighbors have also agreed to take water turns with the secondary water system to prevent thousands of dollars of damage to their beautiful landscaping. As I drive through other developments I can see lawns burning up through unfortunate abandonment and neglect. What is equally painful is to see the life in the trees and shrubbery wither and die. I know, none of us looked forward with anticipation to see this current economy falter. No one that I know was just waiting for their stocks and 401K’s to diminish. Who would have thought that you would purchase a home just thinking --how soon can I lose my job and have to walk away from this beautiful home or have to put it into a short sale? I do not know of anyone cheering that they will now have to add four to eight additional years of employment before they can retire. What to me is overwhelmingly sad-
dening is I know none of us decided to get married with the intention of -- how soon can something go wrong and dissolve the marriage and bring all the devastating fall out that comes with it? I understand that “Life Happens.” These struggles that I have mentioned above and many others I have not mentioned can and are reflective to some degree in the signs of the dying landscapes we see around the vacated homes in our neighborhoods. The families of Stillwater are no different and struggling as we all are; however with that struggle has emerged the opportunity to serve. Service is raised to a new level when neighbors ban together and go the extra mile in their willingness to do whatever they can to save these landscapes along with other services that need attention in our communities. I believe everyone has the right to voice opinions and concerns when they think something is not quite right or needs to be changed; however I would ask --- are we willing to be part of the solution, lobby for change to make things become better or just blowing off some steam? Just one or a handful of people poses a tremendous power in making a difference in their neighborhood for good. This past weekend neighbors, independent of an HOA mandate or any church affiliation, banded together to assist a mother of five whose husband is now working in Seattle to support his family. They cut and removed the weeds around her home to meet the city ordinance and HOA guidelines. Seven people gave of their time to help this family who, in turn, showed the utmost gratefulness for the service they were rendered. I am amazed at the willingness of so many who do not stop with voicing their opinions but, will take action in giving service. It’s great to be living here in Stillwater at Saratoga Springs. Working together it will get done! Emil Knudsen Saratoga Springs

Pony Express Elementary PTA Jog-A-Thon
Thursday, September 16, 2010
Students at Pony Express Elementary will be jogging their way to great activities and programs at the first ever PTA Jog-A-Thon. This innovative fundraiser combines exercise, community involvement, and fundraising into one fun package. Students will collect donations and then participate in the Jog-A-Thon on Friday, September 24, at noon. The jogging course will begin at the school, and wind through adjacent neighborhoods. Parents and neighbors will line the streets to cheer on the students as they jog the one mile course; local police cruisers will lead the way as pace cars; and the EM Fire Department will be on hand with the fire truck.
Local civic leaders, teachers and even the principal will be joining in the jogging. Prizes will be awarded in each grade level. PTA Fundraising Chair Elizabeth Jameson states, “We are so excited for this fundraiser. We will keep 100 percent of the donations right here at the school for the students. If each student collects just $10 in donations, our programs will be fully funded this year.” The PTA hopes to raise $10,000 for programs such as Trading Post (reading incentives), health and safety programs, Patriotic Week, Family Skate Night, and teacher appreciation. To get involved, please contact Pony Express Elementary at 801-789-2600.

EM City Council Notes Thursday, September 16, 2010
By Sali Burningham Staff Writer September 7, 2010 The Policy Session of the Eagle Mountain City Council was called to order by Mayor Jackson a little after 7:00 p.m., with Donna Burnham, Ryan Ireland, Nathan Ochsenhirt and John Painter in attendance. Information items/upcoming events There was an open house in Lehi to inform the public about the status of the Front Runner project, which is scheduled for completion in fall of 2012. Public comments Dennis Price questioned the variances in property taxes and asked for an explanation. A resident in the military, Glen Black questioned the display of US flags at night along Sweetwater Road, commenting that they were not properly backlit. Mayor Jackson offered information that what the city is doing is proper. Black suggested using volunteer organizations to get the flags up and down. Zac Huish thanked the city, on behalf of his daughter, Sadie, who died of brain cancer, for their support in the fundraiser for pediatric brain cancer research. Tiffany Ulmer expressed thanks for Pioneer Crossing and asked if something could be done about the short 25 mph zone on Pony Express Parkway past the schools in Saratoga Springs. Mayor Jackson has been working with Mayor Love of Saratoga Springs to try to solve that issue. City Council/Mayor’s items Council members expressed
appreciation for the number of citizens who applied to complete the term of office made vacant by Eric Cieslak’s move to Chicago. Ochsenhirt asked for a progress report on the Plum Creek Development left turn lane along Pony Express Parkway near the fire station that he had recently requested. Painter expressed a feeling of appreciation at the improvements we are enjoying in the city. He also thanked Mayor Jackson for her efforts in following up on projects and keeping the council informed. Ireland thanked the Public Works team for the new trail to the new elementary school. Jackson reported that they had requested a grant for the trail to the new school and had received $42,000, which freed up funds in the city budget that could be used for other portions of the trail system. Appointment Eric Dow was appointed to the Economic Development Board. Councilman Ireland moved to approve the appointment, which was immediately seconded and unanimously passed. Dow was then administered the oath of office by City Recorder Fionnuala Kofoed. Consent agenda The consent agenda included the August 17 minutes of the regular City Council meeting and the August 19 town hall meeting, as well as a Bond Release into Warranty for Willow Springs Phase 4. There was also a resolution for a minor amendment to the 2008 Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual regarding General Safety and OSHA. Councilwoman Burnham motioned to approve, received a second, and it was unanimously
passed. Scheduled items RESOLUTION authorizing and approving the Horse Butte Wind Project power sales contract with Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems; and related matters. The city is a participant in the Horse Butte Wind Project sponsored by UAMPS. The contract before the council is a long-term power purchase agreement between the city and UAMPS for the purchase of wind energy from the Horse Butte Wind Project. Staff recommends that the council approve the resolution authorizing the execution of the power sales contract between UAMPS and Eagle Mountain City as proposed by UAMPS at the equity participation level recommended by the city administrator. Ochsenhirt had questions about the percentage of power to which the city was committing. Adam Ferre explained that, while we could probably use 33 percent of the available power, the city had committed to 25 percent to ensure they could meet the quota. Ferre added that there are two wind farms already operating on either side of the Horse Butte Wind Project. If the wind farm was not a viable option, they would not have built in the same area. Ireland asked when the power would be generated. Ferre replied that power would be generated day and night and marketed if not needed for Eagle Mountain use. Burnham moved to approve a resolution to execute the contract at five megawatts. The motion was seconded and unanimously approved. MOTION for consideration and appointment of a candidate to fill the city council vacancy created by the

The council had hoped for a few interested parties and received 16 applications from residents meeting the requirements for service on the City Council. The person appointed to the City Council will serve until January 2, 2012. Those who applied to serve out Cieslak’s term were: Nikki Wickman, Darin Garrett, Jon Celaya, Vincent Liddiard, Mark Rivenbark, Greg Ford, Brice Bitter, Kendel Saunders, Jesus Medina, Bryan Free, Cory Bargeron, Jon Barclay and Oliver Brown. Two applicants did not attend the meeting. Each of the interested parties had received a list of 11 questions, wherein they were asked their highest priority issues for the city, skills they would bring to the council, suggestions for improving transportation in the city, and philosophy of local government, among other questions.
Each candidate was given five minutes to answer the questions as names were randomly drawn from a container. This was followed up with two minutes of questions from City Council members. A five-minute break was called while the city recorder compiled the council’s votes to determine the names of those who would be further interviewed. Applicants and council members milled around the council chambers and conversed with each other as they waited anxiously for the announcement of who would proceed to the next step. The top four who were further interviewed were Kendel Saunders, Brice Bitter, Mark Rivenbark, (all living in City Center) and Jon Celaya (residing in The Ranches).

Little Pictures, Big Payoff Big movies with huge stars grab the headlines and most of the box-office dollars. But occasionally, small movies squeak through that are ultimately more satisfying than the blockbusters. Here’s a few little pictures from recent memory that you may not have seen – or even heard of – that may surprise you. Me & Orson Welles (2009) – This is maybe my favorite movie of last year. Me & Orson Welles is a rollicking period piece about a high school kid (Zac Efron) who gets cast in Welles’ landmark stage production of Julius Caesar. Efron’s character learns about theater, love and the monstrous ego of Welles, a larger-than-life persona perched on the periphery of world-wide fame. Before I continue in my praise, I should admit that not everybody will like Welles. The title character (Orson, not Me) is unlikable, and there is no pat resolution that is totally satisfying. But as a window into an era when theatrical history was being made, it is outstanding. Christian McKay plays Welles with a panache and conceit that’s enviable, and he captures Welles’ trademark sonorous voice perfectly. Efron is good as usual as a precocious boy entering a man’s world, and Claire Danes is believable as his unexpected muse. The movie visually evokes scenes from Citizen Kane, too, so fill buffs will be in movie heaven. Remember Me (2010) – For Twilight fans who think there’s just not enough “Edward” in the movies these days, Robert Pattinson stars in Remember Me, a romance about two 20-somethings with troubled pasts who are drawn to each other for their wit, wisdom and shared angst. Ally (Emilie de Ravin, most famous as Claire from TV’s “Lost”) is the daughter of a police detective who roughs up Tyler (Pattinson). They meet when Tyler’s roommate (Tate Ellington) urges Tyler to date her to get back at the cop. Romance ensues. What’s refreshing about Remember Me is that it doesn’t feel like every other romantic drama out there. The dialogue is solid, the performances nat-
ural, and sure, Pattinson still broods a lot, but at least he smiles once in awhile. Unfortunately, the movie is memorable largely for a plot development that tends to overshadow the rest of the film. Still, it’s a nice change of pace for fans of interesting characters. The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (2009) – In a traveling sideshow of wonders and imagination, Dr. Parnassus (Christopher Plummer) invites audience members through a looking glass and into a fantastical world of their own creation. Once into the mirror, the audience gets a fate of its own choosing, as Parnassus tries to save souls in order to save his own. But when the sideshow rescues a doomed man (Heath Ledger, in his final performance), Parnassus’s quest for souls takes a strange turn in surreal battle between good and evil. Confused? I think that’s the point. Ledger passed away halfway through filming. Hence, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law make interesting cameos as Ledger’s alter ego. This movie will mostly appeal to Ledger, Depp, Farrell and Law fans (that about covers all the females in the room). The visuals of the fantasy worlds alone are worth the price of rental, staggering images of incredible imagination. Most viewers will get frustrated with the convoluted storytelling, but it’s a feast for the eyes. The Host (2006) – Chemical waste dumped in the ocean creates a kingsized monster that may not be as big as Godzilla, but it’s a lot more entertaining. When it captures a girl to keep in its food storage, the girl’s family joins forces to find her. This Korean movie is campy fun, with special effects way better than they have any right to be. The Road (2010) – In The Road, Cormac McCarthy’s bleak masterpiece, a father (played by Viggo Mortensen) and son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk through a barren landscape in a post apocalyptic world. Though they are headed somewhere, there is really no place to go: The Earth is dying, there are no plants, animals or food, and the only living humans are those who’ve presumably done whatever was necessary to survive, such as turning to cannibalism. If your idea of a great movie is pure escapism that makes you happy, let me
steer you to The Princess and the Frog. The Road is both difficult and brilliant, as an allegory of man’s existence as well as a mirror of the good and bad of which he’s capable. It’s haunting, relentless and strangely life-affirming. Whip It (2009) -- In Whip It, a small town high school girl (Ellen Page), tired of the pageant circuit her mom espouses, finds a rebellious outlet at a local big-city roller derby match. When she learns that the team is having auditions, she tries out and lands a spot. It’s a rough-and-tumble new world that she finds dangerous and exciting … as long as she can keep it from her parents (Marcia Gay Harden, Daniel Stern). Having teenage girls myself, about the last thing I wanted to see was a movie about a disobedient teen girl drawn to anarchy. Nevertheless, this debut directorial outing by Drew Barrymore is infectious, with fun, likable characters, and is by far the best movie ever about roller derby. Ellen Page is appealing as a petite girl among tough roller derby pros, and a strong supporting cast (including Kristen Wiig, Juliette Lewis and Jimmy Fallon) adds to the charm. Due to pervasive rebelliousness, I’d still be careful which kids I included in screening it. Departures (2009) – In the Japanese movie Departures, a young married man (played by Masahiro Motokiloses his job as an orchestra cellist when the orchestra disbands due to small audiences. Seeking a new vocation, he answers a want ad for an “NK agent” to assist with “departures.” What he thinks is a vocation in travel turns out to be a job preparing the dead for entrance into the afterlife. Winner of several Japanese awards and the Oscar for Best Foreign Language film in 2009, Departures is a sweet portrait of a sincere man seeking to do what’s right while fulfilling his role as husband. While often funny, it is more often poignant and filled with humanity. Departures features beautiful images, warm performances and some heart-tugging moments. It’s a “must” for foreign film fans, and not a bad place to start for those who’ve never seen a subtitled movie. ****** Write to The Cinemaniac at mwnabhan@aol.com.

Let’s take a little test. For the next 60 seconds you will read the following words and I want you to think about the foods that come to mind: 1. Baseball 2. Love 3. Campfire 4. Ocean 5. Winter 6. Summer 7. Diner 8. Fong Okay, did you pass the test? I’m sure you did, as there are no right or wrong answers, but I would guess that there would be a lot of similar responses. Today my answers would include: hot dogs for baseball, chocolate for love, s’mores for campfires. I might say seafood for ocean, soup or hot chocolate for winter, and watermelon, potato salad and hamburgers for summer. There are certain “food stereotypes” that are associated with places, holidays, phrases or words. Let’s take the word diner. I’m thinking of a place with checkerboard floors, and vinyl upholstered booths, where the colors might include red, black and white. Neon lights are very possible along with a jukebox in the corner. It would even be appropriate to be served by a waitress on roller skates. Of course you know what they would serve… greasy burgers, great fries and tall, frosty, delicious shakes. Now what would happen if you had a diner style restaurant that served Chinese food? To me that would seem very strange, as if some unwritten law had been broken. Well,

the other day I was driving down State Road in Pleasant Grove and looked at what used to be Spanky’s- a pretty cool 50’s style diner. To my surprise, instead of seeing “Spanky’s” on the diner sign I saw “Fong.” I said to myself, “That’s odd.” Well, it was a challenge for me to fight the “that’s odd” feeling and just go give it a try. They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, right? Well, I was hopeful the same rule applied for this restaurant. Fong is an Asian restaurant, of course, that actually has locations in Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Alpine, Highland and Cedar Hills. They serve a variety of Asian foods including Thai, Japanese, traditional Chinese, and sushi. I ordered a bento combo. It included Thai coconut curry chicken, lo mien, 2 crispy pot stickers and 4 pieces of a California roll. This is what I thought: The sushi was delicious. It was beautifully presented and it was fresh. The lo mien was good, but it was only slightly warm- like it had been sitting for a while. Yes, that’s somewhat frustrating, but it wasn’t cold, it just wasn’t hot. The potstickers were good. I have never had them crispy before. I prefer the steamed ones, but
it was nice to try something different. What about the curry chicken? I was pleasantly surprised. It was sweet and creamy and had just the right combination of flavors. It was not too hot or too cold. It was just right. One thing that I actually loved about Fong was that the chicken was all white meat. I really don’t like ordering a chicken dish and then spending the rest of my evening picking the good pieces from the fatty ones. I seem to do that too often. All white meat was a very nice surprise and I would be willing to go there just for that reason. So, even though I had to fight the urge to order a cold strawberry shake with my Asian dinner, and despite my preconceived notion of the “wrongness” of serving Asian food in a diner, Fong was surprisingly good. So try, with me, to forget the stereotypes. Just as long as Fong doesn’t bring in a jukebox or start serving their food on roller skates, I think I, we, they, will all be okay. Fong is located in Pleasant grove at 674 N 2000 W. Hours: Monday-Thursday 11:00-9:30, Friday 11:00-10:00, Saturday 12:00-10:00, Closed Sundays.

Nothing says fresh more than this homemade salsa for chips and Mexican dishes—fresh-cut tomatoes and onions, with a touch of cilantro and lime. I cannot think of a better way to use tomatoes from the garden. 8-10 Roma tomatoes, diced 1/2 medium white onion, diced 5 green onions, chopped 1/2 bunch fresh cilantro (leaves only) chopped
1 jalapeño, diced (for a mild flavor, seed jalapeño first) Juice of 1 lime 1/3 cup white vinegar Salt to taste
Toss all ingredients together in a large bowl. Refrigerate for one hour so flavors can blend. Will stay fresh for 23 days in the refrigerator.

The Crossroads Journal
In 2010, the Saratoga Springs Police Department has handled a total of 4,863 offenses, year to date. The department handled 497 reported incidents in August, 2010, compared to 517 in 2009 and 422 in 2008, which is a 17 percent annual increase over the past two years average. Case sampling for August 2010 Drugs, driving, and deception An SSPD officer conducted a routine traffic stop on a vehicle with an expired registration. The driver, who claimed that he didn’t have a license in possession, also gave the officer a false date of birth. When the officer discovered who the driver really was, he found the driver had a suspended license. During the traffic stop, the officer also suspected drug use by the driver, and found the driver had been smoking marijuana. He was also illegally possessing prescription drugs. The driver was arrested. Family problem SSPD officers responded to the SSD subdivision on the report of a family fight. The suspect had allegedly become upset at his wife. He had been depressed and a verbal argument ensued. After the argument with his wife, he reportedly went to their bedroom and broke several items, along with overturning furniture. After the incident, it was reported the suspect left their home in a vehicle, possessing a handgun. Officers were able to locate the man within a few minutes. He was safely apprehended and transported to the Utah County Jail, charged with domestic violence related criminal mischief. School construction theft On August 9, officers were asked to take a theft report at the new Aspen Hills elementary school construction site. The building contractor, Hogan Construction, had several tool sheds burglarized during that weekend. Thieves cut the shed locks and took-off with several expensive power tools, a laptop computer and a cordless camera. Football fight On August 4, members of the Westlake High School Football Team were involved in a physical altercation with other members of the team. It was reported that teammates drove-by a vehicle being occupied by the other team members. As they
passed, the suspect students threw dirt into the vehicle being driven by the victim student. The victim exited his vehicle and asked the other boys to stop throwing items toward his car. The other boys confronted the victim and reportedly physically assaulted him. The victim suffered minor injuries. The coaching staff arrived on-scene within minutes, and assisted with handling the incident. Missing child SSPD and Bluffdale police officers, along with members of the Saratoga Springs Fire Department and Public Works teams, assisted in locating a special needs five-year-old boy who ran away. The child, who has run away in the past, had left his house and was seen walking in an adjacent neighborhood. He was found by a city employee, and was eventually reunited with his anxious parents. Vehicle break-in and arrest A State of Utah Youth Services Counselor contacted SSPD to report a vehicle burglary. The worker reported that a youth, under her purview, had been seen with a cell phone that she knew wasn’t his. When she asked him about the phone, he admitted to having stolen it from an unlocked vehicle in a parking lot near Westlake High School. After a brief investigation, it was determined the juvenile opened the door of the car and took the phone. He said it was because he’s never owned his own cell phone. The phone was returned to the owner. The juvenile was arrested for the theft. Israeli art or scam “artists�? Several residents have contacted our offices in regards to recent door-to-door solicitations of supposed Israeli students selling “authentic� artworks. After a resident complained on August 18, it was reported the four Israeli students were eventually contacted by officers in a local restaurant. The solicitors were identified as being Israeli residents, and were not, in fact, art students. One of the women conducting the door-to-door sales admitted to being involved in a “scam.� She said the artwork being presented as original paintings were actually copies. Their information was gathered and forwarded to US Immigration officials.
*SSPD Crime Prevention NoteSaratoga residents are being cautioned that they should be leery of anyone attempting to sell items door-to-door and using sensational stories and/or means to conduct such business. As discussed in the above paragraph, it was mentioned by the solicitors that they were self-admitted scam-artists. The police department has investigated past instances of scammers in town, and would recommend that anyone receiving solicitors at their door to, first: Ask them if they possess the Saratoga Springs City Itinerant Business License (every solicitor MUST possess this). If they do not, contact our offices. An officer will respond to the area and investigate the salesperson. If they do not have a valid business license, they can be cited for violating the city ordinance relative to merchant sales. Please use common sense, and judgment when dealing with unknown sources for merchandise. Drunken stupor A resident within the SSD subdivision called for police to respond to her neighborhood on August 21, at about 1:00 a.m. The resident said there were two intoxicated men yelling at each other and fighting in their driveway. Several SSPD officers responded to that house. It was determined that both men were involved in a verbal disagreement while attending a party at their friend’s house. At some point, both men decided to “take this outside� into the driveway, where they began physically fighting. They were separated and cited for assault and public intoxication. Stolen church truck/copper On August 30, an SSPD officer responded to a local LDS farmhouse. At some point during that day, an unknown suspect entered the equipment storage shed, which is located on the LDS churchowned property. The suspect forcibly entered the building by using a hammer. A thief stole one of the work trucks, which was parked inside the structure. Also, over $2,300 worth of welding equipment and other items. Remember, school is back in session. Make sure to slow down in school zones and stop for school crossings and school buses stopped with their red lights flashing. It school safety. It’s the law.

Mayor Jackson called for a decision, which appeared to be very difficult based on the insightful replies of the four candidates. But, Councilwoman Burnham then motioned to appoint Jon Celaya to the City Council for the completion of Eric Cieslak’s term. Councilman Painter seconded the motion and it was unanimously approved. The oath of office was then administered by the city recorder and Councilman Celaya took his place on the dais. Mayor Jackson asked if there were any reports or other matters of business. None of the council members had anything to report, and Councilman Celaya executed his first action with a motion to adjourn at 10:45 p.m.
each applicant a similar series of questions, including their expected time commitment, their plans to run for another term, and their opinions on the proposed aquatic center, and the city incurring debt. They were also asked their relationships with current council members and all of them were friends with, worked with, or were neighbors of one or more council members. Councilman Ireland asked another question of Celaya regarding any conflict of interest in the development of ordinances through the city that would affect The Ranches HOA since Celaya serves on that board. Celaya answered to Ireland’s satisfac-

Make miracles happen: teach a child to read Thursday, September 16, 2010
Making miracles happen motivated Orem resident and Organization Behavior Specialist Kathy Gowans to create one of the most successful tutoring programs in Utah County. Gowans developed and staffed a volunteer reading program at Windsor Elementary utilizing community members from neighboring churches, colleges and service groups. Over 15 years ago, Gowans asked former Windsor Elementary Principal Sonia Rasband to “close your eyes and dream” about a read-
ing program. “What do you want, and we will make it happen,” asked Gowans. Rasband asked for trained tutors using reading methods aligned with the Alpine School District philosophy reinforcing lessons from the classroom. Gowans then partnered with Lori Sperry and the LDS Windsor Stake to work with local school administrators, teachers, parents and volunteers in the creation of a sustainable literacy program. The result was a miracle. “I have seen children begin to
make eye contact, believe in themselves, and love to interact and speak with others as a result of feeling connected to their tutor, “ Gowans said. “Matching children with the right tutor is the key to our success. Some tutors do not feel comfortable with strong willed children, while other tutors want a high energy level child.” Over 50 Windsor Elementary volunteers now read one-on-one with 45 students to increase both instructional and independent reading levels. “Nearly 80 percent of chil-
The Crossroads Journal
dren who are unable to read at grade level by the 3rd grade never catch up,” Gowans said. “If the child regularly attends tutoring sessions, reads at home and follows the lesson plan, it only takes six months of individualized tutoring to for these children to surpass their grade level.” Geraldo, age 10, is a fifth grade student at Windsor Elementary. He enjoys reading, but he likes his tutor, John Fredrickson, even more. “It is also about relationships,” Gowans said. “Boys seem to make significant progress when matched with male role models.” Jazmine, age eight, is a third grade student who enjoys independent reading of the Shiloh book series. “I wish I had more books,” she said. Tutors Jan and Owen Richardson are RSVP volunteers who felt inspired to give back to the commu-
Page 9
nity because it is the “right thing to do”. For the last six years they have tutored children at Windsor Elementary two times per week for 45 minutes each session. As retired restaurant managers they wanted to nourish the mind as well as the body. “It is easier to feed the body,” said Owen, “but it feels better to feed the mind.” The Retired & Sr. Volunteer Program (RSVP) is now recruiting tutors for public schools in Utah Wasatch and Summit Counties. RSVP assists people 55 or older to use their experience and talents to give back to the community by placing volunteers age 55 and over in non-profit community agencies and organizations. If you would like to volunteer please contact Bonnie Wright 801229-3820 or bwright @mountainland.org.
