Eagle Mountain Chit-chat & rodeo queen chosen Chocolate with Mayor Love
By LeeAnn Bohman Managing Editor/Staff Writer
L-R: Jessica Reit - 1st Attendant, Jessica Ferre - 2nd Attendant, Leanza Curtis - EM Rodeo Queen
By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
For many little girls a dream come true would be to have their own pony or horse and to be a princess. The closest many of us get is to have a collection of “My Little Ponies” and to have a dad who calls us “Princess.” However, for three young women owning, riding, and training a horse is second nature, and on Saturday April 30, they each vied for the honor of being chosen to reign over the festivities during Eagle Mountain’s Pony Express Days as rodeo queen. The contestants were 17year-old Leanza Curtis, who was the teen winner last year; Jessica Reit, 18-years-old; and 17-yearold Jessica Ferre. Last year was the first time that Eagle Mountain hosted a rodeo pageant. Holly Webb, who spearheaded this event, understands what it takes to be a rodeo queen, having held a rodeo title in the past. “This year,” Holly said, “changes have been made with a focus on humanitarian projects. The theme is ‘I Find Myself in Eagle Mountain Serving Others.’” The pageant’s events consist of horsemanship, speech, modeling, impromptu questions, and
interview. Winning contestants are required to appear at local parades and rodeos, submit to media interviews, participate in service projects for the city, and, of course, they will be one of the star attractions at the Pony Express Days rodeo and parade. Before the young ladies were introduced to the audience, they were each interviewed by judges. The judges were Martina Wardle, Miss Rodeo Utah 2010; Anna Barnum, Miss Eagle Mountain 2011; Connie Robinson, Former Miss Rodeo America; and David Tresko from Seattle, Washington. Leanza Curtis dazzled the audience in her purple leather outfit. She talked about her grandfather, who is also her hero. When he was diagnosed with stage four colon cancer, she was able to help out by driving him to South Jordan for his chemotherapy treatments. He was in the audience cheering her on. Next Jessica Reit waltzed in, looking beautiful in an taupe-colored western skirt and top. She quietly talked about her service to others in Eagle Mountain, expressing how she liked teaching younger children about the Pony Express, keeping the past and the future alive. Jessica Ferre was the last contestant and was lovely in an orange leather ensemble. She
spoke of how she helped raise $35,000 that was donated to the rodeo this year. Another way she serves the community is by working as the Special Needs Coordinator for Pony Express Days. The rest of the competition took place in the freezing cold at the rodeo arena where each girl displayed her ability to control her horse and perform a set pattern, including figure eights, and showing off different gaits. They were all beautiful riders and looked as comfortable on their horses as they did walking. The judges finally made their decisions and the results were in. Second attendant was Jessica Ferre, First attendant, Jessica Reit, and the queen, Leanza Curtis. Mayor Heather Jackson and pageant director Holly Webb presented the rodeo royalty with their prizes. They each received a tiara, belt buckle, sash, flowers, Glitter Gel Toes, jacket, headstall, and horse sheet. The queen, Leanza, also received a beautiful saddle from AA Callisters and her entry fee to Miss Rodeo Utah. The Miss Pony Express Days Rodeo Queen will attend and represent the Eagle Mountain rodeo at various events throughout the year. Participation in the Miss Rodeo Utah Pageant is also required for the queen.
Have questions about what is happening in the city? Looking for a place to share ideas about things the city could be doing differently or provide feedback about what this city is currently doing? Mayor Love invites the public to join her every third Thursday of the month from 1:30-2:30 p.m. for a casual discussion on the topic of your choice and a little chocolate treat. No appointment is necessary and topics will be discussed on a first come, first served basis. Love states, “I love this area and our beautiful city and look forward to hearing from our residents about the things that matter most to them. These meetings are a great way for the public to let me know what is on their minds and what we can do together to make our great city even better.”
These meetings will be held at the City Offices at 1307 N. Commerce Drive, Suite 200 every third Thursday from 1:30 to 2:30 pm unless otherwise noted. Those attending are encouraged to remain respectful of the time-frame provided and the ideas and issues presented. Please note that the mayor will see as many residents as time allows and the first session will be held on May 19, 2011.
First demolition derby in EM planned By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
Get ready and fasten your seat belts as the first-ever demolition derby will be held at Eagle Mountain’s Pony Express Rodeo Arena on June 1 as part of Pony Express Days. The idea behind a demolition derby is for cars to smash into each other until there is only one car left standing or running. This macho event is fun to watch and the more vehicles involved the more entertaining it will be. The Westlake football team is sponsoring the event and has already obtained a car to bash into other cars. Hopefully, other clubs at the high school will get involved as well, and let the friendly rivalry begin! The cheer team, the debate team, or the basketball team, for instance, may want to sponsor a car. Get involved! An event such as this is what makes your high school or your community
a memorable place. If you or your club or team wants to be a part of this exciting new event, you need to obtain a running vehicle and find a driver, who is eighteenyears-old or older. Find out what requirements the vehicle must have to be eligible and then get to work stripping it down and making it safe. Westlake Football Coach Jason Walker is organizing this exciting event and encourages anyone and everyone interested to become a part of this monumental happening. The entry cost will be waived for the first twenty cars, so here’s a real incentive to be the first to enter. Fans of mayhem and destruction will be in for a real treat. The Pony Express Rodeo Arena will open its gates at 5:30 p.m. that evening, and the demolition derby will get underway at 6:30 p.m. The rodeo arena is located in Eagle Mountain at 4447 Major Street.

What do you think ? Last week the whole world tuned in as Prince William married a commoner, Kate Middleton. Although no longer the official lawmakers of England, the royal family proved to still be quite the draw, with the event labeled a “real life fairy tale.” With millions of people swarming London, months of wedding details speculation and nearly constant media coverage, The Crossroads Journal decided to ask residents before the big event:
What do you think about all the hype surrounding the royal wedding? “I’m excited about it. I remember Charles and Diana’s wedding. My mom is from England, so it has been fun. We have our DVR to record it.” -Elizabeth Burton Saratoga Springs
“I know I am going to record it and watch it.” -Angela Duke Eagle Mountain
“I love it. It’s fun. It’s something different that doesn’t happen every day. I saw Charles and Diana’s wedding.” -Doris Garback Saratoga Springs
“I think it is kind of crazy. They’ve drawn it out so long. But it is kind of fun too. I like the fashion.” -Nicole Ludwig Eagle Mountain

Bond vote scheduled in November By Kara Traveller Staff Writer
The Alpine School District (ASD) is in the process of gathering information for an upcoming bond vote scheduled for November 2011. According to the ASD website, since the bond passed in 2006, Alpine School District has grown by 9,820 students and is projected to grow an additional 10,000 students in the next five years. The question now is where is the growth and where are the new schools needed. The School District sent out
800 surveys to patrons in the school district as a way to gather information. ASD has also spent time in the last few weeks meeting with PTA, principals and school employees. They have also scheduled meetings to meet with the public. The purpose of these meetings is to determine the size and scope of the bond projects. The public meetings will be held at Mountain View High on May 4 at 7 p.m., Willowcreek Middle School on May 11 at 7 p.m., or American Fork Junior High on May 12 at 7 p.m. As of right now a middle school in Eagle Mountain is one
project earmarked for sure. This is due to the fact that when Vista Heights Junior High opened in Saratoga Springs it was already at capacity. According to Michelle Gray with ASD, the district is also looking at building four additional elementary schools. “Those sites have not yet been determined, but will likely be in the high growth areas in the north and west areas of the district such as Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain. It will be up to voters, along with enrollment projections at current schools, plus our five year statistical projections,” explains Gray.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
April 19, 2011 The City Council meeting was called to order at 7:00 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Brent Call, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Cecil Tuley and city staff. Mayor Mia Love was absent. Public comment Resident Edward Peltekian stood and said that Saratoga Springs would be better off without a justice court. He believed there were many victims of Prosecuting Attorney Lindsey Jarvis and Judge Stoney. He asked the City Council and mayor to remove them both. Peltekian complained further that no first-offense warning had been given when his dog was caught roaming the neighborhood two years ago. He also told how his wife had been put in jail (after she was accused of illegally recording a court proceeding) and had also been charged with a landscaping violation. Peltekian then asked his friends and relatives to raise their hands in support of Peltekian’s cause. About ten people raised their hands. Peltekian’s son then stood (as he was also charged in the dog-at-large incident) and reported that his case had been dismissed in an American Fork appeals court. “In the Saratoga Springs Justice Court, my con-
stitutional rights were trampled,” he concluded. Other Peltekian supporters then stood and expressed their disapproval of Jarvis and Stoney. Criticisms included unprofessional behavior and lying. The consensus of those who commented was that the justice court was turning ordinary citizens into criminals while the City Council looked the other way. Policy items Consent calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Proposed revisions to the Land Development Code (Sections 19.02, Definitions and 19.04, Establishment of Land Use Zones). City staff reported that definitions had recently been added to the Land Development Code for types of development or businesses did not exist in the city. Some examples included cemeteries and fruit and vegetable stands. The second proposed change was fitting the newly defined areas of development into the land use zone matrix. Some of the development categories included riding arenas, golf courses, charter schools and beekeeping areas. Another change allowed farmers and ranchers to obtain a depredation permit—permitting the discharge of firearms as needed to protect their livestock and agricultural products from wild animals.
Local rancher Aaron Evans stated that the depredation permits were necessary for his way of life. But he continued to be frustrated by the recent annexation of his property into the city (he and his neighbors’ land used to be a part of unincorporated Utah County). He felt neighborhoods were too close to his cattle operation. He also was frustrated by the fire department being called out every time he was burning debris on his property (Evans has a lifelong burn permit). A lengthy discussion then took place between City Council members, the city manager and Evans as to whether the rancher’s rights were being protected and reflected within city code for agricultural use. The City Council wanted to grant Evans and his neighbors a letter grandfathering every use and right granted to them by Utah County. City Manager Mark Christensen said the city attorney recommended against a letter, saying the rights should be reflected in the city’s land use code. At the end of the discussion, some on the City Council seemed to lean towards creating a specific agricultural zone for those farmers and ranchers who had recently been annexed into the city. The motion was unanimously tabled. Discussion of the Public Works site improvement contract.
City staff reported that a proposed Public Works building’s construction cost would be half of what staff expected. If the building became a part of the proposed bond projects, the bond amount would be $3,930,000. Staff asked the City Council to fund a design team so the project could go to bid.
Councilman Bud Poduska commented that the city would never see construction costs as low as they are right now. He was in favor of constructing the Public Works building in the coming year. Councilman Brent Call Please see SSCC NOTES on page 11

Santa Monica Pizza & Pasta Co. School Calendar By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review I’ve heard it said, “Some people live to eat and some people eat to live.” I’ve thought about this saying quite a bit. I think there are a few ways to interpret this, but I like to think of it as some people just eat because they need to- just to survive, while others put a little more passion into it. They use creativity and flair and make every bite count. So, which type of person are you? I think I’m both. There are some days, many days, when I just grab a spoonful of peanut butter because I need something to just “fill the hole” for a few hours; cooking or eating is just a necessary evil which holds me back from doing other things. Then there are times when I want to create a tasteful work of art and I put everything I have into my meal preparation. Now whether you “eat to live” or “live to eat,” doesn’t really matter, but if you want to experience why some people “live to eat,” then I found a place that serves amazing food that fills you up, while taking you on a delicious eating adventure. Santa Monica Pizza & Pasta Co. was quite the find. Now there are two things that I have a hard time reviewing… pizza and subs. I really don’t like doing either. I guess it’s simply because I love the subs and pizza we make at my house. I think it’s also because I grew up back east and I was surrounded by Italian delis and pizzerias that had mastered the art of each. Up to this point, I haven’t really found any eatery that comes close to genuine Italian subs and pizzas. Now with that said, if I found a place that exceeded my expectations, I would be a big fan. This is what I found at Santa Monica: I would say they’ve taken their pizza and pasta to the next level. No, it’s not very traditional, but it’s got flair… California flair. Let me tell you about their Santa
Monica Pizza. It’s made with pesto, spinach, grilled chicken, bbq sauce, red onions, roasted tomato and bacon. Doesn’t that sound amazing? Well, it was. The chicken was so good, with that smoky fired taste. Combined with all of the other toppings, it was spectacular. For all of you “eat to live” people, I think once you’ve tasted Santa Monica’s food, you might notice an immediate change. You will realize the depth of flavors and creativity that can go into such a traditionally simple, predictable food, and will be addicted. Now the pizza was ordered to bring home for dinner. We also ate lunch. One of the lunch specials is a pepperoni stromboli with a side salad. Usually I order blue cheese dressing, but this time I ordered Italian. I figured if anyone should have good Italian dressing it would be a restaurant that serves Italian food. I’m pretty picky about my Italian, that’s why I don’t usually buy or order it. It’s more often than not, somewhat sweet. I know that’s strange, but that’s the taste that stands out for me… sweet. Nope, I don’t like it. Well, I tasted Santa Monica’s Italian and it was truly outstanding. Whatever they did, they did it right. I asked if the dressing was bought or made, and the waiter wasn’t sure, but he thought it was made at their main location in Union Heights. They need to bottle that stuff. Its taste is what a great Italian dressing should be. The side salad was simple, but the dressing made it seem like the best thing since sliced bread. As for the stromboli- yep, it was great too. Nice outer crust and a delicious filling of pepperoni and cheese. My meal also came with a breadstick, which was just okay, not the best I’ve ever had. My husband ordered the Italian sub. Uh oh, we’re walking on thin ice here… I’d say he’s the master of making Italian subs (but that’s another story). Well? He thought it was pretty good; plenty of flavor from the meats, melt-
ed cheese and veggies. The bread was a little soft, but overall he liked it. My thoughts? It was pretty good, but not better than the great Zebley sub. Haha. I was so impressed with the creativity in the menu choices. Some of the pasta choices are: Angry Noodles, The Wise Greek, and Steak House Mac. They also serve the usual things like mac & cheese and chicken alfredo, but I’m guessing they aren’t ordinary. The pizza pie choices include such creations as Tye Dye, Cathedral Fire, Queenie, and The Beach Bum. It’s made with pesto, gorgonzola, chopped apple, caramelized onion, dried cranberry; finished with arugula, citrus vinaigrette and pecans. What creativity. How about the Palisades? That’s the one I’m trying next time. It has red sauce, spinach, roasted tomato, mushroom, artichoke heart, grilled eggplant, and roasted red pepper. That sounds like someone’s creativity reached perfection. I haven’t even mentioned the desserts, but they’re nothing to ignore, either. They also have a large variety of fruit smoothies and drinks, including raspberry lemonade, cream soda, orange or root beer, Coke products, San Pellegrino and Jackson Hole Huckleberry Soda- I’m trying that one next time, as well. Gee, I should just call in my order right now cause I’ve got it all figured out- salad with amazing Italian dressing, The Palisades pizza, Jackson Hole Huckleberry soda and maybe a dessert. Yum. So there you have it. Are you a “liver” or an “eater?” Either way, it’s sometimes nice to enjoy the unique creations of another who lives to eat or at least cooks like they do. Salads start at $8.50, 6-inch subs, $7.99. Pastas, $9.99 and pizza pies $9.99. Depending on sizes and specifics, the prices go up. Santa Monica Pizza & Pasta Co. is located in Lehi, in front of Smith’s Marketplace, near Alpine, at 1626 East SR 92.

Changes at Lakeview Academy By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Lakeview Academy is again making changes in its administration. According to Cory Thorson who serves as the board’s treasurer at the school, “Moving forward, we would like to take Lakeview Academy to another level of success. We decided that to achieve another level of success a new administration team is needed.” Thorson isn’t without praise for the previous administration, noting their hard work and stating, “We all recognize that the current success of Lakeview Academy is because of
the skills, and work the previous administration had done at the school.” Currently Mark Johnson is serving as the school’s interim director. Johnson earned his teaching license from Utah State University and has worked as an assistant principal as well as helped open and direct two different charter schools. Johnson’s interim position will last until the end of the current school year. Lakeview Academy’s board has the power to make a change in administration, and now it will be their responsibility to find a replacement. Thorson states, “We are developing hiring committee(s) consisting of parents and staff.
These committees will be trained and will screen the final candidates for Lakeview Academy's open positions.” The school’s board has used parent emails and a meeting to invite parents to be involved in the process. Thorson continues, “We have received a number of interested parents and staff, and are in the process of randomly selecting a few who will become the hiring committee(s). We will be announcing that committee(s) soon.” According to Interim Director Johnson the open positions will include both the new director, and spots on the administration staff, which staff will be picked with input from the new director.
Summer youth sport camps offered in Eagle Mountain ‘Good to Great’ youth performance counseling Former BYU and NFL 49er Jamal Willis brings to Eagle Mountain a new program for the youth called “Good to Great Performance.” This program has successfully been used throughout Utah, Las Vegas and is now currently used with BYU athletes. With Willis’ masters degree in educational counseling and many years of professional athletic training, he has been able to successfully help youth move from good to great in athletics and in life. Sometimes kids
lack the knowledge, and struggle with achieving their athletic, academic and life goals. This program will encourage the youth to have fun and gain a greater understanding of how they can accomplish their goals. This can be accomplished by attending the summer sport camps, or one-on-one athletic performance training. This program also provides one-on-one or group life skills counseling that will benefit youth of all ages who are struggling with life chal-

Lehi families holds fundraiser for 2 year old son to cover medical bills An unfortunate accident for a 2 year old boy in Lehi leaves family overwhelmed with medical bills. This family is reaching out for help from family, friends, and the community through a local fundraiser On February 18, 2011, 2 year old Max Jones (son of Chris & Jeanette) of Lehi broke his leg. “Because we did not see what happened at the moment it happened, we cannot be exactly sure of how it happened, but the only thing we can figure is that he jumped over the back of the sofa and landed wrong on his leg.” Max was immediately rushed to the hospital by ambulance for medical diagnosis and care. After visiting two hospitals and completing reconstructive surgery, his family has found themselves with more than $13,000 in medical bills, with no health insurance. Chris and Jeanette have been
living in Lehi for the past 7 years. Chris has been the President of the Rotary Club, Chairman of the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce, and is a pillar in the community. He had run an independent mortgage company since 2007, but got on board with City 1st out of Bountiful in 2008, where he is currently a branch manager and head of the PR department. Chris even ran Lehi’s only local newspaper for a year, The Lehi Pioneer Independent. His wife, Jeanette ran the Renaissance Academy Storytelling Festival for 4 years.

SSCC NOTES Continued from page 4
agreed, if the price was right. McOmber was comfortable with a $4 million bond, but noted that if project costs exceeded that price tag, one or more of the projects should be cut. Miller agreed, adding that if there were additional savings on building projects, the money saved should be put towards paying down the debt. Tuley was encouraged by the early building estimates, but was frustrated that other sources of money were not looked into for the improvement projects. Assistant City Manager Spencer Kyle replied that other monies could be used, but that those funds were already being used for other things. In the end, the City Council agreed to fund a design plan for a new Public Works building and a fire station remodeling. The
bond limit was capped at $4 million. Funding for well, pump, and water right acquisitions. The funding was unanimously approved. Ordinance 11-4 (4-19-11): An ordinance of Saratoga Springs, Utah, enacting in the Saratoga Springs, Utah, code designating certain streets and highways as open for street legal all-terrain vehicle (ATV) use. City Manager Mark Christensen reminded the public that all-terrain vehicle drivers needed to be licensed and that the ATV’s needed to be street legal to be on city streets. Police officers will be citing people and their ignorance of the rules won’t be an excuse, he warned. The new ordinance went into effect 1 May and will be noticed in the city newsletter and on its website. The ordinance was unanimously approved.
Gocken receives Eagle Scout award
Jerry Gocken of Saratoga Springs received his Eagle Scout award on Friday, April 22, 2011. It was a very special night. With the help of Troop 1024 and numerous other people, Jerry’s project was making and putting up the mile markers on the Jordan Parkway Trail from the Saratoga Springs Development and going 9 miles where it ends at the Salt Lake County Line by Thanksgiving Point. Jerry would like to thank everyone who helped out, and all those who donated to this project.
