SS city prosecutor Saratoga Splash 2011 resigns By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer

A recent article published in the Deseret News on April 27 highlighted the continuing drama surrounding the newly established Judicial Court system in Saratoga Springs. The article relates that a small group of residents are taking credit for the recent resignation of city prosecutor Lindsay Jarvis. The group demanded the removal of Jarvis as well as the Judicial Court judge in their city at a recent City Council meeting. These residents, who have spent time in court with appointed Judge Keith Stoney and the former city prosecutor Linsday Jarvis, are celebrating this recent resignation of Jarvis. Though they would like to see Stoney removed from his bench, this group of disgruntled citizens is thrilled to see the former city prosecutor take leave of her duties. The strongest critic of the recent judicial events in the city is a resident whose family has been in the headlines for many months regarding an animal control violation which turned into a criminal case at the discretion of prosecutor Jarvis. Edward Peltekian, who has been vocally critical of the way that his son’s situation has been handled by the city, is the leader of the group of citizens who are fighting to have Stoney and Jarvis removed. In fact, Peltekian staged a citizen protest last fall to attempt to have Stoney voted out of the election. Peltekian also takes issue at the way his wife’s recording of their son’s judicial hearing ended with Stoney having her thrown into jail for contempt of court. The basis of complaints for the group is that Stoney and Jarvis are abusing their power and telling lies. Peltekian relates that “Stoney and Jarvis have been working together in West Valley City for 10 years and Stoney trained Jarvis” and that there are unethical practices taking place in their courtroom because of their association. Ryan Peltekian, the subject of the animal control violation, took his appeal to 4th District court after being found guilty of a criminal offense by Stoney when he was prosecuted by Jarvis in the Saratoga Springs Justice Court. The current law on the books for
Saratoga Springs was changed in May of 2009, though the administration of it was not in effect until later that summer. The incident occurred in June, but the city did not officially charge Peltekian until January of 2010, at which time he was prosecuted in Justice Court even though the law required that first time offenders be dealt with on an administrative level. Peltekian won his appeal on January 21, 2011. The ruling by Judge Low indicates that the City of Saratoga Springs, at the hands of Jarvis, violated Peltekian’s constitutional rights by charging him with a criminal offense for his misdemeanor violation. Judge Low, in documents available to the public, ruled that the city broke city law, case law, state law and criminal law by criminally prosecuting him for his violation. On the heels of all the commotion surrounding the City Council meeting, the City of Saratoga Springs sent to its residents in the May water bill a statement entitled “Statement of Justice Court May 2011.” The statement addresses the inability of
the city to change the way the justice court is functioning, as well as indicating that the SSPD had been investigated following complaints and found to be innocent of any wrongdoing. Edward Peltekian says otherwise, and claims that in the Deseret News article that Chief Hicken gave false statements regarding Ryan Peltekian’s case. Hicken would not return requests for a statement. When inquiring about the status of Lindsay Jarvis’ employment, the city offices would not comment on her resignation, but said only that “she decided to seek employment closer to home.” The Deseret News article quoted her as saying that her resignation was “all an attempt to make it look like they got me to leave. I’m not playing these games anymore. I’m tired of being attacked.” Jarvis said that she submitted her resignation a month before the last city Saratoga Springs City Council meeting, but the residents carefully timed their protest to make it appear that she was admitting guilt through resignation.
Residents of Saratoga Springs will be able to jump right into summer celebrations during the city’s annual Saratoga Splash. Running June 4 through the 11th, the activities will begin the day after most area schools let out for the summer. The theme for this year’s splash is, “A Salute to the USA.” The premier event will be Saturday, June 4, with the model airplane show and open house, located at the RC Park. The show will run from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. and will include flying demonstrations. Other events of the week include a free outdoor movie on Wednesday, June 8, at the Sunrise Meadows Park, a picnic in the park on Thursday, June 9, at 6:30 p.m. again at Sunrise Meadows Park, and the annual baby contest on June 10. Information for all of these events can be found on the city’s website: www.saratogaspringscity.com. The biggest day of Saratoga Splash is Saturday June 11. The morning will begin bright and early with a 5K run starting at Westlake High School at 7:30 a.m. The fun run will include prizes for the top three men and women, as well as the top three girls and boy under 18 years old. Starting at 8:00 a.m. the city’s police department will be hosting a Police Breakfast at the Sunrise Meadow Park.
The annual grand parade will begin at 10:00 a.m. and will follow a route starting at Westlake High School. Although well attended, this parade is the perfect opportunity to get a front row seat without having to arrive hours earlier. The parade generally consists of sports teams, bands, cheerleaders, area businesses, beauty queens and even some politicians. Following the parade will be the Family Fun Festival will run practically all day from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m. in the Harvest Hills Park. There will be performing groups, free games from 1 to 4, as well as other contests and festivities. More entertainment will follow that evening in Harvest Hills Park. Beginning at 5 p.m. the city will host Saratoga’s Got Talent followed by the annual free concert at 8 p.m. This year’s concert is headlined by TRUMAN, a brother act who won the Battle of the Bands at BYU not just one year, but the following year as well. Their dad was in the well known band Diamond Rio. TRUMAN is described as, “Blends influences from pop icon John Mayer, jazzy crooner Michael Buble, and R&B legend Stevie Wonder to develop a pop/rock/soul sound founded on powerful vocals and passionate songwriting.” Residents can visit http://sscivicevents.blogspot.com/ for any information concerning cancellations due to the weather.
Porter’s Crossing Town Center By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer Residents of Eagle Mountain will soon be shopping for groceries a lot closer to home. Earlier this month the City Council unanimously approved plans on a large retail development that will include the long awaited Coop’s Market. Coop’s Market, which is connected with Associated Foods, was slated to be built a few years ago, but ran into financial problems before building could start. Now the store will anchor a whole shopping development. Amsource Development is the company that has been attached to the project. Bill Gaskill, vice president and president of Amsource residential, states, “We love the Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain commu-
nities and plan on being active in the community for a long time.” Amsource is already familiar with working in the area as they are currently working on the area surrounding the Saratoga Springs Walmart. They also developed the shopping districts that include Macey’s grocery store in Pleasant Grove, Orem and Spanish Fork. Gaskell states, “Our plan with Porter’s Crossing Town Center is to develop a family and community friendly retail and office district, and our expectation is that it will take us several years to develop the project to completion.” It has been reported that Phillip Cooper is hoping to have Coop’s Market open by December of this year. The new center will be located on Pony Express Parkway, between Smith Ranch Road and Porter’s Crossing.

The Crossroads Journal
What do you think ? Recently, many news and entertainment media have shown images of Americans holding public celebrations and events to celebrate the killing of Osama Bin Laden. The Crossroads Journal asked residents:
What do you think about the coverage of Bin Laden’s death and was it appropriate to show the celebrations? “I think the coverage is okay, but I don't know if I agree with the celebrating.” -Chris Stringfellow Saratoga Springs
“I wouldn't personally celebrate. I wouldn't have my kids watch it. That part bothers me. We turned off the T.V. and told them why we weren't going to watch any of it.” -Michael Nyberg Eagle Mountain
“It's always nice to know that our country is safe from terrorism and people who promote terrorism. I'm not so sure that it's such a good thing to be celebrating and for the media to be showing so much coverage.” -Summer Endsley Eagle Mountain
“I think the coverage is excessive. I just don't think that those images need to be out in the world like that. We don't need to look like we celebrate anyone's death, no matter who they are.” -Amy Roberts Eagle Mountain

New regulations for riding ATV’s in Saratoga Springs By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
That Saratoga Springs residents enjoy the great outdoors is an understatement. Activities abound year round because of location. One of the notable advantages about living in Saratoga Springs is the close proximity of the hills. ATV (All-Terrain Vehicles) riders explore these hills especially during the warm weather. One problem that made
access to the hills difficult was that residents would have to haul their ATV in a truck or trailer down the street just a block or two to get to the hills because of regulations against riding ATVs on city streets. On April 5, during a City Council meeting, a resident spoke in favor of legalizing ATV use on some city streets. He had about fifteen other residents who stood during the meeting to show their support for finding a solution to the problem. The City Council saw the
merit in his idea and now there is an ordinance designating certain streets and highways as open for street legal ATV use. In order to be street legal, ATVs must meet some requirements. For instance, they must be road worthy, licensed and have a light. Please visit the city website at http://www.saratogaspringscity.c om/government/publicnotice for complete details and for all street legal requirements. Those operating non-street legal ATVs will be cited.
COMMUNITY CALENDAR Eagle Mountain Community Theater will hold auditions for a summer production of Les Miserables, School Edition, May 23, 24, and 25 from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.at 3688 E.

They should prepare at least 16 bars of a song similar to the music of the show. They should also be prepared to attend call-backs if needed. Performance dates are August 11,12,13 at the SilverLake Amphitheater. They will have a large cast for this production so anyone interested should attend the auditions.

Advocate Team. As a volunteer you will receive training to assist the full-time victim advocate, and provide services to those who have been victims of crime. Some of the ways you may help assist could be: making calls to victims of crime to follow up on police reports, serve as a crisis advocate, attend criminal court hearings and performing other court related duties, or work as a liaison between victims and prosecutors, police, detectives, district and justice courts, or simply being a listening support to someone who is suffering as the result of a crime.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
May 3, 2011 The City Council meeting was called to order at 6:45 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Cecil Tuley, Mayor Mia Love, and city staff. Brent Call was absent. Awards and recognitions Kirrah Ottosen, newly crowned Miss Saratoga Springs, announced that she is now engaged to be married. As such, she passed her crown and sash onto her first attendant, Nicole Calder. Second Attendant Ashley Ottosen became First Attendant and runner-up Miss Montero was crowned Second Attendant. Policy items Consent Calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Public hearing: To receive input with respect to the issuance of approximately $5,000,000 Sales Tax Revenue Bonds and any potential economic impact that the project to be financed with the proceeds of said bond may have on the private sector. A Harvest Hills resident stated that she was concerned about the increases in her city utility bill over the last eight years she had lived in the city [the proposed bond would cost each residence $4 per month for the next 20 years]. She reported that in 2003, her utility bill averaged $55. Now, her bill averaged $90. The resident continued saying that although small increases to the utility bill do not attract the attention of raising property taxes, the
effect on residents’ pocketbooks is the same. She asked them to be mindful of this as they consider funding projects with a bond measure. Harvest Hills resident Shellie Baertsch stood and asked that other uses be considered for the proposed public works site. Public hearing: Proposed Budget Amendments for Fiscal Year 2010-2011. City staff reviewed several items, including unplanned revenue and expenditures. Some of the expenditures included some new police department vehicles, road projects and a well repair. Money also needed to be transferred between various accounts within the city. The amendments were approved, with Councilman Tuley opposing. Public hearing: Rezoning and Concept Plan discussion for APEX Storage located at 2225 North Redwood Road, APEX Storage, applicant. City staff reported that the applicant wanted to rezone his property from mixed use to regional commercial and office/warehouse. He had also requested that a setback be reduced from 50 feet to 30 feet. He wanted a side setback to be reduced from 30 feet to 20 feet. Staff recommended against the change in setbacks, but did support the zone change. Shellie Baertsch, a resident of Harvest Hills, expressed concern about the developer going bankrupt and leaving a half-built project across from the Harvest Hills subdivision. She also worried that with the additional planned storage units
in this development, Redwood Road would start looking like one long tunnel of tire stores, auto repair stores and storage units. She didn’t think that was a “friendly” way to enter into the city. Ryan Bybee, the owner of the property just south of the proposed development, stated that if the storage units are allowed [as they would be if the property were rezoned], that the city will have more than doubled the number of storage units within the city. This would hurt his business [Bybee has many storage units currently under construction]. McOmber had reservations over rezoning the property. He thought rezoning the property to regional commercial would be one more step towards Redwood Road becoming another Orem State Street. He also wanted the buffer requirements kept as they are. Staff stated that if the City Council chooses not to rezone the property, it should have a specific reason for doing so. The rezone fits with the city’s general plan, staff reminded the council. Staff added that the front parcel did not necessarily have to be rezoned regional commercial, but she thought it would add continuity to the project. Miller agreed with McOmber in keeping existing buffer requirements in place. He didn’t want Saratoga Springs to become the central storage unit location for Eagle Mountain, Bluffdale, and Lehi. He asked about the possibility of putting a moratorium on any further storage unit requests until a code is created balancing storage units with population.
Tuley suggested rezoning the back of the property to office/warehouse, but keep the front parcel mixed use. Mayor Love said she was troubled by the plans. She wants to be developer-friendly and wants them to succeed. But she also didn’t want too much of one type of development. She didn’t like how the plan was designed. The concept plan and rezone were tabled for further discussion. Staff was directed to look into legal grounds for denying the rezone. Award of contract for the Harvest Hills Boulevard Road Improvements. City staff reported that the boulevard’s soft spots would be removed and it would be resurfaced as for as the project’s budget would allow. He also noted that money would be used from this year’s budget as well as the 2011-2012 budget. The bid award went to Staker Parsons. It was unanimously approved. Award of Contract for the Public Works Site Improvements. City staff reported that the bid award would consist of improving the road onto the site, building improvements, sewer, and storage space. The total cost would be $765,000. The bid award went to Warner Construction. It was unanimously approved. Discussion of SR 73 Jurisdictional Transfer from Redwood Road to the west side of the Jordan River. City Engineer Jeremy Lapin reported that UDOT was transferring ownership of State Road 73 to Lehi and Saratoga Springs. The city was currently negotiating an agreement with UDOT. Stipulations of that agreement included an independent analysis of safety and the conditions of the road and shoulders.

Lapin also noted that a culvert needed to be replaced and that there were storm drain issues in some areas. Mayor Love reported that she had spoken to UDOT to discuss the sticking points in negotiations. Miller expressed concern over the condition of the Jordan River Bridge (which would fall under Lehi City’s jurisdiction). He didn’t think Lehi City would maintain it properly.

The Bread Bowl By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review
Take what you have and make the best of it. What a revolutionary idea. I met Doug Ellis the other day. He’s the owner of a new restaurant called The Bread Bowl Café. I asked him how his whole restaurant adventure started. Doug is originally from Virginia and has been in the restaurant business for a long time. He moved out here a few years ago and gave that venture a little rest. However, last winter a space became available at a local strip mall and he thought he’d like to try it again... but a little differently. Steak and seafood are his specialty, but this time he decided to try sandwiches, soups, salads and pizza. The location already had equipment for making these things, but didn’t have the goods for grilling, frying or anything of that sort. So, instead of clearing it out and buying the cooking gear he usually used, he decided to try his hand at what was already there. He’d make the most of it. I like that idea. It’s much more appealing than the whine philosophy of… “I need more, better, different and I want it now!” Hmm, what if everyone adopted the use what you have philosophy? Less gang violence, better gas mileage, world peace? Well, maybe not, but possibly newly discovered talents, more patience, and even great new food finds. These are all good things, right? There is great care in what The Bread Bowl Cafe makes. I asked if they had a best seller. The cashier said their “Thanksgiving” was out of this world. Uh oh. Now if you read my reviews regularly, you know I’ve tried the turkey cranberry thing somewhere before and wasn’t very impressed. There is one time of year that I love turkey, stuffing and all the fixin’s and that’s Thanksgiving. I don’t know why, but I really never crave the whole spread at any other time. Weird, huh? However, I wanted to give it a chance, so that’s what I ordered. Luckily, I went last week on a day that
seemed like autumn, so the “Thanksgiving” didn’t feel too out of season. After one bite, I could smell the cold crisp air and feel the shiver of the season. It was good. It tasted like, well, Thanksgiving dinner, which is what it should taste like: turkey, warm stuffing, mayo and cranberry sauce all on sourdough. The one drawback was the sandwich didn’t hold up in my hands. It crumbled slightly. So I just put it down and ate it like a real turkey day dinner. I also had a taste of “The Yankee.” I’ve never had pastrami that I can remember, but this was made with just that, along with provolone, mustard, pickle, lettuce, onion and tomato on homemade French bread. It was a darn good Yankee. Everything on the menu looked good, but the soups looked the most intriguing. I had a cup of their red pepper gouda. Wow, it was amazing. It was different and addicting: a tomato soup base with a touch of red pepper, and gouda mixed in. They also serve chicken with wild rice, tomato bisque, broccoli and cheese, chicken noodle and roasted poblano. That was my second preference and I asked for a sample. It had a nice southwest taste that was smooth and creamy, with a flavor that was familiar yet mysterious. Doug gets an A+ for using his new equipment in a delicious way… these soups were definitely not from the can.
The Bread Bowl also offers vegetarian choices, like the Flower Child. Now that’s a funny name. It has portabella mushrooms, sweet red roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, red onions, spinach, and provolone on sourdough. Doug said one of the funniest things he’s seen was when a big burly, meat-lover looking guy walked in and ordered… a Flower Child. Can you see it? Imagine the deep voice and the lowered brow… “Uh hmm, I’ll have the, um,” as he looks around and then whispers, “Flower Child.” Pretty funny… but cool. The prices are similar to Zupas and the likes, with my combo meal of half a premium sandwich, soup, side and drink costing $9.25. Doug is going to start offering just half sandwiches alone for those with smaller appetites and budgets. At The Bread Bowl, I didn’t feel like my food was thrown together so fast that I felt dizzy while walking to my table. This place is a little more relaxed and not as crowded as similar restaurants. For an attempt at giving up what you know and using what you’ve got, I think The Bread Bowl Café is doing a great job. Located in a plaza just in front of Lowe’s, it’s a nice place to try. The Bread Bowl Café is located at 100 N. 1200 E., Lehi. Hours: Mon-Sat 10:30 am8pm. For takeout orders call 801407-3950.

Harvest Elementary announces dual immersion Spanish program By Jennifer Klingonsmith
r o f s ’ t a h W inner? d Almost Take-out Sweet n’ Sour Chicken
Staff Writer
Harvest Elementary recently opened spots for 60 first grade students to begin their journey towards fluency in Spanish. The program runs from first through sixth grades. Registration was open to students both inside and outside of the school’s boundaries. For the past five years, Harvest Elementary has taught a oneway immersion program starting in second grade. The program was designed for a student population who speak English as their native language. The new dual immersion program allows for two classes of immersion students to start each first grade year. The classes share two teachers, one of whom teaches in Spanish, the other in English. Time is split between the teachers 50/50. Research has shown that students who complete dual immersion programs not only acquire second language skills, but also develop greater cognitive flexibility and have an appreciation of other cultures. Harvest Elementary Principal Karl Bowman states that there are many benefits of the dual immer-

sion program. It is an opportunity for Harvest Elementary’s program to align itself with the model endorsed by the Utah State Office of Education. With the endorsement, more teacher development opportunities are available as well as increased teacher certifications. The students can start the program a year earlier and twice as many students can participate. There were 87 applicants for 60 openings. Two lotteries were held to determine final enrollment. There are no additional screenings for academic achievement to participate in Spanish
immersion (as there has been in previous years). Bowman says, however, that parents should consider it to be a rigorous program. There are currently 14 other dual immersion Spanish programs in the state. If parents are not participating in Harvest Elementary’s immersion program, but are still interested in such a program for their children, Bowman suggested expressing this desire to the principals of other local schools. Other programs could be started in the future if an interest is shown.

POLICE BLOTTER The Saratoga Springs Police Department has handled a total of 1,619 offenses, to date, this year. The department handled 420 reported incidents for the month of April, which is down from 503 in 2010 and similar to the 421 in 2009, which includes 13 reported traffic accidents. Case sampling for April 2011: Extreme DUI - Saratoga Springs Police Officers were dispatched to a single car accident in the afternoon hours. Officers found a car had run into a wall. Officers spoke with the driver of the car and noticed he could barely stand up and had a strong odor of alcohol on his breath. The driver was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence. The driver agreed to take an intoxilyzer test and was found to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .436, which is over five times the legal limit. BACs of .400 or greater have been known to be fatal. The driver was booked into jail for D.U.I., open container and unsafe lane travel. Car burglary & arrest - A Harvest Hill’s resident reported that a laptop and camera had been stolen from his unlocked car, sometime overnight. The victim was able to provide officers with serial numbers of the items taken. Detectives checked local area pawn shops and found the stolen items had been pawned. Detectives were able to track down the suspect responsible for pawning the items. The suspect was interviewed by detectives. The suspect admitted to over twenty car burglaries in Saratoga Springs and several others in northern Utah
County. The suspect told detectives he would break into cars at night and would only target unlocked cars and take any electronic items he could find. The suspect said he would often trade the stolen goods for drugs. Detectives are working to recover the other stolen property. The suspect was booked into jail on several theft and vehicle burglary charges. Marijuana arrest - A SSPD officer noticed a suspicious vehicle parked off by itself in a parking lot, in the early morning hours. When the officer stopped to talk to the three people in the car they hurried out of the car and started to walk away. The officer noticed there was drug paraphernalia sitting in the center console. A police K-9 searched the car and found two small bags of marijuana. Two people in the car said the marijuana belonged to them. One person was cited and released for possession of marijuana and paraphernalia. The other person had two outstanding warrants and was booked into jail for the warrants and drug charges. Recovered stolen car - A SSPD officer noticed a car parked in Inlet Park after the park was closed. There was no one in the car. The officer checked the car’s license plate and found it had been reported stolen out of Texas. Officers checked the area and found two people in the park. A female told officers the car belonged to her. The female had no paperwork in the car and the car was not registered in her name. The female was arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle and an outstanding warrant. The
female was booked into jail. Officer assault - While patrolling Inlet Park, SSPD officers noticed three cars parked in the parking lot after the park was closed. Officers found three people walking back from the “hot pots.” Officers noticed one of the people was carrying a beer bottle. When officers informed the people the park was closed, the person with the beer became belligerent towards officers and started to run away. Officers caught up to the person. While trying to take the person into custody, he continued to scream obscenities at officers and hit and elbowed the arresting officers. The suspect was booked into jail for assault on a police officer, trespassing, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. The officers received minor cuts, abrasions and bruises from the incident. Ecstasy in the park In the early morning hours, SSPD Officers noticed a car in the parking lot of Inlet Park after the park was closed. The officer noticed there were two people in the car. When the driver opened the car door, there was a very strong odor of marijuana inside of the car. The driver said there was an ounce of marijuana in the center console. While officers were speaking with the two in the car, five more people who were with the two walked up to the car. The group admitted to drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana. When officers searched the car, they located Ecstasy, marijuana, and several open containers of alcohol. The group was charged with drug possession in a drug free zone, underage drinking and possession of paraphernalia.
Lakeview Academy students place 4th in stock market game The Computers In Business class at Lakeview Academy in Saratoga Springs participated in the Stock Market Game, which is a national competition. Lakeview had nine teams of students playing the game. Each day the students would log in to the Stock Market Game and make decisions whether to buy or sell stocks. All transactions were in realtime on the NYSE. They would research reports and anticipate what would happen to their stocks. The Lakeview students partici-
pated state-wide in the middle school/junior high division. There were a total of 275 teams in their division that competed. The school had two teams that placed in the top 10 state-wide; they placed fourth and sixth. The top five teams in each division were honored at an awards banquet. The fourth place team consisted of Chipper Brown, Chandler Hertzler, and Andrew Peterson, all 8th graders at Lakeview; Denise Beecroft is their advisor.
