The 141st Military Intelligence Battalion of the Utah National Guard was the last of the unit’s 275 members to return home after a twelve-month deployment to Iraq. Among those returning were SSG David Santiago, SSG Keith Moon, SSG Leo Vongphakdy, SFC Kelly Sum-
mers, and MAJ Matthew Cousins. Eagle Mountain City held a Welcome Home Procession on June 15. Because the plane was delayed, the procession started at 5:15 p.m. (about an hour late). Beginning at the Maverik station on Ranches Parkway, fire engines and sheriff’s cars led the way, proceeding to City Hall. Small pockets of people gathered along the streets, some waving flags and all of them cheering.
The roadways lined with billowing flags and yellow ribbons tied to trees signaled “Welcome Home.” Citizens owe so much to our military men and women. They put their lives at risk and sacrifice time with their own families to keep America free and safe. It makes your heart swell with pride that Eagle Mountain City takes the time to honor their hometown heroes.
Residents invited to view SS Parks and Trails Master Plan By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
Is there a park in your neighborhood’s future? What amenities will it have? Get these answers and more at a parks open house July 13 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the city offices. Early this year, the city hired Landmark Design to evaluate existing facilities, trails, open space, recreation programs and
parks. It assessed how current facilities support a city of this size. The design firm then analyzed what amenities needed to be in place to meet future needs of a changing population. Saratoga Springs also sought input from its residents. In April, all residents were mailed a detailed survey about current parks and open space as well as desired future amenities. Over 22 percent of the surveys were returned (average response rate is 15-20 per-
cent). Results of the survey indicated that residents would like to see more sport-courts and sports programs for children and adults. Residents would also like more parks, land for connecting our trails system, and a fitness/recreation center with an aquatic facility. The public will view a draft of the document and be able to comment on the plans. When the master plan is completed, it will be adopted by the City Council.
The Hotel Utah, now the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, is celebrating 100 years this year. For Saratoga Springs’ resident Ted Gallegos, the building holds a wonderful memory. In November 1974, George Harrison of the Beatles came to Salt Lake City for a concert at the Salt Palace. Others who came to play at the concert were Eric Clapton and Billy Preston. Gallegos, who was seventeen at the time, noticed a picture of Harrison in a newspaper ad. He knew he had to draw the image. It was a month before the concert, so he felt he would have the time; however, he adds, “I knew I had to be creative and add the detail missing from the ad.” The day of the concert arrived. The teen-age Gallegos took his artwork to the Salt Palace, looking forward to meeting his favorite Beatle. Gallegos states, “I’ve always admired him for his music, his songs, and his spirituality.” Almost everyone at the Salt Palace discouraged him, so Gallegos, sad and disheartened, drove back home to Lark, his hometown at the time. Gallegos thought about his decision. Then he decided that it was now or never, so he drove back to Salt Lake, this time to the Hotel Utah, where Gallegos thought Harrison was staying. There he was given a name, Denis O’Brien, George Harrison’s manager. He also met a chauffeur who told him that Harrison was, indeed, staying at the hotel. Enterprising as ever, Gallegos met a new friend from India, “Gabs.” Together, Gallegos and his new acquaintance wrote a note to O’Brien. A short time later someone tapped Gallegos on the shoulder. He introduced himself as Denis O’Brien. “Let me see what you have.
That’s really good. Would you sell it if George signed it?” At first the teen-age artist thought that maybe Harrison would buy it, so he gave an enthusiastic, “Yes!” However, what O’Brien really wanted to know was if Harrison signed it, “Would you sell it at all?” Gallegos promised that he would never sell it. O’Brien took the artwork and returned with the drawing, now transformed with “Love from George Harrison” and “Very Good Ted” on the lower right corner. Below the signature he wrote “Hare Krishna” and four religious symbols. A short time later the elevator opened to reveal a short, very thin man. “He was about five feet nine inches tall.” George Harrison, who was alone, walked over to Gallegos and asked, “Are you the artist?” After a short conversation, Harrison walked out the door, climbed into a light green motor home, and drove off toward the Salt Palace by himself. That night Gallegos, still floating in the clouds, attended the concert and thought to himself, “Nothing is Impossible,” which is the title of Harrison’s 1970 album. On June 9, Gallegos and his wife Cheryl had dinner with Governor Gary Herbert, Mayor Ralph Becker, and President Thomas S. Monson, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Hotel Utah/Joseph Smith Memorial Building. At the end of the evening, Gallegos mentioned that it was his birthday. President Monson heard him and said, “I want to shake his hand.” Gallegos and his wife waited for President Monson as he pushed his wife’s wheel chair through the crowd. Cheryl said that some of their children shook the President’s hand the day before. “They said that they are not going to wash their hands.” President Monson leaned over and kissed Cheryl on the forehead. “Now I’m not going to wash my forehead,” Cheryl said.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
June 21, 2011 The City Council meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Jim Miller, Cecil Tuley, Michael McOmber, Brent Call, Mayor Mia Love and city staff. Public comment Jim Jacob, a co-owner of several acres of land in southern Saratoga Springs, stated that his family has raised sheep in the area for four generations. A few years ago, he and other family members entered into a Special Improvement District (SID) agreement with the city. The SID concerned culinary water storage and access. As part of the agreement, the family members incurred a debt of $1.5 million. Jacob said he became concerned when he realized he could not pre-pay on the debt without incurring a 25-percent penalty. The debt was also coupled with a high administrative fee. Jacob felt these two parts of the agreement were not disclosed at the time the agreement was made. He now had money to pay off his portion of the debt, but not the 25-percent penalty. Harvest Hills resident Shellie Baertsch expressed concern over sign ordinance changes that were being discussed in the City Council’s work session. She was unsure as to how the city would enforce the changes and how they affected park strips maintained by HOA’s but owned by the city. Another Harvest Hills resident asked that the city encourage businesses that stand at the entrance to Harvest Hills to keep their shrub beds weeded and maintained. She thought the landscaping was becoming a blight to her neighborhood. Another resident stood and asked if the city had made any progress on an ordinance allowing backyard chicken coops. City staff replied that the ordinance would be presented in mid-July. Policy items
Resolution No. R11-27 (0621-11): A resolution adopting the City of Saratoga Springs Municipal Budget for Fiscal Year 20112012 and establishing an effective date. A member of the city’s Finance Committee stated that his group endorsed the 20112012 budget. It also endorsed the city’s decision to raise the rates of enterprise funds. He noted that as residents of the city, it is difficult to see utility rates increase, but they also saw the ramifications of not doing so. Mayor Mia Love thanked the Finance Committee members for their help in keeping the city financially sound. Assistant Manager Spencer Kyle then summarized the 20112012 fiscal year budget. He described where the city’s revenues come from: 35 percent from sales tax revenue, 25 percent from property tax, and about 10 percent from intergovernmental revenue. He noted that there would be no property tax increase this year, but that there would be a utility rate hike. There were small increases in each of the following utilities: culinary water, secondary water, sewer, garbage, and recycling. There was a large increase in the storm drain rate— from $2 to $4.45 per month. Love pointed out that all utilities need to be self-sustaining (meaning that the residents are charged for all costs incurred for each service). The fees charged are strictly there to cover costs, she stated. Kyle then added that some of the fees collected were also put aside for utility emergencies and repairs. Councilman Michael McOmber said he was troubled by the $158,000 employee appreciation fund. This fund would amount to a 2.5 percent pay increase given to employees on a performance basis. He told city administration that most corporations have had pay freezes in effect for the last few years. It is hard to explain to residents that we are increasing their
utility rates, but giving employees a 2.5-percent increase in pay, McOmber surmised. He thought the percentage should be smaller. McOmber’s comments spurred a lengthy and somewhat spirited debate about the pay-forperformance system and the percentage of pay given out. McOmber and Jim Miller were worried that the raises would be given out in a blanket fashion and that employees would not even know why they were given raises. Christensen tried to assure them that this would not be the case and that goals would be set and then evaluated in performance evaluations. Councilman Bud Poduska was on the other side of the debate, stating that all employees should receive a pay increase to reward their loyalty to the city. In the end, the percentage raise was reduced to two percent and the budget was approved, with Bud Poduska and Brent Call opposing. Public Hearing: Resolution R11-26 (6-21-11): A resolution amending the City of Saratoga Springs Budget for Fiscal Year 2010-2011 and establishing an effective date. City Manager Mark Christensen reported that staff was still working on a five-year budget plan. He noted that recent changes in state requirements of how cities collect property taxes made the task more difficult. Love agreed, saying she was frustrated by the change as it forced those residents who pay their property taxes to subsidize those who don’t. She encouraged residents to learn how they are affected by changes at the state level. Consent Calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Resolution R11-28 (06-2111): A resolution approving an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement establishing the Jordan River Commission and approving that Saratoga Springs be a member of such commission. City staff reported that the commission membership would
Local youth attend HOBY seminar Surprise visit by Hugh O’Brian By LeeAnn Bohman Managing Editor/Staff Writer
McKenna O’Connor and Darrick Twede, both students at Westlake High School, recently represented the school at the Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) Leadership Seminar in Aspen Grove. They joined with 99 other youth leaders from across Utah to interact with groups of distinguished leaders in business, government, education and other professions to discuss present and future issues. O’Connor is the daughter of Michael and Laura
O’Connor and Twede is the son of Darren and Bea Twede. The ambassadors, sophomores chosen from public and private high schools, attend the seminar to broaden their understanding of their leadership potential and further their self-development. One of the goals of the program is to “show ambassadors how to think, not what to think.” The ambassadors are challenged to perform at least 100 hours of community service within 12 months of the seminar. They are also challenged to set personal goals and, based on reports of these goals,
scholarships are awarded. Hugh O’Brian, who was a popular actor of the 1950s and 60s, surprised the ambassadors with a visit on the final day of the seminar. He shared his personal experiences and advice. O’Brian started the HOBY program in 1958 after meeting with humanitarian Dr. Albert Schweitzer in Africa. Schweitzer believed "the most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves." Since its inception, more than 375,000 students have participated in the HOBY Leadership Program.
cost the city $2,100 annually. Benefits would include completion of trails and amenities, a review of development plans and a desire for greater preservation. City staff also stated that the commission had hired an executive director and that each participating city would have one member on the board. Miller asked about the city’s ability to leave the commission once it joined. Staff reported that the city would have the opportunity to opt out each year. He also mentioned that Lehi was not participating and that it might affect Saratoga Springs’ ability to make improvements around the Jordan River. Love asked staff to check with Lehi to see if they were at all considering joining the commission. Councilman Cecil Tuley thought the city should join in order to have a say in the river’s future, and to get assistance in grant writing. The resolution was approved with Jim Miller opposing. Amended Site Plan for North Saratoga Storage located at 2175 North Redwood Road, Ryan Bybee, applicant. City staff reported that the applicant had made some changes to his plans. Those included wider aisles among storage units, a tan and green exterior, less parking stalls and a chain link fence along the property line. McOmber disapproved the chain link fence, stating that the city discouraged its use as much as possible. Miller agreed. Tuley suggested a cinderblock wall in place of part of the fence line. The site plan was approved with the addition of the cinderblock wall requirement. Public Hearing: Rezoning and Concept Plan discussion for APEX Storage located at 2225 North Redwood Road, Apex Storage, LLC, applicant. City staff reported that the applicant was requesting a zone change from mixed use to a mix of regional commercial and office/warehouse. This request
mirrored adjoining property, but did not reflect what was on the city’s master plan. Tuley was concerned about over-saturating the city with storage units. McOmber thought the residents should have a say in such a zone change. He noted that the city’s population had increased significantly since the public could last comment on the city’s master plan. Poduska thought it would be difficult not to grant the requested zone change seeing as how the city granted a similar request to an adjoining property owner. City staff pointed out that if the zone change was denied, it would remain mixed use. This would likely mean a mix of commercial and high-density housing. She reminded the council that Harvest Hills residents had told the City Council on multiple occasions that they did not want more high-density housing in northern Saratoga Springs. The zone change was approved, with Miller and McOmber opposing. Amended Master Development Plan for Stillwater located at approximately 3200 South Redwood Road, Michael Green, applicant. City staff reported that the amended plan included 144 single-family homes and 90 town home units. Nearby residents liked the plan because of the reduction in town home units. There was a lengthy discussion about what to do with a small piece of city-owned land in the Stillwater Development. Options discussed included having the HOA deed an adjoining small parcel of land to the city so a park could be built. Or, the city considered selling the open space so it would not have to be maintained. Each option had its own legal complexities and the city wanted to give the HOA a chance to weigh in on different options. The plan was unanimously approved, with a decision on the small parcel of land being left out of the agreement. The meeting was then adjourned.

“Super Dell” Animal licensing at it again now easier in SS and EM
By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Local personality “Super Dell” Schanze was in the news again recently when he was arrested for a paragliding stunt he performed off the Astoria Column in Astoria, Oregon last month. In a release for the press, the local Oregon police department stated that the "Astoria Column is a local treasure that is highly valued. It is not a location for stunts or behavior that detracts from it. The city and many private donors have spent an incredible amount of time, energy and money ensuring that the column is preserved. The department will take a zero tolerance approach toward violations of the city code that governs the use of its park and the column." According to www.astoriacolumn.org, “The Astoria Column has served for over 80 years as a beacon on the Pacific Northwest Coast. It sits in a wooded area 600 feet above sea level on Coxcomb Hill, Astoria, Oregon’s highest point. Majestic views of the countryside surrounding Astoria are the great Pacific Ocean to the west and the mighty Columbia River to the north. Snow-capped volcanoes of the Cascade Range rise to the east and Saddle Mountain reaches to the sky on the southern horizon. The story behind the Column, its deterioration and

rescue by the Friends of Astoria Column, rivals the history it depicts.” In 1995 a million dollars was spent in the columns restoration. The stunt was videotaped and posted on YouTube where it has currently achieved over 33,000 views. Although the police didn’t find Dell Schanze at the tower, they received a tip and were later able to arrest him on violation of city code. He was in jail less than two hours after his $10,000 bail was received. It is not Schanze’s first time being arrested. Schanze is best known locally for his Totally Awesome Computers commercials, his stints with the law, and his runs at Utah governor and mayor for Saratoga Springs.
Saratoga Springs has taken a step towards helping pet owners officially license their cats and dogs. Although a license has previously been required for all of the city’s dogs and cats, it took owners driving to the animal shelter in Lindon to accomplish the task. Now Saratoga Springs has made the process easier by issuing licenses right in their city offices. To get an animal license, citizens must bring in proof that the animal is immunized against rabies, without this proof the animal cannot be licensed. The owner will also be asked to fill out an easy form and pay a fee, after which the license will be presented. Fees for a one year license range from $15, if the animal has been spayed or neutered, to $35 if the animal has not been “altered.” There is also two year and three year licenses available, with a higher fee, for those who can give proof of a rabies vaccination lasting that long. According to Animal Control Officer Officer Beglarian, all money earned from the licensing goes straight to the animal shelter and the city is now offering licenses
“just as a service for the citizens.” Beglarian states that any cats and dogs picked up and taken to the shelter will have to be licensed before the shelter will release the animal. He also says that although the animal control officers usually try to educate owners on licensing, if the animal hasn’t been a previous problem, if the rare citation is issued the courts will usually drop it if the owner’s pay the licensing fee. Eagle Mountain also makes
licensing easier. According to Linda Peterson, the city’s public information director, “The city’s utilities office processes dog licensing for Northern Utah Valley Animal Services (NUVAS).” Eagle Mountain also charges $15 to$35 for a one year license, although Peterson states that the utilities office can only accept checks for the service, not any other method of payment. She encourages those residents with questions to contact NUVAS at 801785-3442.
Simply Ice Cream By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review
Some things are great to have close by: hospitals, gas stations, ski slopes, and of course, ice cream parlors. I can imagine parlors would be especially beneficial in this area where I see a lot of pregnant women; there are probably tons of cravings for ice cream… mixed with pickles or other things. Luckily we now have an ice cream place in Eagle Mountain. It’s called Simply Ice Cream. With ice cream, sundaes, shakes, floats, banana splits and courtesy cones that are available in tons of flavors, including a few sugar-free, I’m guessing they can satisfy any craving. Simply ice cream is a very family-friendly parlor. They even have stepping stools. I remember as a youngster trying to reach on my tiptoes and still not be able to see all of the delicious choices the local ice cream parlor afforded me. Little ones no longer need to fret. They can just step up and see the frozen, colorful bounty. It is a clean, simply decorated place with tables on the inside and out. Also, prices include the tax, so kids can know exactly how many pennies to bring. Simply Ice Cream serves Farr Better Ice Cream. I wasn’t familiar with that brand so I did a little research. In the winter of 1895 Loren Farr and his son started harvesting ice from local ponds. Stored

by wrapping it in hay until summer, they would sell their precious ice blocks on the streets of Ogden. The business progressed into a commercial ice plant and succeeded until 1927 when GE introduced a new device called the refrigerator. The Farrs realized they needed to make a change, as using ice to cool food would soon be nonexistent. After much research they decided to convert their commercial ice plant into an ice cream factory. In 1929, they opened Utah’s first commercial ice cream manufacturing plant and today, almost 90 years later, they’re still going. Their original parlor is thought to be the oldest one in America. So if you go to Simply Ice cream, you’re supporting a legacy. Now, kind of like gas stations, ski slopes and hospitals, you may have your favorite. Growing up, my favorite place was Baskin Rob-
bins. I still crave that place… even if I’m not pregnant. I don’t think Simply Ice Cream’s choice of ice cream is quite as good as Baskin & Robbins,’ but it’s still good. It’s hard ice cream, for Pete’s sake. I’m just glad we finally have an ice cream parlor that offers lots of choices and additional ice cream creations. Plus, they’re a lot cheaper than other parlors. One scoop costs 150 pennies, 2 scoops cost 200. Shakes cost from $2.75$3.75. Wow, that’s a cool and sweet deal… literally. So if you’re craving ice cream, and you don’t want to drive more than a few minutes, try Simply Ice Cream. With such a variety, all you need is a few pennies…and perhaps a pickle. Simply Ice Cream is located at 3535 E. Ranches Parkway. Hours are M.-Th., 12-9 p.m., Fri. 12-11, Sat., 12-10p.m., Sun., 12-7 p.m.
r o f s ’ t a h W inner? d Wild Rice Salad This salad was recently served at a baby shower I attended. I had not thought of the possibility of using rice in place of the traditional pasta in a cold salad, but it was delicious and a refreshing change from the ordinary summer side dish. 1 pkg. Uncle Ben’s Wild Rice (cook according to directions, then let cool) 1 red bell pepper, diced 2 or 3 chicken breasts, cooked and cubed 4 green onions, sliced juice of 1 lemon Combine above ingredients.
Dressing 1/3 cup seasoned rice vinegar 2/3 cup vegetable oil 1 T. Dijon mustard ½ t. sugar 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 T. water Salt and pepper to taste
Combine ingredients for dressing and mix well in blender. Pour half of dressing over salad and let sit overnight in refrigerator. Before serving, add 2 avocados (diced), 3 oz. toasted pecans, and the remaining dressing. Serves 4 to 6.
