After years of grocery store rumors, Coop's Market is finally on its way to being built in Eagle Mountain. After being approved by the City Council this past spring, all steps are now in place to make grocery shopping in Eagle Mountain a reality. Already working on the road access, the builders plan on breaking ground in December and hope to have the store opened around June. It hasn't been an easy road
for store owner Phillip Cooper. He states that the independent grocery store has had to deal with the current economic downfall, problems with banking and financial backers, as well as updating for new codes and working with the city and developer, all of which has taken place over the last few years, postponing the original time-frame of opening the store. Having overcome these issues, Cooper states that they are "moving forward with construction." The 50,000 square feet store will be a full-service grocery store,
including such amenities as a pharmacy, bakery, and deli, as well as a small eat-in establishment. Cooper says that the store is also hoping to include an inside bank, and is currently looking for a bank that would be interested in that opportunity. According to Cooper the store will be "aesthetically pleasing" and "not your typical box store," also using such words as “artistic,” “modern” and “energy efficient” to describe his plan for the shopping unit. The store will be located by Porter's Crossing on the Pony Express Parkway.
Sculpture stolen By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
What is the world coming to? Why are there people who don’t respect the hard work of others? How is it that so many good people have their accomplishments trashed by someone who hasn’t learned how to respect others’ property? As far back as the beginning of mankind, there were those who created and those who destroyed. The fact is that we will always have the creators and the destroyers with us. The most recent act of selfishness took place in Sunrise Meadows Park where a beautiful sculpture created by a talented young man for his Eagle project was stolen. The sculpture went missing
Every 10 years, some of our state leaders attempt to design a map that affects every resident of the state in regards to whom voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots for. Representation is calculated by a committee who decides where political boundary lines should be drawn in regards to the population of specific areas. As it also occurred 10 years ago, the political fighting and accusations arising from this process stirred up contentious debates and arguments in the law-making chambers of this state. However, the process did finally result in map configurations that have now been accepted as law. Republican Representative Kenneth Sumsion has been the chair of the Redistricting Committee since last April and he shares that he is pleased with the results of the many months of work and deliberation that went into the process of drawing the maps. Though he claims that he "fully expects that the Democratic Party will be suing over the final decision," he says that he feels confident that the final map designations will hold firm if contested before the Supreme Court. Sumsion relates that the new House boundaries will make it easier for the citizens of Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs to have their voices heard, as the area has now been given three House seats versus the one that was previously in place. That translates to 36,852 people per seat, down from the roughly 90,000 that the seat had become
sometime between October 12th and October 14th. It appears that the perpetrator(s) broke one bolt and unscrewed the other bolt. There were two posts at the base that were glued into holes in the rock. It seems that it must have taken some effort to steal this heavy sculpture. Who could have done this? Perhaps it was kids or maybe it might have been someone who sold it for money. The metal itself would have brought the thief some cash. The Eagle project, complet-
increase in population is why it's important to hold the census every 10 years, so that representation can be evenly divided among delegates. In regards to the Congressional districts that have been drawn with the new maps, the cities of Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs are now in the same district. The Fourth District encompasses all of the two cities, in addition to many other rural areas, with Lehi now being broken in two districts as I-15 becomes the dividing line. State Senate boundaries also encompass all of the two cities. A new map for State school boards has been adopted as well, and all the new maps can be viewed at the website www.redistrictutah.com by clicking on the "Bills: passed maps" tab. The website was brought online this past spring in an attempt to have more citizen involvement in the process, according to Sumsion. One of the main components of the website was the ability for ordinary citizens to submit their own versions of the redistricting maps online. Many submissions were made, and one local Utah county resident had his own version voted in as one of the "6 Congressional Finalists." Resident David Edward Garber did not have his map adopted as the final map, but he did receive a lot of praise for his efforts and ideas. Sumsion is pleased with the final map outcomes and states that he is excited to be able to offer "better representation" to the people he represents due to the new changes.
ed on October 3, 2008, was a memorial done for the neighborhood to bring peace after a natural gas explosion took the life of April Roper, a beloved member of the Sunrise Meadows neighborhood. Who can forget this terrible tragedy? Then to have the memorial destroyed is such a travesty. The police have been notified, and flyers have been circulated around the neighborhood. If anyone has any information, please contact the Saratoga Springs Police Department.

The Crossroads Journal
What do you think ? Recently, the State of Utah announced a program to help Utahns prepare for an earthquake. Dubbed the "Great Utah Shake Out," the state-wide earthquake drill is designed to help all citizens, from individuals to corporations, to prepare for the likely event of a catastrophic earthquake. The Crossroads Journal asked local residents if the recent earthquakes and other natural disasters around the world have prompted them to do more to prepare for an earthquake in our area. We also asked the same participants if they would be interested in signing up to participate in the Shake-Out if the information was made available to them.
Are you prepared for an earthquake? “No, the recent earthquakes have not worried me because our family has been preparing for disasters for awhile. It has not caused us to do anything in addition to what we have already done. I would be interested in participating in something that had more to do with schools and businesses becoming better prepared.” -Burgandy Keel Eagle Mountain
“Yes, I has made me think about things. I haven't necessarily acted upon it, but it is at the back of my mind. I do think that the earthquakes and other disasters are a wakeup call about what to do to be prepared.” -Jenny Olsen Saratoga Springs
“I would like to see all of this happen, but can it really happen? I definitely feel we need to help the small businesses by lowering their taxes, so they can hire more people. That will definitely help the unemployment situation. Also, if we don’t help people keep their homes, then our taxes will end up paying for them to have state assistance anyway.” -Jerry Rowan Eagle Mountain “Yes, the disasters have prompted me to take a look at what we have done and what we can do better for our home. As the kids have grown, I realize that it's time to switch out all the clothes, diapers, and formula to suit the ages they are now. I also need to focus on our water supply. I would definitely participate in something that helped us to better prepare.” -Rebecca Snow Saratoga Springs
“Yes, the recent activities have made me worried. I want to work on my 72-hour kit and get my home in order. You know, the essentials. I am especially worried with being so close to the chemical depot, and what we should do if something happened. Yes, I would be interested in any info that could be given to me"” -Sergio Romero Eagle Mountain

Los 2 Amigos Westlake Dance New restaurant in town
By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
A new restaurant opened in Eagle Mountain. This is exciting news for the folks here. New businesses and especially those that provide food or entertainment are very welcome in our communities. The food is authentic Mexican, but you have to ask for the hottest of the three homemade salsas. This is because many of us are common gringos and not used to the hot food of Mexico. By the way I tasted all the salsas, and they were all extra delicious. Let me share my experience with you. A friendly, pretty waitress, who turned out to be the owners’ daughter, seated us immediately. Glasses of water, along with a pitcher filled with more ice water, plus chips and salsa were brought as soon as we were seated. The manager, Jose Munoz, was actually the person who took our orders and brought the chips. The manager told us that he was the owners’ son. It seems this is a family-run business as we also met another son who worked there. Of course, as busy as it was, there was more than just the Munoz family who were employed. The salsas are all homemade, and my husband wanted me to ask for the recipes, which I did not. They were too busy.
The people seated at the booth behind us kept talking about the rice (which we didn’t order.) The husband behind us said, “This is the only time I’ve had rice that I really like!” The food was very hot. Homemade tortillas and an abundant serving of guacamole…delicious! My husband ordered a pork tamale and a soft shell taco. I had a smothered burrito with cheese. Everything was good and fresh. Jose told me that business was great. He said that the smothered burrito was the most popular menu item. Lucky me— that’s what I had ordered. I also learned that it is a family-owned business. They have another restaurant in Price, but the family wanted to open another restaurant, and Eagle Mountain seemed like the ideal location. They love the area and are very happy to be there. Jose’s father and mother, Jesus and Candy Munoz, are the owners. The décor is from Mexico and was done by Candy Munoz. The restaurant has a seating capacity of 209 and can host private parties for up to forty-five people. Los 2 Amigos is open seven days a week from 11 A.M. until 9 P.M., Sunday through Thursday and 11 A.M. until 10 P.M. on Friday and Saturday. The location is 3563 East Ranches Parkway, Eagle Mountain.
Company 2011 We want to welcome this year's Westlake High School Dance Company. Westlake Dance Company (WDC) is an elite performancebased program whose purpose is to provide students with the opportunity to refine and improve skills in the art of dance. WDC began their program in 2009 and have been going strong ever since. WDC recently returned from the annual Shakespeare Festival in Cedar City; they took two pieces based on Shakespeare's work. The pieces they took were showcased in their preview concert with other pieces they have been working on. Along with the dance program
at Westlake High School, for the first time, WDC has a preparatory company, Alliance. Alliance follows
the same curriculum as WDC and they will also have their own concert.
Forgiven fines go to Friends in Need By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
From August 15 until September 30 the Eagle Mountain Library had a fine forgiveness/donation fundraiser in which they gave the earned money to the local animal sanctuary Friends in Need Animal Rescue. According to
Eagle Mountain Librarian Michele Graves, "The library does a fine forgiveness period each year. We choose randomly so that we do not have people waiting to return items at a certain time of year. We have done Food for Fines before, but this year felt that we needed to do this for the forgotten animals that are rescued. We all remember people during the year and make
many donations to them, but animals, especially rescues, need many things as well." The library was able to present a check to the Friends-in-Need shelter for the amount of $1012, as well as donate other needed things such as blankets to keep the animals warm. There was also additional money donated to the shelter's Paypal account.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer October 18, 2011 The City Council meeting was called to order at 6:30 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Jim Miller, Michael McOmber, Cecil Tuley, Brent Call, and city staff. Mayor Mia Love was absent. Awards Fire Chief Jess Campbell congratulated six residents for becoming new members of the city’s Citizens Emergency Response Team (CERT). Campbell also mentioned that another CERT class would begin in January. Public comment Harvest Hills resident Shellie Baertsch asked the city to consider a left-hand turn light for cars turning left from northbound Redwood Road at Harvest Hills Boulevard. She noted that the intersection was unsafe for many teenage drivers living in Harvest Hills. Another Harvest Hills resident reported that she had noticed some street signs in Harvest Hills were cracking and peeling, making the street names difficult to read. She also asked the city to better maintain the WelbyJacobs canal that runs through Harvest Hills. She said it was overgrown with weeds. She noted that this was particularly important now as the city was currently negotiating a crossing with another irrigation canal company. Lastly, the resident asked about a provision in the city’s ordinances preventing children who attend in-home daycare from playing outside. She stat-
ed that children should be getting a minimum of one hour each day of outdoor activity and thought that would be nearly impossible to achieve for children in full-time daycare situations. A representative from Walgreens asked the City Council to consider allowing businesses to have reader boards or marquees. He said this would benefit the city by advertising civic events and emergency information. He thanked the City Council for allowing vending machines on the exterior of buildings. A Jordan River Development resident asked about the city adding a turn lane into his development on State Road 73. He said the intersection was dangerous. UDOT had denied the residents’ request and he was asking for the city’s help. Resident Rebecca Call reported that a resident had seen the city dumping materials by the public works building. The resident called the material an eyesore. She also wondered if the newly repaved Harvest Hills Boulevard had been ground down two inches to meet the curb and gutter, as promised in the bid award. Councilman Michael McOmber then noted Mayor Mia Love’s absence. He read a letter stating her support of chicken keeping in low-density residential areas in the city. She thought the proposed ordinance provided a way for residents to keep chickens while providing enforcement to protect those not in favor of chicken keeping. In her letter, Love also asked residents at the meeting to be respectful of one another. McOmber echoed Love’s request stating that a public hearing about chicken keeping had gotten
somewhat out of hand at the last planning commission meeting. He stated that no clapping or booing would be allowed at the meeting. Note: The chicken-keeping ordinance is discussed later in this article. Policy Items Ordinance 11-10 (10-18-11): An ordinance establishing electronic meeting procedures for the City of Saratoga Springs and establishing an effective date. City staff reported that this ordinance would allow City Council members to participate in meetings electronically via something like Skype or Google Voice. City council members thought the ordinance was wonderful, as it would allow those who sometimes traveled for work to be able to serve their community. The ordinance was unanimously approved. Consent Calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Budget amendments City staff reported that a capitol lease was being changed to an operating lease. Also noted in the amendment was that the city had $124,000 too much in its reserves. The extra money would be transferred to the capitol projects fund. The budget amendment was unanimously approved. Bid award approval for a citywide crack-seal road project. City staff reported that the bid had been awarded to Superior Asphalt for $68,000. The bid award was unanimously approved.

city’s audit. Todd Allen, of Squire and Company, presented the audit to the City Council. He reported that many improvements had been made and that the city’s assets totaled $14 million. Liabilities totaled $3 million. Allen stated that the only finding was that the city had slightly too much money in its financial reserves. Both the city manager and accountant were then commended for the clear and concise reporting of the city’s financial matters. The City Council appreciated the clarity and transparency. The audit was approved unanimously. Public hearing: Revisions to the Land Development Code (Section 19.02, Definitions and 19.04, Establishment of Land Use Zones, Outdoor Vending Machines, Telecommunications Equipment). Planning Director Jim McNulty reported that outdoor vending machines would be allowed at businesses, a maximum of two per commercial parcel. They could also be placed in parks and recreational areas. The machines will not be allowed near residential buildings. Telecommunications antennas would also be allowed on commercial roofs and city water tanks. Councilman Poduska commented that he was for anything that helped businesses run more efficiently. McOmber added that the vending machines would be great additions to parks and give revenue to the city and the recreation program. Christensen noted that this addition to the code in any way limited home-use antennas or satellite dishes. The revisions passed unanimously. Ordinance 11-11 (10-18-11): An ordinance adopting amendments to the City of Saratoga Springs Land Development Code and establishing an effective date (Section 19.02, Definitions and 19.04.240, Keeping Chickens). Planning Director Jim McNulty reported that the proposed ordinance would allow chickens in the R3 zone (low-density residential). The purpose of the ordinance would be to minimize nuisance to neighboring property owners, prevent rodent and vermin proliferation, and allow residents to produce food for the exclusive benefit of their families. McNulty reviewed some of the stipulations of owning chickens in residential areas. Some of these included keeping the chickens in a secure outdoor enclosed area and removing manure to eliminate odor. Other restrictions included setbacks from property lines and a limit of ten chickens per residence. The meeting was then opened for public comment. Fifteen residents commented on the issue—about ten residents for chicken keeping and five against. Those residents who spoke in favor of chicken keeping told the City Council that they should have the freedom to do what they want in their own backyards. They also pointed out that chickens made no noise, did not smell, and often lived in backyards where next-door neighbors were unaware of the presence of chickens. Some residents for chicken-keeping thought the requirement to keep chicken coops hidden from view was excessive, as the city does not require cats and dogs to be hidden from sight. They also explained that keeping chickens allowed families to be more selfsufficient. Residents against chicken keeping cited health concerns as a reason to restrict chickens (as some chronic diseases can become worse in the presence of fowl). They also thought that farm animals didn’t belong in neighborhoods. They suggested chicken keeping be a conditional use in the res-
idential zone. City Council members then weighed in on the issue. Tuley liked the ordinance and thought it was a good compromise between both sides. He didn’t know if having a fully fenced yard was necessary for chicken keeping. Councilman Jim Miller suggested the ordinance prohibit the composting of chicken manure on site. He also stated that perhaps the number of chickens allowed should be based on the square footage of the chicken area. Councilman Bud Poduska wanted residents with health concerns to have a way to address it with chicken keepers. He suggested chicken-keepers be required to register their birds (free of charge). Part of the registration process would include making sure adjoining neighbors don’t have chronic illnesses that would be exacerbated by chickens. Councilman Brent Call reported that he had talked with residents throughout the city and most of them were against chicken-keeping. Because I represent the city, I will have to be against this ordinance, Call concluded. Councilman Michael McOmber stated that he too had talked to many people from both sides of the issue. He concluded that residents who currently owned chickens needed to prove to other residents that they could be good chicken-keepers. McOmber also suggested that the ordinance have a nine-month waiting period for enforcement. After the nine months, fines and restrictions would be decided. He also wanted to make sure that chicken coops were at least 30 feet from neighbors’ primary residences. McOmber then clarified grandfathering under this amendment. He said that current chicken owners could not be grandfathered in, as they were not currently in compliance with city code. However, residents who own chickens during the nine-month trial period would be allowed to keep chickens if the city decided against chickenkeeping so long as they were in full compliance with the chicken-keeping code. The ordinance passed, with Call opposing. Public Hearing: Revisions to the Land Development Code (Section 19.18.070), Permitted Temporary Signs). City staff reported that this revision would allow for more seasonal temporary signs. Businesses would be given about 90 days each year where they could display such signs. The revision was unanimously approved. Ordinance 11-12 (10-18-11): An ordinance adopting amendments to the City of Saratoga Springs Land Development Code and establishing an effective date (Section 19.27, Address and Street Naming). City staff reported that the city wants to track addresses and street names to prevent duplication and to help emergency dispatch services. The city would now be approving developers’ street names and addresses through GIS. The ordinance was unanimously approved. Internet contract with RapidWave (fire station). City staff reported that RapidWave would pay the city $250 per month to put an antenna on the fire station. The fire station would also receive free internet service. The agreement was unanimously approved. Reports McOmber held up his thick packet of papers given to him for the City Council meeting. He reported that the city recorder had to prepare 22 of these packets for each City Council meeting. He suggested that the city might want to look into more electronic documents or IPAD’s. The meeting was adjourned.

EM City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer
October 18, 2011 The Eagle Mountain City Council meeting was called to order at 7:10 p.m. Those present at the meeting include Donna Burnham, Jon Celaya, John Painter, Ryan Ireland, Mayor Heather Jackson and city staff. Councilman Nathan Ochsenhirt was absent. Information items and upcoming events Road work on Pony Express Parkway from Bobby Wren Boulevard to MidValley Park will continue until late November while a sewer line that is being installed. Traffic is limited to one lane during the construction. Please use caution while driving through the area. Public comments A resident of the Eagle Park subdivision asked for an explanation of the city's policy for takehome vehicles used by employees that live outside of city limits. City Administrator John Hendrickson said that the vehicles are assigned to on-call employees. Mayor Jackson further explained that there is really only one employee who is always on-call that lives outside of the city (the fire chief). Other employees rotate and only take a vehicle when they are on-call. Ifo Pili, the city's economic development director, said that there has been no official cost analysis but that it is cheaper to loan the vehicles out than it is to pay mileage. City Council/ Mayor's Items Donna Burnham said that she attended two ribbon cuttings for businesses in the City (Wasatch Deli and Los 2 Amigos). She encouraged residents to "shop locally." Mayor Jackson said that there has been a delay in the completion of roadwork on SR-
73. She explained that the core samples didn't meet requirements and had to be ripped out and replaced. Jackson pointed out that it is better to take the time to fix the problem now rather than having to do roadwork again in the near future. Appointment Sandy Ring, from the White Hills subdivision, was appointed to the Senior Citizen Advisory Council. She will fulfill the remaining term of Pat Grace, which ends on December 31, 2013. The appointment was unanimously approved. Policy items Consent Agenda The consent agenda was unanimously approved. Public hearing Ordinance - Consideration and adoption of an ordinance of the City Council of Eagle Mountain City, Utah, amending the Eagle Mountain City Municipal Code, Chapter 17.80 Sign Regulations and Sign Permits. The proposed code amendment would either remove or modify regulations concerning off-premises ladder signs. The current code allows ladder signs that are specifically for property developments and is difficult to navigate for other businesses. Mayor Jackson said that she recently had lunch with Donna Milakovic and Diane Bradshaw from the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce to discuss the issue. Milakovic suggested that the Chamber of Commerce lease property from the city and take over the regulating of sign usage. City staff recommended tabling the motion in order to make time to put together a proposal. Several local business owners expressed disdain for the current code, saying that it makes it very difficult to advertise their business and affects their overall growth and success. A few of the owners said that without signs, their customers have a hard time
finding them. One owner said that it is a mistake for the City to take away a business's opportunity for exposure. Doing so doesn't send the message that Eagle Mountain promotes local business. The Planning Commission recommends either removing signs or allowing the Chamber of Commerce to take over. Councilman John Painter said that he doesn't understand why the city needs a middleman. The item was tabled with a three -to-one vote. John Painter opposed. Agreement - Consideration and approval of a land purchase agreement with Saratoga Springs for the CWP pump station site. The proposed agreement allows for the purchase of land from Saratoga Springs along Pony Express Parkway for the construction of a future well pump house for CWP water. The funds have already been budgeted for but the cost is lower than anticipated. The agreement was unanimously approved for $99,099 plus closing costs and survey costs. Agreement - Consideration and approval of a professional consulting service agreement with Sawvel and Associates for electric cost of service and rate study. The agreement is for a third party evaluation of the city's electrical system rates. The bond process confirmed to city staff

that outside evaluation would be valuable. John Hendrickson explained that the study would take about three to four months to complete and that the city is not obligated to accept the findings. He said that the funds for the study are already in the budget. John Painter said that he isn't clear on the benefit of using an outside party and said that Adam Ferre (city engineer) could likely do the same thing. Hendrickson explained that it would be of value to have someone who deals with these evaluations on a regular basis and could analyze several different scenarios. He said that the company in question has a lot of experience analyzing these numbers. Mayor Jackson added that the process is similar to having a third party audit. Jon Celaya said that where
Item 4 = knife Item 5 = cash Item 6 = animal carry case Item 7 = DVD case Item 8 = (7) wallets Item 9 = (2) ice chests Christensen can be contacted at 801-766-6503. Items must be claimed within nine days of this posting.
possible he'd like to see a competitive bid for this type of work in the future. Hendrickson explained that this type of work does not require a competitive bid. The agreement passed with a three-to-one vote. John Painter opposed. Agreement - Consideration of purchase of certain Rocky Mountain Power facilities within Eagle Mountain City. Rocky Mountain Power came to the City Council Work Session to offer the purchase of some of their facilities within the city. Mayor Jackson said that the offer is not in the best interest of the city and does not follow good business practices. The agreement was unanimously opposed. The meeting was adjourned at 8:14 p.m.

Obituary Gaylord Andrew Scott Sr.
Gaylord Andrew Scott Sr. passed away Tuesday, Oct. 4th after a courageous battle with brain cancer. Surrounded by his family he was joking and positive until the end. Gaylord had an infectious smile and his influence for good was well known. He loved practical jokes, telling a story and being the life of the party. Family was the most important thing to Gaylord and his actions spoke louder than his words. Born Nov. 7, 1937 in El Paso Texas, son of Forrest L. Scott and Clara Peterson. He was a Texas boy through and through. He fell in love and married Edith Devish on April 4, 1958. Gaylord served 4 years in the Air Force. He worked 8 years for El
Paso Natural Gas Company and 30 years for the Texas Department of Public Safety. Working as a State Trooper was the job of his life. The integrity and honesty of his service was well documented. Humble to the end, we all have a story of a life he saved, a situation he defused or a ticket he was never to shy to write. He loved hunting, fishing, motorcycles and anything outdoors that he could enjoy with the family. They moved to Eagle Mt., UT on Jan. 1, 2000. He loved Utah and the beauty it beheld for him. Gaylord and his family were sealed together on August 19, 1978, in the Salt Lake Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Survived by his loving wife Edith (Dee), children, Gaylord Jr. (Yvonne), Fred (DeAnn), Cindie (Ron) and Randy (Cindy), brothers Ed (Peggy), Fred (Eugenia), sister Kathleen, many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, who were the light in his eyes. Preceded in death by his sister Shirley. He will be missed. Funeral services were held Tuesday, Oct. 11, 2011 in Eagle Mountain. Interment, Utah Veterans Memorial Park at Camp Williams. Online guest book at wingmortuary.com. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Camp Floyd Cemetery to be Re-dedicated Camp Floyd State Park in conjunction with the Town of Fairfield and the Friends of Camp Floyd will be conducting a re-dedication ceremony of the Camp Floyd Cemetery on Veteran’s Day, November 11, 2011 at 5 p.m. Established in 1858, Camp Floyd housed the largest concentration of U.S. troops then in the United State. The troops were sent to Utah to suppress a rumored Mormon rebellion which never took place. The army was recalled back east in 1861 for the Civil War emergency. In the 1960’s efforts were made to research death records and restore the cemetery. As original grave markers had been lost to age, the exact location of the graves were unknown. Markers installed in the 1960's were simply placed symmetrically throughout the cemetery. Due to limited research access at that time, many of the markers contained incorrect information. A detailed research was compiled in 2003 of those buried at Camp Floyd. With new technologies the correct information on the Camp Floyd burials was obtained and documented. A ground-penetrating radar was completed in 2008, which located the actual site of the graves. The 1960's grave markers were removed and replaced with up-right white headstones to reflect the period of the cemetery. The re-dedication of the cemetery will commemorate the history of Camp Floyd and honor those veterans buried there. The event will conclude with the Utah Civil War Association performing drills and a fire squad salute. The dedication will be followed by a fireworks show provide by Lantis Fireworks & Laser
of Fairfield, Utah. Hot drinks will be provided with bon fires to keep warm. Those attending are asked to bring two non-perishable food items to be donated to the local food bank. Camp Floyd State Park is located in the town of Fairfield, 22 miles southwest of Lehi on State Highway 73. For more information about the event or park, please contact the park at 801-768-8932.

Local author releases second novel By Emily Zimmer Thompson Staff Writer In a world where fantasy books have captured the attention of youth and adults alike, a local author has created a fictional story scenario that promises to entertain readers. The author, Lisa Carroll, is a resident of Eagle Mountain who has lived in this area for the past six years. The community that she now calls home is perhaps similar to that of the fictional Midwestern town that her book characters reside in. Or is it? Since the story line takes readers to other intriguing locations on planet earth, the familiar starts to become unfamiliar as Carroll intermingles fantasy and real-life elements within her stories. Carroll has just released the second installment in her "Lor Mandela" Series. The first novel, titled "Destruction from Twins" received excellent reviews and gathered many fans. The latest book, called "Four Hundred Days" has been enjoying the same positive reception as her first release. Although writing in the fantasy genre is something that Carroll enjoys a great deal, she had an additional objective in mind when she began writing the series. The author shares, "It's gotten so hard to find good contemporary books that don't contain graphic language and sex." She continues, "I don't feel these are necessary. If the story is strong enough, a writer shouldn't have to rely on such gimmicks to generate sales." Carroll relates that she keeps her books clean on purpose and she doesn't feel that they have lost any of their edge as a result of that choice. The author recommends that her books are best read in sequential order as they are not meant to be stand-alone works. Now that the second installment has just been released, Carroll has started writing on her third and final book in the series. Interacting with her fans is important to Carroll, so she recently held a contest held among fans on
her website for the best "catch-phrase" that will be used randomly throughout her final book. The winner will receive a signed copy of all three books in the series when it concludes. Some of the comedic relief in Carroll's stories may be drawn from moments in her own life. She shares that in her spare time she enjoys hanging out with her husband and five children "engaging in activities which are prone to provoke uproarious laughter." Perhaps her nearby neighbors can attest to the laughter heard coming from their home. Many locals may have seen Carroll's books on display for sale at Emmett's and Ethel's in Lehi, where Carroll's husband is a co-
owner. Her books are also available in paperback and e-book formats online at www.Lormandela.com.

Top 10 Halloween movies to haunt your holiday I was working in the lab late one night, when I realized that Halloween was right around the corner. It’s a great time of year: The weather turns cold, the leaves fall from the trees, and because we’re in Utah, the headlines read like Halloween all year long. Since we’re used to strange goings-on, it doesn’t take much to get us in the mood of the terrifying season. Still, there’s something to be said for curling up in front of the TV with a blanket, the lights out, some hot cider in hand and a chilling movie on DVD. I love horror films. I love that feeling of facing fear and knowing it’s just a movie. And while not all the following choices — my top 10 Halloween movies — may be fear-inducing, there’s a thrill or two to be had. 1. The Haunting (1963) — The greatest haunted house movie ever made, bar none. A group of would-be ghost hunters seek psychic phenomenon in a “bad house.” What makes The Haunting so great is 1) it’s based on killer material by Shirley Jackson; 2) it’s impeccably directed (Robert Wise, who gave us the medium-scary West Side Story and the downright terrifying Sound of Music), and acted (Julie Harris, Claire Bloom, Richard Johnson and Russ Tamblyn); and 3) the terror is 90 percent psychological. You don’t need to see a ghost if you can feel it. 2. Psycho (1960) — The first and only great slasher film. Something fishy is going on at the Bates Motel, and Norman (Anthony Perkins) wants to keep it a secret. Body count is low, suspense is high. Alfred Hitchcock filmed it on a shoestring and broke every screen convention. Even the trailer is more entertaining than most modern horror movies. One early disgruntled viewer wrote to Hitch and said,
“Since my daughter saw it, she refuses to take a shower.” Hitch’s response: “Send your daughter to the dry cleaner.” 3. Nosferatu (1922) — Frame for frame, F.W. Murnau’s silent classic has more haunting screen images than any other vampire movie before or since. The story is familiar — an Eastern European blood-sucker moves into town — but the treatment relies more on chills than on shocks. Great fun! 4. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) — In the 1950s, about half of the sci-fi or horror films are veiled metaphors for the spread of communism. This one is 50s paranoia at its best. Alien pods are producing replicas of all the townspeople. Will the population realize it before it’s too late? They will if Andrew McCarthy has anything to do with it. Starts out slow, as any good invasion would, and builds to a frenzy. A 1978 remake pays homage to it, but this version is creepier. 5. Wait Until Dark (1967) — Bad guys play mind games with blind woman Audrey Hepburn in an attempt to find a doll filled with heroine. Originally a stage play, its single set adds to the general feeling of claustrophobia and entrapment. Genuinely eerie premise owes a lot to the intelligent plotting and a nefarious performance by Alan Arkin. 6. Pinocchio (1940) — Kid’s film? No way! Pinocchio goes through hell to become a real boy, including a scary trip to Pleasure Island. The donkey transformation scene is as frightening as any werewolf morph. And we haven’t even got to Monstro the giant whale, yet. It will have kids crying in the theater. 7. The Ring (2002) — The readers of Entertainment Weekly crowned The Ring as the scariest
movie of the last decade. While that’s a somewhat subjective coronation – and I’m well aware money people favor the original Japanese movie Ringu – there’s something to be said for a scary movie with the premise that a video can kill you. I’ve been watching movies for 50 years now, and can say with some authority that the idea is preposterous (though Pokemon the Movie came close to killing me. For me it was the cinematic equivalent of Scared Straight: If Hell is anywhere near as bad as that movie, I never wanted to do another wrong thing). As for The Ring, sure it’s scary, but it’s fun, too. Case in point, when my daughters watched it, I was listening from the other room, and at the appropriate moment, I called their cell phone and whispered, “Seven days.” It made my heart full that they screamed. 8. The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1919) — Bad makeup notwithstanding, this silent film from the German Expressionist period holds up well. Dr. Caligari comes to town with a somnambulist who does his evil bidding. Goofy sets with oblique angles actually make sense in the end. 9. Freaks (1932) — More disturbing than terrifying. Tod Browning used real circus sideshow attractions in this effective story about humanity and exploitation. Some sequences will stay with you long after the story has faded to black. 10. Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948)— The Universal horror films of the 30s and 40s are classics, but aside from the monsters, there’s nobody to care about. Enter Abbott and Costello, whose sympathetic clowns give some fun people for the monsters to chase. ****** Write to The Cinemaniac at mwnabhan@aol.com.

DP Cheesesteaks
by Jennifer Klingonsmith
r o f s ’ t a h W inner? d
By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review
If you’ve seen the movie “Rocky,” you might remember that it takes place in Philadelphia. One thing I remember is the weather… the never-ending gray skies. Another thing I remember is the famous, “Yo, Adrian,” but that’s beside the point. I was wondering if the sky is always dreary in Philadelphia. I did a little research and they average from 6-10 clear days per month. Wow. That could get depressing. So what would you do if you lived in such an overcast place? I think cooking might soothe the dreary soul. Maybe that’s why they came up with Philly cheesesteak sandwiches; Philadelphians needed something really good for a pick me up. I ate at a place called DP Cheesesteaks the other day and when I walked in I felt like I was in Philadelphia. The décor was perfect with brick and darker-toned walls covered with Pennsylvania sports memorabilia. Of course there were plenty of windows to let in the wonderful Utah sunshine. Well, I guess that’s the one thing that made it not quite Philly feeling; there was sunlight, and tons of it. Now I love rainy days, I wish we had more, but even thinking about those movies and the never ending “drear” of Philadelphia makes me want to run and buy a solar lamp and some vitamin D. So DP did good; the sunshine is a welcomed touch. DP offers many choices for steak sandwiches. They all sounded delicious, but the one that caught my attention was the Cherry Pepper steak sandwich. It’s made with steak, onions, cherry peppers and provolone or cheese whiz. I asked the waitress if the cherry peppers were sweet or hot. She said they were mostly sweet and offered me one. “Yo Adrian!” Ow. I decided to
Page 9
Crock Pot Apricot Glazed Pork Roast order something else. My tongue was numb for the rest of lunch. The Philly Bleu and the Traditional were the choices of the day. The Philly Bleu is made with steak, onions, mushrooms, provolone and bleu cheese. The Traditional had steak, onions, provolone or American cheese. One thing I forgot, but should’ve ordered, was cheese whiz- that’s what makes a true Philly Cheesesteak. Next time. DP uses only certified angus beef and they slice it fresh, daily. No steak-ums served here. The sandwiches were served promptly and warm. The meat was done perfectly and tasted just right. With slightly crunchy onions and cheese smothered all over, if that’s what you like, then this is the place. I’m guessing the flavor could compare to the real Philadelphia deal. The Philly Bleu was definitely bleu. The taste was pronounced, almost overwhelming, but since I love bleu cheese, I didn’t mind it one bit. I did have a hard time really tasting anything else, though. Their six-inch sandwich was the perfect size, but if you’re really feeling the Philly “gray sky” dreariness, you can lift your spirits with a nine-inch or foot-long. One thing that’s cool about DP is they’ve tried to be Philly authentic. They serve Herr’s chips, made in PA. They serve Tastykake packaged cakes,
also made in PA. And finally, they sell Birch Beer, of course that, too, is made in good ole PA. What is birch beer, you might ask? It’s a soft drink made usually from birch bark. I would describe it as a very mild sassafras or root beer. It’s definitely interesting and worth a try. I’m guessing minus the added sunshine, a native Philly would feel right at home at DP and even a non-native would like it too. I’m glad we have a local restaurant that can bring those great Philadelphia tastes just a little closer and make our dreary days, just a little brighter. “Yo Adrian…” you did it! Prices for a six-inch sandwich range from $4.99- $5.79 and a combo, which includes chips and a drink, costs an additional $2.59. DP Cheesesteaks is located at 933 West 500 North, American Fork. Store Hours: Mon-Thurs, 119. Fr-Sa, 11-10.
If you need a guest-worthy meal that’s easy to make, this pork loin roast will feed a crowd with little effort in the kitchen. The meat is tender and delicious. The apricot sauce is an added bonus and can be served over the meat and with a side of vegetables as well. 1 cup condensed chicken broth 1 18-oz. jar apricot preserves 1 medium onion, chopped 2 T. Dijon mustard
4 lbs. boneless pork loin 2 T. oil Salt and pepper
In large frying pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, sprinkle pork roast with salt and pepper (all sides). Add meat to pan and brown (about 5 minutes per side). In crock pot, stir together chicken broth, apricot preserves, onion and mustard. Add pork loin roast to crock pot. Turn to coat with mixture. Cover and cook for 8-9 hours on low or 4-5 hours on high. Serves 10-12. Adapted from a Macey’s recipe. Apricot sauce: Remove meat from crock pot and keep warm. Then strain 2 cups of drippings into a saucepan. Heat just to a boil. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk 3 tablespoons flour into 1/2 cup water. Add to apricot sauce. Boil until thickened. Pass with meat.
