Connecting Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs

Legislative candidates win early By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
Apparently if you’re a Republican and live in Utah, it’s pretty easy to get into politics and come out a winner. For instance, there are four Republican men running for the legislature this year, who already have essentially won their races. How can this be? It is because no one bothered to file against them by the deadline. Most Democrats, who may have wanted to run, won’t run because it is usually a waste of time and money in this predominately Republican state. Among the lucky four are two who hail from Eagle Mountain: Mark Madsen and newcomer David Lifferth, who soon will represent the newly drawn House District 2. “As the deadline approached, I kept checking the Internet on my smartphone to see if anyone filed. I made a final check about a half-hour after the deadline and then celebrated,” Lifferth said. “I felt a sigh of relief, but then I was kind of disappointed because I wouldn’t need all the campaign plans I made.” Later on his web page, Lifferth posted a quote from Sun Tzu’s The Art of War: “The best battle is the battle that is won without being
fought.” Lifferth graduated from BYU and is presently a business analyst at FamilySearch.org. He was a City Councilman in Eagle Mountain City prior to his bid for the Utah State Legislature. Mark Madsen represents District 13 and is presently serving as chair of the Senate Judiciary, Criminal Justice, and Law Enforcement Committees. Madsen has been involved in politics for a long time, first way back in 1984 when he was an intern for Orrin Hatch. Later he traveled extensively throughout Central America,
working in the field and in Washington to support freedom fighters and to bring down tyrannical governments in the region. Since relocating to Utah, he has graduated from BYU Law School and was admitted to the Utah Bar in 2003. Now he works for Larry H. Miller Management in the legal department as project manager in the commercial real estate division. The two candidates say they worked hard to scare off competition and still plan to work hard with voters and political convention delegates to represent them well and keep their political futures bright.
Walmart organizes EM Earth Day Project
By Nancy Kramer Staff Writer
Spring is officially here and along with spring comes Earth Day. This year Walmart in Saratoga Springs organized an Earth Day
project in cooperation with Eagle Mountain City. A commendable aspect of this project is that about thirty volunteers from Walmart stores throughout Utah County came out to Eagle Mountain on Friday, April 20, to help beautify the city.
These volunteers spent five hours working with Eagle Mountain Parks Department, planting new shrubs in an island adjacent to the parking lot at Smith Ranch Park, which is next to Pony Express Elementary. They also spent time cleaning up Nolan Park.

Principal Sumner to open new Eagle Mountain middle school
By Emily Fotheringham Staff Writer
Principal Scott Sumner has four questions he likes to focus on concerning the students he works with: “1. What do we want students to know? 2. How will we know if students have learned? 3. What will we do when students are not learning? 4. What will we do when students already know?” These are the questions that will be asked as Scott Sumner serves as the principal at the new Eagle Mountain middle school that is set to open in the fall of 2013. Sumner grew up feeling pride in the schools that he attended and hopes to give future Eagle Mountain students a similar experience. He first taught at Orem Junior High School after graduating with his bachelor’s degree from Brigham Young University. While there he taught U.S. History, student government, yearbook and physical education. He also coached tennis and basketball. Following earning his master’s degree in educational leadership, Sumner was hired as an assistant principal at Oak Canyon Junior High School which is located in Lindon. After four years as an assistant principal, he has spent the last three years serving as principal at Oak Canyon. Asked why he wanted to open the new Eagle Mountain middle school Sumner stated, “When I learned of the opportunity to be part of the new school in Eagle Mountain I was excited for the possibilities. I immediately drove out to Eagle Mountain to see the community and where the school would be built. My first impression of Eagle Mountain is it’s a gem of a
city. I loved the layout, the bike paths, the trees and noticed immediately how friendly everyone was by the waves from residents as I drove by.” Sumner continues, “Opening a new school brings excitement to work closely with the community collaboratively and learn what is needed at the new middle school. We get to work together and build a school where the community knows student learning is our focus. I feel excitement for our future students to be the first to enter the doors of the new school and be part of the new traditions.” As a principal Sumner has loved seeing students reach their highest potential and talks about the thrill that comes from helping a child who has fallen behind grade level make “incredible gains.” He stresses the need for the whole school community to work together in aiding student learning and says, “When students see and feel success in school, and know how much the school cares about them, their learning potential is limitless.” When not at school Sumner is spending time with his wife Cynthia and their four children. He loves supporting his family in their activities and when he finds a little time for himself he enjoys running, watching all levels of baseball and riding his road bike. He has competed in three marathons and two 70.3 miles triathlons. To area residents Sumner expresses, “I am looking forward to meeting all of the students and their parents. I am here to help students feel and obtain success in school.” He will spend the next year completing tasks necessary for opening a new school, including the process of naming the school.

SS City Council Notes By Jennifer Klingonsmith Staff Writer April 17, 2012 The meeting was called to order at 6:20 p.m. Those present included Bud Poduska, Michael McOmber, Jim Miller, Shellie Baertsch, Rebecca Call, and city staff. Mayor Mia Love was absent. Policy session Awards and recognitions Fire Chief Jess Campbell announced 15 new graduates of the City’s Certified Emergency Response Team program (CERT). They also took part in an earthquake drill as part of their training. City Manager Mark Christensen reported that the City’s administration department had received a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award from a national professional organization. He noted that Saratoga Springs was one of only 15 in the state to earn the award. Public comment A resident expressed concern a city-owned park strip near his house had been labeled “natural habitat” and was never landscaped. He noted that other nearby park strips had been landscaped. City staff was asked to follow up with the resident. Consent calendar The consent calendar was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Proposed revisions to the Transportation Master Plan, City of Saratoga Springs, applicant. City staff reported that the proposed plan is a flexible document designed to meet the city’s transportation needs in the year 2040. Some changes were needed in the plan so that additional city planning could take place. During this process, city staff reported that local landowners,
the LDS church (which owns significant amounts of land in the city), and nearby municipalities all participated in the discussion. The meeting was open for public comment on the plan. A resident of The Cove at Jordan River stood and asked for a small collector road between Riverside Drive and Redwood Road. He thought the volume of traffic required more than a residential road. A representative from the Concord Holdings Group (landowners) said he was disappointed to see a freeway near his property versus the originally planned Foothill Boulevard. He thought the action violated a 2009 agreement between Concord Holdings and the City of Saratoga Springs. He stated that the city had thirty years to put this plan in place and that decisions did not have to be made that night. A Farmland Reserve representative stated that he had been assigned by Utah County to help plan a road parallel to I-15 on the west side of the county. He agreed with the city’s proposed Hidden Valley alignment of the eventual Mountain View Corridor (MVC). He noted that the Hidden Valley route would benefit both Eagle Mountain and Saratoga Springs. A Property Reserve representative agreed with Farmland Reserve. He stated that the Hidden Valley route would be less costly to build and positively impact local landowners. He stressed the need for the road to be a freeway, not a parkway. Councilman Bud Poduska noted that Pioneer Crossing cost less to build because Lehi was diligent in preserving transportation corridors. Saratoga Springs hoped to follow Lehi City’s example. Councilwoman Rebecca Call restated that the plan was fluid and would likely be changed in the coming years as developers come into town.
She also thought that at this point, the transportation plan neither positively or negatively impacted anyone. We need the plan in place in order to move forward, Call concluded. Councilwoman Shellie Baertsch thanked staff for the effort in putting the plan together. She agreed that the Hidden Valley MVC route made the most sense. She also noted that the transportation plan would help avoid situations down the road that would necessitate UDOT condemning homes. The transportation plan was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Proposed revisions to the General Plan Land-Use Map, City of Saratoga Springs, applicant. City staff reported that the landuse map had not been revised in many years. Since that time, some issues had arisen questioning if future land uses still made sense and would most benefit the city’s residents. Some areas that were being considered for change included adding a neighborhood commercial zone near the northeast border of Harvest Hills, adding regional commercial around 2100 North, planning for rural residential areas near Foothill Boulevard and also in areas south of Aspen Hills, adding a municipal zone in the city’s center, and adding large areas of planned communities on PRI land (land currently being farmed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). The updated land-use map was unanimously approved. Public hearing: Proposed revisions to the Land-Use Element of the general plan, City of Saratoga Springs, applicant. The revisions were unanimously approved. Conditional Use Permit Amendment for Central Utah Water Conservancy District North Shore Terminal

City staff reported that CUWCD wanted a temporary access road between State Road 73 and its construction site, but was not granted access by the landowner. Instead, the water district asked permission to use 800 West as an access road and offered to rebuild the road when construction of the aquifer is complete. Baertsch asked city staff to make sure the CUWCD kept traffic flowing on 800 West while the road is being rebuilt. There was extended discussion on whether a bond needed to be issued for the road improvements. It was decided that a written agreement would be made. The conditional use permit was unanimously approved. Reports Call requested that city staff draft a letter to residents concerning private boat docks on Utah Lake. She also asked about the placement of city
dumpsters for residents to use. She thought additional dumpsters were needed in Harvest Hills and Sunrise Meadows. City staff reported that the dumpsters are frequently emptied, but that they would look into placing additional dumpsters. Call also mentioned the confusing directional signs on Pioneer Crossing. She noted that the signs directed drivers to drive north to Saratoga Springs and south to Eagle Mountain. She thought this suggested that Saratoga Springs did not exist to the south. She also noted that when coming into Saratoga Springs from Elberta, a directional sign was needed. Baertsch reported that a second traffic accident had occurred at the intersection of Berry Patch and Harvest Moon Drive in Harvest Hills. She said community members had requested additional traffic calming measures. The meeting was then adjourned.

WHS senior signs to compete with Y in gymnastics By LeeAnn Bohman Managing Editor/Staff Writer
Mikaela Jones, a senior at Westlake High, was recently offered a full-ride scholarship in gymnastics at BYU and signed a letter of intent. Jones, who just turned 17, started gymnastics when she was seven at the Legacy Center in Lehi. She progressed so much that her coaches didn’t feel there was more they could do for her and she moved to All American Gym in Lindon, where she did
gymnastics for six years. Two years ago, Jones competed at the Level 9 Western Championships, where she took second place on the beam and fourth all-around. Last year, she competed at the state meet and took first on the vault and second all-around. With that, she qualified for regionals, but tore her ACL and wasn’t able to compete or try to qualify for nationals. Jones will start at BYU in the fall and hasn’t decided what to study yet, but is considering culinary arts.

3 Top Perennial Performers When it comes to long lasting color in the garden, perennial flowers can’t be beat. Perennials are flowers and grasses that return year after year. They require some basic maintenance (see below,) but are otherwise happy to bloom and grow for many seasons to come. The three perennials below are some of my favorites. They attain their full size quickly, have a long bloom period, and adapt readily to our poor soil and exposed conditions. Catmint. This beautiful perennial sends up lovely blue spikes all summer and into fall. It attains full size by its second year and resembles a small shrub more than a perennial (about 30 inches tall and wide). It may need to be trimmed in July to promote rebloom.
Coreopsis. An abundance of bright yellow flowers float over mounds of green leaves. These plants are tough and like a hot, dry spot. Coreopsis will also flower from early summer into fall. Removing spent blossoms will promote a longer bloom time. It reaches a height of 24 inches and sends up volunteer seedlings each year. Avoid “rosea” and “verticillata” varieties, as they dislike clay soil. Jupiter’s Beard. This rose-red flowering powerhouse is underused in our area. It has achieved star status in the sunny areas of my yard because of its easy-growing, free-flowering nature. It attains its two-foot tall stature quickly and will self-seed to fill in. Flowers from June to frost. All of these perennials will complement each other nicely in any sunny spot. Plant them about 18
inches apart and dress the bed with mulch. Then, sit back and enjoy your endless display of color and by all means, cut some and bring the joy inside! Perennial Maintenance. Perennials need a few things to look their best. In late winter, most perennials need to be cut back to within a few inches of the ground, as they all bloom on new spring growth. When new growth begins, apply a balanced fertilizer (i.e., 10-10-10). Lastly, as flowers fade, remove them. Trimming will keep the plant looking tidy and, in many cases, encourage more blooms.

EM City Council Notes By Danielle Palmer Staff Writer
April 17, 2012 Newly crowned Miss Eagle Mountain McKilee Brunger gave the opening prayer and First Attendant Ashleigh O’Connor led those in attendance in the Pledge of Allegiance. Mayor Heather Jackson called the meeting to order at 7:07 p.m. and recognized the presence of the Eagle Mountain Royalty. Lizzie Coltharp, 2nd Attendant, was also present at the meeting. Brunger then approached the stand, expressing her excitement and enthusiasm about her opportunity to help serve the community during the upcoming year. She particularly mentioned her background as a behavioral therapist for an autistic child. She informed the public that Utah holds the highest rate for autistic children in the country, and Eagle Mountain is among the highest in the state, averaging 1 in 30 children in the city with autism. Her goal during Pony Express Days is to raise funds toward a scholarship to allow an Eagle Mountain family to enroll in an Early Intervention program called Bridges. She again expressed her excitement to help the city in any way during her year as Miss Eagle Mountain. Announcements Pony Express Days is approaching. Events will take place from May 24 until June 2. Tickets to the concert can be purchased online or at the City Hall. More information can be found on the city website. Public comments Sam Allen, resident of Juniper Drive, had concerns about the city advertisements on having low electric and gas costs. He was also concerned that the released budget on the website did not include the 2011 audit report. Mayor Jackson referred Allen
to Ifo Pili to further discuss the details about his concerns. She stated that their audit report should have been posted and that will be rectified. David Benight, representing the Eagle Mountain City Parks and Recreation Advisory Board, then approached the stand. His comments pertained to an ordinance on the agenda pertaining to off-highway vehicles in Eagle Mountain City. He spoke about the hard work behind it and the board’s recommendation to adopt the ordinance. Brandon Watters, resident of Dodge Street, then addressed the council members on behalf of a substantial group of concerned citizens. His presentation concerned the park in Smith Ranch and the issue presented by an area once intended as a volleyball court. It has since been nicknamed the “Volleyball Swamp” as it has become a hazard holding rainwater, and an eye sore. The surrounding resident families now have grown teenagers who need better accommodations then the local playgrounds. He proposed that funds be awarded to convert the area into a basketball court, which would fix many of its problems. It would also provide a better and safer place for the local teenagers to hold activities. The HOA has already approved this plan. Mayor Jackson referred Mr. Watters to the Parks and Recreation Board. She informed him of the upcoming Parks and Recreation meeting to be held Thursday at 6:30 p.m. where this proposal could then be presented. Later in the meeting, it was noted that about 12 people in attendance at the meeting, consisting of many teenagers, were present to show their support for Watters’ basketball court proposal. Toby Simmons then approached the stands, wanting to express his interest in becoming more involved in the city and becoming more informed, specifically on utilities. The
mayor informed the public they will soon hold a town hall meeting on the subject. City Council comments Donna Burnham thanked the mayor for her participation in the Utah Shakeout exercises earlier that day and the importance of the exercise. She also assured the public that budget meetings are public. Public input is appreciated. Richard Steinkopf also added his appreciation for the Utah Shakeout. He also mentioned his pleasure about the Blood Battle Drive, and the fact that our city won! Mayor Jackson acceded that they actually had to begin turning some people away at the event because they had too much! John Painter commented on the item of interest that David Benight had addressed. He expressed his hopes that the item would pass and acknowledged that it would be a great opportunity to further enjoy the trails we already have. Ryan Ireland expressed his appreciation for those who came to the meeting to make public comments and participate in their city government. He expressed that now, of all times, is a good time to become involved as they are reviewing city budget. The mayor added that so many meetings go without any public comments at all and expressed her appreciation, in turn, for the feedback that makes it possible for them to better serve the citizens of the city. Proclamation for the National Municipal Clerks Week as April 29May 4, 2012. Painter motioned to approve the proclamation, Steinkopf seconded the motion and it passed unanimously by vote. Appointment for an intern for Interim City Treasurer, Paul Jerome. Burnham motioned to accept this appointment, Painter seconded the motion, and it passed by unanimous vote.
The Consent agenda was then on the table. Painter motioned to approve, Ireland seconded, and a unanimous vote resulted. Scheduled Items of Business Ordinance to amend Chapter 2.45 of the Eagle Mountain City Municipal Code, Youth City Council. The amendment would move the Youth City Council election from November to June. (Mumford clarified this to be in the municipal code
Exp. 6/30/12. Exp. 6/30/12.
and not the development code as stated on the agenda.) Steinkopf motioned to accept, Painter seconded the motion and commented on his appreciation for this move. The mayor agreed. Vote was unanimous and the motion passed. Ordinance to amend Chapter 5.05 of the Municipal Code (again corrected from the development code Please see EMCC NOTES on page 7

The Pie Pizzeria By Kim Zebley Restaurant Review I’m on another hunt. This time it’s for the best pizza. I know, it’s a tough job, but I figure it needs to be done. Unfortunately I’m not the world’s biggest pizza fan, and if I had to choose the best pizzeria, well, I couldn’t; I’ve only been to a few in the area. My husband has wanted to try The Pie Pizzeria in South Jordan. Since the majority of us love pizza he gave the family a challenge. If we completed a certain task, every day, for one week, the reward would be eating at The Pie Pizzeria. Really? How about something more cool like going mountain climbing? Oh well, a night out with everyone is great, and a night not having to cook isn’t so bad, either. So, we all worked really hard on the challenge and ended up at The Pie. I must say it has a pretty cool atmosphere- with a brick interior that’s been graffitied by local patrons. There’s soft rock playing, and outside eating that looks like it might be open for at least three seasons, with fireplaces and heaters. What a great setup. Plus, they have quite a few choices of salads, pizzas, wings/bread, baked subs, spaghetti, zappis and desserts. Just so you know, I live with a bunch of carnivores. I have no idea how they got this way, but they are. Me, on the other hand, well, some days I eat meat, and some days I prefer not to. On this evening my crew was ravenous and decided to order the “mountain of meat” pizza. That was definitely not the type of mountain I was hoping to conquer. It comes with pepperoni, smoked ham, Genoa salami, Italian sausage, and ground beef. Ugh, that makes me sickly full just typing all of those words. Of course, my husband knows me well, and ordered a side salad. All I can say is, that was a really good salad

as stated on the agenda) pertaining to business licenses. It would change the business license renewal date to the anniversary date rather than an annual renewal for all licenses. Nathan Ochsenhirt, participating by phone, was able to join the meeting at this point. Mayor Jackson clarified that if one already holds a business license, their renewal date will remain unchanged unless a change is requested and steps taken to do so. Painter moved to adopt the ordinance, Burnham seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote. Resolution amending the Consolidation Fee Schedule It was required to incorporate the changes to the business license renewal date. Burnham moved to adopt the resolution, Painter seconded, and the motion passed by unanimous vote. Bid award to CO Building Systems for the purchase of an 80’ by 100’ steel structure needed for the warehouse section of the new energy building. Painter asked if these funds were already included in the bond. Adam Ferre answered this was correct. Painter then moved to award the funds, and Steinkopf seconded. The motion passed unanimously. Motion for a withdrawal of the motion to approved the 2012 Municipal Recreation Grant Project: Painter motioned to approve the withdrawal and request the funds to roll over to the next year. Burnham seconded the motion and it passed by unanimous vote.
and the bleu cheese dressing was tops, with huge chunks of the good stuff. Our pizza took about 15 minutes and it was, well, beautiful; with loads of cheese and meat, and the crust was thick and browned just right for a crisp crunch and soft interior. It was steaming hot and one thing I know for sure, of all the pizzas I’ve ever tried, I’ve never seen more stringy cheese. That stuff stretched and stretched and had to be torn apart because it never stopped stretching. Amazing. The meat was, just as the name said, a mountain, and my family climbed up and through that protein rich mound like they were conquering Mt. Everest. Their frenzy was crazy with cheese wrapping itself around my children and meat flying here and there. I finally had to sit everyone down and remind them that we weren’t cavemen and that it was, in fact, a 16” pizza and there was no possible way we could finish it. They then settled to a more civilized routine. Yes, fellow patrons, I did at one time or another teach them table manners, and yes, they’d eaten within the previous week. As far as finding the best pizza, I’m still on a search. The Pie’s pizza had amazingly stretchy cheese, great crust and mounds of meat, but the meaty flavors weren’t as pronounced as one would imagine. It was pretty good, but I’ll have to give some more pizzerias a try. I’ll let you know. The prices were definitely not comparable to our local Little Caesar’s, but then again the pizza wasn’t comparable either. The Pie was way better. Our 16” cost $21.99 and with the drinks and salad, the total came to $36. One thing’s for sure, satisfying mountain climbing carnivores is definitely not cheap. The Pie Pizzeria is located at 10627 S. Redwood Rd., South Jordan. Hours are Mon-Thurs, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., Fri/Sat. 11 a.m.-12 a.m., and Sunday 12 p.m.-10 p.m.
Ordinance to adopt for the regulation and operation of off-highway vehicles in Eagle Mountain City, authorizing off-highway vehicles from neighborhood streets to cross over major roads. The ordinance would take effect July 1 as to allow time for necessary completions. Ireland asked how the motion would be made to allow modification to the selected crossings where changes are needed. The mayor suggested making the approval with the amended changes and specifically directing White Hills in the wording of the motion. Or they could approve the motion later after the corrections have been made. Ireland then moved to adopt, with the changes as discussed in the work session, and asked staff to resolve those issues. Painter seconded the motion. Burnham acknowledged the work that went toward this project. Ireland acceded that landowners’ involvement in this particular project was high and he had been given several comments about their good experiences and how pleased they were with the professional manner of the staff. Steinkopf asked if adding “sidewalks” in the ordinance would provide further clarity and there was discussion on the subject, but Ireland was happy with his motion as it stood. Chris Trusty inserted that the pavement mentioned for concrete versus asphalt is already assumed that trails and sidewalks are included. The motion passed by unanimous vote. As no other items were in order, Ochsenhirt motioned to adjourn the meeting. Painter seconded the motion and by unanimous vote the meeting adjourned at 8:14 p.m.
