The Story Trek comes to Eagle Mountain
By Danielle Palmer Todd Hansen hosts a show on BYU-TV where he randomly chooses locations in different areas of the country and randomly approaches people to find real stories for his show. These real people telling their real stories create a very unique episode every time. One recent episode brought Todd to Lehi, Saratoga Springs, and Eagle Mountain. The episode entitled, “You Just Do It” can be found at byutv.org. He found Adrienne Burdette in Eagle Mountain. “It was late March when Story Trek came. It was very strange to look out on my porch and see a camera crew and boom mikes aimed at my front door.” Adrienne told me, “Funny things went through my head like, ‘I don’t play Publisher’s Clearing House. So it can’t be them.’ In any case, I opened the door and
they told me who they were. I had never heard of the show, but they seemed like a nice enough bunch of people and so I agreed to tell them my story.” What an interesting and inspiring story she had to tell. Adrienne got to talk with Todd for about a half hour or more while the crew was setting up and she recalled the stories he told her about from other interviews he’d done. When I asked her why she felt like sharing her story, she responded with, “Why not?” The most unique thing about her world, she said is her 6 adopted children, making a multi-cultural and multiracial family. “Adoption has allowed our family to grow into something wonderful and unique, and at the same time we are just so normal and typical in so many ways.” She and her husband have six kids, all of which have been

adopted. The process began with the adoption of their first three kids, then after viewing an episode of American Idol asking for contributions to African children in need, the Burdettes were moved to adopt African orphans. This brought two more adopted children into their family. After those additions, Adrienne said she was finished with adopting. But she described praying to God that she would be willing to take in another if He sent one to her. Shortly after her prayer, a phone call brought them their youngest daughter. When the interview was over, Adrienne asked Todd whether they ever interview people in their pajamas or when their hair is a mess. He told her it happens all the time. Usually the person opening the door looks completely different from the person they interview because by then they have had time to get ready. “I remember saying, ‘Should I have done that? Why didn’t someone tell me to do that?’ So my 15 (or rather 5) minutes of fame, I was my own very unglamorous self.” Adrienne said, “Oh well.” Being her natural beautiful person for this interview was completely appropriate. After all, Todd does say it’s the ultimate reality TV experience. If you have a knock on your door from the Story Trek, just be yourself.

By Jennifer Klingonsmith There is nothing quite like the pangs of regret, and when it comes to landscaping, it is no exception. Below are some of the more common and more costly mistakes I see as I work with clients. Not allowing for mature size. Sure, that little evergreen tree at the nursery is only four feet tall and two feet wide; but does a tree’s initial size allow it to be planted
just a few feet away from a house? What size will it be in 10 years? In 20 years? A quick look on the tag will tell you that it may grow to be over 20 feet wide and over 40 feet tall. You may not be living in your home when the tree starts creating problems, but it is a given that at some point in time, a large evergreen planted a few feet from a house’s foundation will cause problems and have to be removed. And removal is costly. In local conditions, most shrubs and trees will only attain about 75 percent of the mature size listed on tags. So, besides factoring in this small reduction, respect the size they will eventually become. Other less severe consequences of not allowing for mature size include
Police Beat
Cameras, Recording, and Social Media By Matt Schauerhamer
I was having a conversation with a friend about cameras and police work. She asked if it was legal to record the police. I told her it absolutely was. The question arises, "when, where and what may be recorded." The answer is, "record when, where and what you would like." The only parameters I would suggest is to not hinder an investigation by placing yourself between an officer and a suspect. Don't place yourself in a dangerous crime scene because you think you may get some cool video for Youtube. Don't fail to provide aid that could otherwise be rendered. Please put the camera down and help if it is a situation that warrants it. Police officers have long depended on in-car cameras to capture video. In recent years, they have been aided by body cameras
to record a first-person perspective of incidents as they unfold. When I began my career as a police officer, there were no body cameras. Anything that happened out of the patrol car's view wasn't recorded or captured. Saratoga Springs officers and officers in many neighboring police departments are equipped with body cameras. In my experience, having a body camera has always been a beneficial thing. Whether accurately documenting and recording a crime scene, or making suspects accountable for their words and deeds, cameras are an incredible tool at an officer's disposal. Sometimes people feel the need to record law enforcement's actions. Such recordings are sometimes made by citizens for the same reasons police officers make recordings. People want to feel protected and safe. They want to ensure officers are also accountable for their words and deeds. If you feel the need to record a police officer, know that the police officers are probably recording you too. Also, any evidence you may capture could be subpoenaed for a criminal proceeding. Officers frequently use surveillance footage of crimes that aid investigations. Also, increasing in frequency are people coming forward offering police officers vid-
New Principal announced at Riverview Elementary
By Jennifer Klingonsmith
Riverview Elementary School students will see a new face greeting them for the 20142015 school year—Principal Matt Dias. Dias is replacing Barry Beckstrand, who opened the school in 2011. He has moved on to work in an administrative role at Alpine School District. This will be Dias’ first position as a principal and he expressed excitement in coming to Riverview Elementary: “I look forward to working with you and the amazing staff here at Riverview to create [a] passion to learn and grow within each of our students.” In a recent interview, Dias
overcrowding and an increase in disease and insects. Most plants like plenty of air circulation for optimal health. Shallow planter beds. This mistake can also lead to an overcrowded look in the yard. Most people install shallow beds because they want low maintenance. But often this limits what can be planted there in the long run. Here is a good rule of thumb: any planter bed should be at minimum, three feet deep. This allows for a depth of one mature shrub. If beds are at least five feet deep, you will have more design options, allowing for two layers of plant materials (typically a shrub layer in back and a perennial or annual layer up front). If beds are designed to be at least seven to ten feet deep, you will then have room for some mature trees and a mix of plants and shrubs. Drip irrigation and a thick layer of mulch will help large beds
explained his role as principal, “Some see the principal as a boss or the person in charge, but I see [my role] as someone who serves others, looking to see what help I can provide.” Dias also described the need to balance the have-to’s (budgets and administrative duties) with his want-to’s (working directly with the students and creating a fun learning environment). He said his philosophy echoes former Principal Beckstrand’s, in that elementary school should be one part WestPoint and one part Disneyland. As Riverview was one of the top-performing schools in the district last year, Dias hopes to stay the course and maintain forward progression. Dias’ other goals include wanting students to feel ownership in the school and having consistency in how teachers, parents and students are treated. At the end of the day, however, Dias stressed that the most important mark of a suc-

be low maintenance. Failure to plant a large shade tree. When hired for design work, I have some clients who fear having any large trees on their property. Most have heard horror stories of breaking limbs, heaving sidewalks, and premature tree death. Almost all of these events come from a poor choice in tree variety. But a well-chosen tree can be a strong asset in your yard for 50 years or more. Benefits of large trees include shade in hot weather, a windbreak, increased property value, and cost savings in cooling your home. My favorites? The “Shademaster” Honey Locust, the Sycamore, and Green Ash varieties. These are proven, well-behaved trees in our area. Lack of Mulch. Mulch is any material used in landscaping to cover planter beds. There are so many benefits of top-dressing beds with Continued on page 3 mulch,
eo they have captured on their cell phones. "I got that on video, if you need it officer," is a phrase I never heard at the beginning of my career, but is one that has proved helpful in several investigations. Media personnel and law enforcement depend on each other. Media outlets are often some of the first on-scene at a crime scene. Now is a time when the public demands and deserves government transparency. Police departments reach out to media outlets to help them publish information regarding at-large suspects and recent crimes. Media outlets are looking to police agencies to provide them with information regarding stories that generate public interest. The symbiotic relationship between the media and law enforcement is one that an astute police department nourishes rather than destroys. Social media is another realm police agencies are reaching out to the public. It is an area where pictures, recordings and information are easily disseminated to a wide audience. Many local police agencies have active Facebook and Twitter accounts to get valuable information to the citizens it serves.

cessful school is that teachers are doing what is best for each individual child. Throughout the interview, Dias said how impressed he has been thus far with Riverview’s quality of teachers and staff. “I am confident in the expertise and motivation our teachers have in helping students learn.” He also complimented the community’s creation of such a welcoming school, “You don’t feel that at every school, but I feel it here.” When asked what he most looked forward to in the coming school year, Dias stated that he was excited about the Chinese Immersion program and working with the wonderful resource team at Riverview. He also noted that this year, physical education will be added as a fourth specialty. In the past, students rotated between art, computers and music. Previous to his appointment at Riverview, Dias has worked as a fifth grade teacher at Saratoga Shores and as an assistant principal for Saratoga Shores and Pony Express elementary
schools. He also served as a TSA (Teacher on Special Assignment) for Greenwood Elementary. Dias is married and has two small children. They currently reside in Harvest Hills.

July 26-Aug 9, 2014 that I cannot list them all here. Mulch can be bark (my favorite), gravel, and decorative rock. Some of mulch’s greatest benefits include: moderating soil temperature, retaining moisture, adding curb appeal, and suppressing weeds. Planting inappropriate street trees. Street trees are planted in park strips between the sidewalk and the road. When chosen correctly, they give a vertical accent to the home and add that established feel that future home buyers will be looking for. When chosen incorrectly, they become the black sheep of the landscaping, yet they are the first thing people see when arriving at an address. The worst offenders are trees used in fruit production and weeping ornamentals. Most fruiting trees by their
The Crossroads Journal very nature are wide, low-growing trees. Yet people will be routinely forced to walk within a few feet of them if they are using the sidewalk. As for weeping trees, they are too short to frame and add a vertical accent to the house. Weeping trees belong up close to entrances.

July 15 Eagle Mountain City Council Meeting By Danielle Palmer
Council comments included encouragement with fireworks safety and wishes for happy holiday celebrations. CM Burnham mentioned the lantern fireworks that float around are not safe. Mayor Pengra mentioned the town hall meeting about the utility sale. He stated that the progress is moving forward and the city will continue to inform the public on the status of progress. The consent agenda was approved unanimously. A public hearing was held with a presentation on the ordinance amending the Oquirrh Mountain Master
Development Plan, which reduces the number of dwelling units from 417 to 346. This also reduces the density for project range of units per acre. The amendment included changes in acreage for units as well as open space. Elise Urler came forward to point out a common boundary in the area. She stated the plan was a wise one that she supported and she recommended its approval. CM Westmoreland expressed anxiety with sewer issues but appreciated the change in density. CM Ireland mentioned these issues were to be discussed with the Master Development Agreement, and not on tonight’s agenda. He moved to
New Daughters of Utah Pioneers EagleMountain By Sharon Erickson Eagle Mountain has a new chapter or camp of the International Daughters of Utah Pioneers (DUP). The camp name, pending approval from the International office, is the Pony Express Camp under the Utah Lehi Company, The first meeting was held July 8, 2014. The name of the camp was selected and elections of camp officers were held. Results are as follows: Camp Captain: Karen Green Gustafson, 1st Vice Captain: Tiffany Smith Alba, 2nd Vice Captain:
Sharon Erickson, Secretary: Wendy Visser Lojik, Treasurer: Tammy Henrie Zaelit, Registrar: Nicol Montero, Historian: LaDonna Rawlings, Chaplain: Alicia Rawlings Hill, Lesson Leader: Diana Boley, Music Leader: Kami Romig, Parliamentarian: Deanna Tobin Rhees, Outreach: Sharon Erickson. Anjanette Lofgren, President of Utah Lehi Company, swore in the officers the same night. The camp meets once a month, which includes lessons, and sharing of descendants stories. DUP was organized solely for historical, educational, and public purposes and
approve and the motion carried unanimously. An ordinance to amend Chapter 15.25 of the city Municipal Code, adding a permit requirement for earth products processing and storage was also adopted unanimously. The resolution to adopt the Pony Express Memorial Cemetery Rules and Regulations was presented. City staff researched other city regulations and decided to design 5x10 plots to allow extra scenarios, such as the ability to bury parents with an infant between them on the plotline. CM Westmoreland praised the staff for their prompt and efficient work on this project. The council adopted the ordinance by unanimous vote. An agreement to continue the existing Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with the Utah County Sheriff’s Office for Law En-
forcement Services, adding one more deputy to the agreement, was among other small changes. The current agreement expired July 1, so this agreement would be retroactive to the beginning of the month. CM Bradley pointed out that this agreement held a large chunk of the budget. He expressed his support and appreciation to the Sheriff’s Office for their good work in the past and stated he would like to see the agreement pass. Council passed the agreement unanimously. CM Burnham announced for parents involved in Youth Council or wanting to be involved, they are having an election to be held August 12. CM Bradley expressed appreciation to those who participate in the council meeting whether physically or by watching it later. Before adjourning, the anal-

ysis for Pony Express Days had been completed and was then presented. The budget for this year that just closed was to have $275,000 in revenue and $267,000 in expenses before the removal of some events. We had $7300 in sponsorships. Ticket fees for all events equaled $20,000. Overall revenue was almost $27,500. For expenses, $87,300 was in expenses including the rodeo contract, which will occur later this year. Bottom line is a loss of $60,331. This does not account for wages, so the cost of employees included then makes the adjusted loss at $87,746.68. If rodeo expenses were taken out from that total loss, the adjuste loss would be just over $24,000. The bulk of the loss is related to employee cost in putting on the events.

By Rep. Dave Lifferth Daylight Saving Time creates all kinds of problems and doesn’t fulfill its objectives. In this regard, it is just like ObamaCare and many other big government programs. All sorts of promises were made to get it passed, and the law delivers on none of them. The costs are higher than projected and the problems are not solved, and yet there are still people that defend it ferociously. Daylight Savings Time is similar to having a blanket on your bed that is too short and doesn’t cover your feet, so you cut off the top of the blanket and sew it onto the bottom. This doesn’t increase the length of the blanket, but it makes you feel good that at least you are trying to solve the problem. While there are some claimed benefits to Daylight Savings Time, all of them had only some semblance

#18116 of merit before the advent of modern electric power distribution. It is both easy and cheap to conduct activities around the clock despite the location of the earth’s rotation in respect to the sun. The downsides of Daylight Saving Time are plentiful, including very real life, health, cost, and safety concerns: Sleeping disorders are triggered by changing sleep habits both losing and gaining an hour. Changes in sleeping schedule typically impact people for 3 weeks until they are able to re-accustom themselves to the time change. This is a total of 6 week or 12% of the calendar year that people have to endure unnecessary sleep problems. Loss of productivity and work efficiency is triggered twice a year. There is a spike in heart attacks during the loss of an hour of sleep in the spring, that is not reduced by the gaining of an hour of sleep in the fall. Deadly car crashes double. This is especially pronounced here in Utah with many east – west streets. Driving into the sun is repeated before and after the time change when school children are walking to school during sunrise.
Losing an hour of sleep also contributes to drowsy driving which is not offset by drivers getting more sleep in the fall. Workplace injuries increase, including industrial accidents. Suicides increase after time changes. Estimates are that the twice-a-year changes cost the US two billion dollars. Increased migraine headaches are reported. There is increased illness due to decreased immunity from sleep loss. People miss meetings and game starttimes when clocks are not changed. We should regularly evaluate Daylight Saving Time and other ‘busywork’ activities, government programs, and traditions to make sure that we doing things for our benefit. Rep.

En route to the dairy department, ‘conveniently’ located at the back of the store you spy a box of doughnuts that would go alarmingly well with your cereal, and you might as well grab

When magazine writer how-to girl (Kate Hudson) heads to the bar, she’s looking for a guy she can hook and then lose while doing all the things that women do to drive men away.

Because while that milk and cereal would undoubtedly hit the spot, saving money on groceries hits an even better spot. love…and we will laugh while it happens. The beauty of this movie is that I get to enjoy a light-hearted RomCom with my husband without the complaints from my husband. We can enjoy this flick together because of the sidesplitting truths: men love women, but let’s face it ladies, we’re really annoying sometimes. Adorable, sure. Loveable, yes. Brilliant, of course, but sometimes we can be downright aggravating! This movie makes that truth laughable. I don’t love McConahey, but Kate Hudson is so…Goldie Hawn plus some. She steals the show and you’ll get a kick out of her antics and his frayed nerves. So, during this Redbox movie drought, find yourself a copy of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and enjoy yourself a good Chick-Flick (for him and her) this weekend!
