The Prison Relocation Process Drags On According to Mayor Pengra of Eagle Mountain he was recently made aware of a document which was posted on the Prison Relocation Commission (PRC) website on Friday March 27th. The document is titled, “Utah State Prison Siting Program Site Screening Assessment Report – Round 2.” It identifies, scores and ranks the sites under consideration for the prison as a result of the “second round” of solicitations by the PRC. Unfortunately, this document is somewhat confusing because it has included some sites that were re-scored from Round 1, while omitting others, states the Mayor on his blog http://mayorsvoice.com. According to his latest post there is confusion in the reports. A report was prepared for the governor and legislature and dated February 27th. That document identifies the potential sites as follows: I-80 / 7200 West, SR 112/ Depot Boundary, Lake Mountains West (Eagle Mountain site), Cedar Valley South (Fairfield site), SR 138 Industrial Park. Mayor Pengra states he is concerned because, “Scoring is flawed and I am going to contest the manner in which the sites have been scored. Two, is because a more

in-depth analysis will need to be completed to more accurately identify some of the more technical characteristics of each site.” He goes on to say, “By simply reducing the number of potential points from one category and redistributing those potential points to another category, the results may become drastically skewed. A site that may have been rated highly in one category and lower in another can move up or down the overall ranking when potential points are redistributed. We see the effect of this in the comparison of the 1-80/7200 West, and the Cedar Valley South Site’s original scores against their new scores. The Cedar Valley South site has a 25% increase in total score (from 61 points to 76 points), while the 1-80/7200 South site total score decreases by 2% (76 points to 75 points). The redistributed potential points essentially rearrange the weighting of the categories.”

The mayor concludes with, “At the end of the day, I know that if the prison relocates to the Cedar Valley South site, it will have a significant and detrimental impact on Eagle Mountain’s traffic. We already struggle with meeting the traffic needs of our rapidly growing population. While my role dictates that I care for the needs of the residents of Eagle Mountain, our neighbors in Fairfield are no less important. We will stand shoulder to shoulder with Fairfield and oppose this very frustrating process for their wellbeing, as well as our own. I am disappointed with the way HB 454 was passed during the legislative session. I do not believe it is appropriate to incorporate an increased taxing authority into a prison bill. Taxing authority and the prison move are two separate policy considerations and should be

addressed individually. Neither should such heavy decisions be introduced without discussion and then passed in the waning hours of the session. We, as elected representatives, have been given a very special stewardship and this action is a betrayal of the conservative principles which I know so many of us espouse. To speak for myself, HB 454 was a betrayal at least of my principles. I am disappointed. I hope and pray that my disappointment would not extend to a scoring process which abandons truly objective analysis in order to accomplish a specific result.” For the mayor’s full evaluation and details about the prison location process you can go to http://mayorsvoice.com or watch for updates on The Eagle Mountain, Utah - City Hall on Facebook.

Moab Under Fire By Matthew Gary Milam

Like many other places in Utah, Moab is not only a favorite destination of Utahns, but it’s also world famous. But unlike the winter destinations, such as Park City and the other major ski resorts, Moab has been lined up in the scopes of environmentalists for some time. Recently, a public meeting was held in Grand County to discuss the Public Lands Initiative that is proposing the closure of nearly 100 trails throughout this beloved, red-rock, southern Utah recreational area. Perhaps it has something to do with the world-famous aspect of it that has made it such a target for outside environmentalist groups. After all, a world stage is hard to pass up to make your message known. The environmentalists are not necessarily large in number, but they have a loud voice and are most likely well-connected nationally. Opponents of the closures, recreationists—“Jeepers”—and families who have made a tradition of spending family vacations in Moab are not happy about the situation. “Jeepers,” such as Taras Lojik and his family, have long enjoyed Moab and are saddened at what is being proposed by environmentalists dead set on stopping all motorized off-road vehicles from access to Moab and it’s series of trails— specifically, 100 miles of them, at present. The current claim of these environmentalists is that the destruction of land is harmful to the point of even effecting global warming. And never mind that much of the population does not concur with the legitimacy of global warming, some say it is a concern born of computer models alone and not actual evidence. Nevertheless, as Taras Lojik pointed out, “Most jeepers and other off-roaders that I have seen have put in a lot of work cleaning up the trails and the area.” Taras and his family have been coming down to Moab every year for the Jeep Safari which takes place every year around early April. “Most of the people who come down for Jeep Safari are very responsible and take care of the area,” say Lojik. Lojik also says that this year the group pushing the trail closures tried to schedule an early meeting, but that this might just backfire on them, because as it turns out, the meeting will occur right during the heart of the Jeep Safari. It has been reported that 40% of Moab’s economy is from off-roaders who come to enjoy the recreational and beauty of Moab. It would

appear that the threat of trail closure is a direct threat to the livelihood of Moab because of the potential loss of many jobs. Perhaps that is the goal of these environmental groups. They would seem to be connected to the other environmental groups who have brought about close governmental regulation of oil and gas in Utah. The question is, do these environmental groups really help anything? Are they really trying to protect the land? And how far up the ladder do their connections go? Speaking of that, here’s an interesting question. How much does Park City come under attack over environmental issues? If Moab held a yearly, world-famous film festival that attracted all of Hollywood, would the environmentalists back off? Maybe Moab’s lack of Hollywood left-wing visitors is what puts it in harm’s way for an environmentalist free-for-all. After all, there’s nothing like a Hollywood actor with a cause. Lojik says, “These groups have been working on closing down recreational enjoyment of Moab for the past ten years. It’s a slow process, and it’s not just Moab they are gunning for.” Lojik himself volunteers to do trail and area cleanups in Moab, during the course of which he has noticed that many of the protesters seem to be coming from outside the state. This would seem to indicate a lack of true interest in protecting the natural beauty of Moab, and more of an interest in bringing environmentalist causes onto a national stage and into the spotlight. When this happens, those who have never been to Moab and know nothing about it can be easily swayed to believe that a problem really exists when there may actually be no problem. This is not to excuse actual vandalizing and destruction, such as that occurring with Utah monuments not far from Moab. No responsible person really wants to destroy the natural beauty of Utah. But there is a point at which those opponents of Moab’s recreational trails must be defended against. People engaged in wholesome, harmless, fun should take priority over senseless environmental causes. Especially when those who come to protest come from mostly outside Utah to influence more governmental regulation over Utah natural resources. I personally love the beauty of Utah and this country, but people and freedom are what really matter.

Around the world - ISIS terrorist organization by the United Nations. By: Alec Medina

If you’ve been watching the news lately you’ve probably heard about ISIS. ISIS, also known as The Islamic State, is a group of radical Islamists operating mostly out of Syria and different areas in the Middle East. For the past 8 months, ISIS’s influence has spread to over a dozen countries and recruited many foreigners to fight for their cause. There has been a lot of controversy over President Obama’s request for authorization to fight ISIS. Reports say that there have been over 180 Americans that have traveled to Syria to fight alongside ISIS forces. The youngest, so far, is 15 years old. The FBI has issued several warnings to teens and adults alike to be aware of the propaganda that is out there, especially online. Most reports have been linked to social media and other online sources. ISIS has been branded a

ISIS has been performing, what is known as “ethnic cleansing,” on a historic level. Over 60 countries have waged direct and indirect war on ISIS. There is a lot of tension in the United States about whether or not American forces should be directly involved in fighting ISIS. America is leading many airstrikes against ISIS killing over 6,000 ISIS fighters, but that is not stopping the consistent flow of thousands of militants being recruited every month. Since America is limited to airstrikes, many people have risen up and taken the fight to ISIS, such as the Kurdish Peshmerga and Iranian backed Shi’ite militants. By the look of recent events the battle against ISIS is not slowing down. Many countries are fighting ISIS at home as well, as in Syria, now more than ever.

rodeo has been a tradition in the community and a part of family summer fun. It began in 1941 when the mayor and city council wanted to organize something fun in the community under the shadow of the looming World War. The rodeo and roundup were meant to look back to the pioneer heritage of Lehi and the rest of the state. Some of the rodeo acts, such as the clowns and the wild horses act are similar from year to year, but each year brings in special guests. This year, the rodeo is welcoming the OneArmed Bandit, a one-armed rodeo trick performer, and the Flying Cowboyz Motorcycle act. While attending the rodeo, don’t miss the rodeo hamburgers with their unique special sauce. Another highlight is the miniature parade floats made by local volunteers. You can learn more about the rodeo and purchase tickets online at . http://www.lehirodeo.com/history

This hidden enclave replicates almost every element of the garden described in Frances Hodgson Burnett’s classic novel of the same name. Guests will see exotic favorites, such as Empress of India nasturtium, moonflower, jasmine and species gladiolus. Waterfall Amphitheatre With nine separate cascades, the Waterfall Amphitheatre is 65 feet high and 300 feet wide, making it the largest man-made waterfall in the Western Hemisphere. Interlaced throughout the cascades of the waterfall are a variety of pines, sumac and aspen trees, creating an illusion of walking through the mountains of the Wasatch Front. Fragrance Garden The Fragrance Garden features a gazebo with surrounding scented geraniums in raised beds specifically selected to awaken the sense of smell. Popular ones include Orange Fizz and Chocolate Cosmos, which smell like what they are named. Other geraniums in the garden smell like carrot, black pepper, gooseberry and peach. Monet Pond Claude Monet’s masterpiece of his water garden provided the inspiration for the Monet pond design. A replica of Monet’s bridge is a graceful gateway in this picture-perfect garden, lush with water lilies, iris, peonies and lotus. The Monet pond is also home to a school of brightly colored koi that guests are welcomed to feed.

Thanksgiving Point Gardens are located at 3900 N. Garden Dr. in Lehi.

Vivint

By Michael D Young

If you ever wondered what happened to APX security systems, they do business these days under the name Vivint. The name comes from the Latin word for “to live” (vive), combined with “int” for “intelligent”, so that together it has the meaning of “living intelligently”. It has been known by this name since 2011, and with the name change, it has expanded its business operations from simply selling home security systems to things such providing home automation services, and so-called “smart home”

By Matthew Gary Milam

Whether a cat person or a dog person, everyone loves a puppy. And when we get a hold of these sweet little creatures, we don’t always think about where they came from, or in what circumstances they were born and bred. The Puppy Barn in American Fork, which opened this past November of 2014, has a lot to say about this subject. Owners Matthew Milligan and David Warner had never been much satisfied with many of the ways puppies were bred and sold to pet stores and to the public. As well, they had always hated going to pet stores and seeing the animals “cooped up behind the glass in those little boxes.” Co-owner Matthew Milligan says that the Puppy Barn is all about the concept that “puppies complete families.” That is why he and his partner developed the concept that brought about this unique business they named the Puppy Barn. As Milligan explains, a person can get their puppy from one of two sources. The first is one of which many of us would agree is not ideal, and that is from puppy mills and brokers who supply mass-bred puppies to pet stores at volume prices. Unfortunately, it seems that the bottom line on these puppy brokers is purely financial. The animals are said to be raised under deplorable conditions, beginning their innocent, young lives in miserable circumstances. Although once into the arms of a young child or older dog owner, where their lives will most likely improve immeasurably, it’s sad to think about your family dog having started life in such a non-nurturing way. The other way to get a dog, as Milligan points out, is through an obviously far more desirable avenue than a puppy broker. Dog rescue agencies pull dogs (and sometimes puppies) from abusive environments where they often suffer emotional and physical abuse at the hands of uncaring owners. Milligan says that although these are admirable places from which to get a dog, the Puppy Barn is also a caring and responsible resource that offers dog-loving families a great way to adopt that canine member of the family. The Puppy Barn’s unique concept involves getting puppies from home-raised breeders. Milligan and his partner, Warner, wanted the Puppy Barn to be “a place local families would be proud to get their puppies from.” Those who choose to get their family dog from the Puppy Barn can be assured that their puppy was born and bred by other dog-owner famisolutions, which allow you to control many home functions through mobile devices such as cell phones. In 2011, Vivint launched a second standalone company called Vivint Solar, which works with homeowners and businesses to integrate solar panels into their homes and businesses as a solution to their power needs. It currently operates in six states, including New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, Hawaii, and California. The customers themselves do not pay for installation, but are required to

lies who not only love their mother-dogs, but who also care for the puppies and give them a happy environment in which to start their lives. Puppies at the Puppy Barn live in a positive, nurturing environment while they await their adoption to that special family. Patrons of the Puppy Barn can interact with the puppies in an open and convenient way, with plenty of rules in place that protect the puppies, along with dog-loving, caring employees who support the process of matching up just the right dog with just the right family. A puppy from the Puppy Barn comes with a free examination. Dr. Caroline McGuire of Animal Medical Services in Orem is highly supportive of the Puppy Barn concept and is happy to be involved with the business. McGuire herself participates in the business by supplying puppies she has raised from her own pets for the past several years. Critics of the Puppy Barn claim that people should only buy their dogs from rescue centers. Mulligan compares these critics and their reasoning to people who say, “Why have your own children when you can adopt one that is already born?” Mulligan and Warner claim that the Puppy Barn is a very unique concept that provides families with a legitimate way to get a puppy. And when considering one of the alternative sources such as a an outlet that is supplied by a puppy mill, where it is claimed that many puppies end up not sold and dead because of the deplorable circumstance in which they exist, the Puppy Barn would seem to be a great option for those looking for a family pet. The Crossroads spoke with co-owner Matthew Milligan of the Puppy Barn. Milligan was himself “born and bred” in the South, in Tennessee and Missouri, later residing in Colorado for seven years, and has now lived in Utah for the past ten years with his wife, and their son, who is 18 months old. They will soon be adding a toddler boy and toddler girl to their family through an adoption that will be taking place soon. Before the Puppy Barn, Milligan worked as a Director of Training for a Salt Lake restaurant management company. Milligan handles the marketing and brand aspects of the business, while his partner, David Warner, handles the operations aspect of the business. The Puppy Barn is located at 364 E. State Street, right next to Gandolfo’s sandwich shop, an advertising partner with the Puppy Barn. purchase the electricity generated from the solar panels, which is often much less expensive than the public power grid. Vivint Solar is currently constructing a new headquarters in Lehi near Thanksgiving Point, for which ground was broken in February. Vivint currently serves more than 850,000 customers in the United States and Canada. It started in 1999 as APX Alarm and now employees more than 7,000 people. In 2012, the Blackstone Group acquired Vivint for over $2 billion and has since experienced constant growth. To learn more about Vivint, visit them online at www.vivint.com.

How is the Current Real Estate Market? Saratoga & Eagle Mountain Current Real Estate StatisticsAs you can see, the market in our neighAs a real estate agent the question I get most often is, “How is the market doing?” so I figured now, since the 1st quarter of 2015, is over I would give you a report: 516 homes were listed, 282 homes were sold and the median sales price was $239,000. Active home listings are down 34% from March 2014, however in March 2015, homes under contract are up 57%. In March 2014, the average price per square foot was $84 and in March 2015 was up to $88. Median sales price was $235,000 and up to $254,500 in March 2015. Current days on market in March 2014 was 66 and in March 2015 was down to 35. Active listings in first quarter of 2015 is 179 homes. Lowest price home is at $143,800, highest listing is at $1,299,000. Median price for a home is $289,900, Average price is $309,000. Median days on market is 35.

borhoods are strong and driving prices up. Homes priced correctly are selling very quickly, so if you are shopping homes, be prepared to act quickly, or the home you just fell in love with will slip through your fingers. As for those selling homes, this too is great news and does give you a slight advantage due to a shortage of inventory, however, in my experience, buyers are being very smart with their money making sure not to overpay for their home or buying a home that will make them house poor. Please call me with any questions you have on anything regarding real estate. I will give away a gift card to the person whose question I answer in a future article.

It’s That Time of Year Year-End Tax Strategies

HOA - Do We Need Init? the current set up, there are two HOAs for By Michael D Young

The Ranches Homeowner’s Association covers not only one community in Eagle Mountain, but an entire section of Eagle Mountain that is close to Saratoga Springs, which encompasses about 40 different subdivisions. Homeowners in this area pay monthly dues to the HOA, which, according to the HOA website, go to “fund the operation of the HOA, maintain the landscaping, and to improvement projects like the Bike Park.” These dues are in addition to any that are charged by the individual communities within the Ranches. The Ranches HOA also puts out guidelines for landscaping, fencing, and mailbox design. These guidelines are all available on their website, and new landscaping projects must be approved by the HOA, a process which can be done on their website at www.rancheshoa.com. It also holds friendly neighborhood competitions, such as “Yard of the Month”. There are some residents of the Ranches that would rather see this HOA done away with.

most communities: the community specific HOA and the Ranches Master HOA. Each homeowner is required to pay dues not only to the community, but also to the master HOA, which increases the amount due monthly for the cost of homeownership. Currently, there some residents that are taking legal action to try to separate their communities from the Ranches HOA and are also seeking to recover the dues paid by the people in their communities because they feel that their communities do not benefit enough from being part of the master HOA. This suit is still pending and it will likely be some time before anything is decided. There are many hiking trails and other landscaped areas in the community, including the golf course, and one way or another, these do need to be taken care of. This is a question that will go on as these communities continue to expand well into the future.

I am often asked what can be done at the end of the year to lessen the tax burden many will be faced with in the next three months as they prepare for filing their taxes. Most suggestions are things that may help pull deductible items for next year into this year, thereby reaping the benefits of a donation, business expense or mortgage interest payment sooner by adjusting the recognition timing. This may aid in immediate cash flow, but at the expense of next year’s cash flow. The long-term net effect is zero. To me this is not a strategy. There are numerous real strategies that will lower net taxes over a period of time that can be used in individual cases. Let me share one that may prove beneficial to some. Many of us understand how pushing medical expenses into one year can help reach the insurance deductible early in the year - lump all of the kids’ wisdom teeth extraction, lasik surgery and braces in one year, and once the deductible is met the insurance bears more of the cost of medical expenses. The same theory can be used in tax. The standard deduction in 2014 for a married couple is $12,400. If you have deductible items that exceed that standard, you are able to take the larger amount by itemizing. By stacking discretionary items in one year, a taxpayer can take advantage of a high itemization, and then take the standard

deduction the next year. This type of timing strategy will result in lower taxes over the 2 years. For example: You usually itemize and claim $17,000 in deductions, where $9,000 are time controllable deductions (such as charitable contributions, medical expenses, and state income taxes paid). Many don’t know that Utah state personal income taxes can be paid on April 15th of the next year without any underpayment penalty. By doubling-up the time controllable deductions so you pay $18,000 ($9,000 + $9,000) one year and $0 the next year, the first year you will claim $26,000 ($17,000 + $9,000 extra) and then take the standard $12,400 in the next year. You would have legally deducted $38,400 over two years instead of $34,000 ($17,000 + $17,000). $4,400 in a 15% tax bracket is $660. There are many other tax strategies that can be used in unique situations. Transactions can be constructed to comply with tax law and still result in lower overall taxes. Before applying tax strategies, make sure you consult with a tax professional to make sure you are applying tax law appropriately.

SARATOGA SPRINGS POLICE BLOTTER By Matt Schauerhammer

A Dip and a Drink 3/2/2015 – Officers responded to a report of two people who left the hot springs at Inlet Park. The reporting person was very worried because he saw the couple consuming copious amounts of alcohol in the hot springs. When they left, he followed them because they were so intoxicated. They didn’t have a designated driver and left the hot springs. The vehicle eventually pulled over on 400 South. When officers arrived, the driver and passenger were arguing. The 27 year old driver, Reuel Gabriel, was contacted and performed field sobriety tests. He was placed under arrest after failing field sobriety tests. Reuel provided a breath test at the police department. It yielded a BrAC of .161 – two times over the legal limit. Drunk Driver Chauffeuring Children 3/5/2015 – Officer responded to a report of a vehicle unable to maintain a single lane of travel. The vehicle was occupied by an adult and two children. The driver, 32 year old Darren Przybyla, had obviously been consuming alcohol. He submitted to field sobriety tests and was subsequently placed under arrest after failing them. A breath test performed by Darren at the police department yielded a BrAC of .251 – more than three times over the legal limit. He was booked into Utah County Jail for his charges. Vitriol and Violence

The Crossroads Journal 3/10/2015 – Officers responded to a report of an assault. A cell phone video of an assault showed an 18 year old male, Osbaldo Mocino, repeatedly threatening a 17 year old male. Osbaldo had showed up at the juvenile’s home, unsolicited, because he thought the juvenile said disparaging things about him. The juvenile refused to fight Osbaldo. Osbaldo, who had brought other people with him, violently assaulted the 17 year old outside his home while the victim refused to fight back. Osbaldo punched the juvenile approximately 20-25 times causing significant injuries to him. Osbaldo was later arrested at his home in Eagle Mountain and admitted to committing the assault. He was booked into Utah County Jail for his charges. Drugs and Drunk 3/25/2015 – An officer pulled a vehicle over leaving the Israel Canyon area. The driver, 21 year old Austin Miller, had been drinking. He performed field sobriety tests and was placed under arrest. He was also in possession of drug paraphernalia and marijuana. He refused to provide a breath sample at the police department. A warrant was obtained for a blood draw. A forensic nurse responded to the police department and drew Austin’s blood. The blood was sent to the Utah State Crime Lab for analysis for drugs and alcohol levels. For the second time this year, Austin Miller was found in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia in Saratoga Springs. Hide the Stuff 3/31/2015 – A person reported seeing people using drugs while sitting in a car at Walmart’s parking lot. The vehicle was located and pulled over at Kneaders in Saratoga Springs. Three people with extensive drug histories for methamphetamine and heroin abuse were located in the car. The suspects, Brittney Hintze, Brandon Sumsion, and Jeremy Zeeman, appeared to be under the influence of controlled substances. A search of the vehicle yielded drug paraphernalia that the suspects concealed in a jug of vehicle coolant. Pipes used for smoking methamphetamine were also located in the vehicle. Blood draws were conducted on the suspects and they were booked in Utah County Jail for their charges.

Eagle Mountain City Advisory Board By Erika Douglas

Eagle Mountain City has a new advisory board that is excited to be serving their community. The Military and Veteran’s Advisory Board (MVB) was created this past year, to work with and advise the City Council on issues that involve military members and veterans from each branch of the military, as well as their families. They have been focusing on meeting once a month to ensure that the city remains aware of existing and emerging issues that impact the military and veteran families in our community. The public is welcome to attend meetings, held the fourth Wednesday of the month at City Hall at 6:30pm. Members of the MVB currently include veterans of recent and past conflicts, spouses of military members, and community volunteers. Issues they address include, community programs designed to enhance wellbeing, educational opportunities, and consumer protection

for military members, veterans, and their families. They presented an amendment for the utility abatement program to the city council, replacing the old program with one that will benefit our city, while continuing to show support to troops deployed from their homes. The MVB is working with the Cemetery Board on a military memorial to go in the cemetery, and other exciting projects. The current Board incorporated the city’s Yellow Ribbon committee, and continues that work providing welcome home processions for military members returning from deployment. They are very thankful for the community members and school children that greet returning warriors to show our community’s love and support. If family members are interested in having a procession, they should contact Linda Peterson at 801-358-1175.

The Green Thumb Landscaping with Design in Mind By Jennifer Klingonsmith

It’s the time of year when warm weather lures many of us (myself included) to home improvement stores and nurseries to peruse the many green and growing things. We find it hard to resist a pretty face, and eagerly snap up a flowering shrub here, a stunning perennial there, often without even thinking of where we would plant it. Over time, this impulsive shopping can lead to a yard that looks haphazard at best and rather dead at worst (as much of what is sold is not suited for our clay soil, salty secondary water and relentless winds). If your yard consists of bare dirt, or if you find yourself with a haphazard yard, use the following five principles of landscape design to create a plan that will give you a balanced, beautiful yard. Determine functionality. Think about how you want to use your yard. Do you need large areas for children to play? Do you want garden space? Do you have plans for a patio or other hardscape features? Plan these areas in advance and you will avoid having to tear out landscaping later on. Note areas of sun and shade. This important step is often overlooked when planning a yard. Determining sun/shade areas will not only help you decide what plants will grow but also where you might want to place trees for needed shade. Desired maintenance level. Do you enjoy yard work or despise it? This question should be answered honestly and be an integral part of your plan. Perennial flowers may look pretty in the nursery, but if you don’t invest the time to deadhead regularly and occasionally divide

them, they will end up looking weedy and unattractive. As a lower maintenance option, plant a few pots of annuals for color instead. Landscaping style. Do you like formal gardens or a more relaxed, natural look? The type of plant material you select as well as how it is arranged will be determined by your personal preference. Balance size, shape, and texture. Balance can be symmetrical or asymmetrical. Symmetrical is where plant material mirrors itself from side to side. Asymmetrical balance is achieved by using different elements to create an informal equilibrium. For example, using a group of small shrubs to counterbalance a large tree on the opposite side. In a mixed border, small round shrubs can be balanced with some taller ornamental grasses, and some broad-leafed material can be accented with a few fine-leafed perennials. Keeping these principles in mind will help you create a usable outdoor space where form and function come together to create a beautiful yard to be enjoyed for years to come.

Highland City Council Meeting By Michael D Young

The most recent Highland City Council meeting was held on March 17th, 2015 at the Highland City Council Chambers and was presided over by Mayor Mark Thompson. The following issues were raised during the meeting: The chairman of the Arts Council addressed the City Council about purchasing a new Kawai concert piano for the Arts Center. The Arts Council has been working to secure donations and has reached their funding goal. The old piano would be exchanged for credit toward buying the new piano, which is approximately 10 years old, but in excellent condition. The library tax was discussed, which is about 2 percent of the city budget, which is dedicated to the library and allows it to operate smoothly, and allows residents free access to thousands of online books. Some were in favor of abolishing the tax altogether and using the money toward other city projects, while others proposed that the tax be reduced by as much as one half.

A motion was brought up to authorize the road reconstruction of 10150 North and Stevens Lane. These projects would be able to be completed within the city’s construction budget. The council approved the motion to authorize the staff to allow bids on the reconstruction project. A motion also carried that amends the city’s Site Plan Review Fee. The council discussed the need for a new park maintenance building, which could be constructed for approximately $275,000. The building would be a steel frame building with a fence around it that could be added onto later as the need arises. The council also discussed a proposal by the Alpine School District. The district wishes to incorporate an area of city-owned land to expand the current parking lot at Lone Peak High School. This property lies to the west of the baseball and football fields and to the west of the seminary building, and is between 6-7 acres. Once paved, the area would accommodate between 100 and 183 new parking spaces.

Camp Floyd State Park An Historical Place for Young and Old Alike By Erika Douglas

Cedar Valley is lucky enough to have a state park right in it’s backyard. Camp Floyd State Park is a living history park, located in Fairfield, which provides the family with an interactive historical experience. Some interesting upcoming activities are the Scout and Day Camps. For Cub Scouts, specifically Bears, there is a program designed to complete Achievement 8: The Past is Exciting and Important. The Boy Scout program is tailored to meet the requirements for the American Heritage Merit Badge and National Historic Trails Award. Boys learn the history of the camp and participate in historic activities. Some of the camps are already full. Registration is available online at campfloyd.utah.gov. Camp Floyd History Day Camp is a fabulous way for children to have a fun unique experience during the summer. Participants

learn many activities that would be part of a soldier’s daily life, both the work and the fun. Camp runs Tuesday through Thursday, culminating in a mock battle and parents are invited to view the last day of camp. Children who participate in this camp come away with a better appreciation of history. While the activities listed above are aimed specifically at youth, the park has several activities throughout the year for families and those still young at heart. The Civil War Days celebration over Memorial Day weekend will be enjoyable for those that love history and those that just want to have a good time somewhere close to home. Check out the website: campfloyd.utah.gov for more info on great programs and maybe plan a day filled with historical undertakings.

Autism Understanding the Spectrum By Kimberly Bennett

Autism. It’s a word we seem to hear more frequently every day. What does being autistic mean? Where does autism come from? The truth is, autism isn’t yet completely understood, but there is much that we do know, and much that we can learn. Autism is part of a larger range of disorders that fall under that blanket of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). These neurodevel-

opment disorders vary in severity, from the comparatively mild form known as Asperger syndrome, to the most severe, Autistic disorder, or simply, autism, and several disorders in between. Wherever an individual falls on the spectrum, the basic characteristics of any ASD involve common challenges. For example, issues with socialization, such as having a hard time

predicting or understanding people’s emotions, or focusing on narrow topics of conversation without regard to the listener’s interest. They may also experience compulsive behaviors, restrictive and repetitive movements, and difficulties communicating. Though research is ongoing, the causes of autism are still unknown. Parenting style does not lead to autism as once was thought. It has also been proven again and again that vaccinations do not cause autism. There is some evidence to suggest that genetics may play a small role, but not every ASD is caused by genetic mutations. Other explanations involve environmental factors, specifically prenatal development. Environmental factors coupled with a genetic predisposition towards ASD seem the most likely explanation. Statistics indicate that 1 in 88 children will fall somewhere on the ASD spectrum, with boys being 4 times more likely to have one of these disorders than girls. So what does all this mean? It can sound a little frightening, or intimidating. But for those who have a loved one on the spectrum, or are on the spectrum themselves, they will tell you that there is so much more to it than these facts and figures. Though those with autism may have severe learning disabilities and need life-long assistance, there are many individuals with an ASD who are successful and uniquely brilliant. Many adults are finding out only now that they fall somewhere on the spectrum. Having an ASD does not mean you are stuck. But that doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. Because of the nature of ASDs, it is a lifelong road that may become very difficult. The truth is, this is a sensitive topic. Any disorder is accompa-

nied by a certain stigma and fear. Autism isn’t something that you can just see. You can’t look at a child and realize that the reason they are unresponsive is not because they are being disrespectful, but because they are autistic. Every day one reads stories on the internet about a mother’s internal debate of whether or not she should explain to a stranger that her child is behaving a certain way because of a disorder. Because who wants someone they love to be labeled? Fortunately, we live in a time where we don’t need to handle these things alone. We can find information on autism through organizations like the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. On their website, you can discover the basic facts about autism and find a list of organizations dedicated to researching and understanding ASDs. Autism Speaks seeks to educate, as well as reach out to and help those dealing with life on or near the spectrum. And fortunately there are places to turn nearby. Utah Behavior Services is available to help provide behavior and mental health to those with ASD and their families. Autism is a reality that many face every day. There may be much that we don’t understand about autism, but that doesn’t mean we that have to live without understanding. When it comes to autism, reaching out to those dealing with it is the greatest thing we can learn. For more information call (801) 255-5131 or visit utahbehaviorservices.com www.autism-society.org

Coach Spotlight: This season and next...

A/7

By: Alec Medina

Name: Coach Carling (Westlake Varsity Boys Basketball head coach) Thoughts on last season: “We had a successful season and we competed at a very high level. We play in the best region in the state with many good teams night in, night out. We were in every single game. In fact we had leads late in the game in almost every game we played. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to win enough of those. We fell short. We had a few very good wins. The last game of the season we beat American Fork who is in the top 5 teams in the state. We had a step in the right direction. We finished off the season with 10 wins which is the most any Westlake basketball team has had. Were moving in the right direction.” Looking forward to next season: “Next year we return many players that were contributors to this year’s varsity team. We bring back 2 starters, Asa Mccord and Mason Faucet. They’re both the 2 leading scorers so we’ll bring them back and that’ll give us a good place to build from. We bring back a really good group of kids to start the season and head in the right direction.” Biggest challenges for the 2015 season: “The biggest challenge for next year will be to find a way to win those close games. We’ve shown we’re as good as anyone talent-wise, but we need to be able to make those plays when the game is on the line and that’s on me as a coach, and also on the players to step up.”

Learning to Climb Higher By Kimberly Bennett

If you’re looking to develop a new skill, or just to expand your horizons, Momentum Indoor Climbing might be the place for you. In December 2014, Momentum Indoor opened their Lehi location. Unlike the other Momentum facilities, Lehi’s location focuses on bouldering, a climbing style that doesn’t use ropes. Instead, climbers scale 16 foot walls without harnesses. Padded mats below serve as their only safety. A safety both experienced and inexperienced climbers are happy to have. Momentum’s classes and one-on-one training help new climbers gain the skills they need to enjoy the sport, and their extensive facilities and programs are designed to help experienced climbers become more proficient. Momentum sponsors a program called Momentum Athlete, a strength resistance training program similar to CrossFit for climbers. “It’s a great place to get a great workout as opposed to a normal gym,” says Lindsay Bull, a climber. “It’s really fun.”

Momentum’s goal is to “get people that want to try out the sport some instructions,” says Devin Ashby, general manager of the Lehi location. Ashby stresses the point that no matter your level or experience, they want all to feel welcome to come learn and improve in this unique and social sport. “It’s kid-friendly enough, it gives me a daddy hall-pass anytime I want,” says patron Joe Atkin, as his eight and three-year-old sons scale the top out boulder, the largest of its kind in Utah. He says it’s a great place to spend time as a family. In fact, until his family started climbing, he had never tried it. “Anybody can put on some shoes, grab some holds and climb the wall,” says Ashby. “You don’t have to be an expert to have a good time.” Looking at the climbers there, you can tell it’s true. For information, visit www.momentumclimbing.com

The residents of the Point Lookout Development in the Ranches of Eagle Mountain have been working with Brianna Binnnebose, Wildland Urban Interface Coordinator for the State of Utah Dept. of Natural Resources, and Riley Pilgrim, Captain - Camp Williams FMD, of the Unified Fire Authority to clean up the hillside behind the homes in the Point Lookout area in order to reduce the fire danger to the homes and the surrounding areas. Many piles of dead junipers were left years ago as the area was developed and from a utility easement and drainage ditch, which had been dug on the hillside above the homes. Also, debris and trash has been left in the area over the years. There were two major goals in mind for the cleanup, that of removing the piles of dead junipers and trash, and to trim the live junipers up off the ground to help minimize the fire danger. This effort has been coordinated with the State of Utah Dept. of Natural Resources, the Fire Dept. and the residents of the development by Fred Peeples of Eagle Mountain. Mr Peeples worked for the Fire Dept. in Southern California prior to retiring and moving to Eagle Mountain, and has witnessed first hand the

He saw a need to take action against possible wildfires in our area and has taken the steps necessary to minimize the destruction from a possible wildfire in our community. The boy scouts of the Cedar Pass LDS 3rd ward of the Eagle Mountain Stake heard about the project and volunteered to help with the clean up. The project took place on April 1st and 2nd. The scout leaders who helped organize the scouts in their efforts were Gary Anderson, Heath Harper and Craig Hassel. J. R. Butler, a resident of the Point Lookout Subdivision arranged for dumpster service which was donated by John and Pam of the Salt Lake West franchise of Bintheredumpthat. John and Pam not only provided dumpster service at no charge, but also absorbed the cost of the fees for disposing of the debris at the landfill. We the residents, are so appreciative of John and Pam for all they did to help make this possible. Being able to help with a scout project such as this meant a great deal to them. Much remains to be done, but thanks to the efforts of the scouts a great portion of it has now been taken care of.

Remodeling Projects: Evaluating Cost vs. Value

By Jacinda Montano

Home renovations can be tricky. You want to improve your space (and the way you live in it). But you don’t want to end up in the red when it comes time to sell. Before you splurge on that chef ’s kitchen or a steam shower in your bath, make sure your projects enhance your home in the eyes of future buyers as well. Here are few improvements that Remodeling magazine says will return the most on your renovation dollars. (The examples below reflect 2014 numbers.)

Under $5,000: Functional, secure and energy-efficient entries are chief priorities in this price range. Your best bet is replacing your front door with a sturdy steel unit. Finish it with an antique brass lockset, and you can expect to recoup 96.6 percent of your investment. A garage door replacement offers an equally respectable 82.9 percent return. Between $5,000 and $25,000: A wooden deck is tops for a midrange budget, recouping 87.4 percent of the $10,000 you can expect

The Crossroads Journal

to spend. A minor kitchen remodel also fares well: Budgeting $18,000 for fresh paint, a new oven, new floors, fixtures, countertops and new doors on existing cabinetry typically results in recouping 82.7 percent at resale. From $25,000 and $100,000: An attic bedroom is a romantic notion, and it offers the best return at this price range. Converting the space into a bedroom and bathroom (with shower) will get you back 84.3 percent of your spend. Likewise, a newly finished basement returns 77.6 percent. Have other plans in mind? Read Remodeling’s summary on cost vs. value trends, and jump into your home improvement projects more informed.
