Community Rallies to Keep “Doll House” Haunting the Ranches t was always Clint Martin’s dream to open the “biggest and best” haunted house in Utah. At the young age of 4, Clint used to help his dad work on the former Provo haunt attraction, the Haunted Castle. By age 6, Clint was actually performing in the attraction, dressing up and scaring people. After years of telling his wife, Ashley, about his dreams to create an “incredible haunted house,” Clint finally took her advice to stop talking about his dream, stop making excuses, and “just start it.” Last year, that is exactly what he did. Having grown weary of all the zombie-witch-werewolf themes that seemed commonplace in other Utah haunt attractions, Clint decided to create a completely original attraction and theme--and the Doll House Haunt was born…on a vacant corner in the business area of the Ranches in Eagle Mountain. The Doll House Haunt is based on a very interesting concept conceived by Clint and Ashley Martin: “Growing up, I never enjoyed dolls much because they scared me,” says Clint. “They looked real. This gave us the idea that perhaps our toys are really alive, and we created the Doll House Haunt from this idea, but it gets better. What’s a doll house without a “doll keeper?” We created a character that will evolve with the Doll House—a single dad from the Victorian era. As he works on building a doll house for his two young daughters, they get sick and die. In his grief, he continues to build the doll house and places in it, two dolls. Over time, they begin moving from their places when he’s not watching. Believing it’s his two daughter’s spirits playing with the dolls, he creates more and more dolls and toys to fill their doll house. It becomes an obsession,” Clint says. “But then when he realizes the spirits haunting the doll house are not his daughters, it’s too late. He continues to fill the Doll House to keep what haunts it [in] contempt and himself safe. He starts as the Doll Keeper and be-

comes a puppet in his obsession to keep his daughters close,” Clint concludes. “We started the Doll House Haunt together,” says Ashley. “It’s the hardest and best thing we have done; it’s his dream and it’s coming true--one year at a time,” she adds. Ashley and Clint Martin were high school sweethearts. Ashley moved from Canada when she was just 8 years old. She and Clint have spent the majority of their lives here in Utah, in West Jordan, and moved to this area in 2009. Here in Eagle Mountain, Ashley and Clint started their family. They have a three-year-old boy named Izek, and an 18-month-old girl named Kozette. This year, as though their real lives were haunted, the Doll House Haunt almost didn’t happen. In July, Clint Martin was involved in a tragic car accident, in which he was the only survivor in a car full of people. Despite the delay and almost cancelation of this year’s event, the Doll House Haunt is up and running, thanks to community volunteers who rallied around the Martins to keep the Doll House Haunt going for another year. “It’s been an overwhelming experience, and I hope our Doll House Haunt can be as fun for them as it has been for us,” says Ashley. “This year, the Haunt is bigger and better than ever,” she adds. For this second year of the Doll House Haunt, entry fees are just $7.00, and $1.00 for same-day re-entry. A discount is offered for anyone donating a doll (hopefully one that isn’t haunted!), or a can of food for their community food drive. In addition, students, police, fire fighters, and military with IDs receive $1.00 off admission. Doll House Haunt hours are Monday & Thursday, 7:30-10:00 pm, and Friday & Saturday, 7:30-11:00 pm. Family Fun “no scare” hours are Saturday 12:00-4:00 pm (no “scare-ers” during these hours). During these times, there are games, and prizes are given out, during the Doll House tour. The real life dolls and actors in the Doll House Haunt are boy and girl volunteers aged 15 and older. “We have so much fun each night,” says Ashley. “We’re always open to take in new volunteer actors,” she adds.

Highland gets its own historical society A city as unique as Highland deserves to have its story recorded. That was the thought behind City Councilmember Jessie Schoenfeld;s desire for the city to have its own historical society. For several months Schoenfeld promoted the idea, and in June it became a reality when the Highland Historical Society was formed. “With the incorporation of the city’s 40th anniversary coming up in 2017, I thought it was important to have,” she stated. “I know what good comes from historical societies in cities. They give us some basis, some foundation for cities. Where did they start? How did they begin?” Charlie Greenland was elected president at the society’s first meeting. “I was a little leery at first, but I think I am really enjoying it now,” he said. Greenland shares Schoenfeld’s vision. “Ordinarily, cities in Utah were settled when Brigham Yong sent groups out across the state, but Highland was not built that way. It was brought together by the people who wanted to live here,” he said. “The culture and ideas that brought Highland together are quite unique.” The historical society’s board includes Brenda Thurgood (secretary) , Kelly Johnson (archivist), Ray Buhler, David Larsen, Donna Kitchen and Kent Day, with Schoenfeld as its adviser. City Councilmember Dennis LeBaron is also a liaison to the group. The mission statement of the society is, “To preserve and [share] the past of Highland City for a better present and future.” As their first project, Greenland, Schoenfeld and other historical society

members are working to put together a comprehensive written history of the city. Mayor Mark Thompson is working on something similar. In addition to the written history, the historical society is planning a small museum in the Highland Community Center, 5378 West 10400 North. They’re looking for household items and small tools to help fill it. Schoenfeld says the museum is “ just a beginning.” “We have families who have had their farms here for 100 years. They have quite a few relics they’re willing to let us display. Other people might want to add some things too. We’re hoping we can start something here and help something to grow,” she emphasized. Schoenfeld hopes the historical society can work with the Highland Daughter of the Utah Pioneers museum at 5381 West 10400 South to help tell the story of the city and its beginnings. “We have so many people moving in that don’t have roots here. I feel like when they know about the history of Highland, know how it started, [the museum] gives them a place to come and see it, and Highland feels more like home,” she said. The historical society meets the second Wednesday of each month at Highland City Hall, 5400 West Civic Center Drive, Suite 1 at 7 p.m. The meetings are always open to the public. If you have items you’d like to donate or lend to be displayed at the museum, give Greenland a call at 801913-5200.

Saratoga Springs Annual Police Report Police Chief Andrew Burton presented annual police statistics to the mayor and City Council on September 1, 2015. He also apprised the board of other activities and trainings the police have participated in. The officers have been trained in the following this year: CPR, Legal Update, Domestic Violence, Crime Scene. Special Schools Attended in 2015: Utah Gang Conference, DARE Instructor, Investigations, SWAT, Force Science Institute, Sex Crimes Investigations, ID Theft/White Collar Crimes, K-9/Drug, Field Training Officer, and Sniper. These officers take their training -and our safety- seriously. There was a huge jump in issued citations from 2013 to 2014, sometimes double comparing month to month. In June 2013, there were 149 citations issued, but 324 in June 2014. Citations have leveled since then, with a 13% reduction projected

for 2015. Total arrests are also declining, especially in the summer months. There were 79 in July 2013, 47 in July 2014, and just 45 in that same month of 2015. Arrests are on track to decline by 22% from last year. Interestingly there has been an overall increase in crime from 2014, up 32%particularly in robbery and larceny. It is important to note, however, that our area’s population has increased rapidly over the past few years, so an increase is expected. Police calls important enough to require reports continue to increase, from 6,214 in 2013, to 7,050 in 2014, with a projected 9,024 in 2015. These statistics include crime in Bluffdale, as well as Saratoga Springs. Our police force began patrolling our neighboring city July 1, 2010. The complete police report can be found at saratogaspringscity.com under the Sept. 1, 2015 City Council meeting notes.

Square Doughnuts and More For over 45 years, the Lehi Bakery has been a community institution. It doesn’t need flashy signs and huge advertising campaigns to bring in a steady stream of eager customers. Their signature baked good is the square donut, a glazed confection with a square shape and a square hole. But these are far from the only choice. The selection features some creative and delicious donuts you won’t find in other places, such as the foot doughnut, the coconut crunch, and the alligator jaws. If you are a BYU Cougar fan, you can pick up a bunch of Y-shaped doughnuts for game day. After sampling many of

their wares, the maple bar comes to the forefront as my favorite. The homemade frosting sets it apart from similar bars from other bakeries. In addition to doughnuts, you can pick up a variety of freshly made rolls and breads, cakes, cookies, brownies and more. The only drawback of this wonderful institution is they only make a certain number of doughnuts every day. For the best selection, come early. The bakery is open every morning at 7 am, but it is closed on both Sunday and Monday. If you know you need a large order, it is best to call in advance. The bakery is especially busy on Saturday mornings, when locals flock to the store for their weekend doughnut fix. To learn more, visit them on the web at http://www.lehibakery.com/.

Eagle Mountain City Economic Development There’s a tax if I give my kids City Bus Tour money? Ikani Taumoepeau,Eagle Mountain City’s Economic Development Director, hosted the monthly meeting of the Eagle Mountain Business Forum on a local bus tour around the city. Many residents and business owners attended the event. Taumoepeau provided graphics and timely information on the progress of many businesses located in the Eagle Mountain Area. Among the many locations, plans were discussed for a local credit union being build near the Ridley’s Market area, in addition to the plans for a fueling station and a medical care facility. More growth and townhouses are coming to the Silver Lake area. Additional office buildings are in the works near Maverick. The new regional Questar building, as well as an Ace Rents building, are beginning construction near the gravel pit on the north side of SR 73. In City Center, improvements to the Cory Wride Memorial Park will be forth coming due to the work of city employee’s obtaining matching grants and will include lighting and parking. Negotiations are underway at present with a national fuel and convenience store, as well as a retail medical facility. The Eagle Mountain Business Forum planning board consist of Eric Dow, Brian Bills, Lamont Snarr, Dan Ford, Wendy Lojik, Jared Gray and is assisted by Ikani Taumoepeau. The bus was provided by Rockwell Charter School, also located in the Eagle Mountain area. More information about the Eagle Mountain Business Forum can be found at facebook.com/EagleMountainBusinessForum.

Yes! There is a limitation on how much money you can give away to family and friends. Each person is limited to $14,000 of gifts to any one person per year. If more than $14,000 is given in a year, IRS form 709 is required to be filed. By filing form 709, a 706 is then also required to be filed at the filer’s death by the filer’s estate. This tax rule is to discourage owners of large estates from deathbed gifting to avoid the estate tax, which is 40% of the estate’s net assets over $5,250,000. The provisions do allow paying for medical, educational, and living necessities for another that is not part of the $14,000. For example, Grandpa offers to pay tuition for any grandchild going to an Ivy League college. Tuition can easily exceed $14,000 per year. Grandpa can pay the tuition and it will not count toward the grandchild’s $14,000 per year allowable gifts. CAUTION - Grandpa must make the payment to the college directly, and not reimburse by sending a check to the grandchild. Grandpa can also pay for housing, medical bills and meals, but once again, payments must be

made directly to the providers and not to the grandchild, or collectively be below $14,000 per year. Gifts between spouses have no limit. Gifts can also be split between spouses, which can effectively increase the $14,000 limit. For example, John Sr. can give John Jr. and Jr.’s spouse each $14,000 per year. Likewise, John Sr.’s spouse can also give John Jr. and Jr.’s spouse $14,000. $56,000 ($14,000 x 2 x 2) can be given “married couple to married couple” each year. Interest-free or below market loans may also have gifting issues. For example, Grandpa loans, interest-free to his grandchild, $300,000 to buy a home. If a commercial lender would have charged 5% for the same type of loan, Grandpa is gifting $15,000 per year to the grandchild and would be subject to the gift reporting on form 709. Before gifting, loaning, or making large purchases in combination with others, please consult a professional. Kory Farrer, EA. Owner of Farrer and Associates, LLC - Saratoga Springs, UT

4 Steps to Enhance Your Credit We all know that a high credit score can help streamline life events like buying a house or landing a new job. But do you know how to boost your score? Try these four moves to give it a quick lift. Fix Credit Errors -- Don’t wait for a lender to check your credit before reviewing it yourself. Request a credit report from each of the three major bureaus every year, reviewing the accuracy of your personal info, credit limits and the open or closed status of each account. Dispute any errors immediately. Ask for Forgiveness -- If you have blemishes on your credit, try clearing them up. Negotiate paying an old debt if the creditor will mark your account “paid as agreed.” For a late payment on a longheld account, write the creditor, acknowledge your otherwise good history and ask

for a goodwill adjustment that will wipe it from your credit report. Make Strategic Repayments -- You may not be able to pay off your credit cards quickly, but you can strategically pay them down. Start by dividing each card balance by its limit. Demonstrate restraint to lenders by keeping each card balance below 30 percent. If your card debts are higher, make a plan to pay balances down to reach a more desirable ratio. Increase Your Credit -- Another way to reduce your debt-to-income ratio is to ask for an increased limit. It’s a bit of a numbers game, but if you keep future spending in check, you can end up with a lower ratio. (Experts say this ratio accounts for up to one-third of your credit score.)

Morinda to move all operations to American Fork Morinda is planning to make its American Fork building its new headquarters. The wellness products giant has sold its former headquarters in Provo and plans to consolidate its operations at the American Fork site, with a state-of-the-art lab and bottling facility at its center. “For over a decade, Morinda has operated with two centers of activity in Utah County,” Morinda President John Wadsworth said in a recent YouTube video regarding the move. “We have our beautiful corporate offices in Provo, and our magnificent bottling facility, warehouse and laboratory in American Fork. Our American Fork building is beautiful and highly visible; it is well-known throughout the valley. It has long been our desire to build a campus in American Fork to capitalize on that visibility.” Currently the company has 310 employees in Utah County, split approximately 60/40 percent between the two buildings. “We’re looking to promote more cohesion and synergy with our corporate departments,” Global Public Relations Manager Michal Nash said. Initially the American Fork building at 737 East 1180 South, will house a new call center and additional office space

to facilitate the departments that will be moving over. There are plans to expand the campus by up to two additional buildings in the future. The company has been working with American Fork city officials to get approval for additional parking spaces to accommodate the extra personnel coming over from the Provo building. Morinda plans to purchase some of a small UDOT-owned lot adjacent to its property for the additional stalls. (It may lease additional space from UDOT, if necessary.) The exact timing of the move is unclear at this point. “We don’t anticipate an immediate move,” Nash said. She indicated that the move is likely to commence early next year. Personnel numbers should stay about the same with the move, Nash said. “Our No. 1 priority is to build a company that will last for generations,” said Kerry Asay, Morinda CEO. “We feel very good about the long-term implications of this decision. We look forward to many more years of providing jobs and adding to the strong economy of Utah Valley, as well as creating a new home for our independent product consultants both international and domestic.” Morinda has a presence in 70 countries worldwide. It recently opened a new office in Ontario, Canada. Caption: Morinda’s American Fork building will soon be home to all the company’s operations. Photo courtesy of Morinda.

The Good Life Oh what a good life it is. I sit in my rocker on the front porch, just watching what is going on in the neighborhood. Many of the neighbors would say I am a nosey person, I say I am just very observant. I am up with the roosters and I retire when the sun begins to set in the west. So I spend many hours on my porch, viewing my beautiful flower garden and observing the awesome neighborhood I live in. Which brings me to the next subject, my little neighbor friend, Henry. Ohh Henry, what a great little guy. He is six years old going on twenty. He has so much energy. To be honest he makes me tired just watching him. Henry really enjoys the good life. One morning he came zipping out of his house at 7 am. By 7:30 am, he had played on his bike, his scooter, his roller blades

and a couple other toys. I was totally exhausted and I was just watching it all! Henry then came over to visit with me on the porch. I enjoy his company. He then proceeded to ask me if I did anything but sit all day. Within a few minutes, bored with my porch-sitting, he jumped up and ran from house to house, knocking on doors trying to find a friend to play with. He has so much energy and he does this continually all day. Henry is the leader, as no one can keep up with him, but he has many friends, from toddlers to teens. He and his sister always entice my grandson, Carson, and granddaughter, Makaylee, to help them make and sell snow cones. Henry is not lazy, he is a very productive little guy! He keeps busy and enjoys each minute of the day while I sit there and enjoy rocking in my rocking chair. So you see, Henry and I both enjoy the good life, both in our own way. Oh Henry, you’re an awesome friend.

“Blithe Spirit” comes to Lehi Lehi Arts Council will present “Blithe Spirit” Oct. 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 30 and 31 at 7:30 p.m. at the Lehi Arts Center, 685 North Center. If you think marriage is “’til death do you part,” Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” may have you thinking again. The story of socialite and novelist Charles Condomine, who is planning a séance as research for his new book, “Blithe Spirit” will have you laughing in your seats at the predicaments Charles finds himself in. “Some people say this was Noel Coward’s best work,” Co-director Paige Albrecht said. In “Blithe Spirit,” Condomine invites the eccentric medium, Madam Arcati, into his English country home, intending to expose her as a fraud. Charles and his second wife, Ruth, invite the skeptical Dr. Bradman and his anxious-to-believe

wife, Violet, to witness the event. When, in the course of the séance, Madam Arcati mistakenly summons Charles’ first wife, Elvira, back from beyond, things get thoroughly out of hand. (Source: Stageagent. com) Hannah Biesinger plays Edith the maid, while Jonathan Biesinger brings the character of Charles Condomine to life. Clayton Wieben and Jessica Duncan are Dr. and Mrs. Bradman. Madame Arcati is played by Katie Porter, with Lacey Jackson taking on the role of Elvira, the ghost of Charles’ former wife. “Blithe Spirit” is co-directed by Albrecht and Kurt Elison with Max Sneary as stage manager and Laura Garner as costume mistress. The seven-person show is more suited to adults and older youth than young children, Albrecht said. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for seniors and students. They may be purchased online at showtix4U.com or at the door the night of the performance.

Blue Lemon Offers Clean Food With a Twist The Blue Lemon offers “clean food with a twist”; fast, casual dining, that is somewhere between fast food and a typical sit-down restaurant. One way they accomplish this is through what is called, a “blended service style”, in which you have some of the perks of going to a sit-down place, such as good service, atmosphere and presentation, but also the speed of service which rivals many fast food franchises. The Blue Lemon focuses on having food options that will fit anyone’s dietary needs, without having to sacrifice taste. A variety of vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Their food is always all-natural and prepared in a way to maximize the nutritional content. Nothing on the menu is ever fried or microwaved and contains no added artificial ingredients.

The Blue Lemon started in business six years ago with a single restaurant and have now expanded to seven locations in two states. In Utah, you can visit them in Ogden, Sandy, Salt Lake City, Cottonwood Heights, and most recently, in their Highland location on Alpine Highway.

Just like the image of a blue lemon, this restaurant strives to bring together interesting and unexpected combinations. For example, when you look at their sides, you are not going to simply see “fries and onion rings”, but instead have the option of items such as “roasted garlic and red pepper green beans” and “apples and toffee dip”. You can try salads, such as the “mango mint chicken salad” or sandwiches such as the “artichoke and tomato panini”. They are also open for breakfast, serving a variety of omelets, wraps, and other favorites. To learn more, visit them at www. bluelemon.com.

The council allowed for the proposal to move forward to the planning commission and a public hearing will be pending. The exchange of easements between Chris Paulson and Alpine City (for Moyle Park) was unanimously approved as diagramed, with adjustments to the irrigation system and fire hydrants at Mr. Paulson’s expense. It was also approved unanimously for a fee to be charged for weddings at Moyle Park, as the caretakers have found the events more labor intensive. The council requested the staff come back with a proposal for higher nonresident fees. A resolution to adopt the Alpine City Sewer System Management Plan was approved unanimously. After the recommendation came from the planning commission to leave the business commercial zone as is, council discussed positions on possible changes. It was suggested to have a joint work session to discuss the topic. A resolution to amend the consolidated fee schedule passed unanimously and the council moved to an executive session to discuss litigation and land use at 9:09 pm.

BLM to Reduce Fire Hazard and Improve Sagebrush Habitat in Northern Utah

West Valley City, Utah—The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Utah West Desert District will conduct four hazardous fuels reduction projects in Box Elder and Tooele Counties this fall and winter. These projects, designed to decrease fuels and enhance sagebrush habitat for sage-grouse and other wildlife, are located near the communities of Grouse Creek and Park Valley in Box Elder County and Lofgreen and Faust in Tooele County. A mechanical shredder (bullhog) will be used to thin trees in dense stands of juniper, leaving islands of mature trees and wildlife corridors undisturbed. Where steep slopes impede equipment use, vegetation may be cut using chainsaws. In total, 4,430 acres will be treated in the four project areas. Contracts were awarded through a competitive bidding process. “These are multi-phased projects that include seeding prior to treatment. Over the last decade, we have conducted similar treatments in these counties, improving wildlife habitat and range productivity,” said BLM Natural Resource Specialist Brad Jessop. “Through monitoring, we have seen an increase in herbaceous vegetation which is critical for

ecosystem function. By altering vegetation, these types of projects also allow for safer and more effective fire suppression.” Funding is provided by the BLM fuels program and Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative. For more information on the projects, contact the BLM West Desert District at 801-977-4300 or go to www.utahfireinfo.gov/ fuel_projects.html. The BLM manages more than 245 million acres of public land, the most of any federal agency. This land, known as the National System of Public Lands, is primarily located in 12 western states, including Alaska. The BLM also administers 700 million acres of sub-surface mineral estate throughout the nation. The BLM’s mission is to manage and conserve the public lands for the use and enjoyment of present and future generations under our mandate of multiple-use and sustained yield. In fiscal year 2014, the BLM generated $5.2 billion in receipts from public lands. Press release contact: Teresa Rigby

Lone Peak Police Blotter Traffic Stop - Highland - Officer Albers stopped a vehicle after running a routine records check and finding the registration was revoked. The driver was found to have a suspended driver’s license. The driver was cited for both offenses. Theft - Highland - Officer Atwood generated a case number for theft at the high school. The report isn’t completed yet. Keys - Highland/Alpine - Officers unlocked two separate vehicles for citizens who had locked their keys in their vehicles yesterday. Assault - Highland - Officer Atwood took an assault report at the high school involving two male students. One of the males was found to be the aggressor and charges will be forwarded against him. Juvenile problem - Highland - An anonymous caller wanted to report several juveniles riding around in go-carts and on dirt bikes in the area of 10100 N. and 6500 W. Officers were unable to locate the juveniles. Accident - Highland - Officer Carrier conducted an accident investigation that occurred at the intersection of 4800 W. and 11000 N. involving a motorcycle and a vehicle. There were no injuries except to the motorcycle, that had to be towed. There were also several alarm calls, a few suspicious calls, citizen contacts... etc. In one day, 24 calls were handled for service. Officer Nielson stopped a vehicle for unsafe equipment and failing to signal. The passenger was found to have a warrant and was arrested on his warrant. He is now sitting in jail wishing his buddy would have signaled and taken care of his car better. There were 4 alarm calls, 5 suspicious calls, a couple of traffic offenses, a couple of accidents, some citizen contacts, a keys call and a few other calls that didn’t amount to much. Tuesday was a bit slower with 12 calls for service. Officer Albers stopped a vehicle and the driver was found to have a warrant. She was able to post bail and avoid Taco Tuesdays down at the jail. We also dealt with a minor accident at Lone Peak High School, some alarms, animal problems...etc Monday, we handled 16 calls for service. Officer Nielson stopped a vehicle for an equipment violation. Upon contact with the occupants, the odor of marijuana was detected by Officer Nielson. The occupants were cooperative, but marijuana, paraphernalia and an open container of alcohol were located in the vehicle. The driver was found to not be impaired and was cited and released on several charges avoiding Meatball Mondays down at the jail. We had 6 alarm calls on this day, a couple of citizen contacts, animal calls....Yep our days are filled with

a lot of the same stuff, different days, different circumstances. Sunday also saw 16 calls for service. The noteworthy call of the day was officers being dispatched to a domestic violence call in Highland. Dispatch advised of a 20-year old female being physical with family members. Officer, very familiar with the family, arrived and after investigating, arrested the 20-year old female. She is currently residing down in Spanish Fork, at a not-so-comfortable facility. Saturday had us handling 24 calls. After midnight there were several suspicious calls that ended up being nothing. At approximately 1:30 AM, Officer Susov observed a vehicle driving in a way that just didn’t seem right. (Stopping at a green light is pretty good indicator of something going on with the driver. This is what we call in cop talk “a clue”) This, along with several other driving violations, caused Officer Susov to stop the vehicle. A few more “clues”......As Officer Susov approached the vehicle, he saw several empty beer cans in the back seat of the vehicle. Upon the driver rolling down the window, a strong odor of alcohol hit Officer Susov. Officer Susov spoke with the driver for a bit, ended up explaining and conducting field sobriety tests and arrested the driver for DUI. The interesting part is, once the driver, who was of foreign decent, was arrested, he then told Officer Susov that he did not speak English. The driver later blew a .275 on the intoxilyzer. (That is more than 3 times the legal limit) He was booked into jail, just in time for runny eggs and burnt bacon. Four hours later, we get dispatched to a rollover accident in Alpine involving an electric pole being taken out and across the road.The driver was found to be impaired and was arrested for DUI. Officer Nielson took a report in which, I assume teenagers, stole a bunch of signs, mailboxes, flags, etc., from all around Highland and Alpine and stuck them all over and in a truck parked at a residence in Highland. This is still under investigation. Officers were dispatched also on this date on a domestic violence call between a husband and wife. Officers found the female was the primary aggressor. She was arrested and booked into jail on several domestic violence-related charges. We also responded to a loud party call and broke that up. (Yep, sometimes we have to be the party poopers!) That wraps up the update. Sorry if you weren’t mentioned in it, but that’s usually a good thing. Courtesy of Lone Peak Police Face book page WWW.lonepeakpolice.com

Anniversary of a Tragedy September 10, 2015 marked the anniversary of the death of Darrien Hunt, a city resident who was shot and killed as he ran from police in Saratoga Springs last year. People do not have to agree on the details of the incident to agree that Hunt’s family suffered an unspeakable loss and that we, as a community, want to support them in their grief. Citizens and officials would also agree that we want to prevent this type of tragedy from ever occurring again. Thursday, Hunt’s family and supporters gathered at the spot by Panda Express, where he died. They remembered him by releasing balloons, playing his favorite music, and retracing his final steps.

A/5

Susan Hunt, Darrien’s mother, hunched over with emotion and was consoled by family members after completing the route. Darrien’s brother, KJ, also attended. There are ongoing legal issues and investigations, and probably will be for years. Susan would like an apology from Saratoga Springs, clearing her son of all wrongdoing. She says she rejected a $900,000 settlement from the city recently, because it did not include an apology and she would have been restricted from discussing the case. The city had no comment. Sometimes things are not simply black and white. Sometimes there are no winners and losers. That day, we all lost. In this sad situation, in a world illustrated in shades of gray, perhaps the least we, as a community, can do is support our police force for their good works and also mourn with the Hunt family for their heart wrenching loss.

Westlake High Dance Company Takes First Place at Shakespeare Competition By Dave Bacom

The dance company from Westlake High School placed first in the ensemble and duo categories in the Shakespeare competition at Southern Utah University this Saturday, October 3rd. Led by instructor Chelsea Budge and choreographer Kelsie Barnes, the dance company continued a tradition of strong performances at the annual event. In its 39th year, the high school Shakespeare competion brings teams of dancers and actors from all all over the western United States to the SUU campus to showcase their Shakespeare-themed performing arts (see http://www.bard. org/competition/). Westlake Dance Company’s winning pieces included a moving portrayal of Romeo and Juliet, a duet by Michael

Spens and Casee Salazar and a nineteen-person ensemble dancing their interpretation of the tragic story of King Lear. Westlake competed in the Buckingham division, which is made up of the largest schools in the competition. The drama team from Westlake, led by Amy Morrey, also performed an ensemble and several monologues and duo and trio performances. They placed 5th overall as a team. This competition is a highlight of the year for dance and drama students. It culminates several months of long practices to perfect their performances. The students were also able to participate in clinics and watch plays as part of the annual event.

Witches and Wizards make their way to the “Magical Museum” event in Lehi

The Hutchings Museum in Lehi will be transformed into a “Magical Museum” on October 23 and 24 for some family Halloween fun based on a Harry Potter and wizardly theme. For two days, the thirteen room museum will transform into the wizardly world of Harry Potter. Each room will have a different theme or activity. In some rooms, guests will enjoy mystical creatures and bones, in other rooms there will be potions, a magic show, real owls and other animals, fortune-telling, and Charlie Weezly drawing dragons. Gildaroy Lockheart will be signing autographs and presenting a show in another room and the Honeydukes Candy Shop will be open for business. Beware at the end, and watch out for the dementors that are scattered about the Azkaban jail. According to Cindy Lee Muir, the events and advertising coordinator for

the museum, this kind of event has happened about every other year with a Harry Potter theme. She explained that this year it was renamed to “Magical Museum” in order to use the Harry Potter theme, but expand on the idea of magical creatures and potions. “We play off the Harry Potter movies and books each year and always have different people and volunteers who come help and bring new ideas. So every year is different,” says Muir. The museum invites guests to come in costumes, but it is optional.The event is planned with a low-scare factor, so the entire family can enjoy it. “The Hutchings Museum has always planned and created events with the public in mind. Lehi is a family-friendly city and we keep this in mind,” Muir explains. Magical Museum will be held on October 23 and 24 from 5-8 pm. The cost is $5 for everyone three years and up. The Hutchings Museum is located at 55 North Center Street in Lehi. For more information, visit their website at http://www.lehi-ut.gov/discover/hutchings-museum or call 801-768-7180.

TOTAL LIFE EXCELLENCE: Collaboration - a Model that Works

By Paula Fellingham

As you may know, I am the founder of the Women’s Information Network (.com), a global community of women helping women live our best lives. Working with women in many nations for over 30 years has taught me the importance of collaboration. I am delighted to share with you a few of my thoughts on this critically important principle. I believe that to best address our growing social, political, and economic challenges, we need to incorporate the Collaboration Model rather than continue with the age-old Dominance Model, if we are to move away from poverty and war and towards prosperity and peace. The Collaboration Model has as its highest priority the caring for people. Its focus is the creation of mutually beneficial relationships. Simply stated, the Dominance Model is about top-down control and the Collaboration Model is about creating healthy, sustainable relationships. The first is based on the need to dominate and control; the second is based on the ability to trust and collaborate. I believe at this critical time in history the world needs more people who are willing to create collaborative relationships based on mutual respect and

mutual benefit. Additionally, more equalitarian relationships (relationships based on equal rights) are needed today in our families, in our businesses, and in our governments. Those who understand and practice these models will surge forward successfully, and those who do not, will not. As with most things that are beautifully simple, collaboration begins with our thoughts, our attitudes, and the questions we ask ourselves. Those who think abundantly ask, “How can I help you?” and/ or, “How can we help each other?” before asking, “What’s in it for me?” People who genuinely desire to create mutually beneficial relationships authentically seek to create win-wins. The good news is that those who aren’t naturally inclined to think abundantly can easily be taught to do so. It’s a matter of wanting to learn a better way of being, then acquiring the tools and practicing until old “dominance” thoughts, habits, and patterns are changed. Succeeding with the superior Collaboration Model is about being “others-centered” rather than “self-centered”. Others-centered leaders work to find ways to make life better for those in their circles of influence. Self-centered leaders work to find ways to make their own lives easier and better. Through the ages, benevolent leaders have been revered and dominant leaders have been feared. Old thinking assumes that top-down control will inevitably continue, but history proves that model is broken. New thinking leads to partnerships and to policies that value people and their needs. And that model works. It’s time for new thinking. It’s time for new action, and new strategies that work. It’s time for consistent kindness, caring, and collaboration.

AF Cavekickers Defeat Lehi Pioneers 2-0 in Girls Soccer By Dean Memmott

In a Region Four girls’ soccer game at Lehi Sept. 15, the American Fork Cavemen defeated the Lehi Pioneers 2-0. Ali Beeston, Cassidy Clegg, and Taylor Takahashi paced the Pioneers in placing much pressure on American Fork goalie Savannah Empey. Clegg, for example, frequently came up with steals that gave Lehi fine chances for shot selection. Empey didn’t let a single Lehi shot zip past her in the game. Mallaree Weller and Alex Allgaier put up strong defensive efforts for the Pioneers as they sought to tip the momentum to Lehi’s favor. American Fork couldn’t be kept in check, though. Late in the first half, the American Forkers finally got onto the scoreboard. American Fork Coach Derek Dunn said, “Cassidy Taylor passed to Emmeline Harrison for our first goal.” American Fork’s lead stayed at 1-0 until the final eight minutes of regulation play. On a breakaway play, Brooklynn Voglesberg scored the second American Fork goal. Dunn said, “Tonight’s win puts our overall win at 7-1. Our only loss this season was to Fremont. That defeat left a bad taste in our mouths, but it taught us what we needed to do to compete. Since Fremont is ranked No. 2 in state, our loss to them showed us that we could compete against teams like that. Tonight, we took a really tactical approach to Lehi. That approach paid off.” Lehi Coach Jerry Prisendorf said, “Though we lost tonight, this game was our best performance this season. Our players gave 100-percent effort. They [American Fork] got us only on two plays tonight.”

Westlake High’s Homecoming Prince By Jan Brown Memmott

Everybody Loves Raymond! Raymond Eberly, a special needs student at Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs, was crowned Honorary Homecoming Prince this year. He is a junior who loves making friends, giving high fives, and especially being a manager for the football team. The players love Raymond and try hard to make him feel welcome and important at practice. Eberly refers to them as “my team.” The cheerleaders have also taught him cheers. “It is amazing the support and love that the students of Westlake High School have given our son and our family,” Raymond’s mom, Heidi Eberly, said. Raymond was nominated because of his work ethic and friendliness to everyone. Students roared their approval at halftime of their homecoming football game September 18, as Raymond’s name was announced and he walked across the field flanked by his parents. They cheered

and clapped, and chanted “Raymond, Raymond” to show their support. He took a date to Homecoming on Saturday September 19, where he got to dance on a red carpet in the center of the floor while his fellow students congratulated him again. “It was cool to see Raymond so happy at the dance. It made the rest of us feel good to give him these memories,” said Savannah Memmott, senior class vice president. Raymond is 16, but his mother says he has the mind of a five year-old. Coach Steve Clements of the football team has a special needs sister and earned a degree in Special Education. He loves having Raymond around members of his team. “... Kids like Raymond, I think are put on the earth for the benefit of others, instead of the other way around,” Clements said.

AF Cavespikers Upset PG Vikings in 5-Game Volleyball Match By Dean Memmott The American Fork Cavemen’s volleyball team pulled off something Sept. 15 that sent shock waves throughout Utah’s 5-A volleyball scene. Despite not having been to state since 2007, American Fork defeated the Pleasant Grove Vikings, the defending state 5-A champs, in a five-game match at Pleasant Grove by scores of 16-25, 22-25, 25-19, 25-15, 15-12. By the way the first two games went, Pleasant Grove looked as though it would brush the American Forkers aside in three games. During the first game, for instance, American Fork clubbed its way back within 14-13. Through a ferocious effort, Vikings Sara Hamson, Malli Valguardson, and Brookylnn Dahl took firm control at the net, frustrating efforts of American Fork’s Morgan Starkie and Elena Hansen. In vanquishing American Fork so easily in Game 1, the Vikings looked as though they would decimate American Fork in the second game. The American Forkers played better in Game 2. It opened with American Fork’s Tayler Tausinga putting her team on the board first. However, Pleasant Grove soon grabbed a 5-1 lead through the combined hitting of Hamson, Valguardson, and Kennedy Redd. Kyndrah Enosa guided American Fork within 5-4 and 7-5. However, Hamson and teammate Kamzyn Torwhitti couldn’t be shut down at the net. Their efforts produced a 20-12 lead for Pleasant Grove. Shay Prestwich, Whitney Bezzant, and Lauren Ritchie paced American Fork in rallying back within 24-22. Viking Natalie Ridder registered a kill that gave Pleasant Grove a

25-22 win. On paper, American Fork should have fallen apart in Game 3. However, hits by Starkie paced American Fork out to an early 5-1 lead. It boasted the American Forkers’ morale. Hits by Ritchie, Prestwich, and Tausinga kept American Fork ahead for the entire game. Meanwhile, Pleasant Grove’s state veterans and first-year starters began having problems with hitting and serving errors. Those mistakes kept the Vikings from getting closer than 12-9. A Ritchie block produced a 25-19 win for American Fork. While American Fork played sensational in the fourth game, the Vikings played worse than they did in Game 3. The Vikings made bad hits more frequently than they did in the third game. They also missed more serves. This gave the inexperienced American Fork players a golden opportunity to show that they had to be taken seriously, despite having stayed home from state for eight consecutive years. Pleasant Grove finally took American Fork serious after the American Forkers took a 3-0 lead in Game 5. The Vikings battled back to tie the game at three, but they missed a serve. That miss tipped the game to American Fork’s favor. Ritchie, Starkie, Tausinga, Enosa, and Elena Hansen didn’t let Hamson, Dahl, or Valguardson intimidate them at the net as American Fork battled to stay out in front. Pleasant Grove battled back to tie the game at 10. A Viking hitting error put American Fork ahead. The Vikings continued stayed close until a Bezzant ace won the game and the match for American Fork.

AF Caveman Harriers Dominate PG Cross Country Meet By Dean Memmott

The American Fork Cavemen’s cross country team won the varsity boys’ division of the Pleasant Grove Invitational, held in Pleasant Grove Sept. 19. Running on the same course, where this autumn’s Region Four cross country championships are to be held, the Cavemen’s seven varsity harriers all finished among their race’s top 10 finishes to win the meet’s varsity boys’ title. Among the seven Cavemen to place among the top 10 varsity boys’ finishers, Casey Clinger took first, Pat Parker second, Joe Simmons third, Hagen Harmer fourth, Jason Manning fifth, Pat Larkin seventh, and Cole Phillipi eighth. American Fork had its varsity girls sit out the meet, so they could prepare for the Bob Firman Invitational in Idaho later this month. American Fork’s junior varsity girls raced at the meet, though, and they, too, dominated their race’s top 10 finishes. Among those racers, Madison Marrott took first, Emma Russell second, Kaylie Green third, Dani Christliers fourth, Ashlynn Lee fifth, Stormy Watson eighth, and Scout McMillan 10th. American Fork also dominated the top

10 finishes in the JV boys’ race. Among the Cavemen to place in the JV boys’ run, Ben Carson took first, Parker Barnes second, Tony Jeffs third, Dalton Brems fourth, Carson Clinger fifth, Talon Garrick seventh, and Ammon Sumsion 10th. In winning the meet’s individual varsity boys’ title, Clinger said, “I gained a better feel of this course. It’s where region is going to be held in October. I should do better on it when I run on it again. I want to lower my time on it. In fact, I want to finish in a time lower than 15 minutes. I finished in a time of 15:05 today.” American Fork boys’ cross country coach Timo Mostert said, “Everybody got their times down today. This meet gave us a chance to run against four good teams today.” The three schools that participated in the invitational with American Fork included Bingham, Wasatch, and Pleasant Grove. Varsity boys’ team scores read American Fork 15, Pleasant Grove 57, Bingham 81, and Wasatch 108. Varsity girls’ team scores were Wasatch 46, Pleasant Grove 50, and Bingham 57.

Rockwell Sports Fall has officially arrived and fall sports are in full swing at Rockwell. The volleyball team has been very competitive in their matches this fall. I have had the opportunity to witness several matches and I can say that they are a good team. This year they have been matched against several of the top 2A teams in the state. They won the match against St. Joseph at the Wendover classic in September. They also beat American Preparatory Academy in West Valley in league match play. They have been very competitive in their other league matches. Ashlee Debruin, Rebecca Hougard, Jayce Carter, and Kylie Oswald have been stand-outs at each match. Ashlee said, “We play hard all the time.” Good

luck girls, we are proud of you! Cross-country is nearing the end of their season. Coach RaNell Goldthorpe’s team has been very disciplined and has worked hard all fall. Coach Goldthorpe is an excellent coach. She’s preparing her team for region and state competition. Kobee Scott, Malia Sellers, Amaria Sellers, Shad Largent, Jerin Bond, and Matt Ackerman are a few of the runners on the team. We hope you do well at regions. Rockwell welcomes Ryan Stuart as the boys basketball coach. Coach Stewart coached at Jordan High as an assistant coach. He also played for them in the early 1980’s. Troy Gifford will lead girls for the coming year. Good luck to both teams!
