Chamber assists businesses large and small From major technology companies to home-based businesses, the Lehi area has a uniquely wide representation of all sizes and sorts of business. Representing them all and their unique needs is the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce. “Our chamber has a unique diversity in businesses. We have some of the biggest businesses in the state of Utah and we have lots and lots of stay-at-home businesses,” said Mark Welcker, president of the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce. “I have a huge diversity in my chamber where I have to appeal to the needs of small businesses, medium-sized businesses like on Main Street in Lehi, and then the enormous corporations.” With this in mind, the Lehi Area Chamber is working hard to serve all businesses in Lehi, Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain, the three cities the chamber represents. “My first priority is to facilitate business growth,” Welcker said. “Basically if I can help you do well and make money, then that’s a feather in my cap. That means I’m doing my job right.” Now is a good time for businesses in northern Utah County. The Lehi area has become known as a good place for high-tech companies to gather and Lehi City has done a good job keeping the area an attractive place to do business. Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain continue to grow in population, creating an ever-larger customer base for businesses. “The whole end of north Utah County is just taking off again,” Welcker said. Whether a business owner needs assistance or more training in business fundamentals or if a business wants to participate more fully in the community and needs a way to connect, the chamber has ways to help. For example, the chamber offers the following meetings where business representatives can meet, network and learn how to grow their companies: - The chamber hosts its monthly luncheon on the first Tuesday of each month. Guest speakers provide information about issues relating to doing business on a state and local level. - On the fourth Thursday of every month, the chamber and the Saratoga Springs Business Alliance jointly hold a luncheon. With guest speakers that are experts in fields such as accounting and advertising, this event is designed to provide more specific information about how to run a business better. - On the fourth Friday of every month, the chamber hosts its Early Risers Networking Breakfast. This event, held at 7:30 a.m. at the Lehi location of Mountain Applied Technology College, is all about making connections with other busi-

ness owners and leaders. Everyone is invited - not just chamber members - and everyone attending is given a few minutes to introduce themselves and their business to the group. Welcker said that it’s common to see people taking notes during the meeting and exchanging business cards after as they discover others who provide a service or product that can benefit their business. Those interested are Mark Welcker asked to RSVP before attending. The chamber is also planning to provide some new services this year. Welcker said chamber will be getting a new website where chamber members will be able to have “landing pages” and Web page visitors can view more about their businesses. Also through the new website, members will be able to develop their own mobile apps for their businesses. The chamber will also begin a new program which will place bags in the Lehi, Saratoga Springs and Eagle Mountain city halls to be passed out to new residents as they come in for utility services. Chamber members will be able to place information, which could be flyers or coupons or whatever they like - inside the bags. Welcker estimated between 800 and 900 of the bags will be distributed each year. “That’s one way we can help small businesses because that will save them hundreds of dollars through not having to mail out things,” he said. A third new service the chamber will begin offering in about mid-May is a prescription drug card. The cards can be taken to a local pharmacy for a discount on prescription drugs. Sometimes an individual’s insurance may provide a better deal than the card, but sometimes the card will be better. For those who own a small business and don’t have insurance, this can be beneficial, Welcker said. The chamber has also lowered the membership cost for home-based businesses from $150 to $75. “We just want to make it affordable for them to join the chamber,” Welcker said. “Once they’re members, there’s a lot we can do for them.” For more information about the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce or to join the organization, call Mark Welcker at (801) 836-0836 or send him an email at lehichamber.gmail. com.

Local lawyer strives for excellence “I’m not interested in being a good, or a great lawyer, I want to be an exceptional lawyer.” According to attorney Craig Bainum, the difference between great lawyers and exceptional lawyers are those who manage their case load so that they can give their full attention and effort to every client. He always treats current clients as being more important that prospective clients. If he thinks that taking a new case would interfere with a current client, he turns down the new case. He went to law school because “I wanted to be rich, I wanted to know everything, and I wanted to help people. Well . . . I have never been rich, I don’t know everything, but I do get to help people every day. And I love it.” He graduated from the BYU law school in 1991 and since then has practiced law in a variety of settings, including construction law and as a public defender. A fan of being his own boss, Craig went into business for himself in Lehi about a year ago.

He and his family have lived in Lehi for over 16 years and wouldn’t have it any other way. Craig handles many different types of cases, likes the variety of doing more than one thing, and never shies away from the difficult cases. He likes the small firm feel and the opportunity to focus on helping both individuals and small businesses rather than large corporations. For engaging and expert legal advise, call attorney Craig Bainum. You may be exceptionally pleased with how he can help you, your family, or your small business.

10 Reasons it’s important to Shop Locally (Source: Buy Local First Utah)

1. You kept your money in our economy. Studies show that for every dollar spent in a locally owned business, three times more of that dollar stays in our economy than would be the case with a national retailer. 2. You embraced the character of our community. We wouldn’t want our houses to look like everyone else’s. So why would we want our community to look that way? 3. You created local jobs. Local businesses are far better than chains or giant online retailers at creating more jobs per consumer dollars spent. 4. You helped the environment. You conserved energy and resources in the form of less fuel for transportation and less packaging. Walkable business districts reduce sprawl and automobile use. 5. You benefited from our passion and expertise. As your friends and neighbors, we have a vested interest in knowing how to serve you. We’re passionate and knowledgable about what we do - why not take advantage of it? 6. You kept your tax dollars here. Spending locally instead

of online ensures that your tax dollars are reinvested where they belong - right here in our community! 7. You encouraged innovation and product diversity. Whether brick and mortar retail or local online, service providers or manufacturers, local business innovators ensure marketplace diversity - important in any economy. 8. You loved your neighbors. We know you and you know us. Locally owned businesses link us together in a web of social and economic relationships. Studies show that locals donate to community causes at twice the rate of chains. 9. You kept the American dream alive. You nurtured entrepreneurship, which fuels prosperity by serving as a means for families to move out of low-wage jobs and into the middle class. This is the foundation of our American economy. 10. You made us a destination. The more interesting and unique we are as a community, the more we will attract new neighbors and visitors. This benefits everyone!

Lehi: A city rich in history and opportunity Bert Wilson Mayor, Lehi city Lehi is a vibrant, family-oriented community rich in history and new opportunities. With a population that has more than quadrupled since 1990, Lehi is one of Utah’s fastest-growing communities. Families and businesses alike are finding that Lehi, with its strategic location halfway between Salt Lake City and Provo, is the perfect place to locate. Lehi boasts beautiful views of the Wasatch Front and Bert Wilson Utah Lake, fantastic community services and amenities, and emerging technology and business sectors. Over the past few years, Lehi’s growth has accelerated rapidly. Perhaps the most conspicuous example of this growth is the beautiful new Adobe building located adjacent to Traverse Mountain at the northern end of the city. New, high-paying jobs have been created by the Adobe expansion and companies like IM Flash, Xactware and Microsoft have all chosen to relocate or expand to Lehi. On the retail side, Lehi is home to Cabela’s, the Outlets at Traverse Mountain (featuring stores like Nike, Banana Republic, J. Crew and many more) and a wide selection of restaurants. Despite its astounding growth, Lehi is committed to remaining a friendly, family-oriented community. Lehi City provides many leisure service activities and events designed to bring people together and encourage an active, healthy quality of life. Some of these services include the Legacy Center (a full-service recreation center featuring indoor and outdoor pools, quality exercise equipment, basketball courts, racquetball courts and an indoor track), a library with excellent selections, the Rippy Literacy Center and the Hutchings Museum. With all that Lehi has to offer, it is no wonder that the city is seeing such tremendous growth. Whether you are a business or a resident, Lehi has what you are looking for. Lehi is truly “Pioneering Utah’s Future.” A GROWING TECHNOLOGY HUB Right in the heart of the “Silicon Slopes,” Lehi has quickly become a fast-growing hub for the technology sector. The new Adobe building is an iconic addition to

the Traverse Mountain area. With plans to build two more buildings, Adobe will eventually employ more than 1,500 people focusing on analytics and marketing. Although the Adobe building is the most recognizable sign of technology growth in Lehi, several other technology companies also call Lehi home. IM Flash (a computer chip manufacturer employing approximately 1,500 people), Xactware (an insurance software company employing approximately 1,200 people), Multi-View (a publisher of association-branded business-to-business digital media that will employ approximately 300 people), and other companies like Microsoft all have locations in Lehi. The growth and expansion of the technology sector has made Lehi a magnet for young professionals. In fact, Lehi’s proximity to several world-class universities (including Brigham Young University, the University of Utah and Utah Valley University) has played a significant role in attracting technology companies to expand to the city. Lehi looks forward to continuing its growth and providing an ideal home for the jobs of the future.

RAPID RESIDENTIAL GROWTH Along with several companies that are now calling Lehi home, Lehi’s residential population is also growing at a rapid rate. According to a new report issued by Construction Monitor, Lehi ranked first along the Wasatch Front for the number of new single-family homes built in 2012. According to the report, 689 new single-family homes were built in 2012 alone. Lehi still has plenty of room to grow as well. It is estimated that the city has only reached approximately 37 percent of its growth potential. Lehi is also committed to maintaining smart, equitable See LEHI CITY on page 12

The Outlets at Traverse Mountain in Lehi offer some of the best shopping in Utah County.

LEHI CITY

Continued from page 10 growth throughout the community. Lehi’s housing stock offers everything from townhomes to starter homes and larger homes for more established families.With all that Lehi has to offer, it is little wonder why so many people are eager to make Lehi home.

Lehi has some of the best shopping available in Utah County, particularly with Cabela’s and the Outlets at Traverse Mountain. The Outlets at Traverse Mountain offer a wide-range of shopping choices including Nike, Banana Republic, J. Crew, Coach, The Children’s Place, and much, much more. AWESOME PUBLIC EVENTS Along with fantastic city amenities like the Legacy Center, the Rippy Literacy Center and the Hutchings Museum, Lehi is also committed to offering awesome public events designed to bring the community together. Perhaps one of the best known events occurs every June with the Lehi Round-Up Rodeo and Celebration. The Round-Up

The Lehi Legacy Center offers recreation and fitness options for the whole family.

Rodeo and Celebration is a week-long event featuring a parade, 5K and 10K races, a family fun day, a PRCAsanctioned rodeo and much more. Along with the Round-Up Rodeo and Celebration, Foam Day has quickly become a much-anticipated tradition in Lehi. Every July people from around the area gather at one of Lehi’s parks as the Lehi Fire Department fills the park with foam up to hip level. Mayhem ensues as the foam begins to fly and people have a great time at a truly unique event. Lehi’s events are open to everyone who is interested in coming, so be sure to check out some of our exciting city events!

Annual Rodeo Round-Up, miniature parade Lehi City’s annual Lehi Round-Up celebration will offer a wide variety of events in 2013, including the prestigious Lehi RoundUp Rodeo which has been held yearly since 1937. The celebration will be held June 24 through 29, 2013, with rodeo competition on June 27, 28 and 29. The rodeo is a major stop on the Wilderness Circuit for professional rodeo cowboys. Tickets are now available for this year’s rodeo; visit www.lehirodeo.com for more information. Other events during the celebration will include a baby contest, a boutique, a family picnic and parades. The Lehi miniature parade is one of the unique events of the Lehi Round-Up, with local residents building floats and children riding on them and pulling them. The Round-Up also includes the Stock Parade, one of the largest all-horse parades in the state of Utah. Riders and organizations from all over the region participate in the parade, some preparing elaborate costumes for themselves or their horses. Sometimes racing chariots and wagons also make an appearance in the parade. For more information about the Lehi Round-Up, visit www.lehiut.gov or e-mail at lehiroundup@gmail.com.

Business Core a resource to all Lehi businesses Main Street is the heart of Lehi, and local businesses are coming together to encourage and promote business there and throughout the Lehi community. In the fall of 2011, Main Street businesses became aware of plans to reconstruct Main Street and had concerns about the closure of the street and how it would affect business. In order to communicate more effectively with the city administration about the project, the businesses came together to form the Lehi Business Core organization. “We came to the name because we realized that the heart or the core of the community is on Main Street,” said Julie Rafiner, a volunteer leader of the Lehi Business Core and a manager at the Bridal Center on Lehi’s Main Street. “We came to be because we were interested in having a positive business environment on Main Street,” Rafiner said. “But also we wanted to increase our communication with our city leaders and with those doing construction.” However, even after construction on Main Street was completed, the group remained in place to continue to

Lehi Main Street offers a small hometown feel with many local businesses.

promote local businesses. Today, while still an advocate for the Main Street area, the Lehi Business Core has expanded its mission to being a resource and support for businesses throughout Lehi City. The Lehi Business Core is sponsored by the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce. The Lehi Business Core currently organizes two events per year to promote local businesses: the Halloween trick-or-treat parade and an Easter event. For the trick-or-treat event, businesses located on and off Main Street set up locations on Main Street where children in costume can pick up treats. About 1,200 children attended last year’s Halloween event, which helps get people into the downtown area and introduce them to their area businesses. The Easter event includes a bonnet contest and a trivia contest through which people visit local businesses to gain answers to questions about those businesses. Participants are put into a drawing for prizes. “It’s a communication group that wants open communication and also promotes business in the community through those two events right now,” Rafiner said. Businesses are asked to join the Business Core, but there is

Big selection of batteries & light bulbs Even bigger savings

no fee to join. Every business in Lehi is welcome and the organization has plans for future activities as well. “Downtown Lehi has productive, successful, powerfully good businesses,” Rafiner said. “There are so many great companies in downtown Lehi that are family businesses that have been in business as many as four and more generations.” Rafiner herself works for one of those businesses. Her mother, Connie Nielsen, started sewing bridal gowns 49 years ago and still owns and works at the Bridal Center at 35 W. Main in Lehi. The Nielsen family home is also on Main Street just next door to the bridal business. “I grew up working in this business,” Rafiner said. “Lehi is a neat community and even though we have grown as we have, we welcome all those who have moved to our community and hope they feel the heritage and the longevity of the businesses and we hope they feel welcome.” For more information or to join the Lehi Business Core, call Julie Rafiner at (801) 768-9624 or send her an email at julierafiner@gmail.com.

The City of Saratoga Springs is among the top 10 highest-growth cities in Utah, and as a region the northern Utah County area has also experienced rapid development and growth in recent years. Saratoga Springs is committed to responsible and balanced growth while bringing regional retail, neighborhood commercial, resort and hospitality uses, traditional neighborhoods, business parks, low and medium density residential, neighborhood and regional parks, schools, large research and development properties, and other developments and job opportunities to the city.

Boasting a worldrenowned urban design firm working on the project, the area has an approved zoning district, contains the terminus and future extension of the Mountain View Corridor freeway, the intersection of several major arterial roadways, and is the regional epicenter of Saratoga Springs, Eagle Mountain and western Lehi cities. Saratoga Springs anticipates the City Center District will include an urban center, transit-oriented development, town neighborhood, a business park, office warehouse,

neighborhood commercial, regional retail, traditional neighborhood, a master planned subdivision, and resort and hospitality uses. Saratoga Springs is only partially developed with just 25 percent of the land area within the city developed to this point. It is expected that Saratoga Springs will have more than 100,000 residents when completely built. With so much potential growth, the city is taking advantage of the great opportunity to work with residents, land owners and developers to proactively plan for the future needs of our residents.

Plan to get wet at Splash Days Celebration Arts, concerts, family activities and an opportunity to get really wet will all be part of the 2013 Saratoga Splash Days, a city celebration planned in Saratoga Springs from Monday, June 10, through Saturday, June 15, 2013. The Arts in the Park event will kick off the week, followed by a special story time by the Saratoga Springs Library and the Sidewalk Art Competition. Later in the week, families can enjoy a picnic in the park - with free dessert - and enter their kids in the baby contest. On Friday, June 14, residents are encouraged to get out their swimsuits and water guns and attend the Splash Bash sponsored by the Saratoga Springs Fire Department. Prepare to get wet at this amazing epic water party. Splash Days will end with the Kiwanis Club Breakfast, Grand Parade and Family Carnival. Because of road construction, the parade route will be changed this year. Entries will line up along 1200 North and the parade will travel south on 800 West to Marie Way, ending at Thunder Ridge Elementary School.

Business alliance helps create relationships Business is about relationships, and the Saratoga Springs Business Alliance helps local business owners and employees create those relationships. “We are a voice for the businesses in Saratoga Springs,” said Neil Bryce, chairman of the Saratoga Springs Business Alliance. “It’s a place to really communicate back and forth and get to know each other and do business together.” Bryce, an entrepreneur, wanted to start making connections with local businesses while starting an online TV station called TV Saratoga. He was exploring the possibility of starting a chamber of commerce in Saratoga Springs when the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce offered to allow his organization to operate under the umbrella of the Lehi chamber. As a result, the Saratoga Springs Business Alliance was formed in March of 2012. The SSBA focuses on three areas: networking, advocacy and education. The alliance provides opportuni-

ties for businesses to interact and acts as a voice for businesses on city issues affecting local business. On the fourth Thursday of each month, the alliance holds a luncheon with speakers that focus on ways to help people with their businesses. Bryce said these meetings often focus on technology issues such as marketing a business online. Cost to attend the luncheon is $10 and everyone not just alliance members - is welcome to attend. The SSBA’s major event during the year is sponsoring bounce houses during Saratoga Splash Days. Six bounce houses are set up in Neptune Park for families to enjoy and each bounce house has a business sponsor, which helps city residents become more familiar with their local businesses and makes enjoying the bounce houses more affordable for families, Bryce said. The SSBA wants to increase its involvement in community events in the future, including planning a fall event of some kind that showcases local businesses.

To join the SSBA, one simply needs to join the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce. If the business is located in Saratoga Springs, membership in the SSBA comes automatically with Lehi chamber membership, and those who join can then enjoy all the benefits of being part of the Lehi chamber as well. “It’s really cool because it’s almost like you get two for the price of one,” Bryce said. Those interested in joining the Lehi Area Chamber of Commerce and the SSBA can visit www. lehichamber.org or send an email to lehichamber@gmail.com.

LHS boasts largest SkillsUSA chapter in Utah At Lehi High School, students are actively pursuing success in their chosen trades and bringing home the awards to prove it. Lehi High has the largest high school chapter of the SkillsUSA organization in Utah, with about 80 students participating during the 2012-13 school year. SkillsUSA is a national nonprofit organization serving high school and college students who are preparing for careers in trade, technical and skilled service occupations. More than 300,000 students and advisors in more than 3,700 schools throughout the United States participate in SkillsUSA annually. Essentially, SkillsUSA is a vocational organization encouraging students to prepare for careers in skilled trades such as woodworking, welding, culinary arts, photography and medical jobs. “It’s a student-run organization,” said Chris Griesemer, a photography teacher at Lehi High School and one of the Lehi High SkillsUSA chapter advisors. “They specialize in a specific thing that goes along with their classes. We do multiple activities throughout the

year.” One of those activities is the annual state competition, which has students from various high schools competing against each other for top honors in their field of study. Griesemer said this year, 75 of the students in Lehi High’s SkillsUSA chapter went to the state competition and 47 of them brought back medals: 28 gold, 10 silver and nine bronze. Overall, there are nearly 100 areas in which students can compete, he said. The students who win gold medals are eligible to compete at nationals, and a group of Lehi High student competitors will be attending the SkillsUSA national competition June 24-29 in Kansas City, Kansas. Many students who participate in SkillsUSA win scholarships to colleges and continue to participate in the organization on the college level. Competitions are judged by professionals in the various trades, and occasionally students have come away from a competition with a job offer. “One of the main things I’ve noticed it helps a lot with is confidence in the students,” Griesemer said.

Griesemer attributed Lehi High’s success in SkillsUSA to a supportive faculty. Several instructors in various trades act as advisors to the chapter and an English teacher helps students with their portfolios. “Our goal is to make it the biggest and best possible,” Griesemer said. “We as the advisors make SkillsUSA look fun and exciting and show the students the possibilities, their true potential. … The advisors care about the students a lot and want to see them succeed.” Ultimately, through SkillsUSA, students who took a class because it sounded fun may end up seeing it as a potential future job. “I think a lot of our students that end up competing in SkillsUSA do end up following these (fields of study) as careers,” Griesemer said. “We just hope to continue to keep growing and providing more students with opportunities.” Lehi High School has the largest high school SkillsUSA chapter in Utah.

Two WHS seniors win Sterling Scholar honors Any high school would be excited to have one of its students win top honors in the statewide Sterling Scholar contest. This year, however, Westlake High School in Saratoga Springs has two reasons to celebrate. Two Westlake seniors were named overall state winners in their categories during the 2013 Sterling Scholar awards ceremony held March 13 at Cottonwood High School in Murray. John Robe, the son of Jeffrey and Patricia Robe of Saratoga Springs, was named the state Sterling Scholar in Computer Technology and Eric Wilcox, the son of Mark and Frances Wilcox of Saratoga Springs, was named the state Sterling Scholar in Family and Consumer Science. Students throughout Utah compete in 13 different areas of study as part of the Sterling Scholar competition, which is sponsored annually by the Deseret News and KSL. Entrants compete on school and regional levels before a single state winner is declared in each category. “They’re going to be amazing leaders in their field,” said Cheryl Rogers, the Sterling Scholar coordinator at Westlake High. “I look to see them very successful, both

of them.” John Robe has always had an interest in computer technology, but his interest in computer programming began after a visit to the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center in Pleasant Grove at age 12. He began taking the center’s programming class and eventually spent about 500 hours volunteering time to help program the center’s space travel simulations. Last year, a relative living in California heard of a summer programming job and suggested Robe apply. After a telephone interview, Robe was hired and spent the summer working full-time for Taxware Systems programming tax software. “I was working with people who have bachelor’s degrees in computer science and I was just programming away with them,” he said. While in California, Robe met the CEO of another company who hired him to make apps during his free time. Robe is still working for that company and has started his own company creating iPhone apps. Robe will attend the University of Utah on a four-year,

Continued from page 34 full tuition scholarship. “The opportunities or the ability that you have in programming is limitless,” Robe said. “You have the ability to create anything you want. You’re not bounded by anything.” Eric Wilcox’s interest in Family and Consumer Science started when he joined WHS’s chapter of Family, Career and Community Leaders of America, a national organization promoting career and technical education with an emphasis on the family. He enrolled in culinary arts and restaurant management courses and eventually became the school’s FCCLA president and then the FCCLA president for the state of Utah. He attended FCCLA national events in Orlando, Fla., and Washington, D.C., and has met with Utah legislators and advocated for the organization. He has also learned about family issues such as child abuse and bullying. “FCCLA is all about ending those childhood and teen issues in the family today,” Wilcox said. He’s currently doing an internship with the Saratoga Springs city attorney and wants to become a family law attorney. He won a four-year scholarship from the Daniels

Westlake High School seniors John Robe (left) and Eric Wilcox both won top awards in the statewide Sterling Scholar competition.

Traveling Exhibits: The Exploratorium in San Francisco is an international leader in museum science education and will provide a rotation of new exhibits at the museum. The Museum of Natural Curiosity will be located in a new facility named the Barbara Barrington Jones Family Foundation Building. Construction of the museum began in October of 2012. The museum is projected to have more than 225,000 guests annually to add to the 1.9 million visitors that Thanksgiving Point currently receives. The museum will continue Thanksgiving Point’s mission to create a place that draws upon the natural world to cultivate transformative family learning. The museum is still in need of $3.4 million to complete its interior exhibit spaces. More than $24 million has already been raised to go toward the total $27.6 million needed. To donate or to learn more about the Museum of Natural Curiosity, please visit www.MuseumofNaturalCuriosity.org or call (801) 768-7433.

Murdock Canal Trail to connect communities In 2013, a new trail is becoming available to residents of northern Utah County that will have them walking, running and biking throughout much of Utah County and even north into the Salt Lake County area. The Murdock Canal Trail will officially open on May 18, 2013, as a 17-mile-long trail extending through seven cities: Orem, Lindon, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Cedar Hills, Highland and Lehi. The trail will be available year-round for walking, jogging, cycling, skateboarding and even equestrian use. Eventually the trail will be connected to the Jordan River Parkway, a trail that follows the Jordan River from Utah Lake through Salt Lake County to the Great Salt Lake, and the Provo River Trail, which runs from Utah Lake through the city of Provo to the mouth of Provo Canyon. Formerly an open canal, the Murdock Canal has been enclosed with pipes, creating the opportunity to utilize the ribbon of land covering the piping as a recreational trail for residents. Enclosing the canal removed the danger of the open canal while turning it into something that everyone can use, said Deon Giles, parks and recreation director

The new Murdock Canal Trail will officially open to residents on May 18, 2013.

for Pleasant Grove City. “It’s a great thing for residents to be able to get out and exercise and eventually it will have a lot of connectors to different areas in all of the cities,” Giles said. The trail will be maintained through agreements between the cities and Utah County, he said. No motorized vehicles will be allowed, and because of limited lighting, the trail will close each evening at dusk. Restrooms and electricity will be available at each trailhead.

Work underway for hospital expansion, new clinic Work is now underway by American Fork Hospital and Intermountain Medical Group for an 84,000-squarefoot expansion to the hospital and a new 85,400-squarefoot Multispecialty Clinic. The hospital expansion, which will be constructed on the south end of the current hospital, will include 10 new operating rooms and 21 emergency room bays. The Multispecialty Clinic will be the new home for many Intermountain Medical Group physicians whose offices are scattered throughout northern Utah County. The new building will also house 12 different clinics with services ranging from an InstaCare to pediatrics to orthopedics. The new clinic will include 97 exam rooms, five laboratory draw areas and digital imaging suites. The new space will provide more convenience to patients who need to visit the hospital for tests or procedures while still having their doctor nearby. Completion of the hospital expansion and Multispecialty Clinic is expected by fall 2014. The need for the hospital expansion comes in response to the growing community and the increasing number of

local residents who no longer travel north or south for treatment. With new roads in the area such as Pioneer Crossing, 2100 North in Lehi, SR-92 and North County Boulevard, it’s much faster to get to American Fork Hospital. Thirteen new surgeons have also joined the hospital’s medical staff in the last five years. Projections show north Utah County will grow 30 percent by the year 2020. The average size of the current hospital’s operating rooms is 322 square feet. The new operating rooms will be at least 550 square feet and come equipped with cutting-edge technology including integrated video monitoring, mobile imaging and fully equipped orthopedic rooms. The new Emergency Department area will have two trauma bays and other specialty rooms such as OB/GYN and pediatrics. Costs are estimated at about $52 million for the hospital expansion, part of which will come from community philanthropy. Utah Valley Healthcare Foundation, the charitable funding arm of American Fork Hospital, has launched a community-wide campaign for $1.5 million.

Jamestown Jewelry: Custom jewelry to last a lifetime When Jim Oviatt stepped into a jewelry making class at Emery High School, he probably didn’t imagine that it would become his career. After taking the class twice, however, he found that it was something he had a natural knack for and really enjoyed doing. He asked his teacher for more information and was given a pamphlet for GIA, a jewelry school in Carlsbad California. After completing a degree in Jewelry Manufacturing Arts and graduating from his Gold and Precious Metals course with honors, Jim returned to his native Utah and eventually took a position as a jeweler at Bangerter Jewelers. He worked there for seven years before he was offered a chance to purchase the store and run it as his own. He did so and renamed it Jamestown Jewelry. He prides himself in providing high-quality jewelry and jewelry repairs. He selects only pieces of high-quality for selling in his shop because he knows that he is likely the one who will be repairing them if they don’t last long. “You know that a bride is going to want to wear that wedding ring forever,” says Jim. “I want it to be something that will last.” Jamestown Jewelry boasts one of the largest selection of men’s rings in the region. Through his extensive connections to other manufacturers in the region, he can provide over 200 styles of men’s rings in stock with hundreds more avail-

able upon request. What makes his selection so unique is there a wide variety of alternative metals in addition to the normal gold, silver, and platinum rings. At Jamestown Jewelry you can find rings made of tungsten, titanium, cobalt chrome, stainless steel, ceramic, black zirconium and many others. A particularly interesting style comes from the metallurgists and metal smiths of ancient Japan. These metalworkers perfected layering two or more different types of metal performing elaborate etchings such as those found on samurai swords. When this is done with different kinds steel, it is known as Damascus steel—a beautiful and durable metal. There’s also a Japanese technique for doing this with other precious metals such as gold and silver known as “mokume gane.” This produces stunning patterns that are a combination of two precious metals such as white gold, rose gold, or sterling silver. This is a rare and sought-after skill not available at just any jeweler. Jim also believes in using his store for charitable work. He recently donated twenty pieces of jewelry to be auctioned off to benefit his uncle, who is battling cancer. He is actively seeking other ways to be active in the community. These techniques and other jewelry making techniques have been Jim’s livelihood for over 15 years and the quality and variety shows. You

can bring your jewelry for repairs whether he sold it to your not and can also bring watches in to repair. Best of all, you can create stunning pieces of custom jewelry using the highest quality skill and materials. Come visit Jamestown Jewelry at 476 North 900 West in American Fork.
