n androgynous Don Draper look-alike, with slickedback hair and suit worthy of a “Mad Men” episode, fills a screen with intriguing companions, including a Daenerys Targaryen body double and a vibrant Maria from “The Sound of Music.” Meet the director of marketing, a software engineer responsible for building online credit card and lending marketplaces, and the director of product marketing for Draper’s high-flying Nav financial-services company, which in February nailed a $44 million Series C funding round. All the “Navsters” (how the company refers to its talent) featured are women successfully navigating a high-tech startup culture often critiqued for its maleness. Their alter-ego characters represent their roles at Nav and how they help businesses groom themselves to best qualify, then secure, loans, credit cards and lines of credit. Their success is a combination of talent, drive and connections — and all that makes star employees, buoyed with a corporate culture promoting equity. “For most of recorded history women have been marginalized at best, oppressed at worst, in every nation that’s ever existed,” says Nav co-founder and CEO Levi King. “At Nav Female and male employees alike appreciate Nav’s work to ensure equal pay for equal work. The Draper company has 130 employees, with women we’ll continue to right history’s wrong and engage women fulfilling executive, managerial, technical and administrative roles, alongside equally paid male colleagues. equally with men at every level.” Seven out of 10 individuals in technology have read news can often, perhaps surprisingly, lead to inequality and a lack Startup culture not conducive to diversity? critical of the industry’s lack of diversity, reports the Comput- of diversity, explains Maggie Kruse, vice president of people Eighty-three percent of American startups are captained ing Technology Industry Association (CompTia). and culture, for the newly well-heeled startup. by white or Asian males, according to the Kapor Center for When it comes to the business of people — or attracting, “A lot of startups are not even thinking about diversity,” Social Impact. grooming and retaining talent for startups — startup culture she says. “They are just trying to go to market.” Continued Page 8

Corner Canyon mountain biking coach receives national award By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com
C
orner Canyon High mountain biking coach Whitney Pogue has led the nation’s largest mountain biking club to three state championships in its seven years of existence. But that’s not why she was recently honored with a national Double-Goal Coach from the nonprofit Positive Coaching Alliance organization that preaches a philosophy of “Better Athletes, Better People.” “Coach Pogue, or ‘Ginger Mama’ as her athletes lovingly refer to her, helps athletes win in and out of sports,” said Tina Syer, PCA president. “By creating a positive character-building youth sports experience and serving as a Double-Goal Coach, she helps youth develop into better athletes and better people. She makes everyone feel welcome with her magnetic personality and accepting nature.” Jennie Wulbrun, PCA’s program and events administrator, personally reviews each application and said she was initially struck by the nominations for Pogue. “I could just feel that she cares so deeply for each of her kids and she has such inclusivity within her program,” Wulbrun said. “Despite the large numbers she handles on her team, every child feels that they know her and that she cares about them.” “This gives greater visibility to the National Interscholastic Cycling Association and the sport of mountain bike racing as an alternative to more common sports,” Pogue said. “I love the mission of the PCA, which is so closely aligned with what we do within the NICA and within our program. We seek to nurture strong minds, body and character through inclusive and equal programs. Everyone can participate who wants to and we honor each rider and provide them the same/ equal opportunities as the next rider. We work very hard to make these kids great athletes and even better, great people through sport. We teach our kids valuable lessons through sport, but we also show them compassion and treat them with respect and we help them grow as people through their experiences.” The PCA honored 49 other coaches
around the country at the organization’s 18th annual National Youth Sports Awards Dinner and Benefit at Santa Clara, California. Each recipient received a $200 certificate along with recognition in PCA’s publications and website. Pogue was additionally chosen as one of four coaches from the award winners who received an all-expenses-paid trip to the event along with an opportunity to represent the other award winners in a panel discussion at the event that was emceed by NBC’s Mike Tirico. “Whitney was initially very nervous because she said she doesn’t like to be in front of people or have the attention on her. But, she killed it and everybody loved her,” Wulbrun said. This year’s award marked the first time a mountain biking coach has been recognized by the organization; a rock climbing coach was also one of the recipients. “We were looking for a story that really hit home and Whitney’s example just highlights what having a positive coach can do to an event, and the sheer multitude of people to even put on a competition for their sport simply is a monumental effort,” Wulbrun said. One athlete’s nomination for Pogue said, “She is so much more than a coach.” A parent noted, “She has created a safe, inclusive environment for even the non-competitive riders.” Another parent shared, “With Whitney’s encouragement, our son joined the team and has found a place to make new friends, to feel important and to boost his self-confidence.” Wulbrun said she was particularly touched by what the CCHS program has done for an autistic member of the team. “This program made him feel a part of something where Whitney found value in what he brought,” Wulbrun said. “There are many stories of kids who have been forever changed by their participation with the team,” Syer said. “Riders have dealt with mental health issues, drug usage, feeling left out and even death due to suicide and an auto accident. Pogue uses these challenges, much like the challenges on the

mountain bike course, to teach life lessons about getting through difficult situations, working hard to accomplish goals, being accountable to teammates and coaches, and to be inclusive of everyone.” Pogue said she was so inspired to be in attendance at the event among other coaches and award winners. “We all share the same goal of building better people through sports. It was awesome,” Pogue said. “This award is such an honor as we enter our eighth year of the league and coaching. It is representative of everything we strive so hard to provide every kid who comes through our program — No Tryouts! No Bench! Everybody Rides! Everybody Races!” she said. “We genuinely don’t do this for accolades or awards, but for the betterment of the kids, their community and to provide them an amazing experience that can help shape their high school experience in positive ways.” In order to manage the large Corner
Canyon team, Pogue noted the “most incredible community of volunteers” who contribute to the positive culture of the program to make the experience everything it can be for each of her 200 riders. “These are some of the hardest-working kids and volunteers ever,” Pogue said. “We pride ourselves on our family feel and the balance we strike between hard work and fun while holding these kids accountable and making them work hard. I have always been so grateful for those who have been mentors and trusted adults in my kids’ lives, and I am grateful that I get to be that person for some of these kids.” For more information on the hundreds of free multimedia resources Positive Coaching Alliance offers and to learn more about the mission of the organization that strives to create a positive sports culture among youth, visit www.PCADevZone.org. l

Draper police makes a big purchase By Mimi Darley Dutton | m.dutton@mycityjournals.com

T
he Draper Police Department proudly announces the April arrival of their new “baby,” a 38-foot-long and 30,000-pound mobile command center. Proud “parents” Police Chief John Eining and Fire Chief Clint Smith designed the unit to Draper’s specifications and needs. It was built on a commercial chassis (rather than an RV chassis) by Matthews Specialty Vehicles of North Carolina. Matthews specializes in custom buses including mobile medical clinics, bloodmobiles, bookmobiles and other public safety vehicles. “It’s completely custom from the ground up,” Eining said. The main unit cost $470,000, with another $60,000 put into electronics, for a $530,000 total cost to the city. The funds became available about two years ago. Though Eining has struggled with employee retention in a competitive pay market for police, these funds couldn’t be used for salaries. “The money to purchase the command vehicle is one-time money the city acquired either through carryover from budget savings or some other source. One-time money does not come from a recurring revenue source like sales or property tax. Even though the city has one-time money every year, the amounts and funding source can vary; therefore, they cannot be used for salaries or fulltime employees,” Eining said. The command center will serve as a home away from home, a unit on wheels that can be transported to sites around the city for better, more coordinated emergency response. It’s equipped with a conference room at the back featuring a large table, ample seating and a flat-screen TV to keep watch over incidents. Images on the TV come from a specialized camera with 30 times optical zoom that sits atop a 40-foot pole on the exterior of the vehicle. The camera’s zoom allows for such tasks as finding a lost child or a lost person on a mountain in a fire situation. The camera has recording capability so police could potentially record someone committing a crime.

Nav-igating credit-building opportunities for small businesses
Essentially a “Credit Karma for small businesses,” Nav is a company helping companies learn to appreciate and successfully nurture financing opportunities throughout various stages of corporate maturation. The 130-person organization, founded in 2012, accomplished significant milestones in raising its own funding and saw a literal golden opportunity in helping other companies become, then stay, solvent. However, Nav realized its short-term focus on product launch was compromising its big-picture opportunity to be more of an enduring go-to-financing brand. As is the case with many startups, Kruse says, Nav initially considered her discipline, human resources, an afterthought. “They got kind of lucky,” she says, noting that when she joined the company less than a year ago, Nav had managed to assemble a somewhat diverse and very skilled workforce. Nav, she says, was composed of 28% women, in an industry where 21% was the norm. Kruse says she was hired to ratchet that up, and to do so swiftly — “to give an organic program ‘oomph,’” she says.
Giving an organic program ‘oomph’: Ensuring pay equity and a plan for future development
Nav leadership had tasked their new HR leader with the responsibility to increase the percentage of women in company leadership — and on its board of directors — and to analyze and ensure equity, in terms of any gender pay gaps. Three months was the initial timeline, which, upon realizing the enormity of the task, was revised to a year. An energetic, skilled, connected Kruse delivered on all three goals within four months. The timing, Kruse says, coincidentally synched with March’s International Women’s Day, providing an apt opportunity for company-wide communications about the importance of equality in a vibrant company. It also served as excellent timing for distribution of financial-compensation assets to a full 65% of the women working for Nav. The news — and surprise financial rewards — were obviously a boon for the women in the company who received them. But what about their male counterparts? Kruse is clear: Nav employees were unanimous in appreciating the work to ensure equality.

4th of July Sale! She shares a letter received from male employee Tom Klein, who is a product manager with the company: “I’m impressed and grateful for all the research and consideration that must have went into the whole process. Proud to be a part of a company in Utah who is walking the walk in owning its values.”
Cinching the gap — in dollars and in seats at the table
Kruse’s gap analysis research uncovered discrepancies in compensation between what many of Nav’s female and male employees were receiving. “The compensation wasn’t fair, wasn’t transparent,” she says, deeming it a byproduct that is “really typical of startup companies and large companies as well.” Nav management wanted to be crystal-clear with its commitment to equity and drafted, then broadly communicated, its compensation and advancement policies with employees. The policy states: “Gender and ethnic inequity should only be something that our children read about in history books. We believe providing Navsters with company ownership, competitive pay, and a range of meaningful benefits is the start of creating a culture where people want to give the best they’ve got — not because they’re simply making money, but because they’ve fallen in love with our vision, mission, values, and team.”
Indivisibility and radical transparency
“At Nav, one of our core values is indivisibility,” says Caton Hanson, Nav co-founder and chief learning officer. “Equal pay is a driving factor in attaining an indivisible workforce.” Business Development Account Manager Whitney Smith further observes: “Having worked all of my professional life in Utah, being largely outnumbered by male colleagues and experiencing disparity between men and women firsthand, it’s not surprising that we have one of the highest gender wage gaps in the country. Nav’s ap-
proach to achieving equal pay among all employees should be the norm, not the exception.” “Radically transparent” is how Marketing Director Kali Geldis describes the company’s posture. “I not only got a raise, but I got to give raises to hard-working female and male team members that I manage. Nothing feels better than that.” Today, Nav’s workforce comprises 35% women, a makeup Kruse says reflects the percentage of female business owners across the United States. The company recently added two women executives within the company and added another two to its board of directors. The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) confirms Nav’s math: Women-owned firms account for 39% of all privately held businesses in the country.
More than getting by with a little help from friends — Degreed and Women’s Leadership Institute
Nav’s swift journey to ensuring equity for its employees was aided through outreach. Kruse notes that Nav’s relationship with Salt Lake City company Degreed helped inspire Nav’s approach to equity. Another key component to Nav’s ensuring diversity was the Women’s Leadership Institute’s ElevateHer Challenge, where more than 200 Utah companies have committed to focus on one or more aspects of equity assurance in the workplace. Of the six categories, Nav has committed to five and, in May, joined more than 30 businesses across the state in accepting the ElevateHer Challenge for ensuring equity for women in the workplace. “Gender equity is personal for me,” says Nav President Greg Ott. “Not only am I a dad to two strong-willed daughters, I wouldn’t be where I am in my career today without the aspirational women leaders whom I had the honor of working for.” l

Loveland Living Planet Aquarium seeks to restore coral reef ecosystems By Katherine Weinstein | Katherine@mycityjournals.com

C
oral reefs are known as the “rainforests of the sea” for good reason. As Brent Andersen, founder and CEO of Loveland Living Planet Aquarium, explained, “Twentyfive percent of all ocean species rely on coral reefs for their survival. They are the nurseries for so many animal species.” Coral reefs also act like forests in that they absorb carbon from the atmosphere. With their massive size, they also protect shorelines in 81 countries by helping to slow down waves from hurricanes, cyclones and tsunamis. Coral reef ecosystems provide coastal communities around the world with food and opportunities for recreation and tourism. Unfortunately, factors such as pollution, climate change, overfishing and careless recreational divers are threatening the very survival of coral reefs. Scientists estimate that 70 to 90 percent of the world’s reefs could be lost over the next 30 years if no action is taken. Loveland Living Planet Aquarium is seeking to help solve the problem by educating the public about coral reefs and the threats facing them and is also launching a new coral reef restoration program in the Pacific Ocean. The projects are part of the aquarium’s central mission of promoting stewardship of

our planet. “I wanted to give people the ability to understand that there’s just one global, interconnected ecosystem called the living planet,” said Andersen. “No matter where you live in the world you are impacted and impacting other people and other ecosystems around the rest of the world.”
Caribbean Reef Ecosystem exhibit
In June, the aquarium opened a new Caribbean Reef Ecosystem exhibit featuring six displays and several new aquatic species. These include an Atlantic pygmy octopus, yellowhead jawfish, oyster toadfish, jackknife fish and coral. The exhibit also includes lionfish, which are an invasive species in Caribbean waters. Since lionfish arrived about 30 years ago, they have wreaked havoc on coral reefs and the native species that live there. Aquarium guests can learn about how these fish are harmful and why it’s important not to release non-native fish into an ecosystem, such as an unwanted pet fish. Andersen explained that some of the people working to restore coral reefs in the Caribbean have sent coral fragments to the aquarium for this exhibit. These fragments will be carefully tended so they grow and thrive in their new habitat. Multiple aquariums across the nation are growing corals as part of the effort to save them.
Coral reef restoration program
The goal of the Living Planet Reef Restoration Program is ultimately to restore 22 million square feet of coral reef in an area of the Pacific Ocean known as the Coral Triangle by 2025. The Coral Triangle, which is bordered by the Philippines, Indonesia and New Guinea, is home to the most diverse coral system in the world. Andersen and the aquarium divers first visited the Philippines in the fall of last year and again in June where they identified sites for coral “farming” and established partnerships with people in the area to work on the restoration program. The program uses a farming technique successfully used in the Caribbean to grow coral using “trees” made of fiberglass secured to the sea floor. Small coral fragments that have broken off naturally due to storms are attached to the trees with monofilament. Once they are attached, the coral pieces start to grow rapidly. Each underwater nursery site can accommodate up to 20 trees. An established nursery can produce as many as 12,000 new coral fragments every year. The coral fragments will be planted to form a new reef. Andersen acknowledges there may be people who question the project of growing new corals in the face of increasing ocean
acidification and continued warming. “We are using corals that have wider adaptability,” he explained. Some corals are genetically more resilient than others. Also, growing coral on trees speeds up the natural process of coral development. “We are building reefs that would normally take hundreds of years to re-build,” said Andersen. The aquarium is inviting everyone to help with this vital project to restore the world’s coral reefs. “At the basic level,” said Andersen, “people can spread the word about the effort.” The aquarium’s website allows people to make donations to adopt a coral fragment or tree or to help fund the work of a marine biologist. Corporate sponsorship opportunities are available. “To solve such a gigantic problem, it has to be a community effort,” Andersen declared. “Everybody can do it collectively.” He is optimistic that humanity can save the coral reefs and that the aquarium’s efforts will make a difference. “We’re just dedicated,” he said. “We’re going to do everything we can to make this work.” Loveland Living Planet Aquarium is located at 12033 Lone Peak Parkway in Draper.

DURING FIREWORKS SEASON
I
ndependence Day is a day (and night) to celebrate the birth of our nation. There’s watching parades, enjoying backyard barbecues and, of course, igniting fireworks. Fireworks. There’s lots of them here, especially with July 24, Pioneer Day, also being a holiday where fireworks play a major entertainment role. In makes for month full of blasts, bangs, whizzes, and sparkly colors lighting up the dark. But the joys of fireworks come with risks. To avoid accidents (or even death), here’s a few tips to remember as you and neighbors prepare to celebrate your state and country. • Recent legislation passed in Utah limits the days of the year allowed to light fireworks. Only light fireworks during those days in accordance with the newly passed law. • Check with your city to determine what areas allow fireworks. Cities such as Sandy and Herriman have decreased the areas that permit fireworks. • Know your fireworks. Read cautionary labels and performance descriptions before igniting. • Don’t get fancy. While it may be tempting to be creative and construct your own fireworks, the results may not be worth it.

• Responsible adults should not only be present, but should supervise closely. Never give fireworks to small children. • Alcohol and fireworks does not make a good cocktail. Save your alcohol for after the show. • Light one firework at a time and don’t linger. Fireworks look just as pretty from 30 feet away as they do from five. • This one may seem obvious, but fireworks should be shot outside, not inside. • Dress appropriately. Loose clothing that can catch fire easily should be left in the drawer, while snugly fitted long sleeves and pants can protect from potential burns. • Always have a bucket of water and charged water hose nearby. • Never shoot fireworks into metal or glass containers. The ricochet hurts just as much. • Dispose of spent fireworks by wetting them down and place in metal trash can away from any building or combustible materials. • Don’t forget about your pets. Make sure they are securely indoors and have identification tags in case they do escape during a fireworks display. l

COMCAST INTERNET ESSENTIALS

When it comes to having internet
access at home, a new analysis of Census data shows significant disparities in Utah communities. This is of particular concern given the looming summer break, which studies show often results in significant, detrimental summer learning loss – particularly for low-income children. Access to the internet is an essential learning tool on our technology-driven era, making internet access at home an important part of the solution to combat summer learning loss. Utah ranks top-five for share of homes with internet subscriptions. However, there are still some Utah communities who lag behind in access to at-home internet. Consider just 83 percent of house-
holds in Salt Lake County have in-home internet service. Which means many students will head into summer break without the resources to engage in learning opportunities over the summer. Unequal access to information technology creates disparities in educational, social and economic achievement. That’s why Comcast works to ensure the students who are less likely to have internet at home can access the Internet Essentials program. Internet Essentials offers high speed Internet for just $9.95 + tax per month, low-cost computer equipment, and a variety of free digital learning resources. Comcast works to give every student the opportunity to succeed in Utah is rooted in the understanding
that unequal access to information technology creates disparities in educational, social and economic achievement. That’s why Internet Essentials is available to residents in a Comcast service area who have a child eligible for free or reduced school lunch. And, for those who attend a school where 40 percent or more of the population receives free or reduced lunch, the entire school is eligible for the program. Click here to learn more. Here are some additional ideas to combat summer learning loss and promote learning year-round: •Local library districts in Utah offer engaging summer reading programs for kids of all ages. Contact your neighborhood branch for a schedule of activities.
•The Comcast Internet Essentials Learning Center has a variety of educational tools, including links to free, high-quality e-learning courses for children and adults. •Many websites that offer quality, free educational content for kids. Some good options include PBS Kids, FunBrain, National Geographic Kids, Starfall, NASA Kids’ Club, HowStuffWorks.com, and others. •Kahn Academy is a free resource that offers practice exercises and instructional videos in a variety of subject areas, at every academic level.

Draper Historical Society looks back at July 24th celebrations of yesteryear By Katherine Weinstein | katherine@mycityjournals.com
I
n the days before automobiles, making the 20-mile trip to Salt Lake City from Draper in a horse-drawn wagon was an arduous, allday affair. Many made the long journey in the summer heat just to experience the Pioneer Days Parade and festivities that took place every year on July 24. By the early 1900s, however, the growing community of Draper decided to hold their own celebration, which eventually evolved into a series of special events known today as Draper Days. The history of how the city of Draper has celebrated the 24th of July over the decades is the subject of this year’s Historical Society Heritage Banquet and Draper History Presentation, which will be held on Wednesday, July 17, at 6 p.m. at Willow Springs Elementary School. Draper Historical Society encourages all members of the community to attend the heritage banquet. “You don’t have to be a longterm resident of Draper to appreciate it,” said board member Brent Miller of the event. “It would be great to have you come and learn about our history.” The banquet is the main annual event put on by the Draper Historical Society, which also maintains the museum at 1054 Pioneer Road in Draper. Miller, who joined the board in 2016, has enjoyed attending many of the
banquets and presentations over the years. Recent topics presented at the heritage banquets have included the history of the poultry industry in Draper and Draper residents who played key roles in the history of aviation. Presenter Doug Ballard described this year’s presentation as “a time capsule of July 24th celebrations.” His talk will begin with a brief history of the holiday known for many years in Draper as, simply, “the 24th,” but will also include his own reminiscences of the festivities. As Ballard researched his subject, the earliest reference to a July 24th celebration in Draper he found dates back to 1904 when the community organized a parade and put on a theatrical reenactment of a fierce battle between settlers and Native Americans. By the early 1950s, the events that comprised the 24th began to look a little more like the celebrations of more recent memory. The parade was a mainstay with ever-more elaborate floats. The first Queen of Draper was crowned in 1946. Fireworks displays, initially put on by the volunteer fire department, started in the early 1950s. The horse pull became part of the festivities around that time as well. In the Draper Historical Society’s collection, a flyer for the Draper 24th Celebra-

Corner Canyon boys tennis third best in state By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

or the first time in program history, the Corner Canyon High boys tennis team qualified all five varsity positions for the state tournament and placed third as a team May 18 at Liberty Park. “We had a really good season,” head coach Mykel Seeborg said. “It was a good run.” “We proved ourselves as one of the top teams in the state, and it was a lot of fun being able to watch all of my teammates compete so well,” senior Max Roberts said. At No. 1 doubles, Roberts and senior Drew Osbourne went into the tournament as the top doubles team in the state and wanted to make sure they got past the first round where the duo stumbled last spring. This year, they defeated Highland’s Will Olsen/ Isaac Brickely 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 in the first round, Wasatch’s Trevor Bond/Carson Clark 6-4, 6-4 in the quarterfinals and Olympus’ Sawyer Peterson/Oscar Smith 4-6, 6-4, 6-1 in the semis to play in the finals where they lost to Skyline’s Gunner Woller/Sam Stewart 6-1, 6-2. “Me and Drew were able to prove that we are one of the best teams in the state,” Roberts said. “I am so thankful for the opportunity that I had to play with Drew for these last two years and am so happy for the way that we were able to end our senior seasons.”

In No. 3 singles, freshman Spencer Willes, who was the Region 7 champion, defeated Viewmont’s Isaak Getz 6-4, 6-1, Daniel Wilcox of Provo 6-3, 6-2 and Woods Cross’ Peter Richards 6-2, 6-2 before losing in the finals to Skyline’s Ethan Green 6-4, 6-1. “Reaching the finals was a great accomplishment for Trevor, Carson and Spencer,” Seeborg said. Also competing at state were the No. 2 doubles team of freshman Charlie Jenkins and junior Tyler Easton — who were also Region 7 champions. They defeated Wasatch’s Benn Hilliam/Jared Bennion 6-3, 6-0, Highland’s Abraham Toronto/Will Dale 7-6, 6-3 in the first two rounds to match up with Olympus’ Milo Headden/Chuck Nadauld in the semifinals where they lost 6-4, 6-3. Junior Jensen Rideout, at No. 1 singles, reached the second round by defeating Highland’s Jake Bauman 6-3, 6-0 before losing to Woods Cross’ Spencer Johnson 6-0, 6-1. Sophomore Tristan Buckner, playing at No. 2 singles, also made it to round 2 with a win over Skyridge’s Brock Golding 6-1, 6-4 and then losing in the quarterfinals to Woods Cross’ Holden Iverson 7-6, 6-2. “Our success starts at the top and sets a precedent for our younger kids,” Seeborg said.

“In the end, we left it all on the court and we all played at a high level,” Buckner said. “I think we should be proud with our run, even if it wasn’t as long as it could have been.” The Chargers finished second in Region 7, which is “about how we thought we would end up,” according to Seeborg. “I knew we were going to be a pretty strong team and right there in the mix,” he said. “This tennis season was a great success,” Roberts said. “We had a very solid, young team with a lot of very good players. We all improved and learned so much throughout the season and were able to grow close as a team.” Also on the 2019 Corner Canyon squad
this season were Tyler Burraston, Brandon Cutler, Cooper England, Jacob Farnsworth, Gray Jackson, Patrick Holmes, Cameron McDonald, Bryce Nestman, Cody Shipman, Aiden Smith, Connor Snow, Dylan Squire and Nate Wineagar. “We played out of our minds this year to beat Timpview who is an amazing team,” Buckner said. “Last year we were barely able to even compete with some of these teams; this year we were able to rival and even beat some of them. It was a great year for Charger tennis.” “Our program is moving in that right direction and our players are getting experience,” Seeborg said. “Looking ahead to the future makes me excited for next season.” l

Chestnut Pines offers ancient grains for modern-day health By Linnea Lundgren | linnea.lundgren@mycityjournals.com
I
f he were here today, Joseph Neilson, Draper’s first school teacher, would be proud of what’s happened to his 1902 home and farmstead on Fort Street. “I believe he would have wanted this house to be used for education,” said Jessica Smith, who along with her mother, Amy, have lovingly and painstakingly transformed Neilson’s home into Chestnut Pines, a cafe, bakery, botanical shop and educational center focused on showing how sprouted ancient grains, naturally fermented sourdough and garden herbs can sustain good health — and taste delicious, too. For both mother and daughter, incorporating ancient grains and sourdough into their diet is a labor of love and a way of life. Health problems nearly devastated both of their lives — Jessica was forced to quit school after her kidneys shut down due to Lyme disease and Amy had suffered from painful skin rashes since childhood. In an effort to change their health, they spent years educating themselves in nutritional therapy and different healing practices. What helped their bodies heal, the Smiths said, was a diet rich in natural foods as well as the power of prayer. Now they want to use their knowledge and their baking skills to help others. “God created the earth and brought forth food that we need to nourish and strengthen our bodies,” said Amy. But, she understands that nourishing foods like spelt, millet and
other ancient grains are not only foreign to most Americans, but can be difficult or too time consuming to properly prepare and incorporate into one’s diet. That’s where Chestnut Pines comes in. “We like to say that we’ll either teach it to you or make it for you,” Jessica said. At the heart of Chestnut Pines is the cafe featuring breakfast items like sourdough waffles and sprouted grain pancakes — familiar items made with ancient grains that illustrate how they can appeal to modern-day tastes. And, if people want to learn about fermentation or cooking with ancient grains, they offer classes. “We can change our diet with healthy foods, full of nutrients that taste good,” Jessica said. Overall, they focus on seasonal, locally sourced, organic foods — nutritiously dense soups for keeping the body warm in winter and cleansing, light and reenergizing foods, such as berries, for the spring. “It is back to the basics,” said Amy. “It is how people have eaten for thousands of years — seasonally and organically.” Currently, only breakfast is served, but come summer, they’ll offer smoothies and homemade ice cream. Lunch will be offered later in the year. The bakery features ancient spelt bread and cocao chocolate chip cookies, made from sprouted organic Khorasan wheat. On Saturdays, Redmond Farms’ Raw Milk
Truck arrives to sell raw milk, free-range eggs, grass-fed beef and kombucha. Balancing good physical health with good mental health is also important to the Smiths. In warmer months, they offer sunrise and candlelight yoga on the lawn. “It’s a great chance to be barefoot in the grass, have the sun shine on you and look up at the mountains,” Amy said. Amy and Jessica, along with help from Draper resident Bob Bradshaw, spent several years restoring Neilson’s two-story brick home at 12825 South Fort Street, taking care to preserve the home’s welcoming sunlit interior. They’ve accented the cafe with antiques including a blue barn door from a Draper farm and a working vintage radio. Outside, they’ve kept Neilson’s dairy barn and the farm yard, which includes an herb garden designed for educating cooks. “If we can touch, feel and smell herbs, than we can better learn how to use them,” Amy said. The Smiths, both Draper residents, did extensive nutritional and menu research before opening Chestnut Pines and learned that they’re the only cafe in the United States serving dishes exclusively made from sprouted ancient grains and naturally fermented sourdough. “You truly can’t go anywhere else to eat (that offers such a selection),” Jessica said. “It is a one-of-a-kind experience right here in Draper.”
The mother and daughter team of Amy and Jessica Smith have opened a unique cafe and shop in a historic home on Fort Street. (Linnea Lundgren/City Journals)

Golf JOURNAL A golf publication covering recreational and competitive golf for men, women, and children in the Salt Lake Valley
Mick Riley: Utah’s Mr. Golf By Shaun Delliskave | s.delliskave@mycityjournals.com What is the only golf course in Utah named after an actual professional golfer? If you said Jeremy Ranch or Nibley Park, try again. That distinction belongs to Mick Riley Golf Course, named after the man known as the “Dean of Utah Golfers.”
While the Murray course is always busy, most people have forgotten or don’t even know about Riley. Also, contrary to many high school golf team rumors, Mr. Riley is not buried by the clubhouse (he is buried in Mount Calvary Cemetery, although he probably wouldn’t have complained had he been buried at a golf course). Born in 1897 in Burke, Idaho, Joseph Michael (Mick) Riley found his way to Utah. There weren’t many options for linksters when Riley was taking up the sport in the 1910s. At the time, Forest Dale had a hitching post for golfer’s horses. Riley learned golf by caddying at the Salt Lake Country Club, being mentored by notable golfers such as George Von Elm, several years his junior. Von Elm, who grew up in Utah and California, and with Riley as his caddie, took on one of the preeminent golfers of the day, Bobby Jones (who would later found the Masters Golf Tournament). Von Elm became the first golfer from west of the Mississippi River to win a major tournament, and he not only instilled in Riley a passion for golf but exposed him to some of the best golf courses in America. Like a duck to water, Riley’s experience, plus winning an occasional tournament, helped to secure his position as the first head professional at Nibley Park Golf Course. According to sportswriter Bill Johnston, there were only 122 active golfers in Salt Lake City at the time. For the uninitiated, a professional at a golf course is someone who makes their living from teaching the game, running golf clubs and classes, and dealing in golf equipment. An adroit golf pro, Riley earned the
DraperJournal .com
praises of the Salt Lake Telegram at the end of Nibley Park’s first season in 1922. “The work of Professional Riley at the course is worthy of special commendation. It was Riley’s job to develop interest and get the golfers out. He did.” Not only did he get the golfers to come out, he developed a course championship, several tournaments, and high school matches. He developed greens and challenging hazards; he also developed aspiring golfers and advocated the sport to women. It was this latter undertaking that led Mick to meet his wife, Estella at one of his classes. Utah’s most enthusiastic golf cheerleader would do anything to bring people to experience the game. Even winter was no match for Riley, who opened one of the first indoor golf ranges in downtown Salt Lake in 1930. The Telegram reported that by 1947, 80 percent of all Utah golfers were, at one time, a pupil of Riley’s. His green design skills were in high demand, as he helped plan courses in Magna, Tooele, Richfield, Moab, Indian Springs, and American Falls, Idaho, as well as Salt Lake’s Bonneville Golf Course. He also revamped the Nibley Park and Forest Dale courses. However, his passion project was Meadowbrook on 3900 South, which he designed and managed until his death. His progressive thinking led to the establishment of a day care center at Meadowbrook, so that young mothers could take up the game. After forming the Utah Golf Association, Riley was elected as vice president of the National PGA and served for three years. He also served on several national PGA committees. He was president of the Rocky Mountain Section of the PGA and Golf Professional of the Year in 1955 for the Rocky Mountain Section. During the 1960s, he was asked to design the Little Valley Golf Course off of Vine Street in Murray. However, his death in
1964 prevented him from ever teeing off at the course. That honor was given to Estella, his wife, and their children at the newly christened Mick Riley Golf Course in 1967. Riley was also posthumously honored as a member of the Utah Golf Hall of Fame. Perhaps the Salt Lake Telegram summed up Riley best, “The story of Mickey Riley is the story of golf in Utah, for without him many of the municipal courses that have made golf available to the ‘working man’ might not be.” l

• 1970s – Westland changes owners and becomes the Valair Country Club • 1977 – Cecil Bohn assumes principal ownership, after Grant Affleck lost the course • 2015 – Bohn passes away; remaining owners’ irreconcilable differences lead to court dissolution of the property, to be sold to highest
bidder • 2015 – The golf course property was zoned A-1, entitling subdivisions of one-acre, single-family lots • 2017 - SoJo golf patriots lobby for an alternative solution • 2017 – Upon learning of the owner’s intention to develop the land, the South Jordan City Council, in a 4-1 vote, votes to delay a building permit or a change in zoning thwarting the developer’s stated intention • A private buyer sticks the landing and purchases Glenmoor (the audience in SoJo City Council Chambers cheered, upon hearing the news)
PGA Junior Golf fits Glenmoor to a tee
And that takes us to right now — high golf season, a late-starting, green-grass summer, on the heels of the wettest spring on record. And just as spring signals rebirth and summer joy, Glenmoor is in its newfound salad days, with its junior golf program to thank. Taking a page from Bubba Watson’s 2012 Masters’ clinch, Olsen tears up, telling the South Jordan Journal just how “awesome” the kids in her program are and how things at Glenmoor have “turned out better than I could have hoped.” This is a woman who loves — no lives — golf, and apparently, has a community behind her that feels the same way. As part of the Warren Report YouTube video, SoJo City Councilman Don Shelton recounts that his inviting SoJo Mayor Dawn Ramsey and his other colleagues to watch one of the junior league tournaments at Glenmoor influenced the Council’s decision to ultimately rezone the land to keep it from being developable. “It was very impressive to them, to see all of the young people that were out on the golf course, hitting golf balls and recreating in the outdoors, instead of being inside, playing video games,” Shelton asserted on-air. “Mayor Ramsey, thank you for saving our golf course,” young Warren tells Mayor Dawn Ramsey, who also appears in the video.

Utah golf families: ‘THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!
There are quite a few golf dads around. And golf moms. Devin estimates Utah has “about five to 10” prominent golf families. Back in 1989, the “Los Angeles Times” ran a story with a San Diego dateline and a headline style vaguely reminiscent of prominence given to “WAR!” in newspaper headlines chronicling the outbreak of World War I. Only this time, the exclamation point was reverent appreciation for a prominent Utah golf family. “THEY’RE EVERYWHERE!: Utah’s Summerhays Families Put 11 Golfers in Tournament,” the headline read. “They are the Summerhays entourage, 11 golfers from two related families plus a supporting cast of five,” writer Jim Lindgren gushed. The Summerhays family, from the Farmington area, today continues to be prominent in golfing headlines with Preston Summerhays, Lynn Summerhays’s grandson, holding a Utah State Amateur title and being “one of the best juniors in the country.” The Branca family is another storied Utah golf clan. The Salt Lake Country Club provided a lasting monument to the late H.T. “Tee” Branca, naming a bridge patterned after Augusta National’s famous 12th hole after the late PGA golf pro. Branca lived until age 92, In 2015, when Ron Branca, Tee’s son, retired as head pro from the Salt Lake Country Club, Joe Watts of the Utah Golf Association (UGA) mourned “the end of the Branca era.” The father and son, combined, headed golf for the club more than 75 years. Ron Branca now works with

Darci Olsen at Glenmoor. His brother, Don, is also a PGA professional, according to Devin Dehlin. Glenmoor’s happily golf-obsessed Darci Olsen, who used to go by the name Darci Dehlin-Olsen, has now dropped the hyphenated part of her name, a loss of a powerful asset, according to brother Devin Dehlin. You can take the hyphen out of the name, but not the golf out of the girl, who UGA writer Beaux Yenchik reports, as a pony-tailed bouncy blonde youth, drew a picture of herself playing golf for a career day at her elementary school. l

Spectacular views of Stonebridge Golf Club make a day on the green even more spectacular. Stand for Kind’s 128 supportive golfers raised $50,000 for the anti-bullying charity. (Stonebridge Golf Club)
Golf Etiquette Makes For Perfect Green Carpet for Anti-Bullying Fund-Raising Event at Stonebridge By Jennifer J. Johnson | j.johnson@mycityjournals.com The Professional Golfers’ Association Kind “actually goes out into the schools (PGA) asserts that golf teaches young and tells kids in schools about tools available to them (to help stop the problem),” people “life’s most valuable skills.” While the PGA does not specifically call out “no bullying,” that concept is a given in the sportsmanlike-play of the 15th-century game still. Such sport made perfect sense as a fund raiser for an anti-bullying education group, “Stand for Kind,” to leverage the sport for one of its annual fundraising activities.
Making a positive difference in the persistent problem of bullying
Stand for Kind, founded by well-connected businessman and recreational golfer Stan Parrish, is a group of business, community and education leaders who have come together to make a positive difference in the persistent problem of bullying. Instead of just preaching about the ills and dangers of bullying — what Parrish dubs “calling attention to it” — Stand for
Page 22 | July 2019
Parrish said. “We reinforce positive behavior.” Realizing that its initial name—“The Anti-Bullying Coalition” was having the unintentional effect of emphasizing the very concept of bullying, so in an anti-Voldemort-like move, the organization changed its name and its web URL to the new, empowering name which is also a directive for youth — “Stand for Kind.” It’s a message that’s “much better to come, student to student, versus counselor to student,” Parrish said. “A student can see another student sitting by themselves, we encourage them to go sit with them, to let them know they are wanted.” With this as its model, the nonprofit instructs K-12 students — nearly 300,000 across the state — about how to combat bullying through kindness.
The second-annual Stand for Kind charity golf tournament awarded generous sponsor prizes, for “longest drive,” “straightest drive,” “closest to the hole,” and the “hole-in-one” completion. The Larry H. Miller dealership put up a Toyota SUV for the hole-in-one, but did not have to pay it out. (Stand for Kind)
Making bullying whiff through overwhelming, omnipresent acts of kindness – and 18 holes!
and then, later, the Sandy chambers of commerce. “This is just one event, but it’s a very good event,” he told the City Journals. “People appreciate that and support it.” Parrish is right. The 128 golfers comprising 32 foursomes raised $50,000 for Stand for Kind. All who enjoyed what the Stand for Kind public relations team deemed “a sunny West Valley City morning” were winners in terms of a great day for golf. Individual winners were determined in categories including “longest drive,” “straightest drive,” “closest to the hole,” and the “hole-in-one” completion. The Larry H. Miller Dealerships even put up a Toyota SUV to anyone landing a hole-in-one. Sadly, would-be SUV drivers will have to up their drives to land the ace. There’s always next year, kind golfers.
More than 30,000 incidents and nearly 20,000 incidents of cyber-bullying are, slowly, but surely getting drowned out by what Stand for Kind reports as more than 900,000 identified, “random acts of kindness,” said Pam Hayes, director of the Stand for Kind organization. Stand for Kind is having immediate, traceable impact. “We were able to prevent 55 suicides,” reported Hayes. Her message to those participating in the May 31 golf tournament, the second annual such event, is: “We will do even more.” “A lot of people like to play golf and a lot of people like to do good and contribute… so why not combine the two?” Parrish said. Parrish knows a lot of people. In his previous life, the storied busi- l nessman has led both the Salt Lake Area,

Corner Canyon High student’s environmentally friendly pencil may be placed on the market By Julie Slama | julie@mycityjournals.com
T
his summer, as many high school students may be working summer jobs, Corner Canyon High sophomore Kellen Hullinger will be working on developing an idea to launch into his own business. As a freshman last school year, Hullinger saw the opportunity to compete in the High School Utah Entrepreneur Challenge and jumped at the opportunity. “I had this idea in the back of my head for an environmentally friendly pencil that is redesigned for greater use of both the pencil as well as the eraser and developed it,” he said. Hullinger identified the problem, which was students casting off the pencil before it was fully used, mainly because the eraser would be spent. His solution: to introduce the Full-Use Pencil, where students could pull a little tab off to reveal more eraser attached in the metal housing. “A lot of kids write with a No. 2 pencil, so there is a target market; the eraser just needs to be extended,” he said. “Right now, there’s not that much eraser with the pencil, so our existing pencil is just not practical.” Through his research, Hullinger learned that 300,000 pencils are made from a single tree, yet of the 14 billion pencils manufactured, half are thrown away. “That’s seven billion pencils, or 23,000 trees worth of wood, that is being discarded. I want to make my pencil more efficient and reduce that impact on our forests,” he said. While his product is “mainly conceptual,” this summer Hullinger wants to make it scale and approach manufacturers. Hullinger said he has been interested in science since he was young, having competed in science fair in sixth grade in astrophysics, and combining that with entrepreneurship has become appealing. “I’m fascinated by the universe and learning about black holes and Stephen Hawking. I have an interest in math and theater and music, in guitar. I am planning to write a book and already have been writing songs every week. I love to do anything and everything and am always acquiring as much knowledge as possible,” he said. The 2019 High School Utah Entrepreneur Challenge received almost 300 student business-idea submissions from high school students throughout

the state. High School Utah Entrepreneur Challenge student director Kearsa Hodgson was impressed with the finalists. “The teams this year showed exemplary drive and passion throughout all their ideas,” she said. “They identified problems in the community around them and were proactive in developing innovative solutions. It is amazing to see what students can accomplish.” Hullinger’s idea was recently honored as one of the top 20 finalists in the High School Utah Entrepreneur Challenge. He advanced to the final round, where he got the chance to pitch his
idea to judges, made up of many influential community leaders. “The judges were interested in the idea, but I think they were looking for projects that made more of a human impact,” he said. “Still, I had fun and met a lot of people of like mind.” As a finalist, Hullinger received $100. It also inspired him to compete again. “I have three more years to take a crack at this,” he said. “I love doing competitions and have a really strong work ethic. I have ideas to share, but I know I also have to be prepared, have a prototype and show my passion about my project.” l

his summer, Channing Hall fifth-grader Lily Worthley may spend the summer curled up with a good book — one of the books students read as part of America’s Battle of the Books for their school competition this past spring. “I read all the books but five, and want to read the rest this summer,” Lily said. “I really liked ‘The Mysterious Benedict Society.’ It was suspenseful, happy and sad at the same time. I really liked reading some of the books I never even knew existed and competing on the same team as my best friend.” Most of Channing Hall’s third- through fifth-grade students took part in the school’s first Battle of the Books challenge, said thirdgrade teacher Kristin Brown. “The purpose is to encourage students to read good books and have fun while competing with their peers,” she said. Leading up to the battle, students were placed in teams of about five students within their own grade to compete. Each student was to read four of the books assigned, but they could read more of the books on the list to help their team. Then, similar to the “Family Feud” television show, the teams would answer comprehensive questions about the book by naming the book and author. The teams with the most points at the end of the battle moved on to the next round until the final round determined the grade-level winner. Nine-year-old Watson Carr was one of the few students who read all 20 books. “I wanted to read all of the books; I wanted the challenge,” he said, adding that by reading them, he knew all the answers and could help his team win. “Reading is fun and it takes me on adventures. I’ve learned about different authors and writing styles, such as Kate DiCamillo is more detailed, JK Rowling has more action and Rick Riordan is more suspenseful.” Parent Michele Brinkerhoff, who served
as a judge, had her third-grade son, Ryan, and sixth-grade daughter, Ava, compete. “My son loves reading and he read all the books, and it’s great for him to discover all the different genres,” she said. “My daughter is thinking outside the box and learning different perspectives and emotions of the characters from the books she read. I like how this is healthy and friendly competition. The students practice their public speaking skills by being able to stand up and answer the question and also, learn how to work as a team. They’re learning to respect others’ opinions and celebrate together. I think this is a good way to let every kid shine.” Students who competed in the Battle of the Books were given a lanyard and as they read books, they were able to place a pin with the book cover on their lanyard as a memento of their reading accomplishments. Students who read all 20 books on the list as well as those teams who won were celebrated in a school assembly. But the real success story is students picking up more books, including different genres than they usually read, said Channing Hall librarian Missy Badberg. “This is getting them excited to read books, some they may not pick up otherwise,” she said. “They’re paying attention to titles and authors and will help them springboard into more reading. Many students are excited to read the rest of the list this summer and are taking part in summer reading challenges.” Bringing Battle of the Books to Channing Hall was Brown’s idea. “I love it because I’m big on books and it increases our reading comprehension,” she said. “Our kids can get stuck just reading one kind of book, but now they’re opening their minds to others. Books can teach them so much about the world. I’m hoping to do it again next year as so many of our students are excited about reading more books.” l

Juan Diego girls lacrosse wins state; Corner Canyon finishes second By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com
T
he Juan Diego Catholic High School girls lacrosse team won the Division II state title defeating Corner Canyon 12-10, marking its second title in the past four years. The Soaring Eagle squad were coached by Sage Johnson, who had just had a baby the week before.
Juan Diego
Juan Diego got off to a great start on both sides of the field. Senior All-Region midfielders Ryan Stolfa and Lexi Moratalla both scored three goals in the first half to help the Soaring Eagle to a 7-5 lead at the break. Corner Canyon scored two goals in the final few minutes of the first half to go down by just two goals and then the Chargers’ Kiah Muramoto knotted the score at 7-all with two quick goals in the second half. With 10 minutes left in the game, the score was again tied 9-9 and then Ella Candage’s two goals toward the end of the game secured the twogoal win for Juan Diego. Moratalla’s four goals were tops offensively for the Soaring Eagle Squad with Stolfa adding three. “They are our ‘Stockton to Malone’ in our midfield attack,” assistant coach Shaun Judd said. “They are rock stars.” Also scoring in the title game were Candage with two goals, All-Region attacker Gabby Horner, two goals, and Chloe Redican, one goal. All-Region defender Kylie Furukawa, who was also recognized as All-Academic, led the way for “one of the strongest defense in the state,” according to Judd. Judd noted the chemistry that senior Paige Cameron and freshmen Chance Srey, Caroline Arceneaux and Nola Christensen built throughout the season was a “huge influence” on the year while Horner and Redican were key with Arceneaux on the attack. Juan Diego began the season with a loss
offs. From there, the Soaring Eagle squad defeated Pleasant Grove and Skyline to reach the title game with Corner Canyon. Also playing for the 2018-19 program were seniors Kelly Blaber, Hailey Gutierrez, Hailey Hilliard, Maria Pastrana and Chloe Thompson; junior Virginia Kelly; sophomores Cassidy Azarcon, Isy Castellano, Haylee Covington, Eeliana Moreno, Ana Rico, Ariadne Sanchez, Vivian Schuman, Kirsten Sumampong and Emily Werner; and freshmen Gracie Bathurst, Morgan Dawson, Teryn Easterbrook, Julia Hettinger, Kyra Hoffman, Kelsey Poulsen, Grace Poynor, Valeria Rico, Grace Sims, Rachel Strelow and Haley Welker. Johnson was assisted by Judd and Amanda Abraham this season.
Corner Canyon
Corner Canyon’s season began a bit rocky, according to first-year head coach Bergan McArdle, as they lost four of its first six games. “We had some internal issues that we had to deal with and a few games into the season; we had a huge sit-down talk and we started to then work as a team,” she said. In the playoffs, the Chargers defeated Weber 15-3 and Lehi 15-6 before losing to Juan Diego in the state final. All-Region attacker Simone Parker, along with Maddie Andrews and Kiah Muramoto, each scored three goals against the Soaring Eagle squad, while Sofia Chieco also had one goal. Andrews, Alexia Davis and Talia Anderl each recorded an assist in the title game. “Our teamwork during the final game began in the locker room before the matchup,” McArdle said. “I honestly thought we would come out on top, but Juan Diego played an awesome game. Even though we

Corner Canyon was led this season by their midfielders Chieco, who scored 25 goals, Muramoto, 20, and Andrews, 19, along with a team-high 12 assists. All-Region defender Alyssa Brown was also a key player for the Chargers this season. Also on the Corner Canyon squad this season were Lizzy Boyle, Camille Carr, Ella Cheminant, Madison Gastelo, Ashlyn Hiatt,
Malori Jones, Daisy Linford, Venice Lupus, Megan Mathews, Hope Mendenhall, Emily Moffat, Sage Peacock, Maggie Peo, Livi Smart and Madison Thomas. McArdle was assisted this season by fellow University of Utah lacrosse teammate Allison Liddle along with Maddie Ingman. l

Chargers boys track team best in state; girls third By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com
C
orner Canyon High junior Van Fillinger won the 5A state shot put title May 18 at Brigham Young University to help lead the Chargers boys squad to the team championship. His throw of 50-03.50 beat out Timpview’s Macmillion Aoloisio, who scored a 49-10. The 4x400 relay team of Harrison Taggart, Noah Kjar, Jake Orr and Alex Robertson took second place in the final event of the meet to secure the title for Corner Canyon. “The track title was really a team effort,” CCHS Athletic Director Patrick Thurman said. “We had great contributions across the board, from our throwers to our distance runners to the speedsters and relays.” Junior Mark Boyle placed third in the 1600 meters, fourth in the 3200 meters and fifth in the 800 meters to score some key points for the Chargers. Other top finishers for the boys squad were the second-place sprint medley relay team of Cody Hagen, Cole Hagen, Noah Kjar, Caleb Johnson, Kasey Hong and Alex Harbertson, the second-place 4x100 relay squad of Cody Hagen, Cole Hagen, Taggart, Kjar, August Jacobs and Hong, Rafael Erickson (third, high jump), Jonah Strong (fourth, shot put), Harbertson (fourth, 800 meters; fifth, 1600 meters), Johnson (fifth, 3200 meters; seventh, 1600 meters), Orr (sixth, 800 meters) and

Taggart (sixth, 200 meters). “We have a great coaching staff, with coaches Moody, Kjar, Pickering and Sutera all working with the boys,” Thurman said. “The coaches create a fun environment. We get around 100 boys that came out for track and field, and together they all make it work. The exciting thing is we are just getting started.

S
ummer’s a gardener’s dream. There’s tilling and weeding and snipping and getting your hands dirty in God’s green earth. Here are things that give me hives: tilling, weeding, snipping, getting my hands dirty. For someone who LOVES meditation, you’d think gardening would be a slam dunk, and every year I TRY REALLY HARD to fall in love with planting flowers and communing with the weeds growing in the driveway cracks. But I can’t do it. My husband is enthralled with all things horticulturey. As soon as grass is visible under the melting snow, he’s counting the days until he can get out in the yard to shape the shrubbery and tame the flower beds. There were even tears in his eyes as he watched our little granddaughter blow dandelion seeds all over the backyard. He was so touched. This man who’s so impatient he can’t drive to Harmons without yelling at a dozen drivers is suddenly in the flower bed, calmly pulling one small weed at a time. He spends HOURS grooming our gnarled landscaping. Whereas, I, can sit in silence for a long time (just ask him), but yard work pisses me off. I get agitated, short-tempered and grumpy each time he drags me outside to help. He’ll make pleasant conversation while we’re weeding and it’s all I can do to not snip his pinky finger off with gardening shears. Hubbie: It’s so wonderful to work outside.

Me: Yep. Hubbie: Doesn’t it feel like heaven? Me: Nope. Hubbie: Why are you so crabby? Me: *sharpening my garden shovel* I’ll chip away for 30 minutes with my pick axe to plant a petunia, or use some C-4 to blast a spot for geraniums. I break three fingernails, bruise my knees, tangle my headphones in the barberry bush, make up new swear words and jump 27 times as earthworms wriggle out of the dirt, scaring the bejewels out of me. There’re also spiders dropping down my shirt, ants crawling up my pants, bees buzzing around my eyeballs and millipedes tap dancing across the back of my hand. Good grief, Mother Nature, get a grip! It wouldn’t be so bad if everything would just COOPERATE. If I could pull weeds once and be done, that would be great. If every flower grew back every summer, I’d be so happy. Just, nature is so unreliable! We have a tree that goes into shock each summer and sends shooters sprouting up all over the lawn. It’s so sneaky. How can you trust something that tries to clone itself every time you turn around? We contacted a tree therapist since our aspen obviously had some unaddressed PTSD. We were told to plant a friend for our tree. Now we have a freakedout tree and a BFF shrub who doesn’t seem to be doing much of anything. My husband puts me to shame. He looks

forward to mowing lawns. His idea of fun is shopping for gardening tools at Lowe’s. He tracks the effectiveness/frequency of our sprinklers. He’s excited to buy fertilizer. My idea of yard work is pulling my pants up to my armpits, sitting on the porch with a cold drink and a novel, and yelling at teenage hoodlums to get off my lawn. I really do appreciate all his hard work. I’m truly glad he finds gardening therapeutic. I really hope he never expects me to prune the rose bush. I’m grateful he does the tilling and weeding and snipping and getting his hands dirty in God’s green earth. I’d help, but I have hives. l
