FREE FROM ACTIVIST TO MAYOR: MONICA ZOLTANSKI’S LONG ROAD TO CITY HALL By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

here will be a new face at the head of Sandy City’s executive branch starting this month, after Monica Zoltanski managed to beat out a crowded field of candidates by the narrowest of margins in November’s election. Thanks to a state law passed earlier in the year, multiple cities across Utah had the chance to try out ranked choice voting, a method that allows an entire field of candidates to advance to a general election and have voters rank them. The results are then tallied in a way that allows each voters’ preferences to be represented in a holistic, rather than binary, way. Additionally, former Mayor Kurt Bradburn’s decision to not seek re-election meant that this would be Sandy’s first mayoral election without an incumbent in decades. These two factors combined to produce an election race unlike any other in the history of Utah, (at least at the municipal level). Four current city councilor members entered the race (Zoltanski being one of them). Another former city council member threw their hat in the ring, as well as a city council staffer. Finally there was Jim Bennett, a local businessman (and son of former U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett). From among that field of candidates, Zoltanski emerged with a 21-vote margin of victory, barely beating out Bennett. Zoltanski credited the close victory with her persistence and determination, as she continued knocking on doors all the way up to election day. “With so many people in the race, I knew to win it, what was going to make the difference is the personal conversations at the door. And I never lost that focus,” she said.

It was a fitting campaign strategy for a candidate who first entered the public spotlight in Sandy city as a grassroots organizer. Open space activism Given everything that has transpired since then, the year 2017 kind of seems like an eternity ago. That’s when Zoltanski learned that Salt Lake County was planning to pave a three-mile stretch of trail within Dimple Dell Park. An avid equestrian and outdoor enthusiast, Zoltanski began organizing a campaign of opposition. She gathered signatures, made shirts and signs bearing slogans like, “Save, Not Pave,” and “Keep Dimple Dell Wild.” She spent hours walking through the park in the winter cold, talking with strangers and raising awareness of what the county was proposing. During this time, she started wearing a red cowboy hat to make herself more noticeable and recognizable during her activism efforts. Well, something about the hat stuck, and became a part of Zoltanski’s “brand” ever since. (It even featured prominently on her campaign signs). “I think it’s a symbol of grit and determination…that one voice can make a difference,” she said, about what the hat represents to people. That one voice did indeed make a difference (as well as the many other voices she added to her own) as then-Mayor Ben McAdams agreed to cancel the plan to pave the trail. Out of that initial victory was born the Dimple Dell PresContinued page 26

Students get a look into manufacturing principles, careers at Rock West Composites By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com

hat may look like a single layer of fabric may actually be several layers of alternating carbon fiber coated with resin to create a stable, yet pliable composite that is being used in manufacturing for tubing as well as many customized projects. That may have been what approximately 25 students from high schools in Canyons School District learned as it toured Rock West Composites in West Jordan on National Manufacturing Day. “They manufacture components made of carbon fiber, which is lighter than aluminum and stronger than steel,” said Christy Bond, Jordan High work-based learning coordinator who escorted the group that toured the facility. “They walked us through the cutting process, the molding process, and showed us the raw materials. Students got hands on to see what carbon fiber is like before the resin is added and then after the resin is added, how it becomes pliable and can turn into something super sturdy.” Bond said students also learned about thermal stressing where the material runs through “minus 30 to 280 degrees back and forth to stabilize that material, which they sometimes use for calibration of devices.” While the students learned the company does a lot of stock tubing, they also saw some of the customized items they made. “One of the cool things they make is a lightweight, portable X-ray machine, that…is able to use on football fields as well as Third World countries. Another cool thing they showed us was called the HANS (head and neck support) device; it’s a head and neck restraint device that’s used in Speedway racing,” Bond said, adding that they also discussed composite being used to manufacture bicycles, drones and other aerospace applications. “One of the kids thought that was really cool that you could use it to create pieces for auto design.” Students also had the chance to ask what other uses the company manufactures for (materials that are used in marine, energy and scientific purposes amongst others), about their careers as well as how they can prepare for the field. “The thing they said they like to emphasize is employability skills: how you have to be a hard worker, a good person and willing to learn,” she said, adding that

they trained people on-site. “They rotate people through the manufacturing, the purchasing, the office work so that they get a feel for the company.” While most of Jordan High’s students are taking the manufacturing principles course in the medical innovations pathway, the tour was open to any student who was interested in manufacturing. “All the manufacturing principles can be applied into when they eventually make their own medical devices” in the second term of the medical innovations pathway, she said. The year-long medical innovations pathway, which is housed at Jordan High, is open to any junior or senior. In the one-credit pathway, students who are interested in engineering or biomanufacturing learn the manufacturing process, learn the history of the industry, product development, operational structures and optimization,

Canyons District honors those who provide excellence, commitment, leadership

lta View Principal Scott Jameson called volunteer Dr. Allyn Kau, asking her to come to his office to talk rather than over the phone. Immediately, the mother wondered if something happened with her children, but she knew that they weren’t ones who get in trouble. Kau had volunteered at the school for five years and even had substituted so she couldn’t imagine why he needed to talk to her in-person. Nevertheless, she emailed him back and went into his office the next day. “He told me that he just got a notice from the (Canyons) Board (of Education) that I was chosen as the volunteer of the year,” she remembered. “I didn’t even know I was nominated.” Kau recently was honored as the Canyons School District’s 2021 Volunteer of Year Apex Award-winner. She was honored for her excellence, commitment and leadership along with other Apex recipients, including teacher of the year Traci Raymond, who recently retired from Alta High; school administrator of the year Tom Sherwood of Brighton High; district administrator of the year Steve Dimond; student support services professional of the year Amy Boettger; education support professionals of the year Rick Hoggard, Lorraine Miles and Jeff Wren; elected official of the year Rep. Andrew Stoddard; community partner of the year Scheels; and legacy award-winners former Canyons administrators Kathryn McCarrie and Karen Sterling. “Dr. Kau has been our PTA treasurer for several years; she’s been a substitute teacher whenever we’ve needed one. She’s here for career day, for our fun run, for every event. She’s been a driving force for our equity discussion for all kids; she has a Ph.D. and instead of working full time, she’s here volunteering,” Jameson said. “She’s been the individual who developed our summer reading program two years ago that is a collaborative effort between teachers and the Salt Lake County Library. If I ever need something, she’s immediately here, offering help. Dr. Kau is the heart of our school.” Kau deflects Jameson’s praise. “He’s always thanking people and doesn’t take the credit he deserves; everyone here is helping and deserves this recognition,” she said. “What I do is for all of them—the SCC (school community council), PTA, parents, teachers. I’m just shocked I’m being recognized when all I’m doing is trying to help everyone, many who are overwhelmed while working hard through the pandemic.” The reading program Kau developed stemmed from helping a former third-grade student with math. “The student couldn’t read the problem, but once it was read to the student, he could

By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com do it. That’s when I began to wonder what is he going to do next year. Reading affects all subjects and most schools only have reading K-3 interventionists. I knew I needed to find a way to help him otherwise he’d always struggle, and I also knew if there was one student struggling, there likely were more,” she said. With teachers already consumed by their workload, Kau took it upon herself to start outlining ideas. She attended a PTA conference where the Utah State Board of Education presented research about DYAD reading, which she was able to bring into her program outline. She also found out information from United Way and the Promise Partnership Third-Grade Elementary Reading Network. She also reached out to the Salt Lake County Library System. At the same time, Jameson had heard from a number of teachers about the need for a strong summer reading program after attending a training. He put Kau together with those teachers to see how her program could support their needs. Then, Kau coordinated with the Alta View librarian to see about opening the school library during the summer and gained the support of the PTA. “I know education has helped me and given me my life. If I can help these students and give them the confidence to succeed in the classroom, they can gain confidence and have what I have,” said Kau, who has her Ph.D. in physical therapy and who credits her mother for teaching her and her seven siblings how to read and supporting her education while growing up. “Everyone was willing to help and asked how they could support us.” While Kau continues to work one weekend per month, she knows volunteering can make a difference in people’s lives. “We all have different experiences, all the people we meet. By volunteering, it can help combat all the challenges we may be facing, the inequities there are, to give the best possible academic learning possible to everyone,” she said, adding that it was her mother who told her to be known around Alta View as Dr. Kau, so it will motivate students to inspire to achieve similar career goals. The reading program, also known as Roadrunners Read, completed its second summer in 2021 (after one year off during the COVID-19 summer of 2020). It has a partnership with a Salt Lake County librarian who presents a storytime around a theme and brings a literacy project for students to be engaged in come to the school library, which is open during the summer for students to check out books, sometimes two levels higher than grade level. DYAD reading is modeled to families and teachers contribute and are supportive of the reading program, she said.

“Mr. Jameson is willing to offer a way to help students by opening the school in the summer and the librarian welcomes students to the school library, teachers are supporting it, and we have support from the community; it’s all been huge to helping these students. It benefits the whole school; it benefits the neighborhood,” Kau said. “My name is on the award, and Mr. Jameson took the time

to do something kind even though he knows that I’m uncomfortable being in the limelight. It’s really an Alta View award. I’ve just crossed paths to help. To me, it has just been so inspiring to see how many people are wanting to help.” l

Harmons cashier flourishes in his job and gains hundreds of neighborhood fans By Heather Lawrence | h.lawrence@mycityjournals.com

n employee at Harmons grocery store on 672 E. 11400 S. had his own “It’s a Wonderful Life” moment on Dec. 6. Community members who shop there showed up to surprise and recognize a unique cashier, the ever-positive and friendly Chad Willoughby. “I was shocked at the response—we kind of just put this together, and about 25 people from the community showed up at Harmons to express their appreciation for Chad. They came after work, during dinner time—they made the time to recognize him. It’s the kind of warm fuzzy a lot of people need right now,” said Candee Allred, a Sandy resident who shops at the store and organized the impromptu gathering. Allred got the idea after another Sandy resident posted a comment on the Next Door app about Willoughby, who greets everyone he meets and is genuinely interested in striking up a conversation and helping them. “Be nice to Chad at Harmons. If you are ever in the checkout lane at Harmons off 114th and 7th and an employee named Chad is talking to you in a polite way, please be nice to him back! He’s just a genuinely nice person and talks to everyone that way,” wrote Christine Green. While Green didn’t write about any specific reason for the post, she did seem to allude to negative behavior from other shoppers. Green ended her initial post with a gentle reminder: “[Chad’s] colleagues are appreciative of his uplifting attitude and feel he deserves to be treated better by some people.” Green’s post on Nov. 20 set off a flurry of Next Door comments. It turned a community of virtual neighbors into friends, who

realized they all had something in common: they all appreciated Willoughby’s friendly attitude while shopping. “Chad is great! He is so forthcoming he can catch you off guard. But he is truly genuine and sincere,” wrote Richard Miller the same day as Green’s initial post. Another customer who had just checked out at Harmons and interacted with Willoughby added her appreciation. “I was just in Chad’s line and he is very excited for Thanksgiving. He’s uplifting every time!” wrote Leslie Wadsworth. Comments flooded the thread, and within 24 hours there were 98 comments acknowledging Willoughby specifically. Several called for more community kindness in general. Slowly, the idea of recognizing Willoughby publicly began to take shape. “I reached out to the store director at Harmons and asked if as a community we could give him some kind of recognition. He was more than willing to facilitate it,” Allred said. Allred posted her update on the app and let the community know that on Dec. 6 at 6 p.m. anyone who was available could gather in the eating area at Harmons to recognize Willoughby.

This wasn’t the first time a community rallied around Willoughby. Local news reports including the City Journals reported that in early 2020 Willoughby lost his job at Walmart in Taylorsville, where he was also a cashier for several years. Willoughby was a minor celebrity at the Walmart, and knew many of the customers who shopped there by name. Reports say that the problem happened when customers came through with items that wouldn’t scan, and Willoughby would put in a price without waiting for a manager. With customer service always his priority, he said in a news report, “I figured it was saving time, the customer was happy and I was doing my job.” Willoughby’s superiors didn’t see it the same way and figured that he had lost the store about $40 in revenue due to underpricing items. “I did not receive a warning, they did not come and say, ‘Chad, look, don’t do this anymore,’” and Willoughby lost his job at Walmart without further comment. Over 9,000 people took to Change.org and signed a petition to get Willoughby his job back, but at that point he was already interviewing and being offered jobs elsewhere.

A GoFundMe account raised nearly $6,000 to help him with the transition time between jobs. Fast forward nearly two years and customers at Harmons are now the beneficiaries of Willoughby’s job change. Allred said that Willoughby was very surprised by the recognition that evening, where she presented him with all the comments from the post about him. “We took some pictures and told him how much we appreciated him. It really was something that people needed; that 15-20 minutes of not being divisive and seeing a warm fuzzy. I think it was good for everyone and lifted everyone who was there,” Allred said. Allred was stopped by people who didn’t know about the event, but were there to shop and saw the signs. “‘Is this for Chad?’ people asked me. ‘We love him!’” Allred said. A Harmons employee from another store found Allred in the parking lot. She used a tablet to communicate because she was deaf. She didn’t know Willoughby personally, but had heard about him through the work grapevine. “She wrote on the pad that she came

clear across the valley to meet Chad because he was a fellow Harmons team member, and she loved what he was doing,” Allred said. One woman got teary as she told Willoughby that whenever she has a bad day, if she’s there at the store and goes through his line, he makes her day. Willoughby loved the recognition, mostly because it meant that he was doing right by his customers. “He was very touched. He said that he really appreciated what we were doing,” Allred said. But then he started to get antsy—he was still on the clock, after all, and he had a job to do. “After several minutes he said, ‘I love you guys, but there are customers waiting on me and I have to get back,’” Allred said. Customer Service supervisor Sandra McMurtrey works with Willoughby at Harmons. She said his former employer’s loss is definitely their gain. “Chad is always early for work. If someone calls in sick or late, I know that Chad is probably up in the break room and I can just go up and get him and ask him to fill in,” McMurtrey said. She appreciates that Willoughby is always trying to improve. “If something happens or didn’t go well, I can talk to him about it. He always says thank you for letting him know, and then he fixes it,” McMurtrey said. Willoughby is willing to clean up a mess, collect carts or sweep the store. But

McMurtrey agreed that he really does shine when it comes to caring about customers. “There was a night at the store just before Thanksgiving when we were just slammed, just so busy. Chad’s shift had ended, but he kept his checkstand open for two hours after he had gotten off, and didn’t say a thing, didn’t complain.

“And the thing I love is that when someone comes in and is having a bad day and telling him all about the things going on he will really empathize. He wants to do whatever it takes to serve customers and help the store,” McMurtrey said. Among the comments that Allred printed up and gave to Willoughby was one from

Gerardo Castillo about how Willoughby’s attitude spreads kindness throughout the community. “Chad always inspires me to open up to people more and share positive energy. I wish we could all be a little more like Chad,” Castillo wrote. l

Blizzard coming; no snow day for White City students By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com

lizzard is forecast for next fall, which doesn’t equate with a day off of school for children because of snowfall. But Blizzard is coming—and no, it’s not the Dairy Queen dessert. Blizzard is the name of the mascot for the new elementary school currently under construction in White City that is expected to open fall 2022. At the recent mascot reveal held at Bell View Elementary, just blocks west of where the new school is being built, a seven-foot cardboard cutout of the Glacier Hills’ Yeti was shared with about 100 people who gathered; it also was being livestreamed. Bell View second-grader Lillian Arvanitas said she liked the teal that highlights on the eyes, hands and feet. Lillian and her brother, Aiden, will attend the school next year as both the Edgemont and Bell View neighborhood children will merge into the two-story school that is currently under construction on the Edgemont campus. Families from both communities not only voted on the mascot, but also the mascot’s name. Blizzard was the clear-cut winner over Zeti and Yodel, said Julie Winfree, Glacier Hills’ principal. “Blizzard is welcoming, colorful and happy—and I’m so ready to be a Yeti,” she said, adding that the mascot costume already has been ordered. The design of Glacier Hills’ Yeti comes from Canyons School District graphic designer Jeff Olson, who said it took more than one year to brainstorm, create, redesign and finalize the initial eight different concepts until he refined the current design after a focus group comprised of both communities selected it. Lillan and Aiden’s mother, Holly, was happy about the look of the Yeti. “The mascot is super cute and friendly and modern,” she said. “I like the mascot’s thumbs up; it’s like, ‘We’re doing it, we’re going to school!’” l

Utah organization celebrates 10 years of empowering local women

n Nov. 13, guests gathered at Venue 6SIX9 in downtown Salt Lake City for a black-tie gala to honor nine outstanding women. Those celebrated women were the 2021 graduates from WoWUtah. “WoW” stands for “Women of Worth,” and the Utah-based nonprofit works to help women who have overcome difficult circumstances such as addiction, abuse or disease. The women selected for the program go through a year of workshops and training to help them gain selfworth and give them the tools they need for a fresh start. Each of the women is paired with a mentor, a volunteer who is there to help through the entire journey. Along with teaching them valuable life skills, each participant is given a makeover. According to WoWUtah’s Facebook page, they are gifted a collection of business attire and casual clothing selected by a team of stylists. “So she can feel confident and beautiful in her personal and professional life.” They also give each graduate formal wear and shoes for the gala event. While the program usually spans a year, the graduates at Friday’s event had been with WoWUtah for two years. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, workshops and classes that usually would have taken place in person switched to online. As a result, WoWUtah decided to keep the same participants for another year so they could better experience the program. Gala attendees enjoyed watching videos made by the 2021 graduates to highlight their achievements. Following their video, each graduate walked across the stage, just like in a classic school graduation. Then they were invited to say a few words about their experience, all of them finishing with the proclamation of “I am a woman of worth.” Barbara Moeller, who graduated from the program in 2012, now sits on WoW’s Chair of Mentees. Speaking about her experience, she said, “WoW helped me to find out how amazing it is to be myself. I had gotten lost under the pressures and circumstances in life. The program gave me the tools to defend myself against challenges that eroded my self-worth. The magic is being paired with a mentor for a journey of

self-discovery. I not only found my worth again but learned to be responsible and accountable for how I comport myself.” Along with honoring the 2021 graduates, the gala also celebrated the 10 years WoWUtah has been in operation. Judee Guay, who founded WoW and now works alongside COO Marie Jess to keep it running, spoke about the organization’s beginnings. She started WoW after she got a second chance at life. Guay recalled her years spent in an abusive marriage and how hopeless she’d felt. Hopelessness, only made worse by autoimmune diseases she was suffering from at the time. But, slowly, she was able to put the pieces back together. She left the abusive marriage, lost 100 pounds, and started to heal. Going through such a life-changing experience made Guay want to help other women overcome their struggles. So, she started WoWUtah in 2011. Though she had a vision, Guay said their first gala was nothing like the event that evening. “If anybody had told me that 10 years later this would be here, I wouldn’t have believed them,” she said, looking out at the crowd. The guests were also invited to participate in a silent auction to raise money for WoW’s continuation. The auction included prizes such as theater tickets, gift baskets, romantic getaways and several cakes. The evening presenter and a member of WoW’s advisory board, Ty Bennett, joked that he’d won several cakes that his children had bid on for him. Speaking of how WoWUtah has operated and will continue to operate on donations, Guay said, “[WoW] has been supported by volunteers, including the directors, executive board and advisory board. No one has received remuneration, and it will stay that way with all donations going toward the women being served now and in the future.” After presenting the graduates, Guay and Jess took turns presenting awards to those who’d helped WoWUtah throughout its 10 years. One of the award recipients included Chad Hymas, a highly respected international speaker who is also on WoW’s advisory board.

Hymas was given the Inspiration Award. Sheri Thompson, who’d come all the way from Arizona for the event, was given the Soul Sister Award. Guay told The City Journals, “Sheri's incredible connection with her WoW sisters and the mentees is why she is so deserving of this award.” They also surprised Bennett, the presenter, with the Legacy Award, for being with WoW from the beginning. Guay finished by surprising her COO Jess, and her husband, Lewie Guay, with the Founder’s Awards. After the awards, they finished the eve-

ning by inviting the women of WoW to perform a special musical number. They stood on the stage to sing “Breaking Free; Becoming My Best Me,” WoW’s official theme song, written by Nina Angela Lee, the president of Wow’s Executive Board. WoWUtah will be helping another group of women in 2022. Each year they select from a pool of candidates; if you think you or anyone you know would benefit from their program, they’ll be accepting applications at wowutah. org/applications until Dec. 1, 2021. l

Off-Street Residential Parking

Dear Sandy Resident, I’m privileged to be selected as our city’s 27th Mayor - and the first woman to take the seat. Although the election results took longer than expected, nothing was more important to me and my fellow City Council members than ensuring our election was conducted according to Utah law and with complete transparency. In the end this is exactly what happened. This election was bigger than any one candidate. It helped shape our shared vision for a bright future and how we will tackle the challenges of housing demands, transportation needs, open space preservation, and public safety—all in a budget we can afford. You can be sure I won’t go one day without appreciating the opportunity you’ve given me to lead. This moment is for each of you who’ve shared your hopes, priorities, vision, struggles, and inspirations for our city. I want to make sure I have a deep understanding of the needs of our community. As I take office, I carry your stories and each conversation with me as we face important decisions ahead. I will always stay close and accessible to the people of Sandy - you are my special interest - and I am honored by your trust. We are One Sandy and walk together as we build our best future for all in the city we love. You can always connect with us by going to our City websites sandy.utah.gov and SandyNow.com and by accessing our social media channels @sandycityut for daily updated information. Plus, download the CityServe app to report service requests and visit sandy.utah.gov/citizenconnect for additional ways to connect with Sandy.

The City’s Development Code outlines rules and regulations to try and ensure that adequate parking is provided on residential lots. While many people choose to park on the road out of convenience, it is important to remember that on-street parking is prohibited 24 hours prior to and after a snowstorm to allow for plows to operate safely. In addition, recreational vehicles (RVs), trailers, and commercial vehicles have specific standards that apply. Below are some of the requirements for parking on residential lots. • Hard Surface Required: All vehicles, whether in the front, side, or rear yard of a home, must be parked on a hard surface pavement (e.g., asphalt, concrete, brick, or other surface impervious to water). There are a few exceptions, including RVs (see below) and animal transport trailers on properties with animal rights (must be stored in the rear yard). • Recreational Vehicles: RVs should be parked in the rear or on the side of the home (except where topography or property boundaries make this impossible) and parked on a hard surface or a six-inch gravel base kept free of weeds. RVs may not be parked within the street right-of-way and must be behind the back edge of sidewalk (edge closest to home) or a minimum of 5 feet from curb/street if there is no sidewalk). Any RV stored on a residential lot must be owned by an occupant residing in that home.

Development and Building Codes. This includes setbacks from property lines, minimum distances between structures, and requirements for an accessory structure (if not attached to the home). For questions or concerns regarding off-street parking in residential areas, please contact our Code Enforcement division at 801-568-7254. If you have questions or concerns that relate to on-street parking, please contact the Sandy City Police Department at 801-568-7200. For additional information regarding parking in residential areas, including commercial vehicle restrictions, please visit the City’s online Development Code by scanning the following QR code:

• Carports: Any carport (or other structure used for the purpose of covering/protecting a vehicle) must meet all standards outlined in the City’s P A G E

SAFE SANDY: Winter Preparedness

While the danger from winter weather varies across our state, nearly all Utahns, regardless of where they live, are likely to face severe winter weather. Winter storms can range from a moderate snow over a few hours to a blizzard with blinding, wind-driven snow that lasts for several days. Many of these winter storms can also be accompanied by dangerously low temperatures, strong winds, or winter weather's ability to knock out heat, power, and communications services to your home or office. By the time severe weather hits, it's already too late. Disaster preparedness is about having an established safety plan. Whether it's preparedness for floods, earthquakes, hurricanes, or fires, the key to survival in disasters is planning. Use our winter storms home preparedness checklist to stay informed, make a plan, and, most importantly, remain safe in an emergency. Before winter approaches, add the following supplies to your emergency kit: • Rock salt or more environmentally safe products to melt ice on walkways • Sand to improve traction • Snow shovels and other snow removal equipment • Sufficient heating fuel, like dry, seasoned wood for your fireplace or wood-burning stove • Adequate clothing and blankets to keep you warm Have an emergency plan: • Your family may not be together when disaster strikes, so it is important to know how you will contact one another, how you will get back together, and what you will do in case of an emergency. • Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio or other local news channels for critical information from the National Weather Service (NWS) and be alerted to changing weather conditions. • Minimize travel but keep a disaster supplies kit in your vehicle. • Bring pets/companion animals inside during winter weather. • Move other animals or livestock to sheltered areas with nonfrozen drinking water.

COACHING YOUTH SPORTS 101

Interested in coaching and making sports fun for youth? Call (801) 568-2900 for opportunities These suggestions are based on what the Utah Jazz do each day as the team practices. However, these suggestions can be applied to any youth sport. Each practice should follow the same schedule with four basic parts: warmup, fundamentals, scrimmage, and cooldown. Basic skills should be taught in recreation-oriented settings. Adapt to the needs of the kids on your team. Help them learn and feel like part of the team during each practice and game. We encourage coaches to take the role of a teacher. Help young players to get the most out of the sport. Studies show that the majority of kids join youth sports with the purpose of having fun.

WARMUP You will want to plan a few simple warm up exercises and make a comment on the importance of physical fitness. Explain that such exercises loosen the muscles and help avoid injuries. You might also ask a few questions to stimulate thinking about proper eating habits and the importance of exercise throughout life. FUNDAMENTALS Take time to teach basic skills at each practice session and plan simple drills to reinforce your teaching. Work with your kids in small groups—3’s or 4’s—so that nobody gets bored or disinterested. If you are coaching the team by yourself, set up two or three “learning stations” and work with groups one at a time while the other groups work by themselves. SCRIMMAGE Even though you have already made the warmup and skill training portions of practice fun, this is the time the players are probably looking forward to the most. Tie it into what you are teaching about skills and fair play. Set a goal to focus on for each scrimmage and help the players see the relationship between basic skills and game scenarios. COOLDOWN Teams usually remember to warm up but tend to forget to cool down. This is an equally important part of your practice as it will lead to quicker recovery and help prevent injuries. Following the scrimmage, take a few minutes to stretch the main muscle groups that were used during practice. This time can be very beneficial to your team if you use it to recap practice, reinforce new concepts learned, and remind the team of upcoming practices or games. Utah Jazz Coach Snyder’s Keys to Success: • DO YOUR BEST • HAVE FUN • BE UNSELFISH • COMPETE AS A TEAM • BE RESPECTFUL Sandy City Recreation would like to recognize the thousands of volunteer youth coaches from the past, currently, and future, we say THANK YOU for giving your time and knowledge back to the youth of Sandy.

Sandy City’s Snow Fighters

“Making Our Roads Safe During the Winter” During the winter months, typically November – April, travel conditions can change quickly during a major snowstorm. It is a priority of Sandy City and its Snow Fighting Crew (commonly referred to as Snow Fighters) to minimize the danger. Their desire is to make all our roads safe and passable as quickly and efficiently as possible. The Public Works Department’s Streets Division employs 30 full-time employees. We have two crews prepared 24-hours a day in the event of a snowstorm. Several days before a winter storm arrives, Sandy City has three trucks equipped with a tank and spray system to apply salt brine to our roads. The salt brine is a solution of salt and water, used to deliver a pretreatment anti-icing approach. This approach is taken to decrease the likelihood of snow and ice bonding to the pavement surface. Anti-icing involves placing a thin layer of brine on the surface of the pavement before the winter storm has begun. A benefit of this proactive process is that anti-icing will achieve the same level of service on the roads using 1/4 to 1/5 the amount of salt! After the snow starts to fall, the Snow Fighters priority is to make all main roads (Priority 1 roadways) passable for schools, hospitals, clinics, fire, and police stations, as well as commuter traffic. If the snow continues to fall, the city’s first goal is to continually keep those main roads open. In such instances, it is unlikely that residential roads (Priority 2 roadways) will be reached immediately because main roads must be repeatedly plowed. After main roads are cleared, they can move to other roads and residential streets depending on the size of the storm and the amount of snow fall. Lastly, the plows will clear cul-de-sacs and dead-end streets (Priority 3 roadways) once the main and secondary roadways

I S S U E # 89

are open. Please keep in mind that it could be 12-18 hours after a storm ends before a plow enters your neighborhood. Even after the plow has been through your neighborhood initially, they will return over the next day or two to push back and remove any snow hazards. During an average winter storm, Sandy’s Snow Fighters will plow 2,800 miles and apply 550 tons of salt. Annually, they plow 35,000 to 40,000 miles and apply 8,000 to 9,000 tons of salt. Sandy City residents can assist the Snow Fighters and make this difficult job easier. These rules are for the safety of the residents in that neighborhood and for the snowplow drivers to clear the streets of snow as quickly as possible. 1. Do not create a hazard by blowing or pushing snow into any city street after the plow has been through your neighborhood. This creates a hazardous condition for other motorists when the snow refreezes. 2. Plowing streets and cul-de-sacs with cars parked along the curb makes it difficult to remove and stack the snow. As a result, there are parking restrictions on residential streets during the winter months from November 1 through April 30, especially during a storm or within 24 hours after a storm. 3. City plows cannot plow close to mailboxes because of potential danger from heavy wet snow. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure that the area around the mailbox is clear, to allow for mail delivery. Finally, if you would like to watch the Sandy City snowplow locations and snow removal progress, please go to sandy.utah.gov/plowtracker.

Alta View students share pies with principal, faculty, volunteer By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com

ix willing souls got smeared by students in celebration of their school successfully surpassing its status. Say that six times fast. By the end of a short assembly that streamed in classrooms and to parents, several Alta View Elementary students successfully smeared colorful whipped pies in the six faces belonging to their principal, faculty and a volunteer in celebration of the school surpassing their fundraising goal, bringing in $15,600 for the elementary school PTA. Principal Scott Jameson even wore a mask, snorkel and fins to the event. l

New Edgemont Elementary principal loved school from day one By Julie Slama | j.slama@mycityjournals.com

hen Elcena Saline was younger, she looked forward to summer ending so school could begin. “I loved all the school supplies and getting ready for school,” she recalls. “I loved all the activities, the engaging lessons, watching the teachers teach; it looked like so much fun. I wanted to be a teacher ever since first grade.” Saline, who was named after her grandmother, grew up “in the sticks,” as she says. Her small Ohio town didn’t have a streetlight. There was no school, so she rode a school bus for about 20 miles from the Muskingum River, past Blue Rock State Forest and State Park to attend a Catholic school in Zanesville, an hour east of Columbus. In sixth grade, her family moved, and she attended public school in Utah, where she ditched her school uniform and got to pick out her own school clothes and also was in a more interactive classroom. She attended the now-defunct Cottonwood Heights Elementary, then thrived at Butler Middle and Brighton High, both now in Canyons School District. After a brief thought of wanting to be a nurse—“I got squirted in my eye by a cow’s eye juice I was dissecting; the formaldehyde stunk; and although it was interesting, I didn’t enjoy the grossness and memorization”—she returned to her first love, of wanting to be a teacher.

Fast forward to this year, and the little girl who was excited to use her new school supplies now is using them as a first-time principal at Edgemont Elementary, which ironically is in its last year since the school will merge with Bell View Elementary next fall at Glacier Hills, the two-story elementary currently being built on the Edgemont campus. While she won’t be principal at the new elementary, as one already has been appointed, Saline is willing to learn where she is, and apply the experiences and insights she gained while being an achievement coach for three years at Park Lane Elementary as well as when she worked under two different principals the past two years at Sandy Elementary. That learning wasn’t just “how a school functions and people interact to yield the best student outcomes,” but also from former Edgemont Principal Michelle Snarr how to operate two grade schools side-by-side at the empty, former Crescent View Middle, sharing some facilities. “I was excited, honored and really humbled to come here,” she said. “I learned so many wonderful things about Edgemont. My goal is to help students and teachers through a difficult year. Many schools here and across the country report that on top of all the challenges we face and embrace with COVID-19,

we also have the complications of being in this building and being the last year of this cherished school for 63 years. I want to make sure the students are OK, the teachers are OK, we can have the best outcomes we can, and go out with fireworks, not in a fizzle.” In the early months of this school year, Saline said it’s been a “great start as the teachers are fantastic and already

are moving in a more normal routine” as the school transitioned to their temporary digs last spring. She said the routine was already established where they don’t cross paths much with Peruvian Park students, with even the gymnasium portioned to keep schools separate and cafeteria times staggered. “We’re focused on supporting the kids with their social and emotional be-

ing, keeping them safe and feeling welcome so they have what they need to succeed,” she said. Even in this environment, Edgemont will continue its traditions such as in December, the annual PTA book swap, where every student receives a book, and the holiday sing-along, although it may look different during the pandemic. While Saline continues to learn the ropes of being a principal as her students learn in class, she reflects back. She earned her elementary education with a social studies emphasis from Utah State University then earned her master’s in elementary math and her English-as-a-Second Language endorsement at Southern Utah University while teaching at Oakdale Elementary. Saline also received her administrative/supervisory K-12 license and her certificate from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. It’s the years in the classroom which holds Saline to her core. She remembers loving to teach ancient civilization and world history as well as teach about microorganisms along with heat, light and sound because they were “fascinating” and she recalls fifth-graders being her favorite to teach: “They’re learning to be independent thinkers. They’re becoming more engaged in their learning and in the world around them.” And Saline remembers sharpening the No. 2 pencils in a town without a school building, waiting excitedly for her school days to begin. l

Continued from front page ervation Community, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting the 630-acre park in the center of the city. The group has organized annual cleanup efforts of the park and made efforts to preserve the Muir-Poulsen house, a historic farm house on the east end of the park. From activist to city councilmember Leading up to the 2019 municipal election cycle, then-District 3 council member Chris McCandless announced that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election. Immediately, friends and supporters of Zoltanski’s Dimple Dell efforts encouraged her to pursue the vacant seat. “They saw that I was effective at organizing, communicating and leading. It wasn’t something that I would have come to on my own. I needed that support,” Zoltanski told the Sandy Journal in 2019. With that grassroots support behind her, Zoltanski was able to secure a narrow victory over Brooke D’Sousa in the District 4 race. (D’Sousa was just elected to one of the city’s at-large council seats). The addition of Zoltanski, as well as three other newcomers, created a historic 6-1 female majority on the council. It was a notable development for Zoltanski, who grew up during a time when she didn’t see as many women in the political realm as one does today, let alone constituting majorities. “For coming generations, without seeing the role models that look like them in high positions, it’s hard to imagine you at that seat. I think that’s really important,” she said at that time. The new council began 2020 with an emphasis on restoring some stability to a body that had frequently drawn headlines for its dysfunction—division within the council as well as a fractured relationship with the mayor’s office. While anyone who follows the city council will know that there have been a number of passionate disagreements over policy issues during the last two years, Zoltanski insists that none of it has been personal for her. “There have been some hard-fought battles and some votes that have come down to the wire with a lot of politics behind them. It’s not always easy, it’s not always smooth sailing,” she said. But just having tension on the council isn’t necessarily a bad thing, according to Zoltanski. In fact, it may even be a good thing. “Some people suggest that we should return to an era when it was smooth sailing and city council meetings were 20-30 minutes long. I attended some of those meetings as a resident and made me wonder, when are these decisions actually being made. I’d rather have those decisions made in the daylight, even if that means residents get to see us air out our differences,” she said. From city councilmember to mayor Much like her jump to the city council, Zoltanski’s jump to the mayor’s office was preceded by an incumbent stepping down. This time, it was Mayor Bradburn who announced that he wouldn’t be seeking re-election. So she decided to throw her hat in the ring (the red

cowboy hat, specifically). Between her time as a prosecutor for the city, her experience as a local business owner, grassroots activism leadership and her time on the council, she felt she had a “broad exposure to the various needs of the city.” “Sandy needs strong leadership. We’re at a critical point in our city’s history. We have some big challenges, from our housing market to open space preservation, and funding all the things we love about Sandy, on a budget we can afford,” she said. According to Zoltanski, the two issues which popped up the most as she talked to residents during the campaign was housing density and the Little Cottonwood Canyon transportation debate. Zoltanski, who has publicly opposed the plan to build a gondola system that would

transport skiers up the mountain, said one of her first priorities in office will be conducting a survey to find out what Sandy residents want. Another priority for her is starting an economic advisory committee. “I want to bring together business leaders to identify how we can support both big and small businesses in Sandy,” she said. She also wants to make sure that residents have a seat at that table. “We need to tap into what our residents

want. What kinds of businesses are missing? I’ve learned from the campaign that people want more recreation and lifestyle businesses: ski shops, bike shops, good restaurants, neighborhood markets.” All those efforts will officially get underway when Zoltanski takes office. The oath of office ceremony for her and two newly-elected city council members is scheduled to take place at Alta High School on Jan. 3. l

Brooke D’Sousa ready to serve on the Sandy City Council By Justin Adams | justin.a@thecityjournals.com

here will be two new faces on the Sandy City Council this year, after a bit of a reshuffling occurred during November’s election. Zach Robinson, who previously served as an at-large city council member, opted to instead run for re-election to represent District 3. Taking his place as one of the council’s two at-large representatives (meaning that they represent the whole city) will be Brooke D’Sousa. D’Sousa was born and raised in the Salt Lake Valley, and has lived up and down the Wasatch Front her whole life. After working in the financial services sector for 17 years, she shifted career fields to real estate, in part to secure a better balance between work and family. That change resulted in her paying closer attention to community issues. “I was interested in learning about the cities around me, so I started paying a little more attention so I could provide an extra level of service and knowledge,” she told the Sandy Journal. In 2017, she participated in Sandy’s Citizens Academy program, an 11-week course which familiarizes residents with the role of the police department within the city. Also participating in the course that year was Zach Robinson, who successfully ran for city council at the end of the year. Around the same time, D’Sousa said

she started regularly attending city council meetings. She quickly became a familiar face in the council chambers, where meetings are sometimes sparsely attended. The more she attended, the more she realized that she could see herself up on the stand. “I realized I had the knowledge and the background to feel that I was qualified to do the job,” she said. As opposed to some candidates who get involved in city politics because they’re upset over a specific issue in the community, D’Sousa said she really just wants to give back to her community. “I think Sandy is an incredible city. I have overall enjoyed the direction that the city has gone. I’d like to see it continue on that prosperous path. I really just have a desire to serve,” she said. D’Sousa brings to the council her experience in finance, real estate and also as a local business owner. An avid quilter, she decided four years ago to open an online fabric store. She also completed a business degree from the University of Utah in 2020. Those skills will certainly come in handy as she works with the rest of the council to tackle the many issues facing Sandy City. Among those issues, D’Sousa said are taxes and affordable housing—two of the top priorities mentioned by Sandy residents as she was

out knocking on doors during the campaign. One advantage D’Sousa will have as she joins the council is the fact that she’s already been able to cultivate relationships with many of her new colleagues simply by attending meetings over the years. That will be crucial, she said, because nobody can accomplish anything on the city council on

their own. “I recognize that the council functions as a team; no one can really do anything on their own,” she said. “Relationships are incredibly important, relationships where you can have tough critical conversations where you can still be productive and walk away as friends.” l

One morning I woke up and I’d had enough. The pandemic had forced us to look at our walls and carpet 24/7 and every day the chips in the paint got bigger and the stains on the carpet got wider. Was that blood or pudding? I couldn’t tell anymore. It was time to take action. My husband tends to overthink in a death-spiral sort of way, so our conversation went from “What kind of paint/flooring should we get?” to “What if we spend two weeks with our dog in a tent in a blizzard?” I let him ruminate for a while before moving to the next phase. We talked about painting the rooms ourselves and laughed hysterically for a couple of hours. We are not the DIY kind of people. We once assembled a bookshelf together so I knew we needed to hire a professional; either a professional painter or a professional divorce attorney. We reached out to our friend, Rick Hepner, who was delighted to paint our home, plus he got to enjoy our 4-year-old granddaughter following him around asking him what he was doing, why he was doing it, how long he’d be doing it and if he wanted to play Barbies. While preparing the walls, Rick discovered ecosystems behind our furniture where sentient beings lived in and breathed only dust. He waded through chest-deep dust like we were living in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl era, or

maybe the sequel to Dune. Once the dust was hauled away and the walls were beautifully painted, we turned our attention to the floors. Our carpet crossed the prairie in the back of a handcart, survived nuclear testing in Southern Utah and was definitely sprouting tentacles. Time to toss it before it murdered us in our sleep. Then came the discussion of wood versus carpet. My husband is old school and likes soft carpeting, probably so he doesn’t break a hip if he falls. I like the clean line of wood. We compromised with me getting wood flooring in my office, and carpet everywhere else; except the bathroom. We’re not animals. When it came time to move furniture out of the house, I threw things away willy-nilly.

HEATING & AIR&CONDITIONING Water Softener Air Puriﬁcation

I took bags of clothes and shoes and children to Goodwill. My husband followed behind me, taking things out of donation bags and hiding them. He has sentimental attachments to items like water bottles and lanyards and the blouse I wore when we saw the Blue Man Group in 2008. Finally, the walls were painted, flooring was complete, furniture was moved back and everything was right with the world. But our dog was hyperventilating. Before renovation (BR), she’d nap under the guest bed, which is now in another home. She wandered the halls, forlorn and lost, carrying her bone from room to room, trying to navigate her apocalyptic new world. Not only that, but the wood floor distressed her and she refused to walk on it. She slept on the couch until midnight. Then I heard her toenails clicking as she walked across the floor and threw herself onto her bed, sighing loudly, so we’d know she’d been inconvenienced. For a while, we played The Floor is Lava to keep the carpet looking bright and new. But walls get scratched and carpet gets stained because life is a messy, dirty, grimy experiment where sometimes you don’t know if the stain on the carpet is blood or pudding, and your dog needs therapy, and your husband unpacks the donation bags. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
