Millcreek Township residents may have one

more expense this year – a public safety fee
By Karyn Crandall
The Unified Police District, which came into be-
ing Jan. 1 and is composed of the sheriff’s department
and various cities around the valley, will not change
any services. However, to fulfill its part of its contract
with the district, the county council is considering im-
posing a public safety fee on residents of the unincor-
porated county.
Some residents are not happy about it. Almost 100
people came out to oppose the fee at a public hearing
on Jan. 6 with some saying the fee is just a fancy word
for a tax.
In the past, law enforcement services for the un-
incorporated areas were paid through the county’s
municipal services fund. The fund largely consists of
sales tax revenue and since sales tax was down 30 to
40 percent last year over the previous year, the county
had to look at new ways to foot the bill of $21.5 mil-
lion for law enforcement services. The sheriff’s de-
partment had already trimmed 6 percent compared to
last year’s budget before joining the district.
“We had to figure out what to do,” Kerri Nakamu-
ra, council advisor to Jim Bradley said. “As a county,
we could not have done a property tax increase for the
municipal services fund. This would hit property own-
ers really hard so we started looking to the fee.”
As Bradley’s advisor, Nakamura has invested a lot
time into working on this issue with him. She present-
ed the facts about the proposed fee to attendees at the
Jan. 6 meeting.
Nakamura said residents would have to pay about
$18 a month with a property tax increase. The fee will
be less at $14.50 a month per single family residence.
This can be paid $ 43.50 quarterly or in a yearly lump
sum of $174.
The fee allows the county to require entities which
traditionally don’t pay for public safety services to
chip in. This includes hospitals, churches and larger
businesses.
“Some businesses and type of businesses demand
more public safety,” Nakamura said. “Those who use
more ought to pay a little more. We are asking them to
pay a little more if they demand more of the service.
This lowers the impact on residents.”
“Our entire goal was to try to blunt the impact on
our small businesses and hold it down on residential,”
she said. “The bottom line is residential and small
business should not have to pay. We shifted the de-
mand cost to where the demand cost belongs.”
The fee hits some people harder in the pocketbook
though, especially with the tough economy.
Gordon Palmer owns an apartment complex in
Millcreek. With the fee, he will be charged per unit,
totaling a bill of $74,592 annually.
“This doesn’t take into account vacant apart-
ments,” Palmer said. “I have more vacancies now than
ever.”
Nakamura said that if the economy improves, the
county could look at reducing the fee, but she thinks
that people will like seeing how their money is being
used.
The fee has nothing to do with the new Unified
Police District, she said. Without the new department,
the county would still need $21.5 million to pay for Stacy Norton holds a sign protesting the public safety

East Mill Creek Community Christ United Methodist Church keeps homeless
Council gets new chair families from being left out in the cold
By Crystal Liechty
Leslie Riddle recently resigned as the
East Mill Creek Community Council chair
but she didn’t get far. Shortly after step-
ping down and helping the council elect a
replacement, Riddle was nominated to fill
a vice chair position, which she agreed to
do on a limited basis.

Skyline swimmers learn Olympus swim team makes good showing
to compete

Andrew Dunford, junior, swims the 100 yard butterfly for Olympus.

By Mary Kaelin Boys Events:

Swimmers clear the block as Skyline competes against
Mountain Crest in a pre-season home meet Nov. 19.
By Mary Kaelin
Skyline’s swim team battled through
nine matches to complete the first part of
its’ season, with the perennial championship
girls’ team 8-0-1 and the boys’ team earning
a 5-4 record. “We have a lot of young kids,”
said head coach Joe Pereira, whose team
is made up of mostly underclassmen. “We
have had a lot of teaching to do.”
The girls’ team is currently ranked third
in state, and the boys are in sixth place.
“The kids are going fast,” said Pereira.
“They have had a 45 percent improvement
in performance. But we are still learning to
compete. They have to want it more than the
other team.”
Skyline took first place against both Alta
Dec. 15 and at the Granite District champi-
onships Dec. 18, and set 96 new best times
and four new best relay times between the
two matches.
At the district championships, the girls
200 freestyle relay and 400 free relay teams
both took first place (Sydni Johansen, 11,
Maria Amirkhanashvili, 12, Angela Ben-
nion, 12, and Natalie Bennion, 10,) and the
200 medley relay team took second (Erin
Hayes, 12, Britni Johansen, 9, Keti Amirkha-
nashvili, 11, and Rachel Locke, 12.)
The boys’ 400 free relay team finished
first, (Douglas Pizac, 12, David Amirkha-
nashvili, 9, Ian Smith and Howie Burbidge,
12) and the 200 medley relay team took
second place (Amirkhanashvili, Smith, Bur-
bidge and Travis Mitchell, 9.)
Individual results for the girls’ team
included: Sydni Johansen, first place in the
200 free, Maria Amirkhanashvili, second
in 200 free, and Angela Bennion, second in
100 free.
Boys top finishers included Pizac, first
place in 100 butterfly and second in 200 in-
dividual medley; David Amirkhanashvili,
second in 50 free; Smith, second in 100 free;
Burbidge, second in 100 butterfly; and Hiro
Yoshigi, 10, second in 500 free.
The Eagles competed with rival Hunter
High School Jan. 7 in a “Pink Meet” fund-
raiser event. The teams sold eco-friendly
water bottles at the meet, with all proceeds
going to the Huntsman Cancer Institute.
Skyline will face number one-ranked

with the girls’ team finishing third and the
boys’ fifth.
“The team is doing well,” said coach
Brad Goffe, who has been coaching at
Olympus for all 16 years that they have had
a team. The girls’ team has won all their
dual meets, and is ranked second or third
in state.”
The girls’ team, led by senior captains
Sara Ference and Bailey Bowthorpe, racked

ishing first in both the 200 IM and the 100
free. “She is the fastest swimmer in state
in those events,” Goffe said. “She has bro-
ken several school records.”
Goffe said the Titans also have the
best relay teams they’ve had in years.
“They are ranked fifth or sixth in state,”
he said.
“I thought we did really well at the
meet,” Goffe said. “There are some very
strong teams in the district; we were the
only 4A team there. The others were
mostly 5A.”
The Titans will compete Jan. 23 at
Toole for the region championships be-
fore finishing the season Feb. 5 and 6 at

Girls basketball
As the 2009-10 girls’ basketball season
begins, Olympus head coach Kael Ashton
has planned a few changes for his team.
“We’re going to do things a little differ-
ently,” Ashton said. “Just a little different
makeup.”
Any adjustments for the Titan team will
be building on the successes of last year’s
winning season. Olympus finished with
a 13-9 record, and earned a trip to the 4A
state playoffs last year, losing in the first
round 41-30 to Roy.
“I am optimistic. I think we’ll be pretty
good. We don’t have a lot of size, but we’re
quick,” Ashton, whose tallest players this
year are 5’11,” said. “We’re also kind of
young.”
The varsity team will include five se-
niors, five juniors, four sophomores and
even one freshman. “Of course we will
face challenges,” Ashton said. “But I am
looking forward to another year.”
Nearing the end of pre-season, the team

included several games lost by only a few
points. “We let a few slip by that we should
have had,” coach Deb Bennett said. “That
was a little disappointing.”
But with tough competition comes ex-
perience. “It was an amazingly challenging
experience,” she said. “I’m pleased. You
can’t duplicate that kind of practice.”
For Bennett and the girls “practice
makes perfect” is the name of the game.
Spring and summer practices and off-sea-
son games, along with a tournament in San
Diego and a skills camp at Dixie State Col-
lege have helped the girls get a head up on
the competition.
And the dedication is paying off. “The
team is good,” Bennett said. “We have a
nice balance, and are getting better and bet-
ter.”
Skyline boasts a three-headed attack of
leading scorers; seniors Whitney Jenkins,
Hannah Bezdjian, and Katie Walker lead
the team with their strong leadership and
experience.
“We are playing better as a team,”
Bennett said. “We are more consistent and
more unselfish.”

Local teacher attends sustainable High school students take time
development conference
Patty White’s sixth grade class, Team H.O.P.E. is ready to change the world. White’s atten-
dance at a recent sustainable development conference has helped firm up their direction.
By Mary Lynn Ferguson
Patti White, a sixth grade teacher in the
gifted magnet program at Morningside El-
ementary, was among 15 teachers nation-
wide selected to attend a sustainable devel-
opment education conference in Portland,
Ore.
The conference hosted by Fulbright
Japan, took place Nov. 1 to 5 and included
presentations, workshops and site visits to
Portland ESD-focused schools. Also at-
tending were 15 teachers from Japan.
“It was so much fun, I can’t even tell
you how much fun it was,” White said. “I
really have a passion for this area of educa-
tion.”
The event was designed to raise aware-
ness of programs in both countries that
enhance education for sustainable devel-
opment in the areas of food and sustain-
able nutrition, environment, energy and
resources and international understanding
and cooperation.
Many of White’s students share her
passion for concern for the environment.
This year her class has named themselves

et Earth.

Both Skyline and Olympus High
School students spread holiday cheer with
their generous giving.
At Skyline the Community of Caring
students have been busy with two big proj-
ects. Senior Sarah Esplin organized a book
drive and Natalie Bliss, also a senior, is
helping warm residents at the Road Home
with her “Caps for Chaps” program.
Community of Caring is a character
education program with a focus on em-
powering students to be responsible and
caring members of their community.
Sarah wanted to help some Sudanese
refugee children. She had a goal of gather-
ing 50 books in good condition, hoping to
present 30 children with at least one each.
She typed up a flyer and passed it around
her Millcreek neighborhood. By the end of
the day she had more than 100 books.
It did not end there. At the drive’s
conclusion she had 1,602 books, 82 sets of
flash cards, two large bags of clothes and
has already submitted the bill which will
come up in the next legislative session.
White’s students will be making presenta-
tions around the valley to gain support for
the bill.
Another of White’s projects is to en-
courage students and the community to
“TravelWise” and get exercise. Morning-
side will kick off a TravelWise week from
Jan. 19 to 22. The activity is meant to raise
awareness of how we can travel more effi-
ciently in order to be healthier in 2010 and
beyond. “We want to provide students with

Road Home shelter.
“We are calling it ‘Caps for Chaps,’ but
we are not limiting donations just to hats.
The shelter is also in need of any type of
clothing and hygiene items,” Natalie said.
She will be collecting items until Friday, Jan.
29. For further donation questions contact

Snowbasin to
Host Winter Dew Tour
By Theresa A. Husarik
Only in its second year, the winter ver-
sion of the famous summer Dew Tour has
proven to be a premier season-long winter
action sports event. It consists of three
multi-sport stops at three different U.S. ski
and snowboard resorts. This year, the tour
comes to Utah’s Snowbasin resort Jan.
15-17, 2010.
The prestigious contest draws top
winter athletes from around the world who
vie for the highly coveted Dew Cup and
$1.5 million in prizes that will be award-
ed in Mount Snow, Vt. at season’s end.
Competitions include men’s and women’s
slopestyle and superpipe styles of both
freeskiing and snowboarding.
Snowbasin, which has been involved
in the summer Dew Tour for the past three
years and which also hosted the Men’s
and Women’s Downhill and Super-G
events for the 2002 Winter Olympics, is
thrilled to be chosen to host the tour. An
event like this brings millions of dollars in
revenue that benefits the state due to the
thousands of fans who come to watch or
participate. Last year’s total event boasted
70,000 on-site fans and an average of 26
million television viewers.
“The Dew Tour will bring significant
national and international exposure to
Snowbasin and the greater Ogden area,”
said Jodi Holmgren, director of Snowba-
sin’s marketing and public relations. “The
event will draw world-class snowboard
and freeski athletes to our resort, as well
as an estimated 20,000 spectators.”
Check SkiNewsUtah.com for the rest
of the story and breaking details as the
event draws near.

The Piano Gallery Studio Cove

You’re never too old to learn a new skill
and that has never been truer than at the Pi-
ano Gallery in South Jordan. For more than
10 years, The Piano Gallery has offered the
Music Wellness Program, a piano instruc-
tion program specifically for older adults.
“It’s more than a hobby of music play-
ing, it’s a lifestyle,” says Jonelle White,
program director. “It’s one of the best kept
secrets in the valley. It’s a really, really neat
thing for seniors.”
The program consists of one-hour
group lessons that include singing songs
and playing music as well as concerts,
workshops and parties. Classes are offered
for free and seniors can be involved for as
long as they want to, with different level
classes depending on a person’s skills.
“There are people who’ve been doing
this for eight years,” Jonelle says. “Most peo-
ple that come join us took music as a child
but couldn’t follow through with it because
of money or time issues, or they’ve always
wanted to learn but never got the chance. We
have a lot of fun teaching them how to play
but it’s really about enjoying life.”
The program was developed by the or-
gan company, Lowery after studies found
that music was consistently linked with
better emotional and physical health. “I
don’t like to use the word ‘organ’ because
people think of two things: churches and
funerals,” Jonelle says. “But they’re a
lot more advanced now. They have saxo-
phones, trombones and drum [effects] so
when you sit down to play, it’s like you’re
playing with a whole band.”
The classes focus on music that was
popular during the 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s
and features artists like Laurence Welk and
Glen Miller. The program has grown in
popularity so much that it’s now available
all over the nation as well as in England
and India. The Piano Gallery also offers a
special incentive for seniors who are ner-
vous about trying the program.
“Of course the classes are free but we
also offer to install an instrument in their
home at no cost for the first 10 weeks that

Cove is there to help. Studio Cove, at 3939
South Wasatch Blvd. near Olympus Hills
Mall, is a full service gym with state-of-
the art weight machines, cardio equipment,
personal trainers and fitness classes. Owner
Amy James opened Studio Cove a year ago
wanting it to be a welcoming neighborhood
gym so don’t be surprised when the front
desk personnel call you by name.
“Coming into a gym can be a real intim-
idating experience so we go out of our way
to be friendly and warm,” Amy says. “We
offer everything a large gym has to offer
but in a more intimate setting.”Amy under-
stands there are people who think they need
to be already “fit” to fit in at a gym. Rest
assured, Studio Cove is not a “meat market”
but a smaller neighborhood fitness center.
“We seem to appeal to the older group
of people in the community,” Amy says.
The arrangement of the machines also
makes the gym experience less threatening.
“When you walk in, you are not over-
taken by a sea of equipment. A lot of times
gyms have so much it’s overwhelming and
unmanageable,” she says.
One way this is accomplished is by us-
ing the FreeMotion equipment line, Amy’s
favorite. This cuts down on the number of
machines as the cable system allows a user
to complete five to six motions on one piece
of equipment. In addition, the movements
are designed to strengthen core muscles at
the same time.
Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a
former couch potato, Studio Cove has what
you need to get you moving. New mem-
bers in need of expert advice can utilize
the highly qualified and certified personal
trainers who can also administer fitness as-
sessments, personalized exercise programs
and nutritional plans.
“There are so many tools available for
members to reach their fitness goals,” Amy
says.
It’s also perfectly fine for members to
create their own routine. There is a full line

had an even 3-3 record, and according to
Ashton, was “starting to come together.”
Ashton said he has been pleased with
his team’s defense all year long, and now
sees the offense improving as well. “We are
beginning to learn,” he said. “We’re mov-
ing the ball better, shooting with more con-
fidence. We’re starting to understand what
we’re looking for and trying to get it.”
Top scorers for the Titans at press
time included: Arielle Meredith, junior,
63 points; Amanda Dibblee, senior, 51
points; Shannon Bass, senior, 33 points;
Carly Duckworth, senior, 33 points; Karla
Brown, senior, 33 points; Crystallyn Fale-
toi, sophomore, 16 points.
Also contributing were senior Hailey
Parking (9 points), sophomore Janie Egan
(5 points), and sophomore Jennifer Nich-
ols, (2 points).
“The nice thing about this group is that
any one of five different girls could step in

to do all right.”

Boys Basketball
The boys’ basketball team is hop-
ing to continue its past success this year;
the Titans were Region 6 champions, and
were just two wins short of taking state as
well. It was the third straight region title
for Olympus, which finished with a 19-5
overall record for the year and went 13-1 in
region play.
“We want to build on what we did last
year,” head coach Matt Barnes said. “It was
a great season.”
The Titans got off to a good start, with
a 7-1 pre-season record at press time. Those
wins represent some major triumphs for the
team, including a 68-63 victory over num-
ber one ranked Bingham Dec. 15, and a
defensive 50-26 pounding against Skyline
Dec. 18.
The key to the Titans’ success, Barnes
said, is the teamwork. “This is a good group

“Safety Fee” from front page
With the transition to the Unified Po-
lice District, Sheriff Jim Winder says the
public can expect to see a new branding
that includes new logos, stickers on cars
and new blue uniforms in mid-April.
With all the new changes, Winder
wants the community to be aware that the
department “will not be incurring any new
costs to create the Unified Police District.”
“Wish List” from front page
the beginning,” Salt Lake County Coun-
cilmember Jani Iwamoto said.
The plan is a working document that
can be changed and updated with public
input yearly, she said.
“It [the plan] will always be current with
what people in the township want,” she said.
“During the development of the plan, plan-
ning and development services put recom-
mendations [from the community] into a
chart and separated things that will be done
in 2010 from items that will be worked on
with the community councils in the future.”
The original general plan draft called
for a number of things that had East Mill
Creek residents concerned, namely the
designation of 3900 South and 2300 East
as “corridors” and the role community
councils would be allowed to play in zon-
ing decisions.
The adopted plan incorporated the East
Mill Creek Area Plan, a list of guidelines
geared toward keeping the area predomi-
nately single family, into the general plan
and removed the “corridor” designation on
3900 South from Interstate 215 to High-
land Drive and 2300 East, from 3900 South
to 3300 South.
The Millcreek Community Council
submitted a list of recommendations in the
first part of December. The list outlined
seven proposed projects including the in-
stallation of sidewalks on the east side of
900 East between 3900 South and 4500
South; a request that 4500 South be wid-
ened from two to four lanes between 900
East and 1100 East; recommended rezon-
ing the area along 700 East between 3300
South and 4500 South for mixed use to in-
clude businesses in the residential area and
the south side of Rowley Drive west of 900
East for use by offices or small businesses;
and expressed a desire to have the four
township councils remain separate rather
“Skyline Basketball” from page 4
said. “Despite our record, I am seeing some
progress. We have two seniors starting, and
a number of young kids that are getting im-
portant experience.”
The leading scorers for the Eagles in
pre-season included sophomore Jaden
Jackson, with 106 points and 16 three-
pointers, followed by seniors Brian Orr (66
pts.) James Tingey (57 pts.) Chase Dunford
(50 pts.) and Jake Osterloh (34 pts.)

Officers already receive a yearly al-
lowance of $1,200, which they will use
to obtain their new uniforms and will also
use the same budget for cars as in previous
years.
Salt Lake County members of the dis-
trict board, Bradley, Mayor Peter Corroon
and Councilman Michael Jensen, decided
to hold off on a final vote until they can
reevaluate the fee. (That meeting was ex-
pected to take place after press time).
than merged into a single entity.
Millcreek Community Council Chair-
person Diane Angus said the council would
like to see the sidewalk project planned be-
cause many of the residents of Pheasant
Hollow, located at 4125 South 900 East,
are disabled.
“There is no sidewalk along there to
allow them safe passage,” she said. “That
was our priority area, that we would like
the county to please help those residents
along that area.”
Both Angus and Salt Lake County Se-
nior Planner Max Johnson said that residents
could expect to see the projects on the plan
carried out as funding became available.
“It’s important to note that the general
plan does not prioritize the projects,” John-
son said. “We’re looking for incremental
steps of success.”
“In January, Canyon Rim Citizen’s As-
sociation will be working on developing a
project list,” said Aimee McConkie, Can-
yon Rim citizen’s association chair.
Millcreek Planning Commission mem-
bers are relieved that they have come up
with a plan that works for everybody and
will continue to work for everybody down
the road.
“We’re very happy that we’re able to
update a plan that’s over 15 years old,”
Johnson said. “It’s a progressive, dynamic
plan that we’re going to update on an an-
nual basis and improve the community
with what the community wants to see.
It’s a continuous conversation to improve
our communications with the community
councils and our staff.”
Canyon Rim’s representatives have
not yet submitted their recommendations.
(Both Canyon Rim and Mt. Olympus com-
munity council recommendations will be
covered in an article next month.)
To see a copy of the general plan recom-
mendations made by the community coun-
cils, visit www.MyMillcreekJournal.com.
The Eagles are relatively short, with
starters all 6’2” or shorter. “But we make
up for it with hustle and hard work, espe-
cially on defense,” Graziano said.
Graziano said his coaching philosophy
is centered on being goal-oriented. “I’m
big on doing this for a reason,” he said. “I
want to take what we have learned in pre-
season and apply it to being the best we can
be. We want a team with balance.”
Skyline will play Friday, Jan. 15 at
West. Game time is 7 p.m.
“Voice Heard” from page 2
end of 2004. Her journey began after she
read an article in the Millcreek Journal
about an open seat due to a member step-
ping down.
“I had never heard of [the East Mill
Creek Community Council] and didn’t
know it existed in our area,” she said. “I
noted that they had only one woman on the
11 or 13-member council at the time and
thought that needed to change. If you look
at the balance of members now, it’s very
different from that one-woman scenario.”
A lot more than the genders of council
members has changed since Riddle began
to serve on it. “Back in the old days, we
dealt with zoning issues occasionally but
it was mostly focused on the historic dis-
trict,” she said.
Now the council deals with several
issues that affect residents, including the
Millcreek Community Center, the Salt
Lake County General Plan, the infill or-
dinance and community involvement pro-
grams like Movies in the Park. Riddle has
also been at the forefront of the movement
to give community councils actual power
“Homeless” from page 2
to families in need. Christ United is one of
15 congregations in the Salt Lake area that
participate in the program, rotating four
families at a time from one church to an-
other.
“We’ve really gotten to know our
church neighbors by doing this,” Sandy
Towns, a Christ United Methodist Church
congregant, said.
Two years ago the Christ United con-
gregation built a living space called the
“Inn” below the church that includes a host
room, four bedrooms, kitchen, living area,
laundry room and bathroom with showers.
The area was originally built with the Fam-
ily Promise program in mind, but is also
used to house missionaries when it is not
being used for its original purpose.
“Before the living area was built, the
families used to stay in our Sunday school
rooms,” Towns said.
Families are referred to the program
from area clinics and counseling centers.
They’re just regular people who have
fallen on hard times, Towns said. Most
of them have had medical issues such as
hepatitis, cancer and even neurological is-
sues. Because they had large medical bills
and chose to pay them instead of rent, they
were evicted.
“The laws are hard here [in Utah],”
Towns said. “You can be evicted because
of late rent, even just by a day or two.”
Barbara Hake and her 4-year-old son,
Zach, are one of the families who are cur-
rently participating in the program. They
spent some time in the overflow shelter
at The Road Home before getting into the
program.
“To come from there to here is really
something,” Hank said. “We’re treated like
we’re part of the family here and they make
sure we get everything we need.”
from the Salt Lake County Council to
make planning and zoning decisions.
“It’s sad she’s stepping down but at the
same time, you can only carry that load for
so long,” Keithley said. “But look at all
she’s done; at what happened on the infill
ordinance. The difference in philosophy
and the involvement of the public now is
remarkable.”
Nancy Carlson-Gotts and Blake
Keithley both threw their hats in to replace
Riddle and after a vote by the council,
Keithley was named the new chair, allow-
ing Riddle to focus more attention on her
real estate marketing and home remodel-
ing businesses. Riddle has lived in East
Mill Creek for nearly 15 years with her
husband. Though she plans to scale back
her commitments to the community, she
has no intention of going anywhere for a
while.
“I plan to continue to serve in one form
or another but hopefully in a way that’s a
little more sustainable,” she said, adding
the more people who step forward and get
involved, the less time consuming the job
will be. “It’s been a terrific ride and I’ve
loved every minute of it.”
Volunteers from the congregation make
dinners for the families and do their laun-
dry.
During the daytime, the parents are in-
volved in programs to help them look for
employment and housing, as well as im-
proving their job skills while the children
attend school. The program tries to keep
the children in their home schools.
Some families have their own cars;
Family Promise provides transportation to
a day center and other families use public
transportation.
Once the families have gone through
the program and have found employment,
they are moved into housing which most of
the time, is in their original communities.
Debbi Koltenuk, congregant of Christ
United, partners with Towns to run the
program. She also owns a local restaurant
called Nuch’s Pizzeria and hires a lot of
people from the program to work for her.
Koltenuk finds the program very re-
warding and said the families “still send us
pictures a year later.”
The program is solely run with dona-
tions including all the food, laundry soap,
toys and clothes.
Family Promise is in need of more
church buildings and congregations will-
ing to host the families.

Altogether the school raised more than
$1,600. They were able to provide cleaning
kits, hygiene kits, clothes and Christmas
gifts for five refugee families.
Good in the Hood is a non-profit orga-
nization which helps members of the com-
munity who are in need of help, especially

Dog walkers in Mill Creek Canyon are
being reined in by dog leash ordinances
Forest Service signs in Mill Creek Canyon encourage dog owners to clean up after their pets.
By Tiffany Pyper
Salt Lake County is keeping dog owners
on a tighter leash after receiving several com-
plaints from hikers who frequent Mill Creek
Canyon. Most commonly, some owners have
neglected to keep the animals on leashes in
the parking lots.
“Dogs have always had to be on a leash
in developed areas,” Bev Uipi, Mayor Peter
Corroon’s community relations specialist
said. “The rules have always been in place—
this is not a new ordinance.”
Developed parks, parking lots, picnic ar-
eas, private property and open roads are all

considered developed areas. Issues regarding
owners leashing their dogs seem to come up
every year, Salt Lake County Parks Opera-
tions Manager Wayne Johnson said.
According to Uipi, the U.S. Forest Service
has recently recorded an increasing number of
complaints but she did not have specifics.
The winter months could be a big part of
the problem. “Folks are stepping in piles and
there are less areas for people to walk on with
all of that snow,” Johnson said.
To combat the problem, Forest Service
personnel put signs up the beginning of No-
vember. “We want to keep people honest and

they participate in the program,” Jonelle
says. “If they don’t like it, we pick it up.”
Classes are held Mondays and Tuesdays
and Jonelle encourages those who are inter-
ested to come by and sit in on a class to see
if it’s something they’d be interested in sign-
ing up for. “We have classes all day so they
can drop in anytime between 10 a.m. and 4
compliant with the rules so it doesn’t ruin it
for everyone else,” Johnson said.
“I see dogs off leashes a lot, but it doesn’t
really bother me,” Erin Moore, a Holladay
resident who enjoys biking in Mill Creek
Canyon said. “I think it’s good for dogs to
have a place to run free.”
The current Salt Lake County ordinance
states that for off-leash areas, dog owners
need to check signs and observe boundaries
as well as pick up dog waste immediately.
Some other rules listed by the county include
keeping dogs under voice control and within
their owner’s sight at all times, leashing dogs
showing aggression and requiring dogs to ar-
rive and depart the off-leash area on a leash.
Animal Control will enforce the dog
leash ordinance, according to Johnson. Cita-
tions will be handed out to dog owners who
do not comply with the county signs and
leash rules. They plan to concentrate on the
parking areas for Mill Creek Canyon as well
as Neff’s Canyon.

waste from homes in curbside cans does not make environmental or economic sense. Our economical and popular
residential trailer program provides an excellent alternative: for $30 you get a trailer that will hold two tons of green
material delivered to your home for four days.

Area Cleanup will be our first priority for expanding services. We are looking at how we can offer it twice per
year or have more containers in your neighborhood. In 2010, we will have additional equipment available to pull out
green waste and large items to free up room in the containers for your use.
