Pleasant View August News

Open Letter from Mayor Call:

It seems as if summer just started and is in full on heat mode, but we are only a couple of weeks away from the beginning of the school year. This always makes me feel as if my summer is slipping away. We have started many projects that I am sure you have noticed happening around the City. It is amazing how many things are happening on a daily basis here in our City. Here is a partial list of things that are going on:

• The new Trigon C-store has opened on the corner of Rulon White Blvd. and 2700 North. Check it out!
• The new Free-standing ER to be located at 600 West 2700 North is under final plan review.
• The new Capstone Charter School located on Highway 89 is in the final construction phase and plans to be open for this school year.
• The City received a grant from WACOG for $152,000 to finish the intersection at the top of 500 West and construction there should be wrapping up shortly.
• The City is working on multiple grants to secure funding for Skyline Drive.
• The City will be starting construction of restrooms at the new multi-sports park located on Hwy 89. We received a $200,000 RAMP grant to make this possible.
• Storm water work on Pleasant View Drive between 1100 W and 1375 W has been completed.
• The 2018-19 road repairs are well under way.
• The “Safe Schools” sidewalk project along 2550 North leading to Wasatch Elementary will be completed and ready for the school year.
• The fencing of the Little Missouri spring source protection area is underway.
• Many smaller projects are under way to improve parks, sidewalks, ADA accesses, storm water, and other areas.
• Lastly, it has become necessary for the City to close access to the trailhead at the top of Cottonwood Drive from the hours of 10:00 pm – 5:00 am. This has become somewhat of a party spot and this action is necessary to protect this sensitive area.

Once again, thanks for caring, thanks for all you do, and thanks for being good neighbors. I am committed to doing whatever it takes to ensure that we remain the best place to not only grow up, but the best place to grow old.

Mayor Leonard Call

Future Business Leaders of America Club members Taylor Laing, Maxwell Lunt, and David White take second place nationally. “Our message was protection and prevention from cyberbullying for the students.” Laing said, “The focus for our presentation was for youth to find help and to do our best to stop this epidemic from spreading. We were able to give accurate statistics of those affected, and the rates at which it is spreading. We also offered a solution: the SafeUtah App.”  Lunt said, “While it was a given topic, we loved spreading awareness of the rising problem.”

Laing, a two-year FBLA veteran, continued the team’s focus behind their PSA, pointing out that “No more should students need to bow down to the harsh words of others when they can find help and gain a greater strength to stand up to these bullies–whether calling them out or standing up for themselves or reaching out for help. We chose this because each of us has been affected by cyberbullying within our schooling lives. However, we all admit that we didn’t talk to anybody about it.”

Future Business Leaders of America is a club at Weber High that prepares students for the real-world and the business side of life. For three Warriors, all upcoming seniors, FBLA is an avenue to ride their passions. Lucky for them, they are also good at it…like, second place nationally good.

Last month, other members of the Weber High FBLA team joined these young men and flew from Utah to the East Coast to compete in FBLA Nationals. The group was able to visit Washington DC, including a special tour of the capital hosted by Rob Bishop’s office. After sightseeing, the team took a bus to Baltimore, where they stayed in a hotel that overlooked Inner Harbor. Once in the land of crab-cakes and Orioles, it was all business (pun intended) as the young adults from Weber High split into their various groups to compete in their events.

Kendall and Kambree Strasburg were among elite company in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, at the end of June. The twelve- year-old twin sisters were selected to participate in the USA softball All-American games. Just 360 girls nationwide were selected to play in the tournament.

Their team was made up of fifteen girls from Utah, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho, and Washington. The Region 9 East Team had an uphill battle because they faced teams that had been playing together all year when they met for the first time in Oklahoma City.

The teams played at the USA hall of fame complex including the “big field” where the national team plays, and where the College World Series is held. Kendall loved facing great hitters as a pitcher, some of the twelve-year-old girls were bigger than her dad she said.

Region 9 had a tough draw in their first pool game facing the returning champions from Texas. Their second pool game was in hand when they gave up a 3-1 lead in the last inning losing 4-3. The next day after a severe thunderstorm delay the team fell to a team from California ending Region 9’s tournament.
