MAYOR RANDALL’S MAYOR RANDALL’S MESSAGEMESSAGE

Cover Photo by:Dave Becker

Michele RandallCity of St. George Mayor

Recently, I read about a couple who had lost everything in the devastating Paradise, Calif., wildfire. As they were looking to relocate, the wife said, “When we dropped into Utah, my husband said he could hear angels singing. He said it just felt like home.”

So many people agree: St. George feels like home. As our population grows, I want to retain that community spirit — some of us refer to it as the Dixie Spirit — that is inviting, charitable and kind. That will always be a goal I strive toward in my new role as Mayor of St. George.

I have served on the City Council for seven years. In that time, I have learned so much from so many people, including former Mayor Jon Pike, each of the council members I served with, our city manager and our department heads.

I’ve worked hard for our residents and our city employees. I have returned almost every email and phone call I’ve received the last seven years from residents. I’ve met with them in their homes or at city hall to help them find a solution to a problem they were having. I’ve been a conduit between residents and city hall.

I serve on the board of the Utah League of Cities and Towns. Why is this important? St. George sits 300 miles south of the major population center of the state — and is often an afterthought to those along the Wasatch Front. Being on the ULCT board gives St George a seat at the table to have our issues heard and addressed.

I’ve lived in St George since 1978. I’ve attended schools here. I’ve raised my family here and now my children are raising their families here. I’ve been a small business owner here. I’ve witnessed St George grow from a small town of 13,000 people to the seventh largest city in Utah — with continued growth on the horizon.

Yet I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I will seek out the council’s opinions on the many important issues that come before us. I will also rely on our city manager, city attorney and department heads for their advice and expertise. And I will be available to all residents and will continue to respond to everyone, personally, as much as possible.

As I look on the wall of photographs showing the previous 32 mayors of my city, I notice a similarity: They are all men. As the first female Mayor of St. George, I realize I have an enormous duty. I promise to try to live up to the legacy of those who came before me and move St. George forward in the best way possible.

<<-- TUNE UP THE HVAC SYSTEMThis may require hiring a HVAC contractor that can check for fluid leaks, examine and tighten all electrical parts, check the blower belt and the motor. Regular maintenance of the system can make it last longer and run more efficiently.

CHANGE THE AIR FILTERS -->> Clogged filters force an HVAC unit to work harder to cool our home. This can lead not only to higher electric bills it can also shorten the lifespan of the unit. Filters should be changed at a minimum every three months.

<<-- CHECK YOUR VENTSIs there anything blocking them? Make sure they are free from dust and direct the air toward the center of the room. Along with making sure our HVAC system is working at its best, there are other actions that can save you money.

INSULATION -->>In most homes, the most significant air leaks are hidden in the attic. Even if you have enough insulation in your attic, sealing attic air leaks will save energy and make your home feel more comfortable. The recommended amount of insulation for most attics is about 10 to 14 inches deep depending on the type of insulation.

<<-- SEAL AND INSULATE DUCTSThis can increase the efficiency of your HVAC system by 20 percent and increase air flow.

SWITCH TO MORE EFFICIENT LIGHTING -->>Energy Star certified Compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and light-emitting diodes (LED) in recessed lights use 70 to 90 percent less energy than traditional bulbs and last 15 to 25 times longer. Select bulbs specifically designed for recessed lights. <<-- INSTALL A CEILING FANOn hotter days, you can turn the thermostat up by two degrees. Use your ceiling fan to move the air to keep you comfortable. This can save up to 14% over the course of the summer on your air conditioning bill. Remember, ceiling fans only cool people, not the room, so turn it off when you leave the room.

CLOSE THE DRAPES -->>To help keep the warmth of the summer sun out of your home, close the drapes or window shades, particularly the ones on west facing windows.

By David Cordero

By Rene Fleming By Rene Fleming

We are at the point of the year where many of us are turning on our air conditioners for the first time since last fall. There are a few maintenance items that are important to do before

the summer heat arrives to make sure the system is operating as efficiently as possible.

BE PREPARED HERE’S HOWBEFORE YOU REVUP THE A/C

TO USE WATER MORE EFFICIENTLY

Resources: www.energystar.gov

It’s spring, the time of year our attention turns to gardening, yard maintenance and perhaps revamping of our landscapes. For the Water Department, spring brings an increase in water use and demand on our system. Generally, about 60 percent of the drinking water we deliver to our customers is used on our landscapes.

This shows that we have excellent opportunity to save water — and money — by improving our efficiency. There are a variety of local resources available. If you’re not sure what to plant, visit one of our community gardens.

<<-- THE GARDENThe Garden at 1851 S Dixie Drive is a 2-acre garden, dedicated in 2002. It showcases mature traditional landscapes with irrigation systems designed to water more efficiency, keeping landscapes healthy while reducing water use.

THE RED HILLS DESERT GARDEN -->>The Red Hills Desert Garden at 375 E Red Hills Parkway showcases a wide variety of plants well adapted to our area. The plants in this garden utilize a drip irrigation which delivers water directly to the plant roots, reducing the amount lost to evaporation. Along with a palate of plant color and texture, you can also learn more about the endangered fish species of the Virgin River. The garden includes a meandering stream along with a fish viewing area.

<<-- WASHINGTON COUNTY WATER CONSERVANCY The Washington County Water Conservancy District (WCWD), in cooperation with the City, offers free monthly gardening classes. Classes cover a variety of topics; a list of upcoming workshops is available at www.wcwcd.org/events

When it’s time to turn on your sprinkler control, look at the settings. In April and May, our lawns need to be watered about twice a week. Allow the water to soak deep into the soil to create healthy root systems and eliminate runoff. This may require setting your controller to cycle the irrigation. Water for four to eight minutes and cycle it to run again — allowing an hour between each cycle for the water to soak into the soil. The goal is to put 5/8 of an inch of water into the soil with each irrigation.

If you’re not sure how long you should run your system to get a

good deep irrigation, sign up for a free water check at:

www.wcwcd.org/conservation/programs/

If you’re considering replacing appliances, check out the EPA’s WaterSense

website for water & energy products: www.epa.gov/watersense.

LLieutenant Quentin Murdock was a longtime St. George resident who served with the famed 1st Infantry Division during World War II. He saw, in his words, “more combat than most” during the war, leading platoons in North Africa, Sicily and Normandy as the Allies fought to liberate Europe from Nazi rule.

I was fortunate to spend significant time with Murdock in his twilight years before his death in 2018 at age 99. He spoke often of his experiences during the war — the good, the bad and the terrifying. One man, in Murdock’s mind, stood out.

Corporal John “Pat” Forde of Brooklyn, New York, was among the most dependable men in Murdock’s platoon. Fast friends, despite a discrepancy in rank, they shared in the deprivations of combat in North Africa and Sicily. Murdock recalled how he and Forde shared a blanket to stay warm on cold nights. Murdock thought it was a good arrangement; Forde wasn’t so sure. Tired of hauling the heavy blanket throughout the hot days, Forde cut it in half so Murdock could carry his share.

During a break from combat in 1943 Forde wrote a letter to his father, a veteran of World War I. Like many soldiers, Forde longed for home. And although many who were fighting overseas were unclear on exactly why they were there, Forde understood completely.

“I am homesick and would chuck the whole thing if I thought we weren’t right in what we are fighting for. Our cause is one of the oldest in civilization. Not democracy, as you fought for; not liberty, as many men died for, but survival against a scientific scourge which seeks to subdue and murder the entire world. When we have finished, everyone will be able to sleep without fear of death, talk without fear of persecution, sing because you want to, not because someone tells you, and live because it is good to live.”

Live because it is good to live. The end was more than two years away. Yet Forde would not take part in the celebration.

Early the morning of D-Day, June 6, 1944, Forde stormed Omaha Beach as part of the second wave of the Normandy invasion. The soldiers who managed to reach shore were stymied by German machine gun fire. Finally, a path off the beach was cleared and Forde scurried up the slope.

Then, tragedy. Forde stepped on a mine, the force of which propelled his body onto a second mine. At age 22, Forde surrendered all his tomorrows for our today.

For many years I helped escort veterans of World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War on trips to Washington D.C. through the non-profit organization Utah Honor Flight. Each veteran had their own reactions to the experience. The memorials brought long-ago memories back to the surface. In some instances, they felt comfortable enough to share what was on their mind. Their dialogue had, for a moment, brought a fallen comrade back to life, calling to mind what novelist George Eliot once wrote, “the dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.”

I ask all veterans to observe Memorial Day by remembering a buddy who didn’t survive the war. Tell us about what you had in common, what you remember most about them, their hopes, their dreams and what they meant to you.

If that person lives on in your words, they will live on in our hearts.

A time to remember those who gave their tomorrows for our today

A Time to Remember

“I am homesick and would chuck the whole thing if I thought we weren’t right in what we are fighting for .”

In all U.S. wars, dating back to the Revolutionary War, more than 1.3 million have been lost. We have a moral obligation to remember these veterans. We have been touched by loss here recently, with

the death of Sgt. Bryan Cooper Mount in Syria in July 2020.

Because of the sacrifices of Mount and some many others, the City of St. George is working to bring a Gold Star Families Memorial

Monument downtown to Historic Town Square. We will need donations to make this happen. We will share more on sgcity.org

and on social media as the process moves along.

served on the board of directors for many civic and non-profit organizations. They include:

• Utah League of Cities and Towns • Veterans Coalition of Southern Utah • Doctors’ Volunteer Clinic • Washington County Solid Waste •ShadeTreeandBeautification • St. George Musical Theater • Dixie Transportation Executive Council

She has also served as the Council liaison to the St. George Police Department and St. George Fire Department.

“I want to be a conduit between all of these people and City Hall,” Randall says. “I’ll meet with anybody, listen to their concerns and see if we can find common ground and reach solutions.”

Randall and her husband Tony were the owners of Dixie Ambulance, which served the community from 1999 to 2013. They are the parents of four and grandparents of nine. Those grandchildren, including four girls, now understand that it is reasonable for a woman to strive to become the top elected official in the largest city in Southern Utah.

“In addition to my own grandchildren, I think all little girls and women who have dreams and goals can see that anything is possible,” Randall says. “On a wall inside City Hall you will see a long line of men who have been mayors. I am thrilled that there is now a woman there, and maybe there will be many more to come.”

1997 and was Chairman of the Board in 1996. He also served on the Habitat Conservation Advisory Committee from 2001-2005. Volunteering with local service clubs has also been a part of his commitment to the area. His involvement includes: • President of the Breakfast Exchange Club in 1992 • Chairman of the Board for United Way Dixie in 1996 • President of the Rotary Club of Dixie Sunrise in 2000-2001 • President of the Dixie Sunshiners (Chamber of Commerce ambassadors) in 2000 • Chairman of the Board for Leadership Dixie 2002-2003 • President of the Rotary Bowl Association from 2002-2004 • Chairman of the Foundation of Dixie Regional Medical Center and a Trustee on the Governing Board for Dixie Regional Medical Center • Founding Trustee and first Chairman of the Board for the Leadership Academy

Curtis says he is eager to collaborate with members of the public, elected officials and business leaders to help take on the challenges of growth and development, water conservation and attainable housing. Curtis’ term ends Dec. 31, 2021.

““There is something There is something awesome about this awesome about this

place and I think itplace and I think it ’’s s the peoplethe people ..””

A recent phone message brought a smile to Michele Randall’s face. It did not include a joke or contain praise from a constituent. It was from a youngster who can’t possibly grasp the significance of the history Randall recently made. Yet she knows exactly what to call her.

“Hello, Grandma Mayor!”

For the first time in the 159-year history of St. George, that type of greeting rings true. Randall was sworn in as Mayor of St. George on Jan. 21, 2021, filling the role until the next election in November. Randall, who has served on the City Council since 2014, was appointed by a vote of 4-1.

Among her top concerns are water, transportation, public safety and maintaining a clean and friendly environment.

“There is something awesome about this place and I think it’s the people,” Randall says. “It’s very important to me that St. George maintains that small-town feel, even as we grow. People come here for a reason.”

A resident of St. George for 42 years, Randall has twice been elected to the City Council. She has

For more than 30 years, Vardell Curtis has helped move the community forward. That sense of connection to the city along with his extensive experience helped propel the longtime St. George resident to a position on St. George City Council. Curtis was appointed to the Council on Feb. 11, 2021, filling the seat vacated by Michele Randall, now the Mayor. “I’m happy to be here, happy to serve the people of this fine city and happy to focus on the work ahead,” says Curtis, who previously served on the St. George Planning Commission. “I believe the best years for this city are still ahead of us. I’m thrilled be part of the process — the preparation, planning and implementation of the actions we take as a Council going forward.” Curtis is the longtime Chief Executive Officer and Executive Vice President of the Washington County Board of REALTORS®. Curtis served as the Chairman of the Utah Association of REALTORS® Executive Officer Committee in 2002, 2006, and again in 2009. Curtis has also been involved with the community in many other capacities. He served on the Board of Directors for the St. George Area Chamber of Commerce from 1991 through

Mayor Pike

THANK YOUM

Mayor Jon Pike resigned January 4, 2021, to accept a position on Governor Spencer Cox’s cabinet as the Commissioner of the Utah Insurance Department. Pike was twice elected to the City Council, serving from 2008-2014; and twice elected as Mayor, serving from 2014-2021.

Though all elected officials in St. George are considered part-time, the work involved necessitates more than a part-time effort. We applaud Pike for 13 years of high energy, omnipresent optimism and the many sacrifices endured while helping make St. George a great place to live.

Two athletic events are sure to infuse the St. George area with adrenaline of big-time competition and spirit.

After a one-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, IRONMAN 70.3 North American Pro Championship triathlon returns to St. George May 1. Then Sept. 17-18, St. George welcomes the top athletes on earth during the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship.

“The immediate economic impact of this event is substantial, but the long-term opportunities it provides go far beyond the boost that comes on race week,” said Kevin Lewis, director of the Greater Zion Convention & Tourism Office. “This event generates more media exposure than just about any event we have here, and the stories and images that are shared help reveal the amazing dynamics of our people and our landscapes.”

The world championship event originated in Clearwater, Florida in 2006 and moved to Henderson, Nevada (2011-13) prior to embarking on a global annual rotation that began with Mont-Tremblant, Quebec, Canada (2014). Each year since, it has reached new locations all over the world, including Zell am See-Kaprun, SalzburgerLand, Austria (2015);

At the Feb. 4 meeting of the St. George City Council, Dallas-based artist Angela Mia De la Vega was honored for the gift of her bronze sculpture, “Anika,” to the City. De la Vega generously donated the artwork – valued at $8,500 – to become part of the City’s permanent public art collection, following its installation as part of the Art Around the Corner outdoor sculpture gallery.

Standing 3-feet tall, “Anika” clutches a duckling to her chest while gazing off into the distance. De la Vega crafted and named the sculpture in honor of her then 3-year-old goddaughter, whose mother grew up on a farm.

St. George Mayor Michele Randall said De la Vega’s donation is greatly appreciated by the entire St. George community. “Anika perfectly embodies the innocence of the very young,” Randall said. “She will be prized by everyone who sees her, for years to come.”

The sculpture will be installed at a permanent location, with the site to be determined.

Mooloolaba, Queensland, Australia (2016); Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States (2017); and Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa (2018) and Nice, France (2019). “By moving the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship to premier destinations around the globe each year, IRONMAN has created an inspirational event unlike any other, and we are thrilled to be part of the elite community of world championship host cities,” Lewis added. “Our course showcases some of the most dramatic landscapes on the IRONMAN 70.3 circuit. The powerful combination of scenery and terrain is backed up by an energetic community that is exhilarated to host such an iconic event. Athletes who have raced here rave about the experience. Those who haven’t are about to find out why.” St. George’s breathtaking scenery and views of the surrounding red rock canyons have made the community an ideal destination for IRONMAN races since 2010.

The race has historically begun with a swim in the beautiful Sand Hollow Reservoir before transitioning to the bike course through picturesque Snow Canyon State Park, ending with a run through the Red Cliffs Desert Reserve.

DSU nationally recognized as bicycle friendly Dixie State University was one of 38 institutions nationwide to be recognized as a bicycle-friendly university by The League of American Bicyclists.

DSU was named to the honorable mention list of Bicycle Friendly Universities. This honor is awarded to institutions that create a healthy community in which students can safely get around campus by bike. The application process helps universities learn how to better build and maintain a campus environment that welcomes students who bike.

“The application process was a good experience and has spurred events and positive partnerships with DSU’s Sustainability Club, the Southern Utah Bicycle Alliance, the City of St. George and others,” said Josh Thayn, Dixie State’s executive director of event services and risk management.

When evaluating an institution, the league considers initiatives such as connected bike paths, storage options, bike maintenance and how a university prioritizes the health of its students and staff. Similar to The League of American Bicyclists, DSU puts a heavy emphasis on the well-being of its students, with its “active learning. active life.” approach to education.

The initiative kicked off with a pop-up bike lane along University Avenue that students and community members tested March 16 and 17.
