Dr. Gailey’s Valuable Team
Friend of the Community Business Award
The Syracuse Family Dental Clinic has been selected to receive the semiannual Friend of the Community Business
Award. The award is given to a Syracuse business that has
proven itself to be a friend of the community through social
responsibility, philanthropic actions, and commitment to the
community. The Syracuse Family Dental Clinic has excelled in
each one of those categories. Dr. Michael Gailey founded the
clinic in 1982 and since then, he and the clinic has generously
contributed to the well being of our community in many ways. Dr. Gailey has contributed by providing high quality
dental care, creating local jobs, serving on city council, leading the local SBOSS (Syracuse Business Organization for
Strategic Synergy), serving in his church, and being an exemplary and loving family man.
Dr. Gailey’s practice was the first dental office in the city. His office was located where the Iceberg restaurant is now
sited. He and his wife started out living in the basement of the old home and running the dental office upstairs. Dr.
Gailey chose to begin his career as a dentist here in the city in order to be close to the rural home town values and
friendly businesses that he remembered from his boyhood spent
growing up here in Syracuse. Dr. Gailey warmly recalled a time
when he would find large boxes at R.C. Willey’s and take them
to local hay barns where he and his friends would build forts using bales of hay as walls and the boxes as a roof. He also remembers going to the Jetta Walker store to sweep its floors in exchange for penny candy. Dr. Gailey has worked diligently to offer
that same small town charm at his current clinic.
Dr. Gailey and Syracuse Family Dental Clinic have shown their
commitment to bolstering Syracuse’s community minded atmosDr. Gailey’s First Office
phere through decades of service to the community.
Dr. Gailey’s current office located at 1747 South Heritage Lane Suite B #201

Road Construction Updates
During this Summer and Fall, our city streets have
been getting some maintenance. In order to keep you
aware of where and when construction and maintenance is occurring, you may check our website for road
construction updates. This is found by clicking: Departments; Public Works; Road construction updates.
Storm Water
Did you know that one of the best and simple ways
to improve curb appeal to your home is by removing
the overgrowth, sediment, and debris that collects in
the curb and gutter over time? Doing so, not only enhances the appeal of your home making it attractive,
but also helps to keep our storm water clean before
entering the pipes and ditches that empty into our
Great Salt Lake. Clean gutters also improve water flow
and prevents water-ponding that often times leads to
moss growth during hot conditions. Clean gutters also
helps to reduce deterioration that occurs to our roads,
thereby helping to extend the life of our roads. Incorporating this simple practice into our routine yard
maintenance will help to make our city a more attractive, clean, efficient, and healthy place to live!
Fix-It Request
We appreciate our citizens helping us to be aware of
repairs and maintenance that need to be done throughout the city. The city website has been a great tool for
providing us notification. The Fix-it Request link can be
found on our home page; look under popular pages.

Syracuse Fire Department
Fall Safety Message
Fall is almost here! That means it’s almost time for
Fire Prevention Week. The theme for this year is
“Have 2 Ways Out” (for your fire home evacuation
plan). The Syracuse Fire Department will be hosting
an open house for Fire Prevention Week on Thursday, October 11, from 6 to 8pm at our fire station,
located at 1869 South 3000 West. In conjunction with this year’s theme we will have activities that focus on how to
protect your family from fire by planning ahead and integrating simple things into your everyday life that will help keep
you safe. Bring the whole family! We look forward to seeing you! You can visit the Fire Prevention Week website at,
www.firepreventionweek.org, for safety tips, statistical information, and more.
Fires
in the home take a great toll on life and property each year. There are many ways we can reduce
t h e
chance of having a fire in our home. We encourage everyone to make time this season to clean
and
service their home heating appliances, making sure the furnace, boiler, fireplace or other heat
producing appliance is safely ready for colder temperatures. Checking belts, removing dust
and debris, replacing filters, providing adequate ventilation and checking the overall functionality is essential for efficient and safe appliance operation. Some people are comfortable taking care of those issues themselves, but if you are not, contact a licensed professional to
check your home heating system.
Installing and maintaining safety systems such as smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, as well as identifying potential hazards, can reduce the risk of home fires and property loss, injury, or death due to fire. Nearly two-thirds of home structure fire deaths occur
in homes where there was no smoke detector or where smoke alarms were present but
failed to operate. Fall is a good time to replace the batteries in your smoke and CO detectors. Many false alarms occur due to dust, excessive moisture or spider webs in the sensor. Use your vacuum hose with the brush attachment and vacuum the surface and outside
edges of your detectors at least twice each year.
Syracuse Fire Department is ready to serve you 24 hours a day 365 days a year. We take our job seriously with customer service being our priority. We offer CERT, CPR and first aid training by appointment, as well as fire station
tours. Please come join us for our Fire Prevention Open House on October 11, and if you have any questions about
our services please feel free to contact us at 801-614-9614. Be Safe!
SYRACUSE RESIDENT WINS PRESTIGIOUS “MARINE OF THE YEAR” AWARD
THE 4TH MARINE DIVISION FOR THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS
Arlington, VA – Syracuse resident Sergeant Brian A. Phillips was awarded the 4th Marine Division’s Marine of the Year at the 9th Annual Marine Corps Association & Foundation Ground
Awards Dinner on Thursday, 28 June at the Crystal Gateway Marriott, in Arlington, Virginia.
The dinner served as the opportunity to recognize the four Marine Divisions' Marines of the Year,
the recipients of the 2011 Leftwich Trophy, Hulbert Trophy, Zembiec Trophy, the Chambers
Award, and the MARSOC NCO/Critical Skills Operator of the Year.
“MCA&F is proud to recognize these Marines for their exceptional achievement and duty to the
Corps,” said MajGen Edward G. Usher III, USMC (Ret) and President/CEO of the MCA&F. “That’s
why the MCA&F exists. We encourage continued education, first-rate leadership and career advancement. We honor the professional excellence of Marines who serve our county every day.”
Sgt Phillips is from Salt Lake City, Utah and is currently serving on the Inspector-Instructor staff with Fox Company,
2d Battalion, 23d Marines. He deployed to Iraq twice and performed duties such as MRAP driver, gunner, vehicle commander, navigator, patrol leader, and section leader in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Sgt Phillips chose military
service because his father was in the Army and he wanted to follow in his footsteps. Sgt Phillips was accompanied by
his wife, Stacia Phillips, and his father, Jack Phillips. His sister, Tiffany and brother-in-law, David were also present.
General Dynamics and the Marine Corps Association and Foundation sponsored this award.

Police Beat
Drug Take Back Initiative
On Saturday, September 29 from 10am to 2pm at Smith’s located
at 951 West 1700 South, Syracuse Police Department (in partnership
with the DEA) will be holding their National Drug Take Back Initiative. This is a great opportunity to remove all dangerous controlled
substances and other medications from your medicine cabinet.
The School Bell is Ringing ...Slow Down
Following speed laws around school zones is not just the prudent,
legal thing to do, but its a life safety measure. Especially during drop
off and pickup times, the school zones can be extremely crowded
with vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists. During the first week of
school there can be the added complication of new students and parents who are attempting to find the right place to drop off or park.
Its not all about the driver, it also comes down to educating our
new students about the rules of the road and appropriate pedestrian
safety measures. Take time to discuss with your child the safe way to
cross the street and the importance of not just checking once but
checking and rechecking to make sure its safe to cross. Its also about
stranger dangers and how to react to persons that you don’t know.
For bicyclists, make sure new school commuters are fully aware of
the rules of the road, can safely operate their bike under a variety of
circumstances, and know how to react to those unusual circumstances that always seem to pop up in life. Safety tips include:
• Walk on sidewalks
• Always discuss your route with your
parents
• Look out for cars when crossing
the street
• Keep away from strangers
• Be on the lookout for cars
• Identify the best and safest
route for your travels
• Keep your helmet on and
strapped at all times when riding a
bike
• Expect the unexpected from drivers

Ordinance Enforcement
Property Maintenance Responsibilities;
Sidewalks and Park Strips
It is unlawful for any owner, agent,
lessee, and/or occupant of real property abutting and bordering any public
street in the City to fail to keep the
weeds and grasses within park
strips or other adjacent landscaped or
open areas within a dedicated public
right-of-way from growing taller
than 6 inches or to fail to promptly clear and remove the
cuttings from the premises in order to prevent them from becoming scattered or blown onto adjacent properties. However, this
shall not apply to any ornamental grass so long as it is used and maintained solely, or in combination with any other ornamental grass or
grasses, as a supplement to an overall landscaping plan. Additionally, owners, agents, or lessees of undeveloped properties or
vacant lots with no buildings or structures must keep the
weeds and grasses from growing taller than 12 inches at all
times and must promptly clear and remove the cuttings
from the premises as well. Weeds that are roto-tilled or removed by the root must be buried under the soil or removed from
the property. Please be sure to edge the park strips sufficiently to prevent any grass or weeds from growing over the
curbing.
Chloe’s Sunshine
Playground to
Benefit from Gala
Davis County’s annual black-tie Gala, will
be held the evening of Sept. 6 at the Davis
Conference Center in Layton. Guests will
be entertained by the adorable African
Children’s Choir. Each year the event
raises funds for a charitable cause. This
year’s cause is Syracuse’s own Chloe’s Sunshine Playground. The proposed playground will be a specially designed place
where disabled children and their families
will be able to play side by side other children without disabilities. The proposed
playground has been the recipient of many
charitable events in the community for the
last few years. All of the combined fundraisers have raised around $200,000 dollars
so far. The Gala will get us closer to the
$400,000 needed to construct the first
phase of the playground. For table sponsorship or individual reservations, contact
Annette Hanson at: (801) 451-3278
