The transition teams are required to
have a final report to legislators by Aug.
1. They began to meet in January. Since
then, the west side rejected two proposals

a counterproposal that the east side reject-
ed.
With that history, the two transition
teams view their current situation differ-
ently.
“We’re certainly not at a point that we

his team has requested that two-person ne-
gotiating teams from each side continue
to meet, but that the east side has not re-
sponded to that request.
What the east side has done, however,
is to begin gathering information to pres-
ent to arbitrators. Chief among that infor-
mation is how much it would cost to bring
the condition of the east side schools on
par with the west side. The average age of
schools on the east side is 35 years, com-
pared to 10 years on the west side. Many
don’t meet current seismic standards, don’t
have air conditioning and lack the state-of-
the-art technology on hand in west-side
schools.
The west-side’s counterproposal de-
clines to value the buildings, saying that
each side simply will receive the schools
located within their boundaries. This is op-
posed to a principle adopted by both sides
on Feb. 18, which stated that “the agreed
value of school buildings” would be taken

Olympus senior ends multi-sport Winners of state golf championship
career with stellar state finish
Brighton, Olympus
enjoy softball successes
By Michelle Taft
It had been a long time since the Brigh-
ton softball team could say two things: they
made the state tournament and they beat
Alta. But this year, they did both.
The Bengals overcame a slow start
to finish the last five games of the season
4-1, including victories over rivals Alta
and Jordan.
“Beating Alta was a great accomplish-
ment for the girls,” said coach Mike Terry.
“That’s something I think most of the girls
on the team have never done before. It’s
been a long time, too, since we beat Jor-
dan.”
The 6-4 region record tied Alta’s record,
but the late-season victory over the Hawks
gave the Bengals the second place finish in
the region behind undefeated Taylorsville.
“I’m glad things picked up for Brigh-
ton,” said pitcher Kyrstie Terry. “It was real-
ly good being on a team that actually won.”
Mike Terry has been coaching his twin
daughters, seniors Kyrstie and Kayla Terry,
for the past two years and was an assistant
coach when they were sophomores. He said
this year’s senior class went from winning
only four games as freshmen, to six their
sophomore year, then 10 last year and 11
this year.

June 13 & 14 at the Cottonwood Heights Recreation Center; and Cottonwood Heights residents were so involved
that next year it will be called the American Cancer Society Cottonwood Heights Relay for Life. This year’s event
far outshone the relay held last year, both in participants and in amount of money raised.
Twenty-five teams participated this year and collectively they raised over $31,000. Various members of the city
council, including Mayor Kelvyn Cullimore and numerous members of the city staff participated.
The city thanks Stone Surface Specialists, Canyon Inn, June S. Chen, MD, and Robert Bates
for their financial contributions. A BIG THANK YOU also to all of those who walked in the
relay, those who helped with fund raising, and those who worked as volunteers. Susannah
Hutchins, City Events Coordinator, worked closely with the American Cancer Society to
make it a successful venture.
