For 5 years, the South Salt Lake Character Initiative themes have been gaining momentum to promote positive character in our community. In 2016, Promise South Salt Lake is proud to carry on the tradition begun by the South Salt Lake Coalition for Drug Free Youth in 2010. The program helps reinforce character traits and attributes that people in South Salt Lake excel in, and encourages individuals in the community to expand their own positive character traits. Each month, a new theme is introduced to highlight a positive character trait. Families, schools, afterschool programs, recreation programs, businesses, and faith communities can utilize the featured theme as a discussion launching point: this is an opportunity to illustrate the theme given with examples from our own lives. Organizations and city departments are invited to use the themes in their newsletters and other communication efforts.

The city deserves credit for articulating a viable, long-lasting vision.” Verhaaren said construction is expected to begin in March 2016, barring any unexpected preconstruction issues. The store could be ready to open in November 2016. Mayor Wood said the design of the WinCo store, as well as the landscaping, will match the overall appearance the development. The store’s exterior includes a balanced mix of painted masonry and prefinished metal paneling in warm and elegant white, brown, bronze, and dragon’s breath hues. “We want to develop the downtown district to be eclectic but also compatible in its architecture,” she explained.

Mental Health First Aid Services Helps to ‘Flip The Script’ on Mental Health Issues National leaders such as First Lady Michelle Obama are saying the time has come to “flip the script” on mental health by breaking through the silence and stigma surrounding these issues. Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) emphasizes personalized training to introduce people on how to identify risk factors and warning signs pointing to mental health and substance use problems. Instructors use a five-step action plan to help people get the care their loved ones need in their community. MHFA is similar to the objectives of CPR, which has trained many people to help save lives. MHFA trains people like you and me to assist someone experiencing a mental health crisis. In the MHFA course, trainees will learn risk factors and warning signs for mental health and addiction disorders, as well as strategies for how to help someone in both crisis and non-crisis situations. The South Salt Lake Recreation Department is hosting open gym basketball for adults 18 and older at the Columbus Center, Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6-8 p.m. through March. The fee will be $20 for the entire season. The Columbus Center and the Recreation Department are located at 2531 S. 400 E. Registration is required before playing, call 801-412-3217. Page 4 Relevant topics include depression and mood disorders, anxiety disorders, trauma, psychosis and substance abuse disorders. MHFA is an eight-hour course that includes a three-year certification. Courses are free. For information about trainings or to ask questions, please call Adrienne Buhler at 801-633-5355 A MHFA training will take place Feb 2-3 in South Salt Lake. See ad on page 5 for details.

The City of South Salt Lake took the next step toward creating a downtown for South Salt Lake by adopting a new master plan in December. The plan encourages office space, retail, and multi-family housing to create a complete community. It also proposes several new roads, bike lanes and wide sidewalks to create a walkable downtown. The plan features a new downtown park that is anticipated to be funded through new development. The 200-acre area between 2100 South and I-80 from I-15 West to State Street will likely see up to 7,000 new residents and up to 20,000 new jobs. Building heights are expected to range from two to eight stories. The master plan outlines a vision and standards for design that are upheld by new zoning regulations. These regulations will slowly phase out industrial and warehouse uses in favor of more urban uses. The new zoning will be up for a City Council vote in January.

South Salt Lake • On The Move • City Newsletter Kids & Tech: 10 Tips for Parents in the Digital Age In a world where children are “growing up digital,” it is important to help them learn healthy and ethically responsible concepts of digital use and citizenship. Parents play an important role in teaching these skills. Here are a few tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to help parents manage the digital landscape they are exploring with their children. Treat media the same as any other environment in the child's life. The same parenting guidelines apply in both real and virtual environments. Set limits, as kids need and expect them. Know their friends, both online and off. Know what platforms, software, and apps children are using, where they are going on the web, and what they are doing online. Set limits and encourage playtime. Tech use, like all other activities, should have reasonable limits. Unstructured and offline play stimulates creativity. Make unplugged playtime a daily priority, especially for very young children. And, do not forget to make unplugged play an activity for the entire family. Families who play together, learn together. Family participation is also great for media activities as an opportunity to encourage social interactions, bonding, and learning. Play a video game with kids, which can be a good way to demonstrate good sportsmanship and gaming etiquette. And, parents should introduce and share their own life experiences and perspectives—and guidance—while playing the game. Be a good role model. Teach and model kindness and good manners online. And, because children are great mimics, parents should be mindful of their own media use. In fact, parents will be more available for and connected with children while interacting, hugging and playing with them rather than simply staring at a screen. Know the value of face-to-face communication. Very young children learn best through two-way communication. Engaging in back-and-forth "talk time" is critical for language development. Conversations can be face-to-face or, if necessary, by video chat, with a traveling parent or grandparent who lives far away. Research indicates that "back-and-forth conversation" improves language skill much more so than "passive" listening or one-way interaction with a screen. Create tech-free zones. Keep family mealtimes and other family and social gatherings tech-free. Recharge devices overnight outside the bedroom to help children avoid the temptation to use them when they should be sleeping. These changes encourage more family time, healthier eating habits and better sleep, all critical for children's wellness. Don't use technology as an emotional pacifier. Media can be very effective in keeping kids calm and quiet, but it also should not be the only way they learn to calm themselves. Children need to be taught how to identify and handle strong emotions, come up with activities to manage boredom, or calm down through breathing, talking about ways to solve the problem, and finding other strategies for channeling emotions. Apps for kids: do the homework. More than 80,000 apps are labeled as educational, but little research has demonstrated their actual effective impact. Products pitched as "interactive" should require more than "pushing and swiping." Look to organizations like Common Sense Media for reviews about age-appropriate apps, games, and programs as a guide in making the best choices for children. It's OK for teens to be online. Online relationships are part of typical adolescent development. Social media can support teens as they explore and discover more about themselves and their place in the grown-up world. Just be sure teens are behaving appropriately in both the real and online worlds. Many teens need to be reminded that a platform's privacy settings do not make things actually "private" and that images, thoughts, and behaviors teens share online will instantly become a part of their digital footprint indefinitely. Keep lines of communication open and let them know the space and time to discuss are always available if they have questions or concerns. Remember: Kids will be kids. Kids will make mistakes using media. Try to handle errors with empathy and turn a mistake into a teachable moment. But some indiscretions, such as sexting, bullying, or posting self-harm images, may be a red flag that hints at trouble ahead. Parents should take a closer look at their child's behaviors and, if needed, enlist supportive professional help, including from the family pediatrician. Media and digital devices are an integral part of the world today. The benefits of these devices, if used moderately and appropriately, can be great. But, research has shown that face-to-face time with family, friends, and teachers plays a pivotal and even more important role in promoting children's learning and healthy development. Keep the face-to-face up front, and do not let it get lost behind a stream of media and tech. Chamber Update The South Salt Lake Chamber’s activities continue at a brisk pace.
