We look forward to Summerfest every year as a time when citizens set aside their differences and gather together to enjoy some family-friendly Summer fun. With a wide variety of events, activities, and offerings, there is always something for everyone in Orem the second week of June. This year’s Summerfest theme is “All Together” and is a nod to the All-Together Playground that will be built in September 2016 with donations from local businesses and individuals as well as money from the Orem CARE tax. Playground construction will begin September 5th and will involve thousands of committed volunteers over a 7-day period to build Utah County’s first public playground where kids of all ability levels can play together and reap the social, physical, and cognitive benefits of inclusive play. While we’re working to make our playgrounds more inclusive, we’re also focused on making our city that way as well. We’ve dedicated more resources to getting citizens involved in the governing process and are always looking for new ways to include residents in what we do at City Hall.

The theme is “All Together” celebrating the future building of Orem’s “All Together Playground” for children with disabilities, that all can enjoy. I am excited to be part of the wonderful celebration that is Summerfest. I love the Grand Parade, which this year will honor Jimmer and Whitney Fredette as the Grand Marshalls. I love participating in the parade and meeting with all of the wonderful children, parents, and families that we have in our great city. Just as exciting is the carnival in the park, the entertainment in the outdoor amphitheater, the cool car show, the kids crafts, the baby contest, and this year an evening of storytelling and the Jimmer Ferdette Shootout raising funds for the All Together Playground, as well as many other events. It is always wonderful to enjoy the summer weekend participating in these events as well as strolling through the park visiting the booths, eating the fun foods, and seeing the great fireworks show at night. 10 2016 www.summerfest.orem.org In fact Orem’s Summerfest has one of the best fireworks shows around the valley. I appreciate also the national day of prayer and the time to honor our country and our flag. I appreciate the freedoms we enjoy in our great land and city. It truly is a time for us to have the opportunity to come together and have a week of fun and enjoyment in the summertime in wonderful and exciting Orem. I appreciate our city staff and firemen, and policemen who help us to have a great and safe event. We have strong families, strong neighborhoods, and a strong community in Orem. Our people and families give our great city its strength and vibrancy. Lets help each other to enjoy this year’s Summerfest together. I am excited to get together this year, to celebrate, and to have fun one with another. 424 W. 800 North, Suite 201 Orem, UT 84057 phone: (801) 802-0200 [email protected] CITY OF OREM 56 North State Street Orem, UT 84057 Ph: 801-229-7000 orem.org OFFICE HOURS Monday-Thursday 7:30 to 5:30 Friday 8 to 5 Mayor Brunst www.summerfest.orem.org 2016 11 Photo courtesy BYU Photo Jimmer & Whitney Fredette 2016 OREM SUMMERFEST GRAND MARSHALS The Jimmermania contagion first infected Utah Valley in 2007, Jimmer’s freshman year on the BYU basketball team, when he averaged seven points per game. By March 2010, Jimmer’s senior season when he averaged 29 points per game, Jimmermania had spread not only throughout Utah, but across the country. Jimmer was trending on Twitter and James Taft “Jimmer” Fredette was officially a national celebrity. The NCAA Division I basketball player was named the National Player of the Year and was drafted on June 23, 2011 as the No. 10 overall pick by the Sacramento Kings. To complete the fairytale story, Jimmer married former BYU cheerleader Whitney Wonnacott on June 1, 2012 in the Denver LDS Temple. To date, Jimmer has played for four NBA teams: Sacramento Kings, Chicago Bulls, New Orleans Pelicans and the New York Knicks. 12 2016 www.summerfest.orem.org J immer and Whitney are honored to be the grand marshals for the Orem Summerfest Celebration. This community has supported them over the years, and they feel this is an opportunity to give back. WHAT IS AN ALL-ABILITIES PLAYGROUND? Children with disabilities often cannot play on a standard playground and therefore cannot take advantage of the amazing benefits that play provides. An all-abilities playground is a space that provides inclusive play opportunities for children of all ages and abilities. These types of playgrounds are designed to promote the healthy development of all children’s physical, social, cognitive, and sensory abilities. An all-abilities playground in Orem will give all children in Utah County the chance to play, grow, and learn side-byside. The cost of the playground itself is approximately $665,000. Both public and private donations are needed to do this project right. ALL-TOGETHER SHOOTOUT On June 10th at 6 PM Jimmer will shoot 100 3-point shots at Orem High School, allowing individuals and businesses to pledge for each shot he can hit. More information about the All-Together Shootout can be found at www.alltogethershootout.com. This is a partnership between the City of Orem and the Fredette Family Foundation, with money being shared between the two, but serving the mission of building an inclusive community where all children can play together. the most important unit on earth because strong families create strong schools, communities, and societies. We also believe that the most important and productive way to strengthen families is to produce individuals with strong moral character. Our emphasis is on helping families in need. First we provide for any immediate physical needs families may require. When this is accomplished we can focus on the more important and more permanent goal of producing youth with strong moral character. FREDETTE FAMILY FOUNDATION The mission of the Fredette Family Foundation is to strengthen families.

All-Together Playground JUNE 7 - 11, 2016 Play is the work of children. Play helps kids learn, grow, and develop. In Orem, we believe that all children, regardless of ability level, deserve the opportunity to play together. That’s why Habitat for Humanity, Kids on the Move, United Way of Utah County, the City of Orem, and many local businesses including Vivint and Intermountain Healthcare, have teamed up to build the “All-Together Playground” at the City Center Park. This will be the first all-inclusive playground in Utah County. The All-Together Playground will be built with an army of volunteers over an eight-day period beginning September 5th. Those interested in participating in this historic community effort are invited to visit www. alltogetherplayground.com to make a donation and sign up for Build Week. With your help we will build a sensory-rich experience that will bless the lives of all Orem’s children. 34 2016 www.summerfest.orem.org www.summerfest.orem.org 2016 35 Orem Police Balanced at Performing Duties Orem Fire Fighters also Certified Paramedics MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF OF POLICE M E S S AG E F R O M RYA N P E T E R S O N , B AT TA L I O N C H I E F Chief Gary Giles Orem Police Chief 36 2016 As guardians of society, police personnel have a very difficult job, especially in today’s day and age. In one of his famous broadcasts, What are Policemen Made of?, the late Paul Harvey said of police officers; “What is a policeman made of? He, of all men (and women), is once the most needed and the most unwanted. He’s a strangely nameless creature who is “sir” to his face and “fuzz” to his back. He must be such a diplomat that he can settle differences between individuals so that each will think he won. But...If the policeman is neat, he’s conceited; if he’s careless, he’s a bum. If he’s pleasant, he’s flirting; if not, he’s a grouch. He must make an instant decision which would require months for a lawyer to make. www.summerfest.orem.org But...If he hurries, he’s careless; if he’s deliberate, he’s lazy. He must be first to an accident and infallible with his diagnosis. He must be able to start breathing, stop bleeding, tie splints and, above all, be sure the victim goes home without a limp. Or expect to be sued. The Orem Police Department is comprised of nearly 140 of the best men and women around. Police officers, dispatchers, and a variety of support personnel spend their days serving the citizens and visitors to the City of Orem. They are the most professional people I have ever met and I am humbled to be able to work among them and consider myself one of them. I only hope the community of Orem is able to see the brave, courageous, kind, caring, and honorable people who work for the Orem Police Department. Captain Ryan Peterson Orem Fire Battalion Chief The Orem Fire Department was founded in 1947 and originally staffed with volunteers. The Fire Department has grown tremendously since that time and has developed in a full-time, professional organization. We currently have four fire stations that are staffed with a minimum of four personnel, 24/7/365. Each station has a Fire Captain, Fire Engineer and a minimum of two Firefighter/Paramedics. We are a dual-role department, whereas our personnel are certified, and operate as, firefighters and paramedics. Our personnel hold additional certifications related to firefighting and EMS. We have several personnel who are specially trained in Hazardous Materials, Rope Rescue, Trench Rescue, Confined Space and Structural Collapse. The men and women of the Orem Fire Department are committed to excellence in everything we do. We recognize that the citizens we serve are our customers. We are committed to providing the highest level of professional, compassionate and exceptional service at all times. Public relations and public education are paramount to our success. We conduct public relations events weekly at local schools, religious organizations, birthday parties and other events as requested. Our firefighters thoroughly enjoy interacting with the public and teaching about our profession, and providing education to our customers. The Orem Fire Department is committed to Building a Better Orem through excellent customer service, and in partnership with our citizens. www.summerfest.orem.org 2016 37 Pursue your Dreams MESSAGE FROM MISS OREM 2015, JESSE CRAIG For this past year, I have been able to host and attend every type of event as I represented the city of Orem. Ribbon cuttings, egg hunts, self-esteem presentations for school, and even hot air balloon rides have been a part of my reign. With the help of the Orem Summerfest board and the Orem City Council, I was able to implement the “Orem’s Got Talent!” tradition, and host a Christmas breakfast for the community. We were able to raise more than $1,000 for the Children’s Miracle Network hospitals and “All-Together Playground” through those two events, and I’m excited to see how the traditions continue for years to come. Another project that I was able to chair throughout Orem was collecting unwanted shoes to benefit Burkina Faso, Africa. Orem collected an astounding 3,470 pairs of shoes 38 2016 www.summerfest.orem.org Maddi Millard (Miss Orem 2014) crowns Jesse Craig (Miss Orem 2015) on May 16, 2015. for this project, and I could not be prouder. The advice I would like to give to any girl aspiring to become Miss Orem – or to attain any leadership position – is to fully commit. Instead of wishing, start pursuing. Tomorrow may not come, and the longer you put off that application or phone call, the longer it takes for you to achieve your goals. And when you do achieve your goal, do NOT stop there! For me, Miss Orem was not about one night of competition, it was about finding ways to improve the city, help others, and better myself, every single day of my reign. Thank you Orem city, for giving me this opportunity to represent you. It truly has been a privilege, and I am excited to see what the future holds in store for the best city in Utah.
