Because of poor eye sight, I am blessed with the opportunity to wear corrective lenses. Each morning as I put my contacts in, I think how grateful I am for these lenses that help me to see more clearly. 
Here in Orem, we are blessed with many amenities that can also help bring clarity and focus to our life. Here are just a few:
  • Exercise at the Recreation Center
  • Go for a walk in any of our beautiful parks
  • Learn from the best books at the library
  • Gather with friends at the Senior Friendship Center 
  • Enjoy a hike in the beautiful mountains around us
  • Attend a church or place of worship
  • Observe birds and other animals
What are some things you have found, that help bring focus to your life?
With Spring at our doorstep, now is a perfect time to get out and enjoy some of these amazing resources.

Message from the Beautification Commission

Spring is just around the corner and the hibernating critters (squirrels and

friends) will be waking. Their favorite thing to do is dig up your flowers & veggies in your gardens. Nothing is more frustrating than competing with the squirrels, trying everything under the sun to discourage them from digging everything up.


There’s several recipes to discourage critters in your gardens without

poisoning them. Use a squirt bottle with 1 bottle of hot pepper sauce or cayenne pepper mix with 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon of dishwashing liquid. The soap helps the liquid to adhere to what you’re spraying, and should be sprayed on the entire area. Another trick is to get Irish Spring soap and grate it, then sprinkle the shavings around your plants.


Many animals are repelled by citrus scents; gather up orange, lemon, and

grapefruit peels and scatter them around your plants. Also, animals don’t like shapes that move in the night-so hang strips of rags, aluminum foil or balloons from branches or a clothes line to chase them away.


If all this fails, you can contact Orem City to get a live trap and trap the

animal, contact non-emergency dispatch (801-229-7070). Traps can be kept up to 2 weeks. To get a trap come to the front desk of the Orem Police Dept, 95 E Center Street; they will issue a trap with a refundable deposit.

The Orem Family Fitness Center is turning 2 years old this week and we've got some fun things on tap to celebrate. The new water playground will open on Thursday, March 23rd. Come check it out and celebrate 2 years of a great facility.
