Everyone who knew her and her cat, Spirit, wanted to come back in their next life as one of her cats. Janet was raised in Salt Lake City and graduated from West High.

Janet is survived by her mother, Maxine Murray DeVitt; brother, Murray (Elona); son, Dennis; daughters: Danielle (Craig) and Suzanne (Scott); and her many amazing grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her father, Theodore Hayward; and husband, James Crook.

Report: Cost of housing rising faster than wages GET A FREE ESTIMATE TODAY SHINGLE ROOFING • METAL ROOFING COLD ROOF SYSTEMS • ROOF REPAIRS WALL PANELS • FLAT ROOFING 435.615.8669 www.ontoproofing.com Sheet Metal Design Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – The cost of housing in Utah is increasing at a faster rate than wages for low-income households, a new report says. The report released this week by the National Low Income Housing Coalition indicates that people earning minimum wage would need to work 98 hours a week to be able to afford a two-bedroom apartment at fair market rent in the state, the Deseret News reported . “Housing prices continue Continued from A-4 Nonprofit absorbs SCPW See page B-7 for just a few of the cats and dogs available for adoption program operating under the auspices of Utah Clean Energy. Tourangeau said an SCPW website will be maintained and that there will still be visible branding. “We made certain in talking with Utah Clean Energy that it would retain its identity and exist as a dedicated program under Utah Clean Energy,” he said. “I hope that there will be an advisory board comprised of people that live in the community.” Tourangeau said he fully supports the move and commended the efforts of Utah Clean Energy. He added, “They have a long history of working Earn up to 1.80% APY 19-Month Rewards Certificate of Deposit Maximum of 1.80% APY Starts at 1.00% APY to rise far beyond the reach of low-income wage earners,” Utah Housing Coalition Executive Director Tara Rollins said. “Without assistance, the gap between what low-wage jobs earn and what rental housing costs here is simply unbridgeable.” Nationally, a person earning the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour would need to work 122 hours a week to afford a two-bedroom unit at fair market rate. For a one-bedroom apartment, a person would need to work 98 hours a week. Housing is considered af- fordable if a unit at fair market rent costs 30 percent or less of a person’s income, Rollins said. The fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment is $924 in Utah. A Utah household would require a monthly income of $3,079, or $36,952 a year, to afford such a unit, earning $17.77 per hour, Rollins said. The average renter in Utah makes $13.92 per hour, leaving a $3.85 wage gap, Rollins said. The report says the most expensive area for housing in Utah is Summit County, followed by Wasatch County and the Salt Lake City metro area. toward sustainable and renewable energy goals in the state.” “We all wouldn’t have done it if we didn’t think it would be a good thing for SCPW, Summit County and Park City,” he said. The integration of SCPW with Utah Clean Energy essentially dissolves the SCPW board and the position of executive director. Erin Bragg, who has held the position since Sept. 1, offered her support of the decision. “I think the relationship is a really good and a smart move because Utah Clean Energy has the staff and the resources to help bring the organization back to life the way it was viewed during the Georgetown prize,” she said. Bragg admitted that the organization sat dormant for nearly nine months after the energy competition concluded. But, she said she spent most of her time as executive director trying to bring the organization’s mission back to the forefront — something that proved to be too difficult for one person. “I wasn’t surprised,” she said. “I had heard talk of it previously so I knew it could be an option. It makes sense to move into an organization that has an established staff and procedures. It feels good to have a name that is recognizable too.” Brandy Smith, communications and development director for Utah Clean Energy, reiterated Bragg’s point. She said the partnership between the two organizations seemed like a natural transition. It allows Utah Clean Energy to have a more noticeable presence in Summit County and Park City, she said. “The main thing we want to make sure, above all, is that the success and work that has already happened continues moving past the Georgetown prize,” she said. “We want to make sure those programs are there for the long term, under the helm of Utah Clean Energy. We want to help Summit County and Park City reach their carbon goals.” EXCAVATING & GRADING CONTRACTORS Commercial & Residential 64 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE The More You Bank, the More You Earn Earn an additional .2% for each additional product or service listed Choose up to 4 - Checking Account • Savings Account • Debit Card • Direct Deposit Health Savings Account • Loan** • Individual Retirement Account • Overdraft Protection** The Grand Valley Bank Rewards Certificate of Deposit has a base Annual Percentage Yield (APY) of 1.00% for 19 months.
