She served the sport as a twotime president of the Utah Swimming Coaches Association and maintained the USCA website and list of swimmers’ top times for six seasons. She went from Judge to Cornell University as an assistant coach in a move that made the Bulldog swimmers lament losing her, but they understood the allure of an Ivy League school. As one swimmer said, “We miss our old coach, but who could blame her? I mean, Cornell?” Her relatively short tenures at the Utah schools make her impact even more impressive. A graduate of Sacramento State, Gail completed postgraduate work at the University of California in Berkeley and the University of Utah. Her own swimming career continued well beyond her college years, as she dominated the Utah Summer Games in the 1990s. She remains an avid swimmer, runner, and hiker. Gail and her husband Mark are parents of a daughter and son and Live in Huntsville where her background in urban planning led her to become chair of Ogden Valley Land Trust. Roger Buhrley - A graduate of Weber High School and Weber State University, Roger Buhrley became synonymous with high school track and field in Utah during his coaching career. As Roger Buhrley a head coach and assistant coach in track and cross EDITOR’S VIEW cont. from page 3 than any other condition, according to the World Health Organization.” What does this all mean? Bottom line, being in or surrounded by nature changes our brains for the better—and also our overall health. As humans, we evolved primarily in nature and open space. It is how we have been built and genetically programmed to thrive. A healthy earth computes to healthy humans. Williams sums it up this way, “We all need nearby nature: we benefit cognitively and psychologically from having trees, bodies of water, and green spaces just to look at; we should be smarter about landscaping our schools, hospitals, workplaces, and neighborhoods so everyone gains…. Exposure to nature can make us less aggressive, more creative, more civic minded and healthier overall.” And a healthy nature also creates a healthy earth ecosystem whereby everyone and everything benefits. country, he was involved in 12 state championships. In his 21 years at Davis High School, he built a dominant program from a modest starting point. His first state title is the most memorable, leading him to reflect in a Deseret News story, “I got a lot of satisfaction out of that one. I thought, maybe I’m not as a big a ‘loser’ coach as I thought.” The rest of the track and field world would view him as a big winner in a sport where he once was described as “a world-class track geek.” Roger was inducted into the National High School Athletic Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2011. He not only loved the sport, but also those who participated in it. “I’ve never met anyone who is so concerned about kids,” said Corbin Talley, a former assistant to Roger. “And he has no ego. He hasn’t been in it for himself.” The Salt Lake Tribune once labeled Roger “a beloved coach who built a model program at Davis.” The rewards of coaching were great for Roger, revolving around the feedback he received from former athletes. Those endorsements were missing from his history teaching career. As he said, “I don’t recall getting a letter from anyone about my lecture on the Industrial Revolution.” He thought it was a great presentation, just the same. Roger taught and coached for seven years at North Layton Junior High, two years at Clearfield High, twenty-one years at Davis, eight years at the newly built Syracuse High, and two years at Northridge High. His long list of successful athletes includes Paralympics star Hunter Woodhall. Roger is a former president of the Utah High School Track and Field Coaches Association and served for four years on the National Federation of High Schools Track and Field Rules Committee. He was the NFHS Section 7 Coach of the Year in both boys and girls track. In Utah, he was known for decades as the go-to person for the media, fellow coaches, and anyone interested in keeping up with meets, records, and other developments in the sport. In retirement, Roger lives in Huntsville. As the drumbeat to conserve water increases so more building can take place in Utah, we would be wise to consider the tradeoff of tearing out greenery—grass, shrubs, and trees in favor of more rooftops, concrete, and asphalt. In considering the horrendous push for infill housing, we should be wise enough to consider how this is being done. Is an equitable amount of green and open space being added and permanently conserved to compensate as the last remaining green or open spaces found within Ogden City, and other urban centers along the Wasatch Front and Back, are being paved? As development continues to boom across the state, city, and county, government leaders would do well to adopt programs and zoning laws that require large developers and infill housing corporations to permanently set aside prime open space and sensitive lands by conservation easements to offset the proliferation of rooftops and pavement in order to protect the health of Utah’s communities and those who live in and around them. |
