Kindness is a soft skill. Since kindness can be hard to teach, measure or master, many people dismiss it as a nonessential nicety that won’t make or break your business. They value other capitalist-oriented skills more, such as ambition, grit and skill.

It seems clear that you’ve made kindness your life’s work. What is the story behind that?
My father called me in April 2006 after his terminal lung cancer diagnosis. He was a family therapist, and he had just turned 70. I was 38, with two young school-aged children. We had a difficult relationship, but I flew to Burlington, Vermont, and we started working to heal our relationship. He lived eight months after that call. Those months and the healing process were a gift. We both found peace; he died Dec. 1, 2006, on my son’s sixth birthday.

US 89 is a north-south highway that extends through the state’s center. Measuring 502 miles in length, it is Utah’s longest road. Traffic models showed the need for making changes. The area used to be mainly rural and agricultural, but the land is now used for suburban and commercial development. Planners expect traffic to increase 43% by 2040. Instead of 37,700 vehicles per day, they expect 54,000 vehicles per day. Higher volume means congestion, delays and an increased number of crashes involving cars and wildlife. Instead of relying on traffic signals at intersections, the new design separates US 89 from cross traffic by routing it underneath the cross streets.

UAPA’s 11th Annual Golf Classic was held on August 17th at the Mountain Dell Golf Course.

We hope to see you at our next event. To learn more, please visit utahasphalt.org/uapa-events.
