FARMINGTON—The Davis League of Women Voters is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to protecting voting rights. The group will be hosting an online “Meet the Candidates” forum Oct. 4 – 11.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

A s the November election nears, voters have a lot of choices to make. Who is the best candidate? What will the initiatives do depending on whether they vote “yes” or “no.” The Davis County League of Women Voters’ (LWV) mission is to try and educate the public on how they can make wise decisions about the issues on the ballot.

“The U.S. League of

Women Voters is a nonpartisan, grassroots organization dedicated to protecting voting rights and ensuring that everyone is represented in our democracy,” said Davis LWV board member Susan Erhart. “The national league grew out of the women’s suffrage movement and was established in 1920.”

Erhart, who grew up in Davis County and recently moved back, said she got in -

Incriminating note left by man accused of second assassination attempt

Ryan Routh, the man accused of a second apparent assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump, left several notes about his intention to kill Trump. One note, discovered by an anonymous individual, offered a cash reward for anyone willing to try to assassinate the former president should he, Routh, fail. Routh is currently in custody and is charged with illegal possession of a firearm, and with possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number. As more evidence comes forward, experts expect that Routh may well be charged with more offenses as time progresses, including charges linked more directly with the apparent assassination attempt.

Drop in violent crime

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) recently released statistics for 2023 which show that violent crime decreased last year by about 3%. The statistics also show a significant drop in murder and manslaughter rates from 2022-23, as well as a drop in rape, and hate crimes. There was a significant rise in nonviolent crime, however, according to the report, including vehicle theft, according to CNN. The data was collected from nearly 17,000 law enforcement agencies from around the country. This is a positive reading into what has become a largely problematic aspect of the country.

Military public art initiative rolled out with Clearfield City rebrand

CLEARFIELD—Artists have created nine jet statues to be installed around Clearfield as part of its rebrand as “Utah’s Military City.” The F-16, F-35 and A-10 jets have all been stationed at Hill Air Force Base.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

Clearfield City was established in 1922. Its military roots run deep as home to the West Gate of Hill Air Force Base and as a U.S. Naval Supply Depot during WII. The depot is now the Freeport Center. Clearfield is embracing that history and has rebranded itself as “Utah’s Military City.” As part of the initiative, nine jet statues will be installed around the city.

“We’ve worked hard to revitalize the downtown area,” said City Communication Manager, Shaundra Rushton. “We wanted to bring new life to it with military public art and the rebrand and roll them out together.”

Rushton said they knew they wanted it to be jets that have all been stationed at Hill. “There are nine jets.There are three different types, F-16, F-35 and A-10. The statues are being painted by Utah artists and sponsored by local organizations.”

Ogden has done a lot of work on their downtown too, she said. “They have fiberglass horses. It’s the same sculptor that is doing ours. He’s only done animals. He’s never done jets before so it's been fun to work with him on the jets.”

Brandon Naegle is one of the artists working on the statues. “I work at Hill Air Force Base as a civilian,” he said. “I enjoy working around the military so these planes are a perfect fit. I volunteer at the Hill Aerospace Museum on the restoration team for

volved because it became increasingly clear how important it was for every voter to understand what they were voting on. “We want to make an effort for as many people as possible to be aware of the issues we face. They may not be aware of what a candidate stands for or the influence they have on others and fully appreciate what each vote means.”

Voters should have a good grasp of the issues, she said. “Why do leaders vote a certain way? As they investigate that aspect it may

The design has been a collaboration with the company that is sponsoring the planes, he said. “We met and worked on what their brand is and how to represent that and put their logos on it.”

Naegle makes rough sketches and then digitally presents them with mockup ideas. “They decide what they like or don’t like and what changes they want made.”

The sponsor designs he is working on are Bravada Apartments, MIDA (Military Installation Development Authority) and 47G. “I did a lot of masking and stencil work on the Bravada plane,” he said. “It has the same colors as their branding. The facility is very modern with geometric shapes that come into play. It represents the modernization

The league recently held a panel discussion on two amendments that could impact education. It was meant to give the public a chance to ask questions and get answers to better understand what they mean so that they can make an informed decision when they vote.

Erhart said one of the league's most popular activities is the “Meet the Candidates” forums. “Candi -

MIDA is a purple plane, Naegle said. “They’re developing a lot of land near Falcon Hill. They’ve also developed things near Park City. They wanted the design to have mountains, a sunset and skiers to represent what they do with Utah scenery. It’s 90% freehand airbrush.”

Naegle has painted the 47G black with a portrait of Sen. Jake Garn on the wing. “They do aerospace and high tech software,” he said. “They’re a cutting edge company and wanted Jake Garn on it as a naval pilot. It also shows the space shuttle launch as a tribute to history and the progression toward bigger and better things.”

WSU and Woodbury met as a committee and went through several rounds of design meetings. It was tough but they finally decided on something.”

The realtors’ plane is covered in bright colors, WSU wanted a fighter jet and something that when someone looks at it they know it’s WSU, she said. “It's a purple camo with cougar scratches. It will be pretty awesome.”

They’ve all been so good to work with, Facer said. “It’s been fun. I estimate by the end I will have spent 40 to 50 hours on each one.”

“There has been 1 million square feet or 40 football fields of new businesses, public park spaces and housing as part of this revitalization project,” said Rushton. “We’re now seeing this come to life.

Fire at power substation knocks out power to more than 8,000 homes

More than 8,000 Rocky Mountain Power customers were without power Monday morning after a fire at a power substation in Centerville. Centerville Police said early reports were of an explosion and associated fire at the power substation on the west side of the city. Thick black smoke and fires from local refineries could be seen across the area. According to South Davis Metro, the outage caused “normal flare-off” operations at the refineries.

Man arrested for robbery a month after the crime

A 23-year-old man was arrested Tuesday for an alleged robbery at the Fast Stop gas station in Woods Cross that took place last month.

Dakota Russell Hess was arrested after his girlfriend, who was a cashier at the store, told police Hess had told her he was planning to rob the store.

“Dakota took money from the cashier and fled,” an affidavit filed after the robbery said. “Video surveillance shows a partial tattoo on Dakota’s right hand that matches Dakota’s right hand tattoo.”

Police respond to individual with knife in Bountiful Park

Bountiful Junior High was briefly placed on lockdown then transitioned to a “secure protocol procedure” after an individual in the Bountiful City Park with a knife was threatening individuals in the park. The Bountiful Police department responded and said the individual is known to officers and has mental health issues. The individual was taken into custody without incident and transported to a local hospital for evaluation.

Bountiful Junior High Principal Hadyn B. Call sent the following email out to parents:

Dear BJH Community,

I'm reaching out to let you know our school was placed into lockdown for one minute this afternoon at 2:40 p.m. after a Bountiful Police dispatcher contacted us to do so.

After that initial call, the

dispatcher called back, saying a miscommunication had occurred and that the school should follow "secure protocol procedures."

What we learned was that police were in a nearby neighborhood responding to a disturbance.

Those secure protocols were lifted at 2:56 p.m.

When a school follows secure protocols, its outside doors are locked and classes resume as normal inside the building.

We appreciate our relationship with Bountiful Police in helping keep our school and community safe.

Hydraulic fluid spill, grass fire keep fire crews busy

T85 was called to a fuel spill last week after approximately 30 gallons of hydraulic fluid was spilled across northbound Legacy Highway. South Davis Metro Fire HazMat support, along with a sand truck and Envirocare, also aided in the cleanup. At the same time, a grass fire started about two miles away in between north and southbound Legacy. Several units from SDMF, with the aid of Farmington Fire, held the fire to less than a half an acre. Cause is undetermined, a SDMF social media post said.

Gas leak shuts down part of 500 South in Bountiful

Office workers along 500 South between 400 East to 800 East in Bountiful were evacuated last week after Bountiful water department workers inadvertently hit a gas line while trying to repair a water leak. According to Enbridge Gas Company, the damaged line was a large 4-inch feeder line.

Duck season opens; healthy birds plentiful

Open season on ducks begins Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 5.55 a.m. If sooner, it is to the detriment of the sportsman in more ways than one. One shot fired before daylight will do more to drive the birds off the marsh than will a hundred shots after it is light enough to see to do effective shooting, and then, there is the law to contend with. The real sportsman will make six o’clock the time and twenty-five birds the limit.

Further steps taken in power plant question

In spite of the fact that the Bountiful power plant question will more than likely be decided by a vote of the people, the city council last Wednesday night passed an ordinance authorizing the mayor to issue city bonds for $156,000 to finance Mr. Todd’s diesel engine plan, Messrs Burningham, Burns and Graham voted for the ordinance and Messrs Hampton and Taylor voted against it.

General urges Hill Field workers to stay on the job

“No action could be more damaging to our national efforts than for employees of Hill Field, Ogden Air Service Command, to leave their work at this critical stage of the war,” Major Gen. Clements McMullin, Dayton, O., Air Service Command Official, declared in a statement issued, Wednesday.

Gen. McMullin, referring to an asserted feeling among employees of the command that the installation soon will cease to play a vital role in the war effort, said that “Ogden will be one of our key installations in the fight to finish.”

Weber Basin officials outline problems facing South Davis in project work

The purpose of this letter is to acquaint the water users living in the South Davis County Water Improvement District with some of the aspects and problems that will have to be solved by the district before the water from the Weber Basin Conservancy District can be obtained for use by the South Davis County Water Improvement District.

The South Davis County Water Improvement District comprises an area of a little over 1,000 acres and has a population of approximately 1,000 families and a potential population of about 4,000 families. Its present water supply from all sources is about onethird as much as its total needs.

Davis mental health program accelerates

It’s been almost a year since a temporary Mental Health Surveying Committee, including members from every part of Davis County and representing many professions and fields of interest, submitted its report to the Davis Coun-

ty Board of Health.

This 76-page report detailed the needs of Davis County in the mental health field – based on surveys conducted by five subcommittees. Through these committees, the group had surveyed the county’s mental health needs, problems and existing resources.

Once again Monday night Centerville City Council Meeting covered a multitude of matters of business in a record time. Councilman Dean Layton presided as Mayor Pro tem in the absence of Mayor Stan Green, who had been called out of town on business in Manti.

Councilman Tom Williams asked about the picking up of junk cars in the city and was informed that the Beautification Committee, under the direction of Mrs. Gloria Wray, has been doing a great job in trying to assist in the matter. The Scouts have been assisting also.

Davis emergency radio pondered

BOUNTIFUL—Proposals

to unite Davis County into one emergency radio communications system were discussed Thursday at a meeting of local chiefs of police, fire chiefs and city and county officials.

Commissioner Harry Gerlach summarized the meeting by saying, “All cities must cooperate because Davis County cannot do it. It’s a long road but by working together, you can do it.”

He suggested that financing would be a major hurdle to overcome but that there are three options for doing this: (1) by interlocal agreement; (2) by forming a special services district; or (3) increasing the county mill levy.

Davis School District named Energy Champion

FARMINGTON—The district was named the 2024 Utah AEE Energy Champion for Education Organizations for its strong financial case for energy improvements and commitment to net-zero energy new construction. Zero energy is producing as much energy as what’s being used.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

The Davis School District is leading the way in energy efficiency in K-12 and higher education institutions in the state. The district was named the 2024 Utah AEE Energy Champion for Education Organizations for its decade-long leadership in innovative energy management. The award was presented at the Association of Energy Engineers (AEE) Fall Symposium held last week.

Doug Anderson, Director of Utility Services for the Davis School District was a featured presenter at the symposium.

“The association contacted me and wanted me to present on zero energy,” he said. “I talked about Odyssey Elementary that was completed in 2014, 10 years ago, and how that building is performing today. There have been six zero energy buildings built since then.”

Those are producing as much energy as what’s being used, said Anderson. “There are solar panels on the roof. We still have a power bill but it’s considerably less in these buildings.”

It costs a little more to build these buildings but they’re going to be here for 50 years, he said. “We get that payback and they’re a lot more economical to operate.”

The Department of Energy does a study of schools on usage of zero energy, Anderson said. “Canyon Creek, Kay’s Creek and Odyssey elementaries have gone through the study. Island View is brand new and will be zero energy. The Bountiful Elementary rebuild and Sunset Junior High will be zero energy and two schools that are under construction, Junior High #18 and Elementary #2 will also be zero energy.”

Everything that is done inside the building will be as efficient as possible, he said. “We’re putting in LED lighting and PV panels (photovoltaic panels are used to produce electricity directly from sunlight).”

Some of the boilers are being replaced as the budget allows in the older schools, said Anderson. “We’re also replacing chillers with higher efficiency pieces of equipment.”

The new buildings have smarter control systems, he said. “It turns on everything. We have a system that writes its own program so that everything is coming on at the right time.

There is also a reporting system. It sends me an email that says ‘hey I’m broken.’ That way we can get out there before the school is too hot or too cold.”

Society is changing its thinking about not creating extra CO2 and pollution, said Anderson. “In our district in 2005 we produced 64 tons of CO2. Last year we had a 14,000 ton reduction and we’ve grown by 30%.”

The energy cost and consump-

tion has gone down, he said. “It costs $20,000 a year to operate a new school. Before it was $60,000 –$80,000 to operate.”

The district will own these buildings for 40 – 50 years, Anderson said. “It makes good sense to spend a bit more money upfront to have a more efficient building over its life span.” l

Freedom’s Light Festival brings Constitution to life

BOUNTIFUL—More than 100 volunteers and 40 portrayers brought a touch of history to Bountiful City Park. The festival is held in conjunction with Constitution Day.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin and Betsy Ross all showed up at the Bountiful City Park last week. The historical figures weren’t there to sign the Declaration of Independence or sew a flag, they were there to teach the new generation about the Constitution. It was all part of the Freedom’s Light Festival held every year in conjunction with Constitution Day.

“It’s designed to make history come to life,” said Dalane England, founder and chair. “It helps to under-

stand our founding mothers and fathers and the genius of the Constitution in an engaging way. As a teacher I wanted my students to get involved with the Constitution.”

Everyone knows when Independence Day is, she said. “Not even adults know when the Constitution was signed. Most don’t know much about it. In Congress only 85% have ever read it. How do you uphold it if you don’t know anything about it?”

The Constitution is amazing, England said. “It’s genius. The more you learn the more incredible it is.”

It took 150 volunteers and 40 portrayers, including some youth, to make the festival a success, she said. “The young people have attended the festival in the past and came back to be involved. We rotate the portrayers, there’s always new people.”

Thomas Wangeman is from Twin Falls, ID and came down to portray

THOMAS WANGEMAN as John Dickinson talks to children about his part in history. Wangeman came down from Twin Falls, ID to participate in the festival.

John Dickinson. “He was a fascinating man,” said Wangeman. “He was known as the ‘Penman of the Revolution.’ He wrote most of the document.”

Wangeman said what draws him to the event is to bring the Constitution to this time. “I want kids to have this written on their heart, not just on paper. I want them to understand the principles of the founding of the Constitution so that they can be active participating citizens.”

Todd Tingey, whose Cherokee name is Running Bear, stood by a Teepee with other Native American artifacts to teach visitors about how his people played a role in the Constitution. “It all ties together with the true story of democracy with Benjamin Franklin and the 13 colonies and the Indian government.”

Cloe Hewett brought fifth grade classes from Columbia Elementary. “We’ve been studying American His-

tory and the Constitution,” she said. “They’ve been excited to see what life was like then. So far they’re loving it.”

“We heard about the festival and thought it would be fun,” said one mom who was there with her kids. “Hopefully they’ll learn something new.”

“I like Patrick Henry,” said her sixth grade son. “I like what he said, ‘Give me liberty or give me death.’”

“I liked Andrew Oliver,” said 10-year-old Robert Morris. “It was a cool story. It’s funny, like nobody ever heard of him. He was super rich and donated guns and uniforms.”

“George Washington was my favorite,” said 10-year-old Walker. “It was fun to listen to him and learn about him.”

This is the 16th year of the festival, said England. “There were 15 school groups scheduled for Thursday and 12 for Friday. Most people who come just want to learn.” l

EMPOWERING OUR HEROES

The Daniel Wood cemetery

BOUNTIFUL—Davis County is full of history, carefully and thoughtfully preserved, but the tiny cemetery on 500 West is something special.

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com

Driving along 500 West in Bountiful, there’s an interesting sight that may go unnoticed by many. Surrounded by fast food joints, strip malls, parking lots and businesses, is a small plot of green grass, bordered by a rod iron fence. Inside this enclosure are several weather-worn gravestones, marking the final resting place of some of the earliest settlers of Davis County. This is the Daniel Wood Cemetery.

Daniel Wood is the namesake for Woods Cross and was born in Duchess Co., New York in the year 1800. He and his family moved to what would later be Ontario, Canada when Daniel was only three years old, and it was there that the future settler would grow up. It was also there that Wood met, and married Mary Snyder, in or around 1822. The couple would have been married 11 years when they were baptized members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Daniel Wood was baptized by future President of the Church and governor of Utah, Brigham Young.

Wood was a faithful member of this church, and in 1835 had been appointed to church leadership as a member of the Second Quorum of the Seventy. Wood and his family would follow the membership of the church as headquarters moved from Kirtland Ohio, to Missouri, to Illinois, and then, finally, the Salt Lake Valley in 1848. On that journey, Wood was entrusted as a company captain, in charge of 50 different wagons, arriving in the Salt Lake Valley in September of that year.

When he was 50, Wood built a two-story adobe house, and not long after, the first public hall in what would become Davis County. This building played host to church meetings, choir practices, school, public assembly and more for years. When the railroad crossed through Davis County, it passed right through

Wood’s homestead, and earned the region the title “Woods Crossing,” later, Woods Cross.

The cemetery sits on its original plot, dedicated by Daniel Wood in 1858, and is the resting place for much of the Wood family. One of the important lessons it can still teach today is of the advances of modern medicine, and infant care. The first graves, for example, are that of two of Wood’s grandchildren who passed shortly after birth. They were buried on that very plot underneath an apple tree which has since been removed.

The Daniel Wood cemetery also shows an important dedication on the part of the county, and cities to pre -

serve this history. Shops and restaurants have sprouted up around it, but a solemn, quiet spot remains, dedicated to the memory of an intrepid pioneer and his family. The cemetery could have been moved – it’s been done before, and very respectfully, but this way, the memory of this family is not tucked away on some obscure private plot, but out in the open on a main thoroughfare, in a place where thousands of people will see it regularly.

For many, it may simply be a curiosity, but now, hopefully, a few more people will know the family that resides there and the hard work they did to build this community. l

THE RESTING PLACES for Daniel Wood and his family in the original place that was started first back in 1857-1858.

OPINION Afflictions

In this world, at some point, many people are mistreated, or traumatized, or lost, or treated unfairly. Very few people seem to escape these trials and challenges that can be lifealtering, painful experiences that tend to be unfair and overwhelming. Sometimes children see their parents fighting battles with what is really medical or psychological or psychiatric problems. And unfortunately, the children tend to follow similar patterns. No one escapes these trials. No one.

Ironically, our afflictions apparently have a beneficial component, in that they can teach lessons that can be taught in no other way. With this in mind, maybe we should ask, not why is this affliction happening, but what are we supposed to learn from these experiences.

And it seems that since everyone experiences these painful or difficult experiences, these challenges seem to be tests that ultimately leave behind insights and awarenesses. These challenges can be useful in numerous ways throughout our lives. First and foremost, as we experience these painful and unfair experiences throughout life, we eventually learn that a season of pain does not destroy us.

Fortunately, success is a series of small and simple things that are within our reach. In this process, anxiety and fear can be faced and defeated. We can decide to fight through these enemies of peace, and develop healthy responses.

An interesting concept is that we are not competing with anyone else, but we are becoming what we have been prepared to achieve. We all have

specific traits and abilities that enable us to make a unique impact in life. This concept helps us to cope, so reach out. Be kind and be hopeful. Don’t settle. The best is yet to come.

‘The Wild Robot’ incredible, but ‘Fly’ lacks depth

By Jenniffer Wardell

The Movie Critic

The Wild Robot (in theaters)

Love can change everything.

That’s just one of the many profound messages woven through “The Wild Robot,” the beautiful, delightful new movie from Dreamworld. Based on the beloved book, the movie combines gorgeous visuals with the touching, funny, and profoundly emotional story of a robot in over its head. You’ll laugh at the silliness of the opening scenes, but by the end you might just find yourself as profoundly changed as the characters.

The movie starts with a consumer robot (think Alexa with actual intelligence and a robot body) who crashes onto a human-free island instead of getting delivered to whoever bought it. After scaring a bunch of animals with its preprogrammed greetings and attempts to find a task, it learns how to decode animal languages. A tragic accident also gives the robot its first task, raising an orphaned gosling and teaching it everything it needs to know to migrate the following fall.

This is a movie that touches on everything from growing up to parenthood to the power of community, but it all springs organically from the story rather than getting in its way. It’s deep and rich enough to resonate with all kinds of different people, which means there’s no telling when you’ll get choked up. And it’s all pure emotion, not sentimentality, so it’ll sneak up on you no matter how

hard you try and fight it.

It’s also beautiful to look at. The movie does a wonderful job of combining realistic and artistic styles, giving us exquisitely detailed animation that feels perfectly suited for both nature and a story about nature. No matter what’s happening, it’s immersive in the best way.

It’s a world I’d be happy to return to, over and over again. Hopefully, we’ll get that chance.

Grade: Four stars Fly (Disney+ and Hulu)

“Fly” has some gorgeous aerial shots, but it never soars the way it wants to.

The National Geographic docu-

mentary, which follows base jumpers through several years of their lives, is full of all the beautiful scenery you could hope for. What it’s missing, however, is the kind of depth that made similar documentaries like “Free Solo” so popular. It’s pretty to look at, but you leave the movie not understanding base jumping any better than you did when you started. Frustratingly, the potential is there. The jumpers spend the entire movie dealing with questions of life and death, but the documentary rarely lets us see them wrestle with them. You get hints of the questions the filmmakers should have asked, leaving it impossible not to feel the

empty spaces where the answers should have gone. The occasional brain-rattling comment goes completely unexplored, left echoing only in your memory.

So what we’re left to focus on is the visuals. The jump shots are truly stunning, incredible even on the small screen, and the helmet cam shots give you some of the sense of rush. On the other side, the shots that depict jumps that don’t go well can be chilling.

They linger in your memory in a way the rest of the documentary can’t quite manage.

CenterPoint takes you ‘Into the Woods’ OUT AND ABOUT

CENTERVILLE—Enjoy fairy tales with a twist as well-loved characters weave a magical story of wishes that may just come true but maybe not in the way they’d dreamed of.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

Take an unusual journey with beloved fairy tale characters as they go into the woods seeking their heart’s desire in CenterPoint Legacy Theatre’s production of the Broadway musical “Into the Woods.” Follow Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel as they cross paths and realize what they wished for might not be what they wanted.

The story begins with a boy who has run away from home and finds himself in the woods. A mysterious stranger gives the boy a book and through it the characters and their stories come to life.

The first story is of a baker and his wife who are longing for a child. A witch has cast a spell on their home because the baker’s father took vegetables from her garden many years ago. She tells them that if they will bring her certain items she will lift the spell and they will have a child.

One of her requests is a white cow. As they go in search of it they run into Jack who walks by with his white cow. He loves it but his mother has sent him out to sell the cow for the money they need. The baker and his wife try to outwit Jack in order to get his cow by trading it for some magic beans.

Other items the witch requires are

LAYTON—The popular Small Stage Series concerts are returning to Davis starting in October, with a lineup that is bound to have at least a little something for everyone.

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com

One of the most popular NPR offerings, the Tiny Desk Concert series has showcased talent from world-famous musicians to the upand-coming. It was this very series which, in 2021, inspired the creation of the Small Stage Series by the Davis Arts Council, and the growing popularity of the returning series goes to show the similar format is a hit.

“The series started inside our office building, where we built a 50-seat venue,” said Kim Ridl, director of communications for the Davis Arts Council. “We quickly outgrew that space in less than a year, and with us moving to a new office, we shifted the series to Abbington Senior Living last fall.” The Abbington, at 350 South 100 West in Layton, which sponsors the concert series, has turned out to be

a lock of golden hair, a golden slipper and a red cloak. As the stories of Cinderella, Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood unfold, the baker and his wife are making a plan to get what they need. Their craftiness plays havoc with the fairy tales, changing the outcome of “happily ever after,” but all is not what it seems.

The set is amazing with large trees draped in green and mist rolling across the stage. Drop down scenery for each fairy tale is fun and inventive. A booming voiced giant casts a shadow that looms large over the audience, spilling onto the stage frightening the characters below.

Delightful music and a great cast brings everything together in this mysterious tale. Claire Glaittli (MWF) as the baker’s wife is wonderful as she schemes and manipulates her husband and the other characters into doing what she wants. Jake Heywood (MWF) plays her husband and gets sucked in by her wily ways.

Emily Sparks (MWF) makes the perfect Little Red Riding Hood with an innocent charm yet feisty nature that serves her well when it comes to the wolf (Dan Frederickson, MWF who also plays Rapunzel’s Prince) and the baker who is trying to talk her out of her red cape. Jack (Drew Dunshee, MWF) the wide-eyed dreamer is unaware of everyone else’s devious intentions and just wants his cow back.

Cinderella’s Prince (Josh Egbert, MWF) and Rapunzel’s Prince (Frederickson) commensurate over the women they thought were a dream come true only to find out that maybe they aren’t what they’d hoped for.

The musical is filled with wellloved fairy tale characters but with an

unexpected twist that will have you wanting to go “Into the Woods.” Into the Woods runs through Oct. 19, Monday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with Saturday matinees at 3:30 p.m.

Tickets are $21.50-$39.50 and can

the perfect venue in fact.

The Small Stage Series has been a great venue to showcase local artists in a way that both highlights their talent, as well as making quality musical entertainment available to the community for a price tag everyone can afford – free. While there may be no cover charge, the experiences to be had there, are priceless.

Acoustic performances allow for a much more up close and personal show, and one which allows for each performer to “connect with the audience and share stories about the music,” said Ridl. “The audience gets a

Larklean offers cleaning products that get the job done without harmful chemicals

KAYSVILLE—Kaysville company Larklean was named Small Business of the Year by the Davis Chamber of Commerce. Their products are made of natural, non toxic ingredients.

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

Ryan and Maddie Larkin are keeping things clean. The couple own Larklean, LLC a cleaning product manufacturing company that focuses on all natural, non toxic ingredients that get the job done without hazardous chemicals. Larklean was named Small Business of the Year at last week’s Davis Chamber of Commerce Business Awards Banquet.

“It’s medical grade but zero health hazard,” said Ryan Larkin. “It kills everything, COVID, flu, hepatitis, etc.”

Everybody disinfects around the house, he said. “It’s not like Tide or Gain that have a lot of heavy perfumes. The cleaning is just as effective as the big brands without the chemicals. People are paying the same for a 25 use bag as our 96 use bag.”

“We use essential oils so it still smells good without the allergy problems,” said Maddie.

“Our Effervescent Kleaner can be used for scrubbing like Ajax or Comet,” said Ryan. “You dump it into the toilet and it foams up and brings natural chemicals up on the edges. It does the cleaning for you.”

The kids beg to clean toilets, he said. “I had someone come up to me at the banquet and she said her husband had never cleaned a toilet. Now he wants to because it is so cool.”

Ryan’s father owned a chemical processing plant in the 90s and he worked for him. “I learned how to mix chemicals and I have a minor in

chemistry.”

They blend everything at Larklean, he said. “We also package and ship it personally. We have quality standards in place. We do it ourselves because we don’t want someone else to mess it up. Everything is 100% from our own facility (in Kaysville).”

That also makes them nimble, said Ryan. “We can change things daily so that it doesn’t get back ordered. The last thing we want to do is take seven to 10 days. Then they go out and buy what’s on the shelf.”

Larklean doesn’t outsource either, he said. “All of our products are made in the U.S. We could get things cheaper but we’re U.S. based.”

Their products are currently in four stores including Bowman’s in Kaysville. “We want to branch out to

other retailers,” said Ryan. “We’re in negotiations with a major player in the western states. Our target is to get into every grocery store in the U.S. We want to push better distribution. We can keep up really quickly.”

“We work seven days a week all day,” said Maddie. “We worked for the award. We put our heart and soul into the company to make it a legacy for our kids and family.”

The goal is to educate people, she said. “They don’t have to risk their health with chemicals to get the job done. There are safer, better alternatives. We need to be cautious about what we use around us.”

Davis, Bountiful leading girls soccer regions as stretch run arrives

In Region 1 girls soccer, Davis is tied for the top spot. Bountiful leads the way in Region 5 with just a few games left to play.

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Fall is officially here, and girls soccer is inching closer to the postseason.

A few local Davis Country teams appear primed for a deep playoff run. In Region 1, Davis shares the top spot with Syracuse. Meanwhile, in Region 5, 9-2 Bountiful has a two-game lead on Northridge.

Davis

With an overall record of 11-3, Davis currently sits at No. 4 in the Class 6A RPI rankings. If Davis can maintain or improve this ranking, it should get a first-round playoff bye and host a second-round game.

Last week, the Darts edged Weber 2-1 at home in a tough Sept. 19 contest. The Darts scored in both halves, with Reial Phongsavath and Simone Packer getting goals. Packer also assisted on Phongsavath’s goal, while Kate Willard also recorded an assist. This home game was a lot more challenging than Davis’ last meeting with Weber, a 4-0 shutout on the road on Aug. 29.

The Darts won again on Sept. 24, but this one was never in doubt: an 8-0

blasting of Fremont.

Playing at home, Davis racked up five goals in the first half to put the game away early. Davis added three more scores in the second half and preserved the shutout with a strong defense. Willard and Packer each scored twice in the one-sided victory. Brooklyn Phongsavath, Cadence Packer, Vivian Fries and T’Maea Eteuati each had goals. Brooklyn Phongsavath and Reial Phongsavath each had assists, as did Samantha Maudsley and Marli Francis.

The Darts play at Syracuse on Thursday and then host Layton on Oct. 1. The final regular-season game is Oct. 3 at home against Farmington.

Bountiful

Region 5’s Bountiful has firm control of first place. Up by two full games with only three to play, the Redhawks will win the crown barring an unexpected collapse. The Redhawks are currently fourth in the RPI rankings.

On Sept. 19, Bountiful took care of second-place Northridge with a key 3-2 win at home. The Redhawks used a 2-1 first half to build momentum. Belle Sorensen, Myka Page and Millie McPheters scored for the Redhawks. Emmy Sorenson, Page and Sorensen had assists.

On Tuesday, the Redhawks maintained their region lead by crushing

WXHS boys golf keeps rolling in competitive Region 5

The Woods Cross boys golf team won two more Region 5 tournaments – at Sun Hills and Schneiters Bluff – for its fourth consecutive first place showing. Sam Bennett received medalist honors at Sun Hills with his four-underpar round of 67 while four Wildcat golfers were top 12 at the Bluff.

Woods Cross

Woods Cross won its third straight Region 5 tournament, this time at Sun Hills Sept. 16 with a team score of 285. The Wildcats were led by Sam Bennett’s four-under-par 67 which earned him medalist honors.

Brooks Bybee shot a 72 to take eighth with Lance Henriksen, Jackson Bodily and Josh Allen recording 73s, tying for ninth, and Clayton Schmitt’s 74, Dylan Markisich’s 75 and Pierce Poulsen rounded out the scores.

At Schneiters Bluff Sept. 17, play was interrupted due to weather but the teams “waited it out and were able to

finish,” according to head coach David Simon. Bodily led the team with a 73, placing fifth, while Bybee and Schmitt tied for sixth with a 74 and Markisich tied for ninth with a 75. Other scores for

Woods Cross were Bennett, Henriksen and Josh Allen (76) and Landon Day (80).

“Considering the conditions, I thought we played really well,” Simon

said. “We had sun, rain, wind and hail but somehow figured out how to post a pretty good score. We were really proud of the boys for being able to go back out to the course after the weather delay and finish the way they finished.”

The Wildcats are currently first in the Region 5 standings with Markisich first individually and Schmitt 10th.

Bountiful

Bountiful placed second at Sun Hills with a team score of 291, six strokes back of Woods Cross. Ty Cottle tied for third place after a round of 69 while Jett Danowski and Jack Jordan had 73s which tied for ninth.

Other scores for the Redhawks were Cody Forbes and Luke Smith (76), Joe Stobbe (79), Cannon Scoville (89) and Jacob Packer (95).

At Schneiters Bluff, Luke Smith tied for medalist honors with Box Elder’s Kimball Shepherd and Northridge’s Caleb Hennefer after shooting a 71. Also competing for the Redhawks were Forbes 77, Danowski 78, Jordan and Cottle 79, Stobbe and Lincoln Smith 84 and Taylor Nardelli 89.

Davis wins Region 1 opener in football; Bountiful, Woods Cross battling in Region 5

The Davis football team won its Region 5 opener, while Bountiful and Woods Cross are just a game back of the lead in Region 5.

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Region 1 prep football teams finally started the league portion of their schedules. From here on out, local teams in Region 1 will battle against league foes for playoff positioning.

Davis won its first region game, while Farmington came up short. Region 5 has Bountiful and Woods Cross at 2-1, a game behind league-leading Roy. Viewmont is 1-2.

Davis

After four weeks of crushing blowouts, Davis finally had a down-to-the-wire game.

The Darts, now 5-1 overall, outlasted Region 1 rival Weber 39-37 in a road clash last Friday. The Darts scored 29 of their points in the first half, including 19 in a busy second quarter.

Davis led 10-7 after one quarter, thanks to a 13-yard run from Tyson Baggett and a 31-yard field goal from Finn Garff. Tradon Bessinger, who leads the state in touchdown passes, tossed three in the second quarter alone, hitting Baggett from 13 yards out, Easton Frasure on a 3-yard score and Frasure again, this time on a 9-yard TD pass. Davis led 2924 at the break.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, setting up an exciting finish. Owen Talbot’s 1-yard TD plunge and an extra point from Garff made it 36-24. After a Weber touchdown and extra point closed the gap to 36-31, Garff drilled a long 5-yard field goal to extend the advantage to 39-31 with 6:18 to play. Weber countered with a touchdown in the final minute, but the Davis defense held on the two-point try to preserve the 39-37 win.

Bessinger completed 20 of 34 passes for 298 yards and three scores. He connected with Baggett seven times for a game-high 132 yards. Talbot had 64 yards on the ground. The Darts withstood a fantastic game from Weber’s Dyson Parker, who scampered for 253 yards on 37 carries. But Davis’ Cooper Harsin tallied 18 tackles, while Bode Sparrow had 12 tackles and an interception on the day.

Davis plays at Fremont on Friday.

Farmington

The Phoenix dropped to 1-5 overall and 0-1 in league play with a tough 38-37 overtime loss at Syracuse. The heartbreaking defeat was the third onescore loss this season for the Phoenix.

Farmington got 110 yards on 16 carries from Travis Hoopes. The senior running back had a

Roy 7-0 on the road. Bountiful did most of its damage in the second half after a close 1-0 first half.

It only took two players to amass the seven goals.

Page scored four times on the day, while Sorensen had three goals. The duo had plenty of help, though. Sorenson had two assists, and Sophie Winzeler and McPheters each had one. Sorensen assisted on one of Page’s four scores. Goalie Eliza Naegle kept Roy out of the net to earn the shutout.

Page and Sorensen have been a potent duo.

Through Sept. 25, Page had scored 19 goals and dished out four assists. Sorensen had 16 goals up to this point and led the team with nine assists.

Bountiful hosts Viewmont on Thursday and then plays at Clearfield on Oct. 1. The Redhawks wrap up the regular season Oct. 3 at home against Box Elder.

3-yard touchdown run in the second quarter and a 4-yard touchdown run in overtime. Unfortunately for Farmington, his overtime TD preceded a missed two-point conversion and a chance to win the game.

Will Peterson had 160 yards passing on 14 completions, while backup quarterback Joshua Webb was 5 of 6 for 67 yards and a 15-yard touchdown pass to Afu Fiefia. Cooper Lopez had a team high 83 yards receiving, and Hoopes led the way with six catches. Jett Salmon topped the defense with seven tackles and a sack.

Farmington hosts Layton on Friday for a chance to pick up its first Region 1 victory.

Bountiful

The Redhawks won their second region game in a row to improve to 2-1 in league play Last Friday, Bountiful used a big second quarter to run past Northridge 42-14.

Up 7-0 after one quarter, the Redhawks had two touchdown runs and two touchdown passes in the second to build a commanding 35-0 halftime advantage. In the productive quarter, Caleb Norris scored on a 4-yard run and Siaki Fekitoa had a 1-yard touchdown run. Meanwhile quarterback Emerson

Viewmont

The Vikings aren’t too far behind Bountiful in the Region 5 race. Viewmont is 8-6 overall and has a 7-4 mark in Region 5.

Viewmont had a disappointing 4-1 loss at Woods Cross on Sept. 19, allowing three goals in the first half. The Vikings’ lone score came courtesy of Lucy Morris in the second half. However, Woods Cross followed this up with a 1-0 shutout at home over Bonneville on Tuesday. Both Viking goals came in the first 40 minutes. Annie Layton and Sienna Allen scored for the Vikings, with Tally Smith and Kamree Day getting assists. Susan Lamb got the shutout for Woods Cross.

The Vikings are 10th in the RPI rankings. After their big game at Bountiful this Thursday, the Vikings travel to Box Elder Oct. 1 and then entertain Roy on Oct. 3 to conclude the regular season.

Geilman had a TD pass of 50 yards and 33 yards to Connor Clark.

Northridge scored first in the second half to cut the margin to 35-7. For good measure, Bountiful added to its lead when Zeke Murdock scored on a 20-yard touchdown run with just under 10 minutes to play in the game. Northridge scored at the 7:09 mark in the fourth quarter.

The Redhawks play at Clearfield this Friday.

Woods Cross vs. Viewmont

The two Davis County rivals put on an offensive show last Friday, totaling 84 points in a 50-34 Woods Cross victory. The Wildcats moved to 2-1 in Region 5 and 4-2 overall. The Vikings are now 1-2 in league play and 4-2 overall.

Villami Tapa’atoutai had a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for Woods Cross, followed by a 3-yard score on the ground from Viewmont’s Titan Longson. Tied at 7-7, the game saw a big turn in the second quarter.

Tapa’atoutai ‘s 5-yard touchdown run made it 14-7 Woods Cross, but Viewmont struck back. Kingston Mickens had a 67-yard touchdown reception from Longson; however, a missed extra point left the score at 13-7 in favor of the Vikings. Woods Cross then went on a 16-0 run to end the half.

Tapa’atoutai had TD runs of 10 and 5 yards, followed by a 35-yard field goal from Jace Bills. Now ahead 30-13, the Wildcats appeared to be in command.

But the Vikings weren’t done yet.

Longson had a TD run of 18 yards, and Benji Tolman crossed the goal line from 12 yards out. The point after was unsuccessful, but Viewmont had climbed back in the game, trailing just 30-26 midway through the third quarter.

With 5:05 to play in the third quarter, Tapa’atoutai scored yet again, this time on a 13yard run. Mickens and Longson hooked up again for Viewmont with 2:26 left in the third quarter. After a successful two-point conversion, Woods Cross held a narrow 37-34 lead.

It was all Woods Cross in the fourth.

Krew Fornelius had a 13-yard touchdown run with just under eight minutes to go. Tapa’atoutai scored on a 19-yard touchdown run with 42 second to play. It was his sixth touchdown of the game. Tapa’atoutai had a game to remember. The junior running back carried the ball 43 times for 271 yards on the evening. He was so busy and successful that the Wildcats only had to throw the ball six times.

For Viewmont, Longson was 15 of 25 passing for 261 yards. Mickens had a productive offensive day. The wideout caught six passes for 152 yards and two touchdowns.

This Friday, Woods Cross plays at Roy, while Viewmont travels to Box Elder. l

Woods Cross

The Wildcats have had an up-anddown season, sporting a 5-9 overall mark and a 5-6 Region 5 record.

Woods Cross has picked up two critical victories in a row, however.

On Tuesday, the Wildcats took down Box Elder at home by the count of 2-1. Sydney Oaks and Bailey Brown scored for the Wildcats, with Elizabeth Cowley getting an assist.

This win followed the 4-1 triumph over Viewmont, a surprising result considering Viewmont won the earlier meeting on Aug. 27 by the score of 2-0. This time, playing at home, Woods Cross built a 3-0 halftime advantage. Brown had two goals and an assist, while Clara Howes had a goal and an assist. Nixon Milliron also scored a goal, and Oakes recorded two assists in the win.

Woods Cross is 17th in the RPI standings. It faces Bonneville on the road on Thursday, followed by a game at Roy on Oct. 1. The final regularseason game is at home against North-

ridge on Oct. 3.

Farmington

At 3-4 in Region 1, Farmington won’t be able to win the league outright. But the Phoenix have three more games to move up the standings and improve their RPI ranking, which currently sits at No. 17. The 6-6 Phoenix lost at Weber on Tuesday by the score of 1-0. This followed a 2-1 road win at Syracuse on Sept. 19. The victory was payback for an earlier loss on Aug. 29 to the Titans by the same score. In this matchup, Farmington scored a second-half goal and shut out Syracuse in the final 40 minutes after a 1-1 halftime score. Grace Quinton had both Farmington goals, with Claire Rencher and Oaklee Stanford getting assists.

Farmington takes on Layton this Thursday at home, followed by a road game at Fremont. Farmington plays at Davis Oct. 3 in the Region 1 finale. l

Davis, Viewmont teams win District cross country

LAYTON—Cross country runners from throughout the Davis District competed at Layton Commons Park, with Davis and Viewmont each winning team titles.

By Tom Haraldsen t.haraldsen@mycityjournals.com

The hundreds of supporters watching the annual Davis District high school cross country championships at Layton Commons Park on Sept. 18 might have thought they heard the jet engines from some F-35s from Hill Air Base, but what they may have actually heard was Peter Gehring.

The Viewmont senior “blazed” his way to victory in the boys varsity race in a time of 13:31.94, well ahead of second-place Landon Sturgeon of Farmington at 13:45.36. Gehring led the Vikings to the team title in the annual event, as Viewmont finished with 35 team points to second-place Davis’ 54 points.

In the girls varsity race, it was Farmington freshman Ellie Dorius with her best race of the season, finishing first in a time of 16:09.03, just ahead of Woods Cross senior Katie Hansen at 16:11.25.

On a beautiful “almost” fall afternoon, runners from all Davis District high schools traversed the 2.75 mile course as the cross country season neared its midpoint. The Davis girls edged out Viewmont for the team title with a score of 44 to the Vikings’ 45.

with three golfers in the top 12 – Cottle (fourth), Luke Smith (seventh) and Jordan (11th).

Viewmont

At Sun Hills, Viewmont’s Oliver Gladwell shot a one-under par 70 to finish sixth individually. The Vikings were sixth overall as a team with a score of 303.

Other scores for the Vikings were Corver Barnes 74, James Gardner 77, Joe Gladwell 82, Brigham Shupe and Sam Simmons 83, Kimball Essig 86 and Mike Archibald 91.

Viewmont came in third at Schneiters Bluff with the same team score of 303. Barnes finished fourth overall with a round of 72 while Gladwell’s 74 placed him sixth.

Also playing for the Vikings were Gardner (76), Essig (81), Gladwell (84), Isaac Tingey (86), Shupe (87) and Austin Cannon (95).

Viewmont is fourth in the tight region standings with Barnes currently fifth, Gladwell sixth and Gardner 12th individually.

Davis

Davis’ Max Landon shot a four-under-par 67 to lead the Darts to a fourthplace finish at The Barn Sept. 16, just one stroke back of Fremont who was in third.

“We were only +5 total out of our top four scores,” said head coach Josh Roberts.

Freshman Collin Payne had a 72 –on his 15th birthday – while Jacob Merrill and Grey Traveller both had rounds of 75s.

“Jackson Gross shot a 76 but dealt with some early adversity and fought hard to get us another score if we needed it,” Roberts said. l

There were solid performances all around.

Dorius and Hansen broke away from two other runners – Viewmont’s

Alyssa Clayton and Davis’ Isabella Cram, in the final mile of the race. Clayton finished third at 16:16.12 and Cram fourth at 16:21.62. Farmington coach Ben Jacobson praised Dorius for her performance. The Darts edged the Vikings for the team title with a “lean” at the end of the sixth-seventh place finish. Freshman Erin Chris-

tensen of Davis beat Viewmont senior Andrey Lemon by six-tenths of a second in a great finish by both at 17:04 and change.

The rest of the top 10 medalists in the girls race were Davis senior Helen Glaze in fifth at 16:56.27, Viewmont senior Tempe Anderson in eighth (17:07.01), Layton senior Katie Ormsby in ninth (17:10.78) and Syracuse senior Kennedy Hadley in 10th (17:18.17).

Following Gehring and Sturgeon

in the boys varsity race were these medalists: Jonny Reed, Davis senior, in third at 13:47.20, Viewmont senior Talmage Bruscke in fourth at 13:47.21, Layton senior Jonathan Thornley in fifth at 13:52.41, Viewmont junior Ayden Lee in sixth (14:00.75), Davis sophomore Harrison Skousen in seventh (14:02.58), Farmington sophomore Hudson Scott in eighth (14:03.40), Viewmont junior Sam Hooper in ninth (14:04.41) and Woods Cross junior Sam Phippen in 10th (14:04.62)

In boys team scoring, Viewmont and Davis were followed by Layton, Farmington, Woods Cross, Syracuse, Bountiful, Clearfield and Northridge. In the girls team race, Davis and Viewmont were followed by Woods Cross, Layton, Syracuse, Farmington, Bountiful, Clearfield and Northridge.

There were also two huge JV races. The Viewmont girls placed six runners in the top seven, led by junior Brooklyn Brady. The Vikings finished with 17 team points, nearly a perfect score (15 is perfect in the sport where low score wins). Viewmont also had the top four finishers in JV boys, with junior Nick Placido taking first place. The Vikings had just 20 points in the boys race.

Many of these runners will return to this same Layton course for their respective regional races in early October, as the season heads toward state finals to be held Oct. 30 in a return to Sugar House Park. l

Bountiful, Woods Cross sweep Region 5 opponents

No. 1 Bountiful and third-ranked Woods Cross swept through two region matches each this week early on in Region 5 play.

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Bountifulbeat Bonneville 25-16, 2515, 25-4 Sept. 17.

Head coach Kelsie White noted the play of two seniors in particular with Mae Johnson recording a seniorhigh five blocks and Ellen Davis putting away five kills with zero errors.

“Our match went really well,” said White. “The girls are improving all the time and all three of our teams won. Varsity was able to serve aggressively and get Bonneville out of system, making it easier for our front row to put up a strong block. The whole team had a great night and I was happy with our performance.”

Against Roy Sept. 19, the Redhawks also swept another Region 5 opponent 25-10, 25-16, 25-19.

Bountiful improved to 9-2 overall and 3-0 in the region standings.

Woods Cross

Woods Cross swept Clearfield 259, 25-14, 25-13 Sept. 17.

Junior Avery Poulton led offensively with 12 kills while also serving five aces. Sophomore Zamari Christensen also recorded five aces with sophomore Brylee Howard adding two. Christensen ran the offense with 22 assists while, on the defensive side, Poulton, Christensen, junior Madison Schaerrer and junior Alexis Ormsby each had seven digs on the back line.

CROSS HIGH sophomore setter Zamari Christensen is averaging more than eight assists a set this season for the third-ranked Wildcats squad.

Against Box Elder Sept. 19, the Wildcats won 25-13, 25-10, 25-12 to bring their season record to 9-3 and Region 5 mark to 3-1.

Viewmont

Viewmont lost to Northridge 2225, 25-13, 23-25, 25-9, 15-8 Sept. 17.

“This match was a battle of servers versus passers – whichever team received the ball better and limited the errors won the set,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “Northridge made great adjustment and when their libero came alive for them, that set a great tone for them. We did well to weather the storm and took the match to five sets. We will need to work harder to prepare for our next meeting with them.”

Against Bonneville Sept. 19, the

Vikings pulled out a five-setter 28-26, 22-25, 13-25, 25-19, 15-4.

“This was another battle within Region 5 and the match was fun to watch,” said Lippa. “Bonneville looked the best they have looked in all four years I have been at Viewmont. Both teams received the serve well, and what Viewmont had in power, Bonneville had in quickness. The only main differences from the even play were when they went on a serving run in set 3 and us in set 5. We know we need to work hard to prepare for more Region 5 battles this season.”

The Vikings are now 3-4 overall this season and 2-2 in region play.

Davis

In its first Region 1 match of the season, Davis lost to Weber 22-25, 2520, 25-18, 25-22 Sept. 19.

The Darts were led by senior Leah Tuft with 17 kills while junior Mirella Gonzales Carrillo had a double-double with 10 kills and 11 digs. Senior Avery Jensen and senior Olivia Checketts ran the offense, recording a combined 36 assists while also both serving up four aces each – to go with junior Zoey Walsh’s five – of the team’s 16. Defensively, Walsh led on the back line with 16 digs while senior Paige Halliday had three blocks at the net. Davis is now 6-12 this season and 0-1 in region play.

Farmington

Farmington also lost its first Region 1 match against Syracuse in four sets 25-16, 22-25, 25-21, 25-10 Sept. 19.

The Phoenix team fell to 5-9 overall on the year. l

USU UWLP and Envision Utah Publish ‘What Matters Most to Utahns?’

By Melinda Colton, Melinda.Colton@usu.edu and Julene Reese, Julene.Reese@usu.edu

Envision Utah, a nonprofit organization focused on enhancing the quality of life in Utah communities, conducted an online survey of Utahns in November 2021 to identify their values, priorities, and pressing concerns. The study identified key issues Utahns need to prioritize to ensure that more Utah women and their families thrive.

According to the results, the most important issues both men and women agreed on include water, housing/cost of living, healthcare, education, air quality, and economic development/jobs. Respondents considered diversity and inclusion, climate change, and arts and culture less urgent. But the survey also found that men and women differ in certain areas.

“Women placed higher importance on healthcare, preparation for disasters, diversity and inclusion, climate change, and arts and culture

– issues that are more closely linked to overall quality of life,” said Susan R. Madsen, director of the Utah State University Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP), who partnered with Envision Utah to publish the survey results. “As those who are more likely to serve as primary caregivers for children and elderly family members, perhaps women have more immediate concerns about their health and safety and are more sympathetic to underserved or marginalized groups.”

The numbers echo the 2023 WalletHub gender study gap that ranked Utah as the worst state for women’s equality. The study underscores the need for strategies to address gender disparities in the state’s performance on issues important to all Utahns – especially Utah women.

When participants were asked to review a phrase and indicate if it was unifying and constructive or more divisive and hurtful, women found the word “color blindness” more divisive than men (5.5 compared to 6.1, respectively). The varied per-

ceptions of terms related to divisiveness and inclusivity have never been more apparent than they are in the current political landscape. The findings from this report confirm the obvious: careful communication is essential in policy discussions that seek to affect change; paramount are the terms that evoke different reactions and levels of divisiveness.

“Women rated Utah’s performance lower than men on 14 of the 17 issues,” Madsen said. “This represents a notable gender gap, with women identifying a great need for improvement in these important areas.”

Madsen recommends that policymakers prioritize and engage the women adversely impacted in these areas.

“Including more women’s voices in decision-making will ensure that all Utah residents are better represented and served,” she said.

The gender differences in how well Utah is performing emphasize the need for targeted interventions and improvements. Policymakers

and organizations must prioritize equality for women in the workplace, including job opportunities, promotions, and equal pay for equal work. Advancing workplace measures and addressing affordable housing and healthcare services can help ease the high costs of living currently facing Utahns.

“Research over the last several decades demonstrates that when individuals and organizations better understand gender differences in values, attitudes, and experiences, more people are better served in ways that yield the greatest impact,” Madsen said.

Authors of the white paper include Madsen, the Karen Haight Huntsman Endowed Professor of Leadership in the USU Jon M. Huntsman School of Business, Eric Dahlin, associate professor of sociology at Brigham Young University, and Kolene Anderson, associate director of the USU Utah Women & Leadership Project. l

Report reveals how Utah's housing crisis impacts health

A new policy brief from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute highlights how housing conditions, neighborhood environments, and housing affordability directly and indirectly impact health, with Utah’s housing crisis exacerbating negative health outcomes through high costs, poor-quality homes, and increased stress.

By Bailey Chism bailey.c@thecityjournals.com

Anew policy brief from the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute revealed the impacts housing can have on your health – both directly and indirectly.

The brief detailed three primary “pathways” to explain the effect a person’s living situation can have on their

physical and mental health: housing conditions, neighborhood conditions, and housing affordability.

The institute said housing affordability – which is impacted by Utah’s ongoing housing crisis – can both directly and indirectly affect the health outcomes of Utahns.

High housing costs can drive people into lower-quality homes, and housing affordability can also affect how much money someone is able to spend (or not spend) on healthcare. Housing affordability can also lead to homelessness, which is associated with higher rates of poor mental and physical health, according to the brief.

The brief said lower-quality housing (such as homes with water leaks, pest infestations, or other issues) is correlated with worse health outcomes. Poorly maintained housing can contribute to higher rates of indoor allergens, but a completed

kitchen and adequate plumbing can help protect against disease, the brief explained.

The brief also said that a person’s neighborhood can have “profound implications” on their health, as unsafe neighborhoods can lead to worse mental and physical outcomes. On the other hand, the brief said access to affordable housing can limit stressors and support one’s mental health.

“Improving housing quality and affordability and making investments in neighborhood conditions can positively impact Utahns’ health,” the brief said. “By addressing the state’s housing crisis, Utah is also investing in the health of its residents.”

The full policy brief – including graphs and statistics – can be viewed online through the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute. l

NORTH SALT LAKE—North

Salt Lake held a Latino Heritage Night at Legacy Park, part of three events this summer in its “Unity in the Community” program.

By Tom Haraldsen t.haraldsen@mycityjournals.com

Asummer of fun Monday Night activities concluded on Sept. 23 with the Latino Heritage Night held at Legacy Park. Coupled with the Monday Night Food Trucks and Vendor Fair, residents got to enjoy cuisine, music and crafts.

This was the second year that Latino Heritage Night has been held in North Salt Lake as part of its “Unity in the Community” series. It was one of three “themed” activities held this year in conjunction with the food truck events. Previously the city held Juneteenth and Pride events.

“The Latinos in Action group at Mueller Park Jr. High partners with the city to help host our Latino Heritage Night,” said City Councilmember Alisa Van Langeveld, who chaired the event. “The students come down and run the kids activity booth. Tonight the students are painting rocks and helping younger children have a fun activity. They also helped coordinate with some of the vendors and with a dance company performing tonight. This is our second year partnering with them.”

The event is significant to the city, which has a fairly large Hispanic population. Foxboro Elementary has a minority student population of 33 percent, and Adelaide Elementary’s student body is 47 percent minority.

“It’s important to celebrate the diversity of cultures in our city,” Van Langeveld said. “As always, we have traditional vendors offering jewelry, crafts and some small bakery items. We’ve also invited specific vendors to be part of Latino

Latino Heritage Night held in North Salt Lake

It’s important to celebrate the diversity of cultures in our city. As always, we have traditional vendors offering jewelry, crafts and some small bakery items. We’ve also invited specific vendors to be part of Latino Heritage Night, such as Utah Foster Cares, the Davis County Health Department, and the Ladies of Charity Center of Hope Food Pantry.

Heritage Night, such as Utah Foster Cares, the Davis County Health Department, and the Ladies of Charity Center of Hope Food Pantry.”

“We love the whole concept of unity in our community,” Mayor Brian Horrocks said. “A large part of our population is Hispanic, so this is our largest minority demographic. We’ve had just some wonderful nights out here with different groups. These are always great events here in the park.”

It ties in nicely with National Hispanic Heritage Month that began Sept. 15 and runs through Oct. 15. The observation began as Hispanic Heritage Week in 1968 under President Lyndon B. Johnson and was extended to the full month by President Ronald Reagan in 1988.

According to the official National Hispanic Heritage Month website, the month “traditionally honors the cultures and contributions of both Hispanic and Latino Americans as we celebrate heritage rooted in all Latin American countries.” Many Latin American countries, includ -

Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua, celebrate their independence days throughout this month, and the month is a celebration of both independence and unity.

5 best foliage drives this fall

There are plenty of places to see fall colors, but for Utah, there’s perhaps no better spot than the many canyons around the state. Here is a list from north to south of some of the best spots to catch these amazing colors before they’re gone.

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com

For decades, one of the favorite pastimes of Americans across the country has been to take a drive through the beautiful fall leaves, to see the pops of red, yellow, green and orange as the seasons change. As development has spread, it’s more difficult to find these in residential areas, but, fortunately for Utahns, there’s no shortage of canyons full of beautiful colors to see this fall. Here are our top five drives for fall colors, in order from north to south.

5. Logan Canyon – Connecting Bear Lake and Cache Valley, Logan Canyon is the farthest north on our list, and has plenty to offer. Driving alongside the Logan River for most of the way, Logan Canyon eventually leads to Garden City on the western shores of

4. Box Elder/Sardine Canyon – Colloquially dubbed Sardine Canyon, Box Elder Canyon, which leads from the Wasatch Front and Brigham City to Logan is one of the wider-open canyons on this list. Despite that, the rolling hills and mountains on the drive from Brigham City to Logan offer plenty of fall leaves to look at with unobstructed views. Stop by and grab

cant elevation change, and therefore some of the earliest color changes on the trees. The beautiful contrast between the pines and deciduous trees on the drive provides a backdrop worthy of a Bob Ross painting.

2. Provo Canyon – The quickest way from Provo and Orem to Heber, Provo Canyon has one thing all of the canyons on our list don’t - Bridal Veil Falls. Encompassed by trees with leaves changing colors, this beautiful, and staggeringly tall waterfall offers views that can’t be found anywhere else, even in fall-famous New England.

1. Spanish Fork Canyon – Our farthest-south canyon is one of the longer drives as well, but well worth the effort. One of the most efficient ways to get down to Moab, and the National Parks in the Southeastern part of the state, Spanish Fork Canyon gives drivers a diverse ecology, shifting from deciduous and coniferous forests to the deserts of Carbon County. It’s a long drive, but a beautiful one, and on the way to some of the best parks in the nation.

There are many other places to see the fall leaves of course, but canyons and these canyons in particular promise to be saturated with amazing, vibrant colors this fall. Don’t miss out, and head up before it’s too late, and the leaves have all dropped. Remember, leaves at higher elevations will change their colors sooner than in the valleys, many are already starting to change.l

BADGER owner of Lee’s Marketplace.

Mountain Green welcomes news grocery store to town

MOUNTAIN GREEN—Hundreds turn out for the grand opening of Lee’s Marketplace, the new grocery store in Mountain Green.

By Verlene Johnson verlene.j@mycityjournal.com

Excitement filled the air in Morgan Valley on Thursday, Sept. 19, as hundreds gathered in Mountain Green for the grand opening of Lee’s Marketplace.

Sheri Badger, owner of Lee’s Marketplace welcomed the crowd and gave the history of Lee’s.

In 1981 Lee and Shari Badger purchased a small grocery store in Smithfield, Utah called Jack’s Foodtown. Over the next few years, the store was remodeled several times and by 1991, the store finally doubled in size.

Because the northern end of Cache Valley was growing rapidly the spring of 1994 brought the grand opening of a brand-new larger building across the

street from Jack’s Foodtown.

This new store included a new pharmacy, deli, scratch bakery and other expanded departments. After 13 years, the Badgers dropped the name Jack's Foodtown and began the legacy of Lee's Marketplace.

Guest speakers at Mountain Green’s grand opening included Duane Johnson, the property owner and Jared Mitchell from Associated Food Stores with Johnathan Badger, CEO and President of Lee’s Marketplace giving closing remarks.

Traca Wardell, Morgan Chamber of Commerce President, performed the ribbon cutting officially opening Lee’s Marketplace Mountain Green location.

The long anticipated store is a welcomed option for grocery shopping for both Morgan and Mountain Green residents. Throughout the opening weekend, the store offered special grand opening deals and had plenty of employees on had from several different Lee’s locations to keep the shelves stocked and help custom-

Morgan golf finishes regular season undefeated in Region tournaments

MORGAN—The Morgan High Golf team finished up September with two Region 13 wins at tournaments. They are preparing for the Region 13 tournament and State. Senior Lance Loughton continues to lead the region and state, while freshman Jace Benson is second.

By Liisa London Mecham holaprivet@yahoo.com

Coach Dennis Peterson and assistants Troy North and Doug Kearsley have their team performing at a high level moving into postseason play. In the Sept. 23 Region 13 finale at the South Summit Invitational played at Wasatch Mountain-Lake Course, Morgan golfers scored five of the top seven places including first, second, third, fifth and sixth. Senior Lance Loughton finished four under at 68 to claim medalist honors while freshman Jace Benson (74) and sophomore Caleb Rees (75) were second and third. Senior Daxon Loertscher shot a 76 to place fifth and freshman Korver Toone tied for sixth (77). As a team, the Trojans shot 293, eclipsing the Union squad (318) by 25 points.

In the Region 13 team rankings, Morgan leads Union by 18 strokes overall with Loughton on top of the leaderboard at 69.61 followed by Benson (71.23) in second. Ben Lomond’s Cayson VanBeekum is third (71.41) with the Trojans’ Rees (75.96) and Toone (77.75) fourth and seven in the standings.

Last week at the Grantsville Invitational at the Oquirrh Hills Golf Course in Tooele, the Morgan boys set a new school team record, shooting 283, -5 under par despite unpleasant, fall weather. Three Trojans finished under par. Loughton shot a six-under 66 to lead the team and claim medalist bragging rights. He was followed by Rees (tied for third) and Benson (tied for third) who both tallied -1 par scores of 71. Toone finished with a 75 (+3) in sixth place, and junior Kash Peterson shared seventh (76).

In the state rankings, Morgan is first at 296 strokes while Richfield (298) claims second. Juab trails at 305, and Carbon is averaging 310.

After competing in the Region tournament, the team will advance to the state tournament Oct. 16-17 at The Ridge Golf Course in West Valley City, looking to defend their state championship.l

ers find what they were looking for.

Besides offering the usual groceries, this new Mountain Green location offers a fresh delicatessen, fresh sushi bar, a full-service pharmacy, a scratch bakery, local produce, quality cut meats and of course the friendly service that sets Lee’s apart.

Lee loved greeting each of his customers and looked at each of them as guests in his stores. According to Lee’s Publicity department, “Lee’s carries on the traditions started in 1981 retaining their core values of friendly service, respect, integrity, ex-

ceptional, neat and clean, and dependable.” Lee values getting to know his employees and recognizes the people around him, the people that made Lee’s what it is. “Lee Badger left a legacy of bright, clean, and friendly grocery stores.”

Mountain Green’s Lee’s Marketplace is located at 4935 West Old Highway Road. Store hours Monday-Saturday 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. l

Morgan posts 49-0 shutout at Juan Diego

MORGAN—On a rainy, windy Friday night, the Trojans notch their first-ever shutout against the Salt Lake City Catholic school. It was Morgan’s region opener in which the Trojans had 540 yards of total offense and allowed just 113.

By Brian Shaw shawproducer@gmail.com

Through most of the Trojans 3A North Division opener at Juan Diego Friday Sept. 20, the hosts weren’t giving way as easily—a battle head coach Jared Barlow said his team was expecting.

“We knew it would be a physical game, and it was,” said Coach Barlow of the Trojans 49-0 win. “I loved the focus that we had and the discipline with how we played.”

Morgan [6-0] wasted zero time in scoring, as Lincoln Gilson walked into the end zone untouched with 1:09 elapsed, taking a 6-0 lead. This happened after the senior scorched the hosts with a 51-yard run two plays prior.

Using flashcards did no good, either—Bridger Ostrander completely blew up one designed runpass option 6 yards in Juan Diego’s backfield.

The hosts then tried something out of Idaho Falls Skyline’s playbook, a pooch punt, to kick the ball away from Gilson. It almost worked—if not for the crafty senior who picked it up off Jake Hansen’s shoulder pad and ran it into plus territory.

Then senior Drew Korth blasted into the end zone for his first score of the game with 4:50 left

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: I’ve been watching the awesome series “S.W.A.T.” and saw Lou Ferrigno’s name in the credits, but I haven’t seen him actually appear on screen. Is he a producer or something?

A: It sounds like you’re watching for the wrong Lou Ferrigno. You were probably looking for the weathered, craggy Lou Ferrigno best remembered for starring in the late ‘70s “Incredible Hulk” series. You weren’t looking for the perennially fresh-faced,

in the first quarter and a 14-0 Morgan lead.

After that, the senior all-purpose back, who ended the game with 81 yards rushing and one more score in the second half, had a touchdown catch called back for holding. Then, the referees whistled the Trojans for four other penalties equaling 40 yards in just 10 seconds of action.

The defense came to play as the sun dipped on this Friday night and the rains came down from Mount Olympus. The Trojans forced Juan Diego into third and long situations the entire game, bailing out several offensive miscues that included two interceptions thrown against strong winds.

The best field position Juan Diego had in the first half: the Trojans 27. That was due to headsup play from Tagg Rich, who blitzed from several fronts in the second quarter and had the game’s

square-jawed Lou Ferrigno Jr., his son. Lou Jr. is on track to surpass his famous dad’s screen career — at least in numbers. He already has nearly 50 film and TV roles on his resume, including, as you mention, CBS’s “S.W.A.T.” He’s recurred in all seven of that show’s seasons as Donovan Rocker, an officer who was appointed to a S.W.A.T. team leader in Season 2.

As a fan of high-stakes procedural dramas (or maybe shows with punctuation built into their titles), you might also recognize Lou Jr. from his recurring role in “9-1-1,” in which he plays Tommy Kinard, a pilot for the Los Angeles Fire Department.

Though they’re definitely his bread and butter, he doesn’t exclusively take firstresponder roles. He also just did a full-season arc last year in the popular youthfocused Netflix drama “Outer Banks,” playing a villainous treasure hunter. And, he first

only sack. Alongside the junior’s teammates, they all made life miserable for the Soaring Eagle, who were tackled in the backfield by five different Trojans in the first half.

After another pooch that Gilson fielded in the air, the senior bulled in for a 1-yard TD and 21-0 lead for the Trojans with 9:01 remaining in the second quarter. The next Juan Diego punt led to Hansen atoning for his earlier mistake as the junior juked several players en route to a 22-yard return.

With 33 seconds left in the half, Gilson would tack on his third score of the game, a 5-yard plunge adding to his 151 total yards and 3 TDs he’d have to give Morgan a 28-0 lead that it’d increase with three more scores in the second half, two from junior Cade Randall, who himself was 5-for-5 with 106 yards passing.

“We have never shut out Juan Diego, this was a first. We have an amazing group of coaches that get the team ready, and the ability to execute at a high level is awesome to watch,” said Coach Barlow. “I was excited to see how we came off the homecoming win against Kearns. The drive and focus this team has is second to none. Hopefully, we will continue to unite and work for a common goal.”

In girls’ soccer, the Trojans posted 8-0 wins over Grantsville and Ben Lomond. Lacie Poll and Reece Crowther had four goals each, Kapree Charlton three, Macie Burton two and Macey Miller, Mia Summers and Saige Jones one. Maddie Fisher and Skye Bernardo each earned a shutout. l

came to people’s attention with a threeepisode run in the late seasons of “How I Met Your Mother,” playing a rival love interest for the Mother character.

Q: What is Johnny Galecki doing since “The Big Bang Theory” ended?

A: Not as much as you’d think. Maybe recovering.

Being one of the stars of one of the biggest shows on TV for 12 years probably tired him out a little. And at the end of “The Big Bang Theory’s” landmark run in 2019, he was moonlighting in another sitcom at the same time: “The Conners.” That, of course, was a return to the role that made him famous, “The Conners” being a sequel/ rebrand of “Roseanne,” the sitcom in which he starred in the ‘90s.

As if that weren’t enough, Galecki also did a voice in the tear-jerking feature “A

Dog’s Journey” (2019), which came out a few months after “Big Bang” wrapped. Since then he’s transitioned to being a TV producer. He tried to get a medical drama off the ground back in 2022, called “Catching Babies,” which would have focused specifically on a hospital’s maternity ward, but it didn’t get picked up by ABC. But, he’s since returned to more familiar territory — he’s developing a sitcom pilot that would follow a small startup company trying to break out in the early days of the internet. “AOK” (the title seems to be a pun on one-time tech giant AOL) would return Galecki to the world of nerds and the familiar surroundings of CBS.

Morgan County has used ARPA funds to improve infrastructure and add personnel

MORGAN—Morgan County has received more than $2.2 million in American Rescue Plan Act. They are now deciding how to spend what is left.

By Linda Petersen l.petersen@mycityjournals.com

M organ County Commissioners recently discussed how best to spend the leftover federal American Rescue Plan Act funds from what the county has received through the state of Utah.

The American Rescue Plan Act, passed in March 2021, authorized distribution of $350 billion in funding to all cities, towns and villages in the United States to support their response to and recovery from the COVID-19 public health emergency. These funds could be used to “fight the pandemic and support families and businesses struggling

with its public health and economic impacts, maintain vital public services, even amid declines in revenue resulting from the crisis; [and] build a strong, resilient, and equitable recovery by making investments that support long-term growth and opportunity” according to the U.S. Treasury website.

Over the last three years Morgan County has received close to $2.2 million in ARPA monies which have largely been used to improve infrastructure, help pay for the Mountain Green sewer plant expansion and hire additional sheriff’s deputies. Funds have already been used to replace a fairground water line, add two sheriff’s deputies for three years, provide the county attorney with assistance for case back log, an upgrade of the county commission chamber’s audio-visual system, radios, and GIS parcel fabric (a Global Imaging System mapping program). The county made a do -

nation of $40,000 to the Children’s Justice Center. $400,000 was also passed through to Mountain Green Sewer District for its sewer plant expansion.

Planned improvements to the Taggart river access have not yet been made, but the commission has budgeted $100,000 in ARPA funds for it. $100,000 earmarked for Morgan City water line infrastructure was not expended because the city did not go forward with that project.

On Sept. 17, the commission decided to give $300,000 of the leftover funds to Mountain Green Sewer District for the plant expansion which is about halfway complete and is expected to come online June 2025. Earlier this year sewer district officials informed commissioners that the project was going to cost more than expected and asked that Morgan County help out in any way that it could.

“We've already committed and

given them $400,000 of this and we did assist with a million-dollar grant as well so … we definitely have helped the sewer district out, but it sounds like we could still do that and still do all the projects we want to do,” Commission Chair Mike Newton said.

After discussion, the commission decided to set aside the remainder of approximately $235,000 in ARPA funds for a fairgrounds electrical update.

The commissioners also discussed spending park impact fees at the same meeting. They have $377, 673, for regional parks, $411,508 for community parks and $509,514 for transportation in those funds. In the end the commissioners decided to consult further with county personnel and get a list of needed projects before determining those expenditures. l

Zachary Quinto is embracing his latest television mission: to unlock what makes people tick.

That’s what the “Heroes,” “American Horror Story” and Star Trek movie franchise alum’s neurologist character does in “Brilliant Minds,” NBC’s new Monday drama inspired by the work of the late author and physician Oliver Sacks, who also was the basis for Robin Williams’ role in the 1990 movie “Awakenings.”

The unconventional Dr. Oliver Wolf (Quinto) is new to a Bronx, N.Y., hospital where he’s determined to introduce a new perspective on psychology. He guides a group of interns through dealings with patients and, in the process, gives himself and the novice doctors fresh insights into their own lives.

In making “Brilliant Minds,” Quinto notes that Sacks is “ultimately our North Star. He was an incredible, complex, inspirational and influential doctor and person. It’s this very unique alchemy for me where I get to play a character who is inspired by a real-life person but I’m not tethered to the period or the behavior of that person in real life. I get to take all of the rich tapestry of who Oliver Sacks was and inform the creation of Oliver Wolf, but Oliver Wolf exists in his own world. It’s an experience that I’ve never had before.”

Oct.

Set to return to Broadway soon in “Cult of Love,” Quinto acknowledges that a certain alchemy also exists between “Brilliant Minds” and a past TV credit of his. He recalls, “‘Heroes’ was the job that changed my life and my career 15 years ago on NBC, so it really does feel like coming home in a way. Also interestingly, ‘Heroes’ was about a solar eclipse awakening people’s powers and awakening people’s sense of what they could accomplish in their lives … and we started filming ‘Brilliant Minds’ on April 8, the day of (this year’s) solar eclipse.
