By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
Ludwing Campos is the first to admit he made some bad decisions in his 20s and was incarcerated for two years, but while in jail he came to realize family is everything. When he was released, he decided to make a change and last Friday, Campos was recognized for his hard work as he was named the Davis Technical College 2025 Student of the Year.
“My family has always been there for me,” said Campos. “It was my turn to give back. I disciplined myself and held my-
of the Year
self accountable for all of my actions and moved that same formula into school.”
Campos was one of six students chosen as Student of the Year for their individual schools and then selected as the overall winner. He represented the School of Transportation. Halle Williams, School of Health Professions was the runner up.
“These awards spotlight the very best among our students,” said Kelly Simerick, Vice President of Instruction and Student Success. “Individuals who exemplify excellence, perseverance and passion.”
Simerick shared a quote from the legendary soccer star Pelé. “It reflects the spirit of those who we are honoring today,” she said. “Pele said, ‘success is no accident. It’s hard work. Perseverance, learning, study, sacrifice and most of all, love of what

How the Olympics helped transform Salt Lake City into a tech hub
Salt Lake City has transformed from a 2002 Winter Olympics host into a thriving technology hub, leveraging Olympic-driven infrastructure improvements and investments in education to spur economic growth. Dubbed part of Utah’s “Silicon Slopes,” the city has seen a 51% wage increase and a booming tech workforce over two decades. The Olympics catalyzed advancements like light rail and highways while inspiring initiatives to double engineering and computer science graduates. With the 2034 Winter Games on the horizon, Salt Lake City aims to continue its momentum, expecting $6.6 billion in economic activity and further solidifying its reputation as a tech and business powerhouse.
Supreme Court probes environmental review of Utah oil railway
The Supreme Court is considering the fate of an 88-mile railroad project in Utah that would transport crude oil, focusing on whether federal officials conducted an adequate environmental review. The project, opposed by Eagle County, Colorado, and environmental groups, was approved by the Surface Transportation Board (STB) after a review, but a lower court found flaws in the process. Justices seemed inclined to support the STB’s analysis, but debate centers on the extent to which indirect impacts, such as effects on distant refineries, must be considered under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The court’s decision could have broader implications for future environmental reviews of large infrastructure projects.

OPINION
Idon’t remember the day or the year, but I remember the moment.
It was a moment I have thought of often because it was the moment I decided to change from being a shell collector to being a shell leaver.
OK, so “leaver” is not maybe a proper word. But it fits because it describes a person who might put something back where it was found (even if it is loved) or maybe even not disturb it at all in the first place.
I was walking on a beach in northern Oregon that doesn’t often offer up shells and when it does, they are most likely to be imperfect.
Broken shells are OK for me. It was even more years ago that I discovered that broken shells are just as beautiful as perfect ones. They still had color and form; they’d just had a rougher life. They deserved to be loved and so I loved them.
The collections of shells you will see around my house are just as likely to hold imperfect shells as perfect ones.
But at this one moment I am remembering now, I came upon a perfect shell. It was a surprise. A gift.
I picked it up and put it in my pocket and walked with it for a bit.
CAnd then I remembered the other shells I have at home.
IN THIS TOGETHER
BY LOUISE R. SHAW
And then I heard a little family walking behind me.
And then I surreptitiously put the shell back on the sand and kept walking, only glancing back much later to ensure that the little family had found the little shell.
They did.
I’m old now. Old enough to be done collecting and be more interested in seeing the joy others have when they do.
leave
in your path – so please, please collect shells. Until you have enough. I have enough. I want someone else to have enough. So while I might snap a photo, the shells no longer make it to my pocket.
Though I’ve been tempted.
Not that every aspect of my life is free of collections. I still find myself in the adding-one-more-treasure mode far too often.
And not that I have any problem at all with people collecting shells. They are a perfect beach souvenir and a happy reminder of days on the sand -- all the better when they are found
It was after a storm that I was walking on a beach in Southern California and saw the biggest shells I’d ever seen outside a gift shop. I was the only one walking this time, but I stuck with my vow.
Maybe someone else would find and love them. Maybe they’ll get washed back to sea.
My collection is complete.
There was something else I noticed along that beach in that cute little beach town after that storm.
And it wasn’t cute.
It was garbage. Ropes, lids, gloves, bottle-tops. So I came back the next day with gloves and a bag and picked up as much as I had the stomach for.
It wasn’t a collection I kept, but a collection that still felt meaningful.
Beautiful shells and abandoned bottle-caps are teeny tiny in the scope of the world.
Can taking or leaving them make a difference?
Do any of our teeny tiny actions matter at all?
Yes and yes, I like to think.
What we do, what we say, what we take, what we leave, what we write, matter.
It might be teeny tiny.
But for those walking behind you, those starting out their collections, those walking on a debris-strewn beach after a storm, it matters.
Let’s do what matters.l

Dealing with the challenges of Christmas
hristmas is a joyful season but always has some challenges.
The place of Christmas is often a question. Mary and Joseph ended up in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. They had gone there to pay taxes. Paying taxes is never fun but something we have to do. The place they ended up when Jesus was born was probably not their desired location to bear their first child but they made the most of the location.
Location trips a lot of people up on Christmas. Many have no choice. They will spend Christmas in the nursing home or jail. Many have no options.They may be too elderly or sick to travel. They may not have any place to go. If you have options then be thankful. If you have a place to spend Christmas then this is one of your best gifts of all. Don’t fight about the place where you will spend Christmas. Make the best of wherever you end up and celebrate with whoever is around.
The presents of Christmas are often stressful. Presents are expensive and often we don’t know what to buy and how much to spend. You may have a lot of gifts to buy or maybe you don’t have a single person for whom you will buy a gift. If you can afford to buy gifts and want to then enjoy the opportunity. If finances are meager this year, then be honest with yourself and others and say our list and budget is very limited this year. Don’t put yourself in financial jeopardy by spending money you don’t have. The greatest gift is the baby Jesus. Focusing on Him will bring more peace than a house filled with gifts.
DR. GLENN MOLLETTE
The pageantry of Christmas often becomes work. How many lights can you string on your roof or around your shrubbery? I enjoy putting up lights on a warm day but despise taking
them down in January. Just remember what goes up must come down, eventually. Try to find a mild weather day and you won’t feel like the grinch. The pressure of Christmas gets to a lot of people. People die in December. Loneliness takes over, stress becomes paramount. People get depressed. Christmas should never be a time of loneliness, stress or pressure but it was a difficult time for Mary and Joseph. They were poor people. Bringing a child into the world in a stable would not be considered an option for most of us. Traveling was a hassle and very difficult back then. While they were overjoyed with the baby Jesus, life’s circumstances were not easy. Later, they would flee to Egypt for the safety of their family which added to their pressure.
The person of Christmas must be
our focus in order to truly celebrate this season. Let’s not lose sight of the main character in the Christmas story. If we do, then we will focus on the place, presents, pageantry and pressures of Christmas. Thus, we will miss out on the real joy that the heavenly host proclaimed to those shepherds watching their sheep. “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men,” (Luke 2:14).

The Davis County Commission approved a budget of $4,341,052 – increasing last year’s total by $637,595.
The major portion of the increase can be explained by the addition of outside agency budgets being included, where they haven’t been previously.

County opens up additional warming center
Commissioners approved a lease agreement between Davis County and Davis Behavioral Health at Tuesday’s commission meeting to use a vacant building for a Code Blue Warming Center. The building is located at 850 S. Main Street in Layton. Since opening the center, Ryan Steinbeigle, Grant Administrator for Davis County said there had been one individual all three Code Blue nights.
House Bill 499 passed in 2023 required the county to have a place for the unhoused to go on extremely cold days where temperatures drop to 18 degrees or below from Oct. 15 – April 30.
Steinbeigle said individuals will be picked up at different locations in the county and bused to one of the warming centers. “They will stay the night then be taken back in the morning to the location they were picked up from. We would definitely appreciate more volunteers and currently have about 100 that have signed up.”

Cereal box domino rally topples through halls at Creekside
KAYSVILLE—Sixth grade student council members collected cereal for the Layton High Teen Center. They set up the 561 boxes like a domino chain through the halls then gave the first one a push.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
It was a bit unusual to see boxes and boxes of cereal lining the hallways at Creekside Elementary last Friday. No, the kids weren’t hungry for breakfast – they were helping those in need but in a fun and creative way. The boxes were set up like a domino rally, each one tipping into the next one until they reached the end where the last box toppled over to ring a gong declaring success.
“We’d heard about another school doing this and thought it sounded fun,” said sixth grade teacher and student council advisor Kinsey Reynolds who worked together with advisor Esther Swasey on the project. “So we decided to try it.”
The school’s first project collecting cereal was during COVID, she said. “It was easy and safe because people could just buy it and drop it off.”
The student council does some kind of service every year, she said. “They love doing it, it’s fun. We’ve collected 576 boxes since we started right af-
ter Halloween. We’re going to take them to the Layton High Teen Center.”
One of the moms is working there and said they don’t get very much cereal, said Reynolds. “The kids all like it so we’re going to take some boxes.”
“It’s fun to be on the student council and help the school,” said sixth grader Grace Martin. “We get to do fundraisers, especially this one because we get to donate food and see their happy faces.”
Martin said every day they would make an announcement about the cereal drive. “Our goal was 600. We didn’t quite make it but we got a lot. Kids would bring in their cereal boxes and stack them on the steps by their grade. The second graders won with 101 boxes.”
The student council set up the boxes with one laying down every so often. “Once we got everybody out (in the hall) we sat the ones that were down back up. We put them there so that if it didn't work it wouldn’t ruin it all.”
But it did work. As the boxes fell through the hallways like dominos, the whole school watched in anticipation. When the last box hit the gong – the crowd went wild. Kids were jumping up and down and cheering.
“Now we’ll load up the boxes and take them to the Teen Center,” said Reynolds. “It’s awesome to see youth helping other youth.” l
Vikings Give Christmas Tree Festival raises
more than $4,000
BOUNTIFUL—Viewmont High School student government put on the 7th Annual fundraiser where 31 trees were up for bidding. Funds will be used to help the grand families organization.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
The library at Viewmont High School was filled with a festive air on Monday as 31 decorated Christmas trees – lights twinkling – went up for bid. It was the 7th Annual Vikings Give Christmas Tree Festival fundraiser. Students have been knocking doors and battling between classes on who will shave it (hair) or save it and more.
“Student government reached out to all of the clubs,” said Senior Class Advisor Hailey Neilson. “They get a 4’ lit tree and they can decorate it how they want.”
There were themed trees like gingerbread, a memory tree and a daycare tree the kids helped decorate, she said. “The date night tree sold for the most. It had gift cards and tickets to CenterPoint Theatre, etc. The next highest was Chick-fill-A with 26 meal cards.”
Students provided music with a harp, violin and guitar, said Neilson. “We had a concession stand and Santa came. This is a way for the community to donate to Vikings Give in another way other than just a donation.”
In total, they raised $4,341, she said. “We are raising money for the grand families organization. Those are grandparents who have taken in minor children for various reasons. Parents could be on drugs, incarcerated or might have died.”
The last couple of years Viewmont has raised money for 270 kids, said Neilson. “Students can volunteer and pay $75 to help on six collection nights. They’re given a map and a folder with fliers to go door to door asking for donations.”
Next week the kids will be paired
up with a child and go shopping for them, she said. “Then on Friday we’ll have a grand families lunch where students get to hang out with the child they bought gifts for so the kids can see the Christmas magic.”
Any extra money will go to the school’s teen center, Neilson said. “This is the fundraiser that keeps that going all of the school year.”
Neilson said the activity that raised the most money was the Save it or Shave it game. “Students go head to head to see who’s raised the most money in a battle between classes. Three guys had to shave their heads.”
They also had a Vikings Give carnival, she said. “We try to get the whole school involved to raise money. We’d run around with cans at basketball games for donations. It’s something worth doing to see what comes out of it and the joy that it brings.” l

FARMINGTON—After eight years on the Davis School District Board of Education, John Robison is passing the torch to someone new.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
For eight years, John Robison has served on the Davis School District Board of Education, six of those as president. Robison attended his last board meeting Dec. 3 because come January, he will retire.
“My son was finishing residency in Rochester, New York,” said Robison. “My wife and I were helping his two kids and his wife get ready to move. When I started to say something, my 4-year-old granddaughter said, ‘stop, we've heard enough from you.’ (Now) you’ve heard enough from me.”
Robison has been in education for 40 years. “I ran for two reasons,” he said. “One I wanted to increase teachers’ salaries and get them more help in the classroom. The second reason was because of the students. I wanted to help them the best that I could. That’s been my goal and still is to this day.”
Robison said he started in education because he wanted to coach.
“At that time you had to be a teacher in order to coach. I was prancing around like I was the coolest man on campus. I was in heaven.”
One of his students wouldn’t dress for P.E. and Robison said he got on the kid. “I hauled him down to the office knowing the Vice Principal would rip him to pieces.”
But he was just talking to the kid, said Robison. “As he (the boy) was sitting there I saw he had tears running down his cheeks as he said why he didn’t dress for P.E. It was because his dad beat him with a waffle cord.”
He took his shirt off and his back was hamburger, Robison said. “It was the worst thing I could ever
see. At that moment I changed my philosophy. I didn’t really think about coaching being that important anymore. What I thought about was how important every kid was and not knowing what that kid went through either that morning or the night before.”
Robison said he resolved that day that he would try to make sure the kids that he taught had a better life. “I look back on that experience with embarrassment but a great deal of appreciation because it shaped what I did from that 1977 school year to today. I hope you know where my heart is. It’s with those kids. It’s with the teachers who teach those kids.”
During his time on the board he was faced with some difficult decisions, said Robison. “We had to navigate through COVID. Along with the administration we were very careful and meticulous about what to do.”
When the governor asked everyone to wear masks and he shut down the schools there was some controversy, Robison said. “We gathered information from several different sources. We didn’t just make a knee jerk decision on what we should do.”
Robison is especially proud of
the teen centers. “A good friend of mine at East High School told me about the teen center at their school,” he said. “I thought it was a great idea. He showed me how they had converted an area for a teen center. I thought ‘we should have one of those.’ We took a group of people from the district to East.”
That was the beginning of teen centers, said Robison. “Jodi (Lunt) should receive the lion’s share of the credit but we were hooked at the hip.”
This past year Robison, Board Member Emily Price and Assistant Superintendent John Zurbuchen worked together to develop the Coaches Code of Ethics. “That has been implemented in all of the schools,” he said. “We’ve also increased teachers’ salaries over those eight years. I’m proud to have been a part of that.”
“I’ve known John for 20 years,” said Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford. “He’s a legend. He has a commanding presence. You know he’s going to do the right thing, whether it’s popular or not.” That comes with some slings and arrows, he said. “This is a man who is willing to stand up and take some slings and arrows to do what is right for kids.” l
Liz Mumford’s commitment to do what needs to be done is ‘second to none’
FARMINGTON—School Board
President Liz Mumford will leave office in January. She has served for eight years.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
Liz Mumford considers her time on the Davis School District Board of Education during some of the most pivotal events in recent history as both a privilege and a challenge. Mumford, who has served as a board member for eight years and is currently the Board President will be leaving office in January.
“The consistent challenge of navigating competing interests from different community members was amplified during the pandemic and amid political tensions,” said Mumford. “I learned to listen more, consider all the perspectives, get to the facts, and act on principle. I also learned that compromise, collaboration, and consensus are critical to working with a board in a shared governance role.”
Before Mumford was elected she worked at Muir Elementary as the SEM teacher and student coun
cil advisor. “I loved teaching enrichment classes in each grade level and that's where I learned about many of the challenges facing educators and school leaders,” she said. “I ran for office because I cared about the daily experience of students and teachers and wanted to create greater opportunities for achievement.”
Collaborative efforts between the Board and the administration have led to more choices for families, better compensation for educators, and excellent learning programs like the Catalyst Center, all
day kindergarten, and robust course offerings for students, she said.
Mumford has loved being a student her whole life and education was a natural fit for her undergrad studies. “While I stayed home to raise my four boys for many years, I always found ways to stay connected to the school system.”
Board member John Robison was elected at the same time as Mumford. “I heard so many good things about Liz,” he said. “Her work ethic, her commitment and integrity to do what she is responsible to do or what she feels needs to be done is second to none.”
She’s bright but humble, Robison said. “I have great respect for her. Not only as a school. Board member but as a person.”
“Liz is someone you can count on,” said Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford. “I’ve been in education a long time and she’s never let me down as she’s been on the board. She’s so bright. She’s the real deal. I’m going to miss her mentoring and the power she brings to the district.”
In addition to her dedication to education, Mumford is also involved in charitable organizations
such as Mentors International. “Mentors International is a global nonprofit committed to empowering individuals in emerging economies through business mentoring, financial tools, and vocational training,” she said. “I've been serving on that board for a decade because I believe in their mission of helping families develop self-reliance and economic success.”
Mumford said the relationships and experiences she’s had serving in the community and schools have blessed her family. “DSD educators are our friends and neighbors, and they are the heart of our public schools.”
Mumford intends to stay involved. “I’m excited to continue my service with the nonprofit Mentors International, and I recently accepted a full-time position in the Land Trusts Advocacy and Protection Office working with institutions across the state which benefit from trust lands,” she said. “The relationships I developed with board colleagues, educators, and community members were definitely the most rewarding part of the role.” l

OBITUARIES
Julia Chloe Judd Rasmussen 1926-2024
Chloe was mighty close to being 98 years old, and now she’s mighty close to her beloved Charles…at long last. She was born on Dec. 12, 1926; she passed peacefully on Dec. 1, 2024, surrounded by loving family members and lots of tears, both of sorrow for those of us left behind, and of joy for the great and long awaited reunion with those who have gone before. Julia Chloe Judd Rasmussen was born in the “parlor” of her parents’ home in Manti, Utah, and passed in a care center in Bountiful, Utah where she had resided for just over two weeks. She died, as people do when they’re almost 98, of old age and the most tender desire to reunite.
Chloe grew up in Manti with her parents, Andrew Jackson Judd and Myrtle Harmon Judd, had an idyllic childhood as the youngest of three, Jackson Judd and Georgia Mae Judd Lowry, and met her sweetheart, Charles Ned Rasmussen, in typing class at Manti High School. While there, she enjoyed cheerleading, dances, ball games, singing MHS Forever, and generally having fun! She graduated in 1945, and then decided to seek her fortunes at Utah State University, the “AC,” where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education and Dance, with teaching certificates in both Elementary and Secondary Education, and a Minor in Sociology, with which she taught PE at West High School and fourth grade at Liberty Elementary School. She was a spirited member of Sigma Kappa Sorority where she forged lifelong friendships and fond, fond memories. She was thrilled to letter in badminton, playing doubles with Moroni Schwab, offensive lineman for the Aggies who also played for the Detroit Lions…oh that Chloe!
Chloe married her darling Charles on July 29, 1949, in the Manti Temple. They had four children: Rebecca (Gary Twitchell), John (Joyce Fehlman deceased,), David (deceased), and Polly Ann (Craig McQuarrie). They moved six times with Lederle Laboratories before settling in Bountiful for the rest of their lives. Her callings for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints included serving in presidencies and teaching positions in Young Women, Primary, and Relief Society, as well as ward librarian. She and Charles traveled the world, and then served a mission for the Church as guides for the historic sites in St.
George, Utah which they dearly loved. Chloe was the proud founder and first Captain of the Maple Hills Millennium Camp of The Daughters of the Utah Pioneers in 2000. She left a wonderful legacy in that great organization and, as was her style, she forged many, lifelong friendships. She was the proud grandmother of nine grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren. They all had many endearing names for her, and they all loved and cherished her. She will be sorely missed by family and friends alike!
“Goodnight, sweet Grammy, 2 Ema, Granny C, and Mom, May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”
Services for Chloe will be at 11 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 21, 2024 at the Mueller Park 5th Ward, 1320 East 1975 South, Bountiful, with a viewing prior from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. Interment to follow directly after at Lakeview Cemetery, 1640 E Lakeview Dr., 1640 East Lakeview Dr., Bountiful.

Busy week in prep boys basketball features highs and lows
Local boys basketball teams are getting in a few more games before Christmas break.

With just over a week of school before the holiday break, local prep boys basketball teams are in the thick of the non-region schedule. League play won’t start until early January, so teams have a handful of games left to prepare for region battles.
For some Davis County teams, this week’s slate of games will be the final times in action until after Christmas.
Davis
The Darts are 3-1 overall, with all three wins coming in blowout fashion. Davis suffered its first loss of the year on Dec. 4, falling to Bingham 73-72 on the road.
The biggest difference in this contest was a second quarter in which Davis was outscored 19-12. The Darts nearly overcame that rough stretch but fell just short, despite a 23-19 advantage in the final quarter. Davis excelled from the foul line, hitting 14 of 15 shots.
Coleman Atwater had a big game for Davis. The senior guard hit threepointers and scored 23 points to lead all players. He also added six rebounds. JT Turley, a junior guard, had 14 points and a team-high eight assists. Bennett
Wright and Croyden Christensen each had 11 points.
Davis bounced back on Dec. 6 with a fabulous defensive effort in a 69-27 romp at home over Hunter. In the 42-point victory, the Darts raced to a 40-17 halftime lead and allowed just 10 points in the second half. The Darts surrendered just 11 field goals. Atwater was once again the leading scorer, totaling 17 points. Turley contributed 14 points, while Bode Sparrow filled the stat sheet with 11 points, four rebounds, six assists and four steals.
Next up for the Darts is a home game with Brighton on Thursday, followed by a tough test on Friday against defending Class 5A champion Olympus. On Saturday, Davis hosts High-
land, which, as of our press time, was a perfect 4-0 and offered a significant challenge for the Darts.
Farmington
The Phoenix had a rough start to the season with four losses but picked up win No. 1 on Dec. 6, prevailing 6551 over Bonneville.
In the win, Farmington led 34-21 at halftime and made a fourth-quarter run after Bonneville had closed the gap to 48-41. The biggest difference in the game was Farmington’s 14 three-pointers, compared to six from Bonneville. Malakai Tobler had five of the threepointers and paced the team with 19 points. Brycen Rudolph added 13 points
and 10 rebounds. Cameron Brower chipped in 12 points, with Chase Hamblin scoring 10 points.
The Phoenix play at Herriman on Thursday in the Skyridge Tournament. On Friday, the Phoenix conclude the tournament with a yet-to-be-determined opponent.
Bountiful
The Redhawks were active last week with games in three consecutive days, Dec. 5-7. Bountiful went 2-1 in the games and entered this week with a 3-2 record.
On Dec. 5, Bountiful defeated

Bountiful is now 3-1 so far this season.
Viewmont
Viewmont defeated East 72-31 Dec. 4. The Vi-
kings dominated the game from the get-go, going up 17 to 4 after the first quarter and pouring on 55 more points to end the game.
“We did what we were supposed to do and outrebounded them. 57 to 27,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “It was good to get our first ‘W’ and now we will try to carry momentum forward.”
Mara Mickelson scored 19 points and grabbed 10 boards, Mary Carr had 17 points and 11 rebounds and Callie Peterson also had a doubledouble of 16 points and 12 rebounds to lead Viewmont.

Young Military Working Dog achieves rare deployment milestone
At just 2 years old, Military Working Dog DDuke is achieving rare milestones, including deployment and critical mission success, alongside his handler Staff Sgt. Daniel Duarte.
By Bailey Chism bailey.c@thecityjournals.com
Military Working Dog DDuke, the youngest addition to the 75th Security Forces Squadron, is making waves as he embarks on his first deployment with handler Staff Sgt. Daniel Duarte. The duo is currently supporting the 379th Air Expeditionary Wing in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility.
At just 2 years old, DDuke’s deployment is an uncommon feat.
“It is not typical for a very young dog to deploy since they are learning operational skills early on, however since DDuke is a puppy program dog, he is built from a different cloth,” said Duarte. “Puppy program dogs are known in the K9 world as the best
dogs that Lackland trains.”
DDuke’s journey began at the 341st Training Squadron’s Military Working Dog Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas, where he was bred and raised. From birth to eight weeks, the center’s puppy development specialists worked to expose him to simulations and activities critical for his future. Afterward, DDuke was fostered in a family environment for about five months before being selected for advanced training.
Duarte highlighted DDuke’s impressive adaptability and keen learning abilities.
“The squadron received DDuke at Hill on Jan. 24, 2024, and within a few months DDuke was validated and base certified, had his second birthday, became pre-deployment certified, worked two U.S. Secret Service missions and is now on his first deployment,” said Duarte.
Training for deployment included intensive sessions to familiarize DDuke with detecting explosive devices buried in dirt and sand – a critical skill for operations in their current environment. Duarte said DDuke mastered his training and was certified within six weeks.
DDuke’s contributions extend beyond deployment. During protests outside Chicago’s United Center during the Democratic National Convention, DDuke played a key role in ensuring the safety of more than 100 officers.
“The strengths that make DDuke a great MWD is his eagerness to work and his alertness. While walking around, he is constantly on guard, looking for the bad guys,” Duarte said. “DDuke also has an alternate personality of being very sweet and loving. When DDuke isn’t working, he enjoys cuddling up to me and taking a nap on my leg.”
DDuke, a Belgian Malinois trained in explosive detection and patrol, shares the same lineage as another MWD at Hill, SSoto.
“DDuke continues to amaze me the more time we spend together. He is still a puppy trying to carve out his personality, and he is constantly learning every day. I’m glad that DDuke is my partner while deployed and have each other’s back,” Duarte said. l
Crimson Cliffs 74-63, thanks in large part to Charlie Smith’s game-high 20 points. He also shared the team lead in rebounds with six and also hit four three-pointers. Bryson Heath scored 18 points and had four rebounds and six assists, while Emerson Geilman had 17 points and six boards.
Bountiful fell to Riverton on Dec. 6 by the count of 70-60. Heath was the leading scorer for the Redhawks with 19 points. He also had four rebounds and five steals. Lincoln Smith and Charlie Smith had 14 points and 12 points, respectively. The following day, however, Bountiful got back on the winning track with a 61-52 victory over Dixie. Geilman was the top scorers this time, totaling 18 points. He also added six rebounds, three assists and three steals. Lincoln Smith and Bryson Heath each scored 11 points.
The Redhawks next host Springville on Friday.
Viewmont
The 2-3 Vikings fell twice last week, first to Weber and then to Layton Christian.
Viewmont’s game with Weber on Dec. 6 started off poorly, as the Vikings trailed 20-10 after one quarter. Viewmont fought back but lost 59-54. The loss spoiled a strong effort from Drez Jensen, who had 25 points, six rebounds, four assists and three steals. Cache Tuia had 15 points of his own, including four three-pointers.
Viewmont then lost to Layton Christian 67-55 on Dec. 7. Jensen again had a good game, pouring in 21 points (hitting five three-pointers). Lloyd Williamson scored 11 points, and Carson Tovey added 10 points, four rebounds and four assists.
The Vikings can improve its record and get to .500 on Thursday with a game at Fremont.
Woods Cross
The Wildcats have experienced both ends of the spectrum in their last two outings.
Woods Cross couldn’t keep up with defending Class 5A champion Olympus on Dec. 5, losing in a 70-38 rout. The Wildcats actually led 19-14 after one quarter but saw Olympus go on a 33-7 run in quarters two and three. Hunter Jackson paced the Wildcats with 11 points.
On Tuesday, Woods Cross destroyed Granger 81-39 to improve to 2-3. The Wildcats used a big 30-11 second quarter to build on a 17-12 lead and pull away. The Wildcats allowed just two points in the final quarter. Jackson was the game’s top scorer, tallying 28 points on the day. Three players –Bryson Watson, Nate Smith and Madden Johnsen – each had 11 points.
On Thursday, Woods Cross faced Syracuse at home. After that home game, the Wildcats host Brighton on Friday and then travel to Skyline on Saturday to tangle with the Eagles. l
final quarter, which ultimately ended up being the difference in the game.
“We played a much better game than we did the previous two games,” said head coach David Simon. “We are getting better and learning what our new roles are as a team.”
Grace MacArthur’s 17 points and five boards led Woods Cross with Ili Crockett and Adia Cook (eight points), Kiyomi Tauataina (seven) and Kaylee Abell (three) also scoring in the win.
Against Skyline Dec. 5, the Wildcats won 57-31, turning a fivepoint lead at halftime into a rout with a 31-point second half.
Abell and Tauataina combined for 25 points with Lucy Thompson adding nine points, MacArthur, Crockett and Cook seven and Riley Jacobs two.
The Wildcats also beat Farmington 47-37 Dec. 6 behind 14 points from Cook and nine each from Tauataina and MacArthur. Also contributing offensively in the win were Crockett (five points), Abell and Sophia Burden (three) and Thompson and Mary Gilbert (two).
The Wildcats are now 3-2 this season.
Davis
Davis defeated Mountain View 54-31 Dec. 3, starting strong and going up 30-10 by halftime. The Darts finished off the win with a 24-point second half effort.
“This is the best game we have played this season,” said new head coach Nicole Waddoups. “We finally were able to play with some intensity for four quarters and play as a team.”
T’Maea Eteuati led the scoring with 18 points while also grabbing six rebounds. Kate Willard also had
six boards along with four points. Others scoring were Emy Richards (seven points), Chloe Peery and Emma Loveland (six), Sydney Plummer (five), Aubrey Simons (three), Kiara Zwonitzer, Maki West and Lydia Tarbet (two) and Cambell Christensen (one).
Against Draper APA Dec. 5, Davis lost 41-39. The Darts had a four-point edge at halftime but went down three heading into the fourth quarter and couldn’t pull out the win despite 22 points from Eteuati. Loveland had six points with Simons and Peery (three), Tarbet and Richards (two) and Plummer (one) also scoring in the loss.
Davis is 2-2 early on in the season.
Farmington
Farmington lost to Green Canyon 48-42 Dec. 4. After an even first quarter, the Wolves went up nine by halftime and increased the lead to double figures heading into the fourth. The Phoenix squad outscored Green Canyon 17 to 11 over the final eight minutes but it wasn’t enough in the loss.
Katie Myers scored 10 points to lead the team while Emilie Figlioli (nine points), Morgan Rogers (eight), Brekyln Archibald (five), Olive Wayland and Ellie Schow (four) and Brooklyn Symes (two) also helped on offense.
In its 10-point loss to Woods Cross Dec. 6, Farmington struggled offensively in the second and fourth quarters which ultimately proved to be the difference in the game.
Rogers led the Phoenix squad with 12 points with Wayland (seven), Figlioli (six), Archibald (five), Myers (four) and Symes (three) also scoring.
The Phoenix team fell to 3-2 this season. l

Navigating Grief and the Holidays
By Kathie Supiano, PhD, LCSW
The holiday season is nearly upon us. This is the time of year when grieving people often feel dread and sorrow about the very events and traditions that formerly brought happiness.
As every grieving person handles loss in their own way, each one of us observes holidays in our own way in time of bereavement. There simply is no one right way to experience the holidays. Some nd meaning in following cherished traditions, and others bene t from avoiding traditions because their associations are now tinged with loss. Some people nd great comfort in being with other people, others prefer solitude to camaraderie. For all of us, how we gather is as important as gathering at all.
Plan ahead for the holidays: The rst step in planning is to listen to yourself….what will help you most at this time? You may have strong memories and powerful feelings. Accept this as normal, but prepare for it. Anticipate the pleasures and the stresses of events, and select those you want to participate in. If you expect to be lonely, arrange supportive companionship. If you can’t bear the thought of connecting with the entire extended family, let the family know of your needs. Be creative and accept support by using distance technology.
Accommodate your plans to your new limits: Most grieving people have signi cantly lowered physical stamina and emotional reserve. Perhaps you can’t get every decoration out this year. Accept these limits as temporary, and good enough for this year. Choose to put your energy into the things that matter most to you. Accept that the holidays will be di erent this year: The holidays are often lled with unrealistic expectations that may overwhelm you. You may need to revisit your goals and nd a balance between continuity and change. Many people nd a special comfort in establishing a new holiday tradition that honors the memory of the person who died.
Recognize that other family members or friends may have struggles, too: Look for opportunities to discuss your feelings and wishes with others who may also be grieving for your family member. Try to respect their choices, if they are di erent from yours. You all may need to make compromises.
If the holidays have always been hard for you: Use this transition in your life to try something completely new…an untraditional-tradition. Perhaps you have never taken the occasion create a new experience on your own. As challenging as loss can be, it can bring momentum to grow and to try something new.
For all of us, whether the holidays are a time of personal signi cance or not, it can be a season in which we re ect on what we do cherish as we journey through grief.

Centerville City has already picked up 620 pounds of glass since installing bins
CENTERVILLE—A glass recycling program by the city is the result of a Viewmont High School student’s passion for the environment.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
Anew glass recycling program that was the result of a Viewmont High School student’s passion for saving the environment has already shown great promise. Allie Phelps brought the suggestion for a glass recycling bin to the Centerville City Council and after some deliberation they approved it. Now there are bins at Centerville Community Park where residents can drop off their glass.
“I’ve always been aware of the earth,” said Phelps. “My mom and I would collect the neighborhood glass and take it to a drop off in Salt Lake City. We’d take this little bucket that would fill up fast. I wondered why Centerville didn’t have a glass drop off.”
The Mayor and Public Works Department held a small celebration Dec. 3 and encouraged people to put some glass in the bins.
“We already picked up 620 pounds on Nov. 27,” said Public Works Director, Mike Carlson. “We got more out the next day.”
The bins were put in the first of November, he said. “It took a little bit to catch on but we came up today and one can was full and another can was half full. We’re going to look at adding four more or a metal dumpster.”
Carlson gave some numbers on what has been accomplished since November 2024:
Last month – 620 pounds
The city’s recycling efforts have conserved 0.09 metric tons of CO2. That is the equivalent to conserving the CO2 emissions from any one of the following:
11,858.62 smartphones charged.
0.01 home’s energy use for 1 year.
101.65 pounds of coal burned.
10.51 gallons of gas consumed, 227.39 miles driven.
“Come and check this out,” said Carlson. “It’s amazing. It’s neat to see youth interact with the city. It was a good observation in the community.”
“It was initiated by an involved youth member,” said Mayor Clark Wilkinson. “If you think one person can’t make a difference – it does make a difference.” l

Centerville-Farmington Rotary Club partners with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library
BOUNTIFUL—Government Employees Health Association (G.E.H.A) makes a $15,000 donation to support a literacy program in the community.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@thecityjournals.com
The Centerville-Farmington Rotary Club got a boost to their literacy program on Tuesday as the G.E.H.A (Government Employees Health Association) presented a $15,000 check to the Club as part of a partnership with the Dollywood Foundation, home of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The grant is an effort to support early childhood literacy by delivering monthly educational books to children aged 0-5.
“I am pleased to announce the partnership between G.E.H.A, Ogden Clinic and the Centerville-Farmington Rotary Club,” said Dr. Bryce Peterson, Rotary Community Service Chair. “As you know, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library serves children all across America. She’s delivered 250 million books so far since it was founded in the mid 90s.”
Her father was illiterate and she really has focused on this as a program to help American children, Peterson said. “One of the focuses of the Rotary Club is literacy, along with clean water and polio eradication so this felt like a very natural partnership. We’re just tickled that G.E.H.A was so willing to come forward with this generous donation.”
Through them the rotary will be able to start offering these books into the Centerville and Farmington area, pretty much immediately, he said. “At least a year and a half earlier than we had originally hoped for. So this is just fantastic.”

Q: Call me crazy, but were the theme songs for “Family Matters” and “Full House” sung by the same person? Are they still working?
A: Hi, crazy. Yes, they were sung by the same person, and he’s more popular than ever.

employees and military communities throughout the United States,” said Alexis Rolloff, Chief Innovation and Strategy Officer at G.E.H.A. “Especially here in the Salt Lake Community. This gift will specifically serve this community where we know there’s a strong presence of federal employees like active military members and military retirees and that’s with the understanding that these military families often must move with new assignments.”
These books are investments that families can own, taking with them as they do move and often passing onto other siblings or even new additions to the family, she said. “It’s also important to note that childhood literacy is an important social determinant of health.”
“I had a real interest personally in trying to improve early childhood access to books,” said Peterson. “If a child has access to more books, they’re more likely to succeed in school. Having parents who read to the child

defined by one man: Jesse Frederick.
He might push back against the “one man” idea, since he co-wrote the theme songs for “Family Matters” and “Full House,” as well as fellow TGIF hit “Step By Step,” with longtime writing partner Bennett Salvay.
But Frederick’s voice is the one that rings in people’s heads as they remember those themes. (Frederick and Salvay also wrote the theme for “Perfect Strangers,” but they farmed out the performance to another singer.)
And it continues to ring. Frederick is still getting TV credits today, as those classic theme songs are referenced in such modern shows as “The Masked Singer” (in 2022) and “Only Murders in the Building” (earlier this year).
He’s also getting new work — sort of, anyway. When Netflix rebooted “Full
is just so incredibly helpful.”
The Rotary Club here in Centerville, for decades, has been giving dictionaries to third graders in all elementary schools in the area, he said. “As you might think, kids aren’t using dictionaries as much anymore now that they’re using tablets. So we’ve looked for a new way to try to impact the literacy programs locally as well as our international efforts. This is one that jumped out at me as an opportunity to not try to invent the wheel and instead partner with a group that already has a great delivery system in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.”
Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library has been able to provide the books and shipping to the child each month from their birth to their fifth birthday, Peterson said. “It’s a rotating series of books and always starts with “The Little Engine That Could.” She’s able to do that for $2.60 each month.”
The way the Rotary interfaces is two fold and they’re really two separate efforts, he said. “One is fundraising of course because we don’t accept payment from the families receiving the books and recruiting the families to sign the children up. They both take a lot of effort. We’re trying through a number of different avenues to get those children to sign up.”
“It’s incredibly rewarding work,” said Rolloff. “As a mother myself, it was really encouraging just knowing the impact of reading books. The first book in this program is “The Little Engine That Could.” That is the first book I shared with my children and just the notion that reading can continue to have the power to learn is something that personally is really incredible.”

House” in 2016 as “Fuller House,” they tapped Frederick and Salvay to once again compose music for the show. And, he worked with “The Tonight Show” in 2018 to write and perform a theme song for a parody they did of those old sitcoms. It was called “Play By Play” and featured the stars of that year’s NBA draft.
Q: What’s Penn Badgley doing next after “You”?
A: It’s hard to tell from the tone of your question whether this will be news to you or not: “You” is not quite done yet, and so Badgley hasn’t announced his next project.
It’s been more than a year since the last season of “You” (its fourth) ended, so perhaps you thought it was done. But Badgley, previously best known for his leading role in the CW teen drama “Gossip
Girl,” announced this summer that filming of the fifth and final season of “You” had just wrapped. No release date has been announced yet, but we can probably expect it sometime midway through 2025.
There will almost certainly be some people surprised to hear “You” made it through five seasons. It seemed at first like the kind of high-concept show that’s not designed to last long.
It follows a man named Joe Goldberg (Badgley), who we soon learn is stalking a woman he’s obsessed with. And it gets weirder from there as the audience is asked to identify, to some degree at least, with an obviously bad person as he narrates his obviously bad thoughts.

There are more than 7,000 students who attend Davis Tech this year, said Davis Tech President Darin Brush. “This makes us one of the largest technical colleges in the nation. More than 40 students applied for Student of the Year and six were chosen as Student of the Year of their school.”
With that designation, with that recognition, there are responsibilities that come along with it, he said. “I don’t know If we talked about that with you before – but now you are committed. So Halle and I are already scheming on some work with lawmakers in the next couple of weeks because of her health profession background.

There will be a lot of fun things in store this year, said Brush. “We have confidence in each one of you as a spokesperson for the value of technical education and to represent Davis Technical College. So thank you for your willingness to do so.”

Even if she doesn’t have a new holiday program to offer, Dolly Parton is a traditional part of the season. That speaks to the timelessness and popularity of the country music icon’s projects, and it will again as NBC repeats her 2022 movie “Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas,” Thursday, Dec. 26. It adapts a premise from other seasonal tales to her persona, with Parton — who recently released the album “Smoky Mountain DNA: Family, Faith & Fables” — playing herself as she prepares to stage a holiday TV special at her theme park, Dollywood. Three wise men suddenly appear before her, intent on restoring her spirit by guiding her back through milestones of her past.
Jimmy Fallon (“The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”), Willie Nelson (“On the Road Again”), daughter and father Miley Cyrus (“Flowers”) and Billy Ray Cyrus (“Achy Breaky Heart”) and Parton’s sisters Cassie and Rachel (“Nine to Five”) also appear as themselves in the film. Tom Everett Scott (“That Thing You Do!,” 1996) and “Saturday Night Live” alum Ana Gasteyer are featured as well.
Parton’s holiday movie relationship with NBC dates back to “Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors” (2015), in which she narrated the story of her own Tennessee upbringing with Jennifer Nettles (“The Righteous Gemstones”) and Rick Schroder (“NYPD Blue”) playing her parents. That picture’s ratings success led to the following year’s sequel, “Dolly Parton’s Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love,” and both movies have had several NBC repeats in holiday seasons since.
