WOODS CROSS HOSTS ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY CELEBRATION

All those fun summer activities in the park begin on Memorial Day in Wood Cross. “Woods Cross City Memorial Celebration has a rich history within the community,” said LaCee Bartholomew, Community Services Coordinator. “It began as a pancake breakfast and has grown into an entire community celebration with a community 5K, patriotic program and pancake breakfast.”

Bright and early on Monday, May 27, the five-kilometer (5K) run starts at 7 a.m. at Hogan Park,750 W. 1500 South. This activity will be largely completed before the Flag Ceremony provided by the Wood Cross Police Department and South Davis Metro Fire begins. The patriotic program will also include a speaker from Wood Cross. The crowds will grow bigger as the Memorial Day breakfast kicks off at 9 a.m. with plenty of food and fun. A suggested donation of $2, preferably cash, is accepted.

Memorial Day began shortly after the Civil War and was originally called Decoration Day, a day set apart for decorating the fallen soldiers’ graves with flowers. Unlike Veterans Day which celebrates all soldiers who have served, Memorial Day honors those who gave the ultimate sacrifice of their lives during war. Over the centuries, it has become common to also decorate the graves of friends and relatives to honor and remember

them regardless of service in the military.

The Memorial Day celebration is the first of a summer full of recreational activities in parks and buildings around Wood Cross. The first session begins on June 3, in Mills Park, including classes in cooking, sports, arts and crafts, music and even a self-defense class (RAD). In the following weeks more sessions and other classes are added such as pickleball, biz kids, basketball, Lego, yoga, track and field, police academy and Spanish learning. Registration for these classes is now open on the city website with varying fees.

Free summer recreation activities are also offered throughout the summer as part of the Summer Literacy program. On four Fridays in June and July, summer reading will combine with learning and fun at Hogan and Mills Park. The Loveland Living Planet aquarium, for example, will be at Hogan Park on June 21 to educate and entertain. Everyone goes home with a book at each of these events. The last literacy event on July 19, highlights the importance of play and playgrounds. A perfect reason to get to the parks this summer beginning on Memorial Day at Hogan Park.

Registering for the Memorial Day races can be done at woodcross.com. This year there is the option to purchase a race day T-shirt for those who register online.

Hope Clinic heals patients and those who serve

An army of volunteers donate time and resources to the Hope Clinic in Midvale to allow many underserved people to access quality healthcare. Kjung Kim of North Salt Lake volunteers at the clinic once a week joining the 225 other volunteers of this service-oriented clinic. She has a degree in public health and mostly acts as a receptionist and Spanish Interpreter for a block of time on Tuesdays. She highly recommends helping, saying that the clinic is an energetic environment that has room for many kinds of helpers.

“It is an amazing place that heals patients and volunteers,” said Jane Powers, who helped open the clinic back in 2010.

Powers speaks of a large demographic served at the Hope Clinic that doesn’t get enough hours at work, lacks documentation, or has other social, economic or cultural barriers. She helps pair these needy populations with a family of volunteers including teachers, nurses, lab techs, accountants and donors. Many patients served at the clinic return as volunteers possibly to help organize donated supplies, interpret for other families, or just to help keep the clinic clean. Language interpreters are also often recruited from BYU who learned to speak a variety of languages on missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. About 60% of patients seen at the clinic speak Spanish, but many others from Africa, Ukraine, or the Middle East need various interpreters. Preferably human, but sometimes electronic language translators.

On Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the clinic sees patients non-stop from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with no breaks.

Walk-ins are welcomed on these days who come to the clinic at 65 East 6850 South in Midvale. Sometimes, the intake just directs patients to places they can already access the health care they need. Refugees, for example, are given six months of Medicaid by the government to ease their transition. Specialty clinics are offered in the afternoons including gynecology, pediatrics, neurology and even minor surgeries. Often the clinic sees up to 120-140 patients during a single day. The Hope Clinic continued to operate during the COVID pandemic moving to the parking lot to safely serve the community. Currently, they use their 1,600-square-foot facility to serve their ever-growing numbers of working poor, immigrants and refugees. Many of the patients of the clinic suffer from diabetes which is caused in part by the overly-processed, insulin-spiking food that is so prevalent in the states. Large groups of Pacific Islanders are particularly prone to diabetes and can receive help at the clinic.

Those in need of free medical care or a meaningful volunteer position are invited to visit the Utah Hope Clinic website. Information on who can get care, hours of operation, and times of the multitude of specialty clinics can be found. Additionally, there is information on volunteering. The clinic is funded by private donors. The website allows online donations and suggests other ways to contribute to the clinic such as donating medical supplies left from when a loved one passes or providing extra food, clothing and other basic supplies to help these challenged families. The present burgeoning inflation is problematic to these already vulnerable pop-

ulations, Powers said. “Hope is a place of healing where we see miracles happen. A very spiritual place where people of diverse religious backgrounds can feel unity. Hope Clinic acts like a co-op garden, except the plants are people.” l

WLI celebrates 10 years of creating gender diversity in the state’s business and political sectors

Five years ago, the Ken Garff Automotive Group had a 112% turnover rate for women on its sales team. It was a warning signal that the company’s culture, environment and leadership weren’t as healthy as they should have been. Joe Barnard, vice president of human resources at Ken Garff, reached out to Pat Jones, CEO of the Women’s Leadership Institute, to create solutions that would empower both men and women.

“Listening to Pat and listening to our employees caused us to think differently about the employee experience. For the first time in 90 years, we rolled out a fully paid maternity and parental leave program, that is not common in the industry,” Barnard said. “There were nearly 700 promotions last year and it’s a record for us. More importantly, there was a record number of females promoted in our company with a 300% increase.”

Barnard shared his story during an event celebrating WLI’s 10th anniversary. The organization is focused on promoting women into leadership positions throughout all industries in the state, including the political realm.

WLI’s ElevateHER Challenge encourages organizations to increase the retention rate of women, invite women to serve on boards and commissions, close the gender pay gap, create leadership programs for women and support women in their run for political office.

“Through the support of Utah’s key business leaders, we are making headway in changing Utah’s business culture to advance women’s leadership,” Jones said. “We’re proactive and positive in our approach and tone. We don’t like to blame or shame men. That is not what works and it

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

shouldn’t work, and it isn’t working. We believe that men are allies and advocates of women.”

In 2015, Zions Bank CEO Scott Anderson approached Jones with his concerns about the status of women in the workforce. He said although the state was doing well economically, there was a perception that Utah wasn’t the best place for women in the workplace. With Jones’ background in both business and politics, Anderson felt she was the best person to lead the new WLI initiative.

Although she was ready to retire, Jones accepted the challenge and set out to build a foundation for women that included a political and career leadership series, a rising leader program, the ElevateHER challenge

and a golf program to introduce women to the game, giving them opportunities to network.

“The principles that Pat teaches pay dividends,” Anderson said. “They’re economically sound, they’re sustainable, and they create value for employees, for customers, for communities and for shareholders. And so as we celebrate this 10-year milestone, I want to thank Pat and honor her for what she has accomplished. She has truly started this process of elevating the stature and status of women in our communities. She has shown that women leaders are everywhere in our communities and that they can do anything they want to do.”

Stacy Bernal is a graduate of the WLI political development series. She was

elected to the Ogden School Board in 2023 and is currently running for office in Utah State Senate District 3.

“When I took the political development series in 2019, I didn’t have intentions of running. I just wanted to learn more about local politics,” Bernal said. “When I won the [school board] election, it made us an all-female body. Being connected with the Women’s Leadership Institute in my professional work, and now campaigning again, it’s just great to have the support of women.”

Since its inception, more than 330 companies have committed to the ElevateHER Challenge and nearly 1,000 graduates are part of WLI’s alumni network. The organization has built partnerships with Utah Tech University, ShePlace SheMoney and Chambers of Commerce statewide.

For its second decade, WLI plans to extend programs, increase data collection and offer an ElevateHER Challenge certification for companies. It remains the exclusive charity partner for the LPGA Epson Tour and will continue to present its A. Scott Anderson Ally Award, which includes Ken Garff as its second honoree.

“We’re more deliberate about our structure and about our culture,” Barnard said. “More than 80% of primary buying decisions are made or heavily influenced by women. They’re smart, they’re shrewd and they’re talented. Most importantly, they’re fantastic listeners. They are a perfect fit for our company, as we’ve become a better fit for them. Our story isn’t fully written but make no mistake it is a success story, in large part, due to the ElevateHER Challenge and the amazing Pat Jones.” l

#3 Bountiful remains undefeated in Region 5 play

By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

T

hird-ranked Bountiful swept Bonneville and defeated Viewmont in four sets this week to stay undefeated through 11 Region 5 matches. Farmington pulled out a tight five-set match against Davis before defeating Fremont in four sets to win both of its Region 1 matches. Viewmont and Woods Cross went 3-4 this week while Davis was winless in both of its region games.

Bountiful

The Redhawks beat Bonneville 2512, 25-7, 25-13 April 23 behind 10 kills from Landon Chism and nine from Aidan Sanford. Kainoa Evans served up five of the team’s 13 aces and ran the offense, recording 28 assists. Defensively, Connor Burleson had 11 digs while Vicente Perez added nine from the back line.

Against Viewmont April 25, the Redhawks won 26-24, 25-21, 22-25, 25-23.

At the Sky View Invitational April 2627, Bountiful defeated Sky View 25-16, 25-17, 24-26, 25-13 Park City 25-14, 2516, 25-23, and Farmington 25-11, 25-15 while losing to Copper Hills 19-25, 21-25 and Orem 27-29, 22-25.

The Redhawks are now 18-6 overall this season and 11-0 in Region 5 play.

Farmington

Farmington beat Davis 25-18, 19-25, 20-25, 25-18, 13-15 April 23. Dyland Borland put away 19 kills to lead the Darts while Jake Connell had 17. Connell completed a double-double, adding 16 digs. Brayden Peck ran the offense with 34 assists while Connell and Pearce Eliason both recorded two aces each from the serving line. Defensively, Tavin Fulton led with 21 digs while Tucker Blackham added 11 and Ashton Scholz and Borland had eight and five blocks at the net, respectively.

“We emerged victorious, showcasing a stellar defensive performance and unwavering attacking consistency,” said head coach Fermin Soriano Bautista. “Our solid defense, anchored by a disciplined backline and led by a standout libero, thwarted their offensive attempts. Their cohesive attacking game kept the pressure on throughout the match. Despite fierce competition, our resilience and focus proved decisive, securing a hard-fought win and reaffirming their status as a dominant force in boys volleyball.”

Against Fremont April 25, the Phoenix squad won 25-11, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22. Borland and Scholz had nine kills each with Connell adding eight. Eliason had four aces while Connell and Peck combined for six more and Peck recorded 20 assists in running the offense. On the defensive side, Peck’s 11 digs made another double-double for the sophomore setter this week while sophomore setter Charlie Evans also had 12 assists. Fulton led Farmington defensively with 14 digs.

The Phoenix team is now 11-6 overall and 6-1 in Region 1 play.

Viewmont

Viewmont defeated Northridge 25-17,

25-14, 25-15 April 23.

“The match was great for our players,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “Everyone contributed with playing in the match. Northridge started with strong play and forced us to tighten up our passing and defense. Once we did that, I feel we ran the offense well. As the match went on, both teams showed some scrappy defense and good plays.”

In the Vikings’ four-set loss to Bountiful April 25, Lippa described the atmosphere as “electric.” “The energy in the gym was awesome with impressive attacks, big blocks, and stellar defense by both teams,” he said. “The rallies were strong with the level of play truly representing the teams currently standing at first and second in the region. Coach Chism and I both agreed that the fans were given a real treat to watch. She said, ‘I love that for fans to see, and maybe we will get more athletes to take a chance and give something new a try!’”

At the Spanish Fork Tournament April 26-27, Viewmont defeated Skyline 2-0 and Spanish Fork 3-0 while losing to Timpanogos 3-2, Cedar Valley 2-1, and Alta 3-0.

“We had tremendous competition this weekend which was excellent,” Lippa said. “I am proud of some of our younger players stepping up to fill in key roles due to injury and Prom. I felt we grew this weekend through many different learning experiences. I have been pleased with our defense, and after watching some film from the weekend, I see many skills I want us to focus on as we gear up for the end of the regular season moving into the postseason.”

The Vikings are now 14-10 this season with a 9-2 showing in Region 5.

Davis

In Davis’ five-set loss to Farmington April 23, Chase Valentine had a double-double with 16 kills and 19 digs. Jackson Kuma added 10 kills for the offense and Luke McKnight recorded 19 digs on the back line.

Against Syracuse April 25, the Darts lost 15-25, 20-25, 25-19, 25-20, 15-13.

Valentine led Davis with another double-double of 14 kills and 25 digs while McKnight also put away 13 kills and had 25 digs. Jack Bennet ran the offense with 19 assists and was tops defensively with 29 digs.

The Darts fell to 11-4 this season and 4-2 in Region 1.

Woods Cross Woods Cross lost in five sets to Clearfield 18-25, 25-22, 25-17, 14-15, 10-15 April 23.

RJ Violette was the player of the match, according to head coach Josey Hilton, with his “intensity and aggressiveness” that resulted in 10 kills – hitting a .0471 – and three blocks. She also noted Khang Tran’s 2.4 passing rating while leading the team in kills with 18.

“Headed into the second half of the season, we are seeing huge improvements from both teams, so it is like playing a whole new team again,” Hilton said. “Clearfield came out aggressive and we struggled in the first set finding our timing and rhythm. In the second set, we are able to gain some momentum, winning the set and then carrying it over to the third set where RJ had a huge contribution. We weren’t able to sustain the momentum and lost our aggressiveness in the fourth set. Playing a team like Clearfield, in their gym, momentum and staying aggressiveness on both defense and offense are key. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to sustain that and made some mental, defensive, and hitting errors that ended up costing us the game.”

In the junior varsity match against the Falcons, the Wildcats won 25-17, 25-16, 9-15, 15-12. “Eli Bodell was the difference maker for us,” Hilton said. “He played one of his most well-rounded matches of the season so far. His net play was huge for us today with a number of kills on offense and clutch monster blocks on defense. He then rounded out his play with several much-needed consistent serves.”

Woods Cross won the sophomore match against Clearfield 26-24, 19-25, 1511. “Tanner Woffinden was the player of

the match for knowing how to have fun whether we win or lose,” Hilton said. “He had never played as an outside hitter before and he definitely delivered a great performance. This goes to show how versatile he is as an athlete. Although he made mistakes just like every player, he did not let this affect him and instead, smiled through all of them. Tanner just started playing volleyball and he’s developing to be the athlete who thinks before making a play with intention. He is a coachable player and is always receptive to feedback.”

Against Bonneville April 25, the Wildcats swept the Lakers 25-7, 25-23, 25-18.

“We started strong and aggressive and it showed with the result of the first set,” said Hilton. “We tried some different lineups throughout the rest of the match, working on some different defensive and offensive strategies. This was definitely a collective team effort with everyone doing their job and staying mindful of their role and what they needed to accomplish in order to get the job done.”

John Lockwood Smoot had a 2.5 passer rating, “helping us to stay in system and allowing our settings to do their job,” according to Hilton. Clayton Schmitt ran the offense with 18 assists while Cole Howard and Tran recorded eight kills each and Hayden Poulton added seven. Tran and Dallin Olsen also teamed up for 31 digs with RJ Violette also showing up defensively with three blocks at the net.

In the JV match with Bonneville, Woods Cross won 25-20, 25-12, 11-15, 15-8.

“Olsen played high-level volleyball at the libero position,” Hilton said. “His defensive presence was felt on the court, making several key plays when we needed him. His serve-receive play was also vital to our success. This was probably his most consistent match at libero since the season started. He could feel it, and the smile on his face showed he knew he was playing well.”

The sophomore team defeated the Lakers 25-21, 17-25, 15-13. “Sean Vanous is the player of the match for being brave and tackling new challenges like a champ,” Hilton said. “Sean had never played as a front-row player and he definitely delivered both offensively and defensively. Sean had a couple of impressive swings and made a big impact despite only playing as an outside hitter for one set. His attacks definitely energized the whole team which was a huge contributor in taking the first set. We’re excited to see Sean excel in volleyball and see him grow as an all-around player.”

Hilton also credited Bentley Murdock for “being a leader in the back row” and Sam Bahr for “his fighting spirit and high efficiency.”

At the Ogden Tournament April 2627, the Wildcats defeated Ogden 2-0 and Granger 3-0 while losing to Murray 2-0, Logan 2-0 and Ogden 3-0.

Woods Cross is 10-14 this season and 8-3 in Region 5. l

Kevin Bacon returns to Utah for 40th anniversary of ‘Footloose’

Utah was never supposed to be the location where “Footloose” was filmed, and the lead in the movie was at one time offered to someone else. But things changed, and fortunately for all of us then and now, the Beehive State was chosen for the locale, and a somewhat unknown actor named Kevin Bacon was chosen for the lead.

Those realities of the summer of 1983, when the iconic movie was filmed in Utah County and released the following year, came together last Saturday. Bacon came to Payson High School, where the majority of the film was shot, thanks to a concerted effort by students and faculty leaders who had been begging him to return for more than two years. It marked both the 40th anniversary of the movie’s release and the school’s spring prom, even as a new Payson High is being built right next door and the current school will be demolished next year. The “#BacontoPayson” campaign finally enticed Bacon to come to Utah from Georgia, where he’s been filming a new movie, thanks to hundreds of student and community volunteers willing to help his charity, SixDegrees.org, with it’s BKxKB program—community kits for youth in need.

“When I first heard about #BacontoPayson, I was like, ‘Wow, this is crazy,’” he said, addressing the crowd in the PHS football stadium. “But you were all just tireless, unrelenting in your desire to have me return, and you talked me into it.”

t.haraldsen@mycityjournals.com

Volunteers, assisted by the actor, worked to assemble 5,000 resource kits that included more 121,000 items, most of them donated by local businesses, to help four local nonprofits. The kit contents, which included some food items, sanitary supplies, journals and pens among other things, were valued at over $865,000.

Bacon’s organization has set a goal to provide 40,000 kits nationwide this year, in celebration of the movie’s 40th anniversary. Saturday’s effort in Payson knocked out 12.5% of those in one day.

The actor doesn’t often attend the kit building events, but Stacy Huston, the ex-

ecutive director of SixDegrees.org, said Saturday was the largest activation of kits the nonprofit has done in its 17-year history, and she said he was amazed at the turnout.

For his part, Bacon kept the focus on the students, not the hoards of media types who had gathered to cover the event. He did no one-on-one interviews with media, but instead interacted with the students making those kits.

“I think it’s great to see that kind of commitment to anything,” he said. “I also think it’s amazing the power that this movie has had to bring people together,

by showing compassion. That’s what all of you have shown here by turning what could be just a movie star coming back to get a pat on the back into something really positive. Thank you so much, and especially for the commitment to giving back to your community.”

After the kits had been assembled, Bacon joined student body officers in touring the school, not much of which has changed in 40 years. His locker is still there—still maintained as a shrine of sorts to the movie. It will be moved to the new school once it’s completed.

So what about the planned location and the considered star lead actor? Well, producer Herbert Ross thought they would just shoot some exteriors in Utah—the mountains, the valley, even Lehi Roller Mills, then do the rest on soundstages in Hollywood. But once they scouted the location, the film company realized they had everything they needed right here in Utah—great locales, experienced film crews and even extras. (Yes, this reporter was one—in the library scene with Bacon and Chris Penn.)

And the actor they had considered—a guy named Tom Cruise, who had a conflict with a film he was committed to called “Risky Business.”

Let’s face it, Ren McCormack was meant to be played by Kevin Bacon. Hollywood got it right! Let’s dance! l

Navigating life

as an athlete after graduation

By Kiana Fonua Williams | k.williams@davisjournal.com

Graduating from high school marks a significant milestone in every young athlete’s journey. For many, it’s a time filled with excitement and anticipation as they prepare to transition from the familiar routines of high school to the challenges and opportunities of college life. We explore the various ways in which life changes for athletes after graduation, particularly as they make the leap from high school sports to collegiate athletics.

From local hero to college rookie, the shift in dynamics from being a standout athlete in high school to starting anew as a freshman in college is no easy task. Making the adjustment to higher levels of competition and greater expectations from coaches and teammates. Navigating the recruiting process and choosing the right college program that aligns with academic and athletic goals. Finding the balance of education and sports is extremely important to find for success the first year.

Balancing academics and athletics are of extreme importance of time management and prioritization in juggling academic responsibilities and athletic commitments, adjusting to the academic rigor of college coursework while maintaining performance on the field or court. Also seeking academic support services and resources offered by colleges to ensure success both in academics and athletics.

Independence and responsibility are a newfound freedom that comes with living away from home on a college campus, while taking on greater responsibility for personal well-being, including nutrition, fitness, and overall health. Students must learn to advocate for themself and seek support when facing challenges or adver-

sity, both on and off the field. Building community and camaraderie can help you accomplish success over those challenges. Create bonds with teammates and coaches who become like family in the college athletic community. Embrace diversity and inclusivity within college athletics, fostering a sense of belonging and acceptance. Engage in team-building activities and community service initiatives that strengthen bonds and contribute to personal growth.

Pursue athletic and personal development by setting goals both on and off the field. Embrace each opportunity for skill development, leadership training, and mentorship within college athletics programs. Maintain a growth mindset and resilience in the face of setbacks, knowing that challenges are opportunities for learning and growth. Prepare for life after college by pursuing internships, networking opportunities, and career development programs. Recognize the value of a well-rounded college experience that encompasses academic, athletic and personal growth.

The transition from high school athlete to college presents a host of challenges and opportunities for young athletes. While the journey may be daunting at times, it also offers immense potential for growth, both athletically and personally. By embracing change, seeking support, and staying focused on their goals, student-athletes can navigate this transition with confidence and emerge stronger, more resilient, and ready to excel both in college athletics and beyond. It's an exciting chapter filled with endless possibilities, don’t be afraid to step into your greatness. l

Davis Tech sets students on the pathway to success

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—Graduation is around the corner and some students have already laid out a plan for either work or college but a four year degree at a university isn’t for everyone. Davis Technical College (Davis Tech) has multiple programs that can get students on the path to a career or give them credits that can be transferred to a four year institution.

“It’s very affordable,” said Lance Eastman, Associate Vice President of Training Division at Davis Tech. “It’s $40 a year plus books and supplies for high school students. That’s exceptional. They can start here and in the process change the courses to credit for a public university.”

Snow College accepts Davis Tech’s programs to put those credits toward an associate degree, he said. “They can go there or there is an option to take classes online. It varies by program so check with Snow or other receiving institutions for what they accept.”

There has been a push for public institutions to align their courses with tech courses so students can transfer those credits, said Eastman. “Davis Tech has pathways to Weber State. A student in our diesel heavy duty program can receive up to 28 credits at Weber toward an associate degree in their program. High schoolers can take courses for a low cost and potentially transfer up.”

Eastman said there is a statewide mandate now that technical colleges shift from

clock hours to credit. “That helps align our curriculum so students can transfer the same course at Davis Tech to Weber State and it will have the same name and number so they can give the credits. That way students don’t have to duplicate credits.”

The majority of students who come to Davis Tech are looking to get out and start a career they’re trained in, he said. “Employers are here all the time. It’s a great time to have a trade. Technical skills can lead to many opportunities. It's not a dead end job, they can do very well. This is a starting point.”

The faculty cares about people, said Eastman. “They want them to be successful. There is a certain level of competency they require to get someone trained in that industry. Industries want competent employees.”

The goal is to help people get out and work, he said. “That benefits the whole economy and spurs growth. Society grows in general which helps the economy grow.”

Eastman said the most popular programs at Davis Tech are practical nursing, welding, information technology, cyber security and electrical apprenticeship. “Those are some of our biggest. Plumbing and electrical are our longest programs at four years to complete an apprenticeship but they’re already employed and coming two nights a week to work on their apprenticeship. It’s booming – between both there are close to 600 students.”

Davis Tech also offers a scholarship program, he said. “If a senior enrolls in one of our classes and stays in it they basically have a year scholarship.They can apply for the scholarship and FAFSA and they should realistically be able to finish the program at almost no cost. Even if they don’t get FAFSA we’re going to give them a scholarship for up to a year. We’ve

Start saving for college now with my529 plan

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

College is expensive. Most parents are trying to figure out how they’re going to pay for it after their child leaves high school. A my529 savings plan could help ease some of that burden. It offers a way for parents to save for their child’s future without being hit with taxes when they draw it out as long as it is used for qualified educational expenses.

“It’s an important piece to a family’s overall financial plan to save for college,” said Richard Ellis, my529 Executive Director and CEO. “By saving at an early age, it teaches children the value of money and that you don’t just get it by osmosis.” Start young with an allowance and talk about what it costs to go to college, he said. “Show them there are options to go to a trade school or get a four year degree. Prepare the path from preschool to high school and beyond and help them understand how to get there, my529 is part of that planning.”

It’s one of only two gold rated plans in the country, said Ellis. “It’s a good investment option. You can decide what you want your risk tolerance to be and adjust it as your child gets older.”

There are no minimum requirements of what has to be put into the account, he said. “It’s whatever works for your family. It’s that much less you have to borrow or get a loan for, that’s why it’s important to start as early as possible to allow for growth and build those funds. The more you put it off the less you’ll have. You should start when they’re a baby.”

Account holders must be 18 or older, Ellis said. “You can open an account online (my529.org) or get a form from the website and mail it in. You’ll need your Social Security number and the beneficiary’s Social Security number too and have an address in the U.S.”

Ellis said the website also has investment options. “You can see the break out and select the investments you want. You can make an initial contribution and then have it come out monthly from your pay (before taxes).”

Friends and family can also contribute, he said. “They can gift it to that account. My family has already gone through the first generation. They’ve all graduated so I rolled it over and changed the beneficiary to my grandson.”

There’s an online form to fill out to change the beneficiary, Ellis said. “It has to go to a family member. It can be a niece or a nephew – there’s a broad definition.”

had a lot of students take advantage of that.” Davis Tech has a little more than 6,000 students a year, said Eastman. “Our parking lot gets fuller by the day. We’ve seen some tremendous growth. We’re grateful for everything we have here at the school.”

Davis Tech’s main campus is located at 550 E. 300 South in Kaysville.l

Ellis said there’s a new option to roll it over into a ROTH. “The limit is $7,000 a year with a $35,000 maximum as long as they have the income to contribute.”

The funds for a my529 account don’t have to be used at a Utah school, he said. “Any eligible institution that qualifies for student aid. It’s not just for four year institutions. It can be a two year college or applied technology centers like Davis Tech. There are a lot of opportunities. College is not for everyone. This is flexible to meet all of those needs.”

Qualified education expenses are more than just tuition, said Ellis. “It can be for fees, books and supplies, room and board, a computer or internet service, etc. There are a lot of expenses. A scholarship doesn’t always cover everything.”

Ellis said my529 has 500,000 accounts. “We have account owners in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It’s amazing to watch it grow. We must have done something right.” Start saving now, he said. “You’ll have more time on your side so that it can grow over the course of 18 years. Even if all you do is invest small amounts – every little bit helps.” For more information about my529 or to open an account go to my529.org. l

College and its alternatives – by the numbers

By Braden Nelsen | Braden.n@mycityjournals.com

UTAH—Many in Gen X, the Millennial generation, and Gen Z were all told in their elementary school years that college was necessary to secure decent employment. It was painted that, if these young people went to college, they would be granted a ticket to the American Dream – steady income, good benefits, their own home with a picket fence, the works. However, reality has proven a different scenario, and many Millennials and Gen Z are finding alternative paths to try and secure their futures. According to data from Forbes, 76% of college graduates held a job in 2021, proving that there is some truth to the guidance to get a degree. However, the average income for those holding a bachelor’s degree hovered around $59,600. While that may sound like a decent income, the numbers behind that total reflect a much more trying state of affairs for college graduates in the 2020s. For starters, let’s take a look at student loan debt.

Student loans in the modern era are in dire need of reform. Predatory, and in many cases, necessary for a degree, student loans thrust thousands of students into a cycle of debt at a very young age,

setting them off into adulthood in a condition all economists say they should avoid.

A report from the Education Data Initiative shared that 64% of students pursuing their bachelor’s have some form of student loan debt and that on average, that debt falls in the neighborhood of $40-$60,000.

Many students, out of necessity, will opt for the lowest allowed monthly payment, but, monthly payments still take a toll. Crunching the numbers gives us a much different look at the income of someone with a bachelor’s degree. In Utah, if someone was to make $59,600 annually, after state and federal taxes, their takehome pay would come to about $1,954 each month. Still, not too shabby, but, diving deeper, the picture gets a little more dire.

Studies show that groceries in Utah will generally set a person back about $260 per month. Many Millennials and Gen Z can’t afford to buy their own house, so, they are likely renting. The data differs, but the general consensus is that rent along the Wasatch Front falls around $1,200 a month, on the low end of things. Add on a monthly utility bill of around $300, and a

miscellaneous fund for medicine, gas, and other expenses of around $200, and the average bachelor's degree holder in Utah is looking at a monthly cost of $1,960.

No wonder so many in these generations feel like they’re barely getting by. Sure, getting a master’s also increases the chance of getting a higher-paying job, but, there’s no guarantee, except the guarantee of more student loan debt. So, what are the alternatives that these generations are exploring? There are a handful, all with their own risks, but two prominent options rise to the top.

In 2021, ECMC research said that 61% of Gen Z polled said they were considering a “skill-based” education, rather than a traditional college degree. This includes things like coding, nursing school, cosmetology/barbering, and trade schools. These industries are constantly in demand, pay well, and offer the opportunity for students to enter the workforce directly. ZipRecruiter shows that as of 2024, trade school graduates earn an average of $67,000 a year, and often, have the opportunity for growth from that point.

The other option, which a skill-based

education can provide, is opening a business for themselves. Forbes shows a majority of both Millennials and Gen Z favor this option over a traditional desk job, and many have gambled it all on the prospect. Small business loans do incur some debt, but, with the right idea, a business owner can immediately begin paying off that debt, as opposed to a full-time student who would be hard-pressed to find a job that fits with their schedule, and pays enough to offset their debt.

It’s impossible to tell what the future holds, but, if current trends continue, who knows? Perhaps future generations will let college and university degrees fall by the wayside as they pursue other options for income. After a time, college may become so inexpensive again that it becomes a possibility once more for the masses, and the tennis match between degrees and certifications will begin again.

Usually, these daily walks cheer me up, but recently, I follow behind her like I’m wearing cement shoes on a muddy beach. Does anyone else feel soul-tired?

I’m the weariest I’ve been since my daughters were newborns when sleeping two hours a night left me moving through life in a haze of dirty Pampers and milksour T-shirts.

But what’s my excuse now? I’m a deflated balloon, bouncing along the floor without the helium needed to float. I’m too weary to yawn, too sluggish to nap.

I guess I’m not alone because author and computer science professor Cal Newport said we’re in the throes of “The Great Exhaustion.”

It’s not about getting more sleep, it’s not about eating more fiber or fewer Hostess Twinkies, it’s a complete burnout because rest is a sign of weakness.

and then flew halfway around the world to catch her boyfriend’s little football game. And here I am, struggling to write a column and make it to my granddaughters’ soccer games.

I sprawl on the couch watching dust accumulate on the end tables, too fatigued to do anything about it. I pray a brisk breeze blows through the house, scattering the dirt back to the floor where it belongs.

I feel a lot of people are in this same engineless boat. It doesn’t help that companies now require employees to return to the office, even though the flexible, at-home schedules have kept thousands of women in the workplace. Even though, for the first time in history, job schedules have helped women feel like work and home are almost manageable.

Our energy is also being drained faster than our bank accounts because we’ve

trained ourselves to be 24/7 content creators. We spend a crapload of time making reels about our trip to the Grand Canyon or a TikTok video about how to raise goats and make goat milk ice cream.

But there’s more! Start a tech company during your free time! Renovate your kitchen and use time-lapse videos to share with the world! Become an Instagram influencer by creating beauty masks using pencil shavings! Document all the moments all the time and share on all the platforms!

With nonstop information from streaming shows, music, podcasts, audiobooks and social media going directly into our big noggins, our brains are tired. Every person in your household (and possibly your pets) is processing information at speeds unheard of just a few years ago. There’s probably smoke coming out of our ears.

It’s a firehose of electronic data. Everything is breaking news. Everything is trying to capture our brief attention. Life is one big clickbait link and we doomscroll like we’ve been enchanted by a wizard to sell our souls for just a little more spilled tea.

The funny thing is, we can turn it off, silence the noise and deactivate the notifications. But our cortisol addiction is out of control.

Are you feeling burnt out? Tell us about it.

Are you feeling fresh? Share your secret with us!

So what do we do?

Jedi has the right idea. Walking outside, breathing fresh air, maybe even chasing a cat up a tree reminds us the small things matter. Quiet rituals are important. “The Great Exhaustion” is a bone-deep weariness but also a reminder we’re not alone as we stumble through life. Maybe in sharing our weariness, we can find a listening ear, a comforting shoulder or a Hostess Twinkie.

Señor Pollo and Comcast Business partner as restaurant expands

hen Jesus Ruiz and his wife, Dulce, opened their first Señor Pollo location in Ogden in 2018, they knew they were onto something special. Ruiz is from Michoacán, a state in Mexico, but was raised in Utah. He introduced his secret family recipe for Sinaloa-style grilled chicken to patrons at his Señor Pollo restaurant and it quickly became a local favorite.

Since 2018, Ruiz has expanded his business to include nine restaurants, with more expected to open this year. Now fully franchised, Señor Pollo will soon open its first location out of the state in New York. He expects his award-winning restaurant to be a national brand soon, offering his firegrilled chicken to even more consumers.

“Our challenge is consistency,” Ruiz said. “The biggest problem is training employees. We expect them to be very friendly to everybody. We’re trying to get all our staff to offer great customer service. One of our main goals is for every customer to leave satisfied and happy.”

As his business grows, Ruiz needs a reliable internet connection, not only to create a good customer experience but to communicate effectively with franchise owners. After having troubles with his previous internet provider, Ruiz turned to Comcast Business and has worked with the company for several years.

plates, tacos, nachos and tamales.

“I was paying too much for internet services, so I shopped around, talked to a Comcast representative, and we went from there,” he said. “They provide internet and phone service. We don’t have problems with our TV services or problems with our point of sale. We have no problem connecting our equipment. They make it easy.”

Comcast Business works with companies of all sizes to create a strong network. As businesses grow, products and

services grow too, including the need for better cybersecurity, unified communications, reliable connectivity and IT assistance.

Because each organization is different, Comcast Business can design, build, implement and manage a custom solution for each industry. Whether it’s a custom app for a restaurant, for easy ordering and delivery, or a transformative online presence for a unique shopping experience, a Comcast representative can help create the best system.

“Señor Pollo has been using our Comcast Business Internet and Mobility lines, which offer the fastest, reliable network and fiber solutions, for each of their locations,” said Tomas Cid, Comcast sales representative. “Beyond providing internet speeds up to 10 gigs, having our Connection Pro service gives Jesus peace of mind that he will always have data to service his customers.”

When unexpected disruptions happen, Connection Pro helps keep a business internet service seamlessly connected for up to 16 hours with powerful 4G LTE backup, which becomes more critical when businesses grow as Señor Pollo has seen.

“Working with Jesus has been great because on every location that we provide service, we’ve overcome different challenges, such as construction, installation scheduling, and transferring phone numbers from other carriers,” Cid said. “Together, we work out the details so he has the fastest, most reliable internet and mobile service all the time.”l

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison

TV Media

Q: Billy Bob Thornton has a band?

A: He does, and he’d love to talk about it, but not at the same time as his acting. Billy Bob Thornton (“Sling Blade,” 1996; “Monsters Ball,” 2001) is, as you point out, much better known for his screen career. Most know him for his acting, though he also won an Oscar back in 1997 for writing the screenplay of his indie character drama, “Sling Blade.” However, even less known is his other artistic pursuit: roots country music.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Thornton is the vocalist and drummer of The Boxmasters, a country-rock band he started in 2007. They’ve toured extensively over the years and released 14 albums.

In fact, in an interview with the Montreal Gazette in 2009, Thornton said he “never intended to become a movie star, it happened accidentally ... music is what I love.”

That Gazette interview was done to promote a Canadian tour, which proved to be controversial for Thornton and The Boxmasters. In another interview — a nationally broadcast appearance on CBC Radio — Thornton became what could politely be called “touchy” with the interviewer, and at one point, suggested that Canadian audiences were inferior to American ones. The band received a lot of boos for the rest of their Canadian dates.

Thornton explained his comments by saying he was frustrated at being asked about his film career in the interview when he explicitly told the producers he would only talk about his music.

Q: What’s Jim Rash been “Dean”ing since “Community”?

A: I see what you did there.

Dean Pelton, Jim Rash’s character on NBC’s cultishly beloved sitcom “Community,” had a recurring joke where he made a lot of puns out of the word “dean” — at one point he says being dean of the school is his “whole i-DEANtity.”

It’s by far Rash’s most famous role, but he’s been quite busy in the years since the show’s 2015 finale.

This includes developing a whole new i-DEAN-tity (sorry) as a voice actor. He’s

starred as The Marquess of Queensbury in the bizarro “Mike Tyson Mysteries,” and he took on a recurring role as Mayor Dave in HBO Max’s “Scooby-Doo” spinoff series, “Velma,” last year. He also voiced multiple characters on Disney XD’s late-2010s reboot of “DuckTales,” which reunited Rash with his “Community” co-star Danny Pudi (who played Abed).

If you’re hoping to actually see Rash on screen, he had a recurring role on the fifth season of ABC’s “American Housewife,” and had another on the short-lived 2017 Netflix sitcom “Girlboss.”
