Viewmont football coach and teacher named Davis School District Teacher of the Year

BOUNTIFUL—Viewmont High School head football coach and teacher

Andru Jones is always looking to help others succeed – now he is the one in the spotlight. Jones was named Davis School District Teacher of the Year and was honored at a surprise assembly on Wednesday. He was also presented with the keys to a new car from Young Kia that he can drive for a year.

“This is our most prestigious award in the district,” said Davis School District Assistant Superintendent Dr. Logan Toone. “Mr. Jones is a rock star among teachers. Thank you for all that you do for students.”

“I spent 17 years of my life in this space (Viewmont),” said Davis School District Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford. “It doesn’t surprise me that two years in a row they would choose a teacher at Viewmont. Give another round of applause for your teacher because he cares about you and loves you.”

Mr. Jones is a special man, Linford said. “I’ve worked with head coaches that have a conversation with you while holding your mask. He’s not like that. He’s got a great mind for strategy but he’s a humble, sweet life long learner.”

“I first met Andru when I was coaching at Northridge High,” said Viewmont Principal Travis Lund. “He was an athlete there. The kid had some health issues but

FARMINGTON—TikTok star JT Laybourne was born in 1988 with a heart defect called subaortic stenosis and had open heart surgery when he was 3 years old. Against the odds, Laybourne went more than 30 years without a problem until 2020 when he was told he would need surgery again.

The Farmington native’s social media platform focused on uplifting, positive content and after his experience, he added heart health awareness in the hope of saving lives. Last week, Laybourne traveled to Irvine, California for the “Patient Experience” where he got to meet the team at Edwards Lifesciences who made his aortic heart valve.

“They made me feel so loved,” said Laybourne. “I got to see behind the scenes who was making these devices. It’s something I’ll never forget – the chance to meet everybody who touched the valve that’s in my heart.”

Part of the valve was made in Singapore, he said. “It’s

Unified Sports was just going to start, he said. “He headed that up and taught in the classroom and pulled in peer tutors. It

While high school students can taste the end of the school year and the arrival of summer, spring sports athletes are taking part in the most important part of the season: the playoffs.

The Bountiful boys soccer team has reached the quarterfinals, thanks to a pair of close 3-2 wins in the Class 5A tournament. The Redhawks, 9-5 in the regular season and third-place finishers in Region 5, earned the No. 9 seed. In its first-round game on May 10, the Redhawks had a tougher-than-expected challenge from No. 24 Cyprus. Playing at home, Bountiful outlasted the Region 4 Pirates in overtime. Incidentally, it took a trio of successful penalty kicks for Bountiful to prevail. Thomas Thorne, Elias Pacheco and Cody Forbes converted their kicks in the win.

That victory sent the Redhawks to the second round on the road on May 14 to face Region 6’s third-place team, Brighton. Bountiful was tied with the eighth-seeded Bengals at halftime but outscored them 2-1 in the second half. Forbes had two of Bountiful’s three goals, while Thorne scored the other one. Trent Millard had two assists in the big victory.

Now one of eight teams in the playoffs remaining, the Redhawks have a tough task on Friday at No. 1 seed Wasatch.

Meanwhile, Woods Cross and Viewmont clashed in the first round on May 10. After splitting the two regular-season games, the third matchup went the Wildcats’ way in a mild upset. The Wildcats were seeded 22nd facing the 11th-seed Vikings on Viewmont’s home field.

Like the other two meetings, this one was a close 1-0 decision.

Zach Despain scored off an Adrien Jenet assist in the second half to break a scoreless halftime tie. Brayden Lloyd got the shutout in the goal, his second of the season. For Viewmont, the defeat ended its season with a 7-7 record.

The Wildcats moved on – once again against a familiar foe.

On May 14, Woods Cross took on sixth-seeded Box Elder, a Region 5 opponent it lost to twice during the season, including once just a week earlier, 3-2. In another upset, the Wildcats prevailed, this time in a shootout after regulation

Exchange program bridges cultural differences

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com

DAVIS COUNTY—Years ago, the great poet and activist Maya Angelou wrote, “I note the obvious differences between each sort and type, but we are more alike my friends, than we are unalike.” One extremely valuable way in which Davis County residents can experience both these differences and similarities is being made possible through a cultural exchange program by the nonprofit, Mountain West Cultural Exchange (MWCE).

Many people in the region are familiar with exchange student programs, where students can come from all over the world to experience American culture, and vice versa. The cultural exchange program from MWCE is a similar take, but instead of exchanging ideas of education, Utahns can exchange ideas of culture, specifically from the nation of Japan.

“This experience makes the world a smaller place,” Maresa Manzione, Chair of MWCE, said. “A lot of families in Utah aren’t going to be able to go to Japan in their lifetime – but by bringing these delegates to your home, the experience comes to you.” The cultural exchange program allows for Utah families to host boys and girls from Japan, and learn more about their culture while teaching these visitors about American culture at the same time.

Families can learn about Japanese

traditions and customs, eat Japanese food, and often, receive small gifts of appreciation from their visiting delegate. In turn, these boys and girls from Japan can experience living in Utah, visiting the mountains, the sweeping vistas of Moab, taking in the local cuisine, and finding out a day in the life of an average kid from Utah.

Though the program timeframe is limited, the experiences and friendships can last a lifetime. Bailee Merrill, whose family hosted an exchange delegate, Maiko almost 10 years ago, said they still keep in touch. Merrill was even able to visit Maiko in Tokyo recently, “I’m so grateful my family hosted exchange students when I was younger,” Bailee said. “It helped me look outside my little Utah bubble and know the world is much larger than it appears, and that cultures all over the world have something to teach me. It was incredible to visit Maiko in Japan and have our paths come full circle.”

The summer program applications are now open and runs from July 23 –Aug 7. Application and hosting are both free. Host families are required to have at least one child so the exchange delegate has a friend their age. Applications can be made, and more information, including information about being a teen mentor in the program, can be found by visiting mwce.website, their Facebook page: Mountain West Cultural Exchange, or their Instagram: @mwexchange. l

Contract is awarded for new Bountiful post office

Postmaster General John A. Gronouski announced recently that a contract has been awarded to the Sheldon L. Plack Construction Corp. to build the new post office in Bountiful and lease it to the Post Office Department.

The announcement of the award to the successful bidder advances the new building closer to the construction stage. When fully operational, the Postmaster General said, the additional space and more modern equipment will, in the long run, more than offset the extra cost involved in producing more efficient handling of the mail, in accord with President Johnson’s directive to provide the best possible postal service at the least possible cost.

• Do not hide in people’s garages, homes, vehicles etc. We have had calls of homeowners who have armed themselves after observing people on their property while armed. We have to treat every call with a serious and professional manner and urge those who play this game to remember that many do not know what they’re doing.

OPINION

The opinions stated in these articles are solely those of the authors and not of the Davis Journal.

Enjoy May before it fades away

T his wonderful month will be over soon but there is much to note about May. Mother’s Day is a beautiful day. The day has come and gone but the day emphasizes a day to celebrate mom. I remember my mother who was so dear. I Remember and cherish those beautiful years. We take our pictures and they eventually may fade but the memories and love we have for our mothers will never go away.

During May we celebrate a lot of graduations. Graduation is ongoing as colleges, high schools and even the junior highs, elementaries, and preschools are having days of commencement and moving forward. Moving forward to the next level is always a joyous time. No one wants to stay in school forever. The majority of America’s graduates don’t want to fight at graduation. They achieved a milestone and want to celebrate the occasion in a joyful atmosphere. Sadly, a few are messing up graduation day for others who have worked hard to achieve their goals.

Life appears to be an orchestrated process in which we eventually discover that the very best of things and the very worst of things are not really measures of our success or failure, but tests that are designed to teach certain lessons and instill certain principles. And two of the most important of these principles are faith and fear.

Ultimately, we build a life on these principles; we are the deciding factor in the equation.

If we live a life based primarily on fear, then we relegate ourselves to a self-imposed prison.

Our field of vision narrows and anxiety becomes our universe.

As a result, we may literally become incapable of appreciating the beauty of the sunrise because we have become immobilized by the darkness of the night. But if we choose to live a life based primarily on faith, (faith in ourselves, faith in natural laws, and faith in God) then our field of vision expands

When you are a freshman in high school you can’t imagine that four long years will ever end but they end quickly. It’s like life. When you are 21 your whole life is before you. You can’t imagine the end of life. One day if you are fortunate, you wake up to your retirement years and wonder, “Where did the time go?” Life is like graduation. We graduate from school and eventually we graduate from life. We would never want to spend eternity in high school or college, or maybe we would. It all depends on your perspective and how the school era goes for you. For some it’s a great time and for others they are ready to move on. We won’t spend eternity in this world. We might have a lot of years but eventually we graduate and move on to another level. Hopefully your level will be brighter. No one wants to graduate to a lower level. May is a great month as we will

GLENN MOLETTE AUTHOR

soon celebrate Memorial Day. Recognize and remember the many who gave it all for us to enjoy this great country. So many have paid the ultimate price for our freedom. As we approach Memorial Day, let’s hope and pray that our country can always seek peace and avoid the slaughter of our young men and women. Be good to those you know in active service as they face many daily challenges.

May is a beautiful month because of all the green leaves on the trees and beautiful flowers. Take time to enjoy the landscape of May.

Finally, May is a great month because the May primary is over. I’m sick and tired of political ads. Oh, I realize it’s not over. There is plenty more to come but at least a good number of those running are now done and that will stop a lot of the political ads. My cell phone buzzes for about an hour

Our field of vision

and becomes a powerful influence, with an intensity and a clarity that serve as the foundation for freedom.

Because of this, when we are about to step off into the great abyss of darkness and uncertainty, we can be confident that one of two things will happen.

Either we’ll find stepping stones that have been uniquely prepared for us to find, and they’ll lead us to higher levels, or we’ll find that there are no stepping stones........and we’ll learn to fly!

When we consciously decide on a faith-based philosophy of life, there will be many benefits, but none of them will immunize us from the pain and problems that are a natural, and necessary, part of our existence. Instead, this new philosophy will generate something of even greater significance:

ASK AN EXPERT

After digging out from a long winter, we can finally start working in the garden and yard! The Utah State University Extension Gardener’s Almanac provides a checklist for each month as well as links to tips and further information. Consider these gardening tips for May.

• Plant warm-season vegetables and annual flowers once the threat of the last frost has passed. • Plant tomatoes deep enough that they are able to form more roots along the stem, thus creating a more vigorous plant.

• Consider planting sweet corn in the garden every other week (until early July) to extend the harvest.

• Learn about various fertilizers, including traditional fertilizer options, and organic fertilizers.

• Thin overcrowded seedlings using scissors. Try to avoid disturbing the young roots.

• Protect fruit blossoms and tender garden plants from late freezing temperatures. Learn about critical temperatures for frost damage in fruit.

• Plant summer-blooming bulbs including gladiola, begonia, dahlia, and canna.

• Divide warm-season ornamental grasses when new growth begins to emerge.

• Learn to control landscape and garden weeds.

• Allow the foliage of spring-blooming bulbs (tulips, daffodils, and crocus) to die down before removing the leaves.

• Renovate areas of your yard

each evening with political text messages. I don’t know how they got my phone number but I hear from everybody running for President of the United States to local politicians running for dog catcher. Hopefully, we will all get a brief break from the insanity. May has come and soon will go. Take it easy and take it slow. Embrace each day and the good people you know. June will soon come, we hope and it will be sunny and bright. We will have long days and star filled nights. But, right now take hold of May and enjoy each day. Find time to soak it all in as it will soon fade away.

peace of mind.

For when we have peace of mind, we don’t need much else. But if we don’t have it, then it doesn’t really matter what else we do have. Unfortunately, our perception can become so easily distorted that we may settle for less than what we are capable of becoming.

And that’s why it is so important to remember that we are not just human “beings,” we are human “becomings.”

We’re not done yet!

That’s probably what Shakespeare was referring to when he wrote, “We know what we are, but know not what we may be.”

Life is filled with a series of cycles that are designed to help us evolve to higher levels. Each cycle is time-limited, and each has a beginning, a middle,

• Aerate with a hollow core aerator in compacted sites when turfgrass is actively growing (April – June).

• Control broadleaf weeds in the lawn when temperatures are between

• Control codling moth in apples and pears to reduce wormy fruit. For specific timing, see our Utah Pests Advisories.

• Treat for powdery mildew on apples when leaves are emerging (at 1/2 inch green) until June.

• Watch for insect pests in raspberries from mid-May thru early June.

• Watch for cutworm damage in turfgrass and new vegetable starts.

• Monitor for damaging turfgrass insects. In areas previously damaged, consider a preventative (systemic) insecticide.

Bountiful Rotary Coats for Kids Car Show hits Main Street June 14-15

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—It’s time once again for food, fun and a whole lot of cool cars as the annual Bountiful Rotary Coats for Kid Car Show hits Main Street June 14-15. The event raises funds for elementary school children in south Davis who are in need of warm clothing.

“It started in 1999 when a rotary club member suggested they help raise money for children in south Davis,” said Krista Simonsen, whose father Chris Simonsen helped start the program. “They thought their main focus should be getting warm clothes for kids. Some also had a passion for old cars.”

They decided to go to principals because they see kids every day, they know the ones in need, she said. “The principals and teachers thought it was a great idea so we partnered with them.”

The rotary wanted to stay anonymous, said Simonsen. “They didn’t want the children to know they bought it. It’s a matter of pride and dignity for parents. They give them vouchers that they can take to go shopping.”

Friday Night at the Square, sponsored by Bahr Dermatology, will kick things off on Friday with a street party on Main and Town Square, Simon -

sen said. “That goes from 5 p.m. – 10 p.m. There will be a Cool Car Parade at 6 p.m. on Main Street, sponsored by Kenson Car Company.”

The band Rockees will play live music, she said. “They’re local and won Best of State in the battle of the bands. They’re really fun.”

Around dusk, the popular Smokin’

Tires Burnout sponsored by Burt Brothers will fill Main Street with fast cars and screeching tires. “There’s go -

ing to be prizes and giveaways with three grand prizes on Saturday,” said Simonsen. “This year Young Powersports is giving us a Quad and motorcycle to give away and Stepsavers donated a mini Jeep as a prize.”

A variety of food vendors will be at the Square as well, said Simonsen. “That’s how we make our money.”

On Saturday visitors can take a look at the cars up close on the lawn at Bountiful City Park, 400 N. 200 West.

“That goes from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.,” she said. “The band Vision will be live with us again. The food court opens at 11 a.m. The picnic in the park is sponsored by Ford. We’ll have roasted corn again so come out and eat.”

A patriotic program is at noon, Simonsen said. “We’ll have skydivers who will bring in the flag to honor veterans and first responders. There will be more prizes and a hula hooping contest.”

New to the show is the Tin Can Tourist group made up of restored travel trailers. “It started during the Depression,” said Darrell Buxton, a member of the club. “Everybody was headed to California. People would load up a Tin Lizzie and when they ran out of gas they would put a radiator cap on the hood and people would put money in it then they’d drive until they ran out of gas and do it again.”

They’ll be highlighted at the show, he said. “Most of them are antique trailers that have been refurbished and some have antique cars that pull them. One is the 1946 Curtis (Wright) Clipper, the precursor to the Airstream. I have a 1940 Teardrop that I’ve rebuilt.” Come down, look at the cars and listen to live music, said Simonsen. “Last year we helped 563 kids. All proceeds go to buying warm winter clothes.” l

Bagel store that ditched tipping sees continued support

By Bailey Chism bailey.c@thecityjournals.com

N

ow more than ever, it seems customers are getting asked to leave a tip at the end of purchases. Often, it’s being asked of people in places that don’t traditionally ask for tips.

One business owner took that issue out of the equation completely and sparked debate with its ‘no tipping’ policy on whether or not tipping is good or bad for workers.

Cheryl Mignone owns Cheryl’s Bagels in Bountiful, serving fresh “New York Style” style bagels from Tuesday through Saturday.

Originally from the East Coast, she opened the doors last year after running the business out of her home for two years during the pandemic. Her need for the East Coast-style bagel led her to bring them home. Prior to the pandemic, Mignone said she would visit New Jersey and bring back suitcases full of bagels for herself and her family. Once the lockdown went into place, though, she had to find another way. So, she decided to take matters into her own hands.

“With too much time on my hands from COVID, while everyone else was making sourdough, I taught myself how to make bagels,” Mignone said. “And one thing led to another and I had an accidental business.”

Soon after she opened the doors to Mignone’s Bagels, she took to social media to explain why she doesn’t allow tips in her business. She posted several reasons as to why she doesn’t feel the need to ask for tips.

One of her reasons is, “It annoys me when I am at a ‘grab and go’ establishment and I am met with the ‘tip screen,’ and depending upon my mood

I either feel annoyed or guilty. And, I think if I feel this way, I am sure others do.”

She ended her post with a few ways she does accept “tips,” some of them being leaving a Google review, sharing her store on your social media, telling others about her shop, and being a repeat customer.

The “no tips allowed” policy started because she would feel personally obligated when she picked food up at the counter and was asked how much she wanted to tip. She recognized that this doesn’t work for all businesses, but it works for hers.

Since the opening of her restaurant, Mignone said she has seen immense support from community members. Being a small business, she loves the amount of support she receives from her customers.

births, and be supportive of the sad times when family members pass,” she said. “My customers look out for me and my staff, and we look out for them.”

In the future, Mignone does hope

to expand her business and share her bagels with the entirety of Utah, not just the Bountiful community.

“It isn’t just about bagels, it is about connection and a sense of belonging,” Mignone said. l

“One of the great pleasures is that we have regular customers who we have gotten to know, and have been able to share in the joys of marriages,

DAVIS COUNTY—Utah, as a whole, is famous for the prolific amount of amazing fossils found in the area. In fact, Jurassic National Monument, and the Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry host the largest collection of Jurassic-era fossils in the world. With so many of these huge creatures around, however, it begs the question: why aren’t there copious amounts of fossils here in Davis County?

Jackson Smith, of the Utah Geological Survey, shared some insights as to why Davis County residents aren’t digging up dinosaurs in their backyards, and why they aren’t likely to do so anytime soon. While there are many reasons, the basics boil down to the following, which also give a picture of what Davis County was like millions, even billions of years ago.

Longtime residents will be very familiar with the Wasatch Range, which borders the western edge of Davis County and runs along the length of Northern Utah. In many cases, modern-day mountain ranges would be a honeypot of fossil finding, but, Smith explains, “The section of the Wasatch mountains in Davis county is particularly special because it contains very old and heavily altered/metamorphosed rocks. It is made of some of the oldest rock in the state, with radiometric ages of about 1.7 billion years.”

This means that those mountains, instead of providing a great spot for dinosaur bones and tracks to be preserved in, were already hardened stone, deep underground while the dinosaurs were roaming the earth above. It would be millions of years before tectonic activity would shift this rock into the mountains that residents see, drive past, and hike on today. It’s

Do you remember any of the assignments you completed while a college student, maybe some assignments that were never submitted for grades? Jennifer Mellen certainly does, and now she’s a winner of a prestigious award from the Illustrators of the Future contest.

The Layton mother of three was chosen as one of 12 winners whose work is published in the bestselling anthology “L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 40,” which was released on May 7. She illustrated the story Nonzero” by Writers of the Future Winner Tom Vandermolen.

“I first heard about the contest when I went to Salt Lake Community College some time ago,” she said. “The pieces I

strange to imagine, but, even for the dinosaurs, the stone that would become the Wasatch Range would be extremely old.

The next contributing factor relates to the granddaddy of the Great Salt Lake itself, Lake Bonneville. Davis County residents will be very familiar with the Bonneville shoreline trail, sections of which can be found in the county. Like

submitted were actually from assignments I’d completed in college. I graduated in 2016, but never submitted those assignments.”

In fact, she said she’d “kind of given up on illustrating after I’d done some commissioned paintings for some people. So along with my husband Nathan, we decided to start our own business (SeaDragon Cove), and that led to connections with artists who told me more about the contest.”

Jennifer became inspired to submit her artwork to the contest after meeting Joni Labaqui and Brian Hailes on their panel at the Life the Universe and Everything Symposium held in Salt Lake City. She entered for the first time last year and got an Honorable Mention, but also encouragement to submit her work again. The second time she was chosen a winner, and was honored at a gala held April 25 at the

This may be the best chance residents have for finding a fossil near home, “there are snails and gastropods from Lake Bonneville that you can find on Bonneville shorelines,” said Smith, “They aren't hosted in rock, though, and may not be much to write home about. But they are there, usually loose in the shoreline gravel.”

Unfortunately, due to the tectonic activity in the region that would become Davis County, the filling and receding of Lake Bonneville, and other forces at work for millions of years, many fossils of larger animals like dinosaurs have likely been pulverized into gravel or dust. Still, it begs the question: what was Davis like during the time of the Dinosaurs? Smith gave us a glimpse of what the late Jurassic and Early Cretaceous periods may have looked like in Davis’ own backyard:

“(Davis) would have been located in a hot, swampy lowland with rivers and lakes, with Dinosaurs like Allosaurus roaming around in the late Jurassic period. Volcanoes would have been common to the west throughout Nevada. Starting in the Cretaceous period, a new mountain range would start to uplift in Nevada/ western Utah called the Sevier Mountain range… Davis County would be sandwiched between uplands to the west and a new seaway beginning to form in the east, encroaching from the north and covering Wyoming and Colorado.” l

Taglyan Complex in Hollywood. She was one of 12 illustrator winners along with 12 writers, among them Vanermolen.

The contest is now in its 41st year and has had fewer than 600 winners.

“It’s a global competition, so being a part of it is kind of mind blowing,” she said. “It’s like ‘How did I get here?’ and that’s kind of what I was thinking every day while I was in Hollywood at the workshops and at the gala.”

Jennifer was born in 1988 in Salt Lake City and raised in Magna. She has been drawing from a very young age and growing up has explored every medium she

could find, including traditional, digital, and sculpting mediums. She has also always loved all things fantasy and creating strange creatures and dragons in her artwork. SeaDragon Cove produced and sold fantasy products at various Renaissance festivals and conventions. They have now joined with We Geek Together Entertainment. Next up will be some book signings and likely speaking engagements, and of course more creative artwork. And those college assignments that were never turned in for credit? They’ve taken her way beyond academia. l

Eight teams remain alive in high school lacrosse at state

By Tom Haraldsen t..haraldsen@mycityjournals.com

State playoff season has begun for boys and girls high school lacrosse. First-round games for several local teams were played Tuesday, with second round games following on Thursday (after our press deadline). Play will continue on Saturday with quarterfinals, and the tourneys wrap up next week at Westminster College and Zions Bank Stadium.

Here’s a look at how the season is progressing:

Boys First Round – May 14

Bountiful 24 Clearfield 1

The 10-seeded Redhawks (10-7 on the year) advanced with an easy win over Clearfield. Bountiful led 5-1 after one quarter and 14-1 at the half, and this match was never really in doubt.

Senior Michael Caspar scored six goals and sophomore Carter Terry had five to lead the Redhawks. Senior Wyatt Farr added three and senior Mason Crane had two. Other scores came from Jensen Freeman, Britton Tidwell, Ben Allred, Tate Terry. Juniors Thorin Carlile and Colton Krogue handled the net for Bountiful, which was set to face 7th seed Alta on Thursday afternoon. Bountiful won two matches last week, beating Bonneville 16-4 and Farmington 12-11 in double overtime.

Salem Hills 11 Viewmont 9

The Vikings’ season ended with a loss to Salem Hills. Viewmont was the 16th seed in the 5A bracket and finished the year 8-11. The Vikes beat Clearfield 13-5 in the last regular season game last week as Sam Terreros scored five times.

Teammates Nate Delgado, Parley Shupe and Luke Cluff each scored twice as well. Scoring against Salem Hills had not been posted by deadline.

Timpview 10 Woods Cross 9

The T-Birds ended the Wildcats’ season with the victory. Woods Cross finished the year with a record of 6-9, having lost its last regular season game to Box Elder last week. There was no scoring update posted in MaxPreps be-

fore our press deadline. For the year prior to the Timpview match, junior Carter Dunn led the Wildcats in scoring with 25 goals, juniors Carter Kringlen and Jared Cannon had 16 and 15 goals respectively, and sophomore Elliott Bendinger had 11 scores.

Girls First Round – May 14 Bountiful 19 Spanish Fork 7

The Lady Redhawks, seeded 12th and now 11-6 on the year, bested the Dons to move on. Seniors Veronica Loveless and Naomi Brice each scored four goals, and

sophomore Claire Jensen added three for Bountiful. Ella Gillian, Layla Blanchard and Megan Youngblood each scored twice, with Ava Vorwaller and Christina Eyring each adding a goal. Senior Kennedy Johnson had eight saves in goal.

Bountiful, which beat Bonneville 16-8 last week, moved on to play 6th-seeded Brighton on Thursday night.

Second Round Matchups – May 16

Boys 6a

Third-seed Davis was set to host 14th seed Lehi. The Darts were 12-3 en-

tering the tourney, having beaten Weber 11-6 last week. Carson Smolka led Davis with three goals, while Ben Roylance and Luke Donigan each added two. The winner was set to face the Westlake-Weber winner on Saturday. Farmington (12-4 on the year and the 4th seed) was set to host 13th-seeded Herriman on Thursday. Should the Phoenix win, they were set to face the Lone Peak-Pleasant Grove winner on Saturday, Farmington beat Layton 19-1 last week, lost 12-11 to Bountiful in double OT, then beat Highland 10-6.

Girls 6a

Davis, seeded 9th with a record of 9-7, took on 8th seed Herriman Thursday. The Darts beat Weber 16-6 last week, led by Olivia Lifferth with six goals and Esther Facer with four scores. If Davis prevailed, it would face the winner of Riverton-Copper Hills on Saturday.

Third-seeded Farmington (11-5) was set to host 14th seed Corner Canyon on Thursday. The Phoenix beat Layton 24-4 last week behind five goals from Alexandra MacAuley and four each from Ruby Roche and Hailey Larsen. They lost 7-6 to Fremont to finish the regular season. Kate Carter, Larsen and MacAulay all scored twice for Farmington. A win Thursday would move the Phoenix into a Saturday matchup with the winner of Syracuse-Lone Peak.

Girls 5a

Third-seeded Woods Cross earned a first-round bye and was set to host the winner of Wasatch-East on Thursday. The Wildcats suffered their first two losses of the season last week, dropping a 10-8 match at Box Elder and losing at Skyline 11-10. If Woods Cross wins Thursday’s match, it would take on the winner of Maple Mountain-Cedar Valley on Saturday. Viewmont also had a first-round bye, and the 7th-seeded Vikings (13-3 on the year) were to host 10th-seed Highland on Thursday. The winner will play either Park City or Alta on Saturday. l

Prep baseball playoffs in full swing as local teams vie for state crown Farmington, Davis reach quarterfinals of 6A boys soccer tournament

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

The final weeks of school have a lot of excitement, including playoff time for spring sports. Davis County baseball teams are putting everything on the line in the state tournament.

In Class 6A, Davis secured the No.2 seed, while Viewmont is No. 3 in Class 5A. The state tournament wraps up May 24, 25.

Davis vs. Farmington

The Darts went 12-3 in Region 1 play, taking first. The Darts grabbed 6A’s second seed and take their 20-5 record against a familiar opponent in the super regionals of the state tournament. The Darts take on Farmington, having just ended the regular season with a three-game sweet of the Phoenix.

Davis won 8-3, 12-1 and 14-7 on those three contests, played May 8 and 9 (with two games on May 9). The Darts got a rest afterward, not having to play in the regionals May 11 and 13. The super regionals consist of a bestof-three series, May 16 and 17, with the higher-seeded team getting a home game in game one and three (the latter if necessary).

The Phoenix have their work cut out for them.

Farmington comes into super regional play with an overall mark of 10-16. The team was 6-9 in Region 1, tied for fourth place. The Phoenix got the No. 15 seed and took care of Westlake in the regionals, winning the series two games to none. Farmington defeated Westlake 7-5 on May 11, building a 7-1 run after four innings and holding on for the victory. Gage Farr, the winning pitcher, struck out eight batters in an impressive showing. From the plate, he also had two RBI. Landon Leavitt and James Peterson also had two RBI, while Pickle Monk and Jaxon Ball hit doubles.

Two days later, Farmington ad-

vanced to the next round to face Davis by beating Westlake 6-1. All six Farmington runs came in the sixth inning. Ball hit a triple, while Max Pearson hit a double. Lincoln Green led the way with two RBI.

The Phoenix will have to slow down a powerful Davis offense that has averaged 8.4 runs per game, second in 6A. The winner of the series takes on the winner of Skyridge and Corner Canyon on May 20.

Viewmont

The 18-5 Vikings won Region 5 by finishing with a 12-2 mark. Now, the Vikings are looking for an even bigger prize.

On Thursday, after our press deadline, Viewmont hosted No. 14 seed Box Elder in the super regionals. The Vikings defeated the Bees in both regular season matchups.

Viewmont wrapped up the Region 5 championship last week with a 16-0 rout of Roy on May 9. Cal Miller had four strikeouts and got the win, as the Vikings allowed just three hits all game long. Meanwhile, the Vikings racked up 15 hits of their own and put up enough runs to end the game after just five innings. Miller also hit a home run and had two RBI. Elias Culley stuffed the stat sheet with two doubles and five RBI. Aden Garcia had a double and two RBI, while Spencer Rees drove in three runs. The victory was especially big considered that just the day before, Roy defeated Viewmont 6-5, handing the Vikings one of its two league losses. If Viewmont gets by Box Elder in the super regionals, it will advance to bracket play to face the winner of Spanish For and Salem Hills on May 20.

Woods Cross No. 10 seed Woods Cross is also in the super regionals. The Wildcats defeated Wasatch 5-2 on May 11 and 14-0 on May 13 to reach the next round. At 17-10, Woods Cross, which placed second in Region 5 with an 11-3 mark,

takes on Murray in the super regionals.

The Wildcats won their first game over Wasatch thanks to an all-around effort with good hitting, fielding and pitching. Beckham Stanger had four strikeouts and allowed five hits. Woods Cross got all of its runs in the fourth inning after falling behind 2-0 Kason Lythgoe had a double and two RBI, while Alex Razee had a double and an RBI. Win No. 2 was an impressive display.

Woods Cross only needed four innings at bat to blow away the Wasps. The Wildcats collected nine hits and allowed only three, with Harley Vicchrilli striking out 10 batters in a tremendous outing. Stanger hit a home run and drove in two more. Tyler Story, Razee and Lythgoe each hit doubles, and Stetson Critchley had three RBI.

Facing Murray will be a tall task for the Wildcats. The two teams met May 16, after our press deadline, with a second game coming May 17. If Woods Cross advances, it will take on the winner of Maple Mountain and Clearfield in the bracket play on May 20.

Bountiful

The Redhawks’ season came to an end a little early.

Bountiful bowed out of the Class 5A state tournament in the regionals with a pair of losses to Jordan. Bountiful also picked up a victory in the bestof-three series but lost the deciding game three 11-6 on May 13.

In the Redhawks’ win, the 10-17 team won 9-4 on May 13 on the road. Bountiful picked up 13 hits and got a solid game on the mound from Tavis Danner, with the pitcher striking out three batters. Krew Nelson had a double, a home run and an RBI for the Redhawks. Jake Stapley and Jefferson Duryea also had doubles, while Danner and Kash Kuehne had three RBI and two RBI, respectively.

Bountiful placed fifth in Region 5 with a 6-8 record this season. l

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

As expected, the Farmington boys soccer team won its opening playoff game and advanced to the state quarterfinals. Davis scored an upset win, too, in the Class 6A playoffs to make it to the quarterfinals.

Seeded No. 1 in 6A, Farmington took its glossy 13-1 record into the second round (following a first-round bye) to face Layton at home in the second round on May 14. The two team had already met twice this season as members of Region 1. Though Farmington won 3-1 on April 19, Layton had given the Phoenix their only loss of the season, prevailing in a shootout back on March 27.

Farmington made quick work of their region foe in a third matchup.

The Phoenix scored twice in the first half and added a third goal for insurance in the second half to move on to the quarterfinals. Josh Foster had two of the goals, while Cole Janke’s goals opened the scoring early in the contest. Luke Haven had an assist, while Jaxon Beynon got the shutout, his sixth of the season.

With the win, Farmington advanced to host eighth-seeded Skyridge on Thursday, after our press deadline. The winner of that game plays the winner of Pleasant Grove and Davis on May 21.

Speaking of the Darts, they had a thrilling shootout win over fifth-seeded Fremont on May 14. As the No. 12 seed, Davis has had an up-anddown season. However, the 6-8 Darts put it together when it mattered most, beating Fremont after losing to the Silverwolves twice during the regular season. In this crucial playoff matchup, Davis fell behind 2-1 at halftime but evened up the score at 2-2 with a second-half goal. Neither team found the back of the net in two overtime periods, so the game went to a shootout.

Davis performed well in the clutch.

The Darts made three penalty kicks to two for Fremont, sending the team to the quarterfinals for a chance to advance to the semifinals to perhaps face rival Farmington. Davis matched up against Pleasant Grove, the third-place team from Region 3. l

Redhawks golfers second in Region 5

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

The Bountiful High girls golf team placed second at the Region 5 championship at The Barn May 13, 12 strokes behind Bonneville. The Redhawks were led by Cambria Ohlson, who tied for third with a round of 82.

Other scores for Bountiful were Izzy Kuehne 88, Brea Patterson 91, Cambrie Wernli 95, Emily Viner 97 and Amelia Mower 110.

Ohlson finished the regular season fourth in the region standings with an 83.3 scoring average and Patterson was also in the top 12 at 11th place with an 88.2.

Woods Cross At The Barn May 13, Kennedee Pearson shot an 83 to take fifth and led Woods Cross to a fourth-place finish as a team.

Also competing at region for the Wildcats were Tess Poulsen, who had a

90, Vivian Oaks 93, Katelyn Norman 95, Charli Judd 103 and Avree Clark 105.

“The scores were higher than we anticipated across the teams,” said head coach Brandon Pearson.

Woods Cross tied with Clearfield for third place in the final region standings. Pearson was seventh with an 88 scoring average and Clark tied for eighth individually, shooting an 89.8 average.

“We’re excited as a team to have finished sixth overall in 5A and are looking forward to the state tournament next week,” said coach Pearson.

Viewmont

Viewmont placed sixth at The Barn May 13 as a team with Karissa Goff tying for sixth place after a round of 84.

Also scoring for the Vikings were Halle Salmon with a 93, Berklie Fox 98, Lilly Archibald 99, Grace Fabrizio 103 and Lilly Hawker 104.

Viewmont closed out the regular season in sixth place as a team in Region 5 with Goff coming in sixth individually with an 86.9 scoring average. l

Bountiful continues to rule Region 5 with sixth straight title; Davis takes Region 1 crown

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

The Bountiful High softball team, ranked third in the state, secured its sixth consecutive Region 5 championship with an 8-2 win over Bonneville May 7. Davis closed out Region 1 play with two wins, taking a region title of their own. Viewmont went 2-1 this week while Farmington was 1-2. Woods Cross lost to Box Elder, finishing their season with a 2-17 record.

and two overtimes couldn’t decide the result.

And the Wildcats did it in comeback fashion.

Woods Cross allowed two goals in the first half to find itself down 2-0 at the break. But Lloyd and Sam Yost scored in the second half, with Despain and Gage Gardner getting assists. Woods Cross kept Box Elder off the board in the sec-

ond half, sending the contest to overtime. Neither team scored in two extra periods, so a shootout would be the deciding factor. There, Woods Cross made four penalty kicks to three for Box Elder.

On Friday, the Wildcats will see if they can keep the magical run going. Woods Cross now plays at No. 3 seed Salem Hills in the quarterfinals for the right to advance to the semifinals. A win there would pit the Wildcats against the winner of Roy and East on May 20. l

Roth again pitched the Darts to the win, striking out six Warriors batters.

“I am so proud of these girls,” said Street. “We were picked last by the coaches in our region to begin the year. We all used that as motivation to prove them wrong. We are Region champions!”

a cool experience for the students (in that special education program) to have a class and learn to compete.”

Just this morning (Wednesday) he took his players to clean up the Centerville Cemetery to get it ready for Memorial Day, Lund said. “He tries to instill in his student athletes that what they do in school, with other students and in the community should represent them well.”

“This is amazing,” said Jones. “I had no idea. I was told it was for Unified Sports. I came down and thought ‘holy moly there are so many great teachers.’ This has been a storm of emotions.”

Jones started teaching in 2008 and came to Viewmont two years ago. “This is my dream job,” he said. “I love the small town community feel. I love the area. I’ve always wanted to be here.”

NFL football player Hunter Dimick, a former player for Jones, was at the assembly to honor his coach. “I’ve stayed in touch,” said Jones. “I take care of him whenever he needs something. When you’re a coach and teacher the job doesn’t end when they graduate. They can come back and ask for things and I’m always there for the kids.”

Jones said Viewmont didn’t have Unified Sports yet when he came on. “It started with 15-16 kids and now we have 40 kids. It’s awesome. We have peers from other sports play with students in the special needs program.”

“He’s an amazing person and coach,” said Viewmont junior Michael Sanchez. “He motivates us to do better and he will

coach Karl Lippa. “We have been plagued by recent injuries to three of our players, and I have been pleased to watch the growth of the others to help fill in those roles. I have enjoyed watching this team grow from a team that was picked to be sixth in the region to being second in the region behind Bountiful. I have enjoyed working with these boys.”

The Vikings seniors honored were outside hitter/ defensive specialist Brandon Groethe, middle blocker Aaron Harkness, middle blocker Christian Hirst, opposite hitter Michael Kabo, outside hitter Titan “Ty” Philips, libero Daren Tovey and outside hitter Ryker Zeh.

“On our side of the net I was pleased that every senior was able to participate in the match in some way,” Lippa said. “All of my seniors were playing in their first year of high school, and I am beyond pleased with their growth.”

Viewmont finished second in Region 5, going 12-2, with its two losses to champion Bountiful, and were 1710 during the regular season.

In the 5A state tournament, No. 9 Viewmont faced 24th-seeded Taylorsville in the first round May 14 (after press deadline).

Woods Cross

On Senior Night May 7, Woods Cross fell to Bountiful in straight sets. The Wildcats were led by Hayden Poulton with eight kills while Ryker Iverson recorded a double-double of 16 digs and 16 assists.

Woods Cross was third in Region 5 play with a 9-5 mark and closed out the regular season with an 11-16 record.

The No. 16 Wildcats went up against 17th-seeded Box Elder in the first round May 14 (after press deadline).

Davis

Davis defeated Weber 25-16, 25-23, 24-26, 25-18 May 7 behind 15 kills from Luke McKnight and 13 from Chase Valentine.

Josh Wood and Jack Bennett teamed up for 29 assists in running the offense. Defensively, Valentine and Bennett recorded 13 digs on the back line with McKnight and Brandon Sims adding 11 each. McKnight also had four blocks at the net.

The Darts finished the regular season 13-6 overall and 6-4 in Region 1 play.

Davis, the No. 8 seed in the 6A state tournament, received a bye in the first round and will face ninthranked Skyridge in the second round May 16.

help you in any situation whether it’s in school or something else you can call him and he'll help you out. He teaches us to love each other. That’s his coaching style.”

“I love him,” said junior Blake Moore. “He was the driving force for me to come here to school and play football. He’s involved and he has excitement and a positive energy but he pushes us.”

It’s been fun to get to know him and hang out with him, said Moore. “He’s a great coach and father figure.”

“My philosophy is to build a program with love in the process,” said Jones. “If you love your school, community and yourself you’ll be successful in this life. That is the model I believe in.” l

Farmington

Farmington swept Layton 25-16, 25-12, 25-13 on Senior Night May 7.

“We asserted dominance in a decisive three-set victory,” said head coach Fermin Soriano Bautista. “We maintained control throughout the match with precision serves, powerful spikes and strategic blocks. Despite Layton’s efforts, our cohesive teamwork secured the second position in the region standings. This victory highlights our skill and determination, solidifying our position as a force to be reckoned with in high school volleyball.”

Brayden Peck, Owen Yamasaki, Jake Connell, Ashton Scholtz, Dylan Borland, Steele Van Noy and Anderson Duke were the seven Phoenix seniors honored that evening.

Farmington was second in Region 1 play with an 8-2 record and were 16-10 in the regular season.

The No. 12 Phoenix squad received a bye in the first round of the 6A tournament and will take on fifthranked Lone Peak in the second round May 16. l

and started having kids. Life got crazy so I didn’t get in to have it checked.”

Laybourne said his wife pushed him to go to the doctor since it had been so long. “That was in 2020 and we were shocked to hear that my heart was not doing good and that I would need open heart surgery.”

This was right as everything started shutting down with the pandemic, he said. “I was told that my wife Brooklyn couldn’t be with me for the surgery because no one was allowed into the hospital. I was scared. I told them there's no way I can have it without my wife but I told people on my platform that life is not fair, it's how you handle it. It was time for me to take that opportunity and not run away.”

So on May 8, 2020 Laybourne said he gave his wife a hug in front of the hospital with the hope that they’d see each other again. “She was hanging out in the parking lot of McKay Dee keeping people posted. We received so much love and support during that time.”

It was after that the American Heart Association reached out to him to share his story, said Laybourne. “I wanted to help with fundraising so there was a donation sticker on TikTok where it was easy for people to click and donate.”

The goal was to raise $25,000 by the end of December 2020, he said. “I told them if we can’t raise it I’d make up the difference. We raised $256,000. Through fundraising in 2021 we raised more than $400,000. We hit the million mark in September 2022.”

Everybody has rallied, said Laybourne. “To be part of something like that is amazing. I’ve seen mountains move through TikTok.”

Laybourne started his TikTok platform in 2019 after being bullied on Instagram. “I was lip syncing, which is something I love to do, and I was posting it and people loved it but then people started posting mean things. I found TikTok and continued what I wanted to do.”

His platform was meant to use social media in a positive way, said Laybourne. “I wanted to inspire others and use it for good. I have three kids and I wanted to show them the good side of social media. This is the world they have to grow up in.”

Laybourne started “Hat and Seek” where he would leave a hat somewhere for people to find. “I hid a hat at the Capitol and when I saw a video of them jumping for joy it changed my life,” he said. “I realized I could make people happy and bring them together.”

They posted videos that would show landmarks for people to see where it was, said Laybourne. “We hid it well enough so that someone wouldn’t just randomly pick it up.”

Laybourne said he uses his name JT to mean “Just Think.” I want people to ‘just think’ what a smile would do. Let’s be kinder to each other. Just think before you react badly. Maybe that person who cut you off just lost a loved one.”

Laybourne is passionate about what he does. “I want people to understand that they need to get their heart checked,” he said. “If they did, a lot more people would still be on this earth.” l

Shakespeare Company presents ‘Merry Wives of Windsor’ at North Canyon Park

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Kick off the summer with some Shakespeare in the park as the Rocky Mountain Shakespeare Company presents “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at the North Canyon Park amphitheater in Bountiful, May 31 and June 1. The comedy by William Shakespeare was first published in 1602 and centers around some wives who expose a trickster by playing some tricks of their own.

The Rocky Mountain Shakespeare Company started in 2020 and is made up of actors from 6 years old to 46 years old.

“We’re a very age friendly company,” said Director Amanda Brown. “We include everyone. We competed at the Shakespearean Festival and took third in ensemble and third in sweepstakes.”

Brown said they try to do Shakespeare properly. “We use period costumes and try to use the text as a foundation. We don’t have a ton of set pieces because I think that can detract from the language. We try to make language the star.”

Brown has a master’s from the Roy-

al Academy of Dramatic Art in London and a joint degree from King's College in London. “I try to build the actors’

confidence that maybe they didn’t have before and bring it up so that we can put on really great pieces of art. I love seeing

people speak the words.”

The company also holds summer scene workshops, said Brown. “Go to our website rockyshakes.org to get details on auditions, shows and workshops. You can also subscribe to our emails.”

“Merry Wives of Windsor” is free and open to all ages, she said. “The show is a testament to marriage and speaking out against lies.”

Brown said the company has a lot of young male actors who participate in their shows. “I want boys to know that I honor their masculinity and girls their femininity. I don’t want boys to feel they have to be soft in any way. I really do love that.”

Shakespeare is often thought of as highbrow entertainment, she said. “He actually treats the human condition. We see ourselves in all of his characters. The more we read and perform it the better we will be. If you read Macbeth it makes you never want to make a mistake again.”

“Merry Wives of Windsor” will play at 6 p.m. May 31 and June 1. North Canyon Park is located at 3900 Bountiful Blvd.l

LAYTON—Matthew and Gunnar Nelson come from a long line of notable actors and singers but the twins have developed their own career as multi-platinum recording artists with hits such as “Love and Affection” and “After The Rain.” The pair will perform June 15 in “An Evening with The Nelsons,” a live concert at the Kenley Amphitheater.

The Nelsons became popular in 1990-1992 and graced the covers of People Magazine, Metal Edge, Teen Beat, 16 Magazine and more.

“We were the Taylor Swift of that time,” said Matthew Nelson. “We couldn’t go out or we’d cause mall riots.”

The Nelsons are grandsons to TV icons Ozzie & Harriet and Rock & Roll legend Ricky Nelson. “Our dad sold a half billion records in his career,” said Matthew. “We’re recording to 10 million people who have no idea who Ozzie & Harriet are.”

On their mother’s side, Matthew and Gunnar are grandsons to Heisman Trophy winner Tom Harmon and actress Elyse Knox and their uncle is actor Mark Harmon.

“Growing up we didn’t know about our family (being famous),” Matthew said. We thought it was normal for people to ask grandpa for his autograph. Everyone is so down to earth they act like they’re nothing different. Mama Cass

Matthew said they didn’t realize his pop was special until later. “We realized he was special when he came to a school event and all of the teachers started putting their makeup on.”

The family was on vacation and Ricky Nelson was performing. “He played at a hotel and when the curtain went up someone was singing and everyone was applauding,” said Matthew. “I thought, ‘that looks like pop’ and realized it was him. That was imprinted on my heart that everybody (listening) was so happy.”

Music has always been his friend, Matthew said. “My brother and I played together at clubs that we were too young to get in. We played with some great people.”

When Matthew and Gunnar were 18, their father was killed in a tragic accident. “My pop died tragically and suddenly in a plane crash,” said Matthew. “We were supposed to go with him but he told us to stay behind. I feel him around whenever I take the stage.”

Matthew’s son Ozzie has already shown a talent for music. “I see my dad in him,” he said. “The kid never knew him but he’s in there. He’s 9 and had his first drum set at age 4. He plays the piano and he’s writing his own stuff. He’s a really talented kid.”

Dad was one of the nicest men, Matthew said. “He never thought he was a big deal. He was the most genuine and down to earth guy. There was a sweet-

ness about him. He always used three rules. Be undeniably good at whatever that might be, never lose your sense of humanity and never be a jerk. I think you can get pretty far in this world with these.”

Matthew said the concert will feature some of their hits and fun heartfelt storytelling. “It will be the combination of all of it. Everyone will get something they like.”

This is not just a job, he said. “We’re blessed. What a journey with this gift of music. It’s always been our mission to bring the world joy.”

An Evening with The Nelsons concert is Saturday, June 15 from 8 p.m. –9:30 p.m. at the Kenley Amphitheater, 403 North Wasatch Drive, Layton. Visit davisarts.org for ticket information. l

Will food costs keep eating up consumer budgets?

By Robert Spendlove Zions Bank Senior Economist

W

hile inflation has leveled out, food costs continue to take a big bite out of the household budget.

Americans have been spending more than 11% of their after-tax income on food – reaching levels similar to the 1980s, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That spending is divided nearly equally between eating at home and eating out, the combined cost of which jumped 25% from 2019-2023. However, there may be relief ahead. Food inflation broadly appears to be slowing. Grocery prices stayed flat from February to March, with notable decreases in butter, cereal and bakery products, according to the latest Consumer Price Index. Retail prices on dairy, flour, breakfast cereal, rice and pasta dropped over the past 12 months, while beef, chicken

and bakery products increased.

While sticker shock at supermarkets has diminished, restaurant prices have been slower to come down. The CPI’s “food away from home index” — which includes food purchased from restaurants, fast food chains and other eating establishments — rose 4.2% from March 2023 to March 2024, compared to a 1.2% rise in the “food at home” category.

This disconnect between food at home inflation and food away from home inflation illustrates an important dynamic happening broadly in the economy right now. Food pricing is complex because it reflects not only commodity prices, but also the cost of bringing food to market, like labor, transportation and packaging.

In 2020 and 2021, the Coronavirus pandemic shifted consumer behaviors and snarled supply chains, sending food prices skyward. Those effects were compounded in 2022 by an avian flu outbreak impacting egg and poultry prices, and

also the war in Ukraine pushing up global energy costs.

As supply chain strains eased over the last couple years, price inflation for goods also eased. The USDA Food Price Outlook now forecasts slowing food inflation in 2024, predicting a 2.4% rise in all food prices in 2024.

However, a new dynamic has emerged regarding consumer demand. Consumers have moved their purchasing preferences from goods to services. Rather than making dinner at home, consumers increasingly prefer to eat dinner at a restaurant. They value the service and ease of having someone else prepare meals for them. Eating at a restaurant also reduces food waste and takes less time for the consumer. And people enjoy the social component of the dining out experience.

However, eating away from home adds extra service costs to the price of food. After all, those cooks, servers, and

dishwashers need to be paid. And a persistent labor shortage has caused labor costs to increase, as wage growth has accelerated. The result is that food away from home inflation now exceeds the inflation of food at home.

Families with the lowest incomes have been hit hardest by rising food prices. In 2022, households in the lowest income bracket spent just over $5,000 on food, representing nearly a third of their income, while households in the highest income quintile spent nearly $16,000 — about 8% of their income.

Rising inflation remains one of the biggest challenges to the economy, and the Federal Reserve is determined to achieve its mandate of broad price stability. Historically, goods inflation has been easier to tame than service inflation. And this seems to be true again in the current economy. The stubbornness of food inflation is an example of how the path back to normal can be bumpy. l

OBITUARY

On May 11, 2024, Shirley Jean Carruthers passed away unexpectedly, but peacefully, while watching The Golden Girls sitcom on her couch.

On Sept. 11, 1934, she was born to Clifford Monroe Solem and Jean Louise Thompson in Butte, Montana. She attended 12 schools throughout the state of Montana before entering high school, and graduated from Missoula County High School in 1951 where she was a double baton twirler, cheerleader and a tap dancer.

She married Robert Zander in January 1953 and had one daughter, Ronda. Later, and divorced, she married Robert Carruthers in March 1961. They started out in Missoula, then moved to Billings, Montana and lived there for seven years before moving to Bountiful, Utah where they resided for the rest of their lives.

In Bountiful, Shirley was actively involved in the International Order of Job's Daughters and served as Bethel #9's Choir Director as well as State Choir Director. As the mother of a Job's Daughter she played a significant role in hosting numerous parties and supporting lots of fundraising events.

Since her move to Bountiful, she has been a parishioner of the United Church of Christ and served on its Alter Guild for several years. From beginning to end, her faith in God never wavered. She loved going to church. Her voice was never stronger or more sincere than when she was singing praise to the Lord.

During the retirement years of her life, she was a member of the Bountiful Art Guild, and a tap dancer with the Maxinettes at Bountiful's Golden Years Senior Center. They entertained throughout the Salt Lake Valley all year long and once in Branson, Missouri. They developed an unbreakable bond of friendship as well as thighs of steel from all their hours of prac-

ticing and performing.

An excellent knitter, a dedicated employee for Dick's Grocery Store, an adventurous world traveler, an avid reader, a lifelong loyal friend to many, a skier of both water and snow, Shirley had unbounded energy. She was often referred to as the human version of the Energizer Bunny. She was preceded in death by her son Larry Kirk Zander, her mother and father, her husband Robert Carruthers and is survived by her daughter Ronda Zander of Elkridge, MD; sister Judith Joy of Sun City, AZ; stepdaughters Cynthia (Robert) Prigge of Billings and Bettina (Rick) Redman of Missoula, and two nephews Mark (Laura) Peres of Greer, SC, and Daron (Kit) Peres of Woodlawn, MD, as well as six grandchildren.

A memorial service for Shirley will be held on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at the Legacy House of Bountiful, Utah from 3-5 p.m. in the activity center. It is located at 79 East Center Street, Bountiful, Utah 84010.
