Every year, residents along the benches of Davis, Salt Lake, Weber and Utah Counties share a common problem – deer coming into their yards, eating from their gardens and caus ing mostly minor damage. Every year, residents call their city leaders or state officials seeking help or answers as to why these deer can’t be captured and returned to the wilds. It’s been worse this year, as the state’s ongoing drought has led to more wildlife searching for food and water. This affects deer in particular, as the limited availability of sustenance leads to a reduced number of newborn fawns, and fewer of those who are born survive the first year. This also affects the number of huntable deer in the fall. The challenge is knowing what proper ty owners can do to combat the situation, and it starts with both our gardens and our desire to help these deer.

An NBC News poll shows that “threats to democracy” is the most important issue to voters as the fall elec tions approach, superseding inflation and the economy. It also showed that 68% of Republicans are highly interest ed in the election compared to 66 per cent of democrats. Those numbers are closer than in March, when the GOP advantage was 17 points. Most voters approve of the investigation of former President Donald Trump (57 percent), and 58 percent disapprove of the Su preme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. President Joe Biden’s approval rating is 42 percent, and 58 percent of Americans surveyed said the country’s best days are in the rear-view mirror.

Russia blames Ukraine for assassination of young woman Russia said Ukraine intelligence officers assassinated Darya Dugina, the daughter of one of President Vladimir Putin’s top supporters. Putin’s inner circle of advisors has been put on high alert after the assassination of Dugina, who was killed on Sunday after a car bomb exploded in her vehicle in the Moscow region. Ukraine denied involve ment, and a former Russian MP official suggested an anti-Putin group in Russia could be responsible. Ukrainian Presi dent Volodymyr Zelensky warned that Russia could do something “particularly ugly” ahead of the nation’s Indepen dence Day (set for Wednesday after our press deadline). U.S. companies bringing many jobs back to the country U.S. companies are bringing work forces and supply chains home at a historic pace, according to the Wall Street Journal. American companies are on pace to reshore, or return to the U.S., nearly 350,000 jobs this year. That would be the highest number on record since the Reshoring Institute began tracking data in 2010.

BOUNTIFUL—More than 70,000 kids in the Davis School District returned to school on Monday to hit the books for another year. Boulton Elementary students got an extra surprise as a hot air balloon lifted off outside the school. Boulton’s theme this year is “Soar to new heights.” “When we fly we like to touch the wa ter,” said pilot Kent J. Barnes, who taught the kids about balloons during an assembly before the launch. “We call it splash and dash.”Barnes showed the children pictures of different kinds of balloons of all shapes and sizes. “The one we’re using today is the Belle Star and it could fit the equiva lent of 90,000 basketballs inside,” he said. “This other one is up to 600,000 basket balls.”The balloons are sensitive to weather, said Barnes. “Ten days ago we started to plan this. We watched the weather and then the day of we called the FAA for an official briefing.” “Hot air balloons are cool,” said a first grader when Barnes opened it up to questions. “Has a balloon ever popped?” asked a second grader. “How much does it cost to fly?” a sixth grader asked. “It’s about $175 an hour to keep a balloon in the air,” Barnes said. Barnes said he’s only had one person in 20 years who has gotten in the basket and chickened out. “They’re the only one that said ‘put me on the ground.’”

In contrast to the story above, more than half of all U.S. companies are plan ning to lay off employees as they brace for an economic downturn, according to a new survey. The PwC survey –which polled 700 executives and board members across the U.S. – found 52% of companies have already enacted hiring freezes, four out of 10 have rescinded jobs or axed signing bonuses for new hires, and roughly half have started laying people off or are preparing to cut headcount. The grim numbers under score how dramatically sentiment has changed from a year ago when employ ers were handwringing over losing staff amid the so-called “Great Resignation” when employees left corporations en masse.Nevertheless, companies are still trying to keep top talent happy, with two-thirds of employers increasing pay, expanding benefits or allowing more flexible work schedules for other workers. to new as another school year begins

The deer, in fact, have become domesticated – used to urban environments – and don’t do well when relocated into non-urban areas. DWR officials have stopped translocation efforts due in part to the spread of chronic wasting disease, a fatal contagious neurological disease that affects deer, elk and moose. The disease has been spreading throughout many states across the U.S. Currently, the disease has a very low prevalence rate in Utah deer populations compared to neighboring states like Colorado and Wyoming. The division had started an urban deer program in 2014 as a way to give cities the ability to deal with ever-increas ing deer/human conflicts in expanding urban areas. The program gave municipalities two main removal options: lethal removal and non-lethal removal (by capturing and relocating the deer). But the relocation part of that program has been stopped.

“If you notice deer or elk that look sickly, are injured or are acting aggressively, you should report it to the nearest DWR office,” Jones said. “If you encounter a cougar that has killed something in a neighborhood or yard – or it is exhibiting aggressive or threatening behavior – you should report it. If you see a bear in a residential area within the foothills or canyons, you should only contact the DWR if the animal is being aggressive or if it is getting into trash, fruit trees or causing damage. You should definitely report a bear that has wandered into lower-elevation areas and is within city limits or in a heavily-populated area.”
“We started a pilot program for translocations and further research because of public requests,” DWR wildlife coordinator Mike Wardle said. “The pilot was planned to last until we could establish the full cost and the survival rates compared to the risks associated with relocating deer from cities.” After weighing the benefits and risks associated with the non-lethal removal option, the DWR made the deci sion to discontinue the translocation part of the urban deer program. Research also showed that the translocation efforts didn’t significantly change public feedback regarding con flicts with urban deer. So how can residents reduce conflicts with deer in their gardens?

FARMINGTON—The Great Salt Lake is at a historic low level and as it continues to shrink state and federal leaders are creating legislation to study drought conditions and preserve and protect the lake. Sen. Mitt Romney and Speaker Brad Wilson got a firsthand look at the receding lake last week as they toured it by airboat. The lawmakers made stops at the Great Salt Lake Brine Shrimp Coopera tive, agricultural site Bear River inflows and Farmington Bay.

HB410 Great Salt Lake Watershed Enhancement during the 2022 Legislative Session that created a water trust to identify sustainability proj ects and conservation that would increase water quantity and water quality in the Great Salt Lake. In addition, the legisla ture appropriated more than $300 million for the protection and preservation of the lake and passed other water conservation bills.Romney’s Great Salt Lake Recovery Act legislation to study historic drought conditions passed the U.S. Senate on July 28. His Saline Lake Ecosystems in the Great Basin States Program Act legisla tion, introduced in 2021, would establish an ongoing monitoring system to inform coordinated management and conserva tion actions for Great Basin saline lake ecosystems that are threatened, a release said.“With the Great Salt Lake currently at the lowest levels ever recorded, we must do whatever is necessary to save it,” said Romney. “Today’s visit was informative in our ongoing efforts to restore this crit ical body of water. I appreciate Speaker Wilson’s leadership in working toward a permanent solution to save our state’s iconic body of water and I am proud to support Utah’s efforts on the federal level. I hope that the House will soon pass my legislation – The Great Salt Lake Recov ery Act – to study historic drought condi tions and protect the long-term health of this lake.”
Chelsea Roberts was 8 years old when her mother was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. She remembers watching her mother’s decline from the fa tal genetic disease that affects nerve cells in the brain. When Roberts was 19, her mother passed away. “It was hard. At that point she had suffered for so long, it was kind of a tender mercy. She fought so bravely and so hard. When you watch someone you love go through that for so long, you only want the best for them,” Roberts said. “I’m the only one out of my siblings that hasn’t been diagnosed with the disorder. My younger brother and sister both have tested posi tive.”Today, there are about 41,000 Amer icans with the disease and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. People with the genetic marker have a 50% chance of passing it down to their children. To bring awareness to the disease, the Huntington’s Disease Society of America will host Team Hope, the organization’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in 100 cities across the country. In 15 years, it’s raised more than $20 Roberts,million.who was recently crowned

They’re our exercise buddies, our travel partners, and quite often, our very best friends. And while most dog parents don’t need an excuse to hang with their favorite four-legged companion, National Dog Day is today, Aug. 26. It pro vides yet another reason to really celebrate what makes that human-dog bond so very special.Utah-based Best Friends Animal Soci ety is offering tips that any dog will be sure to appreciate today, or any day: For the Beauty Hound: Give your dog a spa day at the groomer with a luxurious bath and blowout. For The Social Butterfly: Plan a play date at a local doggy day care or take a trip to a local dog park or dog-friendly beach. For the Adventure Seeker: Head to a fun spot for a long walk such as a beautiful mountain trail. For the Sophisticate (AKA: Seniors): Dine al fresco at a restaurant that offers canine-friendly cuisine. For the Gourmand: Try making a barkcuterie board of all the tasty yet healthy things your dog will enjoy. For the Supermodel: Go beyond the usual selfie and book a professional pho tography session for pictures that you’ll treasureAndforever.fordog lovers who want to make a difference for homeless dogs all over the country, Best Friends recommends the following:Adopt Don’t Shop: Consider adopting a dog from a local shelter or rescue, especial ly a large breed. From huskies to shepherds, terriers to mutts, many shelters are at capacity with dogs over 40 pounds awaiting a second chance at a new life.
Volunteer: Spend time at a local shelter or rescue to walk and socialize dogs. The more exercise and care a dog has during their shelter stay can often mean the differ ence in behaviors that will help him or her find a potential adopter.
“The Great Salt Lake is more than just a lake – it is an irreplaceable asset that directly impacts our state’s envi ronment, economy and quality of life,” Wilson said in a statement. “Preserving the lake requires a collaborative effort and I appreciate Sen.

Second Teen Center opens at Northridge High
New superintendent focused on most important things – teaching and learning
“I’ve never been a part of anything like this,” said Northridge Principal Jason Smith at the opening. “It blows me away how this came together. It’s easy to get behind this because it offers hope. It lets some students feel lessSmithdifferent.”saidhe’s never seen a community come together like this. “When they heard about the project the money just came pouring in. The project has wanted for nothing. That’s the Northridge community.” “This is a great day,” said Davis School Board member Gordon Eckersley. “This shows how much the Davis School District cares about students and learning. You hear about students and the challenges they have. ‘See a need, meet a need.’ Let’s say OK, let's take care of it.” “It’s because of Jodi, it’s been her dream to get this done,” said Brian Slagle, DEF BoardThePresident.students also contributed to making the teen center happen. “They set a record of fundraising of over $20,000,” said Smith. “It was through the work of the student body to raise money to help their own.” This is such an amazing cause for Northridge High, said SBO Vice President Chloe Williams. “This will help students feel safe, comfortable and successful. A place where they belong and feel proud and happy they’re a knight.” “We know how stressful and difficult high school is,” said SBO President Darryl Namazi. “With homework, friends, even find ing a date to homecoming. This center will give them a place to study and shower.” “We know as teachers that students learn best if they’ve eaten breakfast and know where their dinner is coming from,” said Superintendent Dan Linford. “This space fills an incredible need to help us help our most vulnerable students. It’s been a great pleasure to watch this. I hope students will use this to find their vision and to do good somewhere else.” This represents students helping students, said Davis Chamber President and CEO Angie Osguthorpe. “Anyone who has had a hand up is in turn reaching out to others to help them. These are dark times happening in the world. Students and the community have a chance to help people with this.” “You don’t realize there are so many students in need,” said Layton Mayor Joy Petro. “This hits home in a private way. There are kids who absolutely need it so they can focus on school work. I love it. It’s right here. There’s no shame you can tell by the student support.”Thecity encourages neighbors to help neighbors, Petro said. “These are students helping. That’s the community we live in. I’m proud to be a part of it.” There are people in this room who grew up in these circumstances, she said. “Look now at what they’ve accomplished.” l
Those in administration shouldn’t forget what it’s like to be a teacher, Linford said. “On that first day you drop into bed and your legs ache and you’re tired but con tinue to try hard. At the end of the day all our work is ultimately to support teachers in the classrooms and students all over the district right now.” Linford said the district is taking a proactive approach to make sure underrep resented students and families are served in schools. “Underrepresented populations' graduation rates were lower in the 70s. Now we have a 100 percent graduation rate. We’ve hired five student success coordi nators, six educational therapists and five family resource coordinators to fill in the gaps and provide support for families and students to navigate the system.” Families come in all different shapes, sizes and backgrounds, said Linford. “It’s important to learn in their homes and schools. We’re all in this together. We need to partner with parents. That’s part of our vision because we absolutely know we can’t get it done without them.” l
Davis School District has new leaders at the helm
The answer to that question is innova tion and the district is really humble about it and works to support all children and chil dren of color, he said. “They mirror that by looking for ways to improve. That speaks to the school district not resting on its laurels.” Montero said he will primarily be over educational opportunities and equity. “We need to hone in on equity and create oppor tunities for children who perhaps wouldn’t have access to those things.” Montero has 20 years of experience and was most recently the principal of Timpview High School in the Provo School District. Prior to that he served as chief of staff to President Matt Holland at Utah Valley Uni versity, as principal of Alta High School in the Canyons School District and as superin tendent intern in Miami-Dade Public Schools and the School District of Philadelphia. He also served as an assistant principal at Timpview High School and as an educa tional consultant in the Los Angeles area as well as in Utah. “I’ve worked in a lot of different fields and curriculum instruction,” said Montero. “I want to bring those strengths to this new team. Dan (Linford, superintendent) and I will have the opportunity to sit down and de cide how we can build together and innovate together.”Montero said he had an epiphany when he was standing in a large stadium of teach ers, bus drivers, etc. “I got the sense of those 10,000 employees and thought my priority is to shrink that organization and communicate with each Thereother.”wasa study done on how large organizations engage with parents, he said. “Its findings showed regardless of the de mographics of where you’re born and raised or whether you are new immigrants, parents shared a passion for their kids to get better. There’s a synergy between every parent that they care in this way.” That’s a common thread, said Montero. “That doesn’t change, that’s a constant.” The district has to create a culture that is nimble, said Montero. “Every child needs access to an adult who is going to listen. They need to have that sense of connection. We need to make sure every single child has that environment and they just know it when they enter into that space.” l

“Davis School District has a terrific reputation throughout the state as thoughtful and innovative,” said Montero. “That was the pull for me to come to work here. I’ve been a principal at two different high schools and worked in college administration and asked ‘how do you build a really remarkable district?’”
FARMINGTON—Dr. Dan Linford stepped into his new role as Davis School District superintendent July 1 and has had to hit the ground running as another school year began. Linford was appointed to the position following Reid Newey’s retirement in May.Prior to becoming superintendent, Linford was serving as a secondary school director for the district. He has 23 years of experience in education and began his ca reer teaching high school English. Linford became the assistant principal of Viewmont High School in 2005, then principal in 2011. He obtained his bachelor’s degree in English teaching from Weber State Univer sity and a master’s degree and doctorate in Educational Leadership & Policy from the University of Utah. “I’m trying to compartmentalize with the message to the staff to keep things sim ple,” said Linford. “Not easy. The hardest is focusing on the basics. The most important things are teaching and learning.”

The Davis School District (DSD) leads the state in academics, he said. “Our mis sion is making sure operations are cerebral, something staff enjoys doing and getting into group teams to solve complex prob lems. I’m committed to making sure groups of folks are part of the decision making on issues that impact them.” Linford said he is focused on teacher efficiency. “We want to support them with training and the time and resources they need to do their very best work. Everyone around the state looks to DSD’s teacher support system and it’s the envy of the state. Our teacher academy gives them a chance to hone their skills so we can grow our own.”DSD has a good reputation that brings new teachers in, he said. “We’re a teacher focused district and people want to be a part of what we’re doing here.”

Montero hopes to create opportunities for all children in the district
SBOS DARRYL NAMAZI AND CHLOE WILLIAMS cut the ribbon to open the new teen center at Northridge High. The center provides students in need with a place to shower, launder clothes and a quiet place to study.
FARMINGTON—Dr. Fidel Montero grew up as a migrant worker with his parents who immigrated from Mexico to the United States. Now many years later he is using his experiences to create opportunities for children from all backgrounds to get the education they deserve. Montero is a new assistant superinten dent for the Davis School District, a position established as part of the district’s settlement agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice in 2021 after a two-year investigation into race-based incidents. His role will be to focus on diversity and equity issues.
LAYTON—Northridge High students, teachers, board members and others in the community cheered as a temporary teen cen ter sign was taken down to reveal the official one at a ribbon cutting to open the center last week just in time for the start of school. The Northridge Teen Resource Center is the second facility of its kind in the Davis School District with four others under construction. The teen center gives at-risk students in need, including those experiencing homeless ness, a safe place to shower, launder clothing, study, eat and access to other basic essentials and an opportunity to work one on one with counselors. It also has a full community pan try for students and families to access food, according to the Davis Education Foundation (DEF).“We have 1,300 students who are clas sified as homeless in Davis School District,” said Foundation Executive Director Jodi Lunt. “The completion of this center is a huge step to better serving those students and many others who need assistance. These children deserve to succeed, but it’s hard to do that if your very basic needs aren’t being met.”

The World Series game on Sunday was played before a crowd of over 4,000 and was televised. The Bountiful boys endeared themselves to all Rockford by their behavior and goods sportsmanship on and off the field. At the final game Sunday it could be said at least twothirds of the spectators were cheering our boys on.
“One of the giant native sons of Davis County has moved on to serve in another capacity and he will be sorely missed,” said Commissioner J. Dell Hol brook, who served with Purdy. Steven son added, “I’ll miss him. I’ve been close to Jerry all of my life.”

Between a divided school board and pressure from a small group of par ents, a decision on 9th grade athletes’ participation in high school athletics is anticipated Sept. 7. The issue has been discussed off and on for two years and was the final item in a long meeting last week, where one board member – a former coach – pushed hard to open the door to 9th graders, while another voiced many concerns against it. The school board president, who normally doesn’t vote except where there’s a tie, flatly said she’d oppose the change.

1972 A proposed ordinance to allow con dominium development in the R-1 and R-2 zones of Bountiful received some additional changes Wednesday evening during the regular city council meeting. There were no vocal objections to the ordinance with the changes. Most prior objections centered around the density allowed under the proposed ordinance. Density is limited to six units per acre for the condominiums, and no main structure in the condominiums may have more than seven dwelling units.

Welcoming the family to the balcony
IN THIS TOGETHER BY LOUISE R. SHAW
New IRS agents are necessary – despite what fat cats say Prevention is better than reaction
Memo to the Royal Family: Even if one of the kids has left the family business, you don’t ban them from the balcony. Or the royal celebrations either, for that matter.Not a good look. Unless you want to look petty and vindic tive. And cold. It was bad enough when Harry and Meghan were part of the family business and you made them stand on the back row of the balcony on the dress-up days. But kicking them off the balcony all together? Petty and vindictive. And cold. Anyone not following the highs and lows of Britain’s queen and princes and the lot, will not know what I’m talking about. Here’s an update in as few words as possible: Harry, the second son of the son of the woman who’s reigned as queen for 70 years now, married Meghan, an American, and after a glorious wedding, things turned sour as they were hounded and criticized by the British press.In trying to protect his wife from what had happened to his mother (surely everyone knows that story), he stepped back from some duties and they eventually left England for America. In doing so, they lost several titles and even some responsibilities they wanted to keep, but it was a mental health thing that we all under stand thanks to Oprah. When they went back to England this year to honor Harry’s grandmother at her Platinum Jubilee, they were treated as second-class citizens. I don’t know why I have an interest in the Royal Family of Britain. A big chunk of my ancestors were from England, but they all left in the 1600s, a good almost-400 years ago. My forebears were also part of the lot that fought for independence from that very coun try 100-plus years later and since they won, I should have little interest in the continuing familyButdynamics.whocan resist the pomp and circum stance of those royal weddings complete with cathedrals and carriages, and who can not look at the latest darling photos of those cute kids of the latest generation, now in line to the throne? Not Andme.apparently not the algorithm that tracks my news interests and sends me a steady stream of updates on the royal family and dirty laundry they are trying so hard to hide. The balcony thing hit me hard est and that wasn’t even hidden. Meghan, being an American, had to have raised her eyebrows when she and her new husband found themselves relegated to the back row of the balcony due to that birth-or der thing that messes with so many children in so many families but does so at a whole new level when reigning is at stake. In America, families don’t have to line up based on birth order to make sure that no one forgets they’re not first in line for the throne. I can fix the problem the royal family is facing now. I can help them work through it in an easy and fast way that doesn’t take any money from the royal treasury or involve any decision of Parliament or vote of the people. If Queen Elizabeth, or Charles or – even better because of how she’s worshipped –Kate, would walk up to Harry and Meghan, in public, in front of cameras and the press, and give them big smiles and big hugs, the British tabloid press would change their tune (we can hope) and the gossip mongers would be silenced and the mental health issue would be vastly improved all around. That, in fact, is a way to work through most every problem in most any family, regardless of what the family business is, or the religion or political persuasion or food preferences of the individuals who make it up. Give them a big smile. And a big hug. Give them the royal treatment and a prominent spot on the balcony. It might not mean world peace, but it’s a peace that will make the world a better place.

Coming to BYU in 72
ROB AND ANDERSONKATHLEENThe Beatles had no sympathy for the tax collector Taxman”)…The(“Thelargest selling fiction author of the 20th century consis tently lamented that she worried about finances due to income and property taxes…One wag said there was only one differ ence between a taxidermist and a tax collector – the taxidermist leaves the hide! The Internal Revenue Service is un doubtedly the most-scorned department in the federal government. Similarly, recent county tax notices to Utah property owners have led to more cuss words than 20 years of golf.We recognize that some taxes are minuscule. A county arts and recreation tax adds up to two cents on the purchase of a large pizza, and most of us don’t balk at the cost-effective tax for libraries and mosqui to abatement. A majority of Utahns don’t even complain much about the combined public school, state education, and charter school levy which comprises about 66% of most county property tax bills. But there is a general fear of the IRS and its audits, a paranoia which right-wing ers like Sen. Ted Cruz and other Republi can officials are seizing as an election year ploy. Granted, the Democrat’s “Inflation Reduction Act” is not likely going to reduce inflation, but according to most economists does little to increase it either. What it does do is attempt to hire some 87,000 new IRS employees (some agents, some auditors, most paperwork processors) over a period of time to make up for the 50,000 employees who have left during the past five years and 50% of current IRS staffers who are eligible for retirement. (If you have ever attempted to telephone the IRS with a question, you understand the staffing problem.) Yet the GOP howling would make you think a sinkhole has swallowed up Mara-Lago! Sen. Cruz claims the agents will target everyday Americans. House Minori ty Leader Kevin McCarthy says the “IRS army will be coming for you.”
Then an old sage remarked: “It’s a mar vel to me That people give far more attention To repairing results than to stopping the cause, When they’d much better aim at Letprevention.usstopat its source all this mischief,” cried he, “Come, neighbors and friends, let us rally; If the cliff we will fence, we might almost dispense With the ambu lance down in the valley.” “Oh he’s a fanatic,” the others re joined,“ Dispense with the ambulance? Never!He’d dispense with all charities, too, if he could; No! No! We’ll support them forever.Aren’t we picking up folks just as fast as they fall? And shall this man dictate to us? Shall he? Why should people of sense stop to put up a fence, While the ambulance works in the valley?”Butthe sensible few, who are practical too, Will not bear with such nonsense much longer;They believe that prevention is better than cure, And their party will soon be the stronger.Encourage them then, with your purse, voice, and pen, And while other philanthro pistsTheydally,will scorn all pretense, and put up a stout fence On the cliff that hangs over the valley.Better guide well the young than re claim them when old, For the voice of true wisdom is calling. “To rescue the fallen is good, but ’tis best To prevent other people from falling.” Better close up the source of temptation and crime Than deliver from dungeon or galley;Better put a strong fence ’round the top of the cliff Than an ambulance down in the valley.
“The Ambulance Down in the Val ley” by Joseph Malins Twas a dangerous cliff, as they freely confessed, Though to walk near its crest was so Butpleasant;overits terrible edge there had slippedAduke and full many a peasant. So the people said something would have to be done, But their projects did not at allSometally; said, “Put a fence ’round the edge of the cliff,” Some, “An ambulance down in the valley.” But the cry for the ambulance carried the day,For it spread through the neighboring city; A fence may be useful or not, it is true, But each heart became full of pity For those who slipped over the danger ous cliff; And the dwellers in highway and alleyGave pounds and gave pence, not to put up a fence, But an ambulance down in the valley.“Forthe cliff is all right, if you’re care ful,” they said, “And, if folks even slip and are dropping,Itisn’tthe slipping that hurts them so muchAs the shock down below when they’re stopping.”Soday after day, as these mishaps occurred, Quick forth would those rescuers sallyTo pick up the victims who fell off the cliff, With their ambulance down in the valley.
Iread a poem the other day that has given me pause. It was written in 1895. It’s proof that hardly anything changes. As I’ve ruminated on the meaning of the poem, maybe the problem (yet again) is that the solution is presented as an either/ or. A while ago, I wrote about the power of “and.” Maybe the world wouldn’t be so divisive if we realized a third option almost always exists. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

It’s that time of year when school is start ing again, for students from elementary to university. There’s always something fun about starting anew, something addictive about beginnings. Fall annually presents one toI’veme.been looking back to this time in 1972, 50 years ago at the end of August, when I first came to the Beehive State as a college sophomore, ready to begin my studies at BYU. It was perhaps one of the best fall seasons of my life. There’s an “autumn smell” to the mountains, an “autumn feel” in so many ways when classes reconvene at the “Y.” And 1972 was a banner year to be in Provo. It was the second year that then 40-year-old Dallin H. Oaks was president of the university. Lavell Edwards was about to enjoy his first game as head coach of the BYU football team. (They were not favored in the season opener against Kansas State, but blew the Wildcats out 32-9. The Cougars finished 7-4 in Lavell’s first season at the helm). That unexpected victory kind of set the tone for the rest of BYU athletics that year.Iinhaled the fresh autumn air, settled into an off-campus apart ment on 900 East, took my first communications classes in the still relatively new Harris Fine Arts Center (ironically, soon to be razed), and looked out as the centennial carillon clock tower was under construction (it was officially opened for the school’s 100th birthday in 1975). Here I was, my first year at university after one year at a California JC, a freshly minted Latter-day Saint ready to make my mark in journalism. There were detours along the way, like a semester I took off to go back home to earn some tui tion, but somehow I endured three years in Provo, and eventually graduated with famed Hollywood director Frank Capra speaking at my college commencement in 1976. That autumn was my first exposure to young people from many different states. There were fellow Californians – a lot of them actually – who teased each other that we were attending the University of California at Provo. There were students from small towns in Utah and Idaho who often asked me if I knew their long-time friends who also lived in California. “No,” I’d tell them, “I don’t know all 21 million who live there, but I have met a few.” I was envious that during the holidays, like Thanksgiving and Christmas, many BYU students could go back home with short drives – one hour, two hours, four to six hours max. My trips home either involved long 12 hour-plus drives across desolated Nevada or airline flights. I clearly remember flying into Salt Lake Interna tional when it had just one terminal and an awful baggage claim system. The memories remain, even though that terminal is long gone. And my first visit to Provo was at night. It wasn’t until the next morning when those amazing Wasatch Mountains appeared to the east of me. I didn’t realize then, and sometimes forget even now, how beautiful these valleys are here in Utah. What my years at university left me with, in addition to a degree, were connec tions, friendships that have endured in the decades since. Many of my college profes sors have passed, but their messages and lessons have remained. As I’ve watched my grandchildren return to school the past couple of weeks, and read of friends who’ve also had their loved ones leave for college, it brings back so many great moments from that first year at BYU, in Provo, in Utah. I always think about them this time of year. I probably always will.l
A Georgia representative conjures up IRS agents “toting guns.” Never once, said Cruz, has any citi zen ever requested that the country hire more agents to confiscate a family’s money.Look beyond this radical rhetoric. First, according to the IRS commissioner, agents will mostly be used to look at the tax returns of giant corporations and taxpayers earning over $500,000 per year. That makes perfect sense. As a bank robber once said, he robbed banks, not small businesses, “because that’s where the moneySecondly,is.” anyone with a brain under stands that tax collections are necessary to meet the expenditures we, through our Congressmen, approved. The IRS is no more a coercive “army” than the local cop. Policemen are needed to help us obey traf fic laws; with no policemen, we would see an extreme increase in motorists running red lights and pushing 100 mph on our highways. Similarly, without the IRS, how many Americans would pay their honest share of taxes? (Even today, studies show a majority of taxpayers “fudge a little” on their taxes. What would it be without a “tax cop”?)And remember that a country without taxes would resemble Somalia. Without a federal income tax we wouldn’t have a mil itary and its civilian-related jobs. Neither would we have clean water protections, highways, Social Security collections, healthcare initiatives, airports, etc. Again, you might think the federal government has its fingers in too many pies, but it’s your representatives in Congress who voted for it. The country has bills and our taxes need to pay them. For this, we need an effective and more efficient IRS. For that, you need staff. Case closed!
Sarah Pehrson serves as the symphony’s concert master and has been with the group since the beginning. She said playing in a symphonic atmosphere allows everyone to demonstrate their skills while performing as a group.“It’s been my baby and I love helping a new program start up and have it grow big ger,” Pehrson said. “It’s almost beyond words. Words are not my strength. My language, I’ve always said, is music because I can easily put my emotions and my feelings out there through my music. That’s why I’m a musi cian.”Even with more than 70 members, the Skyward Symphony is always welcoming new musicians. Ranging in ages from 11 to 70, symphony members build lasting friend ships and learn from each other in the process. Tish said the only requirement to be part of the symphony is to have the ability to keep up and to be dedicated to practice. “We don’t mind if they're a little behind as long as they’re willing to put in a little time and energy to keep up with the group,” she said. “And they do. We’ve never kicked anyone out. We allow people to come and play where they might not be able to play anywhere else.”
“We started off very humbly, 20 to 25 musicians playing in a church house, and now we’re 75 strong and playing at Abravanel Hall this spring,” Tish said. “It’s a wonderful group of musicians. I love them with all my heart.” The Skyward Symphony is a community orchestra based in Davis County. Its main goal is to offer an invigorating environment for musicians while providing quality music performances for the public. The symphony started five years ago, when a group of musicians came together to undertake a performance of the “Lamb of God,” a professional-level oratorio. It was much harder than expected and they reached out to Tish to help organize and conduct the performance.“Iwasreally excited. I had gone to college to study to be a symphony director but I ended up changing directions and going into law, so it was something I never got to actuallyTish,do.”acriminal defense attorney at Chris tensen & Jensen, said the experience was so wonderful, the musicians decided to continue playing together. They created a board of directors, got some funding and now perform free concerts several times a year.
Tish said the orchestra is good for his mental health and there is no experience to rival conducting an orchestra. As a defense attorney, he helps people in dire situations, people others have given up on, and gets to make a difference in their lives. He equates music with that same energy. It has the ability to uplift and change lives for the better.“Iwork with people in a lot of trouble, some even facing the death penalty,” he said. “I represent very few musicians. I think music gives people community and a peer group and it provides people with a lifelong ambition. With my clients, perhaps if they’d had an ex perience with such an orchestra, maybe things would have turned out differently.”

Most performers at Utah's 4th Annual Silent Film Celebration had never heard of Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. But now they’re experts after their music teachers gave them the assignment to learn a song that would accompany a silent film. At the Megaplex Theatres at Legacy Crossing (1075 W Legacy Crossing Blvd.) in Centerville, more than 200 students and 18 teachers joined forces to present the annual celebration on Aug. 6. The fam ily-friendly recital was the brainchild of Heather Smith, who started the event seven years“Aago.lot of these students, the majority of them, have never even watched a silent film before so we’re introducing them to this new art form they didn’t know existed,” SmithThesaid.celebration featured nine classic silent films that were shown throughout the day. Two pianos were set up so as soon as one performance was over, the second stu dent could start. It kept the music flowing through the short comedies and allowed a huge number of students to participate. Centerville resident Berkeley Hamaker just graduated from Viewmont High School. She’s been participating in the silent film event since the beginning. “When I first heard about it, I loved the concept but I wasn’t able to envision what it would be like,” Hamaker said. “But once we had rehearsals I really understood how the music and the film worked together. It’s something I look forward to every year.” Four years ago, Smith decided to make the recital a community event, raising mon ey for a worthy cause. This year, proceeds will go to purchase school supplies for kids living at the Safe Harbor Crisis Center. Students range from age 5 to adult and while most play the piano, sometimes other instruments are featured. Some teachers even have their students compose original music for the films. “It’s a collaboration between the students and the teachers,” Smith said. “For my students, we decided we were going to play a lot of the music that would have been heard during that time period of the 1920s, so we’re doing a lot of jazz, rag and blues music.”Hamaker played a Scott Joplin piece on the piano for the event. She said the experience allows musicians to practice and collaborate together while providing friends and family with an engaging performance. Students also get to be part of a tradition that goes back more than 100 years when silent films first hit the big screen. “They’re learning how to listen,” Smith said. “A lot of times the piano is such a lonely instrument where it’s just them, but having to learn how to play along while accompanying a film is something piano students don’t always get to do.”
With 75 members, the Skyward Symphony has performed together for five years, under the direction of Jonathan Tish.
l PIANO STUDENTS get ready for their performance at the silent film celebration in Centerville.
While Hamaker no longer takes formal lessons, she still looks forward to the silent film recital each year. She admits that learn ing a musical instrument can be frustrating and even monotonous, but it can also pay off in a big way. “You can really have fun with it,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be something that’s boring and something the parents are forc ing them to do. We really see the fun side of music and the fun of producing songs that others can enjoy. That’s what continues to drive people to practice and maintain this skill their whole life. I think we’re learning that by being part of the silent film festival.”

Though there’s a little too much focus on the English divers who made the final rescue, you also get some beautiful side stories from other people who came to help. It’s a long movie, but it doesn’t waste a moment.Animportant streaming note: If you start the film and the Thai dialogue isn’t subtitled, either switch to the Amazon app or turn on English subtitles. You’ll end up with subtitles for all the dialogue, even English, but it’s worth it. The most emotional, tender parts of the movie are all in Thai, and if you can’t understand them you’ll miss out on so much.

Secret Headquarters (Paramount+) If you’ve been looking for fun, fami ly-friendly entertainment, “Secret Headquar ters” is the movie for you. The movie follows a young man who discovers his absentee father has a superhero lair in his basement, a set-up that leads to both plenty of lightheart ed slapstick and some unexpectedly serious moments. It’s a take that doesn’t usually pop up in superhero media – constantly saving the world means you have no time for your kid – and “Secret Headquarters” leaves room for both silliness and some poignant moments. Walker Scobell is a delight as Charlie, believable both when he did donuts in his dad’s super van and when he wrestled with his dad’s lies. Owen Wilson is the father, and his sheer suburban dad-ness offers up an inter esting take on the reluctant superhero. He’s got a nice chemistry with Scobell, particularly as he starts to realize everything he missed.

The pair met as teenagers when they performed on the same stage at a concert. Over the years they started playing together, Schmidt on the piano and Nelson on the cello. “We were very busy doing our own things,” said Nelson. “We had different schedules but our purpose and ambi tions aligned and a friendship bloomed into a collaborative production.”“Without Salt Lake and the Wasatch Front there wouldn’t be The Piano Guys,” said Schmidt, a Davis Coun ty resident. “We’ve been doing music for 30 years in the area, our collaboration came together about 10 years ago. Salt Lake had been supporting us in shows we were doing before The Piano Guys.” The collaboration came about as a favor to a friend, said Nelson. “Paul Anderson owned a piano store called The Piano Guys. He was looking to do videos on YouTube. He had a vision of putting pianos in crazy places. He had a lift that could do it and we said ‘let’s do that.’ “I thought ‘Steve has to be a piano guy,’” Schmidt said. “Steve enjoys all the confusion caused by the name Piano Guys since he plays the cello.” “It’s hard to make it as a musician, especially working on the local scene,” said Nelson. “I’m sort of like an ac cessory to Jon’s productions. One day Jon gave me a vocal mic and an interaction like the Smothers Brothers started to occur.”“Steve has a world class sense of humor,” said Schmidt. “We’re not rock stars, we’re just goofy dads shar ing the joy of music.” “It’s blossomed far better than what we could have done on our own,” Nelson said. “It’s a beautiful friendship and audiences can see it. I love being with Jon. We’re just who we are and we hope people can feel that.” The Piano Guys had only one practice with the choir just a few days before the performance. “It’s a tribute to the fact these are volunteers,” said Nelson. “The choir and orchestra sacrifice a tremendous amount of time to spread their Nelsonmusic.”and Schmidt attribute their success to God and their families. “When you find yourself in work God has for you to do ideas come,” Nelson said. “Otherwise you’ll fall flat on your face. When you’re in the cliffhanger moment that’s when the little miracles happen and you can experi ence that and the miraculous pathway placed under your feet.”The Piano Guys are gearing up for their popular Christmas show at the Vivint Arena on Dec. 17. “We do them every other year except during COVID,” said Schmidt. “This is our third show. We’ve been touring around the country in between.” A lot of time and thought goes into that show, said Nelson. “Anybody who brings heaviness in we want them to be uplifted by the show.” The pair are well known for their covers of popular songs but they’re focusing more on making original music.

Getting to Know
Realignment of schools is a topic that is discussed frequently within the UHSAA as to where to classify schools from 1A to 6A, de pending on the number of students at a school to try to create an equal playing field. “The goal of realignment is to group schools together with relatively the same size as others and put them together into classifi cations.” Oglesby said. “School population and competitiveness are the part of the process that is really designed to set up schools into those classifications, and giving the schools a chance to win a state championship.”
l
Oglesby said that Utah has a high caliber of dominance and maintains a high skill level in sports like football, volleyball and cross country. The fall semester every year brings the same excitement back to high schools and he can’t wait for the season to get started.
MIDVALE—High schools around the state have started their school years and with that the Utah High School Activities Asso ciation will be sanctioning new sports and changing rules that will be implemented this season and next. With over 160 schools and 100,000 students under the UHSAA umbrella, the organization plans on another successful year of young student athletes against each other starting this fall. This will be the first school year of competitive cheerleading starting in late January 2023 in Utah, as well as in the spring of 2024, boys volleyball will be a sanctioned high school sport by the UHSAA. Oglesby said that with boys volleyball in particular, it was a decision by their board members whether or not to sanction the sport, and the process took years to come up with a solution.“Our board took many years to look at the information and viability of the sport,” Oglesby said. “There were a lot of discus sions including superintendents, principals of schools and our board members about gym spaces, funding and transportation. We gath ered the information and made a decision as we will be having our first state championship in boys volleyball in 2024.” The introduction of a shot clock this year in Utah High School girls and boys basketball has been deemed as a “game-changer” and it will change the way youthful players conduct decisions when they are on the court. The reason why shot clocks weren’t in use at games last season was because, accord ing to Oglesby, the National Federation of State High School Associations didn’t allow states to use a shot clock in competitions originally.“Instate competitions, the NFHS didn’t allow the use of a shot clock before this school year,” Oglesby said. “Moving forward, they have allowed each state to decide wheth er they wanted to use the shot clock or not in state competitions. Utah is a basketball state, and after having discussions with principals, superintendents and board members, the deci sion was made to implement the shot clock to raise the competitive level in our state.”
DavisDavis High’s Peyton Love shot a per sonal-best 71 at The Barn Aug. 15 to help the Darts take fourth place as a team. Max Landon had a 72 with Jack Chris tiansen (75), Luke Simmons (75) and Logan Dent – who was given a “special shoutout,” by head coach Josh Roberts with his round of 77 – rounded out the scores for Davis. At Remuda Aug. 18, Davis came in fifth behind Landon (71), Love (75), Simmons (78), Christiansen (79) and Logan DentThe(79).Darts are currently fourth place in Region 1 with Landon tied for eighth individually. l
BOYS BASEBALL is just one of myriad sports sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association, which is adding competitive cheerleading and boys volley ball to its pallet over the next two years.
“Our football programs in Utah have been very competitive and the caliber of talent is outstanding,” Oglesby said. “We are nationally recognized as one of the best states in cross country due to the elevation and the prolific athletes that high schools produce.
Changing Utah high school sports for the better Utah
The volleyball talent is exceptional as well. The fall sports lineup has some of our best student-athletes and there is always just an excitement at the beginning of the year with sports helping with that.”

Is that the Adam Sandler?
Q: This is driving me crazy! What is that tall pink/orange thing in the cityscape behind Stephen Colbert during his monologue? It looks like the webbing on a folding outdoor chair to me. A: It’s the Conrad New York Midtown hotel and, in your defense, during the day it’s more of a beige. Stephen Colbert’s “Late Show” mono logues are performed in front of a video screen projecting an image of the Manhattan skyline — specifically, part of it that runs along West 54th Street, in front of the show’s home at the Ed Sullivan Theater — where the Conrad is located.It’scertainly a distinctive building, though not just because of the dramatic lighting that’s on it at night, making it stand out as a splash of warm pink/ orange in a sea of cold blues. It’s also distinctive because of the circle of walls at the top that look a little like the ram parts of a castle. (I can’t say I’m seeing the folding-chair similarity you are, but these things are subjective.)
A: Wouldn’t it be delightful if it was? Adam Sandler, the “Saturday Night Live” alumnus who has become a bigscreen comedy franchise unto himself thanks to hits such as “The Wedding Singer” (1998) and “Big Daddy” (1999), does have a history with the landmark game show “The Price Is Right.” That said, the current director of the show is a dif ferent Adam Sandler. The acting Sandler is clearly a fan, though. He cast previous “Price Is Right” host Bob Barker in a very memorable cameo in his comedy hit “Happy Gilmore” (1996), in which Barker gets to beat up Sandler on a golf course. Sandler also wrote a scene in his 2011 film “Jack and Jill” in which his character is a contestant on “The Price Is Right,” tor menting the show’s current host, Drew Carey. That all makes it a wonderful coinci dence that the game show’s director and executive producer is also named Adam Sandler.What’s more, director Sandler’s involve ment with the show reaches all the way back to the mid-’90s, meaning he was around at the time the actor was getting up to all his related hijinks. Indeed, the “The Price Is Right’s” Sandler has devoted his career to the show and has grown along with it. Prior to (and along with) directing, he’s performed a number of different roles for the show, including stage manager, editorial consul tant and producer.

HILLAIR FORCE BASE–Gold medalist Olympians Justin Schoenefeld andAshley Caldwell are used to doing flips in the air – on snow – not in an F-16 Thunderbird flying high above the ground. The Olympic skiers were guests aboard the planes during a flight demonstration practice run Friday in preparation for the much anticipated Warriors Over the Wasatch Air show Saturday and Sunday at HillAir Force Base. “It was so insane,” said Caldwell when she was back on firm ground. “I didn’t know if I’d keep my food down. I can’t believe these guys do this all the time. It was tense.” “It was crazy,” said Schoenefeld. “It was like an elephant on your chest and your vision goes away for a minute. We were going 4G’s and I thought that was crazy then we went faster and I thought ‘oh gee.’” It was a real treat, said Lt. Col. RyanYingling. “It was unique and fun for us and fun for you guys. It was a blast. We got through everything and went into super sonic airspace and broke the sound barrier.” They started training on the F-16 early this morning, said Jake Impellizzeri, Thunderbird eight. “It was information by firehose. I putAshley through the wringer. We pulled 9G’s and 1.28 Mach. We did loops and rolls and she got some stick time. It was an honor.”What they do in the Olympics showcases a beacon of excellence, he said. “It’s doing something greater than ourselves.That’s what they represent. It's an inspiration to our team that’s what we try to achieve in the Air CaldwellForce.”said she’s trained her whole life to reach the Gold medal standard. “TheAir Force sets a high bar. I give a high performance in skiing and these guys give a high performance in a different way. It’s two different worlds.” An aerial doesn’t get any less scary, said Schoenefeld. “When I do a triple backflip I’m nervous every day. When we took off I thought ‘oh we’re about to go fast.’” It was absolutely incredible, said Caldwell. “My Gold medal went through the speed of sound. This was the highlight of my post Olympic experience. It was a dream come true and now it’s off my bucket list.”It’s hard to describe the indescribable, she said. “It’s like if a dragon and a unicorn had a baby strapped to a rocket ship. I’m so excited to be a part of this and I’m grateful for their service.”
