BOUNTIFUL—Every two minutes in the U.S. a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. It is the most common cancer diag nosed worldwide, surpassing lung cancer in 2020. It is the second leading cause of can cer death in American women, according to Breast Cancer Statistics and Resources.

To promote prevention and the hope of finding a cure, October has been designated as Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

“Breast cancer is a very common disease that injures and kills,” said Dr. Ray mond Ward with Cope Family Medicine. “The tools to prevent it are not as good as we’d like.”

Some mammograms find 15 percent of cancers, unfortunately it does not prevent the other 85 percent of deaths, he said.

“Women should have a mammogram every year or every other year if they’re healthy. Don’t go longer than that for the best health from a mammogram.”

Women 40 and older should get one, said Ward. “If they’re over 75 they should talk to their primary care physician to de cide whether to do it. We’ll do a screening

Military Educational Therapists

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—The Davis School District Student & Family Resources Depart ment offers several programs to help connect students and families with the resources they need. They have four full-time Integrated Ed ucational Therapists (IET) that rove through out the district working with all the schools to provide services that meet the needs of stu dents without benefits. Through a partnership

with the military, they now provide Military Educational Therapists (MET).

“In the spring the military came with a pot of money to have a program,” said Casey Layton, District Director of Responsive Services, Crisis Response Team Secondary Case Management. “It’s for military families whether they have a military background or are serving.”

It’s not just the Purple Star schools, he said. “There are two military family advocates

Runners honor Raleigh shooting victim by finishing her last run

Just over 5 miles into her Thursday evening run along the familiar Neu se River Greenway, Raleigh mother of three Susan Karnatz was fatally shot by a 15-year-old boy whose shooting rampage killed five people, wounded two and frightened hun dreds more in surrounding neigh borhoods. Karnatz died 1.9 miles short of her 7-mile goal for the day she was killed. Now, runners across the globe are finishing the final leg of the run the 49-year-old never got to complete. Organizing under the hashtag #RunforSue, hundreds of runners are sharing photos of their routes to mark the distance she covered or 7 miles (11.2 kilome ters) to match her goal – on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to show the Karnatz family how many peo ple she inspired.

Link between hair products and uterine cancer

A recent study has established a dou bled risk for uterine cancers among users of hair-straightening products. Previous studies had linked the use of such products to an increased risk of a number of types of cancer, but this study suggests a striking dou bling of uterine cancer risk for users. The exact nature of the link between cancers and the chemicals used in hair straightening has not yet been determined, though the increased risk is clear.

School board president works to keep students in mind

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—From NFL referee to school board presi dent, John Robison has pretty much seen it all. He’s been in ed ucation for more than 30 years and started as a baseball coach at Woods Cross High and coached at Davis and had an oppor tunity to become a referee for some supplemental income.

“When I started refereeing I hadn’t considered the NFL,” he said. “I had my sights set on college. Then a friend sug gested I apply to be an official in the NFL. I thought ‘what the heck’ and started the process.”

He was a referee in the NFL for 10 years. “Nine out of the 10 were playoff games,” said Robison. “Friday I’d get on a plane, do a game and come home and be back in school Mon day morning.”

Robison said they’d meet for three to four hours and watch a lot of film. “Three hours before the game they’d bring out 24 brand new footballs.”

Everyone had security guys right there with them the whole time, he said. “One time in Chicago the security guard tackled a guy because he was coming after me. I got death threats four or five times.”

Now Robison sits on the Davis School Board of Edu cation. “I retired from the district in 2014,” he said. “I love education. My wife is an educator and three of my daughters are educators.” Then someone approached him to run for the school board. “I’ve served six years as president,” he said. “It’s a four-year term. I started in 2016 and took the oath in 2017. I was reelected in 2020-2021 and have two years remaining. I’m glad I ran, I’ve loved it.”

The board’s mission by state statute is to establish policy and write and modify policy, said Robison. “We’re charged with making sure policy is followed. We’re over the budget and making sure money is being managed appropriately and responsibly. We’re also over the superintendent and business administration and evaluate them. Day to day they run the district and keep us up to date.”

During public comments at board meetings, the board can not respond, said Robison. “At the beginning I read the rules they must follow. The board can ask a question of the public but at that time they will not get an answer from me but we’ll get a hold of you.”

A big challenge the board faced was how to return to school after COVID. “We had to make the decision whether to go full day, half day, hybrid or virtual.”

Schools are a place where children are taken care of during the school day, he said. “Schools fill the void of helping par ents. A small percentage want us to raise their kids. Some say ‘from 8 to 3 he’s not my kid – he’s yours,’ but that’s very rare.

That’s the reality of society. It fills a void, an important void.”

Social media is also a difficult challenge for the board, said Robison. “One Facebook post and our inbox is filled with the same questions. It’s an issue someone brought to you. You don’t know anything about it, you just saw the post. It loses its value if it’s not impacting a child but was just picked up through Facebook.”

Robison said he answered a thousand emails one weekend over the hybrid schedule. “The vast majority didn’t have the information.”

The pandemic had a huge impact on teachers, he said. “The governor came out, the health department came out and did what they had to do. Third grade teachers taught all day long then at night worked with a child online. We all know how tough the pandemic was for us but that pales to what it was for them.”

Robison said he’s excited about the direction the district is taking. “We’re doing so well. Dr. (Fidel) Montero has the core interest of kids and teachers. We’ve got an amazing superinten dent. He became amazing on day one. He’s always thinking of the best interest of the kids. We’re in good shape.” l

New student school board member focuses on service

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—Viewmont senior Patrick Neal wants to serve his fellow classmates and believes working as a student board member will give him that chance. Neal is one of two students who sit on the board to look at things from their point of view.

“I want to be an example for other people,” said Neal. “I wasn’t the most popular kid in school and this allows me to talk to kids in a more meaningful way.”

Neal will help report to the school board how kids are doing. “You can tell the board really cares about the kids by how much they talk about them and they want them to succeed as much as they can.”

The student members have an SBO council that meets once a month. “Different SBOs come down and meet with us,” he said. “We can get down to the meat of what we need to do to better serve others. Leadership is serving others.”

Superintendent (Dan) Linford said the SBO sweater gives them more access in the school, said Neal. “There are unique challenges in every school. One school was working on the homecoming dance and another one shared what they’d done. It was awesome to see them work together and collaborate to

benefit the other school.”

It’s the multiplier effect, he said. “You have a multiplier effect when you interact with multiple students.”

As a senior, Neal has the opportunity to mentor the young er class. “We all had a unique experience with the pandemic,” he said. “We want to know how we can make it better for the sophomores and juniors so they’re ready to take over when they’re seniors.”

According to his mother, Neal is a go-getter and a shiner upper, he said. “I’m co-captain of the debate team, I’m in DECA and FBLA, marching band and the wind ensemble. I’m working on my Eagle Scout and trying to get it before I’m 18.”

Neal also works at In-N-Out Burger and loves working there. “There’s never a boring day in my life.”

Serving on the school board will give him an opportunity to see other’s perspectives, said Neal. “Having a student voice is really important. There are different view points across the district and I’m happy to share mine.” l

VIEWMONT SENIOR PATRICK NEAL is given the Oath of Office as a student board member by Assis tant Superintendent Craig Carter. Neal is one of two student members who will serve for the 2022/2023 school year.

Red Cross depends on volunteers to help others in time of need

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—It takes a lot of dedicated people to help at a moment’s no tice when there’s a disaster, but that’s what the Red Cross does – show up on the worst day of someone’s life. The Red Cross does much more than blood drives, although that is a big part of their mission, they also offer relief when it is needed the most.

“We’re a humanitarian organization,” said Executive Director Northern Utah, Mi chael Smauldon. “Part of our mission is to alleviate the suffering in the community.”

The disaster cycle team works close ly with cities and the county emergency services, he said. “If there’s a house fire or larger event or they have an evacuation center it’s our job to work to provide relief for those in some type of disaster.”

Smauldon said they have a good rela tionship with the fire department. “Usually they’ll reach out to dispatch and they call us on a hotline that dispatches to our team. We have a volunteer duty officer on 24/7.”

They’re on call and dispatch to other volunteers who respond to the house fire, he said. “Within two hours we can be on the ground at the home to give immediate assis tance. Things like a hotel room, food items, comfort kits, shampoo and a Red Cross blanket. It’s there for comfort, especially during the colder months of the season.”

If there’s a larger incident like the Centerville wildfire, Smauldon said they’re usually notified by the city or the county emergency manager. “They’ll notify us if a shelter needs to be opened. Depending on the location of the disaster we’ll try to find capacity at churches or county/city rec cen ters, those types of shelters. We’re there to

provide comfort care and welcome them in.”

Everything starts at the local level, he said. “When there’s a hurricane in the gulf, they’ll activate their volunteers.”

If they need more help, the Red Cross will activate other regions, said Smauldon. “There are local and regional divisions in each state and on a national level. All the teams around the United States will con verge on that area.”

The Red Cross is a volunteer led organi zation, he said. “The majority of our staff are volunteers. Our chapter only has three staff members. There’s no way we could respond to fires, the military and hold blood drives without the power of volunteers.”

“Ninety percent of our workforce are volunteers,” said North Salt Lake resident Kristy Denlien, Regional Volunteer Service Officer Northern Utah. “There’s a huge need for volunteers. Davis County is one of the most needed areas.”

Denlien said they try to match commu nity members with volunteer roles to deliver their mission which is disaster prepared ness response. “Our Disaster Action Team members help a family who has experienced a home fire. They help them with the next steps of recovery.”

It can be something small, she said.

“Volunteers can work at the evacuation shelter with community members who have been displaced to give them a safe place to lay their head while the fire department tries to get the people back into their homes.”

There are also volunteer opportunities at the blood donation centers, said Denlien. “They can be a blood donor ambassador. They check people in when they arrive and supply them with snacks, etc. It is a critical role in the blood collection center.”

There are dozens and dozens of op portunities for someone who wants to give back to the community, she said. “They can

help in person or virtually. There are virtual administrative positions such as returning phone calls or in the follow up referral ser vice checking in with a family in recovery to ensure they are getting the support they need.”

Volunteers can explore their options by going to redcross.org/volunteer, Denlien said. “There’s an interactive quiz to help them find the right position for them.”

“Volunteers are the most important thing at the Red Cross,” said Smauldon. “We’re always looking to add volunteers to our family here at our chapter.”l

Congressman’s goal is to control inflation

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

CENTERVILLE—Inflation. Every body is feeling it and that will be Con gressman Chris Stewart’s primary focus if he retains his seat in the House. Stewart held a rally for his constituents last week at Founders Park in Centerville where he talked about problems facing the country.

“We have to control inflation,” said Stewart. “We have to cut spending. Peo ple are suffering everywhere and it didn’t have to be that way. Getting control of that is the best thing we can do.”

Everyone is impacted by it, he said. “Maybe not the rich but the rest of us are. One woman and her child were on a tight budget. She ran out of that budget six months into the year for food. My young est daughter lives in Provo and we try to get together for dinner. She said ‘I’d love to but we can’t afford to pay for gas.’”

Stewart said things such as CRT (Critical Race Theory) are teaching children to hate each other because of the color of their skin. “There’s such divisive ness. When I go to the Middle East they ask ‘are you OK back home in the U.S.?’ It worries the life out of them to know if they can count us. We know how to fix

this. We can fix it.”

The Congressman was instrumen tal in getting $1.5 million to replace the Green Tank in Centerville. “We want to help the people back home,” he said. “We hold workshops with council members and mayors to let them know there is funding available to help them. It’s super effective to reach out to the communities and officials. We can’t help you if we don’t know.”

Stewart flew a B1 and holds three world records. “That’s a lot more fun than Congress.”

“We’re in a fight for our lives,” said Todd Muir, a Bountiful resident who at tended the rally. “There’s a liberal branch of Democrats that want socialism. Chris has done a good job fighting against it. Also the Second Amendment. That’s one of the most important.”

“His morals, ethics and values match all of my values,” said Joe Morzinski from Bountiful. “I was in the military and he was too. He’s representing Utah values and helping to impart that onto other states that don’t have those.”

It's a great time to be alive, said Stewart. “We need to fight for what really matters. If you care about your country you need to fight for it. Get involved.” l

if they’re in overall good health but if they have other health problems we’d probably focus on those.”

There’s one other arrow in our preven tion quiver, he said. “The BRCA gene. It’s a mutation over a woman’s own life. There’s an 80 percent chance of getting cancer. It’s much, much higher for breast and ovarian cancer.”

If more than one relative dies of breast cancer the woman should get tested, Ward said. “Women with the BRCA gene should have a mastectomy before the age of 30. They should get their ovaries taken out after they’re finished having kids. There is a 90 percent reduction in death otherwise they are very, very likely to die. The best preven tion is to take the organs out.”

that will be roving through the district to all branches of the military, not just the Air Force. They’ll also work with special education students and those with a 504 or IEP.”

The advocates will provide brief therapy stabilization and group therapy for students who have experienced constant moving and are always new to the area, said Layton. “We’ve got a lot of agencies to help with this. We meet as an organization with school prin cipals, school counselors and counselors from the base to identify the biggest need and how to serve them (students). We might decide the Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC) would be best to meet with and we’ll work with the military liaison to do what’s best for kids.”

The department also works with non military students and families. “We’ve added family service workers to connect families

The data shows that self examination doesn’t help anything, he said. “I wish it helped but the studies show that it doesn’t. However, if you notice a lump or the skin over the breast changes you should have it checked out.”

The doctor working with the abnormal ity can look extra close to that place, said Ward. “They may do an X-ray, an ultra sound or maybe an MRI. Sometimes they’ll do a small surgery to take the lump out to look and see if there are any cancer cells.”

Ward said they have better treatments now. “We can treat cancers that women would have died from 10 years ago.”

To help with prevention, Ward rec ommends getting the BRCA gene test and leading a healthy lifestyle overall. “Then we need to be supportive and helpful to women who are dealing with this awful thing.” l

to resources at the elementary level,” Lay ton said. “We have provided advocates and personnel staff at the Teen Centers. I’m really excited about what they have to offer. It’s Maslow’s Law, where do you go for clean clothes and a meal?”

IETs make eight to 10 visits and one to two stabilization visits, he said. “We facilitate those and manage their caseload.”

There’s a lot of responsive services out in the community and in the school setting, said Layton. “It’s exciting. The superintendent and school board find funding for these programs. We’ve been working for the last five years to get going in this area. We’ve always wanted to but didn’t have the means. We’re helping a lot of kids.”

To find out what programs the district offers visit their webpage under Student & Family Resources. To start any kind of referral parents should talk to an administrator or the school counselor who can get them connected to resources. l

Bountiful pastor has a single message: love

By Peri Kinder peri.k@davisjournal.com

The welcoming statement for Bountiful Community Church is “No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.” Rev. Robin Swope, the pastor of the church, upholds that mission and wants the BCC to be a refuge for any person who needs to feel accepted and loved.

“I was always a little more progressive, and this church is an awesome fit,” he said. “They’re conservative progressive. They don’t judge people. They accept people for who they are. It’s a diamond in a field and I’m lucky to have found it.”

Swope has led the BCC congregation for three years, after serving in places like in New York, Africa and Pennsylvania. He grew up on the East Coast in a non-practicing Catholic home and got caught up in gangs and crime as a teen. But he always felt he was trying to find his way. When he had a “moment of awakening” in the early ‘80s, he was inspired to dedicate his life to service.

He earned a B.A. in Biblical Literature at Nyack College and finished an M.Div. in Pastoral Ministry at Alliance Theological Seminary, with an emphasis on marital and family counseling. He served as a missionary in Burkina Faso and had a street ministry in Brooklyn, New York, where he would try to bring the homeless population and gang members to Christ.

“I’d ask them, ‘If you were to die tonight, do you know where you’d go?’ I’d go up to gang members and ask that and they’d say, ‘Why, what do you have planned?’”

Before moving to Utah, Swope served as the pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Erie, Penn. He worked to open over night shelters for the homeless and struggled to attract young people to the church, a popu lation that has distrust in organized religion.

As congregations age, church populations are dwindling, but at BCC, Swope wants everyone to know they are welcome, either as a worshiper or a visitor.

“I think we’re going to be a safe haven and our numbers will always be small. We won’t ever be a megachurch. I know many people who have megachurches and it’s isolat ing and I think that’s why some people don’t like that,” he said. “During the pandemic, I had a lot of challenges. I knew instinctively to be positive and uplifting, because it was a negative time. I started preaching love. Unity is love. The trappings of our exterior differ ences are just part of the grand tapestry of God’s work of humanity.”

Swope also enjoys having conversations with people who might not understand the

church’s message. He had a neighbor com plain about the church displaying a rainbow flag, showing support to the LGBT+ com munity. Swope explained that the teachings of Christ were inclusive and how the BCC welcomes any person searching for love.

“He said, ‘I thought God brought me here to teach you and correct you, but God’s teach ing me,’” Swope said. “I love to see people’s hearts change. We have inaccurate perceptions about each other. If we take down that little shroud of darkness then we’d see the light.”

Swope is also a seminary-trained exor cist. He has worked with paranormal inves tigators, writers and production companies around the world. He is the author of several books covering supernatural events, haunted houses and possession and said there is a huge demand for information when it comes to the unfamiliar.

“Christians are sort of afraid of it. It’s the lure of the unknown and the forbidden. There are forces out there that are not explained,” he said.

The BCC is located at 150 N. 400 East with church services held on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and refreshments. A special candlelight service will be held on Christmas Eve that the community is invited to attend. For information about the church, visit uccbccchurch.org.

“We always put our politics in our religion and that’s what kills it. When we stop looking after others, it’s a trap,” he said. “It’s not your dogma, it’s your heart, and what is that heart? It’s love. This church accepts anybody, everybody and just loves them. I’m going to be here for the rest of my life. I love my people and my people love me and it’s just great.” l

Tolman Elementary named National PTA School of Excellence

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—The National PTA has selected Tolman Elementary as one of 242 schools in the nation and one of nine in the state as a 2022/2023 National PTA School of Excellence. The award is the result of a collaboration between school leaders and the PTA with support from the community to create a partnership between families and the school.

“During the enrollment period at the end of the school year we had to decide on a project to help improve the school,” said Tolman PTA President Matt Jenkins. “We had to show our ideas and how we’d do it. Then we presented the project and they selected a winner.”

Jenkins said the PTA committee sent out a survey at the school for ideas of a project they could do. “Getting more male involvement rose to the top and then we de termined how we could reach that goal. We decided to create an opportunity for dads or

other father figures to come to the school during recess and act as role models.”

They could come spend time with their student or other students to play games or whatever they’d like to do, he said. “We created a sign up online for every day of the week. They could sign up for morning or afternoon or both. Last year they had to get a background check so that made it a little bit difficult. They had to be really commit ted. It’s easier this year.”

There were three dads that came reg ularly, said Jenkins. “We’re hoping to get more involvement this year.”

The National PTA sent a banner and the Utah PTA presented the award, he said. “It was the best morning so far.”

More community involvement is what makes a school great, Jenkins said. “The added support from the community takes us to a whole new level. We want people to experience what’s happening at the school before forming an opinion. Come and see.” l

Mr. and Mrs. John S. White returned Friday from a two weeks’ outing in Idaho. They spent a few days at Lava Hot Springs on their way up; visited friends in Pocatello, and Blackfoot and with their daughter, Mrs. C.C. Tolman and family, at Firth. The North Central Sunday school held a Jubilee, Sunday.

It looks as though the male cohorts who have been struggling to maintain their illusion of sex superiority would have to throw in the sponge and take the long count. It was bad enough to have voting booths, barber shops, offices and smoking rooms invaded by the conquer ing feminine horde. But, now comes the devastating news that women threaten to outpoint men in football conversation too. From no less an authority than Chris ty Walsh head of the all-American Radio Football Show, who probably knows more famous coaches and football ex perts than any man in gridiron circles. “Woman have superior aptitude for football strategy,” says Walsh who travels 30,000 miles in football season to get the viewpoint of the fan in the bleachers. “When they make the football boners that are the basis of so many jokes it is usually to flatter the ego of some male escort.”

A jury of five men and three women, Thursday had awarded $275 to Mrs. Josephine McGuffey of North Salt Lake as a price for .47 of an acre of land, instead of that $50 offered by the Bam berger railroad company of Salt Lake City. The case was heard in the Second district court at Farmington and testimo ny offered revealed the land was worth much more than was offered.The 32-foot wide acreage is wanted by the railroad company on which to build a transfer track form the Denver and Rio Grande tracks eastward so that shipments to defense planes in north Davis county can be accelerated.

A tree that hopes to become a telephone pole must be a good solid specimen and exemplary in such matters as girth, straightness and height. It must belong to the proper family and must be able to “take it” during the years it serves tele phone subscribers. H.E. LaBelle, man ager of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, said only the best trees will make the grade this year. They’ll loose their branches and bark, get “machine-shaved,” submits to boring for bolt holes, and planing for crossers, and get a preservative treatment that makes them unpalatable to carpenter ants, ter mites and wood peckers and resistive to the ray-ages of fungi and wood diseases. The transformation will take place under the watchful eyes of inspectors for the Western Electric company, support to the Mountain States Company and the Bell System. Poles that come up to standard are then purchased by Western and

launched upon communications careers.

A question on whether Bountiful has tried to go too fast on its curb and gutter and sidewalk district this year was posed recently by Councilman L.F. Eckman. It looks like we tried to shove too much in the mill this year, he told the council. There have been some difficult problems that have required more time to finish than anticipated. This is especially true in the 4th North and 8th East area. Some sidewalks cannot be installed on 8th East because a large amount of fill had to be put in around some of the creeks. This will not have time to settle so concrete can be poured, he said. I am going to be criticized for this, he continued. People will say Larry Eckman gets out of in stalling sidewalk because he is on the council, he said.

1972

Parents and taxpayers of Viewmont students are cordially invited to attend the first production of the current season “Once Upon A Mattress” to be presented in a first run, reserved seat (at this school) engagement, November 8 through the 11th at 8 p.m. The production has a “G” rating, so bundle up the family and enjoy the first rate performance of the View mont theater class. Just a reminder, the elections will be over, the football team will be well into State play-offs and you do deserve an evening of weather free entertainment. Plan to treat yourself and your family to this special event.

1982

Former City Councilman Larry Eckman spoke out after last Monday’s special council meeting had adjourned. “I think the council has miserably mishandled this whole situation,” he said, referring to the council’s action to rescind its vote to allow private development of a 100-unit hotel on a two-acre piece of property on the southwest corner of 500 South and 500 West. “You had a private developer ready to begin construction and then you killed it (project) I think it’s a shame.”

1993

A 38-year-old Clinton woman is in fair condition at Ogden McKay Dee Hospi tal after being injured Wednesday in an auto/train collision, police reported. Teri Bertagnolli suffered a broken hip, head trauma and numerous lacerations when the car she was driving was struck by a train at the 1800 N. crossing, said Clinton Police Department spokesperson Ranee Johnson, who was an eyewitness to the accident. “I could hear the train whistle,” she said. “The lights began flashing and the barrier came down. There was a car coming east on 1800 North towards the tracks and it wasn’t slowing down. I thought the person was going to go around the barriers and try to beat the train.” But Bertagnolli apparently was unaware of the train. Her car crashed through the barrier, breaking it off and stalled in the middle of the tracks.

Voting for candidates instead of political parties

The editor of an election magazine sighs. “Somewhere in the past 20 years, compromise became a dirty word,” he says. A Republican strategist agrees. “We’ve gotten to the point,” says Glen Bolger “where you’re either voting for the red team or the blue team.” Extreme partisanship has taken over.

BY BRYAN GRAY

a “head count” tax based on the number of employees, a for mula that hadn’t been updated for 30 years.

A regional anti-tax group applauded the city for “taking input very seriously” when developing the plan.

That’s why I was heartened last week during a trip to the Bay Area to read that more liberal Democratic-lean ing cities were working with Republican-ori ented business communities to reach fair, equi table compromis es on tax increase proposals. Generally, business owners and their representatives fight tooth-andnail against any tax increase, threatening to fold up their tent and move to more tax-friendly states and communities.

But according to an analysis in an Oakland daily newspaper, “It appears carefully-crafted compromises with the business communities have helped ward off strong opposition to new taxes across the region.”

In Palo Alto, for instance, a levy on square footage of office buildings was pared down after meetings with employ ers who agreed not to oppose the tax which still could cost large companies as much as $500,000 annually. The result: $8 million additional for affordable hous ing and public safety.

In Los Gatos, the home of Netflix, the city council passed a business li censing tax mostly applicable to a mere handful of companies. Said the mayor, “We told them what we were trying to do and they told us what they thought would be acceptable. We don’t want to scare businesses from our town.”

Likewise, in Santa Clara city officials involved business leaders in modernizing

Too bad Congress can’t take the same vision. In fact, one of the only true leaders in the U.S. Senate is Sen. Mitt Romney who championed compromise in a visit to a Utah community last week. Touting passage of Pres. Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, Sen. Romney –one of only a few Republicans voting for it – noted that Utah was already benefitting from the initiative to modernize roads, bridges, transit, and broadband.

“A group of Democrats and Republicans came together and said, ‘Hey, let’s cut back the couple of trillions of dollars…let’s cut it to about one-quar ter of that size and focus on real things we need to do.’ We were pretty proud of being able to work together.”

If we all heeded the wisdom of aging rock stars (“You can’t always get what you want,” sings Mick Jagger) and stressed compromising instead of demon izing, we would indeed, as Jagger says, “get what you need.” One way to do this is voting for candidates instead of politi cal parties.

In November, I’m voting for sever al Republicans, one Democrat, and an Independent. That’s my contribution to effective governance. And, if elected, these candidates refuse to compromise, I’ll vote to put someone else at the table next election.

‘Black Adam’ entertaining, but

Ends’ disappoints

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Black Adam (in theaters)

This isn’t quite the movie the trailers make it seem.

In this case, though, that’s a good thing. “Black Adam” still has all the ac tion you could hope for, but there’s a lot more nuance to the story than you might expect. There’s real heart here, and may be even a little bit of welcome commen tary about traditional heroes and the less costumed evils of the world. It doesn’t re-invent the superhero movie wheel by any means, but it’s definitely added a new section to the DC universe that I’ll be happy to revisit.

Originally a villain in the Shazam! books (he was referenced in the 2019 movie), Black Adam is moved firmly into antihero territory for the movie. Freed from a mountain by a woman who’s

about to be killed, Black Adam kills the mercenaries who were going to kill her and draws the attention of the Justice Society of America. It also draws the attention of an unscrupulous organization who wants to unleash an ancient power for themselves.

There’s some real tragedy to Black Adam’s story, which isn’t uncommon for superheroes but brings real complexity to some of the character’s more bombastic qualities. His history as a slave, and the subjugation of his country, do the same thing when compared to the very law-fo cused JSA. The movie leavens all this with some moments of welcome humor, though it occasionally leans too heavily on similarities to 2019’s “Shazam” to get that humor.

All together, it’s a pleasant surprise. If you like superheroes, it’s definitely worth your time.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Halloween Ends (in theaters)

It's good to try something different, but not if you do a terrible job at it.

That's the problem with "Halloween Ends," which wraps up the iconic series by shifting focus away from the guy who made it famous in the first place. Instead, far too much screen time is given to yet another version of the standard white male toxic romantic lead, leading to a movie that feels like a half-cooked version of something else. I understand wanting to give the movie a plot, but when it doesn't feel like “Halloween” anymore you’ve gone too far the other way.

Though I won’t bore you with the details, the new potential “bad seed” of the movie is yet another babysitter with a traumatic night on the job. You could have made a really interesting movie building parallels between him and Jamie

Lee Curtis’s Laurie Strode, but that isn’t this one. Instead, the team of screenwrit ers are far more interested in having him date Laurie’s granddaughter and discov ering the depths of how “evil” he is. It’s like they were trying to make reboot bait before the show even properly ended.

Curtis is still fantastic as Laurie, and her performance is by far the most grip ping thing in this movie. Her fight with Michael is satisfying, but as you watch it you can't help but be annoyed we didn't get more of it. This is supposed to be their movie, their series, but instead they get pushed to the sidelines.

Davis County Amateur Radio Club going strong after more than 30 years

By Peri Kinder peri.k@davisjournal.com

For more than 100 years, amateur radio has played a part in the country’s his tory. Since the first wireless telegraph club formed in 1908 at Columbia University, am ateur radio continues to attract new enthusi asts to the unique form of communication.

Larry Claussen is the president of the Davis County Amateur Radio Club which has been around since the early ‘80s. Back then, the club’s amateur radio operators (also known as “hams”) responded to emer gency service situations, helping out when communication systems were down. It’s a role ham radio operators still fill today.

“We’re there to help people commu nicate when nothing else works,” Claussen said. “When something significant happens, good or bad, the first thing we do is grab our phones to tell people. As great and as wonderful as the cell phone companies have been for getting more connectivity out there, there’s always going to be that critical mass where all of sudden, things don’t work.”

With 200 active members in the club, amateur radio operators assist in several ways throughout the county. Members directed parking lot traffic during the Davis Marching Band competition, helping relay information to participants and spectators. The club also helps with communication during the Bountiful Handcart Parade each July.

Lisa Cook has been with the club for five years. After living in Bountiful for

30 years, Cook now lives in Fruit Heights and serves with the Davis County Amateur Radio Emergency Services group.

“When we had the windstorm, I was sitting in a church parking lot, helping to request trucks,” Cook said. “During the windstorm that morning, the cell phones weren’t working right. The reliable commu nication method was radio. Our technology works when nothing else does.”

Cook considers herself one of the babies of the club. As a math teacher in Davis County, she’s even lobbied to have ham radio operating accepted as part of the school curriculum. She works with begin ning operators, getting them comfortable talking on the equipment.

Club members meet on the second Saturday of each month to practice working together and learning the how-tos of the am ateur radio community. Knowing when to talk and when to listen, getting familiar with the war wagon where portable equipment is stored, studying for the FCC licensing exam and learning how to send radio grams are just a few topics covered.

“We practice what we’re doing so there’s discipline,” Claussen said. “The amateur radio community is a fairly signif icant community around the world. We get to know each other and in times of disaster we can act to get messages into the affected area and out of the affected area without using the standard infrastructure.”

Radio grams are popular in the radio community and are similar to old teletype messages. The radio gram bounces from one operator to another until the message

Spending time in nature boosts mental health

By Jared Hawkins Utah State University Extension assistant professor

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, adults and adoles cents in the United States spend over 90% of their time indoors, and the arti cle, “Screen Time Statistics” in Comparitech says the average American spends more than seven hours a day looking at screens. These numbers are not encouraging for getting people outside to enjoy the benefits of nature.

Research shows that too much screen time and not enough time in nature can contrib ute to depression and anxiety.

On the other hand, research has also found that time spent in nature has positive mental health benefits, including reduced stress, better sleep, and greater happiness.

It can be difficult to find time to spend in nature because of busy, day-to-day schedules, and it may seem especially hard to access nature sites in urban areas. Fortu nately, there are several easy things you can do to get out in nature, no matter where you live. Consider these ideas.

• Bring nature inside. Decorating indoor spaces with live plants is a simple way to bring nature to you. You can also let natural light in through windows to brighten your home and provide views of the outdoors.

• Take breaks outside. Even if you only have a few minutes, take a walk or eat a meal outside. Bring your attention to the view of the trees and flowers, the sound of birds, or the feel of the wind to help increase mindfulness and decrease stress.

• Try gardening. Gardening can be a fun way to increase your physical activity and in crease your contact with nature. There are many ways to do urban and planter box gar dening if you live in an apartment or area that lacks gardening space.

• Visit nearby nature sites. Even most urban areas have parks, streams, or public gardens near by. Consider exploring nature near you to have picnics, family games, or other activities. Visiting nearby nature sites is a free or low-cost way to enjoy nature.

• Plan a nature trip. If you want to spend longer periods of time with nature, plan your next trip to a national park, lake, or beach to camp, rock climb, fish, hike, star-gaze, bike, canoe, or a number of other activities.

Whether large or small, any activity that helps you spend more time connect ing with nature is beneficial. It can offer enjoyable alternatives to screen time, help increase your appreciation of the earth, and provide both physical and mental health benefits. l

gets to the right person, all using only the radio network.

Emergency service training is ongoing so club members can assist law enforcement with communications. By providing equip ment, talking regularly with the sheriff’s de partment and encouraging members to get their license, the club is a valuable resource when regular communication systems are down.

“When the time comes, when they

need us, a call comes in and we activate the network,” Claussen said.

“You don’t need equipment to join,” Cook said. “I got involved because I did a testing session. I love knowledge and I love to learn. I think we have to keep learning so I started getting involved.” l

Huge week of football playoffs set for local teams

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

T en weeks of regular-season play have led to the most important part of the year for local high school football teams. This week, the state tournament gets underway.

Farmington and Davis in Class 6A, along with Bountiful, Woods Cross and Viewmont in Class 5A are each preparing now to march toward state titles.

Davis

Things didn’t start off so well this season for the Darts, which were 0-2 to begin the year after a pair of blowouts in which they didn’t score a point. After three wins in a row, Davis dropped a lop sided affair to Syracuse, leaving the team with a 3-3 mark.

Davis won its final four games of the regular season to gain some momentum. In the process, the Darts finished second in Region 1 with a 5-1 mark and went 7-3 overall. Davis heads into the state

tournament as the No. 7 seed. As a result, Davis gets a first-round bye. On Oct. 28, the Darts will host the winner of Kearns and Riverton in the second round.

Last week, Davis notched a big 48-14 victory over Clearfield on Oct. 12. The winless Falcons were no match for Davis, which led 31-0 at halftime. Quarterback Jackson Stevens threw four touchdowns in the first half alone (two in each quar ter), and Gage Butler hit a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter. Stevens hit Josh Barker for a 13-yard score in the first

Bountiful

The Region 5 champs have a firstround playoff bye this week. The Red hawks get the winner of 11th-seeded Orem and 22nd-seed Uintah on Oct. 24 at home. Bountiful is on a six-game winning streak heading into the postseason.

On the year, the Redhawks have used a stellar defense to power the team to an overall mark of 7-2. In nine games, Bountiful allowed just 116 total points, only 12.9 a game. Kaden Mertz has led the team with 49 tackles and three sacks. Jacob Brooks has 46 tackles and three interceptions. Offensively, Faletau Satuala has 24 grabs for 312 yards to pace the team. Kenobi Doctolero is the leading rusher with 85 carries for 385 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Quarterback Owen Geilman has four rushing touchdowns to go with his 319 yards. He has thrown for 998 yards and seven touchdowns.

Woods Cross Woods Cross heads into the playoffs with a 6-4 overall record. The Wildcats were second in Region 5 at 4-1. The Wildcats garnered the 10th seed in the playoffs.

Farmington golf fifth best at state; 3 area golfers All-State in 5A, 6A

FarmingtonFarmington’s

Cole Taylor bounced back from a tie for 24th place after Day One of the 6A state tournament at Talons Cove Oct. 10 to shoot a 69 and tie for ninth and receive All-State honors. His finish helped the Phoenix squad come in fifth on the final day.

Other Farmington golfers playing in state were Ben Ackley who tied for 24th with a 72 and 75, Jack Summerhays 26th, (75, 73), Luke Kelley tied for 33rd (77, 74), Emerson Cahoon tied for 50th (76, 80) and Dax Ander son tied for 63rd (75, 85).

Davis

Max Landon tied for ninth place with rounds of 69 and 73 to finish with First Team All-State honors in leading Davis to a 10th place showing as a team at the 6A state tour nament at Talons Cove Oct. 10-11.

“This was a huge accomplishment for Max as a sophomore,” said head coach Josh Roberts. “It’s also his second year in a row getting a top 10 at state.”

Roberts said a key to the Darts ninth place finish after Day 1 was the play of Jack Christiansen who shot a 73. “That was a huge accomplishment for us to make the cut,” Roberts said. “Coming from last year where we took sixth in region and missed state as a team, I think this was a huge growth year that we can be proud of. We are one step closer to our goals.”

Christiansen tied for 56th with a sec ond-round score of 85 while Luke Simmons tied for 68th (82, 81), Peyton Love tied for 72nd (81, 84), Logan Dent tied for 75th (87, 83) and Alex Fisher tied for 75th (82, 88) also competed for Davis at state.

“I’m proud of the way the boys worked so hard this season and are all bought in to the future of the team and what our goals are next year,” Roberts said. “I think we can do some real damage next year if everyone continues to put in the work in the off-season.”

Roberts also noted the contributions of co-coach Jeff Graviet this season. “He does a lot for the team and deserves some recogni tion,” Roberts said. “We are lucky to have him with us.”

Woods Cross

Jon Howe shot a 4-under-68 the first day of the 5A state tournament at Oquirrh Hills Oct. 10 and was just one stroke back of even tual medalist Jackson Shelley of Skyline. The senior had a round of 75 the next day and tied for seventh, earning All-State honors while also leading Woods Cross to a tie for eighth place overall.

“We played a good round the first day [shooting a 296 to tie for fifth place] in order to qualify us for the second day,” said head coach David Simon. “It was a close day with several teams set up to make a run at the championship. I felt like we were one of them. We had great rounds the first day with Jon’s 68, Jaxon Smith’s 71 and Rex Poulsen’s 76.”

Simon said the course had a much more difficult set up for Day Two which was evident on the scoreboard all the way around. “As a team, we had a difficult time navigating the setup of the course and didn’t score as well as we would have liked,” he said.

Other finishes at state were Poulsen, who tied for 41st (76, 80), Smith tied for 52nd (71, 87), Jacob Connors tied for 67th (79, 83), Christian Bates tied for 78th (82, 84) and Dylan Markisich tied for 87th (85, 90).

“Overall, I was pleased with how our guys performed over the course of the year,” Simon said. “You always want a little more and to be a little better. We had ups and downs

as a team, as well as individuals. Sometimes golf goes that way.”

Simon particularly noted the contribu tions of his seniors. “I was proud of their effort and willingness to put in the work to get better and improve their game,” Simon said. “I don’t think all of that hard work paid off completely during the season. Again, sometimes golf goes that way. They were really hard workers. They have shown the underclassmen what it takes to get to a high level of play and we have expectations that the younger guys will put that same work in to improve their games and keep Woods Cross competing at a high level.”

Bountiful

Bountiful’s Stockton Penman tied for 19th at the 5A state tournament with rounds of 73 and 79. Other Redhawks players who made the cut were Luke Smith, who tied for 57th (79, 80), Isaac Stout tied for 64th (76, 84) and Ty Cottle tied for 66th (77,84).

Viewmont

Viewmont’s Luke Gardner shot a 77 and 79 in the two rounds of the 5A state tourna ment to tie for 41st. He was the lone Vikings player to make the cut and play the second day. l

I just rewatched “Paul” again, and only now noticed the joke about him talking to Steven Spielberg about “E.T.”

they have to get per mission from Spielberg for that?

got more than permission — they got a cameo.

was the actual voice of legendary Hollywood director and film icon Steven Spielberg on a call with the titular alien in the 2011 comedy “Paul.”

For those who haven’t seen the movie, it’s about an alien who crashed to Earth in the 1940s and has been living here, cooperating with the American government, ever since.

There’s a joke partway through the film about how he has influenced world cul ture, with a flashback to him speaking on the phone with a film director about alien biology and how it could be used for a film plot. It soon becomes clear that the direc tor he’s talking to is Steven Spielberg and the plot they’re developing together would become his 1982 cinematic classic “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial.”

“Paul” stars (and was written by) comedy duo Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. Pegg said in an interview with Syfy.com that he and Frost knew Spielberg from their time doing voice work on the director’s 2011 movie “Tintin.” They were working on “Paul” at the

same time and told him about their idea for the joke.

Q: Out of all the reality competition shows — “Big Brother,” “Mas terchef,” “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and so on — which one has the biggest cash prize?

A: Even as the genre has grown and changed over the years, it’s still the old, established ones that pay the most — and not any of the ones that you mention. That payoff appears to cap at a cool million — a round, impressive figure that the highestpaying shows repeatedly turn to (with one big exception).

“Survivor” and “The Amazing Race,” two of the biggest, longest-standing players on the reality competition landscape, routine ly give $1-million prizes to their season

winners. This is also true of relative new comer “America’s Got Talent” (which debuted in 2006, five years after “The Amazing Race” and six years after “Survivor”).

An even newer entrant has also joined this club: “American Ninja Warrior” has been giving out million-dollar prizes to its winners since its seventh season in 2016.

There’s been one big exception to this million-dollar rule. The 40th season of “Survivor,” an all-star edition dubbed “Winners at War,” doubled the number, awarding its winner, Tony Vlachos, $2 mil lion.

Celebrity Profile

A fixture of house holds across North America in the 1990s, Mexican American comedian and actor George Lopez has been a busy man. From his start in stand-up comedy to his self-titled sitcom, which ran from 2002 to 2007, Lopez is a recognizable face whose sense of humor is beloved by many. He now teams up with his only daughter, Mayan Lopez (“Mr. Troop Mom,” 2009), for a new sitcom on NBC. “Lopez vs. Lopez,” the first Latinx father-daughter sitcom on TV, begins Friday, Nov. 4.

Described by showrunner and executive producer Debby Wolfe (“The Conners”) as “’Gilmore Girls’ but with the Lopezes,” “Lopez vs. Lopez” follows a fictionalized version of the father-daughter duo as they tackle the perils of daily life in a working-class family. Confronting issues such as alcoholism, therapy, mental health and immigration with a comedic edge — in true Lopez style — the series also stars Selenis Leyva (“Orange Is the New Black”), Matt Shively (“The Real O’Neals”), Brice Gonzalez (“Real Husbands of Hollywood”) and Laci Mosley (“The Wedding Year,” 2019).

Born April 23, 1961, in Mission Hills, California, George Lopez is of Mestizo Mexican descent. Following a rough decade in which he was deserted by his father and, later, his mother, Lopez was raised by his maternal grandmother, who was a factory worker, and his step-grandfa ther, who worked in construction.

Needless to say, while his upbring ing was not exactly a conventional “happy family,” Lopez found levity in the dark times and graduated from San Fernando High School in 1979. His experiences growing up would go on to fuel a lot of the material for his comedy routines, which he began performing in the ‘80s.

Johannes (John) Floisand “graduated” from earthly life on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022, in Bountiful, Utah. He was 90 years old. He was born Sept. 18, 1932, in Bergen, Norway, to Ivar Martin Floisand and Agnes Marie Rasmussen Floisand. He was the fourth of seven children. His brothers and sisters were Willard, Elna, Lizzie, Amy, Harald, and Trygve.

John grew up in the beautiful coastal town of Bergen, Norway. His life was rich with family heritage, adventure, and history. But things were tough for their family while grow ing up. They lived in a small apartment and struggled to make ends meet. The kids did what they could to help earn money for their family. When John was almost 8 years old, on the morning of April 8, 1940, the people of Bergen awoke to learn that foreign troops had invaded during the night. These Nazi soldiers introduced a new lifestyle, governed by stern military laws. This new lifestyle painted the future dark and grim for everyone in Norway. Any travel or communication out of Norway was cut off. For the members of the Church, this meant that all communication with the Prophet and the Church was cut off as well. The branch president blessed the saints in Bergen that they would be protected if they continued to live the gospel of Jesus Christ to the best of their ability. Because of this inspired promise and their righteous living, the Lord protected the saints in the Bergen branch from harm during those five war years. John told many interesting stories of the war, some of which were shared in past issues of the Church News.

John was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on Oct. 27, 1940. He noticed a pretty little blond-haired girl with pigtails, who was getting baptized on the same day. Who would have guessed that 18 years later and halfway across the world he would end up marrying that pretty blondhaired girl!

His family emigrated from Norway to the United States in 1948. His mom, sisters, and youngest brother left first, then he and his dad and other brothers followed on a later ship. He was very seasick on that trip across the Atlantic. Once while hanging his head out the window of the ship to throw up, someone else from an upper deck unknowingly was doing the same thing and threw up all over his head.

His family settled in the Rose Park area. John decided it was time to get a job, and eventually was hired at a restaurant up by the University of Utah. Unfortunately, he did not speak a lot of English yet, so communication was difficult especially with his supervisor. She was unaware of the language barrier and was very tough on him. Later, he got a job delivering office supplies around Salt Lake City. He really enjoyed this job because he got to drive around all day. Then his mom told him he needed a better-paying job – which he did. Years later he retired after having a long career at Eimco. He worked in the research and development department and was able to travel throughout the country. Before he was married, he joined the National Guard. Soon after, he was drafted into the Army and deployed to serve in the Korean War, though his unit was stationed in Germany. While serving in Germany, he finally became a citizen of the United States. During his deployment, he was assigned to a mobile mechanic shop, where he used his skills on tanks and trucks, etc. When his mil itary leaders learned that he was Norwegian, they immediately put him on the 7th Army Cross Country Ski Team, competing with other Army and Air Force units. He loved this adventure! He participated in many competi tions throughout the beautiful mountains of Europe. In one competition, he took second place while finishing with a broken ski pole.

Following his military service, John recon nected with the pretty blond-haired girl after she too had moved to Salt Lake City. She stayed with his family in Rose Park until she was able to get a job and find an apartment. By then, John was smitten. He pursued a relationship and eventually married his sweetheart, Orlaug Berith Folkedal, on Nov. 20, 1958, in the Salt Lake Temple. Together they raised their family of eight children in Bountiful. While their children were young, they enjoyed packing everyone in their van and traveling to Yellowstone or Washington to see family. Once someone happened to glance inside the van while at a gas station

and exclaimed, “How many kids DO YOU HAVE in there?”

They loved watching their family grow and have a special love for each member of their family – especially their grandchildren and great grandchildren. They are known as grandpa and grandma great. Oh, how he loved his grandchildren! He was so proud of each of them. When they were young, he fre quently bounced them on his knee and sang to them. His favorite song to perform was, “How Much is that Doggie in the Window.” As the grandkids grew up, he proudly followed their accomplishments and they each always held a special place in his heart.

John was an honest, kind, caring, and compassionate person. He had a deep love for his family heritage and enjoyed doing family history work. He and Berith sub mitted countless names for temple work over the years. He served in several Church callings over the years and was a faithful home teacher throughout his life. Along with family history callings, he also loved working with the Boy Scouts – taking them camping, biking, etc. His children often joined him on the activities. He was very talented at fixing things. He was so good at fixing up old stuff that the kids were sometimes disappointed because they never got anything new! John’s talent for mechanical work was passed down to some of his children and grandchildren. Even on his last day, he commented that the warranty had expired on his parts, and it was time to move on.

John passed away peacefully on Thursday, Oct. 13, 2022, after a precious day spent with his family. He “graduated with honors” and is now enjoying a wonderful reunion with his parents and siblings. He is survived by Berith, his beautiful bride of 64 years, and eight children: Linda (Steve) Shirley of Midvale; Mike (Stephanie) Floisand of West Valley; Heidi (Warren) Stuart of Layton; Harald (Kona) Floisand of Kaysville; Lisa (Jason) Moseley of West Jordan; Steve (Leslie) Floisand of South Jordan; Judy Bee Floisand of West Jordan; and Jim Floisand of Bountiful. They also have 19 grandchildren and 21 great-grandchildren, with one more on the way. John was preced ed in death by his parents and his siblings.

Funeral Services will be Tuesday, October 25, 2022, at 11 a.m., in the Val Verda 3rd Ward building, 2651 South 500 West, Bountiful, Utah. A viewing will be Monday evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at Russon Mortuary, 295 North Main, Bountiful, and Tuesday morning from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. at the church prior to services. Interment will be in the Bountiful City Cemetery.

Services will be streamed live on the Rus son Brothers Mortuary Facebook page and on their obituary page.

she let the beaver go but she was very Angry and that Night, When her husband had gone to sleep, she ran away.

the next morning the Hunter saw her Tracks in the snow and feeling badly about their quarrel, decided to follow them. as he followed the tracks, They gradually changed and became the tracks of a Skunk. the trail ended in a Marsh where there were many skunks.

he turned and went home but called the Place, “The Place of the Skunk” and it is where chicago now stands.
