Cold War veterans recognized for their service

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SYRACUSE—Parades and programs honor veterans on Veter ans Day but there is a group of men and women who served but are standing on the sidelines and often overlooked. These veterans are part of the Cold War. The time between 1947 – 1991. A period of geopo litical tension between the United States and the Soviet Union and their respective allies, the Western Bloc and the Eastern Bloc.

“Russia had broken up but we were still in conflict with the Soviet Union,” said Larry Kerr, U.S.A.F Retired and Vice Chairman Board of Directors for the Utah Cold War Veterans Foundation. “We never had an actual war so it became the Cold War. These veterans kept the military at bay. If they hadn’t this wouldn’t be the world we know today.”

Kerr conducted a ceremony Oct. 21 at Syracuse City Hall to honor about 50 veterans with a Utah Cold War Victory Medal and certificate. “The Utah Legis lature decided to honor vets with a medal and did a ceremony in 2017 at the Capitol Building,” he said. “They dropped the funding so my wife decided to take it on. We were honoring a lot of vets from Tremonton to Delta and all over. It kept growing so we decided to start a committee.”

The committee members are called the Blue Shirts, said Kerr. “We’re all volunteers. We try to assemble as many vets as we can find. We’ve honored over 917 vets and plan to break 1,000. We’re reaching out as best we can and as fast as we can. Many are passing away.”

The program included a

demonstration on the proper way to fold and flag and the significance of each fold. Kerr also explained the meaning behind each item on the Fallen Comrade Table. “It symbolizes those who perished on the battlefield who are missing and have not found their way home,” he said. “The table is set for one for the prisoner who is alone against the oppressor. The white table cloth is for those who responded to the call of arms. The rose symbolizes the blood shed and the family of the fallen or missing that miss them every day. The red ribbon represents a love of country. The

lemon stands for the bitter fate of those that were never found. A lighted candle illuminates the way home from their captors. The in verted wine glass means they can’t toast with us. The overturned chair is to remember they are no longer with us.”

Syracuse City has offered City Hall for these programs for the next five years at no cost, said Kerr who presented a plaque to Council Member Seth Teague in appreci ation.

“This shows what you mean to us,” said Teague. “My grandpa died in Vietnam. This is a small,

small token of our gratitude for the sacrifice you have given.”

The program finished with the pinning of the medals and presen tation of the certificates followed by Taps.

“Some of these veterans have never received a medal like this,” said Kerr. They didn’t know it existed. We’ve had young children accept the medal for their father or a grandchild for their grandfather. It makes you cry.”

All medals are paid for by donations. For more information or to make a donation visit victory medals.org. l

Not many surprises on Election Day

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—Unofficial election results show voter turnout at 52.51% in Davis County with 100,759 ballots cast. Some races were close while other candidates were running unopposed.

In a hotly contested race for the U.S. Senate, Sen. Mike Lee won over opponent Evan McMullen to retain his seat. Congress men Blake Moore and Chris Stewart were also victorious. In the Utah State Senate races, all three incumbents won including Senate President Stuart Adams.

Utah State House Speaker Brad Wilson defeated Ammon Gruwell by more than 6,000 votes. In a controversial race for Utah House District 16, current Rep. Steve Handy ran a write-in campaign after losing the Republican nomination at convention to Trevor Lee. Handy lost to Lee by less than 2,000 votes.

Winning ticket sold for record Powerball jackpot

Lottery officials announced on Tuesday that a winning ticket to the $2.1 Billion dollar jack pot had been sold in Altadena, California. The winning ticket, which matched all the white numbers as well as the Power ball number, was sold at Joe’s Service Center. More than 11.2 million tickets were sold that resulted in $98 million dollars in winnings, including 22 tickets that won $1 million each.

Largest Fish ‘Ever Weighed’ comes in at 6,049 lbs

An ocean sunfish, the largest bony fish in the ocean, was recently hauled in off the Azores and smashed weight records at over three tons. While whales are the largest marine animals, and sharks are generally the heaviest cartilaginous fish, the ocean sunfish has long been a monster of its own dimensions. Scientists who examined the fish after it had been landed explained that the existence of such a large example of the species is a hopeful sign of the health of the marine ecosystem to sustain such a fish.

T. Rex skull to be auctioned at Sotheby’s

A six and a half foot T. Rex skull was recently unearthed in South Dakota. The skull, named Max imus, is slated for the auction block after its anonymous owner decided to sell it. Many, if not most, fossils are generally sold to research facilities and muse ums, though there is a chance the item could end up being purchased by a private collector.

Blood Moon appears

A total lunar eclipse will occur on Nov. 8, though it may not be visible locally due to weather. The moon should be visible at just after 1 a.m. if clouds are not in the way. In the case of a total eclipse, the moon is fully within the earth’s shadow, which is what creates the effect.

Catalyst students help veterans tell their story

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—The sacrifice the men and women in the military have given to keep the nation free is sometimes forgot ten. The Veterans History Project is a way to remember and the students at the Davis Catalyst Center are helping in the effort to preserve those stories.

Congressman Blake Moore is part nering with the Library of Congress to archive veterans’ experiences and protect their stories for generations to come. The Catalyst Center is providing the audio/vi sual equipment and students to create these interviews.

“Congressman Blake Moore came to visit us,” said Natalie Stromberg, Catalyst Business Development Coordinator. “He asked us to work as business partners. The kids learn technical skills but they’re hear ing cool veterans’ stories as well. It’s tender to both hear and see the veterans.”

Moore’s office sets up the veterans who come but if students have a veteran they know they can do an interview too, she said. “Blake interviewed his dad here. It’s kind of overwhelming for the veterans but it’s empowering. It gives them a sense of reality and they feel important.”

The interviews can go up to four hours, said Stromberg. “But we let them talk as long as they want to.”

Professional interviewers sit down with the veteran and encourage them to talk about their life and service, she said. “They receive training at the Layton Library and some are from Weber State.”

The students also make straight videos of the interview and make them into a documentary for the family, Stromberg said. “The audio/visual team works on that and mixes it up to get good quality.”

“We have a pool of volunteers to help

with the interviews,” said Anthony Coombs, veteran affairs for Congress Blake Moore. “They have an oral history training in early October. They do a pre-interview with the veteran and then the Catalyst Center records the actual interview.”

Coombs said the Catalyst is a great partner. “There is no funding so an organi zation like this is what makes it possible.”

Veteran William Huber took part in the project. Huber served during the U.S. Panamanian transfer in the signal core. His father and grandfather served in the military and set the example of service. “I have a Civil War rifle and other memorabilia,” said Huber during his interview. “My dad never talked about the war even though they were in the thick of things.”

Huber said one time his dad and uncle had gone into the den and he was in there just listening. “I was about 12 or 13 years old. My dad started opening up about things he’d never talked about. His unit had been put on R&R in France when they were called to active duty. There were no trucks available so they had to walk. It took over 100 miles in less than three days to get to the Front.”

When they got there they engaged with the enemy, he said. “They found a bunch of GIs that had been lined up against a wall and shot. They found that some of them had survived so they evacuated them to get medical support. The Germans were slaugh tering people.”

Huber grew up during the Vietnam conflict and was living near where protests were taking place. “I was in high school and I didn’t have an appreciation for what was going on. That’s when they instituted the draft. We had to either take gym or join the ROTC. I was selected to receive one of their scholarships which meant I had to serve for four years in the military. I decided that it would be better to do that and have more control over my life and my

family had stepped up to the plate to serve their country.”

Huber is one of 18 interviews that Catalyst students have done. “We started at the beginning of the semester and we’ll continue to interview throughout the year,” said Stromberg. “The students have learned so much. It’s been a cool opportunity for them.”

Syracuse High senior Cameron Kohler works on the video side of the project at the Catalyst. “Audio sets up the mics and we do the camera set up,” he said. “We get to edit them and then send them (Moore’s office) the edited footage.”

“We get to hear their stories,” said Jack Neese, a senior at Syracuse High. “One

Concurrent Enrollment takes students to another level

By Kaii Crockett Davis Journal Intern

CE or concurrent enrollment classes are college level classes that can be taken in high school to earn college credit early. Concurrent enrollment classes offer both college credit and high school credit allowing the student to earn dual credit.

Like AP courses, CE courses are more challenging than regular high school courses, but CE students are not required to take the end of year pass or fail test that AP students are required to take to receive credit for the class. All the students must do to receive credit is pass the class. However, CE credits only apply to colleges in Utah, and some schools are picky about which credits they will or will not accept.

Signing up for CE classes is effortless, students sim ply sign up for CE classes as they build their schedule for the next year with their counselors. When the class starts, students register through the college for that class as a CE class and pay a $30 fee. “CE provides prepared high school students with a challenging and rigorous college-level expe rience,” said Christy Perkins, the CTE coordinator at Woods Cross High School. “The program allows students to become better prepared for the world of work or to complete general education courses needed for any college major and the great thing is, you can save time by earning both high school credit and college credit at the same time.”

Perkins said students who take CE classes in high school

can save on average $1,000 per course. “Who wouldn’t want to save money and time?" questioned Perkins. "Another great advantage is that you get a sneak peek of how college works, and you can explore a potential college major.”

College costs a fortune compared to the small $30 fee required for CE courses. Not only are CE classes an in vestment toward a student’s education, but they are also an investment toward future savings. On average an associate degree has a net cost of around $10,950. High schoolers can save thousands of dollars by applying themselves in high school.

High schools offer a variety of CE classes beyond core classes like English, math and science classes; there are art classes, welding, nutrition and even child care classes. There is an abundant amount of CE classes, and a class for every one. “I think CE classes are really great because students are able to choose how much they want to do,” said Natalie Paget, senior at Woods Cross High School who will get her associate degree this coming May when she graduates. “Some students will only take one CE class while others might take enough to get an associate degree. Either way, people are still getting a head start on college and saving money. In my life, they have relieved so much stress I’ve had toward paying for college. I honestly wish I would have taken more CE classes.”

Students can take up to 30 college credits a school year and can earn their associate degree if they work hard. “CE classes have a college curriculum, but with more time,” said

veteran told us about something that hap pened by chance that saved his life. He was supposed to get aboard a jeep but he had the feeling he should take the ferry. Later that night the jeep was destroyed. They all share different experiences and we hear the ways the vets have gone through what they have.”

Cooper Christensen works on the video recording during the interviews. “I get close up shots and work the main camera,” he said. “I really enjoy it. It’s super interesting to hear their stories.”

“It’s opened my eyes 100 percent,” said Kohler. “It’s good to hear their experiences and what they lived through in their every day lives. I appreciate that.” l

CE classes really open a window for students to get ahead in life and have their feet planted in the right direction.” l

Marching bands find success at state, national competitions

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

ST. GEORGE—Davis County schools had a good showing at the Red Rocks State Marching Band Competition in St. George over the weekend and also competed in Bands of America (BOA), a national contest against other schools in surrounding states.

Davis High finished second in the 6A division at state and took second place overall in the BOA competition. Farmington High finished in fourth place at state in the 6A division and ninth in BOA. Viewmont also competed in state, taking 13th place in the 5A division.

“We have continued to improve our show,” said Davis High Marching Band

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

Director Michael Crookston. “Our theme is ‘Crescendo to the End,’ a musical nod.”

In some of the shows we placed fifth in state, he said. “We continue to get better and make changes in production to make sure the show is something we’re content with. We’re in a very competitive division. At BOA we were close to winning the whole thing.”

During the BOA performance, the band had a technical sound problem that caused a delay. “It’s something you always worry about,” said Crookston. “But we continue to learn and get better. It’s tough for the kids because they’re sitting out there as instru ments get cold wondering what’s going on.”

They learn what a live show is, he said. “There are variables that you don’t know

about. If you respond with a clear mind you will be rewarded for it.”

The band has 154 members on the field, Crookston said. “That’s about on par with last year. Six years ago we had well over 200 but we lost some when Farmington High opened. That’s what it has historically been but this is a healthy size group.” l

Life-changers help students fulfill their dreams

KAYSVILLE—Shane Goodbar was struggling with addiction and mixed up in crime. Emaly Merchan had come to the United States from Columbia and didn’t know English. Although they have very different backgrounds both individuals have had their lives changed by people who have taken them under their wing. Davis Technical College (DTC) Founda tion honored some of these outstanding individuals at a Life-Changer Luncheon on Oct. 20.

“I was looking at 15 to life,” said Goodbar. “I started at the Red Barn Acad emy. It’s a two-year program for addiction and criminals, overall people making bad decisions. I’ve learned to love myself and be proud of who I am. I don’t need others' validation. I know my value now.”

Goodbar is now the general manager of Sticky Bird, a restaurant run by Red Barn. “The judge told me he would stay my sentence and gave me the opportunity to go to Red Barn. If I keep up my end of the bargain and complete the program it goes away and I’m no longer on parole.”

The Red Barn program isn’t easy, he said. “Honestly I’ll tell you one night almost kept me from staying at Red Barn. Everybody has a day when they say ‘it’s too hard, they don’t know me.’ You have to do hard things and be uncomfortable and learn to manage your emotions. I was doubting myself and didn’t know how I’d get through the rest of my life.”

Goodbar said he was broken. “I re alized I had to change my life to become the best person I could be. I’m motivated

by my (Red Barn) brothers and Mike Haws who runs the program. Men who are further in the program. Guys like me who have made bad choices, broken the law, just knuckleheads. They’ve found a different life. You can see a peacefulness behind their eyes. I did everything I could to do what they were doing.”

DTC has a relationship with the academy and provides programs for men there. “It gave me not only a chance to further my education but also reach my dreams,” he said. “Marcie Valdez (DTC Foundation Director) and the teachers have done so much there to continue to help me better myself. It has just been amazing.”

Goodbar is in the welding program there. “Welding is something I’ve always wanted to do,” he said. “I’ll always be a part of Red Barn but one day I want to own my own shop. Ever since I was a kid in a sandbox I’ve wanted my own shop.”

Emaly Merchan is almost finished with the dental assisting program at DTC.

“When I got here two years ago from Columbia I could only speak Spanish,” she said. “The language was a big barrier. It was so hard.”

Merchan said she was introduced to DTC when her father had a pain in his mouth and went to Pantry Smiles to get dental care. Pantry Smiles is a program to give dental care to those who cannot afford it. Students in the dental assisting program at DTC work at the clinic with volunteer dentists.

“I went with my dad and sister,” she said. “My sister talked to one of the teachers and she said ‘why don’t you come here?’ I didn’t know anything about English but we decided to go together to

DTC.”

Merchan said she studied a lot. “I was scared at first but once you get to DTC they’re super nice even if you’re differ ent. My teachers helped me a lot to learn everything.”

Cathy Turnbow (lead dental assistant instructor) was the best one, she said. “She helped me all the time. She made me feel like I could do something. If she saw that I was struggling with something she’d give me other resources to improve my language.”

Cathy would always be there for everyone, said Merchan. “If you had any questions she’d answer them for you. My sister and I love Cathy and we’re grateful for her efforts.”

Merchan is doing an internship with a local dentist. “Everything they ask I al ready know because I learned it at DTC. I have everything I need for my career. I’m super grateful for DTC. It's changed my life. It’s been a dream to come here.” l

A young and untried fireman was serv ing at his first fire and the chief, rush ing up to him, shouted: “climb up the ladder to the 8th floor, crawl along the corner to the fourth window, drop down three floors and catch that wooden sign you see smoldering. Then swing yourself along to the second window, break the glass, and go in and see if there's anyone about – Well, what are you waiting for?” “Pen and ink,” said the new man. “I want to hand in my resignation.”

The Bountiful State Bank passed the million dollar mark on November 9, 1942. The bank was organized in 1906 and through good times and bad has had a steady growth. This has been due to the loyalty of its customers and the desire of its officers and employees to serve this community.

In celebration of Red Ribbon Week, students at Boulton Elementary School in Bountiful each got to plant a red tulip. The tulips are being planted en masse in beds in front of the school. The Boulton PTA, who sponsored the project, prepared the ground and then each class came outside and each student planted one bulb. Principal Elizabeth Beck said the school staff and the PTA feel the project will present a lasting reminder to present and future students as they see their red tulips blooming each spring that "it's hot to not" use drugs.

North Salt Lake City Council approves increase in compensation after nearly 10 years

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

North Salt Lake—The last increase in compensation for the North Salt Lake City Council was discussed in September 2013. With that date being nearly 10 years ago, the council had the opportunity to review an ordinance to increase this com pensation to be more inline with current standards.

During the Nov. 1, 2022 city council meeting, there was an item of business in the regular session to discuss this need to increase compensation for the council and the mayor. Each council member was giv en the opportunity to discuss their point of view on the ordinance. While some deemed a proposed increase a problem, everyone agreed that the current council compensation was too low and out of date.

Councilmember Alisa Van Langeveld said it would be helpful to consider whether this was wages, compensation or a stipend. She said one safety issue was that individuals could find her home ad dress which was a cost that could not be offset by higher compensation. She stated another consideration was the number of hours each individual served each week.

Every council member also expressed their concern with passing an increase during their elected time period. Coun cilmember Van Langeveld even stated that she was concerned with public perception of the council setting their own wages.

There was also an opportunity for a public hearing. However, with only four community members in attendance, including previous Mayor Len Arave, no public comments were given. It also

stands to say that there were no comments from the community against the proposal for this compensation increase.

Almost all of the council was seat ed (Councilmember Ted Knowlton was excused and Councilmember Lisa Watts Baskin was present via Zoom) in cham bers during the discussion. So, after a brief discussion about the low current compensation for the mayor and city council, Councilmember Baskin suggest ed a proposed increase.

She moved to approve Ordinance 2022-08 to increase the salaries and stipends and Councilmember Stan Porter seconded the motion. However, Coun cilmember Natalie Gordon felt the pro posed amount was too high.

The council approved the ordinance with a vote of 3-1, so there will be an increase in compensation to $27,000 per year ($2,250 per month from $1,600) for the Mayor and $14,000 per year ($1,166.67 per month from $700) for city council members. These changes will be effective starting the 2023 fiscal year.

During this same meeting, the city council also voted in favor 4-0 in passing the proposed purchase of pumps for Wild Rose Trailhead Park, 1100 North and Fox Hollow Park for the state contract price of $93,100. Due to leaking issues, corroded cabinets and other water pump problems, each pump will be either upgraded or replaced as needed.

Specifically for the Fox Hollow Park, a new pump is needed as the irrigation requires more water flow. The council mentioned that this cost will not include the installation or care of the new pumps, but they will do what they can to keep those costs as low as possible. l

Adaily host on KSL

Radio regularly claims that Americans aren’t really too far apart politically due to their shared values. From my conversations with both Democrats and Republicans, I have scoffed at the KSL analysts. To my mind, there is a wide gulf based on education and lifestyle.

BY BRYAN GRAY

Last week Republican columnist David Brooks was in my camp. In a well-reasoned column, he said the underlying structure of society has changed with Americans “sorting themselves out by education.”

Surveys and voting patterns clearly show that Democrats have lost their hold on working-class men and women, especially white voters but also leakage on work ing-class Latinos and Blacks. Warehouses are filled with Trump voters, whereas high-rise offices are home to Democrats. The Demo cratic base is now college-educated Ameri cans and Asians (who also fall into the most educated of all minority groups).

Brooks notes that many think Dem ocrats have lost working-class voters by not focusing on economic issues. But he explains that idea is too simplistic. Americans with and without college degrees not only have different views on the role of government but on almost every other aspect of lifestyle.

“They have different relationships to patriotism and faith, they dress differently, en joy different food, have different ideas about corporal punishment, and of course, race. You can’t isolate the difference between the two classes to one factor. It’s everything…People have put up barricades and perceive the other class as a threat to what is beautiful, true, and good.”

There is certainly an economic ingredient in the political stew. Inflation, for instance, hasn’t hurt airlines, the hospitali

ty industry (high-end restaurants and hotels) or banks – all industries favored by college-ed ucated patrons who are generally immune from sticker shock on gasoline and eggs. And when it comes to the “culture wars,” the college-edu cated and those without stand on different protest sites.

The KSL host can say all he wants about all of us wanting the same thing for families and our neighborhoods. But we don’t – and we don’t live in the same neighborhoods and ZIP codes either!

The Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Andrew Sean Greer also viewed the political chasm in his newest novel (“Less is Lost”).

“America, how is your marriage?” he asks. “Your two-hundred-fifty-year prom ise to stay together in sickness and in health? First, 13 states, then more and more, until 50 of you have taken the vow…Did you ever dream of being on your own again? Never having to be part of someone else’s family squabbles? Never having to share a penny? Tell me honestly, because I have contemplated marriage and I wonder: If it can’t work for you, America, can it work for any of us?”

We have become a nation almost as tribal as any Middle Eastern or African country. When the 80-year-old husband of the Speaker of the House is brutally attacked and suffers a severe brain injury, one tribe is gleeful and falsely speculates that it could be a homosexual attack while the other tribe points its finger at the hatred stemming from Trumpism.

Issues and fairness don’t matter as much as to which tribe you belong.

Bryan Gray, a long-time Davis County resident, is a former school teacher and has been a columnist for more than 26 years in newspapers along the Wasatch Front. l

Consider this

I f someone were to ask you to list some of your favorite mo tivational statements that make it possible for you to remain positive and optimistic, what would be your response? If you were to teach a class on how to remain stable in the midst of the confusing challenges of life, what would your top 10 prin ciples be? And if you were to give a talk on problem-solving and life-management skills, where would you begin?

JOHN WATERBURY

The world seems to be under attack right now, and unless we’re prepared to step forward with confidence and self-as surance, it would be easy to be over whelmed by the confusion and darkness. With this in mind, I want to share some basic ideas that may be useful in manag ing the uncertainties of life. The more prepared we are, the greater our success will be.

To begin with, begin every day with a fresh start. Regardless of the mistakes or missed opportunities of the past, every day is a new beginning. When we look at the world this way, the odds are in our favor that we’ll find a way to move beyond our old patterns. Define yourself and be true to yourself. So where do we start? We get to choose our course. Decide to be proactive and don’t settle for less. The truth is that we have to practice to become the person we want to be. Expect to make a difference. If we expect to fail, we will. Whether we think we can or can’t, we’ll be right. Decide to live a life that matters. Start with little things and build. We’re in the midst of mortality. Accept that mistakes and down-times will occur for everybody. Remember, practice, practice, practice. Examine your life, define your life, and live your life. The world will accept whatever choices we make, so make the best choices now. Attitudes are more im portant than circumstances. We can move beyond what we used to settle for; we

can rise above our old fears; we can create new attitudes. Don’t try to repress your old negativity by yourself; turn it over to God. He knows what you’ve been through and He knows how to convert it into something beneficial. When your past makes you sad, depressed, or angry, ask yourself what God wants you to learn from it. Look for guidance. His Grace is sufficient. Everything is purposeful and preparatory. Everything! Focus on what you can affect. Don’t try to change everything all at once. Success is based on “line upon line, precept on precept.” Take back your power. Let the past pass away. Give yourself permission to move beyond it. Others have been prepared to be brought into your life to assist you in this transition. The choices of the past will lead to something better, but only when you’re ready to move on. Identify your thinking errors, challenge them, and replace them with something better. We don’t have to stay stuck.

Literally, we can begin now to create a brand new ending to our story. For as Elder Jeffrey R. Holland wrote: Be peaceful. Believe in God and in yourself. You’re doing better than you think you are (end quote).

Brothers and sisters, may we all find joy in the journey.

Thanksgiving and a lifestyle of saying thank you

Thanksgiving is coming and it’s never out of season to say thank you.

Say thank you to your local politicians. The majority of those who pursue an office lose. Losing is tough and usually expensive. Thank them for their interest in your commu nity or state and for the time they gave making their case and pursuing votes.

Our world would be better if we all said thank you and please as often as possible. Amazingly many people don’t know how to say thank you or please.

If someone does anything for you, say thank you. Even if they haven’t necessarily done it for you but are helping others then say thank you. Thank your community leaders, teachers, politicians, clergy, this media source, family, friends and anyone who is somehow positively impacting your life.

Teaching our kids to say thank you and to say it often is well worth our time for us and them.

Here are some thank you notes from Reader’s Digest, RD.com June 2023:

About 15 years ago, we purchased a dining set from an older couple after seeing their ad. When we went to pick it up, it was

apparent to me that the lady was having a hard time seeing it go, although it hadn’t been used for many years. On Thanksgiving, I set the table, took a picture and sent it to her, saying we were thankful to be enjoying the beautiful set.

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Black Panther: WAKANDA FOREVER’ an incredible movie

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

The Black Panther is dead. Long live the Black Panther.

If you worried that the Black Pan ther movies would lose their magic after Chadwick Boseman’s death, then worry no more. “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever” is a powerful, deeply emotion al epic, equally satisfying on a personal, political, and comic book level. T’Chal la may be gone, but the real story of Wakanda is only just beginning.

The movie opens with the immedi ate aftermath of T’Challa’s death, then fast forwards a year to a world where other nations are trying to steal Wakan da’s vibranium. Their quest soon turns to the ocean, dragging in a brilliant young scientist and a mysterious under water nation. When tensions rise to the killing point, it will mean life and death for both Wakanda and the world as a whole.

Namor and the Black Panther have only ever interacted a handful of times in the comics, so when I first heard that he would be premiering in the sequel it initially seemed like an odd fit. (He’s best known as an enemy/ally of the Fantastic Four). In director Ryan Coogler’s hands, however, Wakanda and Namor’s kingdom become such pro found parallels that their inclusion not only becomes logical but essential. The only way these two stories could have possibly been told is together.

Of course, there are far more than two stories being told here. In addition to the stories of two nations, both torn between alliance and war, there’s the story of two leaders weighing their need for vengeance with the respon sibilities of their kingdoms. There are several different stories of grief, how healing comes and whether it’s even possible. There’s the introduction of Riri Williams, the true successor to Iron Man, and the story of a young woman

realizing the real impact of her inven tions. Coogler weaves them all together beautifully, creating a whole that is so much more than the sum of its parts. The cast also does wonders for bringing the story to life. All the re turning cast is fantastic, but it’s Letitia Wright who really steps into the spot light as Shuri. No longer the sarcastic little sister, she’s a woman balancing her own crushing grief with the safety of the world. She’s angrier then her brother, a nicely highlighted tie back to Michael B. Jordan’s Killmonger, and is equally capable of using science as a stepping stone or a weapon.

Tenoch Huerta is a revelation as Namor. In the comics, the character is a white guy with wings on his ankles, terrible fashion sense, and an inexpli cable fondness for blondes. In Huerta’s and Coogler’s hands, however, he’s an ancient Mezzo-American king who has a very reasonable hatred for land-walk ers and knows the value of a true ally.

He’s still as arrogant as ever, but he’s also desperate to take care of his people. They even managed to make the winged ankles seem intimidating.

(Seriously, Marvel. If you genu inely want to make a Fantastic Four movie that works, you should seriously consider getting down on your hands and knees and begging Coogler to do it. I’m not sure he’d even want to, but anyone who could transform Namor like this could also make the Fantastic Four movie the MCU is clearly desperate for.)

Right now, though, we should all be grateful he made “Wakanda Forever.” Go watch it as soon as you can.

Celebrating a culture surrounded in tradition and inclusion through Dia de los Muertos

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—Although Dia de los Muertos was celebrated Nov. 1 and 2, Norma Carver wants to encourage every one to understand the importance of this celebration. Her culture celebrates this holiday every year and decorates graves and sets up ofrendas (altars) to help the living celebrate the lives of those who have passed.

From the dances and fantastic cloth ing to the amazing food, Carver enjoys sharing everything she can about her culture. Carver, originally from Oaxaca, Mexico, loves to share her heritage with everyone in the community. “We have a lot of beautiful clothing, dialects and wonderful food that is worth sharing,” said Carver.

Dia de los Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a holiday traditionally celebrated the first two days of November. However, other days, such as Oct. 31 or Nov. 6, are also included in the celebration.

As part of this celebration this year, Carver joined with Kaysville City to set up an ofrenda at the Kaysville Administra tion Building. This display was available for visitors to see during the first week of November as part of the Arts and Culture Exhibit for 2022.

Carver explained that the altar was part of her non-profit organization Oaxaca en Utah. The purpose of the organization is to, “show our beautiful state of Oaxa

ca through the food, tradition, customs, education, dance and love of our Oaxacan people,” says Carver.

Many of the traditions and culture is explained at oaxacaenutah.org, “Oaxaca in Utah began more than 10 years ago, and during that time it was decided in 2020 to carry out the first Guelaguetza; we were seven families that came together and enjoyed our beautiful Oaxaca.”

Carver started Oaxaca in Utah in Jan uary 2022 with the idea of being able to continue celebrating and enjoying her cul ture with those around her. Carver has full support from her husband as she pursues this venture. Both of them want this expe rience to be bilingual so that everyone can understand the culture and celebrations.

While the Oaxaquenos have a large festival in July, they enjoy sharing their culture year-round. “We want to be a lead er in our community and are helping those in Davis County,” explained Carver. The festival held in 2021 only had about 550 people in attendance, their 2022 celebra tion had over 10,000 people show to enjoy the cultural experience. Carver hopes this number will increase even more over time as people continue to learn about Oaxaca.

“We want the opportunity to present our culture to different communities, cities and counties in Utah,” stated Carver. Each time they hold a festival, they look for new sponsors. These festivals have crafts, dances, vendors who sell and show their wares and, of course, food.

As part of the recent Dia de los Muer tos celebration, Oaxaca de Utah was able

to decorate a local gravesite. “It’s special, not only for the one who has passed, but also as a celebration for those who attend,” said Carver. Each grave decorat ing includes food, music, candles and the sharing of stories about the person.

“It is very touching to everyone’s hearts in attendance,” explained Carver. “These celebrations help the person who has passed and those who have lost family

and friends remember their importance.” Carver encourages everyone to come and know who these people are and what they accomplished.

In Oaxaca they always honor every person who has already departed from this life so that they will live on in their hearts forever. They are blessed to honor them and celebrate each person. l

Kihomac leader in manufacturing industry opens its doors to the public

seat on impact rather than a soldier's back.”

The contract is to build 450 seats, said Majewski. “The Navy owns the design and we make it manufacturable.”

LAYTON—A company that started out small and now has a 135,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility near Hill Air Force Base, Kihomac continues to expand its manufacturing of military equipment and is known for its composite work. The com pany has now branched out into medical equipment and light rail parts. The secure facility opened its doors for public tours last week.

“Ki Ho Kang founded the company in 2003,” said Matt Majewski, Kihomac Vice President Strategic Markets. “They were doing work on the A-10 aircraft for the Air Force. It went from a small team of engineers and tech support for the Air Force and has grown to sites in Utah, Georgia and Oklahoma City that are all located by an Air Force base. In Texas we do software. There are offices spread out across the U.S.”

Over the years, Kihomac has done more and more work on aging aircraft, he said. “The parts are just wearing out.”

Kihomac also has a new contract with the Navy for a helicopter gunner seat, said Majewski. “The seat is one of the largest Navy contracts,” he said. “It prevents injury or a broken neck of airmen in the MH60 Blackhawk. It has a shock absorption sys tem that allows the force to be taken by the

Kihomac has also designed body armor, he said. “We started creating body armor several years ago from an employ ee’s suggestion. We looked at the market and we had the capability to do it so we did the research and it developed into that. We made several different armor plates for the Army and the Navy facility wanted to buy the body armor so we have a contract with the Navy.”

The armor is light weight so that it can be ditched at sea, Majewski said. “We’ve also developed a female specific body ar mor plate that is more comfortable but still has the same capabilities.”

BYU patented an idea for origami folding armor shields so Kihomac is also manufacturing that, he said. “We sent 128 shields to Cache County to be used for protection of teachers, administrators and students. It’s part of the school safety initia tive for a grant to improve safety at school. We helped them win the grant.”

In addition, Kihomac developed soft ware under the Dir-S name that connects all administrators, teachers and organizations to use in real time, said Majewski. “It pro vides situational awareness through an app to identify where they can be safe or not. Such as in a fire they can see an area that is

unsafe or safe.”

Kihomac also manufactures a structure that holds the rest of the X-ray equipment in a medical setting and parts for light rail trains in California, he said. “We continue to grow and expand into new markets, not just defense. We have more and more to of

fer, especially in composites we’ve broken into that market.”

Majewski said Kihomac is veteran owned. “We have 35 percent of our employ ees who are vets.” l

With Halloween now over, I am thinking to myself, what are viable options to do with ALL THAT PUMPKIN I have decorated with! I actually posed this exact question out loud to my household of adults. It was my internationally cultured son-in-law that offered the suggestion of – Calabaza en tacha. I had never even heard of it – and with pumpkin !? It is actually a Mexican comfort food that is served not only in the fall, but for “el dia de muertos” (the day of the dead). It is a candied pumpkin – and when served with warm milk – the most comforting food I have eaten in a very long time.

So, grab one of those pumpkins from the front porch and give this a try. I promise you a wonderful international experience

Bountiful volleyball third at state; Davis and Woods Cross top 10

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Bountiful

The defending 5A state champion entered the 2022 state tournament Nov. 3-5 at Utah Valley University as the No. 1 seed. After a first-round bye, Bountiful beat Box Elder 25-9, 25-18, 25-11.

Jordyn and Taylor Harvey combined for 25 kills to lead the offense while Evalyn Chism served up nine aces. At the net defensively, Taylor Harvey and Macie Johnson each had three blocks while Elle Burleson recorded 15 digs and Chism added 10.

In the quarterfinals against Timpano gos, the Redhawks won 25-14, 25-9, 25-14 behind 16 kills from Jordyn Harvey, 11 from Taylor Harvey and nine from Claire Cook. Jordyn Harvey and Johnson both served three aces with Burleson’15 digs and Taylor Harvey’s five blocks leading the defense.

Against a “very talented” Timpview team – the eventual 5A champion – in the semifinals, according to head coach Sarah Chism, Bountiful lost 25-21, 16-25, 25-22, 21-25, 15-8 in a two-and-a-half hour match.

“After our heartbreaking loss to Timpview, our girls picked themselves up and took the floor one last time. They were physically exhausted but mentally able to will themselves to win against an excel lent team and left everything they had on the court,” said coach Chism. “Honestly, I couldn’t be more proud of this group of girls. We have always been known as a physical team that has a lot of athletic abil ity, but this tournament showed that when you have those physical setbacks in life,

you can reach deep and play with heart.”

Jordyn Harvey had a monster match with 39 kills and 27 digs while Taylor Har vey added 18 kills and 26 digs. On defense, Burleson had 22 digs and Evi Chism and Cook had 11 and 10, respectively with Johnson and Satuala both recording five blocks each at the net.

The Redhawks finished with a 29-2 overall record while losing just 10 sets the entire year.

Jordyn Harvey led the team with 480 kills and 270 digs while Taylor Harvey had the highest hitting percentage – at .471 percent – along with a team-high 86 blocks.

Evi Chism served 57 aces and recorded 1,005 assists, eclipsing the 3,000 career assists mark this season and ending with 3,333.

“These girls are all amazing,” coach Chism said. “Our seniors took the team on their backs and saw it to the end. Players stepped up in big moments and the bench cheered to the end. It was a great season and will always be remembered as one of my favorites.”

Davis

After a first-round bye in the 6A state tournament, No. 5 seeded Davis lost to Weber 25-20, 25-22, 25-21 Nov. 3 at Utah

Valley University.

Aubrey Nielson put away nine kills while Loryn Helgesen (eight kills), Leah Clark (seven) and Brinley Bush (seven) –along with Aimee Larsen’s three aces – also added offense for the Darts in the loss. Defensively, Helgesen had three blocks at the net with Brinley Bush and Nielson recording 12 and 10 digs, respectively, on the back line.

In the consolation bracket, Davis beat Farmington 25-23, 25-20, 15-25, 25-22 behind Nielson’s 18 kills. Bush (12 kills) and Helgesen (10) were also key on offense while Helgesen and Nielson both had four blocks for the Darts’ defense. Four players had double figures in digs, led by Cambria White with 22, Bush with 18, Nielson with 14 and Larsen with 10.

Against Copper Hills, Davis outlasted the Grizzlies 25-22, 23-25, 18-25, 27-25, 15-7 with 20 kills from Nielson, 16 from Helgesen and 10 from Bush and three aces from Larsen.

“That was definitely a highlight from state for us,” said head coach McKay Bark er. “Copper Hills is an awesome team and they have had a lot of success this season. It was so fun to watch our team come out so strong and aggressive in set four and five.

Farmington surges to state football semifinals; Davis falls in quarters

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Only four teams remain in the Class 6A state football tournament. Farmington is among the elite group.

The Phoenix advanced to the state semifinals with a 19-3 victory on the road over American Fork on Nov. 4. For the fourth-seeded Phoenix, it is the furthest they have advanced in the postseason in their young history as a program.

The win over American Fork was a showcase of excellent defense, tying the fewest points the team allowed in a game since surrendering three to Bountiful on Aug. 19. In fact, the quarterfinals win was the second consecutive playoff victory for Farmington in which it has allowed fewer than 10 points. The Phoenix triumphed over Weber 36-9 in the second round.

Against American Fork, Farmington held its opponent scoreless until 3:05 left in the game when the Cavemen connected on a 35-yard field goal. By that point, the Phoenix were already up 19-0. Farmington allowed just 162 on the day while putting up 306 yards of its own.

After a scoreless first quarter, the Phoenix got on the board with 8:07 left in the second quarter. Travis Hoopes crossed the goal line from 2 yards out to put his team up 6-0. In the third quarter, Farming ton scored two touchdowns to put some distance between it and American Fork. Easton Wight threw a 20-yard touchdown pass to Adam Stucki halfway through the third quarter. After a missed point, it was 12-0 Farmington. Then, in the final seconds of the third quarter, Hoopes plunged in from the 1-yard line. A successful point after kick made it 19-0.

Hoopes had a workmanlike 30 carries for 102 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Phoenix. Wight had 180 yards and a touchdown on 17 of 25 passing. Mitch Nielsen had a pair of catches for 76 yards, while Dominic Coats had three catches for 30 yards. On defense, Luke Hansen had an interception and seven tackles. Teammate Jed Judkins had four tackles and two sacks. Things now get a lot tougher for the Phoenix as they advance to the semifinals. Next up is a matchup with top-seeded and perennial state power Corner Canyon. The game will take place this Thursday at 11 a.m. at Rice Eccles Stadium on the campus of the University of Utah. An upset win there would move Farmington to the state championship on Nov. 18 against either Skyridge or Bingham.

Davis

The Darts had a chance to make it two Davis County teams in the semifinals. Unfortunately, they had a tough task against second-seeded Skyridge.

Davis fell last Friday 47-22 in the quar terfinals. Skyridge got off to a quick start and never looked back, as Davis found itself in a 20-0 hole at the end of the first quar ter. The Darts got on the board late in the third quarter in what was a wild last three minutes. Tyson Elkins scored on a 5-yard touchdown pass from Jackson Stevens. Sky ridge then countered with two touchdowns in the next two minutes to make the score 33-7. But Davis ended the half in dramatic fashion as Stevens hit Easton Baggett for a long 72-yard touchdown pass with just four seconds to play in the half. This long play closed the gap to 33-13, as the Darts missed the extra point.

There weren’t as many fireworks in the second half, as Davis didn’t score again until halfway through the fourth quarter. Gage Butler hit a long 52-yard field goal with 6:08 to play in the game. This was sandwiched in between a pair of Skyridge touchdowns. The Darts made the final tally a little closer when Baggett scored his second TD of the game. This time it was on the ground, as he reached the end zone on a 23-yard run.

Stevens had another big game. The ju nior quarterback had 299 yards passing and two touchdowns on 32 of 43 passing. Elkins was his favorite target, as he hauled in 14 catches for 109 yards. Baggett added 108 yards on nine grabs. Carter Dorius led the defense with eight tackles. Davis struggled in the run game, generating just eight net yards.

Davis ended its season at 8-4. l

Multi-state boys volleyball qualifier to be held next week

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

O

n Nov. 18-19, nearly 90 boys club volleyball teams from seven states will compete in the seventh annual Utah Boys Volleyball AAU Super Regional to qualify for the AAU National Tournament in Orlando, Florida next summer.

Club GSL Director Warren Van Schalkwyk has been heading up a “massive effort” by countless people to host this event. “To be running a tournament of this size, in four locations, with seven states and 86 teams is just surreal,” said Van Schalkwyk. “We are so grateful to the entire volleyball community, including coaches, administrators, parents and athletes for all their tireless work and help.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL has been increasing in popularity in Utah for years and now they are becoming a bigger player in hosting tournaments. The AAU Super Regionals will be held in four locations in Utah Nov. 18-19 with the Boys Junior Nationals coming later next summer.

talent,” said head coach Kate Hawkes.

Woods Cross

We had three players with double-digit kills and Cambria White continues her awesome defensive performance all season.”

On defense, Helgesen and Bush com bined for 13 blocks with White getting up 29 digs, Bush 20 and Nielson 12, contribut ing to the team’s 76 total digs.

In the sixth/eighth place match, the Darts lost to Corner Canyon 25-13, 25-20, 25-22.

Helgesen – who ended the year second in the state in hitting percentage at .446 –put away seven kills along with Nielson to lead Davis on offense with Helgesen stuff ing four blocks at the net. White recorded 12 digs and Bush added 10 defensively.

Larsen ran the offense at the state tour nament with 159 assists in the four matches.

“There were so many successes this season,” Barker said. “It has been so fun to see these girls develop as individuals and teammates over the season. As coaches we would like to thank all the seniors for dedi cating so much time and energy to our team this season; things definitely would not be the same without them.”

The top 10 finish for the Darts conclud ed a 23-9 season.

Farmington

Farmington came into the 6A state tournament seeded 13th and faced No. 20 Roy in the first round, beating the Royals 25-9, 25-13, 25-19 Nov. 1.

Sophie Wendt led the Phoenix squad with 11 kills while Mele Fiefia added eight kills and also served up four aces. On defense, Jocelyn McQuivey and Lydia Schwemmer had double figures in digs with 16 and 11, respectively.

“Our girls gave one-hundred percent effort in this match and truly showed their

In the second round, Farmington took fourth-seeded Skyridge to the brink before falling 25-27, 25-20, 25-21, 23-25, 16-14 Nov. 3 at Utah Valley University.

Wendt had a double-double with 20 kills and 20 digs to lead the team with Ellie Pace recording 12 kills – and Fiefia and Kenna Liwanag recording three aces each – to also pace the offense. Wendt’s four blocks at the net were tops defensively while the team produced 121 team digs, in cluding McQuivey with 37, Fiefia with 26, Schwemmer with 16 and Liwanag with 13.

In its final 3-1 loss against, Wendt had 19 kills and 19 digs with Fiefia also having a double-double with 15 kills and 16 digs. On defense, Laina Whitney had four blocks at the net with McQuivey (30 digs), Liwa nag (14) and Schwemmer (10) recording double-digit digs for the Phoenix.

Liwanag and Wendt ran the offense at the state tournament with 64 assists each in the team’s three matches.

“Our group was the true definition of a team,” Hawkes said. “They stuck together through the ups and downs, supported each other no matter what, and played with all their hearts.”

Farmington finished the year with a 15-13 record.

“I want to acknowledge the seven seniors [Fiefia, Liwanag, McQuivey, Schwemmer, Wendt, Maggie Humenansky and Marissa Marchant] that helped to create an atmosphere of love, effort and motiva tion,” Barker said. “Throughout the season, they battled to earn a spot on the varsity court and challenged and pushed each other to make our team better than when we started. I am proud to be the coach of such amazing student-athletes.”

Viewmont

Viewmont defeated Uintah in the first

round of the 5A state tournament 25-10, 2517, 25-17. Liza Montalbo led the Vikings with 11 kills while Vanessa Haddock added seven. Macey Christian and Montalbo combined for nine aces from the serving line while Christian ran the offense with 20 assists. Defensively, Christian recorded seven digs to lead the team.

For the third time this season, View mont faced Northridge – this time in the second round of the tournament – and although the Vikings were hoping for a dif ferent outcome this time around, they again lost to the Knights 25-22, 23-25, 25-17, 18-25, 15-13.

“The match really could have gone either way,” said head coach Cathy Hope. “We won the fourth set with the momentum on our side and then had a slow start to the fifth set and just couldn’t catch up.”

In the consolation bracket, Viewmont lost to Park City 17-25, 25-22, 25-20, 2624.

“That was a hard loss,” Hope said. “After the first set, I thought we would beat them in three for sure. Then, our setter Macey was struggling with a migraine and needed to sit out most of the second set and really just didn’t feel well the rest of the game. That hurt us going into the second match and we just really couldn’t get back on top. It was a hard way to lose, especially looking at the brackets. I feel like we could have gone through and finished off in sixth place, but there are some battles you can’t fight and illness is one of them.”

The Vikings finished the season with an 11-14 record.

“Overall, our season had a lot of bumps in the road,” Hope said. “They are a great team, in fact some of the best talent I’ve ever coached. Those graduating [Christian, Montalbo, Berklie Adamson, Taylor Hope and Ashley Veach] will be missed for sure!”

Woods Cross defeated Payson 25-15, 25-16, 25-19 in the first round of the 5A state tournament before losing to Mountain View 25-14, 25-18, 25-19 in the second round.

In the consolation round, the Wildcats beat Cedar Valley 25-21, 25-17, 25-17 behind 17 kills from Olivia Ruy with Akilisi Pahulu and Avery Poulton adding seven kills each.

Ruy also served five aces for the offense with Dani Brey leading on the back line with 17 digs and Ruy adding 10. Avery Poulton stuffed three blocks at the net to also contribute on the defensive end.

Wood Cross outlasted Orem in a slug fest 25-20, 23-25, 26-24, 19-25, 15-9 with Ruy recording a double-double of 22 kills and 17 digs.

Poulton added 16 kills while Brey and Millie Oscarson had four aces each. Brey led the defense with 18 digs.

In the sixth/eighth place match, the Wildcats lost to Park City 25-21, 24-26, 25-14, 25-20.

“We headed to UVU ranked 15th,” said head coach Josey Hilton. “I wanted the girls to make memories, give one-hundred percent effort and enjoy the moment. We ended eighth in the state for 5A, beating some really good teams.”

The Wildcats ended the season with a 15-17 mark.

Managing Grief in the Holidays

By William G. Hoy

Holidays in grief can be particularly challenging with familiar and sentimental sights, sounds, and smells reminding us our loved one is not here. Because this period of the year is built around relationships, a death in the family can make these weeks very difficult. But rather than attempt to just “grope our way” through these special days, there are ways to grow personally through the holidays as grief becomes transformative for us.

Saying goodbye to a loved one is anything but easy, especially if well-meaning friends and family members expect you to just “get on with your life.” Allow time and space for grieving and crying this holiday season. Keeping a journal can provide a vital opportunity for reflection during the holidays. These weeks will not be the same as before because of the “empty chair” at the table so the pain is inevitable.

A list of favorite holiday activities might be quite lengthy but make that list anyway. The list might include many holiday traditions such when the house is decorated, when and where worship takes place, and in whose home the family meals are shared. Though it is impossible to do everything “just like when Mom was here,” you can evaluate what you do for the holidays and determine, with your family’s help, which of those traditions you want to preserve.

In evaluating holiday traditions, consider creating something new. Lighting a special candle, purchasing a unique holiday decoration, providing gifts to a needy family, or hosting an international student can become meaningful holiday traditions.

Well-meaning friends or family may want you to attend parties and gatherings, hoping to “cheer you up” but take control of your schedule and do only as much celebrating as you feel ready to do. Choosing which events to participate in acknowledges that grief is a tiring experience. Even under the best of circumstances, holidays can be taxing so attempting to attend every event, party, or celebration may bring about total exhaustion. Instead, say “no” to some well-intentioned invitations.

Simply remind friends, “My energy level hasn’t returned to where it was before he died; thank you for understanding my need to decline.”

Pay close attention to physical well-being, too. Adequate rest, good nutrition, and moderate exercise is essential for the grief process. Lean meats with fresh fruits and vegetables are better choices than sugar- and fat-laden treats. If your health care provider approves, a brisk walk or other moderate exercise can help you feel better physically and emotionally. And eating a healthy diet coupled with moderate exercise is a remedy for insomnia for many mourners.

Be sure to consider the spiritual aspects of life, too. Because holidays have spiritual roots make sure to include time for worship and reflection during this period. Volunteering to help others or making a memorial contribution is a meaningful way to put feet to faith during the holiday season.

While it is inevitable to face pain at the holidays, following these suggestions can help bereaved individuals and families find transformative growth during this special season of the year.

Q: I’ve gotten hooked on that New Zealand show “Wellington Paranor mal” on CW. When is it coming back?

A: Unfortunately, “Wellington Paranormal” has gone on to the grave. But unlike so many of the perpetrators they chase on the horror-mockumentary series, it likely won’t rise from the dead. It was announced well ahead of Season 4’s debut in New Zealand that this would be the show’s final season.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Jemaine Clement (“Flight of the Conchords”), who created the series along with fellow writer-director-actor Taika Waititi (“Jojo Rabbit,” 2019), said the pair were “pausing” the show after Season 4 — partly because they have a million other projects going on at the same time — but that pause now seems permanent.

Waititi is busy being Hollywood’s lat est it-boy (he directed and wrote “Thor: Love and Thunder” earlier this year and will reportedly direct a Star Wars film in the near future). Clement, meanwhile, has roles in all three of the Avatar sequels currently being produced or planned, among other projects. The pair are also hard at work on a new season of their other paranormal mockumentary show, FX’s “What We Do in the Shadows.”

The similarity between those two shows is no coincidence. Both “Wellington Paranormal” and “What We Do in the Shadows” are spinoffs of Clement and Waititi’s 2014 film version of “What We Do in the Shadows.” “Wellington’s” two cops, O’Leary (Karen O’Leary, “The Eggplant”) and Minogue (Mike Minogue, “Hunt for the Wilderpeople,” 2016), appeared briefly in the film.

Q: Remember the sitcom “227”? Was that a spinoff of “The Jeffer sons”?

A: Despite the presence of Marla Gibbs as a sardonic, level-headed wit on both shows, “227” is not a spinoff “The Jeffersons.”

Gibbs played Flo, the housekeeper, on all

11 seasons of the classic sitcom “The Jeffersons” from 1975 to 1985. The year it was canceled, “227” premiered, starring Gibbs as the matriarch of a family that was part of the community living in a mid-rise apartment building in Washington, D.C. Gibbs produced and co-created the lat ter, slice-of-life sitcom, placing herself in the straight-woman role, commenting on and grounding the wackier antics of those around her — much like her role on “The Jeffersons,” but there was no direct story connection. In fact, “227” was based on a stage play of the same name (though the play was set in Chicago instead of Washington).

Celebrity Profile

By Christina McIvor TV Media

With almost 90 film and televi sion credits to her name, it’s more than likely the average viewer has seen Jennifer Beals in multiple roles over the past 40 years. From her breakout role in the feel-good dance romantic “Flashdance” (1983) to her long-run ning portrayal of Bette Porter in “The L Word” and “The L Word: Generation Q,” she is one of the most prolific actress es in Hollywood today. The third sea son of “The L Word: Generation Q” pre mieres Sunday, Nov. 20, on Showtime.

Born Dec. 19, 1963, in Chicago, Beals was inspired to become an actress after working on a production of “Fiddler on the Roof” during high school and seeing Joan Allen (“Pleasantville,” 1998) in a perfor mance of the play “Balm in Gilead.” She attended Yale University, where she graduated with a bachelor’s of arts in American literature in 1987.

Her film debut came with the teen comedy “My Bodyguard” (1980), but Beals’ role was uncredited. She would become an overnight sensation with her leading role three years later in “Flashdance” as Alex Owens, a Pittsburgh steelworker who dreams of being accepted into a prestigious dance school. The film won an Academy Award for Best Original Song, and Beals herself was nominated for Best Actress at the 1984 Golden Globes.

The most recent, New York City-themed season of the "American Horror Story" anthology series airs its two-part finale Wednesday, Nov. 16, on AMC, tying up a string of murders and disappearances in the Big Apple during the 1980s. Denis O'Hare, Leslie Grossman and Zachary Quinto star.

She later co-starred with Denzel Washington (“Fences,” 2016) in “Devil in a Blue Dress” (1995), about a detec tive (Washington) searching for a missing woman (Beals), and would appear alongside him again in 2010’s post-apocalyptic drama, “The Book of Eli.” These two performances came on either side of her cameos in the hit NBC sitcom “Frasier” in 2004 and a 2007 episode of “Law & Order,” as well as her major role alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) in the 2006 horror sequel “The Grudge 2.”

Carolyn Porter’s obituary, as written by herself. She liked Vics, gum and Diet Coke. Loved her kiddies: Roger, Becky, David, Na talie, Debbie, Mark, Russell and Marci and very much her 20 grandkiddies. And there are more...4 adorable great grandkids with 2 for next year.

Carolyn Lambert Porter was born June 26, 1940, in Salt Lake City, Utah, and passed away from unrelenting cancer on Nov. 4, 2022, at her home in Bountiful, Utah. She was raised in Ogden and attended Utah State University. Married Robb Davis and they moved to California to seek their for tune, which never happened. Instead they were divorced and she married her love, Steve Porter; they just celebrated 52 years, yay!
