Carolers sing in the holiday

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) is inviting the public to give input on a range of potential improvements – known as alternatives –along the I-15 corridor between the US-89 interchange in Farmington and 400 South in Salt Lake. UDOT held one of three open houses last week for those who live and use the corridor to see the alternatives and ask questions.

“We started an environmental study a year ago and last spring asked the public to tell us what they need,” said Tiffany Poco ck, UDOT I-15 project manager. “With that we developed a technical analysis and went through a scoping phase for ideas to meet those goals.”

These alternatives look at improve ments to I-15, area interchanges as well as improvement to the walking and biking facilities, she said.

It’s a more holistic approach on how drivers interact getting on and off, she said. “Those ideas will go through refinement to see what that looks like and use the feed back from the alternative stage next year. We’ll come back in the fall with a draft document of the preferred alternative.” The study will be completed by 2024, said Poco ck. “You should see construction by 2026.”

UDOT initiated the environmental

study because they could see that the area needed to be reconstructed, she said. “We want to make sure that we look to the future and that the project meets the goals for all users.”

There are three options for cities from Farmington to Salt Lake City. “We’ve worked closely with cities along the corri dor,” said Pocock. “They know the commu

nity and they've helped us.”

Pocock said the open houses have been well attended. “We’ve had some great comments. That’s what we need. Feedback is constructive. Everyone has different ideas of what transportation should look like to

Have a Heart Homes makes single mom’s dream come true

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

LAYTON—In a tight housing mar ket, one Layton woman is grateful to be handed the keys to her newly constructed home. It was made possible by Have a Heart Homes, an initiative to help with the critical affordable housing shortage in northern Utah, especially for people with special needs.

The Have a Heart Foundation is sponsored by the Northern Wasatch As sociation of Realtors (NWAOR) and the Northern Wasatch Homebuilders Associa tion (MWHBA). Layton City donated the remnant lot that the home is built on.

“Everyone who has worked on this home has discounted their time and fees in order to assist the family to achieve their dream of home ownership,” said

Stephanie Taylor, President of NWAOR.”

Stuart Smith of Mainline Construc tion in Layton built the home customized to accommodate the family’s needs.

Mainline has constructed 10 previous Have a Heart Homes. “I just like doing this,” Smith said. “Working with subs who discount their fees and getting discounts on materials is just terrific. It makes us all feel really good.”

Amy (actual name withheld) started the application process two years ago. “I qualified because I have a child with a disability, he has autism,” she said. “They usually build a home every year but it slowed down because of COVID.”

As part of the application, Amy had to talk about her own background and her child’s background. “Then we waited and waited,” she said. “They have a committee that reviews the applications and they vote on the one they feel could

purchase the house. In about two to three weeks they told us we could purchase the house. I was so excited I choked up on the phone.”

As a long-term renter owning her own home seemed impossible, said Amy. “I’m a single mom. I put myself through bachelor’s and master’s degrees. This is life changing for us.”

It had to go through the usual pro cess, said Amy. “The home had to be appraised and I had to make a down payment. It was only 3% but it was still a lot. They pay the closing costs and drop the purchase price.”

This all came about in the perfect way, she said. “The home is beautiful. You can see the care and love that went into the home. You can feel it and see it.”

All the hard work is paying off, said Amy. “My son has worked hard too. He’s come a long way with his abilities. He’s a

rock star.”

Amy said she didn’t tell him about the house until a couple of weeks before. “I had to tell him when I started putting things in boxes. We took a car ride and I turned down the road and he said ‘this isn't the way.’ Then he guessed when we drove up. I said ‘I’m buying this house.’ He started crying. It’s unnerving packing things up and realizing this is our home.”

The safety and security this will pro vide is amazing, she said.”The location is perfect. It’s close to family and work and our dog will have a yard to play in.This means the world to us.”

Amy said she is grateful to all those who made this possible. “I want to thank Have a Heart and Stuart Smith. He has a heart of gold. I’m thankful to everybody who had a part in making this dream come true.” l

Pacific Islander women in Utah face many mental health challenges

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

Recently, the Utah Women in Leadership Program hosted a pod cast in partnership with Utah Public Radio. This podcast covered the state of the Pacific Islander women in Utah. The statistics and information given during the podcast were baffling.

In 2021, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute reported, “Utah ranks as the 34th most racially and ethnically diverse state in the nation, with 22% of the state identi fying as other than non-Hispanic White.”

As of the time of the report, the Utah Pacific Islander population has been rela tively stable over time, comprising around 1 percent of the population. Currently, more than 13,900 Pacific Islander women reside in this state. It was explained that this number should stay the same over the

next 50 years.

In relation to this podcast, the Pacific Islander Women group held two community conversations. During these discussions, the women focused on the concerns with mental health and dealing with cultural barriers and access to mental health services.

“We were able to grasp a plethora of knowledge and understanding experi ences and backgrounds from the women who came to these events,” stated Mona Jean Tausinga, one of the hosts of these community meetings. Tausinga also runs a non-profit helping Pacific Islanders and other marginalized communities who are facing challenges with the criminal justice system.

“When we talked with the wom en, many of them are breaking through barriers,” said Tausinga. “We are trying to open up the conversation with guidance counselors.”

“We do research snapshots where we take a topic, and we really try and pull all of the statistics that are out there already, any data that are out there,” said Dr. Susan Madsen, Founding Director of the Utah Women and Leadership Project.

“Some of these Pacific Islander youth are growing up not even believing, because of the environment, that they are smart and they should be able to have those opportunities,” explained Madsen.

The podcast, titled “The Status and Experiences of Utah Pacific Islander Women,” covered statistics from the snapshot published by the UWLP and a conversation with Madsen, Tausinga and Marin Christensen, who was a co-author of the snapshot.

“Overall, Utahns can increase equal ity within the state by utilizing data to recognize the impact of gender and race in our everyday lives,” said the snapshot published at www.usu.edu/uwlp/files/

snapshot/36.pdf. “As we provide greater access and opportunity to all residents, the state can use these data to better utilize the talents, ideas and resources that Pacific Islander women have to offer the state, employers and Utah families.”

“What stood out to me is the amount of inspiring Pacific Islander women that are taking it upon themselves to blaze their own trails,” said Tausinga.

Christensen agreed. “It is important for the Pacific Islander women to use their cultural skills in whatever position they have.”

“Knowing that it was going to be provided to the Utah government was also an added benefit for the women [in the community conversations] because that’s kind of sometimes where it counts,” Taus inga said, adding that the Pacific Islander women and the UWLP are trailblazing wherever they can. l

Sewer district receives $400,000 check from Wattsmart program

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

WEST BOUNTIFUL—The South Davis Sewer District has become more energy efficient and it’s paid off. The district received a check for $402,776 from Rocky Mountain Power last week as part of its Wattsmart program that incentivizes commercial and residential customers to save energy.

“We swapped out a large natural gas compressor with a smaller, more efficient compressor with a variable frequency drive so it’s not using as much power when it starts up,” said South Davis Sewer District General Manager Matt Myers. “Wattsmart came through and looked at the plant’s energy efficiency in wastewater treatment then they identified a compressor replacement.”

Wattsmart is a program Rocky Moun tain Power runs, he said. “They have people who look at a project in an industry or public entity. They pay for improvements through reimbursement after they come back and ver ify the improvement generated the intended savings.”

On another project there were just minor things such as turning the lights out and op erating air compressors at lower settings, said Myers. “That netted us about $9,000.”

The natural gas compressor that was re

placed was 1,400 horsepower before, he said. “The new one is 800. That’s a lot of efficiency there.”

Myers said they spent more than $400,000 on the project but Rocky Mountain does have a cap. “It didn’t cover it all but it covered a good chunk and it saves on our electric bill.”

“Customers can contact us and someone will come out and do an assessment to see where they can save on energy,” said Logan Taggart, Regional Business Manager, Rocky Mountain Power. “We have engineers who have partnered with us to do an analysis and calculate what the savings would be. The sewer district is a great project that will have huge savings.”

Applicants must go through a pre approv al process and submit an application to get the right parties involved in the assessment, he said. “It can be commercial or a business but residential as well.”

Logan said the money for reimburse ments comes from the customers. “A portion of their bill pays for these programs. Being more energy efficient helps us keep some of the lowest rates in the country.”

For more information on the Wattsmart program visit rockymountainpower.net and look under “Savings & Energy Choices” or call their customer service at 877-508-5088.

‘Primordial’ to open in Lagoon’s 2023 season

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—For the last few years guests at Lagoon have watched anxiously as a new ride has taken shape. In 2023 the wait will be over. The ride will open to the public when Lagoon’s season starts in the spring.

“It’s called Primordial,” said Lagoon spokes person Adam Leishman. “It’s a family friendly ride. Children who are 48 inches have to ride with a supervising adult, those 36 inches can’t ride.”

It’s a unique ride, he said. “It’s an interactive, experiential coaster that is one of a kind in the world. I don’t want to say much more because it’s a fun surprise for our guests.”

Leishman said Lagoon is also unique in that they build some of their own rides. “We built Can nibal. We use local vendors for construction and we have an in-house international designer.”

It’s been seven years in the making, he said. “That includes the design process. In 2020 con struction was halted. All of our resources had to go to staying open. Then it picked back up again last year.”

The name Primordial came from employees’ suggestions, said Leishman. “Everyone comes up with weird and funny names and then we pick one and say ‘that’s good.’ We’re family owned, kind of a Ma and Pa shop so everyone is very involved. That’s how it works.”

Lagoon also announced its pricing for the

new season and that has gone up. “Everything that’s happening in the world is the same for us,” Leishman said. “Our operating costs have gone up so we can’t maintain the same prices.”

Leishman said they have a Black Friday deal on a season pass. “It’s $160.95 plus tax. It’s tiered pricing as the season goes on but the maximum price for a season pass is $207.95 plus tax. The maximum price for a single day ticket is $97.95 plus tax.”

People are often surprised that the off season is the busiest time for Lagoon, he said. “That’s the time we are making improvements, rehabilitat ing rides and doing construction. We’re working really hard.”

Lagoon has some iconic rides that can’t be found anywhere else, Leishman said. “The wooden roller coaster was built in 1921 and there isn’t another Terror Ride. It’s one of only four to six dark rides left in the entire world. It turned 50 in 2017 and Dracula’s Castle will be 50 years old in 2024.”

There are three rides that are on the national historic registry, he said. “We don’t like to take rides out. We like to preserve our rides.”

It’s the largest family owned amusement park in the country, said Leishman. “We’re one of few parks that have a picnic area and you can bring food in. There’s a lot of unusual things about Lagoon that we take a lot of pride in.” l

meet their needs. That’s OK, that's what we need.”

UDOT lists some questions the public should ask:

• Improve safety - which alter natives address safety in areas/ways you care about?

• Better connect communitiesdo these alternatives help you better connect to the places you want to travel?

• Strengthen the economy - what do you think of the trade offs be tween the 5+1 and reversible options for I-15?

• Improve mobility for all

users - are there walking and biking connections you saw that work better than others?

“Our aim is to strengthen the economy, connect communities, and improve health and mobility for everyone who uses the I-15 cor ridor,” Pocock said. “Comments, suggestions and feedback from the public are essential to accomplish these goals as we further analyze and recommend transportation solutions for this area of I-15.”

To view the options and provide feedback on the proposed alter natives visit i15eis.udot.utah.gov. Comments can also be made on the UDOT Facebook group. l

BLAST FROM THE PAST

1922

Eight dollars and sixty cents for a shave is expensive even in this day of high prices. But that’s what Buster Keaton had to pay in the production of “The Saphead.” Soap lather couldn’t be used because when the tonsorial artist got busy with the razor, off came Bust er’s makeup as well as the soap. The director finally hit upon whipped cream as a substitute. Double cream at $3.20 a gallon, forty cents to have it whipped at a nearby restaurant, $5 for a profes sional barber, total $8.60 explains the cost.

1932

A talkative Australian parrot gave evidence in police court in Adelaide, Wash., and convinced the judge that its master did not conduct a speakeasy.

1942

Matches were at one time called Lucifers because the sudden flame produced by rubbing an early type of match upon a prepared surface was accompanied by a sulfurous odor. This was supposed to be reminiscent of the infernal regions and of the chief fiend, Lucifer.

1952

The building that housed the Davis County Clipper during its early days was torn down recently. Standing op posite the Union Mortuary, the 54-yearold brick structure was removed to make way for Bountiful’s growth.

1962

As soon as the weather is cold enough, Bountiful should have a spacious skating rink right near the city hall.

Land was leveled last spring, and then used as a ball field. Now sand has been placed over the area, which fronts on 1st East, and spread around as a cushion for a plastic liner which will be placed over the field to hold the water.

The triangular area should provide skat ing space for hundreds.

1972

The Bountiful restaurant, formerly known as the Carriage House, has changed operation. It was recently pur chased by the Plump Turkey, and will feature a chicken take home in front, and a Plump Turkey restaurant in the back. Owners have asked city permis sion to build an addition to the back area, to enlarge seating capacity.

1982

The closest thing to Disneyland now exists at the new Pinocchio’s Pizza Parlor in Colonial Square. The new and innovative family-oriented restaurant opened recently and will have its grand opening soon. Geared to children’s entertainment, Pinocchio’s has a stage with life-size animated characters, in cluding Daniel and the Beetdiggers and Betty Birthday.

Bluffdale man sentenced in DUI crash that killed three

FARMINGTON—A 40-year-old man involved in a DUI crash that killed three people on I-15 in Kaysville has been sen tenced to four prison terms.

According to the Utah Highway Patrol, on June 29, 2021, Myron M. Barlow crashed his pickup truck into a car that was slowing down when a catering truck ahead lost a load of canvas bags.

Stephen Colter, 77, of Healdsburg, Calif. and Ariana Colter, 37, of North Salt Lake were killed. Davis Patrick Langley, 44, Ariana Colter’s husband later died at a rehabilitation center. Stephen and Ariana Colter were the father and sister of “Bridg erton” author Julia Quinn.

Barlow entered into a plea agreement on Aug. 29 of this year and pleaded guilty to three homicide charges and a third-de gree felony DUI charge. In exchange, three other charges were dismissed.

Barlow was sentenced to serve four terms of up to five years consecutively in the Utah State Prison and ordered to pay more than $13,000 in restitution.

Reverse opioid overdoses with Naloxone

The Davis County Health Department (DCHD) wants the public to know that they can help to reverse the effects of an opioid overdose with the legal medication Naloxone (Narcan®).

Having naloxone available allows by standers to help prevent a fatal overdose and save lives. “Naloxone won’t harm someone if they’re overdosing on drugs other than opioids, so it’s always best to use it if you think someone is overdosing,” a DCHD social media post said. “You never know when you might be in the right place to save a life.” Visit utahnaloxone. org to order a rescue kit today.

Teen involved in auto/pedestrian accident passes away

Cyclops takes a look at the 2022 elections

The votes have been counted and the dust (and the mud) have settled. Here is a Cyclops view of the 2022 election:

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

NEGATIVE CAMPAIGN ING WORKS – We particularly saw it in the Mike Lee-Evan McMullin race for the U.S. Senate. As much as people claim they hate negative ads, politicians and the lobbyists understand their power. Prior to the out-of-state produced and funded smear campaign against McMullin, the race appeared to be competitive. The outrageous commercials (calling McMullin a socialist in bed with Nancy Pelosi is as silly as saying Bob Dylan is an opera sing er) were misleading, but effective. There was mudslinging on both sides. McMullin’s late ads claiming Lee wanted to ditch Social Security stretched the truth too, but on the whole, his campaign was more truthful than Lee’s.

DEMOCRATS HAVE DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING VOTER TRIGGER

POINTS – Political analysts have long not ed that Republicans generally campaign on fear while Democrats focus on hope. Sorry Democrats, but fear usually trumps opti mism. Democrats might claim that inflation was easing and that gas prices are cyclical and not at an all-time high. They were tech nically correct when factoring for inflation, but motorists drove by a service station daily and figured the Democrats were either lying or out of touch. The 2022 trigger points were egg prices and a trumped-up fear that border crossings were dominated by criminals packing fentanyl, whereas the Democrats foolishly thought the trigger point was the threat to democracy posed by the Jan. 6 invasion.

DEMOCRATS CANNOT WIN STATEWIDE UTAH RACES – Unless an LDS Church authority runs on the Demo crat ticket, the Party could be 50 years away from winning a statewide race, and gerry mandering has made it improbable that a Democrat can win a U.S. House district. The lone Democrat stronghold is Salt Lake County and its city-based voters. Even with lackluster, under-funded campaigns this

year, the Democrats beat the GOP by 8,000 votes.

TRUMP DAMAGED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY – No matter how much lipstick Trump tries to put on the pig, his support of extremist candidates cost Republicans the Senate majority they should have easily won. (In one case, a House race, Trump endorsed an idiot who said women should not have been given the vote!) Trump’s lack of credibility only energizes Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the obvious 2024 frontrunner. DeSantis is a culture warrior who, like Trump will say anything to get elected, but DeSantis is a more intelligent version of Trumpism.

UTAHNS WILL VOTE AGAINST ANYTHING THEY DON’T UNDER STAND – Legislative leaders didn’t explain why Constitutional Amendment A was good policy.

UTAH WILL BE AN OUTLIER IN MARIJUANA LEGISLATION – With Maryland and Missouri on board, recre ational marijuana is now legal in 21 states representing more than 60% of Americans, and it appears three more states (Minnesota, Ohio, and Hawaii) may legalize it soon. Just as in the case of legalized gaming/lotteries, Utah will resist national trends – and I think a majority of Utahns will applaud being different.

REPUBLICANS ARE GAINING AND LOSING VOTERS – The GOP nationally is attracting a growing number of Latino and Black voters, especially males. However, suburban white women, many angered by recent abortion restrictions, are leaning toward Democrat candidates, canceling out the Republican gains.

BEST NEWS FOR DEMOCRATS –Nancy Pelosi is stepping down from U.S. House leadership, taking away the Republi cans’ most effective target.

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

About a year ago I discussed the concept that we have been in the midst of a journey for an Eternity. Our journey carries a significance that is life-altering and pur poseful since we are developing as children of God. So with this in mind, we need to ask ourselves, “How are we doing?”

Now, I’ll be the first to admit that life can be hectic at times, and that especially during this last year with the world-wide upheaval of the Coronavirus, it might have been easy to become distracted and con fused. Maybe we need to ask, “How are we managing what we’ve been given?” For a while, we might have managed our lives by simply coasting, especially in the midst of uncertainty, anxiety, and hesitancy. But that was then. This is now. I don’t believe

that coasting is going to work very well for us anymore.

I’m aware that even with the best of intentions, our expecta tions have taken a beating, and we may have lost some of our momentum. So, how are we do ing with our expectations now?

Looking at the past, embracing the future

I’m old enough now that to look at me, you’d think I’d seen it all.

I know I thought I’d seen – maybe if not all –quite an awful lot.

But I hadn’t.

IN THIS TOGETHER

BY LOUISE R. SHAW

These last few years have brought things I thought I’d never see. Things I thought I’d only read about in history books. Things that didn’t even seem possible.

You know what I’m talking about.

A world-wide pandemic. A war in Eastern Europe. An attack on our nation’s capitol.

I know those things happened 100 years ago and 80 years ago and 200 years ago, respectively. But I didn’t expect them to happen now.

I thought we knew better.

I’d already seen inflation. Like many who will read this, I’ve survived interest rates much higher than the ones we’re com plaining about today. I’ve seen gas prices go up and go down. I’ve seen energy crises and a Cold War and political upheaval, even assassinations.

My parents lived through a world war, their parents through two.

But my grandchildren, in their short lives, have experienced things relating to the pandemic that I never thought could happen.

Schools closing. Churches closing. Store shelves that are bare. Quarantines. Masks.

Others have faced hospitalizations. In some families, there has been premature and unexpected loss of life.

I had lived for 60 years before things changed so dramatically. How will those challenges impact those so much younger? How will they trust that there are just things you can count on when they’ve been shown so graphically that sometimes there aren’t?

Some changes resulting from the pandemic have been for the better: Peo ple working from home. Young couples choosing where to live based on personal preference rather than job opportunities.

Some changes resulting from the pan demic have made us realize how good we

WATERBURY

With this in mind, one of my favorite sports heroes was Michael Jordan, and on one occasion, he made a comment that got my attention: He said, “You must expect great things of yourself before you can achieve them.” And anoth er famous philosopher, Grandma Moses, added her insight to Michael Jordan’s when

she wrote: “Life is what you make it. Always has been, always will be.” Pretty simple, isn’t it? (End quote)

Well, there you have it. So, once again, I would ask, “How are we doing?” Do you ever feel lost or overwhelmed? Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf had this to say about getting lost: “It matters not how you became lost. What matters is that you are Heavenly Father’s child and He loves you. The most powerful Being in the universe is the Father of your spirit. He loves you with a perfect love.” (end quote) There you have it. No matter what,

usually have it: Having full grocery shelves, seeing that smile on a friendly face, going to church and school and out with friends, traveling.

Some changes have no upside except that they’ve allowed us a closer look at our faith and our resilience. Yes, we have both.

I’m old enough to know that whatever we face, we can get through it. And now our kids know that too.

Living history has its ups and downs, its backwards and forwards.

And as we work through them, we get tougher. And we get more flexible. And we get more appreciative.

And everything we see and experience adds to the rich tapestry that makes our individual lives and our shared history.

So what do you do when you know that all you can expect is that what comes might very well be unexpected?

Whether old or young, you live. You live every moment you’re given, no matter what it brings, in the best way you know how.

You love every opportunity. You relish every day. You adapt to every change and then you adapt back to what was normal when those changes pass.

You appreciate good health and meaningful friendships. You stay grateful for every open restaurant and every airline flight even if it’s full. You feel thankful for every person who works to make toilet paper and every person who works to get it on the shelves. And you feel glad that you can still buy potatoes for Thanksgiving and Legos for Christmas – and hope the extra money you’re spending on them both goes to someone who needs it. And you keep going no matter what.

Live every moment. Love every oppor tunity. Embrace every change. In gratitude. Old or young, we can do this. Together.

‘Strange World,’ ‘Slumberland’ and other Thanksgiving treats

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Strange World (in theaters)

Disney’s stepping back into the world of science fiction, and it pays off in their most entertaining adventure in years.

“Strange World” takes audiences into the world of old-school pulp sci-fi comics, combining it with an Indiana Jones-feel and a whole buffet of family dynamics. The results capture pure Disney magic while still feeling different than anything Disney has done in a long time. Add in some beautiful, delightfully strange ani mation, and you have an adventure you’ll want to bring your whole family on.

The movie opens with a small vil lage surrounded by a ring of impossible mountains. The town’s biggest adventurer is determined to cross the mountains no matter what the cost, but his son prefers looking for other solutions to the family’s problems. More than two decades later, the famous family is dragged on an ad

venture that will take them to an entirely different world.

The animation feels like an exper iment in the best possible way, and the family story gives the classic struggle of parental expectations so much depth and richness. It’s satisfying on so many different levels that it will linger in your memory long after the credits roll.

Grade: Four stars

Slumberland (Netflix)

I think the critics who didn't like “Slumberland” didn’t actually finish watching it.

Because yes, the movie starts a little slow. Though the visuals are gorgeous, and Jason Momoa is a ton of fun, “Slum berland” starts out feeling like a simple children’s story. A grieving little girl has random adventures through Dreamland with a zany creature only to learn valu able life lessons at the very end. There are some great whimsical touches, including the unexpectedly entertaining use of a garbage truck, but it stretches on a little

too long.

WHAT TO WATCH OUT AND ABOUT

Then a plot twist comes midway through the movie that changes ev erything. What started out as pleasant becomes richly emotional, transforming into a story about family and healing that made me choke up more than once. The ending was definitely one of those moments, managing to be both beautiful and a little bit heartbreaking. It’s still got all the whimsey of before, but now there’s a power behind it.

Together, this is definitely a journey worth taking. Just make sure you stick with it all the way to the end.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Devotion (in theaters)

If you like tragic but ultimately meaningful military movies, then “Devo tion” is for you.

The intro says that it’s “inspired” by a true story, but the movie hews much closer to reality than most movies that use the term. While that leaves the script a little more episodic than I might have

hoped, it leads to several quietly emotion al moments and a gut punch of an ending. It’s a story that deserves to be told, and is told well.

The story follows Jesse Brown and Tom Hudner, two pilots flying in the early days of the Korean War. Brown, the only black pilot in the unit, has to deal with racism both personal and systemic. Hud ner has the much more complicated battle of understanding what Brown is going through and genuinely supporting him.

Jonathan Majors is fantastic as Brown, and Glen Powell brings some good nu ance to Hudner. Their scenes together are some of the best in the movie.

Grade: Three stars

Festival of Trees kicks off the holiday season

SANDY—Revel in the beauty of rows and rows of spectacularly decorated trees as the Festival of Trees holds its in-person event for the first time since 2019 at the Mountain America Expo Center.

The Festival has been a holiday tradi tion for more than 50 years as a fundraiser for “Primary Promise” and medical care for kids at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital.

In addition to the trees, enjoy holiday decorations, wreaths, visits with Santa Claus, scones, hand-crafted gingerbread houses and more for sale and silent auction.

“We are thrilled to experience the magic of the giving season in person with our community as they support our Primary Promise to patients and families throughout Utah and the Intermountain West,” said Katy Welkie, chief executive officer of Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital and vice president of Intermountain Chil dren's health.

“The needs of the children in our growing communities are great and Primary Promise is an innovative, extensive, oncein-a generation way to address them,” she continued. “It has been heartening to see continued community support during our past two virtual Festival of Trees events and we look forward to welcoming our generous community once again to this beloved event

to help children in need and to help us keep The Child First and Always in all that we do.”

An 80-member volunteer board enlisted the talents of thousands of families, organi zations and businesses throughout Utah and neighboring states to bring the Festival to life. The event raised $2.3 million last year to support patient care at Primary Children’s Hospital.

Proceeds raised help patients like Brailey Partida who lost her lower leg when she was severely injured in an accident. Her backside was also damaged in the accident requiring her to use an ostomy bag for four months.

With the help of Primary Children’s Hospital experts in surgery, trauma, rehab and music therapy, today 11-year-old Brailey is active and loves science, playing soccer, basketball, MInecraft and Fortnite and running around with her dog Appa. She wants to be a surgeon when she grows up, a release said.

“Primary Children’s saved my daugh ter,” said Teri Partida, Brailey’s mother.

“They helped her get better. If it wasn’t for them, she probably wouldn’t be here.”

Fun facts about the Festival:

• Volunteers have donated and decorat ed just over 500 trees using a half million lights.

•

• Volunteers have donated 4,500 pounds of fudge in eight flavors.

• Volunteers have created approximate ly 100 wreaths for the festival.

The Festival will be held Wednesday,

Nov. 30 – Friday, Dec. 1 from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 3 from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. at the Mountain America Expo Center, 9575 State St., Sandy.

The silent auction will be available at FestivalofTreesUtah.org from 6 p.m. Tues day, Nov. 29 through 8 p.m. Thursday Dec. 1.

Standing courageously for all Americans on Veterans Day and hopefully many more to come

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

As you drive northbound on I-215 past 2100 South, you will see an American flag waving freely on the overpass. This flag is held by Bob Fillmore, 74 and a Vietnam veteran of 1968. Fillmore joined the army when he was only 17, and according to him he was happy to do it.

“I’m a happy and proud veteran and I’m honored to do this,” said

Fillmore. He has been standing on overpasses for Veterans Day for the past eight years. And although he’s been kicked off of a couple of them, he said he does it for all Americans. He got the idea from a friend who did the same thing in Utah County years ago.

“I’ll be out here until I die,” Fillmore said. As vehicles travel past him and honk, he proudly salutes each person. “These people are true Ameri cans,” said Fillmore. l

Supporting those in need this holiday season by giving through the local schools

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

WOODS CROSS—For the past 20 years, Woods Cross has had an Angel Tree located in the city building lobby. This year, however, they are approaching the need a bit differently. Woods Cross recommends that individuals who want to donate to families in need contact their local elementary school.

These donations are being arranged by the Woods Cross Youth City Council and their adoption of students in need as determined by the Woods Cross High School Teen Center and local elementary school counselors.

The Youth City Council has three recommended schools with families who need sponsorship. They are Woods Cross Elementary, Odyssey Elementary and Legacy Preparatory Academy. Each of these schools has different resources available to help them provide for any families in need.

Woods Cross Elementary expects to have at least 40 families who are in need this season. These needs include food, clothing, coats and other essentials. Kim Madsen, a counselor at the elementary, listed several services that will be helping these families. They include the Boun tiful Rotary Club, The Salvation Army and other events such as community coat drives.

“One of the biggest needs for these families is clothing and food,” said Mad sen. She also explained that the Bountiful Food Pantry is a great resource. “They help a ton for ongoing needs for these families.”

Odyssey Elementary is also partici pating with The Salvation Army as well

as reaching out to the community for assistance. They have about five families currently in need, but see this number growing as it gets closer to the holidays.

Amber Taylor, Family Advocate at Odyssey Elementary, said, “Most people want to help; they just don’t always know how.” In the past, they have worked with local church leaders for names of families in need. Once they know who needs help, they work on connecting those families with services that can fulfill those require ments.

“By using the schools in the area, we are helping in filling the gap of families that might be missed,” said Taylor. While the program is new to Taylor, she ex plained that she understands the impor tance of reaching out to families during this time of year.

At Legacy Preparatory Academy, Jules Reaveley, Director of Advancement & Development, helps coordinate any services for these families in need. “We will know this week how many struggling families we are helping provide a happy holiday for; it varies between 10 to 15,” said Reaveley. “Once they are taken care of, and if there are donations left, we reach out to the outside community.”

Reaveley explains that the best way to help at her school is to visit their web site legacyprep.org and it will immedi ately take the community to a link where they can donate. Legacy Preparatory has about 20 families who are currently in need this year. Each donation made through the website will be used to pur chase gift cards for these families.

So, if anyone is seeking ways to sponsor an individual or family in need this year, reach out to the local elementa ry school and its counselors. l

‘Elf’ a heartwarming Christmas favorite

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

CENTERVILLE—The beloved movie comes to the stage as CenterPoint Theatre presents “Elf.” The story follows Buddy, the most famous of Santa’s elves, who creates all kinds of havoc in Santa’s workshop as he stumbles through making toys. Although his skills as an elf are lacking, Buddy eagerly tries to please Santa.

What Buddy doesn’t realize is that he is actually a human who ended up at the North Pole after he climbed into Santa’s sack at an orphanage one Christmas Eve while Santa was delivering toys. No one noticed the baby until they returned to the North Pole.

Santa and all the elves are puzzled by Buddy’s size when he starts to tower over them. When he discovers he’s really a human, he sets out to find his real father who lives in New York. To his dismay it turns out his dad is on Santa’s naughty list. He’s also not too excited to find out he has a son.

Buddy doesn’t let this deter him from trying to spread some Christmas cheer even though his father is a scrooge. His optimistic outlook gets him into some trouble but it’s all in fun.

Addison Welch plays Buddy in the Monday, Wednesday, Friday shows and Craig Williams puts his own personality on Buddy Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

“Elf” is directed by Danny Inkley, musi cal direction by David Martin and choreogra

The show runs now through Dec. 22, Monday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. with Satur day matinees at 2:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $18.75-$34.50. CenterPoint Theatre is located at 525 N. 400 W., Centerville. For more information visit CPTUtah.org or call 801-298-1302.

Students make blankets for kids who need a hug

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—It could be a child in the hospital, in foster care or a baby in the NICU, anyone who needs a little extra love and comfort. Those are the kids Boulton Elemen tary sixth graders are trying to help by making blankets.

“It’s kids who need a hug,” said Karen Marcus with Project Linus as she showed the students her blankets and gave them instruc tions on how to make them. “Maybe they go to foster care and the kids have been abused and pulled from their home. They have nothing of their own. Think of those who are getting them.”

One boy wanted to make blankets for his Eagle project, she said, “He got a blanket as a kid. He said, ‘I can just give blankets to the hospital and pay it forward.’”

Marcus told the kids a story about a girl who was being bullied. “She decided to make a blanket for the bully. You don’t know what’s going on in someone else’s life. The bully just needed a hug. They’re friends now.”

At first, Marcus said her 86-year-old mother didn’t want to make blankets. “She

was just sitting in front of the TV. She needed something to do while she was watching TV and started making blankets. Now it gives her purpose.”

Project Linus gave 2,000 blankets last year, said Marcus. “More and more are needed.”

“We’ve done six baby sized to teen boys blankets,” said SEM teacher Kirsten McNeal. “We’ll do blankets for the rest of the year. We’re going to buy more fabric and yarn with the donation we received last year. The students are really inspired to do more and do better.”

“I think it’s really beneficial,” said sixth grader Gibson Freeman. “It’s a great cause. I really like people and they really need this.”

The students are also working on collect ing backpacks with school supplies for Lifting Hands International. “They’re for children of refugee families that have nothing,” said McNeal. “They’re sent around the world.”

At the beginning of the year the kids made posters and fliers to get donations, she said. “Last year we did this for Ukraine. The kids got stories back from the children. It was nice for them to know that somebody cared, that another child cares.” l

Davis boys swimmers win Thanksgiving Invite

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Davis

At the Thanksgiving Invitation al Nov. 18-19, Sam Carlson earned the boys High Point Award with first-place finishes in the 50 freestyle and 100 free style, breaking his own school records in both events. His finishes helped the Davis boys place first out of 28 teams while the girls squad finished second.

“I am so proud of our swimmers as almost everyone dropped time! It was so amazing!” said head coach Kit Barker. “I love that many of the swimmers tried new events getting out of their comfort zone. This was not easy for them, but helps them grow as a swimmer.”

Lia Merrill won the 100 backstroke while the boys 200 free relay team, which included Carlson, Dylan Grant, Tyler Bennett and Garrett Barker, and the 400 free relay lineup of Barker, Jake Edwards, Grant and Carlson also achieved first place showings. Other top-five finishers were Barker (second, 200 free; third, 500 free), Merrill (third, 200 Individual Medley) and Macie Cragun (fourth, 100 breaststroke).

Darts swimmers who dropped more than five seconds off their previous-best times were Branson Bown in the 50 free; Jake Edwards in the 100 butterfly; Garrick Bench, Bryson Bernhardt and Jonah Hen der in the 100 backstroke; Noah Arnell, Henry Barber, Bown, Reese Jones, Caleb Miller, Lydia Neeley, Griffin Perkins, Debonae Sanders and Lucas Satterthwaite in the 100 free; Ethan Frandsen in the 200 free; Grant in the 200 IM; and Barker in the 500 free.

Farmington

The Farmington boys beat Copper Hills 101-56 Nov. 15. With the girls squad losing 112-46, the Phoenix team fell just short 168-47 overall.

“It was a fun quick meet,” said head coach Stacy Edholm.

Mason Draxler broke the school record in the 100 butterfly with a time of 59.16 while also winning the 200 free style event. Teal Edholm was a triple winner in the 200 free, 100 fly and swam a leg on the top 200 medley relay team,

which also included London Spears, Brooke Belnap and Nerys Turnbaugh.

Also touching first in their events against the Grizzlies were William (Spud) Farnsworth (200 Individual Medley), John Lyman (100 free), Will Scott (100 backstroke) and Kael Michaelson – who led Farmington in an event where they took the top five spots in the 50 free.

Other top-three finishers were Hayden Wangemann (second, 200 IM; third, 100 free), Matthew Scoresby (sec ond, 100 free), Belnap (third, 200 IM; third, 100 breast); Spears (third, 50 free; third, 100 free)

At the Thanksgiving Invitational, Draxler won the 100 breast and 200 IM and is now ranked first and second, re spectively, in the state in those events.

“He was on fire with swims like I have never seen,” coach Edholm said.

“He dropped a whopping eight and a half seconds off his best time in the 200 IM and more than a second off of his best-ev er time in the 100 breast.”

Draxler also swam on the third-place 200 medley relay squad – that also includ ed Scott, Ezra Moon and Lyman – and the fourth-place 200 free lineup of Lyman, Davis Nielson and Jack Cresap that broke

school records in the respective events.

Those finishes helped the Farmington boys finish sixth while the girls came in 22nd, which combined for a 10th place showing overall.

“It went so much better than I could have imagined for our swimmers,” said

coach Edholm. “We had 58 best times, and our swimmers broke five school re cords. Everyone did amazingly well!” Teal Edholm broke the school record in the 100 free, placing second in a tight race, while also placing fourth in the 200 IM. l

OFF TO THE BIG LEAGUES

FARMINGTON’S MASON DRAXLER (in the fifth lane from the bottom) won the 100 breaststroke with a personal-best time of 59:47, more than a second off his previous best. He is currently seeding first in the state in the event.

ANNUAL TURKEY SHOOT

Post-election audit verifies accurate vote count

FARMINGTON—Following Elec tion Day Nov. 8, Davis County conducted a post-election audit that verified an accurate vote count. The audit was held on Monday, Nov. 21 and election results were certified before the Board of Canvass during the Davis County Commission meeting held Tuesday, Nov. 22.

“It’s important to verify the accuracy of every election,” said Chief Deputy Clerk/Au ditor Brian McKenzie who noted post-election audits are required by State and County statute and policy and are the second to last step before certifying the results. “We want to, before we finalize everything, go back, verify, double check and make sure that, yes, the results that we have are legitimate – these are truly the people who have been elected.”

A team of citizen auditors who have served as election workers at a polling location within the last four years conducted the audit working with members of the Clerk/Auditor’s permanent staff. Commissioner Randy Elliott represented the Board of Canvass as one of the auditors, in compliance with County policy, a release said.

Davis County provides a list of all of its ballot batches to the Lieutenant Governor’s Of fice. The Lieutenant Governor randomly selects which ballots to audit.

“We receive that notification about 15 minutes before the audit is going to take place,” McKenzie said. “We don’t get to choose what we audit.”

Auditors compared original ballots, with the original marks, to digital screen images of the ballots made during processing. The audi tors then verified that the computer interpreted and counted the votes accurately, as marked on the original ballot. Auditing teams were asked to verify that signatures on ballot envelopes matched the signatures of the registered voters.

Voter registrations for the batch were also scru tinized, making sure the latest documents corre spond to how the voter is currently registered to vote, including name, address, date of birth, and party affiliation. Additionally, ID verifica tion was done, matching personal identifiers on voter registration to data from the Utah Driver License Division, which is an independent source, the release said.

“For the ballots that have been rejected because of signature issues, we take a 1 percent sampling of those and make sure that they truly shouldn’t have been counted,” said McKenzie.

For more information call 801-451-3589.

New USU Extension website offers inflation resources

According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation in Utah has increased 10.4% since May 2021. This number is even higher than the current national average. It means a typical family of four is spending $700-$800 more per month on the same items they purchased a year ago.

“This is a challenging time for con sumers,” said Melanie Jewkes, Utah State University Extension professor. “Inflation seems to be most noticeable at the gas pump and grocery store, and consumers are having to change the way they spend to accommodate the surging costs.”

To help navigate the challenges of inflation, USU Extension created a website with information and resources at http:// inflation.usu.edu. It includes tips from Ex tension faculty, and new information will be added as it becomes available.

“This website provides a central location of our resources so users will have quick access to the help they need,” said Amanda Christensen, Extension professor and Accredited Financial Counselor.

Website topics include budgeting for emergencies, combating panic buying during inflation, teaching children about money management, positive conversations about money, and other topics. Also includ ed are links to PowerPay, a free debt reduc tion tool; the Money Master online course; an Estate Planning Toolkit; Hidden Gems, free family fun guides for economical ways to play together as a family; and the Cutting Expenses Guidebook. There are also links to frequently asked finance questions.

“We hope these resources will benefit Utahns, who we know to be resilient and resourceful during tough economic times,” Christensen said. l

E-bikes classified as motorized vehicles

As of Nov. 7, 2022, class 2 and 3 e-bikes are now classified as “motorized vehicles” and considered illegal off-road vehicles on all wildlife and waterfowl man agement areas in Utah. The restricted areas are publicized with “no motorized vehicles” signs in wildlife and waterfowl manage ment areas.

“E-bike use, as a recreation activity, has increased dramatically in the past five to 10 years,” said DWR Capt. Chad Bettridge. “As a result, we are seeing increased use on our waterfowl and wildlife management areas. In areas where there is a lot of e-bike use, notable habitat damage is occurring. These new rules will help to preserve these properties for their intended use which is for wildlife and their long-term benefit and health.”

Previously only waterfowl manage ment areas had rules about class 1 e-bike use and could be used on established roads and other authorized areas. The new rule now extends to wildlife areas. Class 2 and 3 e-bikes, which can self-propel, are now also prohibited from leaving open roads.

There are 193 wildlife and waterfowl management areas in Utah. These manage ment areas conserve critical native wildlife habitats. Management properties are public land, but they are not multiple use like any other state and federally owned properties.

A citation for using a class 2 or 3 e-bike off-road on any wildlife and waterfowl management areas results in an infraction.

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.

Bountiful Lions Annual Turkey Shoot held Nov. 18 – 20, is back after two-years off due to COVID. The event featured six Trap shooting areas from Beginner to Expert, a pistol range and Bingo. More than 900 turkeys were given away at the well-attended event. The Lions anticipate earning $15,000 – $20,000 this year with 100 percent of profits going to causes such as sight conservation, a request years ago from Helen Keller. The Turkey Shoot has been a yearly event of the Bountiful Lions since 1941.

Q: Were the trolls in “Ernest Scared Stupid” done by Jim Hen son?

A: No, but the Chiodo brothers would probably be flattered by your guess.

The villainous trolls who terrorize Briarville, Missouri, in “Ernest Scared Stupid” (1991) were designed by Chiodo Brothers Productions, a competing char acter-design company — as much as anyone can be said to “compete” with

the legendary, pioneering Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.

That said, you’re likely familiar with the work of the Chiodos — Charles, Edward and Stephen — whether you know it or not.

Most notably, perhaps, they were the puppeteers behind the all-puppet, adultoriented comedy “Team America: World Police” (2004). They also designed the titu lar monsters in the Critters horror-comedy film series.

They largely made their names with 1988’s “Killer Klowns From Outer Space,” a bizarre horror-comedy about — well, it says it all right in the title. This was a true labor of love for them, and they directed, wrote and produced it as well as doing the effects and design. They later reused some of the clown masks from that film for the trolls in “Ernest Scared Stupid.”

Q: Who plays Diana on “Slow Hors es”? She looks so familiar.

A: It’s honestly hard to know where to start with the career of the great Kristin Scott Thomas. She’s an incredi bly accomplished English actress who received a damehood for her services to drama in her home country — that’s the somewhat unhelpful short answer.

Any longer answer would have to include “Gosford Park” (2001), the star-studded drawing-room mystery in which she played the pampered, flirta tious Lady Sylvia McCordle. It would also include 1996’s “The English Patient,” the highly decorated romantic drama in which she played a married woman having an affair with the titular patient.

As a fan of Apple TV+’s spy drama “Slow Horses,” you might know her from

the 1996 series-launching blockbuster “Mission: Impossible.” She played Sarah Davies, one of the operatives whose murders in the early stages of the film kick off the whole plot.

She was also part of the ensemble cast of the landmark 1994 romantic comedy “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” which is how she came to the attention of most North Americans.

Prior to that, she was mostly doing theatre or lower-profile English and French cinema (she’s actually fluent in both languages, having lived for a long time in Paris during her pre-fame years).

Among the many recog nizable faces in Hollywood, Ben Foster’s stands out in just about every role he has ever adopted. Whether best known for his calm-but-chilling delivery or his wild, erratic behavior, Foster frequently has viewers on the edge of their seats. In “Emancipation,” now playing in select theaters and streaming on Apple TV+ as of Friday, Dec. 9, Foster stars as Fassel, a key player in the harrowing story of escaped slave Peter (Will Smith, “King Richard,” 2021), who trav els through the Louisiana swamp lands, heading north to join the Union Army and support the abolitionist movement.

Born to a pair of restaurant owners on Oct. 29, 1980, in Boston, Ben Foster came from relatively humble beginnings and lived in his hometown until the age of 4, when a terrifying break-in led the Foster family to move out of state. Settling in Fairfield, Iowa — a town of four community theaters — young Foster grew up acting in plays such as “You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown” and creating his own produc tions (one of which took second place in an international competition) while attending school.

Foster’s professional break came at the age of 16 when he dropped out of school, moved to Los Angeles and was cast in Disney’s coming-of-age come dy series “Flash Forward.” While the show only ran for two years, the series’ demise was only just the beginnig of Foster’s career.

After making his film debut in 1996’s “Kounterfeit,” Foster starred alongside Adrien Brody (“The Pianist,” 2002) and Joe Mantegna (“Criminal Minds”) as Ben Kurtzman in “Liberty Heights” (1999). Two years later, he would fol low this role with a leading part in “Get Over It” (2001) with Kirsten Dunst (“The Power of the Dog,” 2021), then as star character Trevor Adams in 2002’s “Bang Bang You’re Dead.”

Myrlin Dwayne Fenn, our loving, caring, amazing husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather and friend, returned to our loving Heavenly Father on Nov. 17, 2022, in Bountiful Utah at age 88. He was born Aug. 30, 1934 to George Fenn and Susan Bell Labrum.

Myrlin was born in Montwell, Utah, Duch esne County, near Roosevelt in the Uinta Basin. His parents had a farm there, where he was raised and worked hard for the first years of his life. He helped plant, maintain, harvest and preserve the crops and he was given a lot of responsibility early in life. He remembers the family garden being about the size of two football fields where they raised much of what they needed to sustain the family through the winter months. His mother told him one fall that they had processed over 1,000 quarts of vegetables, fruits and other things. He learned that no matter how old you were, you were expect ed to contribute, to help keep the family together, to provide all that a large family needed to survive.

The family moved from the farm to Roos evelt when dad was 9 years old, but he car ried the work ethic and values he learned in his early years on the farm throughout the rest of his life. He applied them in raising and providing for his family and everything else he did. He tried hard to instill these gifts in his children, and we are thankful he succeeded!

he did on the farm, he always planted, nurtured, and harvested everything to bless his family and he also shared the fruits of his labors with neighbors. He also took great satisfaction in his yard, planting many beautiful, colorful flowers and other decorative plants. Everyone who came to the house admired his care and the beauty of his handiwork. He loved creating beauti ful things for others to enjoy.

He met the love of his life, Marva Dawn Atwood, in Roosevelt Utah and six weeks later they were sealed in the Salt Lake temple on Feb. 17, 1953. They chose the covenant path and stayed true to their covenants here on earth together for 69 years and eight months. Their example is priceless to their posterity.

Myrlin was a devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many positions including, mis sionary work, young men’s organization, Bishop and many others. He never turned down a calling. Mom and Dad served a full-time mission in the Micronesia Quam Mission from 1998 to 2000. This was a great blessing to them and our family. Mom said it changed their lives for the better. Disci pleship in Christ always does.

Dad also served in the Scouting program. As near as we can calculate, his service there lasted more than 47 years. He loved teaching and training youth and adults the skills and attributes of leadership, pre paredness and integrity. He was exemplary in all of these and, by his character, he was qualified to teach them. He achieved and acquired many of the top awards available in scouting including the Silver Beaver.

Dad was an avid gardener. Just like

Charity was a hallmark of dad’s charac ter. Everyone who associated with him felt his genuine, unconditional care and love for them. He was easy to love. We will miss his companionship here in mortality. But we rejoice in his goodness and his progress in the kingdom of God on the other side of the veil without the pains and tribulation he experienced in the last several months of his life. He lived the plan of happiness and we are confident that that is what he is reaping now, Happiness!

He is survived by his eternal companion, Marva. His children: Lance, Wade, Ron, Wes, and Lisa. Many grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great, great grandchil dren. Dad and Mom love their posterity!!

Preceded in death by his parents, George Fenn and Susan Belle Labrum, all of his brothers and sisters: Norman, Earl, Mar vella, Myrth, Therlow, Leonal, Glen, Myrna, and Ella Rose Fenn.

Because Charles Schulz made so many comics featuring hockey, he was admitted into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.

Growing up in St. Paul, MN, Charles used a hockey stick to hit tennis balls in his grandmother’s basement. His mother helped him make goalie pads out of gunny sacks with rolled-up newspaper sewn inside. His father made an ice rink in their backyard where Charles and his friends played hockey whenever they could — even by streetlight at night.

Charles’s love of hockey lasted his entire life. His five children all learned to skate.

In 1969, when a local ice arena closed, Charles bought it and opened the Redwood Empire Arena near his studio in Santa Rosa, CA.

Today, the ice arena is called Snoopy’s Home Ice and is located next to the Charles M. Schulz Museum.
