NEWS BREAK

First Trump hearing broadcast

Though the former president has had no shortage of legal troubles, the first hearing in his latest set of accusations was broadcast just this week. Judge Scott McAfee presided over the hearings for former president Donald Trump, along with 18 other co-defendants. According to CNN, “The judge will consider motions from two defendants to separate or ‘sever’ their cases from the other co-defendants, in hopes of getting a faster trial.”

SCORE!

Construction on the Bountiful High Football Stadium is almost complete. The team is anticipated to take the field Sept. 22 against Clearfield. “The students are very excited to get a field of their own,” said BHS Principal Travis Warnick. “It’s hard to play all the games away. They’ve been splitting between fields at Viewmont and Woods Cross.”

Less than 30% of voters cast ballot in special election

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—Voter turnout was low in Tuesday’s municipal primary elections with only 29% of registered voters casting a ballot. Of most interest was the Second District race to fill Congressman Chris Stewart’s seat after he announced in May that he would be resigning the post he’s held for 10 years. Stewart said his resignation was due to his wife’s health issues.

To fill the vacancy, the legislature called for a special election and pushed back the voting dates from Aug. 15 to Sept. 5 and the general election from Nov. 7 to Nov. 21.

The top three contenders are Becky Edwards, Bruce Hough and Celeste Maloy. Edwards is a former Utah House Representative, Maloy serves as legal counsel for Congressman Stewart and Hough is a Utah businessman. As of press time, unofficial numbers in Davis County had Edwards with a small lead over Maloy and Hough coming in third. Throughout the Second District, however, the race between Edwards and Maloy was too close to call Wednesday morning.

In municipal races, not all cities had primaries, some didn’t have enough candidates and others opted not to hold a primary. In the cities that had a primary, Lay-

ton’s incumbents held on to their positions as City Council members. The same was true of Woods Cross, with all three incumbents winning their races.

North Salt Lake had 10 candidates with the only incumbent running, Ted Knowlton, keeping his seat. Annette Judd

was the only incumbent running in West Point and she led the voting with 676, followed closely by Kelly R. Ross who garnered 605 votes. These are unofficial numbers. A final canvass will take place on Sept. 19. See results on page 2.l

Shots fired at NSL apartment complex

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

NORTH SALT LAKE—

Residents at Eaglewood Lofts were awakened by gunfire early Sunday morning when two groups of people started shooting at each other in the lawn area in between the buildings.

“We got a call at 5:45 a.m. reporting shots fired at an apartment complex at 325 S. Orchard Drive,” said North Salt Lake Assistant Police Chief Mitch Gwilliam. “Investigators found multiple juveniles and young adults shooting at each other.”

Four vehicles were hit and there were eight impacts to glass, he said. “We arrested one adult male and two juveniles. We’re actively looking for other individuals, at least one for sure.”

There were no injuries, said Gwilliam. “A shot went through an outer pane of glass on a double pane window and through a wall into an apartment.”

Gwilliam said they don’t have any information that gangs were involved in the shooting.

Murderer escapes custody in Pennsylvania

A more than week-long manhunt was conducted this week looking for Danelo Cavalcante, who escaped from the Chester County Prison in Pennsylvania. While still unconfirmed, experts believe Cavalcante escaped by climbing onto the roof to make his getaway. More than 200 law enforcement officers searched for the man this week, who is considered very dangerous.

Spain’s national football coach fired

Following their historic win, the world of Women’s soccer was rocked when head coach Jorge Vilda forcibly kissed player Jenni Hermoso and made lewd gestures towards the star forward. Many players said they would refuse to continue playing for Spain if the current leadership remained in place. Replacing Vilda is Montse Tomé, the first woman to hold the position in Spain’s history with the sport.

Chinese officials arrest construction workers who cut through the Great

Wall

The famous Chinese landmark, centuries old, and visible from space was defaced, and one section destroyed when two construction workers cut through the edifice this week. Reports say that the two wanted a shortcut to a nearby construction site that they were working on, and didn’t want to have to go around. Further legal action is “pending” according to the local government in which the breach of the wall was made.

Warner Bros.

Discovery to lose $300-$500 million, but still turn a profit

The SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike has brought much of Hollywood grinding to a halt since the strike started in early May of this year. As the strike continues, fewer and fewer completed projects are on the shelves, meaning soon, no new content will be released. To that end, Warner Bros. Discovery has “adjusted” earnings to accommodate for $300-$500 million losses, but still expects to turn a profit despite the loss of business.

Reset yourself through SKY breath meditation

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—In this busy fastpaced world it can be hard to reset and recharge. A technique called SKY (Sudarshan Kriya Yoga) breath has been found to be effective in quieting the mind and relieving stress and anxiety. The South Davis Recreation Center will host a three day program to learn the technique Sept. 14, 15, 16.

“I’m a physics and computer engineer,” said Sunita Yalamarty State Coordinator for Art Of Living Foundation

Breath and Meditation Coach. “I came to the U.S. in 1994. I’m very left brained. There has to be a reason for everything but life isn’t black and white it’s shades of gray. I was going through my own personal problems – life is not simple.”

Yalamarty said she lost herself completely. “I didn’t know who I was. I was morphing into a person I didn’t even know and the life I’d worked so hard for. There were days that when I woke up I didn’t want to open my eyes because life is just full of problems. I was in my 30s and thought ‘is this what the rest of my life will be? What's the point? That’s a drag.’” Although she tried self help books, exercise and yoga, Yalamarty didn’t feel connected. “None of them took me home. It didn’t turn into an experience.” She heard about SKY breath. “I didn’t want to pay money for breathing,” said Yalamarty. “Finally I decided to do it. For the first time in my 30-35 years I experienced what a quiet mind is. It was an absolutely beautiful experience.”

It’s great to know how to respond rather than react, she said. “When we drop the stress and emotional baggage the healing can start.”

There is a special program for veterans, Yalamarty said. “There was a Vietnam vet who came and did it. He was in tears. All the medications hadn’t helped his anxiety. This isn’t just a giant step –it’s a giant leap.”

Yalamarty has a software business in Ogden but also volunteers for the International Association for Human Values

(IAHV). “This is what I do, it's my passion,” she said. “The ‘Art of Living’ is a community program through IAHV. It is to help a person go back to human values of joy, kindness and compassion.”

That’s how everyone was when they were born, said Yalamarty. “You don’t see children stressed out. We’re trying to go back to that state before stress, anxiety and depression takes over. If we peel back the layers to the whole person, society blossoms.”

It’s a nine hour program, she said. “It’s three hours each day. You’ll learn advanced breathing techniques that expand the lungs. You’re taught how to breathe and it energizes you. If you notice your breathing changes when you’re angry it gets stronger. Certain breathing patterns can alter how you feel.”

Some emotions can be very powerful, Yalamarty said. “Sudarshan ‘Su’ means clear and ‘darshan’ means vision. We might have been labeled short tempered or anxious. This gives you a clear picture of who you are.”

At the workshop students learn how to do the breathing at home, she said. “It helps you learn to reset your system and yourself and how to pull back. It’s like a cell phone. If you don’t charge it, it stops working.”

Participants have access to an app for meditation, said Yalamarty. “It guides them daily to find a quiet place to follow instruction.”

Once a week they get a complementary group session sometimes in person and sometimes online, she said. “It keeps everyone in the groove of what they’re doing. There’s a lot of community support.”

It’s like a bicycle, car or plane, said Yalamarty. “They all take you from point A to B but each takes you at different speeds. SKY is like a plane.”

The workshop will be held Sept. 14, 15, 16 from 6-9 p.m. at the South Davis Recreation Center, 550 N. 200 West. Fees: $100 [Use Code: southdavis295off] + $25 Facility fees Register at: https://linktr.ee/skyinslc. A link to pay facility fees will be sent once you register. l

Growers association in Davis County perfected

With the filing of articles of incorporation with the Secretary of State, H.E. Crocket, by the Davis County Co-operative Growers Association, last week, the farmers of South Davis County entered upon a new era of commercialized farming. The organization, which will be known under the corporate name of Davis County Co-operative Growers Association will have headquarters at Bountiful and was formed under the new Agricultural Co-operative Associations act of the last legislature.

1943 Bond drive starts – Davis residents to participate in gigantic war loan

Started Thursday throughout the nation was the third war loan campaign to raise the largest amount of money yet asked for, with which to “back the attack” of our fighters everywhere as they stand ready to invade the lands of our enemies. Davis County must purchase $1,139,000 in war bonds, the quota set for the general public, as banks are buying their quota otherwise, and citizens must cooperate as never before, if the amount is to be raised by October 1, the deadline. Come on, Davis County patriots, let's buy all we can afford; and then buy an extra one, just to be sure we reach our quota!

Three crops bring farmers

$625,000 in Davis last year

Rich in vitamins, Davis County vegetables are rich in money, too. Last year the county’s farmers received $625,000 for the three major vegetable crops sold to canners and other food processors. The county’s farmers produced about 22,000 tons of tomatoes, snap beans and peas for processing, according to C.W. Parry, Utah representative for American Can

Company. The planting, cultivation and harvesting of these canning crops require approximately 402,000 manhours of work in Davis County, the can-making firm’s representative added.

Bountiful buys, sells land

Bountiful cemetery has grown again.

A short time ago the city bought a home and about seven acres of land. This week the city council added another 2.86 acres to the burial area. Located along Second West just south of the other addition, which was just south of the cemetery, the land will be used for parks until needed by the cemetery, according to Mayor Matt A. Galt.

It will probably be ten years before it will be needed for the cemetery, he said. In other land dealings the city council this week agreed to sell over eight acres of city land just east of the Holbrook Elementary School on Turkey Shoot Drive.

U okays Davis Center for higher education

The University of Utah has announced plans to establish a “Davis Center for Higher Education” this fall in response to repeated requests from community leaders for college-level classes in Davis County.

A citizens’ committee appointed by Mayor Morris F. Swapp, last week published a questionnaire in the South Davis Advertiser and Davis County Clipper to determine the number of potential students in the various academic areas.

This week a telephone survey of Davis County residents will be conducted to further determine the public demand for college classes and specific areas of interest.

NEW YORK—There are events that shape the course of modern history, and change the world thereafter: the World Wars, the Civil Rights Movement, the falling of the Berlin Wall, and others, shaped generations. For the modern era, there is no one single event that has quite had that effect as drastically as did the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001.

For many, that morning started like any other. People woke up, got ready for the day, went to work, went to school, and were just settling in. It was the start of a new school year, fall was right around the corner. Still, it was balmy: temperatures in Bountiful hovered in the low 70s, and things were looking up –after all, the Winter Olympics were on the way in just five short months.

Here, in the west, the news broke early. People watched in horror and confusion as black smoke billowed from one of the famous twin towers of the World Trade Center. It was reported that a plane had crashed into the tower not long before, and people wondered: was it a terrible accident? Was it on purpose? Who would do something like that on purpose?

At least the tower, and its neighbor were still standing. Then, for many, on live TV, the second plane smashed into the other tower. All at once, it was evident that this was no accident. The United States was under attack. News reports came in about another plane crashing

into the Pentagon, the South Tower collapses, another plane crashes in Pennsylvania, and then, the North Tower collapses. As soon as it began, it was over.

The nation, even the world reeled in shock. In a matter of minutes, thousands of lives had been suddenly extinguished. It wasn’t until days later that the stories of heroism and tragic loss began to come to light. Police, firefighters, passengers

CenterPoint behind the scenes – the Scene Shop

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com

Editor’s note: This is the first in a series that takes a look behind the scenes of what it takes to make a CenterPoint Theatre production.

CENTERVILLE—There are few places with a more varied visual landscape than a theatrical scene shop. Just walking around, the average visitor will be able to see snatches of scenes from dozens of different shows, past, present, and future, all made to be sturdy, and reliable, but extremely temporary.

It’s a constant cycle of getting designs, building elements in the shop, constructing the set on stage, then, likely starting on the next show before tearing down the set, and starting it all over again. Most patrons of the theater only ever see the finished product, amazing environments in which the actors present their craft, but there’s always more work that goes into these sets than perhaps meets the eye.

Truxton Moulton, shop foreman, and assistant technical director at CenterPoint Theatre oversees much of the work that goes on at the scene shop for the theater. Together with Silas Stott, the

two do the bulk of scenic construction at CenterPoint, utilizing many different materials and techniques to bring these different sets to life.

“I love this job: people ask for things, and we get to make it happen,” said Stott, showing off one of their newest set pieces: a window seat with actual working rain on the outside of the window. With only a matter of days from the closing of one show to the opening of the next, both Stott and Moulton are constantly working on something.

That’s where experience really pays off. Truxton Moulton, who has worked at outstanding theaters like the Pioneer in Salt Lake, and most recently Tuacahn down south brought years of expertise to his role at CenterPoint. “I’ve picked up tricks and trades from all sorts of places,” said Moulton, in talking about some amazing practical effects for their most recent show, “Something Rotten.”

In addition to the constant building and striking (tearing down of a set following the run of a performance), Stott and Moulton are also working on improvements to the theater itself, including the Leishman Hall Black Box theater, which will soon offer more seating, and a functional turntable, converting the space into a thrust-style theater.

onboard Flight-93, regular citizens everywhere who all did their best to save lives, and combat the terror unleashed that day.

In moments that have not been echoed before or since, nations around the world the United Kingdom, Russia, Ireland, South Korea, Germany, France, and many others held vigils, days of prayer, and more in honor of the victims

of the attacks. The Star Spangled Banner played in foreign cities around the globe, showing solidarity with our nation.

The fallout from these attacks is difficult to quantify. For a moment, a surge of patriotism united the country, and measures were taken that changed the landscape of aviation, and national security that are still in place today. Many joined the Armed Forces, and many paid the ultimate price in the conflict that followed.

Islamophobia, connected to the perpetrators of the attacks, created a hostile, almost unlivable environment for thousands of Islamic and Muslim people living in the United States and abroad. Despite their innocence, many reported bullying, slander, and hate crimes being perpetrated against them, and their families for years afterward.

Decades have now passed since that day in 2001. Many college students in 2023 were born after the events that shook the world, and many have only learned about it from text books, news archives. Wars have been waged, thousands more lives have been lost, and the face of the world looks very different from 22 years ago.

There is, perhaps, no better tribute to the victims and heroes of Sept. 11, 2001, than the memorial built at Ground Zero. Two pools of water, with waterfalls running beneath, are set into the sites where the towers stood. No generals on horseback, no depictions of winged victory, just an absence. A void. A hole left in the hearts of so many who lost so much.l

More than anything, however, Moulton hopes that people come to CenterPoint, and see in the set and construction, “The ingenuity of it all. There’s a lot of creativity and thought that goes behind (the set).” While the growth of

the theater can be a daunting task, both Moulton and Stott expressed just how excited they both were for the future of CenterPoint, and to see what comes next in the world of scenic design, and construction. l

Early Wednesday morning, Sept. 6, Officers were at Layton Meadows Apartments on an unrelated call when they encountered a man with a rifle. After an hour of attempting to de-escalate the situation, an officer involved shooting occurred, Layton Police said.

“The officer who was directly involved in the shooting and fired his gun was a Davis County Sheriff’s Office Deputy who was assisting Layton PD as one of the containment officers,” a LPD press release said. The Davis County Critical Incident Protocol Team is conducting the investigation.

DCSO Lieutenant receives Patriotic Employer Award

The Davis County Sheriff’s Office announced that Lt. Joshua Boucher was awarded the Patriotic Employer Award through the Office of the Secretary of Defense Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve. This award recognizes supervisors and bosses nominated by a Guardsman or Reservist employee for support provided directly to the nominator, a DCSO Facebook post said.

“One of the many qualities I can say about Lieutenant Boucher is that he is the definition of a great noncommissioned officer,” Davis County Sheriff’s Deputy Blake Lopez said in the post. “Being a prior military member himself, he understands the sacrifice it takes to put others before oneself. Coming off my last deployment, he took a lot of weight off my back that allowed me to focus on my family first and everything else second and that’s what makes leaders like him the highlight of Davis County.”

Very little is derived at ‘Meet the Candidate’ nights

Primary elections for city office are currently being held in numerous Davis County cities. Other communities with fewer candidates will send out ballots for a November election. Tagging along is the tradition of “Meet the Candidate” debate forums, all of which have something in common: attendance will be almost non-existent with those showing up comprised mostly of candidates’ spouses, campaign managers, and a few kooks who are bored watching “Gunsmoke” reruns.

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

lice officers and firefighters expect a pay raise. So do our park workers, road crews, and office staff. Heck, even Little League umpires need a few extra dollars in their pocket for putting up with insufferable parents. Most workers, you included, got raises and Social Security recipients got raises. We can’t receive a pay hike and expect city employees to declare work as a charitable donation. I commit only to using tax dollars wisely. If another candidate says anything different, they’re lying to you.”

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

Barker, Buffett, Richardson and extraordinary lives

Jimmy Buffett, Bob Barker and Bill Richardson all died recently. They all had one thing in common. They lived extraordinary lives.

GLENN MOLETTE AUTHOR

Buffett had become a billionaire. He had amassed his fortune by capitalizing on his song, “Margaritaville.” His hotels, restaurants, resorts and even retirement communities were hugely successful. In his later years, he continued to build new hotels and resorts that were beautiful and hugely successful.

producer of The Price is Right and earlier as the host of Truth or Consequences. Many of us saw him in the hit comedy Happy Gilmore. Many Americans felt like Barker was a member of their families since he was in their homes via television for so many years. Barker, Buffett, and Richardson were all bigger than life personalities who lived extraordinary lives filled with success and prosperity.

Trust me, very little new is derived from these meetings, and candidates invariably complain that the comments and questions have little to do with the duties of the elected office.

One such meeting in Davis County left some candidates shaking their heads. “If you were there, Cyclops,” said one, “I’d like to see how you would have handled it.”

I took up the challenge. Here are the questions asked – and how a City Council candidate should have responded:

QUESTION: “What religion are you?”

ME: “None of your damn business. If your garbage is picked up on time, why would you care whether it’s a result of a Catholic, Hindu, or Pagan?”

QUESTION: “What are you going to do about pornographic books in our city library?”

ME: “Not read them! It’s pretty simple – and just because you think something is offensive doesn’t mean your neighbor does. Plus, books are chosen by the county library board, not the City Council.”

QUESTION: “Will you promise to keep the gun range open?”

ME: “The range is on county-owned property. Gee, I can’t control my own children, let alone control property someone else owns.”

QUESTION: “I’m tired of taxes going up. Will you stop any increases?”

ME: “Let’s be honest here…Our po-

QUESTION: “Do you support or oppose the new state flag?”

ME: “I couldn’t care less. Like Gov. Cox says, display either one or both. It’s up to you.”

COMMENT FROM ANOTHER CANDIDATE: “I don’t care about the homeless. They’re all trying to scam the system. We owe them nothing.”

ME: “If you attended church last Sunday with that attitude, I’m surprised a lightning bolt didn’t hit your pew. Jesus had a different view of helping people in need – and between the two of you, I’ll side with Jesus.”

QUESTION: “What political party do you belong to?”

ME: “The City Council is non-partisan. We’re all citizens, not Republicans or Democrats. If elected, I’ll focus on fixing potholes, making sure snowplows have gas, improving public safety, and seeing that our city parks are well-maintained. If you’re still concerned about my political affiliation, I’d suggest that you either not vote – or retake your high school civics class.”

Yes, that’s what I would say at a “Meet the Candidates” night – and that’s why I’d never get elected!

Sadly, Buffett passed from Merkel cell skin cancer. He had been receiving treatment for over four years and was still doing concerts even as late as early July in Rhode Island. There was nothing stopping Buffett, except the skin cancer that took his life even when he had so much he still wanted to do. Yet, few people will ever live the life of Jimmy Buffett.

Bill Richardson had spent his last few years helping people internationally. He was very successful in politics serving as a U.S. Congressman, Governor of New Mexico and as an Ambassador to the United Nations. He may best be remembered for his diplomatic work in negotiating the releases of journalist Danny Fenster from a Myanmar prison in 2021 and most recently Britney Griner from a Russian prison, among others. Richardson lived an amazing life.

Bob Barker gets the longevity prize. It’s hard to top 99, unless you make it to 100. Barker lived a full life of entertaining us on television. For 50 years he came into our homes as the host and

Or, the great success of your life may be remembered in your kindness to your neighbors and to others you meet along the way. Quite possibly, life’s most extraordinary people may not be fully recognized until we are beyond this life.

The best we can do is the best we can do. We should trust God and live our lives in as meaningful a way as possible.

The magic of experience

Amodern-day philosopher has written:

“Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

JOHN WATERBURY

Others stay for a while, and touch our hearts, and we are never, ever, the same.”

This is the essence of life.

This is the essence of our experience in this world.

When insight, understanding, and wisdom combine forces, the blinders are removed from our vision and we see the world from a different point of view.

Our past experiences take on new meaning, patterns emerge that were previously unrecognized, and a clarity develops that makes it possible to see the congruity between the past, the present, and the future.

Experience is like a guided tour through our comfort zones; comfort zones that, all too often, were the result of taking the path of least resistance; comfort zones that developed, simply because they were within our grasp.

Experience teaches that when we are willing to settle for what is within our grasp, then we sabotage our personal growth.

And to paraphrase a quote by the poet Browning, “Our reach should exceed our grasp.”

In our attempt to endure to the end, we often, mistakenly, attempt to avoid anything that may produce pain, or anxiety, or uncertainty.

But this is a mistake.

Seldom is anything of any consequence ever achieved without pain. For without pain, there is no change. With-

out change, there is no growth. And without growth, there is no insight.

As a result of our experience, we begin to understand five of the basic subtleties of life: we tend to ask for all things that we may enjoy life, but we are wisely given life that we may enjoy all things; that the only difference between stepping stones and stumbling blocks is the way we use them; that there is a significant difference between doing things right and doing the right things; and last but not least, that nothing changes if nothing changes.

In this manner, when life is managed successfully, we begin to understand the importance of the application of correct principles. Only then can we begin to see things more accurately. We finally stop trying to change the world and begin taking responsibility to make new choices.

The magic of experience is that as we make new choices, changes occur within ourselves, and the world changes automatically.

Region 5 football: Bountiful edges

Viewmont in back-and-forth contest

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Region 5 games began last week on the football field, and a pair of Davis County teams had an exciting matchup.

Bountiful and Viewmont met up to open league play. The Redhawks were coming off a close loss to Olympus, while Viewmont had blown out Taylorsville the week before. This game between the county rivals went down to the wire with Bountiful ultimately winning 28-27.

The way things started, it looked as though the Vikings wouldn’t score.

Bountiful was up 12-0 late in the second quarter after wide receiver Faletau Satuala threw a touchdown pass on a trick play to Blake Moore from 23 yards away. This followed a pair of first-quarter field goals from Landon Zayas from 37 and 43 yards out.

Then it was Viewmont’s turn.

The Vikings went on a 21-3 run in the second, third and fourth quarters to go up 21-15 with 9:45 to play in the game. Dax Nielsen first had a 3-yard run with 25 seconds left before halftime. Daren Tovey next had a 16-yard touchdown pass to Jordan Jones halfway through the third quarter. After Zayas hit his third field goal of the day for Bountiful – this time from 35 yards – Nielsen had a 5-yard touchdown run.

The fourth quarter was wild.

Emmerson Geilman scored on a 6-yard run for the Redhawks to put his team up 22-21 with 7:52 left in the game. Tovey then responded for Viewmont by connecting with Drez Jensen on a 23-yard TD pass with 5:33 to play. Up 27-22, Viewmont elected to go for two and go up by seven points. The conversion failed, however. Just a minute and a half later, Geilman threw a 21yard touchdown pass to Satuala, making it 28-27 for the Redhawks. The two-point conversion failed.

Viewmont was unable to kick the winning field goal, leaving the Vikings with the loss and a 2-2 record. Bountiful is also 2-2 overall and 1-0 in Region 5.

Bountiful’s Sikai Fekitoa led all players with 107 rushing yards on 10 carries. Geilman threw for 133 yards on 11 of 18 passes. Satuala was his favorite target. He had four catches for 74 yards. Evan DeHart was a monster on defense for the Redhawks. The senior had 14 tackles and two sacks. Aisake Willis had eight tackles and a sack. For Viewmont, Dax Nielsen toted the ball 23 times for 82 yards and two scores. Tovey had a good game, compiling 248 yards on 23 of 32 passes. Jensen had seven catches for 11 yards. Landon Sharp had eight tackles and a sack. Austin Nebeker and Tovey had seven tackles apiece.

Bountiful hosts Bonneville this Friday. Meanwhile, Viewmont travels to Northridge this Friday.

Woods Cross

Woods Cross is also 2-2 on the season, though the Wildcats opened Region 5 with a loss. Last Friday, Woods Cross had a wild game at Bonneville where 97 points were scored. The Wildcats were on the short end of an offensive showcase, calling 54-43. Woods Cross fell behind 20-7 in the first quarter, with Vili Tapa’atoutai scoring from 2 yards out on the ground for the Wildcats’ only score of the quarter. The Wildcats had two touchdowns in the second quarter to one for the Lakers. Lock Smoot hit Krew Fornelius on a 51-yard touchdown pass, and Cash Henderson scored from a yard out with just four seconds to play in the first half to make it 27-21 Bonneville. Tapa’atoutai then had a 12-yard touchdown run late in the third quarter, giving the Wildcats a narrow 28-27 lead.

Then, 42 points came in the final quarter.

Bonneville scored 13 quick points, followed by a 15-yard pass from Smoot to Reece Hammond with 5:37 left in the game. Unfortunately for the Wildcats, Bonneville returning the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a score to make it 47-35. Bonneville then got a defensive touchdown to put the game away with just over a minute to go. In the final seconds, Smoot had a 35-yard TD run, and Woods Cross got the two-point conversion.

In a stat-filled game, Woods Cross had 249 yards rushing, including 73 from Smoot on 14 carries and 54 from Ben Smith-Mecham on eight carries. Smoot also had 146 yards passing with two touchdowns and two interceptions on 10 of 22 passing. Henderson had six tackles and a sack on defense.

The Wildcats can get back in the winning column this Friday when they host struggling Clearfield. l

Redhawks in contention in Region 5 girls soccer race

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

The girls soccer regular season is a little more than half over for Region 5 teams, and Bountiful is in good shape.

The Redhawks entered this week with a 5-2 record and then defeated Woods Cross 3-2 on Tuesday to improve to 6-2 in league play. That left Bountiful just a game back of region-leading Clearfield in the race for first place. Overall, the Redhawks are 7-3.

In the win over Woods Cross, it took a stellar second half and a comeback to secure victory. The Redhawks trailed 2-1 at the break but then outscored the Wildcats 2-0 over the final 40 minutes. Three Bountiful players scored and three more got assists in the win. Belle Sorensen, Millie McPheters and Caroline Hellewell got goals. Sophie Winzeler, Alivia Robers and Myka Page assisted on the goals. It was Hellewell’s eighth goal of the season, which leads the team. Sorensen’s score was her seventh, which is second for the Redhawks. Hellewell also paces Bountiful with six assists. McPheters’ goal against Woods Cross was the first of the year for the junior.

Last week, Bountiful had little trouble with Viewmont, pitching an impressive 4-0 shutout. The second half was particularly big for the Redhawks, as they scored three goals to extend what was a 1-0 halftime advantage. Hellewell, Sorensen, Page and Ellyse Kessler scored goals. Elle Sabir, Oakley Jensen and Abigail Coulam got assists. Goalie Daisy Williams got the shutout in the net, her fifth of the season.

The Redhawks host Bonneville on Thursday and then play at home against Roy on Sept. 12.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats are an even 4-4 in Region 5 games, right in the middle of the standings. At 5-4 overall, Woods Cross had been on a four-game winning streak before its loss to Bountiful on Tuesday.

In the loss to the Redhawks, Bailey Brown scored a pair of goals to give her team a 2-1 lead at halftime. Clara

Howes assisted on one of those goals. But the second half belonged to Bountiful. Woods Cross can bounce back on Thursday, but it won’t be easy. The Wildcats take on league-leading Clearfield, which they lost to 3-2 on Aug. 10 in the previous meeting between the two schools.

Last week, Woods Cross ran its winning streak to four when it took care of Roy 5-1 in an offensive explosion for senior Oakley Anderson. She had three goals in the victory, giving her 10 for the year and 26 for her career. Sydney Oaks and Mixon Milliron also had goals, as Woods Cross led 2-1 at the break but outpaced the Royals 3-0 in the second half.

Viewmont

Things haven’t gone Viewmont’s way this season.

The Vikings are 1-7 in Region 5 and 2-8 overall. The offense has struggled. Outside of a seven-goal performance against Taylorsville on Aug. 3, the Vikings have scored more than one goal in a game just once. That came in a 2-0 win over Roy on Aug. 29.

On Tuesday, the Vikings did give Clearfield a good game, falling 3-1 on Aug. 31. The score was knotted at 1-1 at halftime before the Vikings allowed a pair of second-half goals.

On Thursday, Viewmont plays at Northridge. This precedes a trip to Bonneville on Sept. 12. Earlier this season, Viewmont lost to Northridge 4-1 on Aug. 10 and fell at home to Bonneville 2-0 on Aug. 15. l

Davis football on a roll; Farmington struggling

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

As difficult as it may be to believe, the high school football regular season is almost half over. Davis wants to keep its winning ways going. For Farmington, now is the time to turn things around.

Davis

The Darts have won three games in a row to improve to 3-1 overall. Now, with one more game before Region 1 play begins, Davis looks to have a good chance to move to 4-1. The Darts face Taylorsville on Friday, a team that has yet to win a game this season.

Last week, Davis had another one-sided victory, beating Kearns 277. The Davis defense played well, giv-

ing up just 202 yards and one score on the day. Meanwhile, the Darts scored in each quarter and generated 281 yards.

Davis opened the scoring on the final play of the first quarter when Tradon Bessinger hit Kash Gates 6 yards for a touchdown. The halftime score was 13-0 when Jacob Faeber scored from a yard out. Carter Dorius had a 28-yard interception return for a TD early in the third quarter to give Davis a 20-0 advantage. After Kearns got on the board, Davis responded with 10:47 left in the game when Bessinger and Gates hooked up a second time. This connection came on a 2-yard pass.

Bessinger was 22 of 39 on the day for 199 yards and the two scores. To go along with his two touchdowns, Gates had six catches for 46 yards. Bode Spar-

Davis girls soccer continues unbeaten streak

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Region 1 play has begun for girls soccer, and the Davis Darts appear to be the frontrunners.

Davis has won its first three region games, bringing its overall record to 8-0. Last week, the Darts went 2-0, defeating Fremont at home 3-1 on Aug. 29 and then getting by Syracuse 2-1 on the road two days later. Through eight games, the stellar Dart defense has yet to allow more than one goal in a game. In all, the Darts have surrendered just four total goals while scoring 28.

In the win against Syracuse, all three goals came in the second half. For Davis, Simone Packer and Brooklyn Phongsavath found the back of the net. Emmerson Taylor had an assist. Phongsavath has a team-high six goals so far. She’s also tied with Lydia Neville and Sammy Maudsley for the team lead in assists with two. Taylor has four goals so far, second on the squad.

Coming for Davis is at home against Layton on Thursday. The Darts will then entertain Farmington on Sept. 12 for a key game between the rivals.

Most importantly, Davis is second in the Class 6A RPI rankings, which determine state playoff seeding. The Darts trail only Lone Peak.

Farmington

The Phoenix have won one of their first three region games and have a 5-4 overall record. Farmington is tied for fourth place in the six-team league. Farmington’s most recent game was a 2-0 shutout loss at the hands of Layton on Aug. 31. The Phoenix had a tough time getting going against the Lancers in a contest where Farmington was held scoreless for the first time all year. This game followed a much different outing, a high-scoring 5-4 loss to Weber. In that one, Macey Call scored three times for Farmington, all in the second half.

To get back on the winning track, Farmington will need to beat Fremont on Thursday. On Sept. 12, the Phoenix have a big match with Davis.

So far on the year, Taytem Grant leads Farmington with six goals. She’s also tops on the team, along with Claire Rencher in assists with three. Call has five goals so far, and four other players have scored twice. Emmy Mckeon and Isabelle Jones have both spent time in the net as goalkeeper, with Mckeon picking up 1.5 shutouts. Eleven players have scored so far for Farmington, and 11 have also picked up at least one assist. Farmington sits at No. 9 in the 6A RPI rankings. l

made some adjustments to be more crisp on getting to our defensive spots and then third set was almost a repeat of the first set with a very tight score. The final set started with a 10-point serving run for us. Knowing that Bonneville was going to come back strong (and they did), my goal was to remind the girls that the only victories in the win-loss column come from a final score.”

Lippa said Bonneville came to the match prepared and well-coached. “I was super impressed by the job Coach Glover is doing at Bonneville,” Lippa said. “I was proud of our kids for how they rallied against a scrappy Bountiful team. Region 5 is always strong in volleyball, and this season appears to be no exception to that rule. I expect our Region to help prepare us mentally as the strength of the teams are high.”

They came out fierce on their defense in the next two sets taking the match.”

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Sitting in Bars with Cake’ and ‘Choose Love’ both charming in their own way

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Sitting in Bars with Cake (Prime)

“Sitting in Bars with Cake” is a good movie, but it’s not at all the movie it looks like.

If you look at the poster, or watch the first 15 minutes, the movie seems like the comedy/romance it bills itself as. The idea of bringing a fully decorated cake to bars in order to talk to guys seems like the perfect recipe for a meet-cute, and there’s a nice sprinkling of hijinks throughout the opening. Yara Shahidi and Odessa A’Zion have great friend chemistry as the shy baker and her more wild, outgoing friend.

Before long, however, you realize that the real heart of the movie is something much closer to “Beaches.” A medical crisis interrupts the fun, and the two struggle to continue the cake plan in the face of worsening health and the struggles of caretaking. There’s definitely love here, the bond between the

two friends explored to a heartbreakingly beautiful degree, but any romance in the movie is half-hearted at best. There’s still some humor, but you’ll cry as often as you’ll laugh.

Shahidi is particularly fantastic as Jane, a quiet, nerdy introvert who learns to come out of her shell even as she wrestles with the world falling apart. She’s largely responsible for some of the movie’s most poignant moments, bringing a delicacy and depth that will hurt you in the best way. She shines in this movie, and I hope she gets the chance to shine even more.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Choose Love (Netflix)

Have you ever watched a romance and wished the lead character could hear you? That you could help her make a better choice than the one she was making?

“Choose Love” gives you the chance to do just that. The movie lets you make a series of choices for

Cami, ones that let her choose one of three guys and have an impact on her career. Some of the decisions are just fun, offering slightly different scenes, while others make a significant difference on where you end up. Even better, the options all come from your active choices and not from tricks the movie pulls on you.

Despite all the options, the movie is still a cheesy romance at its heart. The whole point is to watch a spunky young woman get what she wants out of life, and though you can choose to be on your own the most satisfying endings are with the men. I started with the least popular option (according to all the comments I’ve seen in articles) and still got a perfectly sweet, romantic story. The other options prove more exciting, and give you more story twists, and the endings are just as delightful in their own way. Whatever your version of a dream guy is, “Choose Love” can deliver.

OBITUARIES

Darrell Fred (Dick) Larson

Darrell Fred (Dick) Larson, a very good man, passed away on Aug. 26, 2023, surrounded by family. Darrell is survived by his beautiful and caring wife, Judith Fehlberg Larson, his children, Leslie Phillips, David Larson, Keith Larson, Doug Larson, and Lorie Gordon, and his 13 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Darrell was born in 1935 to Charles Walton Larson and Florence Zesiger Larson. They made their first home in Centerville, Utah. Charles passed away when Darrell was just a baby, leaving Florence to raise her two sons, Howard and Darrell. The boys were a handful, and work was scarce during WWII. Florence cut hair to buy food and welcomed help from her loving family. Florence’s parents, Fred and Kate Zesiger –whose farm was the present site of Tolman Elementary and Zesiger Park – and several Zesiger uncles all helped raise Darrell and his brother. Darrell was taught to work hard, play ball, and laugh a lot.

Darrell’s mom later married Lloyd Bishop and relocated the boys to Kaysville, Utah. Darrell gained an instant brother, Lloyd Kay, and, a few years later, a new younger brother, Rob Bishop. Darrell graduated from Davis High School, served two years in the Army (mostly playing ball and dancing in the officers’ club), and then served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the British Isles. He shipped himself home with a vintage VW Bug and finished a degree in business at the University of Utah.

Darrell danced the night away one evening with Judy at the Terrace Ballroom, and he knew right away he was smitten. They married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 18, 1962, and they settled in Bountiful, Utah to raise their five kids. Through the years, the family has loved spending time with each other and friends playing sports, skiing, boating, and taking annual trips to Lake Powell. With plenty of luck and a little divine intervention, Darrell and Judy always managed to bring home the same number of kids they left with.

Darrell spent the first 20 years of his career with IBM selling typewriters. Nobody sold typewriters better than Darrell. Rather than mess with the new “computer fad,” Darrell left IBM and he and Judy opened an insurance agency in Bountiful, Larson Insurance Services, where they worked for the next 20 years. Despite being president of the local chamber of commerce, Darrell never had a great business model – often “forgiving” client premiums, taking over car payments, and caring for every widow in town. But it was never about selling typewriters or insurance; Darrell’s business was about his ministry. Darrell finally agreed to retire so he and Judy could serve missions – one to Nairobi, Kenya and another to Rochester, New York.

To know Darrell was to love him, because he loved you. His eye twinkle

and wry grin let you know you were in on the joke. He loved a good Jazz game or baseball game, shoulder rubs, a suspenseful Grisham novel or spy film, a George Shearing LP, high school reunions, and a Seigfreid's bratwurst and hot potato salad. You could find him monthly serving food at St. Vincent’s soup kitchen and weekly serving in the Bountiful Temple. He loved to listen to his kids argue over politics and make fun of them for taking themselves too seriously. Darrell was a great coach, counselor, teacher, husband, father, and friend. His was a life well lived.

Can’t wait to see you again pops!

Funeral services will be held Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, at 11 a.m., at the Centerville Stake Center (950 North Main St., Centerville).

Viewings will be held Friday evening, Sept. 1, 2023, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Russon Brothers Mortuary, (295 North Main St., Bountiful) and Saturday morning prior to the service at the stake center from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Bountiful City Cemetery.

Understanding Grief: Caring for Yourself, Caring for Others

Thursday, September 14, 2023

6:45–8pm

Larkin Sunset Gardens Mortuary

1950 East Dimple Dell Road, Sandy, Utah

SPEAKER

William G. (Bill) Hoy, PH.D., FT

Author • Educator • Grief Counselor • Chaplain

Bereavement is not about “recovery,” but rather, about finding renewed life. The basic task for a bereaved person is to learn to live in a radically–changed world that no longer includes the physical relationship with our loved one. In this practical, community workshop, Dr. Bill Hoy will help bereaved people and those who care for them understand the practical steps to take charge of their grief and live again, even in the aftermath of incredible sorrow. For those in attendance who are curious about how to help, there will be ample ideas for the practical things to say and do (as well as to not say and do!).

During the workshop, we’ll find answers together to questions like:

• What simple actions can I take now to get my life back on track?

• Is what I’m feeling and seeing normal?

• How do I deal with well–meaning friends and their unwanted advice?

• The holidays are coming; what in the world are we going to do without them?

This event is complimentary of Larkin Mortuary and registration is not required.

For more information, call (801) 571-2771

Bookings are listed as reported to the Journal from the DC Sheriff’s Office. All individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty and convicted.
