Full-day kindergarten successful so far

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—Kindergarten can be exciting but also a little frightening for an incoming child going to school for the first time. For years, Utah children have gone to kindergarten for a half day. With the passage of SB127 during the last legislative session, schools can choose to offer full-day kindergarten.

“We’ve been seeing signs in fourth grade that kids are struggling because they were in first grade during COVID,” said Traci Robbins, Elementary Director for Davis School District. “It’s a good time for full-day kindergarten. We’ve looked at the research. Four schools were in a pilot program last year. There was a big difference in kids who had full

day going into first grade knowing their letters and sounds. They had more time to practice in full day.”

Robbins said the district had to determine what that would look like. “We wanted to build a robust, rigorous curriculum that would serve students but leave room for play and build the social and emotional skills that they need. Things like taking turns, learning to sit still, basic skills that can be built into the schedules as well as academics.”

Some parents were happy about full day and others didn’t want it, she said. “In our culture we tend to hold our children tight. Others had just been waiting for it.”

Individual schools can choose to offer half day for those parents who don’t want full day, said Robbins. “All the core curriculum will be taught in the morning

so half day kids get it. They’ll still be getting the curriculum, those in full day will just be getting more exposure to it. It’s like if you practice the piano for 40 minutes you’re going to be better than if you only practice 20 minutes.”

There are still children who have separation anxiety and don’t want to comply, she said. “We saw it in first grade in full day too.”

Right now there are only two to four children in a class who are staying half day, Robbins said. “Teachers use TAs (teacher’s aide) to help at station rotation so that the teacher can support children in other content areas.”

Parents who are undecided or want a gradual release can let the principal know, she said. “We’ll watch. But it

SOL Recovery Center shines a light in the darkness of addiction

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

WOODS CROSS—Kendra Baum started using drugs as a teen then took up drinking. Now she is sober and wants to help others who are struggling with addiction. Baum opened the doors to SOL Recovery Community two weeks ago in time for National Recovery Month. It’s a place close to her heart where she hopes through treatment, people can find the joy she has found.

It hasn’t been an easy road though. “I got married and my spouse struggled with alcoholism,” she said. “It was hard to watch him in his own recovery.”

Baum had been sober for about five years when she relapsed during her undergraduate studies. “I found out I was pregnant with my son the day before I graduated,” she said. “It’s one thing to put that in my body but to my unborn son’s body – that was not an option. I dusted off my tool box but my partner didn’t.”

WXHS undefeated in Region 5 volleyball

BountifulBountiful beat Viewmont 25-15, 25-13, 25-13 Sept. 12.

“The girls played a very consistent and high-level match,” said head coach Kelsie White. “In practice, we focused a lot on serving and passing, and it showed against Viewmont. I challenged the girls to attack serving and they did exactly that. Our serving totaled 12 aces in a three-set match, with Adelaide Stevenson contributing four and Hallie Hewlett three. The serving set the tone, keeping them out of system, allowing our block to do their job, and giving us a strong advantage. Viewmont played a great match and did some great things. They are not a team to take lightly.”

Against Northridge Sept. 14, the Redhawks won 25-18, 25-16, 25-14.

“We played another great game,” White said. “Northridge always shows up against us and brings an awesome student section which makes for a really fun and competitive environment for everyone. I challenged the girls to stay consistent and confident throughout the match and they did a great job. Our outsides Taylor and Milika had a great night and showed just how dominant we are on the pins. Our passing was solid with Adelaide as libero, giving us lots of options to spread the offense. Hallie kept the flow going all night and again had some key runs with her serving. I was so proud of the girls. They make coaching so fun!”

Bountiful remains undefeated in Region 5 through five matches and are 8-5 this year.

Woods Cross Woods Cross defeated Bonneville 25-11, 25-22, 25-23 behind 10 kills from freshman Alisi Tapa’atoutai and seven from junior Nesi Pututau, who hit .715. The duo also had five blocks between them to protect the net for the Wildcats. Tapa’atoutai and senior Akilisi Pahulu both served three aces with Pahulu recording 13 assists in running the offense. Sophomore Avery Poulton had nine digs on the back line with senior Anau Tua’one adding seven.

Against Viewmont Sept. 14, Woods Cross won in five sets 21-25, 28-26, 2025, 25-16, 15-8. Poulton’s 20 skills were tops for the Wildcats while Tapa’atoutai put away 16 kills with no errors, hitting .552. They also had four and three blocks, respectively at the net. Freshman Zamari Christensen ran the offense, recording 41 assists, and also led the team’s defense with 20 digs. Four others – freshman Ella Hinton (17), Poulton (16), senior Dani Brey (16), and junior Nesi Pututau (12) –also had double-digit digs in contributing to Woods Cross’ total of 102 as a team. The Wildcats are now 5-0 in Region 5 and 10-3 overall.

CenterPoint behind the scenes - scenic painting

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com

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

CENTERVILLE - Even with all of the innovations in construction, projection, and other effects, there will always be a need for scenic artists on the set of a theater production. Whether that is to paint the actual sets and set pieces or to paint the floors and the theater itself, someone skilled with brush and paint is indispensable at a theater.

For CenterPoint, that person is Cynthia Klumpp. A California native, Klumpp, and her family came to Utah after her husband got a job in Cedar City, which is where she got her start in the world of scenic painting, at the nearby Tuacahn Center for the Arts. “(It was) something that was just kind of natural,” she said.

Klumpp’s path to theatrical artistry was somewhat nontraditional. Not having taken any courses, she said she more or less had to teach herself out of scenic painting books, copying what she saw onto the set as her canvas. Obviously, though, it was a good fit, “I absolutely love it,” she said, expressing that the way she was guided to the vocation was “kind of God’s will.”

Bringing 8 years of painting experience at Tuacahn to CenterPoint, Klumpp is certainly no slouch. In addition to painting at CenterPoint, Klumpp still does work all over the state, and the county, pitching in where she can because not only does she love the work, but as she put it, “I love the challenge.”

And what a challenge it is. Depending on the show, and the set, a scenic painter needs to go through many different steps in painting which can amount to being a cou -

ple thousand square feet of surface area, and it’s not as simple as just rolling on a coat of paint either.

When it comes to scenic painting, there are many different methods, all geared toward making what is on stage look like something else. Sometimes that means painting on woodgrain to make something look like natural timber, other times it means using different tools like sea sponges and spatter to create interesting and natural-looking textures for stone, stucco, or other material.

Then, of course, there are 3D effects: adding in highlights and shadows to create the illusion for the audience of depth on flat surfaces. Together with lighting effects, scenic painting can really go a long way in tricking the eye and fooling the audience into believing there is more to the set than is actually there. This can save a lot of time and money on construction and has been a theater convention for centuries.

Cynthia Klumpp, however, goes above and beyond. One of the artist’s favorite things to paint at CenterPoint has been the floor. “The floor is just a giant canvas,” she said, pointing out various amazing creations from past shows, including a freehand design she created for “Elf the Musical.” In a theater like CenterPoint, it really goes a long way, especially for the people sitting in the balcony, which Klumpp says are the best seats in the house.

With over 100 shows under her belt, Cynthia Klumpp has worked with many people and can speak with authority when she says, “I love working here. These people are amazing and have heart. We are professionals.” Klumpp's work, and the work of those who create alongside her, certainly shows that they are indeed professionals, and have a clear passion for their work. l

Hill History – The Korean War and Ruby Jewell Timms Price

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com

Editor’s note: This is the second in a series of articles about the history of Hill Air Force Base and the people who worked there.

HILL AIR FORCE BASE—Officially deemed a “police action,” The Korean War has long been known as the Forgotten War. The major changes to operations at Hill, however, really kicked off several years before the start of the conflict, in 1947.

Since the incorporation of aircraft in the military, those involved with military aviation have been part of the United States Army. Founded in 1918 as the United States Army Air Service, aviators entered World War Two under the banner of the United States Army Air Corps, before ending service as the United States Army Air Forces.

Then, in 1947, the United States Air Force became its own separate branch of the military, and accordingly, in 1948 Hill Field was officially renamed Hill Air Force Base. It wasn’t long after this change, in 1950, when the Korean War officially began, and operations at Hill ramped up once again.

As the war began, the first contribution made by those at Hill was to pull B-29s and B-26s, both WWII-era heavy bombers, out of mothballs, and restore and refit them for combat. The immediate availability of these aircraft was extremely advantageous to the U.S. and its allies during the early stages of the

conflict.

Throughout the Korean War, and following, Hill continued to refit and expand, repairing and restoring new jet-powered aircraft, dedicating a new runway in 1956, and more as the personnel and employees made their way into the second half of the 20th century.

While all of this was happening, a person with strong ties to Hill was just starting to make history. Galvanized by the loss of her brother in the service, Ruby Jewell Timms Price had come to Hill Field during World War II hoping to become a fighter pilot. While that dream didn’t end up coming true, it didn’t deter her from lending her service in other ways at the Ogden Arsenal.

Price had been a teacher in Texas before making the journey to Utah, and following the war, she earned her master's degree from BYU. In the face of unabashed bigotry and racism, became likely the first black teacher in the state of Utah in 1950 in Brigham City. Despite an early rejection from the district in the 1940s, Price returned to Davis County, and taught there for many years.

Price was a trailblazer in many ways, serving as the first president of the NAACP in Ogden, winning Utah’s Mother of the Year award in 1977, and of course, teaching the countless students to pass through her classroom doors, among many other accomplishments.

Known to many as “Grandma Ruby,” Ruby J. T. Price never forgot her start at Hill, and even still called the base her home years later. Utah, and the world at large, is certainly a better place for this Hill alumni. l

Fun HOCO traditions

By Owen Stephens Davis Journal intern

How did you ask your date to Homecoming? “I bought her favorite soda, and with those I spelled out, “Can” you come to Home Coming with me? She responded with Jarrito drinks, and on the poster said, “I’d be Soda lighted to go with you.”

Many schools in Davis have a tradition of doing an event called “Powder Puff.” The event is very popular, It consists of Junior and Senior girls playing in either flag or touch football games. It is a fun tradition that primarily goes on around Homecoming or Prom, and the entrance fees are used to help fund the upcoming dance. The idea originated in 1945 from a girl named Suzie Lowry who said, “If we are going to Homecoming, we need to have a football game too”.

Another fun and popular tradition is the Homecoming Parade. The parade shows the school's clubs, sports teams, faculty, and staff. Though often it may seem silly, it is a fun way to get to know your school and show your school pride and spirit. If you are in a club, it is an ability to help branch out your club as well. Overall, it’s a fun and great event.

Other than the dance, there is the infamous Homecoming football game.

ONE OF THE MANY creative ways students use to ask one another to the dance.

The day before the dance is when it primarily happens, and it is an exceptionally good “excuse” to go and cheer on your team, as well as show your school. Other than potential playoff or championship games, this is the most attended football game of the whole season and overall is a fun time, and a fun way to cheer on your school. l

The extremely functional and modern building was built with the aid of $240,000 in federal funds and is located at a site just east of the Orchard Ward Chapel in 7100 South Street.

1963 School district continues growth

For the past several years, the increase in enrollment in the Davis County School district has hit around 2000 at the beginning of each school year. This year the increase reached 3322 over that of last year. However, this included the 1714 who registered in the newly adopted kindergarten program. So the actual increase was only 1608, somewhat lower than it has been in the past few years.

1973 Davisites drive to work

In Davis County, the figures show a considerable portion of the working population, 55.5 percent, are employed within the county. That is more than in some parts of the country and less than in others.

In Davis County, an estimated 83 percent of the working population travel to their jobs by car, either alone or with others. Another nine percent work at home or are near enough to their places of employment to walk there.

1983 NSL rejects city hall

NORTH SALT LAKE – An $800,000 bond issue was rejected by North Salt Lake voters last week in a special election which city officials hoped would have provided funds for an expanded city complex.

Only about 30 percent of the city’s registered voters turned out for the election. The vote was not a landslide by any means, however, with 472 votes against the bond and 348 votes for the proposal. There are 2,680 registered voters in North Salt Lake.

Ballard says these allegations, as well as allegations of sexual misconduct on his part during Operation Underground Railroad operations, are untrue.

A Walk to End Alzheimer’s set for Sept. 23 at Barnes Park

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—There are more than 6.7 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. By 2050 that number is projected to increase to nearly 13 million. It is the only leading disease without a cure.

On Sept. 23, community members, caregivers and loved ones of those living with the disease will gather at 9 a.m. at Barnes Park, 950 W. 200 North in Kaysville to join in the Weber/Davis Walk to End Alzheimer’s. The event, put on by the Alzheimer’s Association of Utah, is to help raise funds to provide services and support research to find a cure.

“It’s an intergenerational problem,” said Wendy Farr, Development Manager for the Northern Utah Alzheimer’s Association. “It’s not just grandpa and grandma. It’s their kids and grandkids who take care of them. It impacts the entire family.”

There’s less an emphasis on the walk and more on gathering to support those on the journey of living through the diagnosis, she said. “We provide resources to let them know they don’t have to do it alone.”

A Promise Garden Ceremony will be held at 10 a.m. “There are four colors represented,” said Farr. “Yellow stands for the caregiver, Blue represents those who have the diagnosis, Orange is the impact it is having on members of the community and Purple represents those who have lost someone to the illness.”

Farr said she’s volunteered for years. “Every time I walk the route uphill there is a sea of purple flowers. It’s gut wrenching to realize they represent someone who has died. But it is also uplifting, positive and hopeful to focus on research and to support one another.”

During the ceremony someone stands on the stage to represent a color, she said. “We have one white flower, usually a young person, to represent the first person who will be cured.”

A few months ago, two new treatments became available with a possible impact to slow the disease, Farr said. “In January there was expedited approval

and then full approval. Then the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) came out and said they were not planning on covering the new treatment. It was very disheartening.”

As an association, they made several public comments, she said. “We have no stake in the game like pharmaceuticals. We want to make sure a patient’s family or doctor doesn't make a decision based on whether it’s covered.”

Several rallies were held at Capitol buildings in all 50 states, said Farr. “They reversed their decision and said they were going to cover it. I’ve never been a part of something that made a difference so quickly and had such a big impact. Hopefully this is the beginning of treatment for our families.”

It’s all about access, she said. “It’s exciting that we made a difference. It’s very rewarding.”

People can register for the walk ahead of time at alz.org/walk and select Utah then look under the Kaysville Davis/Weber area. “Or you can also just attend,” Farr said. “We hope by being at the park people will stumble upon us. When we tell people what we do they say, ‘I wish I had known about you two years ago.’”

The walk goes along a route with one that is shorter or one that is longer, she said. “Don’t get hung up on the walk part. It can be intergenerational with people walking with strollers while grandma stays back at the park.”

Farr said they will have a park bench that they take from place to place. “It is a memory bench to give families the opportunity to write a loved one’s name on it. To see people writing a loved one’s

name is pretty impactful. It also gives an additional moment to pause for those who didn’t have the opportunity to be in an era of treatment like now.”

No one can remove the journey, she said. “It is what it is, but we can support and maybe take away some of the pebbles along the pathway and make it a little smoother.”

Barnes Park is located at 950 W. 200 North, Kaysvillel

Local businessman receives Davis Chamber’s Legacy Award

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

LAYTON—Each year the Davis Chamber selects an individual or company that has made a positive impact on the county to receive the Legacy Award. It is the highest honor given by the Chamber and this year’s recipient is Gary Petersen, the founding partner and managing partner of Adams & Petersen CPAs.

“I attended a meeting at the Chamber 23 years ago,” said Petersen. “Chris Dallin was there and said I should go to legislative affairs. I showed up to the meeting and the rest is history.”

Petersen said he has been on the board in some capacity or another since that time. “I served as Chairman in 2005 and 2021.”

It’s unique because no one has served twice, he said. “I guess I just hung around long enough because there are plenty of really good people. I feel guilty for having had the opportunity twice.”

Petersen has been a West Point City Council member for 22 years and on the North Davis Fire District Board as chair or vice chair for a total of 16 years. “I’ve really enjoyed serving and contributing to the community. With my financial background I thought it would be a good fit.”

It has a lot to do with the people he’s serving with, said Petersen. “The other council members and staff have made it so I wanted to stay. At the end of the year I will have completed my service. It will be a big change to be off the City Council and the North Davis Fire District Board. I’ll have to find something to fill my Tuesdays.”

It won’t be hard, said Petersen. “I will have seven

grandkids (one is on the way) so I’ll spend time with them. My daughter who is having her first baby was 3 years old when I started on the City Council. My family is so used to me going off to City Council every other Tuesday or to Chamber events.”

Petersen has played a role in many aspects of the Chamber. He was a past chairman of the Transportation Committee and has participated in the Lakesiders, the Chamber’s ambassador group. He also serves on the PARC (Pioneer Adult and Rehabilitation Center) Board and is Vice Chairman of its national affiliate, Service

Source.

“I enjoy serving with PARC,” he said. “It helps individuals with disabilities to try and get work to become more self-sustaining. Service Source does the same thing nationally.”

It’s incredibly rewarding. “Giving back is an important piece,” said Petersen. “It’s different for everyone. Some are taking care of a family or helping those around them. It just happens that I enjoy doing these things in this way.”

Petersen went to Weber State University and grew up in Clinton. “I’ve always been local,” he said. “My upbringing was in a pretty quiet place. I feel fortunate to be involved in the things that I have.”

It should be a joint award, said Petersen. “My wife is a huge part of this. It’s me who shows up to do what I do but in reality my wife is the person behind the scenes allowing and encouraging me to be able to do it.”

It’s been easy to stay involved in the Chamber, he said. “I’ve been able to associate with so many great people. I’ve gotten so much more from the Chamber than I’ve given. I’ve developed lifelong relationships.”

Chamber members want to serve, said Petersen. “By nature they’re good people. I’m glad to rub shoulders with those people. They’re wonderful.”

This was a huge surprise to be nominated for the award, he said. “I’m so grateful. I realize there are a lot of good people out there. It’s an honor to be singled out for a moment.”

The award will be presented to Petersen at the Chamber’s annual Business Awards Banquet Sept. 28. l

PEOPLE OF ALL AGES can join in the walk.

SOL

It took years of experiencing him coming in and out of addiction, she said. “It’s hard being the wife of someone seeking recovery. When we’re in active addiction we don’t know what it does to our family. You can’t change the addiction but you can go with them to a recovery program. It helps you understand the addiction and how to be well as their loved one.”

Families need to be supported too, she said. “They need solutions for helping the addict and what needs to take place to get well. It’s a disease that affects the whole family. Without help it can reduce the possibility for long term recovery.”

For every 10 people in recovery there is one family member asking for help, said Baum. “It’s not just the one person who struggles with that addiction.”

After taking a break from school, Baum went back to finish her master’s degree. “I knew recovery and addiction is where I wanted to be,” she said. “I was working at Disability Services in Salt Lake and they knew there was something I was passionate about. So they asked what I wanted to do. I poured out my soul on paper. They said they were on board – ‘let’s do this.’”

Baum said creating SOL had been on her heart for a long time. “SOL is Latin for Sun. One of the things that was important to me was to consider the name for my company. Sun stands for the light in the darkness. My darkest depth was when I was in my addiction, I felt hopeless. If we’re living our truth it gives oth-

ers the ability to live theirs.”

The sun rises every day, she said. “It’s a new opportunity to not be the same person. There’s always a new day.”

Baum said she doesn’t think there are enough options for mental health services. “People are being incarcerated when it’s really a mental health issue. It takes time. It’s a complex issue. We have so much further to go as a community.”

Counselors at the center will also treat people who are not just impacted by addiction, she said. “Since COVID we’re seeing extreme anxiety and fear that stemmed from it.”

Baum’s husband is two years in sobriety. “We don’t know who is going to become an addict,” she said. “They need family support to help them. Family members need to be ready for when they want treatment before they lose that window. Take the shame away before it kills the people we love.”

The more shame the harder it is for their loved ones to get better, said Baum. “Talk to each other. We should share with the people around us to see that we’re not as alone as we thought we were. But because there is no conversation we don’t know that.”

Baum’s husband and children are all supporting her with the center. “It’s in our own community that we live in. That is part of the reason we picked the location we did. We want to offer help to those around us and the service is a labor of love.”

GET IN THE RIVER

Around 100 people participated in the 10th Annual North Salt Lake Paddle portion of the Get to the River Festival, Saturday, Sept 16th. The kayak and canoe excursion on the Jordan River began at 1835 N. Redwood Rd and ended at Porter's Landing in North Salt Lake. Davis County and the Jordan River Commission provided financial support to make this event the best attended, yet.

Ali Avery, Event Coordinator called the area “A beautiful part of the river” and participants shared how much fun they had. One group of teenagers even used it as part of their “day-date.” Even though one person “fell in,” NSL still plans to hold it next year and will add concrete to Porter’s Landing for an easier exit from the river.

‘Narnia’ a story of love and redemption

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—Come get swept away into the magical land of Narnia, where animals talk and mythical creatures roam as Illume Dance performs an original stage adaptation at Woodland Park in Farmington. Based on the C.S. Lewis classic, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” the production tells the story through dance.

“Emily (Brokinskie, Illume owner) and Cami (Wardle, business partner) wanted the opportunity to bring uplifting art to the community,” said cast member and marketing director Melissa Parr. “Something positive, entertaining and joyful for everyone. Also to give an opportunity for adults to perform. There’s not a lot out there unless you’re a professional.”

It is creating a community, she said. “People want to be involved in that.”

Narnia is aimed at families, said Parr. “It’s something that is fun for kids. It has magic, good and evil and battles but adults see the deeper meaning of healing. It provides something for everyone.”

This is Brianne Pottorff’s first year being in Narnia and already she’s excited to be a part of it. “I dance in the army section of Narnia,” she said. “I was drawn to the fact that it's their third year doing it. The music they picked and that they’re staying with the true message –that’s what I like about it. The potential of it becoming an annual thing is amazing and having something the community can get excited about seeing every year.”

Pottorff said she has also enjoyed getting to know the other actors. “We’ve gotten friendlier and had more fun and enjoyed each other’s company. I see the relationships between us and this story.”

Narnia has had an impact on her personally, she said. “Aslan represents my relationship with God. To know someone is out there watching you. It’s kind of

a story that is a universal thing for the community and for me.”

Caroline and Mark Solomon have made Narnia a family affair. “This is my second time and my husband’s first time,” said Caroline. “I’m in the army of Aslan and he’s Mr. Tumnus.”

Mark hasn’t danced before but he’s willing to try new things, said Caroline. “I’m a teacher at Illume and I’ve been dancing since I was little. I convinced him to come and audition. We were short male dancers. He likes it better than I thought he would. He’s never danced in a show but he likes to perform.”

Narnia has created a community for adults to act, she said. “Adults stop doing the things they love. This allows them to share their talents and have a place to do that and meet with like minded people.”

It’s a story about redemption and overcoming challenges, Caroline said. “It’s important to portray that it is not over if you make a mistake, you can come back. It’s about love and forgiveness.”

It’s down to two: local Region 5 girls’ soccer teams battling for playing positioning

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

With just a pair of games left in the regular season, the Bountiful girls’ soccer team is in good shape.

The 11-3 Redhawks are 10-2 in Region 5, half a game in front of Clearfield for the top spot. Perhaps more importantly, Bountiful is fifth in the RPI rankings, meaning it would have a first-round bye to start the playoffs.

Bountiful took care of Viewmont on Tuesday, winning 4-1 on the road. It was similar to the Redhawks’ 4-0 shutout of the Vikings on Aug. 31 in the last meeting between the teams. This time around, Bountiful had two goals in each half. Myka Page had a stat-filling day, as she scored twice and had two assists on the day. Caroline Hellewell also had two assists. She had a goal too, as did Ellyse Kessler. Daisy Williams played goalie in the first half and got credited with half a shutout, as she didn’t allow anything past her.

On Sept. 14, Bountiful didn’t have much trouble with Northridge in a 4-0 shutout on the road. Four Redhawks scored in the game: Page, Kessler, Hellewell, and Oakley Jensen. Hellewell and Bell Sorensen had two assists, while Williams got the shutout.

Bountiful plays at home against Clearfield in a huge match on Thursday. The winner will win the region title and could move up in RPI rankings. The final regular season game for the Redhawks is at home against Box Elder on Sept. 26.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats are right in the middle of the Region 5 race with a 6-6 mark in league play. Woods Cross is also 7-6 overall and has the No. 14 spot in the RPI rankings. Woods Cross is riding a two-game winning streak, scoring three goals in both victories. On Tuesday, the Wildcats beat Bonneville 3-2 in an exciting game. Playing on its home field, Woods Cross got goals from three different players, as Nixon Milliron, Bailey Brown and Oakley Anderson scored. Anderson and Clara Howes had assists. Woods Cross was down 1-0 at halftime but had all three of its goals in the second half.

On Sept. 14, Woods Cross beat up on Viewmont 3-0 on the road. Howes had two goals, while Anderson had a goal and an assist. The Wildcats once again had a productive second half, this time scoring twice. On Thursday, Woods Cross hosts Roy, a team it beat 5-1 earlier in the year. On Sept. 26, the Wildcats wrap up the regular season with a game at Northridge.

Viewmont

With two games left to play in the regular season, the Vikings are looking to go out on a high note. The team has lost 10

of its 12 league games and is 3-11 overall.

In Viewmont’s loss to Bountiful on Tuesday, Mazie Tullis assisted on a second-half goal by Mille Egnew. It was the first career goal for the sophomore and the fourth assist of the season for Tullis, a junior.

On Thursday, Viewmont will entertain Box Elder, which beat the Vikings 5-1 on Aug. 24. A winnable game is on the slate for the finale on Sept. 26 against 3-8 Roy. Viewmont earned one of its two region wins the last time it played Roy, prevailing 2-0 on Aug. 29. l

Region 5 football: Woods Cross routs Viewmont; Bountiful doubles up Northridge

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

Region play is in full swing for some local football teams. In Region 5, Woods Cross and Bountiful both won their games last week.

Woods Cross’ win came over Davis County foe Viewmont, with the Wildcats winning in a one-sided affair 47-7. With the victory, Woods Cross is now 2-1 in Region 5 games and 4-2 overall. Viewmont, meanwhile fell to 2-4 overall and is still looking for its first region victory in three tries.

In the game last Friday on Viewmont’s home field, the Wildcats had a huge day on the ground. Woods Cross was so successful running the ball that it only had to throw six passes all night. The Wildcats amassed 394 yards rushing. Cash Henderson and Lock Smoot both went over 100 yards, with Henderson totaling 136 yards on 16 carries and Smoot picking up 127 on 11 carries. Also, five Wildcats scored rushing touchdowns, including Smoot, who had TD runs of 15 and 10 yards. Ben Smith-Mecham was the first to score when he crossed the goal line from 10 yards out early in the first quarter. Henderson had a 2-yard touchdown run with 1:53 remaining in the first quarter to put his team up 14-0.

After Ryker Martin had a 30-yard TD reception from Smoot early in the second quarter, Viewmont got on the board for the first and only time of the

game Daren Tovey threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Drez Jensen with 3:32 before halftime, cutting the margin to 19-7. Woods Cross then added to the advantage just before the break when Charlie Coats had a 7-yard TD run, making it 26-7 Wildcats.

Wood Cross outscored Viewmont 21-0 in the second half to account for the rest of the scoring.

For Viewmont, Dax Nielsen and Tovey each had eight carries, getting 34 and 30 yards, respectively. Kellen Wood was all over the field in a losing effort. The sophomore linebacker racked up 20 tackles. Brock Thrall added 11 tackles, and Tovey, in addition to playing quarterback and throwing a TD, had seven tackles and an interception on defense.

Coats led Woods Cross with six tackles. Henderson had two interceptions along with his fantastic offensive output.

Woods Cross will host Roy on Friday, while Viewmont will entertain Box Elder.

Bountiful

The Redhawks moved to 3-3 overall and 2-1 in Region 5 by defeating Northridge 42-21 last Friday. It was the widest margin of victory for Bountiful this season.

The Redhawks scored in every quarter, putting up 14 points in both the second and third periods. The Redhawks actually led 42-14 late before Northridge scored with under two minutes to play.

Jacob Brooks had two 1-yard touchdown runs on the day and added an 8-yard touchdown reception from Emmerson Geilman in the third quarter. Brandon Tidwell had a 40-yard interception return in the second quarter for the Redhawks’ third score to make it 21-0.

Siaki Fekitoa had a team-high eight carries for 73 yards, as Bountiful had 201 yards on the ground. Geilman only

completed nine passes, but they went for a total of 230 yards and a pair of scores. Brandon Wilkinson had three catches for 84 yards and a touchdown. Brigham Morrison had 71 yards on two catches. He also stood out on defense, getting 11 tackles and 0.5 sacks. Aisake Willis had seven tackles and an interception. Bountiful can move up the standings this Friday when it hosts Clearfield.

OPINION

Need Headline

Ireceived “inside information” from a law enforcement official several weeks ago, so I wasn’t surprised when the county attorney announced last week that the death of a young man in Farmington was justified police action. I don’t know why there was a two-month delay in issuing the ruling; just chalk it up to the slow grind of justice, comparable to actually seeing a doctor regardless of your appointment time.

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

The police incident began with a simple traffic stop which should have resulted in a misdemeanor fine. The driver, a young man in his early 20s, was driving a car without a license plate. Instead, the plate area contained a placard claiming that the driver had “constitutional sovereignty”.

When stopped, the young man refused to roll down his window more than a few inches, then refused to hand over identification, telling the Farmington police officer that as a “sovereign citizen” he didn’t need to comply.

Oh, and the driver had a gun in a holster, and, during a scuffle in which the officer opened the car door, the driver reached for the gun.

The investigation by the county attorney validated the incident report by the police. It also noted that the gun was loaded.

As I wrote earlier this year, the culprit was not the police officer who pulled the driver over or any of the other officers later called to the scene. The real culprit was the driver’s flirtation with the “sovereignty” complex – a right-wing conspiracy concept repeatedly struck down by numerous state and federal courts.

These followers despise the federal government, believe state governments

have no jurisdiction over them, claim they are free from taxation and are not required to obey traffic laws which limit their constitutional right to travel freely. They see themselves as patriots; others would call them illiterate freeloaders. Citizenship entails responsibilities. Federal and state constitutions and local laws and ordinances contain a host of requirements from income and property taxes to valid license plates and driver’s licenses to pet permits.

Life comes with a short instruction manual including the simple idea that we comply with lawful orders from a law enforcement officer. If you feel that the officer went beyond his legal duty, file a complaint, or seek an attorney, but don’t refuse to stop your vehicle, answer questions, or show personal identification. And certainly, don’t put your hand on a loaded weapon within several feet of a cop.

As noted when it happened, the death resulted from a man raised in a home full of anti-government flim-flam who baited a young policeman simply wanting to fulfill his duties, return home after his shift, and get a good night’s rest.

The county attorney’s ruling, which came after detailed viewing of police bodycam footage, is not a whitewash of improper police behavior. What it shows is that tragedy can occur when radicals pursue a delusional understanding of the Constitution.

Aaron Rodgers – life changes

National football star Aaron Rodgers’ football career may be over, but maybe not. It’s hard to keep a good man down. Sometimes, there is too much to overcome to come back.

GLENN MOLETTE AUTHOR

Many of us watched the mega media debut of Rodgers as a New York Jets quarterback. His move from Green Bay after 18 seasons catapulted him to New York City celebrity status. He came to the Jets after a hugely successful career with the Packers. His accomplishments were many and include a Super Bowl ring. He has received the Super Bowl MVP award and four NFL MVP awards. He was touted as the man who would revitalize the Jet’s program and lead them to glory.

Rodgers’ financial package to make the move from Wisconsin to the Jets’ program was $75 million dollars over two years. The money is guaranteed even though he may never play again. Rodgers reportedly took a salary cut to make the move.

During last week’s Monday night football game on the fourth play of the game, Rodgers’ Achilles heel tendon was torn during the play. The injury requires surgery and the rest of the season to rehabilitate. The spirit of the electrified crowd spiraled south as Rodgers was transported off the field. Unfortunately, Rodgers’ injury goes along with the game of football and can happen in most any sport. People can and do get hurt. There are no guarantees.

Life has no guarantees. We aren’t guaranteed another day. Regardless of the size of the financial package, doctor’s report, health, prior success, or talent, none of us can count on anything for sure. We can say we are going to travel to a certain city and do business. Yet, there is no guarantee we will be able to complete the trip. We can promise we will work a job for ten years but it all depends on our health and good fortune. We aren’t assured of another day. We hope, we have faith, we trust, we believe, and we try to make good on our commitments. After this, it’s all in the hands of God. We do hope Aaron Rodgers recuperates and is able to end his career on a higher note. I suspect that today he might be happy to end his football career by simply being able to play and walk off the field.

Depending on our circumstances, our lives and perspectives seem to always be changing.

Davis is now 4-7 on the year and 0-1 in the region standings.

Viewmont

In Viewmont’s three-set loss to Bountiful, senior Julia Baird led the Vikings with 13 kills while senior Maddie Lege served up half of the team’s 10 aces. Sophomore Miya Edgington had 34 assists in running the offense while junior Vanessa Haddock recorded 18 digs and senior Brittley Gines added 11. Baird and Lege had three blocks each at the net.

“Bountiful made some offensive lineup changes in their rotations which proved to be very effective against us,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “The match started off rather close throughout the beginning of the first set. They won the serve-receive battle and served stronger than us from the start.”

Viewmont ended the week with a fiveset loss to Woods Cross, falling to 2-3 in the Region 5 standings and 7-8 so far this season.l

can’t be full day one day and then half the next.”

Out of 162 classrooms of full day in the district, only nine are half day, said Robbins. “It’s driven by parent preference. We want to provide for a part time option.”

Robbins said the district received a grant that allowed every kindergarten teacher to select furniture for their classroom. “They can get a play kitchen, ta-

ble, theater, etc. that is somewhat structured and can be redirected if needed.”

One teacher created discovery boxes, she said. “She had puzzles, Legos, paper and crayons, trucks, sand toys, dolls, etc. During free time three kids could be at a box. The next day they had to choose something they didn’t do the day before to develop skills along with academic learning.”

It provided free choice, Robbins said. “Kids are taught to follow directions, clean up, put away all of the box-

Karen Smith Soelberg 1946 - 2023

Karen passed away from heart failure on Sept. 14, 2023. She was the youngest and last surviving child of Thomas Ole (T.O.) and Nina Hadley Smith. She was born June 14, 1946, in Wilson, Utah, and grew up on a farm. She graduated from Weber High School and then attended BYU for two years where she met and married LeGrand B. Soelberg on October 21, 1965, in the Salt Lake Temple.

Karen and LeGrand have five children, Karilyn (Doug), Chris (Sara), Kimberlee (Brian), Michael (Tammy), and Teresa (Bryan). They moved several times as their family grew. They lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Coos Bay, Oregon, Granger, Utah, West Bountiful, Utah, and finally in Bountiful, Utah.

As a busy mom and working as a cook at Viewmont High School, Karen went back to school to earn her nursing degree. She worked in geriatrics at South Davis Community Hospital for 27 years. After retiring, she volunteered at Barton Creek Senior Living Center. She became friends with many patients and family members over the years. She will be remembered for always being an advocate for the patient.

They enjoyed living in West Bountiful but felt like they needed a little larger home. Karen found their current home while LeGrand was out of town, and she told him when he came through town he needed to stop and sign papers on the house (sight unseen). They have enjoyed living in Bountiful and the ward is fantastic. Since living here, she has become known as the "Fix-it Lady" and the house with the holiday inflatables. She retired in 2013 and spent her extra time doing puzzles, sewing, working on the house and yard, and spending time with family. Karen joined LeGrand who passed in 2020. They have eighteen grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The family always enjoyed getting together to eat grandma's good food and play games

at her home.

She was a lifelong member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She was involved in Cub Scouts and earned the Silver Beaver award, served as Primary President with over 300 kids at the time, served in the Relief Society and Young Women presidencies, and many other callings. Her home was always open to anyone who needed a place to stay, especially friends of her children (one who became an "adopted" daughter) and many sleepovers of the grandchildren.

There will be a viewing Friday, Sept. 22, 2023, from 6-8 p.m., at Russon Mortuary located at 295 North Main, Bountiful, Utah. Funeral services will be held Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023, at 11:00 a.m. at the Heights Stake Center at 33 South Moss Hill Drive, Bountiful, Utah with a viewing from 9:30-10:30 a.m. prior to funeral services. The interment will be at the Ogden City Cemetery.

Services will be streamed live on Russon Mortuary & Crematory Facebook page.

es and say to each other ‘thank you for playing with me.’”

At first some teachers were resistant to full day, she said. “They said they couldn’t handle more than a half day. Once they started they became believers because they can go deeper.”

Robbins said they don’t want it to be first grade. “We want them to have standard proficiency and make sure that is solid. It’s brain to hand to page. That’s a difficult task for kids that age.”

Some families absolutely love it, she

said. “But for some families they feel like it is too soon. They want to do dance class in the afternoon or go to the library. Those are all wonderful. If they’re providing experiences for their children it is going to be wonderful.”

It’s a personal choice, said Robbins. “We’ve been doing half day for years and they’re alright. Parents worry their kids are going to be behind. If they can learn they’re going to be fine. We’re not worried about it. Generally speaking it’s going to be great for kids.”l

Lois Marie Heemeyer O’Brien

Sept. 7, 1939 - Sept. 7, 2023

On a day that marked her 84th birthday our beloved Lois Marie Heemeyer (LeMmon) O’Brien peacefully passed away Sept. 7, 2023, from natural causes, surrounded by the love of her family. Lois was born Sept. 7, 1939, to Harold John Harm Heemeyer of Castlewood SD, Hamlin County, and Violet Marie Karrels of Tilford SD, Meade County.

Lois married Garnon A LeMmon and gave birth to four children. They later divorced.

Lois met Gary K. O’Brien at Bountiful Bowl. They fell in love and were married June 19, 1971, in North Salt Lake Utah, Davis County, merging their two families of seven children total.

One year later with her four kids, his three kids, and a $500 loan from his dad, they opened up O’Brien Glass inside Shamrock Gas Station in Centerville. In 1975 they purchased property across the street and down a block or two where they built the first 40x60 building. Over the next few years, they added five more buildings. In a different than normal husband/wife business, Lois ran the employees, numbered 50 at one time, while Gary handled marketing and finances. Lois’ brilliant mind and knack for numbers helped their business become the success it still is today.

Lois was active in the Home Builders Association on a local and national level, going to Washington D.C. several times. She was also on the Board of the Local Chamber of Commerce. For 15 years she ran the Bountiful High School Class of 1958 reunions.

Up until she was injured three years ago, she was very, very active in the running of O’Brien Glass. Even after her injury, she continued to work from home as much as she could.

Lois was a devoted wife, sharing her life with her beloved husband, Gary. She was his everything. His partner. His sounding-board. His Rock. Gary will surely feel the void of her passing.

As a mother, Lois taught her children the value of determination and hard work. She gave her children a wonderful work ethic that continues to bless their lives every day.

Throughout her life, Lois remained fiercely independent and determined to live life to the fullest. She embraced each day with a zest for life that was truly contagious. Her spirit of adventure and her ability to find joy in the simple things will be cherished forever. Throughout her travels, she had an uncanny ability to make lifetime friends. She devoured books like no other. She had a heart of gold, a contagious sense of humor, and a lead foot. GO, MOM!

Becoming a grandma and later a great-grandma brought immense joy to her life. Her eyes would light up with happiness at the sight of her grandchildren,

BIRTHDAY

great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. She treasured every moment spent with them, passing on her wisdom and unconditional love.

Lois’ determination and drive were unparalleled. She achieved remarkable success in her career. Leaving a lasting impact on her field and inspiring countless others to pursue their dreams. Her legacy of success serves as a testament to her unwavering spirit.

As we say our goodbyes to Lois, we remember her with love and gratitude for the impact she had on our lives. Her memory will live on in our hearts a constant reminder of the importance of love, family, and resilience.

Rest in peace, dear Lois. Your love, strength, and enduring spirit will forever guide and inspire us all. You will be deeply missed, but your memory will live on in our hearts for generations to come.

Lois is survived by her husband Gary, four of her children: Kim and (Russell) Smith, Gregory (Janene) LeMmon, Wm Paul (Susan) LeMmon, Cindy Reynolds, Tim Davis, son-in-law Robert Hill, and sister-in-law Jeanne Heemeyer.

Lois has 34 grandchildren, 48 great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. Numerous nieces and nephews.

Lois is preceded in death by her father, her mother, and her brothers: Myron (Mick), James (Jim), and David Heemeyer. children: Susan LeMmon Hill, Gary Scott O'Brien, and Christopher K O’Brien.

Services were held at Russon Mortuary, 295 N. Main St., Bountiful, Utah, Sept. 16, 2023. Interment was next to her daughter at Memorial Lakeview Cemetery, 1640 Lakeview Dr., Bountiful, Utah, just down from the upper road.
