Voter turnout low in municipal elections

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

W

hen the voting booths closed Tuesday night there weren’t a lot of surprises in municipal elections in Davis County. Most incumbents retained their seats and some city councils will get a few new faces. Less than half of registered voters in Davis County cast ballots.

Probably the most watched race was for the U.S. House District 2 to fill the seat left vacant by Congressman Chris Stewart after his resignation earlier this year. Although there were several candidates, the race was mostly between Republican Celeste Maloy and Democrat Kathleen Riebe. Maloy beat out Davis County native Becky Edwards in the primary to take the top spot in the general election against Riebe. After months of campaigning, Maloy swept the race, receiving 15,650, more than double the votes of her opponent at 7,213.

District announces gradual year-byyear consolidation of French program to Foxboro

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

NORTH SALT LAKE—Earlier this year, the Davis School District announced it would be conducting a study to determine whether the French Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program at both Foxboro and Odyssey Elementaries would be consolidated into one school.

On Sept. 22, the district sent a letter to

parents that a decision had been made to consolidate the program to Foxboro.

“We’ve had declining enrollment in both schools over the last four years,” Assistant Superintendent Dr. Logan Toone told the school board at a workshop on Nov. 14. “The problem is there are two programs at schools in adjacent neighborhoods. There are 177 kids over the two schools.”

he defending co-Region 1 champions return to the court with FirstTeam All-State forward Kendra Kitchen – who recently signed to play for Utah Valley University – ranked third in the 6A ranks. The Darts have high hopes after a final four showing in last year’s state tournament.

Also expected to contribute heavily for Davis, who lost just one senior starter from last season, are seniors Kate Richards, Avery Dain, Olivia Lifferth and Maya China, along with sophomores T’Maea Eteuati and Chloe Peery.

“We were pretty young last season and feel like this year we have veteran, experienced players,” head coach Anne Jones, who is in her 14th year with the Darts, said.

Jones said she challenged her girls to use the offseason to improve their fundamentals and come back stronger and in better shape. “We want to be stronger in the areas we felt were weaknesses last season,” she said. “We played quite a bit in the spring and summer and wanted to keep that chemistry going that really developed over the course of the season last year.”

Davis begins the season against Viewmont Nov. 21. The Darts are also scheduled to play Mountain Crest, Riverton, Woods Cross, Timpview, Cyprus, American Fork, Olympus, Murray, Northridge and Mountain Ridge before Region 1 home-and-away matchups with Fremont, Layton, Syracuse, Farmington and Weber. The 6A state tournament will be held Feb. 20 through March 2.

“We want to have fun, make lasting friendships, learn life lessons as well as have a successful season,” Jones said.

“This is a really fun, hard-working group to be around every day. They want to get better each day at practice and take one game at a time and show improvement throughout the season.”

Also on the DHS squad this year are senior Shea Miller; juniors Sydney Plummer, Aubrey Simons and Maki West; sophomores Tatiana Faulua, Emma Loveland, Emy Richards and Kiara Zwonitzer; and freshmen Boston Buhler, Hadlie Chamberlin, Cambell Christensen, Hannah Garlock, Brooklyn Harbertson, Lydia Tarbet and Kate Willard.

Jones is being assisted on the coaching staff this season by Rebecca Parker, Nicole Waddoups and Hannah Loveland. l

ard Higginson held on to their seats and newcomer Matt Murri filled the third seat previously held by Millie Segura Bahr who withdrew from the race shortly after filing.

Centerville City canceled its election in November because there was only one candidate for each open city council seat and no ballot propositions.

All three incumbents in Farmington City retained their seats tallying votes with just a small margin between them.

It was the same in Kaysville City. All three incumbents will continue to serve, with only a few hundred votes separating them.

The two incumbents in Fruit Heights retained their seats and Mark G. Cottrell will become the newest member of the council. All three incumbents in Layton City will return.

North Salt Lake City will have two new councilmembers, Tammy Clayton and Suzette Jackson. Incumbent Ted M. Knowlton will return to the council.

West Bountiful councilmember Rodney J. Wood did not win his bid for reelection, barely being beat out by fellow councilmember James L. Ahlstrom.

Both men were behind Jenn Nielsen who had 914 votes and Dell Butterfield with 735.

Woods Cross incumbents Julie Checketts, Matthew B. Terry and Wallace O. Larrabee won reelection with University of Utah senior Muskan Walia in fourth place.

Only Clinton City had a proposition to be voted on. Proposition 10 asked for the public’s vote to allow the city authorization to impose a 0.1% sales and use tax to fund park improvements, recreational improvements and cultural facilities and organizations for the city. It passed by a narrow margin of 1,889 to 1,081.

Election results are unofficial. The general canvas will take place on Dec. 6 then be presented to the Davis County Board of Canvassers.This will certify the results as final totals. l

Sole occupant found deceased in Bountiful house fire

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—A Bountiful house fire last Thursday afternoon claimed the life of a man who was unable to get out in time.

About 1:15 p.m. on Nov. 16 crews were dispatched to 2336 S. 200 West on a report of a house with smoke coming from the roof, said South Davis Metro Fire Chief Dane Stone. “When crews arrived they could see there was smoke inside the house so they went in. They discover a deceased male on the first floor.”

There were no other occupants in the home, he said. “We don’t know the cause of death. We’re not sure where or how but he had already succumbed to something.”

The fire had been going for a while, said Stone. “The person who called dispatch said it was the roof but when crews arrived they could see it coming from the chimney. They contained the structure and ventilated it for heat reduction for firefighters.”

Stone said it was an older home.

“Crews saw a hole in the floor of the hallway before anyone got hurt. They got good knock down and put the fire out.”

All four stations responded, he said.

“We emptied the firehouse but we had backup from Salt Lake and Gold Cross to run medical calls.”

The scene was turned over to the Bountiful Police Department and the Medical Examiner’s Office. “I’d estimate about $200,000 in damage,” said Stone. “It’s a total loss.” l

Football banquet and dance

The football banquet and dance held at the Davis County High School, Friday, Nov. 16, turned out to be a very great success. The color scheme of gold and brown was carried out in the decoration of the hall and table.

Vern Woolsey, student body president, summarized the football men’s progress while practicing and announced the Toastmaster William Page.

Layton leads in a league to oppose taxation

A move that was launched in Sevier County recently to oppose the present system of taxation and increase of tax levies is responsible for a meeting held in Layton Monday evening when steps were taken to form a county taxpayers league.

A committee of five was appointed to contact the people of the county and invite them to attend a meeting to be held at the Latona hall in Layton on the evening of November 23rd.

Marine officer’s life saved by heroic Kaysville girl

Corporal Illa May Layton, member of the Marine Corps, and stationed at Cherrypoint, N.C., is living up to the Marine tradition and recently became a heroine when she saved the life of a fellow Marine.

A group of Marines, both men and women, were swimming the Atlantic ocean, when Corporal Layton and her male companion, also a Marine officer, ventured a long distance out, towing a surfboard as they swam in the rough sea. A large wave swept over them throwing the board out of hand, which hit her companion on the head, knocking him unconscious. The young woman Marine calmly lifted the unconscious man onto the surfboard and towed him toward shore.

WX modifies burning law

In a recent city council meeting, the Woods Cross burning ordinance, which has been well enforced this year, has been lifted. According to City Councilman Lincoln Haacke, citizens in the area will be allowed to burn from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m., since the critical fire hazard season is over. This will help citizens clear some of the leaves and debris without waiting for the Saturday garbage collection.

Davisites buy appliances

Judging from the number of major household appliances and other equipment that Davis County families have been buying in the last few years, living standards are on the rise locally.

Their purchases of air conditioners, dishwashers, TV and stereo sets, cars, food freezers, and other equipment have been climbing steadily since 1960, despite inflation.

1983

New hotel again proposed in Btfl.

BOUNTIFUL—Now you can add a proposed hotel-convention center complex to the multi-million dollar expansion and renovation program being considered for Bountiful.

A conceptual plan for a major hotel – complete with a family-style restaurant, lounge, and 200-seat convention center – was unveiled to the Bountiful Redevelopment Agency (RDA) board of directors last Wednesday night.

The proposed hotel – probably of the Sheridan chain of hotels – is being considered on the south side of 500 South and west of 500 West.

A fire in a Kaysville home on Monday is believed to be related to a remodeling project but an official cause is still pending.

Kaysville fire crews responded to the scene in the afternoon and achieved “fire control” just before 4:30 p.m. The home, near the intersection of 100 South and 100 West, sustained significant fire, smoke, and water damage throughout. No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

Compiled by Becky Ginos

Authorities said employees and witnesses told them that if they didn’t comply with company rules or if they complained they were threatened with deportation or less pay.

Employees also allege they were not trained on how to operate the equipment and some didn’t even know how to drive. Another employee said he only got a one hour break while being forced to work for 24 hours straight.

Attorney General Sean Reyes said more arrests are expected in the case.

“The treatment of these workers is appalling,” said Reyes in a statement. “We intend to prove the victims are innocent people who came to America using a legal immigration process to work hard, earn a living and contribute to society. But, instead, we believe they were exploited in subhuman living and working conditions as indentured servants in a labor trafficking scheme.”

West Bountiful company executives charged with human trafficking Three executives of Rubicon, a West Bountiful landscaping and snow removal company were charged on Monday with several counts of human trafficking for their alleged dealings with employees brought in from Mexico.

Rubicon President Tyler Brinkman, Chief Financial Officer Clayton Phillips and Human Resource executive Adam Perea were charged with seven counts of Aggravated Human Trafficking and one count of Pattern of Unlawful Activity.

Charges allege the company failed to pay employees and forced them to live in undesirable company-owned housing and forced them to pay rent that was deducted from their pay.

Two chickens killed in Layton house fire A fire that started in the garage of a Layton home last week killed two of seven chickens. Crews were able to quickly extinguish the fire preventing it from spreading to the home’s interior. Officials said the clutter in the garage posed challenges and emphasized the importance of keeping areas clear.

New book tells story of essential Davis County resident

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—The bountiful cemetery is home to a handful of famous and historic graves. Wandering around, people can easily find athletes, public servants, pioneers, and founders. There’s one pioneer grave, however, whose occupant is finally getting the attention she deserves, and having her story told.

Many Davis County residents know the name Perrigrine Sessions, long credited for settling Bountiful, but fewer know the story of his amazing, and hardworking mother, Patty Bartlett Sessions.

Her fourth great-granddaughter, Melissa Tyler, has just written a book that sets out to tell people what an amazing woman she was.

Spanning the years from 1846 through 1888, Patty Sessions’ journals have been of great historical significance to the region for decades, cataloging daily activities, births with which she assisted as a midwife, and more, they are indispensable as a historical document, but, a little hard to digest. That was something Tyler wanted to change, for a very important reason, “I wanted my girls to know her story.”

That wasn’t the only reason, however. Tyler explained that, in doing her research about Sessions, she found that much of the history of the region was written by men, and therefore, somewhat one-sided. Tyler hopes that, in writing Patty’s story in a more approachable

DavisJ ournal.com

way, readers will finally be able to “get the full story,” especially when it comes to things like polygamy in the area.

Tyler also said that she hopes readers can find inspiration in Patty’s life.

“She showed that women can be super industrious and hard workers,” said Tyler. Sessions’ life definitely reflected that. In addition to being a midwife, and helping to deliver thousands of babies on the frontier, Patty worked as a weaver, nursing trees, and was self-sufficient and industrious in every way, “you had to make it yourself,” said Tyler.

More than anything, “It is Patty’s story,” said Tyler, explaining how she endeavored to write the book in such a way that anyone, whether or not they were familiar with the history of Utah and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Though it was difficult, Tyler says the process was rewarding, especially to be able to give a voice to such an outstanding woman, and important figure in Davis County history.

“I hope,” said Tyler, “the broader takeaway is a desire to learn more about these women’s stories,” referring not only to Patty Sessions but the many amazing women who helped to build and shape not only Davis County but the entire Intermountain West. The book, in graphic novel format, is titled “Midwife Of The Wild Frontier,” and will be available for sale on Amazon, Benchmark Books, The King's English Bookshop, and Marissa’s Bookshop in the near future. l

OPINION S

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

Cyclops ranks his pre-pandemic predictions CYCLOPS

ome three years ago I wrote a column predicting what our society would look like when the pandemic was over. Today, we still see cases of new COVID strains, but it is generally agreed that the pandemic is ended, and we are completing the cycle to normalcy.

Were my predictions correct?

Well, there were highs and lows.

I predicted that online purchases would continue their climb, resulting in vacancies at retail malls and strip center developments. Retail stores have made a slight comeback, but developers are not investing in retail buildings. Layton Hills Mall has weathered the pandemic, others around the U.S. have filed bankruptcy, but Farmington’s Station Park is still expanding. (Prediction Grade: B) I predicted that individuals would be eager to travel, but that the cruise ship industry would have a tough time coming back and that companies would still be reluctant to send staff to national and regional conventions.

Grade: B) I predicted that young adults, impacted by pandemic furloughs, would shy away from buying a home, a boon for apartment developers. I was right, but not necessarily for the right reason. The skyrocketing price of a home (in the mid-$500,000 range for much of Davis County) surprised me, though it shouldn’t have. We are rapidly running out of developable land in Davis County, so demand will continue to exceed supply. (Prediction Grade: B) That old column finished with this: “Things will never be exactly the same, but I predict we will soon be able to shake hands instead of bumping elbows and spend money at a great steakhouse instead of budgeting for a bottle of Lysol.” (And on that, I deserve an A!)

all the time. None of us are thoroughly competent, adequate, and achieving at all times. If things do not go the way you want them to, get over it. It is a waste of time to remain angry, frustrated and miserable, so take back your power. Some people really are bad, wicked, vile, or dishonest. Avoid them if at all possible. Life will catch up to them, so don’t worry about fixing them. If things are not going well, just wait. Your time will come. Your early childhood experiences do not have to control the rest of your life.

Be patient, and loving, and confident.

This puts the responsibility of our success in our own hands, for as someone once wrote: We have two ends with a common link. With one we sit, with the other we think. Success depends on which you use. Heads you win.

Tails you lose.

Loosely translated, this means you can’t sit on your bottom and slide to the top. It requires a lot of effort to be successful, even more to be happy. And there’s a difference. Success simply means getting what you want.

Happiness means wanting what you get. It all sounds a little confusing, but fortunately, the instructions for both are relatively simple and can be summed up in four words: Life – some assembly required.

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

What does it take to be happy? ‘Be willing’

e willing to look beneath the surface of outward appearances, for things are not always as they appear.

Be willing to understand the thoughts, feelings, and motives of others, for always, they will have their reasons. Be willing to take time to appreciate the connection between heart and mind, and when you have a choice, go with your heart. Be willing to respond to the “corrective realignments” in life.

These are the mistakes, or “minor course corrections” that will become some of your greatest teachers. Be willing to enjoy the exhilaration of success and endure the agony of defeat, for they will teach lessons that only they can teach. Be willing to continue to search for meaning and purpose in chaos, for they will lead to the development of insight and clarity. Be willing to strive for internal balance and guidance, rather than external dependency, for dependency on others always leads to sadness and disillusionment. Be willing to commit yourself to the exploration of the unknown without fear or anxiety, for you will always manage whatever comes your way. Be willing to create, and revise as necessary, a variety of worthy goals, for whatever you dream of, and focus upon, will be realized in your life.

Be willing to redefine yourself in a manner that will allow you to outgrow your previous self, for there will be no growth where stagnation or immobilization are tolerated.

In reality, it’s important to remind ourselves that we have always managed everything that has happened to us in the past, and we will always be able to do so in the future. Either by ourselves, or with the help of others, we will find a way to manage. We may not manage it perfectly, or gracefully, or with great finesse, but all that we can be, we must be. And with this principle in mind, we will find a way to manage it.

Life is a process and it’s going to hurt, but the benefits outweigh the pain and discomfort. Specifically,

CENTERVILLE—Who can forget Bing Crosby singing “I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas,” in the 1954 movie that has become a timeless classic? Centerpoint Theatre is bringing the nostalgia back to kick off the holiday season with its production of “White Christmas.” It’s a sweet tale of love, mixed with lots of laughter and unforgettable tunes.

It’s Christmas Eve, 1944 during WWII and the GIs are trying to bring a little holiday cheer to their difficult surroundings. Bob Wallace, Phil Davis and their friend Sheldrake start singing “Happy Holidays,” and “White Christmas” for their buddies around a simply made Christmas tree.

Flash forward to 1954 and Bob and Phil have become a little famous performing on the Ed Sullivan Show. They’re introduced to sisters, Betty and Judy Haynes who have an act of their own to see if they can team up for the next show.

At the girls’ performance, Betty and Judy sing another Berlin favorite, “Sisters,” as they wave blue feathered fans and have a bit of fun. Their show impresses Bob and Phil, but it’s not only the performance they like – it’s the sisters as well.

Phil has been trying to get Bob to find a girl and he thinks Betty might be the one. However, Betty’s not as eager to make that happen. Phil and Judy come up with a plan to switch the men’s tickets to Florida to Vermont where the girls are performing. While sitting on the train, Bob can’t understand why everyone on board is bundled up for winter when he thinks they’re headed for Florida. When they end up in Vermont, Bob isn’t too happy that he has been tricked.

Much to their surprise, the inn is owned by their former general who’s about to lose the place but doesn’t know it because his secretary has been hiding all the bills.

Bob and Betty seem to clash but eventually after she sees Bob's soft side her interest grows. In the meantime, Bob and Phil decide they want to help the general by bringing people into the inn for their show. They send out a message to all of those GIs who served with him to come to the inn and surprise him.

Betty (Bailee DeYoung, MWF) and Judy (Danna Facer, MWF) give a fun rendition of “Sisters” while Justin Lee (Bob Wallace, TTHS) and Craig Williams (Phil Davis, MWF) bring Berlin’s favorites to life backed by a talented cast of singers and dancers and impressive sets.

Get bundled up and start the holidays right with “A White Christmas.”

The show runs through Dec. 21, Monday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m., Saturday Matinees at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $19-$37 and are available at the box office, 801-298-1302 or online at CPTUtah. org. The Theatre is located at 525 N. 400 West in Centerville. l

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

Compiled by Peri Kinder

Nov. 27-Dec.3

PROGRAM: Continued from pg. 1

Staffing is particularly challenging because in order to get fluent French teachers often we have to go outside of the country, he said. “That means working on visa development and work authorizations and living arrangements that are coordinated by schools and district leaders. We end up overstaffing those programs.

Each school gets an allocation based on their school enrollment for staffing based on district budget, said Toone. “In order to accommodate the kind of separate school within a school in the DLI school and the non DLI school we end up overstaffing those programs when the numbers get small in order to maintain grade level offerings in both schools.

Right now we’re about 6-7 overstaffed across both schools which is approximately a half million a year we’re spending that we’re not generating for those kids just based on their general student enrollment.”

Toone said they looked at two options, continue in both and absorb the cost or consolidate either one school or the other. “We started a conversation last year and started a formal study that involved the community. Our goal was to maintain viable non DLI enrollment at both Foxboro and Odyssey and maintain viable French DLI program offerings in

the south end of the community.”

Elementary school director Traci Robbins said the district looked at enrollment over time and projections for the future. “We also looked at transportation over time and burdens on teachers.”

The cost of visas is outrageous, she said. “There’s also retention. Some come to work for a time and then go back.

We’re having to go through the process every one to three years.”

Robbins said they took all of the evidence and supported the decision to consolidate. “The families that were the most unhappy were from the odyssey community. They’re the community that would be the most affected.”

Taking the feedback from the community, Toone said they adopted a different model. The following letter was sent out to parents on Nov. 16.

“To minimize disruption to students currently enrolled in French DLI at Odyssey, the Davis School District will engage in a gradual, year-by-year, consolidation effort beginning in the upcoming school year.” See chart “It’s a costly decision,” said Toone.

“But we feel it is worthwhile in terms of the level of disruption and also community feedback, largely from parents at Odyssey in favor of this kind of a model.” l

Managing Grief in the Holidays

By William G. Hoy

H

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

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

A list of favorite holiday activities might be quite lengthy but make that list anyway.

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

In evaluating holiday traditions, consider creating something new.

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

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

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

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

Be sure to consider the spiritual aspects of life, too. Because holidays have spiritual roots make sure to include time for worship and reflection during this period.

Volunteering to help others or making a memorial contribution is a meaningful way to put feet to faith during the holiday season.

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

Kids collect more than 500 boxes of cereal for Center of Hope Food Pantry

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com NORTH SALT LAKE—Stacks and stacks of cereal lined the front commons area of Orchard Elementary last week after kindergarteners through sixth graders brought cereal to the school during a two week drive for donations to the Center of Hope Food Pantry. The student council delivered the cereal on Monday.

“There’s well over 500 boxes and more are still coming,” said Mary Ellen Dworshak with the pantry. “They donated more than 1,000 pounds. We’ve been running low and kids like their cereal.

Believe me we don’t get much cereal so this is amazing.”

The pantry began 2023 serving 800 individuals a month, she said. “By October we were up to 1,600 and growing.

We always need pasta, rice, canned meat and diapers, wipes, etc. We’re happy to take most items people can share.”

Performance Automotive has been paying the rent for the pantry for the last three years. “We pay every month so they can put more into bringing in food,” said Patricia Byrne, Business Development Director for Performance Automotive.

“It’s important to our Bountiful dealerships to feel a part of the community.”

“We couldn’t do what we do if we didn’t have the support,” said Dworshak.

The tower of cereal was taller than the kids in the student council who organized the drive. “We were trying to think of a service project to do and Mrs. Brazelton gave us the great idea of a drive,” said Sam, a sixth grader and member of the student council at Orchard. “We tried to collect as much as we could.

It’s amazing to see people care so much about bringing cereal to people who can’t get it.”

“It’s incredible to see that the kindergarten to sixth graders care so much,” said Rory, another student council member. “The object of the student council is to help students recognize that what they’re doing can make a difference in the community. This cereal might be for kids that don’t get cereal. It’s incredible to see the school come together and care so much.”

The student council has been brainstorming about ideas of a service project, said Advisor Megan Brazelton. “As soon as they heard about this that washed away any other ideas. It’s amazing when the community finds out there’s a need at the school they go for it.”

The kids created posters, she said.

“They went around to every classroom every day since collecting cereal. It was so cute watching them walking in with cereal.”

“It’s outstanding to me the support from the community,” said Principal Heidi Short. “When there’s a need they stand right up and fulfill that need every time.”

The student council is made up of sixth graders. “This group of 12 kids are go-getters,” Brazelton said. “They don’t ever want to stop – literally – they’re just amazing kids. They care 100% about their fellow student council members and sixth graders. They also care about the younger kids to make sure they are thriving.”

When a new student comes they meet them and greet them, Short said.

“They tour them around and take them to the lunchroom and show them the library and answer any questions. We love it here. We love our jobs, it's a great place to be.”l

Bountiful’s rally, bid for state football title comes up short

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

T

he Bountiful football team’s unlikely run to the state title game came to end on the campus of the University of Utah Nov. 17.

Looking for their first state football championship in 20 years, the Redhawks advanced to the Class 5A state championship game at Rice-Eccles Stadium but fell just shy of bringing home the prize. The Redhawks couldn’t quite get the victory, losing to Timpview 2315.

Seeded 10th, Bountiful gave the No. 1 seed Timpview Thunderbirds everything they could handle in the eight-point game. Early on, it looked as though Bountiful might be in trouble to Timpview, a team that captured its 12th state championship. The Thunderbirds were up 16-0 at halftime after kicking a successful field goal with seconds left in the first half. Bountiful was struggling on offense, and it looked as though the magic the team had used to upset two other higher-seeded teams had run out.

But the Redhawks made a game of it.

Freddie Fekitoa’s 32-yard touchdown run with 8:49 left in the third quarter, along with Emerson Geilman’s run for a two-point conversion, put the Redhawks in striking distance, down 16-8. Timpview responded with a touchdown just a minute later to make it 23-8, but Bountiful didn’t allow a point the rest of the way.

Needing two scores and a two-point conversion to tie, the Redhawks got back on the board with 2:54 left to play when Faletau Satuala took a pass from Geilman 20 yards into the end zone. Landon Zayas’ kick made it 23-15.

Bountiful got the ball back with a chance to tie, but Timpview made a key fourth-down stop to secure the win.

Siaki Fekitoa had 13 carries for 148 yards. Geilman had 13 carries for 61 yards and threw for 128 yards on 12 of 25 passing. Bountiful out rushed Timpview 274-49. Satuala led Bountiful with five catches for 82 yards. Jacob Brooks had four grabs for 28 yards, and four other Redhawks caught a pass. Caleb Norris had a big defensive game with 10 tackles and an interception.

Britton Tidwell also had an interception as well as five tackles. Brigham Morrison had six tackles and a sack, while Evan DeHart led the Redhawks with 11 stops.

It was tough to barely miss out on a state championship, but Bountiful has plenty to be proud of.

After placing in a tie for second in Region 5, the

Redhawks played their best ball of the year when it mattered most, as they marched to the state title game.

The Redhawks were clutch, winning a pair of playoff games by one point. Bountiful finished the season with a 10-5 record, winning its most games since the 2003 team went 12-2 and won the Class 4A state championship.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited for next season if you’re a Bountiful fan.

The Redhawks return several key players, including Geilman, who will be a senior for the 2024 season. The quarterback threw for 2,950 yards on 60% completions.

He threw 23 touchdowns on the year and rushed for 304 yards and two more scores. Siaki Fekitoa is only a soph-

omore. The running back led the team with 1,086 yards and 14 touchdowns. Junior Damon Manwill rushed for 217 yards and a pair of touchdowns. Junior wide receiver Britton Tidwell had 27 catches for 379 yards and three touchdowns. On defense, he paced the Redhawks with eight interceptions (tied for second in the state) and had 85 tackles and a sack.

Juniors Joshua Liljenquist and Brock McSwain both had 93 tackles and will be back to help lead the defense. They both had interceptions, while Liljenquist had three sacks and McSwain one on the year. Caleb Norris will also be an important returner in 2024 after picking up 62 tackles, five sacks and an interception this season. l

Confidence high for Farmington boys basketball team

ike any team, the Farmington boys basketball team hopes to be playing for as long as possible this season.

The Phoenix have lost in the second round of the state tournament the past two seasons. In 2021, the team lost in the state championship game to Lehi. This season is no different for Farmington: it is aiming for big things.

“Our expectations and goals for this season are to get better every day in practice and to be competing at our best by the

time we hit February to give ourselves the best chance to make a run at a region and state championship,” head coach Kasey Walkenhurst said.

Last season, the Phoenix had to replace All-State performer Collin Chandler. Now, Farmington enters the season without the services of the graduated Cole Johnson, who was second on the team in scoring a season ago. However, the Phoenix return leading scorer and rebounder Paul Beattie, a senior forward who scored 16.6 points and hauled down six rebounds in 2022–23. Third-leading scorer Jayden Haskell, a senior guard, is also back. He contributed 11.3 points and 2.2 rebounds

a game last season. Senior forward Ethan Atkinson and senior guard Braden Larsen are also experienced players for the Phoenix. The duo averaged 7.3 and 6.7 points a game last season. Walkenhurst also said he will rely on seniors Ethan Harris and Carter Nordquist for leadership and production.

“These players all bring experience and leadership to this team,” he said.

“Some of them have been playing varsity minutes since their freshman years, and we will need to rely on their experience to make a run this year.”

The Phoenix have talent and proven players, but it won’t be easy to achieve

Walkenhurst’s goals. Farmington has a tough slate of games ahead. Walkenhurst said unselfish play will be critical.

“We need to be playing as a team and making assists more important than scoring,” he said. “We also need to place a huge emphasis on defending and not taking possessions off.”

Don’t discount what other teams will be facing when they take on the Phoenix. Farmington will give teams fits with their outside shooting and inside presence.

BHS girls basketball still team to beat

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

T

he defending 5A state champion Bountiful High girls basketball squad is back with the 5A Player of the Year in senior Taylor Harvey and Third Team AllState sophomore guard Milika Satuala.

The strength of those two returning starters have kept the Redhawks at the top as the season gets underway.

“We’re extremely excited to get going and know that we should have a pretty good year,” said head coach Joel Burton.

“If we get our pieces in place and ride our star players, it could be a great year.”

Bountiful graduated three All-State players in Claire Cook, Jordan Harvey and Lizzy McConkie and will need others to step up to fill the void their abilities have created. “They are all so talented, but Claire was our defensive stopper and really was huge for us as we did all the dirty work. We sure appreciate her for it, but she certainly didn’t get enough credit and will be tough to replace,” Burton said. “So, now we’ll be looking for who is going to play hard-nosed defense, compete, do the dirty work, compete and rotate for help defense.

We’ve challenged the team on filling those roles and produce a group effort.”

Also on the BHS squad this season are key returning contributors in sopho-

more guard Adelaide Stevenson and junior guard Abby Orne, newcomers freshman guard Maleah Nelson and freshman guard/ forward Brynna Castleton along with senior Sila Tuakoi; juniors Mae Johnson and Anna Larson; sophomores Adeline Amisone, Olivia Brizendine, Caroline Cannon, Brook Dodge, Isabeau Hoff, Charlotte Johnson, Abrielle Kattelman, Quincy Miller, Aimee Moore and Raquel Schiess; and freshmen Mia Loya, Carlie Neilsen and Faith Nixon.

Burton is being assisted on the coaching staff this season by Tony Harvey, Kendal Ludwig and Mary Jolly.

“The girls are working hard and we should be pretty solid as we go,” Burton said. “We have young kids and just a few practices in, we’ve barely run any offensive sets so we can focus on defense. It will just be a process and we’ll learn a little more each game.”

Bountiful began the season Nov. 16 against Westlake, 6A’s 5th-ranked team, and lost 47-37. Harvey and Satuala combined for 28 of the team’s points in the loss.

The Redhawks are also scheduled to face Lone Peak, Morgan, Spanish Fork, Sky View, Brighton, Ridgeline, Springville and Fremont before Region 5 home-andaway games with Viewmont, Northridge, Bonneville, Clearfield, Roy and Woods Cross. The 5A state tournament will be held from Feb. 20 through March 2. l

armington will roll out a new varsity lineup as well as a new head coach this year after legendary coach Van Price retired following last season.

“We don’t have a ton of varsity game time experience, so we are trying to get that experience in practice,” said head coach Tara Ferrin. “Our focus is on playing as a team and working to control what we have the ability to control and that is our effort.”

The Phoenix squad will consist of seniors Kate Garff, Ava Goff, Brynn Ryan, Jazmi Spence and Olivia Tobler; juniors Liberty Anderson, Breklyn Archibald, Amira Bell, Emilie Figlioli, Macy Fox, Hailey Larsen and Katie Myers; sophomores Maleah Beddes, Katherine Gordon, Gifty Hirst, Kathleen Moffat, Hallie Neuenswander, Morgan Rogers, Ellie Schow, Gabrielle Spence, Brooklyn Symes and Jade Ward; and freshmen Emily Bell, Kinsley Johnson and Hazel Myers.

“We will make mistakes early, but as we gain experience those mistakes will begin to turn into our strengths,” Ferrin said. “We are looking forward to playing some games and switching players around to see what works best for us on

the court.

Ferrin will be assisted on the coaching staff this season by Hilary Noel, Derek Nyman, Teagan Dagley and Tricia Ferrin along with managers Abi Morgan and Jacey Peterson.

“We are excited to be working with this group of girls,” said head coach Tara Ferrin. “They are hardworking and improving each day.”

Farmington begins the season Nov. 28 against Bonneville and will play Woods Cross, Viewmont, Cyprus, Murray, Spanish Fork, Northridge, Taylorsville, Granger and Pleasant Grove before home-and-away games begin Jan. 16 against Weber, Fremont, Layton, Davis and Syracuse. l

ountiful returns state qualifiers – senior Madelynn Fenwick and juniors Liam Glissmeyer and Andy Duke – to their team this season along with sophomores Cole Crimmins and Ellie Watkins who competed on the state relays last year.

Second year head coach Chad Reimschussel said his group has been “working on the legs” to prepare for the season in hopes of improving times as the year goes on. “We are also in the growing phase of the team as we look to get bigger

in the coming years and get more swimmers qualified for the state meet.”

In the first meet of the season at the Thanksgiving Invitational Nov. 17-18, Duke was second in the 100 breaststroke while also placing sixth in the 200 medley relay, seventh in the 500 freestyle and ninth in the 400 free relay. Glissmeyer was fourth in the 200 free and 100 butterfly, sixth in the 200 medley relay and ninth in the 400 free relay while Long was fifth in the 500 free and sixth in the 200 free and also swam legs on the sixth-place medley relay team and the ninth-place 400 free relay squad. Watkins was the highest finisher for the girls with a seventh-place showing in the 100 fly event.

success scoring from both around the basket and around the three-point line.

“I think our biggest strengths will be our ability to stretch the floor with our three-point shooting at all positions and our size inside with two 6-foot-8-inch post players,” he said. “Our biggest challenges will be for these players to trust each other and know that if they are unselfish and play together, they will all get great looks at scoring. They will also need to hold each other accountable on the defensive side of the ball.”

Walkenhurst appreciates this group of players for the way they treat one another.

Through the highs and lows, he expects everyone to get along well and help each other out.

Davis

Davis’ Garrett Barker finished second in the 500 free event at the Thanksgiving Invite, breaking a school record with a time of 4:56.94, more than a minute faster than Tom Mi’s 2019 mark.

“We had some really fast swims at this meet as it was our toughest competition yet! And when the competition is hard, we swim faster!” said head coach Kit Barker.

Other top-10 showings for the fourth-place girls were Adlen Groberg (third, 200 free relay; seventh, 400 free relay), Micah Hale (third, 200 free relay; seventh, 400 free relay; ninth, 100 free), Julian Shaw (third, 200 free relay; sixth, 200 medley relay), Nahlia Stewart (third, 200 free relay; fourth, 50 free; seventh, 400 free relay), Jane Bassett (sixth, 200 medley relay; seventh, 400 free relay), Maureen Karren (sixth, 200 medley relay) and Elsie Smith (sixth, 200 medley relay).

heim (third, 50 free; third, 200 free relay; fifth, 400 free relay; ninth, 100 fly), Mason Simmons (third, 200 free relay), Garrick Bench (fifth, 400 free relay) and Bryson Bernhardt (fifth, 400 free relay; sixth, 100 free) were among the top 10 finishers in their respective events.

“Even though many were sick, almost every swimmer dropped time in at least one event! And some by a lot!”

Coach Barker said. She particularly noted Lucas Satthertwaite dropping more than 12 seconds in the 100 breast, Lilly Wood taking 12.10 seconds off her previous-best 500 free time and Erin Boyce finishing the 100 back in 1:32.88, nearly 10 seconds faster than her original PR.

Farmington

Farmington placed 10th at the Thanksgiving Invite behind an impressive showing from freshman Elsie Crowell, who broke the school record in the 100 back with a time of 1:03.62 – which earned a fifth-place finish in the event. She also swam legs on the fourth-place 200 free relay squad and the fifth-place 200 medley relay lineup while coming in 10th in the 200 free.

“Our Phoenix swimmers showed up and performed really well!” said head coach Stacy Edholm. “We were only able to bring about half of the team to this invitational, but we sure brought a lot of talent and earned valuable points.”

Other top-10 placers for the Phoenix team were Brooke Belnap (fourth, 200 free relay; fifth, 200 medley relay; eighth, 50 free), Jacie Nielson (fifth, 200 medley relay), London Spears (fourth, 200 free relay), Nerys Turnbaugh (fourth, 200 free relay; fifth, 200 medley relay), Kael Michaelson (fifth,

200 free relay; 10th, 400 free relay), Ezra Moon (fifth, 200 free relay; eighth, 100 free; 10th, 200 medley relay), Henry Norseth (fifth, 200 free relay), Will Scott (eighth, 100 breast; 10th, 200 medley relay; 10th, 400 free relay), Clarke Tholl (fifth, 200 free relay; 10th, 200 medley relay), Davis Nielson (10th, 400 free relay) and Jake Rizley (10th, 200 medley relay; 10th, 400 free relay).

Edholm commended Max Murray for dropping 18 seconds from his 200 free time with Jack Keller taking off more than 16 seconds in his 200 IM time. “They have been working incredibly hard in practice and competitions, earning those great time drops,” she said, while also noting senior captain Michael Treu’s efforts in his sprint events.

Bountiful

At the Thanksgiving Invite, Andy Duke was second in the 100 breaststroke to lead the Bountiful boys while Ellie Watkins was the highest finisher for the girls with a seventh-place showing in the 100 fly event.

Annual Festival of Trees returns

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com SALT LAKE CITY—Bring the whole family out to experience the wonder and awe of the 53-year tradition, Festival of Trees Nov. 29 – Dec. 2.

Walk the aisles of the Mountain America Expo Center to enjoy the twinkling of a half million lights adorning more than 500 trees donated and decorated by volunteers. The event is presented by the Intermountain Foundation.

Proceeds from the Festival go to support Primary Children’s Hospital and to give care to those children in need. It is part of Intermountain Health’s Primary Promise to create the nation’s model health system for children.

Many trees are dedicated to family and friends who are patients at Primary Children’s Hospital or have been.

Others are decorated around a specific theme. In addition to the trees, there are hand-crafted wreaths, gingerbread houses, nativities, quilts and more. Visitors can also enjoy live music, dance performances and food. Santa Claus will be on hand as well.

A silent auction to purchase trees and other items is available at FestivalofTreesUtah.org from 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28 through 9 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 29.

Other fun Festival facts include: • Volunteers have donated 5,000 pounds of fudge in 51 flavors.

• Volunteers have created approximately 100 wreaths.

• The Festival of Trees raised $3.1 million in 2022 to support patient care at Primary Children’s Hospital and new, innovative ways to expand that expertise and help children in more communities through Intermountain’s Primary Promise.

Afu Fiefia is one of those children.

the Festival of Trees. Primary Children’s Hospital shares his story: “When he was 14, Afu had pain in his lower leg that didn't go away. An MRI showed a rare form of bone and soft tissue cancer called Ewing sarcoma.

Afu started chemotherapy at Primary Children’s Hospital right away. He has been through many different treatments and is in remission for a second time.

Afu says he wondered why this cancer happened to him. But when he saw how his family and other people responded, he thought, maybe it’s to bring people closer together, strengthen his faith and deepen his family’s bond.”

The Festival of Trees is a way to raise funds for children like Afu and others like him.

The event runs Wednesday, Nov. 29 – Friday, Dec. 1, 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Saturday, Dec. 2, 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. The Mountain America Exposition Center is located at 9575 State St, Sandy, UT 84070. l
