MORE THAN 2,000 PEOPLE came out to walk or bike on the new West Davis Highway before it opened. “I was totally blown away by the turnout. We met as a board and planned this event, but we never expected this! It’s cold and yet people still came out to support this new road. People brought their bikes and their dogs and I saw this really big one and it turned out to be a donkey! This has been a great event for a road opening!” — Jim Evans, Utah Transportation Commissioner, Region 3.

FARMINGTON—The temperature was in the 20s but that didn’t stop thousands from coming out last Saturday to celebrate the opening of all lanes of the new West Davis Highway. Bikers, walkers and even a donkey crossed the bridge at 950 North in Farmington before the highway officially opened to traffic below. The project was completed several

months early.

“About 2,000 people have been out here to stand on the bridge,” said UDOT Executive Director Carlos Braceras. “I don’t think we’re going to be able to do this again. I think there’s going to be cars out here.”

A project like this changes the lives of citizens in Davis County, he said.

“Over the last decade Utah has grown faster than any other state in the country.

It’s just going to keep growing. You think

about all of our elected officials that have worked so hard for us.”

This project goes back to the 60s.

“They were talking about it,” said Braceras. “They saw the need for this project.”

Construction has gone on over the last three years, he said. “Thousands and thousands and thousands have worked so hard over the years to make this happen.

This is the biggest project we’ve opened Please see HIGHWAY pg. 2

Valhalla Student Center a little piece of heaven

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—Students, administrators, elected officials and the Davis Education Foundation came together at Viewmont High School on Wednesday to celebrate the opening of the Valhalla Student Center, the seventh Teen Center in the Davis School District.

The center is named after the school’s mascot, the Viewmont Vikings.

The Center serves students who are homeless or housing insecure, providing a safe place for them to shower, make a hot meal, launder clothing, sit in a quiet study area and access educational and community resources.

“Students come from Bountiful, West Bountiful and Centerville cities,” said Principal Travis Lund.

“This will bring the community together and help bring family support students need to achieve their educational goals.”

Bountiful City buys DeBoer’s building on Main Street

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—After more than 40 years in business DeBoer’s Running Store closed in October. The popular place for buying shoes may be gone but Bountiful City has plans for the now vacant building that sits along Main Street. The city bought the building with the intention of using the space for a restaurant.

“It’s part of the visioning process for downtown,” said City Manager Gary Hill. “We get a lot of questions from the public asking why we don’t have a restaurant.”

Main Street has a lot of unique, authentic older buildings that can’t accommodate a restaurant very easily, he said. “We decided to keep an eye out using RDA funds.”

The mayor was visiting businesses and found out Dennis DeBoer was going to retire, said Hill. “We asked about the building and he said he’d been leasing it from the owners out of state. We got a hold of the owners and asked if they’d been interested in selling the building. They said they would.”

Hill said they were thrilled. “It’s a great location. It backs up on Town Square, has great visibility and the option for dining on the sidewalk.”

The next step is determining what needs to be done, he said. “Before we purchased it we went to restaurants like this to hear their experiences. We met with several people onsite, thought about the space and asked if they thought

it could be successful. We got a lot of positive feedback.”

Before the city pulled the trigger, Hill said they had to make sure certain things were done like a grease trap and whether the HVAC system was up to par.

“It’s an outside shell,” he said. “It will be the tenant’s vision on how to use the space. That’s our plan, renovate or tear it down and build new. We’ll work with the tenant on putting their own improvements in.”

There are some criteria that are important to the city, said Hill. “It needs to be open afternoons and evenings and on weekends. Evening business is really important. The goal is to have people come to Main Street and stay.”

Blacksmith Ice Cream is right there, he said. “It would be fun to complement what they do.”

Hill said the city is looking for a sit down restaurant.

“Not necessarily one with a waiter or waitress. There's an ideal opportunity for dining on the back side where you could have a pick up window. There’s some really fun options there.”

Although from the front it looks like it is a two story building it’s not. “It has a faux facade,” said Hill. “There’s a main floor with a basement. The main floor is 2,278 square feet and the basement is a good size. Feedback we’ve gotten from potential restaurateurs is that they'd use the main floor for the restaurant and the basement as storage.”

The city will bring in an architect to evaluate the best way to get the space into shape, he said. “Whether to rebuild or remodel. We plan to make a decision by late spring then we’ll find a contractor to start working on the space. My estimate would be about a year from now for the whole process.”

Hill believes the surrounding businesses will welcome a restaurant. “They’ll have the additional foot traffic that would come from a restaurant.”

Over the last decade the city has made a concerted effort to use RDA funds downtown, he said. “We want to bring people downtown. We’re looking to take the next step with anchors from the private sector coming in to help expose Main Street to folks who don’t realize the hidden gem we have here.” l

half ago I was excited because I graduated from Viewmont in 2015,” said Zach Wheatley, Valhalla Student Center Coordinator. “The community means a lot to me. I didn’t know how much I’d be impacted. Supporting these kids who are in adverse situations will have a ripple effect for years to come.”

“Five years ago I was talking to the principal at East High who is a good friend,” said Davis School District Board Member John Robison. “He mentioned that East High had put in a facility for students who were homeless or in need.”

Robison said that he took him on a tour downstairs and showed him their facility. “I was blown away. The thing that struck me the most is how it got started. He said he saw a girl in the hall who looked like she’d been in a wind tunnel. It turned out her family had slept that night behind the Food King in the middle of the winter because it was the warmest place they could find.”

That is heartbreaking, said Robison.

“I went back and talked to Jodi (Lunt, Davis Education Foundation Director). I told her we need to build one of those.”

The Superintendent and a group of people went to East High, he said. “It was unanimous that we could do this.

We’ll find a way. Now we’re here today. This doesn’t happen without lots of hands. I’m very, very proud to be a part

since we did the I-15 project in Utah County. This is a significant project.

This 16 mile highway is going to change the way people drive, Braceras said. “It will cut drive time by a 1/3 and time is the most valuable thing.”

The four-lane divided highway runs from I-15 near Glovers Lane in Farmington to the future extension of S.R. 193 and 4500 West in West Point. Six new interchanges have been built to connect to I-15 and local roads: • I-15/Legacy Parkway in Farmington • 950 North in Farmington • 200 North in Kaysville • 2700 West in Layton • 2000 West in Syracuse • Antelope Drive in Syracuse West Davis has also added nearly 10 miles of new trails, said Braceras. “This is part of the vision we’ve talked about to build a trail system throughout the state.

This fits the area so well.”

“It’s fun to see (come to pass) what was a dream at one time,” said Davis County Commissioner Bob Stevenson. “People are making decisions today that have an impact on our children in the future.”

meeting them where they are.”

Cox said she visits a lot of schools.

“I see compassionate, loving and kind students. This generation is pushing us as adults in creating a community around students who need them.”

They say every child needs one caring adult in their life, she said. “Someone who loves them and shows them

“We love it,” said one resident who lives within walking distance of the highway. She said it will cut her husband’s commute to the Capitol by 1/3. “It’s so easy now to get to I-15.”

“This is a number one game changer,” said West Point Mayor Brian Vincent. “Having a connection to I-15 gives us a better opportunity for economic growth. Right now we’re too far so we’ve never had the option before.”

It’s a blessing, he said. “We’re a rural, bedroom community and we want that to remain but this will bring amenities to the citizens.”

It’s been a big project, said UDOT Region One Director, Rob Wight. “It was supposed to be finished in the middle of July but it was accelerated by closing Antelope Drive in Syracuse and several other things like that.”

The contractors worked extra shifts, he said. ‘It’s a great win to open it to the public so they’re not spending time standing in traffic. It’s a win, win in the community, area, Davis County and cities.”

It’s been a group effort, said Wight. “It’s a relief to have it open and see people driving.” l ONE LITTLE GUY is all dressed up for the cold as he rides his scooter on the new highway.

they belong so as they look back after graduation they say ‘I can be somebody.

I can do something big.’”

Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford was a student advisor at Viewmont High School several years ago. “I spent 17 years at Viewmont,” he said. “It’s a big part of me. It’s like coming home. As the student advisor we supported activities that didn't always get supported.”

One of the crew members was disheveled and his clothes weren’t clean but he was smiling, Linford said. “I learned a few days later that he was couch surfing. The SBO he was living with was going out of town so he had to find a new couch. He would join athletic teams so that he could go to morning practice and shower.”

“In a world of turmoil, this is the good stuff,” said Angie Osguthorpe, CEO/President of Davis Chamber of Commerce. “Students helping students.

In our lifetime we can all be receivers of goodness, kindness and care. Then sometimes we’re the giver and we pay it forward. It’s a beautiful circle.”

“I can’t wait to see the impact this will have,” said Kate Woods, Viewmont SBO Service Officer. “The Viking community is tight knit. We love and care for each other so much. We all want to be there to help and make lives better.”

Valhalla is Viking heaven, she said.

“I’m grateful we’ll have a little piece of heaven.” l

Yearbook staff pressing work on annual

The work on the yearbook is progressing rapidly. The last pictures will be taken today and the proofs of photography will be handed back to the students. The photography for the yearbook is of the highest class. The engravings are being made in Salt Lake. The “d” book, this year, is being dedicated to our principal, Mr. Willard Aston. The annual will be out a week before the closing of school so that the students will be able to get the autographs of their fellow students on the page left for this purpose.

Opportune time to construct new city reservoir

For some time the City Council has felt it their patriotic duty to do something to support the National recovery program of President Roosevelt. The most practical plan seemed to be to improve the inadequate water supply of the city and to this end, some of the city officials spent much time and study to get a loan from the government under PWA. This plan was later postponed because of some objectionable legations.

1944

Burglars take safe and all

Theft of a 150-pound steel safe and its contents, $272.98 in cash, and 2,000 gasoline coupons, in a weekend burglary of the Sahara trailer park office near Hill Field at Layton, was reported to the Davis County Sheriff’s Department Tuesday. Officers said that the north glass door was broken open to gain entrance. Gasoline stamps, stolen were good for one gallon each, and the stolen money included silver and currency.

Dog war draws protest from Bountiful citizens

A group of twenty Bountiful citizens and dog owners met with the new Boun-

tiful Mayor and City Council Wednesday night. They presented the case of the dog versus the present method of dog law enforcement.

The present method has allowed dogs to be taken from the owner’s property and killed when the dog was not wearing a license, or if a license was on the dog the owner has received a summons to appear before the city judge to pay a fine because the dog was not chained.

1964

First baby wins prizes

The first baby born in the new year of 1964 at the South Davis Community Hospital arrived at 8:12 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1, 1964.

The baby boy, as yet unnamed, weighed in at 7 lbs, 2 ounces, was 20 inches long at birth, and had a head full of black hair. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Larry G. Anderson, 645 E. 2nd N. in Centerville.

1974

Be a new light in Bountiful

The biggest cheer came from the Bountiful City Council when City Manager Grant Petersen told them the state had approved a traffic light at Mill Street and Orchard.

The agenda also included convenience benches, a final plat on Maple Hills development, a building permit for Francesco’s Restaurant, flood insurance, and a building permit for the addition to Bountiful Seminary.

1984

Skaters sliding into Bntfl.

The 1984 National Figure Skating Championships to be held in Salt Lake City Jan. 7-22, are receiving national attention as nationally ranked skaters are converging at the Salt Palace and the Bountiful Recreation Center for a chance to be on the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team.

After this event, the U.S. Olympic Figure Skating Team will leave immediately for Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, for the Winter Olympic Games.

Car wash causes stir in Kaysville community

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com KAYSVILLE—Though it has only been open for a a handful of days, a car wash in a local Kaysville neighborhood has been causing quite the stir. While there’s nothing too out of the ordinary that Mister Car Wash is doing, the neighborhood has organized a petition that has garnered nearly 300 signatures.

The cause? According to the change. org petition, many residents are concerned about both the light and noise pollution the business brings to the area.

One Kaysville resident, Ron Barton, noted the lights particularly, saying, “At first I thought it was possibly a full moon rising in the sky but then realized that the full moon should have been setting in the west at that time of day. It took me a while to realize that it was the new car wash.”

For the area, it comes as a bit of a shock. Though it’s been commercially zoned for decades, a house sat on the property until recently, which is why the neighborhood has rallied behind this petition. Jaysen Christensen, City Manager for Kaysville, has said that his office “has been fielding a lot of calls” about

the new location, and feels very optimistic about the response from both the city and Mister Car Wash.

Christensen said that representatives from Mister Car Wash came and attended city council meetings in an effort to respond and hear from the residents what they, as a business, can do to meet these challenges. Christensen believes that the business is “very sincere in trying to address these issues,” and has come to these issues with a “very cooperative attitude.

To that end, Mister Car Wash and the city have come up with some solutions that they feel will be fair and equitable to all parties. The car wash is looking into dimming, or turning off altogether the lights on the back side of the building that face the backyards of the neighborhood to cut down on the light pollution.

Christensen said that they have also purchased and will be installing a vacuum muffler to cut down on the noise made by those vacuums and that they have even been asked to consider a screening wall. As City Manager, Jaysen Christensen is confident that, at the very least, Mister Car Wash as a business, wants to be good neighbors, and is willing to put in the time and effort to ensure all parties are satisfied.

Four teens rescued on Frary Peak Trail Davis County Search and Rescue had their first call-out of 2024 on Jan. 2 when four teenagers who had been hiking on Frary Peak Trail needed assistance after they lost their bearings in thick fog that had rolled in. A couple bison had also moved into the area, which complicated the situation, according to the DCSR Facebook page.

Crews quickly located the missing party on the trail and dealt with the bison. After making patient assessments, they went back down the trail. Everyone was safe and off the mountain by 8:30 p.m. “Current weather conditions are quickly changing,” the post said. “This is a reminder to prepare adequately before heading out on your adventures.”

Video surveillance showed Murphy with a handgun as he went around to the back of the house.

He knocked on the door and “made contact with a 7-year-old girl who was staying in the second rental unit with her father,” the affidavit said.

Murphy allegedly went back to the upper unit and started pounding on the shared doorway, police said. He was screaming that he would kill the man in the adjoining unit. The victim called the police. In the meantime, Murphy allegedly broke a wooden banister and smashed out window panes above the sink. Damage was estimated to be more than $1,500, the statement said.

Gas leak in Bountiful prompts road closures A gas leak in the area of 1250 E. 300 South prompted the closure of 300 South between 1200 East and 1224 East for several hours on Monday. The Bountiful Police Department asked residents to use an alternate route until the leak could be taken care of. The source of the leak was not available as of press time.

Man arrested for threats at Airbnb Layton City Police arrested a man over the weekend for allegedly brandishing a gun and making threats to kill the occupants in the adjoining unit of an Airbnb.

Thomas Murphy was booked into the Davis County Jail on charges of property damage/destruction, loss of $1,500 to $4,999; carrying a dangerous weapon under the influence of alcohol/drugs; threat of violence and intoxication.

According to the police affidavit, Murphy allegedly told officers he had been drinking all day when he realized there were other people in the unit in the basement. He became upset that there were other people in the Airbnb.

OPINION

Women took charge in 2023

W

hen asked to describe the past year (2023) in one word, many would simply say MESS. Bouncing prices, wars, and a disruptive political process fueled uncertainty. For me, however, both in Davis County and the nation, the year was defined by a different word: WOMEN. The “weaker sex” grew muscles in 2023. As a female friend told me, “While the guys were in the basement playing video games, the women took charge.”

Once again, the year saw more women college graduates than male graduates, both nationally and in Utah, a gap that will play out in the future with even more feminine power.

Then there is “Barbie,” which stomped all over the male-action super-hero movies. The film is closing in on $650 million in U.S. box office receipts, the highest grossing movie in North America. For nearly a month, movie theaters in Centerville, Layton, and Farmington were surrounded by a pink haze. Some men were puzzled by

W

e can be the choice we wish to make. We can become what we search for. We can create the transformation from what we were, to what we are capable of becoming. We can rise above the fears that seek to immobilize us. We can evolve to what we aspire to be. We can adapt to the ideals we search for. We can revise the limitations that may have controlled us. We can attune ourselves to the positive forces in life. We can harness the pain and grow beyond it. We can bridle our courage to defeat uncertainty. We can formulate methods to overcome confusion. We can attune ourselves to the positive forces in life. We can redesign our old, imperfect perception of who we are, as we envision what we dream we can become. We can integrate the energy forces that surround us. We can synchronize what was previously thought to have been hopelessly disorganized. And we can generate a metamorphosis that will enable us to rise to previously unexpected levels of achievement. From an eternal perspective, we can accept nothing less.

And in this process, this educational process: we eventually learn that nothing very good or very bad ever lasts very long. Our lives are constantly in motion, and our future is bright. Our hopes are strong, our vision is clear.

Interestingly, there is another side to this story. Many individuals seem to focus on fear, uncertainty and anxiety.

My response to them would be to emphasize that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Worry, it seems is often a substitute for action. It’s surprising how long we can stay stuck. The solution? Catch it early, move to a higher level of functioning and reach out to this amazing world.

Pain is the great educator. When we’ve had enough pain, we will find a way to move beyond it. We will find a way to change our course. Pain is purposeful!

We learn that the way a person treats us is more often a reflection of how they see themselves. So, don’t take it to heart if someone doesn’t agree with you. Move on. Life is short. Do what you know, and look for the lessons in life.

that we should give up, that it’s a waste of time to keep trying because this is as good as it gets. And once again, with this kind of thinking, it’s easy to get lost.

The fact is that we are becoming, and we only become by beginning, again and again. And if we ever believe that it’s too late to begin again, then we rob ourselves of that which we might have been.

We need to remember that seldom does anyone get it right the first time.

There is always a price to be paid for insight. But the process of “becoming” requires much more than just concern, more than commitment, and even more than determination. It requires a revolution! And because the breadth and depth of our patterns often span generations, it may take forever to become.

As a result, nothing short of a revolution will have the power to redirect our lives.

We need to remember that when we feel worn down because of stress in our lives, we can change our course.

It helps to remember that self-mastery will lead to the best we have to offer.

And self-mastery allows us to be aware of what’s going on inside of us, and to envision what our potential is. This insight grows into who we are capable of becoming. It is one of the most important and essential defining moments in our lives. So, be ready! Don’t blink! Don’t hesitate. Remember who you are, and how you arrived at this point in your life. You didn’t stumble to get where you are. Be confident in your perception, but move ahead at a pace that you determine to be your best option. Look for the beauty in life. It’s everywhere. Life is good. We’re not alone. Spread the word.

Keep kids from falling victim to online predators

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

Upcoming Internet Safety Classes

FARMINGTON—Kids have a lot of access to apps and other social media on their cell phones. Most things are good but others can be a gateway to very dangerous predators if parents don’t keep a close eye on what their child is doing and who they’re talking to. After two recent arrests of offenders who were coming to Utah expressly to engage in sexual activity with a minor and a dozen more arrests in the past year, the Davis County Sheriff’s Office (DCSO) is warning parents to be vigilant in protecting their children.

“It only takes a couple of clicks,” said Stephanie Dinsmore, Media & Community Engagement Manager for the Davis County Sheriff's Office. “Every day we’re seeing the ugly side of social media. I remember as a teen myself that everything was new and exciting and it wasn’t often I had a discussion with my parents.”

New apps are coming out all the time, she said.

“They target Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. Parents need to do a deep dive into the types of apps that are being used.”

Take their phone away at night, said Dinsmore.

“Monitor their activity and the things they’re looking at. Kids are good at disguising things like hiding photos in notes. You’d never think to look in notes for that information.”

Dinsmore said one case they investigated was a situation where a teen was targeted on social media. “He thought he was engaging with a fellow teen. He discovered they were using photos he’d sent to that account.

He felt comfortable enough to go to his parents and say, ‘I’m in trouble. They want $1,000 from me or they said they’ll ruin my life.’”

DCSO is not seeing a decline in these types of cases, she said. “In fact we’re seeing more. Teen boys fall prey to this every day. Boys more often than girls. Boys are trusting that it’s a young female and they want to have their attention. Girls are more about conversations.”

Some predators work on the relationship over several months, said Dinsmore. “Others as soon as the photos are sent it’s like a light switch, the teen immediately

receives an extortion demand.”

Many teens don’t know they’re meeting up with an adult, she said. “They’re crafty on how they target them. Kids think if they’re friends with my friends they must go to a fellow school. A child is vulnerable and so naive about it that they allow the connection to occur.”

Parents need to make sure their child is comfortable coming to them, Dinsmore said. “Often it is within their social circle. They have to feel that no matter what happens they can talk to you and they won’t get in trouble.”

The reality is that if a child is old enough to have a cell phone, they’re old enough to have a conversation about real consequences, she said. “If you’ve gone the route of a cell phone for pre-teens or teens as a way to keep in touch, keep it very limited and monitor it. As a parent (of young kids) that’s the route I’ll take especially with the things I’ve seen in my short time here.”

Parents sometimes have a difficult time taking these recommendations, said Dinsmore. “They feel their kids are mature enough but I would recommend they don’t give them free range.”

Society underestimates the depravity of people to victimize children, she said. “People target children –

it’s disgusting. The majority of the cases we’re handling are in the realm of social media.”

Have an open conversation, Dinsmore said. “Let your kids know this is a safe space. Monitor their cell phones and be aware of their apps. Know what your kids are looking at every single day.”

The Sheriff’s Office has been offering an internet safety class for parents and their children 12 and older and will continue to hold them throughout the year.

Watch the DCSO Facebook page for upcoming events.

Some of the cases come through the ICAC (Internet Crimes Against Children) Taskforce, said Dinsmore.

“Some are from victims that come forward. I can’t even imagine the figure of people who have suffered at the hands of predators that we don’t know about. It’s terrifying.” l

New Italian inspired restaurant opens in Station Park

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—Alex Bartolo is Brazilian but his restaurant Bartolo’s is Italian inspired. Bartolo just opened his third location with his wife, Rhia last week in Station Park next to the Cinemark Theaters. Bartolo’s journey to get where he is has had its ups and downs but ultimately successful.

“In my last year in college in 2001 my friend asked me to go to Deer Valley in Utah to work,” said Bartolo. “We worked three or four months and then I took my experience back to Brazil. I came back during the winter games in 2002 after 9/11 without much life or work experience.”

Bartolo said he went back to Brazil and opened a restaurant. “I ran it for two years. I was in hotel/restaurant management so I wasn’t in the kitchen.

I didn’t know how to cook but when I did I fell in love with cooking.”

His restaurant only served lunch, which was pizza. “I learned how to make pasta and we introduced dinner.

It was very successful.”

Bartolo said his partnership ended in 2004. “I went to culinary school for 13 months. It was an intensive program then I went to Italy in 2005. I spent six months in Rome working at a hotel restaurant. I had the opportunity to stay but I decided to move back to the U.S.”

He went to work at the St. Regis Hotel at Deer Valley. “I got a solid foundation of business and that’s where I met my wife. We lived in a couple of places then in 2019 we opened Bartolo’s in Park City.”

The last week of December 2020 Bartolo opened his second restaurant in Sugar House. “There were a lot of challenges because of COVID,” he said. “But we made the right decision because it’s been successful.”

Bartolo said they’ve been looking for a place to expand. “We met with CenterCal (Station Park) but we were trying to go south. That didn’t happen so when a spot became available they told us to come take a look. We looked around and said ‘let’s do it.’”

The area had everything they were looking for in a community, he said.

“Businesses are going crazy around us.

Davis County has been very supportive. We have very high expectations that we can provide homemade food to the community.”

Bartolo’s makes things a little bit different, he said. “We make our food from scratch, our drinks like passion fruit, our syrups and all of the bread. It translates into the quality of our food.

People like to know that we didn’t open a box and serve it. It’s the business model that works for us.”

It’s an Italian inspired kitchen, said Bartolo. “The bolognese sauce I learned from my father. We try to offer

a great menu selection. We have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free meals.

Kids love our noodles.”

It’s all about hospitality and connecting with people, he said. “If someone doesn’t like something we say ‘sorry would you like me to remake it?’”

People come to eat, said Bartolo.

“That’s the intention but secondly they come to socialize. That’s what we want

to provide to the community, nice ambiance and a comfortable place that they can feel welcome anytime.”

Bartolo’s is located at Station Park in Farmington and open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday – Thursday and Sunday and 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday with brunch every day from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.l

Hill History – The 90s and General Lester L. Lyles

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com HILL AIR FORCE BASE—The 1990s once again saw American armed forces on foreign soil. Rising tensions in the Middle East and the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq spurred action by the United States. Due to the heavy emphasis on and use of air power in what became known as the Gulf War, Hill Air Force Base (HAFB) was heavily involved in the conflict which would, in many ways, have effects that continue to the current day.

Hill saw the incoming and outgoing of Air Force personnel during this time, many bound for the conflict in the Middle East, and many seeing heavy action there before returning home. Across the decade, personnel would face brutal modern warfare, with guerrilla tactics, and improvised devices which wrought havoc on those

upon which they were inflicted. The support, in both manpower, repair, and arms provided by Hill proved integral, but even then, there was a different

kind of danger here at home.

In 1991, 1993, and 1995 the Base Realignment and Closure Commission instituted widespread closures of military bases across the United States.

The federal government had deemed that there was a surplus of military bases, some dating back to the Second World War, and some even further, and that following the de-escalation from the Cold War, fewer were needed. Thousands of civilians employed at these bases would lose their jobs.

For a time, Hill Air Force Base was one such base considered. The closure would have meant the loss of nearly 50,000 civilian jobs in the area – a devastating blow to the local economy, as well as to the necessary services provided by those jobs to the US Military. One major deciding factor was the foresight of General Kenneth B. Hobson, discussed during the 1960s article, who brought infrastructure vital to Nuclear Warfare missions to Hill.

In addition, to efforts from General Hobson, the leadership of General Lester L. Lyles kept things running smoothly during his tenure as Vice Commander of Ogden Air Logistics Center, HAFB from 1993 to 1994.

Those familiar with the Air Force will recognize General Lyles’ name, as following his command at HAFB, the general would ultimately become Vice Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force shortly before his retirement in 2003.

Over the course of his career, General Lyles accumulated many accolades and awards for his service and has even had the opportunity to serve as the Council Advisory Chair at NASA. An outstanding example of service, General Lyles is yet another example of an exemplary HAFB Alumni. .l

Combatting the inversion

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—Davis’ proximity to Salt Lake City is traditionally one of the many reasons why people choose to live here. It’s close enough to have access to great shopping and dining, but, far enough away to avoid the big city lifestyle. However, this proximity also brings with it the winter hazards of the inversion.

Though there really aren’t many more people or cars in Salt Lake and the surrounding area than in other comparable parts of the world, Salt Lake’s geography, particularly the Salt Lake Valley, creates a unique situation, and though beautiful, the mountains don’t help when it comes to pushing pollution out of the area.

During an inversion, regular conditions of warmer temperatures at lower elevations with lower temperatures at higher elevations are reversed, or inverted. The air on the valley floor becomes colder, often with snow reflecting heat, rather than absorbing it. This causes warm air at higher elevations to act as a sort of lid, with the mountains acting as the walls of a bowl, trapping pollutants in the valley.

Storms, wind, and other conditions that could clear out this pollution are curtailed by the mountains as well, meaning that residents are stuck with the conditions for longer. It’s a miserable situation and causes health risks and conditions similar to smoking tobacco. But what can be done about it? People have to work, don’t they?

There are many solutions to the issues surrounding inversion, some short term, and others much more long term. In the short term, businesses can look at air quality each day, and, on the days when it’s worsening, employees, where able, can telecommute, and work from home. Employees that need to come in for one reason or another, can take advantage of public transit, which, in the Salt Lake Valley, is a step ahead of other areas in the region.

While not ideal, these solutions provide an alternative to the hundreds of cars on the road on any given day, which, in many cases, only contain the driver. The long-term solutions, sensibly, closely mirror the short-term solutions, and could provide valley-dwellers in both Salt Lake and Davis Counties a healthier and happier winter season.

One such solution is moving to a more

remote setting for industries in which it is a feasible option. The pandemic in 2020 showed the world that working from home, telecommuting, and working remotely is much more viable than initially thought.

People were just as, if not more productive than they were in an office setting, and it ended up saving many businesses money, saving them from having to rent office space. Shifting to a hybrid or remote schedule where possible would save many people time, money, and the need to drive to work, adding to the pollutants in the air.

Another long-term solution involves beefing up public transit. In states like New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, public transit is everywhere. They have it down to a science. Many people who work in Manhattan, live in New Jersey, which is slightly more affordable, but commute to the city because they have the option to.

They can take various trains, busses, and other transportation without using their own cars.

With the announcement by the International Olympic Committee that Salt Lake City is a “Preferred Host” for the Winter Olympics in 2034, many are hoping for a similar boom in public transit as was seen in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics. If similar funding can be secured, and plans made in time, an expansion of things like TRAX and FrontRunner as well as other UTA programs and innovations could be a huge step in the right direction for combatting the inversion.

For the time being, it seems as though fossil fuels are here for the long haul.

They’ve been the primary source of energy for centuries now, and many have strong feelings either in favor of or in opposition to them. Finding alternative energy sources for transportation, generation of electricity, heating homes, and more would allow for a much more permanent solution to the smog and haze that plague so many this time of year.

It’s a long process, but one that, at some point in the future will be necessary.

Fossil fuels, no matter how plentiful, are finite. Whether it’s 100 years, 1,000 years, or 100,000 years, the reserves of coal, and oil will dry up, and humanity will be left with no other option but to find something more sustainable, and renewable. Why wait until the crisis presents itself when humanity is on the cusp of so many other great alternatives? l

ZHUZHED BROWNIES During the winter time, there are plenty of times that we may need to reach for what is in our pantry to create a quick delectable dessert.

Truth be told, my food storage houses a special shelf for boxes of brownie mixes just waiting to be created.

This recipe is a very easy way to “zhuzh” up any out of the box brownie. Tip to ALWAYS remember with brownies...DO NOT CUT THEM UNTIL COMPLETELY COOLED!.

If that means putting them outside on the cement...okay. Show self restraint (We all know how hard THAT is because they smell heavenly). Why wait? They will solidify into even more fudgey brownie bits if you chill them before slicing and serving.

Davis, Farmington getting set for Region 1 boys basketball battles

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

W

ith two fewer teams in their region than those in Region 5, Davis and Farmington are just getting ready to begin Region 1 play. Both teams had strong showings in non-region action.

Davis

The 9-4 Darts tip off the Region 1 slate this Friday at Fremont. Davis went 6-6 in region last year.

Last week, the Darts prepped for the start of region games by defeating two non-league opponents. The Darts took care of Bingham 67-58 on Jan. 3 and won at Mountain Ridge two days later in a 57-56 overtime thriller.

Against Bingham, Davis had big first and fourth quarters, scoring 20 and 23 points, respectively. Zach Fisher led the way in points and rebounds, tallying 19 and five in the two categories. Ike Morgan had 15 points and five assists.

Coleman Atwater had a solid outing, posting 12 points, three rebounds and four assists.

The closely contested game against Mountain Ridge saw Davis give up a fourth-quarter lead, only for the Darts to win the overtime battle. Atwater was the game’s top scorer with 18 points. Fisher and Easton Ralphs each had 14, with the latter hauling down a team-best seven rebounds.

In one last outing before region play gets underway, Davis lost its fourth game

DavisJ ournal.com

in 13 tries by falling to Lehi on Tuesday, 54-39. Lehi used big second and third quarters to run to victory. Facing a good defensive team, Davis didn’t have anyone reach double figures in points.

Fisher had a team-high nine points, with Bode Sparrow and Ralphs getting seven.

After going 6-3 in region play, the Bountiful Redhawks went 1-1 in their first two Region 5 contests, falling to Box Elder and beating Viewmont.

The Redhawks opened at home against Box Elder, Jan. 3, in an exciting back-and-forth game that went into overtime. Bountiful would eventually fall 75-72 but not before making a nice recovery after a tough first quarter.

Bountiful was down 22-15 after one period but went up by one at halftime, 3332. After Box Elder reclaimed the lead 51-49 after three quarters, the Redhawks forced overtime, only to come up short in the close three-point loss.

In defeat, Bountiful had balanced scoring, getting four players in double figures. Carson Smith and Bryson Heath each had 17 points, while Smith totaled a team-best 12 rebounds in a solid double-double performance. Charlie Smith added 15 points, and Arturo Garcia had a dozen points and four assists, leading the squad in the latter category.

The Redhawks responded in a big

way on the road two days later at Viewmont, blowing out the Vikings 72-49.

Bountiful shot well from the field, going 26 of 46. Meanwhile, Viewmont hit only 34% of its shots and made six fewer free throws than the Redhawks.

Charlie Smith had 22 points and five rebounds to lead the team in both categories. He made six three-pointers on the day. Heath tallied 14 points, five steals and four rebounds, while Carson Smith had 10 points, seven assists and four rebounds.

Bountiful improved to 7-4 on the year with a non-league win over Judge Memorial on Monday, winning 79-67.

Carson Smith again paced the Redhawks, this time with season- and career-high 29 points. Charlie Smith had 17 points, and Heath contributed 14.

After not playing in the two previous games, Faletau Satuala had eight points in the victory.

Bountiful hosted Northridge on Wednesday (after our press deadline) and next takes on Bonneville at home on Friday.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats dropped to 1-10 on the season with a pair of Region 5 losses last week. Woods Cross is looking to get on the winning track with games against Clearfield (Wednesday, after our press Please see BASKETBALL pg. 9

Farmington

The Phoenix have had a long break in the action, having not been on the court in a game since dispatching Copper Hills 54-51 on Dec. 30. Farmington opens Region 1 with a road game at Weber on Friday.

Like Davis, Farmington was 6-6 in region play a year ago, tying for fourth place. Farmington defeated Weber in both of last year’s meeting, winning 7769 and 76-59 in the two contests.

Head coach Kasey Walkenhurst has relied heavily on senior Paul Beattie, who leads the team and is fifth in Class 6A in scoring with an average of 19.9 a game. Fellow senior Jayden Haskell has been a big contributor too. He scores 13.5 points a game and has been in double figures nine times. He scored a season-high 29 points Dec. 8 at Skyridge. A senior-laden team, Farmington also has 12th-grader Carter Nordquist, who is averaging 7.1 points per game.

The Phoenix and Darts will both place all five Region 1 opponents twice.

Playoff positioning is based on a team’s overall record as well as strength of schedule, which is determined by opponents’ records. l

Eteuati’s 21 points paced the team’s offense with Richards (13 points), Kitchen (eight), Miller (six), Lifferth (six) and Dain (two) also scoring.

Davis is now 11-0 on the season.

Farmington

Farmington picked up its first win of the season Dec. 28 with a 63-16 rout of Granger. The Phoenix squad came out strong, taking a 32-9 advantage by halftime and allowing just seven points the rest of the way while pouring in 31 more points.

Brynn Ryan led Farmington with 19 points with Breklyn Archibald (eight points), Liberty Anderson (seven), Ava Goff (six), Kate Garff (six), Morgan Rogers (four), Jazmin Spence (three), Katie Myers (two), Hailey Larsen (two), Macy Fox (two), Emilie Figlioli (two) and Amira Bell (two).

Against Pleasant Grove Jan. 4, the Phoenix lost 54-49, going down early and facing a 12-point deficit at the break.

Farmington outscored the Vikings 24-17 in the second half but it wasn’t enough.

Ryan’s 18 points along with Rogers’ 11 led Farmington’s offense in the loss.

The Phoenix squad’s season record now stands at 1-9.

Bountiful

Bountiful, who is fourth in the 5A ranks, defeated Springville 46-29 Dec. 19. The Redhawks turned a one-point deficit at halftime into a huge lead with a 19-point third quarter effort – to the Red Devils’ two points – to pull away in the win.

Taylor Harvey led the way with 20 points while Milika Satuala was also in double figures with 15 points. Also scoring for Bountiful were Mae Johnson (seven points) and Adelaide Stevenson (two) and Anna Larson (two).

two at the end of the first quarter and then held a two-point lead heading into the break. An 18-point third quarter for the Redhawks broke open the game and Bountiful coasted to the win.

Harvey and Satuala combined for 39 points to lead the scoring with Maleah Nelson (six points), Johnson (six), Stevenson (five) and Isabeau Hoff (three) also providing offense.

The Redhawks picked up another big win with a 69-46 victory over Box Elder Jan. 3 with a 42-point first-half showing and adding 27 points over the final 16 minutes.

Satuala had 18 points to lead the way with Harvey (16 points), Mae Johnson (13), Stevenson (nine), Nelson (five), Anna Larson (three), Hoff (three), Charlotte Johnson (two) also scoring in the win.

Bountiful then beat Viewmont 81-54 Jan. 5, turning a seven-point lead after the first quarter into an 18-point advantage by the break. A 37-point second-half effort helped the Redhawks coast to the win.

Nelson nailed six 3-pointers and scored 24 points to lead the team while Harvey added 23, Satuala 15, Stevenson 8, Johnson 8, Brynna Castleton 2 and Hoff 1.

tiful improved its season record to 8-3.

Viewmont

Viewmont defeated Riverton 5651 Dec. 19. The Vikings stayed in front much of the game as they were up three at the end of the first quarter and a one-point edge at the break. Twenty-eight points in the second half – to the Silverwolves’ 24 – were enough in the win.

“It was a hard-fought battle from start to finish,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “It was a great team win. We had a lot of girls step up and do good things.

We battled through some adversity with two players getting injured and not being able to return to the game. We won the rebounding battle and played with passion to win. I’m proud of this team.”

Three players were in double figures for Viewmont – Aubrey Mulitalo (16 points), Kristina Gunnell (15) and Mara Mickelson (11) – while Callie Peterson (five), Sophie Gold (four), Kelsey Lindsey (two), Mary Carr (two) and Cayla Stout (one) were also part of the team’s offense.

Against Roy Jan. 3, the Vikings won 58-50. They were down by five after the first quarter and battled through a tight game, entering the fourth quarter behind by two points before outscoring the Royals by 10 to pull out the win.

“It wasn’t perfect, but it feels good to start region 1-0,” Gardner said. “We were trailing to start the fourth quarter and ended up winning the fourth by 10 points to secure the victory. We got down by as many as 10 points early in the first half and we showed resiliency and toughness by not wavering when we got down and we made some adjustments at halftime and came away with the win.”

Mulitalo again led the squad with 17 points with Gunnell (11 points), Mickelson (eight), Stouto (seven), Carr (six), Gold (four), Peterson (three) and Karissa Goff (two) also scoring.

In an 81-54 loss to Bountiful Jan. 5, Gunnell was the leading scorer with 25 points while Carr added 17.

The Vikings are now 6-5 this season.

Woods Cross

Woods Cross lost to Judge 45-42 Dec. 18. The Wildcats got down early – 16-3 after the first quarter – and battled back to make it a game with 30 points through the next two quarters to tie things up going into the final quarter before coming up just short.

Kiyomi Tauataina scored 11 points to lead Woods Cross.

Against Murray Dec. 19, the Wildcats lost 36-35. Woods Cross was up five at the end of the half and then at the end

of the third, but managed just four points over the final eight minutes to lose by one.

Mari Nichols was the leading scorer with 11 points in the loss.

Against Brighton Dec. 27, the Wildcats pulled out a 45-44 win. Woods Cross was down three points at halftime before taking a two point edge into the final quarter and then holding on for the onepoint win.

“This game was a really great game for us,” said head coach David Simon. “I think Brighton is one of the top teams in 5A so we knew it was going to be a really tough game. We came out and played really well defensively. I challenged the girls before the game to come out strong to start the game. We did that and then we matched their intensity throughout the game. We did not shoot free throws well and that hurt us.”

Kiyomi Tauataina had 10 points to lead the Wildcats while Mari Nichols (eight points), Katie King (eight), Adia Cook (eight), Avery Poulton (seven), Grace MacArthur (two) and Ili Crockett (two) also scored.

“We played well enough that we had a chance to win at the end of the game,” said Simon. “With about 13 seconds left in the game and down 1 point, we set up a play that the girls executed perfectly.

Katie King made a great pass to Mari Nichols for a lay up and the go-ahead basket. Brighton got the ball in bounds with about six seconds left and got a shot off, but missed and we ended up winning.

The contributions were very even for our team and everyone played a role in this win. This was important for us because we had not been playing very well the previous couple of games.”

Woods Cross then faced Weber Dec. 29 and won 53-42. The Wildcats were down in the first half before flipping the script with a 36-point second half to win by 11.

“This was a hard-fought game,” Simon said. “We had a really good second half offensive game, making a few shots and defending pretty well. We did foul a lot so we have to work on getting ourselves in better defensive positions.”

King’s 19 points were tops for the squad with Crockett (10 points), MacArthur (seven), Nichols (six), Tauataina (five), Cook (five) and Poulton (two) also part of the offense.

Against Bonneville Jan. 3, Woods Cross won 49-38, coming out strong and finishing strong with the first and final quarters making the difference in the nine-point win.

Katie King again led the Wildcats with 16 points, including three 3-pointers, while Tauataina (10 points), Cook (eight), Nichols (seven), MacArthur (five) and Poulton (three) also scored in the win.

Against Box Elder Jan. 5, Woods Cross lost 58-50.

“It was a super competitive game for us,” said Simon. “Box Elder has some good speed and we had a hard time in transition both on offense and defense. It came down to the fourth quarter and we just turned the ball over too many times that it was too much to overcome. We continue to work to be better and the girls are buying into the hard work.”

King had 15 points with Nichols (14 points) and Poulton (11) also scoring in double figures. Poulton was tops on the glass with eight rebounds.

The Wildcats are currently 6-5 on the year. l

Road rage violence on the rise

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—No matter how it rears its ugly head, road rage is loathsome. Whether it’s tailgating, rude gestures or language, or, as many have seen recently, out-and-out violence, it’s a huge problem, and according to the data, it’s only getting worse. The questions that remain, however, are what is to blame for the increase, and what can be done to stop it? Two professionals share their thoughts.

Sgt. Cameron Roden of the Utah Highway Patrol (UHP) agreed that, while road rage is difficult to quantify, “It does seem like these events are occurring more often” and stated that UHP has been looking into the statistics surrounding road rage. What makes it difficult, however, is that road rage in and of itself is not an infraction or crime, meaning that UHP officers have to sort through mountains of data to find instances.

As of yet, there haven’t been any trends or noticeable patterns detected

by UHP, “we haven’t been able to identify any one reason,” said Roden, and even the offenders are a mixed bag of first-timers and those with a history.

That doesn’t mean that UHP is just sitting around, however. Roden explained that educational campaigns both online and on social media are on the way to help curb the rise of violent road rage incidents.

“Road rage itself is something that is 100% avoidable,” Roden said, “Everybody is responsible for driving safely.” But how does one drive safely when

there are so many aggressive drivers on the road? According to UHP, and Roden, there are several steps residents can take when they encounter someone driving aggressively. These include: • Staying focused on the road • Putting distance between yourself and the aggressive driver • Calling law enforcement • Deescalate – don’t engage For more insight into what could be causing this marked increase in violent events, Dr. Rene Valles of Davis Behavioral Health lent his professional insight.

Dr. Valles, a board-certified psychiatrist agreed that, while there may be no one specific cause of these incidents, there are a few factors that could be contributing to the rise in explosive incidents people are seeing on Utah roads.

Valles echoed Roden’s sentiments and provided data that showed a marked increase in road rage incidents in the past 10 years. Valles also provided some insight into not only possible causes, but possible explanations for what’s going on with the people that burst out violently on Utah roads, and elsewhere.

One possible explanation was linked to a study of overcrowded rats that became irritable and violent when crowded together, “(there is a) rise of people on the road,” said Valles, saying that it could very well be that the overcrowding on the roads is leading people to lash out, especially, “when people have a hard time planning ahead.”

The population change in Utah has been significant, and fast. In the past 10 years for example, there’s been an almost 18% increase in population alone, meaning that there are many more people sharing the same amount of space,

the same resources, and the same roads.

While a major factor in the equation, that’s certainly not all.

Two other contributing factors, said Valles are an increase in substance abuse, and the long-lasting effects of the 2020 pandemic. People abusing substances like drugs or alcohol often get “angrier quicker,” said Valles, leading to violent outbursts. It also limits the ability to think about the long-term consequences of such actions.

In terms of the pandemic, “we’re all about two years developmentally delayed,” said Valles, “We were all placed in social isolation.” Which means that there’s a lot socially that people either need to learn, or relearn. Interacting with others, especially on the road, requires time and patience, and globally, people are two years behind schedule.

As bleak as it all may seem, solu-

tions exist. In the longterm, Valles says the first step is recognizing the need for help, “Therapy is never the wrong answer,” he said, for everyone, but especially for those struggling with anxiety, depression, anger management, or, what the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) calls “Intermittent Explosive Disorder,” a condition possibly related to road rage.

However, in the short term, Valles’ advice for dealing with those on the road exhibiting these behaviors is similar to Roden: don’t engage. “It’s never the right answer to touch a hot stove,” he said, encouraging drivers to move to the next lane, and, if drivers start to get angry themselves, engage in deep breathing exercises, or put on some calming music.

It’s clear that, no matter the cause, road rage incidents are on the rise, and that they may be here to stay. For those seeking help in managing anger, anxiety, depression, or dealing with the emotional fallout from being attacked or engaged in road rage, resources are available. Davis Behavioral Health has many trained professionals, including Valles on staff to help with these issues, and there are resources like the University of Utah’s mental health center, or the National Association of Mental Illness, which hosts workshops and groups.

As Roden put it, “We all start with ourselves.” Road rage, though on the rise, is something that is completely preventable, and if everyone were to put the work in, Utah’s roads would be a much safer place for everyone driving them. l

Utah Youth Tennis league offers affordable way for kids to learn the sport

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—Tennis is a popular sport but hasn’t always been accessible to everyone. A new organization, Utah Youth Tennis (UYT), aims to give kids an affordable way to learn and enjoy the sport.

“I was coaching high school tennis in 2015,” said Founding Director Rob Allen. “Most of the kids who played were new to tennis and had never played before. There weren’t a lot of options.

You either had to take private lessons or go to exclusive clubs that were expensive.”

At the end of 2015, Allen said he worked on putting together a teen tennis program. “It was a way to introduce tennis that would be cheaper than private lessons.”

Allen started the Utah Youth Team Tennis League with one team in Provo.

“It was mostly in Utah County but it ex-

deadline) and Viewmont (Friday).

Both of the Wildcats’ losses were close. First, the team fell at Bonneville in the region opener on Jan. 3, 46-43. In this defensive battle, both teams struggled from the field, with Woods Cross making 16 of 40 shots. Bryson Watson was the leading scorer for the Wildcats, netting 15 points. Hunter Jackson joined him in double figures, scoring 11 points on the day.

panded to other cities. It’s growing drastically. We have several thousand students and 200-300 coaches. The coaches are mostly parents who grew up playing and still play and college students who played high school tennis.”

UYT rents school facilities rather than large tennis clubs, he said. “They are underutilized so we can rent them for kids to use.”

There are two main seasons, said Allen. “Fall is from September to October and spring is from March through April to correspond with the high school tennis season. We started in Davis County last fall.”

The program is geared toward middle school and junior high leagues that can play against other teams, he said.

“We’ve expanded it to include classes/ leagues for grades K-12, as well as some adult classes.”

On average there are about 15-20 kids per league, said Allen. “It’s about the same number as a youth soccer

team.”

All skill levels are accepted, he said.

“We don’t cut anybody. We have varsity and junior varsity squads and we match best against the best. There’s one team for each area. A lot of kids have not played before and others have team experience but want more match opportunities.”

For parents who want their kids to be top tier players this can be a supplement not a replacement for private lessons, said Allen. “It’s definitely a great place for the experience of a team. This gives every kid a chance to play.”

High School coaches have been very supportive, said UYT Davis County Director, Christine Foster. “We’re still building relationships but I had good feedback from the first season.”

“We see it as a win to grow our program,” said Allen. “It gives coaches more kids feeding into their program with more experience before high school.”

Foster said they hold two practices a week with matches on Saturdays. “We play other teams in the area. We practice after high school finishes around five then we hop onto the court.”

“We have group drills,” Allen said.

“But we run small groups like beginners with different needs. There’s a wide range of skill needs.”

A lot of kids are taking private lessons, he said. “That is good but some have never actually played a match.

It’s backwards from other sports. Like 5-year-olds in Jr. Jazz they haven’t had a practice they just show up and play. You learn by playing and doing.”

UYT’s goal is to offer team, accessible and affordable tennis, said Allen.

“Our mission is to get kids playing.”

The region opener was a close call for Viewmont. The Vikings took Roy to overtime in a competitive road game, eventually ending up losing 77-71.

Viewmont was up 28-23 at halftime but then had to make a fourth-quarter comeback after Roy took a 47-42 lead into the final six minutes of play. Roy outscored the Vikings 18-12 in overtime.

New ‘Mean Girls’ missing some pizzaz, while ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ drags

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Mean Girls (in theaters)

Should we modernize campy cult classics?

In most cases, the answer is an unqualified no.

In the case of the 20-year-old “Mean Girls,” which just hit theaters in the form of a modernized musical, the answer is more complicated. Yes, the musical is a lot closer to modern teen experience. It makes the social messages more timely, and may help current teens feel seen and understood far more than the now decidedly retro original.

But the camp is gone. The deliciously absurdist edge of the original is almost eradicated, visible only in flickering moments and a handful of performances. This is a musical, one of the potentially campiest genres out there, and yet the lead villain sounds like Sexy Taylor Swift (tm). Only the songs sung

by Avantika as Karen have anywhere near the show stopping verve they’re supposed to. I’m watching “Mean Girls,” a movie that’s supposed to carry the spirit of an undisputed cult classic, and I’m kind of

bored.

Still, there are a few people with the right energy. Avantika gives her all to her character’s sweet ditz energy, and Busy Phillips is perfect as Regina’s mom. Auli’i Cravalho offers a great twist on Janice, while Jaquel Spivey is an absolute delight as Damien.

Renée Rapp was great as drugged Regina, and Angourie Rice had some sweet moments as Cady.

Watching them blends the best of old and new “Mean Girls,” giving you a real sense of what the movie was trying to do.

Grade:  Two and a half stars

Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (in theaters)

I’m all for keeping movies shorter, but not when they sacrifice the quality of the movies themselves.

“Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom” comes in at just over two hours, which is a relatively brisk time in today’s movie climate. Unfortunately, the entire first hour is told almost like a recap rather than the actual movie, with an immense amount of voiceover narration and potentially interesting scenes cut down to a series of excerpts. Though the second hour settles into dumb fun, particularly in the interplay between

Jason Momoa and Patrick Wilson, the first hour feels more like hearing the story told to you by a particularly uninteresting man at a party.

There’s also even more CGI in this one than there was in the original, and the quality hasn’t improved in the slightest. Avoid 3D screenings whenever you can and be grateful for the moments when the characters get to be surrounded by reality.

Still, there are things to like in the second half of the movie. The best of them is the unexpected comedy duo that is Momoa and Wilson, whose hatred from the first movie has mellowed into an exasperation that feels particularly sibling-like. Their characters have very different ways of doing pretty much everything, which means that making them work together leads to the most interesting sequences in the whole movie.

In my dreams, Warner Brothers would drop them both in a streaming series where they have to do things like go to the grocery store and babysit Aquaman’s son. I would watch six seasons of it.

Morgan named fourth-best county for youngsters to get ahead

By Linda Petersen

‘Oppenheimer’ upsets ‘Barbie’ at Golden Globes

I

n a new study, Morgan County has been identified as the fourth-best county in the nation where children have a shot at upward economic mobility. In the study, Wealth Enhancement Group, a national registered investment advisory firm used Harvard University's Social Capital Atlas, a platform that mines social network data to measure and analyze what is known as “social capital” (the networks of relationships among people who live and work in a particular society, enabling that society to function effectively).

Economic mobility is defined as a person's ability to move themselves and their families up the socioeconomic ladder over their lifetime.

“The research draws on a privacy-protected dataset representing 21 billion friendships from Facebook made public through its parent company Meta's Data for Good project,” Wealth Enhancement’s Dec. 20 blog says. “It also uses anonymous tax records, according to the authors. The scholars assigned a score to locales according to how economically connected low and high-income people living in the area have historically been over at least a decade, per that data.”

According to the Social Capital Atlas, 64.6 percent of those who use Facebook in Morgan County are high-income.

Statistics cited by Wealth Enhancement Group indicate that the median income of Morgan County residents is $112,721.

The study claims that friendships between people of different socioeconomic backgrounds can benefit young people in unexpected ways.

‘Those connections may provide people with the motivation, opportuni-

In a surprising turn of events in the world of entertainment, Christopher Nolan’s biopic “Oppenheimer” upset Greta Gerwig’s sensation, “Barbie” bringing home five trophies to two. The success of the Mattel phenomenon was offset largely by “Poor Things”, starring Emma Stone. Still, Gerwig’s film managed to bring home awards for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, and Best Original Song in a Motion Picture.

“Barbie” also held on to the top box office slot for 2023, grossing a total of $636,230,407 in ticket sales by the end of the year. Both “Barbie” and Oppenheimer” have been credited as a rejuvenating force for movie theaters in a post-pandemic world.

ties, and access to information that can help them improve their circumstances,” it says.

“It turns out the ability to cultivate friendships linking people of different socioeconomic backgrounds with one another is the strongest factor in determining whether a child can surpass the earning potential of their parents, Harvard researchers found,” the blog says.

“They call this economic connectedness.

Economic connectedness is a form of social capital, which is the relationships that allow us to obtain resources and opportunities to gain advantages in life.”

MCSD opens Wellness Rooms at three schools

By Ethan Hoffmann

F

or many high school students, it is common to feel stressed and overwhelmed. From managing family and friend relationships to work and extracurricular activities, life has many demands and is constantly throwing curveballs.

Morgan High School (MHS) offers a Wellness Room to students for that very reason.

According to Kylee Rock, the head of the project, the purpose of the Wellness Room is to “provide students with the opportunity to self-regulate: realizing that they are overwhelmed and stressed and need a break.” Their mission is to provide a safe place for students to get away from school and daily stress to relax and unwind. Rock has worked at Morgan High School for the last six years and she knows the ins and outs of the school.

“Whenever a student is upset, frustrated, or stressed they either go to the counseling center or the bathroom,” Rock commented. “They might not want to talk to anyone at the moment, but they do know that they can't handle things for the time being. The Wellness Room gives them that opportunity.”

Rock worked with Kimmalee Crookston, a member of Weber Human Services Prevention, to make the Wellness Room a reality. Crookston informed Rock that there was grant money available for schools to organize a Wellness Room.

As a result, Rock and Crookston wrote a grant together and secured the funding needed. Once that was done, all they

Winter weather pounds US

After an unseasonably warm and dry holiday season, the United States is being pounded with winter weather, from coast to coast. Meteorologists and safety experts cautioned drivers from the East Coast to the Midwest to the West to take extra precautions during their commutes this week as heavy rain and snow were forecast in many different parts of the nation. Though dangerous, the precipitation has bolstered the underwhelming snowpack in the western US, and experts predict that there is only more on the way.

Stanley tumblers sweep the nation

Initially popular only in the Intermountain West, the Stanley brand tumbler has swept the nation causing shortages in many locations and online. The 40-ounce cup gained notoriety in recent months after one owner shared a video of the cup having survived a car fire, and the brand has only continued to gain steam. The meteoric rise in popularity, however, has spurred division on social media, separating people into three camps of thought: those who love the cup, those who are indifferent, and those who are vehemently against it.

had to do was find a place. Rock worked closely with administration to find the best location and they determined that the CTE classroom (Once used for storage and as a photo lab) was the most efficient way to use the extra space.

The process itself is simple: students must inform their teacher before leaving class. Then they will receive a special hall pass that serves as a ticket into the Wellness Room. The Wellness Room is available any time throughout the day with teacher approval. Once students check-in,

they are free to go into the room and utilize a mindfulness tool. There are various services provided at the Wellness Room; music, peace and quiet, fidgets, puzzles, and sand art to name a few.

As the sign “No cellphone use please” suggests, technology usage is strongly discouraged while using the Wellness Room. Students are asked to leave their belongings outside the room and phone

Former president Donald Trump returned to court this week to argue that he should be immune from prosecution for the events on Jan. 6 due to his having been the president. The three judges presiding over the hearing expressed doubt about this claim, saying that it was “paradoxical” for a former president to cite the Constitution to justify the violation of laws. Trump is currently still the frontrunner in the Republican polls in the 2024 race against the current president, Joe Biden. Despite positive polling numbers, the former president will also have to contend against states like Colorado, which have removed his name from the ballot.

Morgan Swim Team continues to make waves

By Liisa London Mecham

I

t’s midseason for the Morgan High Swim team! They just returned from a trip to Moab where they competed on Friday, Jan. 5, and Saturday, Jan. 6. The next Wednesday, January 10, they competed against North Summit and held their Senior Night. Each meet they are looking to continue shaving seconds off their times as they prepare for Region on Feb. 1, 2024, in Heber City and the 3A State Swimming Championships at BYU Feb. 16-17.

For the past eight years, Morgan High’s swimmers, coaches, and parents have traveled miles daily to make the swim team viable at a school in a town that doesn’t have a pool. The sacrifices required to participate on the swim team include leaving the high school at 4:15 pm daily to travel to Coalville to practice at the North Summit pool. Morgan never has home meets. Every meet is an away meet, even the past week when they swam in their practice pool, they were the visiting team, with North Summit hosting the event.

But the Trojans’ intrepid swimmers continue to deal with the logistical challenges to participate and excel in the sport they love. Twenty-six students comprise the swim team this year. Led by third-year coach Kerrie Gordon, the team is competing well in the region and state meets and improving their personal records (PR) at almost every meet. Jared Noorda, team meet coordinator and statistician, shared that most of the swimmers have already individually had five PRs this year! One swimmer has shaved over a 1:39 off her initial time. Hours of swimming are paying off big dividends for the swimmers.

Although this year’s team is smaller than some teams in the past that have had over 50 swimmers, there are several swimmers who can compete against the best in the state Lizzy Bess is a junior swimmer who is ranked in the top 100 swimmers in the state in seven of the eight events. Bess and senior Brielle Sill have been trading school records in the 100 Breaststroke, for the past year. Sill is currently holding the record, having broken Bess’ record last year. Sill is ranked in the top 100 in the state in all eight events. Another female swimmer with top times on the team is sophomore Tessa Smith. She is the fastest backstroker and excels in freestyle On the boys’ team, sophomore Connelly Breinholt, a sprinter, is one of only four swimmers in MHS history to swim the 50 Freestyle race in under 25 seconds.

He has a bright future for the Trojans and looks to compete well at Region and State. Junior Gerrit Noorda is a distance specialist. He is the school 500 freestyle record holder with a time of 5:38.28 and is two seconds away from breaking the school record for the 200 freestyle. He is also ranked in the Top 100 in the state in all eight events. Senior Connor Smith is working to break the school 200 IM (Individual Medley-butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle) record and is the fastest 100 backstroker on the team.

“We consistently take 20 kids to state,” Noorda shared. “We have 12 or so kids who will qualify and compete in individual events, and other swimmers who are on our relays. It’s hard to compete against Ogden and Union in our region for depth; we just don’t have the numbers.”

The Morgan Swim Team traveled to Moab last weekend for two meets, one

Friday and one Saturday. The opponents were Grand County, Gunnison Valley, and Hurricane High Schools.

Noorda shared that 18 PRs were reached by swimmers in the Friday meet. He reported on the success of several swimmers.

Lizzy Bess won the 200 yd freestyle event and dropped 8 seconds off her time.

Connelly Breinholt dropped 14 seconds off his 200 yd freestyle time, and he won the 100 yd freestyle event with a 56.04 second time.

Bess, Brooke Williford, Brielle Sill, and Tessa Smith won the 200-yard freestyle relay event.

Drew Korth places 6th at Reno Tournament of Champions

he Morgan grapplers have been busy building their skills as they continue to compete against top competition to prepare them for the divisional and state tournaments. Coach Kelly Wilson reports that his team has been struggling with injuries and illness, but he is hopeful his wrestlers will soon be healthy and able to compete at the level they will need against tough region competition like South Summit and the top-ranked 3A team in the state, Juab. Both will wrestle Morgan, along with Wasatch, in the coming weeks to test the Trojans as they prepare to do battle in the end-of-season tournaments.

At the Richardson Memorial Tournament last weekend in Tremonton, Morgan, still down starting wrestlers due to injury and illness, placed four wrestlers on the podium.

Zak Sargent (190) advanced to the championship bout with three victories by fall. His longest match was 4:29 with the other two pins coming in the first period (1:18, 1:31). In the finals, Sargent wrestled a tough match against Olympus’ Andre Leota, losing by decision 8-4, to finish second.

Luke Woolsey, who Coach Wilson is happy to see back in the lineup after recovering from a knee injury, placed fourth in his first tournament back on the mat. Woolsey (132) fell in the semifinals to Star Valley’s Tel Parry, won his next match, and then placed fourth after a close match in the Consolation Finals.

At 144 pounds, Sim Wardell fell in the second round and then won five consecutive consolation matches to qualify for the 3rd Place Match. Wardell fought South Summit’s Brandon Mora to a 0-0 tie at the end of three periods before falling 2-0 in a sudden victory to place fourth.

Krew Galbraith (175) suffered a quarterfinal loss by fall (3:11), but he rebounded to win his next two matches in the consolation bracket and then placed sixth.

Coach Wilson noted, “Richardson Memorial is a tough tournament. We placed four, even though it would have been nice to see more of our guys on the podium. We’re still wrestling short with Drew and Ryler out with elbow injuries sustained in Reno, and other illnesses traveling through the team.”

“The guys battled hard!” he explained. “It’s been hard to have so many

kids out sick. We had 20 people out sick the night we wrestled Union in Morgan.”

“The Richardson Memorial showed us how tough South Summit is this year,” he commented. The Wildcats took second to 6A Westgate in the tournament. Wilson continued, “We are hosting Juab on Jan. 24 and traveling to South Summit the next night. It would be great to see everyone healthy.”

Morgan looks to retain its Region 13 title with wins over South Summit and Grantsville. The Trojans overpowered Ben Lomond 81-0 and Odgen 84-0 on January 3 in a tri-dual. They wrestled Grantsville in Grantsville Jan. 11 and will compete at the Rumble this weekend.

The final home matches for the year will be Jan. 17 against Wasatch and Jan. 24 against Juab. Come out and see some great wrestling as the Trojans take on these two powerhouse, state contenders.

Reno Tournament of Champions (Dec. 15-16) Morgan junior Drew Korth earned a sixth-place finish at the prestigious Reno Tournament of Champions. Teams from throughout the West, especially California where there is only one extremely challenging classification for all schools, attend this tournament to vie for recognition. Along the way to his semifinal bout, he upset the No. 2 seed in an exciting overtime victory. In the semifinals, Korth lost and then was injured in his consolation match, forcing him to medically forfeit his final match to place sixth.

Girls hoops end slide with a 44-18 win over Stansbury

By Brian Shaw

T

o say this season has been a struggle would be an understatement for Morgan’s girls’ basketball team.

Morgan is now done with its preseason slate of games, having finished it with a 2-10 record.

Three days after a resounding 4418 win over 4A Stansbury on Dec. 15, the Trojans took 6A American Fork to the brink on Dec. 18 before losing by the final score of 48-55.

After the team took a break during the holidays, they resumed play on Jan. 4 at 6A Skyridge. The Trojans led through three quarters before falling 37-48.

When Morgan resumed play after

the holidays, the Trojans had a tough task ahead at 6A Skyridge. But the Trojans had a 7-4 lead after one quarter, led by five points at the break by the score of 21-16, and still led 3329 after three periods. It took a 19-4 fourth quarter by Skyridge to avoid the Trojans’ upset bid, which was led by Titus, who had 11 points for Morgan.

Eva Birkeland and Noss each scored eight.

Still and all, a record of one win and three losses during arguably the most difficult stretch of the season isn’t bad for a Morgan team that is breaking in several new starters at key positions.

What’s ironic about Morgan’s improved play was that the Trojans near-

ly broke what turned out to be a twogame skid at Fremont back on Dec. 12.

Morgan may have lost that battle to Fremont by the final score of 4648, but the reigning 3A champions gave the 6A semifinalists everything they could handle in an all-out war.

Titus and Leah Birkeland each scored 11 points to pace Morgan, while Kaydence Wardell pitched in nine and Eva Birkeland seven for the Trojans.

When Morgan head coach Sterling Mack said he wanted to “play like some of the great UNLV run-and-gun teams” this season, it appears the lessons Mack has been teaching his Trojans this preseason might be sinking in.

In Morgan’s win [44-18] over

Stansbury, their second, the Trojans had 18 points from junior Eva Birkeland, her second-best outing of the season. Morgan rode a 13-0 first quarter into the locker room with a 19-8 halftime lead. Junior Alexis Burt chipped in five points, while Abby Titus, Keira Brewer, and Leah Birkeland each scored four in the win that saw the Trojans extend their lead to 23 points at 37-14 by the end of the third quarter.

The win was Morgan’s first since Dec. 2’s 58-18 drubbing of Timpanogos during the Morgan Winter Classic.

The Trojans will start region play this week with a game at Ogden Jan. 9 before coming home to face Grantsville on Jan. 11. l

Better three-point shooting efficiency, rebounding key to Morgan boys basketball’s 3-game win streak

By Brian Shaw

A

few days after a 13-point loss to Bear River at home Dec. 15 dropped the Trojans to 2-7 under new head coach Scott Hunt, they needed some luck to start going their way.

Whatever the magic formula was that transformed Morgan into a juggernaut over the next three games worked.

The Trojans were barely three days clear of that loss to Bear River when they knocked down 32 shots in a 7745 pasting of 5A Granger Dec. 18.

Six players knocked down at least one three-point shot in the win.

Morgan [5-7] continued draining

threes a night later on Dec. 19 in an 83-57 annihilation of 2A’s APA West Valley. On that night also at home inside Morgan’s gymnasium, Kolton Asay drilled seven threes [25 points].

The formula was very similar to the game before it: the Trojans had six players knock down their shots from behind the arc.

Even a lengthy holiday break of 14 days wouldn’t quell the Trojans ability to hit three-point shots--Asay pumped home five more—as Morgan rolled to its third straight, a 74-59 win over 3A’s Summit Academy Jan. 3.

But what did change, somewhat, is that the Trojans were not only still making their shots [29] against Sum-

mit Academy, but they were also rebounding their missed shots [33] at a very high rate.

For the season, Bracken Saunders [17.6 points per game] has been the team’s leading scorer in most of the Trojans’ games. Kolton Asay [12.8 ppg] has been coming on of late thanks to several recent impressive scoring outings.

But the secret behind this 3-game win streak under new head coach Scott Hunt might be in the Trojans’ ability as a team to take threes, make threes, and rebound missed threes.

they’re making or putbacks from offensive rebounds.

A total of nine of Morgan’s players average at least a rebound or more per game, led by Mason Williams who’s come on as of late and has had five or more rebounds over each of his last eight games. Nikolas Preece and Saunders are each averaging four boards for the Trojans.

It’s that tenacity behind the arc and around the rim that might give these Trojans a fighting chance in region play when it begins this week on January 10 at home versus Ogden and continues at Grantsville on Jan. 12. l

Looking back at the holidays: Festivities at the Family Tree Assisted Living of Morgan

By Olivia Rees

M

uch to the delight of all those involved, a full holiday schedule was planned for the residents of Family Tree Assisted Living of Morgan during the month of December. Family Tree started the festive season off with a bang hosting a resident and family Christmas party. One of their favorite music groups, 'Stampede,'' came and performed a music program followed by a jolly visit from Santa Claus. With refreshments of hot cocoa and donuts, this activity has been done for the past several years with the residents and their families alike relishing it.

Of that joyous celebration, Family Tree shared in a social media post, “This week, we celebrated our annual Christmas party, and what a magical day it was! Our lovely residents, their wonderful families, and our dedicated staff came together to create unforgettable memories. The lobby was transformed into a winter wonderland, complete with twinkling lights and a beautifully adorned Christmas tree that reached towards the heavens.

Page 4 | January 12, 2024

The highlight of the day was when our residents and their families gathered together. It was a heartwarming sight to see generations come together, sharing love and happiness.”

While the party was a big, preplanned event, several smaller-scale things happened throughout the month due to the benevolence of the community who wanted to help residents enjoy even more of that holiday spirit. Several reached out to Family Tree wanting to come in and visit, perform, and service.

“Our Director Tawnia Lunt had scheduled and organized some amazing programs,” said Stacie House. “We had so many from the community that wanted to come and Christmas carol, play games or just come in and visit with the residents.”

House, who has been working at Family Tree for 14 years and loving it, initially started as a CNA before advancing to the Resident Care Coordinator and current position as the new Administrator for Family Tree. Through that experience, House has had the opportunity to observe and participate in the holiday season celebrations over the years and develop meaningful relationships. “The

connections and friendships we have made with our residents and their families over the years are priceless; they will always hold a special place in our hearts.”

Last year, Family Tree did a Christmas-giving tree organized by the amazing office manager, Brenda Heiner. It was such a huge success that it was repeated this year. The staff went around and asked the residents for two things: what they needed for Christmas and a wish.

Examples of things they needed were everyday items such as slippers, a coat, a sweater, or even an extra pillow. The wishes were “really quite fun” as House said. Some items requested included a case of whoppers, OJ, and a stocking cap. “It's amazing how the word got out that we were doing this and the people that showed up to grab a name off our tree were absolutely amazing, the names went so fast people wanted to know what else they could do we decided to do another round so the staff put more tags together of what the residents needed, and again the community were here getting more tags off the tree. Some families brought in blankets that they had made for each resident. Rice bags were also

made for every resident along with a lot of other amazing things. The outpour of love and holiday cheer brought into our building was greatly appreciated by all,” enthused House.

Of the holidays, a resident commented, “I enjoyed the month of December. We had a lot of activities to do. I got a good feeling from all the concerts and performances.”

The celebrations and activities filled the assisted living center with light, laughter, and new life. One resident shared how when you are alone, “you start thinking back to when your kids were there. I miss that but yet had a lot of them come visit with me and it made me feel a part of it.”

All around, December was a month at the Family Tree filled with love, holiday cheer, and giving. Family Tree concisely surmised, “At Family Tree Assisted Living, we’re not just a community; we’re a family. This week's celebration was a beautiful reminder of the bonds we share and the joy we bring to each other’s lives.”l

he purpose of the Wellness Room at Mountain Green Middle School is to calm yourself if you need a break. They only allow three students at a time. First, students check in with Mrs. Berkholder or Mrs. Mellor. They will ask how the student is feeling at that moment They will show them a scale that has a temperature scale that goes from one to five. They will also show them a page where there are different faces of emotions and you would choose one. They will hand the stu-

chargers are provided for personal devices. Rock emphasized that “the wellness room is supervised. There is always a member of the staff present. It is not a place to hang out and it is not intended for hiding or sluffing a class. It has a specific purpose.” Students are permitted only fifteen minutes in the Wellness Room to destress and decompress before returning to class. Once students are ready to learn, they will need to make up for lost time and homework but assistance from the teacher will be given like usual.

The concept of a Wellness Room has been around for quite some time. They originated in colleges and have begun to work their way down into high schools, middle schools, and even elementary schools. MHS follows the program "Brain Tree Wellness'' which offers software that allows students to check in, tell the counselors how they're feeling, and utilize the room. According to their website (featured below), “the Wellness Room

system is based on physiology and neuroscience. We model and teach students to recognize how their stress response system works. We teach coping skills to use to self-regulate and soothe their nervous system.” The Wellness Room has had a very positive impact so far. Statistics show that there is a 95% increase in attitude from when students enter the room to when they leave. In most cases, they go from being stressed and anxious to calm and relaxed.

The Wellness Room is part of the MHS Connection Center which also provides a food pantry, hygiene kits, showers, study rooms, mental health services, clothing, laundry services, and more. In addition, there are wellness centers in both middle schools. The goal is to establish them in the elementary schools as well. If you are interested in using the Wellness Room, it is located behind the counseling center (Two doors down) near the computer labs.

he purpose of the Wellness room at Morgan Middle School (MMS) is to help students learn to self-regulate. “If they are struggling with stress, anxiety, unable to focus or anything that prevents them from doing their work, they come to the room to take a break and regulate themselves so they can return to class more focused,” said school counselor Kandi Christiansen.

Zions Bank economist gives 2024 outlook

By Brice Wallace

T

he economic forecasting season has begun, and Robert Spendlove has thrown out the first pitch.

At the recent Zions Bank 2024 economic outlook event, the bank’s senior economist pegged the chances of a national recession this year at 50-50 but added that Utah likely would get through it OK. “I’ll tell you that that has been the thing that has gotten a lot of economists scratching their heads, because we all thought it was going to happen in 2023 and it didn’t happen,” Spendlove said at the event, held at the Zions Technology Center in Midvale.

“I still think there’s about a 50 percent chance. A few months ago, six months ago, It was at closer to 65, 70 percent, so I do think that probability of recession has gone down, but there still are some of those factors that could tip the U.S. into a recession nationally.

I think locally we are part of the national economy so we are exposed to that risk, but I think we’re well-positioned and if we do go into a recession, I think we’re in a good position.”

Utah has been in a “good position” for several years now. Spendlove cited some U.S. News & World Report rankings showing Utah as the best state overall, topics in fiscal stability and the economy. Its population continues to grow, fueled by in-migration.

It’s second among states with positive job growth since before the COVID pandemic, and its unemployment rate of 2.8 percent remains low. Utah also has seen its labor participation rate increase.

However, housing affordability remains a bugaboo.

relative to household income sits at 6.2 but should be about 3, he said.

“What this is saying is, housing is too unaffordable in Utah,” Spendlove said. “Housing is very difficult, especially for low-income, especially for young families, people trying to get in. And how do you fix that? You essentially need to dramatically drop house prices, you need to dramatically increase income or you need to start thinking outside the box of what housing looks like. What we’re going to see is more multi-generational households, more multifamily households, and we’re going to have to start talking very seriously about thinking of different ways of what housing looks like in our communities.”

Prefacing Spendlove’s presentation, Scott Anderson, Zions Bank’s president and CEO, likewise had an overall positive outlook for Utah’s economy this year.

“As we head into 2024, our Utah economy remains strong and resilient,” Anderson said. “We continue to benefit from strong population growth and net in-migration, low unemployment and solid job growth. I’m confident that what we’ll see here in Utah will be a strong economy this year and that we’ll continue to thrive, even though other parts of the world and other parts of the U.S. economy may suffer a bit.”

Most of Spendlove’s remarks focused on the national economy, which he said is still being distorted by the effects of the COVID pandemic. That is leading to a lot of economic uncertainty for 2024, just as it affected 2023.

Last year, experts expected the economy to slow or contract, with a drop in GDP and employment demand.

“We saw a little bit of that, but the

Once the timer goes off, they will check out by picking the emotion they are currently feeling and head back to class.

“We have noticed good things with students that have used it,” said Christiansen. “We feel the students are recognizing when they need a break and help them regulate their emotions so they can refocus and work in school.”

economy ended up being very resilient and very strong,” he said. “We saw inflation has been coming down, employment has been improving, but people are still grumpy. That is one of the things that I hear all the time, is people say, ‘Well, you know, yes, things may be a little bit better, but they’re not the way they should be and they’re not the way they were before.’”

GDP in the third quarter actually jumped, with 4.9 percent growth, but Spendlove told the audience that that is not an accurate reflection of what is happening in the economy.

“I don’t think any of you think that the economy dramatically accelerated in the third quarter, but it’s some of those distortions from the pandemic that we have to be really careful about,” he said. “However, it’s very clear that we didn’t contract. In the third quarter, we didn’t contract in 2023, and this is a sign that the economy is much more resilient than we had expected in 2023.”

Still, the economy could enter a recession in the second or third quarters this year, but he believes it would be relatively mild “and we’ll move through pretty quickly.” The big question is whether any “black swan” events – huge, upsetting surprises – would shock the system and amplify volatility.

Nonetheless, consumer spending, which accounts for two-thirds of the economy, remains strong. Consumers “are all grumpy but you’re still spending,” he said.

“That has been another one of the big surprises, is even with consumers being grumpy – you all went out and bought your Black Friday gifts and you all went out and got holiday pres-

ents for everyone and it kept the economy going – but you still are grouchy.”

Spendlove foresees Federal Reserve interest rate cuts this year, inflation continuing to slow but remaining “sticky,” the labor market growing, unemployment increasing, the economy slowing but remaining broadly resilient, and international uncertainty and elections possibly adding to volatility.

Anderson likened the past three years to a roller coaster ride but added that the national economy in 2023 transitioned toward pre-pandemic norms. The Fed raised interest rates and tightened monetary policy, but the economy avoided a recession and remained resilient, he said.

The Fed now figures to lower rates, with the first reduction as early as the second quarter.

“And why would they do this? I believe that they looked at inflation and they saw that it had dropped dramatically from mid-2022 and where it fell from a 40-year high of more than 9 percent in June of 2022 to about 3 percent in November of 2023. But with food and energy prices coming down, getting to the Fed’s target of a 2 percent annual inflation rate could take some time. We’re not there yet.”

Higher interest rates and housing inflation colored consumer opinions about the economy in 2023, but recent consumer surveys have found that people are feeling more optimistic about 2024, he said.

“And this is important,” Anderson said, “as consumer sentiments can drive behaviors like spending and investments, often acting as a self-fulfilling prophecy.”l

ennan Thompson was born and raised in Cokeville Wyoming, where he is the youngest of six in his family. In high school, he played football, and basketball and ran track. He also was involved in the school’s musical, band, and show choir. He was the yearbook editor and did broadcasting.

“It’s a small school so I had to do everything,” Thompson commented.

After graduating from Cokeville High School, he attended Utah State University earning a bachelor of music, and music education with an emphasis in choral directing.

While doing his student teaching at North Cache Middle School, he taught choir, general music, musical theater, percussion, band, and guitar. He is currently in his second year teaching all the music classes at Mountain Green Middle School including ukulele, guitar, percussion, band, musical theatre, and choir.

“I became a teacher because I love helping students learn more about a subject that I love,” said Thompson. “It is fun for me to make music, as well as direct music. I grew up in a family that is all in the education system as well.”

Coaching and teaching are common in his family. He said he loves music and wants to share that with others. “I love seeing the students progress and connect with the music,” he commented. “When their faces light up after performing a song is what I love most.”

The dismal state of college by the numbers

By Braden Nelsen DAVIS COUNTY—It’s a common sentiment – “if only younger generations would just pull themselves up by their bootstraps, and do some hard work, they wouldn’t have to go into debt for college,” but is it accurate? The statement, which infuriates younger generations, and gratifies older generations can easily be explained by looking at the numbers.

Many saying things like this went to college during the mid-to-late 1970s and 1980s. The data in this article is collected from the median year of 1975 and uses the federal income tax rate from that year. A hypothetical situation: a person graduates from high school in June of 1975. This person is still living at home with their parents and wants to go to college.

So, this person finds a minimum wage job, which, in 1975, pays $1.35 an hour. If they work the usual 30 hours a week and have a bi-weekly pay period, after taxes they would be taking home somewhere around $70 per pay period, or around $490 for the whole summer.

Thank goodness they didn’t take any vacations or sick days though, because tuition and fees for a four-year public institution were hovering right around $432.

It was tough, and they had to make some sacrifices, but, working part time at a minimum-wage job, a person in 1975 would certainly have been able to make tuition, especially if they were living at home, not paying for food or rent. Ah, but, what if those numbers are adjusted for inflation? A dollar doesn’t go as far today as it did back then, after all.

Adjusted for 2023, the minimum wage would land around $7.72, not too far off from the current minimum

wage. This would mean a person working all summer with no breaks would earn around $2,803.28, not too shabby, considering the adjusted inflation rate for tuition and fees would be around $2,471.47. Seems like it would be extremely doable for a young person in 2023 to pay for college by themselves, right?

If only. The actual numbers reflect a much more dismal situation for young people going to college, especially for Gen-Z. At the actual minimum wage of $7.25, the end-of-summer take-home pay would be around $2,740.50. Not off to a great start, but still above the inflation-adjusted tuition, right? Unfortunately, the reality is a far cry, with local, in-state tuition coming in at a whopping $9,400 for a four-year university.

Looking around the state, other tuitions still fall well outside the range of simple inflation, coming in around the neighborhood of anywhere from $5,000$7,000. This has obliged many in younger generations to seek out student loans, which, in recent years, have become increasingly more and more predatory, and, unlike other financial obligations, are not forgiven with the declaration of bankruptcy.

The solution to this problem is no easy fix. There are many factors that have contributed to the meteoric rise in tuition, as compared with the tepid increase in minimum wage. One of the best solutions, and certainly most long-lasting would be empathy across the generations: the younger generation understanding that at one time, it was possible to pay for college with a summer job, and the older generation, many of whom are policymakers, understanding that is no longer the case.

Morgan to allow certain apartments in residential areas

By Linda Petersen

M

Vehicle fire prompts brief closure of I-84 From Morgan County Fire and EMS Facebook On the afternoon of Thursday Jan. 4, Morgan & Mountain Green Firefighters responded to a semi fire at the westbound rest area. It was reported that a blown tire caused the fire which then started to impede on the tanker trailer.

The trailer was loaded with approximately 7,400 gallons of butane. Out of an abundance of caution, UHP troopers shut down both East and Westbound lanes of I-84 while firefighters operated. I-84 was closed and re-routed for a brief period of time.

Morgan Fire Crews responded with an engine and helped supply Mountain Green Firefighters with water as well as aided in air and heat monitoring on the semi-trailer. There was no compromise of the butane trailer. All of the product will be offloaded to a new trailer as a precaution.

“As always, huge thanks to our re-

organ City will now allow a specific type of apartment in residential and agricultural zones in the city to comply with new state laws.

These apartments, known as Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU), fall into three categories; internal, attached, and detached. All three types must include a kitchen, bath facilities, sleeping quarters, and an entryway to the outside and have a permanent foundation. They must be approved through the city’s process (including fees to be paid) and will only be allowed on lots of 6,000 square feet or greater.

Internal ADUs must be part of the existing footprint of the home; attached garages are considered part of that footprint. Attached ADUs must be constructed directly or added as a part of the existing home. They must be fully enclosed including any connection to the primary structure. They are not permitted in a mobile home. Detached ADUs may be standalone or over detached garages but are not allowed on flag lots.

Property owners must live on-site in the main or secondary dwelling and must obtain a business permit to rent out the apartment which can be rented by no more than one family. The units cannot be sold separately or subdivided from

the main home or the lot. Utilities must be shared and separate utility meters are not allowed. The city will give the units a separate address (probably an A, B, or C designation on the primary address) but occupiers of the unit will need to have their mail delivered to a post office box.

None of the provisions of the new ordinance allow for motorhomes, fifthwheels, travel trailers, or other “housing units on wheels.”

“This will be a new ordinance for Morgan City,” City Planner Jake Young told the city council at their Dec. 12 meeting, “and it's something that we have had some residents come and ask us about. We've had requests for it – not a lot but quite a bit. This ordinance will provide further options for housing and something to think about is does it assist with housing affordability?”

“An ADU probably would rent for cheaper than a townhome or an entire home,” he said later. “So it does help with affordability on renting. It also helps with affordability for those who need it to get into a home and get going with having their own home.”

This change is being mandated by the state legislature which is seeking to provide more affordable housing options for Utahns. The planning commission and city council have been working for about a year on this new ordinance which became effective Dec. 12. l

Voice of Democracy and Patriots Pen essay winners L In the land of the free and the home of the brave ast week the Morgan County News reported the winners of the VFW’s Voice of Democracy and Patriot Pen Winners. Over the next few weeks, we will publish the winning essays starting

with the two first-place winners, Willa Anderton, the first-place winner of Voice of Democracy who now will move on to the state level, and McKenna Burby as the first-place winner of Patriots Pen. l

How I am Inspired by America America is full of inspiring people and places. But what inspires me the most are the principles America stands for. Here are three of my favorites.

The first principle that inspires me is freedom. Freedom means the power or right to act, speak, or think without restraint. Because of this principle, I am able to go to church where I want and worship how I want. Because I am free, I can say what I want and express my feelings. I can gather with my friends and my family wherever and whenever I like, and I can become whatever I want to become.

The second principle that inspires me is bravery. The meaning of bravery is courageous behavior or character. In America’s history, there have been lots of people who have showed great bravery. To me, the most brave and courageous people were the soldiers and volunteers that served in World War II. This totaled more than 16 million people. These people were brave enough to serve our country without knowing what would happen. They faced the horror of war and didn’t back down. These men and women inspire me to be brave in my life. Even though I don’t have to go to war with another country, there are times in my life where I need courage. Sometimes it (is) the courage to say no when I think something is wrong. Other times, it is the courage to be a friend to someone in need.

The third principle that inspires me is virtue. Another word for virtue is goodness, or righteousness. Throughout history, America has been an example of the good guy. America has defeated bad guys and gifted people up around the world and at home. One particular example is when Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves which resulted in the liberty of nearly 4 million people. This was the right thing (to) do. Because of this, I am inspired to do good things and to help other people in my life.

I am grateful that I live in this beautiful country with principles that inspire me to become a better person and make the world a better place.

ENROLLMENT OF MEMBERS NOW ON

Governor Dern says: “On several occasions, the State of Utah has found it necessary to appeal to the American Red Cross for assistance in relieving want and suffering within its boundaries. Never has this great organization failed to respond promptly and cheerfully. Its representatives have worked unceasingly to alleviate the distress which they have found.”

“Between Armistice Day and Thanksgiving of this year, the Red Cross will conduct its annual enrollment of members. The expenditures during the past fiscal year have exceeded revenues by nearly $3,000,000 and a hearty response to the membership campaign is needed as never before. I hope that the citizens of Utah will not hesitate to give as generously as possible to this great cause.”

This is the concept of fundamental freedoms and rights that are woven into the very fabric of the United States. Yet, in this modern age, it has become increasingly crucial to know whether these rights will allow us to remain at peace or if we are facing challenges that demand our attention.

Our democracy has many substantial attributes, but we as a nation are not taking the necessary steps to fulfill them. One main issue that we face in today’s society, that should have been solved decades ago, is allowing all persons their rights. We are all “humans.”

However, not all humans are being respected or have fundamental freedoms like gender inequality and racial bias. This is due to the lack of action the democracy is taking. But, we the people have the potential to change that.

Democracy has the ability to promote political participation, protect human rights, and ensure accountability, while also being able to adapt to the changes in society. It stands as a beacon of hope for the future. Democracy’s potential to create and manage peace lies in its emphasis on dialogue, negotiation, and the rule of law to solve disputes. Our democracy is a dynamic and powerful system of government with immense potential. It thrives on political participation, protects human rights, demands accountability, and adapts to the evolving needs of society.

In this complex world, the principles of democracy can guide us toward a brighter future. The potential of our democracy lies not only in the principles it needs to uphold but also in its ability to inspire positive change and progress. As we begin to face challenges in the future, our democracy could remain a source of hope, offering a path towards a more just and peaceful world.

Although our democracy has the ability to be great, the reality of where our government and we as a nation stand today is much different than how we might imagine it in our minds.

Fundamental freedoms are basic political liberties required in a democracy. While the United States may be known for its commitment to fundamental freedoms and rights, there have been historical instances where American citizens have faced challenges in exercising these rights. The Civil Rights Movement, the Japanese American Internment, LTBTQ+ Rights, Voter Suppression, Freedom of the Press, and Indigenous Rights, to name a few.

In every one of these events, American Citizens were discriminated against and/or stripped of their rights. It’s important to note that the U.S. legal system and society have evolved over time to address many of these issues, but challenges persist in ensuring the full realization of fundamental freedoms and rights for all citizens.

The First Amendment, written on the Bill of Rights, allows any individual their rights to freedom of speech, religion, press, assembly, and petition. The First Amendment is neither “left or right.” It can be used to push for social and political change or to oppose change. The First Amendment is for everyone. In general, this allows an individual to act, think, or do without government interference. Our government is not the same as it was when our Founding Fathers first established the Constitution. Today, many Americans, especially people of different cultures, races, sexualities, gender, ethnicities, and religions, are not experiencing these “freedoms” or “rights.”

We must tell ourselves, are we holding the government and ourselves responsible for the breaking of the rules established so long ago?

Can we even fix what we have already done?

Should we stay comfortably where we are or take a step forward and create a better future for everyone?

It is our collective responsibility to ensure that our democracy remains strong, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of our society.

How can we do that when people aren’t being given the rights they deserve?

Democracies thrive when citizens participate. To enhance our democracy we must expand our rights to everyone, regardless of their background or circumstances. Our democracy is a living institution, and it requires our constant vigilance and effort to improve and strengthen it. We must work together to create inclusivity and accountability in our society.

Only through a collective effort can we fulfill the promise of fundamental freedoms and rights for every American, and in doing so, continue to strengthen the ideals on which our great nation was founded.

Thank you.

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: When is “Stranger Things” coming back? I feel like we’ve been waiting forever.

A: I don’t want to dismiss your feelings of longing, but by “Stranger Things” standards, we actually haven’t been waiting that long. The fourth season debuted in July 2022 — just over a year and a half ago.

Whereas the break between the third and fourth seasons, for example, lasted

nearly three years. And the gap between the second and third was nearly two.

Sadly, it seems that history will repeat itself. The fifth reportedly just started shooting this month, and it’s not expected to debut until sometime in 2025.

Assuming another summer release date, the wait between the fourth and fifth seasons will be three years again.

The delay has a lot to do with the scale of the upcoming season, which will also be the show’s last one. It promises to be a lush, effects-heavy spectacle, and those take time to produce.

“It’s major, major cinematic storytelling that happens to be called a TV series,” executive producer and director Shawn Levy told Total Film magazine. “’Stranger Things’ 5 is as big as any of the biggest movies that we see.”

But the delay is also due to the strikes

that rocked the whole screen industry.

Deadline.com reports that they were ready to go into production last spring when the writers’ and actors’ strikes hit.

A: For those who haven’t heard, the At the time that one was shooting, long-running CBS cop show, “Blue Variety magazine reported that there was Bloods,” will end after its upcoming 14th another script ready to shoot as well. season.

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Never count out Jason Priestley — as an actor, a director or both.

The “Beverly Hills, 90210” alumnus tends to resurface in series television when it’s not expected, and he’s doing that again in the new show “Wild Cards,” airing Wednesdays on the CW. He plays the incarcerated veteran-con-artist father of another swindler (Vanessa Morgan, “Riverdale”) who has teamed with a disgraced police detective (Giacomo Giannotti, “Grey’s Anatomy”) to merge their special talents for crime-solving.

Priestley’s character is concerned about his daughter’s new arrangement, but that doesn’t keep him from giving her advice and help from behind prison bars when she needs it.

The new role lets Priestley incorporate the wry humor for which he’s been known ever since he played Brandon Walsh in “90210,” with that role allowing him to combine an earnestness with a mildly sarcastic take on the world. The part gave Priestley a decade-long run (19902000), before he played a variation of himself in “BH90210,” which had a brief run in the summer of 2019 and also featured the other principal members of the original cast in spins on their real-life images.

In Priestley’s case, his “BH90210” doppelganger was also a director, and that’s a job he started doing during his original “90210” days, ultimately helming 15 episodes of that show. He went on to direct installments of “Call Me Fitz,” “Private Eyes” and “Raising Expectations,” in which he also starred. Additionally, he called the shots in stints on such series as “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” “Haven,” “The Night Shift,” “Rookie Blue,” “Saving Hope” and “Van Helsing.”
