Journals THE CITY

Hikers complain about bikers. Mountain bikers grumble about motorcycles. Horse riders complain about cyclists. Non-motorized cyclists grouse about e-bikes. Everyone gripes about dog poop and manure on trails.

Rules exist to ensure that all trail lovers have positive experiences on Bountiful’s multi-use trails. Basic etiquette covers the gray areas. But there will always be rule breakers and impolite trail users.

What are the issues recreational users face on the city’s multi-use trails and what can be done to resolve them?

“I’ve heard there are complaints about e-bikes being able to go so much faster than non-motorized bikes, which increases the risk of running into each other going up or downhill,” said Todd Christensen, assistant Bountiful City engineer who also works with the city’s trail system.

The city has no intention to ban e-bikes from the trails, however, because as Christensen says, “Even motorcycles and horses are allowed on our trails.”

What the city is trying to do with its master plan is create more trail options so there are fewer opportunities for conflicts with many more miles of trails. It is also incorporating some directional or bike-only single-use trails, according to Christensen.

Other trail challenges are cyclists flying downhill around blind curves without warning bells and running into hikers, or more commonly, simply frightening them or causing them to leap off the trail.

Motorcycles cause the opposite problem by disturbing the peace with noisy engines and creating fumes. Even hikers can disturb the peace with music blaring from their backpacks. Horse riders say motorcycles and cyclists make their horses skittish. In turn, the list of complaints about equestrians includes their intimidating size and manure left on the trail. And no one appre-

LITTLE-KNOWN FAMILY FRIENDLY HIKE IN MUELLER PARK CANYON

In recent years, there has been a flurry of new trail building in the Bountiful and North Salt Lake mountains. These trails bring to view hidden gems that were always there but unknown because of the difficulty of traveling the unmarked deer trails to access them. One such gem is a short, family-friendly hike featuring a moss-covered spring in Mueller Park Canyon at the top of 1800 South in Bountiful. It’s about 1.5 miles from the park entrance.

Once 1800 South crosses Bountiful Blvd, it becomes Mueller Park Rd. A good starting point for the hike is the small parking lot next to a bridge over Mill Creek and the gate to the picnic area. Since the additional trails have been created, walkers are allowed to walk up the road to access the additional scenic trails in the canyon. One of the purposes of all the trail building is to take pressure off the ever-popular Elephant Rock trail that begins across the bridge. On high-traffic days, parking can extend down Mueller Park Road on the sides.

The hike begins by continuing on the road beyond the gate. Shortly, hikers pass the Kenny Creek trailhead on the

ciates the dog owner who blithely ignores Fido’s waste or lets her dog off-leash.

“Maybe when you know better, you do better,” Kate Bradshaw, Bountiful City Councilmember and avid biker and hiker, said. “I like people to get outside. But how we share our resources can sometimes be a challenge.”

She advocates better education about trail usage – something the Bountiful City Trail Advisory Committee is in the process of doing. A short video about trail user etiquette will soon be released on social media channels and on the committee’s website www.bountifulutah.gov/trails.

In terms of specific rules, signs posted on the city’s multi-use trails indicate that all users yield to horses. Bikers yield to hikers. As a matter of practicality, downhill bikers yield to uphill bikers, or whoever has the easier path yields to the harder. Motorcyclists yield to everyone – both up and downhill.

Beyond the simple rules, basic etiquette should prevail.

“We encourage common sense and courtesy,” said Melanie Ogden-Larsen, longtime member of the Bountiful Trail Advisory Committee and one of the creators of the video along with Lindsay Wing. “In the video, we say, ‘It’s simple: It comes down to be nice. Say hi.’”

Bells on bikes fall into the “Be nice” category. Adding a bell to her bike was a later-in-life decision, said Bradshaw. “It just seemed like an easy thing I could do to be courteous. I actually have two bells: One dings continually and the other I purposefully ring as needed.”

Bikers who choose not to use bells can call out verbal cues. Hikers could do the same on blind curves to alert bikers.

“Say thank you when someone yields,” said Bradshaw. “Alert other users to snakes on the trail. Help

left and the picnic grounds on the right.

The upper portion of the picnic area contains a large, rock gazebo which is about a half a mile into the hike. Continue walking a short distance until the paved road ends at the water treatment plant. Cross the wooden footbridge across Mill Creek on the right.

The last section of the hike is up winding trails through the towering firs, maples, brush and flowers. Fir trees can be seen along the way whose trunks exceed three feet in diameter suggesting that they are more than 100 years old. The larger creek as well as a few smaller creeks can be heard along the trail. The trail is on the north-facing side of the mountain so snow can linger in patches as spring progresses. A walking stick might be helpful though the trail

Bountiful City Council passed Ordinance #483-24 on April 16 –signifying the start of the South Davis Sewer District’s 12.66-acre annexation.

Making updates to their 65-year-old facility, the entity plans to increase their capabilities and future-proof their operations with the acquired space.

“We think in probably 20 years or so, maybe, hopefully, longer, we’ll probably face more stringent standards or we will also be facing the end of use life for some of our current operating assets,” Matt Myer, general manager

for the South Davis Sewer District said.

“The regulators, [the] Division of Water Quality, they enforce the Clean Water Act here, which is a strict liability statute which means there’s no excuse for not meeting your permitted numbers, and so they would fully expect us to be able to construct a new plant while operating the existing plant and then flop over once the new plant’s constructed.”

Though the space has been acquired, some residential land poses limitations to current development possibil-

Bountiful second-graders break world record

Marilee Hullinger, a Second-grade teacher at Hannah Holbrook was amused by her students in January as they worked off their indoor recess by linking classroom counting cubes and thinking they had the world’s record for the longest line of Unifix cubes. Seeing an opportunity, she challenged them to find out what the real record was. After some research, the students discovered the Guinness World Record was 90,750 cubes for a length of 1 mile, 275 feet in 90 minutes on the Huckleberry Trail in Blacksburg, Virginia. As the Secondgrade students researched the possibility of creating their own world record they put together a business plan and sent it to Didax, the company that makes the Unifix cubes.

The Second-graders met on Zoom with Linda Andries head of Sales and Marketing at Didax. “It was the most impressive presentation I have ever seen,” she said. “ They had their signs, they had their facts, their measurement team, their procurement team, and a team to return the cubes.” However, Andries suggested once the record was broken the cubes could be donated to under-privileged kids and learning centers. On Saturday morning, April 27th, Hullinger’s Second-grade class broke the world’s record in 55 minutes with over 94,000 Unifix cubes. l

Golden Spoke Bike Ride celebrates Utah’s interconnected trails

Utah has the longest sections of consecutive bike lanes not shared with motorists west of the Mississippi. The 170 miles of trails extend from Ogden to Provo and include the Weber River Parkway Trail, the Legacy Parkway Trail, the Rio Grande Western Rail Trail and the Jordan River Parkway among others. The Golden Spoke Bike Ride celebrates those interconnected trails and will be held May 11. Hugh Van Wagenen, of the Wasatch Front Regional Council, said he is excited that the race is in its seventh year and is celebrating two new connections, the Parley’s Trail up to Millcreek and Crosstown Trail extending into West Valley City. The bridge connecting these trails was recently finished. The trails traverse all of Davis County and one of the 50-mile bike rides outlined for the event will start at the High Adventure Park in Ogden (251 W. 18th Street) and end in the Jordan River Nature Center in South Salt Lake traversing Layton, Farmington, Centerville, West Bountiful, Wood Cross and North Salt Lake. Another 50-mile option begins in Riverside Park in Provo (1260 West 600 North), once again ending at the Nature Center. Rest Stops 25 miles into each bike ride in Farmington and Lehi can also act as jumping off spots for people wanting to shorten their ride to 25 miles. An Additional 10-mile option will begin

at Millcreek Grandeur Peak Trailhead (2900 Wasatch Blvd.) and follows the newly connected section of trail to the Nature Center. Two short, family friendly loops will occur at the Tracy Aviary Jordan River Nature Center (1125 W. 3300 South). The 50-mile ride begins at 8:30 a.m., the 25-mile at 10 a.m., the 10-mile at 11:30 a.m. and the shorter loops at noon. Eventually, all the riders will find their way to the Nature Center for food

trucks, vendors, music and participant giveaways. One giveaway available to all riders is a free UTA pass back to where participants parked their cars.

Places to safely cycle in Davis County and beyond are treasures and the Golden Spoke celebrates this ever-growing network of trails. May is Bike Month and the perfect time to get out in nature and enjoy the spring weather. All the information on the Golden Spoke Bike Ride including the free registration can be found at jordanrivercommission.com. A few years ago, the bike ride was also part of a Golden Spike celebration in Ogden, though the route does not go to the Golden Spike location. Van Wagenen helps plan the Golden Spoke ride each year and explains that the “Spokes” the race is named for brings to mind a bike wheel with the spoke coming out of the center representing the many cities that are part of the valuable system of bike trails. Van Wagenen suggests just coming to The Nature Center from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. for the festivities, even if you don’t ride a trail to get there. The celebration “lets folks know” of the “gorgeous” parks and trails available to the communities, he said. The Golden Spoke Bike Ride will continue yearly on the second Saturday in May. l

Bountiful thrift shop offers eclectic array of preloved goods

In the heart of Bountiful lies a bustling hotspot that’s become a magnet for bargain hunters and sustainability enthusiasts alike. Affordable Thrift and Surplus at 2110 Orchard Dr., draws in tons of eager shoppers in search of hidden gems. Hailey Hobson, one of the thrift shop workers, proudly acknowledges the store’s meteoric rise in popularity, attributing it to the growing trend of thrifting in today’s society.

“The owner’s mission when creating the store was to give everything a second chance,” said Hobson. This philosophy comes through in every aspect of Affordable Thrift and Surplus, from its eclectic array of preloved goods to its warm and inviting atmosphere.

Opened just over a year ago, the shop has quickly become a cornerstone of the community, reflecting the increasing popularity of thrifting as a sustainable and budget-friendly shopping option. Hobson said the store’s mission resonates deeply with customers, many of whom are drawn to its unique mix of vintage treasures and everyday essentials.

Amidst the racks of clothing and shelves stocked with household wares, it’s clear that thrifting has evolved from

a niche activity into a mainstream phenomenon. With social media influencers and sustainability advocates championing the benefits of thrifting, more and more people are embracing the idea of repurposing and recycling instead of buying new.

For Hobson and her colleagues, the surge in popularity has brought a renewed sense of purpose to their work. They see themselves not just as retail workers, but as ambassadors of a movement – one that promotes conscious consumerism and environmental responsibility.

Indeed, sustainability lies at the heart of the thrifting revolution. By giving pre-loved items a second lease on life, thrift stores like Affordable Thrift and Surplus help to reduce waste and minimize the environmental footprint of consumerism. From clothing and accessories to furniture and household goods, every item in the store has a story to tell – a story of renewal and possibility.

As customers flock to the store, they are greeted not only by a treasure trove of affordable finds but also by a sense of community. Thrifting has a way of bringing people together, whether they’re sharing stories of their latest

Woods Cross still unbeaten in girls lacrosse

There are just two weeks left in the regular season for high school lacrosse, and teams are jockeying for position before playoffs begin. Last week, the Bountiful boys team and the Woods Cross girls team won both of their matches. Here’s a look at games played through April 26 GIRLS

Davis Tech sets students on the pathway to success

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—Graduation is around the corner and some students have already laid out a plan for either work or college but a four year degree at a university isn’t for everyone. Davis Technical College (Davis Tech) has multiple programs that can get students on the path to a career or give them credits that can be transferred to a four year institution.

“It’s very affordable,” said Lance Eastman, Associate Vice President of Training Division at Davis Tech. “It’s $40 a year plus books and supplies for high school students. That’s exceptional. They can start here and in the process change the courses to credit for a public university.”

Snow College accepts Davis Tech’s programs to put those credits toward an associate degree, he said. “They can go there or there is an option to take classes online. It varies by program so check with Snow or other receiving institutions for what they accept.”

There has been a push for public institutions to align their courses with tech courses so students can transfer those credits, said Eastman. “Davis Tech has pathways to Weber State. A student in our diesel heavy duty program can receive up to 28 credits at Weber toward an associate degree in their program. High schoolers can take courses for a low cost and potentially transfer up.”

Eastman said there is a statewide mandate now that technical colleges shift from

clock hours to credit. “That helps align our curriculum so students can transfer the same course at Davis Tech to Weber State and it will have the same name and number so they can give the credits. That way students don’t have to duplicate credits.”

The majority of students who come to Davis Tech are looking to get out and start a career they’re trained in, he said. “Employers are here all the time. It’s a great time to have a trade. Technical skills can lead to many opportunities. It's not a dead end job, they can do very well. This is a starting point.”

The faculty cares about people, said Eastman. “They want them to be successful. There is a certain level of competency they require to get someone trained in that industry. Industries want competent employees.”

The goal is to help people get out and work, he said. “That benefits the whole economy and spurs growth. Society grows in general which helps the economy grow.”

Eastman said the most popular programs at Davis Tech are practical nursing, welding, information technology, cyber security and electrical apprenticeship. “Those are some of our biggest. Plumbing and electrical are our longest programs at four years to complete an apprenticeship but they’re already employed and coming two nights a week to work on their apprenticeship. It’s booming – between both there are close to 600 students.”

Davis Tech also offers a scholarship program, he said. “If a senior enrolls in one of our classes and stays in it they basically have a year scholarship.They can apply for the scholarship and FAFSA and they should realistically be able to finish the program at almost no cost. Even if they don’t get FAFSA we’re going to give them a scholarship for up to a year. We’ve

Start saving for college now with my529 plan

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

College is expensive. Most parents are trying to figure out how they’re going to pay for it after their child leaves high school. A my529 savings plan could help ease some of that burden. It offers a way for parents to save for their child’s future without being hit with taxes when they draw it out as long as it is used for qualified educational expenses.

“It’s an important piece to a family’s overall financial plan to save for college,” said Richard Ellis, my529 Executive Director and CEO. “By saving at an early age, it teaches children the value of money and that you don’t just get it by osmosis.” Start young with an allowance and talk about what it costs to go to college, he said. “Show them there are options to go to a trade school or get a four year degree. Prepare the path from preschool to high school and beyond and help them understand how to get there, my529 is part of that planning.”

It’s one of only two gold rated plans in the country, said Ellis. “It’s a good investment option. You can decide what you want your risk tolerance to be and adjust it as your child gets older.”

There are no minimum requirements of what has to be put into the account, he said. “It’s whatever works for your family. It’s that much less you have to borrow or get a loan for, that’s why it’s important to start as early as possible to allow for growth and build those funds. The more you put it off the less you’ll have. You should start when they’re a baby.”

Account holders must be 18 or older, Ellis said. “You can open an account online (my529.org) or get a form from the website and mail it in. You’ll need your Social Security number and the beneficiary’s Social Security number too and have an address in the U.S.”

Ellis said the website also has investment options. “You can see the break out and select the investments you want. You can make an initial contribution and then have it come out monthly from your pay (before taxes).”

Friends and family can also contribute, he said. “They can gift it to that account. My family has already gone through the first generation. They’ve all graduated so I rolled it over and changed the beneficiary to my grandson.”

There’s an online form to fill out to change the beneficiary, Ellis said. “It has to go to a family member. It can be a niece or a nephew – there’s a broad definition.”

College and its alternatives – by

By Braden Nelsen | Braden.n@mycityjournals.com

UTAH—Many in Gen X, the Millennial generation, and Gen Z were all told in their elementary school years that college was necessary to secure decent employment. It was painted that, if these young people went to college, they would be granted a ticket to the American Dream – steady income, good benefits, their own home with a picket fence, the works. However, reality has proven a different scenario, and many Millennials and Gen Z are finding alternative paths to try and secure their futures. According to data from Forbes, 76% of college graduates held a job in 2021, proving that there is some truth to the guidance to get a degree. However, the average income for those holding a bachelor’s degree hovered around $59,600. While that may sound like a decent income, the numbers behind that total reflect a much more trying state of affairs for college graduates in the 2020s. For starters, let’s take a look at student loan debt.

Student loans in the modern era are in dire need of reform. Predatory, and in many cases, necessary for a degree, student loans thrust thousands of students into a cycle of debt at a very young age,

setting them off into adulthood in a condition all economists say they should avoid.

A report from the Education Data Initiative shared that 64% of students pursuing their bachelor’s have some form of student loan debt and that on average, that debt falls in the neighborhood of $40-$60,000.

Many students, out of necessity, will opt for the lowest allowed monthly payment, but, monthly payments still take a toll. Crunching the numbers gives us a much different look at the income of someone with a bachelor’s degree. In Utah, if someone was to make $59,600 annually, after state and federal taxes, their takehome pay would come to about $1,954 each month. Still, not too shabby, but, diving deeper, the picture gets a little more dire. Studies show that groceries in Utah will generally set a person back about $260 per month. Many Millennials and Gen Z can’t afford to buy their own house, so, they are likely renting. The data differs, but the general consensus is that rent along the Wasatch Front falls around $1,200 a month, on the low end of things. Add on a monthly utility bill of around $300, and a

had a lot of students take advantage of that.” Davis Tech has a little more than 6,000 students a year, said Eastman. “Our parking lot gets fuller by the day. We’ve seen some tremendous growth. We’re grateful for everything we have here at the school.”

Davis Tech’s main campus is located at 550 E. 300 South in Kaysville.l

Ellis said there’s a new option to roll it over into a ROTH. “The limit is $7,000 a year with a $35,000 maximum as long as they have the income to contribute.”

The funds for a my529 account don’t have to be used at a Utah school, he said. “Any eligible institution that qualifies for student aid. It’s not just for four year institutions. It can be a two year college or applied technology centers like Davis Tech. There are a lot of opportunities. College is not for everyone. This is flexible to meet all of those needs.”

Qualified education expenses are more than just tuition, said Ellis. “It can be for fees, books and supplies, room and board, a computer or internet service, etc. There are a lot of expenses. A scholarship doesn’t always cover everything.”

Ellis said my529 has 500,000 accounts. “We have account owners in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. It’s amazing to watch it grow. We must have done something right.” Start saving now, he said. “You’ll have more time on your side so that it can grow over the course of 18 years.

miscellaneous fund for medicine, gas, and other expenses of around $200, and the average bachelor's degree holder in Utah is looking at a monthly cost of $1,960.

No wonder so many in these generations feel like they’re barely getting by. Sure, getting a master’s also increases the chance of getting a higher-paying job, but, there’s no guarantee, except the guarantee of more student loan debt. So, what are the alternatives that these generations are exploring? There are a handful, all with their own risks, but two prominent options rise to the top.

In 2021, ECMC research said that 61% of Gen Z polled said they were considering a “skill-based” education, rather than a traditional college degree. This includes things like coding, nursing school, cosmetology/barbering, and trade schools. These industries are constantly in demand, pay well, and offer the opportunity for students to enter the workforce directly. ZipRecruiter shows that as of 2024, trade school graduates earn an average of $67,000 a year, and often, have the opportunity for growth from that point.

The other option, which a skill-based

education can provide, is opening a business for themselves. Forbes shows a majority of both Millennials and Gen Z favor this option over a traditional desk job, and many have gambled it all on the prospect. Small business loans do incur some debt, but, with the right idea, a business owner can immediately begin paying off that debt, as opposed to a full-time student who would be hard-pressed to find a job that fits with their schedule, and pays enough to offset their debt.

It’s impossible to tell what the future holds, but, if current trends continue, who knows? Perhaps future generations will let college and university degrees fall by the wayside as they pursue other options for income. After a time, college may become so inexpensive again that it becomes a possibility once more for the masses, and the tennis match between degrees and certifications will begin again.

Señor Pollo and Comcast Business partner as restaurant expands

When Jesus Ruiz and his wife, Dulce, opened their first Señor Pollo location in Ogden in 2018, they knew they were onto something special. Ruiz is from Michoacán, a state in Mexico, but was raised in Utah. He introduced his secret family recipe for Sinaloa-style grilled chicken to patrons at his Señor Pollo restaurant and it quickly became a local favorite.

Since 2018, Ruiz has expanded his business to include nine restaurants, with more expected to open this year. Now fully franchised, Señor Pollo will soon open its first location out of the state in New York. He expects his award-winning restaurant to be a national brand soon, offering his fire-grilled chicken to even more consumers.

“Our challenge is consistency,” Ruiz said. “The biggest problem is training employees. We expect them to be very friendly to everybody. We’re trying to get all our staff to offer great customer service. One of our main goals is for every customer to leave satisfied and happy.”

As his business grows, Ruiz needs a reliable internet connection, not only to create a good customer experience but to communicate effectively with franchise owners. After having troubles with his previous internet provider, Ruiz turned to Comcast Business and has worked with the company for several years.

Comcast Business helped Ruiz streamline his communication channels and create a reliable point-of-sale system to give customers an easy way to pay for their chicken plates, ta-

cos, nachos and tamales.

“I was paying too much for internet services, so I shopped around, talked to a Comcast representative, and we went from there,” he said. “They provide internet and phone service. We don’t have problems with our TV services or problems with our point of sale. We have no problem connecting our equipment. They make it easy.”

Comcast Business works with companies of all sizes to create a strong network. As businesses grow, products and ser-

vices grow too, including the need for better cybersecurity, unified communications, reliable connectivity and IT assistance.

Because each organization is different, Comcast Business can design, build, implement and manage a custom solution for each industry. Whether it’s a custom app for a restaurant, for easy ordering and delivery, or a transformative online presence for a unique shopping experience, a Comcast representative can help create the best system.

“Señor Pollo has been using our Comcast Business Internet and Mobility lines, which offer the fastest, reliable network and fiber solutions, for each of their locations,” said Tomas Cid, Comcast sales representative. “Beyond providing internet speeds up to 10 gigs, having our Connection Pro service gives Jesus peace of mind that he will always have data to service his customers.”

When unexpected disruptions happen, Connection Pro helps keep a business internet service seamlessly connected for up to 16 hours with powerful 4G LTE backup, which becomes more critical when businesses grow as Señor Pollo has seen.

“Working with Jesus has been great because on every location that we provide service, we’ve overcome different challenges, such as construction, installation scheduling, and transferring phone numbers from other carriers,” Cid said. “Together, we work out the details so he has the fastest, most reliable internet and mobile service all the time.”l

According to Myer, the two homes located on the sewer district’s property were purchased by the entity roughly two decades ago with a life estate agreement – which allowed the tenants to sell their home at market value but maintain the option to reside in the property as long as they’d like.

According to Myer, the changes that will affect these residents will be an increase in truck construction as well as potential electrical disruptions during construction.

As for West Bountiful residents outside of the sewer district’s property, Myers says that the most prominent changes affecting citizens will be added traffic on Frontage Road and rate increases.

Myer said that the sewer district is in a bidding phase right now and that the project is likely to be awarded by May 16. l

Third-ranked

Bountiful swept Bonneville and defeated Viewmont in four sets this week to stay undefeated through 11 Region 5 matches. Farmington pulled out a tight five-set match against Davis before defeating Fremont in four sets to win both of its Region 1 matches. Viewmont and Woods Cross went 3-4 this week while Davis was winless in both of its region games.

Bountiful

The Redhawks beat Bonneville 2512, 25-7, 25-13 April 23 behind 10 kills from Landon Chism and nine from Aidan Sanford. Kainoa Evans served up five of the team’s 13 aces and ran the offense, recording 28 assists. Defensively, Connor Burleson had 11 digs while Vicente Perez added nine from the back line.

Against Viewmont April 25, the Redhawks won 26-24, 25-21, 22-25, 25-23.

At the Sky View Invitational April 2627, Bountiful defeated Sky View 25-16, 25-17, 24-26, 25-13 Park City 25-14, 2516, 25-23, and Farmington 25-11, 25-15 while losing to Copper Hills 19-25, 21-25 and Orem 27-29, 22-25.

The Redhawks are now 18-6 overall this season and 11-0 in Region 5 play.

Farmington

Farmington beat Davis 25-18, 19-25, 20-25, 25-18, 13-15 April 23. Dyland Borland put away 19 kills to lead the Darts while Jake Connell had 17. Connell completed a double-double, adding 16 digs. Brayden Peck ran the offense with 34 assists while Connell and Pearce Eliason both recorded two aces each from the serving line. Defensively, Tavin Fulton led with 21 digs while Tucker Blackham added 11 and Ashton Scholz and Borland had eight and five blocks at the net, respectively.

“We emerged victorious, showcasing a stellar defensive performance and unwavering attacking consistency,” said head coach Fermin Soriano Bautista. “Our solid defense, anchored by a disciplined back-

line and led by a standout libero, thwarted their offensive attempts. Their cohesive attacking game kept the pressure on throughout the match. Despite fierce competition, our resilience and focus proved decisive, securing a hard-fought win and reaffirming their status as a dominant force in boys volleyball.”

Against Fremont April 25, the Phoenix squad won 25-11, 25-18, 22-25, 25-22. Borland and Scholz had nine kills each with Connell adding eight. Eliason had four aces while Connell and Peck combined for six more and Peck recorded 20 assists in running the offense. On the defensive side, Peck’s 11 digs made another double-double for the sophomore setter this week while sophomore setter Charlie Evans also had 12 assists. Fulton led Farmington defensively with 14 digs.

The Phoenix team is now 11-6 overall and 6-1 in Region 1 play.

Viewmont

Viewmont defeated Northridge 25-17, 25-14, 25-15 April 23.

“The match was great for our players,” said head coach Karl Lippa. “Everyone contributed with playing in the match. Northridge started with strong play and forced us to tighten up our passing and defense. Once we did that, I feel we ran the offense well. As the match went on, both teams showed some scrappy defense and good plays.”

In the Vikings’ four-set loss to Bountiful April 25, Lippa described the atmosphere as “electric.” “The energy in the gym was awesome with impressive attacks, big blocks, and stellar defense by both teams,” he said. “The rallies were strong with the level of play truly representing the teams currently standing at first and second in the region. Coach Chism and I both agreed that the fans were given a real treat to watch. She said, ‘I love that for fans to see, and maybe we will get more athletes to take a chance and give something new a try!’”

At the Spanish Fork Tournament April 26-27, Viewmont defeated Skyline 2-0 and Spanish Fork 3-0 while losing to Timpanogos 3-2, Cedar Valley 2-1, and Alta 3-0.

“We had tremendous competition this weekend which was excellent,” Lippa said. “I am proud of some of our younger players stepping up to fill in key roles due to injury and Prom. I felt we grew this weekend through many different learning experiences. I have been pleased with

our defense, and after watching some film from the weekend, I see many skills I want us to focus on as we gear up for the end of the regular season moving into the postseason.”

The Vikings are now 14-10 this season with a 9-2 showing in Region 5.

Davis

In Davis’ five-set loss to Farmington April 23, Chase Valentine had a double-double with 16 kills and 19 digs. Jackson Kuma added 10 kills for the offense and Luke McKnight recorded 19 digs on the back line.

Against Syracuse April 25, the Darts lost 15-25, 20-25, 25-19, 25-20, 15-13. Valentine led Davis with another double-double of 14 kills and 25 digs while McKnight also put away 13 kills and had 25 digs. Jack Bennet ran the offense with 19 assists and was tops defensively with 29 digs.

The Darts fell to 11-4 this season and 4-2 in Region 1.

Woods Cross Woods Cross lost in five sets to Clearfield 18-25, 25-22, 25-17, 14-15, 10-15 April 23.

RJ Violette was the player of the match, according to head coach Josey Hilton, with his “intensity and aggressiveness” that resulted in 10 kills – hitting a .0471 – and three blocks. She also noted Khang Tran’s 2.4 passing rating while leading the team in kills with 18.

“Headed into the second half of the season, we are seeing huge improvements from both teams, so it is like playing a whole new team again,” Hilton said. “Clearfield came out aggressive and we struggled in the first set finding our timing and rhythm. In the second set, we are able to gain some momentum, winning the set and then carrying it over to the third set where RJ had a huge contribution. We weren’t able to sustain the momentum and lost our aggressiveness in the fourth set. Playing a team like Clearfield, in their gym, momentum and staying aggressiveness on both defense and offense are key. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to sustain that and made some mental, defensive, and hitting errors that ended up costing us the game.”

In the junior varsity match against the Falcons, the Wildcats won 25-17, 25-16, 9-15, 15-12. “Eli Bodell was the difference maker for us,” Hilton said. “He played one

of his most well-rounded matches of the season so far. His net play was huge for us today with a number of kills on offense and clutch monster blocks on defense. He then rounded out his play with several much-needed consistent serves.”

Woods Cross won the sophomore match against Clearfield 26-24, 19-25, 1511. “Tanner Woffinden was the player of the match for knowing how to have fun whether we win or lose,” Hilton said. “He had never played as an outside hitter before and he definitely delivered a great performance. This goes to show how versatile he is as an athlete. Although he made mistakes just like every player, he did not let this affect him and instead, smiled through all of them. Tanner just started playing volleyball and he’s developing to be the athlete who thinks before making a play with intention. He is a coachable player and is always receptive to feedback.”

Against Bonneville April 25, the Wildcats swept the Lakers 25-7, 25-23, 25-18.

“We started strong and aggressive and it showed with the result of the first set,” said Hilton. “We tried some different lineups throughout the rest of the match, working on some different defensive and offensive strategies. This was definitely a collective team effort with everyone doing their job and staying mindful of their role and what they needed to accomplish in order to get the job done.”

John Lockwood Smoot had a 2.5 passer rating, “helping us to stay in system and allowing our settings to do their job,” according to Hilton. Clayton Schmitt ran the offense with 18 assists while Cole Howard and Tran recorded eight kills each and Hayden Poulton added seven. Tran and Dallin Olsen also teamed up for 31 digs with RJ Violette also showing up defensively with three blocks at the net.

In the JV match with Bonneville, Woods Cross won 25-20, 25-12, 11-15, 15-8.

“Olsen played high-level volleyball at the libero position,” Hilton said. “His defensive presence was felt on the court, making several key plays when we needed him. His serve-receive play was also vital to our success. This was probably his most consistent match at libero since the season started. He could feel it, and the smile on his face showed he knew he was playing well.”

The sophomore team defeated the Lakers 25-21, 17-25, 15-13. “Sean Vanous is the player of the match for being brave and tackling new challenges like a champ,” Hilton said. “Sean had never played as a front-row player and he definitely delivered both offensively and defensively. Sean had a couple of impressive swings and made a big impact despite only playing as an outside hitter for one set. His attacks definitely energized the whole team which was a huge contributor in taking the first set. We’re excited to see Sean excel in volleyball and see him grow as an all-around player.”

Hilton also credited Bentley Murdock for “being a leader in the back row” and Sam Bahr for “his fighting spirit and high efficiency.”

At the Ogden Tournament April 2627, the Wildcats defeated Ogden 2-0 and Granger 3-0 while losing to Murray 2-0, Logan 2-0 and Ogden 3-0.

Woods Cross is 10-14 this season and 8-3 in Region 5. l

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison

TV Media

Q: Billy Bob Thornton has a band?

A: He does, and he’d love to talk about it, but not at the same time as his acting. Billy Bob Thornton (“Sling Blade,” 1996; “Monsters Ball,” 2001) is, as you point out, much better known for his screen career. Most know him for his acting, though he also won an Oscar back in 1997 for writing the screenplay of his indie character drama, “Sling Blade.” However, even less known is his other artistic pursuit: roots country music.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Thornton is the vocalist and drummer of The Boxmasters, a country-rock band he started in 2007. They’ve toured extensively over the years and released 14 albums.

In fact, in an interview with the Montreal Gazette in 2009, Thornton said he “never intended to become a movie star, it happened accidentally ... music is what I love.”

That Gazette interview was done to promote a Canadian tour, which proved to be controversial for Thornton and The Boxmasters. In another interview — a nationally broadcast appearance on CBC Radio — Thornton became what could politely be called “touchy” with the interviewer, and at one point, suggested that Canadian audiences were inferior to American ones. The band received a lot of boos for the rest of their Canadian dates.

Thornton explained his comments by saying he was frustrated at being asked about his film career in the interview when he explicitly told the producers he would only talk about his music.

Q: What’s Jim Rash been “Dean”ing since “Community”?

A: I see what you did there.

Dean Pelton, Jim Rash’s character on NBC’s cultishly beloved sitcom “Community,” had a recurring joke where he made a lot of puns out of the word “dean” — at one point he says being dean of the school is his “whole i-DEANtity.”

It’s by far Rash’s most famous role, but he’s been quite busy in the years since the show’s 2015 finale.

This includes developing a whole new i-DEAN-tity (sorry) as a voice actor. He’s

starred as The Marquess of Queensbury in the bizarro “Mike Tyson Mysteries,” and he took on a recurring role as Mayor Dave in HBO Max’s “Scooby-Doo” spinoff series, “Velma,” last year. He also voiced multiple characters on Disney XD’s late-2010s reboot of “DuckTales,” which reunited Rash with his “Community” co-star Danny Pudi (who played Abed).

If you’re hoping to actually see Rash on screen, he had a recurring role on the fifth season of ABC’s “American Housewife,” and had another on the short-lived 2017 Netflix sitcom “Girlboss.”
