‘JEKYLL & HYDE’ A CHILLING TALE OF GOOD AND EVIL

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

CENTERVILLE—Does anyone really know what is deep inside? Is there an evil side that fights against the good? Dr. Henry Jekyll considers that question in an effort to find a cure for his father who is suffering from mental illness.

Set in London in the 1800s, CenterPointe Legacy Theatre’s production of the Robert Louis Stevenson classic Jekyll & Hyde takes a more sinister turn as the brilliant scientist’s passion turns dark. Jekyll tries to convince the Board of Governors and other townsfolk that he can prove his theory if only he can just find a test subject. He is rebuffed by the board that does not believe his claims.

His fiancé, Emma Carew’s unwavering love and devotion spurs him on to find the answers. At a bachelor’s party before their wedding day, Jekyll meets Lucy Beaconsfield, a prostitute with a good heart. Although they are drawn to each other Jekyll does not succumb to her advances. However, Lucy is enamored by the doctor because of his gentle and caring manner toward her.

When Jekyll realizes he has no support for his experiment, he decides to test it on himself, resulting in a more dramatic transformation than he could ever imagine. The once good man whose only desire was to discover a treatment

CENTERVILLE STRUGGLES TO PAY FOR PROMISED PICKLEBALL COURTS

CENTERVILLE—City officials trying to provide pickleball courts for the many residents who love the sport are grappling with some unexpected problems in efforts to make that happen. They’ve been considering the issue for more than a year and finally after much discussion decided on Community Park (1350 North 400 West) for the location. They thought that $500,000 would be sufficient for the project but discovered that with the meteoric rise in construction costs over the last few years and the specialized concrete needed for the courts that figure is way off the mark.

G. Brown Design has been working on preliminary concept plans for the courts and came back with two options which the landscape architects’ representative Mike Wonenberg presented at the Sept. 19 council meeting. However, even the basic concept presented by G. Brown Design, at $1,508,600, is more than three times what city officials expected to pay. Another option which would include restrooms and a storage building would be more than four times what they have budgeted ($1,935,684). And these are just cost estimates at this point.

While several factors led the city council to choose Community Park, the site does have some deficits. A basin on the west side of the park will need to be filled in and graded and a 6-inch water main will need to be rerouted, Wonenberg said.

Besides the cost there’s another factor the city council has to consider with Community Park. UDOT has plans to widen I-15 in the area and

could possibly take some of the park’s west park

ing lot – something Centerville officials won’t find out for sure for probably three years. As it refines its plans it is looking less likely that UDOT will need to take any of the parking lot, but it is not impossible that agency could still need to do so, City Engineer Kevin Campbell told the council. Both plans anticipate that possibility with a new parking lot on the east side of the park. Also, any landscaping on the west side could be torn up if UDOT has to take footage.

In a prolonged discussion that night the council wrestled with these issues. Councilmember Gina Hirst expressed concern that if UDOT takes some of the property it would leave less green space for team sports.

“If we don’t know what UDOT is doing why are we doing the plan this way?” she asked. “If we don’t know how far they’re coming, how they’re impacting our parking lot, I don’t know if we real

ly want to be putting pickleball courts in because I’d like to see the green grass maximized in this park because every time I drive by it, which is several times a week, all of the areas where we’d put pickleball courts there are kids playing soccer [or] football.”

Mayor Clark Wilkinson agreed.

“Given how UDOT has changed plans on the off ramp and 400 West and Marketplace, they could flip and be coming in and tearing out courts too,” he said.

Farmington’s Active Aging program empowers seniors

A fter Ron Harris retired, he would walk his dog every morning and watch people playing pickleball. But it took him two years to find the courage to play the game. Harris has lived in Farmington for 10 years but at age 65 he’s challenging himself to try new things.

Now, not only does he play pickleball, but he participates in a hiking club, Tai Chi, Silver Sneakers and even Zumba, all thanks to Farmington City’s Active Aging program.

“It was definitely intimidating,” he said. “I'm still intimidated when I go to Zumba because I can’t dance, but I try.”

He’s not alone. Since Farmington introduced the Active Aging classes in May, interest has grown. Designed for seniors 60 years and older, classes can be modified to fit each person’s age, fitness and mobility level. In fact, Harris’s 90-year-old mother is a regular at the Tai Chi class.

Active Aging Manager Breklyn Choate said the program has been in the works for years and hundreds of seniors have taken advantage of the variety of classes offered.

“We have such an awesome senior population and such an interest from our seniors to stay active,” she said. “There are so many trails and pickleball and so [many things to do], but up until this point, we didn't have anything that was specifically for those seniors.”

Medicare and several other insurance companies will cover the cost of classes, making the program even more accessible. On Tuesday, participants can do fly tying or line dancing. Wednesday’s classes are Silver Sneakers and Zumba Gold. The popular Tai Chi is available every Thursday and

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

the hiking and walking clubs meet every-other Thursday.

Classes are held at the Farmington Gymnasium (294 S. 650 West) and the Farmington Community Arts Center (120 S. Main Street). Renew Active and Silver and Fit members can attend classes for free, or Farmington residents can attend for $1.50, with non-residents paying $2.50 per class.

For a complete schedule, visit Farmington.utah.gov/parks-rec/senior-programs.

Harris enjoys exploring the city’s trails with the hiking club. Farmington City Arts and Special Events Coordinator Tia Trevino leads the hikes, sharing a wealth of information about the area. She also makes sure everyone stretches before and after the hike.

“For me, it’s been keeping the body and mind moving,” Harris said.

“The people who lead the different activities, they’re all just wonderful. They’re very good people and very friendly, and so are the people that participate. It’s a great place to be. I really enjoy it.”

Choate has been pleasantly surprised by the popularity of the program and is hoping to add new classes, based on feedback from attendees. She said the city decided these programs could be a way to show appreciation for the senior population in Farmington.

“The seniors are who built the city to be the way it is now, so we can have those awesome programs,” Choate said. “It was more of a thank you to that generation. We wanted to give something back to them and give them their own activities and offer senior-specific classes.”

Participants in Farmington City’s Active Aging program have a variety of classes to choose from, including Silver Sneakers and a hiking club. Photos courtesy of Active Aging

Draft Environmental Impact Statement released for I-15 from Farmington to Salt Lake

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) recently announced completion of the draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for potential improvements to the I-15 corridor between Salt Lake City and Farmington. The public was presented with ideas and options for the preferred alternative in late 2022.

“Our purpose has been to analyze and recommend transportation solutions that improve mobility and quality of life for all users of the corridor in the face of rapid growth,” Tiffany Pocock, Study Manager at UDOT, said. “After extensive technical analysis and engagement with the public to understand the needs and issues in the study area, we have arrived at a preferred alternative we believe meets the transportation needs of those using this corridor now and in the future.”

UDOT lists these key features of the preferred alternative:

• An I-15 section with five general purpose lanes and one Express Lane (High Occupancy Toll lane) in each direction to accommodate current and future travel demand in the corridor.

• Improvements to interchanges to better accommodate all users and increase safe access across I-15 in each community.

• Shared-use path between North Salt Lake and Salt Lake City, and new or improved walking and biking paths and sidewalks at several locations to connect existing pedestrian paths and increase safe connection across and along I-15.

The public is invited to provide feedback on the preferred alternative and DEIS during a formal comment period that runs through Nov. 13, 2023. Comment methods are outlined on the study website.

UDOT will be holding in-person and online open houses. During the online open house the study team will explain the preferred alternative and the public can also ask questions. There will be no formal presentation at the in-person open houses. The in-person meetings include a formal hearing where those interested can provide verbal comment via a court reporter, according to a UDOT release.

An online open house will be held on Monday, Oct. 16, from 5-7 p.m. Details for joining the online meeting will be available on the study website in advance. Two in-person open houses are also planned:

• Tuesday, Oct. 17, from 5-7 p.m. at the Utah State Fairpark, Bonneville Building (155 North 1000 West, Salt Lake City, UT)

• Wednesday, Oct. 18, from 5-7 p.m. at the South Davis Rec Center (550 North 200 West, Bountiful, UT)

Throughout the comment period, stakeholders can also provide input and feedback on the website as well as by email or traditional mail.

The Draft EIS (DEIS), including the preferred alternative, is now available on the study website, i15eis.udot.utah. gov.l

News stories from yesteryear in Davis County Compiled by Braden Nelsen

Turning Pointe a new dance studio opening in Centerville will offer state-of-the-art classrooms for dancers young and not-so-young. “Ballet is the basis of pretty much all dance in some form or another,” Sarah Eccles Taylor, teacher and business partner at the new studio said.

Ballet training can teach you the language and moves that can lead to a ballet career or just make you more likely to be able to try out successfully for the community theater or a school play. Classes for children of all skill levels and ages are offered from a parent and tot class called tiny tutus to more advanced training for high school students. One niche Taylor hopes to fill is the adolescent dancer who needs beginning classes, but would much rather take them with others of her own age. Taylor would love to see more boys in her classes, strongly believing that the self-discipline and grace learned could be helpful in other areas of life. Boys don’t need to wear tights, and are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing for classes. Many of her students are talented, but the philosophy is to include all who want to learn. Having autism, a vision impairment, or other difficulty may not exclude someone from benefitting from ballet training at the studio.

Turning Pointe also offers adult classes for both men and women. “A woman in one of my classes last week noted that though her body couldn’t do everything it could as a child, the joy she once felt dancing was still there,” Taylor said.

Classes for adult women are offered four times a week. A ballet bar exercise class along with beginning and

intermediate ballet classes. Classes for adult men are also taught by Ballet West instructor James Bartholomew. All adult classes are punch pass so that you can drop in when you can make it, taking into account busy schedules. The women’s classes are $5 a class.

Turning Pointe is filling a need in the community since the ballet classes were dropped at CenterPoint Academy in favor of more specific theater training. The studio was still be able to use the stage at the theater for years to come. Taylor and her business partner Joan Bowles were former ballet instructors at CenterPoint. Although the studio is new, the combined teaching experience of the instructors measures in decades.

Taylor first started dancing at age 5 and loved it immediately, which was fortunate since it was prescribed by her doctor to rehabilitate a hip that was congenitally not fully formed. Her older, male instructor Walter Stoker was excellent and by the time she was a teenager, she was dancing five to six days a week. Eventually, she became part of the Ballet West academy where she participated in the Nutcracker. Currently, Taylor is the Vice Chair of the Governing Board of Directors of Ballet West. Taylor is passionate about the benefits of ballet training. “I think movement is essential for good brain development, and ballet offers a way to teach self-discipline and hard work.”

Past generations had chores on a farm to teach these skills, but ballet, with its self-control and structure, can also be useful teaching this essential mind set. “Our mission,” said Taylor, “is to provide an environment which teaches prop

er technique while also nurturing self expression.”l

cations to oversee HVAC work completed by my employees. This means I have my B100, E100, Rocky Mountain Gas Association and EPA certi cations.

To the best of my knowledge, I was one of the rst, if not the rst female to pioneer the retro t replacement design options for customers in Utah. There are currently 10-15 females in Utah holding this position.

What products and services do you o er?

We provide residential HVAC repair and replacement on any brand, plus gas lines, duct work, WiFi thermostats and free upgrade consultations.

What sets your company apart?

There are a few companies listed as women owned, but none are operated by a woman, which I believe gives a di erent experience for the customer. Customer service is the

most important aspect of our business. I treat people how I want to be treated, honestly, fairly and at a reasonable price. I maintain lifelong relationships with customers and I have customers calling me from 20 years ago. We have dispatch noti cations with biographies about the people coming to each home so people know what to expect when someone comes to the door. You have a picture pro le before anyone arrives. Does your business solve a problem for your customers?

We o er transparent pricing, over-the-phone estimates and take away the mystery of heating and air. Customers should be allowed to make decisions for themselves and be given solutions for air ow, hot spots in homes, indoor air quality, allergies and ltration options. What factors should customers base their decision on to work with True Pros?

Most of the larger HVAC companies have been purchased by private equity over the past few years. Most consumers are under

the impression the companies they purchase from are locallyowned and operated, which is not true. You might get an estimate from ve di erent companies believing that it’s from ve di erent places, but that may not be true.

What is your best advice for someone who is considering doing business with you?

Please give us a chance to be one of your three estimates. It’s hard to pick a new company but if you’re willing to give us a try, you will not be disappointed. We’re not new to heating and air. We’re probably the most experienced professionals in our area. What is your favorite product/service your company o ers? We install dual fuel, heat pumps and mini-splits that allow for individual room control and lower utility costs. I o er packages to maximize the current incentives and this year has the highest tax incentives I’ve seen from utility companies.

Are you running any specials?

We’ll be at the Mountain America Expo Center Home Show in October, giving away an air conditioner and lots of swag.

We focus on customer satisfaction and o er a suite of top-rated HVAC services catering to residential and light commercial clients.

Our core values are honesty, integrity and a compassionate approach to every project. We provide exible scheduling options and make it a priority to arrive promptly.

BRIEFS

Apartment fire causes significant damage, displaces residents

for his ailing father and others, finds himself becoming something much more sinister – his alter ego Edward Hyde.

Hyde sets about causing mayhem in the town and murdering all those who stand in his way, especially members of the Board of Governors who dismissed his scientific project. Jekyll tries to stop Hyde, but realizes the monster he has created cannot be stopped. The townspeople become increasingly fearful as there is murder after murder. Jekyll tries to protect his loved ones from his monstrous alter ego by hiding away in his laboratory. Even shutting out Emma as their wedding day approaches. Leaving his best friend John Utterson baffled by his behavior as well.

When Lucy comes to his door and presents the card Jekyll gave her in case she ever needed his help, he relents and sees her. Lucy shows Jekyll the wounds she suffered from one of her customers and he tenderly treats the bruises. Little does she know about the evil that lurks inside.

The hauntingly beautiful music by

Frank Wildhorn is the backdrop for this chilling story of good and evil while creating some lighter moments at the brothel.

Ben Lowell (TTHS) brings Jekyll and Hyde to life portraying the earnest scientist who flips the switch to become the monster Hyde. Lowell’s strong singing voice portrays the torture he is going through. Lucy (Casey Matern, TTHS) proves that she is more than just a prostitute. Clay Rockwood (John Utterson, TTHS) plays the ever faithful friend and Amanda Frisby (Emma Carew, TTHS)

Jekyll’s devoted fiancé.

A talented cast gives the audience a glimpse of how the townsfolk are impacted by Jekyll’s experiment that went airy.

Jekyll & Hyde is probably not for young children because of the dark and sinister themes of the play but it’s a treat for everyone else.

Jekyll & Hyde runs through Oct. 21, Monday – Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Saturday Matinees 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $19-37 and available by calling 801298-1302 or online at CPTUtah.org. CenterPoint Legacy Theatre is located at 525 N. 400 West in Centerville. l

A fire that started in the early morning hours Sunday ripped through a 10 unit apartment building in Centerville, displacing the occupants and causing significant damage.

“We got the call a little after 1 a.m.,” said South Davis Metro Deputy Chief Greg Stewart. “It was actually our secretary who lived in the building next door that called it in. She looked out of her bedroom window and saw the flames and called 911.”

When crews got there the fire was pretty well involved, he said. “It was in one unit and headed for another. The fire had tons of a head start on the crews when they got there. Three out of 10 units were heavily damaged by the fire.”

The fire had gotten into the roof structure between the roof and ceiling, said Stewart. “Crews had to do a trench cut to try and stop the fire from running through.”

The building is made of cedar shake shingles, he said. “Fires love that. It’s a bad situation. They were built in the 70s and the code then is not what it is today. There’s only one meter so to turn off water, gas and electricity it’s all or nothing. You can’t just turn off an individual apartment.”

Stewart said the fire started between the carport and patio area. “It went up the wall and into the trusses in the roof.”

The Centerville Police Department was amazing, he said. “I can’t praise them enough. They knew what apartments people were in and how to contact them.”

There’s significant property loss, said Stewart. “It’s probably a million and a half and that’s just the property not personal loss. A renovation would mean taking out the middle of the building. The roof has the biggest damage. It’s going to be a major rebuild.”

The cause is still under investigation. There were no injuries of occupants, firefighters or pets.

Former district secretary allegedly misused school funds

A former Davis High School secretary is facing felony charges for allegedly making unauthorized purchases on school credit cards while employed at the school.

Kellie Wilko, 47, was charged in 2nd District Court last week with a single count of misuse of public money, a second-degree felony.

Wilko allegedly made a total of $82,045.02 in unauthorized purchases

on the cards between July 2020 and February 2021, charging papers said. According to the indictment, Davis School District Auditor Nathan Lee noticed Wilko had made a $1,632.29 expense in April 2021 and began looking into the charges. “Because it was over $1,000, Mr. Lee conducted a search and found 42 unauthorized charges from both credit cards to that PayPal account totaling $40,991.62. The defendant admitted that the PayPal account belonged to her and that she used the funds for personal use,” charging papers said.

Report of gun causes lockdown at SDJH

South Davis Junior High was put on lockdown Wednesday afternoon for about 45 minutes after someone reported that they thought they saw a student with a gun and called 911. “The Bountiful Police came very quickly and determined it was false,” said Chris Williams, Davis School District Director of Communication & Operations. “The lockdown was lifted (close) to the end of the day and soon after students were released.”

Prep football update: With season winding down, region races become more clear

By Josh McFadden

When the Utah High School Activities Association created the Ratings Percentage Index, or RPI, a few years ago, it changed how team were seeded in the state playoffs. The system is a formula that combines a team’s overall record with its strength of schedule and its opponents’ strength of schedule. Now, the RPI determines the seed a team gets in the postseason, whereas before, region standings dictated he seeding.

But don’t think winning a region title isn’t important to a team.

In football for example, a couple of local teams are in contention for winning their regions. Consequently, those teams also have favorable RPI rankings, which could pay dividends when the playoffs begin Oct. 20.

Davis

Heading into its Oct. 5 game with Farmington, the Darts were 3-0 in Region 1 and 7-1 overall. The team had won seven consecutive games since losing the season opener.

Davis won at Layton on Sept. 29 by the count of 31-21, scoring the final 14 points of the contest after being down 21-17 early in the fourth quarter. Bode Sparrow had a 31-yard pass reception from Tradon Bessinger for a touchdown with 6:11 left to play. Then, just a minute and a half later, Owen Talbot crossed the goal line from the 1-yard-line for the goahead points.

Talbot had 15 carries for 67 yards on the night, while Bessinger had 183 yards passing and a TD. The sophomore quarterback missed on just two of his 21 pass attempts. Sparrow not only grabbed a touchdown pass, but he had eight catches for 79 yards in all. Carter Dorius had 11 tackles and a sack, while Jordan Taula had 11 tackles of his own.

The Darts finish the regular season Oct. 12 at home against Syracuse. At press time, Davis was seventh in Class 6A RPI rankings. The team also had a one-game lead on Syracuse in the league standings.

Bountiful

The Redhawks began October in a

logjam for first place in Region 5. Bountiful sat atop the league with three other teams, each with a 4-1 record. Three of those wins came consecutively Sept. 15, 22 and 29. In the third win, which took Bountiful to 5-3 overall, The Redhawks toppled Box Elder in overtime, 34-28 on the road. This game was significant, as it was Box Elder’s first defeat of the season.

The Redhawks were up 21-7 just before halftime when Siaki Fekitoa scored on a 22-yard TD run. But Box Elder scored three unanswered touchdowns to take a 28-21 lead in the third quarter. Bountiful’s defense held the rest of the way. The offense tied things up with 6:35 left in the game when Britton Tid-

well hauled in a 20-yard touchdown pass from Emerson Geilman. In overtime, Bountiful kept Box Elder off the board on its possession. Then, Jacob Brooks secured the big win with a 2-yard TD run.

Brigham Morrison had 69 yards rushing on 14 attempts and on defense added a game-high 17 tackles. Faletau Satuala had 12 tackles and an interception as well as five catches for 96 yards and two scores. Geilman had three touchdown passes and 236 yards.

The Redhawks are 13th in RPI rankings as of our press deadline. The Redhawks hosted Roy on Oct. 6 and finish the regular season Oct. 13 at Woods Cross.

Farmington

Back in Class 6A’s Region 1, Farmington got its first won on Sept. 22, a 4321 triumph over Layton.

But it has otherwise been a tough season for the Phoenix.

Leading up to its clash with Davis on Oct. 5, the team was 1-2 in Region 1 and 1-6 overall. The Phoenix were competitive in a Sept. 29 loss at home against Weber, falling 30-27. It took a field goal with a minute left in the game from Weber for the Warriors to avoid overtime and pull off the win. Travis Hoopes had two touchdown runs for Farmington. Easton Wight ran for a TD and threw for another in his 164-yard passing night.

Farmington’s final game of the regular season is Oct. 11 at Fremont. At press time, Farmington had the 15th spot in the RPI rankings in 6A.

Woods Cross

Out of 27 teams in Class 5A, the Wildcats held the 11th spot in the RPI rankings in Class 5A. At press time, Woods Cross was 5-3 overall and 3-2 in region play, a game behind four other teams in the standings.

The Wildcats scored a key 38-21 victory over Northridge on Sept. 29. Playing on the road, the Wildcats scored all 38 of their points in the first three quarters and allowed just seven points after halftime. Charlie Coats had two touchdown runs scoring from 4 yards out and 1 yard away, both in the first half. He also had five tackles on defense.

Viewmont

The Vikings will look to the postseason as a chance to make some surprises. Viewmont has struggled in league play, as it had gone winless in five contests heading into Oct. 5 game at Bonneville. The final regular season game is at home against Clearfield on Oct. 13. The Falcons have yet to win a game this season.

With two games left, Viewmont had the No. 23 spot in RPI rankings. The team’s last win was a 57-6 thrashing of Taylorsville on Aug. 25. l

Farmington girls soccer heads into postseason looking to turn things around

It’s not unheard of for a struggling team to suddenly catch fire in the playoffs and surprise some opponents. The Farmington girls soccer team is hoping it can do just that.

The Phoenix had some setbacks this season, as a rebuilding squad went 8-8 overall in the regular season and 4-6 in Region 1, finishing in fourth place. Last season, Farmington won the region and advanced to the Class 6A state title game before falling to league rival Davis. This season, replacing some key players from that runner-up team, the Phoenix have had some struggles.

But the postseason offers relief.

The state tournament is where unheralded teams sometimes make unexpected runs. The Phoenix have shown signs this season of being able to play with the best. Farmington took undefeated and region champion Davis down to the wire in the regular season finale, losing 2-1 on Sept. 28. In that contest, Davis was up 2-0 at halftime, but Farmington held the Darts scoreless in the second half and got a goal from Brynlee Austin after the break. In the other meeting between the two teams, on Sept. 12, Farmington played admirably in a 2-0 defeat. Farmington also got the best of second-place Layton on Sept. 21, winning 1-0 on

the strength of a goal from Macey Call on an assist from Brinley Mattson. Goalie Emmy McKeon got the shutout.

Farmington registered 28 goals on the year, while giving up 23. The Phoenix also beat region foes Syracuse (in a shootout) and Fremont twice, once in a shootout and once by the score of 1-0.

Ten Phoenix players scored goals this season, led by Call, the sophomore forward, who tallied seven on the season. Taytem Grant wasn’t far behind; the sophomore midfielder had six goals. Austin had four goals and a pair of assists. Grant and Claire Rencher were tops on the team in assists during the regular season with three apiece. A total of 12 players had assists for the unselfish Phoenix. McKeon had 2.5 shutouts, and backup goalie Isabelle Jones had 0.5 shutouts.

Heading into the playoffs, Farmington had won two of its final three regular-season games. Before that, the team was on a rough patch of one win in six tries. The Phoenix secured the No. 10 seed in the state tournament, earning a first-round bye. The Phoenix opens with a familiar foe, Region 1 opponent Weber, in the second round on Oct. 10 on the road. l

A publication covering local Halloween legends and activities for men, women, and children in the Davis County Valley Davis County’s own haunted ranch

By Braden Nelsen | braden.n@davisjournal.com

ANTELOPE ISLAND—On the east coast of Antelope Island visitors can still find a centuries-old ranch. Started in 1848-1849 by Fielding Garr, it marks one of the oldest settlement structures still standing in the state, but not the first human activity on the island, according to Carl Aldrich, Fielding Garr Ranch Manager.

Thanks to a natural freshwater spring in the ranch, people have been frequenting that specific area of Antelope Island for over 6,000 years. It stands to reason, therefore, that in those thousands of years, there may be a few of those people who decided to stick around, even after shaking off this mortal coil.

While Aldrich himself doesn’t necessarily believe in ghosts (probably a good thing for someone managing the ranch), he does “wonder if those experiences might change the energy of the place.” He’s certainly not alone, either. Since taking the reins of Fielding Garr Ranch five years ago, Aldrich has played host to many paranormal investigators and their groups as they’ve toured the property, looking for evidence of the unexplained.

Much of those investigations center on the sitting room, or parlor of the old Fielding Garr house. Part of the original building that’s been around since 1849, it’s likely the oldest section of the ranch, featuring a stack rock foundation, still in place as it was laid down by Garr himself. Aldrich explained that the parlor would have been where most of the activity would have been

when it was a functioning ranch, including visits from the Governor and President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Brigham Young.

As with other paranormal investigations around the ranch, much of the activity reported has been involved with EVP or Electronic Voice Phenomenon. The theory behind EVP is that, as confirmed by science, there are pitches and sounds that fall outside the range of human hearing, but that can be detected, and recorded by audio devices. For many paranormal investigators, the belief is that they can ask a question in a haunted room, and record the answers they may not be able to hear in person.

Whether or not these are legitimate disembodied voices, or simple radio waves transmissions, or something else is a topic hotly debated, but, Aldrich reported some definite spooky occurrences. One such EVP recording happened when paranormal investigators asked the question “How many people are in this room?” to which a recorded voice responded correctly, “Six.”

The paranormal activity hasn’t been limited to EVPs either. Aldrich explained in the small copse of trees surrounding the natural spring, people have reported feeling watched, faces have been seen in the bunkhouse window, and at least one has even been scratched by an unseen entity. It seems like someone or something is at least disgruntled around the ranch, but why would that be?

One possible explanation could be that Fielding Garr, the namesake of the ranch, and the one who started it was likely bur-

ied on the property, but his grave has yet to be found. With no organized cemetery on the island, and no grave attributed to Garr on the property, it could be anywhere on the ranch, but Aldrich has a theory.

According to a 1930’s oral history, there were 2-3 marked graves near where the old barn once stood, which is now an open field/orchard. Could it be that Garr, and others buried there are a bit upset

The ghosts and monsters of the Great Salt Lake

By Braden Nelsen | braden.n@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—No matter where you go around the world, it seems like there are some places that are just downright spooky. Even the friendliest neighborhoods seem to have that one house that’s always been haunted or a neighbor who’s seen a real UFO, or the list goes on. Here are just a few of the stories around Davis County to send chills down your spine this Halloween.

The Ghost of Jean Baptiste

Though technically just north of Davis, Fremont Island in the Great Salt Lake still holds great intrigue for residents of both Davis and Weber Counties. The story goes back to 1862, and a man named Jean Baptiste.

Newspaper records from the period reveal that Baptiste had been discovered as a grave robber in the area, and authorities were unsure what to do with him. So powerful were the negative feelings against the man, that they didn’t want to imprison him for fear of riots, violence, and mob rule.

Instead, it was decided that he would be exiled to Fremont Island to spend the rest of his days. A small cabin had been built on the island, and several head of cattle were roaming, belonging to a local Davis County family, the Millers. Baptiste was tattooed on his forehead with the words, “Branded for robbing the dead,” and turned loose on the island.

The mystery arises, however only three weeks after his banishment. In an account delivered by Henry Heath, a policeman in Salt Lake who carried out the sentence, the Millers went back to the island to check on their herd, and Baptiste, but found something strange instead: one butchered heifer and missing timbers from the cabin.

It’s clear that Baptiste made an attempt to escape, and whether or not he succeeded has been the subject of much speculation. The legend has it that he perished in the attempt and that his ghost roams Fremont Island to this day. Accounts have claimed Baptiste’s ghost wanders the island still, uttering unearthly groans, and clutching a bundle of his ill-gotten gains.

Old Briney

Most people know about the fa -

mous Loch Ness Monster, or Nessie, who has been sighted in the famous Scottish lake since the Middle Ages. Most Utahns even know about her distant cousin, the Bear Lake Monster, but few people know of Old Briney, the purported monster of the Great Salt Lake.

Unlike the outgoing Nessie, there have only been two recorded accounts of the North Shore Monster, or

Old Briney. The most clear of which comes from an article in the Salt Lake Herald-Republican in 1877. The account comes from “night hands” working near the lake shore for Barnes and Co. Salt Boilers. According to the account, on the night of July 8, 1877, the men heard strange noises from the lake, which they had heard before. What made them take to their heels, however, was

about their graves being lost? Or are they simply trying to reach out to inform others of the location of their earthly remains?

Regardless of what the explanation is for these unexplained phenomena, whether it’s radio waves, or in reality something unexplained, Fielding Garr ranch is one of the best spooky spots in Davis County and would make for an intriguing visit this October.

the sight of a creature emerge from the water, "a huge mass of hide and fin rapidly approaching, and when within a few yards of the shore it raised its enormous head and uttered a terrible bellow."

J. H. McNeil, the only man whose name is attached to the account gave a detailed description of the creature, claiming it was “a great animal like a crocodile or alligator, approaching the bank, but much larger than I had ever heard of one being. It must have been seventy-five feet long, but the head was not like an alligator's it was more like a horse’s. When within a few yards of the shore it made a loud noise and my companion and I fled up the mountain, where we stayed all night. When we came down in the morning we saw tracks on the shore, but nothing else.”

Have you seen the Great Sale Lake Monster?

Great Salt Lake Whales

Another possible explanation for Old Briney, if indeed they exist, would be the legendary whales of the Great Salt Lake. Many people have heard the rumor about the huge marine mammals in the saline lake, but where did it come from?

An article published in the Utah Enquirer of June 24, 1890, is to blame. The article details how a British naturalist and “Scientific gentleman of the whale industry” James Wickham decided it was high time to plop a few whales into the Great Salt Lake. Why? The reason is never clearly stated, but, Wickham apparently had the time, and the means, so, according to the article, he went about it in earnest.

Wickham’s team captured two “southern or Australian whale(s),” and transported them, via rail to the Great Salt Lake where they quickly escaped their pen. Wickham returned to the lake six months later, and reportedly saw that the pair had doubled in size, and were being followed by “a school of several hundred young.”

Despite a subsequent article saying that the Enquirer had published the story clipped from an “Eastern exchange” to show how little people back east actually knew about Utah, the rumor has persisted to this day.

OBITUARIES

July 14, 1934-Sept. 30, 2023

Diane Pearl Stowe Gibbs, age 89, of Bountiful Utah, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and great grandmother passed away peacefully Sept. 30, 2023. She was surrounded by loving family members after a hard-fought battle of declining health, including cancer. Her graceful ending complimented a lifetime of unending charity and Christlike service to everyone she met. Diane was born July 14, 1934, in Ogden, Utah to William Hessel and Mildred Madsen Stowe. She was the first of five children, two brothers David Stowe (Flo) and Neal Stowe (Peggy), who preceded her in death and two sisters Nancy Kader (Omar) of Fairfax, Virginia, and Connie Wall (Richard, deceased) of Ogden, Utah. Her childhood was filled with sledding hills, rodeos, peonies, and Farr Ice Cream. She graduated in 1952 from Ogden High School. She was one of five girls who received a scholarship to go to nursing school at Thomas Dee School of Nursing. She was a labor and delivery nurse for 40 years in Bountiful and taught prenatal classes for many years. She aided in the delivery of all her grandchildren and many, many others. There were several newborns named after Diane due to her loving care.

In Ogden, Diane met the love of her life when Calvin Gibbs moved in across the street. They were assigned to decorate a church dance in 1951, and he noticed the girl in the yellow pedal pushers and the green sweater, and he knew she was the one for him. Cal was drafted in the army and was shipped off to Fort Ord, where she went to visit him. While there, he proposed, and they were married Dec. 18, 1953, in the Logan Temple. They would have celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary this December.

She was an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, serving many times as a Relief Society President, Young Women’s President, Primary President, and working with the youth in young adult wards. She served as a temple worker and host at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. She and Cal served a Church Education Mission to Baltimore, Maryland from 1998 to 1999, where they made many lifelong friends. Her spiritual life displayed every Christlike gift, and she blessed everyone she met. She was loved and admired by all those she served.

Her heart was full of love and concern for every person. She opened her home to everyone, including Nancy Campbell Orgill who lived with them as part of the family until she married. It was not unusual to find other people living in our home. She took in and cared for countless others.

She was an avid reader and loved to learn.

She would read books, magazines, and newspapers every day. She often shared articles, quotes, and ideas from the things she read.

She was very practical except when it came to Christmas, when she loved to spend and spend. It was never on her, but always for others, including a matching set of pajamas for every member of the family. She loved holidays and being with her family. She loved her family fiercely. Her light and love strengthened us all.

Her life was dedicated to others, in small and big ways, never wanting to be the center of attention. Even after she got cancer, she couldn’t be found at home because she was out taking care of others. She worked at creating ways to serve, lift and teach those that needed care. She never stopped doing, working tirelessly to enrich the lives of family, friends, and strangers in her home, church, and community. She lifted the hands that hung down. She will be missed in ways that one can never comprehend.

Diane is survived by her husband Calvin, children Laurie Markisich (Erney), Tracy Haire (John), Brad Gibbs (Wendy), Michael Gibbs (Stacey), and Lisa Avei (Taisi), 20 grandchildren, 15 grandchildren-in-laws, and 28 great grandchildren with two more on the way.

Visitation will be held Sunday, Oct. 8, 2023, from 6 - 8 p.m. at Lindquist’s Bountiful Mortuary, 727 N. 400 E., Bountiful, Utah. Funeral services will be held on Monday, Oct. 9, 2023 at 11 a.m. at the North Canyon Stake Center, 965 East Oakwood Drive, Bountiful, Utah, with visitation at the Stake Center from 9 - 10:30 a.m. prior to the services. Interment will be at Memorial Lakeview Cemetery, Bountiful. Services will be lived-streamed and may be viewed by scrolling to the bottom of Diane’s obituary page at www.lindquistmortuary.com

Randall Arlin Brummett

11-5-1947 – 10-1-2023

Randy Brummett was born Nov. 5, 1947, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He moved to Bountiful, Utah at the age of 11 and spent the rest of his life there. He enjoyed spending time outdoors with his boys and family, riding motorcycles, camping, hunting, and fishing. He traveled to Moab with friends and family every spring for 30 years. When not spending time working on cars or building his next jeep for Moab, he loved spending his time with family, hanging out with friends and being with Shirley. He sadly passed away on Sunday, Oct. 1, 2023, surrounded by his family and loved ones. He is survived by his lifelong love Shirley Cushing, his son Jason Brummett (wife Heather and granddaughters Payton and Bailey), his son Jeremy Brummett (wife Jessi and granddaughters Alexia and Nataliah), brother Jeff Brummett (Kaye), sister Sherry Cummins (Mike), three nieces and two nephews. He is preceded in death by his father, Lawrence Brummett; mother, Frances Hart Brummett; and nephew, Tyson Brummett. Funeral services will be held at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 11, 2023, at Russon Mortuary, 295 North Main Street, Bountiful, Utah where a viewing will be held Tuesday evening from

6-8 p.m. and Wednesday morning from 9-9:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment – Memorial Lakeview Cemetery. Services will be streamed live on Randy’s obituary at www.russonmortuary.com.

But some council members felt that waiting for UDOT to produce final plans was not prudent.

“I don’t want to wait on what UDOT may or may not do,” Councilmember George McEwan said. “I’ve lived in Centerville over 20 years now, and all of the beautification that people have been asking for along the frontage road for the last 20 years has not been done because UDOT might expand someday or UDOT might do something. My viewpoint is we do what is best as a city. If their plans impact us at a later date, we put our hand back out and say pay us for the damage you’ve done, and we’ll make the change.”

Another factor at play is a $400,000 grant which the city has applied for from the Land & Water Conservation Fund and which it seems likely to receive, Parks Director Bruce Cox said. That $400,000 was supposed to be 50 percent of the funds needed for two projects – the pickleball courts and redoing the playground at the park – which the

city would be required to match. The funds must be disbursed before any other grants can be applied for and the city is likely to lose the grant if it waits, Cox said. When Cox learned of the increased costs estimated for the pickleball courts he went back to Land & Water Conservation Fund officials and asked if he could bump Centerville’s request up to $700,000. He has been told there is “a chance” that could happen, he said. (If those projects get grant funding and go forward, they could be completed by July 4 next summer, he said).

The city does have options to fund the shortfall, City Manager Brant Hanson said: It could dip into its reserve, bond for the project or take out a real property lease as the city did with Island View Park.

The council did not solve any of these issues that evening, eventually deciding to send the two concepts to the parks committee and ask them if they had any suggestions for cost cutting which would not jeopardize the project.

Church Well up and running but changes are coming

CENTERVILLE—The historic Church Well built in 1933 is back up and running after being offline since mid-June. The well, located on the corner of 200 South and 200 East, has been popular with Centerville residents and others looking for a source for non-fluoridated water. Although compared to other city wells its yield is low at about one million gallons a year, the well’s fill station is busy at all hours of the day and night, Public Works Director Mike Carlson said.

In June Carlson reported to the city council that the fill station’s AC pump was no longer working. The city then hired a contractor to inspect the pumps. That contractor determined that both pumps needed to be replaced at a cost of just under $25,000. The city ordered the new pumps which took several weeks to come in. They were installed in mid-August and the city brought the well back online later that month. The repairs are expected to last for 10 to 15 years, Carlson said.

After giving his report Carlson suggested the city council consider

By Linda Petersen | l.petersen@mycityjournals.com

limiting the hours people are allowed to access the well. Currently it is available 24/7 but the city has received complaints from neighbors who are being disturbed at night, he said. One recommendation that was discussed was to limit the hours to the same schedule as the city’s parks: 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“I definitely think there needs to be a restriction similar to what's at the parks so that the surrounding neighbors are not being asked to deal with headlights noise at night,” Councilmember Gina Hirst said. “I think they should have the same expectation as anyone else that’s around a park that there should be some quiet hours.”

Another option of 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. was discussed. Whichever option the council decided on, the city could put a timer on the well for those hours, Carlson said.

He also asked the council if they would like to consider implementing a water use fee for the well. This could be easily done by requiring Church Well users to purchase an electronic card that would allow them to access

the well, he said. He suggested the city charge residents a small fee for the cards which would not ever need to be reloaded. Non-residents would have to load a certain dollar amount on the card and then reload it when those funds were depleted. This system would require minimal staff time and would be self-regulating, he said.

Several council members seemed to support this idea.

“I’ve actually had multiple residents suggest that we charge to cover the maintenance costs and others the $25,000 we just spent,” Councilmember Bill Ince said. “And that, in essence, what you said is residents have a card, and maybe there’s a $5 or $10 issuance fee the first time but their cards are good forever. Whether they’re charged per gallon or whether they’re charged per year that goes into a fund to handle the maintenance.”

Centerville should make the needs of its residents its first priority, Councilmember George McEwan said. “When we have people who are coming in from out of town with a

55-gallon drum filling up, I don’t have a problem trying to literally slow the flow by making it a little less convenient. There are plenty of card-based services that we can do that will have a pretty low burden where they can even recharge the card online. They wouldn’t have to come into the office to do that. I would be supportive if the thing is a pretty much turnkey environment that we’re just putting up a swipe pad and charging by some reasonable increment. I don’t care if somebody from out of town wants to come and use it but …. this is a resource that should be oriented towards our citizens. And I’d be really surprised if a million gallons of that water ended up in Centerville.”

At the end of the discussion, the city council asked Carlson to look into an electronic card system and to report back to them on its cost and efficacy. No action was taken to limit the well’s hours. l

CENTERVILLE—The community of Centerville is friendly, safe, family-oriented, close knit and service oriented with strong ties to its pioneer heritage and a strong sense of community, city officials say. It also has much to offer with its convenience and access to I-15 and Salt Lake City. City officials say they want current residents and potential future residents to understand just what the city has to offer. They also want to attract business to strengthen Centerville’s tax base. To do that and to find out more of what residents want they’ve invested in a rebranding campaign.

In April, Centerville City hired Jibe Media, a design, marketing and advertising agency, to develop a “visual identity and key messaging” for the city. They are paying Jibe $28,500 to do so. Along with meeting with the city council and “key stakeholders” Jibe will perform a resident survey and review the city’s history and current brand.

On Aug. 8 the city council dedicated a special session to spend some time with Jibe exploring the issue. They went through several exercises to zero in on what makes Centerville unique and to determine how to market Centerville to potential businesses they’d like to see relocate here. While some initially questioned the value of investing in this project when the city’s budget is tight and it’s often difficult to find funds for all of the city’s basic needs, the investment is worth it, Councilmember Gina Hirst said.

“As I’ve thought about this, one thing that has come to mind, is we have a very finite acreage of land that is left to be developed,” she said. “And if we don't do this branding, we may be blowing in the wind and just whatever comes, comes instead of making it [happen]. I mean, this sort of ties into the general plan, eventually, but we want to have a brand so that we can say, ‘This is what Centerville is and this is how we make it that way.’”

Gathering data from the stakeholder meetings and the resident survey may help determine how to identify Centerville as different from its neighbors and in getting a clearer picture of what’s im-

Centerville looks to rebrand itself

portant to the community, Councilmember Spencer Summerhays said.

“Getting that feedback from the community I think is beautiful,” he said.

“And I think one of the things we want to know is … what we think people want and we and we hear from those constituents that we interact with what they want. But hopefully involving the community in this gives us way more than just the five or six of us can bring to the table, right?”

While identifying Centerville’s strengths, at Jibe’s request city council members also enumerated some of the city’s weaknesses which include a lack of clear identity, limited access, congestion on Parrish Lane, poor sidewalk system and citywide lighting, lack of some amenities such as recreation and a weaker tax base than some surrounding communities.

One of the things that’s difficult in Centerville is differentiating it from surrounding communities, Councilmember Bill Ence said. “Centerville, Bountiful, Farmington — there is such an overlap in between, and I almost see this as being more of a Davis County conversation or South Bay,” he said.

“We kind of have a lack of identity,” Hirst added. “We're sort of like the fast food stop just going to Salt Lake City.”

The audience for the brand should first of all be Centerville residents, city council members said.

“Speaking for myself, I think the purpose of this rebranding effort is focused mostly on current residents and what does our future look like and how do we guide that future?” Summerhays said.

They also want to find ways to reach businesses that could locate in Centerville.

“We want to attract businesses that will help us to have the tax base so we don't have to put all the taxes on our citizens and that we can get more amenities to our citizens,” Mecham said.

To do so, it will be important to highlight Centerville’s strengths, which are many, they say.

“I live just across the street from here; it feels very small town,” Mecham

We've kept our neighborhoods with the small-town feel. That's one thing our planning has done. We have our neighborhood with the small-town feel. But yet we have everything that we want.

Jibe will take the feedback from the Aug. 8 meeting and combine it with that from the other stakeholder meetings and with the results of an upcoming resident survey to get a clear picture of Centerville’s identity. From there they will develop a new city logo and materials which will help the city market to potential businesses and guide city leaders with future planning. l

Serving Local Families Since 1885

Centerville City has a new drainage capital facilities plan but its findings are a mixed bag. Although Centerville has been able to complete some projects, maintenance costs are so close to revenues that it’s leaving an insufficient amount to complete needed projects over the next few years. To address the shortfall, the city needs to at least double the storm drain fees, Drainage Utility Operator Cameron Woodbury told city council in a work session Sept. 19.

Before Woodbury gave his bad news, City Engineer Kevin Campbell presented the updated drainage capital facilities plan to Mayor Clark Wilkinson

and the city council. Partnering with Davis County and UDOT has enabled the city to complete some projects, he said. For example, “On the Legacy Highway project, we had half a dozen culverts that we knew we could team that was probably several million dollars worth of infrastructure that we were able to have benefit the city as part of the West Davis corridor project,’’ he said.

The city was able to upgrade its water line infrastructure on Linda Loma Road in conjunction with a road construction project there, Deputy Public Works Director Dave Turner told the city council. “With that, then we upgrad-

ed and installed a new storm drain system through that area; it never had one before.”

The city also partnered with Davis County on a project to improve the Deuel Creek Canyon debris dam, he said. “We did a percentage, about 25 percent participation, on that debris dam,” he said. “And that one, the benefit to the community was over 160 people taken off of flood insurance. I think we ended up [saving residents] slightly over $100,000 a year. Residents were saving flood insurance based off data collected from the people at the time.”

The public works department has been trying to stretch its funds as far as it can, he said. “We’re trying to find all these alternatives so we aren’t just looking to come and say, we want to raise rates, we’re going to tear everything out, put all brand new, and there’s these new options. So we are trying to be the best stewards with the money that we can.”

That was the good news. Then it was Woodbury’s turn to deliver the bad news.

“Currently, our revenues are about $1.3 million from primarily drainage fees and subsurface fees,” he said. “We

get some from impact fees and those are minimal. Our operations and including personnel and operating costs are about $1.2 million, which leaves us about $100,000. But currently we need about $700,000 to $800,000 a year to stay current with this plan to stay on the 30-year track. So we’re short about that much.”

At some point the city will probably need to double its drainage fees just to keep up, he said. The last time the city took this action was in 2016.

“Over 10 years the cost of construction has doubled,” Woodbury said. “And so now similar to the culinary water master plan, we have not added in any inflation to these cost estimates.”

No action was taken that evening but the response of city council members suggested they could see there might be no other option in the future.

“I think that’s a difficult thing for people to bear,” Councilmember Gina Hirst said. “But you know, if we waited 10 years, I’m like, well, that’s the kind of thing that can happen if you haven’t raised it at all in 10 years. I don’t know that it’s completely surprising it needs to be doubled.” l

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: I watched “Jurassic World” and noticed that Claire apparently wore high heels during the entire movie, including outrunning a T-Rex. Did Bryce Dallas Howard actually wear them the whole time or was it CGI or something?

A: The choice to have Claire Dearing, the straight-laced park operations manager in “Jurassic World” (2015), wear

TELEVISION GUIDE

heels proved to be surprisingly controversial.

Of all the fantastical, giant-sized events that happen in the film, the one that many fans took issue with was seeing Claire sprint around the revived dinosaur theme park entirely in very impractical footwear.

While that might seem like an insignificant detail in the film’s grand scheme, star Bryce Dallas Howard (“The Help,” 2011) said it was a deliberate choice, on her part, that said a lot about her character.

“The takeaway from ‘Jurassic World’ is not, at all times, be ready to run from a dinosaur,” she told fashion magazine Hello Giggles. “The takeaway is that if she could outrun a T-Rex in high heels, how badass is she? And so of course she’s going to wear heels to the office, and

that was something that kind of felt, I don’t know, I was like, ‘There was no other choice.’”

And, of course, having made that decision, she knew it wouldn’t be OK to fake it with special effects. “I felt like I needed to get myself sorted and learn how to run in heels,” she told Made In Hollywood TV. “Now I can put that on my resume under special skills.”

Q: What has the actor who played Linda on “Blue Bloods” been doing since she was written off the show?

A: Amy Carlson (“Blue Bloods,” “Third Watch”) has been pounding the pavement again — virtually, at least.

After [six-year-old spoiler alert] her “Blue Bloods” character was killed off in 2017, Carlson is back to chasing sup-

porting roles, indie films and shorts, much like she did earlier in her career.

Most notably, she did a two-episode arc as Jackie Ward on “FBI: Most Wanted” (another police procedural) in the 202021 season, and two episodes of the sci-fi drama “The Society” in 2019.

But the process of finding roles has changed a bit since the days before she was a prime-time fixture. She posted a refreshingly frank message on Instagram, saying she’s discovered that actors now are required to record their own audition tapes at home, whereas earlier (particularly pre-pandemic), they had casting directors helping them to record their audition performances.

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Carla Gugino didn’t necessarily set out to be a horror star, but thanks largely to the work she has done with Netflix, she’s built a reputation for herself in the genre.

She has teamed again with filmmaker Mike Flanagan on Netflix’s new, currently streaming version of the Edgar Allan Poe tale “The Fall of the House of Usher.” The limited series updates the story to make Usher siblings (played by Bruce Greenwood and Mary McDonnell) the controllers of a prominent pharmaceutical firm, though their business doesn’t prevent others in their family from dying under mysterious circumstances, thanks to someone who returns from the past … with Gugino’s character Verna having a major role in what happens Gugino previously worked with Flanagan on three Netflix projects in the horror vein: “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and “Midnight Mass.” She’s clearly a vital part of the acting company that Flanagan has built through his work, not unlike producer Ryan Murphy’s casting pattern through such ventures as “American Horror Story” and “American Crime Story.”

However, Gugino entered the supernatural genre even before her association with Flanagan began. Among the other series she has done was “Threshold,” a short-lived 2005 sci-fi drama that CBS pulled with several episodes left to air. The actress plays the central part as a crisis-management expert who prepared advanced scenarios on how to handle various emergencies if they became real, one such situation being contact with aliens. (Of course, that happened in “Threshold,” thus the reason for the show existing.)

Your Luck

While those spins may earn players cash and prizes, the dreaded “Whammy!” may take it all away.

The Truth is Out There

Depending on who you ask, aliens have either 1) frequently visited our planet, 2) never visited our planet, or 3) are currently running our planet.

It’s been quite a year for Unidentified Flying Objects, which are now called Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. (Tomayto, tomahto.) These “extraterrestrial” vessels made the news, created a TikTok channel and had their own congressional hearing.

In early 2023, the Air Force started blasting weather balloons out of the sky. Although weather balloons have been used since 1896, it’s only in the last year the balloons became malicious enough to be shot down. It’s definitely American to shoot first and never ask questions.

It reminds me of the 1978 video game Space Invaders, where the goal was to blast UFOs out of the atmosphere before they reached Earth. Whether the current UAPs were peace emissaries from Alpha Centauri or galactic multi-level-marketing sales-aliens, we’ll never know.

Look at it this way. If you launched a celebratory lightspeed rocket on the day Jesus was born, it would still be in the Milky Way Galaxy, even traveling for 2,000 years at the speed of light. So if a flying saucer made its way across its galaxy and our galaxy, it would take hundreds of thousands of light years to reach us, only to be casually shot down by an F-22.

Maybe they were on their way to teach us how to travel at lightspeed, how to create a functional Congress or how to evolve so our skin glows in the dark. We’ll never know.

UFO sightings occur all over the world, but the U.S. has the most interaction with aliens. The Roswell crash in 1947 was the first “flying saucer” wreckage that authorities said was a UFO, then it was a weather balloon, then it was Carl’s tractor from down the road and then it was the remnants of an atomic test, which didn’t make anyone feel better.

Air Force pilots share stories of strange objects in the sky, security camer-

as capture “meteors” and eerie lights, and there was a congressional hearing to talk about what the government isn’t telling us. Spoiler alert: the government keeps a lot of secrets.

Many people are convinced the pyramids were built with alien technology. Some people think UFOs travel the world making intricate designs in crops, kind of like alien graffiti. Others point out the first microchip was created just 10 years after the Roswell crash. Coincidence?

Hmmmm.

Records from Rome (AD 65) and Ireland (AD 740) document chariots flying through the clouds or ships floating in the air, filled with people. Too bad there wasn’t an F-22 to shoot them down.

“War of the Worlds” by H.G. Wells was written in the late 1890s. It was one of the first novels that detailed an alien invasion on Earth. People lost their minds when Orson Welles dramatized it on a 1938 radio show.

I’m not saying UFOs are real. I’m not saying they’re not. But sightings have increased, usually in the form of an orb, a disc, a triangle, a cylinder, an egg, a toaster, a VW Bug or other random shapes.

I’ve been saying for years that Earth is a hit reality show in the universe and little green men (or blue or white or gray) watch the hilarious antics on our dumpster fire of a planet while eating alien popcorn.

It’s pretty egocentric of us to think we’re the only planet with intelligent life. And I use the word “intelligent” lightly. I hope somewhere in the universe there’s a planet where the inhabitants live in peace and work together to create new ideas. I just hope they don’t come here. We’ll shoot them out of the sky. l
