Workman received a gift herself when BrightBox was selected by America First Credit Union and its partner, the Utah Jazz, as the grand-prize winner of its inaugural Small-Business Spotlight Contest. BrightBox received a $250,000 single-season sponsorship to promote the com pany’s mission of spreading happiness.
Workman started the business in 2017 when she couldn’t find an easy, inexpensive way to send a friend a thoughtful gift. She said looking in stores was time-con suming, and shopping online for a gift box was too ex pensive.She decided to do it herself and started creating gift boxes in her home garage. Workman then moved her com pany to North Salt Lake when business picked up and now BrightBox has relocated to Centerville and continues to grow.“I grew up in Centerville so I’m coming back to my roots, I love it,” Workman said. “I love that there’s so much opportunity and things nearby, but also the commu nity that’s here, and there are so many good people.” BrightBox products include a confetti card, a curat ed and pre-selected mood box, or a build-your-own box for as little as $5.

“During the first 25 or 35 years, Charles was the salesman traveling throughout Utah on horseback, in a cart or on a bicycle,” Steinfels said. “He stayed in the homes of his clients as a welcome guest. He gained the nickname ‘Peach Tree Charlie’.” As automobiles started to become more common, Arthur Pettit leased one of the nursery buildings in 1925 and became the first person to use the site as an auto repair shop.In 1948, Charles sold the nursery prop erty to his nephew, Carl Smith, who had a home relocated to the northeast corner of the property. He added a concrete building on the east side of the nursery to use as a ser vice station which he ran until he retired in 1970. Charles’ daughter, Luana Smith, mar ried Blair Barton who purchased the prop erty from Carl and operated the auto repair shop until 1985, when he passed away. The property then passed to Roggery Cranney.
“Apparently, Roger used the proper ty as a furniture manufacturing business,” Steinfels said. “Roger was interested in auto racing and refurbishing vintage automo biles, and may have used the garage for that purpose. The history is a little vague at this point.”Michael Randall rented the auto shop in 2001 and opened Michael’s Main Street Garage. He later purchased the property and operated the shop until his death in 2017. In 2022, the Steinfels added their name to the legacy of this property when Russell opened the business under the name of Russell’s Main Street “RussellGarage.used to come and work for Mike and got to be good friends with him. He wasn’t aware of any of this [history] until his dad got interested,” Steinfels said. Russell and his twin sister, Rebecca, graduated from Viewmont High School in 1998. During high school, Russell flipped burgers at McDonald’s and found an in ternship at Davis Complete Auto where he learned the tricks of the trade. “If he wanted something, he would work hard to get it,” Rebecca said.
THE CITY When Fred Steinfels’ son opened Russell’s Main Street Garage in June 2022, the history buff in him began investi gating the property. He knew it had a historic significance in Centerville, but didn’t realize it had a 125-year legacy. The garage at 346 S. Main Street is the latest in a series of businesses that started in 1885 when Samuel Smith and Anson Call formed a partnership to start Davis Coun ty Nursery. Smith was a polygamist who moved his second wife, Mercy, and her small children, to a home on Calls’s property near the “Henursery.alsobrought his four sons with him,” Steinfels said. “Rosetta, his first wife, remained in Logan. Anson soon withdrew from the business leaving Samuel and his four sons as owners and operators of the nursery.”In1891 Smith built a three-room home on the west side of the nursery for his first wife, Rosetta. Two years later, while work ing on a kitchen expansion, Smith fell off the scaffolding, broke his neck and died. Smith’s four sons inherited the proper ty and founded the Smith Brothers Nursery and constructed several new buildings which are still used today. In 1912, Charles Smith bought out his brothers’ shares in the busi ness and brought in his three sons.

A historic Centerville property serves a new generation
“Period Products in Schools,” sponsored by Sen. Ann Milner and Rep. Karianne Lisonbee, was passed unanimously by the legislature this past session and signed into law. It requires that all schools provide access to free period products beginning with the 2022-2023 school year.
“There’s lots of research into medicine that will hinder or stop the progression of the disease. Lots of research in the UK yielded some great results,” Roberts said. “It’s in the group of Alzheimer’s and multiple sclerosis, as a neurologi cal disorder, so once we get one of those, it will be amazing.”
NORTH SALT LAKE—Over the next few weeks, more than 6,000 Aunt Flow free-vend dispensers for period prod ucts will be installed in public and charter school’s girls’ bathrooms across the state, including Davis County.
“Our recent work is making sure women and girls have access to period products,” said Emily McCormick, president and founder of Utah-based The Policy Project. “We’re trying to remove ‘period poverty.’ It’s interesting because usually you think that only happens in far away countries but it’s a big issue in the U.S.”
In students under 18, 82 percent have missed school be cause they don’t have access to products, she said. “Eight out of 10 girls missed class. That number is so ridiculous.”

Roberts, who was recently crowned Mrs. Utah Earth 2022, serves as the vice president for the HDSA’s Utah chapter and encourages families, friends and community members to walk together to help improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease.
It’s an issue that is really antiquated, she said. “It’s not a new idea. Toilet paper is necessary and it’s in public restrooms for everybody. Our hope is to redefine this general need.”
To bring awareness to the disease, the Huntington’s Dis ease Society of America will host Team Hope, the organi zation’s largest national grassroots fundraising event, which takes place in 100 cities across the country. In 15 years, it’s raised more than $20 million.

McCormick said The Policy Project researched how to implement disbursement of the products into more than 6,000 girls’ bathrooms. “We had to consider what type of materi als should be available, such as pads that are thick, pads with wings, etc. You can’t have a sixth grader playing basketball wearing a massive kind of diaper and she’s supposed to play like aAuntboy.”Flow was leaps and bounds ahead of anyone else, she said. “They know how to deal with this and their organic products consider women's anatomy, mobility and comfort. The dispensers are kid friendly and discreet.”
The Utah Team Hope Walk & 5K Run will be held Sat urday, Sept. 10 at 8:30 a.m. at Sugar House Park (1330 E. 2100 South). All proceeds will support HDSA’s mission to improve the lives of people affected by Huntington’s disease and theirPeoplefamilies.canvisit Utah.hdsa.org to register for the event.
There’s a clear window so you can see exactly what it is so it’s not a Theremystery.”hasbeen a desperate need for a solution like this, she said. “We want to eliminate the taboo and celebrate that this is a normal human experience.”
There’s a stigma around it and shame, said McCormick. “It’s embarrassing because it only happens to females, it’s something to keep quiet. There’s a silent need. It’s a big health issue. One in four teens can’t afford products so they’re scram bling to find something so they can go to class. It’s also a prob lem in the workforce.”

Private donations from the Larry H. & Gail Miller Foun dation and The Andrus Family Foundation made it possible to install the Aunt Flow dispensers and Aunt Flow organic cotton period products in schools, said McCormick. “The state will provide funding for ongoing products for the dispenser. We all workedAunttogether.”Flowfounder Claire Coder launched the company six years ago when she was 18, said Aunt Flow Senior Di rector of sales, Sara Djubek. “She was frustrated when she couldn’t find period products in the bathroom and she didn’t think anyone should have to go through that.” This gives children access to free products in the bath room, she said. “Many students can’t afford those products. We need to end period poverty. This is a problem affecting America and Utah as well.” The dispensers are easy to use, said Djubek. “All that’s required is pushing a lever and simply pressing inward.

Chelsea Roberts was 8 years old when her mother was diagnosed with Huntington’s disease. She remembers watching her mother’s decline from the fatal genetic disease that affects nerve cells in the brain. When Roberts was 19, her mother passed away. “It was hard. At that point she had suffered for so long, it was kind of a tender mercy. She fought so bravely and so hard. When you watch someone you love go through that for so long, you only want the best for them,” Roberts said. “I’m the only one out of my siblings that hasn’t been diagnosed with the disorder. My younger brother and sister both have testedToday,positive.”there are about 41,000 Americans with the dis ease and more than 200,000 at risk of inheriting the disease. People with the genetic marker have a 50% chance of pass ing it down to their children.
Participants can also set up a team and create a fundraising page.“I’ve just been in awe of the community and the sup port they’ve given my family over the years,” Roberts said. “We’re going to come together in the community to celebrate hope, to celebrate the ability to have a sense of community because it’s a really isolating disease. We want to bring to gether a plethora of people who are here to buoy you up and support you and advocate for a cure.”l

DeGraw hopes residents get interested in historic preservation to understand the community’s history. The program is based on a similar project in Ogden that’s had a lot of success. With two historic locations in Farmington, the Clark Lane National Historic District and the Farmington Main Street Historic District, the commission hopes this program will build on that leg acy. “It doesn’t have to be a home, it could be a barn or another structure,” Barney said. “We came up with a plaque design we thought people would want to have. A lot of these homeowners know a lot about the historical nature of their home.” l Darren DeGraw was the first Farmington resident to purchase an historic plaque for his home that was built in 1867. Residents can order plaques on the Farmington City website.
Historic plaque program available to Farmington residents
The Farmington Historic Plaque pro gram will help identify historic structures built at least 70 years ago with a plaque that can be placed on the property. Residents can apply for a plaque that can be mounted on the home, a fence or a post, for $100.
Upon request, the commission can as sist property owners with research on the site’s history and every application will be verified for historic significance.

F armington’s Historic Preservation Commission honors the city’s mot to, “Historic Beginnings,” by introduc ing a new program for residents who own buildings or structures that date back to Farmington’s origin.
Darren DeGraw has been a member of the commission for eight years. He became the first homeowner in the city to purchase a plaque and place it on his property. His guest home at 121 W. 600 North was built by the city’s founder, Hector C. Haight. De Graw renovated the structure to honor its heritage.“We want to preserve the homes for future generations so they can have access to great architectural work that was done in Farmington,” DeGraw said. “They’re so unique in how they were put together. We want to preserve that for everyone to see.”

“We are happy to partner with Amer ica First Credit Union that believes in small businesses,” said Utah Jazz CCO, Chris Bar ney. “The small business spotlight supports and emphasizes how essential small busi nesses are to our local community. Congrat ulations to the winner and all other finalists.”
“The program highlights and cele brates the city’s rich heritage,” said David Barney, chairman of the Farmington City Historic Preservation Commission. “We’ve got to keep the history alive.” The plaques are 9”x13” and feature the date the structure was built, the address and a brief description of the building’s histori cal significance.
Finalists in the contest were evaluated on how well they represent Utah, how much they give back to the community, and how this opportunity will help them achieve their business goals. The finalists were picked by a panel of judges composed of AFCU and Utah Jazz representatives, as well as com munity and business leaders.

2012 and 2019, an average of 10 deer-caused car crashes a year occurred in the city. Last year there was just one inci dent, he Thesaid.number of deer harvested has also dropped. In 2019 (statistics are not available for before that date) 14 deer were harvested. That number was 13 in 2020 and just five last year.Ackerson said there were some addi tional factors that caused last year’s number to be so low. “We believe fewer deer were harvested by us in 2021 due to the drought conditions. It did limit the deer in the city,” he said. There were also fewer police officers available to help with the program, he said.
CENTERVILLE—The Centerville City Council has renewed an urban deer control plan which has been in place since 2015 to help offset the conflict between humans and deer within city limits.

The Division of Wildlife Resources had previously approved the city’s certificate of registration pending passing of the deer con trol program. At the Aug. 2 meeting, the city council unanimously approved a three-year extension of the program, making it official. When the program was first introduced, “there was quite a backlash in the communi ty and fears were expressed that it wouldn’t be effective,” Councilmember George McE wan commented. He suggested the city post on social media the statistics shared by Ack erson. l

Urban deer control plan renewed for three more years Linda Petersen | l.petersen@mycityjournals.com
“The officers who are involved in the deer control programs, last year they had a lot of training going on.”
Of most concern to city and police de partment officials is reducing the number of deer-vehicle accidents in Centerville. A sec ondary issue is the nuisance urban deer are to farmers, gardeners and homeowners. Under the program, the police department harvests deer on property where the property owners have requested that it be done. “This is the plan we’ve utilized to de crease and limit the number of urban in our city,” Centerville Police Lt. Allen Ackerson told the city council at an Aug. 2 meeting. “There has been a conflict between property owners and the deer as well as a lot of is sues between moving vehicles and the urban deer.”In the early years the program was ad ministered by the parks department and vol unteers, but in 2019 the police department took that program over. Prior to that time, although the program had some successes, the number of incidents of deer-auto crashes was high, said Ackerson as he shared some statistics.Between
Most of those officers are “private ly avid hunters” and the time limits for the harvesting have interfered with the regular hunting season, he said. In response to that concern, last year the Division of Wildlife Resources extended the harvesting window from July to December. The city’s plan ensures that only autho rized personnel may harvest deer and strictly manages the process itself.
Following Hawkes’ collegiate career she began coaching club volleyball while also assisting on the Murray High staff. “I found that coaching the same girls in both high school and club made it difficult to be unbiased when making playtime decisions,” she said, as she transitioned to just coaching in the high school ranks.
“We are really excited about Kate’s enthusiasm and knowledge of volleyball,” Farmington High athletic director Kasey Walkenhurst said. “She has hit the ground running with the girls and we look forward to seeing how the team does this upcoming season and in the future.”

Farmington High begins volleyball season with new coach

“I look forward to building a program at Farmington High,” she said. “I have amaz ing assistants [Annie Beyer, who played at Bountiful from 2006 to 2009; Jenna Firth, who played for Woods Cross from 2003 to 2006; Sarah Mcphee and Stephanie Randolf seng] that know and love the game.”
100 W, Layton,
From there, she assisted at Viewmont and Woods Cross and will now be a firsttime head coach at Farmington. “I had a great volleyball experience in both high school and club and attribute most of that to my coaches, especially Jill Asay at Bountiful,” Hawkes said. “I found friend ship, confidence and a sense of belonging because of high school volleyball.” Hawkes, who lives in Farmington, wants to inject her love of the game on her players and bring daily effort and respect to the gym which will bring them together. “I believe that any group of players can be a successful team if they are willing to work for each other,” she said. “I also want a team that never gives up. It’s really hard to beat a team that doesn’t quit.” Her own background of playing middle blocker, outside hitter, right side hitter and defensive specialist throughout high school, club and college volleyball has given her the perspective to not limit her players to just one spot on the floor, and that’s how she said she will continue to coach.
UDOT has recently completed resurfac ing the southbound lanes of a stretch of I-15 from Pages Lane (1600 North) in Centerville to 2600 South in Woods Cross. The new surface, known as a bonded wear ing course, cost $3.5 million to install along the almost 4-mile stretch. The project, known as “I-15 Renewed; Centerville to Woods Cross (SB)” took place mostly at night from mid-July to mid-August to minimize disruption to the traveling pub lic. “This is a project to improve the road way and make it easier for people traveling I-15,” UDOT spokesman Mitchell Davis said. “I-15 is the most heavily-used corridor in the state of Utah.” The project is not part of any regularly scheduled maintenance. Instead, the south bound lanes in that area were chosen for this resurfacing due to several factors which in cluded more exposure to the elements and more visible wear and tear on those lanes than on the northbound lanes, Shaw said. Those lanes experience a consistently higher load due to a heavier morning com mute, he said. While the lanes see the same amount of traffic in the evening, that traffic is spread out over a longer time period, result ing in lighter stress to the roadway, he said. At this time, UDOT has no plans to resurface the northbound lanes along that stretch of I-15, Shaw said. l

“Love, Effort and Motivation” are the key components to what new Farmington High volleyball coach Kate Nelson Hawkes wants to build the Phoenix program around beginning this fall.

They’ve kind of been Davis County players here.” It will be purely retail and bring in 60 good paying jobs, said Smith. “The CRA is a long term investment into the community. It will generate three times as much proper ty tax over 15 years as opposed to not doing anything.”Ifthe property wasn’t developed the dis trict and county would receive property taxes anyway, he said. “They can say no and they wouldn’t be included. They’d collect the full amount they would have normally received on that property. But the county and district could see the value of putting it back into the development. Everyone benefits from it.”
CENTERVILLE—The Davis School District Board of Education approved a CRA (Community Reinvestment Area) with Cen terville City at last month’s board meeting for a new 80,000 square foot Young Powersports Mall to be built along the frontage road south of Kohl’s. The district is one of the taxing en tities on the property as well as the county. The property has a $6 million value now but the assessed value at the end of the 15 year CRA is $17 million, said Centerville As sistant City Manager Jacob Smith. “We have interlocal agreements for a site specific CRA. The participation rate for all taxing entities is 50 percent.”There’s a warehouse building and con tainers all stacked up along that road right now, said Smith. “There are weeds all over the place. It’s a blighted area. It’s in a flood zone, so Young Powersports will have to come in and do some clean up and remediation.” Smith said they have been in talks since last summer. “They let us know that they’d like to develop the area into a Young Power sports Mall. They’ll sell ATVs, trailers, etc. and do repairs on ATVs.” It will bring more traffic down the front age road that will help businesses there, he said. “We’ve had a difficult time keeping ten ants. This will create some synergy with the businesses in the area.” “It’s a big investment they’re making,” said Centerville Mayor Clark Wilkinson. “It evolved into a larger project than when it first started. It should be the largest Powersports Mall west of the Mississippi.”

In 15 years it goes back to normal for each of the entities from that point forward, said Smith. “The 50 percent would go away.” “This is nice for us,” said Wilkinson. “It will bring in sales and property tax dol lars. The long term forecast over the next four to five years is a potential of $62 million in growth sales, $400,000 of that would come to the city each They’veyear.”been good partners so far, he said. “They were big sponsors of our 4th of July celebration. It’s a really good team. They’ve done a good job reaching out to us. They asked for our help in naming it. It’s been a funTheproject.”Powersports Mall is expected to be completed by 2023, said Smith. “All I’ve heard is support and excitement for it to come in.” l

When it comes to emergency preparedness, there are 2 things you NEVER take chanc es on: Food and Water. Everything else, like sanitation, heating, cooling, light, shelter, etc. could be created during an emergency (if need be). But, if you don't have the right foods or clean water ahead of time, you won't find them in the supermarket if things get desperate enough. In this class, you will learn how to do food storage the right way, the first time! Come learn why mylar pouches may not be the best solution for your long-term storage, why many pre-made meals spoil long before their 25-year shelf-life claims, how and where to store your foods, and which foods will preserve long-term and which ones won't (the answers may surprise you).

“They’re learning how to listen,” Smith said. “A lot of times the piano is such a lone ly instrument where it’s just them, but hav ing to learn how to play along while accom panying a film is something piano students don’t always get to do.”
At the Megaplex Theatres at Legacy Crossing (1075 W Legacy Crossing Blvd.) in Centerville, more than 200 students and 18 teachers joined forces to present the annu al celebration on Aug. 6. The family-friendly recital was the brainchild of Heather Smith, who started the event seven years ago.
Most performers at Utah's 4th Annual Silent Film Celebration had never heard of Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. But now they’re experts after their music teachers gave them the assignment to learn a song that would accompany a silent film.
Silent film celebration teaches
While Hamaker no longer takes formal lessons, she still looks forward to the silent film recital each year. She admits that learn ing a musical instrument can be frustrating and even monotonous, but it can also pay off in a big“Youway.can really have fun with it,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be something that’s boring and something the parents are forcing them to do. We really see the fun side of mu sic and the fun of producing songs that oth ers can enjoy. That’s what continues to drive people to practice and maintain this skill their whole life. I think we’re learning that by being part of the silent film festival.” l
“A lot of these students, the majority of them, have never even watched a silent film before so we’re introducing them to this new art form they didn’t know existed,” Smith said.

Four years ago, Smith decided to make the recital a community event, raising mon ey for a worthy cause. This year, proceeds will go to purchase school supplies for kids living at the Safe Harbor Crisis Center. Students range from age 5 to adult and while most play the piano, sometimes oth er instruments are featured. Some teachers even have their students compose original music for the films. “It’s a collaboration between the stu dents and the teachers,” Smith said. “For my students, we decided we were going to play a lot of the music that would have been heard during that time period of the 1920s, so we’re doing a lot of jazz, rag and blues music.”Hamaker played a Scott Joplin piece on the piano for the event. She said the ex perience allows musicians to practice and collaborate together while providing friends and family with an engaging performance. Students also get to be part of a tradition that goes back more than 100 years when silent films first hit the big screen.
The celebration featured nine classic silent films that were shown throughout the day. Two pianos were set up so as soon as one performance was over, the second stu dent could start. It kept the music flowing through the short comedies and allowed a huge number of students to participate. Centerville resident Berkeley Hamaker just graduated from Viewmont High School. She’s been participating in the silent film event since the beginning.
“When I first heard about it, I loved the concept but I wasn’t able to envision what it would be like,” Hamaker said. “But once we had rehearsals I really understood how the music and the film worked together. It’s something I look forward to every year.”

Since Centerville police officers always take the standard Oath of Office (as outlined in the Utah Constitution) on their first day of service, Police Chief Paul Child wrote an Oath of Honor for new officers when they are ceremonially welcomed into the department. That evening, after Amy Cyr pinned his badge on her husband, Ackerson admin istered the Oath of Honor to him. The oath reads:“On my honor, I will never betray my integrity, my character, or the public trust. I will always have the courage to hold myself and others accountable for our actions. I will always maintain the highest ethical standards and uphold the values of my community and the agency I serve.” Mayor Clark Wilkinson then welcomed Cyr to the city.
“Officer Cyr, we’re thrilled to have you,” he said. “I know it was a process we went through to be able to find you; we’re grateful to have you.”

CENTERVILLE—The police depart ment has a new officer, bringing the city’s complement to 20 officers and filling the last vacancy. On Aug. 2, Lt. Allen Ackerson in troduced Officer Justin Cyr to Mayor Clark Wilkinson and the members of the city coun cil. Cyr, who is originally from upstate New York, began the first of his shifts the last week of August. He has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Hartwood College. He and his wife Amy “decided to come west and just chose Utah to settle,” Ackerson said. Cyr wanted to go into law enforcement and initially chose to serve in the highway patrol. He worked as a UHP trooper in the Green River area for two years after moving to Utah.“He spent a lot of time doing rural po lice work, dealing with criminal laws and not just traffic,” Ackerson said. Cyr transferred to the Davis County sheriff’s office a year ago. While there, he spent most of his time “doing traffic and not the criminal side,” Ackerson said. “He had a good relationship with several of our officers and I think they recruited him. He wanted to come over here and it worked out well.”
“My first introduction to Officer Cyr was an action that he took not against me but for me,” Wilkinson said of his first interac tion with Cyr while getting a trailer regis tered.Cyr is working in the patrol division, handling calls for service. The Cyrs enjoy spending time with their cats and dogs when they are not working.

“We’ve also been trying to just get a good look at the incoming players,” Hope said. “We have some positions to fill like a middle blocker and setters. So, it has been good to see what we have coming in and cre ate excitement for this season!”
Davis began the year hosting its Brown and Gold JV/sophomore tournament with their JV team placing fourth – “playing some great matches throughout the weekend,” ac cording to Barker. The sophomore squad fin ished seventh, “ending on a good win against Salem Hills,” Barker noted.

Farmington New head coach Kate Hawkes said that close to 60 girls were at team tryouts which made the selection process difficult, with her staff keeping more than 20 upperclassmen. “Several of the cut players will be acting as team managers, which goes to show that these girls love the sport and want to support each other even if they don’t get a jersey,” she said.With new leadership in the program, Hawkes said her focus was “creating a posi tive atmosphere in the gym,” and she is now looking for her players’ consistent efforts to show throughout the year. “I’d like to see the team show improvement from the beginning of the season to the end,” she said. “It’s one thing to be handed talented athletes, it’s an other to make them better than when they started.”Those on the 2022 Farmington squad are seniors Sophia Wendt, Mele Fiefia, Lyd ia Schwemmer, Maggie Humenansky, Mck enna Liwanag, Marissa Marchant and Joce lyn McQuivey; juniors Rachel Bell, Brinlee Galbraith, Jenna Goates, Brady Day, Rachel Shingleton, Kaylee Monroe, Ellie Pace, Annie Peck, Gracie Peck, Shelby Topham, Haley Welch, Iaina Whitney and Quincy Wilson; sophomores Rebecca Wangsgard, Addison Schmid, Callie Curtis, Clara John, Calia Miller, Sydney Smith and Ellyse Tay lor; and freshmen Ellie Schow, Ava Walton, Rylin Toone, Brynn Shroyer, Leah Pease and KyleeTheDay.Phoenix team began the season at the Brown and Gold (Davis) JV/sophomore tournament where their JV team won bronze with the sophomore squad coming in sixth place.

The top-ranked 5A team in the state en tering the season – in defense of their state title last year – returns to the court with the goal of “being stronger together than we are individually.” “We know that if we can fo cus on having high standards in our culture, processes and practices, then everything else will take care of itself,” said head coach Sar ah Chism, who is in her eighth year with the RedhawksThree-yearprogram.varsity starters Jordyn Har vey and Evalyn Chism return to lead Boun tiful again this year. “They were both key components to last year’s team and have been a big part of our program,” said coach Chism. “We will look to them to be leaders for us both on and off the court.” Chism also noted the return of middle blocker Taylor Harvey, senior Claire Cook and junior Elle Burleson. “Taylor will be a huge impact player for us both offensive ly and defensively. Look to see some big swings and blocks from her, even as just a sophomore,” coach Chism said. “Claire and Elle will both be returning starters as well that will take on different and bigger roles this season.”Othervarsity newcomers this season will be junior middle blocker Macie Johnson along with juniors Kaylee Simon and Hallie Hewlett and freshman Adelaide Stevenson who will be in specialist roles, according to CoachAlsoChism.onthe 2022 BHS team are junior Misha Eberhardt, sophomores Kira Aga mez, Elsie Breinholt-Mitchell, Ellen Davis, Audrey Derrick, Rachel Erickson, Ashley Fitzgibbons, McKenzie Morris, Gabrielle Packer, Abby Orme, Lethe Pututau, Evelyn Smith, Hannah White and Rynn Willard; and freshman Milika Satuala.

“Our approach every year is to prepare like we are playing ourselves,” coach Chism said. “We try to be our best opponent every day in practice and to compete as hard as we can so we know where we need to improve. Our focus will be on playing as a team and utilizing everyone’s individual strengths to become the strongest team we can be. We focus only on what we can control and work to get better every day regardless of the last point, game or season.”
At the Brown and Gold JV/sophomore tournament Aug. 12-13, the sophomore team placed first overall with a win over Morgan in the championship match with the JV team taking second, losing in the finals to Maple Mountain.Bountiful was scheduled to face Brigh ton, Maple Mountain, Davis, Morgan, Pleasant Grove and compete in the Ridge line JV/sophomore tournament Aug. 20 and the Rocky Mountain Champions Classic Sept. 9-10 to finish the preseason.

Evalyn Chism ran the offense with 32 assists while also putting away five kills and two aces. Defen sively, Burleson recorded 10 digs while also contributing on offense with five kills. “It was a good first outing for us,” Coach Chism said. “We have a lot to work on and we learned where we need to have our focus for the next few weeks.”
Barker said senior libero Cambria White, who transferred from Farmington be fore last year, and sat out varsity play due to transfer rules, will be a key player defensive ly for Davis. “She’ll bring consistency to our back row,” Barker said. Along the front line are returning senior outside hitters Aubrey Nielsen and Brinlee Bush along with junior Loryn Helgesen, se nior Averee Dorius and senior Leah Clark. “Practices have been so positive even though they are also competitive. Everyone is standing out,” Barker said. “We’re excited for the season and ready to go.”

JV coach Krysta Hamilton is taking some time off to take care of her young fam ily so Hope added Karl Lippa, who brings 17 years of coaching experience to the program, to replace Hamilton.
“Our football programs in Utah have been very competitive and the caliber of talent is out standing,” Oglesby said. “We are nationally rec ognized as one of the best states in cross country due to the elevation and the prolific athletes that high schools produce. The volleyball talent is ex ceptional as well. The fall sports lineup has some of our best student-athletes and there is always just an excitement at the beginning of the year with sports helping with that.”

“I really feel like we have a great group of girls. We have a great group of new freshman and sophomores this year,” Hope said. “I’m excited to see what they can do. It seems like they are a great group of girls both on and off the court.”
MIDVALE—High schools around the state have started their school years and with that the Utah High School Activities Association will be sanctioning new sports and changing rules that will be implemented this season and next. With over 160 schools and 100,000 students under the UHSAA umbrella, the organization plans on another successful year of young stu dent athletes against each other starting this fall. This will be the first school year of compet itive cheerleading starting in late January 2023 in Utah, as well as in the spring of 2024, boys volleyball will be a sanctioned high school sport by theOglesbyUHSAA.said that with boys volleyball in particular, it was a decision by their board mem bers whether or not to sanction the sport, and the process took years to come up with a solution.
“Our board took many years to look at the information and viability of the sport,” Oglesby said. “There were a lot of discussions including superintendents, principals of schools and our board members about gym spaces, funding and transportation. We gathered the information and made a decision as we will be having our first state championship in boys volleyball in 2024.”
The introduction of a shot clock this year in Utah High School girls and boys basketball has been deemed as a “game-changer” and it will change the way youthful players conduct deci sions when they are on the court. The reason why shot clocks weren’t in use at games last season was because, according to Oglesby, the National Federation of State High School Associations didn’t allow states to use a shot clock in competitions originally. “In state competitions, the NFHS didn’t allow the use of a shot clock before this school year,” Oglesby said. “Moving forward, they have allowed each state to decide whether they want ed to use the shot clock or not in state competi tions. Utah is a basketball state, and after having discussions with principals, superintendents and board members, the decision was made to imple ment the shot clock to raise the competitive level in ourRealignmentstate.” of schools is a topic that is dis cussed frequently within the UHSAA as to where to classify schools from 1A to 6A, depending on the number of students at a school to try to create an equal playing field.
“The goal of realignment is to group schools together with relatively the same size as oth ers and put them together into classifications.” Oglesby said. “School population and competi tiveness are the part of the process that is really designed to set up schools into those classifica tions, and giving the schools a chance to win a state Oglesbychampionship.”saidthat Utah has a high caliber of dominance and maintains a high skill level in sports like football, volleyball and cross country. The fall semester every year brings the same ex citement back to high schools and he can’t wait for the season to get started.

I’m gonna say no, because he’s been warning us about the devastating effects of climate change for 40 years, but no one can hear him. So here we are, surrounded by rising temperatures, severe storms, wildfires, drought, species extinction and the demise of the Choco Taco. If I was getting hot ter each year, I’d be okay with that, but when our planet gets even a touch warmer, things start to go awry. Our Great Salt Lake is facing some dire global warming effects. With the lake shrinking, Antelope “Island” has to use airquotes. The brine shrimp industry could go the way of the dinosaurs. And the lake is now officially called the Great Salt Lick. Scientists say a toxic dust cloud rising from the dried-up lake bed will prompt a new line of citrus-scented Pledge prod ucts to “Remove deadly arsenic from your home because you didn’t address this problem decades ago, idiot.”

Remember in the ‘70s, when it was discovered that chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol hairsprays were destroying the ozone layer, that thin layer of protection that absorbs radiation so we don’t get mi crowaved by the sun?
Everyone used aerosol hairspray to get big hair and sky-high bangs. In fact, Aqua Net was our school mascot. But when we learned the chemicals damaged our atmo sphere, there was a worldwide campaign to ban them -- and it happened. Everyone agreed the ozone was worth protecting and did something about it. Crazy, huh? Where’s that cohesion now? Remember in the spring of 2020, when people actually cared about trying to stop the spread of COVID-19? We isolated in our homes, playing endless games of Uno, Clue and Cards Against Humanity, until getting the disease didn’t seem so bad. Flights were canceled, millions of cars were off the roads, and introverts were having big celebrations. By themselves. In theirDuringclosets. those brief weeks, cities around the world showed an improvement in air and water quality. Even in Utah, the sky was bluer and the air was cleaner. Now we’re back in our cars and the air is trying to kill us. I recently walked through the Room of Extinction and Forewarning at the Utah Museum of Natural History, where dino saur bones are displayed, like the 90-footlong Barosaurus that was all neck and tail, and died 150 million years ago. A trophy wall of triceratops’ skulls stared down at me with hollow eyes and gaping jaws. Gi ant sloths and massive bears wandered this area 12,000 years ago. Of all the species that ever existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct. We could soon lose mountain gorillas, black rhinos, African forest elephants and orang utans.Here’s the thing, the Earth will be fine. It’s gone through climate cycles for 4.5 billion years. It’s watched civilizations rise and fall, and specialty soda shops fade into extinction. However, humanity is in a spot of “Buttrouble.theclimate is going to change anyway. Why is it our problem?” annoying peopleShutask.up. Yes, climate change happens naturally, but thanks to humans, the pro cess has sped up like a meteor breaking the sound barrier. I don’t want my grandchildren to wor ry about water and food and sharknados. We need to elect leaders who promote green solutions. We need politicians who care less about their pocketbook and more about the planet’s future. I believe in global warming because I’m not a knucklehead. It’s my fear that one day my skeleton will be displayed in a museum as an extinct species, with the sound of Al Gore quietly weeping through the speakers.
HILLAIR FORCE BASE–Gold medalist Olympians Justin Schoenefeld andAshley Caldwell are used to doing flips in the air – on snow – not in an F-16 Thunderbird flying high above the ground. The Olympic skiers were guests aboard the planes during a flight demonstration practice run Friday in preparation for the much anticipated Warriors Over the Wasatch Air show Saturday and Sunday at HillAir Force Base. “It was so insane,” said Caldwell when she was back on firm ground. “I didn’t know if I’d keep my food down. I can’t believe these guys do this all the time. It was tense.” “It was crazy,” said Schoenefeld. “It was like an elephant on your chest and your vision goes away for a minute. We were going 4G’s and I thought that was crazy then we went faster and I thought ‘oh gee.’” It was a real treat, said Lt. Col. RyanYingling. “It was unique and fun for us and fun for you guys. It was a blast. We got through everything and went into super sonic airspace and broke the sound barrier.” They started training on the F-16 early this morning, said Jake Impellizzeri, Thunderbird eight. “It was information by firehose. I putAshley through the wringer. We pulled 9G’s and 1.28 Mach. We did loops and rolls and she got some stick time. It was an honor.”What they do in the Olympics showcases a beacon of excellence, he said. “It’s doing something greater than ourselves.That’s what they represent. It's an inspiration to our team that’s what we try to achieve in theAir CaldwellForce.”said she’s trained her whole life to reach the Gold medal standard. “TheAir Force sets a high bar. I give a high performance in skiing and these guys give a high performance in a different way. It’s two different worlds.” An aerial doesn’t get any less scary, said Schoenefeld. “When I do a triple backflip I’m nervous every day. When we took off I thought ‘oh we’re about to go fast.’” It was absolutely incredible, said Caldwell. “My Gold medal went through the speed of sound. This was the highlight of my post Olympic experience. It was a dream come true and now it’s off my bucket list.”It’s hard to describe the indescribable, she said. “It’s like if a dragon and a unicorn had a baby strapped to a rocket ship. I’m so excited to be a part of this and I’m grateful for their service.” l Gold medalists break the sound barrier aboard Thunderbirds

A former high school football coach in Washington who was disciplined for holding a postgame prayer at midfield with his team saw his action protected by a Supreme Court ruling on Monday. By a 6-3 decision, the Court said Bremer ton High School Joseph Kenne dy’s prayers are protected by the Constitution’s guarantees of free speech and religious exercise, and the school board’s discipline of the coach was unwarranted.

Physicians in Utah may continue to provide abortions for patients until at least July 11. On Monday, Third District Court Judge Andrew Stone granted a request from Utah’s Planned Parenthood Association for a 14 day TRO. He said he felt allow ing the law to take immediate effect could cause “irreparable harm. Doctors here are threatened with felonies. The affected women are deprived of safe, local medical treat ments to terminate pregnancies.”
