State of care for kids in Utah has become dire situation

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SALT LAKE CITY—The child care industry is in crisis. Despite high tuition costs, early educators barely make a living wage. On the flip side, families can’t afford to pay for care outside the home – facing costs higher than college tuition. Child care advocates gathered at the Capitol last week to bring awareness to the problem.

“When you invest in the family you invest in the whole economy,” said Linda Stone of Moms Rising, a national nonprofit that deals with child care issues. “It’s a state issue that affects all of us. If I didn’t have someone to help me I wouldn’t be able to work.”

During the pandemic many lost their child care jobs, she said. “There has been a high turnover. Sixty-thousand centers closed and 150,000 workers left the profession.There’s no incentive other than a true love of children and learning.”

The legislature needs to help rebuild and invest in child care, said Stone. “They’re investing in the Great Salt Lake and vouchers but we want them to get child care on their brain. We can’t ignore the problem.”

“Most child care workers make less than dog walkers,” said Jenna Williams with Voices for Utah Children. “People think child care facilities are flush with cash. That’s not true, they’re barely making ends meet.”

It’s a dire situation, she said. “Only 35 percent of the state’s child care needs are being met. We want the legislature to pay attention to this issue and care about providers. They were already hurting and now it’s even worse.”

Holly Kingston has provided child care out of her home in West Jordan for 12 years. “I struggled for a while,” she said. “I couldn’t charge enough to make it a quality program. It’s difficult to provide

Governor signs education funding bill for teacher raises and school choice

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SALT LAKE CITY—A controversial bill that provides $8,000 scholarships to qualifying families for private schools and a $6,000 pay raise to teachers passed through both the House and Senate last week and was signed by the governor on Jan. 28.

HB215 caused a debate about whether taxpayer money should be diverted from public schools into private schools. The bill is intended to give parents a choice in education. Senate Majority Assistant Whip Sen. Kirk Cullimore sponsored the bill.

“I’m ecstatic the bill passed,” he said during media availability following the vote. “To get the support from the House and Senate is thrilling.”

This won’t be implemented for about a year and a half so that gives us an opportunity to look at this and fine tune it, said Cullimore.

“Many states have done this and been very successful,” said Senate President Stuart Adams. “We’re getting good ideas from them. The bill is crafted after those states.”

Sen. Kathleen Riebe, D-Cottonwood Heights voiced her concerns about the bill. “I’m a veteran teacher,” she said. “I think it needs a lot more accountability and transparency. Teachers will enjoy the raise short term but the long-term impact to the education

Following last year’s explosion in home prices, real estate markets are seeing something like a reset to pre-2022 level as fears of a recession and higher lending costs cut into the boom in housing that saw what many experts believe was a temporary bubble in pricing.

The last increase in average home prices was noted in October of last year, and the average price has been falling ever since. The future of the housing market is seen as mostly dependent on the Federal Reserve’s actions moving forward with regard to the prime interest rate.

Public education is what historically has made us different from other countries in the world. It is the great equalizer for the American dream.

Pastor committed to giving voice to the voiceless

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

CLEARFIELD—Reverend France A. Davis is all about moving from hatred to love. Davis served as pastor at the Calvary Baptist Church in Salt Lake for 45 plus years and has made it his mission to bring people together in harmony.

“I’m following the lessons of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,” said Davis. “He taught with love instead of hate. People might say you’re not worthy but he said ‘you have worth. You are valued and should be treated with respect.’”

Davis not only admired King but walked alongside him in the 1965 march from Selma, Alabama to Montgomery. “I was a student at Tuskegee University that was made famous by George Washington Carver,” he said. “We were marching to bring attention to the world because Blacks weren’t allowed to register so they couldn’t cast a vote. We got voting rights passed and people were able to cast aside issues that limited the right to register and to vote.”

They made a positive difference for people, said Davis. “The prior issue was separate but equal. Blacks were separate from Whites but it was not being practiced in 1965.”

King believed in nonviolent protest, Davis said. “He was always committed to nonviolent civil disobedience. He could see the stronger value of nonviolence as opposed to violence.”

Growing up as a young man in Georgia, Davis said he saw that the law was different for his skin color. “I made a long-term commitment and goal to get laws that responded to people as human beings not because of their skin color.”

In 1970 Davis came to Utah. “I continued to fight for equal rights and acceptance,” he said. “The same rights in the state of Utah. We got the fair housing act passed and Martin Luther King Day on the third Monday made a legal holiday and got a street named after him.”

Davis is an Adjunct Associate Professor Emeritus at the University of Utah in Communications and African American Studies and has authored several books. He retired in 2019. He was also part of the interfaith group who worked with the 2002 Olympics.

Initially Davis said he had problems with housing and being accepted. “I was just as qualified as many.”

Utah has come a long way in the last 45 to 50 years, he said. “It’s changed in many ways. The LDS church changed its position on the African curse and others apologized for their treatment of Blacks.”

Davis said he still has a good relationship with religious leaders in

25k for 25; Kneaders awards local student scholarships

By Alisha Copfer alisha.c@davisjournal.com

One of Utah’s favorite bakeries, Kneaders, recently celebrated its 25th anniversary by giving back to those who have helped shape the restaurant: their employees. Colleen Worthington, owner and founder of Kneaders, personally contacted each of the 10 employees to inform them of their prize. Each one received a $2,500 scholarship to enable them to pursue their post-secondary education goals.

“We love the people who work for us and want the best for them,” Worthington said. “We’re giving back to the kids who work for us so that they can live their best lives and dreams.” She also said that education is extremely important to her family. This love of school started with her grandmother and her large family, who all graduated from college in the early 1900s.

“It’s hard to believe that it has already been 25 years,” said James Worthington, CEO of Kneaders. “To have had the opportunity to bring our vision of creating a place that communities can ‘come home to’ and rely on for simple and honest food to over 50 places across the country has been a dream come true. We would not be where we are today, celebrating this incredible milestone, if it were not for the dedicated and enthusiastic employees that have backed us along the way. It only felt right to make them the center of our celebration by giving back to those that have given so much to us.”

Kneaders’ employees had an opportunity to submit a video explaining why they wanted the scholarship. The Worthingtons and other management reviewed each

video. “We looked at personal and educational sacrifices that these students were making. We also considered performances in school and at work, as well as what they were giving back to the community.”

The scholarships were available for all employees currently pursuing post-secondary education throughout the company’s 51 locations across six states (Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Texas). A scholarship selection committee comprised of Kneaders’ founders, executives and corporate teams reviewed and selected the top 10 candidates based on applicants’ videos expressing how their education will shape them and their various communities. Each winner will use the scholarship to pursue their dreams, some of which include becoming a child psychologist, math teacher, anesthesiologist, nutritionist and more.

“I have had so many opportunities to grow with Kneaders,” said Caitlyn Nye, a scholarship recipient at the Kaysville store. “The reason I’ve stayed for so long is that I love the company, the people and the food. I love the community at Kneaders and it’s been a good fit for me.”

Nye started working for Kneaders in August 2019 when she was 16 years old. Now 19, Nye continues to work as an hourly manager on Saturdays while she attends Weber State University. She is working on her master’s degree in Secondary Education as a math teacher. “I was totally excited and overjoyed when I got the call from Colleen,” said Nye. “It was really kind of exciting for me to find out that I got [the scholarship]. I’m really grateful for this opportunity; it’s a huge blessing for me.”

“What impresses me about Kneaders is how they care about your individual

growth,” Nye said. “I’ve done cross-training and leadership training, which has made me a better employee and taught me valuable lessons that I can take into my future, and now Kneaders is helping me pursue my educational dreams with this scholarship. I’m so grateful for the support Kneaders has shown me and continues to

show me throughout my years working here.”

These scholarships are only the start for Kneaders. The company continues to build on the accomplishments from the past 25 years and to further invest in all of its employees and communities. l

Senate bill intended to protect victims of domestic violence

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SALT LAKE CITY—A tearful

Nichole Schmidt shared the story of her daughter Gabby who lost her life at the hands of her boyfriend in an act of domestic violence.

Schmidt and Gabby’s father Joe Petito were at the Capitol on Monday to show support for a bill that is meant to protect those who are in a violent situation with an intimate partner. Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson was also at the press conference to speak on behalf of her cousin Mandy who was killed in August.

Sen. Todd Weiler is sponsoring SB117 Domestic Violence Amendments that would mandate law enforcement to go through the Lethality Assessment Protocol (LAP) questionnaire with the victim when they are called to an intimate partner domestic violence incident. The bill passed unanimously out of the Senate on Monday and was headed to the House.

“The LAP only takes a few minutes,” Weiler said. “The most important question is ‘has he or she threatened to kill you or choked you before?’ If someone chokes in anger there is a high percentage that it will happen again. If the officer believes the victim is in danger they connect them with help.”

The bill also calls for a private database so when police respond they can run a name through it to see if that person has been involved in a domestic violence incident before. “If I get pulled over the police can run my license to see if there is a warrant out for my arrest,” said Weiler. “The police don’t have that for domestic violence. If they would have had that it might have prevented Mandy’s tragic death.”

“This is an important issue,” said Henderson. “The latest numbers show that 22 percent of homicides in Utah are by intimate partners who have prior interaction with law enforcement.”

If the LAP had been used

Gabby would still be here today, said Petito. “We can’t save Gabby and Mandy but we can save other lives.”

The questions are important but it’s what follows that matters, he said. “We need resources, advocates, shelters. There are more animal shelters than domestic violence shelters by 2-1. That’s mind boggling. The goal is to get to where no (domestic violence) shelters are needed.”

Victims should know they are important, said Petito. “The world is a better place with you in it. You should not fear the one you love.”

“There was the horrible tragedy in Enoch,” said Weiler. “The oldest daughter had been choked by her father and told the police. This bill is only for intimate partners but I hope it makes all of us think about what we can do to give more help.”

“The LAP helps survivors get

to a safe place,” said Schmidt. “I believe if Gabby’s case had been handled properly she would be alive. We’ve taken the lead to fight. We’ll go wherever we can to help.”

“Lives are at stake here,” said Petito. “Domestic violence is a serious issue.”

This is ongoing, Schmidt said. “We’ll work together to be part of the process. If we make a difference now and it saves lives we’ll do whatever we can.”

“We will not stop until domestic violence is eradicated,” Petito said. “If you are in fear of a loved one and you think you might be in danger, let someone know so you can take steps to find a way to exit the relationship. You deserve to be here.”

“You might think the relationship is normal,” said Schmidt, “But by the time you realize it’s not normal it’s too late.”

Legislature kicks off ‘Water Week’ to highlight the state’s needs

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SALT LAKE CITY—There has been an ongoing effort to pull Utah out of a severe drought and to save the Great Salt Lake. Last year the legislature appropriated more than $50 million directly to the Great Salt Lake and will spend $500-$600 million this session. In addition to the Great Salt Lake, lawmakers are focusing on innovative ways to conserve water. The House and Senate held a press conference on Monday to kick off “Water Week” at the legislature.

“This is not just a Utah problem,” said Senate President Stuart Adams. “It’s a multi-state problem that deserves foresight to address water issues head on to plan for the next 100 years and beyond.”

The legislature gave historic funding last session to create a lasting solution for Utah and the western states, he said. “We’re looking for a long term solution – not just a Band-Aid.”

As always, Utah is the one who will lead out, said Adams. “But we need collaboration from the other states for water development. We have to think bigger than we have before and find out-of-the box solutions. We have to make smart investments today.”

“We’re not only the fastest growing

but the second driest state in the nation,” said Speaker Brad Wilson. “The Great Salt Lake has risen a foot so far but that doesn’t wipe out two decades of drought. We have to change the way we think about the second driest state. Future generations will be grateful we did.”

Wilson said they will develop a Unified Authority that oversees the Great Salt Lake. “We’ve done remarkable work but this gives us the opportunity to do even better to highlight the needs of the lake. They’ll speak with one unified voice about what’s happening and consolidate efforts into one office made up of the Governor, Senate President and Speaker. It’s the only one in the state.”

“The water we drink today was developed by our grandfather, great grandfather and great great grandfather,” said Adams.

“We’re looking for generational solutions.”

Utahns saved 10 billion gallons of water last year through voluntary conservation, said Wilson. “We will continue to invest and educate so there is a clear line of sight about what we can do to conserve water.”

“Utah will not dry up on our watch,” said Adams. “We can and will fix our water problems.”

“We all have a role to play,” Wilson said. “We may never see the impact of this but this is a race we can’t afford to lose.” l

JOE PETITO AND NICHOLE SCHMIDT talk to the media about their daughter Gabby who was killed by her boyfriend. They believe if law enforcement had used the Lethality Assessment Protocol her death could have been prevented.

For the past two weeks the unusually stormy weather has decreased the attendance at Davis High School to an alarming degree. Monday only seventy percent of the students enrolled were present. Tuesday eighty percent were there. The Clinton and Syracuse buses were unable to get through Monday, but Tuesday students from these towns were able to reach school, though in a most unique way – they came in bob-sleighs. Those living in Val Verde and Woods Cross have been partially snowed in for some time but the roads are being opened and attendance from these parts will soon be normal.

Nathaniel Lynn Dodd was charged in January with second-degree felony domestic violence aggravated assault resulting in serious bodily injury and third-degree felony assault, pattern of domestic violence.

According to the probable cause statement, Dodd and the woman had a confrontation at a storage business in Layton on Dec. 5, 2022. Video surveillance showed the two arguing and the woman trying to break a window of a vehicle to get out some property. After chasing the woman away, Dodd allegedly left her belongings on the ground. When she returned to get the items, Dodd allegedly moved toward her so she pulled out a handgun.

The woman dropped the gun when Dodd allegedly pushed her into the storage unit and allegedly put her in a chokehold causing her to go unconscious. Then Dodd allegedly carried her into the storage unit and left, according to the video.

Dodd had strangled the woman to unconsciousness on three other occasions, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10, 2020 and Jan. 19, 2021, the Davis County Attorney’s Office said.

Kaysville Fire Department offers fire extinguisher tips

1. Take the extinguisher out of the box and place it in your kitchen near your cooking space. Cooking fires are the leading cause of residential structure fires in the United States. A readily accessible extinguisher could be the difference between a burned pan and re-building your home.

2. Remember the acronym PASS when using your extinguisher:

• Pull. Pull the pin.

• Aim. Aim the nozzle at the base of the fire.

• Squeeze. Squeeze and hold the

trigger.

• Sweep. Sweep back and forth until the fire is controlled.

3. Know when to use your extinguisher. If the fire is not too larger and it is contained to a single item, such as a kitchen pot, you’re likely safe to stay and extinguish the fire. If the fire is larger or it is producing a lot of smoke and heat, it is time to put the extinguisher down and promptly exit your home. Call 911 from a safe location after exiting the structure.

4. Ensure that you have the right extinguisher for the fire. You should have an ABC extinguisher at home, which can effectively extinguish ordinary combustibles, flammable liquids, and electrical fires. This will cover most fires in your home; however, if you happen to be deep-frying at home and the cooking oil catches on fire, your extinguisher may not be effective. For cooking oil fires, extinguish the flames by covering them with a lid or other smothering device. Never use water in an attempt to put out cooking oil fires.

Beware of scam calls

The Bountiful Police are warning residents to be aware of possible scam calls claiming there is a warrant out for their arrest, they missed jury duty or have unpaid taxes, etc. This is a scam, a BPD Facebook post said. “They will say we will come and arrest you if you don’t pay the fine. This is not us and we will not be coming to arrest you,” the post said. “The best course of action is to end the phone call and block the number. Do not provide any personal information and remember the government does not accept payment via gift cards.”

OPINION

Federal sales tax idea deserves a fresh debate

Since the Grand Old Party gained a majority in the U.S. House, the Republicans have made several missteps, one of which could raise havoc with the U.S. economy. At the same time, however, some conservatives are rightly pushing for a potential replacement of the federal income tax.

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

On the negative side, the GOP (including all four of our congressmen) are playing with fire – torching the economy – by refusing to raise the national debt ceiling. Granted, spending is out of control, but the raise in the debt ceiling simply says the country will pay its bills, those already voted on and spent by Republicans and Democrats.

Look at it this way: If your spouse runs up a bill (with your knowledge) on your joint credit card for purchases at Nordstrom or Home Depot, you cannot just balk at paying.

All you can do is work with your spouse at reducing future spending.

Not raising the debt limit makes America a deadbeat, catastrophic for interest rates and cost of goods. The impact of a slacker nation not paying its bills will mean delays or cutbacks in military/government paychecks and Social Security/Medicare/Medicaid payments, affecting a majority of American citizens.

Making it even worse, Republicans cut back the additional funds for the Internal Revenue Service. As much as you might despise and fear the IRS, it’s one of the few governmental agencies that brings in money rather than spending it. In halting funding, the Republicans are rewarding tax cheats, not average taxpayers.

But the GOP deserves credit for House passage of the Fair Tax Act, which if rewritten could lead to a fairer system by substantially reducing the federal income tax and instituting a federal sales tax.

Our current income tax is a mess. If you want to avoid income tax, just avoid regular income – and the wealthy do just that.

How do we unscramble the cracked eggs in life?

(Remember Donald Trump publicly saying he was “smart for not paying income taxes.”)

Since the late 1970s, the average tax rate paid by the wealthiest sliver of Americans has fallen by more than half while the average rate for the bottom 90% has increased.

For the wealthy (one-half of one percent of taxpayers), upgrade your Gulf stream jet and deduct it as a business loss. A super-wealthy casino owner in Nevada set up 10 different grantor-retained annuity trusts which over three years knocked off nearly $3 billion in lawfully-owed taxes. My father, a wage-earning printer in the early 1960s, paid $302 one year in federal income taxes; that same year, J. Paul Getty, one of the country’s wealthiest men, paid only $504.

The Fair Tax Act favored by Republicans would replace the income tax totally. That won’t happen, but reducing the income tax and replacing a portion of it with a federal sales tax makes sense.

A sales tax stops tax avoidance and tax dodges. Everyone pays something – and everyone should since even the poor benefit from highways, military defense, and clean water, etc. The rich pay more in actual dollars; the sales tax on a Ruth’s Chris dinner is more than a McDonald’s value meal. And a sales tax puts a stop to the non-taxed underground economy; even cash-based drug dealers have to make purchases.

Those opposed to the sales tax say the rich would pay a smaller portion of their income/assets. But under the current system, tax lawyers, loopholes, and special deductions already reward the wealthy.

The federal sales tax idea deserves a fresh debate and Republicans deserve some credit.

Whether we’re talking about exercising, or taking on new possibilities, or raising kids, or facing challenges that may seem intimidating or overwhelming, the dynamics are the same. With all of these and a thousand more, ultimately, everything will be converted into something beneficial. So don’t complicate the process by losing faith in yourself. The fact is that this is the initial step of “unscrambling the cracked egg.”

no end to the trials and challenges that complicate our course. When this happens, it helps to look at things differently.

In the song written and performed by Louis Armstrong titled What A Wonderful World, the lyrics remind each of us that we need to focus more on the beauty in life rather than the storms and difficulties. That seems to be a starting point for unscrambling the egg. He wrote: I see leaves so green, and red roses too, I see them bloom for me and you, and I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies so blue and clouds so white. The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

Yes, this world is an amazing world, but there are times that the light seems to dwindle and the problems seem to expand. On those occasions, simply being optimistic may fail to bring peace of mind immediately. In spite of our commitment to enjoy the colors of life, it may seem that there is

I’m referring to the 4 C’s of managing life. They’re simple and easy to remember and they help us move through problems and challenges that can otherwise take away our serenity and peace of mind. You didn’t Cause the problem – You can’t Cure it – You can’t Control it – But you can Cope with it. Life can seem to be full of chaos, and some people may not like you for some reason that is beyond your comprehension. Decide to not let the chaos of others make you sick. Some of those people may not be ready to get well. You can accept that piece of knowledge and understand that they’re on a different course than you are. Move on with your own life. You’re stronger than you believe. Your future is yours. Enjoy your freedom.

A Bit of a Stretch

If you’d told me 20 years ago that I’d be a yoga instructor, I’d have laughed hard enough to tear a hamstring because I was very inflexible.

BY PERI KINDER

I took my first yoga class as a dare. My tennis instructor laughed at how tight I was and challenged me to try yoga. I hated every minute of that stupid class. I hated the words and I hated the poses and I hated the teacher and I loathed downward facing dog with a fiery passion.

But I realized my tennis instructor was right. My muscles were as tight as two-byfours, but less bendy. So I kept going back to yoga. Hated it every single time.

After about two months of practicing yoga, I noticed, little by little, my flexibility was improving. I could almost touch my toes without the usual amount of grunting and tears. My hips didn’t scream out loud while doing pigeon pose. My shoulders dropped away from my ears, where I’d held them at strict attention for decades. Even my back stopped hurting each time I rolled out of bed.

I grudgingly had to admit yoga wasn’t the hippy-dippy dumpster fire I thought it was. But learning the poses was just the beginning. As I explored yoga’s history, philosophy and favorite recipes, I came to realize yoga was a lifestyle that encouraged, nay demanded, self-love and compassion.

Yikes. As a lifelong subscriber to self-loathing, I wasn’t sure how to handle that type of ideology. Just like when I started the physical practice, I took lots of tiny, baby steps toward accepting myself as a worthy human.

Fast forward 20 years and not only do I teach yoga but I LOVE yoga with a fiery passion. Yoga has changed me in so many ways. I used to be sarcastic, cynical and snarky but after studying yoga for so many years, I’m a sarcastic, cynical and snarky yoga instructor. See. People change.

I’m also much less judgmental. I’m not so hard on myself and I give most people the benefit of the doubt. Most people. Maybe someone can propose a bill that would require our legislators to take a yoga class each morning before discussing the divisive and harmful bills proposed this year. Okay, when it comes to our lawmakers, I’m still pretty judgmental.

Being a yoga instructor is super silly. As an instructor, I get to say things in class that don’t make a whole lot of sense, and my students listen to me!

I’ll say, “Breathe in through your collar bones, breathe out through your kneecaps. Inhale to fill up your armpits, exhale to release tension in the ear lobes.”

Or I’ll instruct students to “Melt into the mat, send energy out of your fingertips, ground through your sitz bones, wring out your body and lengthen the crown of your head.” And I’m totally serious. (Laugh emoji)

My yoga practice has evolved from trying to do the most difficult poses and making my students sweat and swear, to focusing on deep stretches and stress-reducing breathing exercises.

It isn’t about who can be the bendy-est or the one who can hold crow pose for five minutes. It’s about appreciating what my body can do today. Not what I think it should do or what I want it to do tomorrow, but what it can accomplish right now.

I appreciate all the yoga teachers who took this rigid block of a body and mind and transformed it into a pliable, warm and accepting human being. My hamstrings thank you.

LIFE & LAUGHTER

WHAT TO WATCH

courtesy of Sundance Institute

The Accidental Getaway Driver

The winner of this year’s Directing Award – U.S. Dramatic, “The Accidental Getaway Driver” isn’t the movie you think it will be. Rather than an exciting heist film, it’s the story of the heartbreaking, beautifully profound relationship that grows between an escaped convict and the elderly Vietnamese cab driver the group of convicts take hostage. Director Sing J. Lee weaves the cab driver’s past in through his present experiences, building the portrait of a man isolated by his past traumas. The younger convict becomes his mirror, a Vietnamese man completely cut off from his past and anything resembling a home. The relationship between them is delicately built through every tense moment, resulting in a heartbreaking, beautifully tender finale.

Going Varsity in Mariachi

Winner of the Jonathan Oppenheim Editing Award, “Going Varsity in Mariachi” is the wholesome, heartwarming story of a group of mariachi band students trying to succeed in state competitions. It has several nice moments, including a wayward student recommitting to the band and a young mariachi student saying goodbye to her teacher after graduation. The problem is that it never seems to go quite deep enough, never letting us really feel like we’ve gotten to really know these kids or understand the effect mariachi music has had on their lives.

Shortcomings

You could call this one an anti-romance, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The story of a deeply unpleasant man finally coming to understand just how much of a jerk he is, it’s the absolutely fantastic cast that keeps you going through the awkward bits. Justin H. Min is particularly good as the jerk in question, always watchable even when you want to punch him in the face.

Onyx the Fortuitous and the Tal-

isman of Souls

This deeply unusual comedy starts out as the cringiest of cringe comedies, endearing only to a very limited audience. If you're patient with the movie, however, this story of the ultimate outcast finding his people manages to find its own strange sweetness. You might even find yourself a little emotionally invested in these weirdos, who go up against evil with the mightiest weapon of all – the power of friendship.

Chanshi

This Indie Episodic entry has a very specific sense of humor, deeply influenced by Israeli culture and all the corresponding stereotypes. The story of a young Jewish woman who goes to Israel to avoid an arranged marriage is based on real experiences, but it’s also a broad comedy with a lot of sex and several moments that verge on parody. I don’t know enough about the culture to know if it’s playing with the stereotypes or simply giving into them, but the moments of seriousness that appeared at the end of the Sundance selection of episodes was welcome.

Short Film Programs 1 and 5

Though festival favorite “The Evacuation of Mama Emola” wasn’t available for online viewing, there were still some gems available in both short film programs. Program 1 had “Help Me Understand,” an unexpectedly moving riff on “12 Angry Men” featuring a group of women trapped in a product test, and “Parker,” a beautiful little documentary short about a family changing their name. Short Film Program 5 kicks off with the incredibly tense, timely immigration story “I Have No Tears and I Must Cry.” It also has “Headdress,” a fun, surprisingly relatable look at the difficulties that come from juggling all the different parts of our identity.

Scrapper

Winner of the World Cinema Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic, “Scrapper” is the beautifully acted, unexpectedly sweet story of a scrappy orphan girl reconnecting with her long-absent father. Though there are

some moments when it reads like a grittier version of a Hallmark movie, the performances keep it grounded. Lola Campbell is fantastic as Georgie, a good-hearted, intensely loyal troublemaker who tries hard to hide her sadness. Harris Dickinson, better known for more polished roles, is surprisingly affecting as a young man desperately trying to grow up and struggling with the process. Ali Uzun adds just the right amount of sweetness as Georgie’s equally loyal sole friend. Together, the three of them create a quiet magic that makes it impossible to look away.

Radical

This year’s Festival Favorite winner, “Radical” is a warm-hearted, occasionally heartbreaking entry into the world of inspirational teaching movies. Based on a true story, “Radical” features Eugenio Derbez as a teacher who brings some unusual ideas to an impoverished Mexican border town. The movie is good at balancing the harsh economic realities of the children’s lives with moments of real joy, guided by the Derbez’s earnest charm. It’s firmly made from a Spanish cultural perspective, which means that tragedy is both more prevalent and handled differently, but there are also some quietly beautiful moments that will linger with you.

The Persian Version

Winner of both this year’s Audience Award: US Dramatic and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, “The Persian Version” looks at family and cultural pain through a fresh, witty lens that doesn’t lessen the inherent heartbreak. Told from the perspective of both a mother and daughter trying to make a connection across both family secrets and a deep cultural divide, the movie uses fourth wall-breaking narration to give both women a voice. Though a part of me wishes the movie could go deeper than it does, giving the characters the same understanding of each other that we have of them, it’s still a fun, moving story told in a brand-new way.

Blueback

This quiet, thoughtful movie is both a meditation on a mother-daughter relationship and the importance of protecting the environment. Not a lot happens, and what does occur is mostly in flashbacks, but it’s enough to paint a portrait of two women who love the environment but can’t do it in quite the same way. It would be a richer movie if any of this was explored more deeply, but what is there has a mellow loveliness to it that makes it easier to forgive the absences.

The Tuba Thieves

One of those movies that are more admirable than watchable, “The Tuba Thieves” isn’t really about either theft or tubas. It’s a thought experiment trying to communicate what the world is like for a deaf person, then playing with that using everything from the visuals to the placement of the closed captioning. It’s interesting if you approach it from an analytical standpoint, but for a regular audience member it gets tiring quickly.

Beyond Film

A quick tour through the Sundance’s annual offerings of film-related discussions made it clear there are definite tonal differences. The Cinema Café discussions are light and breezy, true conversations more than panels, and come off as consistently interesting no matter what the topic. The Big Conversation discussions are all about weightier themes, often including professors as well as industry people. The insights are more universal, but if you’re not really interested in the topic it’s harder to stay engaged. Power of Story is the most formal and panel-like of the Sundance discussions, and this year’s came off as particularly dull because the moderator and panelists had different ideas on what the discussion should be about.

Nurse has a passion for helping those struggling with mental illness

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—For years, mental illness has been something no one wanted to talk about or acknowledge. More effort is being made to shine a light on the problem and dispel the stigma that comes with it but there’s more work to be done.

“We don’t have enough services,” said Sindi Byerly, a Davis County nurse who works in mental health with adolescents and adults. “Everything is swept under the rug and society has paid for that.”

Mental illness is the fastest growing health problem, she said. “If we don’t recognize it and can’t get a handle on it, it can destroy a person.”

Byerly knows first hand what that is like. “My mom was bipolar and my daughter died of a heroin overdose in 2019,” she said. “My passion is in mental health. I can relate to them because of my experience. I know how they feel. I saw my daughter go through that struggle.”

The pandemic made things worse, said Byerly. “Mental health is often nonverbal to get that reassurance. Nonverbal communication has a lot to do with how you react to things. You can’t get that with just your eyes. Even a baby looks for facial expressions.”

Byerly didn’t pursue nursing until later in her career. “I was actively involved with my kids and owned my own business while they were growing up. I went back to

school and someone said ‘you need to be a nurse.’ I’d always wanted to be a nurse. I went to nursing school and loved it.”

The year after Byerly got her nursing license she became the director of nursing at a treatment facility for patients with schizophrenia and addiction. She also worked at an adolescent treatment center with kids who had similar problems.

“Working in the mental health field is

not for everyone,” said Byerly. “It takes the right person to work there. You have to hold down your boundaries and be able to separate them. You have to check it at the door when you go home but I still have it in the back of my head.” Byerly went back to school to get a master’s degree in leadership administration but had to decide whether to stay in mental health. “I had a hard time after my daugh-

ter died,” she said. “I wondered ‘what am I doing here?’ but after going through the grieving process I said ‘yes this is where I belong.’”

Outside of work, Byerly is a crafter and owned a rubber stamp business with her mother for 12 years. “My mother was an artist,” she said. “She designed a whole line of rubber stamps.”

Byerly said she crafted with her girls. “When they had a birthday in school I crafted something for every kid in the class instead of giving candy. I’m a giver. I like to give people things. It’s my therapy – it makes me happy.”

She also rides motorcycles with her husband Terry who is a photographer. “I love to take pictures with him and look for Indian petroglyphs,” said Byerly. “We go all over the Western states looking for that. There is so much to see around us. If you don’t, you’ll never know what’s there or what you’ve missed. Life is too short to sit around and not enjoy what’s around you.”

Don’t get caught up in the stress of life, said Byerly. “Stop and enjoy it. My parents died young. I say live life to its fullest. Grab the bull by the horns and go.”

Every day is a gift, she said. “We can be positive and look at the brighter side of things and when the bad days come we can’t let them consume us. If I can be that positive person for someone then that’s what I need to be. You never know what kind of impact you can have on someone else’s life.” l

In an effort to stay up-to-date and become more mobile friendly, the Davis County Library has updated its website. “Our new website has been coming for a while –we’ve been working with the Davis County Information Systems Department since early 2021,” said Josh Johnson, Director at the Davis County Library.

Along with this update, the library has also included new reservation software to help reserve meeting rooms. Another addition is the event calendar software. “What we were using was adequate, but the software upgrade will modernize and simplify the process for both patrons and staff,” said Johnson.

The new website and software upgrades

are designed to be easier to navigate, more intuitive and more mobile friendly. “I think the most relevant feature is mobile friendliness,” said Johnson.

The rollout took place Monday, Jan. 31, at 7 a.m., and everything is running well. The county library is pleased with the way everything was handled. “We are excited for our new website design. We hope you enjoy using it,” stated an email sent from the library.

The county sent this email to every library cardholder with information about the changes. The letter stated, “Due to this new reservation system, a change has been made to our meeting room policy. Any new reservations for auditoriums will be limited to six months in advance beginning Jan. 30. Any reservations made prior to Jan. 25, 2023, will be grandfathered in under the previous meeting room policy.” l

Farmington boys basketball starts week with win over Davis; Woods Cross cruising in Region 5

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

It’s been an up-and-down season for Farmington and Davis in boys basketball. The two teams met on Tuesday for a chance to move up the Region 1 standings.

Thanks to a huge second-half run, Farmington prevailed 70-59.

In a contest held at Davis, the Darts shot out to a 16-9 advantage after one quarter. That lead swelled to 31-20 at halftime, leaving Davis in good shape.

Or so the team thought.

Farmington racked up 28 points in the third quarter, outscoring the Darts by 17 to turn the tables. An 11-point deficit was now a 48-42 advantage for Farmington. The Phoenix closed things out with a 22-

17 fourth quarter to win by a convincing margin. In a tale of two halves, Davis shot 46.3% from the floor, while the Phoenix did slightly better at 47.8%, 22 of 46. Farmington’s Jayden Haskell was the game’s leading scorer with 23 points, including four three-pointers. Teammate Paul Beattie had 16 points, six rebounds and three assists. Meanwhile, Braden Larsen had 15 points, while Cole Johnson had a solid all-around game with nine points, seven rebounds and six assists.

For Davis, Colby Whicker had 19 points and five rebounds. Ike Morgan had 14 points and four assists. Zach Fisher and Kaden Eggett both had eight points and seven rebounds.

Farmington’s win put the team at 12-6 overall and 4-4 in Region 1. Davis is also 4-1 in league play and is 10-9 overall. The

FREMONT’S BRADEN FLINDERS (3) looks for a way through the Farmington defense on his way to 7 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. The effort paid off in a 70-58 Silverwolves win.

Phoenix next face Layton on the road this coming Tuesday, Feb. 7. As for the Darts, they host Weber on Friday and then travel to Syracuse on Feb. 7. They will try to break a three-game slide.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats have had a stronghold on Region 5 since the league season began. Heading into their Friday game with Box Elder, the Wildcats were a perfect 5-0 in region play and 14-3 overall.

Last week, Woods Cross defeated Viewmont on Jan. 25 by the score of 6759. It followed that win up with a 57-47 triumph over Bonneville on Jan. 27. Against Viewmont, the Wildcats held their opponent to just 22 of 58 shooting. Jaxon Smith and Mason Bendinger were a prolific one-two punch, each scoring 22 points. Bendinger

also had eight rebounds, while Smith had five assists and also made five three-pointers. Cade Eberhardt had 11 points and 10 rebounds. For the Vikings, Scott Noel had 14 points and 10 rebounds. Trevor Green also had 14 points; he added four assists and a blocked shot.

The win over Bonneville saw the Wildcats overcome a six-point halftime deficit and outscore the Lakers by 16 points in the second half. Woods Cross sealed the game with a 22-15 fourth-quarter run. It helped that Bonneville didn’t make a single free throw out of its four attempts. Woods Cross was 9–13 from the line. Bendinger had 14 points, six rebounds and five assists. Alex Brey had a busy night. The 6-foot-4-inch senior had 13 points, nine rebounds, six

Bountiful, Davis remain atop respective regions in undefeated style

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Bountiful

The top-ranked team in 5A beat Woods Cross 58-29 Jan. 24, turning a tight three-point game into a 15-point lead by the break and then extended that further by holding the Wildcats to just three points in the third quarter before an evenly-matched fourth quarter in the big win.

Jordyn Harvey led the scoring with 17 points while her sister Taylor Harvey added 12 points. The sisters combined for five 3-pointers in the big win. On Jan. 26 against Northridge, who was also undefeated in Region 5 play, the Redhawks won 52-46 in overtime. It was a close game throughout with Bountiful up two at halftime and four heading into the fourth quarter. The Knights evened the score by end of regulation and the teams went to overtime where the Redhawks held Northridge scoreless while Lizzy McConkie scored all of her six points – knocking down two 3-pointers – in the extra period to account for Bountiful’s offense to end the game.

“Lizzy came in clutch in overtime,” said head coach Joel Burton. “It was a good test in a

tough environment. We needed that. It will make us better. Northridge played us tough and disciplined. I give them a lot of credit.

Taylor Harvey scored 16 points in the win.

The Redhawks are now 5-0 in Region 5 and 14-1 on the season.

Davis 4th-ranked Davis defeated Fremont 48-35 Jan. 24 in a battle for sole possession of first place in Region 1, handing the Silverwolves its first region defeat in more than five years.

After an even first quarter tied at 8-all, the Darts pulled ahead by four at halftime and seven to enter the fourth quarter where it opened up an even bigger margin in the win.

Kendra Kitchen had a monster game with 27 points while Etuati T’maea was also in double figures with 10 points.

Against Layton Jan. 27, Davis won 42-29, holding the Lancers to just two points to start the game and going up 20-11 by the break. The Darts played a fairly evenly-matched second half with Layton and won by 13.

Kitchen’s 25 points led the way for Davis who have now won eight straight games since its only loss on the year in mid-December.

The Darts are now 7-0 in Region 1 and 14-1 overall.

Mele Fiefia led Farmington with nine points while Marissa Marchant scored eight and grabbed 10 rebounds.

Against Fremont Jan. 27, the Phoenix squad lost 54-34. Farmington struggled out of the gate, going down 28 to 9 by halftime and scoring just seven points in the third quarter before finishing with an 18-point effort to end the game.

Viewmont improved to .500 with wins over Bonneville and Box Elder this week.

On Jan. 24, the Vikings defeated

Bonneville 45-34, going up big early to lead 28 to 12 by halftime. Viewmont cooled a bit in the third quarter – scoring just four points – before finishing strong to end with an 11-point win.

“We got off to a good start and took advantage of some of their turnovers,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “Bonneville did a great job of coming out and being the aggressors in the third quarter and made some shots actually cutting our lead to four points. We maintained our lead around 10 points most of the fourth quarter and then they started to foul us down the stretch and we extended it a little by knocking down our free throws.”

Emma Mulitalo had 19 points, including three 3-pointers, and six rebounds for the Vikings with Lissia Silva putting in 10 points. Callie Peterson’s three assists and two steals were also key in the win, according to Gardner.

Against Box Elder Jan. 26, Viewmont won 53-48, starting out 12-8 after the first quarter before getting up by nine points heading into the fourth and holding on for

assists and four blocks.

Woods Cross looks to keep its unblemished region record intact this week when it hosts Box Elder on Friday.

Viewmont

After falling to Woods Cross, Viewmont dropped a game at Box Elder on Jan. 27, 65-57. That put the Vikings at 1-4 in region play and 6-12 overall.

The loss at Box Elder was especially difficult, as the Vikings held a 48-42 lead heading into the final quarter. That’s when Box Elder outscored Viewmont 23-9 in the decisive final six minutes. Viewmont was just 3–9 from the foul line but did shoot better than 50% from the floor.

Noel had 17 points and five rebounds in the loss. Jaxon Heusser had 16 points, while Mitch Jeppesen added eight points and eight rebounds.

“It was another Region 5 battle,” Gardner said. “Any win is a good win at this point in the season and sometimes they can be frustrating. We were able to pull out the win despite our turnover issues. We are really trying to take care of the ball better so we can put ourselves in better positions at the end of the game. In the final quarter, Box Elder continued to chip away and eventually took the lead late in the fourth. It went back and forth a little but, but each time the Bees took the lead we responded right back in a big way to take it back. The last few positions we had some big-time shots from Aubrey Mulitalo, Emma Mulitalo and Kristina Gunnell.”

Mulitalo drained four 3-pointers, scoring 18 points, to lead offensively while Aubrey Mulitalo scored 11 points and grabbed five rebounds. Gunnell also recorded five rebounds on the boards.

“It was definitely a team effort where we had some important plays from our players that came off the bench to give us a big boost,” Gardner said. “I am proud of the

My husband has it honed to a skill – and I swear the nine ingredients jump to attention when he opens the doors to the pantry. Simplistic yet so satisfying! It is very playful in your hands going in your mouth as chunks, crumbles or flat shards. Give this a try – for sure keep the recipe. It is solid if you want to double.

that on one income. You almost need your husband to have a large income to subsidize it. Parents need a high quality program for their children while they’re doing their best at work.”

Kingston’s day starts early and ends late. “I have clients who are teachers and work at the school where my children go,” she said. “After breakfast we haul all the teachers’ children to school then go back. The younger kids have snacks, lessons and one on one time. Half of the kids have nap time. There is free play and then we go back to the school and hand them back to the teacher. Some get off between 5 and 5:30 and other parents don’t get done until almost 6. It’s a long day.” The child care profession should be acknowledged as an industry not just a side

thing, said Kingston. “It should be viewed more as early education than child care. Quality child care decreases mom guilt. If she knows her child is getting the same experience as they would at home she can focus more when she’s at work. When she hears about her child’s day and what they’ve learned she gets that settling feeling that ‘I’m OK stepping away to work.’”

“Every child in Utah should have an equal chance to succeed and be happy in their lives, from the moment they are born,” said Moe Hickey, Executive Director, Voices of Utah Children. “Children who are in child care settings deserve great opportunities to grow and develop while their parents are working. When they don’t get those opportunities, our entire state suffers, both now and in the future. Our broken childcare system is a problem for every Utahn.” l

Return to Sender: Where did Lisa Marie Presley’s Inheritance Go?

Iconic heartthrob Elvis Presley's daughter Lisa Marie Presley died tragically last week at age 54.

Ms. Presley reportedly inherited $100 million in 1993 on her 25th birthday. Court documents reveal that Lisa died with $95,266 in cash and $714,775 worth of other assets, due to her outrageous spending habits.

Reportedly Lisa spent $92,000 a month, including $23,500 for rent, $1,708 for her monthly Maserati payment.

In 2004 Lisa sold off 85% of Elvis's publishing rights and other assets for $100 million, much of which is now gone. In 2016 Presley claimed to be more than $16 million in debt. The New York Post also reports that Presley allegedly owes $1 million in taxes to the Internal Revenue Service.

All raising the question: what on earth happened?

One can point to a lavish, entitled lifestyle of the "King's" progeny. The real

problem could be that Lisa inherited that wealth all at once, before she had the wisdom or maturity to handle it all.

The lesson that all of us can take about this unfortunate situation is the importance of analyzing how the inheritance you are leaving to your loved ones will impact their lives, and if they are capable of managing it in a healthy and productive fashion

It is a great time to sit down with your legal advisor to discuss the appropriate inheritance strategies for your family, including the timing, ages and amounts of wealth you are making available. Your inheritance plan should enhance your loved ones lives rather than hinder or enable them.

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Is “Project Blue Book” coming back on?

A: I think, at this point, we can definitively say no. However, fans of the show are nothing if not believers.

“Project Blue Book” was a scripted series on History based on a real U.S. Air Force program investigating the possibility of alien visitation on Earth.

It aired for two seasons before being cancelled in 2020. But the series cre-

TELEVISION GUIDE

ators didn’t give up hope.

TELEVISION GUIDE

David O’Leary (“Eli,” 2019) and Sean Jablonski (a writer and producer on the cable drama “Nip/Tuck”) wrote and produced the series for History. After the cancellation, they began lobbying for another network to rescue it. They said at the time that they had a full third season written and ready to film. Failing that, they even proposed turning the third season into a book.

“The studio that produces and ultimately pays for the show is committed to finding another home for it, like on a streaming service, which we feel could present a larger audience for us,” Jablonski told DenOfGeek.com at the time.

Unfortunately, none of that came to pass, and now they seem to have moved on.

In November 2021, it was announced that O’Leary and Jablonski would team up for a new series that retells an even more famous true-life alien story: the purported extraterrestrial crash near Roswell, New Mexico.

But so far that series hasn’t materialized, either.

Q: Who was that playing the U.S. president in “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me”?

A: Perhaps you didn’t recognize him because it’s incredible that he agreed to do it: That was Oscar-winning acting great Tim Robbins (“Mystic River,” 2003) as, well, a U.S. president in the 1999 spy spoof “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.”

The bigger question for many is: Which

president? The film is very explicitly set in 1969. That would mean that the president was Richard Nixon. However, though Nixon is one of the easiest presidential impressions to do, Robbins went for what film critic Jay Bastian called a “pseudo-JFK” instead.

Film trivia website TVTropes.com picked a different Kennedy, suggesting that Robbins was in fact channeling John’s little brother Robert (it then suggested an explanation: maybe they travelled to an alternate version of history where RFK hadn’t been assassinated and became president instead).

Having begun his own onscreen career with a 1964 episode of the BBC2 series “Story Parade,” Stewart has been nominated for Tony, Olivier, Golden Globe, Emmy and Screen Actors Guild awards, never failing to impress the audience with his commitment to each role.

Born July 13, 1940, to a textile worker and an army serviceman in the English town of Mirfield, Stewart was “brought up in a very poor and very violent household” (his own words). Despite the limits this placed on his upbringing, Stewart thrived in theater as of the age of 12 — an outlet that would prove very lucrative for his future.

Stewart’s early career was largely dedicated to the stage. Under the banner of such prestigious theatrical institutions as the Bristol Old Vic Company, Manchester’s Library Theatre, the Royal Shakespeare Company and the Royal National Theatre, the actor appeared in “Cyrano de Bergerac” as well as Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Hamlet,” among many others. Following his “Story Parade” appearance at 24, Stewart quickly began to incorporate more film and television roles into his repertoire.

Court Judge Abby Stone (Melissa Rauch) continues to preside over a crew of oddballs and cynics in this new episode of “Night Court,” airing Tuesday, Feb. 7, on NBC. Also starring in this reboot of the ‘80s sitcom is John Larroquette, who won four straight Emmys (1985-1988) for his role as Dan Fielding.

Elaine Jaquier Prows born on May 30, 1930, the oldest child of Marcel and Viola Jaquier in Salt Lake City, Utah. Elaine passed away Jan. 29, 2023.

Elaine was raised on 12th Avenue in Salt Lake City in a loving home where she never heard a harsh word exchanged between her parents. She said she was raised as a Princess. She walked to and from Ensign Elementary, Bryant Junior High and East High School every school day. Elaine had dear friends and a community that cared for and loved each other. She talked often about the wonderful neighbors and members of the Ensign Ward.

Elaine worked for Utah Idaho Leather Co. (which her Father owned). She saved her money to go to Lausanne, Switzerland, to live with her Aunt Rose and the Jaquier family. She loved her time there. She went on a short mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints when she was only 18. She learned French and fell in love with the Swiss family and country. Elaine loved to travel and found herself as a stewardess for United Airlines on a DC3. She was able to visit Ronald on the East coast several times while he was in the Navy during the Korean War, and they fell in love.

Elaine and Ronald Smith Prows married in the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on June 10, 1945, and together created a beautiful family of seven children. Her greatest joy were her 36 grandchildren and 60 great grandchildren that she worried and prayed over every day. Ron and Elaine were together for 64 years, and are finally together again for eternity.

Together, Ron and Elaine took their family of seven children to New Zealand for a job with the Church College of New Zealand for 11 years and loved everything about the whole experience. She loved and is loved by many wonderful friends from New Zealand and throughout the world. She loved talking with people and was always happy.

Elaine and Ron served four missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to New Zealand, Jamaica as CES Supervisors, Temple Square and Lagoon Pioneer Village. Elaine had a strong testimony of the Savior Jesus Christ and was active her whole life in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Her service throughout her life

was a blessing to many, supporting Ronald in all of his many callings and was strong during challenges alone, especially when he was on tour in Europe with the Tabernacle Choir.

Her testimony is "I love my Savior Jesus Christ and greatly appreciate all he did and does for me. His atonement and resurrection are constantly remembered and the blessings he gives me are innumerable. I am trying my best to live with Heavenly Father again and to be with my wonderful family in the eternities.”

Elaine looked forward to reuniting with Ron and those of her family that went on before her.

She is survived by her family, Paul Ronald Prows, Tracy Jaquier Prows (Christa), Annette Snelgrove (Michael), Kent Arthur Prows (Robin), Reed Marcel Prows (Stephanie), David Lance Prows (Cindy) and Keith Wade Prows (Lahna); sister Shirleen Carter (Wayne), sisterin-law Nadine Sandberg (Sandy), 36 grandchildren and 60 great grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 4, 2023, at the Val Verda 2nd Ward Chapel, 3317 S. 800 West, Bountiful, Utah, where a viewing will be held Friday evening from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday 9:45 a.m. to 10:45 a.m. prior to services. Interment will be at the Lakeview Cemetery.

Five-Year Review Planned for the former Intermountain Waste Oil Refinery Superfund Site Davis County, Utah

The Utah Department of Environmental Quality, Division of Environmental Response and Remediation (UDEQ/DERR) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are conducting the fourth Five-Year Review of the remedial actions performed for the Intermountain Waste Oil Refinery (IWOR) Superfund Site located at 995 South 500 West in Bountiful, Utah. The purpose of a Five-Year Review is to evaluate the implementation and performance of a remedy in order to determine if it is or will be protective of human health and the environment.

The Five-Year Review will include a review of site documents, community interviews, and a site inspection to evaluate all remedy components, as well as the status of land-use controls. Upon completion of the review, a report will be made available to the public and is scheduled to be completed by September 2023.

From 1957-1993, operations at the IWOR site included brick manufacturing, an asphalt business, waste oil refining, petroleum trucking and oil blending. These operations contaminated soil and groundwater with hazardous chemicals and the site was placed on the National Priorities List (NPL) in 2000. Cleanup was completed in 2004 and included operations and maintenance activities as well as institutional controls. The property was redeveloped in 2008 and delisted from the NPL in 2019.

Like a ghost, the snowy owl glides through the air in soundless flight. This owl is different from most owls because it hunts during the day and at night. Most owls hunt at night. In the arctic region, the summer days and nights are always light. An owl waiting for darkness to hunt would starve before the dark days of winter arrive.

Many animals can blend into their environment.

This is called camouflage. There are few trees on the tundra, so the snowy owl’s white plumage blends with the snowy world of the northern arctic.

In the spring, when the snowy owl makes a nest, the snow has started to melt and the brown earth shows through patches of white snow. The

The snowy owl is one of the largest owls, with a height of about 27 inches (69 cm) and a wingspan of up to 60 inches (152 cm). Wingspan is the measurement from wing tip to wing tip, when the wings are fully stretched.

How many of the things in this chart could fit into a snowy owl’s wingspan?

Measure 60 inches (152 cm) on the floor. Now lie down with your arms outstretched along the line. Measure your outstretched arms. How do you compare?

Baby owls are called owlets. Can you help the mother owl nd her way home to her owlets?

All owls have excellent sight so that they can spot creatures like mice that run fast along the ground. Owls’ eyes are not the same as human eyes. We move our eyes in their sockets to see from side to side. The owl must turn his head to see in different directions. Owls also have a third eyelid, which protects the eye. It is a milky white eyelid that comes up from the bottom of the eye. Its purpose is to clean and refresh the owl’s eyes. This third eyelid is called a nictitating membrane

Stretch your arms wide apart and swoop around outdoors.

Perch like an owl.

Squat down like you are sitting on a tree branch watching for mice on the ground. Fold your arms into wings with your thumbs in your armpits.

How long can you stay in this position?

Hop like an owl.

Twist and turn.

While sitting in the perched position, turn your head as far to the right as you can. Then turn your head as far left as possible.
