FARMINGTON—During the month of March, a few thousand tundra swans migrate to Alaska and on their way they stop at Farmington Bay.
“They come from California and stop here to rest and refuel before making their way to Alaska,” said Hayley Pace, program specialist, Eccles Wildlife Education Center. “Tundra swans stay on the water. They’re only on land when they’re breeding. They come here to sit on the ice and water to stay off land.”
The tundra swans migrate through March and come back through in the late fall, Pace said. “We see about 75 percent of the tundra population here – which is about 75,000 birds.”

KAYSVILLE—Everyone needs to give themselves and others a little grace. Courage is grace under pressure. It takes a lot of courage to have it. That’s how Jan Williams looks at life having gone through four bouts with cancer. Williams is the founder of the Hopebox Theatre that helps those battling cancer. She shared her story at the Davis Chamber Women in Business luncheon recently at Roosters with the theme of “Grit & Grace.”
“You have to give grace to yourself or you can’t give it to others,” said Williams.
“I wear my heart and soul on my sleeve. You have to be vulnerable.”
Grace is a verb, she said.
“You’ve got to get past the
Police in Nashville are still digging into the background and motivations of a former student who entered the Covenant Elementary School armed with ARstyle weapons and detailed maps and opened fire on Monday, March 27. Three children and three adults were killed. The alleged shooter, who was identified by police as 28-year-old Nashville resident Audrey Elizabeth Hale, was killed by officers.
U.S. Senator Mitt Romney (RUT) joined 36 of his Republican colleagues, led by Senator Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA), Ranking Member of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, in introducing a Congressional Review Act (CRA) resolution to overturn President Biden’s student loan cancellation scheme. The CRA would also end the pause on student loan payments, which costs taxpayers $5 billion a month and has been extended six times under the Biden Administration.
The Utah civil trial involving actress Gwyneth Paltrow and a man who is accusing her of wrongdoing in relation to a 2016 ski collision resumed Monday for its second week of proceedings. Terry Sanderson, the retired optometrist who is suing Paltrow, testified on Monday that he “was skiing easy” and “paying attention” prior to the collision with Paltrow, which happened at Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah.
assumptions and judgments or appearance and not do that first. Your story isn’t just what you see. It’s not where you work, what your business is or your family.”
Williams was the second child of six siblings. “I would say, ‘hey I’m over here.’ I had to earn my place. I found I liked to sing and dance. I didn’t have any training but my family said ‘that’s great, you should keep doing it.’”
She met her future husband in the seventh grade. “I was running for student body officer and so was he,” Williams said. “I lost and coming home after I thought ‘how can the biggest nerd win?’ I didn’t know he’d become so hot.”
While attending Weber State University, Williams was part of the WSU singers.
Human remains discovered in Lake Mead in October have been identified as a 39-year-old man who is believed to have drowned in the reservoir nearly five decades ago, officials announced Tuesday. Medical examiners determined the remains belong to Donald Smith, a Las Vegas resident who reportedly drowned in April 1974, the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner said in a release.
A tornado ripped through large sections of rural Mississippi on Friday of last week, causing significant structural damage to a number of small towns in its path. Rolling Fork, MS has been identified as the epicenter of the event, and by some estimates saw over 30% of its buildings, including homes, destroyed by high winds. There are no reliable figures yet reported about injuries, though unconfirmed reports suggest that there have been a number of deaths as a result.

WOODS CROSS–Need an energy boost or help with sleep or weight loss? IV therapy might be just the thing. Prime IV Hydration & Wellness is a unique business that opened in Woods Cross last month and offers a variety of IV treatments that were only available in a hospital setting.
“IV therapy has been used widely for a long time,” said Brittany Beahm, who owns the business with her husband Corey. “Doctors use it after surgery for hydration and to provide medications and nutrients directly in the patient’s system. It’s not a new concept.”
Now it’s been made available commercially, she said. “It can provide vitamins, nutrients, electrolytes and fluids without a prescription. When you take oral supplements your body only absorbs 20 percent of that pill after it goes through the gastro tract. This provides 100 percent maximum absorption and you also get hydrated at the same time. With IV 1,000 cc of fluid is equivalent to two and a half gallons of water. Many people are not fully hydrated and this also keeps their vitamins at optimal levels.”
It benefits all different clients, said Beahm. “We have a client known as the iron cowboy because he did 100 ironman races in 100 consecutive days. We did all of the IVs before and after without it, it wouldn’t have been possible for him to do that.”
However, Beahm said it’s not just for competitive athletes. “We help everyone in between. It’s used for cancer treatments because patients don’t absorb all of the nutrients because of chemo. We offer prescription medications like Zofran for nausea to
pregnant women with a doctor’s order. She can come here instead of the ER and pay a fraction of the cost.”
People come in with migraines, she said. “It also gives an immunity boost, especially for teachers or others who are working in large groups equipping them with immunity armor.”
A popular treatment that they offer is the Myers’ cocktail. “It’s well known in the medical community,” said Beahm. “It’s been around for a long time. It’s an ultra drip for overall wellness, allergies, fatigue, GI disorders, muscle pain, anxiety and depression. People like it for a variety of reasons.”
IV therapy helps after surgery too, she said. “It’s used for hydration and pre and post surgery renewal. It also helps prevent infections, reduces scar tissue and speeds healing.”
There are drips for weight loss as well, Beahm said. “It can accelerate your diet goals and speeds up metabolism.”
The treatments are done by RNs who have IV specialist training, she said. “Our medical director is a physician who oversees operations.”
“As a nurse, I get to see the positive results of IV therapy firsthand,” said Lindsey Nielson, an RN at Prime IV. “I really value working in this relaxing environment that feels more like a spa than a medical clinic, especially because our clients come electively and we get to know them personally. It’s so fulfilling to see them achieve their health and wellness goals.”
Not everyone is able to have the IV treatment, said Beahm. “If someone has heart, liver or kidney failure we can’t give an IV but 95 percent of people can do IV.”
The IV is placed in the crook of the elbow, she said. “We use small needles and
clients sit in a massage chair. We give them the full spa experience with soothing music. It’s pretty amazing they are relaxing while they have a drip.”
“I used to work out regularly but was diagnosed with an arthritic autoimmune disease,” Angela Ellsworth, a customer, said. “I’ve been trying to figure out how to exercise without sending my body into debilitating inflammation and pain. I discovered IV therapy, and the Myers’ cocktail has already done wonders for me – I’ve been able to start a new flare-up-free exercise regimen, and I’m so grateful! I also love the mood boost I’m getting from the big dose of vitamin D.”
They also electrolyte drops, Beahm said. “You put them in your water bottle. It’s a refreshing thing customers enjoy. It’s so much better than a sports drink. There’s no sugar, sweeteners or fake coloring.”
The Prime IV franchise has 12 locations in Utah with another one opening up soon in Layton. The first one was in St. George. They don’t take insurance, Beahm said. “We do take HSA, FSA flex accounts. It’s a huge benefit.”
Prime IV Wellness & Hydration is located at 2471 S. Wildcat Way, Ste B, Woods Cross. To learn more or to book an appointment visit primeivhydration.com/locations/ utah/woods-cross-84087. l
The Kaysville Youth Court is a voluntary juvenile diversionary program where high school age youth participate and act as judges, jurors, clerks, bailiffs, mentors, and teachers offering peer counseling and peer tutoring classes; enabling them to develop an understanding and respect for the legal process. The Youth Court does not determine guilt, but takes youth offenders who admit their mistakes and provides them with appropriate consequences.
Youth who appear before the Youth Court have been identified by law enforcement personnel, school officials, or any other concerned party as having committed acts which indicate a need for intervention to prevent further development toward juvenile delinquency. The Youth Court provides this early intervention in the form of positive peer pressure that keeps the offending youth from having a juvenile record while holding the youth accountable to both their peers and the community.
The Kaysville Youth Court was founded in September 2000 by Kim Smith. It has been operational for 22 years (with a break from March 2020 to August 2022 due to COVID). In August 2022, new judges were selected for the 2023 Court. The 2023 Court has a panel of 14 new judges. They completed three months of training and began hearing cases in January 2023. The first case was a theft case.
Tina Johnson and Kim Smith are the Youth Court Advisors; they are assisted by Police Officer Cade Bradshaw and City Council representatives Abbigayle Hunt and Nate Jackson. The Youth Judges are: Marrisa Blocker, Hailey Christensen, Mckay Clemens, Ryan Dimmick, Landon Jacobs, Abby Lusk, Kate Miller, Ruby Muller, Hermon Mulugets, Mia Schimmer, Sophia Shekar, Lisa Von Bose, Kimberly
Waite and Luci Willard.
Johnson said the process really is a “labor of love” and everyone involved makes a huge sacrifice of time. She said the group meets about three times a month. Smith added that “the program has been in place so long that one of the judges being sworn in today is the son of one of her very first judges.”Smith and Johnson thanked the families involved as well.

The advisors and judges were honored by the Mayor and City Council at the Jan. 19 City Council meeting. Mayor Tami Tran said “she appreciates the willingness to serve in this capacity” and “felt the work they were performing in this process was critical to attempt to prevent future consequences.” She said this is a big responsibility for the group to operate with the utmost integrity and confidentiality. l
“D ungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves” is the ‘80s fantasy movie you never knew you were missing.
In addition to beautifully capturing the spirit of the classic role-playing game, the new movie also evokes the energy of old-school fantasy at its best. You don’t have to have played Dungeons & Dragons to appreciate this kind of classic adventure story, complete with a great sense of humor and genuine emotional moments. Add fantastic real effects, a fun cast and great world building, and you have a story fantasy fans will want to watch again and again.
The movie starts with a prison scene that sets the stage for a group of adventuring thieves. A job done for all the right reasons goes horribly wrong,
and now two members of the party must get their lives back. Old friends and new allies help things along, kicking off a journey that will leave them facing monsters, dragons and all kinds of deadly traps. A traitorous friend and a red mage complicate that plan considerably, forcing the group of adventurers to decide what really matters most.
The movie has a good sense of humor, but it also takes itself completely seriously. That means there are plenty of lighter moments, but they never get in the way of serious scenes where the stakes get high and people’s lives are on the line. There are a few moments where you might even get choked up, and the ending is fantastically satisfying on both an emotional and narrative level.
Hardcore D&D fans will appreciate all the little references to the in-game universe and related mate -
rials, all of them worked organically into the story. Missing them won’t dampen your enjoyment of the story, but catching them makes the experience even richer. The same is true for subtle structural touches to the story that reflect how an actual D&D game would unfold, recognizable to fans but integrated so seamlessly that regular viewers won’t even notice.
The cast is great, with Chris Pine doing an especially good job as the team’s bard. Bards have always been persuaders in fantasy as much as they are musicians, and Pine has exactly the right mix of manipulativeness and sincerity to be just right no matter what the moment. Michelle Rodriguez is also fun as Holga the barbarian, managing to be both threatening and warm depending on what’s needed. The two actors manage the perfect sibling dynamic, longstanding partners who care deeply for each other but also want to
strangle each other sometimes. Though the movie does have good CGI, what’s even better is that they also use old-school costuming and puppetry. The non-human side characters are almost entirely created through costume molding, evoking ‘80s fantasy and offering a refreshing change from the uncanny valley of bad CGI. Good costuming is a treat for the eyes, and doesn’t need to look precisely real to look right.
Though the ending doesn’t leave anything hanging, the door is left open for another adventure with these people. I, for one, am looking forward to it.

According to the medical community, early-onset colorectal cancer will become the leading cancer and leading cause of death for people aged 20-49 by 2030. That’s a 90% increase for colon cancer and a 124% increase for rectal cancer.
Intermountain Health took the opportunity during Colon Cancer Awareness Month in March to bring awareness to the importance of potentially life-saving screenings by holding the “Let’s Get to the Bottom of Colon Cancer” giant inflatable colon tour that traveled to 21 hospitals and clinics in Utah and Idaho.
A walk-through tour of the 12-foot, 113-pound inflatable colon, depicts the different stages of colorectal cancer and educates patients about how to prevent this disease.
“We want patients to be more aware of colon cancer and what it means,” said Nickole Gardner, nurse manager at Alta View Endoscopy. “We want them to know that 45 is the new 50, that’s the new age we want people to start screening with colonoscopies. The only way to know you have polyps is to have a colonoscopy. We can go in and see polyps long before they can turn into colon cancer or a malignant polyp. More and more people are getting diagnosed at younger ages.”
Dr. Austin Cannon, colon and rectal surgeon at Intermountain Medical Center, said the giant colon is great for visual learners to help them understand how polyps in the colon change over time, what they look like and how they can become cancerous.
He said he sees patients all
the time with no family history of colorectal cancer, who practice a healthy lifestyle and they have been diagnosed with cancer. Cannon hopes as younger people get screened, they can catch these cancers earlier and save more lives.
“For anybody who has a first-degree relative with colon cancer, the colonoscopy is the only test you should be using to screen,” Cannon said. “It’s better at identifying polyps, and if we see polyps, we can take them out before they turn into colon cancer. We can find them, look at them and treat them to reduce the risk of colon cancer actually happening.”
The American Cancer Society estimates more than 153,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer this year, making it the third-most common cancer diagnosed for men and women, and the second leading cause of total cancer-related deaths.
Cannon would like people to get past the idea that a colonoscopy is a terrible ordeal and start normalizing the conversations about screenings to reduce the stigma and fear.
“You’re pretty much asleep during the entire procedure,” he said. “Taking that bowel prep and having that experience is not fun, but it’s also not painful. We also try to make it not scary, knowing that all procedures can be scary.”
While the cause of the increase in colorectal cancer isn’t clear, it’s possible that rising obesity levels, especially among young people, could contribute to the rise in cancers. Sugary drinks, diets high in processed foods and sugars, and not eating enough whole foods and fiber could be adding to the risk.
“In Utah we’re blessed because we have a pretty healthy
population compared to a lot of places,” Cannon said. “The largest studies that have been done consistently show smoking, obesity and high consumption of red meat as risk factors for colon cancer. It’s just trying to live a healthy life.” l
F rom the bighorn sheep of Zion National Park to the countless shorebirds of the Great Salt Lake to the backyard chickadees, Utah residents encounter wildlife on a regular basis. No matter how each person interracts wildlife in the state, Celebrate Utah Wildlife wants to hear about it.
The Utah Wildlife Federation and mural artist Chris Peterson will hold the first Celebrate Utah Wildlife contest this spring with 63 cash prizes for people ranging in age from 4 to 104. It’s as simple as writing a story, taking a picture or making a video.
“There are a lot of ways to celebrate our experiences with wildlife. We want people from across the state to show us how the wild inhabitants of our state inspire you or your family,” Peterson said. “Entries from this contest will become part of an exhibit that will go on tour across the state. It’s all meant to show how we connect with wildlife in Utah.”
More than $10,000 in cash prizes will be handed out in the form of $250 awards for first-place and dozens more for the best submissions across three age groups: children (ages 4-11), teens (ages 12-17) and adults (18 and up). Entries will be judged on four criteria: Utah wildlife-inspired, originality, artistic merit/craftsmanship (in relation to entrant’s age) and artist statement. Only submissions made by current Utah residents are eligible.

The Celebrate Utah Wildlife contest is made possible, in part, with funding from the Hansen Sisters Foundation and the Utah STEM Action Center. The digital art and digital storytelling categories are funded through a community impact grant from the center.
“Utah’s wild creatures need to be celebrated for all the wonder, awe and smiles they bring to our faces,” said Brett Prettyman, chair of the Utah Wildlife Federation board. “We hope by seeing how others celebrate our wildlife that more people will be inspired to get out and create their own experiences.”
The goal of the Utah Wildlife Federation is to bring the diverse voices of this unique state together to create a cohesive goal in securing the future of wildlife and outdoor recreation, while providing the best practices to steward natural resources for generations to come. By crowd-sourcing wildlife content, the Celebrate Utah Wildlife contest will demonstrate the range and diversity of animal life in Utah.

News stories from yesteryear in Davis County
Compiled by Alisha Copfer1923
The new road lighting system installed on the state road, from the boundary line between Salt Lake and Davis County for a distance of about a mile north, was tried out, Friday night of last week, in the presence of our County commissioners, and the Weber county commissioners, mayor of Bountiful, good roads committee from the Salt Lake chamber of commerce and many others who wanted to witness the demonstration. The demonstration showed that it would be safer for automobiles to be driven over the highway at night without headlights.
1933
The average American family demands all possible comforts in the home. This, if nothing else, would have compelled the adoption of a labor saving equipment in our homes. Our wives, mothers, daughters, faced by multiplying demands on their time, welcome means to economize time, money and labor, as fast as they are able to adopt them.
1943
Sponsored by the Davis County Bankers' association, a letter writing contest is now open to high school students, with "food for victory" as theme subjects. The banking group, through the agriculture and livestock committee, is collaborating with the Utah department of public instruction and the USDA war board.
1953
Directors of the Utah State Rifle and Pistol Association have awarded the annual state gallery rifle championship tournament to the Bountiful Rifle and Pistol club this year. The announcement was
made today by the state association president in Layton. Firing will be conducted on April 11 and 12.
1963
Construction is expected to start within the next two weeks on a new high school in Bountiful. It is to be ready for occupancy by the fall of 1964. Bids were opened at a special meeting of the Davis County Board of Education, Tuesday night. After studying the eight bids submitted, the contract was awarded on Wednesday to the Paulson Construction Co., Salt Lake City. With a basic bid of $1,618,980 their bid had been the lowest submitted.
Bountiful will be the first city in Utah to use punch card voting. Davis County recently purchased a new voting system. Since there will be no county election this year, the Bountiful election will give the county a chance to see the system used before the major election of 1976.
The city's Redevelopment Agency (RDA) board of directors is looking toward revitalizing Bountiful's downtown business area – but only when funds become available. In fact, the RDA board had to approve an agreement to borrow "up to $350,000" from the city to maintain and operate the redevelopment agency for the remainder of 1983. After approving the agreement, the six-member board – which comprises the mayor and five city council members – agreed to spend up to $5,000 for conceptual drawings for revitalizing the city's downtown area.

Technically the swans are tundra not trumpeters, she said. “Tundras are one of the largest waterfowl species like geese and ducks. Trumpeters are much larger. You can tell the difference between them because a tundra has a yellow lore below its eye.”
Trumpeters make a sound like a trumpet, Pace said. “Tundras have been called whistling swans because of the sound their wings make when they fly.”
Swans mate for life, she said. “Unlike bald eagles they stay with their partner all year round.”
There are two species, the whistling swan and the Bewick’s, said Pace. “The Bewick’s has a large yellow lore and the whistling swan has a small one.”
The center held a “swan day” March 11 for families to come out and view the swans. “We had swan themed activities and guided nature walks because visitors don’t always see swans.”
Pace said the center offers wildlife viewing opportunities in Farmington Bay. “We’re also an education center so we educate people at the same time. Everybody loves eagles and swans. We have a one-mile loop nature walk. We also offer a scavenger hunt with binoculars. There are displays in the center and volunteers or staff members are available to answer questions.”
There is also an artificial rookery at the center, she said. “Great blue herons are nesting now until June. A rookery is a colony of birds nesting together like they would in the wild. It’s one of the easiest viewing opportunities because you can see it from the parking lot.”
The Eccles Wildlife Education Center has a Wild Babies Wildlife Seminar coming up on April 1 from 1 p.m. – 2:30 p.m. Join the Division of Wildlife Resources and Wild Aware Utah to learn all about baby animals and what to do if someone encounters a wildlife baby.

The Kaysville City Electric Utility has experienced significant increases in operational costs in the acquisition of electric resources. The Kaysville City Power Commission has thoroughly evaluated the costs and operations of the electric utility and has made a recommendation to the Kaysville City Council to increase electric rates by a 5% increase across all kWh tiers and demand charges as soon as practicable.
Power Commissioner Alan Farnes said that he has lived in Kaysville for 37 years and has been serving on the Kaysville Power Commission for six years. He has worked at Bountiful City Light & Power for 45 years, and for the last 15 of those years, he has been the Generation Superintendent. Farnes recently helped the City Council understand some of the challenges the Kaysville Power Department is now facing – or will be soon.
Farnes said the first issue is relative to wholesale power costs that have been unusually high through 2022. The city did not have any months in 2022 where they paid less for power than in previous years. Several factors have contributed to this cost increase: drought, which has limited the availability of hydropower, shut down of some coal plants, and the decreased coal supply has reduced availability of coal generation. In the month of December, wholesale power costs to Kaysville amounted to over half a million dollars more than in previous years. The months of August, September and November were also very high, and it is expected that rates will continue to be high into 2023 as well.
Farnes said power costs increased $4.6 million from 2020 to 2022 and a rate study in 2016 recommended and predict -
ed rates should be nearly 25% higher than the current rate. Capital improvements have increased due to higher priced materials and necessary large-scale infrastructure improvements. He said after analyzing the increases in power and operation costs over the last three years, including experiencing loss of power resources, staff feels it would be advantageous to have a small increase immediately to help maintain costs as they further evaluate the need for potential restructuring of the Kaysville power rates.
Farnes said implementing a rate increase sooner rather than later will help to try to curb the problem of not covering costs for power. He said the Power Commission will likely need to meet again after the summer to look at status, and if another rate increase will need to be done in the fall. He said he does not feel that Kaysville has reinvested much into their own power system and more reinvestment needs to be done before considering the transfer of any power funds to another use.
Farnes said the 5% increase is not a resolution to cover the unprecedented recent increase in costs but a necessary increase to maintain the base level needs for operation. Loss of power resources drives up power costs from open market purchase. The average home at a usage of 1,000 kWh a month will see an increase of approximately $4.50/month in their power utility bill. Even with a 5% increase, rates will still be below Rocky Mountain Power and the majority of UAMPS member rates.
The City Council voted unanimously to amend the Consolidated Fee Schedule to change the Power Rates by 5% to be effective March 1, 2023. l
Arecent article in a national magazine took the position that America’s problems, especially its partisanship (Blue State vs. Red State, CNN vs. Fox News, non-religious vs. earnest believers), was the result of us not having meaningful conversation. Conversation should not be confused with brief chats over the phone or through email; instead we need casual conversation, sharing our stories and our feelings, being curious enough to ask questions of people we might know little about.
What we have now is too much groupthink. People live in the same neighborhoods where too many people share the same political belief, worship at the same church and figure their personal values eminently equate with everyone else’s.
As I read the article, I thought about my wife and I attending a start-up “salon,” a French concept in which people – often total strangers – would sit down and discuss various intellectual or political topics. We were involved in the monthly Utah salon for about one year, meeting a wide variety of men and women from across the Wasatch Front: retired businessmen, school teachers, college students, faithful members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, atheists and one guy who presumably was homeless. Someone would lead off with an introductory topic, everything from the fear of big dogs to the ramifications of leaving a faith, but the discussion would usually veer off into other topics during the course of two hours.
It was thought-provoking. We were not debating, trying to show the other side was wrong. We weren’t trying for conversion, attempting to elicit support for our personal views. We weren’t regurgitating positions heard on a radio talk show.
By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.comWe were simply learning from others.
As a professor is quoted in the magazine article, conversation is for “airing ideas, umbrage and merriment, comparing experiences, sometimes expressing sympathy and sniffing out bull crap!”
In our conversation salon we sought out ideas, some of them uncomfortable and some perplexing, but it was never dull. It was a world devoid of routine but filled with human connection.
(Unlike our world as novelist Rachel Joyce describes in her newest novel, “These days it is all safe motorways and Uber, paying with your phone, and please keep your distance, and podcasts, and milk made with oats and meat made with plants and everything streamlined.”)
Conversation can result in ambiguity and surprise, things not found on smartphones and message boards and online structures. The professor believes that talking person-to-person and really listening to what each other has to say can change our minds “while sustaining our souls.”
“Ideas don’t move people on their own,” said a world champion debater. “People move people.” A sermon may temporarily force a person’s hand, but a realistic conversation is more like a helping hand.
American politics rely on an echo chamber where marching to a beat is superior to discerning complex ideas, and in many cases even family members are seemingly too busy for true conversations.
And that’s something to talk about!
Bryan Gray, a long-time Davis County resident, is a former school teacher and has been a columnist for more than 26 years in newspapers along the Wasatch Front. l
There are many complicating factors in this life of ours, and two of the most confusing are fear and pain. For the most part, we try to avoid these issues whenever possible, but that seems to be a mistake. Since they seem to be everywhere in mortality, it only makes sense that they must be purposeful and useful in our growth and development.
JOHN WATERBURYFear is not the deciding factor in managing life, and pain does not determine who wins. Yes, fear of the unknown can stir up anxiety, and uncertainty may take its toll in our lives. But ironically, we need them both. With that in mind, they need to be faced and embraced before we can sufficiently learn the lessons that only they can teach us.
Knowledge of Heavenly Father’s plan will enable us to face our fears and rise above them; not simply because of who we are but because of who Heavenly Father is. All of the issues mentioned above can be confronted and defeated when we understand them. And yet, until they are understood, they may appear to be too great to confront. With this in mind, these challenges need to be managed effectively. If we try to numb them out, run from them, or ignore them, they may seem unbearable. But they’re not.
It may also seem that life is intent on knocking us down, but ultimately fear and pain only have the power that we give them. And while we may be unable to defeat them quickly, we can manage them, and ultimately, we can take back our power.
In Mark 5:36 we find the guidance to step forward boldly: “Do not fear, only believe.” And Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf wrote: No one likes to fail but we mortals do not become champions without making
mistakes (end quote). Life seems to have the power to knock us down, but it is we who must choose whether to stay down or get up. We can be bent or broken by the challenges in life, but once again, ultimately it is we who must decide how we manage the battles. With this in mind, never underestimate yourself. You are more than you can comprehend. Your strengths will grow with every battle you face. Your clarity will expand with every decision you make to move forward. Nothing is wasted. Our success is our responsibility. Nobody can hand us success. To me, what this means is that we must never let our mistakes and poor choices determine either our happiness of the present, or our fear of the future.
It’s not about making the problems go away, but rather, it’s about learning from them until we can rise above them. Fortunately, we’re never too old to alter our course. So, set new goals. Dream new dreams. Learn the lessons that only pain and problems can teach. And most importantly, follow the “Light.” Life and light are endless. Enjoy the journey. Spread the word.
John Waterbury is a retired Clinical Mental Health Counselor who has lived in Utah since 1984 when he moved to Bountiful with his wife and four children. Since then, he has written a weekly column for several years for the Davis County Clipper titled “The Dear John Letters” which was also used throughout the intermountain West focusing on addiction and mental health problems. This new column will focus on mental health and life management issues. l
BOUNTIFUL—A lot has happened since Kendalyn Harris was sworn into office as Bountiful City Mayor in January of 2022. After completing her first year Harris is excited about what has taken place in Bountiful.
“We do have a great city,” she said. “Our city manager, council members, department heads, streets department are all so good. They go above and beyond. That makes such a difference to know they’re always going to be there whenever needed.”
Prior to being mayor, Harris served on the city council but said there were more duties as mayor.
“There are more meetings as mayor,” she said. “Such as Wasatch Front Regional and COG, more regional. It’s nice getting to know other mayors. It’s not just Bountiful’s interests but it all works together. What we’re doing doesn’t just stop at our city. There’s a ripple effect that has more impact on our residents.”
South Davis Metro Fire Department and the Sewer Department serve all of the residents in the county, said Harris. “If there’s an emergency we help each other as needed. I’m glad to be representing Bountiful’s interests and looking out for the residents.”
At the beginning of 2022 the city increased police pay, she said. “Our intention is to show our appreciation of law enforcement.”
Harris is also excited about the city’s general plan update. “It will guide us in determining what Bountiful will look like in 20 years,” she said. “For example, we can adopt changes to zoning so that as Bountiful evolves we’ll redevelop with a clear idea where apartments should go or not go. It’s an international plan.”

“I felt like such a newbie,” she said. “I decided ‘why not try it’ so I kept going. I’d always had a love of musical theater so I went and did it and I was completely hooked.”
Williams said she married the nerdy guy and they moved to California. “I was voted by my family as the one who would never leave home. I was the only one that left and I was gone for 12 years.”
At 28 years old, Williams got cancer. “I was six months pregnant with my son,” she said. “When someone patted me on the back it hurt and they found I had Stage 3 melanoma on my back. They wondered what to do when you have a baby inside and I needed treatment. When I gave birth he had all of his fingers and toes – he was fine.”
Williams said she felt super blessed. “I thought it was just a little bump. But
The city and planning commission kicked off the process in July. “We want to give the public a chance to weigh in on what should be preserved and what changes are necessary for growth.”
Streets and Sanitation Director Charles Benson came up with a way for the city to save money on recycling delivery, said Harris. “The city would pick up recycling
when my boys were 2 and 5 the cancer returned. I was at the top of my game, really fit and high on life and myself. I had chemo and surgery – it was harsh.”
It hit so hard that my mom had to take care of me, “I couldn’t take care of my sons,” she said. “I had to go home. It was hard.”
Williams was told she wouldn’t be able to have anymore kids. “That was a shock,” she said. “We were just about ready to start trying for a third. I wanted a girl, it was a hard blow.”
When they moved back to Utah, Williams said she decided to do what she loved to do. “I wanted to start a singing and dancing group. It was in the garage and I had eight girls that grew to 25 then to 300 kids. They were called the Show Stoppers. That was my first big business.”
Things were going so well, she said.
“Then in 2017 on New Year’s Eve I bent over in excruciating pain. I told my husband, ‘I think I’m dying, get me to
from homes and take it to the plant themselves instead of paying a third party to do it. The city would purchase the cans and instead of citizens paying the hauler the city would collect the fees from citizens.”
Another thing the city has been working on is a cityowned fiber network, Harris said. “We put out an RFP for infrastructure throughout the city. It will most likely be UTOPIA.”
They will install, operate and manage the fiber, she said. “We will own it so the city will have control over things like rates so we’re not at the mercy of something like Google Fiber that can raise rates. We’ll also use fiber for city needs like access to traffic light signals and irrigation. We’ll be in control instead of paying someone else. Within the next few months we should be able to move forward.”
There is a lot of trail development too, said Harris. “It’s exciting. There has been more progress than we’ve ever made on trails in Bountiful. The city has bid out for 21 miles of trails for construction in 2023.”
Construction is underway on the new park where Washington Elementary was, she said. “It’s being built after the public voted in favor of a Bond. The playground is ordered, a skate park is designed and pickleball courts will be added.”
Harris said what she loves about being mayor is the people she gets to interact with. “It’s kids, businesses, other mayors that I’ve gotten to know and the connections I’ve made have been so fun. There have been some curve balls thrown my way but I think I’ve got a good grasp on it. Thanks to good people, when they come we’ll be able to handle it.” l
the hospital.’ An ovary had burst. It was about the size of a grapefruit. I had Stage 3 ovarian cancer.”
Williams said she didn’t want to hear it after two times. “I knew what I was headed into. I had to shut the doors of my school. I couldn’t teach. Chemo does a number on you. You lose your hair, nose hair, eyebrows. I was bald from head to toe.”
She was at a low point then an amazing thing happened, said Williams. “Someone decided to give me grace. My students showed up at my home and sang on my doorstep. I was filled with hope. Something reignited in me and Hopebox was born.”
In 2019, Williams was with a group of theater kids at Disneyland when she started having problems. “I had to have one of the instructors drive me home,” she said. “I couldn’t move. I had a feeling and had a colonoscopy. I knew when the nurse came in I looked at my husband and
said ‘I’ve got cancer.’ I had Stage 3 colon cancer. I had it when I had ovarian cancer but didn’t know it.”
The tough times didn’t end there. “My oldest became a major drug addict,” said Williams. “That’s a really hard part of my story. While I was battling colon cancer and fighting for my life and my son’s life the love of my life had an affair on me. That’s what destroyed me.”
Williams said she would take four times of cancer over that every day of the week. “I’m still married to my husband. I’m still working on my marriage. That’s been the biggest challenge of my life.”
The more grateful someone is, the more grace steps in, she said. “Grace is giving kindness to ourselves and to others even when it’s hard. You can’t purchase grace, it is a gift. No matter how long you live, that's the one thing everyone needs. You can’t give away what you don’t have.” l
Come play with Davis County Museums during April Architectural Adventures. Everyone is invited to participate in a county-wide scavenger hunt during April. Visit local museums to learn more about the homes and buildings in each area designed by well-known local architect William Allen. Each participant will receive a lanyard and button at the first museum. Collect an additional button at each museum visit.
Some of the historical Allen buildings are still standing, and trips to each building will allow participants to scavenge for itty bitty architectural details featured on a clue handout. A link to an online tour of more buildings will be provided. Ask at each museum for more information on activities and exhibits specific to each locale. The Fielding Garr Ranch will participate in a unique activity representative of Antelope Island.
The Architectural Event is the first collaboration between the recently organized Davis County Museums organization, and more activities are planned for the future. Representatives have been working together since January. The impetus for collaborative activities was the suggestion of the former director of the Heritage Museum of Layton, who had created an exhibit featuring William Allen blueprints.
Kaysville architect remembered
By
Bill SandersKaysville architect, William Allen, was truly a remarkable man. He was the designer and builder of 100 documented buildings in Utah, Idaho and Arizona–six of which are listed on the National Historic Register.
Allen was born in London, England. As a youth, he learned the skills of bricklaying and stone masonry. When he came to Utah Territory in 1862, he used the skills he had learned in England to make a living. However, after working in these trades for several years, he decided that he could make a better living as an architect. Consequently, he enrolled in an architectural course at the International Correspondence School in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The course had 12 lessons in drafting, design, the structural strength of materials, heating, ventilation, mason work, carpentry, etc.
After completing nine of the 12 required lessons with “high honors,” Allen
Centerville’s Heritage Museum
decided he knew enough to start designing and building homes and commercial buildings. One of the earliest Kaysville homes designed by Allen was the John R. Barnes home, and after building this home, he decided he would not bother to complete the last three correspondence lessons. However, throughout his long career, Allen did study extensively, completing several other courses to keep up with new building materials and techniques.
Allen’s local buildings are impressive: John R. Barnes home, 1880*; Kaysville Presbyterian Church, 1887*; Kaysville Academy, 1888; Kaysville City Hall, 1889; Farmers Union Store, 1890*; Henry H. Blood home, 1896*; John G .M. Barnes home, 1896*; E. P. Ellison home, 1896*; John H. Layton home, 1897*; John W. Gailey home, 1897; Syracuse LDS Meetinghouse, 1897; Hyrum Stewart home, 1898*; Thomas J. Smith home, 1899*; Davis County Courthouse, 1899; George W. Layton home, 1899*; Hooper Opera House, 1901; West Layton LDS meetinghouse, 1901; First National Bank of Layton, 1905*; Kaysville Barnes Block, 1910*; Kaysville Opera House, 1911; Kaysville LDS Tabernacle, 1912*; Davis High School, 1914; and the Kaysville Elementary School, 1905-1918 (*these buildings are still standing).
In 1899, the Davis County Clipper reported, “Our architect, William Allen, recently won some more laurels on account of his scientific knowledge of architectural engineering. He answered correctly every question given in a building inspector's examination, in which one practical builder said there was no man in any state who could answer all of them correctly. Yet Allen found no difficulty at all in answering them. He contributed an article on this examination to the Building Trade's Magazine, which is published in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Allen also recently sent plans and specifications for a bridge across Bear River to the commissioners of Box Elder County, which plans were adopted.”
In 1904, Allen was asked to submit some of his plans and designs to be displayed in the International Correspondence School’s exhibit at the World’s Fair in St. Louis.
Toward the end of his life, Allen lost his hearing, so he was called “irascible, feisty and conceited” by some who worked with him. He was also described as a “self-made perfectionist; he couldn’t abide shoddy work.” Allen was some-

times critical of other architects’ work. Allen died October 14, 1928, in Ogden. His obituary noted that he “understood architecture thoroughly, under-
standing the strength of materials–wood, iron and concrete, and that many of his buildings will last for many generations.”
Events will run the entire month of April

Bountiful Lake, sometimes called the Bountiful Pond offers year round beauty and recreation for people and pets. People, horses and dogs are regularly seen taking the loop around the lake which is a combination of paved trail, dirt path and two metal bridges. The Lake freezes solid for periods of time in the winter allowing for ice skating and ice fishing. In the summer, fishing along the shore and in boats is a common activity. Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards are allowed on the lake. Motorized boats are not allowed in the lake, though just North of the lake a gravel road leads to a dock that allows motorized boats to explore the wetlands to the west. The only way to access the lake is by heading west on 500 South in West Bountiful. Once you cross the Legacy interchange, the road turns to the north. A couple miles to the north, right before the landfill, the lake can be viewed including an access road that leads to a free parking lot and boat ramp. The Bountiful Lions Club has provided a covered group picnic area, bathrooms, as well as several “varmint resistant trash receptacles” around the lake. These make it easy to clean up after your pets and keep the areas pristine. If you have a street bike or stroller, you may want to avoid the rougher north shore and just take the smooth, flat path going clockwise around the lake and returning the same way once you hit the metal bridge over the outlet of the Lake.
In the summer, swimming is allowed though maybe not desirable since the water is not drinkable and has a fishy smell. Most summer visitors take advantage of the fishing and family (pets included) recreation opportunities on or around the lake. Several family side picnic tables are situated around the Lake. The water is regularly stocked with Rainbow Trout, Bullhead Catfish, and Rainbow Albino. Bass, Carp and Perch are also residents of the Lake. A fishing license is required for adults and the daily limit is two fish. If fishermen catch a largemouth bass, they are asked to release this fish back into the Lake.
Throughout the year, a variety of birds make Bountiful Lake their home. Large flocks of seagulls, duck and geese are often seen. A huge pelican, white with black wings, also calls the lake home. The American Avocet, with long legs and a thin long beak likes to wade in the shallows of the lake flaunting their striking black and white wings and orange/brown head. The tall pampas grass surrounding the lake provides food and shelter for these wetland birds.
The lake was created when the clay soil was dug up to build the nearby landfill and has an island in the center that is the preferred nesting site for the native birds. The loop walk is often breathtaking as both sunsets and sunrises illuminate the Wasatch Range and reflect in the water and ice. The Lake is open from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. for the enjoyment of people and their pets. l

“We had our chances to win,” said Head Coach Todd Street. “We had a great defensive performance led by strong pitching from Ellie Black and Serena Roth. Our catcher Rayleigh Starnes is playing amazing. We were just one or two plays away from the upset. We will go back to work and see if we can get a little better.”
Starnes brought in all four of Davis’ runs in the loss.
The Darts’ games with Lone Peak, Weber and Northridge were cancelled this week.
Davis is 5-2 on the young season.

Viewmont Viewmont pulled out a close one with Highland 12-11 March 22.
“It was a great game and was very entertaining all the way until the last second,” said Head Coach Daniel Derrick. “We stumbled a bit in the first quarter with simple passing and catching which caused lots of unexpected and unnecessary turnovers. Sometimes I want to throw my eight-yearold son in there to show them how it’s done! The game was back and forth, but the players of the game were our faceoff guys [Mason Gerrard and Kai Horlacher] who completly dominated the center of the field. We won because of them, 100 percent.”

Oneof the best things about being in high school is the extracurricular activities that take place. And one of these is participating in the theater program. For many students on many different paths, the theater is a way they can find camaraderie and meaning. For teachers and staff, it’s a way to connect with the school, students and community.
So, in order to fully understand these benefits, the community should understand the program. Part of that understanding is knowing what goes into making a school musical or other theatrical production. From stage lighting crews to the actors themselves, these productions involve tons of people and many hours of coordinated work and effort.
Wendy Oltmanns, the theater teacher at Viewmont High School, knows what it takes to make these productions work. For the class Production’s Theatre Company which she teaches, students learn the different aspects of putting on a show. “My passion is storytelling; stories invigorate, encourage and enlighten,” said Oltmanns. “It is through storytelling that our memories live, that we learn how similar we are, and learn to accept and love.”
From set building to choreography, by the time students complete Oltmanns’ classes, they have a better grasp of what it takes to work in the theater industry. However, no matter which high school program is completed, all theater teachers agree that these classes help students learn how to cope better in the world.
“It’s a way to meet new people and make new friends,” said 11th grader Jacob Bush. “I can use my talents to help people, and it will be helpful for future jobs with knowing how to stay calm and good with communication.” Bush will be portraying Daddy Warbucks in the upcoming production of Annie at the high school in April. Auditions and character work
Gaining a cast is one of the first parts of putting on any production. Any good director knows that they can’t have a show without actors. The process of auditioning can be stressful, but it can also be rewarding.
“I started out loving singing,” said 10th grader Quincy Williams, who will portray Annie in the upcoming production. “My parents were involved in theater before and encouraged me to join. So, in elementary, I did tons of shows, including Annie. I’m so excited about being able to do Annie again.”
Character work in theater refers to developing a character for a theatrical production by analyzing backstory, motivations and emotional range to create a believable and compelling character for the audience.
Oltmanns had every student participating in the show do some character work before they started rehearsals. This included researching the play, who they were portraying and what the character would wear for clothing during that time period.
“I’ve always loved storytelling, even as a kid,” said 10th grader Evie Cook. “I get to portray people who aren’t me. “I feel like I was pretty destined that this was what I was going to do.”
Costumes
Creating a costume for any show requires collaboration and creativity. Putting together a costume for a theatrical production can be a fun and creative process. Working closely with the director and the actors can help to create costumes that enhance the production and bring the characters to life on stage.
While many of the kids had difficulty coming up with their costumes, Oltmanns was there to assist. She worked to help the students understand how to gather their materials and develop the necessary parts of each costume. While the character for Annie may be simple to costume, a plain red dress with bloomers, the other characters had to create their costumes from available materials that the high school had on hand.
“There are a lot of great people involved in this production, and I can always ask for advice,” said 10th grader Ethan Nielsen. “It’s been really fun so far to be involved.”
Blocking, choreography and music
Blocking and choreography are important for a theater production because they help to create a cohesive and visually engaging performance. Blocking refers to the positioning of actors on stage, while choreography refers to the movement and dance sequences performed by actors. These elements work together to create a sense of flow and rhythm in the production.
These theatrical processes also help visually communicate the production’s story and emotions to the audience. Directors use them to highlight key moments and themes and create a sense of being throughout a performance. Good blocking and choreog-

raphy help to create pacing and momentum throughout a production. They can be used to speed up or slow down the action of the play or musical and create dynamic contrasts between different parts of a performance.
Without music, there wouldn’t be a musical. However, even in a play, music is important. Music plays a significant role in any production by setting the tone, enhancing emotions, adding depth and meaning, smoothing transitions and setting the time period. It can create a sense of mood and atmosphere and highlight important themes and motifs throughout the production. Music can also help establish the characters’ emotional state by emphasizing their feelings and motivations through appropriate musical scores.
“I think “Maybe” is my favorite song because it’s really tender, and I like to get into that part of the character,” said Williams. She also said that using pre-recorded music is easier than having an orchestra pit because there are better cues for her to follow on stage.
Building the set takes time, and for Annie, 12th grader Russell Fullmer even had to figure out how to build bunks beds with what was already available.
“I just show up when I’m supposed to and do what I’m told,” said Fullmer. “Tech is better than acting because it’s more hands on, and it’s fun, so I keep doing it.” Fullmer has been involved in theater productions since seventh grade.
Set building for any production involves multiple steps to create a visually captivating stage design to complement the storyline and enhance the experience. Throughout the process, it’s essential to work closely with the production team, director and actors to bring the set design to life. The technical workings of each set must ensure that it functions properly and meets the needs of the production.
Once the show is over, it all must come down. The students help with this striking and cleaning by sweeping the stage, taking down all of the backdrops and putting props back into their proper places for storage. This also includes dismantling the set and putting costumes away for use in a future production. “It typically takes three days to put the pit back together after a show,” said Oltmanns.
So, the most important part of any production, from a play to a musical, will vary depending on the student, director, teacher and anyone else involved. But auditions and character work, costumes, blocking, choreography and music, set building and props, and striking and cleaning the set are all crucial components to the success of any theatrical production. l
As we enter the popular spring homebuying season, Utah’s housing market looks very different than it did a year ago. In spring 2022, the Beehive State’s home prices had experienced record growth, shooting up nearly 30% from the previous year. As of February 2023, home prices had fallen 7.6% annually, according to the latest data available from the Utah Association of Realtors.
In May 2022, Utah’s median home price peaked at $535,050. In February 2023, the state’s median home price was at $464,000.
What precipitated this change was a series of interest rate hikes aimed at taming inflation, including housing inflation. From March 2022 through March 2023, the Federal Reserve raised rates nine times. The Federal Funds Rate, which is indirectly tied to the mortgage rate, marched up from 0.25% to 5%, propelling the 30-year fixed mortgage to increase from around 4.5% to the 6-7% range.
A goal of these interest rate increases has been to soften demand for housing and bring down housing inflation, preventing the kind of boom and bust that occurred 15 years ago when housing prices jumped and then crashed, adding to the pain of the Great Recession of 2008-2009. It seems to be working.
As higher mortgage rates cut into home affordability, fewer prospective buyers entered the Utah housing market. Homes
stayed on the market longer, prompting some sellers to drop their asking price or accept lower offers. The Utah Association of Realtors reports a 99% increase in the number of homes for sale and a 22% decline in home sales from February 2022 to February 2023.
Rising interest rates have also slowed new home construction. Homebuilders obtained 3,419 housing building permits for Utah in January 2022, compared to only 1,776 building permits in January 2023, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The question many are asking is whether Utah home prices have hit the proverbial floor. The slowing inflation we’ve seen over the last eight months could mean home prices are headed back up. The state’s median home price rose slightly from January to February, from $455,000 to $464,000, but it’s too soon to tell if this trend will continue. If price pressures continue to ease, the Fed will be able to back off aggressive rate hikes, helping mortgage rates stabilize.
Utah’s strong population growth has helped sustain housing demand through the period of rising rates. Even with the market cooling, the state continues to face a housing shortage, which could be exacerbated by the deceleration in homebuilding.
Despite these challenges, the Beehive State’s housing market and economy remains strong. Utah's February 2023 unemployment rate was 2.4%, compared to the U.S. rate of 3.6%. And the state’s total employment increased by 2.8%, or 46,000 jobs over the last year. The Beehive State’s economy continues to show resilience and strength through market shifts.

Freda May Dana Young departed this earth on March 20, 2023, having lived a full life of 85 years. She was born in 1938 to Leland F. Dana and LaRue Kidd Dana.
Freda knew farm life early, then lived in trailers with her family as her father plied his dump truck business with his brothers in most of the western states. Her family finally kept to the state of Montana, and she filled a mission (1961 to 1963) to Northern California, suffering a car wreck. She recovered, but its effects shortened her service somewhat.
Her attention turned to finding a mate. For this, she moved to Salt Lake City, found a young man, and worked on him (Ron Young) for almost three years. They married in 1967, took up residence in southern California for Ron's job, and had two fine boys, Randy and Dana, and an active girl, Becky. During a family vacation in Salt Lake City, Becky accidentally suffocated. She wasn't yet three years old.
Freda served The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Primary, Relief Society and library. She helped her boys with their paper routes and took them to early morning seminary. For a few years, she worked at a home called Marisol, helping serve severely handicapped children.
Freda was an outstanding artist in oils; she left about 30 canvases. She had her family's green thumb, and each year had a vegetable garden. She was not afraid to wield a hammer or saw and even used a sledgehammer. She loved assisting the contractor on remodels to the house.
In the year 2000, Freda and Ron moved back to Utah to be closer to family. Freda
had knee surgery in 2013, which went well.
Freda went with Ron on missions: two in Ukraine (1996-2000), one for the Church Educational System in New Zealand (2002-2003) and one in the New York, New York North Mission (2006-2007). There she prepared a family of four for baptism. Thereafter, she served as a church service missionary at the church headquarters, helping in various areas. She also did indexing of census records and attended the temple weekly until the year 2020. Soon after, her dementia progressed, and she lived her last two years in a rest home, with Ron helping provide care for her. May Freda be remembered for her patience, love and forgiveness.
Predeceased by her parents and two brothers, Layne and Calvin, and her daughter, Becky, Freda leaves her husband, Ron, and her sons, Randy and Dana, and two sisters, LouDean Jolley and Marva Cook, and one brother, Guy Dana.
Freda donated her body to the University of Utah. There will be a small memorial service for Freda at a future date.

Q: Has Mia Farrow ever won an Oscar?
A: The snub goes deeper than that. Not only has she never won, she hasn’t even been nominated.
Despite being considered one of the great screen stars of the ‘60s and ‘70s, and having appeared in a number of highly regarded, very serious pieces of cinema, Mia Farrow (“Rosemary’s Baby,” 1968; “The Great Gatsby,” 1974) has never
been nominated for acting’s biggest prize.
Instead, she’s had to settle for a bunch of lesser awards. For example, she won a Golden Globe (arguably acting’s secondbiggest prize) for best newcomer for “Guns at Batasi” (1964), and a handful of best-actress awards from film festivals around the world.
You could argue that she instead spent her career making the people she worked with look good.
“Rosemary’s Baby,” her most celebrated film by far, was nominated for a couple of other Oscars. And her former husband, Woody Allen (“Hannah and Her Sisters,” 1986), was nominated for a whopping 10 Oscars for films he and Farrow did together. She was widely referred to as his “muse” at the time he was doing some of his best work.
Q: I know a lot of people talk about who the highest-paid actors are, but what about the highest-paid director?
A: It’s relatively straightforward to determine what actors are paid. The annual highest-paid-actors and -actresses lists, which get a lot of attention, as you say, are generally based on the paychecks the stars receive from studios to appear in their films. The question is less clear for directors, though, whose compensation often comes not from a salary but from back-end results tied to how the film performs.
This makes sense in a lot of ways. Directors are generally considered to be more responsible for how a film does at the box office, so it makes sense to tie their compensation to results.
For the same reasons, the media more often talks about the highest-grossing directors, rather than the highest-paid ones. (We’re also, as a society, a little less interested in knowing about the lavish lifestyles of the people behind the cameras than the people in front of them.)
With that in mind, it might not surprise you to know the highest-grossing director of all time is a guy by the name of Steven Spielberg. Thanks to a consistent string of hits reaching all the way back to the ‘70s (including 1993’s “Jurassic Park” and 1982’s “E.T. the Extra-terrestrial” as just two examples), he tops the list, having grossed more than $10 billion.

After a rocky start to his year, Jeremy Renner is back in action and ready to save the world once more. But this time, he’s setting aside his MCU hat and working to make the world a better, more functional place, one project at a time.
As Renner continues recovering from a snowplow accident that left him gravely injured at the beginning of January, Disney+ is bringing a lighter new adventure to the screens. Reimagining unique, purpose-built vehicles to meet a community’s particular needs, Renner’s new series goes behind the scenes as he — a construction veteran — his best friend and business partner, Rory Millikin, and an all-star construction crew travel the globe hoping to make life a little easier everywhere they go. The four-part docuseries, “Rennervations,” premieres Wednesday, April 12, on the Disney streamer.
Jeremy Lee Renner was born to Valerie Renner (née Tague) and bowling alley manager Lee Renner on Jan. 7, 1971, in the central Californian city of Modesto. Unlike many actors who grew up feeling a call to the stage or screen, Renner explored several other options before finding his path to Hollywood. After graduation, he considered all manner of fields, from criminology and psychology to computer science, before finally becoming drawn to the freedom of expression in Modesto Junior College’s theater program.
From that point, Renner’s path to fame included stops at San Francisco’s American Conservatory Theater and a brief stint living in Hawaii. In 1993, he finally settled in Los Angeles and began his career.
