Record snowpack conditions compared to floods of 1983

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—It was 40 years ago in May that flooding turned downtown State Street into a river and people were sandbagging everywhere. With record snow storms hitting the area there are concerns of a repeat of 1983. County and city leaders are waiting and watching but believe they are prepared.

“The state did a lot of things to deal

with runoff,” said Commission Chair Lorene Kamalu. “They tasked the county to put in additional infrastructure for flood control. Those have been in place and have been tested and they have performed well.”

Those are maintained year round, she said. “They’re making rounds constantly to those flood control channels.”

“Significant work has been done to upgrade infrastructure throughout the county in an effort to mitigate flood flows and reduce the possibility of flooding,” a Davis

Weber State student helps design and build community center in Kenya

CLEARFIELD—Most college kids spend spring break relaxing and having fun. Sadie Wood spent hers in Taru, Kenya building a community center from the ground up. The Weber State senior and Clearfield High graduate helped design the building then watched it take shape.

“In September I participated in the Weber State University Interdisciplinary Design Charette,” said Wood. “It’s a 48-hour competition where you don’t know anything you will be designing. You’re put in a group with students from building design and construction management. The team has to build a model and make renderings to show to the judges and give a presentation.”

There are five or more people in the group, she said. “We took first place and I received $1,000 toward completing the project.”

Finland joins NATO

Several months after petitioning to join the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, the mutual defense partnership of primarily Western European countries, Finland has officially become a member state. Internationally, the news was received positively outside of Russia and several allied countries. Sweden, who like Finland has been invaded by the former Soviet state in the past, is waiting for its membership to be accepted as well.

Jury selection begins in Vallow Daybell trial

Jury selection started Monday, April 3, 2023 in the disturbing murder trial of Lori Vallow Daybell, the Idaho woman accused of killing her two youngest children and her husband's late-wife nearly three years ago. The court aims to get to a pool of 42 potential jurors in order to narrow down to their 12 jurors and six alternates, who will be the final jurors overseeing the trial. At the end of the day Monday, the court only had 17 jurors they passed on to the next phase. None of the potential jurors from the last group of the day made it through, as their presence on the trial was mostly challenged by attorneys.

Astronauts selected for first moon mission in 50 years

County Commission release said. “In 2011 snowpack levels were similar to this year’s and there was no notable flooding. However, moisture is still accruing.”

“We’re optimistic about the snow melting,” said Bountiful City Manager Gary Hill. “There is a major culvert system in the natural stream beds that runs through the canyons that go to the retention basins.”

Waterways are managed and monitored

Astronauts who will helm the first crewed moon mission in five decades were revealed on Monday, queuing up the quartet to begin training for the historic Artemis II lunar flyby that is set to take off in November 2024.NASA and the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) announced the four astronauts who will venture around the Moon on Artemis II, the first crewed mission on NASA’s path to establishing a long-term presence at the Moon for science and exploration through Artemis. The agencies revealed the crew members Monday during an event at Ellington Field near NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston. The crew assignments are as follows: Commander Reid Wiseman, Pilot Victor Glover, Mission Specialist 1 Christina Hammock Koch, and Mission Specialist 2 Jeremy Hansen. They will work as a team to execute an ambitious set of demonstrations during the flight test.

Trump first president to face criminal charges

Former President Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony counts for falsifying business records in a historic and unprecedented court appearance in Manhattan Tuesday.

Prosecutors alleged Trump sought to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election through a hush money scheme with payments made to women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump. Trump who has denied all wrongdoing and the affairs – is the first current or former president in U.S. history to face criminal charges.

by Davis County, he said. “We work closely with the county to check those on a regular basis to make sure the inlets are clear of debris. On the city’s end we regularly monitor and clean out storm drain inlets.”

Hill said their major concern now is if there is a large rainstorm. “We get them in August sometimes but they don’t typically happen this time of year. It could potentially affect the drain storm and create flooding but that is a small chance since we have the culverts.”

It’s melting beautifully just like it’s supposed to, he said. “In ‘83 there was snow and the temperature jumped to the low 80s overnight. Even in that scenario because of what’s in place I don’t think it will be a problem.”

Kamalu said it’s important that residents do their part. “‘Free the debris.’ They need to make sure that their belongings are picked up and clear the path for water flows so it doesn’t block the channels.”

The county suggests the following things property owners can do to reduce the impacts of flooding:

• Keep children and pets away from flood control channels.

• Keep debris and floatables away from the stream banks. Chairs, tables, fire pits and fire wood, garden tools, toys and equipment can all be carried away by high water flows. If this debris collects at the entrance of a culvert downstream, it can block the water from being able to pass into the culvert. At that point the water has nowhere to go except for out of its designated banks.

• Use sandbags to protect your doorways and window wells. Remove sandbags once flood flows have slowed down.

Residents need to know what to do to protect their homes, said Kamalu. “Watch for places where you’ve noticed before that water wants to go like window wells.”

Bountiful City is offering sandbags to residents who want them. “They can fill up to 12 bags and we have sand available,” said Hill. “If there is a problem in the spring

we can quickly deploy sandbags and we’re working with the emergency preparedness team who can get mobilized quickly if they need to. We’re very comfortable where

things stand right now.”

The community is incredible, he said. “They respond whether it’s a storm or anything else.” l

Wood’s design was for the organization Kenya Keys. “They pair communities with sponsors from the U.S.,” she said. “Many of the kids there can’t attend school because their families are poor. It is a long way and they can’t pay for boarding so most quit after the eighth grade.”

They were given a list of the community’s needs and wants, she said. “Then we designed a building with that concept. I was able to go to Kenya and help build that building.”

It’s meant to be a gathering place, said Wood. “Something they can value as a community. There is a kitchen where they can cook and a space for teaching so it’s cool.”

Wood was there from March 1 – 11. “It was cool to see the construction of the building,” she said. “It was built using their methods. We were sawing boards by hand and shoveling and backfilling by hand. We mortared bricks that they made by hand. We’re trying to learn from them.”

The workers are paid by the day, said Wood. “Different people would come on site. Most didn’t speak too much English so it was fun to try and see how they do things and then totally botch them.”

The inspiration for the building was based on the Kenyan landscape, she said. “We looked at the area and colors and used bricks that matched the land. We wanted to make what they really valued.”

Wood said the people were the highlight of her trip. “We were met by some elderly men who were dressed in traditional wear and danced. Everyone always wanted to dance. We ate meals at their homes and the women would cook for us. It was neat to meet them. I’ve gained some Facebook friends for sure.”

Wood will graduate this month in interior design and building design and construction. “I have a full-time job at an interior design firm,” she said. “I’d love to go back (to Kenya) if I have the opportunity.” l

Employment numbers rise in Davis County

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

KAYSVILLE—Utah’s employment rate is on the rise with an increase of 2.8% over the past 12 months and the state added a cumulative 46,400 jobs since January 2022. Davis County saw an increase of 2.2% from January 2022 to January 2023, according to a report by the Utah Department of Workforce Services.

“Of course our state continues to grow and we have a business friendly environment,” said Davis County Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Angie Osguthorpe. “Our migration from people out of state is close to the national rate because there is opportunity here. Every year we’re named the best state for business, economy, etc. which is interesting for such a small state.”

Davis County is the smallest in land space but third in population in the state, she said. “A lot of construction is going on because of the legislative appropriation from last year. That’s great. We didn’t get hit as hard.”

Utah has one of the youngest workforce, said Osguthorpe. “They’re highly educated and lots of them are bilingual so we’re getting more jobs. We also have the Aerospace contracts that help.”

“Utah begins the new year right where the old one left off, with a strong economy employing large amounts of new

labor,” said Department of Workforce Services’ Chief Economist Mark Knold in the release. “Each year in January, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reviews the past year’s employment rates and makes revisions based on updated information. The year-end revisions for 2022 show an economy that grew more rapidly than originally estimated. Interestingly, the unemployment rates for 2022 were revised slightly upward. This shows that more people were looking for work last year. This is a reflection on the strength of the 2022 economy as more people felt confident to go looking for a job. It also helps to explain how the economy continued to grow in the face of limited labor availability.”

The Chamber is seeing people opening all different kinds of businesses, Osguthorpe said. “There are restaurants, construction and other entrepreneurial businesses. The Chamber provides training, networking and we protect companies through the legislative process and regulations. We’re always looking for companies to join and get that support.”

Growth is helpful to Davis County, she said. “But the cost of housing and infrastructure goes up. But it’s better to be in a high growth mode. The natural rate of population growth makes people want to start a business here.”

Donation helps pantry’s mission to serve those in need

NORTH SALT LAKE—The Center of Hope Food Pantry’s mission is to feed and clothe those in need. The small pantry tucked in the business strip off Orchard Drive in North Salt Lake has seen an increase of patrons and counts on donations to continue to serve them. Last week, they received that help as Wanship transportation employees delivered 2,000 pounds of food to the center.

“We’re a moderate food pantry with 41 members,” said Mary Ellen Dworshak, grant writer for the Ladies of Charity who oversee the center. “We are trying to reach the community at large for support. We’re serving 1,400 people each month. A year ago it was 200 – 300 a month. The need has grown.”

“We’re an independently owned trucking company,” said Tracy Cranor, community outreach and loads planner. “We deliver partial pieces of orders to Walmart, Smith’s, etc. this is the second year reaching out to the communities to help where we can.”

The company held a food drive through the month of March, she said. “We donated food, cash and items of clothing for kids. It’s wonderful working with the ladies over there.”

Cranor said sometimes they have times when orders are damaged or refused. “We don’t want to just throw it away. Letting it be put to use means a lot to us. Sixty pound bags of rice can feed a lot of families. We want to help the community as best we can and give them those resources to help their resources.”

The Center of Hope Food Pantry is located at 75 S. Orchard Drive, North Salt Lake. The food store is open Mondays from 5 – 7 p.m., Tuesdays from 3 – 6 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m. The center also has a thrift store that is open Mondays from 5 – 7 p.m. Wednesdays from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. where everything is half price, and Saturdays from 10 a.m. – 1 p.m.

Dworshak said the center can always use donations of paper products, diapers, oil, floor, sugar and other dry goods. To make a cash donation visit ladiesofcharitynorthernutah.org. l

As we head into the Easter celebration and hopefully a mild entrance into spring – there is the traditional moist and fluffy angel food cake that comes to mind. It has always been a crowd pleaser (especially for my parents) This year I have learned and incorporated a slight twist to this recipe…now it is a daffodil cake (yes – I added some of the egg yolks)

All angel food cake tips should be followed:

*Do not grease the angel food cake pan

*When separating the eggs – separate yoke from white in a separate dish, then add the white to the mixing bowl (any yoke brings down the egg white peaks – and you are doing 12 eggs)

*Cool cake upside down so the cake does not collapse.

Please read through this recipe a couple of times, so it makes sense to you (and you have gathered all your room temperature ingredients).

Welcome to a new season!

By Lisa Hicks

From Lisa’s Kitchen: DAFFODIL CAKE

INGREDIENTS:

Cake:

1 C Flour

2 T Cornstarch

1 1/2 C Sugar, divided (3/4, 1/4 & 1/2)

6 Egg yolks, room temperature

1 t Vanilla

12 Egg whites, room temperature

1 t Cream of Tartar

1/4 t Salt

1 T Lemon juice

Strawberry Mash

Zest of one Lemon (no white pith)

1/4 C Sugar

1 quart Strawberries, hulled

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 325°. If your angel cake pan does not have a removable bottom, trace the base, cut out the ring, placing it in the bottom of the pan.

Using a sifter or fine mesh sieve, sift together in a bowl (3x) –flour, cornstarch and 3/4 C sugar.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment or hand mixer, whip six egg yolks and 1/4 C sugar on high until it is very light in color (about 8-10 minutes). Whip in Vanilla. Reserve this mixture to the side.

In another mixer bowl with a cleaned whisk attachment, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt on high until foamy (about 30 seconds). Continue to whip until the top layer looks like bubble bath. Begin to add 1/2 C sugar about a tablespoon at a time. Continue to whip until the mixture is whipped to medium peaks (billowy marshmallow not shaving cream). Add in lemon juice and combine. Remove egg white mixture and sift in 1/4 of flour mix. Make an exaggerated motion of folding over to incorporate flour. A few flour streaks will remain. Do this three more times with a 1/4 of flour mixture each time. Add 1/3 of egg white mixture to bowl with egg yolk mixture. Fold

again with large folding strokes so that no white streaks remain. To layer batter, gently pour 1/3 of white batter into the pan, spreading it with a rubber spatula to cover the bottom, repeat with 1/2 of yellow batter, spreading it to cover white layer. Alternate between batters. Smooth the top layer.

Bake, rotating the cake 180° at the 60 minute mark, until the top springs back to touch and the cake is golden brown (75-90 min.) Remove from the oven and invert to cool (for two hours). May need to balance on a slim neck bottle. We want to retain the height and lightness – so do not unmold when warm – wait until completely cooled.

Using a thin knife, run the knife around the outer edges of the pan and inner tube, freeing it from its base.

Before serving, make Strawberry Mash. Massage zest and sugar together in a large bowl for two minutes (between fingers) Add strawberries. Use a potato masher or back of a fork to create chunks and juices. Let macerate for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

News stories from yesteryear in Davis County

Compiled by Alisha Copfer

1923

The quarterly conference of directors of the Utah state farm bureau was closed last night with the adoption of a wage agreement for the handling of the beet crop. The president of the bureau reported the organization in good condition and growing. It now has a membership of 9,000 with prospects of 12,000 before the end of the year, is out of debt and holds the confidence of the farmers.

1933

It is reported from Moscow that two doctors of the institution for blood transfusion have devised an “artificial heart” with which very remarkable results have been achieved in operations on dogs. With its help they succeeded in restoring the symptoms of life to the complete organism of a dog. The surgeon then carried out a series of operations on the hearts of living dogs with the help of the “artificial heart,” the real heart being put out of action for four and a half minutes.

1943

A concerted salvage campaign for rags, silk hose, fats and tin cans started Thursday in Davis County, a long awaited campaign by residents, who have made numerous inquiries within the past few months regarding collection of these urgently needed materials. Those in charge of the drive are requesting the complete cooperation of all parents of school children in the county, in assembling and sending the salvage to places.

1953

Davis county’s annual rat abatement campaign will be staged here Thursday, Friday and Saturday, announced a county agent. The wonder bait warfarin will be furnished free to adults by city and county officials. The poison will be dispensed only on

signature. Sponsoring the campaign are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the vocational agriculture Department at Davis High School, the Davis County health department and county agricultural extension service.

1963

The new Bountiful well, being drilled on the north line of the planned north Bountiful High School, has been bottomed out at 750 feet. However, it will be drilled another seven feet below the casing. Templeton and Link, the consulting engineer, is very optimistic about the well. There is a good possibility it will produce 600 to 900 gallons per minute, after surging, perforating and chemically treating the well.

1973

More than 100 million Girl Scout cookies were sold in 1972. Girls nine years and older practice small business – making the sale, fielding complaints, doing paperwork and coping with the red tape – by selling cookies. In general, cookie profits are split between the troops and their local Girl Scout council.

1983

You know you are in for a lively public meeting when ground rules for public behavior must first be set especially when the first rule is “No Violence.” Just such a meeting was held last Wednesday evening at the Clearfield City offices when both supporters and opponents to the proposed Davis County Resource Recovery Plant battled to lure public officials into being for or against the project. The plant’s supporters, who originally called the meeting to answer the questions of elected city officials in North Davis County, were represented by three “experts.”

WOODS CROSS—A coach at the USA Gymnastics World in Woods Cross is facing multiple charges for allegedly secretly filming children and adults in a unisex restroom at the gym.

On March 3, the Woods Cross Police Department received a report of a hidden camera, disguised as a charging block for a cell phone, in the unisex restroom at the facility. The device contained a micro-SD card that held more than 500 files, police said. After reviewing the files that were recorded in the middle of October of 2022, detectives found footage of more than 70 individuals who had been se-

cretly recorded. Investigators were also able to identify the person who placed the camera as Adam Richard Jacobs, 33 of Woods Cross, one of the owners and coaches at the gym. Jacobs was arrested March 22 on numerous counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, a second degree felony and voyeurism, a class A misdemeanor. Currently all of the victims have been identified by law enforcement and they are working to notify them as quickly as possible. “At this time, we know the illicit activity was limited to electronic monitoring and we have no evidence to suggest any children were physically abused,” a Woods Cross Police release said. Investigators believe Jacobs acted alone and that no other coach or employee was involved. The Woods Cross Police Department’s Electronic Storage Detection canine verified there were no other hidden devices in the complex.

SAFETY FIRST

First of the month safety tips for everyone in Davis County

Springtime safety tips

courtesy of Davis County Sheriff's Office

Despite all the snow we’ve been getting, it is officially springtime in Utah. Soon, many of you will be outside enjoying our beautiful surroundings. In preparation for that, consider a few things first.

● Northern Utah will experience a pattern of warm weather, rain, and snow over the coming weeks, which may lead to flooding in our area. You can prepare by moving piled-up snow away from basement window wells and clearing your gutters of any debris.

● Once we finally break from this cold, wet weather, more people will emerge from their wintertime hibernation. We will begin experiencing higher rates of auto-pedestrian, auto-bicycle, and auto-motorcycle accidents. As individuals are out playing or recreating on the roads, wearing light-colored clothing or safety vests is wise to remain

as visible as possible. Always check traffic before crossing the streets and wear safety equipment such as helmets. Drivers also need to be vigilant of pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists by constantly being on the lookout and obeying posted speed limits.

● Though we live in a beautiful area and are very fortunate to have views of the mountains, it poses a significant fire risk in the summer when vegetation dries out. The spring is a great time to create a safe barrier around your property by removing all dead or dying plants within 30 feet of each building or structure. Also, ensure any trees are trimmed of dead branches and dying foliage is pruned and maintained.

An ‘Ode to Winter’ make the snow stop!

As I write this, the snow continues its assault. Six inches, give or take, and another storm coming in two days. I don’t think I’ve seen summer since before the pandemic. Like me, many of you are shouting at the sky: “STOP THIS HARASSMENT!”

But you’ve called in late for work

Maybe a song can ease our soul. Here’s my version of “Ode to Winter” sung to the simple melody of Bob Dylan’s “Blowin’ in the Wind:”

How many times must a blizzard strike

Before we say ‘enough is enough?’

How many times must five inches fall

Snarling the traffic with slush?

There’s no answer my friend, Snow’s now sideways in the wind

Another day I’m just staying in.

How many snow squalls must we suffer

Before it is more than we can take?

Water content is at an all-time high

Bountiful will soon be a lake

There is reason for fears

To hell with the skiers

Woods Cross is building a pier.

BY BRYAN GRAY GLENN MOLETTE AUTHOR

And the kids are going berserk.

How cold can it get

Before the temps drop even lower?

How many times have you whined

You should have bought that darn snowblower?

Get angry and pout

So much for that drought!

Four seasons – that’s what Utah’s about.

(brief guitar solo before refrain)

Well the answer, I’m just saying

With all the moisture we’re retaining Gov. Cox, we can now stop our praying.

Eventually every school system in America will have to fence in every school and put an armed guard at every gate. Inside the school building cameras will have to be focused on doors and vulnerable glass windows and someone will have to monitor all the cameras. Some school systems will be slow on adding such security but lawsuits from teachers will eventually bring more stringent security into reality.

The Nashville shooting of three children and three adult workers was another heinous act carried out by a deranged person. Someone who commits such an act is beyond mentally ill, they have become mentally deranged. Sadly, the individual waited too long to get psychological help.

I don’t want to mention the shooter’s name because too much attention is given to people who kill innocent school teachers and children and even people in houses of worship. They prey on places that are typically gun-free zones filled with people who are often trapped with no way of escape. Newspapers and media sources should eliminate mentioning the name of such killers. As evil as it is, these mentally ill people see such acts as a way for them to get massive negative attention and to go out in what they perceive to be a moment of glory.

The idea of such security at all our schools is difficult to embrace but we have no choice. This adds to the financial challenges facing school systems. A fence is not aesthetically appealing. It looks third world but that’s where we are in America. I’ve traveled to enough third world countries to have viewed walls around average homes, churches and schools. In Brazil many walls are erected around homes because of the high crime rate. Thieves are everywhere in Brazil. There are many wonderful people in Brazil but also plenty of thieves. We didn’t grow up with fences and walls. We don’t want them today, but do we

Many believe eliminating semi-automatic rifles is the answer. A killer with two six shooters could still kill someone and probably several in a classroom filled with children. If we outlaw guns in this country, then evil people will find a way to smuggle them into our country to other evil people who aren’t concerned about keeping the law. Then, we will be defenseless and at their mercy. Fentanyl is illegal but over a 100,000 people died in 2022 from fentanyl and synthetic opioids. I don’t own a semi-automatic rifle but if China or Russia invades us, I want one. Actually, I want one for my wife, children and grandkids. We need at least a chance to defend ourselves.

By all means we must stop the mentally ill from having such weapons but that’s hard to do when someone has no record of any psychotic episodes. There is nothing wrong with a waiting period for buying a gun and a background check.

Obviously private and religious schools are targets like any other school. Everyone is vulnerable.

Every school and Board of Education must be in serious planning stages for implementing the best security possible for our children. This is something that has never happened to most schools or churches in America but everyone is vulnerable. It only takes one such act next month or 10 years from now to kill people and devastate a community.

Mental health and self-esteem

Everyone knows that life can be challenging, but sometimes it can seem so difficult that we may even forget who we really are. Our self-esteem may get damaged, our self-confidence may take a serious hit, but our self-worth never changes.

JOHN WATERBURY

Our self-worth is a gift from Heavenly Father. It doesn’t go up or down. It doesn’t increase when we’re good, and it doesn’t decrease when we’re bad. No matter what we feel or what we fear, no one can take our self-worth away from us. We never lose it, and we can’t even give it away. Self-worth is constant and unchanging, it’s noble and worthwhile. We didn’t come to this world to get it, we brought it with us. And even if we fail to recognize its existence, it’s always there, waiting to be re-discovered. So, if you haven’t discovered it just yet, be patient.

Patience is an interesting word. Patience with self is hope. Patience with others is love. Patience with God is Faith. (Adel Bestavros)

So, strive to be patient, because patience and self-worth are connected. In essence, patience is a choice. But our self-worth is different. Self-worth, and the happiness that it brings in the future, is not dependent on us, or on how much we know, or on any strength or capacity that we might have developed. Instead, our self-worth is completely dependent on God.

It may all sound highly complicated, but Heavenly Father knows all about patience, and worth, and light, and glory, and darkness and anxiety, and depression, and a lot of other things that we can’t even begin to comprehend. Those are some of the reasons we’re trying to become a little bit more like Heavenly Father. We want to know more. And He wants to teach us.

With this in mind, President Gordon B.

Hinckley once wrote: It isn’t as hard as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don’t worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. (end quote)

So, what does all this mean to us as we face the challenges of Mortality? Well, when we feel afraid, and we begin to think that we’ll always be afraid, stop it! There is no truth to those words. We’re not here to fail. Consider the following words and apply them:

Eventually, if we don’t give up and we do what needs to be done, things settle down, both inside and out, and the battle will be won. Life is not a contest or a competition with fate, but it becomes a work of art, as what we choose, we create. The colors on the canvas of our soul are changed by life, and somehow we become transformed in spite of the pain and strife. The challenges in life must be faced and overcome, and who we really are determines how the game is won. A well-designed philosophy of life will lead the way, and dreams become reality when they see the light of day. Parts of life seem to pass away, but somehow we are reborn. And the calm before the storm expands until there is no storm.

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

WHAT TO WATCH

‘The Super Mario Bros. Movie’ made for fans, but ‘Air’ struggles for purpose

By Jenniffer Wardell

The Movie Guru

The Super Mario Bros. Movie (in

theaters)

A movie doesn’t have to be good to be entertaining.

If you’re a Mario fan, “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” definitely qualifies. It’s a love letter to the fanbase, packed to the gills with as much of the video game universe as filmmakers could fit into a single movie. The plot is as thin as you’d expect out of Illumination, but that doesn’t matter so much when you’re busy hunting for Easter eggs and spending time with the characters you love.

If Bowser is your favorite, you’re in for even more of a treat. Jack Black is an absolute delight as the character, proving with every scene why he’s still such a popular villain. Anya Taylor-Joy is also fun as Princess Peach who is much more battle-ready than she is in the games. Chris Pine is fine as Mario, which is more than I thought I’d be able to say for him before I saw the movie (they explain in-film why he sounds so different than the iconic version of the character). There wasn’t

nearly enough Luigi, particularly together with Mario, but Charlie Day did good with what he had.

If you love Mario and the world he lives in, this may be just the adventure you’re looking for.

Grade: Three stars

Air (in theaters)

It’s a movie about signing Michael Jordan to Nike.

Granted, “Air” is the most entertaining movie I believe anyone could possibly make on this topic. Director Ben Affleck has wrestled every shred of “underdog believes in a dream” spirit he possibly can for the film.

Matt Damon once again proves to be one of the most interesting “everyman” actors working today, keeping the audience’s attention during several scenes of meetings they would have definitely slept through in real life.

Viola Davis is as fantastic as she always is.

But it’s still a movie about a sponsorship deal, and not even the most well-written script can change that. Unless you’re a really big fan of the ins and outs of the business world or Michael Jordan’s financial situation, “Air” never quite manages a compelling argument for its existence. It’s not a bad movie, all things considered, but it probably never should have been made in the first place.

Grade: Two and a half stars

Tetris (Apple TV+)

It turns out movies about corporate deals become a lot more interesting when you add car chases.

“Tetris” is technically the story of how Nintendo got the rights to Tetris, but thankfully screenwriter Noah Pink and director Jon S. Baird only made that part of the story. They also added a hefty dose of the KGB, including some plot twists and genuinely nail-biting moments where it felt like people’s lives were on the line. A lot of it didn’t actually happen in real life, but if you’re going to make something into a movie the least you can do is give the audience car chases.

A nice element of the movie that does have some basis in reality is the friendship between programmer Henk Rogers and game designer Alexey Pajitnov. Taron Edgerton makes Rogers impossible not to root for, and Nikita Efremov plays Pajitnov as a sweet guy who just wants to make a cool game. Even if you’re having trouble following exactly who has the rights, you know you want both guys to be safe and happy.

Grade: Three and a half stars

Some local baseball teams still waiting to start region play

By Josh McFadden joshdmcfadden@hotmail.com

Three years ago, COVID derailed the spring high school sports season. This season, Mother Nature has done that. Fortunately, unlike the coronavirus pandemic, this long winter won’t permanently end the season. Most likely.

As for baseball, Region 5 hasn’t even had a chance to begin league play yet. Plus, most teams across the Wasatch Front, including Davis County schools, have only been able to play a handful of games.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats have seen the most action among Davis County squads, as they currently sport a 2-5 record. Of course, four of those games were played in a tournament at Snow Canyon High School in St. George March 23–25.

Woods Cross went 1-3 in that tournament, the last game coming against Salem Hills in a 10-2 loss.

The Wildcats have three games scheduled next week, when spring weather should finally be here. Woods Cross faces Bonneville in all three games, beginning April 11 at home.

Bountiful

The Redhawks have the best record in Region 4 at 4-1. Fortunately for Bountiful, it has found spring weather – in California.

Playing in a tournament in Irvine, California, Bountiful fell to Newport Harbor (California) on April 1 and then shut out Protola High School (California) 2-0 on April 3. Both Bountiful runs came in the second inning in a contest in which the Redhawks recorded six hits. On April 4, the Redhawks edged host Irvine High School 2-1. Junior pitcher Tavis Danner was excellent, recording 13 strikeouts and allowing just four hits. Next week, Bountiful should be able to start league play. The Redhawks have a three-game series with Northridge April 11, 12 and 14.

Viewmont

It has been quite a while since the 3-1 Vikings have had a chance to play. In fact, the team has only seen action on two days this season: March 17 and 18, playing twice on each day. The Vikings defeated Dixie 3-2 in their last outing. The Vikings will begin Region 5 games on April 11 when they host Box Elder. The two teams will meet again April 12 and April 14.

Davis

The Darts were also able to escape the state and play in a tournament in California. Davis lost three games in Irving, California, over the weekend and early this week. Two of the three losses were by a single run (9-8 and 7-6), while the other defeat came April 3 against University City, California, by the count of 5-2. The Darts finished tournament play on April 5, after our press deadline. On April 11, the Darts will play a region game at home against Weber.

Farmington

The Phoenix are 3-0 in Region 1 and 4-3 overall. All three league victories came against Clearfield, spread out over a week and a half.

The first victory occurred on March 21, a 10-2 triumph. The two teams met again on Saturday in a double-header. In game one, the Phoenix posted a 6-0 victory, with Logan Mounteer getting the win on the mound. He also had two strikeouts. Josh Hecht had a fantastic game, hitting a home run and a double. He also had two RBIs. Teammate Mitch Nielsen had two RBIs as well.

In the second win over Clearfield, Farmington allowed just two hits, with Hecht getting the win and striking out five batters. He also had a double from the plate. Dayton Runyan had two RBI, as the Phoenix had eight hits.

Next week, Farmington has a Monday contest at home against Layton. The Phoenix then play Syracuse three consecutive times, April 11, 12 and 14. l

Winter continues, wreaking havoc with boys soccer season

By Josh McFadden joshdmcfadden@hotmail.com

It’s the same issue since the spring sports season began in early March: the seemingly never-ending winter continues.

The record snowfall has been great news in many ways, including ending a long drought. Unfortunately for high school athletes, the snow and cold have kept the players off the field. This has been true with boys soccer where local teams have struggled to play scheduled games. However, weather forecasts show that spring may finally be on the way, giving hope to Davis County teams and others throughout the state.

Farmington

The Phoenix did get in a game last week, defeating Fremont 1-0 on March 29. This big victory raised the team’s Region 1 record to 4-0, putting Farmington on top by a game and a half as of our press deadline.

The Phoenix are 5-0 overall.

The win over Fremont was the third in region play in which Farmington has won by a single goal. Also, Farmington’s defense has allowed just one goal all season, fewest in Class 6A. In beating Fremont, Boston Peterson scored a second-half goal, which broke a scoreless tie. Davis Wadsworth got the shutout, No. 3.5 on the year for him.

Next week looks promising for the Phoenix to resume play. They will play at Davis on April 14.

Davis

As for the Darts, they’ve only gotten in three games this season. At our press time, they were 2-1 overall and 1-1 in Region 1. Davis last played on March 17, a 3-2 win over Fremont.

Davis has two games on the slate for next week, at Weber on April 12 and at home against Farmington on April 14. In Davis’ three games so far, Bjorn Bergant, Rhett Nuenswander and Miles Iverson have each scored goals. Kyle Livermore and

Talon Meyer have recorded assists.

Bountiful

The Redhawks were able to play its first Region 5 contest of the season on March 29. The win, a 3-1 triumph over Viewmont, improved the Redhawks to 2-2 overall on the season.

Two of Bountiful’s goals came in the first half, putting it up 2-1 at the break. A second-half goal sealed the win, especially since the defense pitched a shutout after halftime. Elias Pacheco had two goals and an assist in the victory. Javier Moreno scored the other goal, while Jakob Patterson also had an assist.

Region 5 games are off the schedule this week. Next week, the Redhawks host Box Elder on April 11 and entertain Bonneville on April 14.

Woods Cross Woods Cross has managed to get five games in so far this season, and the Wildcats have made the most of it, posting a 4-1

mark.

On March 29, the Wildcats had a key victory to kick off region play. Woods Cross held off Bonneville 2-1 in overtime. The Wildcats overcame a 1-0 halftime deficit to pull off the win. Ryan Wray and Aiden Burke scored for Woods Cross. Zach Despain assisted on both goals. The Wildcats host Northridge on April 11 and then play at Box Elder on April 14.

Viewmont

The 1-3 Vikings host Bonneville on April 11 and play at Northridge on April 14. By that time, Viewmont will be returning the pitch for the first time in two weeks. The Vikings have scored in each game this season, including in their 3-1 region-opening loss to Bountiful on March 29. Matt Holliday got a first-half goal in that contest. It was his first goal of the season. McKay Statcey is the team leader in that category with three. Cole Halterman has a pair of assists. Viewmont is looking for its first assist of the season. l

TELEVISION GUIDE

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: What’s Brad Garrett doing nowadays?

A: The short answer is he’s doing what he’s done all along: mixing a thriving voice-actor business with some liveaction TV.

People will, perhaps forever, think of Garrett as Raymond’s brother Robert on “Everybody Loves Raymond,” but that was actually a mere blip in his career. He’s been entertaining us all for much longer

TELEVISION GUIDE

than that. We just didn’t see him do it.

His first role was a big one, voicing the titular legendary wrestler on “Hulk Hogan’s Rock ‘n’ Wrestling,” a mid-’80s cartoon series about the professional wrestlers popular at the time.

This is indicative of a huge chunk of Garrett’s career. Indeed, he did voices on a number of big kids’ cartoons of the ‘80s and ‘90s (see also “The Transformers,”

“Goof Troop” and “Biker Mice From Mars”).

He peppered sitcom roles in at the same time, doing guest spots on some of the biggest shows of the era, such as “Murphy Brown” and “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.”

After “Raymond,” he’s generally carried on in the same way, though the roles have gotten quite a bit bigger.

In the last few years, for example, he’s done leading roles on the Showtime

dramedy “I’m Dying Up Here” and the ABC sitcom “Single Parents,” while on the voice side, he’s done huge box office hits such as “Finding Dory” (2016) and “Ralph Breaks the Internet” (2018).

Q: When is “The Great” coming back? It’s coming back, right?

A: A bit of worry is understandable — being a fan of “The Great” hasn’t been easy. Fans had to wait a year and a half between the first season and the second due to COVID-19 delays, and they’ve been waiting the same time now for a third. But the wait’s almost over.

The third season of “The Great” will debut on Hulu (in the U.S.) and Amazon Prime (in Canada) on May 12.

The fact that it’s a streaming show has added to the wait, in a way. Broadcast TV would have strung the show’s 10-epi-

sode seasons out over that many weeks, whereas the episodes are all available at once on Hulu and Prime.

And “The Great,” being a feather-light show about some serious historical topics, is incredibly binge-friendly, so a lot of fans probably blew through each of the past seasons in the course of a weekend. For those who’ve never seen it, “The Great” is a very loose dramatization of the story of Catherine the Great of Russia (played in the series by Elle Fanning, “Super 8,” 2011), who married into the royal family and soon became the country’s true leader. The looseness of the adaptation, and the levity I mentioned earlier, mean it’s all a lot more fun than that premise might sound.

Celebrity Profile

By Dana Simpson TV Media

Oscar winner Rachel Weisz arguably has as interesting a personal life as many of the characters she plays in film and on television. Made famous stateside by her role in the 1999 action blockbuster “The Mummy,” the English-born actress grew up with her sister, Minnie Weisz, now a visual artist and photographer specializing in the camera obscura technique.

In Weisz’s newest series, “Dead Ringers,” premiering Friday, April 21, on Prime Video, the star does double duty as a different pair of sisters, twin gynecologists Elliot and Beverly Mantle. A gender-bending reboot of the 1988 David Cronenberg thriller of the same name starring Jeremy Irons (“Lolita,” 1997), “Dead Ringers” follows the twin doctors as they risk everything to revolutionize the way women in Manhattan give birth. Poppy Liu (“Hacks”), Jennifer Ehle (“Zero Dark Thirty,” 2012) and Michael Chernus (“Severance”) also star.

Contrary to her mother and father’s careers as a psychoanalyst and an inventor, respectively, Weisz first entered the industry when she began modeling at age 14. Acting came later when, while attending Trinity College Cambridge, she founded the Talking Tongues theater company. At the 1991 Edinburgh Festival, she won an award for a play she wrote and starred in under the company’s banner. Weisz earned her first onscreen role a year later, starring in three episodes of the six-episode series “The Advocates.” Although this opened doors to her in the U.K., it wasn’t until her stint as Evelyn Carnahan in “The Mummy” that Weisz truly became known to North American audiences. After this appearance, she went on to star in “Beautiful Creatures” (2000), “Enemy at the Gates” (2001), “About a Boy” (2002) and “Runaway Jury” (2003) before winning her first (and so far only) Academy Award: Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role for “The Constant Gardener” (2005).

(5) KSL 8 p.m. The Wall Chris Hardwick returns to host another season of “The Wall,” premiering Tuesday, April 11, on NBC. This season introduces a new twist that allows players to play for more money than ever before, with more than $1 million potentially added to their winnings when all seven balls drop at once.
