‘Dad’ the dragon adds a bit of fun to downtown Bountiful

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—A large dragon is keeping watch over the ice ribbon at Bountiful Town Square. The whimsical creature “Dad” is part of the Downtown Sculpture project to bring art to Main Street. The artist, Deveren Farley of Utah County, named the piece in memory of his father who passed away the past year. Farley created it because his father loved dragons.

“He has his hands on his belly,” said Bountiful Community Affairs Specialist, Rebecca Montealegre. “He’s sleeping and looks at peace, like he’s resting.”

The metal sculpture is made up of license plates and street signs. “When the lights hit it at night it’s spectacular,” said Montealegre. “We’re thinking of adjusting the lights on the ribbon because it looks great at night.”

It’s the beginning of the city council’s public art program, she said. “The historic downtown advisory board picked 10-15 pieces then narrowed those down to five final pieces and brought them to the council to vote on. Funding for the program comes from capital construction, 1 percent of the cost goes to public art projects.”

“Dad” is on lease for one year, said Montealegre. “It was in St. George before. They were sad to see it leave. If they like it, the city council can decide whether to

Esports give kids chance for success in the classroom

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Who knew that playing those video games would help kids do better in school? At Bountiful High an esports club has been motivating kids to bring up their grades to participate in something they love.

“We check grades every Monday,” said CTE teacher and coach Ryan Frandsen. “If they have a D-, F or a U they don’t get to play. This year we had 65 kids on the roster and 45 were ineligible. We gave them a chance to bring their grades up and we went down to only six.”

A lot of the kids wouldn’t pass their classes without esports, he said. “If that’s what it takes to get kids across the podium so be it.”

The club is in its second year, said Frandsen. “Esports is in its infancy.

Biden announces re-election bid

President Joe Biden announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination for the presidency again. Support for Biden among Democrats is somewhat weak, with 51% of respondents to a CNN poll saying that would rather vote for someone else, with age cited as the primary reason. Former President Donald Trump is at present the strongest GOP frontrunner, with 46% support of the GOP in the same poll. An overwhelming 70% of respondents say that they would prefer other choices than a rematch of the 2020 election. Ron DeSantis, the presumptive challenger to Trump, has seen a decline in support over the last few weeks.

Treasure trove of Van Halen tracks revealed

Eddie Van Halen, world-renowned rock icon, died after a long bout with cancer in 2020. His son Wolfgang and brother Alex have revealed that he left behind a large number of recordings which have never been featured on albums or used professionally. The two hope that a reconciliation with Sammy Hagar, one-time frontman of the band, might be possible to showcase the tunes, but the relationship appears to be frosty.

Yellowstone’s West Gate Officially opens for the season

On April 21, Yellowstone’s primary access point opened for its official season. The park reported that the rivers are flowing, the animals are out in force, and the park is ready for a busy year. Indeed, bookings for the spring are already above normal amounts as many people exhausted by a long winter are heading out into the wilderness. The full range of park roads are scheduled to be opened on May 12, by which time the winter snow should have finally receded.

Korean President in talks with Biden to deter North Korea from using nuclear weapons

President Biden and Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol will announce new steps they plan to take to try to deter North Korea from using nuclear weapons. Plans include the U.S. sending its first nuclear ballistic submarine to South Korea since the early 1980s. Yoon is in the U.S. this week on the first state visit from a South Korean leader in 12 years.

purchase it.”

Other pieces will be installed along Main Street in the coming weeks, she said. “‘Wet Your Whistle’ is a fire hydrant with cranes on top dancing in the water. It’s part of our permanent collection and makes use of education about water.”

“Sharing Your Story” is a bench with an adult and a child’s figure sitting on it, Montealegre said. “It will be on Main across from the post office. The city purchased it and it was the one unanimous piece.”

The city purchased “Daydream” from the artist, she said. “It’s a large steel flower that’s 10 feet tall. It will be installed on Main in the next two weeks.”

“Pig Iron” is made from recycled metal, said Montealegre. “I call it kind of steel punk style. It has an interactive tail that when you crank it makes gears move. It’s in a planter box so kids can reach it.”

Each sculpture has a title plaque with a QR code to teach both adults and children

about the art, she said.

“People with all different interests and backgrounds have liked it (dragon),” Montealegre said. “Some don’t really love it just because it’s whimsical. Any piece of art will have differing opinions depending on your perspective in life.”

Some art that demands more attention demands more opinions, she said. “If art gets any dialogue that’s what it’s supposed to do. You can like it or not like it and both are perfectly fine as long as you have respect for the artist who made it.”

The goal is for people to enjoy access to new pieces and get outside with their families, Montealegre said. “We’re elevating art with uplifting pieces in the city so residents can come out and walk Main Street and see what downtown has to offer. We’re trying to find pieces that reflect our community.”

The program is meant to be educational for the community, she said. “We have a dream of Bountiful growing in public art, to be an art city in a way. It’s just the beginning.” l

WHAT TO WATCH

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Polite Society (in theaters)

If you’re desperate for a movie with real imagination, then I’ve got a treat for you.

“Polite Society,” an action comedy from creator Nida Manzoor, is one of this spring’s most delightful cinematic surprises. It starts out as a classic outcast teen comedy, focusing on an Indian girl named Ria Kahn who wants nothing more than to be a stuntwoman. When her sister drops out of art school and gets engaged, Ria becomes determined to stop her from making the biggest mistake of her life.

I don’t want to give spoilers, but “Polite Society” is not the film you start out thinking it is. The movie is careful with its buildup, charming throughout but built upon such familiar lines that you definitely don’t see the transformation coming. The ride through it manages to be both hilarious and deeply emotional, never losing sight of the sisterly relationship at the heart of it. It makes the final payoff that much sweeter, not to mention deeply

entertaining.

Priya Kansara and Ritu Arya are both fantastic as the sisterly duo at the center of the film, always engaging even when they’re at odds with one another. Seraphina Beh and Ella Bruccoleri are the most entertaining sidekicks a girl could ask for, and Nimra Bucha chews scenery like the queen she is.

Together, they make for a fun, fantastic mashup that feels like a cinematic breath of fresh air.

Grade: Three and a half stars Ghosted (Apple TV+)

“Ghosted” makes me angry.

There’s a certain type of romance where both participants are so unlikeable that not only do you not care whether they get together by the end, you don’t actually want them to. Honestly, you’ve seen no sign that they actually care whether or not they get together. They seem to detest each other as much as you detest them, and though the script makes them kiss at the right moments it’s as believable as a kid smashing two dolls together.

It makes me even more angry when a movie takes two actors with as much natural charm and charisma as

Chris Evans and Ana de Armas and does this to them. “Ghosted” makes Evans enough of a pedantic argumentative stalker that not even his looks are enough to save him, and Armas routinely threatens his life without the slightest hesitation. When the script stops getting in the way they have a natural chemistry, but the moment either one opens their mouth you can feel the other person want to punch them.

Since the audience also wants to punch them, it’s only fair.

The entire scriptwriting team should be ashamed of themselves. The one bright spot in the movie are the brief, highly entertaining guest appearances by several famous faces I won’t spoil here. I suspect they were probably ad-libbed, since they have all the humor and charm completely absent in the rest of the movie.

A lot of talent went into making this terrible movie, but almost none of it is left on the screen. The kindest thing you can do for everyone involved is stay away.

Grade: One half star

Working at BHS is like going to Disneyland every day

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Kim Austin loves her job at Bountiful High and it shows. As the financial secretary in the main office her focus is on working with athletes, coaches and parents, but her enthusiasm for sports doesn’t stop there, Austin can regularly be found in the stands cheering on the Redhawks even though her kids have all graduated. It was that extra effort that earned her the Utah PTA Outstanding Support Staff award.

“Kim is an amazing secretary but she’s so much more than that,” said BHS Principal Aaron Hogge. “She is a BHS super fan. She attends more events than many administrators do. She’s incredible. You can find her at football games with her kids and grandkids. She lives and breathes what is Bountiful. She’s remarkable.”

Austin started her career at BHS in 2005 as a swim coach. “I did that for 11 years,” she said. “Simultaneously I was the truancy tracker. I dealt with kids who were

missing class. Then they added citizenship on top of that. After five or six years I moved into the main office.”

Over the years, all five of her kids have graduated from BHS. Her last one graduated in 2022. “My son-in-law is the head football coach and one of my daughters is the assistant volleyball coach,” said Austin.

“It’s because we all love it here. My kids loved having their mom at school. They liked having a place to come. All of them were athletes and since I’m the secretary our paths crossed quite a bit.”

Austin said she misses coaching and the relationships she formed. “That hard work gave me the opportunity to form that with my swimmers but now I get to do that with all the athletes. It’s a broader group of athletes and coaches that I get to create more experiences with.”

One of the things Austin thinks has helped her to excel is her background in coaching. “I was a coach at one time so I know how busy they are,” she said. “I understand the time they put in even after school is over. Ordering equipment, etc.

that happens when they go home at night. I know for me when practice ended I’d do athletic stuff. I want to make it as easy as possible for coaches.”

Austin said that’s one of the things that drives her. “I was never a teacher and a coach. It takes one of a kind. I try my best to make things as light as possible to free them up for their families and so they can do their job here.”

In her free time, Austin is learning to play the piano. “I’m in the early stages,” she said. “I don’t read music so it’s almost like learning a new language for me because I don’t remember like I did when I was 20. I’ve always wanted to do it so I’m learning now. It’s fun.”

Austin has worked under three different principles and it will be four once a new principal takes over in the fall. “Ryck Astle hired me,” she said. “When he hired me he said ‘this is like Disneyland every day.’ Don’t tell anyone, but I would do this job even if they didn’t pay me. I love my job.”

Bountiful High School secretary Kim Austin is a super fan. Even though her five children have already graduated, she is often found at athletic events cheering on the Redhawks.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

1923

Davis County World War Memorial

Some three years ago a committee headed by L.J. Muir was appointed by citizens of the county to take action toward memorializing our World War heroes. The work of the original committee and various cooperating committees has resulted in a magnificent bronze tablet which expresses most appropriately and permanently the valuable lessons of the great World War. It will be installed in the Davis High School.

1933 Dog Carries Puppy

The loyalty of one dog to another was proved here when Shep, a large shepherd owned by Thomas McClure, carried Felts, a five month-old spitz owned by David McClure, two miles after an automobile had broken Felts’ leg. As the dogs trotted along, Felts bounded into the street and was struck by an auto. Shep picked Felts up with his teeth. He carried him home where the fracture was treated.

Davis Teachers To Get Increases

Salary increases for Davis County school teachers will range from $200 to $300 per teacher for the 1943-1944 school term. The schedule requires that teachers employed for a year be allowed one-third more than the reg ular contract, not to exceed $2,200 for the twelve months. The board approved the following schedule: that the secondary school salaries shall range from $1,200 to $2,150 and elementary school schedules, from $1,000 to $1,665.

1953 Mrs. not a Miss

The National Education Association reports that the typical rural school teacher today is Mrs. and not a Miss – as was the case fifteen years ago. That conclusion was reached from the results of a nationwide study by questionnaire conducted by the NEA. Today’s typical rural school teacher is in her forties, has had about thir teen years teaching experience and is married and lives in her own home. She drives an automobile and earns about $2,500 annually. Only fifteen years ago, however, she was an un married girl, boarding with her family and earning only about $867 annually.

believes that the married teacher of today is far superior to her young predecessor.

1963 Interest Rate War

Chairman Wright Patman of the House Banking Committee has long waged war with the nation’s banks and various presidential administrations over interest rates. In recent days he has criticized leading banks, which raised interest rates to 6 ¾ and under White House pressure, dropped them back to 6 ½ percent. The typical American couple buying a house, for instance, has paid from 4 ½ percent to 8 ½ percent over a twenty-year period depending on the money market and other factors.

Davis County Jail inmate dies by suicide

FARMINGTON—An inmate at the Davis County Jail died by suicide after hanging himself in his cell. Deputies found the inmate in his cell last Friday during security rounds. Deputies and medical staff implemented life-saving measures immediately but were unsuccessful in restoring the individual's pulse, a release said. The inmate was transported to a nearby hospital but died several days later. He was in his 30s.

“The well-being of our staff and those in our care and custody is always our first priority,” said Chief Deputy Arnold Butcher. “We are grieved any time anyone attempts suicide. It is always difficult to convey the concern and sadness we all feel when something like this happens. We encourage anyone struggling with mental health concerns to reach out for help. We have and will continue to offer mental health support to both our inmates and staff members.”

As the snow has melted and the roads are now clearing up, more and more people are on the roads. So here are some driving safety tips for you to remember:

• Cut out distractions. Resist the urge to look at your phone, take a bite of that delicious hamburger, or even reach into the back seat for something.

• Manage your speeds. Be sure that your travel speed matches the conditions of the roads and that you aren’t driving at speeds that put you or the others around you in danger.

• Stay alert. Scan the roadway ahead of you for road hazards such as debris in travel lanes, stalled vehicles, construction zones, and any emergency vehicles on the side of the road.

• Always wear a seatbelt. Please ensure everyone in your car is buckled up, and children are properly restrained in their car seats or booster chairs. Most importantly, stay safe.

OPINION

Blessed to be active and healthy

Amid the clinking of glasses and the melon balls on the buffet table, Tessa Vaschel greeting selected donors eager to hear the announcement of Davis County’s “Summer Night’s with the Stars” concerts.

A woman with a glass of wine sauntered up to her.

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

“I’d love to see John Mellencamp,” she said. “I saw him in Indiana when I was just a teen.”

Tessa responded that Mellencamp was a little too expensive for an 1,800 seat Davis County amphitheater, but that there would be a diverse range of concert acts from a local favorite to a country musician sought after for gigs with Johnny Cash, Elton John, and Bob Dylan.

“And here we go,” she said. The audience clapped as the 2023 performers appeared on the screen.

Guess Who! (No, not a question, but the rock band which notched nine Top Ten hits.)

And Grand Funk Railroad! (Okay, the drummer is the only original member performing, but the crowd will still be rocking to “The Locomotion,” a song first made famous by Carole King’s babysitter.)

From the Latin sounds of Tito Puente to the Utah-based pop of Mat and Savanna Shaw to tribute performances of Journey, Queen, and Bobby Darin…

The donors smiled and whispered to their partners. (“Yes, I saw Journey – the real Journey – in Phoenix back in the day”… “You’re too young to remember Bobby Darin, but he was the Justin Bieber of his era”… “Queen, yeah rock on baby!”)

The lady with the glass of wine told total strangers at her table that she got married when the Little River Band was at its height of popularity. (“Well, the

When someone knocks on your door

marriage didn’t last, but the band is still around – and now they’re coming to Davis County!”)

Tessa was encouraged by the reaction. From the response of the crowd, the county’s Kenley Amphitheater would again host a slew of sell-outs. Then she asked to say something else.

“It’s time to address the elephant in the room,” she told the party-goers.

“As you can see, I’m in a wheelchair. The doctors told me I had a choice. I could leave this job and do something less strenuous, or stay and be in a wheelchair.”

“As some of you know, I took all the precautions during the pandemic. Like many of you, I still came down with COVID. Unlike most of you I never recovered. I have been diagnosed with Long COVID. I have little energy brain fog, and difficulty concentrating on anything for very long. The medical community doesn’t know why it occurs or if there will ever be a cure. But I’m here and, with you, looking forward to the season.”

The donors exited the building in the same hallway from which they entered. But as they left, there was one noticeable difference.

There were couples hugging each other and holding hands tightly, blessed to be active and healthy, able to rock out this summer when the Queen tribute band blares out “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Taking control of what’s inside

Sometimes you just have to take control. There’s just nothing else you can do sometimes. But take control.

Not of the things outside – in the world, the nation, the state, your community or maybe even your home.

IN THIS TOGETHER

BY LOUISE R. SHAW

No. If you’re like me, most if not likely all of those things are outside your control.

What you have to take control of is inside.

Inside your mind, where what happens can sometimes be as damaging as whatever chaos is going on outside of it.

Sometimes you have to tell your mind to think differently.

To not think the worst is going to happen or the person doesn’t like you or your hair never looks right, especially today.

To not think that you messed up badly 20 years ago so you’re hopeless or that you’ll never get the things on your list done because it’s just too stinking long and nobody cares so why do you.

Don’t ask me how I know.

Sometimes, more than our circumstances, our minds are preventing the happiness we seek in life.

So the only thing to do is to take control of that chaotic mind.

Don’t think: I can’t believe I did that way back when. Think: I’m glad I learned from that to do things differently in the future. Or: I’m going to move on because that was way back then and I’m in now.

Don’t think: This person doesn’t like me. Think: This person probably has other things to think about besides me. Or: I like this person and will try to be there for this person and that’s all I can control.

Don’t think: How could I gain a whole pound just by eating one extra cookie? Think: I’m so glad I didn’t eat two extra cookies. Or: That was the most enjoyable pound I’ve ever put on.

Don’t think: Things are so terrible in the world today. Think: I’m grateful I live in a country at peace that tries to help other countries. Or: I’m grateful I live in a time and place with so many opportunities and advantages.

It was in the middle of the pandemic that we all got a lesson in how to overcome the chaos that sometimes controls our thinking.

K nocking on doors is as American as apple pie. Politicians, sales persons, clergy, girl scouts, federal census workers, and the list goes on of persons and professions who have depended on knocking on doors.

GLENN MOLETTE AUTHOR

When I was a child, I sold Grit newspapers. I needed to knock on a lot of doors to sell 20 papers which made me a cool $1. Serving churches for years I have probably knocked on over a thousand plus doors to invite people to church. I’m so glad no one shot me.

The recent shooting of a 16-yearold teenager in Kansas City, mistakenly knocking on the wrong door, is beyond insane. The teenage boy was at the wrong house to pick up his brothers who were a block away. Who shoots through a door without reason unless the individual is crazy or on drugs or perhaps both? The problem is, we do have a severe mental illness epidemic in America and a drug crisis. Throw in America’s growing gun violence issues and therefore knocking on strange doors becomes a scary scenario.

I admit hearing someone knock on the door at dinner time is a bit aggravating. Usually for me, it’s a high school band member selling mulch to raise money for the band. Or, it’s someone raising money for another school project. You can’t be irritated with a 15-year-old kid who is out trying to raise money for his school. Unless, you are crazy or on drugs. Then anything might tick you off. By all means, don’t be this person.

For the most part, more and more industrious people are relying on social media to try to gain new business. It’s true you can reach more people more efficiently via Internet advertising, social media and other media sources than by taking all day to knock on a few doors. If

people want it, they will respond to your advertising.

People have rightfully withdrawn from knocking on doors because they are paranoid of disturbing someone’s favorite television program, meal or nap. This is never a good environment for making a sale or making a friend.

Maybe the day of selling magazine subscriptions, brushes, vacuum cleaners, and stuff like that door-to-door is in the past. Do any ministers ever knock on your door and invite you to church?

If someone does knock on your door, don’t immediately invite them into your house. They should have a picture identification badge for you to see. They also should talk to you about a future appointment when you can make time for the pitch. In addition, they should present you with some information containing a phone number so you can call them if you have further interest. You can always say “no thank you,” and shut your door. If you have a chain lock on your door or a glass locked door you can talk through then you are even better off.

Give consideration to the hard work some people put into knocking on doors. Give careful consideration to how you answer the door.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

We were experiencing a world-wide “woe-is-me” moment and for good reason.

Schools were closed, shelves were empty, trips were cancelled, family members were getting sick. Some were dying.

It was President Russell M. Nelson, prophet and leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who changed the direction of our thoughts when he gave us an unexpected challenge.

When it was announced that he would be giving a special address through social media I don’t think there were two people in the world who could have guessed what he would say.

We were all worrying and stressing and falling apart because the world as we’d known it seemed to be coming to an end and he changed the direction of our thoughts.

Be grateful, he said, if I can encapsulate my memory of his address into two words.

And not only did he suggest we be grateful, but he challenged us to post on social media what we were grateful for each day for a week.

And the conversation – inside –changed. We did still have food, and faith, and family. We could still learn or work or attend meetings via computer. We could still mostly get what we needed when we needed it. And meanwhile, there were people working on stopping the spread and providing treatments and vaccines and people figuring out how to manage it all.

So much to be grateful for.

Those of us who took his counsel found we were taking control of what was inside our minds. Going from woe-is-me to we-can-make-this-work.

And that is the message that calms the mind the very most: We can do this. Take control of what’s inside. Tell yourself you can do this.

Because then you will.

Is a child the property of their parents?

Abortion, the same thing we baby boomers hashed out in the 50s, and 60s is the topic again. Anti-abortionists in several states, and Idaho have put in law that it is criminal for doctors or anyone to help a woman have an abortion in or out of the state.

As a social worker having worked in Children’s Protective Services in the direction of answering “what is in the best interest of the child,” I have struggled with this issue numerous times; I am not pro-abortion but recognize that sometimes it is necessary. However when I removed a child from a dangerous situation I had to present in court before a judge and explain why I had removed the child and why the child should not be immediately returned to the parents. It was presumed that the child – the property belonged to the parents. It probably is offensive to you as it is to me to call a child “property” but I assure you that before the court the child is seen as the property of the parents although it is called something that sounds nicer: “parental rights.”

But has not the State of Idaho with its anti-abortion stance decided that the embryo, the fetus and the unborn no longer belong to the father or the mother? The unborn now belong to the State of Idaho.

So when that child is born and if it lives – it belongs to Idaho.

But isn’t that what Russia and China argue? Do not they claim that the children, their citizens belong to the nations that they are born in?

So back to that day in court. I as the caseworker and a guardian ad litem will now argue that we don’t think the child should be placed back in a situation that I deemed dangerous because the child does not belong to the parents and never did. The State of Idaho took custody of the child before it was born. There is no record that Idaho relinquished its ownership of the child that it took before birth. The parents never owned the child and therefore has no rights to reclaim it after I have removed it.

I do not think that is the outcome that the superstitious, religious and passionate anti-abortionists sought and they should think about this abortion issue deeper. We in the U.S. have been taught that we own the State, we own the government and we own our property: our children –not the government.

ACC Summit supports environmental change

In today’s world, it is common for the values of environmentalism to be connected to those associated with left-of-center politics. As a young person whose views lie close to the center, I believe that it is important to share environmentalism and a love for the planet to any people who are willing to make a difference.

The American Conservation Coalition has been a wonderful asset in helping spread environmentalism. As a proud member of ACC, I am glad to see organizations spreading center-based and right-of-center solutions to youth across the country. For those in the Salt Lake area who are interested in getting involved, or for those who are already helping to save our climate with ACC, an exciting event is approaching: the second-annual ACC Summit.

To be held from June 15 to June 17, the

ACC Summit will feature many speeches and activities supporting policies meant to combat environmental change. Speakers such as the particularly interesting Representative Blake Moore, a Utah Congressman, will be sharing about right-of-center environmentalism.

For anyone interested in environmentalism, specifically non-partisan and rightof-center, the ACC Summit will be packed full of opportunity. Whether you’re young or old, the ACC Summit will help connect you to influential leaders and helpful communities, all focused on furthering environmental conservation driven by policy. You can register for the second annual https:// accsummit.eco/.

Training never ends for South Davis Metro Firefighters

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—There were firefighters hanging from the tower at Station 81 last week. It wasn’t an accident, they were training for rope rescues.

“It’s a class put on by Reed Thorne called Ropes that Rescue,” said Firefighter/ Paramedic Timothy Rohmann with South Davis Metro Fire (SDMF) who is a member of the tech rescue team. “He has taught on a global level and has been in the business for 40 years. He’s a master. He specializes in rope rescue.”

People came from all over the country for the training, Rohmann said. “We had some from Miami, Austin, Tennessee, Virginia, Washington, they came from all over the place. We were fortunate to have him come down here.”

The course specializes in rope rescue called Arizona Vortex, said Rohmann. “It’s equipment that’s a tripod that can be used in many ways. It’s like a teepee where you put multiple logs leaning together, tent-like.”

The whole class teaches how to use the equipment in interesting ways, he said. “For rescues in a stairwell, the side of a building, an elevator, we set up the teepee and hoist people up or down. We were taught how to use the equipment in all locations, inside a building or outside on a mountain. There are many facets it might be used for.”

The training went for seven days, said Rohmann. “We started at 7:30 a.m. and went to 7 p.m. It was 11-12 hours a day for seven straight days.”

the event for about eight years, he said. “A handful of years ago Reed Thorne was in contact with one of our employees so we’ve been inviting him to our area. Every year around April we host it. As part of that he allows one of us to take the course for free. It’s about $1,700 per person so that works out great.”

It’s a good place here because Arizona Vortex is manufactured in Clearfield at Rock Exotica, Rohmann said. “Ropes that Rescue designed it and they produce it.”

Rohmann said they used the equipment in local areas to see how it performs, he said. “We went up Parley’s Canyon, to the Salt Lake City training tower and industrial settings. We used the training room at Station 81, our mountains and other local areas.”

Using what he learned over the week and applying it was the thing Rohmann enjoyed most. “We took it out into the wilderness and the mouth of Parley’s Canyon and used it on a huge rock cliff,” he said.

“I like getting outside and using nature to find creative ways to use Vortex. It’s tough outside so you have to be creative.”

Rohmann said for SDMF it’s more likely to be used on hiking trails and in the mountains. “It gives me the opportunity to use a piece of equipment that I know I can use in the future up in the hills.”

The purpose behind the course is to train the trainers, he said. “We take it for a week then go back and train the companies we work with and share our knowledge with our crews. The training never ends l with us.”

Autistic girl speaks through letters and her art

KAYSVILLE—When Liduvina Burgoin was 2 years old she was making art out of household items and drawing detailed pictures. She picked up languages quickly and wowed everyone with her knowledge. It wasn’t until sometime later that her mother realized her daughter had some delays.

“She was born three months early,” said her mother Migdalia. “She was raised bilingual but she was slow in speech. I thought it was because of that but I took her to a party for 4 and 5-year-olds who were bilingual and they were interacting with the other kids. It started clicking that she was delayed.”

Liduvina was diagnosed with level three autism, she said. “This makes it so she is limited in speaking.”

It was only last year through RPM therapy that they discovered Liduvina, now 12, could communicate through pointing at letters on a letter board, said Migdalia. “We found out that what she was pointing to with the letters was so different from what she was saying out loud. Up until last year we had no way to truly understand her thoughts and opinions, which has been groundbreaking in our life.”

Liduvina picks up things and remembers it all, Migdalia said. “She has a communication device and she’s been doing academic lessons. It’s college level and she knows so much already. She hears it once and she remembers it.”

The therapist had her write a story, she said. “Liduvina wrote about a girl in North Korea who escaped. It was a scary thing. I didn’t know where she would have even been exposed to that or where she was getting the information from.”

Right now she’s into Russian language and letters, said Migdalia. “We thought she was just making it up but she’s actually singing the alphabet. She can definitely speak Spanish and English with her letter board. Everyone at the school is blown away.”

Migdalia said Liduvina is doing art all the time. “She’s been selling some of her art. She wanted to buy

The team also plays in the PlayVS high school league. “We play online every week,” Frandsen said. “This week we play in the PlayVS championship against teams in Canada, Texas and other states. We are the number one seed. We haven’t lost any games for the season. If we win we go onto national play across the country. There's a lot of moving parts.”

Frandsen said they can make as many teams as they want. “There are teams of four so no one really has to sit out. Everyone gets to play. We want to meet the needs of as many kids as possible.”

“We’re currently undefeated. We are state champions in Mario Kart,” said Morgan Madsen, an 11th grader who is also the captain of the team. “I

Liduvina can do paintings backwards on glass, said Migdalia. “It looks perfect when you turn it around.”

Liduvina recently won the Jr. Teen division of Utah Miss Amazing, a pageant for women and girls with disabilities. “She will represent Utah in the National Pageant at the end of July,” said Migdalia. “A couple of years ago she wasn’t old enough to win. She got old enough, 10, during COVID but now she was old enough and did win it.”

It was hard for her to speak but the judges saw her art and they were blown away, she said. “Her talent in the pageant was singing and while she sang her art played in the background.”

Wearing the crown and sash she felt like a celebrity, said Migdalia. “People would come up and talk to her. It was a good experience for her to communicate.”

Liduvina has been volunteering with the homeless and the Special Olympics giving out medals. “I was surprised I won,” Liduvina said by typing it out on her computer and with the help of her mother. “I like helping the homeless and I like giving out the medals at the basketball tournament and making things with Russian letters.

“I got into it because of a teammate,” said senior Tristan Bennett. “He told me about it and I tried it and joined in October. I like the competition and playing other states.”

“I used to play Mario Kart as a kid so I was good beforehand,” said Sydney Williams, a senior. “I think it’s for everyone. You don’t have to be the best, just have fun.”

It’s sophomore Kade Chapman’s first year on the team. “The coaches introduced it and said to come try out. I came and had a lot of fun so I joined the team. I’m going to do it next year hopefully.”

Esports gives kids friends to play with, said Frandsen. “It’s a less isolating thing and more of a group thing. They have friends so they can do something together.”

Frandsen has the help of two other teachers, Walter Rosio and Jeff Felix.

“We all love to play video games,” he said. “So this is fun for me. We’re reaching a demographic of kids that kind of get overlooked that have never had a home at school and now they do.” l

It’s been such a good opportunity to find out she could speak through letters, said Migdalia. “We had no idea she could do it. Her goal is to write a book.

Is YOUR Blended Family Protected? The “Brady Bunch” Syndrome

Everyone remembers the Brady Bunch television show that portrayed the successes and challenges of blended families. Mike and Carol Brady were the iconic American couple, each bringing 3 children into the marriage and raising them as one big happy family.

with the competing interests of your own children, stepchildren, and a new spouse.

Dr. James Grubman, an internationallyrecognized consultant, and author on family wealth psychology, says that communication and preparation are two of the most important actions often missing in families struggling to blend successfully.

Here are a few pointers for blended families found in Christine Fletcher’s Article “Estate Planning Tips for Blended Families” printed in Forbes Magazine: • Simple wills, or merely keeping your property separate is not adequate. Consider a trust that lets your new spouse stay in your home until death or remarriage, with the balance passing to your children.

Blending two families is a difficult balancing act for anyone. Then add financial, asset or property matters to this equation, and you have a breeding ground for conflict.

Among the many challenges blended families face, estate and financial planning can be especially tricky. Emotional issues surrounding financial issues of blended families can be intense when dealing

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Bountiful boys soccer leading the charge in Region 5, Farmington, Davis battling in Region 1

By Josh McFadden joshdmcfadden@hotmail.com

With the postseason not far off, state playoff seeding is becoming increasingly more important in boys soccer. With every victory, teams improve their positions. Locally, Bountiful is atop Region 5, while Farmington and Davis are faring well in Region 1.

Bountiful

The Redhawks are 4-2 in league play as of our press time. Overall, Bountiful sits at 6-4. The Redhawks are No. 12 in the RPI standings, outside of enjoying a first-round bye but still hosting a first-round home game.

On Tuesday, Bountiful enjoyed a 2-1 home victory over Northridge, with all three goals in the game coming in the second half. Raymond Robinson had a goal and an assist for Bountiful, while Evan Drueding had the other goal. Cayden Pulido had an assist as well. It marked the ninth time in 10 games that the Redhawks allowed no more than one goal.

Last Friday, April 21, Bountiful won by the same 2-1 margin, this time on the road at Viewmont. The win was key, as the Redhawks are currently just half a game ahead of the Vikings in Region 5 standings. Drueding and Robinson scored for Bountiful, as the Redhawks scored a goal in each half. Elias Pacheco assisted on one of the goals.

The Redhawks play at Box Elder on Friday for both teams’ final games in April.

Farmington

In Class 6A’s Region 1, Farmington has been fighting for the top spot all season. At our press time, the Phoenix were 6-3 in league action and 7-3 overall. Farmington hasn’t been scoring a lot; however, the team has allowed just eight goals in nine region contests.

On Monday, they slipped past Clearfield 2-1 on the road. It marked the seventh time in nine region games that Farmington was

involved in a one-goal decision. In this one, Farmington scored in both halves, with Chase Ashby and Ben Wright getting shots past the Clearfield goalkeeper. Gavin Warner had an assist for the Phoenix.

Two of Farmington’s losses came last week, as the Phoenix went 1-2. On April 19, they fell to Layton at home 1-0. On April 21, Farmington shut out Syracuse 1-0 on the road, thanks to a goal by Cole Janke and an assist from Davis Wadsworth. The lone goal came in the second half to break a scoreless tie.

The Phoenix hosted Clearfield in a rare case of back-to-back matchups. On Friday,

Farmington travels to Fremont. On Wednesday, May 3, Region 1 play wraps up when Farmington plays at Weber.

Davis

The Darts have fewer wins than Farmington, but along with 6-2 Fremont, no one has fewer losses. Davis is 4-2 in league play and 5-2 in all its games. The Darts have scored four goals in three of its last four games, all of which were wins. The latest example was a 4-0 shutout of Layton on the road. Impressively, all four

goals came after halftime. Andrew Donigan had two goals for Davis, while Grant Kessler and Miles Iverson added goals too. Meanwhile, Kyle Livermore recorded two assists. Bjorn Bergant and Kasen Smith also assisted on goals. Jude Walker had his second shutout of the year.

However, in the previous game, April 19 at Fremont, Davis was on the wrong end of a scoring barrage. High-scoring Fremont defeated the Darts 4-1, finding the back of the net four times in the second half. Bergant had a first-half goal for Davis on a Livermore assist. But it was all Fremont after that.

Davis currently has the No. 3 spot in the RPI rankings. The Darts played at Layton on Wednesday, after our press deadline. Next up is a game at Syracuse on Friday.

Viewmont

Back in Region 5, Viewmont is 4-3 in league action and 5-5 overall. The Vikings have the No. 17 spot in the RPI rankings. The Vikings picked up a big 3-1 victory over Woods Cross on Tuesday. The team had a nice 2-0 cushion at halftime and added a second-half goal for insurance. Max Larsen led the way with a pair of goals, while Cole Halterman had two assists. McKay Stacey had a goal, and Britton Christensen added an assist of his own.

On Friday, April 21, Viewmont fell to Bountiful 2-1. Halterman assisted on a Larsen goal in the loss. Viewmont travels to Bonneville this Friday.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats have a 5-5 record and are 2-4 in Region 5. Woods Cross has some work to do to improve on its 23rd spot in the RPI standings.

In its latest game on Tuesday, Woods Cross fell to Viewmont 3-1, with Corbin Preston getting the Wildcats’ only goal. The team’s game last Friday against Bonneville was postponed. The Wildcats play next at Northridge on Friday. l

Viewmont

Viewmont lost to Box Elder 9-8 in overtime April 19. The Vikings were up 7-2 but couldn’t hold on, scoring just one goal after the first half.

“It was brutal. We made a lot of mental errors in the last two minutes of the fourth quarter which could have secured the game,” said head coach Dan Derrick. “I believe what happened was due to my inexperience in coaching and not knowing how to keep the boys focused and in control. We are very inconsistent and I need to do a better job understanding the situation and helping the boys get out of that funk.”

Samuel Terreros recorded four goals with Mason Gerrard (two goals), Presley Gubler (one goal, one assist), Tyson Mauri (one goal, one assist) and Nathan Delgado (two assists). Also providing offense in the tough loss.

GIRLS

Davis Davis lost to Fremont 13-6 April 18. The Darts scored just two goals in the

second half and couldn’t overcome an early deficit.

“The game did not go well,” said head coach Makenzie Hekking. “The team that showed up was completely different from the team that played last week. It's unfortunate to see your team backslide but I'm hoping we can recenter ourselves.”

Esther Facer and Tallulah Raser both scored two goals while Mackenzie Coleman and Kaydence Johnson had one each and Olivia Lifferth recorded two assists in the loss.

With the loss to Farmington, Davis fell to 5-3 in Region 1 play and 5-4 overall.

In the loss against Bountiful April 20, the Vikings couldn’t overcome a four-goal deficit at halftime.

“I don’t think we had our best game or a game that reflects our girls’ skill level,” said head coach Lauren Pescetti. “After having such a rough, mentally-taxing game with Box Elder due to circumstances out of our control, I believe that had some carry-over effect on our game with Bountiful.”

Walton scored all three of Viewmont’s goals in the loss.

“The best part about our region is that we get to play everyone twice,” Pescetti said. “Great job to Bountiful who definitely out-played us, but I am excited to get the chance to play them again.”

Against East April 21, the Vikings won 16-6.

“I was really happy with the girls’ effort and tenacity this week,” said Pescetti. “Our newer players got a good amount of playing time this game and we even had two goals – both of whom it’s their first time ever playing lacrosse [Alexis Lee and Madeline Gaskill] – get their first goal. Others who are newer to the game got to enjoy being on the field having a hand in our win. It’s the little things like seeing their smiles and pride in their hard work that continue to grow my love for the game as a coach.”

Prep baseball update: Viewmont, Woods Cross atop Region 5

By Josh McFadden

Abouthalfway through the region portion of the season, the Viewmont baseball team is still unblemished.

The Vikings sit at 7-0 as of our press time and sport an 11-3 record. The team’s efforts have earned it a No. 3 spot in the RPI rankings for Class 5A. Viewmont is allowing just five runs a game in region play.

This week, Viewmont faces Northridge in Region 5 action. The two teams already got together on Tuesday at Northridge in a contest that saw the Vikings run away with a 10-1 victory. Cal Miller was the winning pitcher. He allowed just three hits and had six strikeouts from the mound. It didn’t take long for Viewmont to exert its authority. The Vikings scored eight runs in the opening inning, making the Knights play catchup from there. The Vikings added two more runs in the sixth inning for insurance. Braxton Brenenstall had a home run and two RBI in the win. Cal Miller also had two RBI and added a double. Viewmont and Northridge met again on Wednesday, after our press deadline and face one another a third time this Friday.

The Vikings had a non-region contest with Timpanogos on Monday, falling 11-1 to the state power. Last week, Viewmont took three games from Bountiful, winning 11-7, 11-3 and 9-4.

Woods Cross

The Wildcats are 7-7 overall but 4-2 in Region 5. They have the No. 21 spot in the RPI rankings.

Woods Cross played at Bountiful on Wednesday and hosts the Redhawks on Friday. On Tuesday, the Wildcats lost to Bountiful 8-3 despite outhitting their opponent 8-7.

The week before, Woods Cross and Box Elder played a pair of high-scoring games, both of which finished with 14-13 scores. The Wildcats were on the winning

end of the games on April 18, racking up 13 hits. Beckham Stanger and Gavin Shupe had big games, with both bringing in three runs. Stanger also hit a double. The following day, Woods Cross’ Max Moffat hit a double and a home run in addition to three RBI. Beau Blackwell also had three RBI, but their efforts weren’t enough to offset Box Elder’s 17 hits.

Woods Cross and Viewmont will go toe to toe in a three-game series next week.

Bountiful

The Redhawks currently occupy the 15th spot in the 5A RPI rankings. Bountiful is 7-7 overall and 3-4 in Region 5 games.

In Bountiful’s 8-3 win over Woods Cross on Tuesday, Easton Aubuchon was the winning pitcher, and he picked up six strikeouts too. He also had a double and two RBI from the plate. Dallin Maxwell had a double and one RBI. Bountiful and Woods Cross finish their three-game slate this week.

Last week, the Redhawks struggled with three losses to Viewmont. Yet, the team has a chance to move up the standings and RPI rankings the rest of this week against the Wildcats.

Davis

The Darts are in second place in Region 1 with a 7-3 mark. The team is 7-9 overall and 18th in Class 6A’s RPI rankings.

After going 3-0 against Clearfield a week ago, Davis is 1-1 so far this week with two more games to go. Davis fell to Fremont 5-2 on Monday but responded with a 5-4 victory over Farmington the following day. Davis had two RBI from Kaleb Weaver and a double from Carter Knight. The two teams met on Wednesday and will finish the week against one another on Friday.

Farmington

The Phoenix are right below the Darts in the RPI rankings at No. 19. In region standings, the Phoenix are fifth at 6-7.

New VHS volleyball coach hosting spring camp

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

New Viewmont High girls volleyball coach Karl Lippa, who has been assisting the program for the past two seasons, is hosting a spring camp May 16-18 at VHS for boys and girls in grades 3 through 9. He will be assisted by his coaching staff – consisting of Kristi Roy, former Bountiful High player Brooklyn Wiggins and Kerri Haddock – along with the current Vikings players.

The cost of the three-day camp is $45. An Intermediate/Junior High Prep session will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m. each day for new or experienced players to help with serving, passing, setting and hitting skills and techniques. An additional focus will be on blocking and digging within game play.

A Beginning/Elementary session is scheduled from 7 to 8:30 p.m. for anyone

who wants to try out the sport or who loves the game. “Whether a player is new to the sport or had prior volleyball experience, the goal of this camp is to provide instruction and techniques for players to improve at volleyball and grow their love for the sport,” Lippa said. Fundamental volleyball skills and rules will be taught and demonstrated through interactive play on the court.

Those who register before May 4 will be guaranteed a t-shirt within the cost of the camp. Payments can be made with cash, check or credit card at the VHS main office or by emailing Coach Lippa at VHSViking Volleyball@gmail.com. Later registrations, including walk-ups, will also be accepted after May 4th but t-shirts may not be ensured.

“Our high school players will be involved in demonstrating skills and being court coaches and leaders for the campers,” Lippa said. l

WOODS CROSS CATCHER STETSON CHRITCHLEY

Overall, they have a 7-10 mark. Farmington started a two-game winning streak last Saturday, April 22 when it got by Weber 11-4 at home. It was nice payback for the Phoenix, which had dropped two previous games against the Warriors. In this victory, the Phoenix got many contributions, but perhaps none bigger than Mitch Nielsen. The senior hit a double and a home run in addition to bringing in five batters.

Fellow senior Noah Buchmiller also had

CENTRAL

five RBI.

On Monday, Farmington defeated Layton 8-4, behind the strength of 12 hits. Beckham Smith had a double and two RBI. Brock Nixon added a double and an RBI. In the loss on Tuesday to Davis, Farmington recorded 10 hits on the day and got a big game from Zach Quinton. The senior had two doubles and two RBI Nixon registered a double. l

TELEVISION GUIDE

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Have you heard if there are any plans to make another Bourne movie? If so, will Matt Damon reprise his role as Bourne?

A: It’s possible that Hollywood is finally forgetting about the forgetful assassin. After five movies since 2002, four starring Matt Damon (“Good Will Hunting,” 1997) in the title role, there are no current plans to continue with the Bourne franchise.

TELEVISION GUIDE

That’s not to say there isn’t talk. For as long as Damon is working (and maybe longer), people will always talk about the future of the highly influential action series that launched with 2002’s “The Bourne Identity.”

And why wouldn’t they? In total, the movies earned more than $1.5 billion at the box office, they changed the way fight scenes were filmed in blockbusters for decades, and they transformed Damon from a mid-budget-drama star into a bankable leading man.

And so in 2020, four years after the most recent installment (2016’s “Jason Bourne”), director Paul Greengrass was asked if there will be another. He said he didn’t know for sure, but that he wouldn’t be involved if there was.

That’s bad news, because Greengrass (“News of the World,” 2020) is almost as

closely identified with the series as Damon himself. He directed all but the first and fourth films, but more worryingly, Damon has said in the past that the only reason he returned to the franchise for the fifth movie was because Greengrass was involved.

Q: Does the same person do the voice-over introductions for all of the Law & Order series? It seems like the same voice, but it’s been on so long and there are so many versions that it would be unlikely.

A: It is, in fact, Steve Zirnkilton doing the narration in the opening credits of all but one of the Law & Order shows (he didn’t do “Law & Order True Crime” because it didn’t really have an intro).

This achievement might be less unlikely

than it seems. After all, the intros don’t change much from episode to episode or even season to season.

So while he’s had to record it fresh with each new version of the show — starting with the original series, “Law & Order,” back in 1990, through the short-lived “Jury Duty,” all the way through to the most recent one, “Law & Order: Organized Crime” — that doesn’t actually equate to that much time in the recording booth. This means it’s less of a struggle to keep the same narrator than it is to, say, keep the same detectives.

Indeed, Zirnkilton’s appetite for the work is so strong that he’s taken other jobs that are just “Law & Order”-adjacent. Haveaquestion?Emailusat questions@tvtabloid.com.Pleaseinclude yournameandtown.

Just as school is preparing to let out for summer break, Kate Mara stars in “Class of ‘09.”

Arriving Wednesday, May 10, on Hulu, this new miniseries tells the story of a group of FBI agents, all of whom graduated from the same Quantico class in 2009, who must assemble once more following the death of one of their own. Originally recruited for the force due to their unique backgrounds, the mismatched class soon comes to realize that things may not be exactly as clear-cut as they had hoped going in. Billed as a crime drama and a thriller, the eight-episode series stars Isaiah Stratton (“Will Trent”), Phil Armijo (“Bloodline”), Camry Brault (“The Walking Dead”), Serafina King (“New Amsterdam”), Brian Tyree Henry (“Atlanta”) and, of course, Mara. Mara was born into a joint NFL dynasty, Feb. 27, 1983, in the small town of Bedford, New York. The first-born daughter of Kathleen McNulty (née Rooney) and Timothy Christopher Mara, football was (and remains) a big part of the actress’s life.

While her maternal great-grandfather, Arthur “Art” J. Rooney, founded the Pittsburgh Steelers franchise, her paternal great-grandfather, Tim Mara, founded the New York Giants. As a result of this history, Kate earned an early gig: performing the national anthem at a Giants game when she was 14. To this day, the actress continues to spend much of her time attending various NFL games.

Despite her family’s investment in football, Mara was destined for stage and screen. Once she overcame her teenage urgings to only audition for Broadway shows, Mara quickly landed her first big role: Jessica Chandler in the 1999 film “Random Hearts.” Starring opposite Harrison Ford (“Raiders of the Lost Ark,” 1981) as Kristin Scott Thomas’s (“Gosford Park,” 2001) character’s daughter, Mara would soon be met with plenty of offers from TV and film executives.
