Summerfest brings art downtown

District looks at ways to improve length of time students are on the bus

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—Some special education students in the Davis School District are on the bus for more than an hour, some as long as two hours. District administrators are trying to find a solution to the busing problem that impacts not only special education but general education students.

“Riding the bus is a required service,” said Tiffany Midgley, Director of Special Education Services during a presentation to the school board. “These are some of the most fragile students, some that have medical issues and some that have difficulty with behavior in the best of circumstances. I don’t think any of us want kids on the bus that long.”

Elementary students with disabilities are riding with secondary students and

they’re dropping off kids late or picking them up late, she said. “That can violate the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).”

A team made up of the special education and transportation departments, school directors and leaders are looking at different options to solve the problem, one is a staggered start time. “We looked at what’s

Cruise on over to Coats for Kids and help children in need

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Cars old and new will be cruising down Main Street in Bountiful Father’s Day weekend for the annual Coats for Kids Car show that kicks off June 16. The popular event sponsored by the Bountiful Rotary raises funds to buy children who are in need, coats and other winter clothing.

“It’s been 25 years,” said Krista Simonsen whose father Chris Simonsen

helped start the program. “In 1998 the rotary applied for a $15,000 grant to help children in Bountiful. They bought winter clothes for those in need. It was like we do now it just continued forward.”

Krista said 1999 is when the first actual car show was held. “Some of the members had old cars. They’d display them over by the bubble. It was just one day on Saturday. There were 50 cars and they bought every hotdog at Costco and women brought their cookers and sold the hotdogs for $1.”

It turned into something bigger, she said. “They got sponsors and had more cars coming on. Dick Nourse of KSL had two cars and he loved to help out. He talked about it on KSL and got the word out. That really made it grow.”

Karl Malone brought his truck for years, said Krista. “We had Doug Wright and Mark Koelbel that would talk about it on air.”

Burt Brothers Tires wanted to help so

Ford is recalling more than 125,000 Escape SUVs, Maverick pickups and Lincoln Corsair luxury SUVs because their engines could leak fluids and catch fire. All the vehicles being recalled are hybrid or plug-in hybrid versions. All three models share similar engineering. Because of a manufacturing problem, the 2.5-liter gasoline engines can leak engine oil or gasoline vapors that can catch fire when they contact hot parts in the vehicles’ engine compartment. Because the vehicles are hybrid and have electric motors as well as gas engines, someone could continue driving even after the engine has failed, making problems worse, according to paperwork filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Hospitals see uptick in severe injuries caused by window falls

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

SALT LAKE CITY—Cracking a window as things heat up in the summer isn’t uncommon but it can prove to be dangerous for curious children trying to get a look outside. According to Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital on average 28 children are treated each year for traumatic injuries caused by window falls. Most of these children are between the ages of 3 and 5 years old.

“We’ve seen an uptick in pediatric falls,” said Spencer Proctor, emergency department and trauma medical director, Intermountain Riverton Hospital. “It can result in minor soft tissue injury or can be a fracture. Some suffer long term problems.”

These are preventable injuries, he said. “But you first have to know how to prevent them. That’s why we’re hoping to educate the public now, so we all can help keep kids safe.”

In the last couple of years the number of children injured has almost doubled, said Dr. Michael Rollins, pediatric surgeon, University of Utah Health and Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “Increasingly there have been brain injuries and a lot of broken bones that have required surgical intervention.”

Jazarah Staton was injured in 2021 after falling from her second-story bedroom window when she was 3 years old.

“It was Memorial Day weekend,” said her father, Tariq Staton. “We were kicking off the summer. We put Jazz to bed and cracked a

window so it wouldn’t get too stuffy. Then we heard a loud bang. We ran into her bedroom and saw that she wasn’t there.”

Staton said they could hear some moaning outside. “We got outside and found her wedged between the car and the garage door. It looked like she’d opened and fallen out of her window, that the car broke her fall, and then she slid down and hit the garage door. We found her on the ground, crying.”

She was treated as a trauma patient, said Shayna Staton, Jazarah’s mother. “They did a CT scan and found a minor brain bleed and a fractured skull. She was transferred to Primary Children’s Hospital” for more trauma assessments.

After her release, Jazarah returned to Primary Children’s for follow-up tests and speech therapy to ensure the traumatic brain injury didn’t cause cognitive disabilities or memory loss.

“We know how severe the accident could have been if the car hadn’t been parked under the window,” Shayna said. “We know how lucky we are. This could have been prevented. Invest in a window lock.”

“Our focus is on injury prevention,” said Michelle Jamison, community health program manager at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital. “Open windows can be a hidden fall hazard for children, and thousands of kids are injured from window falls every year nationwide, but we can all help prevent these injuries by following the four-inch rule: Open windows four inches – about the length of a

business card.”

When organizing a room make sure the furniture is away from the window, she said. “Screens are meant to keep bugs out, not to keep kids in. They can be pushed out too in case of an emergency.”

Procter said kids sustain more injuries from a fall than adults because their anatomy is different. “Their heads are bigger so that is struck first. They have a lot of chest trauma and head injuries from a fall.”

Traumatic brain injuries are the most devastating and severe injuries that can occur, said Rollins. “There might be long term treat-

Depression rates in Utah remain high

Depression affects millions of people worldwide, and Utah is no exception. The state has some of the highest rates of depression in the country, with thousands of people struggling with it each year.

Utah is known for its focus on family, religion and community, so individuals in the state can often feel pressure to conform to social expectations. This can lead to feelings of isolation, especially for those who don’t fit the traditional mold. The state's conservative culture can also make it difficult to ask for help, as mental health is sometimes stigmatized.

“In Utah, there’s the aura of being a certain way, living to certain standards and an ongoing quest for perfection,” said Jason Corbridge, owner of NeuroHealth in South Jordan. “When you say you have an issue or you’re having a problem, that's almost taboo. No one wants to say they need help, or appear to be failing. Even when they’re not failing. Our suicide rate in Utah is one of the highest in the nation.”

To address the issue of depression and suicide, it is essential to raise awareness about the prevalence of mental health issues and reduce the stigma. This can be done through education and outreach programs and encouraging individuals to seek help. It is also important to provide access to mental health resources, counseling services and support groups, particularly in underserved communities.

Signs of depression include feeling little

interest or pleasure in doing things, feeling hopeless or bad about yourself, feeling that you’re a failure or have let your family down or having thoughts of self-harm.

“The first thing to do is to speak up and talk about it,” Corbridge said. “Get past the notion that you are the only one who feels that way, or that you shouldn't be discussing your feelings. If you’re not in the best mental position to make decisions on your own, all the more reason to reach out to friends or family, anyone in a position to think clearly and hear you out. Make others aware of your situation, and then look for professional help.”

In the February 2023 Kaiser Family Foundation analysis of the U.S. Census Bureau, Household Pulse Survey, 33% of adults in Utah reported symptoms of anxiety and/ or depressive disorder (with women showing higher rates than men), compared to 32.3% of adults in the U.S.

Often, people are struggling but feel they need to just push through it and not show weakness. But ignoring the situation doesn’t make it better. Many people deal with mental health challenges and there are lots of resources available to get help. If a loved one seems to be facing a mental health issue, initiate the conversation, even if it’s uncomfortable.

“Whether it’s a mom, a spouse, a brother or a friend, it doesn't matter. Talk about your feelings, and don’t make it worse by shying away from what you think will be an awk-

ments and rehab to learn daily living skills again.”

Today Jazarah is an active 5 year old. “We haven’t noticed any lingering effects, and she’s totally fine,” Shayna said. “She still talks about it. She remembers pushing up against the screen and falling out, but not when she landed. We are so lucky she’s OK.”

ward conversation,” Corbridge said. “You'll be surprised at how supportive those around you can be. Additionally, if you’re having suicidal thoughts, reach out to the national hotline at 988 immediately.”

Primary Children’s Hospital celebrates first-ever

two-time living organ donor

Two-year-old Eva has shown her liver transplant scar to many grown-ups, but none were as special as the living donor who made history at Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital, and saved Eva’s life.

Kate is the first person in Utah to become a two-organ living donor. The 37-year-old mother is among the 155 people nationwide who have donated both a kidney and part of their liver to save the lives of others.

After donating a kidney to a woman she met while working in the Washington, D.C., area, Kate then gave part of her liver to Eva, who at the time was a total stranger.

“I’m very happy that I did it,” Kate said after meeting Eva. “She’s super cute and silly, and exactly the way a 2-year-old should be.”

Living-donor liver transplants occur when a portion of a living person’s liver is removed and surgically placed into another person whose liver no longer works properly. After surgery, the donor’s liver regenerates to its regular size within about two months. In the recipient, the transplanted liver grows to fit his or her body, and functions as a healthy liver.

“Living donor liver transplants not only significantly increase the number of available organs for children waiting for a transplant, but they also reduce the waiting time for children who urgently require a liver transplant, saving their lives,” said Cecile Aguayo, pediatric transplant services director at Primary Children’s. “Moreover, the use of living donors also enables the transplant

to be performed before the child’s condition deteriorates, resulting in better outcomes and quality of life post-transplant.”

Primary Children’s has been a national leader in living-donor liver transplants since 1997, when it became the first center in Utah to successfully perform the procedure. At that time, Primary Children’s was among

few pediatric hospitals in the country that had saved a child through living-donor liver transplantation.

Since 1997, 42 living-donor liver transplants have taken place at the hospital which also has the largest liver and disease transplantation program in the Intermountain West, and serves patients from all over the world. For

information on becoming a living organ donor for a child, visit primarychildrens.org.

After donating a kidney in Washington, D.C., Kate moved to Utah where she contacted Primary Children’s and offered to donate part of her liver to help a child in need. Eva was the recipient. She had been treated for biliary atresia since she was two months old.

“It was nine months of waiting [for a matching liver donor],” said Eva’s mom, Alyssa Anderson. “Without intervention, her liver would have failed, and she would have died. Most kids with this disease years ago wouldn’t have even lived to see their first birthday.”

Around the time she turned one, Eva received part of Kate’s liver. After a year of healing, Eva’s liver transplant team arranged for Eva and her parents to meet Kate at Primary Children’s.

“I was kind of starstruck,” Anderson said of meeting Kate. “I said, ‘You’re a real person, you’re normal, and you’re just like me.’ She’s a mom, just like me.”

“It’s a wonderful experience to help someone, even in general. Like when you open the door for someone, they’re just really happy about it…and it makes your day to help,” Kate said. “So, imagine the opportunity to donate and save someone’s life.”

Anderson said she hopes to follow Kate’s example someday and pay it forward to another family. “You don’t know how much it means to the people you’re saving.”.l

they decided maybe they could do a burnout sponsored by a tire company, she said.

It turned into a two day event with a Friday parade on Main, the burn out, live music and food, Krista said. “It just blossomed from there. It’s become a destination event.”

Former Mayor Cushing wanted it and gave it his blessing, she said. “He supported and helped for years. (Former) Bountiful Police Chief Tom Ross was great working with the burnout along with the fire department. They were all onboard. That’s why it blossomed; it was because of everybody’s help.”

The club asks principals and teachers from 16-17 elementary schools in the south Davis area to find those children in need, said Krista. “It is handled as a voucher program. They give them to the parents so they can shop at the store and buy winter clothing but they don’t have to tell their kids that they can’t afford it. We help everybody that comes to us.”

During 2020 they still held the parade, she said. “We raised enough money to help the kids that year as well. There’s usually more than 500 kids that we help. We’ve helped a lot with other people in need.”

In addition to the clothing the club has branched out to give service scholarships to high school students, Kris -

ta said. “They have to show us what service they’ve given. We love giving scholarships to high school students.” They already have 300 registered cars, she said. “We don’t care what you bring. It can be new or old, rusted or duct taped – it doesn't matter.”

Vito’s will be there making 500 sandwiches, said Krista. “He just said, ‘I can help you guys out.’”

The car show opens on Saturday at 10 a.m. “There will be a patriotic program to honor veterans at noon with a skydiver who jumps with the flag,” she said. “We’ve

got live bands booked. Vision does only one free concert and they’ll play on Saturday. We also have the Rockees, a band made up of local kids on Friday.”

Krista wants to emphasize that they need visitors to eat at the food court. “That’s how we make our money.”

There have been many sweet stories from participants about how the show has helped them, she said. “One man came up and said he’d gotten a coat as a child. He said he hangs his big coat over the little coat. He said it gave him confidence. Now he’s graduated from the U and is a lawyer. He said he just wanted to come back to help other children.”

There will be big prize giveaways at the show as well, said Krista. “We have a motorcycle and four-wheeler that were donated.”

It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years, she said. “We’ve probably helped over 14,000 kids during that time. We feel blessed that we’ve been able to help everyone.”

Coats for Kids starts Friday, June 16 at 5 p.m. at Bountiful Town Square, 75 E. 200 South, with the parade along Main Street at 6 p.m. followed by a pie eating contest and the burnout around 8 p.m. The next day Saturday, June 17 the car show opens at 10 a.m. at Bountiful Park, 400 N. 200 West and closes at 4 p.m. l

‘Living in Balance’ pilot program gives inmates opportunity to rehabilitate

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

FARMINGTON—The Davis County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the Department of Corrections for a pilot program called Living in Balance that gives inmates with a parole violation the opportunity to rehabilitate.

“It’s been working very well,” said Davis County Sheriff Kelly Sparks. “The idea is inmates brought back into custody for substance abuse, etc. can have a treatment class, training and rehab. They get points for completing those so they might be released early.”

Without the program inmates can wait up to three months to meet with the parole board to become eligible for the classes, he said. “They’re basically counting time. They don’t get any rehab or other programs.”

If they’re picked up by AP&P (Adult Probation and Parole) and qualify they arrange for a transfer, said Sparks. “They can start the program immediately with classes and services and a rehab program within a week. The goal is to make better citizens that make better choices and do it more quickly which is better for the community.”

Currently there are six to 10 incarcerated inmates in the program, he said. “We have in house counselors, an AP&P class and Davis Behavioral Health teaches some.

The closer they get to finishing the classes they can qualify for release sooner. It’s a big issue to them.”

In deciding who takes part in the program, AP&P looks at the inmate’s criminal history and violations, Sparks said. “They screen them to see who they think would be the most successful.”

They look at those who were taking classes when they were incarcerated before

-

and earned early release on probation. “If they’re caught with drugs again and have to come back into custody they want to make sure they have success in the program.” Sparks said they come and go so the good thing is the program doesn’t necessarily have a start and end. “They don’t have to wait for the next class. It’s a fluid kind of thing with different stages of the program depending on how long they’ve been in

custody.”

Eventually they’ll go back to the parole board, he said. “If they need three classes they can get them before they go to the parole board and possibly get released now. It’s a significant savings for us to not keep them in custody for three months and a savings for the taxpayers if we don’t have to care for them.”

Sparks said he believes the reason the Department of Corrections reached out to them to run the pilot program is because they’re a willing partner. “We’re willing to try things that are new. We’re also centrally located along the Wasatch Front. We’ve picked up some inmates for Salt Lake County and we have more space. We’ve run a number of great partnerships which is probably why they decided to do a pilot at our facility.”

They don’t have results yet on how the program is working, he said. “It’s been successful anecdotally. We’ll see if we have the results we expect but so far it seems very successful.”

Hopefully it will expand into other areas, said Sparks. “It’s a great example of a partnership between us and a governmental agency to work together to improve safety for Davis County. If we pool our resources we can do things much better than have been done in the past.” l

Celebrate art and culture at 36th annual Summerfest

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Looking for something fun to do with the family while experiencing art and culture?

For the next three Mondays BDAC’s Summerfest Art & Culture Celebration will fill Bountiful Town Square with art, live music and food for the whole family.

“It started 36 years ago,” said Kristen Alley, BDAC Events, Summerfest and music program director. “It’s been in a lot of different formats. It used to be held at the main Bountiful Park and they’d fly in acts and people would host them in their homes.”

It became Conversations in Culture and moved to Town Square, she said. “We started using local groups and highlighting them last year. This year it changed to a Summerfest art party in the park highlighting artists.”

There is a lot of culture right here in Utah, said Alley. “We have so much in our own community. This gives them a platform to share it.”

Summerfest will feature local dance groups and musicians, she said. “We have an awesome band that plays original music but some you’ll know too. Others will play more modern and some do the 50s, 70s and 80s. It’s for any age.”

Alley said they had an open call for performers and artists. “We picked who our budget could afford while getting strong artists and giving them a chance to sell their art.”

They have nine vendors, she said. “There’s hand drawn live art where the artist draws a strip like you would have in a photo booth. Every Monday you can see an artist make pottery and there will be food trucks.”

Summerfest used to be in August for two days, she said. “With these dates it’s not so hot and we found that Mondays aren't used as much (for other activities).”

It’s more of a come and go format, said Alley. “There’s less full performances. Families can come hear the performances and enjoy food – things like that. Come out and enjoy art in the park.”

The festival will be held at the Bountiful Town Square, 54 East 100 South, from 5 to 9 p.m. on Monday nights, June 12, 19, 26. Performances begin at 5:30 p.m. each week. l

This artwork by Maren Lawrence symbolizes the rains chalk artists went through this year for the Bountiful Chalk Art Festival. “The rain brought out the best in everyone,” David Joy, Executive Director of the Joy Foundation, the organizer of the festival said. “The level of persistence and determination was amazing. Some artists even had to start over again. One artist even redrew his rained-out painting from a photo of him brushing away the ruined painting.”

Inmate found dead at Davis County Correctional Facility

A 38-year-old man was found unresponsive and pronounced dead June 2 at the Davis County Correctional facility. Deputies conducting morning head counts located the individual alone in his cell. No foul play is suspected, a DCSO release said.

Internal and external investigations are being conducted, and the cause of death is pending an autopsy from the Medical Examiner’s Office. “Our Life Safety Committee, an advisory board composed of staff and citizens, will also review the incident to see if any additional steps could be taken in the future,” the release said. “Family of the deceased was notified, and we offer our support to them at this difficult time. Out of respect for the family, we will not be releasing the inmate’s name at this time.”

“This is a difficult loss for our staff,” said Chief Deputy Arnold Butcher. “Our team of corrections and medical personnel do all they can to ensure those in our care are looked after like one of their own. Our Peer Support team has been activated, and our in-house mental health provider has been notified. We ask all employees, whether they are new to our office or veteran staff, to seek these resources or any other resource they find comfort in.”

Plenty of variety found in neckline

How much attention are you paying to your neckline? It’s all very well to concentrate on the hemline and the waistline, provided you do not neglect the neck’s best line. And if you like variety you’ll have plenty of it this year. We’ll start with the country neckline and work toward town.

The musician and artist bow tie combined with a Buster Brown collar is A-1 for the wide-open spaces. Also the silk scarf or bandana wrapped around the throat and tied in a careless sort of fashion with the ends kicking around like a tom-boy. The stock collar and riding suit when you’re feeling horsey, and the knitted straight scarf looped over in front and fastened with a novelty pin are both happy ways of drawing the country neckline.

W e frequently hear complaints that government fails to keep up with changing times and new challenges. So, let’s give credit to the Davis County Commission for its timely response and new vision for the once-rural Legacy Center complex near Station Park in Farmington.

CYCLOPS

BY BRYAN GRAY

The commissioners are positioning the county as Utah’s leading site for youth recreation. Instead of under-utilized rodeo grounds, the location is being transformed into a special event complex. It could be used for a business conference or a high school graduation, but the emphasis will be on attracting the hundreds and thousands of children, pre-teens, and teens from all over the western states who participate in club and city-sponsored soccer, lacrosse, volleyball, etc.

It’s an expanding market, a niche tourism sector generating sales tax from restaurants and hotels. (Along with the two existing Farmington hotels, an additional one will probably be needed to house the parents and athletes wishing to be near the action.) In addition, hotels, eateries, gas stations, and other retail stores within miles of Farmington will see extra cash in their tills.

Oh, and the County Fair…What has become a mishmash of insurance agent booths and second-hand clothing/jewelry stands is being replaced with August’s Heritage Festival, a concept which ironically appears to be more like an old-time fair than the over-commercialized replica the county sponsored in the recent past.

Of course, there has been some blowback from residents who despair to see the rural tradition receding. But the new vision is a no-brainer. You can’t fix a leaking ship with a cotton ball and a strip

of masking tape. Davis County has a farming tradition, but not a farming future. Today’s taxpayers hop on Toyota SUVs, not horses. The last time I’ve heard the word “saddle” uttered was during a Willie Nelson song at a karaoke bar. Mention stirrups and 99% of Davis County women will think of their OB/GYN. There are three times more day spas in Davis County than fruit orchards. (It’s not just Davis County, of course. There were once some 500 dairy farms in Utah; KSL reported last week that there are now only 100.)

The county is not tossing the ponies out of the pasture. Equestrian events are being moved near the USU Botanical Gardens area. If people want to see a rodeo, they can take a 15-minute drive to the Weber County Fairgrounds. There are rural options both in the county and in nearby communities. But by and large, the closest a Woods Cross family wants to get to “real country” is paying $75 for a George Strait concert.

The county commissioners could have turned a blind eye to the future, much like Congress is doing to the coming Social Security debacle. Instead, they plotted a course benefitting merchants, taxpayers, and families.

And if you’re still not convinced, just think of this: In the near future, the once-deserted Legacy Center dirt could be the site of a multi-state pickleball championship. If that’s announced, I’ll invest in a corndog food truck!

It helps to remember

You are not in charge of the universe. (That position has already been filled). You are not responsible for the happiness or sanity of those around you. (Some of your family members or closest friends may have already made other plans). You are not in control of the moods, choices, or reactions of those around you; (only your own). If you are so unhappy, change the old rules. Life does not always go smoothly – adapt. When faced with anything that might cause anger, frustration, or confusion, say to yourself: I can handle this – I can cope with this – and then do so. Holding on to old resentments is painful. (Do yourself a favor and let them go). Don’t repeat old patterns that don’t work. (Remember who you’re trying to become). Christ has given us the perfect directions to be successful – love God, and love your fellowman. It helps to remember, life isn’t fair but it’s still pretty good, and we are the ones who can manage the unmanageable! However, if we choose not to manage life, then we will develop symptoms. (Symptoms are just messages). (Once we understand the message, we don’t need the symptom. But if we don’t learn the symptom, the lesson will be repeated). For instance, when it comes to resentment, anger, and fear, either we manage them, or we are controlled by them. Resentment is not managing the past. Anger is not managing the present. And fear is not managing the future. (Focusing too much on the past results in depression. Focusing too much on the future results in anxiety). The solution to this dilemma is to replace resentment, anger, and fear with the hope of the Gospel, and that is based on faith. Faith is not about everything turning out OK. Faith is about being OK no matter how things turn out. When we are confronted with a life that doesn’t go the way we want it to, we get frustrated, embarrassed, anxious, fearful, and we feel weak and depressed, and then we break down. When it comes to faith, if you can believe, all things are possible. In D&C: 17& 18 we find the words: Verily, Verily, I

JOHN WATERBURY

say unto you, ye are little children, and ye have not as yet understood all things the Father hath prepared for you; and ye cannot bear all things now, nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings are yours, and the riches of Eternity are yours. What I take from this is simple. Don’t tell God how big your problems are; tell your problems how big your God is. Wayne Dyer wrote: Look for opportunities to be inspired. Take a lot of walks and turn them into prayers. Our mind is capable of transcending our old limitations. Be patient – healing takes time. Patience with self is hope. Patience with others is love. And patience with God is faith. In managing life and enduring to the end, we are encouraged to be courageous. But true courage does not always mean being stronger, or faster, or bigger. Sometimes it simply means quietly doing what needs to be done, again and again. It is the tired voice at the end of the day saying, “Tomorrow, I will try again.” President Roosevelt wrote: True courage belongs to those who are in the arena; whose faces are marred by dust and sweat and blood; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best know in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if they fail, at least fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”

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

Choose your company carefully

Afriend will do his best to prevent you from driving off a cliff. Your enemy will give you directions to the cliff and happily watch you plunge to your destruction. A friend cares enough to caution you about financial decisions or bad investments. Your enemy will be glad to see you lose your money. Your friend will warn you about a snake in the path. Your enemy will tell you to enjoy your walk.

A friend cares enough to help. Your enemy will let you sink. Thirty years ago, I made a move. I had a house payment in one town and an apartment rent in my new location. I had two car payments, a very sick wife and two small children. The financial burden was tough. I met with a group of 8 to 10 men every Thursday morning at 6 a.m. for prayer. These men prayed for me but came to me one day and said, “We’re going to collect $300 to $400 a month to give to you until you sell your house. I was surprised, thankful

but declined the offer. They insisted. One man spoke up and said, “We’re not going to sit here and watch you sink.” I was very close to just giving my house back to the bank but fortunately I was able to sell it eventually and gained enough money to make a down payment on a house in my new location.

Your friend may not be able to save you. However, your friend will try to save you from sinking. Your enemy will find humor in your demise.

Your friend will not barrage you with your past mistakes. A real friend puts the past behind and moves forward. The only good thing about remembering past mistakes is so you won’t repeat them. Your enemy delights in rehashing ancient history when you failed,

divorced, folded, went crazy and more. Your friend will focus with you on today. They will celebrate your current life and activities.

The Bible says the Devil is like a roaring lion seeking whom he might devour. Often, his most effective work is discouraging us and immobilizing our lives.

The work of God is forgiving, forgetting, cleansing, burying and looking ahead to the goal line. The work of evil is to take you back to your old sins and failures.

The Bible talks about forgetting those things which are behind. The scriptures teach that God through Christ cleanses us of all our sins. He buries our sins in the depths of the sea to be remembered no more. God doesn’t remember them, so why do you worry about

a failure that happened a hundred years ago? Remember Lot’s wife? She looked back and turned into a pillar of salt. Looking back turns us into salt or immobilizes us from going forward. You can’t go forward looking over your shoulder. The Bible says press toward the goal line. This means you look forward.

Choose who you spend your time with very carefully. Live looking forward and avoid those who want to keep you looking back.

My parents immigrated to continue their family legacy in America

Iam proud to be a first generation AsianAmerican with parents who immigrated to this country for the opportunities all Americans enjoy today. My father, who is a trained physician, delivered phonebooks at night while my mother held jobs in a nursing home, and cut fabric at a local store. My mother was also a medical resident at the University of Chicago three hours away from her daughters who lived in Iowa. My parents’ dedication and commitment helped make their lifelong dreams of small business ownership a reality. My mom successfully opened her own private medical practice which brought new challenges of caring for her patients while simultaneously managing the daily functions of a growing business. I learned from her experiences the value of advocating for policies that promote small business growth which create the high paying jobs our communities desperately need. Today, as I look back at my parents’ small business journey, I fully understand the critical importance of supporting our Asian-American, Native Hawaiian, Pacific-Islander (AANHPI) business communities.

Both President Biden, and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) Administrator Isabella Casillas Guzman, have created a plan to help AANHPI small businesses grow by providing additional access to capital, business training, and federal con-

tracts. By helping these entrepreneurs, we are supporting the innovation, competition, and unique experiences that AANHPI communities bring to the larger small business picture. While Asian American, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders make up only 6.2 percent of the U.S. population, they own 8.4 percent of all small businesses nationwide. Three million businesses are owned by Asian-Americans employing five million people with annual revenues of more than $1 trillion. Most of these businesses are in the professional, science, medical, and technical services segments of our economy.

AIKTA MARCOULIER REGIONAL ADMINISTRATOR

SBA established four equity goals that focus on direct assistance including:

GOAL 1. Improve access to capital for underserved communities, including AANHPI small business owners: SBA is investing in additional technology to match underserved borrowers with Community Financial Institutions (CFIs), including Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs). For borrowers, application requirements will be simplified, data will integrate automatically, a high-quality customer service support system will be available, and the process will be mobile-friendly.

develop a systematic and formal process with its resource partners to assist AANHPI businesses with disaster loans, including application completion, reconsiderations, credit repair, and managerial and technical services.

GOAL 4. Increase access to business counseling, training, and services: SBA will investigate innovative approaches for reaching AANHPI clients through its Community Navigators Pilot Program, Women’s Business Centers, Small Business Development Centers, SCORE, and Procurement Technical Assistance Centers.

One way the SBA is supporting our nation’s AANHPI entrepreneurs is through its flagship loan guarantee programs. In fiscal year 2022, the agency approved 1,084 504-loans worth $1.5 billion, and 5,603 7(a)-loans totaling $5.3 billion to AANHPI businesses. During this same period, the agency also approved 165 micro-loans under $50,000 totaling $3.7 billion. In May 2021, President Biden signed Executive Order 14031, which directed the development of an ambitious, government-wide interagency plan to advance equity, justice, and opportunity for AANHPI communities. The

GOAL 2. Expand access to federal procurement and contracting opportunities: SBA will enroll more small, disadvantaged businesses into its business development and contracting programs including the 8(a) Business Development program, HUBZone program, and Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business certification program. The goal is to strengthen those businesses’ capabilities to compete and perform on contracts.

GOAL 3. Provide support and expanded access to disaster assistance: SBA will work with its field and program offices to

As a result of my parents’ hard work, my mother became a successful entrepreneur who loved the work she did every day. I am proud of my parents’ fortitude and business savvy and feel proud that the SBA is a staunch ally of the AANHPI community.

being used in other districts in the state and what is being used nationwide,” said Shawna Cragun, Director of Transportation. “These are some of the things they considered. Districts statewide and in other states are using staggered start times.”

They’re doing that a couple of different ways, she said. “Some of them have five or six start times for elementary, two or three for junior high. Some actually let the transportation department set the start time. So they would route the route then tell the school what their start time was going to be.”

Cragun said her concern with this is it makes collaboration very, very difficult between schools. “A lot of our elementary schools will split and feed into more than one junior so you’re having a significant impact on parents and teachers as they are trying to do things.”

The next thing is increasing time between schools, she said. “As we were looking at options this is by far the most viable. When I’m talking about times I’m talking about the release time from one school and the time we need to be at the next school.”

Most of them are about 30 to 35 minutes, said Cragun. “Those are the times we’re having struggles with. Anything that’s been within 40 to 45 minutes we’ve been extremely successful with.”

Also hiring more bus drivers is still a great option, she said. “Truthfully we’ve looked at this and routed it. We would need about 83 new drivers and about 45 new buses. The expense of that is in the millions but beyond that, truthfully there’s just not enough people. That one’s hard even beyond the money.”

The team came up with an Option #1 and Option #2 with proposed bell schedules (see charts). Option #2 really addresses the p.m. and Wednesday morning late start, said Cragun. “It has brought attention to the other days. Those have been a problem for a long time but Wednesdays have just exacerbated it. Everybody’s got their attention drawn to it that we’re not getting there on time.”

This affects the general students as well, she said. “There’s an 88.5% failure rate on Wednesday when they arrive late. It’s heartbreaking. They’re arriving before the second bell but are they getting there frazzled, missing instruction and rushing? Are they ready to learn when they get there? It’s actually affecting everyone.”

“When I was a principal at Central Davis it was a real problem,” said Secondary Director Dave Tanner. “They’d get there when the bell rang but they didn’t have time for breakfast. It broke my heart. I’d let them go to class 10 minutes late so they could have breakfast.”

Is there a solution to the problem? he said. “Is it going to make everyone happy? More than likely not.”

“I think we should move forward with Option #2,” said School Board President Liz Mumford. “It’s not hard to swallow for everybody. It’s a temporary solution but could be done pretty quickly but this deserves a long study. We have to look at city management, traffic lights, etc. There’s a lot of solutions and lots of thoughts.”

This is really an administrative function so there’s not going to be a vote by the board specifically on whether to shift schedules, said Mumford. “I do think it’s something the board wants to stay abreast of and be involved in to support what action we can take that helps our special ed students and general ed students get to school safely and successfully. Option #2 might be a good starting place.”

At Tuesday’s school board meeting Tanner gave the board a follow up in favor of Option #2. “The proposed schedule gives a time shift that allows 40-45 minutes in the mornings for the bus to pick up kids,” he said. “In high schools and junior highs it allows for 30-35 minutes at the end of the day.”

Tanner said they sent out a survey to elementary principals, teachers and all staff. “They as a whole selected the second option as their most favorite. We also talked to junior high principals and they liked this option as well.” l

Utah DWR announces 2023 Free Fishing Day

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com

The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources just announced Free Fishing Day 2023, and it promises to be a fantastic time for both amateur and experienced anglers across the state, but what is Free Fishing Day?

For one day only, June 10, 2023 any Utah resident will be able to go fishing in a public body of water without a license. A great event for first timers and experts alike, Free Fishing Day will be the perfect opportunity to get out on the water, and enjoy Utah’s wonderful natural resources.

“Because you don’t need a license to fish that day, it’s the perfect time to take someone with you and introduce them to this fun sport,” Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Sportfish Coordinator Randy Oplinger said. “Early June is one of the best times to fish in Utah. All of the fish in

the state, both warm water and cold water species, are active and willing to bite this time of the year.”

So, where can residents go to cast their lines? While there are nine suggested ponds and reservoirs in Davis County alone, there are close to 60 different community ponds around the state that individuals and families can access, many of which will be stocked with rainbow trout prior to Free Fishing Day.

In addition to a commemorative “First Catch” certificate, the Utah DWR reminds anglers of all levels that while they may not need a license on Free Fishing Day, all other regulations such as park entry fees, catch limits, and littering regulations still apply.

For a full list of rules and regulations for not only Free Fishing Day, but fishing in Utah year round, fishers can access the free 2023 Fishing Guidebook on the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources website, wildlife. utah.gov. l

Campfire restrictions still in place, despite wetter year

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—It’s no secret that Utah has been getting more than its fair share of water this year. In a complete 180 from last year, some areas almost have too much, leading to concerns of flooding in many areas. Still, that hasn’t stopped residents from going out and taking advantage of the warmer temperatures. June is the perfect time to enjoy the outdoors with friends and family, as long as it’s done responsibly. With all the increased water levels around the state, and in Davis County, it’s important to remember that campfire restrictions are still in place.

GREAT SALT LAKE—Of the many things that the Great Salt Lake is known for, wildlife isn’t high up on the list. Many longtime residents of Davis County

will remember learning about brine shrimp, and the Antelope Island buffalo, but beyond that? A surprisingly diverse wildlife ecology.

That diversity is due, in large part to the shorebirds whose migration makes the Great Salt Lake an integral part of their ecosystem. Just how many there are, and

how well they have been doing has been somewhat of a mystery for the past 30 years…until now.

According to the Utah Department of Natural Resources, wilderness areas in Davis County, particularly the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, are still under significant campfire restrictions, including the following: “Building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire, campfire, or stove fire of any kind, including open flame, smoldering, or fuels by any other heat source used for cooking, personal warmth, lighting, ceremonial, esthetic purposes, or other, from April 1 through Oct. 31 annually.”

While there are certain exceptions, the general rules and restrictions listed above will prove for a much safer, and wildfire-free summer. Despite a much wetter year, Utah is still a high desert, and open flame with dry brush can be a receipt for disaster.

Local fishing reports

Information from the Utah Division of Wildlife

Fishing slow to fair. Lake was stocked with rainbow trout in May. DWR recommends anglers use nightcrawler fished below a bobber or trout dough bait fished off the bottom, or behind a casting bubble. Lures such as inline spinners and casting spoons or streamers such as wooly buggers and leech patterns are also reportedly effective.

Deer Creek Reservoir

Deer Creek Reservoir is a very popular summer watercraft recreation destination. Recreational boating, swimming, and non-angler shore use are high during these months. Fishing weekends and holidays can be challenging for boat and shore anglers; particularly if/when fishing the Rainbow Bay and Island day-use areas.

DWR recommends anglers seek out less congested, low-traffic areas to help improve their fishing experience. Fishing early mornings, later evenings, and weekdays during these months can also improve angler success and overall satisfaction. Boat anglers are typically able to launch from both main boat ramps through August. However, low water levels can reduce boat ramp capacity and/or close ramps for motorized launching when levels get too low. DWR recommends motorized boat anglers check Utah State Park Boat

“In my years of working with wildlife, I have dealt with bears, rattlesnakes, cougars and moose, and the only species that I’ve had turn and come back at me was a moose,” DWR Wildlife Section Chief Covy Jones said. “People often underestimate how aggressive they can be.”

According to the DWR, adult moose in Utah can weigh between 600 to 1,000 pounds, with bulls standing 6 feet tall at the shoulder. Utah is also home to 2,500-3,000 of these immense creatures, and with warmer temperatures, the possibility of encountering one rises exponentially.

Their natural habitat is in the foothills, which is not only a common area for camping and recreation but also puts them much closer to urban environments. The DWR has cautioned residents from trying to herd, or corral these animals themselves, as these actions can be interpreted as aggression.

So, what is the safest thing to do when encountering one of these huge animals?

The DWR has given a comprehensive list designed to keep recreators and residents safe in these encounters:

• Always give the moose a lot of space and watch its behavior.

SURVEY: Continued from pg. 9

Service, Tracy Aviary, National Audubon Society Audubon Chapters in Utah, Point Blue Conservation Science, and many volunteers conducted a shorebird survey in Utah, cataloging the different species, their population, and dispersion around the state this year.

“The historic bird surveys we are replicating occurred nearly 30 years ago, so these surveys fill a critical three-decade data gap in our understanding of migratory shorebird populations and their distribution,” National Audubon Society Engagement Manager Max Malmquist said. “Most importantly, the results of these surveys will inform management and policy efforts to ensure there are resources to support birds and the places they need during their migratory journeys across the Intermountain West.”

Though numbers were lower than expected, a fact largely attributed to the late thaw this year, volunteers and

Rainbow Trout: The DWR's spring rainbow trout stocking efforts continue through June into July, and anglers should see fair to good trout catch rates targeting deeper water. Garlic, corn, or cheese-scented trout dough bait fished off the bottom or behind a casting bubble can be very effectivefrom boat and shore. Trolling or actively casting the following lures can also be effective: Jakes Spin-A-Lure, Thomas Speedy Shiner, Eppinger Dardevle, Acme Kastmaster, Zona Lures Z-Ray, Panther Martin, Blue Fox Classic Vibrax Spinner, and Rapala Original.

Bass: Smallmouth and largemouth bass catch rates are good this time of year. Soft plastic worms, stick baits, tube jigs, twister tail grubs, Texas rigs, Carolina rigs, drop-shot rigs, Ned rigs, and Neko rigs. Wacky-rigged Senkos, skirted jigs, streamers, swimbaits, and top water flies or lures can all produce fish.

East Canyon Reservoir and State Park

In the spring, trout fishing – for both boat and shore anglers – is usually best in shallow to midwater depths. For shore anglers, try fishing trout dough bait or a worm off the bottom in shallow water. Boat anglers can do well trolling shallow- to medium-diving crankbaits or a pop gear and a worm or a squid and dodger combination. As the water warms, smallmouth bass fishing will pick up along shallow rocky areas, especially in the afternoon when the water has had a chance to warm up close to shore. Smallmouth bass can be caught during these times with suspending crankbaits, jerk baits, sinking flies, plastics (wacky rig, Texas rig, and Carolina rig), and even a jig tipped with a worm under a bobber. Try casting both parallel to the shore and perpendicular to the shore.

Farmington Pond

Trout catch rates are good to great during these spring months. DWR recommends using a piece of nightcrawler fished below a bobber, or trout dough bait fished off the bottom or behind a casting bubble. Lures (such as inline spinners, casting spoons, and marabou jigs) and streamers (such as Pistol Pete flies, wooly buggers, and leech patterns) can also be effective.

Jordanelle Reservoir

Fishing forecast (June through August): Jordanelle Reservoir is a very popular summer watercraft recreation destination. Recreational boating, swimming, and non-angler shore use are high during these months, particularly in the Hailstone boat ramp and Ross Creek areas. Fishing weekends and holidays can be challenging for boat and shore anglers. DWR recommends anglers seek out less congested, low-traffic areas to help improve their fishing experience. Fishing early mornings, later evenings, and weekdays during these months can also improve angler success and overall satisfaction.

Boat anglers are typically able to launch from the main Hailstone boat ramp and PWC boat ramp through August. However, low water levels can reduce boat ramp capacity and/or close ramps for motorized launching when levels get too low. DWR recommends motorized boat anglers check Utah State Park Boat Ramp Conditions often this summer to ensure you're able to launch safely.

Kaysville Ponds

Trout catch rates are good to great during these spring months. DWR recommends using a piece of nightcrawler fished below a bobber, or trout dough bait fished off the bottom or behind a casting bubble. Lures (such as inline spinners, casting spoons, and marabou jigs) and streamers (such as Pistol Pete flies, wooly buggers, and leech patterns) can also be effective.

MOOSE ON THE EAGLEWOOD GOLF COURSE in North Salt Lake make themselves at home during the 2022 car show. Although they look harmless don’t underestimate how aggressive they can be.

• Never try to approach or feed a moose.

• Keep dogs leashed and under control at all times. It is against Utah law to allow dogs to chase or harass protected hoofed wildlife, like moose.

• Stay calm and do not run away. Talk, make your presence known, and slowly back away in the direction you came.

“Over the course of five days, 115 participants surveyed for shorebirds across Utah,” Sageland Collaborative’s Communications Specialist and Project Coordinator Sierra Hastings said. “Without the dedication of our outstanding volunteers, these efforts would not be possible. We're so grateful for the expertise and passion that our volunteers bring to these surveys, and we're excited to continue counting shorebirds with them in the fall.”

“Like with most wildlife, if you give moose plenty of space and don’t try to get too close, it will help keep you and them safe,” Jones said. “Our biologists relocate numerous moose in urban areas every year, and we really want people to admire these amazing

Above all, if the moose is found in a neighborhood or residential area, the best thing to do is to contact the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources so that they can safely relocate the animal without harming residents, property, or the animal itself.

DAVIS COUNTY—The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources wants people to be aware of the dangers posed by a perhaps, unexpected animal in Utah’s ecology. While many Utah residents know to avoid animals like bears, rattlesnakes, or cougars, one of the most dangerous animals they should watch out for…is moose.

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Transformers: Rise of the Beast’ a sweet, fun return to the franchise

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Transformers were better in the old days.

That’s definitely the case with the movie series, where the movies set in earlier eras have proven consistently better than the ones set today. The first to start the trend was 2018’s “Bumblebee,” set in 1987 and so far the best of the new Transformers movies. Second in the rankings is the new “Transformers: Rise of the Beasts,” which hits theaters this weekend and takes audiences back to 1994. Though it follows a lot of the same formula as other Transformers movies, a good cast and real sweetness make it worth the watch.

In the new movie, the Maximals show up on our planet when theirs is

• NOT invasive

destroyed by a world-eating villain. Arriving with them is a dimension-hopping key both the bad guy and Optimus Prime desperately want. Prime is still mistrustful of humans, but he may need to rely on them if he wants to save both our planet and theirs.

The info card at the screening I attended asked audiences not to post spoilers when they talked about the movie. At the time, I joked that would be impossible since all Transformers movies had the same plot.

It turns out I was wrong. Turns out “Transformers” can still surprise me occasionally, offering up an entertaining little twist in the final moments that I won’t spoil.

Still, there’s plenty here to talk about. Though the plot follows along familiar Transformers lines, there’s a warmth to it that some of the more

• IS safe and effective

dramatic productions lack. The relationships feel genuine, enough so that we feel it if something happens to the people. The world gets saved, just like always, but it feels like there’s more of a personal stake. The Maximals, imports from the late 1990s animated series “Transformers: Beast Wars,” are also better integrated than I would have expected.

The “human” portion of the cast does wonders for the movie’s appeal.

Anthony Ramos is fantastic as Noah, bringing a ton of nuance to the character that wasn’t necessarily in the script. His relationship both to the Transformers had a lot more layers than the series is used to, and his connection to his little brother Kris (Dean Scott Vasquez) was truly touching. As Elena, an assistant with dreams of being an archeologist, Dominique Fishback made her

character feel delightfully real.

The Transformers were a mix of familiar and new voices. Peter Cullen once again voiced Optimus Prime, and Ron Perlman brought a suitable amount of gravitas to Optimus Primal. Pete Davidson wouldn’t have been my first choice for Mirage, but he keeps up with some of the movie’s more serious moments. No matter how you feel about Davidson, this is definitely the least annoying he’s ever been.

All together, it’s a worthwhile trip into the Transformers universe. Even if the Michael Bay movies burned you out, “Rise of the Beasts” might be just enough to make you come back.

In Loving Memory of Judy Ann Turner

April

Judy Ann Turner, a beautiful soul who brought joy and warmth to the lives she touched, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by loved ones on May 28, 2023 at 1:45 a.m. after a urinary tract infection, falling twice, atrial fibrillation, and many years with type 2 diabetes. She was 79 years old at the time of her passing. Judy was born April 21, 1944 in Farmington, Utah, and her life journey came to a close in Layton, Utah.

Throughout her life, Judy was a dedicated wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She was preceded in death by her stillborn son, Edward Dee Hamblin, her parents Mable Frances Henry and Ellis Edward Henry, her siblings, Deion Jane Perry, Cleora Frances Cuzick, and Ellece Southward, her husband Dee Arden Hamblin, and second husband Richard Lawrence Turner, as well as James “Jimmy” Dee Hamblin, who she cherished as a grandson. She is survived by her siblings: Donald Edward Henry (Clearfield, UT), Myra Beth Harned (Farmington, UT), and Lynda Kay Swan (Washington, UT), her children: Keith (Sandy) Hamblin of Layton, Tamera (Jay) Shibuya of Layton, Gary Hamblin of Salt Lake City, Rodney Hamblin of Layton, and Emily (Brent) Hamilton of Tremonton; as well as Rich’s children: Kari (Nick) Reiter, Dayna (Dean) Frehner, Jim (Leslie) Turner, and Trisha (Jason) Tenney; and 17 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren and numerous others that joined her family. The word “step” did not fit into her vocabulary; if she knew you, you were family.

Judy had a passion for creativity, and was often found crocheting or reading. Her skilled hands brought to life beautiful and intricate creations that she lovingly shared with those around her. She was always working on something new. Camping and fishing played a crucial role in Judy’s life. When she was not crocheting or reading, she was found by the lake with a fishing pole and some worms. She absolutely adored being outside with her family, and would have spent all her time out there if she could have.

BIRTHDAY

This man, Blaine R. Elmer, is going to be 90 on June 17, 2023. Please join us in celebration (and cake) at 2 p.m. 'til 6 p.m. on June 17, 2023 (coincidence?) address 1509 West 1500 South, Woods Cross, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Judy loved being “the lunch lady.” She talked about the kids frequently, always bragging about how amazing they were. She was a very giving person, and often spent her own money to make sure the kids would not go hungry. The kids adored her and always went out of their way to get in her line to talk to her. She had a huge impact on theirs and so many others lives.

In her life, Judy experienced the beauty of love twice. She was married to Dee Arden Hamblin on Sept. 12, 1959 in Elko, Nevada. She was with him until he passed on July 29, 1981. Judy later found love again with Richard “Rich” Lawrence Turner; they got married on Nov. 27, 1997 at her house in Layton, Utah. Rich sadly passed away on Dec. 26, 2008.

As we bid farewell to Judy Ann Turner, let us remember her as a compassionate, loving, and creative soul who left an undeniable mark on our lives. May her memory be a source of comfort and inspiration as we navigate life without her physical presence. Judy’s legacy of love and kindness will forever live on in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. May she rest in eternal peace.

In the words of Judy, “I love you more, I win!” Funeral services were held on Friday June 2, 2023 at 2 p.m. at Lindquist’s Layton Mortuary. Her body was cremated.

TELEVISION GUIDE

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Why are TV shows so dark now? I tried watching that “House of the Dragon” show that everyone’s talking about, but I had to turn the brightness all the way up on my TV just to see anything.

A: There are a couple of explanations for this trend toward dimly lit TV and films, and HBO’s “House of the Dragon” is a perfect example of both in action.

TELEVISION GUIDE

The short answer is that filmmakers are more likely to want their products to seem “gritty” and “real,” which is often interpreted as “dark.” And the technology they use now — digital cameras instead of film — allows them to do it.

Shooting on digital means directors have monitors next to them on set that immediately show how the scene looks on screen — no developing required. It means they can push the limit of how dark they can make the scene without risking that the final product will just come out as a black screen.

“House of the Dragon” is shot digitally, and it’s the sort of show that’s supposed to look dim and gritty — not only because it’s about heavy stuff like clan warfare and murder-for-profit, but because they live in castles and seem to do all their business at night, thus by candlelight.

You’re certainly not alone in seeing the light dwindle. Many people have taken to social media and elsewhere to complain about it.

And it’s not just about bleak, backstabby shows like “House of the Dragon.”

Footage from Disney’s kid-friendly liveaction remakes “Peter Pan & Wendy” and “Little Mermaid” have gotten backlash for indulging in this trend as well.

Q: Are they making another “Army of the Dead” movie? I really liked the sequel, “Army of Thieves.”

A: Technically, “Army of Thieves” was a prequel, not a sequel.

I’m not just saying that to be a stickler — it actually matters, because there’s a true sequel in the works as well, and because there’s a prequel TV series com-

ing, too. With four different instalments in play, the timing really starts to matter. It also matters because they’re zombie movies, and so the plots are driven largely by the extent of the zombie outbreak and the progress of society’s collapse.

The first movie, “Army of the Dead,” was a smash hit for Netflix back in 2021. So much so that within months it had already cranked out the prequel “Army of Thieves,” and it was planning more.

“Army of Thieves” followed one of the original characters — safe cracker Ludwig Dieter — as he staged a daring heist in the early days of the zombie apocalypse.

Celebrity Profile

By Dana Simpson TV Media

For some actors, their trajectory into the business is easy to chronicle. They’re either born into a showbiz family or they started small as a youngster and worked their way toward superstar status. For others, like John Corbett, they hit it big in one popular show or film, and just like that... they’re a star. Fittingly, Corbett’s newest project is also titled, “And Just Like That...,” and its second season premieres Thursday, June 22, on Max.

An HBO Max Original series, “And Just Like That...” is the sequel series to “Sex and the City,” joining a franchise that was previously comprised of six TV seasons and two major motion pictures. In Season 2 of the spinoff, Corbett reprises his role as furniturecrafting heartthrob Aidan Shaw, onetime boyfriend of the franchise’s main character, Carrie Bradshaw (played in all iterations by Sarah Jessica Parker, “Hocus Pocus,” 1993). Perpetually locked — it seems — in a will-they-orwon’t-they type of love, fans are itching to find out if this is the season when the pair will finally get together and stay together.

Outside of the Sex and the City universe (otherwise known as New York City), Corbett was born May 9, 1961, in Wheeling, West Virginia, to Sandra Corbett (née Pavilack) and John Joseph Corbett Sr. Raised Catholic despite his mother’s Jewish and father’s Jehovah’s Witness backgrounds, Corbett was an alter boy and attended Catholic school until he graduated high school in 1979. After graduation, he moved to California and began work in a steel factory as a boilermaker.

Six years into his factory job, Corbett was forced to step away from the hard-labor industry due to a back injury, no doubt a blessing in disguise as this is when he would begin taking a smattering of classes, among which were nighttime theater courses.

KTVX 8 p.m. The Wonder Years Season 2 of “The Wonder Years” premieres Wednesday, June 14, on ABC.

Dean’s story is narrated by his adult self, voiced by Don Cheadle.
