ALL GIRLS ROBOTICS TEAM QUALIFIES FOR WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP

KAYSVILLE— Four elementary girls from Kaysville, Utah, are proving that robotics and STEM fields are no longer boys-only. Their team, The Golden Roses, is made up of Ruby (6th grade), Ellie, Aylin (5th grade), and Emma (4th grade). These outstanding young women participated in the VEX World Championship in Dallas, Texas, April 25 – May 4. It is the largest robotics competition in the world, and holds competitions for grades 4 -12 from 50 counties.

“I was in the middle of P.E. [when they found out they qualified], and I just started running around the track yelling,” said Ruby.

“During spring break, we actually did a four-hour practice [for the World Championship],” said Ellie. “We were trying to improve the shooting mechanism.”

Each year the VEX Robotics program releases a new task for the various competitions, which teams will work on throughout the school year. The game for the 2022- 2023 school year is called Slap Shot, a teamwork-based competition that requires two teams to work together to gain points. Teams also compete in Robot Skills Challenge, based on Driving Skills and Programming Skills.

“We got here because of our driving and autonomous skills and coding,” said Aylin, the team leader of the Golden Roses. “We’re trying to improve everything.”

The Golden Roses are divided into coders Ruby and Emma and drivers Aylin and Ellie. For the success of the robot, the four of them have had to work together over the course of the school year. They qualified for Worlds due to their accumulated skills points. The girls and their parents spoke of the importance of teamwork and communication between members.

“You can do anything if you have a good team,” said Ruby.

“This is a really interesting, multi-discipline activity,” said Blake Winslow, Ellie’s father. “For an entire school year, these four ladies have worked together on this project. We’re just really proud of them.”

Due to their hard work and perseverance, The Golden Roses is the first all-girls team to qualify for the VEX World Championship in the area, but their work wasn’t done yet. Due to Davis School District’s policy to no longer financially support interstate travel for elementary students, it was up to The Golden Roses and their families to find a way to the Championship. The team started a GoFundMe and even sold handmade soap to raise funds.

“We went to my grandma and grandpa’s house and made soap,” said Ellie. “It smelled like roses.”

You have until May 31 to cast your vote to help Kaysville fill this specialty niche.

Lindsey Jackson, wife of City Councilmember Nate Jackson, is a local Kaysville resident who wants to be involved in her community. She loves Trader Joe’s, but the four Utah locations are far away and inconvenient, Jackson said. “The Trader Joe’s model would fit our hometown culture and would be fabulous for jobs, sales tax revenues, and to revitalize a previously tired commercial area for our city.”

Jackson said Provo and Orem conducted a competition to lure a Trader Joe’s and it really became a community grass roots effort. She said Orem was successful in enticing Trader Joe’s to come to their city and she is hoping for the same result for Kaysville. She said Kaysville and its surrounding areas meet the desired demographic relative to income levels and size of neighboring communities. Jackson

The Golden Roses all plan on continuing their love of robotics and joining the club next school year. Despite all of them planning on going to different junior high schools, the girls plan to be a part of the same team again.

“We’re all going to do robotics in high school ‘cause we’re all going to Davis High School,” said Ruby. “We won’t forget each other.”

As well as qualifying for the World Championship, The Golden Roses have also won two awards in their local and

has been talking to property owners to do something great in the former Bennion Crafts Building at 354 North Main Street. She said Trader Joe’s has requirements such as utilizing existing commercial space (the company does not build new), 12,000 square feet of parking, and longterm leasing (they do not purchase the properties). Jackson said property owner, Michael Romney, has done research to determine what Trader Joe’s would want and has worked closely with the company broker.

Mayor Tamara Tran and Jackson have been working together on this for some time once they heard the company was searching for a Davis County location. She said the proposed location is centrally located directly off I-15 and Main Street and within a 10-mile radius of larger communities such as Farmington and Layton. It is

state competitions: the Judges Award for their proficiency in interview skills and the Design Award for the design of their robot. Their excitement and love for science and technology go beyond an after-school club. The skills and relationships they’ve built through robotics are valued experiences they will carry with them forever, and they encourage other girls to join STEM fields as well.

“If you like science, do it,” said Emma.

“It’s not just for boys,” said Ruby. l

Teen given new scooter to replace one that was stolen

Bountiful Police Officers Keith and Joubert presented a new scooter from an anonymous donor to a young man whose scooter was stolen from a gas station recently. “We were going to ride it up to the house, but Officer Keith said when he was a kid he would have been excited to put it together himself,” said a BPD Facebook post. “So, we left it boxed. The anonymous donor had one request, and I’m paraphrasing… just let him know not all people are bad.”

Davis captures Region 1 boys soccer title, awaits playoffs

In what has been somewhat of an unusual season for boys soccer, the Davis Darts have come out on top of Region 1.

A prolonged winter with heavy snowfall marred the early part of the campaign, forcing postponements and cancellations. The season was nothing like the 2020 season, which saw an abrupt end after just a few games because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Still, at the beginning of the season, it was hard to fit in games or even practice outdoors.

But the Darts adjusted and now have another region crown to show for it.

Davis finished the regular season at 11-2 overall and 10-2 in league games. Davis finished one game ahead of second-place Fremont. The two teams split during the sea-

son, with each team winning at home. For the Darts, it was their first league title since 2019.

By the second week of May, the Darts were waiting for their RPI ranking to determine their playoff seeding. The Class 6A state tournament was slated to start May 12 with higher-seeded teams getting to play at home. The top eight teams got first-round byes, with Davis likely to be in that group. The second round and quarterfinals were also on higher-seeded teams’ home fields. The semifinals, May 23, and the finals, May 25, are at Zions Bank Stadium in Herriman and America First Field in Sandy, respectively.

Davis has won with a good combination of a solid offense and defense.

The Darts outscored region foes 32-14 in their 12 games. The defense had some struggles early on, allowing four goals at Fremont on April 19 and three goals at Weber on April 12. However, Davis made some adjustments and proved to be tougher on the back end later in the year. After the 4-1 loss at Fremont, the Darts never allowed more than a goal in a game over the final seven contests. In that stretch, the team went undefeated, posted four shutouts and outscored the opposition 20-3.

Jude Walker was the starting goalkeeper, recording four shutouts on the year. He got plenty of help from his defensive mates. The offense was more consistent throughout the season. Davis scored at least two goals in 11 of its 13 games and had at least three

goals eight times. The Darts were only shut out once: 2-0 to Farmington on March 15. Incidentally, Davis got revenge when the two teams met again on April 14 when it shut out the Phoenix 4-0.

Ten different Davis players scored this season. Andrew Donigan and Bjorn Bergant each had six goals during the regular season. Talon Meyer and Noah Jolley each had four. Kyle Livermore, who had three goals, led the team during the regular season with nine assists. Donigan had four assists. The Darts will look to make another deep run in the state tournament. Last season, Davis advanced to the 6A title but fell 1-0 to a surprising Herriman team. l

Intermountain Medical Center named a Top-50 heart hospital for third consecutive year

Intermountain Medical Center ranked as the 10th leading teaching heart hospital in the nation in Fortune’s Top 50 Cardiovascular Hospitals study, which identifies hospitals throughout the country that demonstrate the highest clinical and operational performance in heart and vascular care.

This is the third consecutive year Intermountain Medical Center has earned this recognition. The study found that hospitals ranked in the Top 50 operated at lower cost, had better outcomes, recorded significantly higher inpatient survival rates, had fewer patient complications and experienced lower readmission rates.

“Everyone at Intermountain Medical Center plays a vital role in this recognition and in helping us meet our goal of providing the very best heart and vascular care to save lives and improve the lives of our patients. We’re honored to once again be recognized for the excellent heart care that we provide to our patients,” said Stephen McKellar, MD, chair of the cardiovascular department at Intermountain Medical Center.

Fortune and PINC AI, a national healthcare quality firm, examined more than 900

hospitals in the country that treat a broad range of cardiovascular patients. Hospitals were segmented into three groups: community hospitals, teaching hospitals with cardiovascular residency programs, and teaching hospitals without them. Each hospital was evaluated according to several measures including clinical outcomes, efficiency, and patient experience.

Since 1998, the Top Cardiovascular Hospitals study has drawn upon publicly available data to rank top-performing heart hospitals. The goal is to highlight the best providers, but also to benchmark high-quality care and drive improvement across all systems over time.

“If all hospitals operated at the level of the study’s 50 best performers, there would be 7,600 fewer deaths due to heart disease, 6,700 fewer patients who suffer complications, and more than $1 billion saved each year,” Fortune wrote in an article on rankings.

Intermountain Medical Center was highly rated by Fortune and PINC AI for treatment of heart attacks, heart failure, coronary bypass care, and percutaneous coro-

nary intervention procedures. For more info, visit fortune.com/2023/03/15/50-top-cardiovascular-hospitals-2023-pinc-ai.

“This is a wonderful recognition for our entire Intermountain Health heart and vascular team but the real reward for us is knowing

that we’re making a difference in the lives of our patients,” said Blake Gardner, MD, senior medical director for the heart and vascular program at Intermountain Health. l

Throwing one’s hat in the ring means announcing one’s intention to compete in a contest. In politics, it means running for political office. The phrase originally comes from boxing, where contestants would literally throw their hats into the boxing ring as a signal that they wanted to join the fight. In boxing, the expression dates back at least to the beginning of the 19th century. Here is some information if you are thinking about throwing your hat into the political ring this year.

Municipal Elections are held in odd-numbered years. In 2023, Kaysville City will have three City Council member seats up for election (John Swan Adams, Mike Blackham, and Nate Jackson). All the seats are for four-year terms. The election is non-partisan, meaning a candidate is not nominated by a party. Candidates are at-large and elected by all voters in the city, not just one district or precinct. To view and understand the role and expectation of a City Council member, please visit: www. kaysville.gov/DocumentCenter/View/3618/

Tran said after the May 31 deadline, Trader Joe’s will take the data, conduct a site visit, and make their selection. She said the corporate headquarters review site recommendations twice a year and Kaysville is hoping to know by fall whether they are the lucky winners. Although there are multiple local development and business happenings, Tran said “this type of business can revitalize an older commercial area, open the door to attract additional businesses and restaurants, and just bring new energy and people to the Kaysville community.” She said the community group has done their homework and hopes for an exciting and rewarding outcome.

The city has contracted with Davis County for many years to run their municipal elections. The county has the equipment and resources needed to carry out an election and is willing to make them available to the city in holding its municipal primary and general elections in 2023. “At this time there are not any referendums or initiatives for the ballots, so it is looking like a fairly straightforward election year,” said City Recorder Annemarie Plaizier. If more than six candidates declare, the Primary Election will be held on Aug. 15, 2023. The Municipal General Election will be held on Nov. 7, 2023.

“I will continue to update information about the election on the city website at: www. kaysville.gov/347/Elections.” Plaizier said. Further details about the Declaration of Candidacy process and an information packet will be available on the website or in the Recorder’s Office sometime in May.

Kaysville looks at traffic concerns at Main and Fairfield on Mutton Hollow Road

Kaysville City has been looking at Mutton Hollow Road between Fairfield and Main Street for the last five or six years, including the two intersections mentioned above. As part of this process, during the engineering and design phases, city staff has looked at these intersections to evaluate if there are any modifications that are warranted or if there are traffic/safety issues at either.

Formal engineering analysis for roadways and intersections collects and analyzes data such as: traffic volumes, speeds, number of vehicles making different turning movements (right hand turns, thru, left hand turns), topography, road widths, and pedestrian volumes. Using that data, entities then compare locations with published engineering guidelines and regulations to help determine if changes or modifications are recommended or not.

A circa 2017 study performed by an engineering consultant evaluated those same intersections on Mutton Hollow. The results of that study showed that among the nine categories to evaluate and determine if a traffic signal is warranted, the Main Street intersection did warrant a signal. Fairfield came close on some categories but did not meet enough categories for a signal at that time.

In 2021, when Public Works Director Josh Belnap started working on engineering plans for repaving Mutton Hollow, staff decided to include the two intersections in the scope of that project. They knew Main Street warranted a signal, but as Fairfield had not previously met the requirements for a signal, other alternatives were considered. One reason for exploring an-

By Cindi Mansell | c.mansell@mycityjournals.com

other alternative was partly due to the significant traffic backups that can currently be seen at this 4-way stop, particularly for north bound traffic on Fairfield in afternoon/evenings. At times, these backups can stretch more than 700-1,000 feet to the south.

First, Kaysville looked at a roundabout in this location. It took several months to work on a potential design that was specific for that location, but as they got through the design, the roundabout may have required the purchase of a least one of the homes at the intersection (and a good portion of property of others) to install it. Staff decided to run a signal warrant study here again to see if anything had changed since the previous study; the result of that subsequent study was that a signal was now warranted at that location. “As time goes on, populations grow and with that comes an increase in vehicle and pedestrian traffic,” Belnap said. “That is why not meeting categories at one point does not mean they would not be met later.”

Belnap said individuals have reached out to them throughout this process and indicated disapproval if a signal was installed. “I’ve also had individuals reach out and indicate they would challenge the city if a signal was not installed there.” Engineering decisions are not based on what people like or do not like; if the data and analysis recommend something, then that needs to be done.

Today, Mutton Hollow and Fairfield is a 4-way stop. It is interesting to note that is an intersection with significant traffic backups. Belnap said. “Some think the city is only making changes based on vehicles or caring about

vehicles over everything else; that’s not the case, as it is just one part of what is done when evaluating existing roads and designing new projects.”

The main argument received from opponents is that a signal will not be safe, yet the proponents feel the 4-way stop is not safe.

“There is no road, intersection, traffic, or signal that is free of some amount of risk, but that does not mean everything is inherently unsafe either,” said Belnap.

Currently, city staff are moving forward on plans to install signals at both locations. Belnap recognizes that some people may not like this but his obligation as a professional engineer and responsibility as the Public Works Director is to make sound decisions based on good data to enhance safety in both the present and future quality of community life. l

Water supply outlook better than past three years

The current water situation has improved greatly from last year’s extreme drought measures.

The Weber Basin Water Conservancy District recently held its Annual Customer Agency Meeting. Weber Basin offers wholesale pricing of drinking and irrigation water to a variety of customers across the northern Wasatch front and back. Their customers range from large cities and improvement districts to small irrigation companies and industrial users near the Great Salt Lake.

In Davis County those drinking water customers include Bountiful, Centerville, Clinton, Clearfield, Farmington, Fruit Heights, Kaysville, Layton, Sunset, West Bountiful City, West Point City, Woods Cross, and Syracuse. Secondary water customers include Benchland Water District, Bountiful Irrigation District, Centerville Deuel Creek Irrigation, Davis and Weber Canal Company, Haight’s Creek Irrigation, Kayscreek Irrigation, Kaysville Irrigation and Layton Canal Irrigation.

Assistant General Manager Darren Hess discussed the water supply outlook, stating it is better this year than the past three years with the unbelievable record-setting snowpack. He said there is three times more snowpack than that of last year at this same time and discussed soil moisture and runoff forecasts. Hess said the drought monitor is still moderate and they will reconfigure that after runoff is in reservoirs this spring.

Hess discussed population increases and growth projections, stating conservation efforts are more important than ever. He said SB 89 passed this year in the legislature requires adoption of goals for water conservation, adoption of a water conservation plan, and

By Cindi Mansell | c.mansell@mycityjournals.com

review of rate structures. He discussed secondary water metering and policy, as well as education and incentives (such as the Flipyour-Strip Program).

Hess said over the last year, the district has worked with communities to adopt specific water efficiency standards within their ordinances to offer these types of programs and will continue until April 15, 2024. He said after that, the district has been in conversation with the state regarding additional turf removal incentive programs and utilization of state funding. He said future eligibility programs will include the following strict requirements: no more than 35% of the front and side yard landscaped area in new residential development being lawn; and restricting the placement of lawn in parking strips and in areas with widths of less than eight feet.

Hess said meeting the needs of their customer agencies requires around-the-clock attention from dedicated staff that maintain infrastructure, operate treatment plants, design facilities and plan. This requires “blocks” of water to be developed that are subsequently made available for customer agency use through the execution of water contracts. The District’s recent developed block of water, District III, has now been fully contracted. The District is currently developing its next block, District IV, which is the only water now available for contract. He discussed the District IV Water Program that includes 10,000acre feet of water where each block pays for the infrastructure required to develop and deliver water supply. Hess discussed impact fees and capital charge as being an option for wholesale customer agency that will assess an impact fee on their residents to pay a lower annual rate.

Jou r nals

General Manager Scott Paxman discussed conservation standards, the future of water development and the District Supply and Demand Study update. Help is needed to collect and verify historical demand for supply data and project future demands and identify supply capacity. Weber Basin Water will be sending out a data gathering questionnaire/ workbook to the largest 100 potable and secondary water providers. He also discussed major projects in the works, including: UDOT projects requiring relocation of facilities; Willard Canal lining project; Parallel Aqueduct Project; Weber West Transmission Pipeline; piloting for a new Water Treatment Plant; new culinary water storage tanks; and culinary pumping plants.

Paxman discussed legislation affecting water and said required enforcement is an unfunded mandate being referred to entities who have land use and enforcement authority. He said entities will be penalized for connections not metered after 2030. He said they planned to charge systems beginning April 25 and irrigation start dates would be May 1. Restrictions will remain in place to continue vigilance; including recommended watering once per week in the spring; two-

three times midsummer (depending on heat); two times a week in August and September and then back to one time during October until shutoff.

Paxman thanked those in attendance for their time, energies, and attention to water conservation efforts. He explained this meeting is typically scheduled early in April to give the most up to date and accurate information possible and to have a clearer understanding of this year’s water supply. He said they hoped to enable more extensive incentive programs to the communities and make use of state monies for service areas. He encouraged users to reach out to the district for further information or discussion.

Paxman said the district continues to work toward its mission to conserve and develop water resources to provide for the needs of its customer agencies, use the water resources of the Weber and Ogden drainages responsibly for the greatest benefit to the public, supply high-quality drinking water, and project the watersheds of our source rivers and groundwater supplies. He expressed appreciation for the continued support of the entities involved. l

CERT training can help save lives during a disaster

By Cindi Mansell / c.mansell@mycityjournals.com

Whendisaster strikes, the Kaysville Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) is trained and ready to assist. Members are trained in the event of an emergency, to be prepared in such things as medical operations, disaster psychology, fire safety and utility controls, light search and rescue operations, and they also learn what CERT does if an act of terrorism happens. The CERT team has a goal to train all capable citizens to be CERT certified.

CERT also works with the Fire and Police Departments as a volunteer civilian group to assist as needed, such as helping at the local Fourth of July parade and other events. Classroom time (online) and participation in a MOCK Disaster Drill is required to receive a CERT certificate. The online

training will take approximately 24 hours and participants can complete at their leisure. The book is free but there is a $25 fee to cover the cost of equipment. Class members will receive a backpack, helmet, vest, and other supplies.

All citizens (including teens, adults, private organizations, businesses, and schools) are invited to learn how to become CERT certified or disaster ready by calling Kaysville CERT Director Loretta Cole at 801721-9993 or emailing her at loretta@kaysvillecert.org.

Bountiful Study: Computers Could Help

City officials took a long hard look at progress in future administration and decided that use of computers is the only, at least the best, means of accomplishing day-to-day tasks.

And the council agreed that both word processors and data computers are essential.

Kids yoga classes blend physical movement with education

Summer is a time of sun and adventures for families. This summer, two women, Amy Beenfield and Mandi Lotze, bring their sense of adventure and dedication to learning to the Kaysville Parks and Recreation building. Co-founders of Rooted and Wild Adventure Co. Beenfield and Lotze have designed Yoga and Movement classes for children ages 3-13 years old that go beyond simple health and exercise. Classes are once a week and started May 2 spanning over four weeks, and themed around local wildlife, blending physical movement with education. Another session starts in June.

“We’re using outdoor themed curriculum based on local forest animals,” said Beenfield. “Our yoga flow will be based on, like, the daily life of a rabbit. Each week we’ll learn about a different animal.”

Lifetime lovers of nature and the outdoors, Beenfield and Lotze currently reside in Davis County and are excited to bring their knowledge and passion to the local communities. They started their business, Rooted and Wild Adventures, in 2022 and have since organized various educational adventures for women and children. Beenfield and Lotze have also partnered with Kaysville City to participate in the Woman on the Move program to lead hiking trips.

“Educating and empowering women, and their kids, to get out there is what we’re all about,” said Beenfield.

By Megan Gleason | m.gleason@mycityjournals.com

“Entrepreneurship wasn’t something ever on our radar, but we found something we really love,” said Lotze. “It’s been so fun.”

While the Yoga and Movement classes are four-week curriculums, anyone is welcome to join later at a discounted rate. Classes are separated into age groups and will run through the month of June. The exact dates for each class can be found on the Rooted and Wild Adventures website or the Parks and Recreation website.

The Yoga and Movement classes are just a part of what Beenfield and Lotze have planned for the summer. Rooted and Wild Adventure Co. is an organization that offers guided outdoor activities for women and their children. This can range from snowshoeing and hiking to coordinated trips. They focus on educating women and their children on not only the practicalities of outdoor activities but the environment and local wildlife.

“Sometimes it can seem kind of an exclusive community or intimidating for people who didn’t grow up with that sort of thing,” said Lotze. “This is a bridge for people.”

While the business is still new, Beenfield and Lotze have big plans for the future. They have many other events and classes in the works within Kaysville and surrounding areas. These events will be year-round, focusing on Utah’s many

beautiful and exciting wonders.

“We try and think of things that can be done every season,” said Lotze. “Coming up this summer, we have a full calendar of kayaking, backpacking, yoga, and more.” l

4-H is not just livestock and horses

By Megan Gleason | m.gleason@mycityjournals.com

KAYSVILLE—The Utah House, formally a show house for sustainable living, has expanded as part of the Utah State University (USU) Botanical Gardens extension to house the Davis County 4-H Program within its walls. 4-H is a national program for children and teens focusing on the power of learning by doing. This motto includes various educational opportunities ranging from agriculture to public speaking and leadership skills. The Utah House is the location for many great clubs, such as gardening, horseback riding, mountain biking, shooting sports, and community events happening throughout the year.

“If there’s an interest from a kid, 4-H has something for them,”said Lauren Montgomery, the 4-H Program Coordinator for Davis County. “We do the typical course and livestock programs everyone thinks of in 4-H, but we also do STEM nights and camps. There are clubs for 3D printing, robotics, sewing, and cooking. We have it all.”

The program has also started incorporating Family Nights, where parents are encouraged to participate in activities with their children. These activities vary depending on the month and tend to revolve around relevant topics or to celebrate special events. The next Family Night the program will be hosting is in celebration of May 4, focusing on space-related topics.

“Our main goal is to make them [children] better community members,” Montgomery said.

Following the 4-H pledge, children and teens are encouraged to take active roles within their communities and educate them-

selves about the world around them. This includes leadership opportunities for teens to assist in teaching younger children during club and camp activities and volunteer work. The program often has community service events managed and led entirely by the Teen Council.

“They plan everything; I just keep them within the realm of possibility,” said Montgomery. “We do an overnight trip for the teenagers, which is a way to reward them for their hard work.”

The Teen Council has planned projects such as tying blankets for the needy and sending thank you cards to local first responders.

All the clubs and programs organized by 4-H are funded through grants, donations, or individual fundraisers organized by the clubs. Each club has fundraisers a few times a year, typically organized by the members.

“We’re a non-profit, so everything that comes in goes right back into the community and to the kids,” said Montgomery. “The next fundraiser we have is with the horse club. They’re doing horse rides for the public.”

Many clubs within the program are run entirely by volunteers. These volunteers are typically parents or simply community members who wish to promote the next generation’s learning. Anyone can propose an idea for a new club if there is interest in it and any volunteers willing to oversee it. 4-H assists volunteers with materials and curriculum ideas on their website.

“There’s a strong need for a STEM club,” Montgomery said. “I would love to

have one; it’s just a matter of finding someone to run it. It can be a challenge.”

Beyond the yearlong clubs and events hosted at The Utah House, the 4-H program also offers summer camps. Enrollment for these camps opened on April 1 and is open to anyone interested. This year’s camps include science camps, sustainability, baking, wildlife, and fishing.

“A lot of parents want their kids to continue learning over the summer, and our camps offer that,” said Montgomery. “It’s a busy place here in the summer.”

The Utah House has recently done small

renovations to make the space more compatible with future club events and activities. They also have plans to expand their garden and outdoor area for members of the garden club and outdoor education.

“4-H is for everyone,” said Montgomery. “It’s not just livestock and horses; it’s literally for everyone and everyone in the family. There’s a place for the parents or the kids.” l

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: Where did Victor Garber get his start? Is he still acting?

A: It might not surprise you to learn that the urbane, charming Victor Garber got his start on the stage.

Before he became a hugely respected supporting star on film and TV, thanks to roles such as Jack Bristow on the early ‘00s spy series “Alias” and Ambassador Ken Taylor in “Argo” (2012), he was a theatrical guy in Canada. In fact, he started in

TELEVISION GUIDE

a children’s acting troupe when he was just nine years old.

His first major screen role was actually a translation of one of his first big stage roles: He began playing Jesus in a Toronto production of the popular musical “Godspell” in 1972, alongside fellow Canadian acting greats Eugene Levy (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Andrea Martin (“My Big Fat Greek Wedding,” 2002). That production was filmed and released as a feature film in 1973. It was even nominated for a prestigious Palme d’Or award at the Cannes Film Festival, giving Garber a pretty splashy entrance to the film biz. His career basically followed this dual path afterward, and he’s been moonlighting on stage and screen ever since.

He’s been seen mostly on the small screen lately, with recurring roles on the

space comedy “The Orville” and the Canadian legal comedy “Family Law.”

But his most recent gig also came with a pretty fun side story: He had a small supporting role in the recently released Apple TV+ miniseries “The Last Thing He Told Me,” which reunited him with Jennifer Garner, his on-screen daughter on “Alias.”

Q: What are those ball-shaped items they all wear as necklaces on “Naked and Afraid”?

A: Once you find out, it makes perfect sense. Those little hollow-bead necklaces the contestants wear on “Naked and Afraid” contain microphones. The premise of “Naked and Afraid” is simple: Contestants are essentially cast out in the wilderness and we watch them try to survive without help for 21 days.

But, of course, we have to hear them, too.

In normal circumstances, this task would be accomplished by a little clip mic attached to a collar or lapel. But the “naked” part of the show means the survivalists don’t have such things to attach to.

Indeed, the only thing they have is the one personal item — such as a lighter or a machete — each contestant is allowed to bring with them into the wild, which they carry in a burlap satchel.

But therein hides another production secret: The satchels also hold little transmitters and battery packs that the necklace mics need to work.

Celebrity Profile

Fresh off his success with “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022), Ke

Huy Quan is drumming up plenty of business in Hollywood. Once hailed for his childhood acting chops, Quan is making a name for himself as an adult actor. The Academy Award winner now stars in “American Born Chinese,” making its Disney+ premiere Wednesday, May 24.

Adapted for television by Kelvin Yu (“Master of None”) and based on the 2006 graphic novel of the same name by American cartoonist Gene Luen Yang, “American Born Chinese” is an eight-episode series that follows high-schooler Jin Wang (Ben Wang, “Chang Can Dunk,” 2023), who is struggling to work out the nuances of his Chinese heritage in a predominantly white American neighborhood. When an international student moves to town from Taiwan, Wang is pulled into “a battle with Chinese mythological gods” (per IMDb). “American Born Chinese” costars Poppy Liu (“Hacks”), Jimmy O. Yang (“Love Hard,” 2021), Ronny Chieng (“Crazy Rich Asians,” 2018) and Daniel Wu (“Westworld”), and places Quan back in a cast with his “Everything Everywhere All at Once” co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Stephanie Hsu.

Season 6 concludes with two new episodes of “Young Sheldon” premiering Thursday, May 19, on CBS. Sheldon (Iain Armitage) gets ready for his summer in Germany with Mary (Zoe Perry) while Georgie (Montana Jordan) is surprised by Mandy (Emily Osment) and presented with a spa weekend. Afterwards, the Coopers prepare for a tornado.

Born in Saigon (now known as Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam, Aug. 20, 1971, Ke Huy Quan’s life began in relative turmoil. One of nine children born to his Chinese parents, Quan was separated from his mother and three siblings in 1978 when they fled to Malaysia as he joined his five other siblings and father in a refugee camp in Hong Kong. Reunited with his family in Los Angeles when Quan was nine, the actor still recalls his emigration experience as a “really traumatic” one.

Polish your teapots, iron your doilies and butter your crumpets. For the first time in 70 years, an English monarch will be crowned and the whole world will tune in to see if King Charles III, Prince William and Prince Harry bust each other up at Westminster Abbey.

Whether or not the coronation turns into a fistfight, there will be plenty of spectacle, pomp, circumstance, tradition, snobbery and a reminder that England adores fluffy hats.

King Charles will be 74 on the day of his coronation, code-named Operation Golden Orb (not even kidding). He’s much older than his mother was when she was enthroned. Queen Elizabeth was crowned at the age of 27 and reigned for 156 years.

The coronation is based on traditions going back centuries. In fact, for nearly 1,000 years, the Archbishop of Canterbury has conducted the ceremony. You’d think, at some point, people would start asking how he’s been alive for so long.

There’s even a Coronation Quiche consisting of spinach, broad beans, cheese, tarragon and lard, to celebrate the country’s devotion to bland food. You can get the recipe online and make it for your family as you watch the celebration.

Leaders from around the world will attend the coronation, except some countries who are afraid if they send leaders to the event, England will colonize them while they’re gone. But this is a historical moment you won’t want to miss, especially if the royal family starts throwing the crown jewels at each other.
