THIRD GRADERS USE THEIR IMAGINATION TO CREATE PUBLISHED BOOKS

NORTH SALT LAKE—Third graders at Foxboro Elementary are talking about the world’s worst kids – not at their school – but through the characters they’ve created as a writing project. The children have been working on developing a book using their own characters who do things they shouldn’t.

It was their teacher, Cole Wilkes, who came up with the idea based on the book “The World’s Worst Children” and he held a red carpet event last week to celebrate the books being published.

“I loved the book myself,” said Wilkes. “At first some kids didn’t like to write but I hoped to engage them so that they’d find a love for writing and want to continue writing after.”

It’s easy to tell a story, he said. “But putting it on paper is more of a challenge. I tell the kids to write like you talk.”

Wilkes has the class watch old cartoons and the opening scenes. “We talk about it like ‘are you scared after dark?’” he said. “We break it down. ‘What do you think is creepy? What sounds were there?’ I have them picture what they're writing.”

The class has been working on the project all year long, he said. “I have them build their character and work on a hook and then make a video.”

They describe the story in the video, said Wilkes. “Their pretend character has to write an apology in third person with dialogue a third grader would write. I want them to know the story and fall in love with their own character. We copy the character (in the book) but then they’re making it their own.”

The red carpet event included popcorn and soda for guests who came to watch the kids’ videos describing their book. “It’s the culmination of what they’ve been working on,” he said. “They get to run their own show and take photos like they’re the paparazzi. It makes them feel important and really celebrates their accomplishments. They’re published writers in their own right.”

“My book is ‘Bad Frankie,’” said third grader Diane Jorbon. “He is bad to his neighbor and breaks school and the country’s rules. He’s a bad kid. His parents tell him not to jump in the lake. It (sign) says no jumping or swimming so he went into the lake and got in trouble.”

“‘Scary Mary’ is about a girl who likes to scare people,” said Paisley Soto. “She likes to prank them. She goes into the bathroom and scares them.”

Everleigh Phadund’s book is “Tantrum Tammy.” “She likes to throw tantrums so nobody really likes her because she throws tantrums,” said Phadund. “This has been really fun. I worked really hard and I would like to write books when I grow up.”

The books are sent off to be published by a company that does student books, said Wilkes. “The kids do the book and edit each other’s story. They design the cover and draw a

picture of their character then we ship it off.”

Wilkes invites the lower grades to the red carpet event too. “They get the idea that it’s fun and second graders see that they’ll get to do that,” he said. “We hope it gets them excited to come to third grade.”

At first the kids didn't really like deadlines, said Wilkes. “But by the end they’re so happy. To see them fall in love with the character they wrote is the greatest thing.”.l

GIRLS

Davis Davis lost to Syracuse 13-9 May 2.

The Darts were down three at halftime and couldn’t close the gap.

“It’s always frustrating when I see our team backsliding,” said head coach Makenzie Hekking. “We had really sloppy play and we were plagued by turnovers. While I truly do believe my girls are more skilled than Syracuse, I have to give it to Syracuse for coming out and playing good team defense. We also really struggled to get the draws so that further limited our possessions. All in all, it’s a good rivalry and just didn’t go our way that day.”

Olivia Lifferth scored two goals and recorded two assists to lead the team with Kerri Norton (two goals), Mackenzie Coleman (one goal), Esther Facer (one goal), Kaydence Johnson (one goal) and Tallulah Raser (one goal) also scoring in the loss.

Against Roy May 4, the Darts bounced back with a 12-3 win.

“We played much better this time around against Roy than we did a few weeks back,” said Hekking. “We still had too many turnovers and sloppy ball handling than I’d care to see.”

Raser led the team with three goals as well as Facer (two goals), Gracie Rose (two goals), Lifferth (one goal, one assist), Coleman (one goal), Kerri Norton (one goal), Sydney Plummer (one goal), Brinlee Wilding (one goal), Johnson (one assist) and Andrea Nichols (one assist) also providing offense.

Davis also beat Skyridge May 6, getting out to a 7-4 halftime lead and holding on for the win.

“It was a really good game for us,” Hekking said. “Our offense really did well this game, particularly in the first half, and worked as a team. Our ride and redefend in the midfield really seemed to give them fits in the first half and we were able to come away with a lot of caused turnovers and that meant more possession for us. We kind of stalled out in the second half and they outscored us, but we had enough that we were able to pull away. Our defense did OK and our goalie came up with clutch saves when we needed her most. All in all it was a great team win.”

Johnson’s three goals and one assist along with Facer’s four goals led the team while Lifferth (one goal, one assist), Coleman (one goal), Norton (one goal), Raser (one goal) and Wilding (one goal) also contributed offensively in the win.

The Darts are now 8-4 in Region 1 play and 9-5 this season.

Bountiful is now 5-2 in Region 5 play and 7-6 on the year.

Viewmont

Viewmont lost to Woods Cross 15-8 May 1.

This is one of those losses that had so many little moments of excellence throughout the entirety of the game that we were able to look at it from a winning and learning point of view,” said head coach Lauren Pescetti. “To be able to have the number one team in the region only up 6-5 at halftime is something to be proud of. Woods Cross is a good team, the best team we have faced all year. I think their depth of experience is what led to them being able to pull away with it in the second half.”

Keely Banks’ three goals led the Vikings while Alexis Lee (two goals), Avery Drake (one goal), Eliza Runolfson (one goal), Cecelia Walton (one goal) and Rachel Lee (one assist) were also part of the offense in the loss.

“This was the best lacrosse my girls have played all season and we are looking forward to getting the opportunity to play them again in the near future.”

Against Northridge May 2, Viewmont won 18-6.

“It was a great game,” Pescetti said. “Our offense really showed that they are playing as a unit scoring a season high number of goals. Our defense was great and we kept our defensive fouls to a minimum which is always good to see as a coach. This was one of my favorite games this year as I got to coach against Northridge coach James Larsen who is also one of my assistant coaches for my club team, Utah Hive. It always makes for a fun game when you are playing with lacrosse ‘family’.”

Banks netted six goals and recorded one assist to lead the team along with Walton (four goals, one assist), Runolfson (three goals, two assists), Drake (two goals, one assist), Rachel Lee (two goals, one assist) and Alexis Lee (one goal).

In a 7-5 win over Box Elder May 4, the Vikings broke a 3-3 halftime score with four second-half goals.

Alexis Lee’s three scores led Viewmont with Drake (one goal, one assist), Banks (one goal) and Rachel Lee (one assist) also helping the offense in the win.

The Vikings evened up their Region 5 record and are now 9-5 this year.

Woods Cross Woods Cross beat Viewmont 15-8 May 1.

Ella Matthews scored six goals in the win with Skylar Midgley (three goals), Maggie Preece (three goals), Ella Holland (two goals) and Sadie Allred (one goal, one assist) also putting in offense for the Vikings.

Against Box Elder May 2, Viewmont lost 7-5. The teams were tied 2-all at halftime, but the Vikings gave up five second-half goals in the loss.

Midgley had three goals with Allred adding the other two and Rachel Sims assisted on a goal.

In the 12-2 win over Bountiful May 4, the Wildcats put in six goals in each half in the win.

Woods Cross is now 7-1 in Region 5 and 9-4 this season. l

Woods Cross Elementary teacher makes learning fun

By Kerry Angelbuer | k.angelbuer@mycityjournals.com

In the office at Wood Cross Elementary a small group gathered with balloons and a sign to surprise a great teacher, Jack Paget, who won at the region level and was recently named the Utah PTA Outstanding Elementary Educator. “It made me want to cry when I read the nomination and saw all the great pictures of him with the kids,” said Mara Hammer, the Region 3 Associate Director of the PTA.

“It is a big deal for our little elementary school to be recognized in this way,” said Julie Checketts, the local PTA treasurer who nominated Paget.

Paget has been a teacher at Woods Cross Elementary for more than 20 years and recently worked as the support teacher for the local PTA chapter. “He has always been very welcoming and kind…and is always in full support of our sometimes-crazy ideas,” Checketts said.

She said he is the first to volunteer and gets the rest of the staff on board, because of the caring and respectful relationships he has with his colleagues. The kids love Mr. P. Once for crazy hair day, he jumped in and assisted overwhelmed PTA volunteers in spray painting hair. He helped organize lines and then painted hair to the kid’s specifications completing all comers before school. Similarly, he helped in the Holiday Shopping Fundraiser helping kids learn to budget and pick gifts for their family members. “He stopped by to check on us and saw we were drowning,” said Checketts. “He gave up his lunch hour and stayed and helped every student wrap their gifts. He was so excited to see what they had picked for their families. The kids were so proud as they left with all their purchases wrapped and ready to place under the tree. The gifts even had ribbons on them.”

Checketts said he loves the kids and the kids love him back and so he is im-

pressive at coming up with ways to motivate his students to reach their goals, so he has been dunked hundreds of times. He also participates in other field day activities with the kids. He has dressed as a fairy princess, worn crazy socks and sported crazy hair. “Mr. Paget is a legend,” she said. “His support doesn’t end when students leave his classroom.”

At a wedding recently, Checketts said she asked if Paget was a relative and the mother said, “No, he was my daughter’s second grade teacher and made a huge impact on her. We have stayed in touch with him ever since.” He has also attended soccer games, dance recitals, community plays and other important life events. He remembers his students and the kids know he is in their corner cheering them on.” l

Water supply outlook better than past three years

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

Hess said over the last year, the dis -

trict 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-theclock 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.

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.

Gardening can be challenging with low water, deer and heat

By Kerry Angelbuer

As residents of Davis County contemplate what to do with their lawn and gardens this year after a couple years of low water, extreme heat and plenty of deer, Debbie West offers good, local-oriented advice. She has worked at the Rockin’ E Country Store in Bountiful for many years and has a lot of practical experience under her belt.

Many people may want to improve their grass which may have thinned or died during the drought. She recommends a turf seed blend that includes turf-type fescue, rye and Kentucky blue grass which will offer a “nice lawn that does not require too much water.” This blend was created by the University of Utah to be a “duraturf.” The turf-type fescue does not grow like the fescue weed that often infests grasses, but has a more pleasing look. It is a clump grass that doesn’t spread like the Kentucky blue grass and only needs to be watered once a week. West said artificial turf, looks good but is really hot. Though not as hot as concrete or stone, the artificial turf can be hot enough to cause burns so watering before playing on it might be needed.

Although watering requirements may not be as strict this year, due to ample snowfall, West suggests that supplementing soil around the yard can improve plant’s ability to survive no matter what comes. She is a fan of vermiculite, heated brown rock that “expands to hold water and keeps the soil for compacting.” Humic acid has similar benefits especially for the lawn. Compost, aged organic material, or mulch, not-aged organic material can be used to improve soil and its ability to maintain water. Both are available

for purchase at the Bountiful landfill for much less than local stores. West also likes coconut coir which is sold in compacted bricks that expand to 1 cubic foot or mulch.

“Laying the coir over the lawn can help it maintain moisture,” she said.

West also recommends rain barrels for harvesting the snowmelt and rain in yards.

“Since 2010, residents are allowed to collect up to 100 gallons of water in barrels and if you apply for a free water permit, you can

collect up to 2,500 gallons,” she said. Most barrels are placed near a waterspout to collect water from the roof. The water passes through the atmosphere and collects nitrogen, an important chemical for plant growth.

As far as what to plant, West has a lot of ideas for drought tolerant plants. Grapes, for example, “hate water” and she recommends the Interlaken or nimrod variety. “Tomatoes and peppers only need to be watered two times a week if you water them down to six inches,” she said. Melons, winter squash, mustard greens, carrots and beets also do fine with low water.

West said that nectarines and peaches are heavy drinkers and suggests a good pear tree instead. Drought resistant flowers include geraniums, gazania, moss rose, ageratum, and zinnias. She also recommends perennials that come back every year like arabis, blue flax and cone flowers. Deer resistant plants include ornamental grasses and herbs like mint, thyme, basil and cilantro. An eight-foot fence will also deter deer.

Putting down contractor-grade shade cloth on plant beds is also helpful, said West. She cuts an X in the cloth and adds the plant and then places the cloth right up to the base of the plant to keep weeds down. This cloth is then covered with about four inches of mulch for aesthetics. This keeps moisture in the soil by blocking the heat of the sun from evaporating surface moisture. Mulch should be larger pieces like medium bark to avoid blowing away in strong winds. l

healthy cyber habits to practice in 2023

As we develop new habits for 2023, it’s important to analyze old patterns to determine where we can improve. In addition to physical, financial and social resolutions, taking charge of cyber habits can create online protection.

According to Comcast’s Xfinity Cyber Health Report, 78% of Americans engage in risky online behaviors, leaving them vulnerable to cyber threats. Many share or reuse passwords and ignore software updates, giving criminals opportunities to hack information.

“Just as it’s important to care for our physical health, it’s important for us to maintain our cyber health,” said Kevin Taylor, Comcast cybersecurity fellow. “As we see in the Comcast Cyber Health report, cyber criminals are busy trying to access consumers’ information and networks. A good cyber health plan includes good passwords, multi-factor authentication, and caution when clicking links and visiting websites.”

Simple practices can protect you, your family and business from potential scams and security breaches.

1. Beef up your passwords. According to the report, 56% of Americans reuse passwords across platforms. Also, 18% used preset passwords for a new device instead of creating one during setup. While having a few password variations makes it easier to log in to accounts, it leaves you open to network and device breaches.

Use strong, unique passwords. Avoid using generic passwords and don’t use passwords that include personal information that hackers can guess by searching social media. For example, don’t include your name, pet’s name, birth date, favorite sports team or the city where you were born in your passwords.

The strongest passwords are long and use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters. Passphrases (passwords made up of phrases or sentences) enhance password security. Change passwords regularly so compromised credentials are useless to scammers.

2. Use multi-factor authentication. Many accounts and devices use multi-factor authentication, requiring you to confirm your identity using two or three different factors. Typically, MFA will ask you something you know (a challenge question), something you have (a time-sensitive code sent to your phone or email) or something physical (fingerprint or facial recognition). Enabling MFA adds a layer of protection that makes it harder for bad actors to invade your digital life.

3. Keep your devices up to date. Do you dread the “system update required” message? It seems to come at the worst possible time, like during a work assignment, helping kids with online schoolwork or paying bills.

Jou r nals

Don’t ignore these notifications. Firmware and system updates often include new security features that are essential for device and network security. An easy way to protect devices is to enable the auto-update setting. By allowing devices to update automatically, you can always have the latest security updates and firmware running.

4. Review your connected devices. On average, Xfinity households have 15 connected devices, with power users averaging as many as 35. Often, someone bought a new device, connected it to the home network and neglected to disconnect the old ones. However, just because you’re not using older devices doesn’t mean there isn’t a security threat.

To secure your home network and accounts, take inventory of all your devices. Use your internet provider’s apps and tools to check which devices are currently connected in your home. Find the devices you no longer use and erase personal information before recycling.

5. Read up on phishing. Get

educated on common phishing tactics to protect yourself from scams. According to the Xfinity report, only 39% of respondents said they could confidently explain what phishing is. Not understanding phishing means it’s unlikely you can protect your household. Many cybercriminals impersonate a friend, family member or organization, like banks or schools, to get you to divulge sensitive information.

Phishing emails can be convincing, but telltale signs of phishing include spelling errors in the subject line or email body, suspicious links or attachments, tones of misplaced urgency, unfamiliar senders or slightly misspelled company names in the sender’s email address. If you have doubts, reach out to the family, friend or organization the email is from to inquire about its legitimacy.

Using these five tips will safeguard your devices and digital information in 2023 and beyond.l

Xeriscape doesn’t have to be ‘zero scape’

With record-breaking snowpack flowing rapidly off the mountain filling up reservoirs and natural aquifers across the state, many may think it is the perfect year to forget about water conservation. David Rice, of the Weber Basin Water Conservancy District, insists that it has never been more important to continue striving to be more water wise in individual landscaping. In a seminar offered at the Centerville Library, Rice cautioned that we will “continue to get dry years along with wetter years and conservation in our desert environment will always be part of meeting the demands of our growing population.” He showed aerial photos of many of the shrinking lakes nearby highlighting empty lakebeds at Echo reservoir, boat docks far from the water in Pineview and even an old dam in East Canyon that has not been seen since the large dam had been built in front of it several decades ago.

Currently, Utah has a population of 3.6 million, and if population growth continues at current pace, that number could grow to 6 million by 2060. Meeting the need of nearly double the number of people will involve infrastructure improvements tapping into different water supplies and conservation throughout the state. “Low-water-use doesn’t mean sand dunes, dried up sage brush, an old wagon wheel with a cow skull, or a typical desert scene,” Rice said. “Xeriscape is not ‘Zero Scape.’ Water-wise and xeriscape are used synonymously, but they don’t imply that it can’t be lush and green.”

Grass even has a place in a yard in central areas providing a soft playable surface that is very resilient. Keep in mind, Rice cautions, that grass takes nearly twice the water to maintain as almost any other kind of landscape so should be lim-

Missionary dies in tragic accident in Clearfield

Amissionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was involved in a tragic accident Sunday night in Clearfield. According to Sam Penrod, spokesperson for the church, “Elder Isaac Heninger, 19, of Searsville, New Brunswick, Canada, suffered a traumatic head injury and passed away in a Salt Lake City hospital in the early morning hours of May 8, 2023. Elder Heninger and his companions were walking to an appointment and along the way stopped to visit with a group of young men who had electric scooters. At some point, he attempted to jump over one of the scooters, which resulted in a head injury. Elder Heninger began his missionary service in December 2022 and was serving in the Utah Layton Mission. We express our deepest condolences to Elder Heninger’s family and friends as they mourn his passing. We pray for all those who are impacted by this tragedy. May they feel the Savior’s love during this difficult time.” l

ited to usable area. He recommends the “localscape” method of planning the yard which involves specifying areas that fit familial needs such as: outdoor living, playgrounds, a putting green, a trampoline surrounded by untrimmed meadow grass, a playground surrounded by impact-lessening mulch or play sand, a stone chessboard with opposing benches and grass. All these areas are connected by paths and the remaining area becomes plant area covered in shade trees, fruit trees, shrubs, and flowers. He notes that less mowing can be replaced by spending 10 minutes a day in the yard deadheading flowers, pulling some weeds and enjoying the outdoor space.

Rice divides paths into two types, primary paths that will need to be kept clear in the winter and secondary paths that connect less-used areas. Smooth mortared rock and concrete are best for primary paths, while large flagstones and gravel are attractive options for the rest. Side yards are usually not big enough to justify grass, so he recommends paths in these areas surrounded by mulched plants. Rice showed slides of attractive low-water landscapes, many of which are located in the demonstration gardens at the Weber Basin Offices in Layton. Gardening classes at the site started in April. The gardens are meant to be explored and contain a variety of plants all labeled to make imitation possible.

When water is scarce, priority for water use goes first to life sustaining drinking water within the house, then agriculture and industrial/manufacturing use and then maintaining stream flow in recreation/wildlife areas. Of lowest priority is maintaining personal landscapes. Utahns love their yards but without careful planning, the state will be back to rationing water. l

Utah’s new social media laws raise constitutional concerns

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

WhenUtah’s new social media laws go into effect in March 2024, the state’s residents will face restrictions when trying to access social media platforms. This will be particularly problematic for children under 18.

The Social Media Regulation Act requires age verification for all social media users in the state, and minors will need parental permission to have an account on platforms like TikTok, Instagram and Facebook.

Responding to research about the use of social media and the correlation with increased rates of suicide, depression and selfharm in teens, the Utah legislature passed two laws it hopes will help improve mental health for the the state’s youth. Gov. Spencer Cox appeared on NBC’s “Meet the Press” in March to talk about the unprecedented legislation.

“This is about empowering families, it’s about empowering parents and it’s about holding these social media companies accountable for what we know now,” he said. “We know this is killing our kids. We have to start there.”

But while proponents of the new laws praise the state’s stand on social media, the legislation faces extreme backlash from first amendment groups and constitutional scholars, concerned the laws violate freedom of speech.

Michelle Quist, an attorney with the Utah firm Holland & Hart, is a legal issues expert. She said the laws raise a lot of constitutional questions. With teens using sites to express themselves, to communicate with others and to find support when facing issues like sexual orientation, parental abuse or gender identity, the legislation can effectively cut off those avenues of connection.

“You have constitutional rights and they don’t start at age 18,” Quist said. “Case law has always protected their rights.”

Most people think of TikTok and Instagram as the platforms targeted by the new laws, but it will affect any app that has more than 5 million users. That includes platforms like AllTrails, Canva, Spotify and LinkedIn. Every Utah resident will have to prove they are over 18 to use the sites.

“It’s all-encompassing. We don’t under-

stand how far it will go,” Quist said. “We’ll protect the privacy of our youth by collecting information for every Utah resident using these platforms.”

The legislation also includes a curfew.

Between 10:30 p.m. and 6:30 a.m., children under 18 will not be able to access sites, including messaging apps. Quist said this could be problematic for students who have early morning classes or practices, or for teens who work later than 10:30 p.m. since parents communicate with their children through apps that won’t be accessible.

Parents will also be able to access a child’s account, including all messaging, which raises a concern for privacy issues. Allowing access to parents who are emotionally or physically abusive could have dire consequences.

“Legislation doesn’t start until March 2024 and [legislators] are working out all the problems this year,” Quist said. “I don’t know how to work it out other than to change it.”

Utah might be the first state to impose restrictions on social media, but it won’t be the

last. Some states are considering bans for minors under 16 and Texas is considering a law that would not allow anyone under 18 to have social media accounts.

Cox wants social media companies to be held accountable. The new laws don’t allow advertising directed toward minors and prohibits companies from creating addictive programs and designs. It also provides an avenue to seek legal action against social media companies.

He understands there are issues that need to be addressed with the legislation but is optimistic moving forward.

“All the law that is in question here around the first amendment really was established in the late ‘90s, early 2000s, before social media even existed,” Cox said. “We feel very confident that we have a good case here. We expect there will be lawsuits and we feel confident we’re going to prevail.” l

Local facilitators of Fulfill Life Yourself want to help the community

For Tina Martinez and Amy Turner, finding the Fulfill Life Yourself program was a literal answer to their prayers. They had both struggled with issues like anxiety, OCD and depression and had tried counseling, medication, energy therapy and coaching, but nothing had worked.

They said when they were introduced to F.L.Y., their lives changed.

“Because of anxiety and depression, I wasn’t myself. I wasn’t truly happy inside. I began to feel resentment toward those who were truly happy,” Turner said. “One day, it was literally gone. I have a ton more peace inside, I’m more confident and my self-worth is higher. I’m finding joy with who I am.”

At the invitation of Martinez and Turner, F.L.Y. founder LaMonte Wilcox and his daughter/cofounder McKelle Wilcox Kiser spoke at Morgan High School on April 17 and in Farmington, April 29, explaining the neuro auto associate programming method to attendees.

Wilcox created the program as a way to help his wife. She battled depression and spent hours in bed every day, overwhelmed by life. A religious leader suggested that Wilcox look into neuroplasticity techniques that actually change the structure of the brain to help people heal.

“Because [the program] helped me and Amy so much, we wanted to hold an event to share it with the community,”

Martinez said. “For me, with OCD, the model teaches you to go in and see what’s creating that in yourself. I learned to be able to move forward out of having OCD tendencies. So it’s helped me to live in a free state.”

Martinez said the program helped her get past her OCD and the rituals she had to do every day to get through her life. She knew the OCD was holding her back from becoming her true self, but felt powerless to do anything about it.

She became emotional when talking about F.L.Y. “Since 1995 I’ve had constant rituals, so for me it was huge to move forward. It was rewarding to be able to not feel the constant need of doing a ritual to live life every single day.”

Turner came across F.L.Y. about a year ago and believes divine guidance led her to the program. She said it’s helped her overcome a minor shopping addiction along with the anxiety and depressions she’s dealt with throughout her life.

Both women have become F.L.Y. facilitators, helping their clients regain control of their lives. For more information, visit FulfillLifeYourself.com.

“It’s about retraining the brain. You’re disconnecting the trauma. When you go through the trauma it makes a disconnect in the brain and this reconnects it,” Turner said. “You’re getting clear on who you are and why you do what you do, and what your beliefs are. It’s teaching you how to become your true self and live the life you want.”

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

Here are a few pointers for blended families found in Christine Fletcher’s Article “Estate Planning Tips for Blended Families” printed in Forbes Magazine: • Simple wills, or merely keeping your property separate is not adequate.

Consider a trust that lets your new spouse stay in your home until death or remarriage, with the balance passing to your children.

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

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

To widen the cement road that passes through this county from Salt Lake to Ogden, from 16 to 22 feet is the present aim of the state road commission and of engineers of the United States bureau of public roads; and plans were submitted to our county commissioners yesterday to make a beginning on the four-mile section between Layton and Clearfield. The county commissioners, it is expected, will give an answer today. The problem was raised by the rapid disintegration of the present 16 foot pavement laid in 1915 or 1916.

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.

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.

Young Sheldon 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.

Then the Archbishop (who HAS to be a vampire, I mean come on!) places the five-pound crown on the king’s head. Saint Edwards Crown has a solid gold frame and is bedazzled with rubies, amethysts, sapphires and other jewels, making the

crown worth more than my entire lifetime income.

Everyone yells, “God save the king!” and trumpets blare and, Bob’s your uncle, England has a new king.

Then the fun starts. Concerts will feature new musical pieces commissioned by the king himself, including an anthem written by Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I can only hope it’s performed by the cast of “Cats.” A refugee choir and an LGBTQ+ ensemble will perform, because we all know how much the royal family loves diversity.

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.
