VETERANS SERVE TO PROTECT THE FREEDOMS AMERICANS ENJOY

Byline

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

BOUNTIFUL—Veterans Day is a time to remember those who have served or are serving in the military to protect the freedoms Americans enjoy.

Not only do they serve but so do their families back home as they often spend several months or even longer away from them.

“He hasn’t been deployed but he had to have his bags packed just in case,” said Jenna Harker about her husband Jon. “That’s just kind of the game.”

Jon has been in the Army reserves since 2008, she said. “He’s a Medic E-5 and working on becoming an E-6. We got married in 2014 and have a 6-year-old daughter.”

Harker said Jon speaks fluent Spanish so he goes on humanitarian missions to other countries to translate and check on people’s health. “He was in El Salvador for a month or so.”

He was active for almost a year and stationed in El Paso, Texas, said Harker. “It was the longest time we’d been a part. Our daughter is used to it. She knows that dad has two jobs and on the weekend he does drills and flies somewhere for the military.”

“I joined in 2008 mostly because I didn’t like

my job and I needed a change,” said Jon. “I was 24, so a little older. I was smart enough to know what I was getting into. It’s been a wonderful experience.”

There’s always the fear of being deployed and gone for a year, he said. “Or worse, getting killed when you’re married and have a family. It’s hard, your husband or wife gets pulled into it. They go through the stress just as bad as the service member.”

Retired U.S. Army Col. Kathleen H. Switzer has experienced both sides as a military wife and as a service member herself. Two out of her three children are also in the military. “We’re quite a military family,” she said. “I’ve had a conventional private life but my work life has been non conventional.”

There weren’t a lot of opportunities for women in the military year ago, said Switzer. “When I was in high school I had aunts who were in the nursing Continued page 5 Jenna and Jon Harker with their daughter now 6 years old.

Mental health leaders work to end the stigma around mental illness and substance use disorders

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

ary Mendell was devastated when his 25-year-old son took his own life. Brian Mendell had struggled with substance misuse for a decade but hadn’t used drugs or alcohol for more than a year at the time of his death.

But it wasn’t just the struggle of addiction that finally broke him. It was the stigma and shame Brian felt, and the constant feeling of being measured and coming up short.

“The history on his computer showed he woke up that morning and researched suicide notes, he wrote a note of his own, then he took his own life,” Mendell said.

On World Mental Health Day (Oct. 10), Mendell, the founder and CEO of Shatterproof, took part in an unprecedented gathering at Snowbird Ski Resort that included 175 individuals and 135 organizations.

In conjunction with the Huntsman Mental Health Institute, these experts launched a 10year campaign to tackle the issue of shame, stigma and prejudice associated with diseases of the brain, mental health and substance disorders.

The three-day Stop Stigma Together Summit created and amplified non-shaming messaging surrounding mental illness to help the millions of people dealing with these issues and their families.

In the United States, 20% of adults experience mental illness each year. Substance abuse disorder affects more than 20 million Americans over the age of 12. Additionally, 9.5 million adults struggle with both. Stigma often prevents individuals from seeking the help they need.

The goal of the campaign is to transform the treatment system for brain diseases, educate and empower families, and end the shame.

Journals T H E

“Until stigma is eliminated, people with mental illness and substance use disorders and their families will continue to needlessly suffer,” said Kristin Kroeger, chief of programs, policy and partnerships for the American Psychiatric Association. “The movement we launch today unites us all. Together we can do much more than any one person and any one organization alone. Let’s work to change the narrative around mental health.”

Research has demonstrated that mental illness or substance use disorders can be treated, and often cured, but most people don’t get the care they need because of the shame attached to the situation.

Jared Skillings is the chief of professional practice at the American Psychological Association, an organization representing more than 130,000 psychologists across the country. He said the country is in the trenches of a mental health crisis but feels a system of integrated care that incorporates all aspects of a person’s physical, mental and emotional life is the best way to help with recovery.

“During the pandemic and over the last few years there have been a number of ways that we have seen stigma improve and we’re incredibly grateful for that,” Skillings said.

Part of the campaign targets how mental health is discussed in the media. Teaching journalists to do accurate solutions-based reporting can help decrease stigma, leading to common ground public discourse, and potential public policy changes that minimizes discrimination.

Earlier diagnosis will also help the 1 in 3 teens and young adults who struggle with mental illness each year. While symptoms often appear around age 14, most diagnoses aren’t made until 10 years later, or more.

The Stop Stigma Together Summit is the first of its kind to bring together key stakeholders to address stigma, prejudice and shame for those dealing with mental health issues or substance use disorders. Stock photo

“We look forward to every school having a comprehensive approach to mental health, a plan that’s resourced and enables students to know it’s okay to not be okay and to know where to seek help,” said John MacPhee, CEO of the Jed Foundation.

Experts at the event said offering support to families is a way to normalize the situation that so many Americans are facing. By working with community groups, churches, schools and other institutions, families can have a lifeboat when times feel bleak.

Janet Lindow is the executive director

Switzer married a military man and she became a military wife. “For the first 40 years of my life I moved all over the next 40 years I lived in Bountiful.”

She worked as a civilian nurse as her children got older, said Switzer. “I was able to return to the plans I had 15 years earlier.

In 1979 they started opening up for women to serve in the military.”

Switzer went into the nursing Army reserves. “My children were raised,” she said.

“I decided against active duty so I joined the reserves at Fort Douglas. I was deployed to the Persian Gulf from 1990-1991. My husband sent me off just like I sent him off.”

In the meantime, Switzer had finished law school. “I was a dual lawyer and nurse,” she said. “I was stationed in Germany. I was part of the active duty contingency plan for receiving a high level of casualties.

Fortunately there were not nearly as many as what we expected but it became the model with plans in place to accomplish those things.”

It was an intense experience in Germany, said Switzer. “It gave me an appreciation for the kinds of people who serve in the military.”

When Switzer came back she retired

Pete Sarris as a Colonel. “I was the first woman commander of a brigade training medics and LPNs.” Pete Sarris grew up living in Centerville and Bountiful and served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm from 1989-1991.

“I’ve wanted to be a Marine since I was 8 years old,” said Sarris. “So I joined the Marine Corp and was deployed overseas to Asia, Japan, the Philippines, Tokyo and more.”

Sarris said in 1990 when the war broke out he was one of the first ones to go to Saudi Arabia. “It was quite an experience. Preparing for war is just about as big a rush as being in war. We created a lot of diversions for what we were doing.”

When he did get deployed, Sarris was part of the 1-9 Walking Dead. “That was only done in wartime,” he said. “They were some of the craziest people but they were good at what they did. I was good at what

He was also one of the first ones to liberate the Kuwait airport and Kuwait city.

“They were happy to see us.”

Sarris said he came home with some PTSD issues so he’s focused on helping other veterans. “I take vets sailing. We’ve sailed by the Statue of Liberty and done

some pretty crazy stuff. It’s saved my life volunteering my time.”

Jenna Harker said it’s hard to see the divisiveness in the country. “People are against the military but when we’re going to war it’s a whole different story. They say ‘where’s our military?’ They should support them and realize they’re there to help to make our country safe. They join to do good for the country. It’s hard for sure.” l

Breaking the cycle of poverty through allyship

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

A

lthough Utah’s poverty rate is one of the lowest in the nation, thousands of children in the state grow up in intergenerational poverty (IGP). More than 70% of children growing up in IGP are under 10 years old, and women have much higher odds of struggling with poverty than men.

The cycle of IGP begins when a child is born in poverty. This has shown to create disadvantages at school and difficulty developing social skills. As the child grows into a teen and young adult, they struggle to find work and end up raising their own family in poverty. And the cycle continues.

But Circles Salt Lake (2530 S. 500 East) is a community for those in poverty to help break the cycle and give them tools to succeed by creating allyships that support individuals and families as they learn to lift themselves to a new life.

“People living in poverty don’t know the value of social capital,” said Michelle Crawford, Circles Salt Lake executive director. “When someone’s in generational poverty, they were born into poverty, most likely everyone in their circle of influence is also in poverty, they don’t have the lens to get out of it.”

The Salt Lake chapter of the national program started in 2017 with two goals: help

families break the chain of poverty and address barriers that keep people stuck. People who come to the program are called circle leaders because they are leading their families in a better direction. Each circle leader is matched with an ally, a bridge between economic classes.

Participants go through an initial 12week training and are asked to commit to a minimum of 18 months. Once a circle leader has increased their household income to at least 200% of the federal poverty level, Circles holds a big celebration.

“Our focus is to get them completely independent of government services,” Crawford said. “We love Medicaid and Medicare and all they do to help our participants manage their situational poverty, but we don’t want them to stay there. We want them to become independent of those services.”

Circle leaders are asked to attend weekly meetings, make progress toward an economic stability plan and become a leader in their community. Many circle leaders who complete the program come back to be allies to new participants in the program.

An ally’s role is part mentor, cheerleader, friend and bridge builder. Each ally is invited to attend meetings on the first and third Thursday of each month and is asked to be

Page 6 | Nov. 2022

a consistent support for those trying to break the cycle of IGP. “What I’ve learned is that, sadly, many people in poverty are conditioned to think that’s all they’re worth. They grow up being told not to expect a better life,” Crawford said. “An ally can connect their circle leader with people in the community that can help them work toward their dream.”

Living in poverty usually comes with layers of trauma including abuse, domestic violence and mental and emotional damage.

So there's more to breaking the cycle of IGP than an increase in salary. Circle leaders undertake a massive mindset change that allows them to dream big and work toward a better future.

If a circle leader doesn’t graduate in 18 months, they can keep attending, as long as they’re participating. Nationally, the average for graduating from the Circles program is three years.

Not only do circle leaders come back to

be allies, recently one was appointed to the Circles Salt Lake board of directors.

“It was important to us that we weren’t just talking about poverty, that we had someone who could contribute to that conversation,” Crawford said. “Having somebody who’d recently experienced poverty to be able to give us input on the decisions we make was critical.”

For more information about becoming a circle leader or ally, visit CirclesSaltLake. org.

Crawford has big goals for the upcoming year, hoping to get 25-30 circle leaders enrolled in the program. Because each circle leader has two allies, Crawford is looking for 60 people in the community to become allies.

“I would love Utah to set the example of how a program gets participants independent of government services and breaking that cycle of poverty,” said Crawford. l

Spectrum Academy breaks ground on new state-of-the-art facility

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com NORTH SALT LAKE—Spectrum Academy, a charter school serving students on the autism spectrum, broke ground on a new state-of-the-art STARS (Spectrum Transition and Academic Resource School) building in North Salt Lake that is specially designed for higher needs students. The eighth building between the two campuses in North Salt Lake and Pleasant Grove will expand from 80 students to 170 students kindergarten through age 22.

“The new building will have a lot more facilities,” said Brad Nelson, Spectrum Academy Director of Development.

“We’ll have occupational therapists, sensory rooms, speech therapists and applied behavior. All specifically designed for their needs.”

The 30,000 square foot building is like the one at the Pleasant Grove campus that was completed in 2021. “It’s the same type of building as in Pleasant Grove but that one is a little smaller,” said Nelson. “It will be built on the current playing field of the high school on the south east corner. We secured a piece of land long term and we’ll put a new playing field there. It’s directly to the south of the building.”

The new building is projected to be completed by August 2023. “We’re also working on a satellite campus in St. George.”

This facility will allow closer interaction with students that attend in the other building, he said. “That way we’re not constantly transporting students that take some classes there. This brings them all closer together.”

Utah is second in the autism prevalence rate in the nation, Nelson said. “We try to incorporate the educational support tools they need. We have small class sizes of 12-15 students and a teacher and a teacher’s aide in each class. It’s extremely low so teachers can concentrate on the individual students.”

Students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) can get most of their needs taken care of in a semi-typical environment, he said. “There will be more intensive care students in this building.”

Spectrum Academy is a tuition free public charter school, said Nelson. “When it received its charter we could provide education at no cost. “North Salt Lake has a total of 830 students and Pleasant Grove has 720. There is a wait list of 500 students.

This building will help with some of the need.”

The school has gone from 150 students to over 1,600 in both schools in the last nine years, he said. “We’ve seen rapid growth.

We were Utah’s first charter school devoted to these special students and because of the great need here in Utah, we are always pursuing ways to expand and grow our services to meet the high demand.”

North Salt Lake photographers share their talent

By Kerry Angelbuer | k.angelbuer@mycityjournals.com

C

ity Hall was alight on Oct. 19 for a special event honoring those who took and submitted photos representing their city of North Salt Lake. All photos submitted were displayed and guests were able to select a “People’s Choice” award in both the children and adult categories. The last year’s winners were placed on easels for all to see what was hanging in the City Hall from the previous year. Energy was high as many prominent citizens of North Salt Lake and photographers congregated in the council room. The photos were then flashed on the available screens in the room as winners were announced and awarded a gift card.

Children division winners: 1st place: Kayla Child (snowy school bus in front of church) 2nd place: Tressa De Mzee (playground with dramatic shadows and sky) 3rd place: Anna Feistel (sun shot fall trees) Adult division winners: 1st place: Larry Witkowski (moose cooling in golf course lake) 2nd place: Scott Lalliss (fiery sunset) 3rd place: Diane Romrell (canyon sunset) To see the winners, visit city hall during business hours throughout the next year. If you have a good eye and a cell phone or camera and see beauty all around your hometown, you may consider snapping a shot or two and then submitting your best to the contest next year. The photo contest has been going on for three years now and submissions are due in October. The pictures need to be taken in North Salt Lake, but don’t have to follow any certain theme. Beautiful nature

shots dominated this year’s contest, though a striking shot of a playground structure bathed in neon red won the People’s Choice award. The People’s Choice award in the children’s division was a thick, lightning bolt connecting a menacing cloud to a distant mountain.

Braxton Wilhelmson, a talented artist, and commercial photographer, then displayed his amazing photography while sharing important elements of a great photo. Lighting is key.

Taking pictures of people in shadow or with a side light can avoid the problem of dark, shadowed eyes and faces. Using the portrait mode available on many cell phones allows for the blurred background that can emphasize the people in the photos. A more advance camera can reduce the depth of field to achieve this. A good photo does not have large blocks of empty space, so plan to get interests in all areas.

In fact, conceptualizing the shot you want beforehand can be key to success. Always consider your audience. Cell phone filters tend to degrade the original photo. Choosing beautiful subjects that elicit an emotional response could produce the next winner.l

The inaugural Jordan River celebration highlights the work being done to preserve the waterway

F

lowing through the center of the Salt Lake Valley, the 50mile long Jordan River has experienced a revival over the last 10 years. As one of the major tributaries to the Great Salt Lake, the Jordan River has become the focus of conservation and preservation efforts.

The Jordan River Commission will celebrate and recognize people and organizations who have spurred the resurgence of the river at an event on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 4-8 p.m. at the new Zions Bancorporation Technology Center (7860 S. Bingham Junction Blvd.) in Midvale.

“It’s going to be a multifaceted event with tours of the parkway, with art, with music, with dinner and recognition of these special contributors to the work we’re doing to improve the parkway and make it more accessible,” said Soren Simonsen, Jordan River Commission executive director. “We want to open up opportunities for education and arts and expression.”

The inaugural event will feature a tour of the Zions campus and Jordan River Parkway, including a bike ride to the Big Bend Nature Reserve. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes, although some bikes will be available on site. The tour is free and open to the public from 4-5:30 p.m.

Following the tour, a celebration dinner will recognize Jordan River champions who are dedicated to improving, preserving and restoring the river and the parkway. Tickets are $30 and seating is limited. Ticketing information is available on the Jordan River Commission’s social media pages or at JordanRiverCommission.com.

Page 8 | Nov. 2022

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com We’re hoping this will be a magical evening that focuses on the river in a location that’s really beautiful and overlooks the river,” Simonsen said. “It's a brand new facility and is connected to the Jordan River Parkway.”

The new Zions Bancorporation Technology Center promotes biodiversity and provides additional habitat for the river.

Zions has incorporated a bike share program so employees can use the parkway to bike to work. Artwork in the building focuses on the beauty of the area.

During the event, the Center for Documentary Expression and Arts will present photo documentary work created along the Jordan River.

The Jordan River flows through three counties and 16 cities, with each section adding different attractions. Boat launches, nature walks, stormwater treatment and bird sanctuaries have brought attention to the river which connects Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake. Keeping the river healthy is one of the ways to help the Great Salt Lake.

“It’s hard to talk about the Great Salt Lake without talking about its tributaries. Obviously, when you see the really low water levels of the Great Salt Lake and you see the low water levels of some parts of the Jordan River, it’s easy to make the connection,” he said. “We’ve used the focus on the Great Salt Lake to remind people that the Jordan River is part of the solution to what’s ailing the lake. This is a good opportunity to raise awareness about that.”

The event is presented by the Jordan River Commission

and Jordan River Foundation, with support from the Salt Lake County ZAP program and Zions Bank. Next year, it will become part of the month-long Get to the River Festival held in September.

“There’s a lot that’s been accomplished and you can see a lot of momentum around the river right now,” Simonsen said.

“Every city that touches the river is participating in the commission.” l

Managing Grief in the Holidays

By William G. Hoy Holidays in grief can be particularly challenging with familiar and sentimental sights, sounds, and smells reminding us our loved one is not here. Because this period of the year is built around relationships, a death in the family can make these weeks very difficult. But rather than attempt to just “grope our way” through these special days, there are ways to grow personally through the holidays as grief becomes transformative for us.

Saying goodbye to a loved one is anything but easy, especially if well-meaning friends and family members expect you to just “get on with your life.” Allow time and space for grieving and crying this holiday season. Keeping a journal can provide a vital opportunity for reflection during the holidays. These weeks will not be the same as before because of the “empty chair” at the table so the pain is inevitable.

A list of favorite holiday activities might be quite lengthy but make that list anyway. The list might include many holiday traditions such when the house is decorated, when and where worship takes place, and in whose home the family meals are shared. Though it is impossible to do everything “just like when Mom was here,” you can evaluate what you do for the holidays and determine, with your family’s help, which of those traditions you want to preserve.

In evaluating holiday traditions, consider creating something new. Lighting a special candle, purchasing a unique holiday decoration, providing gifts to a needy family, or hosting an international student can become meaningful holiday traditions.

Well-meaning friends or family may want you to attend parties and gatherings, hoping to “cheer you up” but take control of your schedule and do only as much celebrating as you feel ready to do. Choosing which events to participate in acknowledges that grief is a tiring experience. Even under the best of circumstances, holidays can be taxing so attempting to attend every event, party, or celebration may bring about total exhaustion. Instead, say “no” to some well-intentioned invitations.

Simply remind friends, “My energy level hasn’t returned to where it was before he died; thank you for understanding my need to decline.”

Pay close attention to physical well-being, too. Adequate rest, good nutrition, and moderate exercise is essential for the grief process. Lean meats with fresh fruits and vegetables are better choices than sugar- and fat-laden treats. If your health care provider approves, a brisk walk or other moderate exercise can help you feel better physically and emotionally. And eating a healthy diet coupled with moderate exercise is a remedy for insomnia for many mourners.

Be sure to consider the spiritual aspects of life, too. Because holidays have spiritual roots make sure to include time for worship and reflection during this period.

Volunteering to help others or making a memorial contribution is a meaningful way to put feet to faith during the holiday season.

While it is inevitable to face pain at the holidays, following these suggestions can help bereaved individuals and families find transformative growth during this special season of the year.

Choosing to get a flu shot or COVID booster can minimize the risk of illness. The Davis County Health Department is providing in-home COVID and flu vaccines to homebound individuals.

Health Department offering in-home vaccinations for vulnerable adults

M

By Kerry Angelbuer | k.angelbuer@mycityjournals.com

ichelle Francis, of North Salt Lake, was recently vaccinated at home receiving both a flu and COVID booster shot.

Though most people are able to go to their doctor’s office, the local Walgreens, Smith’s Marketplace or vaccination events to receive seasonal vaccinations, Davis County is offering homebound services for those who qualify: 65 or older, unable to drive, immunocompromised, or medically vulnerable.

“Two super nice people came to my home today and I was able to get both my flu and COVID booster shots,” said Francis.

“They told me they wish more people knew about this service because they aren’t very busy, but they know there are a lot who could benefit from it.”

Francis made the personal choice to arm herself for the coming virus season, but what are the benefits of getting these boosters? Everyone needs to look at the risks and benefits for themselves and those around them when making this decision.

Generally, flu vaccinations are thought to prevent millions of illnesses each year. If the vaccine is similar to the circulating flu virus, illness could be reduced by half. Flu illness occurs in 9-40 million people yearly, so that decrease represents avoiding a huge amount of suffering. Since 2010, approximately 12,000 to 52,000 people die of the flu each year.

COVID on the other hand resulted in the largest jump in mortality in the USA in 100 years. While the number of deaths rose by less than 1 percent from 2020-2021, it rose by over 19 percent in the following two years. The COVID vaccination lowered deaths as it was released and allowed the nation to come out of lock down. Since vaccination began, new COVID variants like

Page 10 | Nov. 2022

Delta and Omicron have resulted in surges of deaths highlighting the need for boosters.

A booster is available this fall that will hopefully curtail the virus this winter. Generally, the COVID vaccination protects recipients from serious illness, and also protects people around them. For high-risk individual over 50 who are admitted to the hospital for COVID not being vaccinated can make death 12 times more likely than in vaccinated patients. Each booster enhances protection.

While nearly half a million people died of COVID in 2021, only half that number succumbed the following year in the United States. The positive effect of vaccinations looks good on a graph.

The choice to get a vaccine should be based on personal risk and the risk to those around you. If you are older or often interact with older individuals, the need for vaccination is stronger. If sensitive or reactive to past vaccinations, maybe choosing to mask in public when ill, washing hands often, and avoiding large gatherings may be an alternate personal choice.

The riskiest months for viral infection are December, January, and February possibly due to cold weather forcing people indoors where viruses can transmit easily. Low Vitamin D from lack of Sun exposure can also weaken the immune system during these cold months. If one good thing has come out of the pandemic, it is the knowledge that it is sometimes better to stay at home and use online options to complete work and school when you are ill or many viruses are spreading around your groups.

To set up appointments for in-home vaccinations, call 801-525-5020.

Clearfield is a hidden gem with a big sparkle

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

C

learfield Mayor Mark Shepherd understands it’s not enough to rehab a city, it needs to be recreated. Over the last few years, Clearfield City officials have worked to create a place that attracts vibrant businesses and residents.

It must be working because the city was recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the best places to live for families.

Listed at number six, Clearfield got high reviews for its location, diversity, high school graduation rate and quality medical facilities.

“People have ignored us forever,” Shepherd said. “We were a city that in essence had died. The businesses, the people, everything was going to cities around us.

We were probably the low-income capital of Davis. We just lost our place and it took bringing it back and having people pay attention. We were committed to making some changes and making this a much more inviting place.”

With its proximity to the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake Shoreland Preserve, Clearfield attracts hikers and bird-watchers to its many trails. The city also provides activities for senior residents with classes like art and yoga, and offers many senior living centers.

Clearfield celebrated its centennial birthday this year and leaders created several events to get residents excited about living in the city.

“We challenged our communications department to really do some fun family events, so we started that with our glow party on the bridge,” Shepherd said. “It’s those kinds of activities that we’re trying to bring back to the city and get people involved.”

The glow party was held on the Center Street Bridge, which was closed for the event. Nearly 2,000 participants wore glow sticks and danced until 11 p.m. Additionally, the annual paint the bridge Fourth of July celebration invited the public to paint stars on the bridge, and a back-to-school part on the bridge featured bubble guns and foam that covered the entire bridge.

It’s not just the interactive events that earned the city its ranking. City officials are dedicated to growth with the approval of thousands of housing units, including 200 single-family homes.

“We’ve gone more dense than any other city,” he said. “In the last four years, we have approved, built or entitled 4,000 housing units, which for a city of 35,000 is an enormous bump.”

Student success was a metric used by Fortune and Clearfield High School boasts a 96.3% graduation rate.

“We might not be the sports capital of Davis County, our football team may struggle, but that’s not what they’re there

for. They’re getting a great education and doing wonderful,” Shepherd said. “While we might not have the highest percentage of graduations in the county, although we’re pretty close now, we did have the highest number of students who graduate from high school that went on to finish college.”

Developing a relationship with Hill Air Force Base has benefited both parties as Clearfield is the west gate for the base.

The Falcon Hill Aerospace Research Park,

located in Clearfield, has more than 1 million square feet of commercial development, covering 550 acres.

Shepherd has been dedicated to growth in Clearfield for many years. He is completing his ninth year as mayor but he also served for nine years on the planning commission and six on the city council.

“We get overlooked a lot because we’re an older city,” Shepherd said. “But I really truly believe we have a great place to live.” l

Intermittent fasting has host of benefits

By Kerry Angelbuer | k.angelbuer@mycityjournals.com

U

nlike our ancestors who went long periods of time without food, the modern world is plagued by overabundance of calorie-rich foods available night and day. While a variety of nutrient dense foods has its advantages, a health cost is very clear. Heart disease and cancer, both considered diseases caused by overabundance, have soared to be top killers in developed nations. While no one wants to go back to our ancestor’s lives of feast or famine, it might not hurt to take steps to allow the body the benefits of going without food for periods of time. Research suggests, intentionally fasting can decrease inflammation which according to the Mayo clinic can reduce heart disease, development of tumors, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, asthma, and multiple sclerosis.

Recently, the COVID virus has swept the country leaving in its wake a host of physical and mental casualties.

Those who survived may have lingering memory or attention issues and physical weakness. Intermittent fasting can boost verbal memory and increase physical performance. Hormonal changes occur which can result in slightly increased metabolism along with lowered insulin levels which invites fat burning.

Over time intermittent fasting is as effective as calorie restrictions for sustainable weight loss even slimming that disease-causing belly fat. Many people find intermittent fasting easier to navigate than calorie counting and restriction.

Eating for an eight-hour period each day and allowing the body a recovery period of the remaining 16 hours can be a game changer. Simple, yet effective.

Jessica Gunn, a resident of Wood Cross of gunning4fitness Instagram fame, encourages her clients to use intermit-

tent fasting if it feels good and gives them the results they are looking for. To be successful, she recommends combining the three macros, proteins, fats, and carbs, with every meal.

The proteins and fats make you feel full longer, while carbs can move through your system quickly making you feel hungry a short time later. She is a fan of improving your diet in small obtainable steps. If your current eating window is 12 hours, you may try shortening it an hour a day until it is comfortable to give your body a longer rest from calories. “Changing Habits is the key to long-term fitness,” said Gunn. “No one wants to live constantly trying to eat as little as possible to meet some goal on the scale, so rather change your goals to being able to move and feel your best.”

Gunn especially wants to help women view fitness in a different light. She became a certified personal trainer in 2017 as well as a nutrition coach. Her passion is fueled by her own transformation from “lazy, irritable” mother who was not taking care of herself, to a fit woman who met small fitness goals over a period of time helping her become a more positive influence on those around her. Thousands of followers, worldwide, take advantage of her free workouts and nutritional advice on her Instagram account, gunning4fitness. She also offers more personalized training to interested people.

Intermittent fasting is not for everyone, so consulting a physician may be a good plan for some at-risk individuals.

Recognize that intermittent fasting can become a good fitness goal, but can also be flexible. Life throws complications that might result in a late supper or the need for a late-night snack to fuel after hours of play, work or school. Just let that

District now offers Military Educational Therapists

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—The Davis School District Student & Family Resources Department offers several programs to help connect students and families with the resources they need. They have four fulltime Integrated Educational Therapists (IET) that rove throughout the district working with all the schools to provide services that meet the needs of students without benefits. Through a partnership with the military, they now provide Military Educational Therapists (MET).

“In the spring the military came with a pot of money to have a program,” said Casey Layton, District Director of Responsive Services, Crisis Response Team Secondary Case Management. “It’s for military families whether they have a military background or are serving.”

It’s not just the Purple Star schools, he said. “There are two military family advocates that will be roving through the district to all branches of the military, not just the Air Force. They’ll also work with special education students and those with a 504 or IEP.” The advocates will provide brief therapy stabilization and group therapy for students who have experienced constant moving and are always new to the area, said Layton. “We’ve got a lot of agencies

to help with this. We meet as an organization with school principals, school counselors and counselors from the base to identify the biggest need and how to serve them (students). We might decide the Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC) would be best to meet with and we’ll work with the military liaison to do what’s best for kids.”

The department also works with nonmilitary students and families. “We’ve added family service workers to connect families to resources at the elementary level,” Layton said. “We have provided advocates and personnel staff at the Teen Centers. I’m really excited about what they have to offer. It’s Maslow’s Law, where do you go for clean clothes and a meal?”

IETs make eight to 10 visits and one to two stabilization visits, he said. “We facilitate those and manage their caseload.”

There’s a lot of responsive services out in the community and in the school setting, said Layton. “It’s exciting. The superintendent and school board find funding for these programs. We’ve been working for the last five years to get going in this area. We’ve always wanted to but didn’t have the means. We’re helping a lot of kids.”

Donated dentistry program celebrates 10 years of giving patients back their smile

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com KAYSVILLE—A program that has provided more than $1 million in dental services celebrated 10 years last month of helping those who might not otherwise receive the oral care they need. The Pantry Smiles donated dental program is a partnership between Davis Technical College (DTC), Weber State University (WSU), the Bountiful Community Food Pantry and area dentists and hygienists.

“Both Lorna (Koci) and I were on the board of directors for the food pantry,” said Jim Guinn, a dentist who helped start the program. “We saw people with a terrific need come into the food pantry who didn’t have the resources for it (dentistry). We got some money from the Bountiful Food Pantry and some federal and private grants to do this. We never charge money for anything we do.”

It’s for people whose household income is less than 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, he said. “People who don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid are falling through the hole here.”

It’s all volunteer and it’s pretty much stayed that way, Guinn said. “We do all facets of dentistry except implants.

Specialists prefer that we refer them to their office. We reimburse the doctor for overhead, salary for assistants and materials. The dentists have been very generous in seeing our patients.”

“Pantry Smiles started out with two dental chairs,” said Cathy Turnbow, Pantry Smiles Clinical Director.

“Students didn’t get to practice with only two chairs.

From that it became so busy we went to four chairs and

DavisJournal.com

now we’ve grown to 10 chairs because we utilize it.”

Not only do patients benefit, it’s been a great learning experience for dental students at DTC. “I call it work based learning,” said Cathy Turnbow, Pantry Smiles Clinical Director. “They only train students on manikins so when they go to an office there’s a learning curve so they’re further behind. This gives them the experience of working on real mouths with real saliva.”

It also helps students with community involvement by giving back, she said. “DTC President (Darin) Brush calls it Community Centric Education. Other technical schools have nice facilities but they don’t do dental work on a regular basis.”

WSU hygienists come twice a month, said Turnbow.

“It gives the students a chance to learn about working with a hygienist. The hygienists love working with Pantry Smiles. At school they have to get their own patients.

When they come here there are patients waiting.”

Celise Herlin graduated from the dental assistant program at DTC two years ago and now she is a full-time instructor. “It’s so nice,” said Herlin. “They’ve been using a manikin but it’s helpful to practice their skills on real patients. Our patients are so patient with them. It’s a win, win for everyone. The dental assistants need practice and the patients need dental work.”

Patients come in for an initial treatment plan, she said. “We get to know them and find out their back story.

I have a lot of empathy for them. We get patients from all

over. Meeting people from everywhere is pretty fun.”

The best part of Pantry Smiles is when patients cry out with joy, said Herlin. “We’ve given them their smile back.”l

Davis County Amateur Radio Club going strong after more than 30 years

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

F

or more than 100 years, amateur radio has played a part in the country’s history. Since the first wireless telegraph club formed in 1908 at Columbia University, amateur radio continues to attract new enthusiasts to the unique form of communication.

Larry Claussen is the president of the Davis County Amateur Radio Club which has been around since the early ‘80s.

Back then, the club’s amateur radio operators (also known as “hams”) responded to emergency service situations, helping out when communication systems were down. It’s a role ham radio operators still fill today.

“We’re there to help people communicate when nothing else works,” Claussen said. “When something significant happens, good or bad, the first thing we do is grab our phones to tell people. As great and as wonderful as the cell phone companies have been for getting more connectivity out there, there’s always going to be that critical mass where all of sudden, things don’t work.”

With 200 active members in the club, amateur radio operators assist in several ways throughout the county. Members directed parking lot traffic during the Davis Marching Band competition, helping relay information to participants and spectators. The club also helps with communication during the Bountiful Handcart Parade each July.

Lisa Cook has been with the club for five years. After living in Bountiful for 30 years, Cook now lives in Fruit Heights and serves with the Davis County Amateur Radio Emergency Services group.

“When we had the windstorm, I was sitting in a church

parking lot, helping to request trucks,” Cook said. “During the windstorm that morning, the cell phones weren’t working right. The reliable communication method was radio. Our technology works when nothing else does.”

Cook considers herself one of the babies of the club.

As a math teacher in Davis County, she’s even lobbied to have ham radio operating accepted as part of the school curriculum. She works with beginning operators, getting them comfortable talking on the equipment.

Club members meet on the second Saturday of each month to practice working together and learning the how-tos of the amateur radio community. Knowing when to talk and when to listen, getting familiar with the war wagon where portable equipment is stored, studying for the FCC licensing exam and learning how to send radio grams are just a few topics covered.

“We practice what we’re doing so there’s discipline,” Claussen said. “The amateur radio community is a fairly significant community around the world. We get to know each other and in times of disaster we can act to get messages into the affected area and out of the affected area without using the standard infrastructure.”

Radio grams are popular in the radio community and are similar to old teletype messages. The radio gram bounces from one operator to another until the message gets to the right person, all using only the radio network.

Emergency service training is ongoing so club members can assist law enforcement with communications. By providing equipment, talking regularly with the sheriff’s depart-

ment and encouraging members to get their license, the club is a valuable resource when regular communication systems are down.

“When the time comes, when they need us, a call comes in and we activate the network,” Claussen said.

For more information about the amateur radio club, visit dcarc.net.

“You don’t need equipment to join,” Cook said. “I got involved because I did a testing session. I love knowledge and I love to learn. I think we have to keep learning so I started getting involved.”l

Fifth Teen Center opens at Layton High

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—What started out as one Teen Center at Clearfield High has now grown to five with the latest opening last month at Layton High. Three other centers recently opened at Mountain High, Northridge and Renaissance Academy and a sixth will soon be completed at Woods Cross High.

Teen Resource Centers serve at-risk students, some experiencing homelessness, by providing a quiet place to study, do laundry, shower, eat and meet with counselors who can connect them with the services they need to be successful in school.

The Connection Center at Layton High was built in a repurposed space inside the school so students can access the facility before and after school or as part of their class schedule. The center also has a full community food pantry. Layton High students raised more $60,000 for the center.

“Good people are doing good things,” said School Board Vice President Marie Stevenson at the ribbon cutting ceremony. “Students recognized a need. It’s amazing how they’re looking out for their peers. This center will rewrite the story for many students’ lives.

It provides acceptance and a place to go when the storms of life are too great.”

Stevenson compared it to an experience she had at Bear Lake. “I came to a stream and it was too wide for me to jump across,” she

said. “I noticed a flat rock in the middle of the stream where I could cross by stepping on the stone. I wondered who put that there. I thought about the teen center and how students who have gone before can leave stepping stones so that other students can cross. It will change people’s lives for the better and for the good.”

“The first of the year we went to each business and asked for a donation to get us started,” said student body officer Todd Bowden. “It really brought the school together.

It was an important cause to unify the school.

It gave me a new perspective on this. I put in a lot of money and my friends put in a lot of money. It’s an important part of the school that will change people’s lives.”

Davis Community Learning Center Teen Center Director Jenica Whitworth started as a family advocate at Clearfield High. “It gives them a safe place to come and tell their story to a trusting adult,” she said. “There are family advocates at each center. They have a bachelor’s degree and are trained in trauma informed practices to hear the students’ story and get them the resources they need. They respond to each student and give them individualized services.”

When the Teen Center at Clearfield High opened we had students who were not looking at a post secondary degree, said Whitworth.

“When they came to the teen center they

helped them fill out FAFSA forms and made other resources available. Now some are enrolled at Weber State. It’s an amazing trajectory for them and their families.”

There are 33 students at Layton High who are experiencing homelessness. “Student homelessness is a quiet, but pervasive issue in Davis County,” said Jodi Lunt, executive director of the Davis Education Foundation. “These children lack access to the very basic essentials that we all take for granted. Teen centers help to provide students in need with those essen-

WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS

tials, while maintaining their safety and dignity. More than anything though, they facilitate hope and connect these kids to a caring adult who can help navigate their challenges.”

“These are the kids I think about when I try to sleep at night and sometimes I feel so helpless,” said Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford. “This teen center will help me not feel so helpless. At Davis School District our motto is ‘we make dreams come true.’ Thanks for helping us make our dreams come true.” l

Local woman’s business is all about the fit

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—It may not be a topic most people would talk about in mixed company, but it is something all women deal with – getting a bra that fits. A local woman has made it her mission to help women find what they need so that they are more comfortable and confident.

“If they have a bra that fits, they feel better and their clothes look better,” said Courtney Killpack, owner of Bra Fittings by Courtney. “I stumbled upon the industry. While I was in college at UVU I had a job at Nordstrom’s in the lingerie department. I had a clientele that would come and only see me.”

Most women don’t even know how to fit, she said. “They learn from their moms who learned from their moms. Things have changed in 25 years. There are new brands that are empowering to women.”

Killpack said she quit Nordstrom's after college. “When I started having kids I was at home and got bored. I was trying to find something to do and I loved fitting bras and I was naturally good with educating people. So I set up a shop in my

house in Kaysville five years ago.”

Over the years it’s just continued to grow, she said. “After two and a half years we realized we needed a larger home. There were bras everywhere. In 2020 we moved to Layton.”

Then the pandemic hit and the business had to shut down for six weeks, Killpack said. “It was actually the biggest year for us because all of the department stores had stopped because of COVID.” The company recently won the Intima Award in France. “We won for fan favorite,” said Killpack. “It was for engaging the audience on social media. I went to New York in July to accept the award.”

Killpack’s shop carries a wide range of bras from nursing to prosthetics. “Pretty much anything you need we have it,” she said. “We have all the sizes in the world. Most people don’t carry that many. Most of them I get from Europe. They’re brands you can’t find easily. I want it to be a bra destination where women can come in and find beautiful things.”

Customers make an appoint-

ment online. “There’s a separate entrance into the shop,” said Killpack.

“Either me or one of my fitters will work with them. They’re professionally trained.”

Women should get a new bra every nine to 10 months, she said.

“People lose weight, etc. or the bra wears out.”

Although it might seem intimidating to come in for a bra fitting, Killpack said she tries to make it a good experience. “I have an outgoing, warm personality. We make it a safe, welcoming space. We have fun and comfortable music. There’s a good vibe here.”

At first Killpack said her husband thought it was weird. “But then it turned into a positive experience.

It’s something every woman needs.

It’s taught my kids to work hard and if they have dreams they’re passionate about they can do it.”

Killpack said she never thought she’d be this successful. “I love helping people feel good about themselves.”

Discovery Education offers teachers and students rich science resources

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—Students in the Davis School District will now have access to a suite of science content through the Discovery Education Science Techbook series that was selected by the district for classroom use in grades 7-12. The program provides rich science resources through the use of digital tools that offer teachers a new and exciting way to introduce students to science.

“Every 10 years we have to review our science material,” said DSD Director of Teaching and Learning Belinda Kuck. “The license expired in 2022, so we started looking for new resources for teachers and students a year ago.

We surveyed parents and teachers and had a focus group about what we needed in a new product.”

The district wrote an RFP and had several submissions, she said. “There were two rounds. We went through the first round and chose five vendors to take to round two. The committee wanted to see a demonstration and the Discovery product was the winner.”

It teaches core sciences integrated in seventh to eighth grade curriculum in earth science, biology, chemistry and physics, said Kuck. “We implemented it with teachers in August so that it would be ready to go for teachers and students on the first day of school.”

The core content of science, biology and earth science gives students a deep, robust resource of content knowledge, she said. “They can look at science and engineering practices and apply it and learn what a scientist or engineer does.”

This tool supports teachers in learning the aspects of the three dimensions mission in STEM, said Kuck. “Those are to create wonder, implement a sense of the world around us and strengthen their problem solving muscle.”

It’s hard to always find material to use, she said. “This has lots of examples of scientific phenomena, labs, demonstrations and models to help students make sense of the phenomena.”

It is task and demonstration based, said Kuck. “It’s not just rote memorization. Students gain the skills and knowledge they need to get to the problem.”

The digital product is delivered through the Clever portal, she said. “It is authenticated by our online learning. Teachers and students are assigned a course number that shows this course product goes to this course. Students access it through Canvas.”

It’s been great, said Kuck. “We haven’t had any technical difficulties that weren’t human error. Learning how to use new teacher

The Davis School District has partnered with Discovery Education to provide teachers an exciting new set of tools with which to teach junior high and high school students about science.

resources such as videos, models and demonstrations take some time. Every week it’s increasing. We’re going to get there.”

Implementing new resources takes a lot of work, she said. “But we have rock star teachers. We had a show and tell at training and a teacher at a junior high blew everyone away with what she’d created. It got everyone excited about how they’re using it.”

The experts are the teachers, said Kuck.

“We want to leverage their expertise and

knowledge. The best is when they work together and they share.”

Discovery Education has been great to work with, she said. “They have a fantastic team. It’s truly a partnership. They make sure the needs of students and teachers are being met. That’s the best kind of partnership to have. We feel great about our choice.” l

School board president works to keep students in mind

By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—From NFL referee to school board president, John Robison has pretty much seen it all. He’s been in education for more than 30 years and started as a baseball coach at Woods Cross High and coached at Davis and had an opportunity to become a referee for some supplemental income.

“When I started refereeing I hadn’t considered the NFL,” he said. “I had my sights set on college. Then a friend suggested I apply to be an official in the NFL. I thought ‘what the heck’ and started the process.”

He was a referee in the NFL for 10 years. “Nine out of the 10 were playoff games,” said Robison. “Friday I’d get on a plane, do a game and come home and be back in school Monday morning.”

Robison said they’d meet for three to four hours and watch a lot of film. “Three hours before the game they’d bring out 24 brand new footballs.”

Everyone had security guys right there with them the whole time, he said.

“One time in Chicago the security guard tackled a guy because he was coming after me. I got death threats four or five times.”

Now Robison sits on the Davis School Board of Education. “I retired from the

DavisJournal.com

district in 2014,” he said. “I love education. My wife is an educator and three of my daughters are educators.” Then someone approached him to run for the school board. “I’ve served six years as president,” he said. “It’s a four-year term. I started in 2016 and took the oath in 2017. I was reelected in 2020-2021 and have two years remaining. I’m glad I ran, I’ve loved it.”

The board’s mission by state statute is to establish policy and write and modify policy, said Robison. “We’re charged with making sure policy is followed. We’re over the budget and making sure money is being managed appropriately and responsibly. We’re also over the superintendent and business administration and evaluate them. Day to day they run the district and keep us up to date.”

During public comments at board meetings, the board cannot respond, said Robison. “At the beginning I read the rules they must follow. The board can ask a question of the public but at that time they will not get an answer from me but we’ll get a hold of you.”

A big challenge the board faced was how to return to school after COVID. “We had to make the decision whether to go full day, half day, hybrid or virtual.”

Schools are a place where children are taken care of during the school day, he said. “Schools fill the void of helping parents. A small percentage want us to raise their kids. Some say ‘from 8 to 3 he’s not my kid – he’s yours,’ but that’s very rare.

That’s the reality of society. It fills a void, an important void.”

Social media is also a difficult challenge for the board, said Robison. “One Facebook post and our inbox is filled with the same questions. It’s an issue someone brought to you. You don’t know anything about it, you just saw the post. It loses its value if it’s not impacting a child but was just picked up through Facebook.”

Robison said he answered a thousand emails one weekend over the hybrid schedule. “The vast majority didn’t have the information.”

The pandemic had a huge impact on teachers, he said. “The governor came out, the health department came out and did what they had to do. Third grade teachers taught all day long then at night worked with a child online. We all know how tough the pandemic was for us but that pales to what it was for them.”

Robison said he’s excited about the direction the district is taking. “We’re do-

ing so well. Dr. (Fidel) Montero has the core interest of kids and teachers. We’ve got an amazing superintendent. He became amazing on day one. He’s always thinking of the best interest of the kids. We’re in good shape.” l

November is National Entrepreneurship Month, a time to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that powers Utah’s economy.

Nowhere is entrepreneurship stronger than in Utah’s small businesses, which make up 99% of businesses in Beehive State. Of these small businesses, nearly 98% are very small, with fewer than 20 employees.

Despite their size, small businesses have a big impact on the state’s economy. They employ nearly half of the state’s workforce, and an even larger share of workers in rural communities.

Small businesses drove Utah's economic rebound from the pandemic, which surpassed every state but Idaho. From Feb 2020 to July 2022, Utah had 6.2% employment growth, compared to 0.02% nationally.

This job growth was generated largely by small business. During the first year of the pandemic, small businesses added 29,432 net jobs to the state’s economy.

And from March 2020 and March 2021, small businesses accounted for 6,003 out of 6,589 net new business openings.

Thanks to enterprising small businesses, most industries have added jobs over the last year, with only two of 11 sectors losing jobs. Utah’s 2.1% employment rate remains among the lowest in the nation.

While Utah firms face the same inflationary challenges and supply chain issues as their counterparts in other states, they are uniquely benefiting from strong in-migration. Last year the state saw its highest net migration since 2005, with an influx of

35,000 new residents – roughly the population of Tooele.

Additionally, Utah is outperforming the rest of the nation in bringing people who quit their jobs during the pandemic back into the labor force. The Beehive State’s labor force participation rate is 68.1%, compared to 62.1% nationally.

Utah Jazz and Instructure accepting nominations for top educators

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

N

ominations are now open for the Utah Jazz Most Valuable Educators, presented by Instructure, the Utah-based creator of the Canvas Learning Management System.

The public is invited to nominate local teachers who make an impact at their school, in their community, and who inspire students.

The appreciation program will honor 14 educators throughout the 2022-23 Jazz regular season with the first recipient announced on Friday, Nov. 18 at Vivint Arena (301 S. Temple) during the Jazz home game against the Phoenix Suns.

“The outpouring of nominations last season only reinforced the importance of this program and the community’s desire to publicly thank and recognize our educators,” said Jim Olson, Utah Jazz president.

Each winning educator will receive a $1,000 classroom grant (courtesy of Instructure), a surprise classroom visit or assembly, a personalized Jazz jersey and free tickets to a Jazz game where they will be guests of Instructure.

Students, parents, peer educators, principals or school administrators can nominate the person they consider to be the most valuable K-12 and higher education teachers in Utah. Find the nomination form at utahjazz. com/MVE.

“Our program recognizes teachers that go above and beyond every day to engage our kids’ curiosity and show them just how fun learning can be,” said Steve Daly, CEO of Instructure. “It’s a tough time for educators and it’s more important than ever to recognize all they do and find ways to do more for them. Join me in nominating your favorite teacher and showcasing the amazing work they are doing to help our children feel safe, heard and excited to learn.”

Instructure will also provide 300 tickets for Utah educators to attend the Jazz game on March 18, 2023. Throughout the game, teachers will be recognized for their work in the community and given the opportunity to participate in activities. Fans who attend the game can write their own messages of gratitude for educators.

All 14 honorees of the Most Valuable Educators program will be invited to attend an awards dinner with the Utah Jazz and Instructure at the end of the season.

“We are grateful for Instructure to honor and showcase the hard work of our educators by putting a spotlight on them and acknowledging their tremendous impact on Alison Bulson (right) is honored as one of the Utah Jazz and Instructure's Most Valuable Educators at a our children,” Olson said. l Jazz game during the 2021-22 season.

Barking up the wrong tree

M

y dog Jedi started barking at cars. All the time. I don’t know why but my best guess is she a) hates cars, b) loves cars, c) wants to scare cars or d) she needs a ride to Petsmart to pick up some jerky treats and tennis balls.

I stop her from dragging us both into traffic by creating a distraction, usually with yummy treats. I tell her to look at me, hoping to snag her attention away from the tempting Hondas and Toyotas with their tantalizing and rumbly engines.

Sometimes she continues flinging herself toward cars but once she realizes a treat is coming, in the form of mozzarella or pepperoni, she usually stops barking and waits to be rewarded. Not really rocket surgery, but it works.

Someone suggested Jedi’s barking could be a reaction to stress which is probably true because we’re all as stressed as a Yellowstone bison being approached by human-shaped idiots.

Jedi also feels the urge to run outside at 3 a.m. to bark at neighbor dogs, tree shadows and (probably) aliens. Her woofing seems to be important. It’s like breaking news in the canine world.

I can’t yell at her to be quiet because then we’d both be barking at three in the morning. Plus, she’d translate my yapping as, “You are doing such a good job at howling, Jedi. Please, continue louder. Some neighbors might still be asleep.”

Once the noise levels drop, I check social media where barking has been elevated to an Olympic sport. Viral TikToks catch people in the act of snarling at each other. Twitter feeds show a slow regression back to our caveman roots where everyone spoke in grunts and howls.

Peri Kinder Life and Laughter

Parents bark at teachers and librarians. Drivers bark at each other. Customers bark at grocery store cashiers, and let me tell you, cashiers don’t get paid enough to put up with

that baloney. Restaurant guests bark at the waitstaff, which usually ends with a footprint on your waffle. Y’all bark so much, I think some of you might have rabies.

Dogs bark because they’re excited, hungry, bored, scared, tired, playful and frustrated. The trick is to distract them and teach them a different way to communicate. Humans also need a different way to communicate, because barking isn’t working.

It doesn’t matter if you’re barking in fear or anger or fatigue, your message gets lost in the noise. Every time. Have you ever screamed at someone and thought, “Boy, I really think I got my point across. I feel so heard”? Yeah, me neither.

On the opposite end of the rainbow, my daughter had a teacher who only spoke in a whisper. The kids had to be quiet to hear what she was saying. It was kind of creepy talking to her because she’d forget she was talking to an adult and keep whispering.

Maybe there’s a happy medium between barking and mumbling. I know, let’s call it “civil discourse” where our conversations actually promote understanding and connection. Revolutionary!

Instead of talking to prove your point, can you kindly explain why you hate avocados, without melting into a puddle of sweat? Can you avoid the gnashing and spittle that comes with barking and just talk like a human being?

It might take practice but maybe if we calm down, our families will settle, our communities will rebuild and our civil discourse will improve.

Less barking, more listening. And lots of treats.. l
