After Sgt. Josh Hansen (US Army Retired) was injured by an impro vised explosive device in Iraq in 2007, he was hospitalized for months with brain trauma, and back and neck inju ries.

Physicians in Utah may continue to provide abortions for patients until at least July 11. On Monday, Third District Court Judge Andrew Stone granted a request from Utah’s Planned Parenthood Association for a 14 day TRO. He said he felt allow ing the law to take immediate effect could cause “irreparable harm. Doctors here are threatened with felonies. The affected women are deprived of safe, local medical treat ments to terminate pregnancies.”

The Olympic skiers were guests aboard the planes during a flight demonstration practice run Friday in preparation for the much anticipated Warriors Over the Wasatch Air show Saturday and Sunday at HillAir Force Base. “It was so insane,” said Caldwell when she was back on firm ground. “I didn’t know if I’d keep my food down. I can’t believe these guys do this all the time. It was tense.” “It was crazy,” said Schoenefeld. “It was like an elephant on your chest and your vision goes away for a minute. We were going 4G’s and I thought that was crazy then we went faster and I thought ‘oh gee.’” It was a real treat, said Lt. Col. RyanYingling. “It was unique and fun for us and fun for you guys. It was a blast. We got through everything and went into super sonic airspace and broke the sound barrier.” They started training on the F-16 early this morning, said Jake Impellizzeri, Thunderbird eight. “It was information by firehose. I putAshley through the wringer. We pulled 9G’s and 1.28 Mach. We did loops and rolls and she got some stick time. It was an honor.”What they do in the Olympics showcases a beacon of excellence, he said. “It’s doing something greater than ourselves.That’s what they represent. It's an inspiration to our team that’s what we try to achieve in theAir CaldwellForce.”said she’s trained her whole life to reach the Gold medal standard. “TheAir Force sets a high bar. I give a high performance in skiing and these guys give a high performance in a different way. It’s two different worlds.” An aerial doesn’t get any less scary, said Schoenefeld. “When I do a triple backflip I’m nervous every day. When we took off I thought ‘oh we’re about to go fast.’” It was absolutely incredible, said Caldwell. “My Gold medal went through the speed of sound. This was the highlight of my post Olympic experience. It was a dream come true and now it’s off my bucket list.”It’s hard to describe the indescribable, she said. “It’s like if a dragon and a unicorn had a baby strapped to a rocket ship. I’m so excited to be a part of this and I’m grateful for their service.” l Gold medalists break the sound barrier aboard Thunderbirds

A former high school football coach in Washington who was disciplined for holding a postgame prayer at midfield with his team saw his action protected by a Supreme Court ruling on Monday. By a 6-3 decision, the Court said Bremer ton High School Joseph Kenne dy’s prayers are protected by the Constitution’s guarantees of free speech and religious exercise, and the school board’s discipline of the coach was unwarranted.

She had a remarkable work ethic.” Mom’s goal was to keep the business solvent while she was alive, said Pappas. (Kitty died on July 19.) “Five generations of the same family came through that door.”Kitty was known for her cakes and made up her own recipes. “She never wrote them down,” Pappas said. “She used simple ingredients with no measurements. The recipes evolved over time.”
becky.g@davisjournal.comTherestauranthashadmany of the same customers for decades. Kitty has been the only cook and was famous for her food. Courtesy photos Kitty Pappas and her husband John started the business in 1947.
There was no dishwashing machine in that kitchen, Pappas said. “If we hired a new kid he’d come into the kitchen and say ‘where’s the dishwasher?’ She’d say ‘son, you are the dishwasher.’”
Mom was not only a force at the restaurant but loved adventure too, he said. “She enjoyed bungee jumping and skydiving in her 70s and 80s and always loved to drive very fast!” Pappas said he’s sad to see the restau rant go. “We need a ma and pa business in stead of a stucco building with fake rock. I’d just a soon taste the flavor of some one’s creativity. We’ve had customers for decades. It’s been a grand life.”

Pappas said they had a beautiful rela tionship with the community. “We contrib uted good food and atmosphere. It was a laid back place where working men didn’t need a suit and tie. We had a slew of cus tomers who loved to stop by on a Saturday for a cold beer and a cheese burger.”
THE CITY WOODS CROSS—It’s been 75 years since John and Kitty Pappas opened a restaurant along Hwy 89 in Woods Cross. It was a simpler time when deals were made with a hug and a handshake. Now the diner, well known for its homemade food and friendly atmosphere will be bull dozed over to make way for a parking lot. “Mom and dad got married in 1946,” said Kitty’s son George. “Dad worked for a produce market and was a truck driver. Mom wanted him to stay closer to home and one day he came home and said ‘I got us a Itrestaurant.’”wasanold decrepit place called the Scenic Inn at first, he said. “They operated under that name until they got the money to get a big neon sign.”
Kitty Pappas Steakhouse – a place where everybody knows your name
The restaurant had some unique of ferings like the egg burger, a salami sand wich with or without cheese and an egg, a steak sandwich and of course her famous cake. “We had a group of conference goers who would stop here because their parents and grandparents ate here. Tradition was a strong thing.”
Dad would cook and mom would wait tables, said Pappas. “In 1963 my dad died. She had three kids by then so she grabbed her boot straps and yanked them really hard and took over running the business.” In 70 years there’s only been one cook, he said. “She had the art of cooking five to six different items at different cook times and they’d miraculously be done at the sameOriginallytime.” the name of the restau rant was Johnny Pappas Steakhouse. “The name was changed to Kitty Pappas in the early 80s when my brother John died,” he said. Their living quarters were right on the premises, said Pappas. “If you heard a bump in the night you could grab a shot gun and do a walk through then be back into bed in 10 minutes. I was lucky to grow up in our Pappasworkplace.”saidhismother (me ma) would come home when there was a break and sit in the La-Z-boy recliner. “She’d take cat naps during the day until someone would come and tell her an order had come in.
The customer base has been so won derful, he said. “They were always so quick to help. If it got really busy they’d wash dishes.”

Many veteran programs are only avail able to military personnel who served after 9/11, but Continue Mission is open to vets of any era and service connection including National Guard, reserves and active duty personnel. The program also has numerous women participating, as well as LGBTQ or trans soldiers. Hansen wants the program to be all-encompassing and inclusive.

Many Utahns are trying to recreate land scapes borrowed from more temperate and rainy European climates or even wetter climates in the Eastern United States. These landscapes rely on ample rainfall to keep things green. With drought stalking our state, Utahns need to rethink their outdoor spaces with ideas and flora that fit our dry, desert climate.“Ihelp homeowners spend more time en joying their yard by designing their landscape to require less maintenance,” said Melanie Brooks, Woods Cross landscaper. She recom mends following the designs outlined on the Localscapes website. The designs do include grass, but more as design feature and less as a default landscaping tool stretching from prop erty line to driveway to home. Grass not only takes a lot of water to maintain, but it also takes a lot of effort to maintain. Her goal is to help homeowners spend less time fertilizing, mowing, edging, and weeding and more time relaxing in their outdoor spaces with their families. Taking the trouble out of caring for your outside spaces so that time can be spent living, joyfully in your chosen, low-mainte nanceBeautyareas. does not have to be compro mised, Localscapes can be water-wise and eye-catching. If still in doubt, Melanie rec ommends visiting the Conservation Garden Park in West Jordan to see their lovely botan ical gardens. Conservationgardenpark.org the garden’s website offers classes, free designs, and a databases of over 1,000 Utah friendly plants.
• The first step of a Localscape is open space in the middle which can be grass in the backyard for playing children and something more water-wise in the front like pavers or gravel. Central grass keeps irrigation simpler. Grass is planted in sprinkler-friendly shapes to make keeping the area green with minimal irrigation.•Gathering Areas are designed next in areas around the central open space. Anyone who has ever tried to mow around a trampo line, table or swing set knows how time-sav ing it can be to have a non-irrigated area set aside for playing or eating. No irrigation means saving water, as well as limiting weed ing and maintenance of these areas. Several inches of mulch will keep play areas safe and weed free. Depending on family needs, these areas may include a gazebo, patio, deck, play structure, fire pit, pool or just an outdoor patio for eating.•Paths between the open area in the mid dle and all the other chosen gathering areas can be gravel, mulch, stones, pavement, or pavers. Grass is hard to maintain in narrow areas, other choices are best. Paths invite fam ily and visitors to move to other areas in the yard that otherwise may not be visited.

“Here at home we need to continue mis sion in life and support one another,” he said. “It’s healing for me when I hear success sto ries. There are so many ways we can touch people's lives and not even know it.”
“The majority of veterans dying by suicide aren’t registered with the VA at all. They’re not even getting the help,” Hansen said. “I don’t want to wait until someone is in that dark place. I’d rather stop it before hand. If we can get them out with our pro gram and get their lives back again, and not let the tunnel get too dark, that will be the savingAsgrace.”Hansen and his soldiers cleared bombs in Iraq, he’d say Charlie Mike, which meant they could continue mission.
Depression breeds in isolation, so physical interaction is a big part of Continue Mission.
“When you get this big network of in dividuals you can reach out to when you’re struggling, that can save a life,” Hansen said. “What worked for me might save others. Mother Nature is so healing.”
Continue Mission has grown with more than 3,500 vets participating this year, com pared to 15 vets during the first year, and nearly 200 events. A recent river trip to Moab cost $10K but was offered at no cost to participants.Continue Mission is funded through grants, website donations and a fundraising event organized by Blade HQ in Pleasant Grove. “Running a nonprofit is not easy,” Han sen said. “We usually wing it and hope peo ple find out about us and donate when we can. It’s stressful every year to know if we’re going to survive another year because of funding. But it’s been so rewarding.” According to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Utah is one of the worst states for veteran suicide. Part of Continue Mission’s goal is to get people in touch with the VA to get assistance, mental health coun seling and other support.

• The rest of the yard is planting beds. Choose your favorites of the thousands of low-water plant choices available. These ar eas are watered with drip irrigation so that you spend less time weeding and more time enjoying the perennial flowers you have cho sen to spice up your planting beds. Changing your yard to a Localscape can save about 30-35 percent of the irrigation wa ter used each season. This unused water can help save our dwindling Great Salt Lake.

With WXHS volleyball coach Nicole Hogan stepping down this spring, longtime Woods Cross resident Josey Hilton had a simple thought: “I hope they find a good coach.” Despite Hilton’s background in the sport and having lived in the city for more than 20 years, she was going into her fourth season as the head coach at Brighton and had no plans to leave.
“We had just finished eighth in 5A and I was so invested into bringing the pride of the Bengals back into the volley ball program,” she said, also noting the development league she began there for sixth through eighth graders. “But, the scenario kept bothering me and I ended up having a great in terview and conversation where I literally felt very at home. I decided it was time to give back to the community where my kids went to school and were raised.” Hilton played volleyball at Mountain Crest High “back in the side-out scoring era,” and then was out of the sport for several years before playing in some recreational leagues and being exposed to the idea of coaching. She started coaching club volleyball with the Club V and Hive programs and got into the high school ranks beginning in 2012 when she was an assistant at Hillcrest. Two years later, she went to Cop per Hills where she was part of turning around the Grizzlies program into a prominent program in the state. And then in 2018, she took her first head coaching job at Brighton.
“As coaches, we want to create an environment where our players can be safe and happy and let go of issues which can make such a difference to just one or two players, mak ing it so worth it,” Hilton said. “And in helping them under stand how to manage play on the court, we recognize that in order to be better mistakes need to happen and questions need to be asked.”

NORTH SALT LAKE—Over the past five years, Assistant United States Attorneys Stewart Young and Stephen Nelson’s work with the Utah Gang Initiative increased federal prosecutions of violent gang members in the state of Utah and helped decrease gang crime in Salt Lake County by 32.8%. It is one of the most successful projects undertaken by the U.S. Attorney’s Office. Young and Nelson have also resolved 150-200 state cases for all the county attorney’s offices throughout the state. Both prosecutors recently received the National Association of Former United States Attorneys' (NAFUSA) Exceptional Service Award for their efforts. “This award is given to only 10 federal prosecutors in the entire country,” said Young, who lives in North Salt Lake. “That’s out of about 5,000 or so. Every federal prosecutor does a great job. I’m lucky to be honored. I think it is because of the volume and longevity of theAfterwork.”graduating from Stanford law school, Young worked in San Diego prosecut ing Mexican drug cartels. “My wife is also an attorney and she said she wanted to move back to Utah,” he said. “There happened to be an opening in the U.S. Attorney’s Office and I’ve worked here for 10 years. It’s a wonderful job. It’s fulfilling to serve the public and make the community safer.” There’s a lot of gang activity going on in Salt Lake and Davis Counties – we’re not im mune, said Young. “The Utah Gang Initiative targets violent gang members. We’ve worked with the FBI, the Davis Narcotics Strike Force and other agencies to prosecute 300 to 400 federal cases over the last five years of meth, guns and Mexican drug cartels that have con nections with violent gangs in Utah.”
OCDETF Operation Parental Advisor (FBI and ATF wiretap case in 2018: 17 gang defen dants in five separate indictments, with all but one defendant pleading guilty to sentences up to 13 years, resulting in seizures of 21 pounds of methamphetamine, two pounds of heroin, 10 handguns and two rifles) and several other major cases, according to the nomination letter. When the stats came in, gang violence had dropped 32 percent, based in part because of the Gang Initiative, said Young. “It’s intelli gence based. Agents and police officers build a network of who the players are and who makes the most sense to look at. Our part is to prose cute the case from beginning to end, through arrest to Youngconviction.”saidthey consult with them before they make the arrest. “There are a lot of techni cal things in putting together a case. They will seek warrants from the court and we make sure we’re available to agents 24/7. They might call at 2 in the morning to talk things out. Commu nication is very important.”
Over the last four years, Young and Nel son have conducted five large scale Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OC DETF) gang cases which include OCDETF Operation Peanut Butter & Chocolate (DEA and FBI wiretap case in 2017: 24 gang defen dants, that all pleaded guilty with sentences up to 15 years, that resulted in 41 pounds of methamphetamine and 17 firearms seized.)
The Gang Initiative will continue, he said. “There’s always work to be done.” l

Seminar Topics
Presenter: Marcello Surjopolos Whether you've been doing preparedness for 30 years or just getting started, you'll save 100s of hours of research and learn principles in this class that will change the way you do your food storage! When it comes to emergency preparedness, there are 2 things you NEVER take chanc es on: Food and Water. Everything else, like sanitation, heating, cooling, light, shelter, etc. could be created during an emergency (if need be). But, if you don't have the right foods or clean water ahead of time, you won't find them in the supermarket if things get desperate enough. In this class, you will learn how to do food storage the right way, the first time! Come learn why mylar pouches may not be the best solution for your long-term storage, why many pre-made meals spoil long before their 25-year shelf-life claims, how and where to store your foods, and which foods will preserve long-term and which ones won't (the answers may surprise you).

The prestigious center has a mission to provide intensive, performance-based instruction to upcoming jazz musicians by immersing them in an inspiring mentoring program.
“These musicians were some of the best in their fields, some of the best jazz players,” Carter said. “We’d go warm up and they’d teach us the fundamentals. We played a lot of jazz.”

“I’ve always wanted to play the trum pet for as long as I can remember,” he said. “I’ve had really good teachers. My band director, Mr. Campbell, he’s an amazing jazz trumpet player and I’ve learned a lot from him. And I take private lessons from Tyler Knowlton.”
Campbell’s brother is the program director for the jazz programs at the Birch Creek Music Performance Center and was happy to admit the two young men into the sum mer academy.BirchCreek provides a student-to-fac ulty ratio of 2:1 which allows instructors to spend quality time with each musician. Students are given the opportunity to re fine technical skills and get to perform with professionals every day.
At the academy, the teens played ev ery day with a big band of 20-25 people and then rehearsed with a smaller group of around eight people. Carter said the expe rience was unforgettable and he hopes to take what he’s learned and lift his music to the next“Spendinglevel. time with the professional musicians I learned so much from them,” he said. l

“We’ve also been trying to just get a good look at the incoming players,” Hope said. “We have some positions to fill like a middle blocker and setters. So, it has been good to see what we have coming in and cre ate excitement for this season!”
The Redhawks began the season with a 25-8, 25-16, 25-15 win against West Jordan Aug. 11. Jordyn Harvey led the team with 20 kills and three aces with Taylor Harvey add ing seven kills and four aces. Evalyn Chism ran the offense with 32 assists while also putting away five kills and two aces. Defen sively, Burleson recorded 10 digs while also contributing on offense with five kills. “It was a good first outing for us,” Coach Chism said. “We have a lot to work on and we learned where we need to have our focus for the next few weeks.”
Second-year coach McKay Barker is excited about the season ahead with 17 up perclassmen slated to lead the Darts squad. “It’s been so great getting back into the gym and seeing how our girls have improved over the club season,” she said. “This is a great competitive group who’s ready to face the target that always seems to be on our back and embrace and love it.” Barker said senior libero Cambria White, who transferred from Farmington be fore last year, and sat out varsity play due to transfer rules, will be a key player defensive ly for Davis. “She’ll bring consistency to our back row,” Barker said. Along the front line are returning senior outside hitters Aubrey Nielsen and Brinlee Bush along with junior Loryn Helgesen, se nior Averee Dorius and senior Leah Clark. “Practices have been so positive even though they are also competitive. Everyone is standing out,” Barker said. “We’re excited for the season and ready to go.”
Farmington New head coach Kate Hawkes said that close to 60 girls were at team tryouts which made the selection process difficult, with her staff keeping more than 20 upperclassmen. “Several of the cut players will be acting as team managers, which goes to show that these girls love the sport and want to support each other even if they don’t get a jersey,” she said.With new leadership in the program, Hawkes said her focus was “creating a posi tive atmosphere in the gym,” and she is now looking for her players’ consistent efforts to show throughout the year. “I’d like to see the team show improvement from the beginning of the season to the end,” she said. “It’s one thing to be handed talented athletes, it’s an other to make them better than when they started.”
The Phoenix team began the season at the Brown and Gold (Davis) JV/sophomore tournament where their JV team won bronze with the sophomore squad coming in sixth place. They also played at the Davis Clas sic varsity tournament Aug. 17-18 and faced Stansbury and Morgan and Viewmont in preseason play before Region 1 home-andaway contests against Weber, Davis, Clear field, Syracuse, Layton and Fremont.

“We know that if we can fo cus on having high standards in our culture, processes and practices, then everything else will take care of itself,” said head coach Sar ah Chism, who is in her eighth year with the Redhawks program. Three-year varsity starters Jordyn Har vey and Evalyn Chism return to lead Boun tiful again this year. “They were both key components to last year’s team and have been a big part of our program,” said coach Chism. “We will look to them to be leaders for us both on and off the court.” Chism also noted the return of middle blocker Taylor Harvey, senior Claire Cook and junior Elle Burleson. “Taylor will be a huge impact player for us both offensive ly and defensively. Look to see some big swings and blocks from her, even as just a sophomore,” coach Chism said. “Claire and Elle will both be returning starters as well that will take on different and bigger roles this season.”Othervarsity newcomers this season will be junior middle blocker Macie Johnson along with juniors Kaylee Simon and Hallie Hewlett and freshman Adelaide Stevenson who will be in specialist roles, according to CoachAlsoChism.onthe 2022 BHS team are junior Misha Eberhardt, sophomores Kira Aga mez, Elsie Breinholt-Mitchell, Ellen Davis, Audrey Derrick, Rachel Erickson, Ashley Fitzgibbons, McKenzie Morris, Gabrielle Packer, Abby Orme, Lethe Pututau, Evelyn Smith, Hannah White and Rynn Willard; and freshman Milika Satuala.
“Our approach every year is to prepare like we are playing ourselves,” coach Chism said. “We try to be our best opponent every day in practice and to compete as hard as we can so we know where we need to improve. Our focus will be on playing as a team and utilizing everyone’s individual strengths to become the strongest team we can be. We focus only on what we can control and work to get better every day regardless of the last point, game or season.”
Key returning players in seniors Liza Montalbo and Macey Christian and junior Maddie Lege, along with newcomer Vanessa Haddock, a sophomore, will be looked to by fourth-year head coach Cathy Hope to lead her young team this season.

“Our board took many years to look at the information and viability of the sport,” Oglesby said. “There were a lot of discussions including superintendents, principals of schools and our board members about gym spaces, funding and transportation. We gathered the information and made a decision as we will be having our first state championship in boys volleyball in 2024.” The introduction of a shot clock this year in Utah High School girls and boys basketball has been deemed as a “game-changer” and it will change the way youthful players conduct deci sions when they are on the court. The reason why shot clocks weren’t in use at games last season was because, according to Oglesby, the National Federation of State High School Associations didn’t allow states to use a shot clock in competitions originally. “In state competitions, the NFHS didn’t allow the use of a shot clock before this school year,” Oglesby said. “Moving forward, they have allowed each state to decide whether they want ed to use the shot clock or not in state competi tions. Utah is a basketball state, and after having discussions with principals, superintendents and board members, the decision was made to imple ment the shot clock to raise the competitive level in ourRealignmentstate.” of schools is a topic that is dis cussed frequently within the UHSAA as to where to classify schools from 1A to 6A, depending on the number of students at a school to try to create an equal playing field.

Changing Utah high school sports for the better
By Alec Cipollini | a.cipollini@mycityjournals.com
“Our football programs in Utah have been very competitive and the caliber of talent is out standing,” Oglesby said. “We are nationally rec ognized as one of the best states in cross country due to the elevation and the prolific athletes that high schools produce. The volleyball talent is ex ceptional as well. The fall sports lineup has some of our best student-athletes and there is always just an excitement at the beginning of the year with sports helping with that.”
“I really feel like we have a great group of girls. We have a great group of new freshman and sophomores this year,” Hope said. “I’m excited to see what they can do. It seems like they are a great group of girls both on and off the court.”
“Our goal is always to build and im prove on the past year,” Hope said. “If we have made that happen and helped the girls develop in their skills and love for the game we feel like that is a success.”
MIDVALE—High schools around the state have started their school years and with that the Utah High School Activities Association will be sanctioning new sports and changing rules that will be implemented this season and next. With over 160 schools and 100,000 students under the UHSAA umbrella, the organization plans on another successful year of young stu dent athletes against each other starting this fall. This will be the first school year of compet itive cheerleading starting in late January 2023 in Utah, as well as in the spring of 2024, boys volleyball will be a sanctioned high school sport by theOglesbyUHSAA.said that with boys volleyball in particular, it was a decision by their board mem bers whether or not to sanction the sport, and the process took years to come up with a solution.
“The goal of realignment is to group schools together with relatively the same size as oth ers and put them together into classifications.” Oglesby said. “School population and competi tiveness are the part of the process that is really designed to set up schools into those classifica tions, and giving the schools a chance to win a state Oglesbychampionship.”saidthat Utah has a high caliber of dominance and maintains a high skill level in sports like football, volleyball and cross country. The fall semester every year brings the same ex citement back to high schools and he can’t wait for the season to get started.
JV coach Krysta Hamilton is taking some time off to take care of her young fam ily so Hope added Karl Lippa, who brings 17 years of coaching experience to the program, to replace Hamilton.

It was so popular that they told her it was good enough to sell. She got her first storefront in the 70s and it grew from there. There are currently nine Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream shops in Utah and one of them just opened in Wood Cross. “It was a staple in Ohio and the Penn sylvania areas for quite a few years,” said co-owner Brad Hendrix who owns five shops. “They started franchising out West. There are 100 stores in the country. It’s kind of exploded and it’s growing.”

Handel’s is serving about 400 customers a day and 600 on the weekend, said Hendrix. “We’re selling a lot of ice cream.” The most popular flavors are Oreo dough, a mix of Oreos and chocolate chips, he said. “The gram central station has pie crust in it with a ripple of chocolate and hon eycomb. Also the chocolate peanut brownie. My favorite is the lemon bar. It has lemon ice cream with pie crust in it. I also like a snick erdoodle shake when I leave work but that’s not good for my cholesterol.”
The ice cream is all homemade, he said. “We make it in the store every day. There are 48 flavors that are rotated and 20 of them are staple flavors that we have all the time. Some are rotated seasonally with different creations.”Items like peanut butter are added as the ice cream is dispensed, said Hendrix. “We physically break up Oreos and throw them in. It’s not done off site.”
Kids like the blue monster ice cream, said Hendrix. “It’s vanilla ice cream dyed blue like Cookie Monster with Oreos and Chips Ahoy Customerscookies.”should ask for a sample when they come in, he said. “It gives them a sneak peek of different flavors. One of our popular items is our four scoop samplers. It’s four scoops of different flavors.” People need to try it for themselves, said Hendrix. “When they try Handel’s they’ll taste a deeper, richer fresh flavor. Try it to prove it. It’s made with love – no doubt about it.” Handel’s is located at 2468 S. Main St. in Woods Cross. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m., Saturdays 11 a.m. – 11 p.m. and Sundays from 3 p.m. – 10 p.m.l Handel’s serves up a scoop of goodness
The portions are generous, he said. “Handel’s motto is never skimp. Sizes are hu mongous. There’s always a lot of ice cream. The average small is like a large. If kids get a small they’ll definitely get their fill.” Hendrix tried Handel’s for the first time when he was in southern California and his college buddy told him to try this ice cream shop. “He raved about it,” he said. “The line was literally out the door so my wife and I got in line. We enjoyed our ice cream so when we got back to Utah we reached out to corporate and solicited for a franchise. That was three or four years ago and here we are with five stores.”

Dr. Michael Affleck DENTISTDDS PROSTHODONTISTand OGDEN—With the 2022-23 school year officially starting on Aug. 30, Weber State Uni versity and their athletic programs kicked off the new season of sports this fall with many athletes from the Davis County area compet ing at the NCAA Division I level not far from home.Coming from cities like Woods Cross, Bountiful, Roy, South Weber, Kaysville, Lay ton and Farmington, 28 athletes have either competed already or look forward to suiting up for the first time as a Wildcat this season.
Colter Blanchard (men’s cross country and track and field), Samantha Kearns (women’s soccer) and Cheyenne Leatham (women’s track and field and cross country) are all from Farmington.
Crompton is excited about the upcom ing season and invites members of the Davis County community to come out and enjoy the high-level sports that WSU has to offer.

WSU Director of Athletics Tim Cromp ton said that at the local level, the coaches of each program emphasize the importance of looking at athletes they can bring into the We ber State“Ourfamily.coaches have a great understanding of our local high schools and the talented stu dent athletes attending these schools,” Cromp ton said.Saane Katoa (volleyball), Nuu Sellesin (football), Jacob Stone (men’s track and field) and Lauren Olsen (women’s track and field) originally from Woods Cross, and Bountiful natives Trisha Thompson and Laurie Murphy (women’s track and field and cross country), Xakai Harry and Connor Draper (men’s track and field) and Sicely Ferreira (women’s tennis) all made the switch to WSU. From Layton, Hayden Meacham (foot ball), Preston Wallace (men’s golf), Carson Smith (men’s track and field) and Jaclyn Gold (softball) will represent the purple this year. Kaysville natives at Weber State include Jordan Strate, Brayden Wilson and Alema Tu puola (football), Parker Sagers (men’s track and field), Olivia Tucker (women’s soccer) and Abby Lawrence (women's track and field and cross country).

The Wildcat football program is a sixtime conference championship winner while the volleyball team were back-to-back champs as well before last season.

When talking about the local athletes who are in their junior or senior years of high school and that they have to make a decision if their next step in life is college, Crompton said that Weber State offers a path to succeed in sports and out in the real world once they start their college“It'stenure.atremendous institution, and when I see our local high school students deciding to come to Weber State, I know it will mean that they will have the opportunity to earn a degree and become functioning members of society,” Crompton said. “I believe that this institution provides a path to succeed in athletics at the collegiate level, while also learning important life skills.”Weber State competes in the Big Sky Conference of the NCAA and the school will have football, volleyball, women’s soccer and cross country beginning their fall campaigns in the not-too-distant future.
“Weber State University is a tremendous institution with great leadership, as well as an institution that our local community can be proud of,” Crompton said. “High school stu dents from our surrounding communities are given an opportunity to earn a college degree and participate in a Division I sport at a univer sity that represents the area they have grown up in, what could be better.” l

Four years ago, Smith decided to make the recital a community event, raising mon ey for a worthy cause. This year, proceeds will go to purchase school supplies for kids living at the Safe Harbor Crisis Center. Students range from age 5 to adult and while most play the piano, sometimes oth er instruments are featured. Some teachers even have their students compose original music for the films.

“You can really have fun with it,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be something that’s boring and something the parents are forc ing them to do. We really see the fun side of music and the fun of producing songs that others can enjoy. That’s what continues to drive people to practice and maintain this skill their whole life. I think we’re learning that by being part of the silent film festi val.” l

Silent film celebration teaches the joy of music
“It’s a collaboration between the stu dents and the teachers,” Smith said. “For my students, we decided we were going to play a lot of the music that would have been heard during that time period of the 1920s, so we’re doing a lot of jazz, rag and blues music.”Hamaker played a Scott Joplin piece on the piano for the event. She said the experience allows musicians to practice and collaborate together while providing friends and family with an engaging perfor mance. Students also get to be part of a tra dition that goes back more than 100 years when silent films first hit the big screen.
“They’re learning how to listen,” Smith said. “A lot of times the piano is such a lonely instrument where it’s just them, but having to learn how to play along while ac companying a film is something piano stu dents don’t always get to do.”
M ost performers at Utah's 4th Annual Silent Film Celebration had never heard of Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton. But now they’re experts after their music teachers gave them the assignment to learn a song that would accompany a silent film.
Centerville resident Berkeley Hamak er just graduated from Viewmont High School. She’s been participating in the si lent film event since the beginning.
“When I first heard about it, I loved the concept but I wasn’t able to envision what it would be like,” Hamaker said. “But once we had rehearsals I really understood how the music and the film worked together. It’s something I look forward to every year.”
While Hamaker no longer takes formal lessons, she still looks forward to the silent film recital each year. She admits that learn ing a musical instrument can be frustrating and even monotonous, but it can also pay off in a big way.
At the Megaplex Theatres at Legacy Crossing (1075 W Legacy Crossing Blvd.) in Centerville, more than 200 students and 18 teachers joined forces to present the annual celebration on Aug. 6. The fami ly-friendly recital was the brainchild of Heather Smith, who started the event seven years“Aago.lot of these students, the majority of them, have never even watched a silent film before so we’re introducing them to this new art form they didn’t know exist ed,” Smith said. The celebration featured nine classic silent films that were shown throughout the day. Two pianos were set up so as soon as one performance was over, the second stu dent could start. It kept the music flowing through the short comedies and allowed a huge number of students to participate.

If I was getting hot ter each year, I’d be okay with that, but when our planet gets even a touch warmer, things start to go awry. Our Great Salt Lake is facing some dire global warming effects. With the lake shrinking, Antelope “Island” has to use airquotes. The brine shrimp industry could go the way of the dinosaurs. And the lake is now officially called the Great Salt Lick. Scientists say a toxic dust cloud rising from the dried-up lake bed will prompt a new line of citrus-scented Pledge prod ucts to “Remove deadly arsenic from your home because you didn’t address this problem decades ago, idiot.”

Remember in the ‘70s, when it was discovered that chlorofluorocarbons from aerosol hairsprays were destroying the ozone layer, that thin layer of protection that absorbs radiation so we don’t get mi crowaved by the sun? Everyone used aerosol hairspray to get big hair and sky-high bangs. In fact, Aqua Net was our school mascot. But when we learned the chemicals damaged our atmo sphere, there was a worldwide campaign to ban them -- and it happened. Everyone agreed the ozone was worth protecting and did something about it. Crazy, huh? Where’s that cohesion now? Remember in the spring of 2020, when people actually cared about trying to stop the spread of COVID-19? We isolated in our homes, playing endless games of Uno, Clue and Cards Against Humanity, until getting the disease didn’t seem so bad. Flights were canceled, millions of cars were off the roads, and introverts were having big celebrations. By themselves. In theirDuringclosets. those brief weeks, cities around the world showed an improvement in air and water quality. Even in Utah, the sky was bluer and the air was cleaner. Now we’re back in our cars and the air is trying to kill us. I recently walked through the Room of Extinction and Forewarning at the Utah Museum of Natural History, where dino saur bones are displayed, like the 90-footlong Barosaurus that was all neck and tail, and died 150 million years ago. A trophy wall of triceratops’ skulls stared down at me with hollow eyes and gaping jaws. Gi ant sloths and massive bears wandered this area 12,000 years ago. Of all the species that ever existed on Earth, 99.9 percent are now extinct. We could soon lose mountain gorillas, black rhinos, African forest elephants and orang utans.Here’s the thing, the Earth will be fine. It’s gone through climate cycles for 4.5 billion years. It’s watched civilizations rise and fall, and specialty soda shops fade into extinction. However, humanity is in a spot of “Buttrouble.theclimate is going to change anyway. Why is it our problem?” annoying peopleShutask.up. Yes, climate change happens naturally, but thanks to humans, the pro cess has sped up like a meteor breaking the sound barrier. I don’t want my grandchildren to wor ry about water and food and sharknados. We need to elect leaders who promote green solutions. We need politicians who care less about their pocketbook and more about the planet’s future. I believe in global warming because I’m not a knucklehead. It’s my fear that one day my skeleton will be displayed in a museum as an extinct species, with the sound of Al Gore quietly weeping through the speakers.
