MUSIC CAMP GIVES KIDS EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME

EGG HARBOR, WI—Students from Woods Cross and Farmington High Schools had the opportunity to hone their music skills at the Birch Creek Music Performance Center in Door County, Wisconsin at a two-week academy held at the beginning of August.

“I’ve been to the camp many times,” said Wood Cross Band Director Todd Campbell. “My brother runs the camp. It’s the coolest place. It’s a farm and they have concerts in a barn.”

Four students attended, Patrick Law, Maddie Adams and Ryan Gessell from Woods Cross and Henry Findley from Farmington High.

“Kids have to audition to be in it,” Campbell said. “You have to send in a video recording and if you play well enough you are selected.”

It started with a couple who owned the farm and said “we should do a music camp,” he said. “They had the house and barn and it grew into what it is. There’s a rehearsal space and dorms where the facility and students can stay. There’s limited cell service and it’s beautiful up there.”

The kids come back really inspired, said Campbell. “Most of the kids there are from the upper midwest and they get to know all the other students. There were seven kids from Utah.”

It was kind of in the middle of nowhere, said Patrick Law. “It was super fun. We played eight hours a day and got to learn from professionals. We played eight concerts in two weeks.”

Law said he started out playing the clarinet in seventh grade then made the switch to alto saxophone that same year. “Music has been a big part of my family for as long as I can remember. My mom and dad met in an orchestra at Utah State. My grandpa is the one who convinced me to play saxophone.”

When he first got his music, Law said it was pretty intense playing it. “We arrived on Sunday and had our first rehearsal that night and a concert on Thursday. We were in small

groups and played in what used to be a granary.”

There was really pretty scenery out there too, he said. “It’s flat and not too hot – different than here.”

Student to faculty ratio is approximately 2:1, allowing for personal attention from top music educators and performers.

“All the mentors were super nice,” said Law. “They were like playing wizards.”

The camp was amazing, said Woods Cross senior Ryan Gessell. “It revitalized my love for jazz. Specifically it gave me a glimpse of what it would be like to be a professional musician.”

There were a lot of rehearsals, he said. “We’d have three days to prepare a tune. It was rapid fire but gave me an idea of what the environment would be like as a professional, gigging and touring as a pianist.”

Gessell started doing jazz in the ninth grade, he said. “I did regular piano before that.”

The cool part (of the camp) is there isn’t a lot of cell service, Gessell said. “I had to use the office phone to call my mom. It forced me to surround myself with music 24/7. It was all I thought about. It helped motivate me to keep practicing.”

It was fun to be with musicians that were

about the same age, he said. “We’d record solos and they’d notice things that I was doing that they weren’t doing. You could be working by yourself and hear someone else echoing what you’re doing and spontaneously start a jam session.”

There’s something different about playing with other musicians, said Gessell. “It’s really special.”

Gessell plans to continue playing after high school. “I’d betray myself if I didn’t do music. That’s definitely what I’m going to do.” l

GET TO THE RIVER WITH NORTH SALT LAKE’S JORDAN RIVER PADDLE

Ahuge interstate bridge above with drivers oblivious to the hundreds of swallow nests below are viewed by boaters on the Jordan River. Red-tailed hawks, American Kestrels and yellow-headed blackbirds can be spotted, followed by pelicans and Ibis as you near the Great Salt Lake. Paddlers share the natural space with fisherman, bikers on the Jordan River Trail and off-road vehicles taking a jump at the nearby OHV park. All are invited to experience the 10th annual Get to the River Festival – North Salt Lake Jordan River Paddle on Sept. 16 at 8:30 a.m. Free kayaks for the three-mile river trip and shuttles to return boaters to their cars will be available.

“We had 75 boaters last year and we have always had plenty of boats for comers,” Ali Avery, North Salt Lake Long Range Planner said. “One year we did two runs to accommodate the participants. It gets bigger every year.”

Participants can also bring their own kayak, canoe or paddle board and take advantage of the free shuttle to retrieve their vehicle. This unique experience begins at the Riverview

Boat Ramp in Salt Lake City at 1835 North Redwood Road and ends at Porter’s Landing

Boat Takeout in North Salt Lake at 50 South Jordan River Drive. A food truck will be avail-

able for breakfast following the early morning paddle.

North Salt Lake City joins the Jordan River Commission in sponsoring the event. North

Salt Lake is the only city in Davis County with access to the river. Named for the Jordan River in the Holy Land that also connects a freshwater lake to a salty lake, Utah’s Jordan River has been getting a facelift over the decades. The Jordan River Commission has worked on water quality by installing a trash boom, trimming trees, removing bridges in poor repair and other hazards that used to block boaters. Volunteers regularly float the river providing cleanup and route maintenance. In 2017, Porter’s Landing was completed offering the first boat ramp along the North Salt Lake river front. It was named for long-time City Councilman, Stan Porter, who champions the river in North Salt Lake and is the longest-standing Jordan River Commission council member. In 2021, the Jordan River Bike Trail added a trail that connects to Porter’s Landing making it easier to use a bike to retrieve a car left upriver. Life-saving devices are required at the event making it safe for families. l

1923

Funeral for Layton handcart pioneer

Funeral services were held in the Layton ward chapel, Wednesday, for Hyrum Evans, handcart pioneer of 1855, who passed away at his home in Layton, Monday night of ailments incident to old age.

Mr. Evans was born in Wales, January 19, 1851, the son of Thomas and Ann Johns Evans – He emigrated to America in 1855 and crossed the plains in the Edward Bunker handcart company. He made one trip across the plains for emigrants and was called to St. George to assist in building the temple there, where he hauled rock from the canyons for the building.

Get ready for school

Approximately 20,000,000 children, ranging from near-graduates to kindergarteners, will converge on our streets and highways this September, all approaching central points. Through the summer they have been scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land; now they are to be mobilized, crossing our city thoroughfares or country lanes in long lines going to school or coming home.

It is the solemn duty of every motorist to see to it that these youngsters have a safe passage. By following a few simple rules, we can help cut down the toll of 3,400 children killed and 152,550 injured in 1932. Every motorist should remember to approach a school zone with care; to slow down at all intersections; to watch his speed on curves in the country.

Auxiliary unit installs Bountiful officer

Mrs. W.F. Rohwer of Bountiful was installed president of the auxiliary unit of the American Legion George R. Day post at Bountiful, Thursday in special ceremonies at the Legion home, it was announced by Mrs. Margaret Handy, retiring president.

Mrs. Grace Anderson of Farmington, district president, was the installing officer. A number of district officials were present.

Mrs. Handy who has been named new publicity chairman for her unit, reported that public dances each Saturday night will be held at the Legion home, to accommodate many dancers who have requested that this be done.

1953 Your social security

When did you last pay the premium on your life insurance or the mortgage installment on your home? We bet that either by receipt or canceled check you made mighty sure you got an acknowledgment of your payment. Today over 62 million Americans pay premiums for the insurance protec-

tion provided by the Social Security Act. Yet, many of them never take the trouble to learn whether they have received full credit for all the money they have paid into this insurance system.

South Davis Explorers attend

Provo conference

Explorer Scouts and their leaders from Bountiful and Centerville participated in the first annual International Explorer Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at Brigham Young University, Provo, Aug. 23-28. More than 3,500 boys of high school age attended the conference. During the week the youths received instruction in citizenship, physical and personal fitness, and exploring. They also took part in group discussions on a wide range of world issues and held their own talent show. Most of the sessions were held in the huge field house on the BYU campus where the explorers heard talks by LDS Church leaders and nationally prominent persons.

1973

Davis hospitals under attack Davis County’s proposed hospital construction plans have come under attack this week, but county officials say the persons making the charges “don’t have all the true facts.”

Charges that Davis County was “over-building” in the hospital program stemmed from a report by State Rep. Loren N. Pace (R – Salt Lake). Rep. Pace suggested that the proposed hospitals not be built until the “empty bed situation in existing hospitals is clarified.” He said he was “concerned about adding 149 beds in south Davis county and building a 125-bed hospital in north Davis county.”

1983

Word to the wise: ‘Don’t vandalize Davis schools’ FARMINGTON—The word’s getting out – it’s not so easy to vandalize Davis School District buildings, these days. That’s one kind of patronage the district doesn’t seek, and thanks to an ongoing program that’s adding more and more schools, vandalism is on the decline even as the district opens more buildings, says Asst. Supt. John S. White.

“The feeling of our personnel is that this (new) monitoring system is beginning to make a difference,” he has told the board of education, illustrating its effectiveness by relating an instance where someone entered an elementary school late at night, using a key, went to the photo-copying machine, then to the supply room, and back to the copying machine.

SDMF crews respond to fires in Bountiful, Centerville

South Davis Metro Fire crews were called out to two different fires this week, one in Bountiful on Sunday and another in Centerville on Wednesday. No injuries were reported in either incident. Sunday’s fire was in a four unit condo complex. The cause of the fire is believed to be a barbecue malfunction. The fire went up the side of the house and into the eaves and roof. It collapsed onto the living/dinning room. Crews were able to save the rest of the condo and the other units.

Crews responded to a residential fire in Centerville Wednesday just before 1:30 p.m. at 600 S. 300 East. No one was home at the time. The fire was mostly inside the home and firefighters had to cut a hole in the roof to let the heat and gasses out, said SDMF Deputy Fire Chief Greg Stewart. The blaze was under control about an hour later but crews were on the scene to watch for hotspots. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Centerville CERT training set for Sept. 5

Heavy traffic delays expected this weekend

The Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) encourages drivers to plan ahead for heavy traffic along the Wasatch Front this weekend due to the Labor Day holiday. Traffic engineers expect travel times to be impacted on Northbound I-15 in Davis County of up to 10 minutes on Friday, September 1, from 1 p.m – 7 p.m.

Compiled by Becky Ginos

Across the state, most UDOT projects will suspend construction and open all lanes to traffic to help reduce delays during Labor Day weekend (Friday through Monday). In some work zones, these restrictions will continue through the weekend where needed to ensure safety or accommodate ongoing construction, according to UDOT.

Drivers should plan for construction conditions including traffic restrictions, reduced speeds, uneven pavement, and narrow or shifting lanes. In Farmington, lanes are shifted on I-15 between Parrish Lane in Centerville and 200 West in Farmington for construction of the new bridges that will connect I-15 to the future West Davis Highway. Construction on this project is scheduled for completion in 2024.

DCSO K-9s celebrated on International Dog Day

The Davis County Sheriff’s Office gave a shout out to their favorite “Fab Four” in celebration of International Dog Day, Aug. 26. “Zeke, Loki, Chaos and Rolf might be the cutest members of the Sheriff’s Office, but that’s not what earns them their tennis balls and treats,” a DCSO post said. “Every day these K9 officers and their handlers give their all to Davis County and we’re grateful for all of their hard work. We hope you all get some extra treats and scratches today.”

Keep Walking and Live On

The Davis County Health Department is hosting an eight-week walking program for all residents in Davis County that starts on Sept. 4. “Grab a couple friends, your dog, or your kids to Keep Walking and Live On!” the DCHD Facebook post said.

We have come out with many lessons learned and a list of improvements to make while highlighting some excellent, positive surprises.” l

All-state runner back to lead WXHS

By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

Woods Cross High junior Katie Hansen is back after an All-State showing at last year’s 5A state championships to lead the girls squad. The boys, who finished sixth at state, return most of their lineup, led by senior Brady Christensen – who was 14th at state last fall – along with fellow seniors Brennon Koldewyn, Ian Thompson and Micah Gillespie.

Head coach Zach Hansen, in his 21st year with WXHS, said junior Kiara DeVries is one to “look out for” this year on the girls side as well as senior Beau Thompson on the boys team, who “has made a lot of progress this offseason.”

After a summer of training focusing on consistency and translating that to race-day, the Wildcats ran at the Premier Invitational Aug. 12 at the Cottonwood Complex. Christensen won the 5A boys race in a time of 15:17, four seconds ahead of Alta’s Cooper Walbeck. Also running for the second-place Woods Cross team were Koldewyn (third place), Ian Thompson (sixth), Gillespie (seventh), Beau Thompson (16th), senior Rees Christensen (22nd) and senior Jameson Blanchard (27th). Katie Hansen came in first in the 5A girls event, crossing the finish line in 18:37, eight seconds faster than Wasatch’s Kate Giles. Junior Kendell Rhees placed 17th, sophomore Angie Payan 23rd and sophomore Abby Marx (25th).

Also on the WXHS team this year are seniors Ethan Carter, Aaron Chan, Eli Crowther, Connor Duke, Camille Dunn, Grayson Ence, Noah Heap, Will Hunter, Kera Keeler, Daniel Olsen, Elliya Parrish, Lydia Ponder, Morgan Ray and Caleb Robinson; juniors Erin Clark, Kate Hansen, Daniel Lavin, Torey Mortensen, Tyler Noall, Skyler Pace, Sam Phippen, Sam Porter, Sam Poulton, Niki Symkoviak, Ryan Wiberg and Ben Wirthlin; sophomores Kyler Anderson, Adam Bott, Blake Chandler, Jarrett Coleman, Ben Gessel, Henry Hyde, Cameron Keddington, Everett McClellan, Simon Miller, Nolan Nielsen and Zach Tucker; and freshmen Caroline Christian, Reese Dunn, Gwen Gillespie, Madeline Marx, Isabel Priest and Andy Roberts.

At the Region 5 Pre-Region race Aug. 22, the boys team came in second place at the Region 5 Pre-Region race led by Thompson who finished ninth in a time of 16:17. Other top-25 showings were Brady Christensen (11th), Micah Gillespie (13th) and Koldewyn (18th). Hansen placed fourth with a time of 20:00 to help the girls squad take sixth as a

Jou r nals

team.

At the Beetdigger Invitational Aug. 26, Christensen won the varsity boys race, leading Woods Cross to a second-place finish as a team. Koldewyn (third) and Ian Thompson were also top-10. On the girls side, Hansen came in second and DeVries was 10th for the fifth-place varsity squad.

For the JV boys, who finished second, Olsen’s third-place led the way with Pace (fifth) and Noall (seventh) also earning top10 placements. Dunn’s ninth-place finish led the JV girls team.

Phippen won the boys freshman/soph-

omore race with Hyde just behind and McClellan was ninth to also place top-10. For the girls, Gwen Gillespie and Christian were second and fourth, respectively.

Woods Cross is also scheduled to race at the Timpanogos Invitational Sept. 1, the Murray Invite (Murray City Park) Sept. 8, the Pre-State Meet (Regional Athletic Complex) Sept. 13, the Bob Firman Invitational Sept. 23, the Davis County Meet (Layton Commons Park) Oct. 4 and Divisionals (Lakeside Park) Oct. 10. The 5A state championship will be held Oct. 24 at the Regional Athletic Complex. l

Enjoy exercise, fun, food and good conversation at local Senior Centers

By Kerry Angelbuer | k.angelbuer@mycityjournals.com

An excellent service that is often overlooked is the variety of free fitness classes and other resources found at the three senior centers across Davis County: The South Davis Senior Center in Bountiful (next to the library on 100 East), The North Davis Senior Center in Clearfield (42 South State), and a third location in Kaysville (81 East Center St.). The centers offer fitness classes, recreational opportunities, free meals at home or in a group setting, and in-home health services for seniors. Fitness classes are designed for seniors 60 years old and up. Only evidence-based fitness classes with certified teachers are offered that are designed to reduce arthritis, prevent falls, and increase mobility and fitness.

Bingocize

This exercise class developed at Western Kentucky University combines simple exercises and health information with playing bingo. Prizes for playing bingo are also health related like a pedometer or reusable water bottle. Exercises can be done sitting or standing. Offered in Kaysville, Monday and Thursday at 12:15 p.m., Clearfield Tuesday at 12:10 p.m., Wednesday at 10 a.m. The South Davis Senior Center (801-451-3660) also offer a variety of classes.

Enhancedfitness

This class, developed in Washington, involves aerobics and strength training for maximum benefit. The 20 minute aerobics can be adjusted for all levels and the weights can be placed on ankles or just held in the hands. “Classes help seniors bring out their best and build on what they have,” said Debbie Draper with Senior Services. Draper noted that one senior who had difficulty

standing without assistance was able to meet this goal after just a couple weeks of classes. Local doctors recommend these research-proven classes. Offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at the Senior Centers.

Arthritis Foundation Exercise Program (AFEP)

AFEP is a low-impact chair aerobic class that helps improve balance and reduce fall risk. It is typically offered for 8-10 weeks and then participants can graduate and hopefully do the mobility-saving exercises on their own.

Tai Chi for Arthritis and Fall Prevention

Slow-motion martial arts type moves is offered in 16 week classes that provides low-impact exercise. Currently offered in Kaysville on Monday and Wednesday at 9 a.m., Bountiful on Wednesday and Thursday at 11 a.m., and Clearfield on Tuesday and Thursday at 10:15 a.m.

Meals on Wheels or a community lunch

Senior Services currently offers 380 Davis County residents a meal along with a well check daily. All the Senior Centers also offer a community lunch served from 11:30-11:45 a.m. where a healthy meal comes with good conversation. Forty seniors currently take advantage of this program.

In-home services

Caring for seniors who are not particularly mobile can be challenging for caregivers. The senior centers offer free or income-based services to give respite for caregivers and can include housekeeping, meals and health services. “This is a good program that is often not utilized and fills an important gap in Medicare covered care,” Draper said.

Woods Cross Planning Commission gives update for rail station area

By Braden Nelsen | braden.n@mycityjournals.com

In a world that champions the freedom of expression and the power of knowledge, it is disheartening to witness the recent rise of book banning in school libraries. A space traditionally dedicated to fostering intellectual curiosity and encouraging diverse perspectives is increasingly being subjected to censorship. With the new school year started, the topic is a concern to many school librarians across the country. Book banning is not a new thing; historically there have been many books challenged throughout the years. This

Let Freedom Read: Banned Book Week 2023

By Megan Gleason | m.gleason@mycityjournals.com

is why in 1982, activists and the American Library Association (ALA) created Banned Book Week.

Banned Book Week is a celebration of the most challenged books every year, not only within school libraries but bookstores and public libraries. The point of this celebration is to bring awareness to intellectual freedom and the importance of the right to access diverse ideas. Typically, Banned Book Week is held in September but has been moved to Oct. 1-7 for the 2023 celebration with the theme of “Let Freedom Read,” serving as a reminder that the freedom to read is a fundamental right that should be protected and celebrated.

“This is a dangerous time for readers and the public servants who provide access to reading materials,” said Deborah Caldwell-Stone, director of the ALA’s Office for Intellectual Freedom. “Readers, particularly students, are losing access to critical information, and librarians and teachers are under attack for doing their jobs.”

The importance of Banned Book Week is to realize that while society grows and changes there will be topics considered more controversial than others at any given time.

A lot of books now considered “classics” and commonly taught as school curriculum are books that have been challenged in the past such as “To Kill a Mockingbird,”

“The Catcher in the Rye,” and “1984.” All of these books have been heavily contested in the past due to their themes and content.

Even well-loved books such as “Harry Potter,” “Where the Wild Things Are” and “A Wrinkle in Time” have not been spared from protests.

In recent times, the most challenged books are those revolving around or featuring LGBTQ+ topics or characters. However, that is just one of many topics being focused upon to be removed from not just school libraries but public libraries as well. Books containing historical context or biographical accounts have also been targeted.

Banned Book Week serves as a poignant reminder that the right to access information and explore a multitude of viewpoints is essential for the development of well-rounded individuals. By engaging in thoughtful conversations, educators, parents, and communities can navigate the challenges posed by controversial literature while upholding the principles of intellectual freedom and fostering a lifelong love of learning.l

Last month, I watched the neighborhood kids trudge back to school. Hunched under the weight of heavy backpacks, the little Quasimodos marched into the school year carrying a 300-page summer homework packet, an associate’s degree they earned at math camp, 750 colored pencils, scissors, an emotional support stuffed animal, cleaning products, a mass spectrometer, a non-BPA bento box and some allergen-free crackers.

When I attended elementary school in the 1900s, we didn’t use backpacks. They hadn’t been invented. It was too cumbersome to drag our handcart to school, so we carried our math, history, language, science, reading and social studies books home in our arms every night.

Most kids didn’t fail because they didn’t understand the homework, they failed because they were too weak to carry 50 pounds of textbooks.

Parents and educators set the bar for us at “extremely low” and we were lucky to hit that. One of my biggest challenges came in fourth grade when I started the school year wearing homemade avocado-green culottes. And it got worse. My Bionic Woman lunchbox had an unreliable latch, so I spent lunchtime worrying my PB&J would fall onto the floor and everyone would laugh.

Not sure if I learned anything that year.

The motto at the elementary school near my home is “Academically smart, character strong.” I don’t think my school had a motto, unless it was “Sit down and shut up.” It wasn’t that our teachers didn’t care, they just thought “quiet reading time” or “rest your heads on your desks” was the best way to spend the majority of our day.

But that first day of school was always

Getting Schooled

we wrapped eggs in styrofoam and threw them off the school roof. #Science

Luckily for today’s hard-working students, they get vacation days all the time. They’re off for Burning Man and Mardi Gras and Oktoberfest and (ironically) International Literacy Day. In the 1970s, we had Christmas Day off and a half-day for Thanksgiving. We didn’t even miss school for being sick. We just took our pneumonia-filled lungs to class and hoped we didn’t die during recess.

I’m not saying elementary school was better in the 20th century. It wasn’t. Not at all. If we could eat with a spoon in kindergarten,

we would be at the top of the class. Kids who knew the difference between a letter and a number were named class president. Our role models were Bugs Bunny and the Muppets, so we were trained early in sarcasm.

Kids are so much smarter now than we ever were. I’m amazed at what my grandkids learn. I have a 7-year-old granddaughter learning Spanish and a 6-year-old granddaughter building LEGO robots. When I was their age, my biggest challenge was learning cat’s cradle. I guess the content in those heavy backpacks is paying off. l

exciting. New school supplies had to be arranged carefully in my desk, including a brand new cardboard pencil box with a built-in pencil sharpener that was never sharp enough to create a point. It just mangled the top of my pencils, leaving a broken lead I kept pushing back into place.

And, of course, there had to be space for my colorful hoppy taw, for hopscotch, and a bag of cat’s-eyes so I could shoot marbles at recess. Not real cat’s eyes. I’m not that old.

Understanding Grief: Caring for Yourself, Caring for Others

SPEAKER

William G. (Bill) Hoy, PH.D., FT

Author • Educator • Grief Counselor • Chaplain

Bereavement is not about “recovery,” but rather, about finding renewed life. The basic task for a bereaved person is to learn to live in a radically–changed world that no longer includes the physical relationship with our loved one. In this practical, community workshop, Dr. Bill Hoy will help bereaved people and those who care for them understand the practical steps to take charge of their grief and live again, even in the aftermath of incredible sorrow. For those in attendance who are curious about how to help, there will be ample ideas for the practical things to say and do (as well as to not say and do!).

During the workshop, we’ll find answers together to questions like:

• What simple actions can I take now to get my life back on track?

• Is what I’m feeling and seeing normal?

• How do I deal with well–meaning friends and their unwanted advice?

• The holidays are coming; what in the world are we going to do without them?

NOTICES OBITUARY

Darrell Fred (Dick) Larson

Darrell Fred (Dick) Larson, a very good man, passed away on Aug. 26, 2023, surrounded by family. Darrell is survived by his beautiful and caring wife, Judith Fehlberg Larson, his children, Leslie Phillips, David Larson, Keith Larson, Doug Larson, and Lorie Gordon, and his 13 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.

Darrell was born in 1935 to Charles Walton Larson and Florence Zesiger Larson. They made their first home in Centerville, Utah. Charles passed away when Darrell was just a baby, leaving Florence to raise her two sons, Howard and Darrell. The boys were a handful, and work was scarce during WWII. Florence cut hair to buy food and welcomed help from her loving family. Florence’s parents, Fred and Kate Zesiger – whose farm was the present site of Tolman Elementary and Zesiger Park – and several Zesiger uncles all helped raise Darrell and his brother. Darrell was taught to work hard, play ball, and laugh a lot.

Darrell’s mom later married Lloyd Bishop and relocated the boys to Kaysville, Utah. Darrell gained an instant brother, Lloyd Kay, and, a few years later, a new younger brother, Rob Bishop. Darrell graduated from Davis High School, served two years in the Army (mostly playing ball and dancing in the officers’ club), and then served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the British Isles. He shipped himself home with a vintage VW Bug and finished a degree in business at the University of Utah.

Darrell danced the night away one evening with Judy at the Terrace Ballroom, and he knew right away he was smitten. They married in the Salt Lake Temple on June 18, 1962, and they settled in Bountiful, Utah to raise their five kids. Through the years, the family has loved spending time with each other and friends playing sports, skiing, boating, and taking annual trips to Lake Powell. With plenty of luck and a little divine intervention, Darrell and Judy always managed to bring home the same number of kids they left with.

Darrell spent the first 20 years of his career with IBM selling typewriters. Nobody sold typewriters better than Darrell. Rather than mess with the new “computer fad,” Darrell left IBM and he and Judy opened an insurance agency in Bountiful, Larson Insurance Services, where they worked for the next 20 years. Despite being president of the local chamber of commerce, Darrell never had a great business model – often “forgiving” client premiums, taking over car payments, and caring for every widow in town. But it was never about selling typewriters or insurance; Darrell’s business was about his ministry. Darrell finally agreed to retire so he and Judy could serve missions – one to Nairobi, Kenya and another to Rochester, New York.

To know Darrell was to love him, because he loved you. His eye twinkle and wry grin

let you know you were in on the joke. He loved a good Jazz game or baseball game, shoulder rubs, a suspenseful Grisham novel or spy film, a George Shearing LP, high school reunions, and a Seigfreid's bratwurst and hot potato salad. You could find him monthly serving food at St. Vincent’s soup kitchen and weekly serving in the Bountiful Temple. He loved to listen to his kids argue over politics and make fun of them for taking themselves too seriously. Darrell was a great coach, counselor, teacher, husband, father, and friend. His was a life well lived.

Can’t wait to see you again pops!

Funeral services will be held Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, at 11 a.m., at the Centerville Stake Center (950 North Main St., Centerville).

Viewings will be held Friday evening, Sept. 1, 2023, from 6 to 8 p.m. at Russon Brothers Mortuary, (295 North Main St., Bountiful) and Saturday morning prior to the service at the stake center from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Interment will be at the Bountiful City Cemetery. Services will be streamed live on Dick’s obituary at www.russonmortuary.com.

Examination of Darrell’s papers, yielded a number of receipts for his favorite charities, so in lieu of flowers, he’d love it if you’d choose to donate instead to any of the following:

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison

TV Media

Q: When the “Pawn Stars” guys call in people for appraisals and expert advice, do they get reimbursed?

A: The various experts who come in to Gold & Silver Pawn Shop to help with trickier items — rare books, collectibles and so on — don’t get a cent for their appearances, and they’re quite happy about it.

“It’s been a great experience and helped my business tremendously,” said

TELEVISION GUIDE

Steve Grad, lead autograph authenticator on “Pawn Stars,” in an interview with Deadline.com. “I hope it lasts forever because I love it so much.”

What he’s saying, essentially, is that he’s paid in exposure. That’s a familiar concept on reality TV — so many of the people who volunteer for public scrutiny on a reality show do so with dreams of bigger fame to come. But the exchange is a little more direct on “Pawn Stars” — for these experts, most of whom are business owners themselves, the exposure translates to higher sales.

The long-running History series, about day-to-day business at a pawn shop in downtown Las Vegas, has made the once-modest Gold & Silver Pawn into a Vegas tourist attraction. And it has done the same for some of these other businesses.

Q: What has Jeffrey Donovan been doing since “Burn Notice”?

A: He’s been coming full circle, in a way.

The popularity of USA Network’s dramedy “Burn Notice,” which ran from 2007 to 2013, caught many by surprise and turned star Jeffrey Donovan into a leading man.

Rather than pursue hunky-hero stardom, though, he soon switched to supporting roles in weightier projects. That included playing morally complex characters who flirted with outright villainy in major films such as “Sicario” (2015) and “Wrath of Man” (2021).

But he recently turned back toward straightforward heroism, and leading-man status, on “Law & Order.” He joined the revival of NBC’s flagship cop drama in 2021, playing Det. Frank Cosgrove, the latest in a long line of detectives who

anchor the “Order” aspect of the show. (For anyone who, somehow, has never seen an episode of “Law & Order,” the episodes are generally divided into two halves, one following cops and one following lawyers.)

Donovan wrapped his second season in the role earlier this year, and we have every reason to believe he’ll be back next season — the show’s 23rd.

Joining the “Law & Order” cast was a full-circle moment for him in another way as well: One of his very first acting roles was as a corpse in a 1995 episode. The guest-hungry series brought him back again 12 years later to play a murder suspect, just a few months before he debuted in his life-changing role on “Burn Notice.”

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

Show business strikes notwithstanding, Stephen Colbert will be presiding over “The Late Show” for some time to come.

Whether in repeats or new episodes, the CBS weeknight host (also an executive producer of the series) will be welcoming guests to the stage of New York’s Ed Sullivan Theater for at least three more years, since he recently agreed to a contract extension. A member of the Writers Guild of America himself, Colbert has expressed his support for the striking members, and he reportedly has continued to pay his staff during the work stoppage that has caused his Peabody Award-winning, frequently Primetime Emmy-nominated program to air repeats since May.

Those episodes are of fairly recent vintage, but former “The Daily Show” regular Colbert has a sizable library to draw from, having filled the “Late Show” job since several months after David Letterman left the desk in 2015 … after Colbert ended Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report” at the end of 2014. The current hiatus for new “Late Show” installments comes after the coronavirus pandemic prompted production of the program from Colbert’s home for five months in 2010, and though fresh hours had resumed, an in-studio audience didn’t return until June 2021.

Since topicality has been one of the host’s strongest suits and top desires, the choice of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” encores lately has been interesting. By necessity, the opening monologues have been several months old, at least – but it’s to the credit of Colbert and his creative team that the often politically driven humor has been original enough to remain entertaining, even if it isn’t optimally timely. The moment for that will come again, though, and Colbert undoubtedly will be more than ready for it.
