Family Community Christmas brings SPORTS a bit of magic to those in need

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com KAYSVILLE—In 1986, Frank and Barbara Frodsham started what has now become a tradition of bringing those who were homeless to their farm and giving them warm hats, gloves, socks and other essentials to make their Christmas a little bit brighter. Initially they started it to help a friend who was going through a divorce and wasn’t going to see her kids for Christmas.

They said, “‘Let’s go find some of the homeless in Salt Lake and bring them to the farm and give them a warm meal,’” said Scott Ellenson, co-chairman of Family Community Christmas. “They had a total of 17 guests. This year we’ve had over 1,000.”

Frank and Barbara ran Frodsham Family Christmas for a couple of decades, said Ellenson. “They got older and Frank passed away so Barbara was going to stop doing it. JC Bolton and I had a conversation that we were not going to let that happen.”

Bolton has been volunteering for the last 25 years and this is Ellenson’s 17th year. “The Frodsham family asked that the name be changed, so it became the Family Community Christmas,” said Ellenson. “That’s what it is all about is families.”

This year’s event was held last Saturday at the Agricultural Heritage Center in Kaysville. “We were able to have the pony rides inside so that guests could stay warm,” he said. “We had families sign up and they were matched with a volunteer. There were games for the kids and families got black garbage bags to go shopping for clothes.”

SALT LAKE CITY—In 2022, there were 10 fatalities that were the result of eight wrong-way crashes in Utah. There have been 18 wrong-way driving crashes in 2023, with six fatalities and the latest a crash in Parleys Canyon that killed the wrong-way driver. As the numbers seem to be escalating, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has been installing a new detection and alert system aimed at stopping the trend.

“We’re seeing an uptick but we don’t know why exactly,” said Mitch Shaw, Senior Communications Manager, Utah Department of Transportation. “Wrong-way driving mostly occurs on the interstate with people Please see SYSTEM pg. 6

Hometown History – Home for the Holidays in Davis

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—Since people have walked across Davis County, there has always been something to celebrate in the month now called December. Whether that celebration was the Winter Solstice, Christmas, Hanukkah, Eid al-Fitr, Kwanzaa or any other of the many holidays celebrated this time of year, there’s just something special about it. In this article, we take a look at some of the past goings on right here in Davis as people celebrated the holidays.

Though Santa Claus may seem a newcomer in the celebration of Christmas, he is mentioned quite a bit in the local newspaper of the 1890s. The occasion in the late 19th century was also punctuated by community dances, presentations, and dinners. Though it may seem simple, the articles of the era reflect a gratitude and joy, as at that point, the settlements that would become the Davis residents know today were barely 50 years old.

About a decade later, at the turn of the last century, many residents of the county found themselves going to the Bountiful Opera House on Main Street in Bountiful for entertainment and dances. The paper also reports many family members returning to the area to spend time with their parents, siblings, or children. Many meals, both public and private were reported as people made the season merry.

Shopping wasn’t far from people’s minds way back when either. In 1913, the newspaper advertised special deals for the season, including a full men’s suit for only $9.90 ($307.67 in today’s money), and holiday handkerchiefs for a measly 3 cents, (93 cents today). Mar-

riages were announced at holiday parties, live bands played while people danced, and the papers were full of comings and goings.

The 20s and 30s saw the rise of more advanced, mechanical toys, still priced below a dollar, and though consumerism was certainly on the rise, ads featured sayings like, “The glad holiday time never fails to repeat the thought, ‘what will I give?’” Residents could see a live performance for a quarter, learn some recipes of yuletide past, or take advantage of a longer shopping season, which extended beyond the few days before the end of the month.

The next 20 years were marked by both solemnity and joy simultaneously, as many young men and women were spending their holidays overseas. Rationing curbed some spending in 1943, but people still made merry while they thought of their loved ones fighting fascism in Europe and the Pacific. In 1953, the Korean War had just ended not months ago, meaning that many servicemen and women were home once more, indulging in feasts, parties, and more in their own homes.

From the middle of the 20th century on, more and more public programs were brought to Davis County, including singing of Handel’s Messiah, public tree lighting, parades, and more. A more diverse population brought other celebrations and traditions celebrated in public spaces and in homes across the county. While each celebrated in their own way, these traditions served, and continue to serve as a warm spot in the middle of an otherwise cold and dreary time of year. l

Dog attacks – by the numbers

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—Recently, Davis County and other Utah residents have seen a strange uptick in dog attacks. These attacks, which in some cases have resulted in severe injury and intense medical attention, have spurred discussion about dog attacks in general, what kinds of breeds should be allowed, which are more dangerous, and so on.

An in-depth look at the numbers behind dog attacks across the country can help residents see the bigger picture, and make a more informed decision.

According to Forbes, 4.5 million Americans are attacked by dogs each year. Of these attacks, experts estimate that 800,000 are severe enough to cause hospital visits, with only 30-50 of those dying each year from dog attacks. The number of annual fatalities may seem low in comparison to attacks, but across the country, countless people are affected by the loss of one of those 30-50.

With a minimal percentage of stray dogs contributing to attacks, what pets are responsible for the majority of dog attacks? According to the data collected

by Forbes, it may come as no surprise

that pit bulls lead the pack in both dog attacks by breed, as well as dog attacks that result in death. With the numbers clearly reflecting a propensity toward aggression within that particular breed, many have brought up the question of nature versus nurture.

The nature versus nurture debate focuses on whether a dog can be aggressive due to instinct and breed, or if the blame ultimately rests with the owner if a combination of care, feeding, and upbringing will cause a dog to act aggressively. There is strong evidence for both sides of the argument, and many people have passionately argued in favor of each, which makes the consensus among experts, not all that surprising.

Many studies done by different researchers have concluded that both factors are to blame for a dog’s aggressive behavior. There are inherent traits common to certain breeds of dogs that can cause them to act more aggressively than others, and if a dog, any dog, is raised with certain factors, that dog can be aggressive, and potentially attack people.

Both cases, whether it be a particularly dangerous breed or a dog that was raised poorly, make for a dangerous situation.

The uptick in dog attacks in Utah,

while reflecting the data favoring pit bulls, seems to have no clear correlation as to why more attacks have happened recently. Factors including the change in weather, change in environment or routine, or even a reflection of stress and anxiety of their owners could all be contributing factors.

The most important thing to do in either case is to know the signs of aggression and know what to do in the event of an attack. Aggressive dogs, in many cases, will give signs before an attack: • Tense body posture • Bared teeth • Growling • Hair standing on end If a dog is displaying signs of aggression like this, experts have given a few tips to diffuse the situation before the dog lunges or bites: • Don’t make eye contact/don’t smile.

• Stand sideways, keeping hands in fists.

• Slowly back away.

• Don’t run.

• Try to keep something between you, and the dog (a sweater, bag, stick, etc.)

Often, dogs like pit bulls won’t offer

any sort of warning, or, even after trying to diffuse the situation, the dog will still attack. The following pointers may just save a life if followed during a dog attack: • Use a forearm or shin to give the dog something to latch on to – the dog will bite, so it’s better to give it something less vital to bite.

• Do your best to stay upright. If the dog drags you down, curl up, and protect your face and neck.

• Don’t try to extricate your limb until the dog is subdued – this will only worsen the injury.

• If a dog is latched on, it’s a fight for survival – attack eyes, throat, underbelly, and any sensitive areas to get the dog off of you.

• If the situation is dire, find a way to fall on the dog, breaking ribs is a quick way to ensure they stop the attack.

As unpleasant as any of these tactics may seem, if a dog attacks it can be a life-or-death situation. Even if the injuries don’t cause death, often serious medical attention is required to stave off infection, or worse. l

children aged (0-11). There were then 1,373 killed, and 3,805 injured for teenagers aged (12-17). Since the tragedy at Columbine, there have been 386 school shootings. With all of these tragedies happening, do kids feel safe in school?

The people listed down below were asked “Do you feel safe in school, if no, what is causing that and is there anything that can be done to fix it?

Quin from Viewmont says, “I feel pretty safe at school! I don’t think I’ve ever been outwardly bullied at school in Davis County to my knowledge. However – I do frequently keep myself from putting pride or human rights memorabilia on my car for fear of it being damaged. I also don’t like to keep my parking pass in my window outside of school. Makes me feel like a target. Other than that I feel pretty confident com-

ing into the school.

Luck from Viewmont says, “1. No, this state is largely anti gun control and Utah has some of the worst mental illness issues in the country, if not THE worst, 2. (on how to fix it) More limits on who can buy guns and more education on mental illness and health.

How has Davis School District tried to help with this problem? Davis School District has adopted the “I Love U Guys” Standard Response Protocol (SRP). Students and staff also practice these protocols as well. These are protocols that practice what to do in the event of a school shooting.

Davis School District’s Emergency Preparation page states Davis School District works in close collaboration with local, state and federal safety and emergency response personnel to devel-

op and maintain plans for coping with a variety of emergency response situations. These plans involve efforts to protect all students while they are at school.

The majority of Davis School Districts high schools and junior highs now have secure entry points, and now have over 5,000 surveillance cameras, and a camera on the majority of their buses.

These new implementations do seem to be successful, According to GVPedia 0 school shootings have happened since 2013 in Utah. This is a good sign for Utah, and the safety of students in Utah as a whole.

Adrian, a student at Viewmont represents many students’ mindsets well when he said, “I do feel safe at school but the reality of a school shooting is very real.”

Do students feel safe at school?

here has been a steady increase of mass shootings since 2018, the number of mass shootings that year was 329, In 2019, there were 410, in 2020, that number ended with 605. Since then, there have been 686 in 2021, and 636 in 2022, and just in 2023 alone, there have been 636. A shooting is considered a mass shooting when four or more are injured, or killed. This means that in 2022, 2,544 people were victims of a mass shooting, this is not including incidents where less than four people were hurt or killed.

Now this does include all ages, but what about kids in school? In 2022, there were 314 killed and 681 injured for

BLAST FROM NEWS BRIEFS THE PAST News stories from yesteryear in Davis County Compiled by Braden Nelsen

1923

County will join state in reclamation investigation

At their regular meeting held December 17, 1923, the county commissioners of Davis County, agreed to cooperate with the state and will endeavor to carry out the suggestion as outlined by the Governor on the following letter: Within the past two years, considerable investigation work has been done on what is called the Great Salt Lake Basin Project.

It is desired now to extend the investigation somewhat to a conclusion. One of the special objects of such further inquiry and survey has been to include lands in Davis County that are now without water.

1933

Utah Power and Light donating current to make bright Xmas

Christmas lights are again twinkling their message of holiday cheer.

Many thousands of kilowatt hours of electric current, producing in excess of a quarter of a million candlepower of downtown Christmas lighting have been donated again this year during the holiday period, by the Utah Power and Light company to various cities, towns, and communities in its territory in Utah, Idaho and Wyoming.

1943

Wrist watches preferred by Marines as Yule gifts

Watches, especially wristwatches, are the Christmas gift most desired by Marines on foreign duty in the Pacific.

The Marine Corps announced this conclusion on the basis of a mid-summer survey conducted by commanders of its units in the Pacific to determine what Marines would like friends and relatives to send for Christmas. However, in order to reach their destinations on time, the packages should have been shipped to naval and Marine personnel overseas during the period from September 15 to November 1.

1953

Bountiful Briefs

signs have been placed on streets stopping traffic on east and west roads on First West and also on other streets in the city.

This improvement has also curtailed accidents that had been occurring frequently throughout the city. Let’s all drive carefully and observe the traffic laws of the city.

Many cars make U-turns in front of this office on the Main street which is against the city ordinance. Several weeks ago a young man made a U-turn and his little child fell out of the door of the car on the hard road.

The baby was not injured, fortunately.

1963

Btfl. considers sponsoring of ski busses

Requests that Bountiful sponsor a bus to take skiers to Brighton and Alta prompted a discussion by the city council during its regular meeting Wednesday evening.

Councilman Morris Swapp said a number of persons had asked the city to set up arrangements for a bus and ski instructor. Those taking part in the program would pay the cost back to the city, he said.

1973

Bountiful, Clearfield agree on housing

Bountiful and Clearfield have approved an intercity agreement for administering Davis County’s share of emergency housing funds appropriated by the Utah Legislature.

Davis County cities were asked to review the proposal at the recent meeting of the Davis County Correlation Council of Governments.

1983

More jobs now in Davis

CLEARFIELD—More jobs are available, fewer are applying for unemployment benefits and building’s picked up.

Those positive notes are among several outlining what Clearfield Job Service Manager Jack Bailey calls a “cautious” economic recovery in Davis County that parallels a dramatic drop in unemployment levels across the state from nine percent a year ago to 6.2 last month.

Driver arrested after high speed chase The driver of a vehicle that led UHP Troopers on a high speed chase through Davis County over the weekend was taken into custody when he was located by a DPS helicopter as he fled on foot after he crashed due to his speed.

Chrystapher James Kessler, 18, was booked into the Davis County Jail on charges of aggravated assault; two counts of failure to stop at command of police; reckless endangerment; failure to remain at an accident involving injury; Two counts of reckless driving and multiple drug charges.

According to a police affidavit, a trooper responded to a report just after 11 p.m. of a “black Dodge Charger that had fled from a Salt Lake County Trooper over 130 mph with no lights on.”

Dispatch also received calls from motorists that a vehicle was driving at high speeds in Centerville. A trooper tried to stop him at the 200 North off ramp in Kaysville without success.

Kessler continued northbound on I-15 running two red lights on Antelope Drive, the affidavit said.

When he turned north on 1000 West in Syracuse the trooper was able to deploy spikes. The DPS helicopter was also in pursuit and officers attempted to box the car in with their emergency lights, the police statement said.

Once he was boxed in, Kessler put the vehicle in reverse and accelerating backwards he crashed into a UHP patrol car and escaped again. Reaching speeds over 100 mph, Kessler fled eastbound on SR-93 in Clearfield and tried to turn onto Center Street but crashed because of his speed and flat tires from the spikes, police said.

He fled the scene on foot but was located by the DPS helicopter.

CYCLOPS

hen life doesn’t go the way we want it to, we often respond with questions like Why me? Why now? Why do I have to go through this? But if we had greater insight, we would probably be more likely to ask: What am I supposed to learn from this? What am I being prepared for? How will the future be different as a result of what I’m experiencing right now? And, How will I be able to use this experience to make a difference in the world? Our lives are being guided and coordinated in a manner that is sometimes difficult for us to comprehend. But simply because we don’t fully understand this process, it does not negate the fact that there is really purpose and reason and wisdom in life. Depression falls into this category.

Depression seems to be the result of a complex interaction between certain genetic tendencies and predispositions, combined with thinking patterns we develop as we define a variety of painful lifeevents. But things are not always what they might appear to be. Life seems to be miraculously filled with a wide variety of situations whose only purpose is to create our destiny. And the thinking patterns, or habits of explanation that we develop from dealing with these situations tend to help each of us develop a perception of either helplessness, or hopefulness, pessimism or optimism.

It is not simply a painful sequence of events that causes depression, but rather, it appears to be our perception of those events. Perception develops the ease or difficulty with which we make life-management decisions. In essence, it creates our reality.

While life generally inflicts similar levels of pain and problems on just about everyone, optimists tend to see these obstacles as stepping stones which strengthen them and enables them to rise to a higher level. The pain is still there, but optimists tend to see the obstacles as something that can be managed. Pessimists tend to see the obstacles as stumbling blocks that may appear to be overwhelming.

The Law of Accommodation states that what life requires, it creates. In oth-

Bountiful boy to appear on Food Network's Kids Baking Championship series

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—When Henry Muranaka was three or four years old, he started helping his mom in the kitchen baking. He never dreamed that several years later it would land him a spot on Food Network’s Emmy®-nominated competition series Kids Baking Championship. The 13-year-old Bountiful Junior High student is one of 12 competitors from all over the country.

The 10-episode series premieres on Jan. 1 and the winner will receive a $25,000 prize, a spot in Food Network Magazine and the title Kids Baking Champion.

“When I was younger I’d help my mom bake,” said Muranaka. “I have been going to the Salt Lake Culinary Institute for two years. I got more and more into baking. I decided to take more classes and I did.”

Muranaka said his mom got an email from the school about the competition.

“They said I should try out for the baking championship. We hadn’t heard of it so we watched a couple of episodes and I thought it looked fun.”

To apply for the show Muranaka said he had to send in photos of himself baking. “We had to bake tons of stuff and send in pictures and videos of you making it. We did Zoom interviews and a Zoom call with a big group of people and the producer who talked to the finalists so they could get to know more about you. I heard from them a couple of days later.”

Muranaka said he likes to bake a lot of things but his personal favorite is creampuffs. “I did a sixth grade science project to decide what the best flour was to make creampuffs that left the most space inside for filling. I used three dif-

ferent types of flour and weighed it before and after. I noticed the most filling space and averaged it out.”

In the competition he has to bake a variety of different things, not just creampuffs. Each week the bakers face a new challenge, creating the most popular sweets and latest dessert trends.

The twist is, the kids have to follow a school-based theme such as picture day, recess games and cafeteria lunch dessert imposters.

“I don’t have a favorite,” said Muranaka. “I just like school so any of the challenges (will be fun).”

“School serves as a social hub, a space for learning, and a nurturing ground where children face challenges and foster growth – making it the ideal theme for the new season of Kids Bak-

ing Championship,” said Betsy Ayala, Head of Content, Food, Warner Bros.

Discovery. “The new challenges capture the essence of the school experience with every dessert.”

The judges set a base item, he said.

“Then we have a certain amount of time to make something involved in it.”

It’s pretty stressful, Muranaka said.

“I just took deep breaths when I was under pressure.”

In one of his classes at Bountiful Junior there is a unit on cooking, said Muranaka. “The other kids look at me.

There are no recipes. I make them myself.”

When he’s not baking Muranaka likes to mountain bike, golf and play tennis.

Muranaka said he might open a restaurant when he gets older. “I really like cooking too. I really like to make stuff with onions. I really like onions, especially caramelized onions that I use

on burgers.”

The producers were really nice, he said. “It was a crazy experience. My favorite part was getting to know everybody. Especially the kids my age who all enjoy baking. There’s not a ton of kids in general who like baking – when you go there they do.”

The show premieres Jan. 1 at 7 p.m. on Food Network. On Monday, Feb. 26 it’s the final two episodes of the competition. The four remaining contestants will be challenged to see who has the most school spirit with a tie-dye doughnuts and ice cream competition. Three bakers will earn a spot in the grand finale at 8 p.m. where they have to make a championship-worthy volcano cake.

It has to look realistic and it must erupt too. The baker with the best all around volcano cake will be crowned Kids Baking Champion.l

Youth are looked at as a whole, she said. “You might not have the very best grades but you are a good individual.

Who they are is more important than what grades they got in high school. Making a difference isn’t always shown on a transcript.”

Some kids have special circumstances, said Bernards. “They might be working to support their family or have issues of their own. There’s a lot more to the story than their scholastic record.”

Applicants are reviewed unanimously, she said. “We don’t allocate a state and we take out any identifying information. That makes it equal so that all students have a fair shot based on their application.”

This is the second cycle of the program, Bernards said. “The funds are not just for a four year college. You can receive it for accredited technical schools or two year colleges. In the last pool of applicants most went to universities, and a handful went to vocational schools in things like HVAC and culinary programs.”

It is not limited to what higher education means, she said. “It’s whatever fits the student’s needs post high school.”

Viewmont graduate Larson Rupp received the $2,500 Mountain America scholarship and is now studying at Utah State University. “I graduated from Viewmont in May,” he said. “I’m going into

aerospace engineering.”

The scholarship definitely helped, said Rupp. “I put it toward tuition. I’m lucky enough that my parents are helping with housing but everything else is covered with that scholarship.”

Rupp was in the National Honor Society at Viewmont and was involved in Students Making a Difference that did service projects in the community and at school.

“We left notes and candy with words of encouragement to students,” he said. “I also attended a Red Cross leadership camp where I learned how to become a leader and help others.”

When he’s not in the classroom, Rupp enjoys mountain biking, cars and airplanes. “Really anything that moves,” he said. “I want to do airplane design for a career.”

Rupp said Mountain America is a great institution. “They’re making a difference in helping students get the education they want.”

The application window opened Dec. 11 and closes Feb. 11, 2024. To apply go to https://www.macu.com/about/community/mountain-america-foundation/scholarship-notification-form.l

Elevate Scholarship helps students achieve their educational goals

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—The Mountain America Foundation, recently launched the Elevate Scholarship program. It is the second year the institution has given out scholarships to students in multiple states and here in Davis County. Last year, they awarded $300,000 in scholarships to 120 students. Several local students received the scholarships.

“It’s people helping people,” said Marissa Bernards, Director of Government & Community Engagement for Mountain America Credit Union. “Education makes such a difference in the community. We gave 120 students a $2,500 scholarship.”

It’s exciting to see this happen with the Foundation, she said. “Mountain America leadership has really gotten behind this.”

There are qualifications to receive the scholarship, said Bernards. “We wanted to capture as many graduating students as possible. We’ve added a contingency for kids who may not go straight to college and graduate from high school in 20212023.”

Some students delay higher education because of military, religious or humanitarian reasons, she said. “It’s for students who are going into higher education in the

fall of 2024 for the first time.”

They’re not required to be a member of Mountain America, Bernards said. “We open an account if they win a scholarship.”

Bernards said they want to make the scholarship accessible. “It’s partially their academic record (20%) but we also look at their character, core values, work ethic and leadership and how they contribute to community and volunteer groups.”

CPP plans renovation of Skyline View Apartments for more affordable housing

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—In an effort to provide more affordable housing, Community Preservation Partners (CCP) has acquired the Skyline View Apartments in Layton with a plan to renovate the 112 units with an estimated per unit renovation cost of $70,000. CPP partnered with The Hampstead Companies who will be the co-owner and co-developer.

“CPP’s focus is on preservation of affordable housing,” said Karen Buckland, VP Development Community Preservation. “Hampstead’s and our path are both preservation developers. Now we’re finding a project and partnering up.”

The Skyline View Apartments are made up of eight two-story, garden-style buildings that cover three sites, 443, 448 and 430 North Fairfield Road, she said. They were built between 1973 and 1978 and haven’t had any significant renovations.

Residents in the apartments are at risk families, she said. “The apartments are losing their affordability. The property’s HUD subsidy was set to expire but with the CPP’s involvement the units will remain affordable and extend that so people can afford it for another 20 years.”

It’s an exciting subsidy for residents who currently receive it, said Buckland. “They can stay in place.”

It’s an $8.5 million renovation, she said. “This will modernize the community. We’ll make upgrades in the

bathroom, with plumbing and paint throughout and do all of the roof, siding and put in new windows. Residents will remain in the unit and if needed we’ll put them up in a local motel or hotel at no out-of-pocket to residents.”

The renovation will also address accessibility, Buckland said. “We’ll make sure there are no structural problems and make sure we’re accommodating people with disabilities.”

Other upgrades include new paths in the common out-

side area and tot lots for kids.

“Layton has significant employment growth,” she said. “There’s less than a 2% unemployment rate.”

The average family makes about $140,000, said Buckland. “We’re targeting the low income families who earn less than $50,000. The key to growth is adding affordable housing. That’s what’s needed by preserving what is existing.”

The property is income restricted, she said. “There is a cap on the amount of income they’re able to earn based on family size in order to move into the apartments. That is checked annually. They can stay unless their income goes up.”

Right now it is 100% occupied, Buckland said. “We have a waiting list. They’re hard to get into. Affordability can be quite challenging. Many are rent over burdened.”

“The Skyline View Apartments are a perfect example of CPP’s preservation efforts in affordable housing where it’s most needed,” said Seth Gellis, President at CPP. “The location next to a metro center makes these homes ideal for families of working-class renters who can’t afford to live in the downtown area.”

The preservation sector is making an impact on residents, said Buckland. “We want to preserve a home for them. That’s one of our focuses. Housing is such a big focus for a lot of folks.”l

going the wrong direction at the on or off ramps.”

That can be catastrophic, he said.

“People aren’t expecting that and you’ve got two conflicting vehicles hitting each other at freeway speeds.”

Shaw said people ask why they don’t use tire shredders. “It is not practical and not effective. Those are designed for vehicles traveling about five miles an hour. There’s also the weather here. We have to clear the roads and treat them with chemicals. It would be a nightmare to maintain.”

They can also get stuck in the up position, he said. “The natural instinct when you see those is to brake and that can cause a rear end. That can be dangerous too.”

Currently, there are signs that people should be able to see but these go above and beyond the typical signage, said Shaw. “These have radar and cameras that work at night too. It can detect cars traveling the wrong direction.

They are big red, bold signs that flash and say you’re traveling the wrong way.”

A lot of crashes involve drugs or alcohol, he said. “We hope the big, bright flashing lights might get their attention in a beefed up way by making the signs more visible and interactive.”

Mostly it alerts the driver that they’re going the wrong way, said Shaw. “It also sends an alert to the UDOT Traffic Center (TOC) and UHP (Utah Highway Patrol) so they can track the driver to see where they are and get to them as quickly as possible.”

UDOT has installed 15 detection systems since February, he said. “There are several more to be installed.”

There are three working systems in

Davis County and one under construction: • US-89 (State St SB off ramp at SR-225 (Park Lane), Farmington • SR-67 (Legacy Parkway NB off ramp) at SR-225, Farmington • I-15 SB & 2600 South, Woods Cross • I-15 NB & 200 West, Farmington, under construction, waiting on power connection According to UDOT, an initial test of the system last fall on the northbound off-ramp from Legacy Parkway at the I-15/Park/Lane/US-89 interchange in Farmington, the system detected 23 wrong-way drivers who all turned around.

The Utah Transportation Commission approved a funding request in February for $2.5 million to install this detection system at 22 additional locations throughout the state.

“It’s hard to pinpoint patterns because they happen sporadically,” said Shaw. “We try to choose routes where you see a high number of vehicle travel and a lot of traffic. We select areas (to install) that will benefit the most.”

With the traditional static wrongway signs unless someone is inebriated, it’s just a case where someone made a mistake, he said. “We hope the interactive bold letter signs will get their attention. Logic would tell you it’s working.”

Part of the increase in wrong-way incidents is because there is more traffic, Shaw said. “It’s an especially scary situation. Vehicles are driving at a high rate of speed. UDOT is trying to reverse the trend and get back on track.” l

FAMILY COMMUNITY: Continued from pg. 1

We’re going to do this every year. It’s become a tradition. This is our favorite part of Christmas.”

Sorenson said he’s had a lot of meaningful experiences as a volunteer.

“I see parents who could get stuff for themselves but they didn’t care, they just wanted to get things for their children.”

One family had little boys and they were all wearing shorts, he said. “They were looking for pants because they were freezing. They needed something right that minute. That’s where some people are at.”

“This experience has been amazing,” said Xitlaly, who was with her little boys finding the things she needed.

“They even give you things for people in your family who aren’t here. One of my boys is home.”

The staff welcomes everybody, she said. “They hear our story and they are so nice and they’re smiling offering help.

The two boys (Sorenson’s sons) are so nice with my little ones. They make us feel like friends.”

It’s a gift for volunteers to do this, Ellenson said. “It’s a gift for us to give back. If we can bring a smile to a homeless kid’s face for an hour and give them an ounce of joy – that’s pure joy.”

For more information about Family Community Christmas visit fccofutah. com. l

There were 1,000 books for kids to pick from, said Ellenson. “Everyone got warm socks, hats, gloves, hygiene kits and kids got a new wrapped toy. We had 17,000 toys and everyone got a blanket.

For the last 30 days we’ve had wrapping parties. Last night we wrapped 300 presents.”

The key theme this year was the number 1651, he said. “We’ve partnered with Jodi Lunt and the Davis Education Foundation. As of six weeks ago she said there are 1,651 homeless kids in Davis County. It resonated with us. Interform of Centerville donated T-shirts for all of the volunteers with 1651 printed on the front.”

“I worked at the Frodsham family farm cleaning horse stalls,” said Bolton, co-chair of Family Community Christmas. “We’d help the homeless on Saturdays. Scott and I didn’t want this to die.

It’s worth the sacrifice so it doesn’t go by the wayside.”

It’s an important thing to keep going, he said. “It gives families the opportunity to serve other families. That’s hard to find.”

“J.C. is a good friend of mine,” said Aaron Sorenson who has been volunteering for the last five or six years. “My wife started helping and my boys too.

Bountiful

The Redhawks dropped to 4-3 on the year with a pair of losses last week.

Bountiful fell to Timpview on Dec. 12, 54-53, and then lost at Timpanogos 5448 on Dec. 14.

The Timpview contest was a game of runs. The Thunderbirds were up 17-12 after one quarter, but Bountiful bounced back with a 16-9 sec-

ond-quarter run to go up 28-26 at the break. After a 21-15 third quarter in favor of Timpview, Bountiful came back to nearly pull out the victory. Carson Smith nearly had a double-double, posting 17 points and nine rebounds.

The senior forward/center added three assists too. Bryson Heath led the team with seven assists. He also contributed 14 points and three rebounds. Faletau Satuala and Joe Stobbe had nine and eight points, respectively.

Two days later, in the six-point defeat at the hands of Timpanogos, Bountiful hung tough with the undefeated Timberwolves but couldn’t gain the upper hand. Both teams hit 19 field goals, but Timpanogos made eight three-pointers to Bountiful’s four.

Smith had 22 points in the loss, while

Woods Cross

The Wildcats are wishing for a victory for Christmas.

Last week, Woods Cross had the daunting task of facing two state powers in American Fork and Alta, the latter having won last season’s Class 5A state title. Both contests, however, were lopsided defeats for Woods Cross with American Fork winning 64-37 on Dec. 12 and Woods Cross falling to Alta 86-59 on Dec. 15.

Hunter Jackson had 18 points to lead the Wildcats in scoring against American Fork. He also added four rebounds and a block. Against Alta, Woods Cross fell behind 34-14 after one quarter and had a tough time against the powerful Hawks. Bryson

Watson had a bright spot, posting 25 points and knocking down six three-pointers. Jackson tallied 10 points for the Wildcats.

At 0-7, Woods Cross hosted Ridgeline on Dec. 20, after our press time.

Before New Year’s, the Wildcats play at Kearns Dec. 29.

Viewmont

The Vikings have 16 days in between games for the Christmas break.

The team’s last game was a 69-65 loss at home to Mountain Ridge on Dec. 12. Viewmont will participate in the Utah Autism Classic tournament Dec. 28, 29 against Highland and Olympus.

Viewmont is 1-6 on the season. In its setback against Mountain Ridge, Max Draper led the team with 18 points. Drez Jensen and Kade Cannon added 15 points apiece. l

The Davis girls placed first at the Davis District Meet and the boys came in third in the tightly-contested meet that put Davis second overall.

“This was a hard-fought meet with lots of really close finishes,” said head coach Kit Barker. “Many of our swimmers were facing mental and physical obstacles and they stared them in the face and overcame them!

Third-ranked Davis girls still undefeated on court

By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

D

avis

Third-ranked Davis beat Cyprus 53-19 Dec. 12, putting in 15 points out of the gate while holding the Pirates scoreless in the first quarter. The Darts continued to pour the offense on as they led 30-8 by halftime and coasted to the win.

Kate Richards was the leading scorer with 13 points while Kate Willard (nine points), Kendra Kitchen (eight), T’maea Eteuati (seven), Chloe Peery (four), Shea Miller (four), Olivia Lifferth (four), Avery Dain (two) and Maya Chino (two) also got on the board for Davis.

Against American Fork Dec. 14, Davis won 48-34, going up 12 by half and 20 entering the final quarter.

“American Fork is a great team and is well-coached,” said head coach Anne Davis. “It was a battle on both ends of the court. They have a lot of shooters who have deep range. Our players played with a lot of heart and came up big on both ends when we needed it.”

Kitchen had 20 points and 11 rebounds to lead the Darts while Eteuati also had a double-double with 13 points and 10 boards. Richards (seven points), Dain (six) and Lifferth (two) also scored in the win.

Davis remains undefeated through seven games this season.

Bountiful

The top 5A team, in Bountiful, and Ridgeline, the top 4A squad, squared off Dec. 15 with the Riverhawks getting the better of the Redhawks 78-49.

Bountiful was down 21 points at halftime and Ridgeline poured on 32 more points in the second half.

Milika Satuala and Taylor Harvey both scored 14 points with Adelaide Stevenson also in double figures with 10.

The Redhawks fell to 4-3.

Viewmont

Viewmont defeated Weber 69-40 Dec. 12. The Vikings came out strong – going up 10 after the first quarter and 17 by halftime – before scoring 37 second-half points to cruise to the win over the Warriors.

“I felt like we played as close to a complete game as we have all season thus far, although we still have plenty to work on and get better,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We did a good job at sharing the basketball and getting the ball to the open player. We had a season-high 19 assists on the night which means we were playing as a team. We had several players knock down threepoint shots and grab a lot of rebounds.”

Kristina Gunnell’s 19 points led the way with Mary Carr and Karissa Goff

also in double figures with 17 and 11 points, respectively. Also adding offense were Mara Mickelson (eight points), Sophie Gold (seven), Aubrey Mulitalo (five) and Kailey Selleneit while Callie Peterson was tops on the boards with 12 rebounds.

Against Skyline Dec. 14, Viewmont lost 51-41. The Vikings were down 2714 at halftime and, despite outscoring the Eagles in the second half, it wasn’t enough in the 10-point loss.

“We started off really slow and never really gained any traction until the second half,” said Gardner. “We got down by 18 in the third quarter and then we were able to cut that deficit to four points, but every time we made a run they hit a three-pointer to extend their lead. Ultimately, we fell short and Skyline did what they needed to do to win.”

Carr had 12 points and 12 rebounds with Mulitalo adding nine points and 10 boards.

Viewmont is now 4-4 on the year.

Woods Cross

Fifth-ranked Woods Cross defeated Hunter 45-32 Dec. 13, getting out to a good start and holding an eight-point lead by halftime. The Wildcats held the Wolverines to single-digit scoring in three of the game’s four quarters in the 13-point win.

Katie King had 19 points to lead Woods Cross while Mari Nichols and Grace MacArthur also scored in double figures with 11 points. Kiyomi Tauataina and Avery Poulton both had two points as well in the win.

Against 6A’s fourth-best squad in Copper Hills Dec. 15, the Wildcats lost 57-32. Woods Cross was down seven points at the break but scored just five points in the third – while the Grizzlies had 15 – as Copper Hills pulled away.

“This game did not go well,” said head coach David Simon. “We played a pretty good first half and then came unraveled in the second half. We didn’t execute well and we turned the ball over a lot. Copper Hills is a really good team so they deserve credit as well.”

Nichols’ 11 points were tops for the Wildcats in the loss.

“We as coaches are committed to help the girls get better and they want to be better as well,” Simon said.

Woods Cross is now 3-2 this year.

Farmington

Farmington lost in overtime to Murray 47-42 Dec. 12. The Phoenix squad went up early, holding a four-point advantage after the first quarter before the Spartans went up one by the break.

Farmington again regained control of the game, going up five points heading into the final quarter before Murray equalized to send the matchup into extra time.

The Spartans outscored the Phoenix by five in overtime to pull out the win.

The Eagles longer reach and “Longball” shooting with eight Treys kept the game out of reach for the Vikings, losing 41 - 51 in non-Region play.

Brynn Ryan and Morgan Rogers led offensively with 17 and 14 points, respectively.

Against Spanish Fork Dec. 14, Farmington lost 28-17. The Phoenix team again came out strong, holding a 9-2 lead after one and four at halftime.

But, the Dons outscored Farmington 14-2 in the third quarter to take control of the game and held the Phoenix girls to just three points in the second half.

Jazmin Spence led the team with seven points in the loss.

Against Northridge Dec. 15, Farmington lost 48-38. It was a low-scoring

or the past several seasons, the Viewmont wrestling program has been one of the top in the state. With consistently strong showings in tournaments, including state meets, the expectations are always high for the Vikings.

This season is no different, and Viewmont hasn’t disappointed.

Under head coach Luke Gibbs, the Vikings have had some success in the early part of the 2023–24 campaign. The Vikings hosted the Viewmont Invitation-

al, Dec. 16, 17.

With a gathering of 21 schools from across the state and region, Viewmont performed admirably against tough competition from various classifications. The Vikings placed sixth in the invitational, earning 117 points. Viewmont trailed only Bear River, Box Elder, Riverton, Evanston (Wyoming) and Corner Canyon, all deep and talented squads.

Several wrestlers came up big at the tournament.

Tate Ripplinger took first in the 138-pound class. Coming in with a 16-4 record, he won by fall over Landon Child of Northridge, pinning him in 3:53. Rip-

Rogers led Farmington with nine points.

The Phoenix squad is still looking for its first win through seven games this year.l

CHILLY AND CHEERFUL HIKERS make their way across Antelope Island during one of the First Day of the New Year hikes hosted there.

Step into 2024 the right way on Antelope Island

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com ANTELOPE ISLAND—At a time when many in Davis County are fastening their doors and shutters, and turning up the thermostat, there’s an event going on that encourages people to get outside, and enjoy the great outdoors in a very unique way. Antelope Island, along with other state and national parks, is hosting a First Day of the New Year hike, and it’s something people won’t want to miss. “(It’s) starting the New Year off on the right foot,” said Park Naturalist Trish Ackley, who has, herself been an organizer and participant for around 10 years now.

Regardless of the weather, which can be and often has been inclement, to say the least, people turn out, and ring in the New Year in one of the healthiest ways possible, “even in white-out conditions!” said Ackley.

The hike isn’t just about hiking either.

Groups that participate in the First Day Hike will have the opportunity to see some amazing scenery around the island, as well as some natural, freshwater springs.

The plan, says Ackley, is to change it up and educate the public on something new and different each year. This year’s topic?

The watershed in Utah, and the Great Salt Lake.

Though the Great Salt Lake benefited greatly from the huge water year in 20222023, there’s still a long way to go to see

this essential part of the ecosystem heal and get back to sustainable levels. Programs like those put on by Ackley and others go a long way to helping residents understand just where the water in Utah comes from, and why it’s important to conserve this valuable natural resource.

With programs like these going on all around the state, Ackley admits that she is a little biased toward Antelope Island, “I just love our park!” she said, “I think it’s the best,” and this hike will offer a great way to see the park in a way that many aren’t able to. Preparation, however, is key.

While many in the state may be familiar with summer hiking, winter hiking brings its own set of unique challenges.

“Dress for the elements,” said Ackley, encouraging hikers to wear layers, shoes with traction, plenty of water, and sunscreen, “sunscreen is important, even in the winter.” The hike this year is three miles, round trip, so although it’s no backpacking trip, it’s not going to be a quick stroll in the park either, so hikers are encouraged to prepare accordingly. However, hikers are welcome to come and go as they please, “you’re not stuck with us,” said Ackley.

Pets on leash are welcome to this event which promises to be a great way to start 2024, and for those still on the fence, Ackley encourages, “Just come out. It’s so fun.” Details about timing and more can be found on the Antelope Island State Park website, at https://stateparks.utah.gov/ parks/antelope-island/.

The holiday season is nearly upon us. This is the time of year when grieving people often feel dread and sorrow about the very events and traditions that formerly brought happiness.

As every grieving person handles loss in their own way, each one of us observes holidays in our own way in time of bereavement. There simply is no one right way to experience the holidays. Some find meaning in following cherished traditions, and others benefit from avoiding traditions because their associations are now tinged with loss. Some people find great comfort in being with other people, others prefer solitude to camaraderie. For all of us, how we gather is as important as gathering at all.

Plan ahead for the holidays: The first step in planning is to listen to yourself….what will help you most at this time? You may have strong memories and powerful feelings. Accept this as normal, but prepare for it. Anticipate the pleasures and the stresses of events, and select those you want to participate in. If you expect to be lonely, arrange supportive companionship. If you can’t bear the thought of connecting with the entire extended family, let the family know of your needs. Be creative and accept support by using distance technology.

Accommodate your plans to your new limits: Most grieving people have significantly lowered physical stamina and emotional reserve. Perhaps you can’t get every decoration out this year. Accept these limits as temporary, and good enough for this year. Choose to put your energy into the things that matter most to you.

If the holidays have always been hard for you: Use this transition in your life to try something completely new…an untraditional-tradition. Perhaps you have never taken the occasion create a new experience on your own. As challenging as loss can be, it can bring momentum to grow and to try something new.

For all of us, whether the holidays are a time of personal significance or not, it can be a season in which we reflect on what we do cherish as we journey through grief.

Accept that the holidays will be different this year: The holidays are often filled with unrealistic expectations that may overwhelm you. You may need to revisit your goals and find a balance between continuity and change. Many people find a special comfort in establishing a new holiday tradition that honors the memory of the person who died.

Recognize that other family members or friends may have struggles, too: Look for opportunities to discuss your feelings and wishes with others who may also be grieving for your family member. Try to respect their choices, if they are different from yours. You all may need to make compromises.
