HILL AEROSPACE MUSEUM –

The new L.S. Skaggs Hangar at the Hill Aerospace Museum just had its first week open to the public, and already guests have been in for a treat. The new space brings with it new aircraft displays of course, but has also allowed for the improvement of existing exhibits as the museum continues to improve and develop.

“Each one of the aircraft has their own story,” said Aaron Clark, director of the museum, saying that this new expansion makes it possible not only to display these aircraft but to “expand on airmen’s stories we’ve been unable to tell.” These stories cover the service of men and women in the Armed Forces dating back to the first days of the base and early aviation, and, as Clark explained, it’s not just an impressive assortment of aircraft, “They each have a connection to Utah and to Hill aviation history.”

One such example of a strong Utah connection is the upcoming exhibit featuring nose art of the 509th Composite Group, which was activated and trained at Wendover Army Airfield, Utah. Designed and built by industrial and engineering students, and painted by local artists, the gallery is closely connected to Utah aviation history and shows, in living color those paintings created by those men and women decades ago.

The new hangar has paved the way for many such improvements, making it possible to move many exterior aircraft indoors to better maintain them, freeing up space around the museum, and creating space for new acquisitions like an F-22 Raptor, recently acquired by the museum after it was damaged by Hurricane Michael. The museum team recovered the F-22, demilitarized it, brought it

Davis, Bountiful boys volleyball sweep opponents

By Catherine Garrett

Bountiful, the third-ranked team in 5A, and Davis, who is third in the Region 1 standings, swept their opponents this week as the boys volleyball regular season is coming to a close. Viewmont also won both of its matches and Farmington also picked up a win.

Bountiful

Bountiful beat Northridge 25-9, 2515, 25-18 on Senior Night April 30. Connor Burleson led with nine kills while Mason Allen, Landon Chism and Aidan Sanford combined for 18 more. Burleson and Evans both served up five aces while Evans ran the offense with 17 assists. On the defensive side, Vicente Perez recorded 10 digs and Sanford had three blocks.

The Redhawks recognized seniors Allen, Perez, Trevor Cummings, Stuart Kisby and Nate Rasch.

LAYTON—Intermountain Health is celebrating the one-year anniversary of its new Remote Operations Center (ROC) that has saved more than a half million dollars through tracking and monitoring energy use at larger facilities, including Intermountain Layton Hospital.

Billions of data points are used by the ROC system to track energy use and find inefficiencies in the systems that are not working, an Intermountain Health release said. Inefficiencies can be hard to find in a large facility like a hospital and aren’t always noticed until something breaks down.

“To keep a large building comfortable for patients it

“We had a great night celebrating our first senior class of our UHSAA-sanctioned boys volleyball,” said head coach Sarah Chism. “They have been trailblazers and leaders. We will miss them all, but wish them the best with their bright futures!”

Against Box Elder May 2, Bountiful also won in three sets 25-17, 25-13, 2514.

The Redhawks remain undefeated through 13 Region 5 matches and are 20-6 overall.

the savings and solutions designed to help companies reach their long-term goals.”

In one instance a glitch was discovered by the ROC in a boiler that was rapidly turning on and off to maintain temperatures at a medical clinic, the release said. In addition to wasting energy, it was also leading to a catastrophic failure of the boiler. Maintenance crews were able to fix the problem because they discovered it early on.

The ROC is in use at 18 Intermountain health facilities in Utah and Idaho but is expected to expand to 30 by the end of 2025, according to the release.

“In the first year the center saved around $300,000 in gas and electricity cost, with other savings coming from extended equipment life, and utility incentives.”l

‘Sound the Alarm’ program offers free smoke detector installation

By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com

DAVIS COUNTY—The American Red Cross is “sounding the alarm” to encourage homeowners to check their smoke detectors and create an escape plan to ensure all family members get out safe in the event of a fire. As part of the Sound the Alarm initiative, Red Cross volunteers will come out and install free smoke detectors and help families make an escape plan.

“A home fire is the largest disaster we respond to,” said Michael Smauldon, Executive Director Northern Utah/ Southwest Wyoming. “It’s sad. For the person who has the fire that’s their disaster happening. Often we notice that they don’t have working smoke alarms.”

The Red Cross offers comfort care and any mental health help needed, he said. “When we ask if their smoke detector was working, a lot say they weren’t. Sadly when we respond some fires have resulted in fatalities. They didn’t have to pass away if they’d had a working smoke detector.”

It’s not just a working smoke detector that’s important, said Smauldon. “They also need a plan to get out of the home in two minutes or less. Homes are built with more flammable materials. They used to use brick but now it’s wood. They tend to go up in flames more than older ones. Fire tends to spread faster.”

Teams of six volunteers go out once a week and set up a time to install the detectors and help the homeowners make an escape plan, he said. “The volunteers have dedicated their time every week to go out and do that. They do this all year round. Everyone is eligible.”

Last year the Red Cross held a Sound the Alarm event in Layton, Smauldon said. “We worked with Layton City,

the mayor and emergency management partner. We’re looking for another community” to hold an event.

Volunteers go into the home and if they already have one and it’s older than 10 years they replace it or replace the batteries, he said. “If they have a working detector they sit down to make an escape plan to get out of every room and a place to meet.”

People get separated and they all get out but they’re on different sides of the home, said Smauldon. “They rush back in to save them. Sadly they lose their life even though all of them got out. We just want to avoid tragic events like that.”

Smauldon said if an alarm is older than 10 years they suggest replacing it. “New smoke detectors are either hardwired and they don’t have batteries or others have lithium batteries. They last for 10 years and you don’t have to change them. You should test them twice a year.”

Sometimes the detectors with regular batteries start to chirp when they’re low, he said. “People take out the battery to stop it and then they no longer have a working detector in the home.”

With the lithium batteries homeowners know that their smoke detector is going to last for 10 years, said Smauldon. “There’s a silence button so if it goes off while you’re cooking you can silence it then they tend not to take the batteries out of the unit.”

There’s no reason for someone not to have a working smoke alarm in their home, he said. “If you need a smoke alarm, reach out and if you need help making a plan our volunteers are happy to come out and do that with you.”

To register to have someone come out and install smoke detectors go to redcross.org/Utah or call 801-627-0000.l

SOUND THE ALARM events offer homeowners information on safety plans and smoke detectors.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

1924

Davis County officers called to raid Park City

At the request of officials of Summit County or Park City that Governor Mabey have officers sent to Park City to raid the town, twenty-one men were sent from this county and other localities, last Saturday to make a raid on the town for liquor. Sheriff Mann and deputies Burnett and Van Fleet and Marshal Lawson were among those who went. They swooped down on the local officers first and made them go with them so they could not notify those who were selling liquor.

1934

Rural homes need water systems, survey shows

One of the greatest needs of rural Utah is an adequate and sanitary water system for the farm home. This need was revealed by a housing survey, a CWA project, recently conducted in this state under the supervision of Mrs. Rena B. Maycock of the Utah State Agricultural College Extension Service. Records show that 2,353 families of the 6020 homes surveyed, carry their water supply for the home from sources a few feet to as far as four miles distant.

1944

Four brothers service in Armed Forces

Mr. and Mrs. A.J. Mercer of Bountiful have four sons in the Armed Forces.

Sergeant Richard J. Mercer, 21, arrived in England recently to fulfill assignments in the intelligence division of the army. The youngest of the four, Edward A. (Ted) Mercer, 19, entered the service in May 1943 and has recently graduated from gunnery school at Victorville, Cal. Second Lieutenant Kay L. Mercer, 27, won his wings from Hondo Army Airfield, Texas, and is now home on a short furlough. Captain Marne L. Mercer, 23, studied engineering for four years at the University of Utah. Enlisting in December 1941, he has been overseas since March.

1954

City marshal sets strict enforcement on fireworks use

Any person with fireworks in his possession will be arrested, according to

MArshal Turner Burningham. The law has been in effect against fireworks for some time, and will be strictly enforced this year, he said. Those arrested will be required to pay fines.

Marshal Burningham also said he had directed the station master at Woods Cross to return all fireworks being sent to Bountiful residents. The law makes it illegal to send the explosives into the state, as well as use them.

1964

Davis population slips over 84,000

Rapid growth in Utah’s population since 1960 has leveled off.

Profound changes are taking place in Utah’s birthrate, which fell from 33 per 1000 of the total population in 1947 to 26 in 1963, according to the State Department of Health statistics.

This means the excess of births over deaths during 1963 was 1000 less than experienced the past few years, according to a report on estimated Utah population released this week by the Bureau of Economic and Business Research, College of Business, University of Utah.

1974

Need more cars for tunnel

Bountiful’s dream to build a tunnel road connecting south Davis County with Salt Lake City may never become a reality – but at least it got people talking about the dire need for another northsouth traffic route.

Gov. Calvin L. Rampton said the $112 million proposed tunnel, “is not justified on a const-benefit ratio and there are other roads of more pressing needs right now.”

1984

Sewer plant: too much

WEST BOUNTIFUL – The high water table caused by the rise of the Great Salt Lake is literally “knocking the needle off the gauge” at the north plant of the South Davis Sewer Improvement District.

Gary Hales, plant superintendent, said the facility at about 1800 W. 12000 N. West Bountiful, was constructed in 1962 for an average daily flow of 5.35 million gallons. Built into the plant were an additional one million gallons for “we weather flow” – or a total average daily flow of 6.35 million.

Summer is coming how to stay safe when hiking

By Bailey Chism bailey.c@thecityjournals.com

Withwarmer weather in the forecast, that means more opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. But that could come at a cost if you’re not prepared.

The reminder comes after a hiker was reported missing after going for a hike on the Fernwood Trail in Layton. He has since been found safe and unharmed, but that’s not always the case for everyone.

It’s important to learn how to be prepared this time of year because different trails can bring different outcomes for hikers.

Jared Sano, second vice commander of the Davis County Search and Rescue, said to remember to check the forecast before heading out for a hike. Knowing what to expect from the weather will help when preparing to leave and knowing what supplies to bring.

Before leaving for a hike, be sure to let someone know where you are going and what your plan is going to be. If no one knows what time you plan on being back, no one will know you’re missing until it’s been too long.

Sano said it should be easy to tell if you’re still on the trail by looking at the path you’re on. If it’s worn down and looks well-traveled, you are on the right path. For more popular trails, you’ll most likely pass other hikers and know

where you’re on the right trail. Depending on the hike, it’s important to pack plenty of water or a water filter, food, extra clothes and items to keep you warm, maybe even something to start a fire. These items can help you survive for a day or night or if you get lost.

Another important step is to keep an eye on your phone signal. Lots of hikes in the area lose signal and you may not be able to call anyone if you need to. Knowing where you have a signal will help if you need to call for help immediately.

When search and rescue teams get a call for a lost hiker, the first thing they’ll do is try and get in contact with you. Making sure your phone is charged and has service is important because that will help the team find you.

“With technology now we can ping their cell phones and we can get a pretty good location of where they're at,” Sano said.

They’ll ask you to describe your surroundings, where you started your hike, how far into the trail you think you are, and what you have with you. An important thing to remember if you get lost is to stay where you are. Instead of trying to find your way back, sit and wait for the rescue team to pick you up.

While it’s easier said than done, try not to panic. Davis County Search and Rescue will get to you quickly and bring all the resources you need. l

OPINION

One of the greatest transitions in life is when we stop running from the darkness and start moving toward the light. It’s a developmental process in which we move from uncertainty to acceptance, from hesitancy to confidence, and from a fear-based existence, to one of greater faith.

It’s important to remember that we have always managed everything that has happened to us in the past, and we will always be able to do so in the future. Either by ourselves or with the help of those around us, we will manage it. Life is full of lessons, but sometimes we’re slow to catch on. Whether we’re talking about ourselves, or our kids, or our grandkids, we seem to be willing to tolerate a tremendous amount of pain, before we change our course. Even with all of this, we’re taught that the transitions will guide us through the periods of uncertainty.

Apparently, when we mismanage our lives, or when we settle for less, we need to remember that life is a process, and while it may be painful, it will all be worth it. There will be transitions that will enable us to learn and rise above our challenges. There will be periods of loss and confusion and uncertainty, and there will be trials and transitions that will enable us to learn and rise above them, and that’s important because while faith doesn’t make it easy, it makes it possible.

Abraham Maslow wrote: “A musician must make music, an artist must create, and a poet must write if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. What a man can be, he must be.”

When this piece of philosophy is applied to us, it becomes clear that all that we can be, we must be. As Richard Eyre wrote, “To those who believe in Eternity, and who don’t give up, there is no failure, there is only delay.” Life is a process, and it’s going to hurt, but it will all be worth it. There will be transitions that will enable us to learn and rise above our challenges, and at times, it may almost seem that our faith is all that we have to hold onto, but that’s good because even

though faith doesn’t make it easy, it makes it possible.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to develop bad habits?

Transitions

The opinions stated in these articles are solely those of the authors and not of the Davis Journal.

All we have to do is follow the path of least resistance; just go with the flow. As we do so, we often lose our fear of the unhealthy parts of life, resulting in a desensitization to the negative forces. For the most part, we may not even be aware of the negative consequences until we find ourselves overwhelmed. The forbidden becomes familiar, the familiar becomes normal, and the negative consequences of these patterns are often denied or ignored. “Just this once” becomes “Just once more.” Self-defeating patterns become established, habits become addictions, and the pain, guilt, and deception increase geometrically.

Fortunately, since failure is frequent in the early stages of reformation, the pain of failure becomes increasingly intolerable. Ironically, these failures serve as the prerequisites that lead to a recognition of the need for total abstinence, not because of the rightness of the choice, but because of the cumulative pain. Eventually, confidence expands, and a commitment materializes. The freedom that may have been previously only dreamed becomes a possibility, and then a reality.

As a change of heart develops, new choices are made, and changes occur. The euphoria of freedom is experienced, and the commitment to freedom is chosen as a way of life.

Generally, to every problem in life, there is a beginning, a middle, and an end. Self-worth seldom goes away completely, but it can be forgotten or overlooked. The solution? Feel the feeling and change the thought. Pain is unavoidable but continued suffering usually diminishes with time. A wide variety of symptoms can materialize, but symptoms are simply messages that are not understood. Once those messages are

understood, they become easier to manage. While the time frame is different for everyone, generally, no problem will destroy every part of life, unless we give it the power. So, if we don’t want to slip, logic states, don’t walk in slippery places. However, if we keep on doing what we’ve done, we’ll probably keep on getting what we’ve got.

To assume that life isn’t the way it should be, and to be angry because of that assumption, is merely to state that our perception is imperfect. In reality, everything has its own time and season, and there is purpose, reason, and wisdom in all that touches our lives, but perception is imperfect, and we are usually unable to fully comprehend the significance of life. That life isn’t the way it should be is merely to state that our perception is imperfect, and we are usually unable to fully comprehend the significance of life. At times, we may get a glimpse of understanding, but it usually doesn’t last. In fact, it seems to evaporate, leaving the fear, anger, and insecurity of our present condition.

Fortunately, we don’t have to have it all right now. Growth and development take time. It has taken a lifetime to get to where we are, and it will probably take the rest of our lives to get to where we want to be. So, we need to accept ourselves as we are right now and become your own chief competitor. For in the race of life, it’s better to be better than we were, than to be better than anyone else is.

Success in this process seems to depend on three things: Knowing what’s too much for us, knowing what’s too little, and knowing what’s just right. It’s all part of the process of growing into who we really are. While life is for learning, we don’t always learn what we want to, in the way we want to, or when we want to. The key is to take our experience in whatever form it comes, discover its

significance, discover our significance, and then use that knowledge to make a difference. That seems to be a part of our ultimate destiny. While destiny leads some, it often drags the rest of us, kicking and screaming! Let’s face it, sometimes it seems to be a crazy world, but no one ever said it would be easy. So, since life is probably just the way it’s supposed to be, accept it as it is, make the most of it, and do what you can, in spite of what you can’t. Your happiness depends on it. Your sanity hangs in the balance. So, don’t worry, be happy, because at least for the time being, this life is as good as it gets. Dare to do mighty things. Dare to be bold. Dare to outgrow your previous self. Dare to redefine yourself. Dare to know what you want. Dare to be and dare to become. Dare to have courage, and dare to do what must be done. Life isn’t always fair so, adapt. Make peace with your past so it doesn’t destroy your present. Hate makes people sick, so forgive everyone everything. You don’t have to win every argument. If a relationship has to be kept secret, you shouldn’t be having it. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. Whatever other people think of you is none of your business. Time heals almost everything, so give time, time. Don’t take yourself too seriously. However good or bad a situation is, it’ll change. Believe in miracles. The best is yet to come.

Gain some control over your life

Feeling like you have some control over your life is vital for life happiness.

Control is not always easy. It takes planning, sacrifice, work and good fortune.

Lots of things can happen in life that will shake the earth beneath our feet. Illness, weather disaster, a bad accident, and stupid mistakes. We are all vulnerable to any and all of these.

Considering anything can happen in life and chances are it will, we can all still make an effort to be in control of our daily lives.

First, know who you are and build on who you are. There is only one you and there will never be another like you. Chances are you may have become a clone. You started out as an original but became someone else. You may have redesigned your life to be accepted by a certain workforce, group, religious entity, fraternity, sorority, or political party mindset. This works for a while but you won’t be very happy because it requires more work to not be you than it takes

Voting is the duty of every American citizen. We have a responsibility to our country to vote. We were built on the idea of every voice mattering and having a say in the government. It is disrespectful to our founders and our ancestors who didn't have a voice and fought to give us one if we choose not to exercise that right. The election of 2024, however, is shaping up to be a very difficult election.

The last thing America needs is a repeat of 2020. With COVID, the war in Ukraine, and George Floyd’s death, 2020 was a difficult year. America was fragmented more than ever. This was also reflected in the 2020 election. People were pitted against each other. You were on one side or the other. There was

to just be you. This doesn’t mean that you can’t be a better you. We all can and should strive to be better, smarter, and the best we can be. Being lazy, irresponsible, and ignorant are sure ways to not feel good or very secure in life. Life security and a feeling of having control over our lives require work and living higher. Living lower will sink you. Build on who you are for success and happiness.

Next, you have to work. Yes, we have to work. It’s essential to life security. The person who can work and wants to work will feel better and sleep better. There are all kinds of work and not every kind of work is for everyone. Discover what kind of work you enjoy and can do and learn to do it as well as you can. Working will give you a feeling of well-being. Millions of people in America can’t work for various reasons. Disability happens, millions are hand-

no in-between and no reconciliation between parties.

Teens voting for the first time are in a tough position. It seems there are no good options. Both probable candidates are over 75 years old: How can people of that age relate to the younger generation? How can they reflect our needs?

icapped by various health-related issues. Our country helps millions with Social Security disability and Medicare. At least with these government assistance programs, people have something on which to survive. Keep in mind that a disability income is never a ticket to prosperity. What you can afford will be very limited. However, I do know people who have done well investing in the stock market even on a limited disability income and have done amazingly well financially. Keep in mind if you are going to make a house or car payment it requires a serious income and a paying job. Try to lock into a job that you enjoy and can do. Third, save money and stay out of debt as much as possible. Buy a house you can afford and save some money every month in an IRA or 401k or whatever is available to you. Research index funds and consider buying some

As an 18-year-old voter, I worry about the next four years. I worry about this election. I want a candidate that can represent me.

Looking back on previous elections and candidates, modern America is

very different. Parties used to work together for the betterment of the people. They were capable of recognizing what needed to be done regardless of the mouth that said it was lined in blue or red. Now, they work against each other, each trying to further their own agenda and not furthering what America needs. America was built on strong foundations of unity and equality. We rise and fall together. We have worked hard to give everyone a voice because 246 years ago, we had none. George Washington warned in his

stock in an index fund as you can. Index fund fees are typically cheaper. I’m not a stock advisor so do your own investigating. A school teacher friend bought index fund stocks every month for years and ended up with over a million dollars in stock by her retirement. Money isn’t everything but you’ll sleep better if you know you can buy groceries tomorrow and can pay your utility bills.

Finally, take a few minutes every morning and at the end of the day to be grateful. Give God thanks for all and anything you have and ask him to give you strength, wisdom and peace for the day or throughout the night.

farewell address against political parties and the divisions they cause. Abraham Lincoln emphasized the importance of maintaining the union and fought his hardest to preserve it. Would they like what they see now? Is this the America they fought for?

America is in a downward spiral of divisiveness. Families, friends, and neighbors are divided on political views. Their relationships are ruined. I’ve seen it within my own family.

I hope that this country can look inward and find that we are all Americans. We are all trying our best. I hope my generation can fix the mess we’ve inherited. I hope that we can unify ourselves again and work towards a better future. l

back to Hill, and restored it for the public to see and enjoy. “We’ve taken the museum business very seriously,” said Clark, and with all the improvements, it shows.

The L.S. Skaggs Hangar features an impressive collection of aircraft including several iconic F-16s, the F-22 mentioned above, an SR-71 Blackbird, an F-117 Nighthawk, a U-2 “Dragon Lady” spy plane, and many other unique and impressive aircraft, all with ties to

Utah and to Hill. Each of these aircraft has been, or is in the process of being lovingly restored, including things like the tail art, or bomb bay door art like in the Nighthawk, bringing to the surface once more the human aspect, or as Clark put it, “The airman’s touch.”

Walking around the other displays in the museum, the new displays in the L.S. Skaggs Hangar may look a little sparse, but, says Clark, that is by design. In addition to looking for feedback from the public, Clark says that the current layout allows for room to grow and expand,

and to let the displays evolve naturally and organically over the years. “It gives us space for decades of storytelling to evolve,” said Clark.

From the new and restored aircraft in the recently opened hangar to the old favorites being given a new life around the museum, Hill’s dedication to preserving the aviation heritage of Utah is nothing short of inspiring. It’s that commitment that recently earned the Hill Aerospace Museum accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums, and has really furthered its mission “to educate and

inspire all ages through history, with a focus on the United States Air Force, Hill Air Force Base, Utah Aviation, and unique learning experiences.”

The Hill Aerospace Museum is open Tuesday through Saturday, from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm, and is free to the public.

Service under scrutiny – the 442nd Infantry Regiment

By Braden Nelsen braden.n@mycityjournals.com

DAVIS COUNTY—For those who served in the 442nd Infantry Regiment in World War II, there were familiar images of leaving home: bidding goodbye to mother and father, shaking hands, hugging, and tears, as they hefted a duffel over their shoulder and left for war. What was unique to their situation, however, is that many left a home that wasn’t their own, and waved goodbye to their family from the opposite side of a barbed wire fence.

At the start of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month, it’s imperative to remember the sacrifices of so many, especially in the face of such harsh discrimination, such sacrifice which earned the 442nd the distinction of the most decorated unit in the war. The uphill climb for many of those of the 442nd began shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 by the Empire of Japan.

Following the attack, confusion, fear, paranoia, and anger swept the nation. The United States was facing an enemy that utilized modern technology, with an almost medieval mindset in their devotion to the emperor, and emphasis on honor and dishonor. It was something that the majority of Americans, including President Roosevelt, didn’t understand, and with that misunderstanding, came fear, and prejudice.

President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 which allowed for the forcible internment of “all persons deemed a threat to national security” from the West Coast. Though the order used general language, and some people of German or Italian descent were interred, the vast majority were of Japanese descent. Before the end of the war, 125,000 people would be taken from their homes and businesses and put behind barbed

Many first-generation Japanese-Americans, or Nisei, felt the urge to serve in the Armed Forces and prove that, despite what their government thought, they were loyal to the United States. In 1943, an entire Nisei regiment was organized, and the 442nd Infantry Regiment began their service. It wasn’t long before their motto “Go for Broke” and their nickname of the “Purple Heart Regiment” proved to their fellow servicemen, these weren’t halfhearted draftees or enlistees: they had something to prove.

Among the thousands that served in the 442nd, there were more than a few from Utah, including Toe and John Sueo Nakaishi, and Kozo Yamane from Davis County. As mentioned above, the intense combat seen, and outstanding service rendered by the men of the 442nd earned them the title of the most decorated unit in the war. All told, by 1945, the men of the 442nd had earned 21 Medals of Honor, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, 371 Silver Stars, 22 Legion of Merit medals, 15 Soldier’s medals, 4,000 Bronze Stars, over 4,000 Purple Hearts, and more.

Despite the prejudice that prevailed, the 442nd, including those from Davis, and around the state showed outstanding courage, and conviction in fighting against fascism. The legacy of the 442nd is just one of the many aspects of Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month that can and should be celebrated and commemorated, especially as Memorial Day approaches as well. l

Farmington boys soccer wins Region 1, earns top seed in state tournament

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

The Farmington boys soccer team

captured the Region 1 championship with an impressive 9-1 record. The team’s reward: a first-round bye and top seed in the Class 6A state tournament.

Farmington will host a second-round playoff game May 14, taking on the winner of Layton and Westlake. The Phoenix have already faced Region 1 foe Layton twice this season. The two teams last met April 19, with Farmington winning 3-1. However, on March 27, the Lancers handed the Phoenix their only loss of the season, winning in a shootout after a 0-0 game. Farmington hasn’t faced Westlake this season.

The Phoenix ended the season with a pair of wins—one a close call and the other a blowout.

On May 1, Farmington nearly saw its seven-game winning streak come to an end at home against Weber. Kolson Helquist scored off a Jackson Cheney assist in the second half, matching Weber’s output in regulation. Neither team

scored in the two overtime periods.

The shootout displayed goalkeeper Jaxon Beynon’s skill.

Beynon stopped four Weber shots and didn’t allow a single penalty kick past him. Farmington, meanwhile, made three kicks to prevail and move to 12-1 on the year.

Farmington’s regular season went out with a bang.

The Phoenix blew past Syracuse 5-1 on May 3, with three goals coming in the first half. Four players scored for Farmington, with Josh Foster leading the way with a pair of goals. Jake Peterson, Mac Jensen and Cheney also scored. Helquist, Cole Janke and Alex Gray got assists. The offensive output was the best of the season. The team’s previous high in goals was three, which it accomplished three times.

The Phoenix had plenty of contributors during the regular season. Foster paced the team with seven goals, while Janke was the team’s leader in assists with five. Cheney had five goals, and Toby Grant chipped in four. Jack Burrup added four assists. Defensively, Beynon posted five shutouts. By surrendering

just 10 goals during the regular season, Farmington allowed the fewest goals in all of 6A. That effort was fourth-best in the state.

If Farmington gets past Layton or Westlake in the state tournament, it will take on Salt Lake Academy or Skyridge in the quarterfinals May 16 at home.

Davis

The Darts had some struggles this season but still did enough to secure a first-round bye. However, Davis must travel to Fremont on May 14 for a second-round clash against a familiar foe.

Davis and Fremont met twice this season as Region 1 opponents. Davis lost to the Silverwolves 3-2 on May 1 and 1-0 on April 12. Davis finished the regular season with an overall mark of 5-8 and went 3-7 in league play, placing fifth.

To finish the regular season, Davis went 1-1. In the loss to Fremont last week, the Darts gave up all three goals in the second half after going into halftime up 1-0. The Darts added a second-half goal but couldn’t get the equalizer. Mark

Seelos and Graidey Arnell scored for Davis, with Noah Jolley and Miles Iverson getting assists. In the regular-season finale on May 3, Davis had its best offensive performance since March 27 when it erupted for five goals against Weber. This time around, Davis defeated Layton 4-2 at home. The Darts scored twice in each half to pick up the win. Bjorn Bergant had two goals, and Kyle Livermore and Ryder Goodyear each had one. Livermore also had two assists, as did Jolley. Heading into the state tournament, Bergant is the team’s leading scorer with four goals. The senior had two assists in the regular season as well. Iverson, Jolley and Braxton Passey had three goals. Livermore led the squad with five assists.

If Davis is able to get by Fremont for the first time this season, it will advance to the May 16 quarterfinals where it would play the winner of Pleasant Grove and Herriman. Davis is the No. 12 seed, so it would play on the road in the quarterfinals against Pleasant Grove; however, a game against No. 13 Herriman would be at home. l

Viewmont, Woods Cross boys soccer to tangle in state tournament; Bountiful gets ninth seed

By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com

For the third time this season, two crosstown rivals will meet on the soccer pitch. But this contest will be much more important.

Viewmont and Woods Cross will face one another on Thursday in the first round of the Class 5A state tournament. As the No. 11 seed, Viewmont will be the home team against the 22nd-seeded Wildcats.

The two meetings in the regular season were both 1-0 decisions, with each team winning once at home. Viewmont won the March 29 clash, while Woods Cross got revenge when the two teams met April 30. The Vikings placed fourth in Region 5 with an 8-6 mark; Woods Cross was sixth at 5-9. The winner of the

first-round game will advance to play at fellow Region 5 foe Box Elder on May 14 in the second round.

Viewmont ended the season by splitting its last two games.

The Vikings fell at Roy, 2-1 on May 3. Owen Hughes got a first-half goal for Viewmont, but the team couldn’t get the tying score. Two days later, however, the Vikings took care of Clearfield at home by the count of 3-1. Ashton Simpkins, Nathan Low and Hughes each scored for the Vikings. Sam Vanderlinden and Carson Lindquist assisted on goals. By the end of the regular season, Jacob Ramos led the team in scoring with nine goals. Nathan Pitt, Low and Vanderlinden each had three. Zach Andersen and Low were the leaders in assists with three each.

As for Woods Cross, the Wildcats lost their final two regular-season

games, both by one goal. The Wildcats came up short at Northridge on May 3, falling 2-1. Gage Gardner scored off an assist by Zach Despain in the second half, but it wasn’t enough. On May 7, Box Elder outlasted Woods Cross 3-2 on the Wildcats’ home field. In a losing cause, Woods Cross got both of its goals in the first half.

Bountiful

The Redhawks placed third in Region 5 with a 9-5 record. The team finished the regular season on a good note with a pair of wins.

Bountiful blanked Clearfield 2-0 on May 3, followed by a 1-0 shutout of Bonneville on May 7. Goalkeeper Nash McReynolds played well in both contests, getting the shutout credit. Thomas Thorne and Cody Forbes assisted on

BASEBALL BRIEFS

one another’s goals in the Clearfield win. Thorne then scored off a second-half assist from Giona Weston in the victory over Bonneville.

Bountiful heads into the playoffs with Thorne leading the way in both goals and assists. The senior has had a big year, compiling eight goals and six assists on the season. Forbes had five goals in the regular season, with Trent Millard and Elias Pacheco scoring four times.

The Redhawks host Cyprus on Thursday in the first round of the playoffs. A victory there would take the Redhaws to the second round where they would play at Brighton. Last season, Bountiful defeated Northridge in the first round of the 5A state tournament and then lost in a shootout to Murray in the second round. l

Aug. 1, 1939 ~ April 30, 2024

Linda Coombs Whitney, cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and educator, passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 30, 2024, at the age of 84. Linda faced her journey's end with grace after bravely battling health challenges. She was born on Aug. 1, 1939, in Tremonton, Utah, to Esther and Leo Coombs, and was the fifth of six children. Linda's journey through life was marked by dedication and service. She spent her childhood in Garland, Utah, where she balanced academics with farm work and sports. Linda graduated from Bear River High School in 1957, laying the foundation for her future academic achievements. She pursued higher education, graduating Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Science from Westminster College in 1978, and was a proud member of the Alpha Chi National Honor Society. Her passion for education led Linda to a fulfilling career as an educator. She began her teaching journey at Our Lady of Lourdes School in 1975 before transitioning to South Davis Jr High and later Davis High School, where she touched countless lives through her dedication to teaching and mentorship. Linda's impact extended beyond the classroom; she served as the advisor for the Davis High School Hockey Team, where she helped support them to a State Championship in 2001-2002. Her legacy of excellence and compassion in education will live on through the many students she inspired.

Outside of her profession, Linda's creative spirit flourished. She found joy in cooking, sewing, quilting, ceramics, painting, and gardening. Her green thumb transformed her surroundings into lush gardens, abundant fruit trees, and more grapes than one could possibly eat or can. Linda's adventurous soul led her to travel annually with loved ones, embracing new experiences and making cherished memories.

A devout member of her community and church, Linda volunteered at the Bountiful, Utah and Twin Falls, Idaho Temples of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was an active member of the Daughters of

Utah Pioneers. She radiated joy, infusing every gathering with her lively presence and sassy sense of humor.

Above all, Linda's heart belonged to her family. She cherished her role as a mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, finding joy in their every milestone and activity. Linda is survived by her sons, Chuck Whitney (Lorie, preceded Linda in death); Mark Whitney (Robbin); four grandchildren, Alex Whitney (Kylee); Andrew Whitney (Lea); Kendall Whitney; Kayla Whitney and one great-grandchild Nixon Whitney.

Linda will be forever cherished in the hearts of those she touched, remembered for her steadfast love, limitless kindness, unyielding spirit, and courageous determination. To all who knew her, she embodied the belief that nothing was beyond reach. Confronted with impossibility, she met it head-on, undeterred. May she rest in eternal peace, her memory a beacon of light for all who knew her.

A viewing service will be held on Friday, May 10, from 1:00-1:30 p.m. at Russon Brother Mortuaries, 1941 North Main St. Farmington, Utah where friends and loved ones can gather to honor Linda's remarkable life and legacy. Interment at Lindquist Cemetery, 1867 North Fairfield Rd. Layton, Utah

Aspiring homeowners face harsh reality as prices continue to rise

By Bailey Chism bailey.c@thecityjournals.com

Arecent

study uncovered the harsh reality for potential homebuyers in Utah: they now need a six-figure income to afford purchasing a home in the state. Just five years ago, they would’ve only needed an $80,000 salary.

According to a study by Bankrate. com, an aspiring homebuyer in Utah needs to make at least $134,000 per year to afford a house with a median price of $525,000, compared to 2020’s median home price of $345,200.

About half of the states in the U.S. now require a six-figure income to afford a home. Utah is near the top when it comes to states where the annual income needed to afford a house has increased the most since 2020.

“A combination of high mortgage rates, rising home prices and low housing inventory over the last two years is pushing homeownership further out of reach for would-be homeowners, especially first-timers,” the study said.

The housing market's struggles stem from a combination of factors, including an influx of cash-wielding West Coast buyers who bought houses in Utah before the pandemic. Then, pandemic-induced interest rate drops further led to a shortage of available housing. As interest rates rose in 2021 and 2022, buyers felt the squeeze of high home prices even more.

“For first-time buyers, the biggest struggle is affordability,” said Jeff Os-

trowski, Bankrate Housing Market Analyst. “Home prices are at record highs, and mortgage rates are above 7%, a combination that’s really squeezing the ability of first-time buyers to find something they can afford.”

And while home prices have gone up, wages haven’t been adjusted to match them. Wages grew 23 percent between the fourth quarter of 2019 and November 2023, according to a Center for American Progress analysis of Bureau of Labor Statistics data. It would require an almost 50 percent increase for most people in order to afford a house in Utah.

Ostrowski said lack of income was the biggest factor holding back aspiring homeowners. According to a survey done by Bankrate, 56 percent of survey-takers cited lack of income as the main factor for not buying a home, followed by home prices being too high at 47 percent, and not being able to afford a down payment and closing costs at 42 percent.

As the housing market continues to evolve, many Utahns find themselves grappling with the harsh reality that owning a home may be slipping further out of reach.

“It doesn’t seem likely that home prices will decline,” Ostrowski said. “Home prices have soared because there’s more demand than supply, and that’s not changing. Many homeowners are staying put because they don’t want to give up their 3% mortgages. And builders aren’t building enough to keep up with demand.” l
