BOUNTIFUL BOY SCOUT TROOPS PREPARE YOUNG MEN FOR LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE Byline

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

hen The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced in the spring of 2018 that it would sever ties with the Boy Scouts of America, scouts and leaders weren’t sure what to expect. Nearly 20% of BSA members were part of the church which provided a significant part of the organization's funding. The partnership that lasted more than a century, ended on Dec. 31, 2019. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints presented its own global youth program in 2020 and fans of scouting wondered if the BSA would survive. Farmington resident Rob Gomez was one of those worried parents. “A lot of people think scouting has kind of died,” he said, “but every time I go to meetings, the boys are there and they’re excited.” More than two years later, BSA is Continued page 4

Short term rentals given new rules in Bountiful By Tom Haraldsen | tom.h@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—The debate about how cities and towns can and should regulate housing in their communities has been a focus throughout Utah since HB 82 was passed by the state legislature in 2021. At the forefront of those debates are Accessory Dwelling Units, known as ADUs, and Short-Term Rentals (STRs). Last October, Bountiful amended its ADU ordinance in relation to its Land Use Code to bring it into compliance with HB 82. What hadn’t happened until last week was the creation of an ordinance on STRs. Following several months of discussion between city council and the city’s planning commission, and after a public hearing on April 26, council has approved an STR ordinance with substantial regulations. It overlaps with how ADUs work in relation to STRs. By definition, an accessory dwelling unit – a room or rooms within a residence that is rented for less than 30 consecutive days – is considered a short-term rental. They are granted by permit only, and those

permits must be reviewed in a public meeting by the Bountiful City Administrative Committee. At least 10 days before those hearings, property owners within 300 feet of that proposed SRT should be notified. Councilmember Kate Bradshaw ultimately made a motion with language for the new ordinance regarding short-term rentals. They are allowed only within single-family residential zones, residential multi-family zones and downtown mixed zones – nowhere else. STRs must comply with the ADU ordinance related to parking, must comply with the Noise Ordinance (no sound equipment between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.), and can’t exceed the International Building Code occupancy standards (one person per every 200 square feet). A Short-Term Rental Permit application will cost $225, and if the applicant already has an approved ADU, the cost would be $100. Comments among council members, as well as from residents during the public hearing on April 26, shed light onto concerns about STRs. “I don’t see the need

for an entire home to be used as an STR,” Councilmember Millie Segura Bahr said. “When homes are rented out for short periods of time, there’s constant turnover and it changes the dynamic of neighborhoods.” She said she was okay with ADUs used for short-term rentals, but not entire homes. She also sees no tourism demand in the city, and said “to allow STRs in entire homes in areas where residents bought homes with an expectation of non-commercial zoning seems like we’re changing the rules in the middle of the game.” Councilmember Cecille Price-Huish agreed, saying allowing entire homes to be used as STRs “makes them hotels of sorts. That’s not what neighbors want or what our zoning regulations intend for neighborhoods.” She expressed concern over the long term effect of allowing STRs in whole homes – with pressure already on for housing availability. Several residents also spoke up with similar concerns over “mini hotels” and “no desire to live in a hotel village” among com-

ments offered. City Planning Director Francisco Astorga reported that as of mid-April, Airbnb listed approximately 71 rentals in Bountiful, while VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owner) reported 22 rentals in the city. He said about one-half of one percent of homes in Bountiful would be considered STRs at that point. Then there’s the issue of enforcement of these new rules. City Attorney Clint Drake told the council that “code enforcement is largely complaint-driven, and the occupancy issue is nearly impossible to enforce.” City Manager Gary Hill added that the law prohibits a city official or police officer from entering a residence simply to check on occupancy, making enforcement of the occupancy ordinance problematic. Bradshaw made her motion for the ordinance, Councilmember Richard Higginson seconded it, and it passed 5-0. The ordinance took effect immediately.

leaders.” Based in Bountiful, Troop 220 has been around since 1954, and Brett Sutherland is the troop’s ninth scoutmaster. He got involved with scouting in junior high after he realized he needed a better group of friends. “Now, more than ever, [scouting] teaches youth how to make decisions,” Sutherland said. “I’ve been in scouting most of my life. I know it made a difference in my life.” Through a partnership with the Bountiful Elks Lodge (544 W. 400 North), the troop meets at the Elks’ building and the scouts help the Elks with its summer program, held at Camp Wapiti, for children struggling with serious illness. Scouts are encouraged to provide service

and often hold group service projects. They organize food drives, clean the cemetery on Veterans Day and set up flags at funerals for military veterans. “The way they advance through the ranks, every rank has service hours required,” Sutherland said. “I’m passionate about it but you have fun at the same time. They learn good lessons about being a good citizen.” Experiencing nature has always been a big part of scouting. Sutherland said, “If you take out the ‘outing’ there is no ‘scouting’.” Boys learn how to deal with inclement weather, practice life-saving skills and develop stewardship for the planet. The troop is non-denominational, accepting people from all faiths. Sutherland said funding for scouting pro-

grams has dropped significantly and the Boy Scout Council sold off some property to keep operating. But he’s optimistic that scouting programs will remain vibrant and vital to communities. Although no girls participate in Troop 220, troops for girls are available where they can earn Eagle Scout status and learn the principles of scouting. For more information, or to find a troop in your neighborhood, visit BeAScout.org. “Scouting in Utah is very healthy,” Sutherland said. “All of the scouts want to be here, and the parents and volunteer leaders all want to be here.” l

still around, providing opportunities for youth to learn leadership skills, build character, achieve goals, serve the community and develop a love for the outdoors. When Gomez moved his family from Colorado to Farmington, he wanted his son, Anthony, to be involved with a group that shared his same ideals of faith, community and service. He registered Anthony, now 14, for BSA and over the last eight years, he feels he made the right decision. “It makes him think about the world, not just himself,” Gomez said. “They develop into young men as they work through the ranks. They develop and think and learn how to be

Bountiful first-grader organizes the Active with Autism Fun Run By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

ven though Marcus Merkley is only 7 years old, he has some grown-up ideas about how to create connection and community. Marcus has autism and struggled with feelings of inadequacy in public school as he fell behind the other students. His parents made the decision to homeschool Marcus to help him gain confidence and motivation. His mom, Melanie Merkley, quit her job last fall and signed Marcus up with My Tech High, an organization that helps families create a tailor-made education program, catered to each child. “He has come so far and so fast,” Merkley said. “He went from below grade level in kindergarten to at or above grade level in his current first-grade level. He believes he is capable of anything and wants to be a scientist, adventurer, bodybuilder and a cop when he grows up.” My Tech High asked students to submit service project ideas and the organization would select a few projects it would fund with a small donation. Marcus had the idea to organize a fun run for kids with autism, where they could get a T-shirt and a medal, just like in a real race. His idea was selected and Marcus was given a $200 stipend to get the run started.

The Active with Autism Fun Run is a 1k for kids with autism. It will be held Saturday, June 25 at the West Bountiful City Park (550 W. 1600 N.), with start times beginning at 10 a.m. “It’s not a sanctioned event, it’s a community service project,” Merkley said. “I will probably stagger start times around the park. I don’t want these kids overwhelmed by standing in a crowd. He’s always been really concerned about the people around him. He’s so excited about it, I had to follow through because this was very important to him.” Because it’s a short run, it’s geared toward young children, but Merkley said she hasn’t set an age limit. “If the parents feel that this is something that would make their child feel accomplished, there’s no age requirement.” The $200 will cover costs for 10 participants, so Merkley set up a GoFundMe page to raise money so more kids can be involved. Visit gofund.me/79f54427 for more information, or to make a donation. “[Marcus] has never let autism hold him back and continues to believe he can do anything and everything,” Merkley said. “He wants to spread that positivity.” With a limited number of sporting

events geared toward children with autism, Marcus would like the fun run to become an annual event.

“I want the kids to feel special and strong,” he said. l

Bountiful resident to tour Germany and Czech Republic with the Augustana College Choir

he Augustana College Choir hasn’t been to Europe since 2018 when they toured and performed in Sweden. This year marks a return to travel abroad as the choir will perform concerts in Germany and the Czech Republic. Bountiful resident and soprano Madeleine Rodriguez will participate in her final concert before she graduates this year. This will be Rodriguez’s first time in Europe and her first concert tour for the college since 2019, when she performed with the Augustana Choir in the Midwest. All concerts in 2020 were canceled due to COVID-19. “Our director wanted to make sure we go to safe places based on COVID guidelines,” Rodriguez said. “We’ll perform five concerts and two additional concerts benefiting those who are sponsoring Ukrainian refugees.” The Augustana Choir, under the direction of Dr. Jon Hurty, were set to perform in Germany and the Czech Republic during a tour May 24-June 7. Most concerts will be held at historic churches such as the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany, which is associated with several wellknown composers such as Wagner, Mendelssohn and Bach, who is interred there. The group also will tour Schloss Sanssouci in Potsdam, the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig, the Terezin concentration camp and memorial, Prague Castle and Karlstejn Castle. Rodriguez will graduate with a double major in music and business administration, and said she will always have a love and appreciation for music.

“I started being in choirs when I was in third grade and kept doing it through elementary school, junior high and high school,” Rodriguez said. “I’ll move back to Bountiful after graduation, and hopefully get a job in finance. I’d like to still perform on the side and go back to graduate school.” Established in 1931, the Augustana Choir has been con-

ducted by Hurty since 1996. The choir's touring goes back more than 100 years to a precursor ensemble, the Wennerberg Chorus in 1905-1910. Rodriguez said she chose to attend Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois, because “This was a small liberal arts school and they had a good music program.”l

Renovation brings back 1930s historic Memorial Courthouse By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—The Davis County Memorial Courthouse has gone through several renovations since it was built in 1890 and after two years of construction it has been restored to its 1930s glory. “It’s been remodeled multiple times,” said Davis County Facilities Management Director Lane Rose. “We’ve combined restored elements with some historical fixtures.” In 1890 it was a Victorian red brick building, he said. “In 1930 they took off the roof and knocked down a couple of walls and built around it,” making it a courthouse within a courthouse. In 1958 and 1979 additions to the courthouse were made. The recent renovation removed those additions, renovated the original historic 1930s section and exposed brick from the original 1890 courthouse. “A major part of the renovation is bringing it up to seismic code,” he said. “We’re

shoring up the walls of the foundation to standard. In the 1890s it was cobblestone with no rebar at all.” Historically what’s preserved is the facade, marble in the corridors, tiles and finishes, Rose said. “We’re working with CRSA architects that have significant experience in restoring old historic buildings. The records department was critical in finding historical information.” There are a handful of items that are really historical, he said. “We’re matching colors from historic photos. It’s more of a replication rather than preserving historic elements that have been remodeled.” For the last 20 years it's been one big building, said Rose. “The commissioners wanted a nice plaza out of that space (where the additions were removed). It’s been in the works ever since we built the Administration building.” The 8-foot stained glass window from

the 1930s will remain and sit above the war memorial in honor of those who served from Davis County. “On the west side there was a door,” Rose said. “In the 50s addition they made it a window but we’ve brought back the door and made it ADA accessible. We also added an elevator.” Other renovations include bringing back the 1930’s courtroom floor space, exposing ceiling joists and recreating the corbels. “The corbels are actually cast from the originals,” he said. “They used horse hair as binders and we found some in the ceiling.” Historically there was a water feature in front of the building, Rose said. “The commissioners wanted a flower bed and some kind of stonework.” Rose said they found a time capsule from 1996 placed in the stairwell for the centennial of statehood but it was waterlogged. “Our records department salvaged

everything they could but it had been sitting in water for 25 years. We’ll have a new one left for people in 2047 to open.” It’s been a fun project to look at history, he said. “It’s a challenge to put it all back together. They didn’t have as detailed plans and documents as they do now. We’ve found a lot of unknown conditions and challenges but I feel fortunate to be on a project that someone 100 years ago was building. Now I have my role in recreating it.” Discover Davis and various county legal departments will be in the new courthouse, said Rose. “The county commissioners wanted this to be a great civic center and government facility. Now it’s going to be restored for generations to come.” A public open house will be held on Friday, June 10 from 1 p.m. – 6 p.m. with a ribbon cutting ceremony at 1 p.m. l

Centerville cyclist ready for Huntsman SportsFest By Tom Haraldsen | tom.h@davisjournal.com

he 12th annual Huntsman SportsFest, benefitting the Huntsman Cancer Institute, is set for Saturday, June 11. It started as something a bit different back in 2010, when Centerville resident Larry Peterson and some fellow cyclists linked up with HCI to create the fundraising event, both as a way to pay back and pay forward. “After I moved to Centerville in 2006, I became acquainted with Jeff Warren, who had been treated at Huntsman back in 2003,” Peterson recalled. “We were both avid cyclists and he wanted to give back to Huntsman for the treatment he’d received. So in 2007, we began a multi-day ride from Reno to Salt Lake City to raise money.” The last leg of that ride was from Delta to Salt Lake City – 140 miles. In 2010, they started the Delta-SLC ride as the Huntsman 140. About 100 riders took part in the initial ride. And the ride’s reputation grew but accommodations in Delta were limited, so Peterson and the team changed to a ride to Elberta-and-back event. That added even more riders, and Peterson began fielding questions about other activities people were interested in as a way to raise money – running, walking, swimming. Huntsman organizers added new distances for the ride, and three years ago, it “was no longer just a bike ride – it was a SportsFest,” he said. Along the way, with those added activities, a lot more money was raised and many more got involved. And then, in 2012, Peterson himself became a beneficiary. “Little did I know that I would develop

prostate cancer and end up getting treatment at the Institute,” he said. “As a participant and a cancer survivor, I really got to see how advanced the programs are at Huntsman. This really is the right place and the right time for all the amazing things they do at HCI.” Peterson, who is 78, moved to Utah after retiring from a career with Dupont in Delaware. He keeps busy and healthy by cycling – lots of it. He rode over 18,000 miles in 2021 and will exceed that total this year. He’s ridden LOTOJA (Logan to Jackson Hole) many times – won it three times, placed second twice and third once in his Masters 60+ category. He participates in the Huntsman Senior Games annually. He’s always enjoyed cycling but didn’t become an avid rider until he moved to Utah. “This state is so unique for cycling – beautiful mountains and lots of flat places as well,” he said. Since 2007, he has ridden from Reno to Salt Lake City each year, and this summer he and his friends will make a ride from Ashton, Idaho to Salt Lake (four days, 400 miles) in conjunction with the SportsFest. “The roads have been much the same every year, but of course the elements change,” he said. “Rain, snow, wind, heat and cold – it varies all the time. Every year has something that’s memorable. The first year, someone greeted me at the starting line with a HCI Bear, and I wear it every year. It’s sort of the mascot for the ride.” Last year, the Huntsman SportsFest,

which will include new activities this year such as yoga and HIGH fitness options, raised $509,000 for HCI. That included some virtual activities still available this year. The day-long event will take place at Fort Douglas Field on the University of Utah campus, and registration is open through midnight on June 8 at huntsmansportsfest.com. Dona-

tions can also be made to the program. “The Ride from Reno team, as we call ourselves, has been the top fundraising team since we started,” Peterson said. “We’ve set examples of endurance, commitment and leadership, and we’re proud to be helping the Institute with its mission.” l

Bountiful Food Pantry reopens its ‘Market’ By Tom Haraldsen | tom.h@davisjournal.com

n March of 2020, as the nation watched the doors of businesses close due to the outbreak of COVID-19, one local lifeline for many families had to make changes as well. That’s when the Bountiful Food Pantry shut down its Market, the area that looks and feels much like a supermarket where patrons can pick and choose their own food items. Now, that option has returned, as staff members of the Pantry joined with some of its Board of Directors at a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday morning. Executive Director Rebekah Anderson said she was “immensely proud of the generous volunteers who, for the past two years, did the stocking and shopping for clients and delivered food to their vehicles” while the market was closed. “Although clients could not come into the building to pick their own items, we did not go a single day without giving food to everyone in need.” The Market became part of the Pantry’s operation in 2015 after an extensive remodel added the space along with some much-needed offices. Jordan Gingrich, the director of services at the Pantry, recalled those early days of the pandemic. “We had a really scary time where we had to evaluate whether we could continue to give out food and how to do it safely,” she said. “We knew our priority was to feed people, so we quickly developed a model of how we could deliver food through the back door. Those first few days of March were scary for everyone. We’re happy we could alleviate some of that fear and provide them with some of the necessities they needed. We’re so glad to finally be able to reopen our market and have clients be able to choose their food op-

tions.” Gingrich praised the volunteers who helped make it happen, especially at a time when the number of volunteers – normally about 200 – was reduced to one-fifth that number. “Everybody was hustling, and they did that with a smile – they were happy to help,” she said. “I’m so happy to be a part of this organization. I started as a volunteer going out on the grocery rescue trucks. That’s when I became attached to the pantry and its mission.” Bountiful Mayor Kendalyn Harris spoke at the ceremony, saying she is very grateful for the organization. “It’s so amazing to me to think about what you do here day in and day out,” she said. “We all have things, seen or unseen, where we need help. We live in a community where we want to help each other. That’s what the pantry does. This is such a vital part of our community. It’s a great step today that people can come in and choose for themselves.” “The market allows people to feel a little sense of normalcy,” Anderson said. “One of the things that we offer here is not just food, its humanity. An overwhelming number of our volunteers said they’ve missed having people in the building, missed talking to our clients. They missed that interaction with people in our community.” Anderson also thanked the many community partners, from local farmers and supermarket owners to other groups who’ve helped with programs such as the Pantry Packs that provide food for children in need. From a program that started distributing 155 packs a week in three schools, 3,100 Pantry Packs are now distributed a week to 61 schools. “There’s no way on this green Earth that we could do

any of this without our volunteers and our community partners.” There is a food drive this Saturday (May 14) conducted with postal workers. Most homes should have had bags left on doorsteps that residents can fill with food and place back on those doorsteps. Postal workers will collect those bags on Saturday and the donated food will go to the Pantry. The Bountiful Food Pantry is located at 480 East 150 North in Bountiful. l

Dancers ‘share the light through movement’ in unique production of ‘Narnia’ By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com

tep into the world of Narnia, a magical place filled with talking animals and mythical creatures. The C.S. Lewis classic, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” is a story of courage, adventure and redemption. Audiences of all ages can take the journey as the Illume Dance Company presents the tale through dance June 10,11 at Woodland Park in Farmington. “This is an original stage adaptation,” said Illume owner Emily Bokinskie. “Usually you have to buy a script that’s already been produced but we wrote it and did the staging. We got approval and licensing from C.S. Lewis Company LTD to perform it. It’s all dancing and acting. There are no words.” Bokinskie and her business partner Cami Wardle opened the dance studio three years ago. “We wanted to create a place for dancers to learn that they have skills. Our mission statement is ‘Sharing light through movement.’ We don’t compete, we just want them to share their gifts and talents with us.” The studio especially focuses on adult dancers. “Many adults danced when they were younger but they grew up and they had work, deadlines and diapers to change,” she said. “They don’t have the time to use their craft or passion.” The majority of the Narnia cast are adults, said Bokinskie. “There are two classes of kids but they’ll be a small part of this. We hope to provide an opportunity for adults to get out there and move as a creative outlet and share it with their kids, partners and neighbors.” Bokinskie and Wardle first met in their middle school dance company. After high school they went in different directions but met again more than 10 years later when Cami just

happened to move into Bokinskie’s neighborhood. Together they followed their passion for dance and opened the studio. “Cami is one of the most beautiful dancers,” said Bokinskie. “However, on Aug. 31, 2021 when she was delivering her fourth baby she suffered an amniotic fluid embolism and was on life support for 188 days. They removed a portion of her skull and she had a stroke that left her paralyzed on the left side of her body. She’ll be on stage in a wheelchair which will be amazing.” Woodland Park is the perfect place to perform Narnia, Bokinskie said. “It’s a unique stage up on a hill. It’s two tiers surrounded by trees and birds. The creatures are all of the dancers – fawns, unicorns, eagles – they’re all part of this Narnian forest. Rather than having curtains on stage we use the forest as the background. It will make the audience feel like they’ve stepped into Narnia.” The park is located at 300 S. 200 East in Farmington. Shows are June 10, 11 at 5 and 7 p.m. both nights. Tickets are $12 for adults and $8 for children under 8 and are available at illumedancecompany.com. “We chose C.S. Lewis because it’s for all ages,” said Bokinskie. “It can be taken as a magic story of courage, adventure and redemption or can be read more deeply as an allegory of Christ’s triumph over death.

Is Hearing Loss Making You Tired? Consider the last time you felt completely exhausted-- the last time you were so tired that your ability to function normally was impaired. Perhaps you had just run a marathon, or stayed up taking care of a sick family member through the wee hours of the night. Did you find yourself a little “out of it?” A little “loopy?” It’s no surprise that when we are tired, we have reduced ability to think and function at our best. Over the course of the past several years, interesting research has demonstrated that individuals presenting with hearing loss are at significantly higher risk of fatigue. Hearing loss is hard work! As a person struggles to hear a conversation, the amount of effort put forth to understand quickly increases, leading to cognitive

overload and auditory fatigue. Over the course of an entire day filled with conversation, that amount of effort really takes its toll and leads to exhaustion. One study, titled “Self-Reported Listening-Related Effort and Fatigue in Hearing Impaired Adults” by Alhanbali, Dawes, Lloyd, and Munro in Ear and Hearing looked at the self-reported listening effort and fatigue in people with hearing loss and compared them to normal hearing individuals. They found that people with hearing loss report significantly higher levels of listening effort and fatigue in their lives. Another study by Hornsby and Kipp (“Subjective Ratings of Fatigue and Vigor in Adults With Hearing Loss are Driven by Perceived Hearing Difficulties, Not Degree

Dr. Rachael Gehmlich

Dr. Joshua Luekenga

utahear.org | 801.298.4327 of Hearing Loss”) found that adults with hearing loss were definitely more likely to experience severe fatigue and lack of energy; however, the degree of fatigue was unrelated to the degree of hearing loss. In other words, even a mild hearing loss could cause the same amount of fatigue as a severe hearing loss. As doctors of audiology, one of our largest concerns is the consequence that listening effort (and the ensuing fatigue) has on patients’ social lives and their emotional health. Individuals with hearing loss often feel isolated and lonely, leading to higher risk of depression. There is even documentation indicating that hearing loss can affect performance at work. You may notice that it’s more difficult to hold a conversation with a loved one or to watch TV in the evening after having expended significant effort throughout the day. The good news is that help is available at Utah Ear Institute. Recent studies have shown that consistently and correctly wearing hearing aids significantly reduces the cognitive load and can relieve fatigue caused by hearing loss. Let our doctors of audiology help you to lift the burden of hearing loss so that you can live a more fulfilled, well-rested lifestyle.

igh school theater programs in Davis County walked away with some top awards following the Utah High School Musical Theatre Awards, with Davis High School winning top prize for Best Musical for its performance of “Bright Star.” The musical, written and composed by Steve Martin and Edie Brickell, is set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in the mid 1940s. DHS theater director Michael Wright said the production was challenging, but “magical.” “Anybody who has seen the show just knows it’s a marvelous show, so beautiful, so brilliant,” Wright said. “Every part of it was so dynamic and cohesive. I knew it would just be magic. We’re thrilled. It’s a big deal for us.” With a live folk band on stage, carefully researched costumes and a 20-foot turntable built for the production, “Bright Star” captured the hearts of the judges. “I could tell by their response that they loved the show and I thought we had a good shot,” Wright said. “You can tell when someone’s eyes are lighting up afterward that it was a magic moment.” DHS also won Best Student Director, presented to Katelyn Luke, Kara Larsen, Ella Dickson, Brennan Wells, and Ellie Palmer for “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.” Hayden Henderson, a senior at Northridge High School, earned the Best Actor award for his role as Quasimodo in “The Hunchback of Notre Dame,” winning rave reviews from judges and audience members. “He just encompassed and embodied that character,” said Jana Coates, NHS theater director. “He also has a freaking amazing voice. It’s rare for me to find a kid who can act and sing that well. His ability is really top-notch. He felt all the emotions in the songs and hit the notes, too.” Henderson said he was a late bloomer to the theater, joining his first production in eighth grade. He’s been a fan ever since. While preparing to play the hunchback, Quasimodo, Henderson said he was careful to inhabit the character without making fun of anyone with a disability. He researched the performances of other actors in the role to get the perfect nuance of isolation and longing, without the character becoming a parody. “To get in a character like that you have to best understand the wants of somebody with a physical deformity, and they just want to be normal,” he said. “For someone who doesn’t have physical deformities, that’s hard to achieve.” Henderson will compete in New York

City on Broadway at the National High School Musical Theatre Awards in June. NHS also won Best Ensemble for the cast of “The Music Man.” With nearly 80 performers on stage singing, dancing and acting, judges were impressed with the tight choreography and how such a big cast could stay on the same page. Even with a big cast, Coates said participation in theater has dropped and is discouraged to see less interest in live performances and the commitment it takes to make those musicals and plays shine. “It’s been a building year, not just for us but for all my colleagues in theater. Kids just don’t want to be social anymore. They don’t want to work on something live, in-person anymore,” Coates said. “I hope things will go back to the way they were but I think we will have fewer students in our productions, and maybe just the ones who want to be there the most.” In addition to DHS and NHS, Avrie Prows, a Farmington High School student, received the award for Best Cameo Performer for her role as Mrs. Galahad in “Spamalot.” “Davis County cleaned house,” Wright said. “Our schools here are really great. You can get complacent sometimes but knowing good people are doing good things really inspires you to push the agenda forward a bit.” Plans are already underway for next year’s high school theater season. DHS will perform “A Christmas Story: The Musical” from Nov. 30 through Dec. 10. NHS

will present “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” in the fall. “The kids are already trying their hardest but sometimes they just don’t get the recognition they deserve,” Wright said. “Not everyone is on board that theater is important and theater has value. So when those kids have their moment and realize people care about what they’re doing, it is a shot in the arm.” l

College of Southern Idaho catcher Sophia Stoddard looks toward the outfield in a softball game.

Ex-Bountiful High softball star goes Division 1 By Alec Cipollini | a.cipollini@mycityjournals.com BOUNTIFUL– After a terrific season with College of Southern Idaho in the National Junior College Athletic Association, former Bountiful High School softball catcher Sophia Stoddard has decided to take her talents to Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho. With a statline of having a .390 batting average and 16 home runs, at the time of reporting, the Golden Eagles sophomore announced her decision to transfer to Idaho State on Apr. 21 as her team and coaches celebrated her announcement in Twin Falls, Idaho. She has dreamed of playing at the Division 1 level of softball since she was a kid and said that all of her hard work paid off. “I think it is something that you always dream about as a little girl–to play softball at the highest level,” Stoddard said. “Practicing and trying to get better everyday got me here. Division 1 softball was something that I always worked towards.” Before going to college, Stoddard played three full seasons with Bountiful High until her senior year was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Stoddard is the sister of former Bountiful High standout and Snow College player Belle Stoddard, and credited her with introducing the sport to her at a young age. “Belle was always playing at a higher level than me,” Sophia Stoddard said. “Seeing her own the game inspired me to keep playing and see how much I could get out of myself as a player.” At the end of last season, she had a few offers from other colleges, but she elected to remain with CSI as she wanted to stay two years before looking elsewhere. What made it appealing to go to Idaho State was that she had family ties to Pocatello and her mom was an alumni from the university. “My family is from Pocatello and I love

it there,” Stoddard said. “They got a new coach [Andrew Rich] there and I went to the camp there and that was amazing. My mom is also an alumni from Idaho State and to follow in her footsteps is pretty cool.” Idaho State is in the Big Sky Conference of the NCAA, the same conference as Weber State University, and Stoddard said that she is excited to have the opportunity to play college softball close to home. “It will be pretty awesome,” she said. “I remember watching Weber State playing as a little girl and wanting to be on their field someday. The fact that I can make those dreams come true and to play in front of my family will be a great feeling.” Stoddard completed the rest of the season with College of Southern Idaho as they hosted the Region 18 Tournament on May 11-13. When looking back at the past, Stoddard said that both situations at Bountiful High and CSI were similar, and beneficial. “I evolved as a student-athlete and as a person at both schools,” Stoddard said. “I was a freshman catcher last year for CSI and there weren't any sophomore or later catchers that were in front of me to learn from. It was kind of like the same situation in high school where I had to own the field right out of the gate and be a leader.” Bountiful High School has a special place in her heart and she learned valuable lessons that she has taken with her to the next level of college softball and in life. “My coaches and teammates at Bountiful had me for almost four years and they pushed me everyday to be even better,” Stoddard said. “No matter how good I was, they emphasized that there is always room for more and if I wanted to do work for something, they would try to get me there.” l

You Are Gold concert to address suicide prevention for youth By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

s a child, Smith Alley was bullied because of his size and speech impediment. He frequently battled anxiety, depression, addiction and self-hate. When his parents discovered he was contemplating suicide, they found help for Alley, an 18-year-old senior at Bountiful High School. When Alley’s friend committed suicide in November 2021, he knew he had to speak up. He knew he had to let young people know there are resources available, and let them know they’re not alone. He founded Live Life Bigger and travels to schools inspiring students to live a healthy life. “I grew up dealing with self-esteem issues that lead to suicidal ideation,” Alley said. “I never shared these struggles with anyone, and it led me to a very dark place. I don’t want anyone else to have to feel like they are alone in their battle against the prevalence of mental health.” In cooperation with several community sponsors, Life Live Bigger will hold the You Are Gold suicide prevention concert on Saturday, June 11 at 6:30 p.m. at the Dee Events Center (4444 Event Center Dr.) in Ogden. The concert will feature music from Ava Mabry, The National Parks, and local groups. There will be food trucks, therapy dogs, photo booths and mental health resources, including 36 licensed therapists that can help teens build a mental safety plan. By identifying safe people in their lives, teens will have loved ones they can call when they feel overwhelmed or depressed. “We’ve built an event that offers an incredible amount of resources that are backed by mental health professionals, and incorporates them in a fun, uplifting, and engaging way,”

Alley said. “I hope that people will come together as a community and start to heal together. I hope that this event can be the cause of many meaningful discussions among friends and family.” According to the Utah Department of Health, suicide is the leading cause of death among teens aged 15-19. Alley’s mother, Sally Alley, said they want the concert to bring awareness to this grim statistic, and support families who might not realize their teen is in danger. “It seems like a lot of teens aren’t displaying a lot of the normal symptoms [of suicide],” Sally said. “A lot of parents are talking about how it’s taking them by surprise. There’s not the long-term struggle with depression or isolation or dropping grades even. We want to get these kids back into life again and be hopeful. There are a lot of resources out there.” Alley brings his message to communities all over the country. He calls the You Are Gold event an evening of “hope and healing” and said the best way to get involved is to bring friends and family to the event.

National champion and other top 10 finishes at swimming masters meet By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

est Point’s Spencer Curley won the mens 500 yard freestyle in the 18-24 age division at the U. S. Masters Swimming National Championships earlier this spring, representing the South Davis “Krusty Krabs” team. Among more than 1800 swimmers – which included 10 former Olympians – the Krabs brought home some additional hardware, personal bests and plenty of memories. “I’m so proud of how good our team did at nationals,” said Krabs head coach Aaron Norton. “They worked really hard and it showed with almost everyone swimming personal best times since getting back in the water as adults. It was amazing.” Three of the swimmers are local high school coaches in Farmington High’s Stacy Edholm, Woods Cross’ Jamie Holzer and Bonneville High’s Kim Patterson. Patterson placed sixth in the 200 backstroke and ninth in the 100 back with Edholm finishing eighth in the 100 back. “The meet was so fun and we all swam so well,” Edholm said. “It was a super cool event at one of the best swimming facilities in the nation,” said Holzer, who assists the Woods Cross High program. “It was lots of fun with the team.”

Of the 15 swimmers that attended nationals, eight were first-timers like Curley – who was also the youngest at 24 years old – along with Woods Cross’ Holzer, Jim Gilland, Shannon Manning, Farmington’s Edholm and area swimmers Patterson, Paul Esser and Ryan McMullin. The remaining contingent competing for the Krabs included Bountiful’s Stephanie Breinholt and Tom Woods, and Centerville’s Mindy Hopfenbeck, along with Anna-Marie Forest, Joe Linford, Russ Walker and Rachelle Woodbury. Woods broke two Utah Masters state records in the 100 Individual Medley and the 50 Free in the 60-64 age division while Linford broke the state’s 500 Free record for men, ages 40-44. The South Davis Recreation Center sponsored Coach Norton to attend nationals this year. “It really shows their confidence in this program to send a coach,” Norton said. The Krusty Krabs, who practice at SDRC, are made up of 60 to 100 swimmers who participate in workouts that are offered throughout the week. The 10-lane competition pool is open Mondays, Wednesday and Friday from 6-7 a.m., Tuesday and Thursday

Fifteen of the South Davis “Krusty Krabs” masters swim team competed at nationals recently and brought home a national champion and some top 10 finishes.

evenings from 8-9 p.m. and Saturday mornings from 6-7:30 a.m. “Our swimmer base is very wide. Only about one-third of our swimmers compete in swim meets with several that do triathlons who have even gone to the Ironman world championships,” Norton said. “However, most of our swimmers are just there to swim for fitness and have a great time with our swim family. We do regular social outings with our team from dinner and movie nights, annual parties and also do service for various groups in our local community.” Norton is one of five coaches – including Woods, Breinholt, Kirsten Greenwood and Kia Hodgson – who rotate assignments to allow for a coach on deck every day during morning and evening swims.

“That’s unique to Masters swimming where not everyone has a coach at every practice, but you’re there to be coached,” said Norton. Norton said his swimmers’ ages range from 20-somethings into their 80s. “We’re a big swim family where our best friends are lane mates and we support each other no matter the circumstance,” he said. “All adults over the age of 18 who can swim at least 100 yards freestyle are welcome to come and join us. Just come to the rec center and give us a try! We have fun!” For more information on the Masters swimming program at the SDRC, visit http:// southdavismasters.com.l

Free Comcast lift zones provide hotspot connections across the state By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

ccess to internet connection can mean the difference between staying ahead or falling behind. As the COVID-19 crisis demonstrated, families without access to the internet struggled to keep kids engaged with online school and remote work became a challenge. To address digital equity, Comcast has equipped more than 30 locations across Utah with free WiFi Lift Zones to get students and adults online. “We are committed to digital inclusivity for all Utahns no matter where they live or their financial status,” said Deneiva Knight, External Affairs Director, Comcast Utah. “Offering free WiFi Lift Zones with Comcast’s Internet Essentials program, which provides internet services to low-income customers, is a huge step toward connecting students and adults to online resources in safe, reliable locations.” Working with a network of nonprofit, community, and city partners, Comcast added Lift Zones in its service areas including West Valley, Millcreek, Murray and Bountiful. Lift Zones will complement Comcast’s Internet Essential program, which has helped connect more than 160,000 low-income Utahns to the internet at home.

Since 2019, Comcast has worked with Utah partners to install free internet services to sites, which provide low-income students with a space to participate in distance learning and complete homework. Adults are also using Lift Zones to work remotely, apply for jobs, and learn digital skills, all at no cost. “Community partners and organizations that align with our promise to create a dynamic community are leveraging South Salt Lake’s three Lift Zones,” said Lucas Horns, a City of South Salt Lake employee. “It is enhancing resources around the city and promoting a sense of community at the same time. What’s more, Comcast’s Lift Zone has become a hub for small businesses and other organizations to use.” A full list of Utah Lift Zone locations can be found at utah.comcast.com/lift-zones. “Increasingly, broadband access has become vitally important for Utahns across the state,” said Knight. “Combining more Lift Zones and the ground-breaking Internet Essentials program . . . not only makes sense, it’s a game-changer. It literally opens a new world for students’ educational opportunities and for adults to connect online for better employment, something that was out of reach before.” l

Davis County library’s summer reading program schedule

Student exchange programs in Davis County benefit both students and local families By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com

hen Claudia Wadhwani came to Davis County to attend Bountiful High School, it was a culture shock. Claudia, 16, grew up in Spain and is part of a student exchange program that brings foreign teens to the state to learn English and experience a different culture. But it hasn’t been easy. Even though her brother had been through a similar experience, she was afraid to leave her family and friends for an entire year. It was far out of her comfort zone. Not only would she be the new kid at school, but she spoke a different language and didn’t understand the American lifestyle. “I had to learn to get out of my bubble,” Claudia said. “All these fears that I had in the first month, I came to realize they weren’t even a problem. But there was one thing, in Spain, we’re really warm and welcoming. People here just aren’t as open.” Since 2015, Aspen Perkins has worked to bring high school international students to study in Davis County schools. The students spend a school year with the host family and get immersed in the everyday activities of living in Utah. Perkins said hosting an exchange student, letting them become part of the family and teaching them about American culture is a lot of fun. She advises exchange parents to treat students like members of the family and to be adaptable when it comes to the experience. “It takes some getting used to the difference with the kids from other countries,” Perkins said. “We’re not trying to turn them into little Americans. This is a cultural exchange. Let go of expectations.” The biggest challenge for students and families is commu-

Page 24 | June 2022

nication. Foreign students often are surprised by the curfews they are given in America, plus it takes some time to learn a culture’s idioms, body language and expressions. Most differences are easily addressed. Sometimes it’s as easy as helping the student understand cooking without using the metric system. Students are also surprised by the lack of public transportation in Davis County, since they’re used to walking, biking or using the bus system in their country. In Utah, students often own their own cars or carpool, or the parents drive them. Foreign students are not used to asking for rides. “Expect these types of things and use it as an opportunity to learn.” Perkins said. “Europeans are particularly more direct in their families than Americans. They are open and just want to talk about everything. So if they say something that you’re offended by, assume that wasn’t their intention.” Perkins’ job is to place the right student with the right family. For homes that are interested in hosting an exchange student, Perkins requires English be the primary language in the home and they must be willing to accept the child as a family member. “People who are incredibly rigid or who aren’t open-minded don’t work well,” she said. All families are welcome to apply, including same sex, single parents and empty nesters. For those interested, reach out to Perkins at AspenfromAK@gmail.com. Host families receive a $500 monthly stipend to cover travel or food costs. Students are responsible for their own school and miscellaneous expenses. And for every referral Perkins gets about hosting an exchange student, $100 will be donated to the Davis Education Foundation Teen Centers.

Claudia said after she got over her initial fears, she had a great time with her host family. Her English skills improved quickly and she’s made new friends. “I’ve become much more mature and I’ve learned how to do things by myself,” Claudia said. “You have to learn how to organize yourself and learn how to be out of your comfort zone. Be patient with people and try to open up. You come here and no one knows anything about you, so you can start from the beginning and open up yourself.” l

Director Ashleigh Young brings new ideas to Animal Care of Davis County

or many people, animals are part of the family. For Ashleigh Young, animals aren’t just family, they’re her full-time job. Young took over as the director at Animal Care of Davis County in October 2021, after starting with the organization in the spring of 2020. “I didn’t have animals growing up, so it created a deep love for animals and a void that I had to fill with animals,” she said. “For many people, pets are all that they have; that is why the work that we do at Animal Care of Davis County is so incredibly important. They provide companionship and unconditional love.” Young worked at three different shelters over the last 10 years and earned a bachelor’s degree in animal science at Oregon State University. She also holds her CPDT-KA, a 300-hour dog training certification that measures knowledge and skills in dog training technique, instruction ethology, and theory. Her vision for Animal Care of Davis County is one of protection for pets, education for owners, and creating partnerships to help animals stay in homes. The biggest reason for pet surrenders at the facility is for behavior concerns. But work-

By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com ing with a dog trainer can alleviate almost all behavioral problems, and allows the animal to stay with its family. “We’re partnering with organizations that can provide services that support pet owners,” she said. “It seems like a huge cumbersome thing you can’t handle, but we want to do what we can to keep pets in homes.” The cost of feeding a pet can also be an added burden, but a partnership with the Bountiful Food Pantry can provide for families who can’t afford pet food. For animals returned to the shelter because of an illness that requires expensive medical treatments, Animal Care of Davis County can help with medical procedures. Vaccinations, microchipping and spay/ neuter can all be done at a low cost. “This is a big cultural shift at the shelter,” Young said. “We had a person who brought their cat in to surrender because they couldn’t afford to spay the cat. The cat was spayed here and returned to the owner.” Another change at the shelter is the model for animal control officers. Instead of ticketing or fining homeowners for pet-related issues, the officers will be-

come animal problem solvers and transition into a community support service. For instance, if a dog keeps escaping from a yard, the officers might help repair a fence. If a dog is outside with no shelter, officers can provide a dog house. It isn’t just dogs and cats that find their way to Animal Care of Davis County. Young has seen rabbits, hamsters, reptiles and even a desert tortoise come through the shelter. She said the facility isn’t facing the same overcrowding that other shelters in the state are dealing with, brought on by people surrendering pets in record numbers. “We luckily haven’t been in that boat. We have a strong foster program and we also participate in the trap, neuter, return program,” she said. A feasibility study is being conducted to support the vision of a new building for the shelter. The current building is more than 50 years old and was built at a time when animals were euthanized and didn’t need accommodations. Now that the organization is a no-suffering shelter, animals need more space. Also, volunteers are desperately need-

ed at Animal Care of Davis County. People who can walk dogs or foster animals until they find forever homes are invaluable. When Young moved to Utah from Oregon two years ago, she was looking for growth and opportunities. She has two dogs (one she adopted from the shelter) and loves all the outdoor adventures she enjoys with her canine companions. With her lifelong devotion to animals and keeping them safe and healthy, Young invites Davis County residents to visit the shelter, get involved with its programs, and consider bringing a furry friend to their home to benefit all family members. “Multiple studies have been published showing the positive impacts of pet ownership, including healthier hearts, lower blood pressure, taking less sick days from work, and the obvious one, more exercise,” she said. “I know in my personal life, owning dogs has really made me much more involved in the community, from hiking with friends and our dogs to dog training clubs and dog sports.” The facility is located at 1422 East 600 North in Fruit Heights. l

Honorees selected at the inaugural Comcast RISE Black Excellence Event By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com

ardware Creative Collective and Comcast partnered to host the inaugural Comcast RISE Black Excellence Event in Salt Lake City on April 20. The celebration honored Utah Black Creatives in a range of industries from the arts, business, education and film to mental health, armed forces, tech and venture capital. Honorees were selected based on their ability to showcase their creativity through inspiration, intersection and innovation. “It was truly amazing to see something that started as a vision and brainstorming with folks around a kitchen table turn into an extraordinary celebration of Utah’s Black creatives,” said Deneiva Knight, External Affairs Director, Comcast Mountain West Region. “For me, Hardware Collective is a platform for Black creatives to acknowledge and celebrate themselves and their peers versus waiting and hoping to receive accolades from outsiders. The love and appreciation in the room that night were unmatchable.” Honored at the event were Kenneth Boggs (fashion), Kimmy Paluch (tech), Dr. Jackie Thompson (education), Col. Jenise M. Carroll (military), Melanie D. Davis, LCMHC (mental health), Mauli Bonner (music), and Tenisha “Isha” Hicks (beauty). The celebration acknowledged the efforts of talented entrepreneurs who continue to innovate and succeed despite facing financial challenges. Comcast RISE recognizes small business owners through its brands Comcast Business and Effectv. Empowering business owners with knowledge and resources allowed them to navigate economic difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic. “As I was sewing, Motown music used to play all the time,”

said Boggs, CEO of Kenneth Boggs Suit. “Most people wanted to be like Michael Jackson, but I wanted to be David Ruffin from The Temptations because he looked really good in his suit. . . By the end of the day, my goal is to create your own story. I’m proud to be a chosen honoree for the Hardware. It makes me feel blacknificent.” Honoree Carroll serves as the 75th Air Force Wing Commander at Hill Air Force Base. She is the first African American female to hold this position in the 75 years of the Air Force. “I ask that everyone look at me as being an American first. Don’t judge me by the color of my skin or by my gender. Look at me as an American serving proudly in her country wearing this uniform,” Carroll said. “I’m standing before you letting you know there’s nothing impossible if you believe.” “Thank you to our presenting sponsors, Comcast and Zions Bank, for co-sponsoring the inaugural launch of the Hardware Creative Collective,” said Sui Lang L. Panoke, founder, Hardware Creative Collective. “Additionally, we thank our investment sponsor, the Andrus Family Foundation, and our community sponsors, the Utah Black Chamber, and Utah Arts Alliance.” Panoke and Scott Anderson, president and CEO, Zions Bank, were inspired by the honorees and their accomplishments. “As I look upon your faces and I listen to your stories, I have been touched,” Anderson said. “I thought of the comment from the prophet Gibran, 'Through the hands of such as these God speaks, and from behind their eyes He smiles upon the earth.’ So thank you, thank you very much.” “The most advanced levels of diversity, equity and inclusion are evident when communities and organizations maximize and capitalize on their ability to stimulate and cultivate creativity

New Viewmont girls basketball coach comin’ home

By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com

he Viewmont High girls basketball program has a new head coach and, although he has been coaching at Hunter High in West Valley City the past six years, he has actually been living in Centerville that whole time. Cameron Gardner takes over the Vikings squad following the retirement of Roger Farnsworth after the 2021-22 season. “We are really excited to have Cameron Gardner as our new head girls basketball coach. He has had success as a head coach (at Hunter High School) and we feel he is the perfect fit for the Viewmont girls basketball program,” said VHS Athletic Director Jeff Emery. Gardner said he is thrilled to be coaching near home. “Just like when I came to Hunter, there are a lot of unknowns for me in getting a feel for what’s already here, but I am really excited for this great opportunity to establish a program the way I’d like to,” he said. “I’m having all the feels with leaving a program I built, but I’m so excited to get to work here and my family is thrilled that I’ll be working much closer now.” As the youngest of four boys raised on a farm in Honeyville, Utah, Gardner played anything he could to “survive and compete”

with his older brothers, particularly in football, baseball and basketball. He was a two-year varsity point guard at Box Elder High School and a Region MVP and First Team All-State selection his senior year. From there, he served a two-year church mission to Sao Paolo, Brazil and, when he returned home, he began helping his alma mater’s program before he received an opportunity to play at Hartnell College in California. After a year there – and “no social life” – he came back to Utah with plans of simply academic-based plans. But, he responded to his brother’s encouragement while at Utah State to try out for a walk-on spot with the Aggies team and agreed to be “a practice player who would get your butt kicked and receive no recognition” for their historic 2009 squad. He then spent the next three years as a USU basketball team manager learning on the bench from the legendary coach Stew Morrill. Gardner’s chosen career path of teaching PE and coaching stems from his roots at Box Elder with coach Keith Mecham. “He just did a great job relating sports to what matters and it really went beyond basketball skills,” Gardner said. “I realized that I love developing relationships with kids and trying to help them

become a better person on and off the court.” In 2012, Gardner started coaching at Pinnacle High School in Price where he headed up the boys basketball, baseball and golf teams for three years before he came to Hunter High. For the past six years, he has been building the Wolverines program with players who come in with minimal experience and has found plenty of fulfillment in maximizing their development. Within two seasons at Hunter, his girls were competing for the region title and won the championship in 2020 – when he was also named Region 2 Coach of the Year – and this past season. “It’s cool to see the growth of your players when they come into your program and then to where they are when they leave. That’s what’s rewarding,” Gardner said. “You don’t coach for the hours, money or wins. You try and teach the right way to do things, expect them to just do it and then let them feel the success of that. It’s been awesome and I love to spend a lot of time doing it.” The new VHS coach, who will also teach PE and Driver’s Ed at the school, said he’s excited to also involve his wife and two young children in this opportunity.

he defending 6A champion Davis High girls golf team placed third at this year’s state tournament at Stonebridge Golf Course May 9-10, while Farmington tied for seventh with Weber. At the 5A state tournament at River Oaks Golf Course May 9-10, Bountiful finished eighth. Davis After the first day of the state tournament, the Darts were in fourth place and moved up a spot on the final day. Davis’ Cheyenne Hansen shot rounds of 79 and 83 to place ninth and earn All-State honors. “The course was definitely tough, but it was for everyone. We just missed out on second by four strokes,” said head coach Lori Salvo. “I felt like our girls just put too much pressure on themselves. I told them we had the monkey off our back because we won it last year. I know they were trying so hard, but things were just not going our way.” Also placing at state for the Darts was Olivia Davenport and Quinn Shupe, who tied for 22nd, along with Bridgette Volk (tied for 27th), Hannah Karras (tied for 31st), Abby Lewis (tied for 36th), Eden Page (tied for 56th) and Maddie Baugh (66th).

with a score of 77, but fell to 14th in shooting 90 on the final day. Also scoring for the Phoenix squad were Sydney Richards, who placed 18th, along with Paige Olsen and Aubi Eaves who tied for 50th. Bountiful Holland Staker tied for 34th with rounds of 102 and 98 to pace Bountiful’s eighth place team. Also competing for the Redhawks at state were Kylie Ohlson who finished 37th, Molli Murri (tied for 38th), Breea Patterson (tied for 45th), Ella Snyder (66th) and Sophie Milne (69th). Viewmont Viewmont’s Adri Summerhays qualified as an individual for the state tournament and tied for 11th with Wasatch’s Ellie Olsen with a two-day score of 174. Summerhays was tied for 17th after shooting a round of 90 on Day One and improved her placement the second day, just outside of All-State honors. Karissa Goff shot a 96 and 105 to tie for 41st while Halle Salmon’s 129 on the first day failed to get her to the second day. “We didn’t achieve all of our goals or meet every expectation, however it was an overall positive experience and a move in the right direction for the program,” said head coach Nick O’Neal.

Gardening tips for a long, dry Utah summer By Tom Haraldsen | tom.h@davisjournal.com (Editor’s Note—This is one of our continuing series of stories as part of our Davis Journal Water Watchers campaign) y now some of us have made decisions and begun planting flowers, vegetables, trees and more in our yards and gardens. Even as June rolls around, there are reasons to be cautious about what we do this year, especially with heavy water restrictions in place and the likelihood of a hot, dry summer. The good news is that we still have a lot of options for our gardens – and tips for keeping lawns as green as possible. To learn more, we turned to an expert – Debbie West – the garden center manager at Rockin E Country Store in Woods Cross. “Our average last frost of the year in Davis County is April 26, more than a month ago, but you never really know until about mid to late May,” she said. “For those who want to plant tomatoes or peppers – vegetables that can’t even stand the word ‘frost,’ I always wait a few weeks after Mother’s Day to get them in the ground. The same for squash, cucumbers, cantelopes and watermelons – they also need hot weather.” West said the early season planting crops like peas, carrots, radishes, Swiss chard, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, onions and potatoes all love cold weather, and most gardeners get those planted early. That said, as the summer of short watering commences and residents are thinking about drought-resistant options they have for their yards, West has suggestions. “Bedding plants like petunias and geraniums can handle the cold, even a late season frost, and with the perennial variety of those, they come back nicely each year,” she said. “For those who want to flip their parking strips and embellish a rock base, catmint, and blue fescue grasses. Lavender, Russian sage, and Iceplant bloom most of the summer if you like a ‘creeping’ type of plant. The largest focus in our industry this year is clearly for low water drought resistant plants, and those are good ones.” New fruit trees should have been planted long before you read this article, but there are still other types of trees that can beautify and work well in a drought. “Hornbeams (hardwood trees in the birch family) are especially drought tolerant,” West said. “There are 30-40 species that can be found across much of the Northern Hemisphere, but stay away from Japanese maples, as they aren’t a good choice for this year.” She said fruit trees that were planted earlier are also drought tolerant. For ground preparation, she suggests a polymer granule called Soil Moist, which is biodegradable and can hold about 50 times its size of water, “so it acts like a slow release as plants pull the water out of it.” The product works especially well with plant baskets, where roots are compressed. For flower beds, a layer of mulch, about two inches thick, will help hold water in. There are a variety of mulches available for gardeners, and West said another option is to get some from the landfill. “If you have a truck, you can get a lot of it fairly inexpensively.” Lawns will be a big concern for all of us, with only one-day-a-week watering allowed in most communities. West recommends using a humic acid on lawns to help them retain water. She said aeration of lawns can be good, but she’s not a fan of power raking. Aeration puts little holes in the lawns, and for areas with a lot of clay, like the Foxboro area of the county, she suggests aeration maybe

every other year. “Most of our lawns here in the county are Kentucky Bluegrass, which is fortunate,” she said. “If they do turn yellow and go dormant, they aren’t going to die. When they do get water, they’ll come back. I suggest using a regular fertilizer on them now so the roots get deeper. Kentucky Bluegrass is the dominant grass around here.” One thing Rockin E has done to make things easier for customers is to mark their plants with orange flags for those that are drought resistant. The garden center has 60 greenhouses that grow plants year round, and the store offers 40 varieties of tomatoes, 45 of peppers and 50 of petunias, just to name a few. There are so many benefits to gardens that go beyond just the aesthetics of the way they make our yards look. Trees and shrubs, for example, produce oxygen. You can find more answers to your gardening questions by chatting with Debbie West at Rockin E, located at 1201 West 500 South in Woods Cross. l

A one-horse race

hen I was in eighth grade, I was elected to the class senate. In ninth grade, I was elected as a cheerleader. Did I deserve these titles? Probably not. But I’d bribed fellow students with copious amounts of candy because that’s the American way. After a series of decidedly terrible life choices, my scholastic career drove off the rails and I never ran for election again. When I turned 18, I registered to vote and I’ve cast a vote in every election since. I also respond to Twitter polls, fill out Amazon reviews and take surveys at the bottom of yard-long Kohl’s receipts. Now that I’m a semi-functioning adult, it’s up to me to choose the right people to lead us into the future. Since the future is nuclear bomb-shaped, we won’t need leaders much longer, but elections are important, at least until that mushroom cloud rises over the mountains. Here’s why voting is funny. You’ll get a kick out of this. When I vote for new leadership or more progressive ideas, the person/issue I’m voting for rarely wins. Why? Because I live in conservative Utah.

Peri Kinder Life and Laughter

People tell me to just move to a different state. I don’t want to. At least not until I can afford a lighthouse on the East Coast where I can replace the light bulb with a bat signal. So, for now, I’m here in Utah, voting for things that matter to me and to many other people, without a Popsicle’s chance in hell of it working out. In fact, we started an election night drinking game. For every winner who isn’t a conservative white male, we take a shot of tequila. We’ve been sober for decades. Because here’s the truth: My vote rarely counts in Utah. Oh, our esteemed leaders say my vote counts, but they know it’s a lie. With their abstract-painting, gerrymandered districts they’ve effectively shut down my voice. I feel all I can do is

sit back with a bucket of chicken and wait for the Red State hate laws to take effect across the country. Sure, I can protest, but not too loud, right? I wouldn’t want to sound shrill. I reach out to my U.S. senators and representatives and get a form letter in response. The vast majority of my state leaders are conservative white men, afraid of losing control. I admire the elected women in Utah, fighting in the trenches for wom-

en’s rights, access to health care, gun control and education. That’s a difference I see between male and female roles: men want power, women want to lead. After being mansplained to since birth, I understand my female brain can’t comprehend the problems involved with running the state. Like, how can our leaders make money if we don’t let them relocate a prison across the valley so they can develop prime property? How can the state generate revenue on alcohol without ridiculous licensing fees and policies? How can we possibly treat educators, minorities, or uteruses with respect, without creating laws to rein them in? And then they have the gall to say, vote in the leaders you want. How? Tell me how and I’ll do it! Phew. I must be off my anti-hysterical meds. If I learned anything from running for office in junior high, it’s that voters will follow the candy. But as a female voter in Utah, I’m tired of the sugary-sweet, syrupy condescension.
