BUSY BOUNTIFUL BEES ARE HIDING ALONG MAIN
Byline
By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com
BOUNTIFUL—Something is a buzz on Main Street in Bountiful. Hidden in a variety of places, the savvy hunter can find six bronze bees depicting activities going on in the city. Find all six and there’s a prize in store. “Angela Pitt came up with the idea a couple of years ago,” said Rebecca Hatch, Community Affairs Specialist of the Public Art Program. “The city manager and council wanted some interactive art that would cater to children. She’d seen other cities do it and came up with the idea of bees. When I came on it was their goal to have the bees come to reality.” The public art advisory board and volunteers from the community brought ideas before the city for approval, she said. “They commissioned local sculptor artist Mike Call to come up with some designs and cast six bees in bronze. The city gave him the freedom to make up the designs and get them approved a few at a time. He was involved in many aspects of the design and poses and finally came to these bees.” They came up with the Bountiful Bees on Main, said Hatch. “It’s how busy
Bountiful Bees come together and work together. We also want to educate everyone about the background of bees and how to take care of them. There are a lot of beekeepers here.” The city gave Call a list of activities that had to do with Bountiful and Utah, she said. “We weren’t aiming it at businesses that just happened to be what it landed on.” The bees depict activities residents can relate to, Hatch said. “There’s a soccer bee, a bee eating ice cream, one that is shopping, another playing the guitar, a gardening one and one that is reading.” Each bee is six inches tall and hidden along Main Street, she said. “There are clues on our web page or a QR code to help find the bees. Once you find all the bees you take a picture of all of them and go to the BDAC to get a bee sticker and a bee reward.” Hatch said they invite families to walk Main Street. “It’s the best way to search for them and at the same time spend time with your family.” The six bronze bees depict activities residents can relate to. There are clues to finding the bees on the city’s website. The bees were unveiled on Oct. 27 Photos courtesy of Bountiful City and are just waiting to be found.l

Breaking the cycle of poverty through allyship By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com
A
lthough Utah’s poverty rate is one of the lowest in the nation, thousands of children in the state grow up in intergenerational poverty (IGP). More than 70% of children growing up in IGP are under 10 years old, and women have much higher odds of struggling with poverty than men. The cycle of IGP begins when a child is born in poverty. This has shown to create disadvantages at school and difficulty developing social skills. As the child grows into a teen and young adult, they struggle to find work and end up raising their own family in poverty. And the cycle continues. But Circles Salt Lake (2530 S. 500 East) is a community for those in poverty to help break the cycle and give them tools to succeed by creating allyships that support individuals and families as they learn to lift themselves to a new life. “People living in poverty don’t know the value of social capital,” said Michelle Crawford, Circles Salt Lake executive director. “When someone’s in generational poverty, they were born into poverty, most likely everyone in their circle of influence is also in poverty, they don’t have the lens to get out of it.” The Salt Lake chapter of the national program started in 2017 with two goals: help families break the chain of poverty and address barriers that keep people
stuck. People who come to the program are called circle leaders because they are leading their families in a better direction. Each circle leader is matched with an ally, a bridge between economic classes. Participants go through an initial 12-week training and are asked to commit to a minimum of 18 months. Once a circle leader has increased their household income to at least 200% of the federal poverty level, Circles holds a big celebration. “Our focus is to get them completely independent of government services,” Crawford said. “We love Medicaid and Medicare and all they do to help our participants manage their situational poverty, but we don’t want them to stay there. We want them to become independent of those services.” Circle leaders are asked to attend weekly meetings, make progress toward an economic stability plan and become a leader in their community. Many circle leaders who complete the program come back to be allies to new participants in the program. An ally’s role is part mentor, cheerleader, friend and bridge builder. Each ally is invited to attend meetings on the first and third Thursday of each month and is asked to be a consistent support for those trying to break the cycle of IGP. “What I’ve learned is that, sadly, many people in poverty
Journals T H E
are conditioned to think that’s all they’re worth. They grow up being told not to expect a better life,” Crawford said. “An ally can connect their circle leader with people in the community that can help them work toward their dream.” Living in poverty usually comes with layers of trauma including abuse, domestic violence and mental and emotional damage. So there's more to breaking the cycle of IGP than an increase in salary. Circle leaders undertake a massive mindset change that allows them to dream big and work toward a better future. If a circle leader doesn’t graduate in 18 months, they can keep attending, as long as they’re participating. Nationally, the average for graduating from the Circles program is three years. Not only do circle leaders come back to be allies, recently one was appointed to the Circles Salt Lake board of directors. “It was important to us that we weren’t just talking about poverty, that we had someone who could contribute to that conversation,” Crawford said. “Having somebody who’d recently experienced poverty to be able to give us input on the decisions we make was critical.” For more information about becoming a circle leader or ally, visit CirclesSaltLake.org. Crawford has big goals for the upcoming year, hoping to get 25-30 circle leaders enrolled in

Bountiful pastor has a single message: love
T
he welcoming statement for Bountiful Community Church is “No matter who you are, or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.” Rev. Robin Swope, the pastor of the church, upholds that mission and wants the BCC to be a refuge for any person who needs to feel accepted and loved. “I was always a little more progressive, and this church is an awesome fit,” he said. “They’re conservative progressive. They don’t judge people. They accept people for who they are. It’s a diamond in a field and I’m lucky to have found it.” Swope has led the BCC congregation for three years, after serving in places like in New York, Africa and Pennsylvania. He grew up on the East Coast in a non-practicing Catholic home and got caught up in gangs and crime as a teen. But he always felt he was trying to find his way. When he had a “moment of awakening” in the early ‘80s, he was inspired to dedicate his life to service. He earned a B.A. in Biblical Literature at Nyack College and finished an M.Div. in Pastoral Ministry at Alliance Theological Seminary, with an emphasis on marital and family counseling. He served as a missionary in Burkina Faso and had a street ministry in Brooklyn, New York, where he would try to bring the homeless population and gang members to Christ.
By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com “I’d ask them, ‘If you were to die tonight, do you know where you’d go?’ I’d go up to gang members and ask that and they’d say, ‘Why, what do you have planned?’” Before moving to Utah, Swope served as the pastor of St. Paul’s United Church of Christ in Erie, Penn. He worked to open overnight shelters for the homeless and struggled to attract young people to the church, a population that has distrust in organized religion. As congregations age, church populations are dwindling, but at BCC, Swope wants everyone to know they are welcome, either as a worshiper or a visitor. “I think we’re going to be a safe haven and our numbers will always be small. We won’t ever be a megachurch. I know many people who have megachurches and it’s isolating and I think that’s why some people don’t like that,” he said. “During the pandemic, I had a lot of challenges. I knew instinctively to be positive and uplifting, because it was a negative time. I started preaching love. Unity is love. The trappings of our exterior differences are just part of the grand tapestry of God’s work of humanity.” Swope also enjoys having conversations with people who might not understand the church’s message. He had a neighbor complain about the church displaying a rainbow flag, showing support to the LGBT+ commu-
nity. Swope explained that the teachings of Christ were inclusive and how the BCC welcomes any person searching for love. “He said, ‘I thought God brought me here to teach you and correct you, but God’s teaching me,’” Swope said. “I love to see people’s hearts change. We have inaccurate perceptions about each other. If we take down that little shroud of darkness then we’d see the light.” Swope is also a seminary-trained exorcist. He has worked with paranormal investigators, writers and production companies around the world. He is the author of several books covering supernatural events, haunted houses and possession and said there is a huge demand for information when it comes to the unfamiliar. “Christians are sort of afraid of it. It’s the lure of the unknown and the forbidden. There are forces out there that are not explained,” he said. The BCC is located at 150 N. 400 East with church services held on Sundays at 10:30 a.m., followed by coffee and refreshments. A special candlelight service will be held on Christmas Eve that the community is invited to attend. For information about the church, visit uccbccchurch.org. “We always put our politics in our religion and that’s what kills it. When we stop looking after others, it’s a trap,” he said. “It’s

not your dogma, it’s your heart, and what is that heart? It’s love. This church accepts anybody, everybody and just loves them. I’m going to be here for the rest of my life. I love my people and my people love me and it’s just great.” l

Mom and daughter duo leading Bountiful volleyball By Catherine Garrett | c.garrett@mycityjournals.com
W
hether or not it’s a storybook ending for Bountiful High’s Evalyn “Evi” Chism as a setter for the Redhawks volleyball program, it’s certainly been a fairy-tale journey for the senior and her mom, Sarah Chism, who is the BHS head coach. Coach Chism, who has been heading up the program for eight years has had an especially sweet experience the past four seasons in sharing the court with her daughter. “Because I’m coaching all of the girls, I really don’t have the ability to spend much time with her to explain things all of the time, but because we already have an emotional bank account between us, I can be more short and direct with her and she accepts and even appreciates that,” Sarah Chism said. “Coaching her has been truly a dream though because she listens to feedback and the changes she makes are tangible and immediate.” “It’s been very very special to share this experience with my mom,” the daughter of Matt and Sarah Chism of Bountiful said, particularly noting the celebration of the Redhawks’ 5A state title last season. “What an incredible journey it has been to go through the struggles and trials and come out on top.” Evi grew up mainly playing basketball before deciding around her junior high years that volleyball was the sport for her. “I loved the sport as well as the connection it brought me and my mom,” she said. Coach Chism, who by then was the head coach at Bountiful and had led the team to consecutive 4A state championships in 2015 and 2016, said, “Evi was always in the gym when I was coaching the high school girls and she thought it looked so fun and the girls were so nice to her,” Sarah Chism said. “She just loved watching and waiting for her turn to try out and be a part of the team.” With her commitment to volleyball, Evi was also determined to be a setter, just like her mom, despite Sarah’s encouragement that she try another position on the court. “She wanted to touch the ball a lot and direct the team where to go and have an impact on the game,” Sarah Chism said. After beginning to develop her skills in club volleyball – where her mom “has always been there even if she wasn’t my direct coach,” Evi excelled quickly within the high school varsity ranks. As a freshman starting setter, she led her team to a top-five finish and then a 5A state semifinal spot, where Bountiful lost to eventual champion Timpview, as a sophomore in a year where she earned Third Team All-State recognition. It was that 2020 final four loss that pushed Evi to “constantly try to progress,” and her individual and the team’s collective efforts culminated in the state title last fall as a First Team All-State player this time around. “Pressure moments don’t affect Evi, and she really came like that,” Sarah Chism said. “The way she sees the game is very strategic

and she has a real feel for the flow of the game. She makes her teammates better through her consistent play, and I can also trust that she’s going to make the right decisions.” This season, the 5’10” setter eclipsed the 3,000 career assists mark in a match against Lone Peak early in October and currently sits at third all-time in Utah with 3,134. The Bountiful squad she runs the offense for is currently 25-1 and they are ramping up to defend their state title which would be their fourth championship since Coach Chism was brought in a month into the 2015 season – with her college teammate Sabrina Hughes – to be interim coaches. Chism has a record of 178-46 over her eight seasons with Bountiful and has also led the program to six region titles in that span, including the last two Region 5 championships. With this being Evi’s last year of high school volleyball, there is certainly some emotion tied to the season for mother and daughter. “Instead of focusing on everything being her last though, we’re choosing to embrace and celebrate what we’ve done,” Sarah Chism said. “We also want to focus on the task at hand, what’s in front of us and take care of business.” After the season, Evi will graduate early and move on to play for Utah Valley University where she will follow in her mother’s footsteps as a collegiate volleyball player – Sarah Chism played for three years at Dixie College and the University of Utah during the mid1990s. “I always wanted to play college sports and I feel so blessed to be able to keep playing the sport that I love,” Evi said. Her mom saw that potential in her daughter to play at the next level as well. “Mentally, I knew Evi could be there as she’s such a high IQ player and has the competitiveness and drive, so I just felt like if she could do it physically, that was all it would take,” Sarah Chism said. Evi said that UVU matched up with what she was looking for in a college program. “It was important for me to find a coaching situation like my mom created here where they truly care about you as a person and your overall development, not just with volleyball,” she said. “My mom talks about how volleyball seems

like it’s so important right now, but it will end at some point and she has taught us countless things like how to be a leader, be a good teammate, pull people along, ask for help, work through hard things and keep going, learn from trials and have grit and not give up.” Sarah Chism said, “Evi has learned everything that I have and I’m so proud of how well-rounded she is in seeing volleyball for what it is and not having it be her identity. I’m excited for what’s ahead for her. It’s going to be so awesome to just literally now go and cheer and be her biggest fan.”
Evi’s cheering squad will also include her dad and three brothers – two of whom played basketball for Bountiful – and her 14-year-old brother, Landon, who’s become the tallest of the bunch and is playing volleyball as his sport of choice. And though the time on the court will end for Evi and her mom together, the memories and their close relationship will remain. “She hasn’t just been my volleyball coach, she’s also my life coach,” Evi said. “And my best friend,” Sarah Chism added. l

t’s not often that you meet someone who can dance, act, sing and talk to you about anthropology. That’s one combination that makes Emery Ronan Bacon quite unique. The 24-year-old actress, who grew up in Bountiful and graduated from West High and later the University of California at Berkeley, has been charting her own professional course for years. She left Utah for Berkeley to study biology and anthropology, and after earning her undergraduate degree, she moved to San Jose. There, she became a member of the South Bay Musical Theatre (SBMT) troupe and is now part of the cast of “Company,” the Tony Award-winning musical comedy by legendary composer Stephen Sondheim. It played at the Saratoga Civic Center last month. How do you combine two completely different disciplines? Emery said they actually coexist quite comfortably. “The way I think of it is that I’m very lucky to get to do both,” she said during a telephone interview from California. “My day job is as a research assistant with a pharmaceutical research company, and musical theater is sort of how I unwind.” She serves as understudy for two character roles in the musical – Kathy, one of the girlfriends, and Sarah, one of the wives. “Most of my training has been dance-focused,” she said, “but I do act and sing. I trained with Dance Impressions in Bountiful for eight years and then for two years at Valley West Academy. That led me into theater at West High School.”

With a show like “Company,” she said, “I get to work with performers who are absolutely incredible singers. I’m lucky to work with them.” Emery is preparing to pursue a master’s degree in forensic anthropology – yes, she wants to work with a coroner’s office or a police department to help identify skeletal remains. It’s a “wide open field and very, very different from musical theater. I do love acting and I’m grateful for now that I can do both, and plan to even after graduating with my master’s.” Following the run of “Company,” she’s eyeing a role in a production of “Beauty and the Beast,” and hopes to get involved with SBMT’s next production of “Singing in the Rain” next May. l

Tolman Elementary named National PTA School of Excellence By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—The National PTA has selected Tolman Elementary as one of 242 schools in the nation and one of nine in the state as a 2022/2023 National PTA School of Excellence. The award is the result of a collaboration between school leaders and the PTA with support from the community to create a partnership between families and the school. “During the enrollment period at the end of the school year we had to decide on a project to help improve the school,” said Tolman PTA President Matt Jenkins. “We had to show our ideas and how we’d do it. Then we presented the project and they selected a winner.” Jenkins said the PTA committee sent out a survey at the school for ideas of a project they could do. “Getting more male involvement rose to the top and then we determined how we could reach that goal. We decided to create an opportunity for dads or other father figures to come to the school during recess and act as role mod-
els.”
They could come spend time with their student or other students to play games or whatever they’d like to do, he said. “We created a sign up online for every day of the week. They could sign up for morning or afternoon or both. Last year they had to get a background check so that made it a little bit difficult. They had to be really committed. It’s easier this year.” There were three dads that came regularly, said Jenkins. “We’re hoping to get more involvement this year.” The National PTA sent a banner and the Utah PTA presented the award, he said. “It was the best morning so far.” More community involvement is what makes a school great, Jenkins said. “The added support from the community takes us to a whole new level. We want people to experience what’s happening at the school before forming an opinion. Come and see.” l

Neal is one of two students who sit on the board to look at things from their point of view. “I want to be an example for other people,” said Neal. “I wasn’t the most popular kid in school and this allows me to talk to kids in a more meaningful way.” Neal will help report to the school board how kids are doing. “You can tell the board really cares about the kids by how much they talk about them and they want them to succeed as much as they can.” The student members have an SBO council that meets once a month. “Different SBOs come down and meet with us,” he said. “We can get down to the meat of what we need to do to better serve others. Leadership is serving others.” Superintendent (Dan) Linford said the SBO sweater gives them more access in the school, said Neal. “There are unique challenges in every school. One school was working on the homecoming dance and another one shared what they’d done. It was
awesome to see them work together and collaborate to benefit the other school.” It’s the multiplier effect, he said. “You have a multiplier effect when you interact with multiple students.” As a senior, Neal has the opportunity to mentor the younger class. “We all had a unique experience with the pandemic,” he said. “We want to know how we can make it better for the sophomores and juniors so they’re ready to take over when they’re seniors.” According to his mother, Neal is a go-getter and a shiner upper, he said. “I’m co-captain of the debate team, I’m in DECA and FBLA, marching band and the wind ensemble. I’m working on my Eagle Scout and trying to get it before I’m 18.” Neal also works at In-N-Out Burger and loves working there. “There’s never a boring day in my life.” Serving on the school board will give him an opportunity to see other’s perspectives, said Neal. “Having a student voice is really important. There are different view points across the district and I’m happy to share mine.” l

District now offers Military Educational Therapists By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—The Davis School District Student & Family Resources Department offers several programs to help connect students and families with the resources they need. They have four fulltime Integrated Educational Therapists (IET) that rove throughout the district working with all the schools to provide services that meet the needs of students without benefits. Through a partnership with the military, they now provide Military Educational Therapists (MET). “In the spring the military came with a pot of money to have a program,” said Casey Layton, District Director of Responsive Services, Crisis Response Team Secondary Case Management. “It’s for military families whether they have a military background or are serving.” It’s not just the Purple Star schools, he said. “There are two military family advocates that will be roving through the district to all branches of the military, not just the Air Force. They’ll also work with special education students and those with a 504 or IEP.” The advocates will provide brief therapy stabilization and group therapy for students who have experienced constant moving and are always new to the area, said Layton. “We’ve got a lot of agencies to help with this. We meet as an organization with school principals, school counselors and counselors from the base to identify the biggest need and how to serve

them (students). We might decide the Military Family Life Counselor (MFLC) would be best to meet with and we’ll work with the military liaison to do what’s best for kids.” The department also works with nonmilitary students and families. “We’ve added family service workers to connect families to resources at the elementary level,” Layton said. “We have provided advocates and personnel staff at the Teen Centers. I’m really excited about what they have to offer. It’s Maslow’s Law, where do you go for clean clothes and a meal?” IETs make eight to 10 visits and one to two stabilization visits, he said. “We facilitate those and manage their caseload.” There’s a lot of responsive services out in the community and in the school setting, said Layton. “It’s exciting. The superintendent and school board find funding for these programs. We’ve been working for the last five years to get going in this area. We’ve always wanted to but didn’t have the means. We’re helping a lot of kids.” To find out what programs the district offers visit their webpage under Student & Family Resources. To start any kind of referral parents should talk to an administrator or the school counselor who can get them connected to resources. l
Holidays in grief can be particularly challenging with familiar and sentimental sights, sounds, and smells reminding us our loved one is not here. Because this period of the year is built around relationships, a death in the family can make these weeks very difficult. But rather than attempt to just “grope our way” through these special days, there are ways to grow personally through the holidays as grief becomes transformative for us. Saying goodbye to a loved one is anything but easy, especially if well-meaning friends and family members expect you to just “get on with your life.” Allow time and space for grieving and crying this holiday season. Keeping a journal can provide a vital opportunity for reflection during the holidays. These weeks will not be the same as before because of the “empty chair” at the table so the pain is inevitable. A list of favorite holiday activities might be quite lengthy but make that list anyway. The list might include many holiday traditions such when the house is decorated, when and where worship takes place, and in whose home the family meals are shared. Though it is impossible to do everything “just like when Mom was here,” you can evaluate what you do for the holidays and determine, with your family’s help, which of those traditions you want to preserve. In evaluating holiday traditions, consider creating something new. Lighting a special candle, purchasing a unique holiday decoration, providing gifts to a needy family, or hosting an international student can become meaningful holiday traditions. Well-meaning friends or family may want you to attend parties and gatherings, hoping to “cheer you up” but take control of your schedule and do only as much celebrating as you feel ready to do. Choosing which events to participate in acknowledges that grief is a tiring experience. Even under the best of circumstances, holidays can be taxing so attempting to attend every event, party, or celebration may bring about total exhaustion. Instead, say “no” to some well-intentioned invitations. Simply remind friends, “My energy level hasn’t returned to where it was before he died; thank you for understanding my need to decline.” Pay close attention to physical well-being, too. Adequate rest, good nutrition, and moderate exercise is essential for the grief process. Lean meats with fresh fruits and vegetables are better choices than sugar- and fat-laden treats. If your health care provider approves, a brisk walk or other moderate exercise can help you feel better physically and emotionally. And eating a healthy diet coupled with moderate exercise is a remedy for insomnia for many mourners. Be sure to consider the spiritual aspects of life, too. Because holidays have spiritual roots make sure to include time for worship and reflection during this period. Volunteering to help others or making a memorial contribution is a meaningful way to put feet to faith during the holiday season. While it is inevitable to face pain at the holidays, following these suggestions can help bereaved individuals and families find transformative growth during this special season of the year.

learfield Mayor Mark Shepherd understands it’s not enough to rehab a city, it needs to be recreated. Over the last few years, Clearfield City officials have worked to create a place that attracts vibrant businesses and residents. It must be working because the city was recognized by Fortune magazine as one of the best places to live for families. Listed at number six, Clearfield got high reviews for its location, diversity, high school graduation rate and quality medical facilities. “People have ignored us forever,” Shepherd said. “We were a city that in essence had died. The businesses, the people, everything was going to cities around us. We were probably the low-income capital of Davis. We just lost our place and it took bringing it back and having people pay attention. We were committed to making some changes and making this a much more inviting place.” With its proximity to the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake Shoreland Preserve, Clearfield attracts hikers and bird-watchers to its many trails. The city also provides activities for senior residents with classes like art and yoga, and offers many senior living centers. Clearfield celebrated its centennial birthday this year and leaders created several events to get residents excited about living in the city. “We challenged our communications department to really do some fun family events, so we started that with our glow party on the bridge,” Shepherd said. “It’s those kinds of activities that we’re trying to bring back to the city and get people involved.” The glow party was held on the Center Street Bridge, which was closed for the event. Nearly 2,000 participants wore glow sticks and danced until 11 p.m. Additionally, the annual paint the bridge Fourth of July celebration invited the public to paint stars on the bridge, and a back-to-school part on the bridge featured bubble guns and foam that covered the entire bridge. It’s not just the interactive events that earned the city its ranking. City officials are dedicated to growth with the approval of thousands of housing units, including 200 single-family homes. “We’ve gone more dense than any other city,” he said. “In the last four years, we have approved, built or entitled 4,000 housing units, which for a city of 35,000 is an enormous bump.” Student success was a metric used by Fortune and Clearfield High School boasts a 96.3% graduation rate. “We might not be the sports capital of Davis County, our football team may struggle, but that’s not what they’re there

for. They’re getting a great education and doing wonderful,” Shepherd said. “While we might not have the highest percentage of graduations in the county, although we’re pretty close now, we did have the highest number of students who graduate from high school that went on to finish college.” Developing a relationship with Hill Air Force Base has benefited both parties as Clearfield is the west gate for the base. The Falcon Hill Aerospace Research Park,
located in Clearfield, has more than 1 million square feet of commercial development, covering 550 acres. Shepherd has been dedicated to growth in Clearfield for many years. He is completing his ninth year as mayor but he also served for nine years on the planning commission and six on the city council. “We get overlooked a lot because we’re an older city,” Shepherd said. “But I really truly believe we have a great place to live.” l

The inaugural Jordan River celebration highlights the work being done to preserve the waterway
F
By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com
lowing through the center of the Salt Lake Valley, the 50mile long Jordan River has experienced a revival over the last 10 years. As one of the major tributaries to the Great Salt Lake, the Jordan River has become the focus of conservation and preservation efforts. The Jordan River Commission will celebrate and recognize people and organizations who have spurred the resurgence of the river at an event on Thursday, Nov. 10 from 4-8 p.m. at the new Zions Bancorporation Technology Center (7860 S. Bingham Junction Blvd.) in Midvale. “It’s going to be a multifaceted event with tours of the parkway, with art, with music, with dinner and recognition of these special contributors to the work we’re doing to improve the parkway and make it more accessible,” said Soren Simonsen, Jordan River Commission executive director. “We want to open up opportunities for education and arts and expression.” The inaugural event will feature a tour of the Zions campus and Jordan River Parkway, including a bike ride to the Big Bend Nature Reserve. Participants are encouraged to bring their own bikes, although some bikes will be available on site. The tour is free and open to the public from 4-5:30 p.m. Following the tour, a celebration dinner will recognize Jordan River champions who are dedicated to improving, preserving and restoring the river and the parkway. Tickets are $30 and seating is limited. Ticketing information is available on the Jordan River Commission’s social media pages or at JordanRiverCommission.com.
We’re hoping this will be a magical evening that focuses on the river in a location that’s really beautiful and overlooks the river,” Simonsen said. “It's a brand new facility and is connected to the Jordan River Parkway.” The new Zions Bancorporation Technology Center promotes biodiversity and provides additional habitat for the river. Zions has incorporated a bike share program so employees can use the parkway to bike to work. Artwork in the building focuses on the beauty of the area. During the event, the Center for Documentary Expression and Arts will present photo documentary work created along the Jordan River. The Jordan River flows through three counties and 16 cities, with each section adding different attractions. Boat launches, nature walks, stormwater treatment and bird sanctuaries have brought attention to the river which connects Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake. Keeping the river healthy is one of the ways to help the Great Salt Lake. “It’s hard to talk about the Great Salt Lake without talking about its tributaries. Obviously, when you see the really low water levels of the Great Salt Lake and you see the low water levels of some parts of the Jordan River, it’s easy to make the connection,” he said. “We’ve used the focus on the Great Salt Lake to remind people that the Jordan River is part of the solution to what’s ailing the lake. This is a good opportunity to raise awareness about that.” The event is presented by the Jordan River Commission

and Jordan River Foundation, with support from the Salt Lake County ZAP program and Zions Bank. Next year, it will become part of the monthlong Get to the River Festival held in September. “There’s a lot that’s been accomplished and you can see a lot of momentum around the river right now,” Simonsen said. “Every city that touches the river is participating in the commission.” l

Davis County Amateur Radio Club going strong after more than 30 years By Peri Kinder | peri.k@davisjournal.com
F
or more than 100 years, amateur radio has played a part in the country’s history. Since the first wireless telegraph club formed in 1908 at Columbia University, amateur radio continues to attract new enthusiasts to the unique form of communication. Larry Claussen is the president of the Davis County Amateur Radio Club which has been around since the early ‘80s. Back then, the club’s amateur radio operators (also known as “hams”) responded to emergency service situations, helping out when communication systems were down. It’s a role ham radio operators still fill today. “We’re there to help people communicate when nothing else works,” Claussen said. “When something significant happens, good or bad, the first thing we do is grab our phones to tell people. As great and as wonderful as the cell phone companies have been for getting more connectivity out there, there’s always going to be that critical mass where all of sudden, things don’t work.” With 200 active members in the club, amateur radio operators assist in several ways throughout the county. Members directed parking lot traffic during the Davis Marching Band competition, helping relay information to participants and spectators. The club also helps with communication during the Bountiful Handcart Parade each July. Lisa Cook has been with the club for five years. After living in Bountiful for 30 years, Cook now lives in Fruit Heights and serves with the Davis County Amateur Radio Emergency Services group. “When we had the windstorm, I was sitting in a church
parking lot, helping to request trucks,” Cook said. “During the windstorm that morning, the cell phones weren’t working right. The reliable communication method was radio. Our technology works when nothing else does.” Cook considers herself one of the babies of the club. As a math teacher in Davis County, she’s even lobbied to have ham radio operating accepted as part of the school curriculum. She works with beginning operators, getting them comfortable talking on the equipment. Club members meet on the second Saturday of each month to practice working together and learning the how-tos of the amateur radio community. Knowing when to talk and when to listen, getting familiar with the war wagon where portable equipment is stored, studying for the FCC licensing exam and learning how to send radio grams are just a few topics covered. “We practice what we’re doing so there’s discipline,” Claussen said. “The amateur radio community is a fairly significant community around the world. We get to know each other and in times of disaster we can act to get messages into the affected area and out of the affected area without using the standard infrastructure.” Radio grams are popular in the radio community and are similar to old teletype messages. The radio gram bounces from one operator to another until the message gets to the right person, all using only the radio network. Emergency service training is ongoing so club members can assist law enforcement with communications. By providing equipment, talking regularly with the sheriff’s depart-

ment and encouraging members to get their license, the club is a valuable resource when regular communication systems are down. “When the time comes, when they need us, a call comes in and we activate the network,” Claussen said. For more information about the amateur radio club, visit dcarc.net. “You don’t need equipment to join,” Cook said. “I got involved because I did a testing session. I love knowledge and I love to learn. I think we have to keep learning so I started getting involved.”l

Utah Jazz and Instructure accepting nominations for top educators By Peri Kinder | peri.k@thecityjournals.com
N
ominations are now open for the Utah Jazz Most Valuable Educators, presented by Instructure, the Utah-based creator of the Canvas Learning Management System. The public is invited to nominate local teachers who make an impact at their school, in their community, and who inspire students. The appreciation program will honor 14 educators throughout the 2022-23 Jazz regular season with the first recipient announced on Friday, Nov. 18 at Vivint Arena (301 S. Temple) during the Jazz home game against the Phoenix Suns. “The outpouring of nominations last season only reinforced the importance of this program and the community’s desire to publicly thank and recognize our educators,” said Jim Olson, Utah Jazz president. Each winning educator will receive a $1,000 classroom grant (courtesy of Instructure), a surprise classroom visit or assembly, a personalized Jazz jersey and free tickets to a Jazz game where they will be guests of Instructure. Students, parents, peer educators, principals or school administrators can nominate the person they consider to be the most valuable K-12 and higher education teachers in Utah. Find the nomination form at utahjazz. com/MVE.
“Our program recognizes teachers that go above and beyond every day to engage our kids’ curiosity and show them just how fun learning can be,” said Steve Daly, CEO of Instructure. “It’s a tough time for educators and it’s more important than ever to recognize all they do and find ways to do more for them. Join me in nominating your favorite teacher and showcasing the amazing work they are doing to help our children feel safe, heard and excited to learn.” Instructure will also provide 300 tickets for Utah educators to attend the Jazz game on March 18, 2023. Throughout the game, teachers will be recognized for their work in the community and given the opportunity to participate in activities. Fans who attend the game can write their own messages of gratitude for educators. All 14 honorees of the Most Valuable Educators program will be invited to attend an awards dinner with the Utah Jazz and Instructure at the end of the season. “We are grateful for Instructure to honor and showcase the hard work of our educators by putting a spotlight on them and acknowledging their tremendous impact on Alison Bulson (right) is honored as one of the Utah Jazz and Instructure's Most Valuable Educators at a our children,” Olson said. l Jazz game during the 2021-22 season.

Donated dentistry program celebrates 10 years of giving patients back their smile By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com KAYSVILLE—A program that has provided more than $1 million in dental services celebrated 10 years last month of helping those who might not otherwise receive the oral care they need. The Pantry Smiles donated dental program is a partnership between Davis Technical College (DTC), Weber State University (WSU), the Bountiful Community Food Pantry and area dentists and hygienists. “Both Lorna (Koci) and I were on the board of directors for the food pantry,” said Jim Guinn, a dentist who helped start the program. “We saw people with a terrific need come into the food pantry who didn’t have the resources for it (dentistry). We got some money from the Bountiful Food Pantry and some federal and private grants to do this. We never charge money for anything we do.” It’s for people whose household income is less than 150 percent of the Federal Poverty Level, he said. “People who don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid are falling through the hole here.” It’s all volunteer and it’s pretty much stayed that way, Guinn said. “We do all facets of dentistry except implants. Specialists prefer that we refer them to their office. We reimburse the doctor for overhead, salary for assistants and materials. The dentists have been very generous in seeing our patients.” “Pantry Smiles started out with two dental chairs,” said Cathy Turnbow, Pantry Smiles Clinical Director. “Students didn’t get to practice with only two chairs. From that it became so busy we went to four chairs and
now we’ve grown to 10 chairs because we utilize it.” Not only do patients benefit, it’s been a great learning experience for dental students at DTC. “I call it work based learning,” said Cathy Turnbow, Pantry Smiles Clinical Director. “They only train students on manikins so when they go to an office there’s a learning curve so they’re further behind. This gives them the experience of working on real mouths with real saliva.” It also helps students with community involvement by giving back, she said. “DTC President (Darin) Brush calls it Community Centric Education. Other technical schools have nice facilities but they don’t do dental work on a regular basis.” WSU hygienists come twice a month, said Turnbow. “It gives the students a chance to learn about working with a hygienist. The hygienists love working with Pantry Smiles. At school they have to get their own patients. When they come here there are patients waiting.” Celise Herlin graduated from the dental assistant program at DTC two years ago and now she is a full-time instructor. “It’s so nice,” said Herlin. “They’ve been using a manikin but it’s helpful to practice their skills on real patients. Our patients are so patient with them. It’s a win, win for everyone. The dental assistants need practice and the patients need dental work.” Patients come in for an initial treatment plan, she said. “We get to know them and find out their back story. I have a lot of empathy for them. We get patients from all

over. Meeting people from everywhere is pretty fun.” The best part of Pantry Smiles is when patients cry out with joy, said Herlin. “We’ve given them their smile back.”l

Fifth Teen Center opens at Layton High By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—What started out as one Teen Center at Clearfield High has now grown to five with the latest opening last month at Layton High. Three other centers recently opened at Mountain High, Northridge and Renaissance Academy and a sixth will soon be completed at Woods Cross High. Teen Resource Centers serve at-risk students, some experiencing homelessness, by providing a quiet place to study, do laundry, shower, eat and meet with counselors who can connect them with the services they need to be successful in school. The Connection Center at Layton High was built in a repurposed space inside the school so students can access the facility before and after school or as part of their class schedule. The center also has a full community food pantry. Layton High students raised more $60,000 for the center. “Good people are doing good things,” said School Board Vice President Marie Stevenson at the ribbon cutting ceremony. “Students recognized a need. It’s amazing how they’re looking out for their peers. This center will rewrite the story for many students’ lives. It provides acceptance and a place to go when the storms of life are too great.” Stevenson compared it to an experience she had at Bear Lake. “I came to a stream and it was too wide for me to jump across,” she
said. “I noticed a flat rock in the middle of the stream where I could cross by stepping on the stone. I wondered who put that there. I thought about the teen center and how students who have gone before can leave stepping stones so that other students can cross. It will change people’s lives for the better and for the good.” “The first of the year we went to each business and asked for a donation to get us started,” said student body officer Todd Bowden. “It really brought the school together. It was an important cause to unify the school. It gave me a new perspective on this. I put in a lot of money and my friends put in a lot of money. It’s an important part of the school that will change people’s lives.” Davis Community Learning Center Teen Center Director Jenica Whitworth started as a family advocate at Clearfield High. “It gives them a safe place to come and tell their story to a trusting adult,” she said. “There are family advocates at each center. They have a bachelor’s degree and are trained in trauma informed practices to hear the students’ story and get them the resources they need. They respond to each student and give them individualized services.” When the Teen Center at Clearfield High opened we had students who were not looking at a post secondary degree, said Whitworth. “When they came to the teen center they

helped them fill out FAFSA forms and made other resources available. Now some are enrolled at Weber State. It’s an amazing trajectory for them and their families.” There are 33 students at Layton High who are experiencing homelessness. “Student homelessness is a quiet, but pervasive issue in Davis County,” said Jodi Lunt, executive director of the Davis Education Foundation. “These children lack access to the very basic essentials that we all take for granted. Teen centers help to provide students in need with those essen-
CONCRETE LEVELING & LIFTING
tials, while maintaining their safety and dignity. More than anything though, they facilitate hope and connect these kids to a caring adult who can help navigate their challenges.” “These are the kids I think about when I try to sleep at night and sometimes I feel so helpless,” said Superintendent Dr. Dan Linford. “This teen center will help me not feel so helpless. At Davis School District our motto is ‘we make dreams come true.’ Thanks for helping us make our dreams come true.” l

Local woman’s business is all about the fit By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—It may not be a topic most people would talk about in mixed company, but it is something all women deal with – getting a bra that fits. A local woman has made it her mission to help women find what they need so that they are more comfortable and confident. “If they have a bra that fits, they feel better and their clothes look better,” said Courtney Killpack, owner of Bra Fittings by Courtney. “I stumbled upon the industry. While I was in college at UVU I had a job at Nordstrom’s in the lingerie department. I had a clientele that would come and only see me.” Most women don’t even know how to fit, she said. “They learn from their moms who learned from their moms. Things have changed in 25 years. There are new brands that are empowering to women.” Killpack said she quit Nordstrom's after college. “When I started having kids I was at home and got bored. I was trying to find something to do and I loved fitting bras and I was naturally good with educating people. So I set up a shop in my
house in Kaysville five years ago.” Over the years it’s just continued to grow, she said. “After two and a half years we realized we needed a larger home. There were bras everywhere. In 2020 we moved to Layton.” Then the pandemic hit and the business had to shut down for six weeks, Killpack said. “It was actually the biggest year for us because all of the department stores had stopped because of COVID.” The company recently won the Intima Award in France. “We won for fan favorite,” said Killpack. “It was for engaging the audience on social media. I went to New York in July to accept the award.” Killpack’s shop carries a wide range of bras from nursing to prosthetics. “Pretty much anything you need we have it,” she said. “We have all the sizes in the world. Most people don’t carry that many. Most of them I get from Europe. They’re brands you can’t find easily. I want it to be a bra destination where women can come in and find beautiful things.” Customers make an appoint-
ment online. “There’s a separate entrance into the shop,” said Killpack. “Either me or one of my fitters will work with them. They’re professionally trained.” Women should get a new bra every nine to 10 months, she said. “People lose weight, etc. or the bra wears out.” Although it might seem intimidating to come in for a bra fitting, Killpack said she tries to make it a good experience. “I have an outgoing, warm personality. We make it a safe, welcoming space. We have fun and comfortable music. There’s a good vibe here.” At first Killpack said her husband thought it was weird. “But then it turned into a positive experience. It’s something every woman needs. It’s taught my kids to work hard and if they have dreams they’re passionate about they can do it.” Killpack said she never thought she’d be this successful. “I love helping people feel good about themselves.” To schedule an appointment visit brafittingsbycourt.com. l

School board president works to keep students in mind By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—From NFL referee to school board president, John Robison has pretty much seen it all. He’s been in education for more than 30 years and started as a baseball coach at Woods Cross High and coached at Davis and had an opportunity to become a referee for some supplemental income. “When I started refereeing I hadn’t considered the NFL,” he said. “I had my sights set on college. Then a friend suggested I apply to be an official in the NFL. I thought ‘what the heck’ and started the process.” He was a referee in the NFL for 10 years. “Nine out of the 10 were playoff games,” said Robison. “Friday I’d get on a plane, do a game and come home and be back in school Monday morning.” Robison said they’d meet for three to four hours and watch a lot of film. “Three hours before the game they’d bring out 24 brand new footballs.” Everyone had security guys right there with them the whole time, he said. “One time in Chicago the security guard tackled a guy because he was coming after me. I got death threats four or five times.” Now Robison sits on the Davis School Board of Education. “I retired from the
Page 18 Nov. 2022
district in 2014,” he said. “I love education. My wife is an educator and three of my daughters are educators.” Then someone approached him to run for the school board. “I’ve served six years as president,” he said. “It’s a four-year term. I started in 2016 and took the oath in 2017. I was reelected in 2020-2021 and have two years remaining. I’m glad I ran, I’ve loved it.” The board’s mission by state statute is to establish policy and write and modify policy, said Robison. “We’re charged with making sure policy is followed. We’re over the budget and making sure money is being managed appropriately and responsibly. We’re also over the superintendent and business administration and evaluate them. Day to day they run the district and keep us up to date.” During public comments at board meetings, the board cannot respond, said Robison. “At the beginning I read the rules they must follow. The board can ask a question of the public but at that time they will not get an answer from me but we’ll get a hold of you.” A big challenge the board faced was how to return to school after COVID. “We had to make the decision whether to go full day, half day, hybrid or virtual.”
Schools are a place where children are taken care of during the school day, he said. “Schools fill the void of helping parents. A small percentage want us to raise their kids. Some say ‘from 8 to 3 he’s not my kid – he’s yours,’ but that’s very rare. That’s the reality of society. It fills a void, an important void.” Social media is also a difficult challenge for the board, said Robison. “One Facebook post and our inbox is filled with the same questions. It’s an issue someone brought to you. You don’t know anything about it, you just saw the post. It loses its value if it’s not impacting a child but was just picked up through Facebook.” Robison said he answered a thousand emails one weekend over the hybrid schedule. “The vast majority didn’t have the information.” The pandemic had a huge impact on teachers, he said. “The governor came out, the health department came out and did what they had to do. Third grade teachers taught all day long then at night worked with a child online. We all know how tough the pandemic was for us but that pales to what it was for them.” Robison said he’s excited about the direction the district is taking. “We’re do-

ing so well. Dr. (Fidel) Montero has the core interest of kids and teachers. We’ve got an amazing superintendent. He became amazing on day one. He’s always thinking of the best interest of the kids. We’re in good shape.” l

Veterans serve to protect the freedoms Americans enjoy By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—Veterans Day is a time to remember those who have served or are serving in the military to protect the freedoms Americans enjoy. Not only do they serve but so do their families back home as they often spend several months or even longer away from them. “He hasn’t been deployed but he had to have his bags packed just in case,” said Jenna Harker about her husband Jon. “That’s just kind of the game.” Jon has been in the Army reserves since 2008, she said. “He’s a Medic E-5 and working on becoming an E-6. We got married in 2014 and have a 6-year-old daughter.” Harker said Jon speaks fluent Spanish so he goes on humanitarian missions to other countries to translate and check on people’s health. “He was in El Salvador for a month or so.” He was active for almost a year and stationed in El Paso, Texas, said Harker. “It was the longest time we’d been a part. Our daughter is used to it. She knows that dad has two jobs and on the weekend he does drills and flies somewhere for the military.” “I joined in 2008 mostly because I didn’t like my job and I needed a change,” said Jon. “I was 24, so a little older. I was smart enough to know what I was getting into. It’s been a wonderful experience.” There’s always the fear of being deployed and gone for a year, he said. “Or worse, getting killed when you’re married and have a family. It’s hard, your husband or wife gets pulled into it. They go through the stress just as bad as the service member.” Retired U.S. Army Col. Kathleen H. Switzer has experienced both sides as a military wife and as a service member herself. Two out of her three children are also in the military. “We’re quite a military family,” she said. “I’ve had a conventional private life but my work life has been non conventional.” There weren’t a lot of opportunities for women in the military year ago, said Switzer. “When I was in high school I had aunts who were in the nursing Army Corps in WWII. I thought I would join the nursing core. I also wanted to be a lawyer but in the 1950s that was not an option for me.” Switzer married a military man and she became a military wife. “For the first 40 years of my life I moved all over the next 40 years I lived in Bountiful.” She worked as a civilian nurse as her children got older, said Switzer. “I was able to return to the plans I had 15 years earlier. In 1979 they started opening up for women to serve in the military.” Switzer went into the nursing Army reserves. “My children were raised,” she said. “I decided against active duty so I joined the reserves at Fort Douglas. I was deployed to

the Persian Gulf from 1990-1991. My husband sent me off just like I sent him off.” In the meantime, Switzer had finished law school. “I was a dual lawyer and nurse,” she said. “I was stationed in Germany. I was part of the active duty contingency plan for receiving a high level of casualties. Fortunately there were not nearly as many as what we expected but it became the model with plans in place to accomplish those things.” It was an intense experience in Germany, said Switzer. “It gave me an appreciation for the kinds of people who serve in the military.” When Switzer came back she retired as a Colonel. “I was the first woman com-
mander of a brigade training medics and LPNs.” Pete Sarris grew up living in Centerville and Bountiful and served in Desert Shield and Desert Storm from 1989-1991. “I’ve wanted to be a Marine since I was 8 years old,” said Sarris. “So I joined the Marine Corp and was deployed overseas to Asia, Japan, the Philippines, Tokyo and more.” Sarris said in 1990 when the war broke out he was one of the first ones to go to Saudi Arabia. “It was quite an experience. Preparing for war is just about as big a rush as being in war. We created a lot of diversions for what we were doing.” When he did get deployed, Sarris was part of the 1-9 Walking Dead. “That was only done in wartime,” he said. “They were some of the craziest people but they were good at what they did. I was good at what
I did. I was used to being around hot situations.” He was also one of the first ones to liberate the Kuwait airport and Kuwait city. “They were happy to see us.” Sarris said he came home with some PTSD issues so he’s focused on helping other veterans. “I take vets sailing. We’ve sailed by the Statue of Liberty and done some pretty crazy stuff. It’s saved my life volunteering my time.” Jenna Harker said it’s hard to see the divisiveness in the country. “People are against the military but when we’re going to war it’s a whole different story. They say ‘where’s our military?’ They should support them and realize they’re there to help to make our country safe. They join to do good for the country. It’s hard for sure.” l

‘Learning to Breathe’ helps kids find relief from anxiety in a challenging world By Becky Ginos | becky.g@davisjournal.com LAYTON—Kids are faced with many difficult challenges right now and sometimes they can be overwhelming. A new program through Davis Behavioral Health in the Davis School District (DSD) is teaching coping skills so that kids can focus on school and life. “The ‘Learning to Breathe’ program curriculum is research based,” said Rachel Reist, Mindfulness Programs Coordinator for Davis Behavioral Health (DBH). “Last year we did a pilot in four elementaries in the sixth grade. It was well received. We received some Communities that Care funding to expand the program.” Reist said they partnered with DSD to train a team of instructors. “They go into the classroom and teachers receive the instruction and together they do the daily practices to develop the skills.” Data from the SHARP (Student Health and Risk Prevention) survey identified that there are symptoms of concern at that age, she said. “We want to do intervention before junior high and before they reach adolescence.” “DBH approached us last year as they were writing a grant to teach L2B to sixth grade classrooms,” said Kathleen Chronis-
ter, Director of Social Emotional Learning with the district. “We jumped in with both feet! This was a fabulous opportunity to be a partner with DBH and the grant to train a cadre of instructors who would bring the lessons to our schools. This model was ideal as it didn’t require teachers to be the instructors, but rather the classroom teachers can participate and learn the skills along with their students from the trained DBH instructors. Win-win!” Chronister said they sent out an invitation to principals of all 62 elementary schools with detailed information and asked them if they wanted to participate. “Fifty-two elementary schools enrolled in the opportunity.” Trainers come into the classroom for 30 minutes once a week for 12 weeks, said Reist. “We give them small daily one to three minute practices they’re encouraged to do from the online recording we’ve made available.” The word breathe stands for different topics, she said. “Each class starts and ends with a mindfulness practice to cultivate awareness of thought and their body’s emotions. We do a variety of fun, experiential experiences that explore each theme that’s

Small businesses drive Utah’s economy By Robert Spendlove | Zions Bank Senior Economist
WE ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS
Full Service Heating & Air Conditioning
15% OFF November is National Entrepreneurship Month, a time to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit that powers Utah’s economy. Nowhere is entrepreneurship stronger than in Utah’s small businesses, which make up 99% of businesses in Beehive State. Of these small businesses, nearly 98% are very small, with fewer than 20 employees. Despite their size, small businesses have a big impact on the state’s economy. They employ nearly half of the state’s workforce, and an even larger share of workers in rural communities. Small businesses drove Utah's economic rebound from the pandemic, which surpassed every state but Idaho. From Feb. 2020 to July 2022, Utah had 6.2% employment growth, compared to 0.02% nationally. This job growth was generated largely by small business. During the first year of the pandemic, small businesses added 29,432 net jobs to the state’s economy. And from March 2020 and March 2021, small businesses accounted for 6,003 out of 6,589 net new business openings. Thanks to enterprising small businesses, most industries have added jobs over the last year, with only two of 11 sectors losing jobs. Utah’s 2.1% employment rate remains among the lowest in the nation. While Utah firms face the same inflationary challenges and supply chain issues as their counterparts in other states, they are uniquely benefiting from strong in-migration. Last year the state saw its highest net migration since 2005, with an influx of 35,000 new residents – roughly the popula-

The ones you can’t get out of your head that’s often unpleasant things. It helps families looking for guidance on how they can help their kids work through big emotions.” Kids are hungry to talk about their experiences, Reist said. “We never ask them to disclose information but it creates some safety. They often want to share some of their personal experiences.” “Youth nowadays are dealing with a
variety of challenges,” said Debbie Barley, Prevention Director at DBH. “Learning to Breathe is one strategy we know can help mitigate some of those concerns.” “I have been able to observe several school lessons and the students are engaged and excited to share how their mindful skills help them feel more calm and focus on their learning,” said Chronister. “Several expressed how they have used their mindful skills in various school and home situations.” “We hope parents will be involved,” Reist said. “This gives kids support for their whole life – not just the time at school.” l

Barking up the wrong tree
M
y dog Jedi started barking at cars. All the time. I don’t know why but my best guess is she a) hates cars, b) loves cars, c) wants to scare cars or d) she needs a ride to Petsmart to pick up some jerky treats and tennis balls. I stop her from dragging us both into traffic by creating a distraction, usually with yummy treats. I tell her to look at me, hoping to snag her attention away from the tempting Hondas and Toyotas with their tantalizing and rumbly engines. Sometimes she continues flinging herself toward cars but once she realizes a treat is coming, in the form of mozzarella or pepperoni, she usually stops barking and waits to be rewarded. Not really rocket surgery, but it works. Someone suggested Jedi’s barking could be a reaction to stress which is probably true because we’re all as stressed as a Yellowstone bison being approached by human-shaped idiots. Jedi also feels the urge to run outside at 3 a.m. to bark at neighbor dogs, tree shadows and (probably) aliens. Her woofing seems to be important. It’s like breaking news in the canine world. I can’t yell at her to be quiet because then we’d both be barking at three in the morning. Plus, she’d translate my yapping as, “You are doing such a good job at howling, Jedi. Please, continue louder. Some neighbors might still be asleep.” Once the noise levels drop, I check social media where barking has been elevated to an Olympic sport. Viral TikToks catch people in the act of snarling at each other. Twitter feeds show a slow regression back to our caveman roots where everyone spoke in grunts and howls.
that baloney. Restaurant guests bark at the waitstaff, which usually ends with a footprint on your waffle. Y’all bark so much, I think some of you might have rabies. Dogs bark because they’re excited, hungry, bored, scared, tired, playful and frustrated. The trick is to distract them and teach them a different way to communicate. Humans also need a different way to communicate, because barking isn’t working. It doesn’t matter if you’re barking in fear or anger or fatigue, your message gets lost in the noise. Every time. Have you ever screamed at someone and thought, “Boy, I really think I got my point across. I feel so heard”? Yeah, me neither. On the opposite end of the rainbow, my daughter had a teacher who only spoke in a whisper. The kids had to be quiet to hear what she was saying. It was kind of creepy talking to her because she’d forget she was talking to an adult and keep whispering. Maybe there’s a happy medium between barking and mumbling. I know, let’s call it “civil discourse” where our conversations actually promote understanding and connection. Revolutionary! Instead of talking to prove your point, can you kindly explain why you hate avocados, without melting into a puddle of sweat? Can you avoid the gnashing and spittle that comes with barking and just talk like a human being? It might take practice but maybe if we calm down, our families will settle, our communities will rebuild and our civil discourse will improve. Less barking, more listening. And lots of treats.. l
