Skate into Christmas at newly opened Bountiful ice ribbon By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com BOUNTIFUL—What’s more fun to add to the holiday season than gliding along the ice in the crisp winter air under Christmas lights? The Bountiful ice ribbon opened last week in Town Square and families are already coming out to enjoy it together. “The ribbon is unique to Utah,” said Bountiful City Manager Gary Hill. “We did some independent research to find something that looked fun in the winter. We saw a natural outdoor ice trail in Canada. So we knew it was feasible and they do exist. Herriman had just finished theirs that summer.” Hill said the city was trying to do something meaningful that would invite people to come downtown. “The idea started in 2014-2015. We wanted something suitable for all ages that would bring people to the businesses and our historic downtown.” The water feature at Town Square was great but the city wanted something that could be used in the winter, he said. “The Rec Center has a rink. We wanted to create a path opposed to a rink that lets people experience something different than at the Rec. Something complementary. We didn’t want to compete with the Rec Center.” The vision continued through 20162017 and the partnership was final in 2018 and then it was off to the races with construction, he said. “It opened on Dec. 5, 2020. The first year operation exceeded what they’d hoped for, even though there were sign ups because of COVID and they limited the number of people on the ice.” Funding for the ribbon comes mostly from the city’s RAP tax, said Hill. “Bountiful City paid to have it built and the Rec takes on the revenue to pay for all the operating costs. Any capital improvements are split 50/50 for things that need replacing.” The approximately 8,000 square foot ice ribbon requires a lot of maintenance. “A week to two weeks before it opens we go out at night to lay water with a large hose,” said South Davis Recreation Executive Director Tif Miller. “We make small

layers to get it to a certain level. We’ll make it thicker as it gets colder and we can make ice.” They use a smaller resurfacer that can make the turns easier, he said. “We go over it to smooth it out multiple times a night as many times as we need to depending on the crowd.” There is some permanent lighting and a sound system, said Hill. “The lights can project things that move around like snowflakes. The Parks Department decorates the trees and shrubs with lights to make it feel festive.” The feedback from businesses has been really positive, he said. “Everything we’ve heard has been very complimentary. The Rec ice rink has to accommodate other things like hockey, ice skating lessons, figure skating, etc. This gives people something fun to do.” Ice ribbon hours are Monday – Friday from 4-9 p.m., Saturday and Sunday from 2-7 p.m. “There will be longer hours while school’s out (for winter break),” said Hill. Prices are $7 for adults and $5 for
kids. Skate rentals are available for $3. South Davis Recreation Center pass holders get a discount of $3 for adults and $2.50 for children. “We’re thrilled that the community
has responded so well to the City’s plan,” Hill said, “To provide a recreational opportunity and invite people to our historic downtown.” l
Post-election audit verifies accuracy of ballots cast By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—The election is over, but not for the Davis County Clerk’s Office. A post-election audit must be done to compare actual ballots to the electronic count. The results will then be presented to the county’s Board of Canvass on Dec. 6. The audit took place last Friday, Dec. 1 at the Davis County Administrative Building in Farmington. “This is an exciting day,” said Davis County Clerk, Brian McKenzie. “This post-audit is a recon-
ciliation that the equipment worked as it was intended to do.” The public was invited to come in and watch the audit. “It’s the public’s process,” he said. “Citizens should be able to review what we’re doing.” The Lt. Governor's Office selects a batch of ballots to be audited, McKenzie said. “We don’t select what gets audited. The audit is done by an independent source that reviews and does a reconciliation of where the ballot was received, whether it was challenged or rejected and balances that with the voter system used on election day.”
The audit team is made up of three citizens who have served as election poll workers in the past four years, said McKenzie. “They compare the original paper ballot that has been marked by the voter to the digital image captured to verify that it has been counted correctly.” Ballots are not polled until election night, he said. “We have no idea the flow of votes, they’re not counted as they come in.” Normally there are about 200 ballots in the batch

Davis Board of Education appoints new school board member By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—There will be a new face on the Davis Board of Education as Kaysville resident Michelle Barber takes her seat on the dais after being sworn in at Tuesday’s board meeting. Barber was selected from four other candidates to fill the open seat left by Derek Lamb who resigned last month. She will represent Precinct 5, which covers areas in Kaysville, Layton, Clearfield and Hill Air Force Base. “I want to bring a balanced perspective to the board and look at things in a new way,” said Barber. “I’ve been involved in education and I’m impressed by the teachers and staff. They’re dedicated to building a better community. I’m excited about that.” Barber is a former Kaysville City Council member and is currently the chair of the Kaysville City Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. She is also on the school community councils at her children’s elementary and junior high schools and sits on the school library committee to review books at her chil-

dren’s school, according to the district. “I think one thing I can bring is when topics become polarizing I can help find middle ground,” said Barber. “The Davis School District is a frontrunner in education. I think we should capitalize on the good things but also focus on things that
need to be addressed.” Barber, who works in web design, believes in a balanced use of technology in the classroom. “I’ve seen the evolution of the internet come into the classroom,” she said. “We need to use it in a productive way and balance that so we’re not replacing teaching with technology.” Teachers should be supported with the resources they need, said Barber. “They should be recognized for the incredible influence on students that they are.” Barber is a lifelong Davis County resident and Davis High School graduate. “I’ve been served really well by the Davis School system and my kids are being served well. I have four kids, two in junior high and two in elementary. I thought it was the right time to focus my attention where they are.” Her mother started teaching in the district when Barber was starting high school. “She’s still teaching today,” said Barber. “It’s been fun to have her perspective as a teacher. Supporting teachers is a great way to invest in students as well.” Another goal Barber said she has is
to bring more interest in recreation and sports. “I want to facilitate more opportunities for students. I’ve seen good things when cities partner with the district. I think there is a lot we can do to further that relationship.” When she opened up the email from the district announcing the opening Barber said her first thought was that she hoped they would find a person with a balanced viewpoint to represent that area. “Then my second thought was ‘maybe that could be me.’ It would give me a chance to be involved at this level.” Barber said when her kids’ friends at school heard about her appointment, they brought a laundry list home of things they wanted her to work on. “I told them I would not be voting for no homework.” There is so much to learn, she said. “I look forward to that and to getting to know the administrative staff better. I’m really motivated to get to know the people in the communities I’ll represent, the schools, families and students. I want to make sure they’re well represented on the board. That’s the thing I’ll focus on. l

Keys and car stolen at local gym Bountiful Police Det. Williams is asking for the public’s help to identify this individual who is suspected of walking into a local gym, stealing a set of keys and then driving away in a vehicle that didn’t belong to him. Please call Det. Williams at 801-298-6156 with any information and Reference Case B23-06055. “Please remember, the safety of your personal items is not guaranteed by gyms,” said a BPD Facebook post. “Travel light when going to the gym or keep your belongings on your person or in your sight.”
Students lift car off of mother and her children who were pinned underneath Students at Layton Christian Academy are being called heroes after they raced into the school’s parking lot on Tuesday and lifted a vehicle off of a mother and her two children who were hit by the car and trapped under it. The accident happened just before 4 p.m. when Bridgette Ponson, a staff member at the school, and her two children were struck by a vehicle. The woman driving the vehicle told police that she was temporarily blinded by the sun when the accident happened. Investigators determined the incident was accidental and caused by the glare. Ponson and her children are expected to make a full recovery, but Ponson sustained significant injuries requiring surgeries and a period of recovery, school officials said. “We would like to acknowledge

the quick and compassionate response from the students of Layton Christian Academy, who displayed incredible courage and presence of mind by lifting the vehicle,” a Layton Christian Academy statement said. “Our gratitude also extends to one of our parents, Dominique Childress, who played a crucial role in the rescue. The rapid and professional response from the Layton City Police and Fire Departments was exemplary, and we extend our heartfelt thanks for their service.” A GoFundMe page has been set up for Ponson and her children.
Auto thefts on the rise The Clearfield Police Department has seen a rise in auto thefts so they’re reminding residents to lock their cars and not to leave anything valuable inside. “Most thieves take things from unlocked cars, they rarely decide to break in,” a CPD Facebook post said. “We’ve had nine so far this month, with more than half of those happening in the last two weeks, and many of them go unreported.”
DCSO final internet safety class set for Dec. 20 The Davis County Sheriff’s Office will be holding its final internet safety course for this year, Dec. 20. The class is open to 12-year-olds and up. “With the holiday break approaching and many kids spending additional time on social media and the internet, this is an important class that all caregivers and kids 12 years old and up should take,” a DCSO Facebook post said. Parents should be aware that detectives will be discussing cases and real-life scenarios that could be difficult for some children. The class will be held at the Davis County Sheriff’s Office auditorium on Wednesday, Dec. 20, at 6 p.m. at 80 West State Street, Farmington. Please park in the Justice Complex parking lots. A deputy will meet attendees outside the Sheriff’s Office just before 6 p.m.

Cutting down your own Christmas Tree – the ins and outs, and how-to’s By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS COUNTY—There’s no small amount of nostalgia this time of year, is there? Songs and poems conjure up imagery of a bygone era filled with antiquated things like sugarplums, sleigh rides, and roasted chestnuts. Some of these traditions have fallen by the wayside, but some are still easily within reach, including cutting down a Christmas tree by hand. It’s no secret that live Christmas trees are getting more and more expensive. For even a smaller tree, it’s not uncommon to see prices that just a few years ago would have sent many residents’ heads spinning. For those purists who still don’t want to knuckle under and get a synthetic tree, there are a few options left, including privately owned lots, and, for the rugged and old-fashioned, cutting down a tree themselves. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages many areas around the state where, for just $10, residents can go, and cut down their own trees for the season. A permit must be obtained, and ar-
eas in which to cut, and other rules about cutting have to be strictly observed but it offers a viable, and nostalgic alternative to the sticker shock many buying trees are sure to experience this year. For Davis County, permits have already opened up, and residents will need to look at the Salt Lake BLM Field Office for detailed information. Residents can visit the BLM website for the Salt Lake Field Office, and purchase a Christmas tree permit there, as well as find detailed stipulations, and a map for approved cutting locations. BLM in Utah also offers specific safety tips for those going out to cut their own trees: • Stay on designated roads and respect private land. Some tree-cutting areas may be inaccessible after snowfall – early season cutting is advisable. • Be prepared! Tree-cutters traveling through Utah’s public lands should be prepared for poor road conditions or inclement weather. Make sure you have everything you need for an outdoor venture including warm clothes, food, water, and safety equipment.
• Let someone know where you’ll be going and when you plan to return. If you get stranded, call for help, and stay with your group and vehicle until help arrives. • Please dispose of trees properly. Consider composting or using the tree as firewood, if those are options available to you. • Keep in mind that hunting seasons are usually open during these times, so wearing bright colors is advisable. In addition to the fiscal, and nostalgic bonuses to cutting down a tree like this, there’s also a surprising environmental upside as well. Some BLM offices offer seed packets for in-person purchases to encourage regrowth in areas that have the potential to see heavy tree-cutting traffic. The BLM also encourages those cutting down their own trees to cut and scatter extra branches in the area to promote the exact same thing. So, whether the drive is motivated by saving some money, creating some memories, or exploring this beautiful state, cutting down your own Christmas tree is a great way to shake things up this holiday season. l
FINDING THE PERFECT tree can be even trickier than cutting down your own!

The day after the Date of Infamy – Pearl Harbor remembered
By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com DAVIS/MORGAN COUNTY—Monday, Dec. 8, 1941, may not hold as much significance in the history books as Dec. 7, but for many of the Greatest Generation, that day was just as life-changing. While many heard quick broadcasts that Pearl Harbor had been attacked on Dec. 7, President Roosevelt’s famous speech would be given 79 years ago this very day, catapulting the United States into the most deadly conflict in modern history. Many enlisted or were drafted soon thereafter, but there were many notable exceptions, including here in Davis and Morgan Counties, who enlisted before the outbreak of war, and who would have had no idea that an attack was coming. For many, Hawaii was seen as the safest possible assignment: war was boiling already in the Atlantic, and the lend-lease program had already sent plenty of equipment that way. Nothing was supposed to happen in the Pacific. The surprise attack on Dec. 7 cost 2,403 lives, both military and civilian, and caught the United States completely unawares. Of the many Utahns at Pearl Harbor that day, a handful were from Davis County, and most survived the horrific attack, and served with distinction in World War II thereafter. Pharmacist Mate 3c, Heber A. Holbrook of Syracuse was aboard the USS San Francisco at the time, a small cruiser. Most of the armament was in unusable condition, which was why the San Francisco was at Pearl Harbor at the time of the attack. Holbrook’s ship fared better than most, and came out of the attack still in shape for service, with many of her crew firing back at her attackers with whatever arms they could. Holbrook survived and went on to write a book about his experiences aboard the San Francisco. Merril G. Hatch, a Lieutenant in the 64 Field Artillery at the time, was stationed at Schofield. Hatch, a native of Morgan, and Bountiful had been married only a few months when he and his wife were woken by the sounds of battle. Schofield Barracks, though not a naval or air target, was across the way from Wheeler Field.

vived, was promoted, and lived out the rest of his life with family and friends. Jared Fearnley Brown, of Bountiful was a Chief Warrant Officer 3, on the USS Balch. Brown’s ship was scheduled to refit and refuel at Pearl on Dec. 7, but, due to weather conditions was delayed one day, but received word of the attack just north of Oahu. The following day, Dec. 8, the USS Balch was on patrol of the entire area, her crew now fully engaged in the war effort. Brown survived the war and made it home. Nuel Howard Bambrough of Syracuse was stationed at the Naval Air Station at Pearl Harbor. Bambrough was a Seaman 2c at the time of the attack, but wouldn’t stay that rank for long. Though the details are unknown, Bambrough was part of rescue efforts made on Dec. 7 and the days following and distinguished himself to the degree that he earned both a citation and a promotion. He later became an engineer on a captain’s gig. Bambrough survived and came home. Herbert and Albert Dickson were twins from Morgan Utah, and like many during that time, had ties to both Davis and Morgan counties. Both twins were aboard the USS California, which was docked at Pearl and took a severe beating from torpedoes, bombs, and machine gun fire. The California was another ship that was able to ready her arms

and return fire before she sank in the shallow waters of the harbor. She was salvaged and refitted and saw service later in the war. Both twins survived and made their way home. The last name is one that deserves special recognition. Charles William White, born in Salt Lake, and raised in Bountiful was a talented musician. So talented that, after graduating from Davis High, he joined the Concert Band and Symphony Orchestra at BYU. He enlisted in the US Navy and was assigned to the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor. Musician 2c Charles William White is one of the 1,177 who died on the Arizona, leaving behind a wife, Mary Myrlene Richins White, and a one-year-old daughter. Remember Pearl Harbor. l
Davis County Sheriff’s Office gets first corrections K9 By Becky Ginos becky.g@davisjournal.com FARMINGTON—There’s a new correctional officer at the Davis County Jail and he has a wet nose and whiskers. Copper is the first corrections K9 at the facility and his job is to sniff out drugs and other contraband inmates might be hiding. The Belgian Malinois German Shepherd mix is 10 months old and the department got him Nov. 21. “A Centerville resident and business owner of Elite K9 Gear made a donation,” said Davis County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Lexi Johnson. “They’ve donated a few dogs for the county.” Copper will find contraband items that shouldn’t be in the facility, she said. “General drugs and especially prescription drugs. He specializes in finding things that are illegal when deputies are conducting shakedowns. If they think there’s contraband in one section it makes it easier so the deputies don’t have to check every section.” Copper goes around the facility with his handler Deputy Sam Kirk, said Johnson. “He’ll go with the dog and search areas for drugs while he’s also doing some training. Once Copper has had some obedience training he’ll go to Utah POST to be detection certified. Salt Lake County used to have a corrections canine but for our area it is new.” Deputy Kirk went through a testing process to become a handler, she said. “He passed the test. He’s always been interested in it. He used to work with K9s at the prison but he hasn’t been a handler here. We’re lucky we got him to come here.” Johnson said Copper was just what they’d been

looking for. “We needed a dog with a good temperament so that we didn’t have to worry about him biting the staff or inmates. He’s very stable and friendly but driven for his job.” The K9 will have no interaction with the inmates, she said. “He’s strictly a working dog. We don’t want drugs or contraband but he also helps reduce the rate of recidivism. If inmates can stay clean it sets them up for success in the community.” It holds them accountable, said Johnson. “If they know there’s a dog that can find drugs they’re less likely to keep them. If they don’t have drugs they can learn life skills and all the other things we hope for in rehabilitation.” The department has been using the agency’s patrol dogs, she said. “But they’re out doing their calls for service. A full-time dog gives us support to do searches. We’re hoping to get a second dog in the future. An electronics sniffing dog that can find cell phones and other electronics the inmates shouldn’t have. We plan to expand after this initial dog.” Johnson said the patrol dogs have been part of the K9 program that has been budgeted in the plan for 10 years. “We also got one from Animal Care of Davis County. One of the deputies discovered him during a service project and thought we could train an adoptable pet. He is a narcotics detection K9 officer and he’s already been successful.” “We’re extremely grateful for the family’s donation,” said Stephanie Dinsmore, DCSO Media & Community Engagement Manager. “It’s made a massive difference in our corrections facility.” l

Davis girls basketball off to a strong start
By Catherine Garrett c.garrett@mycityjournals.com
Davis
Third-ranked Davis defeated Mountain Crest 57-36 Nov. 28 behind 19 points from Kendra Kitchen and 14 from T’maea Eteuati. The Darts broke open the game early and held a 23-point edge at halftime before coasting to its second win in as many games this year. Kendra Kitchen’s 19 points were tops for Davis with T’maea Eteuati adding 14, Kate Richards 6, Shea Miller 6, Olivia Lifferth 5, Kate Willard 2, Avery Dain 2, Maya Chino 2 and Chloe Peery 1. Against Riverton Nov. 30, the Darts again dominated with a 64-37 win. Davis came out strong with 23 points in the first eight minutes – to the Silverwolves’ 12 points – and continued double-digit scoring in the final three quarters to cruise to the win. Kitchen led the way with 23 points while Eteuati added 16 points, including four 3-pointers. Also scoring for the Darts were Miller (8 points), Richards (6), Chino (4), Willard (2), Sydney Plummer (2), Peery (2) and Maki West (1). Davis remains undefeated through its first three games this season, securing wins by an average of 22 points in each matchup.
Bountiful
The top-ranked team in 5A – Bountiful – got its first win of the season Nov. 28 with a 57-22 victory over Morgan. The Redhawks got out to a strong start, going up 16-4 and then 26-13 at half. They then added 31 more points in the blowout while holding the Trojans to single-digit scoring in each quarter. Bountiful was led by Taylor Harvey with 17 points and Milika Satuala, who was also in double figures with 10 points. Also scoring in the win were Maleah Nelson (nine points), Abby Orme (five), Anna Larson (five), Charlotte Johnson (four), Mae Johnson (four) and
Adelaide Stevenson (three). Against Spanish Fork Dec. 1, the Redhawks won 54-26 behind 16 points each from Satuala and Harvey. Nelson – who hit three 3-pointers for nine points, along with Stevenson (seven points), Johnson (four) and Larson (two) also produced offensively in the big win. The Redhawks improved to 2-2 in the preseason.
Woods Cross
Woods Cross defeated Farmington 35-33 Nov. 30 behind 12 points from Katie King. The Wildcats got out to a five-point lead after the first quarter and remained in control of much of the game, withstanding a Phoenix comeback to pull out a two-point win. “It was good to get the win,” said head coach David Simon. “We have some things to work on. We played a really good defensive game for three quarters, but then had some break downs in the fourth quarter.” Also scoring for Woods Cross were Grace MacArthur (9 points), Kiyomi Tauataina (8), Mari Nichols (3) and Adia Cook (3). “This is a great group of girls and we will continue to get better,” Simon said. The Wildcats are now 2-0 early on in the year.
Farmington
Farmington lost a close one to Bonneville 50-48 Nov. 28. The Phoenix squad broke a 10-10 tie after the first quarter with a 17-point effort to go in at the break up six points. But they gave up 29 second-half points to the Lakers in the close loss. Brynn Ryan and Hailey Larsen combined for 26 points while Breklyn Archibald led the team in rebounding with nine and steals with four. In the two-point loss against Woods Cross Nov. 30, a 15-point fourth quarter comeback came up just short. “We had a chance to tie or win the game, but our shot was just short,” said head coach Tara Ferrin. “It was a fun game. The girls were able to come back in the fourth quarter when we put a full

court press on.” Ryan’s 17 points accounted for more than half of Farmington’s offense. “The girls are working hard and gaining experience with every game,” Ferrin said. The Phoenix squad’s record so far this season is 0-2.
Viewmont
In its second game of the young season Nov. 28, Viewmont lost to West 58-55. The Vikings were up nine points at halftime and six heading into the final quarter but couldn’t hold off the Panthers’ comeback.

T
he Viewmont boys basketball team got an early start to the season and then took two weeks off. The layover didn’t seem to hurt the Vikings at all. In fact, Viewmont won its first game of the season, improving to 1-2 when it returned to the court on Dec. 1 against Summit Academy. Playing at home, the Vikings used big second and third quarters to secure a big 79-68 victory. Viewmont was all knotted up with Summit Academy 16-16 after one quarter. Determined to not let its losing streak reach three games, Viewmont outscored the visitors 23-17 in the second quarter to take a 39-33 lead into the locker room. The advantage swelled to 64-53 heading into the fourth quarter after a 25-20 run in the third. The two teams played an even 15-15 in the final six minutes, as the Vikings won by 11. It was firstyear head coach Travis Frey’s first win at Viewmont and the Vikings’ first win since defeating Box Elder on Feb. 17, the final regular season game of the previous season. The Vikings won despite struggling from the field, as they hit just 39 of 88 shots. However, they limited Summit Academy to just 42.3% from the floor and made eight three-pointers to six for the Bears. Nine players scored for View-
“Credit to West for their defensive pressure and turning us over 25 times on the night,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We were up by nine points with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter and then West kept chipping away and eventually beat us.” Mara Mickelson led Viewmont with 18 points with Aubrey Mulitalo and Mary Carr both adding double-digit scoring with 14 and 10 points, respectively. “We played hard the entire game,” said head coach Cameron Gardner. “We need to clean up a lot of things still. The Vikings are 0-2 so far this year. l

ith one blowout and won close win, the Farmington boys basketball team improved its record to 3-0 on the season. The Phoenix have a busy week ahead, with three games on the schedule – and a chance to move to 6-0. Farmington took care of Bonneville 60-43 on Nov. 30 on the road, defeating the Lakers with stifling defense and efficient offense. The Phoenix started off modestly, building a 26-19 halftime lead. They extended the advantage in the third quarter with a 16-11 run and then finished off the home team with an 18-13 fourth quarter. Farmington made three more free throws and seven more field goals than Bonneville. Both teams connected on seven shots from three-point range. Individually for Farmington, Paul Beattie led all scorers with 27 points. The senior forward also added 12 rebounds and three blocked shots. Senior guard Jayden Haskell contributed 19 points on the night, including three three-pointers.

Davis boys basketball falls in a pair of vastly different games By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com
T
he type and tempo couldn’t have been any different in the two games the Davis boys basketball team played last week. But the results were the same. The Darts came up short in a pair of contests last week, falling to 2-2 on the season. Both games were close, but while one was a high-scoring offensive showcase, the other was a defensive battle. On Nov. 28, Davis played at perennial state power Pleasant Grove in a tough matchup. Up for the challenge, the Darts jumped out to a 21-13 lead at the end of the first quarter. That advantage was still 40-34 at the break. In the third quarter, Davis unleashed a potent offensive attack that yielded an impressive 28 points. Still, Pleasant Grove scored 25 in the quarter and was hanging around in a 68-59 game. Things went sideways for Davis in the fourth quarter. Pleasant Grove doubled up the Darts 24-12 in the final six minutes to pull out a come-from-behind 83-80 win, handing Davis its first loss of the season. The Darts shot a blistering 67% from the field, missing just 15 of 46 shots all game. Davis was also 15 of 19 from the foul line. A big dif-
ference was the 11 three-pointers Pleasant Grove made to Davis’ four. Leading the way for the Darts were Zach Fisher and Coleman Atwater, who each had 22 points. Fisher also had five rebounds, while Atwater had six, along with four assists and a pair of steals. Caleb Taylor added 17 points and five rebounds. Bode Sparrow chipped in 10 points, while Ike Morgan had six points and a team-high 10 assists. On Dec. 1, it was the defense’s turn to shine. Playing at home against Highland, Davis limited Highland to 32% shooting and only three made free throws. However, the Darts made just two free throws and, a few days after making two-thirds of its shots, converted on just 17 of 67 field goals, 25%. No Davis players reached double figures in points in this contest. Sparrow paced the team with seven points. Taylor had six points and five rebounds, while Atwater had five points and five rebounds. Tradon Bessinger had five points and four rebounds in the loss. This week, Davis hosts Box Elder and Viewmont on Dec. 7 and 8, respectively. A third consecutive home game follows on Saturday when the Darts entertain state power Olympus. l
Close loss keeps Woods Cross boys basketball seeking first victory of season By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com
T
he Woods Cross boys basketball team is still looking for that elusive first win of the season. Once again, the Wildcats came up just short, losing in a close battle for the second time in as many games. Ten days after losing by four points, the Wildcats fell at Logan 55-53 on Dec. 1. The Wildcats rallied after falling behind early and nearly pulled out the victory. Woods Cross played catch-up the entire game after falling behind 21-11 in the first quarter. The Wildcats then outscored the Grizzlies in each of the next three quarters, but their comeback wasn’t quite enough. Going into the fourth quarter, it was 45-42 Logan. Woods Cross had a narrow 11-10 advantage in the final quarter. The Wildcats hit six more shots from the floor than Logan – 21-15 – but made just three free throws to Logan’s 14.
Bryson Watson was the leading scorer for Woods Cross, tallying 21 points on the evening. He led all players in the game with four three-pointers. Hunter Jackson had a nice all-around effort. The junior had 11 points, eight assists and three steals. Leading the team in rebounding was Ben Smith-Mecham with seven. Hayden Poulton had nine points and three rebounds to go along with two assists, a steal and a block in a state-filling performance. Finding win No. 1 won’t get any easier for Woods Cross. The Wildcats have three games this week, each against teams from Class 6A’s Region 1. The stretch begins Thursday with a contest at Syracuse, followed by a home matchup with Weber on Friday. In a rare Saturday game, the Wildcats play at Fremont. Woods Cross then hosts a strong American Fork team on Dec. 12. The last time Woods Cross tasted victory was in the regular-season finale of the 2022–23 season, a Feb. 17 win over Bonnevile. l

sists. Things were a lot tougher the next night at Maple Mountain. Farmington fell behind early against the Golden Eagles, finding itself on the wrong end of a 28-15 deficit. After the first quarter, the Phoenix clamped down on the defensive end significantly, allowing just 35 points the rest of the game in a 66-63 victory. Farmington was still down 43-34 at halftime but went on a 16-9 run in the third quarter to cut the Maple Mountain lead to 5250. The Phoenix closed out the game by outscoring the Golden Eagles 16-11 over the final six minutes to rally for the win.
Farmington won despite allowing 12 three-pointers and making five fewer shots from the floor than Maple Mountain. Four players scored in double figures for Farmington, led once again by Beattie, who had 16. Carter Nordquist had 15 points, including three shots from behind the three-point arc. Haskell added 11 points, while Braden Larsen had 11. The Phoenix play at Crimson Cliffs on Thursday in the Allstate Falcon Classic. They’ll also have games in the tournament on Friday and Saturday against to-be-determined opponents. Farmington then returns to action Dec. 12 against Bingham in what will be just its second home game of the season. l
Hill History – The 80s, the Cold War, and Maj. Gen. Robert P. McCoy By Braden Nelsen braden.n@davisjournal.com HILL AIR FORCE BASE—Despite an ebb and flow over the decades, the Cold War found heightened tensions in the 1980s, and Hill Air Force Base was not immune to its effects. Much of the activity on the base during this time highlighted the tenuous nature of global relations at the time and showed just how amazing the staff and personnel of the base were and are. As many who lived through it remember, the Cold War in the 1980s was marked by a period of posturing between nations. The threats posed by the USSR were ever looming over the United States and its allies, and it seemed like the seething cauldron of war was always about to boil over. To that end, the United States Armed Forces needed to ensure that, should conflict kick-off, they would be ready for whatever threat might face them. This was no mean feat. It’s one thing to maintain personnel and equipment in a time of open conflict, but quite another to do so when that conflict isn’t present, but could present itself at any time. Hill Air Force Base and the Ogden Air Logistics Center found themselves doing much of what they had for the past 50 years, but with much heightened stakes. In addition to regular maintenance on aircraft like the OV-10 Bronco, and C-130 Hercules, the workforce at Hill found themselves dealing with the difficult problem of

retrofitting, and upkeep of the missile defense systems they’d been working on for years. In particular, this involved the phasing out of the Titan II missiles, and the start of the Peacekeeper system, which made things much safer for those handling the missiles, but still provided that necessary Cold Warera insurance. The Hilltop Times explained the dangerous properties of the Titan II, and why it was so necessary
to update: “The Titan II used aerozine 50 (fuel) and nitrogen tetroxide (oxidizer), which were stored in the missile itself. They were hypergolic propellants, (spontaneous ignition on contact), therefore, highly explosive and extremely toxic and corrosive. Obviously, safety was a major concern in keeping the missiles operational. The Ogden ALC’s Missiles Systems Management Division played a key role in
managing the deactivation of the Titan II system and activation of the Peacekeeper system during the 1980s.” Maintaining weapons systems as volatile as those mentioned above would be challenging enough, but employees at Hill were busy maintaining and keeping up the famous C-130 aircraft and doing so in an outstanding fashion. One of the most instrumental figures in ensuring the success of this program was Major General Robert P. McCoy, commander of Ogden Air Logistics Center in 1987, and a great proponent of the community of employees at Hill. Maj. Gen. McCoy said, “There is no one better equipped to start work on this weapon system than the Hill workforce. The C-130 is a good, solid workload and will be for many years to come. It is an important weapon system to the Air Force and will be with us for many years… There is no doubt in my mind that we will prove we can do this job better than anyone else.” Over the decades that followed, Maj. Gen. McCoy, his personnel, and the staff at Hill proved this in spades, completing, over the years, an average of one aircraft every nine days in a year. This service has proved integral to the mission of the United States Air Force, as the C-130 has seen decades of service, providing transport, medevac, supply drops, and more across the globe. l

Prep boys basketball: big week of wins brings Bountiful’s record to 4-0 By Josh McFadden joshm@mycityjournals.com
I
n what was a busy week of basketball, the Bountiful boys team made the most of its opportunities, winning three times to remain unblemished on the season. With a trio of victories, the Redhawks enter this week with a 4-0 record. Last week’s wins were each by at least seven points, with two of them coming by no fewer than 18 points. Bountiful first dispatched East 7958 on Nov. 28. The fellow Class 5A foe jumped out to a 26-18 lead over the Redhawks, but that was short-lived. Bountiful turned the tables in a big way, going

selected by the Lt. Governor’s Office, McKenzie said. “If we find a discrepancy in the audit, we investigate it and provide a report to the Lt. Governor and the Board of Canvass.” Election security is a top priority for all of us, he said. “We want to be transparent and open. Come in and observe the process. We love having citizens come in.” McKenzie said another thing voters should know is they have until Tuesday, Jan. 9 at 5 p.m. to make sure their registration and party affiliation is up to date. Party affiliates cannot be changed after the deadline and will be in effect through the primary election. “Looking at the elections next year, specifically the voting opportunities in March and the voting opportunities in June,
on runs of 15-8 and 23-11 in the next two quarters. Entering the fourth quarter, Bountiful held a 56-45 advantage in what was once a game it trailed by eight. The Redhawks didn’t let up in the fourth quarter. Bountiful outscored East 23-13 over the final six minutes to win handily. The Redhawks made 12 more shots from the floor and three more free throws than East in the victory. Carson Smith and Charlie Smith led Bountiful with 19 points and 13 points, respectively. Arturo Garcia added 12 points for the Redhawks. The outcomes in the next game, the following night at home against Cedar Valley, was similar, though the script
was different. Bountiful prevailed 7456 but didn’t fall behind early. This time around, Bountiful got up 25-18 in the first quarter and 45-27 at halftime. In the second half, the Redhawks maintained the margin, though Cedar Valley made it a little interesting in the third quarter by trimming the lead to 57-45. The fourth quarter belonged to Bountiful, as it outscored the Aviators 17-11 in what was the visitor’s first game of the season. Garcia had 18 points, all on three-pointers, as he made six from long range. Bryson Heath had 17 points, while Carson Smith and Charlie Smith had 15 points and 14 points, respectively. The busy week culminated in another win, this time a 67-60 triumph over
Skyridge on the road on Dec. 1. The back-and-forth affair saw Bountiful fall behind 16-10 in the first quarter but rebound for a 30-25 halftime lead thanks to a 20-9 second quarter. The Redhawks didn’t let the Falcons make any big runs in the second half, as they maintained a lead throughout. Heath led the team with 21 points, and Charlie Smith added 18 points, including four three-pointers. Faletau Satuala, a star from the Redhawks’ state runner-up football team, had 16 points in the victory. Bountiful hosted Skyline on Tuesday, after our press deadline. The Redhawks play at Timpview on Dec. 12. l

OBITUARY
BOOKINGS
William Carol Cahoon May 30, 1937 - Nov. 26, 2023
On the morning of Sunday, Nov. 26, 2023, William Carol Cahoon passed peacefully and quietly through the veil into his season of rest to be reunited with his beloved father, mother, brothers, and countless family members and friends who had gone before him. His life was one of good humor, devotion, and service to his family, God and fellowman. He will be deeply missed as a loving husband, father, neighbor, grandfather, and pillar of his hometown community. Bill was well known for his friendly smile, infectious spunk, and lively hard work ethic. Growing up in South Bountiful, UT, he enjoyed all activities, especially scouting, where he learned the skills that would bless his entire life. He ran track and played football at Davis High School and boy, was he fast! He continued his love of sports by playing softball until he was 81 years old. Bill instilled this love in his children and loved watching them play. As an avid hobby farmer, Bill cultivated his acreage on 1500 South with delicious vegetables, and tender beef and lamb. He loved animals and cared for cats, dogs, rabbits, chickens, pigs, cows, and horses. Bill loved the land and could frequently be found helping his neighbors on their land with whatever needed to be done. He could fix anything and loved the opportunity to do so. Bill married his high school sweetheart, Joyce Benton, in 1956 and they became the parents of a son, Noel Benton Cahoon. After divorcing in 1959, Bill began working at the Bountiful City Power Plant where he fine-tuned his mechanical engineering mind. In 1961, he met Jeannine Wright at a dance and they began dating. On Sept. 30, 1965, Bill and Jeannine were married in the Salt Lake Temple. They are the parents of six children. Making their home in Woods Cross, Utah, Bill accepted a position at Hill Air Force Base, where he worked for the next 27 years. As a family, Bill, Jeannine, and all of the children enjoyed sports, music, camping, hunting, traveling, and pick up games of all kinds. They worked and farmed together, enjoying the fruits of their labors each fall. Bill served faithfully in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in many callings giving him opportunities to grow spiritually. He and his wife performed service missions together and enjoyed singing sacred music in various ward and stake choirs. Bill’s big, warm, and beautifully deep bass voice was enjoyed by many congregations. Bill was a devoted son, brother, father, grandfather, and neighbor. Bill “Lengthened

Navigating Grief and the Holidays
WATER STORAGE TANK
By Kathie Supiano, PhD, LCSW The holiday season is nearly upon us. This is the time of year when grieving people often feel dread and sorrow about the very events and traditions that formerly brought happiness. As every grieving person handles loss in their own way, each one of us observes holidays in our own way in time of bereavement. There simply is no one right way to experience the holidays. Some find meaning in following cherished traditions, and others benefit from avoiding traditions because their associations are now tinged with loss. Some people find great comfort in being with other people, others prefer solitude to camaraderie. For all of us, how we gather is as important as gathering at all. Plan ahead for the holidays: The first step in planning is to listen to yourself….what will help you most at this time? You may have strong memories and powerful feelings. Accept this as normal, but prepare for it. Anticipate the pleasures and the stresses of events, and select those you want to participate in. If you expect to be lonely, arrange supportive companionship. If you can’t bear the thought of connecting with the entire extended family, let the family know of your needs. Be creative and accept support by using distance technology. Accommodate your plans to your new limits: Most grieving people have significantly lowered physical stamina and emotional reserve. Perhaps you can’t get every decoration out this year. Accept these limits as temporary, and good enough for this year. Choose to put your energy into the things that matter most to you. Accept that the holidays will be different this year: The holidays are often filled with unrealistic expectations that may overwhelm you. You may need to revisit your goals and find a balance between continuity and change. Many people find a special comfort in establishing a new holiday tradition that honors the memory of the person who died. Recognize that other family members or friends may have struggles, too: Look for opportunities to discuss your feelings and wishes with others who may also be grieving for your family member. Try to respect their choices, if they are different from yours. You all may need to make compromises. If the holidays have always been hard for you: Use this transition in your life to try something completely new…an untraditional-tradition. Perhaps you have never taken the occasion create a new experience on your own. As challenging as loss can be, it can bring momentum to grow and to try something new. For all of us, whether the holidays are a time of personal significance or not, it can be a season in which we reflect on what we do cherish as we journey through grief. Kathie Supiano, PhD, LCSW is an Associate Professor at the University of Utah College of Nursing and the Director of Caring Connections: A Hope and Comfort in Grief Program. Caring Connections is a not-for-profit program that offers clinician-facilitated grief support groups in Utah.
