Happy New Year. Welcome to Part II of my roundup of stories I didn't get to in 2014.

• It stayed pretty much under the radar. The Davis Clipper did a story at the time. A few other northern Utah publications mentioned it. An Idaho newspaper covered it as well.

But, in Salt Lake City, one of the best-kept secrets of the year was that a Farmington martial-arts instructor won an Emmy for best stunt coordination.

Skip Carlsen, owner of Dragon's Eye Freestyle Karate, won the Daytime Emmy in June for his stunt work on "The Aquabats! Super Show!"

Part animation and part live action, the program features actors dressed in blue costumes and is based on the superhero mythology of The Aquabats, a comedy rock band formed in 1994 by series co-creator and lead singer Christian Jacobs. The show follows the comic adventures of a fictionalized version of the band, a musical group of amateur superheroes.

Carlsen, who grew up in Pocatello, Idaho, coordinated and choreographed the fight scenes. He has been teaching martial arts and working as a stuntman and actor for 38 years. He also repairs motorcycles and four-wheelers. Before opening his karate studio, he had a children's gymnastics school in Idaho called "Kicks and Flips," a solid training ground for arranging stunts and fight scenes for a kids' show.

• Bruce Bluemel, of Tombstone, Ariz., was unable to attend his brother's funeral earlier this year. When he finally came to Utah, he wanted to visit the grave site in the American Fork City Cemetery.

When he and his family arrived at the caretaker's house, it was 4:15 p.m. on a Friday. He rang the doorbell and knocked. No response. Bluemel had no idea where to look for the grave.

He assumed the cemetery would have a reference map. He found none.

Bluemel returned to relatives he was visiting in Salt Lake City. When he finally reached someone in the cemetery's office, the caretaker couldn't offer anything more than an invitation to drive back from Salt Lake City, a round trip of about 50 miles.

The only help Bluemel could find was on an Internet site showing a grave site number that, it turned out, doesn't exist at the cemetery.

• When a Holladay woman suffered severe back pains the evening of July 1, her sister took her to the Holladay InstaCare on Highland Drive near Van Winkle Expressway.

They arrived about 8:30 p.m. and had to convince the nurse that the woman needed medical attention. After some argument, she was put in an examination room, where a physician came in to check.

He was under the impression she was having abdominal pains until she corrected him. He then examined her for back pain and directed the nurse to give her a shot of Toradol for the pain.

She immediately felt queasy and a bit faint, so the nurses told her to rest in the room for about 15 minutes and they would be back to check on her.

After nearly 40 minutes, no one came to the room until the cleaning crew walked in to vacuum.

The custodians told the woman and her sister that the doctor and all the nurses had turned off all the lights and gone home. Apparently, they forgot about the two in that exam room.

The cleaners had a key to let out the two women so they could go home.
