Local teen skier to be featured in Warren Miller film, Daymaker

Brooks Roe, Snowbasin Resort

By Rachel Cordeiro

T

yler Blocker, son of Robert and Raelene Blocker, will be featured in the newest Warren Miller ski film, Daymaker, which premieres on Oct. 26, in Orem, Utah with showings worldwide. There will be six showings in Utah in the cities of Salt Lake, Orem, Ogden and Park City.

Following in the footsteps of his two older brothers, Tyler began skiing at the young age of two under the instruction and guidance of his dad who introduced Tyler to more difficult slopes as early as possible.

Tyler caught on quickly and by age 14 was competing in freeride skiing, a competition that rates the best, most skillful competitors based on their technique.

Beginning his sophomore year, Tyler made the decision to transition to online school which allowed him the flexibility to spend more time on the slopes during ski season. His routine during ski season consists of skiing from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. before coming home to complete his school assignments remotely then heading to bed for a good night’s rest in preparation for repeating the cycle again the next day.

At age 15, Tyler had plans for other upcoming competitions but a crash sidelined him temporarily. Despite a ruptured spleen and the loss of function in one of his kidneys, Tyler made a miraculous recovery and was back on his skis only two weeks following the major life-saving, emergency surgery after coding on the mountain. He started off slow at first easing his way back into it on the bunny hill but after only

NEWS BREAK New Alzheimer’s Drug Slows Mental Decline by 27%

In Trial Hailed as ‘Most Encouraging to Date’ American biotech company Biogen announced the results of a phase 3 clinical trial that showed a new Alzheimer’s drug slowed the rate of cognitive decline for early onset patients by 27%. The Alzheimer’s Association (AA) called the robust study of lecanemab, which is a monoclonal antibody designed to clear clumps of amyloid protein from the brain, “the most encouraging results in clinical trials treating the underlying causes of Alzheimer’s to date.”

The CEO at Eisai—the Japanese pharmaceutical company partnering with Biogen—claims the results of the lecanemab study, named Clarity AD, “proves the amyloid hypothesis, in which the abnormal accumulation of Aβ in the brain is one of the main causes of Alzheimer’s disease.”

Eisai believes these findings will create new horizons in the diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease as well as further activate innovation for new treatment options.

British study says coffee drinkers live longer lives

TYLER BLOCKER at Targhee Nationals

Based on an analysis of just under half a million records in the UK Biobank, people who drink two to three cups of coffee each day tend to live longer and exhibit less cardiovascular disease compared with those who abstain from the beverage.

While the research doesn’t claim drinking more coffee adds years to your life, it’s nevertheless an intriguing association that scientists are keen to investigate further. It’s also important to weigh the findings against previous studies linking brain shrinkage and an increased risk of dementia with a daily habit of six or more cups of coffee. Electrophysiologist Peter Kistle, from the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute in Australia, said “The results suggest that mild to moderate intake of ground, instant and decaffeinated coffee should be considered part of a healthy lifestyle.”

County wants to preserve trails remnants but property owners say they’ve had enough changes Linda Petersen lpetersen@mycityjournals.com MORGAN — As they plan for the future and for the inevitable new growth that will come to Morgan County, county officials also want to preserve the past.

County Commissioner Blaine Fackrell is particularly concerned that as development moves forward, it does not do so at the cost of Morgan’s history. One of his goals is to help facilitate preserving historical sites which would serve as a draw for tourism in the county, he said at an Aug. 16 commission work meeting.

Still, the owners of one property say Fackrell’s interest is almost too late in a battle they have fought over the last 16 years to develop their property.

On Aug. 2 the commission postponed a vote on the approval of a four-lot

subdivision, the first phase of a larger planned development know as Golden Hills Estate, located on 661 acres north of East Canyon State Park. Fackrell said he wanted to look into how the development would affect the Mormon Trail before voting.

“What I’m looking at is potentially working with Golden Hills if they are willing to do something along the historical line for the old California trail, the Mormon trail, the Pony Express and the Donner Reid party that came right through our county, and it comes partially on Golden Hills property,” he said at the Aug. 16 meeting.

Fackrell asked County Historian Rachel Turk to address the issue at that meeting.

“I’m hoping to get a preservation easement 300 feet on both sides of what would be determined to be the best por-

tion of trail route and preserve it through the development,” she said. “If that’s not possible, [it is] how can we make sure that we preserve the most pristine pieces.”

Turk brought Utah Historic Preservation Officer Christopher Merritt to the meeting.

“Very often development moves forward on private land without a real consideration of the historic integrity so I’m happy for this conversation,” Merritt said.

The issue is complex because “trails are braided by their very nature … we have a bunch of trails in one corridor which is this valley,” he said. Inadequate mapping of the trail routes in the area also complicate issues, he added. Merritt then volunteered to have his department pay for an architectural study to determine

Angela Lansbury passes away at 96

American music, film, and TV star Angela Lansbury died on Tuesday, following a bout of ill health at the age of 96. Lansbury, most famous for her roles on the TV show “Murder, She Wrote” and her turn as the teapot on Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast” was an iconic figure and voice for generations of the young and young at heart, as well as those who followed her pioneering exploits in what has now come to be known as the “cozy mystery” genre of crime solving dramas.

TRAILS from page 1 exactly where the trails are located. With that information, the county commission could determine the best way to preserve the trail segment.

“Utah has lost most of the trial between Salt Lake City and Wyoming – through road construction, railroads, reservoirs – we’ve lost a lot of this historic integrity east of Salt Lake City,” Merritt said.

Preservation possibilities include a pullout with an interpretative panel on the access road that separates the lots “so that the public could see it and understand that history,” he said. If larger portions were identified in some of the land currently scheduled to be developed in later phases, preservation could be incorporated more fully into the development plans “well in advance,” he said. “The properties that we’re talking about have an amazing vista overlooking East Canyon. That’s one of the allures, but what a great opportunity to tell visitors to Morgan County about that corridor history.”

Robin Scott, one of Golden Hills’ investors, shared how frustrated she is with this project that she and her co-investors have sought to develop for more than 16 years. Over the years they made several proposals, including a large park and a visitors’ center, which would have preserved some of the trails, but which were rejected in the past by the commission, she said.

“We have tried over the years to do everything we can to work with the Mormon Trail, we’ve tried to donate

ground back,” [one of the concept plans they proposed had a large park but the Mormon Trail Association had no interest in participating in developing it] “and it’s so frustrating to now get back to what you guys said – that we couldn’t do any more than 16 lots,” she said.

“For me at this point, I’d be more than happy to entertain with future buyers of this property what you’re proposing to do because I think it does have great value, but I can’t answer for them,” she said.

“All I can tell you is we’ll do our best to work with some future plans but I’m not going to be the buyer of this development.

Someone is and hopefully [they will be supportive].”

Fackrell expressed sympathy for Scott’s frustration, saying previous commissions had been opposed to any kind of growth in Morgan County.

“You guys came with some great proposals, and I appreciate that,” he told her. “All I’m asking is that maybe on the other phase at least look at maybe looking more futuristic.”

Fackrell also acknowledged that the process Scott and her fellow investors went through with the county to try and develop the land had been difficult in the past.

“It was just horrible, and that’s one thing we’ve been trying to do is work more closely, if we can, with private landowners to accomplish what we need to accomplish in this county,” he said.

At the commission’s request, Planning Director Joshua Cook spoke about how county code addressed historical trails. Generally, it doesn’t when it comes

to development, he said. if the commission wanted to address similar items in the future, changes could be made to the county’s zoning ordinances to give developers incentives to dedicate such land over to the county, Cooke suggested.

After Cooke spoke, another [unidentified] investor said she had tried accommodating county concerns and had spent a great deal of money doing so in the past.

“Every time we do something there’s some more things we have to resolve,” she said.

“I would appreciate you thinking

about the time and the cost that falls on us because I don’t have a whole lot of money, certainly not going into retirement and certainly not what these new special assessments would cost me and my family,” she said. “So just look at it from the little worker bee just trying to make a living.”

The discussion concluded without any resolution. The proposed Golden Hills subdivision has not come back before the county commission for approval since that meeting.l

Safety Day which was signed into effect Oct. 6, 1964, by President Lyndon B. Johnson.

This day was initially set aside specifically in recognition of the fact that white canes allow blind and visually impaired people to navigate independently and safely; however, over time the emphasis moved from a focus on safety toward a focus on affirming equality and independence for those who are blind. For this reason the day is now observed as White Cane Awareness Day. NFB President, Mark A. Riccobono says, “White Cane Awareness Day is our way of emphasizing the critical role that this tool plays in living the lives we want and informing the public about its

true significance.”

Since a blind person explores the world through their sense of hearing and touch, the white cane acts as an extension of their body, specifically the arm or hand, providing signals from their surroundings which allows them to move confidently. The white cane offers feedback that is crucial in helping them to avoid any dangerous obstacles in their direct path and keeping them directionally oriented.

Canes were first introduced in France during the 1930s to aid visually impaired pedestrians in independent travel, and they also served as an identification, warning motorists to yield to pedestrians who used them. Their use

has been protected by law in the United States since the first special white cane ordinance was passed in Dec. 1930 in Peoria, Ill..

Today, the White Cane law in Utah states, that “the operator of the vehicle must yield the right-of-way to a blind or visually impaired pedestrian carrying a clearly visible white cane or accompanied by a guide dog” and the penalty for failure to do so is a class C misdemeanor.

The white cane is an important tool that also serves as a symbolic reminder to society: blind people are capable of living independently and their white cane gives them the freedom to do so safely. l

avid fan of Warren Miller’s films since he first remembers watching as a toddler; his love and natural talent for the sport are what urged him to submit an entry.

The Daymaker film features different segments that showcase the culture and diversity of skiing, and Tyler was thrilled to be selected for the segment featuring freeride, big-mountain skiing. He was honored to film alongside Marcus Caston who, according to his personal website, is known for “his playful hop turns and clean arcs in just about any snow condition” and Johnny Moseley, a well-known freestyle skier who was part of the U.S. Ski Team.

Tyler, along with Caston and Moseley, will be featured under the category of resort skiing, a spectacular display of their impressive talent while skiing inbounds at Snowbasin Resort.

Last season, Tyler received his first sponsorship from Grass Sticks, and this season he’s sponsored by FlyLow Gear and K2 Skis. “It’s hard to go anywhere in skiing without sponsors”, Tyler commented, and he’s grateful for the partnership.

As a high school student, Tyler's immediate future plans include trying out for the University of Utah’s Free Ride Ski Team, which he knows is a challenging program to enter. Their team is currently ranked number one in nationals, a title they’ve held for the last ten years. After a year or two of college, Tyler then plans to serve a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Numerous competitions have taken Tyler to various resorts across the state of Utah as well as within the country from Alaska to California, and even

across the border to Canada. It’s not uncommon to ski at about 15 resorts in an average year, but Tyler emphatically stated, “Snowbasin is still my favorite by far!” As a resident of Mountain Green for the past 12 years, his home is conveniently located near the resort where he has spent a majority of his time skiing.

His dream is to make a name for himself in the outdoor world and to pursue a career related to professional skiing; he’s also interested in a marketing or entrepreneurship path in the industry.

For now, he’s excited to view the film with his family and is eagerly awaiting the next ski season.

White Cane Awareness Day

O

ctober 15 marks the 58th year of observing White Cane Day in the United States. The National Federation of the Blind can be credited with the establishment of this important day.

According to their website, it was during the 1960s that the “National Federation of the Blind became a leader in fighting for the rights of the blind and in pioneering innovative training programs using the white cane.” Thus, at the organization’s persistent lobbying, the United States congress adopted joint resolution HR 753 to designate October 15 of each year as White Cane

It was during this recovery period that Tyler received inspiration from Warren Miller’s ski films. He’d seen them before, but this time was different; they sparked a fire in him, driving his return to the slopes without any fear or hesitation.

Daymaker will be the 73rd Warren Miller film produced. Warren Miller’s ski films were the first of its kind, and they remain iconic in the ski community of Utah and around the world today.

Tyler was selected for the film through a contest in which participants were nominated based on their talent and compelling story.

Sewer district to double the number of connections served in Mountain Green Linda Petersen lpetersen@mycityjournals.com

M

organ County Commission has approved a significant expansion to the Mountain Green Sewer Improvement District Facilities at about 5455 W. Old Highway Road, Mountain Green. The expansion will include two new buildings, two clarifying tanks and an aerobic digester (where bacteria break down organic matter). on the 24acre parcel. The improvements include two new buildings, two clarifying tanks, and an aerobic digester. According to plans submitted to Morgan County, each building is under 28 feet tall, each tank will be constructed below grade except for six feet that will be above grade.

The structures will be located at least 20 feet away from the closest properties. The existing 8-foot-tall chain link fence will remain in place. Kent Smith Park currently occupies the northern 13 acres of the parcel for sports fields, sport courts and playground equipment, according to the project description All of the buildings and improvements will be located north of I-84 on the south side of the Sewer Improvement District Facilities which is south of Old Highway Road, County Planning Director Joshua Cook told the county commission on Oct. 4. Both the planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval of the conditional use permit for the expansion.

“This will give us over two and half times the capacity we have right now to continue to support the valley’s growth,” Bill Coutts, a member of the sewer board, told the county commis-

sion.

Coutts said the expansion will happen in two phases. The first phase will increase the number of served by the sewer district from 1,800 Equivalent Residential Units (usually households) to 4,615. The expansion is necessary to address future growth and to address a deficiency in the facility that the sewer district is required by the Department of Environmental Quality, according to a posting on the sewer district website.

“The Department of Environmental Quality notified the district on the 27th of January, 2021, that the district’s agreed upon yearly phosphorous lading cap had been exceeded and the district had five years to resolve the exceedance,” it said.

The plant upgrade will be funded

by American Rescue Plan Act funds, and low-interest loans from (loans) from the Department of Water Quality (1.3 percent) and the Community Impact Fund Board (2 percent).

“The District has currently received $3.1 million in ARPA funds and is expecting additional funds from both Morgan County and the state within the next several months,” the posting said.

Coutts told the county commission that the sewer district is planning a second phase of the expansion which would be completed in around 10 years and would again double the households served to 9,330.

“We’re absolutely on board; we want to get ahead of the growth that you guys want to do with infrastructure like this,” he said.

Sewer rates are not expected to increase. “However, due to the recent

surge in inflation and supply chain issues, this may change,” the posting said. “The District has formed a Fee Advisory Working Group that will assess a fair and reasonable approach to all fees.”

It is possible that the anticipated cost of the project could change, according to the posting: “There have been increases in wastewater construction and associated materials costs ranging from 30% to 70%. There have also been increases in labor costs. These issues, combined with an increase in inflation and ongo-

ing supply chain issues, could cause further increases. The District has already purchased much of the equipment required and is continuing to look at ways to minimize any cost increases.”

Coutts expressed the sewer district’s appreciation for the county commission at the Oct. 4 meeting where they approved the expansion.

“I’d like to personally thank the commissioners for all they have done to get us funding so that we don’t have to raise our rates to do our planned expansion,” he said.l

Witches Ride

By Ethan Hoffmann

T

his October you might just be lucky enough to sight a coven of witches on their Hallow’s Eve ride. However, there’s something a little different about these witches; they don’t ride brooms as you might expect. Instead, they prefer bikes as their mode of transportation! Witches Ride is a unique Halloween Event where Morgan mothers dress up as witches and throw candy to children along their five-mile route. This year is the third anniversary of this special event which originated in Houston, Texas, and Brooke Brooks, manager of the event, is very enthusiastic about this year’s ride. Brooks is a second grade teacher at Morgan Elementary School and is a mother of five boys.

“We have lived in Morgan for three years and absolutely love the community!” said Brooks. “Witches Ride is a fun night out to kick off Halloween and we’ve been doing it as long as we’ve been here. I love that it brings women together to do something fun and out of the ordinary. We make good memories and have plenty to talk about until next Year!”

Brooks and her family of seven were first introduced to Witches Ride when they lived outside Houston, Texas. “It was a very popular neighborhood idea where we lived and I loved the concept!” commented Brooks.

“It was so original I couldn’t resist bringing it to Morgan. It's a weird tradition, but it's a fun kind of weird.”

This year, Brooks reached out on the Facebook page “Morgan Moms” to try and get more people involved. She is very excited that people seem to be more interested in the event this year now that they have seen and heard about it. Brooks explained that when it started in Texas, around fifty people participated. “By now that number has probably doubled,” estimated Brooks.

“I’d like to see that number here in

Morgan County News

Morgan someday.”

This year Witches Ride will take place on Saturday, Oct. 15. All witches will come together at Riverside Park at 5:00 p.m. to prepare for the ride through town. The procession will meander through neighborhoods, following a basic route that will take them down main roads and through multiple neighborhoods. "I love seeing the kids along the route,” said Brooks, “and I always enjoy seeing the familiar faces of my students with the others." The ride will conclude at the end of Island Road here Brook’s husband will be waiting with a trucktowed trailer to haul the bikes and their riders back to the park. Brooks would like to invite any teenagers and adults who are interested in participating to contact her at (801) 425-6555.

“Make sure to bring warm clothes, good shoes, and a tuned-up bike if you would like to help,” said Brooks.

As a side note, capes often get caught in the bike tires and are not recommended for the ride. If you are going as a witch, make sure to bring some fun socks or leggings! l

Member of local Jr. Livestock places at the Utah State Fair

By Verlene Johnson

W

ith her heart beating and her mind wondering if she had done enough, Addison Turner waited to step into the ring with her lamb at the 2022 Utah State Fair. “Did I have the right feed and nutrition program, did I exercise him enough that he will have the endurance to keep going at this level, did I put in enough time with him?”

Addison’s 2021-2022 livestock year has been full of ups and downs. The new show year begins in September and she had purchased her steer from a breeder in Iowa. Unfortunately, before her steer arrived it passed away. “I was left just weeks from my first show and no steer. I went on a mad hunt looking for a new steer. I called breeders I had used before, looked at auctions, and talked to a lot of my show friends looking for a new steer.”

Missing her first show, Addison found a steer weeks before her second show in December. “You can never predict or stop the many different things that can happen when your teammate is an animal but learning to adjust and push forward is part of being involved in the livestock industry,” she commented.

In addition to showing steer, Addison also shows lambs. While competing in the 2021 State Fair she was able to meet some amazing breeders. These breeders helped her expand her breeding program and get an amazing lamb to show and compete with this year. “I will be forever grateful to YA-YA Club Lambs in Richfield, UT for all their support and all they have taught me this year,” said Addison. “When I was choosing what lamb to show this year, I had to make the decision to go with a traditional show lamb or go a little more extreme and show a Natural breed. I decided to go a bit more extreme and show the natural. This has been both been beneficial in some cases and has hurt in others. It all depends on the judge and what he/she likes that day.

But I have learned so much by showing this lamb about being flexible and not always following the norm. In life, we should always be willing to push ourselves and try new things, even if we are not sure of the outcome.”

Addison knew if she wanted to be competitive this year she had to put in the work. Making a goal to compete in at least 10 cattle shows and 10 lamb shows, she started showing cattle in

December and ended with showing her lamb for the last time at the State Fair in September. One of the great things about going to so many shows is that she got to meet so many different people from all over the U.S. “I can’t say enough about how amazing livestock kids and their families are.

Everyone is so willing to help and give tips to help you to improve your livestock project – but always knowing that once you step in the ring competition is on.”

Addison has been very successful this past year earning many awards including Neil Anderson Cattle Jackpot receiving Grand Champion Senior Showmen, Bear River Classic Cattle/ Lamb Jackpot receiving Grand Champion Senior Showman in Cattle and third place Senior Showman and third place market in lambs, Shamrock Showdown Cattle Jackpot receiving Reserve Champion Senior Showman, Breeders Cup Cattle Jackpot receiving third place Senior Showman, Divas and Dudes Lamb Jackpot receiving fourth place market lamb, Barn Burner Cattle Jackpot receiving Grand Champion Senior Showman.

In August, when she showed both her lamb and steer at the Morgan County Fair, Addison received Grand Champion Senior Showman Beef and Reserve Champion Market Beef. She also received Reserve Champion Senior Showman Lamb and fourth overall Market Lamb.

As she stepped into the ring at the Utah State Fair, she knew she had done enough. “My nerves were gone and I just enjoyed the experience with me and my lamb. I had competed against these showmen many times in the past year, and I knew how amazing they are and how hard they all had worked to get to this point,” said Addison.

In the end, Addison placed fifth overall out of nearly 140 showmen in Senior Showmanship and eighth overall out of approximately 240 showmen in Market.

“Addison Turner is the epitome of the youth leaders we need in our livestock programs,” said Leslie Shupe, a Morgan Livestock coordinator. “Not only does she set a huge example of hard work and grit with the work she puts into her animals. She puts even more into mentoring the younger kids and helping them succeed” Addison is starting her 10th year of showing livestock; however, this will be her final year as she is now a senior

in high school. She said of her experience, “I have really enjoyed being involved in the Jr. Livestock program.

It has taught me so many lessons that I could never list them all out. The one lesson I have learned most is to help and serve others. I would hope that if anyone would want to know more about the livestock program or want to get involved in this amazing program, they would reach out to me. I love to help kids learn and grow in livestock.

Being an example and someone that a little kid can look up to is by far the best takeaway from showing livestock.

If I could be that person to someone, I

am being successful in this program.”

The best advice she could give anyone who is discouraged because they have not won a buckle or a banner yet - is to be patient, “your time will come, work hard, and ask questions.”

Addison is currently preparing to compete at Arizona Nationals in December with her lamb. She said that she knows this experience might not bring home a buckle or a banner, but she knows that by preparing for this experience she will push herself, learn and gain skills that she will take throughout the rest of her life, “this is why I show.” l

Due to the auditorium renovation, Fritz decided to do a play in her classroom again, repurposing the set they used for “You Can’t Take it with You”, for Agatha Christie’s “Mouse Trap.”

focus more on the sound cues and getting everything down to the point.

Mouse Trap is the world's longest-running play-set in the 1940s wintertime-about the guests and staff at Monkswell Manor who find themselves stranded during a snowstorm after a local woman is murdered. It soon becomes clear that the killer is

among them, and the seven strangers grow increasingly suspicious of one another. A police detective, arriving on skis, interrogates the suspects: the newlyweds running the house; a spinster with a curious background; an architect who seems better equipped to be a chef; a retired Army major; a strange little man who claims his car

has overturned in a drift; and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. When a second murder takes place, tensions and fears escalate.

“This record-breaking murder mystery features a brilliant surprise finish from Dame Agatha Christie, the foremost mystery writer of her time,” commented Fritz. She is also known for “Murder on the Orient Express” as well as many, other mystery books and plays.

While the script does make references to cigarettes, Fritz has cut out all of these references which makes the content appropriate for everyone; however, young children may not find the PG content very interesting.

Because “Mouse Trap has only a cast of nine characters and Fritz wanted more students to be able to participate, she double cast the play.

The show will run Oct. 28 through Nov.4. l

ucy Tripp, daughter of George and Kimberlie Tripp and a senior at Morgan High School, earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36.

Fewer than half of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a top score. In the U.S. high school graduating class of 2021, only 4,055 out of 1.29 million students who took the ACT earned a top composite score of 36.

The ACT consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science, each scored on a scale of 1–36. A student's composite score is the average of the four test scores. The score for ACT’s optional writing test is reported separately and is not included within the ACT composite score.

“Earning a top score on the ACT is a remarkable achievement,” said ACT CEO Janet Godwin. “A student’s exceptional score of 36 will provide any college or university with ample evidence of their readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead.”

The ACT is a curriculum-based achievement exam that measures what students have learned in school.

Students who earn a 36 composite score have likely mastered all of the skills and knowledge they will need to succeed in first-year college courses in the core subject areas.

ACT scores are accepted by all major four-year colleges and universities across the U.S. Lucy is also a semi-finalist for the National Merit Scholarship. It is based

on PSAT scores. Final selections will be in April.

To become a Finalist, the Semifinalist and a high school official must submit a detailed scholarship application, in which they provide information about the Semifinalist’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities, employment along with honors and awards received. A Semifinalist must have an outstanding academic record throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn SAT® or ACT® scores that confirm the student’s earlier performance on the qualifying test. l

ur greatest resource in supporting families to provide high-quality education for all students is our teachers.

Our teachers are committed to helping kids. They are the ones who work daily to develop instructional activities that help students to build the knowledge and skills they need. Those needs and our understanding of how best to meet those needs continue to evolve. And, our teachers continue to rise to the challenge by seeking targeted professional development, carving out time to collaborate with peers, and spending significant chunks of time beyond their contract time--and after their extra duties for our additional programs--to improve their craft as professionals.

The State Legislature has recognized the value of professional development during the school year when students can most benefit from the new strategies and course corrections. As such, HB 184, Teacher Professional Development Amendments, authorizes districts to use up to four of our 180 school days for professional development. Our secondary teachers have

already spent a full day last week diving into more effective assessments and collaboration. Our elementary teachers will be engaged in targeted literacy training throughout the year. Our three asynchronous days and extra early out days this year will give our teachers essential additional time to learn, develop, and implement best educational practices to support student growth.

Below are responses to questions that I have been asked by other staff and parents: Yes, administrators will work with departments and teams to provide oversight for their professional development plans.

Yes, students will have learning activities at home on the asynchronous days.

Yes, the district calendar that is posted on the website includes the asynchronous and extra early-out dates so that families can plan accordingly.

No, this does not conflict with minimum days or seat time requirements: the State has suspended the 990 minutes rule.

It is also more effective to have these days designated in advance rather than adding them later. l

S

Celebrity Profile

By Christina McIvor TV Media

Jordan Peele can do it all. The multitalented actor/ director/writer/producer/comedian has taken Hollywood by storm, showcasing his distinctive voice both in front of and behind the camera. His work spans a variety of genres but often focuses on complex and thought-provoking societal issues packaged as horror or psychological thrillers. This unique approach has earned him both Academy and box office success, as well as a plethora of fans waiting for his next project.

Thankfully, they won’t have to wait long as two of Peele’s newest projects, “Wendell & Wild” and the newest season of “Big Mouth,” premiere Friday, Oct. 28, on Netflix.

Born Feb. 21, 1979, in New York City, Peele’s upbringing led him to enroll in Sarah Lawrence College, where he intended to study puppetry, but he eventually left to pursue comedy full time. In 2003, he landed his breakout role on Fox’s sketch comedy series “MADtv,” where he met his frequent collaborator Keegan-Michael Key. The two soon created their own comedy series, “Key & Peele,” which ran from 2012 to 2015 and won two Primetime Emmys. Both also appeared as FBI agents in the first season of FX’s “Fargo” in 2014. They also wrote, produced and starred in the actioncomedy film “Keanu” (2016), appearing as cousins who attempt to rescue a kitten from a street gang by posing as drug dealers.

In 2017, Peele’s directorial debut came with the horror/thriller “Get Out,” which starred Daniel Kaluuya (“Black Panther,” 2018) as a young Black man visiting his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams, “Girls”) parents for the weekend. He soon discovers that impressing her family is the least of his problems. The film was an immediate critical and commercial success, grossing over $250 million worldwide and earning a 98% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Trojans Rout the Tigers 49-3 to Round Out Homecoming Week

By Jackson Woolsey

F

or many years high schools across the nation have celebrated homecoming to kick off the start of a new school year. That celebration made its way to Morgan this past week and Morgan High School students participated in many activities.

A standing tradition is to end the homecoming festivities with a football game. On Thursday, Oct. 6, 2022 the Morgan Trojans football team took the field to face region foe, the Ogden Tigers under the lights.

Before the game Morgan seniors were recognized as it was their final game at home. Seniors recognized were Nick Despain, Zac Nelson, Quinten Farley, Conner Brown, Jimmy Savage, Josh Criddle, Gavin Turner, Payton Brooks, Jarron Ball, Gunnar Lish, Rhett Nye, Porter Anderson, Ethan Pace, Shaun Moore, Ty Wheeler, Ben Williams, Rylee Creasey, Joe Correia, Cole Keele, Justin Carrigan, Kyan Larsen, Aydon Thomson, Niko Duael and Tyler Buckway.

The team outscored Ogden by 21 points in the first and second quarters.

In the third, the Tigers were able to get on the board with a field goal, and in the fourth Morgan closed out the game with another touchdown to make the final score 49-3.

Quarterback Nick Despain, was deemed the player of the game. Despain put Morgan on the board first early in the opening quarter with a 42-yard touchdown run. In total he recorded 210 passing yards which led to four touchdowns, and 63 running yards that ended

with two touchdowns.

The weather is changing and the leaves are falling which means the football regular season is coming to an end and the playoffs are right around the corner. After the win over Ogden, Morgan extends their season record to 9-0 and look to make a deep run in the postseason. To end regular season play, the Trojans take on the Union Cougars on the road on October 12, 2022.l

MHS year-round Rodeo Club stays busy

By Verlene Johnson

T

he Morgan High School Rodeo Club was organized in the 70s

by Maylen and Judy Hebdon, with members competing in their first rodeo in 1980. Over the years the club has grown to 30 members. The Rodeo Club is part of the Utah High School Rodeo Association and the National High School Rodeo Association where they compete all over the state against other High School Clubs.

Their season is year-round with a break between fall and spring. Practicing weekly throughout the summer at the Morgan County Fairgrounds on Wednesday nights they prepare for the first Rodeo of the season that takes place in mid-August in Oakley Utah.

There are not many rodeos where you can watch 15+ bull riders, goat tying, and pole bending which the ladies compete. In addition, there is a new two new events for members to compete in; trap shooting and .22 long rifle, which is the fastest-growing event in the Utah High School Rodeo circuit. Practices for shooting are held every Tuesday night during the summer at the Morgan County Rifle Range.

The fall season finishes with the rodeos known as the Dixie 6. The Dixie High School Rodeo Club hosts six rodeos in the first three weekends of November. The last rodeo of the Dixie 6 ends with a fun Cowboy Prom that the team members can attend.

After taking a break in the winter months, the spring season starts at the end of March with the MHS rodeo club hosting a rodeo the first part of May. The rodeo season ends for the year in June with the State Rodeo Finals.

“Utah is a very competitive state

in regards to High School Rodeo,” said Kelli Petty, the club secretary and liaison between the state and the club.

“Many of Utah's state winners go on to Nationals where they win or place very high.”

Rodeo fans may not realize that there is no gate fee to watch high school rodeos or that the rough stock is usually the same stock you would see ridden at an RMPRA Rodeo.

“Rodeo is a unique sport, we have many team members that are involved in other sports at the high school,” stated Petty. “The team members are not required to compete in a certain number of rodeos. They can work it around their own schedule.”

Because not all high schools offer a rodeo club, MHS Rodeo Club has team members that attend other high schools and compete with the high school’s club. “We want the community to know that those who are interested in participating in rodeo are welcome to come to our practices with no pressure to compete,” added Petty. "There are a lot of kids in the community that rides or shoots, but maybe feel intimidated to actually compete. We are providing practice and training to help get those kids some technical help as well as confidence.”

There is also a Jr. High team that has members who practice with the high school team so they can get ready to compete when they are eligible.

While participating in a bareback ride in Salina, Utah on Saturday, Sept 10, Clay Henderson, a junior club member was seriously injured when his arm was hung up in his riggen.

They transported him to the Richfield hospital where he was then airlifted to Primary Children's Medical Center. Clay's femur was severely

CLAY HENDERSON

damaged and he underwent surgery to place a titanium rod from his knee to his hip. A few days later he underwent an additional surgery to place a plate on his cheekbone.

“Clay amazes us all!! He and his family feel so fortunate that his injuries weren't worse. He is in great spirits and is recovering,” informed Petty. He also participates in the Trap Shooting event and has every intention of participating in that event in the upcoming Dixie 6 Rodeos.

To help with Clay's medical expenses, the rodeo club will be holding a fundraiser on Saturday, Oct. 15 at the Morgan County Gun Range from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be a trap shooting tournament that will be Annie Oakley style. Each round will cost $5 and a $10 gift card will be given

CLAY SHOWING GREAT progress in his recovery

to the winner of each round. This fundraiser is open to the public with no pre-registration required. Cash and Venmo will be accepted at the fundraiser.

In addition, there will be a small concessions stand and a silent auction with items that include: Minky blankets, Wilkinson Concrete Pull Yards and a .22 Rough Rider Small-Bore Heritage 6 Shooter Gun. The public is welcome to come to the Silent Auction without participating in the Trap Shoot. If people in the community would like to donate items to the silent auction they can contact Kelli Petty at 801-698-2573 to arrange it. l

OBITUARY

Carl Ramon

July 2, 1940 – Oct. 8, 2022

Commission helps voters make informed decision about Utah judges W

hen you receive your ballot at election time, do you reach the section on judges and ask, “Why are there judges on my ballot?” If so, you are not alone. In fact, many Utahns skip voting on judges because they do not feel knowledgeable enough to make decisions regarding judicial performance.

Thankfully, times are changing.

The Utah Judicial Performance Evaluation Commission (JPEC) provides independent evaluations of judges to help Utahns cast an informed vote regarding each judge on their ballot.

An independent state commission established by the 2008 Utah Legislature, JPEC is comprised of a diverse group of Utah citizens appointed by the different branches of state government. JPEC’s primary goals are to collect and distribute valid, nonpartisan information to the public about each judge’s performance and provide judges with useful performance feedback. In addition, JPEC promotes accountability of the judiciary while supporting it as an independent branch of government.

Utah law requires that each judge be subject to a merit retention election if they seek to retain their position. This means that in each general election, groups of judges appear on the ballot unopposed, and voters must decide whether they should continue to serve in office. The public votes “Yes” or “No.” Utah judges do not campaign or fundraise for their positions, which helps considerably to keep our judiciary from becoming beholden to

donors and special interest groups.

Instead, Utah asks its citizens to decide and to base retention decisions on merit.

JPEC publishes evaluation results and determines whether the judge meets or exceeds performance standards or fails to meet them. This information is available to the public on JPEC’s website, judges.utah.gov.

Voters make the ultimate decision with their votes.

Parts of the judicial retention process are not well known to the public.

“To be sure, most judges in Utah achieve high marks on their evaluations, a reflection of the rigorous merit selection process in place,” said Jennifer Yim, JPEC executive director.

However, for those who receive negative determinations by JPEC, they almost always step down rather than allow their evaluation to become public in a retention election.

“When you see a long list of judges who meet or exceed performance standards, you can be sure JPEC’s process has contributed to a state judiciary of the highest caliber,” she said.

Yim urges all voters to complete their ballot this November and become informed on the judges by visiting judges.utah.gov to review the information before making their own choices.

“Citizens have an important role to play in Utah’s judiciary,” Yim said. “We want everyone to cast an informed vote to ensure judges serve your community well.” l

Emergency Water Storage Made Simple

Our Beloved Husband, Father, Grandfather and Great-Grandfather, Carl Ramon Dearden, passed away peacefully on Saturday, October 8, 2022 surrounded by his family. Carl was born July 2, 1940 to Ray and Maina Dearden of Henefer, Utah.

Carl grew up in Henefer and graduated from North Summit High School where he served as the student body president of the class of 1958.

In 1960, Carl served a faithful LDS mission in the Central Atlantic States (North Carolina and Virginia). He loved his mission and it provided a strong foundation for future church service the rest of his life.

In 1963, Carl enlisted in the Air Force Reserves and was stationed at Hill Air Force Base. He served his country for 6 years.

During this time Carl also attended Weber State College where he graduated with a Bachelors of Science degree in Political Science and completed a Secondary Education teaching certificate.

Carl began and ended his 34 year teaching career at Morgan High School, “In the Valley where skies are so blue”. Carl taught Geography, AP History, Psychology, and US Studies. He also served as the advisor for the Student body officers for over 30 years.

Carl was a master teacher, an innovative educator, a champion for students, and a relentless pursuer of knowledge. He loved mentoring young people and preparing them for leadership roles.

Carl met Shirley L Carter on a blind date in 1968 and quickly knew he’d found his eternal sweetheart. After a short courtship, the two were married and sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on August 13, 1968.

The young couple began their married life in Henefer and he never found anywhere else he wanted to live. Henefer was heaven to him.

Carl and Shirley welcomed 6 children into their loving family. Shelly (Tim) Olsen, Sue (Steven) Williams, Cindy (Byron) Bosshardt, Barry (Krisanne) Dearden, Todd (Justin) Dearden, Alison (Cameron) Day. Carl and Shirley’s family expanded to include 16 beloved grandchildren(plus bonus in-law Grandchildren), and 5 great-grandchildren. His family was everything to him.

Carl was involved in community service and served on the North Summit School Board for 8 years. He took seriously the opportunity and obligation to participate in local government. He never missed voting and taught his family to do the same.

Carl loved serving in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and served faithfully as a Bishop, Bishop’s Counselor, High Councilor, YM President (Ward and Stake), High Priest Group Leader, teacher and in various other positions.

Carl and Shirley fulfilled a lifelong goal when they served a mission together in the mission office of the Birmingham Alabama Mission. He often commented that he had

the world’s best companion and their time serving in the South was a highlight in his life.

One of the greatest joys of Carl’s life was serving in the Ogden Temple for 5 years.

His service in the temple ended when he lost his sight in 2008.

The last 14 years of Carl’s life were filled with choices. He chose to not give up, He chose to see God’s hand in his life and to see the silver lining in all things. He chose to reach out to others, to serve and to be patient. He and Shirley found ways to spread love and comfort through making hundreds of fleece blankets that were shared with ambulance crews, shelters, and many others. He brought smiles to thousands of children through the work he did completing 25,000 cars for Tiny Tim’s workshop.

Carl’s influence and example to his family and others will always be remembered.

He was always Grateful. Always Faithful.

His children, most of all, wish to thank their mother for her unending love and care of our Dad. You are his sweetheart, loving companion, and his eyes for 14 years. No one could have done more than you did for him.

Carl was preceded in death by his parents, Ray and Maina Dearden, his fatherin-law and mother-in-law, Ralph and Fern Carter and his two older brothers, Larry (Kay) Dearden and Don (Connie) Dearden.

We rejoice in the reunion we are certain Dad had with them.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, October 13th, at the Henefer LDS Chapel at 11 AM. Viewings will be held at the Henefer Ward Building on Wednesday October 12th from 6 PM to 8 PM and at the church on Thursday from 9:30 to 10:30 prior to the services.

Interment will follow at the Henefer City Cemetery. *A Carl R. Dearden scholarship fund has been created to be awarded to a Morgan High student. Anyone who wishes to contribute or in lieu of flowers can contact the Morgan School District office.

What is Media Literacy?

Knowing the difference between news that really happened and news that is a made-up story is important. Today, information comes from all directions. It shows up in print, online, on the radio, on billboards … all kinds of places!

Prove it, Pinocchio!

It was easy to tell when Pinocchio wasn’t telling the truth because his nose grew whenever he fibbed. But it’s not always that easy. Sometimes you need proof to tell the difference between what is TRUE and what is FALSE. Look closely at this picture to see which of Pinocchio’s statements are TRUE and which are FALSE. Cross out the false statements. Circle the true ones.

“My water “I’m not bottle wearing a hat leaked!” right now!”

Reading carefully and knowing the difference between real and false is called Media Literacy. Check out your media literacy skills with today’s Kid Scoop page!

“My backpack has pockets.”

True news or not?

Today, you get information from lots of different places – the Internet, TV, newspapers, magazines, radio, and more. Some of it is true, and some of it is not.

When something isn’t real, we say it is “fake,”“false,” or “made up.”

Clearly, our article about a fairy finding a leprechaun’s gold is not true. It is made up and just for fun.

But sometimes, it’s not so easy to tell the difference between real (true) news and stories that are false.

True Clues

Here are three ways you can check to see if something you read is true or made up. Ask a librarian or another trusted adult to help you when you go online.

“Now there’s a puddle on the floor!”

1. Does it say if it is fiction or if it is news?

2. Look at the source.

Notice where the news came from. In this case, it is from “Fairy Land News.” Is that a real news reporting source?

Sometimes an exaggerated story is meant to poke fun.

This is called satire.

Answer the following questions when you read or hear a news item.

whoever un tradition, “It’s a leprecha ts to keep it,” said ge finds the gold ver, lawyer for the lo Shamus O’C n Leprechaun League. le Fairywood G

3. Look at the byline.

The byline tells you the name of the person who supposedly wrote the article. Is Normen Gnome a real person?

6. “This chair is too soft,” said Goldilocks.

Standards Link: Reading Comprehension: Analyze intention in written text.

Ad Facts and Opinions

Two of the Three Little Pigs are sharing opinions, and one is making a statement of fact.

Find an advertisement you like in today’s newspaper. Circle the facts in green. Cross out the opinions. What does the ad say if you read only the facts?

Do the math to find out which pig is sharing a fact. Odd-numbered answers are opinion, and even-numbered answers are fact. Circle the opinions in red crayon. Circle the fact in green.

Standards Link: Language Arts: Distinguish between fact and opinion.

7. Baby Bear shouted, “Someone has been sleeping in my bed. And they’re still here!”

My Newspaper

Imagine you are publishing your very own newspaper. What would you call it? What stories would be on the front page today?

8. “Going into unfamiliar places can be dangerous,” said Goldilocks.
