MHS Girls Golf brings home first ever State Title

By Liisa London Mecham

As freshmen in 2020, the MHS seniors on the golf team didn’t get to compete at state due to Covid. The next two years they watched at Richfield took the title twice, just like they had before Covid, four times in five years. But 2023 was the Lady Trojans year! Entering state as the top ranked 3A team, Morgan led from the first hole to the 36th hole. After the first day of the tournament, Morgan held a seven stroke lead, 322 to 329, over the reigning champions, Richfield, and after day two, they had stretched the lead to 12 strokes, bringing home Morgan’s first ever girls’ golf state title. Ellie DeMond earned Morgan’s first ever girls’ individual title finishing nine strokes over her teammate Jailee Snow, who earned the silver medal.

In the team standings, Morgan finished with 642 total strokes over

second-place Richfield’s 654. Juan Diego was third with 666 and Grantsville finished fourth (707).

Head coach Dennis Peterson commented, “What a way to finish off a high school golf career! I am so blessed to be able to be a part of this team. From having to play or not play through the Covid year and the changes that were made, to the worst spring weather ever in a girls golf season, this group just kept fighting until the end. To all of the team, thank you for letting me coach!”

Seniors DeMond and Snow, who have both signed to play golf for Westminster College in Salt Lake City, led the team with the one-two finish individual finish as gold and silver medalists. DeMond finished two under par with a dominant Day 2 showing after shooting par on Day

The Lending Library

By Ethan Hoffmann

The Little Lending Library at Riverside Park is now open! The library's motto is to “bring one, borrow one” or “take one, leave one” and the community has been enjoying what the project has to offer for many years. Citizens of Morgan can choose a book to read while they are at the park and are free to take it home to read with the family. Just make sure that you bring it back when you are finished reading, or bring another book to replace it. If you are cleaning out your book collection, the Lending Library loves and is happy to accept gently used donations for the cause.

The Lending Library was organized by River Pinhey, an Eagle scout who made the project in Morgan come to life. “I noticed that there were small boxes with books in them along the side of the road in several places

around Utah,” said Pinhey. “I thought it’d be beneficial to have one that is easily accessible to the public in Morgan and the perfect place would be at Riverside Park, the one place everyone comes and hangs out in Morgan.” Pinhey’s uncle, a local seminary teacher named John Heywood, helped him tremendously with this project, going so far as to help his nephew build the entire thing from scratch and install it at the park.

According to Pinhey, the project actually changed a few times over the course of the next couple of years, mainly due to exterior damage. The kids at the park liked hanging on the door of the library, and in the process, they would often break it. Pinhey and

and as a junior. Her freshman year DeMond won the PGA high school tournament that was held in lieu of the State Championships due to Covid. DeMond is a four-time All-State Golfer, four time regional medalist, and four time Region Champion.

DeMond shared her experience at state. “As a team, we have been preparing for this tournament for the past year. I worked hard to be ready for this moment and decided to just focus on ‘one shot at a time’ which helped me shoot some of the best scores of my career, including a 2 under par in the final round.”

“Coming up the 18th hole, I knew I wanted to finish strong and was so excited to see my team standing around the final hole. As I made my final putt, I was so excited to embrace my team knowing we had just won the championship.”

Durham Report Released

The long-anticipated report from GOP-appointed special counsel John Durham into the FBI’s investigation into potential collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign was released to predictable partisan reactions. Former president Trump immediately claimed that the report confirmed the spurious nature of what eventually became the Mueller investigation, while critics on the left equally immediately trumpeted the fact that no prosecutions or advisory changes to the FBI came out of the report, showing that it was a “dud”. The likely outcome of the investigation is more fuel for what promises to be a long campaign season leading up to 2024’s presidential election, which is also likely to see a rematch of current president Joe Biden and former president Donald Trump.

Wholesale egg prices decline

After a year in which egg prices were one of the main kitchen table indexes for the state of inflation in the U.S., production capacity has caught up and surpassed demand. In 2021 and 2022, avian flu had decimated the egg-producing chicken numbers across the country, leading to limited supplies and higher prices. Inflation added to the situation, and eggs reached up to $6 a dozen or even more in most markets. The numbers of layers have since rebounded, and avian flu has not been a significant health issue for animals this year. Wholesale prices have fallen dramatically, though so far the drop has only trickled down to retail costs. Experts predict those costs will also fall significantly in the coming months.

Record temperatures expected across the west

Following a wetter than average winter, the west coast of the U.S. has jumped straight into a hotter than average spring. Temperatures in Oregon and Washington have reached the low 90s already, with predictions of hotter temperatures to come in the next few months. There is not a lot of air conditioning infrastructure on the pacific coast, as the temperatures are generally fairly moderate. The “heat dome” which is currently occupying the coast will be moving inland and heading to the Rockies soon, bringing what are likely to be record temperatures to the inland northwest, including Idaho, soon.

Lori Vallow found guilty on all counts

After deliberating for just over seven hours, an Ada County jury found Lori Daybell guilty on all the charges against her. Vallow was charged with two counts of the first-degree murder of her children, two counts of conspiracy to commit murder, and additional counts of grand theft. Vallow will be transferred to Fremont County to await her sentencing hearing. The trial of Chad Daybell, which also includes charges of additional murders, will begin soon.

Ogden City closes wildlife rehabilitation center to build a parking lot

By Peri Kinder

From hummingbirds to eagles, from mice to porcupines, the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah in Ogden, at 1490 Park Blvd., has helped rehabilitate and rehome more than 34,000 wildlife patients since it opened its doors in 2009.

So when DaLyn Marthaler, the organization’s executive director and wildlife specialist, received an eviction notice in March from Ogden City, she was stunned. The notice stated they had until September 6 to vacate the property.

“We were completely blindsided,” she said. “This came out of nowhere. For a nonprofit, especially with what we do with thousands and thousands of animals, that was just not possible.”

When the contract with the city was first negotiated 12 years ago, Marthaler expressed concern that the city could take back the property with only six months' notice. She said she was told it was verbiage the city used to protect itself, that it wasn’t a big deal, that if everything went well the facility could be considered a permanent location for wildlife rehabilitation.

After several years, WRC began investing in the property, spending tens of thousands of dollars to improve the building. A new HVAC system was installed, new flooring, water heaters, LED lights and even a pool was custom built so aquatic life could rehabilitate safely.

“Right now, we are looking for a temporary facility because what our needs are, we can't do. So the hope is we're going to get a temporary property and makeshift it the best we can,” she said. “We will be limited on what we can do. Like for example, we have a beaver and right now this is the last beaver that will be rehabbed in Utah, all of Utah, because no one else does beaver, except for us.”

The reason for the eviction is so the George S. Eccles Dinosaur Park (located next to the WRCNU) can build a parking lot and maintenance facility. The First Amendment and Forbearance Agreement from Ogden City stated Marthaler knew the location was temporary and it was

Heywood had to redesign the door multiple times so that people couldn’t destroy it as easily. The first iteration of the door swung out from the side and the hinges just weren’t strong enough to support that much weight. The second iteration of the door had hinges at the top so it would be impossible for kids to hang on it.

“This seems to have worked very well, as it has lasted a lot longer with this design,” commented Pinhey.

“My uncle and I painted the Lending Library with a color palette that looks friendly and inviting in the hopes that people will be curious about it and utilize it more.”

Since Pinhey finished this project in 2015, he has graduated from Morgan High, served a mission in Yakima, Washington, and is now enrolled in college at BYU-Idaho. He works for the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and does cinematography. Pinhey loves his job and by creating videos that help strengthen the community, he has been able to work on projects for his community in a different way since his Eagle project. “I am honestly amazed that the lending library in Riverside Park grew into such an amazing project,” Pinhey emphasized. “I am thankful that I was able to be part of it. Morgan is an amazing community and I am proud that I was able to help strengthen the community through reading!”

Pinhey’s family oversaw the Lending Library and was responsible for upkeep for a long time. When they moved to Idaho, its management was transferred to the Friends of the Morgan County Library. The head of

always the city’s intention to expand the dinosaur park. While a request to interview Ogden City Mayor Mike Caldwell was not granted, the city has given the WRCNU a six-month extension on the eviction if the center can purchase a new property or sign a five-year lease before the Sept. 6 deadline. The city issued this statement:

“This six-month extension effectively gives the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center one year from the original date of notice to take steps toward finding a new facility to operate out of. From the beginning, this arrangement was meant to be temporary, with the knowledge that the city would turn the property over for expansion at the Dinosaur Park. We appreciate the work the WRCNU does in Ogden and for all of Northern Utah and hope that this additional time will aid in their successful relocation.”

Marthaler said it will be almost impossible to find a new location before the September deadline and, as of May 15, the WRCNU stopped taking in any more injured or abandoned animals. They are trying to rehome or re-

habilitate the current 250 wildlife patients still in its care or the animals will have to be killed. As the only rehab facility in Northern Utah, Marthaler is frantically looking for space to start over.

“What we need is another facility like this and it’s going to cost millions,” she said. “We need our community to keep following this. One of our biggest fears is that we close and people forget about us. We need people to keep on top of us and keep supporting us to make sure we get up and moving as quickly as possible.”

Marthaler asks supporters to sign the petition at WRCNU.org and follow the organization on Facebook for updates.

the organization, a local named Jo Burby, is now one of the current sponsors for the project and will help the library continue to thrive for years to come. Pinhey even inspired others to provide similar services at their businesses, such as Hinds Country Store right off the Peterson exit. l

Morgan City declares state of emergency

By Linda Petersen

Joining other northern Utah communities, Morgan City has declared a state of emergency due to the potential for flooding in the area. This is just a precautionary move, City Manager Ty Bailey told Mayor Steve Gale and the city council at their May 9 meeting.

“This is hopefully not a huge deal, but it’s just in anticipation that the state has a statewide flooding declaration that would make us part of that,” he said. “Hopefully, we don’t have enough damage of our own to warrant a localized reimbursement process, but statewide I think we’ll probably hit that threshold once they add up all of the flooding statewide. It doesn’t mean that we’re actively flooding. It’s just that we’re recognizing the potential.”

Morgan City has already experienced some flooding and the city has made repairs to East Canyon Creek, he said. If needed, under the emergency declaration, the city would be able to be reimbursed for its expenses.

This declaration will not help out local residents who might experience flood damage as the federal funds this triggers are only for large-scale events, Bailey said. It is difficult for individuals to get any federal assistance unless the damage across the community is extreme such as with hurricanes or where there are large-scale evacuations.

“I don’t anticipate that this will ever reach that level,” he said.

However, the federal funding will cover damage to city-owned facilities or reimbursement for city efforts to address flooding, Bailey said. The city has already seen erosion at the sewer plant including the potential loss of a road there, for example.

“It will reimburse our flood fighting costs and damages to our own facilities, but it would not be for residents,” he said.

The city will get credit for volunteer time residents put in and if residents or local businesses donate the use of equipment to help with flood control. The federal funding usually requires some kind of local match, and volunteer hours and donations can help Morgan City reach that threshold, Bailey said.

Flooding damage in Morgan has been minimal so far but that could change as the higher-level snow melts, he said. “There’s a lot more water yet to come. We’ve had some cool weather and have been fortunate so far, so good, but we do anticipate future impacts.”

Bailey reported that Weber Basin Water Conservation District anticipates a spillover of East Canyon Creek. “There’s just no controls on East Canyon Creek with all the side drainages,” he said. “Once it spills, there’s absolutely no controls right at that point.”

Weber Basin Water has “backed off East Canyon Creek as much as they can,” but water managers are already seeing potential flooding, Bailey said. “To give you an idea, our detention pond at the park has already received water. When East Canyon Creek hits flood stage or storm drain, it not only doesn’t function, it backs up. So, you can tell the exact level of East Canyon Creek.”

The city has plans in place to address potential flooding, Bailey reported. They’ve made plans for the storm drain system, and Bailey has been working with Morgan County Emergency Manager Austin Turner “pretty much daily,” he said.

Among those plans is addressing any water backup on Derrick Circle. If flooding impacts homes in the area, they can plug the storm drain there and pump the water to the nearby new subdivision which has a storm drain that feeds into the Weber River, Bailey said. l

WHAT TO WATCH

‘Fast X’ entertaining, but just a start

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

By this point in the franchise, you’re either a “Fast and the Furious” fan or you’re not.

The series has always been a very specific flavor, an action movie blended with a cartoon and turned up to 11. Each entry has doubled down on the movie before, making the crashes bigger and more ridiculous and throwing the word “family” in there even more often. People come back from the dead more regularly than they do on soap operas, and no one explains references to previous films. If all of this isn’t your cup of tea, you stopped watching these movies a long time ago. So I’m speaking to the fans when I say that “Fast X” is only half a movie. It’s a really long half a movie, clocking in at two hours and 20 minutes, and at no point during that stretch of time will you be bored. But there’s no mini arc in this film, no moment of temporary closure that leaves you satisfied but still eager for more. Fifteen different things happen, 45 more things are set up, and everything explodes, but you’ll still leave feeling like the movie got cut off halfway through.

The plot ties back to “Fast Five,” giving the bad guy from that movie a son who now hates Dom and his family with every fiber of his being. He executes the first stage of his massive revenge plan at the start of the movie, causing mayhem, violence, and destruction at every turn. As is fitting for the opening of the franchise’s final spin, nearly everyone who’s ever interacted with the team makes an appearance.

As the new villain, Jason Momoa is almost alarmingly good. He’s full-on evil, enough to be genuinely unsettling at various points, but he’s also so over-thetop he fits into this franchise like he was made for it. It makes him an even more effective antagonist than Charlize Theron, who was fun in her own way but tended to alter the energy of the series rather than keep

BRAIN TEASERS

up with it.

Everything else here is also pretty entertaining. A lot of the side characters really only have time to be introduced, but their initial appearances have all the crashing and explosions the series is known for. There are a few genuinely spectacular stunt sequences, full of all kinds of delightfully ridiculous driving, and “family” is said so many times it might be a series record.

What’s hard, though, is that everything feels like it just barely gets started. There are so many introductions, crashes and explosions that people barely have time to find their feet, let alone make the plot progress. Then the movie ends with a sequence of massive cliff-

hangers, which are so big they immediately become less impactful to those of us familiar with the series. By this point, we fans are aware of how “Fast and the Furious” movies work.

It’s possible that when “Fast 11” comes out, it will combine with “Fast X” to be a massive, mind-blowing combo movie. Until then, though, it feels like this engine is just getting started.

Erin Farnsworth

Erin Farnsworth grew up in Sandy, Utah where both her parents were artists. “They taught me a lot as I got older and as I became interested in art at an early age," she commented. By the time she was in sixth grade, she showed an interest and inclination toward art so her parents taught her how to do things like draw correct face and head proportions.

Farnsworth attended Brighton High School where her mother taught ceramics and sculpture. After graduating from high school, she attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah where she earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in painting. After that, she moved to the Washington, D.C. area where she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree in painting from The George Washington University.

“In the past, my work has been inspired by many different things. My current body of work consists of portraits of the rising generation, and so my inspiration for the paintings I am doing now is the exemplary young people around me,” said Farnsworth. “I like a lot of different art, but I definitely lean toward realism and I always have, whether it is a landscape, a still-life or a portrait or figure.

Farnsworth enjoys working with all kinds of mediums, especially drawing, watercolor and oil painting as well as three-dimensional work. While she doesn’t particularly like painting with acrylics, she will on occasion use them while doing a craft project with her children.

Working part-time hours most weeks on her art, while her youngest is still in kindergarten, Farnsworth will occasionally work more than full-time hours when she has a big deadline; however, she looks forward to devoting more time to her work and business next school year.

Once a piece is finished, Farnsworth has it framed and usually ships off to 'do the rounds' in a few exhibition shows. Doing life-size portrait paintings often takes several months; this means that the painting needs to get some publicity mileage before it joins her home gallery or selling it to a collector.

During art week at Mountain Green Middle School, in April, Linnea Wheeler volunteered to come up with a fun art-related project for the students to participate in. Farnsworth said she would be happy to help with it. She thought up the fun idea of doing a collaborative mural, which is

when different people complete parts of one picture. Wheeler, organized the supplies and additional help for the project while Farnsworth drew an outlined mural on a large board and then again on individual 4x4 inch tiles that the middle school kids were

able to color in. The result was a very lively mural that showcased many of the images unique to MGMS.

Farnsworth and her husband have five children she says who are very supportive of her art career and “the other random things I do!”

Boys soccer claims second place at State

By Liisa London Mecham

In the final two games of the season, the MHS boys’ soccer team played the top two teams in 3A in the semifinal and championship matches. In the semis, they took down the #1 seeded Ogden Tigers, a team they hadn’t beaten since 2008, advancing with a 1-1 win on penalty kicks.

In the finals, against the #2 seed, Juan Diego, Morgan played exceptionally well but fell 0-1 to the Soaring Eagle.

In the semifinal game, Morgan faced Ogden, their Region 13 foe, to whom they had lost two times this season. But Morgan would not be denied a third time. After regulation, two overtimes and five penalty kicks, the Trojans finally emerged victorious 1(6)-1(5) on PKs. Jett Beckstrom scored the lone goal for Morgan, and Brayden Howe and Garrett Henderson split goalie duties with Henderson in the goal for the second half and penalty kicks.

In the championship game, the Trojans took on the Juan Diego Soaring Eagle. In a hard-fought defensive matchup, Morgan fell just short 0-1 as Juan Diego’s Hauroa Morgant, a senior from Tahiti who broke the Utah record for most goals scored in a season by a single player, scored the only goal of the game late in the first half. Morgant finished the season with 45 goals surpassing the old record of 43 set in 2014.

In the second half, both teams played hard defensively and stymied the offensive efforts of each other. Unable to score, Morgan fell 0-1 and took their seventh loss on the season.

With an 11-7 overall record and 5-3 Region 13 record, the Trojans learned a lot from each game and improved every time they played. Their thrilling victory over Odgen in their third matchup of the season points to the ability of the team to learn and adjust. Morgan bettered their #4 seed and came very close to bringing home Morgan’s first ever boys’ soccer title.

Congratulations to the Morgan High Trojans on their excellent soccer season!l

TITLE from page 1

“One of my biggest memories will be giving my mom a big hug as she has been a huge part of my golf career and has always been my biggest fan. I am just so excited for our team to win the first Team Title in school history!””

DeMond’s mom is Kacey DeMond, assistant coach for the Trojans. She agreed with all of her daughter’s sentiments. “Over the past few years I have watched our seniors grow and become very strong players. I have become close to these girls and are proud of what they have accomplished. I have watched them become more resilient and mentally strong. They have learned lessons that will benefit them throughout their lives about commitment and challenges and the rewards of hard work. I am going to miss this senior class, they are a special group of girls.”

Snow, who was in third place after Day 1, improved to second after the second round when she shot a +2. She finished seven over to earn silver medalist honors.

“As I walked up to the green on the 18th hole, all of my nerves started to kick in. I looked over and saw all of my team sitting by the green cheering me on, but I didn’t know how my team was doing. When I knocked down my last putt I felt a huge sense of relief come over me. I couldn’t stop smiling as I walked off the green with my teammates hugging me and knowing that I had just shot my best score ever. Winning state was a feeling I cannot describe. It is so reward -

ing knowing that my team worked so hard this year and put so many hours in on the course to make this dream become!” Snow remarked.

Morgan’s junior Camden Smith, sophomore Jane Poll and senior Kia Christiansen tied for 19th place overall. Freshman Kenadee Benson, the final golfer, finished tied for 29th. Christiansen was Morgan’s third place golfer both days, and two different scores were used for the fourth golfer.

“The first day, we used Camden’s score in our scoring,” Assistant Coach Kacey DeMond explained. “It was her best score ever! The second day, our fourth score was Jane Poll; it was her lowest ever! We had a lot of PRs at State!”

Girls’ golf has been sanctioned by the Utah High School Activities Association since 2008. In high school golf, six golfers compete and the top four scores are combined for the team total. Every score counts, and each stroke is important to the overall team score. “Every member of our team worked together to achieve this championship,” Kacey DeMond shared. “It’s so great to bring home our first championship!” l

MES TEACHER SPOTLIGHTS Brittany Budd

By Verlene Johnson

Brittany Budd grew up in Thermopolis, Wyoming where she attended Hot Springs County High School. After graduation, she attended Casper College in Casper, Wyoming and the University of Wyoming in Laramie. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education and a Master of Arts in Science Education.

Budd began her teaching career, 17 years ago, teaching fifth and sixth grade at Lyman Intermediate School in Lyman, Wyoming. After teaching there for eight years, she then taught fourth grade at Uinta Meadows Elementary in Evanston, Wyoming for two years. For the past six years, Budd has been teaching fourth grade at Morgan Elementary School. “I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching all the fourth-grade Science,” she said.

“I love children and I’ve always wanted to help them become successful members of society,” commented Budd. Being a fourth-generation teacher she said, “Teaching is in my blood.” She also said, “I love when students ask questions and are inspired to learn and find answers outside the classroom.”

LDS author speaks to SUP

OnMonday the Morgan Chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers held their monthly luncheon. This will be the last gathering until September for the summer break. Present at the meeting were both of the 2023 High School Scholarship recipients and their parents. This year there were 14 applicants for the two $1000 scholarships. Each applicant submits the standard High School Scholarship Application and a short essay required by the SUP. Final recipients are then selected by a consensus of both the SUP and the High School Scholarship committees, this year’s recipients were Alyssa White, daughter of Chad and Mchelle White and Leineta Mafi daughter of Siosefa and Shana Mafi. We congratulate these young ladies and wish them the best in their future educational pursuits

The feature presenter at the luncheon was educator and author Ron L. Andersen. Brother Andersen has worked his entire career with the LDS Church in personal and career development in the U.S. and Latin America. He is the author of four books on the remarkable faith and righteousness of Abraham Lincoln and of his connections with the early Mormon Church and is a regular speaker at BYU Education Week on these topics. He recently served on the Young Men General Board for the Church. He and his wife Kathleen served a mission at BYU Hawaii. Ron is currently the President of the Bountiful Chapter of the Sons of

Utah Pioneers.

He discussed the possible relationship between the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints and President Abraham Lincoln. President Lincoln believed in a higher power and the existence and need for personal revelation to make difficult decisions as president of the United States. Senator and Apostle of the Church, Reed Smoot, would address the U.S. Senate in 1927 and state that President Lincoln’s faith in God made him a guide, prophet and seer. Although President Lincoln would never align with a single religion he said he never stopped believing in God, the scriptures and prayed for daily guidance. l

Morgan High Track Teams Take Region!

8 in a row for boys, 5 in a row for girls

By Liisa London Mecham

Morgan hosted the Region 13 Track Championships last week, and Morgan came away with both the boys’

and girls’ titles! Both teams continued their dominance in Region 13. The boys claimed their 8th straight title–a streak that started in 2015–and the girls added their fifth consecutive championship–a streak beginning in 2018 (No track was

held the spring of 2020 due to Covid).

Coach Brennen Fuller shared, “I’m so proud of these kids. They have bought into the culture and competed for a bigger purpose!”

All athletes with qualifying times and

those who placed in the top four at the Region 13 Championships will compete at the 3A State Track Championships at BYU May 19-20, 2023. l

Not even one month after her jawdropping, pink-clad appearance at the Met Gala in New York City, “White Lotus” star Sydney Sweeney is back at it again. Now dressing down a bit more for HBO, Sweeney stars as former U.S. Air Force member and National Security Agency translator Reality Winner in “Reality.” Premiering Monday, May 29, on the specialty channel and its (newly rolled out) Max streaming service, the film tells the incredible true story of Winner’s part in Russian interference during the United States’ 2016 election. After having pleaded guilty in June 2018, Winner was sentenced to 63 months in prison, the longest anyone has been incarcerated for releasing government information to the media.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Zachary Levi stars as Shazam in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” airing Saturday, May 27, on HBO. The film begins as a vengeful trio of ancient gods arrives on Earth, searching for a magic power stolen from them long ago. When they do, it’s up to kid-turned-grownup superhero Shazam to gather his allies and fight to save the world.

Offscreen, however, Sweeney is much less felonious. Born Sept. 12, 1997, in Spokane, Washington, Sweeney shares her acting chops with her younger brother, Trent Sweeney (“Norman,” 2010). Raised in a relatively “religious family” with traditional values, Sweeney’s childhood was filled with sports — including soccer, baseball, slalom skiing and wakeboarding — and an interest in learning languages. With all these interests, it’s no wonder Sweeney chose a career in which she could do a little bit of everything.

In fact, when she had decided to pursue acting as a career, Sweeney put together a five-year business plan to convince her parents to let her enter the industry. Now several years later, it appears the plan has more than paid off.
