Display in library captures essence of Utah women past and present

By Olivia Rees

Ascommunity members visit the Morgan County Library, a new sight awaits them! A display of Martha Hughes Cannon is stretched across the entrance of the library giving everyone an opportunity to appreciate and learn about this influential woman who was a skilled physician, ardent suffragist, progressive public health reformer, and most notably, the first female state senator in the United States.

Born in Wales, Cannon immigrated to Utah with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As information provided by Better Days tells us, she was deeply impacted by the deaths of her baby sister and father which led to her aspiration to become a medical doctor at a time when women rarely even pursued secondary education. In response to Brigham Young’s encouragement for women to enter the medical field, she enrolled in the University of Deseret, now the University of Utah, at age 16 to fulfill the pre-med requirements. Cannon then went on to earn her medical degree from the University of Michigan and a pharmaceutical degree from the University of Pennsylvania where she was the only female student in that program. During those years, she also became heavily involved in the

MHS student prepares for future with an internship at Weber County Sheriffs' office

By Verlene Johnson

Senior year of high school can bring opportunities to prepare students for their future careers. This was the case for recent Morgan High School Graduate, Harrison Farmer.

For the first time at MHS a criminal justice class was offered during the second trimester of the 2022/2023 school year. Taught by social studies teacher, Kari Raeburn, Harrison was excited to take the class since that was the field he planned to go into.

After talking to Raeburn about an opportunity at the Salt Lake State prison as an intern, Harrison decided the commute didn’t financially make sense. The two then discussed some connections that Raeburn had with the Weber County Sheriff's Office.

After touring the prison and learning about the different areas in the sheriffs' office, Harrison started an internship during the third trimester of school, with the Weber County Sheriff's office.

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays his fifth and sixth-hour classes became a time for him to leave campus and work as an intern with the sheriff's office. He worked in every possible area that he could, starting in the corrections area. While working in booking, he interacted with people who had just been arrested. He said he was impressed with the level of respect suspects were shown as they went through the booking process.

Harrison was able to go with school resource officers to one of the high schools in the county. While there, he learned how officers need to look at the whole situation they are involved in.

Former President Trump arraigned in Florida

For the second time this year, former president Donald Trump has been indicted. This time, however, the indictment is on federal charges. As Trump is the first president in U.S. history to face federal charges, the path forward contains a lot of unknowns. Reports are that he plans to plead not guilty, which will presumably lead to an eventual trial. That trial is not likely to be scheduled until after the trial resulting from his first indictment in New York is completed. It is possible that such a schedule would place the federal trial too close to the 2024 election to be scheduled.

‘Unabomber’ Ted Kaczynski dies at 81

Theodore Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, killed at least three people and injured dozens during a bombing spree that spanned the 20 years from 1975 to 1995. Famous as an anti-technology hermit whose “manifesto” laid out his views on how modern advances were leading to global destruction, Kaczynski managed to elude law enforcement for decades, leaving taunting notes along the way. Eventually, relatives recognized some of the language in these notes as his, and turned him in. He avoided the death penalty by pleading guilty in 1998 and was remanded to the Supermax prison in Florence, Colorado. He was discovered unresponsive in his cell and pronounced dead shortly thereafter. His death has been ruled a suicide.

Gas prices rising – again

Last year’s inflation-led high gas prices are returning across the country, with Idaho currently seeing some of the highest average prices in the west. The summer driving season is often marked by rising prices, but rising oil prices are being blamed for the recent spike. On average, the price of a gallon of regular has increased 21 cents from this time last month across the country. After the momentary relief of lower prices in recent months, many are dreading the potential for another painful driving season.

Denver Nuggets win NBA title

The powerhouse Denver Nuggets defeated the Miami Heat 94-89 in Denver to claim the first title in franchise history in Game 5. Despite a poor shooting performance early, the Nuggets rallied to a frantic finish to avoid extending the series. The victory was marred by violence, however, as a shooting within a mile of the arena injured at least nine people, three of them critically. Police have not determined whether the shooting was related to the celebration that filled downtown streets, but it is a stark reminder of the frequency of such incidents.

Father’s Day

By Verlene Johnson

Sonora Smart Dodd was raised, along with her five brothers, by her widowed father William Smart. After sitting through a church service on Mother’s Day in 1909 Dodd came up with the idea to have a day to honor fathers. Over the next few months, she was able to convince the Spokane Ministerial Association, along with the YMCA to set aside a Sunday in June to celebrate fathers. She proposed June 5, her father’s birthday, but the ministers thought it was too close to Mother’s Day, so they picked the third Sunday in June so they would have more time to prepare their sermons. On June 19, 1910, the first Father’s Day was celebrated in Spokane Washington.

Father’s Day took a lot longer to catch on than Mother’s Day. One historian writes, they “scoffed at the holiday’s sentimental attempts to domesticate manliness with flowers and gift-giving, or they derided the proliferation of such holidays as a commercial gimmick to sell more products–often paid for by the father himself.” In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge signed a resolution in favor of Father’s Day “to establish more intimate relations between fathers and their children and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” In the 20s and 30s there was an effort to combine both Mother’s Day and Father’s Day into one holiday and call it Parent’s Day. The effort was derailed by the Great Depression. When World War II began,

many argued that celebrating Father’s Day would be a way to honor American troops and support the war effort. By the end of the war, Father’s Day while still not a federal holiday had become a national institution.

In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed an executive order that the holiday be celebrated on the third Sunday in June. Finally in 1972, Congress passed an act officially making Father’s Day a national holiday.

Most Americans celebrate Father’s Day with a family gathering, having picnics and BBQ’s. Convenience stores from Old Farm Market in Mountain Green to Hinds in Peterson to Nebco, and 7-11 in Morgan are ready with a supply of treats and gift cards for dads. Local restaurants such as Grounds for Coffee, The Post, Taggart’s Grill, Morgan Cafe, Stoddard Inn, Phoenix house and Subway will be open on Sunday to treat your Father to a meal out locally. If you are looking to take dad out on Saturday, some local options are River Burger, Deb’s Spicy Pie, Smokin’ Boxcar, and Larry’s To-Go. l

He commented that some of his favorite days were when he was able to go out on patrol; from anything to medical emergencies to fires.

“If you ever want a job that you wake up and you never know what’s going to happen, being a patrol officer is the right job for you,” commented Harrison.

When Governor Cox visited MHS in April, Harrison had the opportunity to talk with the governor about his future plans in law enforcement. Governor Cox responded with, “Man, we

really need good officers today. That’s awesome!”

Now that he has graduated from high school, Harrison plans to attend Weber State University to study Criminal Justice and Political Science with plans to go into the career field of Law Enforcement focusing on Patrol, Traffic, and Narcotics. To help with the cost of higher education, Harrison received a Scholarship from the Utah Sheriff’s Association. “I had to be going into a field similar to law enforcement and I had to write a couple of different pages on why I would want it and the way I would change Law Enforcement today,” he stated. l

women’s rights movement.

A busy lady, Cannon split her time between being a doctor, mother, influential speaker, advocate, and more. When the Utah constitutional convention approved including women’s suffrage in the new state constitution in 1895, Cannon was the first woman in Salt Lake City to register to vote. The territorial court, however, ultimately determined that women could not vote in that pre-statehood election to ratify the constitution and elect the new state’s first legislature. The next year, in the first Utah election that permitted women to vote and run for office, Cannon ran as a Democrat in an at-large election for one of five state senate positions. Cannon’s husband and Emmeline B. Wells were also on the ballot as Republican candidates. The Democratic-leaning Salt Lake Herald endorsed Cannon rather than her Republican husband, stating that she was “the better man of the two.” When the election results were counted, the Democrats swept the election and Cannon’s victory garnered national attention.

“We are proud that the first female US Senator was from Utah. Utah women have a great history of working to make their communities stronger, and Dr. Cannon would fit right in with the amazing women we see in Morgan County today,” commented Morgan County Library Director Erin Bott.

“Here at the library, it is our mission to provide Morgan County residents with access to materials and resources to meet their educational and personal enrichment needs. The beautiful display of Martha Hughes Cannon fits that mission perfectly, by allowing visitors to admire the statue while learning more about a fascinating figure from history. We invite everyone to stop into the library and meet Martha!”

“At Better Days,” explained Better

Days Executive Director Katherine Kitterman, “We created the Martha Hughes Cannon traveling exhibit in March 2022 to build up to Martha’s eventual send off to DC.”

In 2018, the Utah State Legislature voted to send a statue of Dr. Cannon to represent Utah in National Statuary Hall in Washington, DC. The statue was sculpted by local artist Ben Hammond and completed in 2020; however, because of Covid, the 125th Anniversary

of the first Utah Women’s election to public office in the United States and the dedication of the statue in DC was halted. Until then, Utahns can visit the full-sized statue in the Utah State Capitol Rotunda, right outside the Supreme Court chamber doors until the end of the summer when it will be headed to the nation’s capital. “Every state has two statues in the collection and when Martha is installed,” enthused Kitterman, “she will be just the 13th woman in the hundred statue collection!”

With such a positive response from the community, the duration of the display at the library was able to be extended from two to four weeks, which will be through June 29. “Morgan Historical Society and Morgan County Library were happy to have the opportunity to have this display brought to our community,” said Morgan County Historian Cindy Kay. “We hope that people will take the time to come and check out all of these women who changed all of our lives for the better. We also hope they bring their children and teenagers to help them learn. There are two displays, one in the front foyer of the library and one inside the library. Few communities in Utah will have this opportunity. We are grateful to have this display come right to our community. When we can learn about our history I think we become better leaders and make our world better for the future.” l

No more flooding expected in Morgan County, Emergency Manager says

By Linda Petersen

After several tense weeks, Morgan County Emergency Manager Austin Turner finally had some good news for the county commission: major flooding in Morgan County appears to have been averted.

“Thanks to our cooler temperatures we’ve enjoyed for the last month and a little bit the snow has melted gradually, and the high water in a lot of our local streams like Hard Scrabble, Deep Creek and a lot of those has started to come down,” he told commissioners June 6. Turner gave a report on the status of area reservoirs: East Canyon Reservoir is at 96 percent full; it has 2.9 feet to go before it reaches the spillways. Since Turner last reported to the commission on May 16 it gained .4 feet. Despite the gain, the reservoir is not anticipated to flood, he said.

“The waters coming in up above are under what the stream capacity is below

so even if it does overtop we will still be in good shape,” Commissioner Jared Anderson commented.

With the other reservoirs, Echo has 8.2 feet to go before the spillways; it gained 1.2 feet. Rockport has 22.6 feet to go; it gained 2.3 feet, Turner said.

“Jordanelle is 97 percent full so all that water they were taking across the Kamas canal they are no longer taking,” Turner said. “It went from 800 cubic feet per second down to this morning, when it was 141 cubic feet per second.

Turner said he anticipated a significant gain in Rockport and Echo over the coming week but that those waters could be contained. “When the reservoirs spill at this point all the waterways can handle it easily,” he said. “So, we’re going to be shifting gears from a response to a recovery mode.”

The state Division of Emergency Management is gathering data to determine if there is enough documentation to get a federal declaration of emergency, Turner said. If that funding

is approved, he hopes to receive some additional state mitigation money to improve the capacity of culverts that failed during recent flooding.

“We still have a few issues that we’re trying to get some numbers on,” he said, reporting that the road at Lost Creek Reservoir, a county road, has washed out. “Hopefully we can get some FEMA money to have them help us with that.”

Turner expressed appreciation for all the help that he and his crews had received. “There’s been a lot of people respond out and a lot of people willing to help in a lot of different areas in this community,” he said. “There was a lot of organizations, a lot of volunteer hours have been spent on the county’s behalf and the public’s behalf.”

He also expressed appreciation for Weber Basin Water Conservation District officials who, he said, had kept in regular contact with him. “The last time we had significant flooding in Morgan in 2011 there wasn’t that working rela-

tionship that we have now,” he said.

While there is still a lot of snow in the mountains, “it’s going to take some time for it to come out especially at these temperatures,” Turner said. “The chance of us having any flooding issues is greatly minimal or lesser now than they have been.”

Remaining snow melts it should do so gradually, Turner said. “There will be plenty enough to fill the reservoirs to the point where it comes over the spillway in a very easy manner that we don’t have to worry about at this point.”

To ensure that there are no unforeseen effects from this season’s snowpack Turner asked the county commission to extend the state of emergency which expires June 21, into August. The commission is expected to do so at its next meeting. l

MORGAN COUNTY FIRE & EMS

Maintenance is an important part of what firefighters do to make sure they are ready to respond in an emergency. Fire apparatus is expertly maintained by Apparatus Equipment and Service (AES) out of South SLC. Last week they came out to do the annual pump test on the Engine and Ladder, and the big Aerial Ladder test on Ladder131.

No

injuries in rollover on I-84

Mountain Green Engine 131 and Morgan Fire & EMS Ambulance 121 responded to a rollover last week on I-84 near the Westbound rest area. No injuries, the driver was checked, and E131’s crew checked the vehicle for HazMat.

Motorcyclist collides with guardrail

Earlier this week Morgan Fire and EMS responded to a Traffic accident near East Canyon Dam on Hwy 66. The road is long with several tight turns and a hotspot for motorcycle enthusiasts. As these three riders (new to the area) came upon a tight turn, one rider was unable to negotiate the turn and collided with a guardrail. The rider was wearing a helmet and treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

Former train station to open as visitor center in Morgan

By Linda Petersen

Morgan County officials have given the go-ahead for the Morgan County Historical Society to relocate to the newly refurbished train station on Commercial St. in Morgan. With this move, the former station will reopen as a small county visitor center and gift shop which will be open at least three hours a day, five days a week. It will be staffed by Morgan County Historian Cindy Kay.

In recent months Morgan City has spent $250,000, ($70,000 of which was a state grant) to renovate the former train station and make it ADA compliant, Morgan City Manager Ty Bailey told the Morgan County Commission June 6. Offering it as the new home for the historical society, “we just felt like this is the highest and best use of the facility versus other community groups,”

he said.

The state grant covers any rent owed by the historical society for five years, Bailey said.

Although the historical society will move from larger digs at the Morgan County Library, “I think the improved visibility and the traffic that they will get in that building will make that a worthwhile sacrifice,” Library Director Erin Bott said. With the work the historical society has been doing in recent years, having it staff a visitor center is a good fit, she said.

Along with covering the rent the grant will pay for a limited amount of souvenir-type merchandise to be sold at the gift shop, Bailey said. The proceeds will go back into maintaining the building.

The commissioners expressed support for the project.

“The facility would be occupied by the historical society in a place

where people can come and learn about Morgan County history but also be a tourism center, a welcome center so to speak, where people can come and gather information about what's going on in the county and where they can go to spend their money and who they can contact if they want to go water skiing or horseback riding,” Commission Chair Mike Newton said.

Having the visitor center enhances the historic district designation that Morgan City has received, he said.

“There's a lot of folks who travel the interstate system and they'll see a sign saying there's a historic district; they'll get off the freeway because they see that sign,” he said “So this would give people a place to stop hopefully learn not only a little bit about Morgan County history but also what they can do in Morgan County and maybe stop and get a bite to eat on Commercial Street while they're the center.”

Bott said she expected the historical society would also benefit from the exposure.

“I think it will do wonderful things for the historical society, improving their visibility and their capacity, their ability to serve the community more,” she said. “I do have concerns about what will happen in five years, but we will cross that bridge when we come to it because I think the benefits in the meantime make it work the risk.”

Bailey indicated that if needed, after the first five years, the city, which owns the building, would lease it to the historical society at $1,500/month. The lease has an effective date of July 1. Morgan City will now build out the inside of the train station to accommodate a historical society office and a gift shop. It is expected to be operational later this summer. l

WHAT TO WATCH

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

Elemental (in theaters)

It might not be love at first sight, but there are plenty of reasons to fall for “Elemental.”

Far from the “Zootopia”-with-a-twist cash grab some people initially feared it was, “Elemental” has its own stories to tell. It’s a sweet, warm-hearted cross-cultural romance, formulaic but full of great chemistry. It’s also a classic child-of-immigrants story, full of love, obligation, and the weight of starting your life over again. Add in some fun world-building in the Fire District, and you have a movie that grows on you like a little flame.

The movie starts with a classic immigrant journey, the first fire couple to settle in Element City. The Fire District ends up growing around their shop, which their only daughter Ember is set to inherit. When a series of accidents leads to a run-in with someone new, however, Ember has to decide whether to stay with the warm glow of tradition or blaze her own trail.

The immigrant part of the story gets the most

loving detail, which means fire culture is the most beautifully realized. It’s clear from every moment that director Peter Sohn is telling his own family’s story, and anyone with a similar story will feel the love put into it.

The other element cultures don’t get as much attention as fire, with water the only other one to get any real elaboration. They’re clearly the white people of the movie, an affectionate parody that has the highly emotional water people constantly crying about their feelings. The differences between the cultures propel a lot of the story, and the results feel very organic and acknowledge both sides.

The real charm of the story lies in the relationship between Ember and her water guy, Wade. The two don’t like each other at first, but they slowly evolve a wonderful interplay with each other. You can see why they keep being drawn to each other, despite their differences, but the things keeping them apart are also very real. Watching it all, you can’t help but root for them to be together.

Just like it’s hard not to root for this movie.

Grade: Three stars

The Flash (in theaters)

I would have liked “The Flash” better if it hadn’t come out the same month as “Across the Spider-Verse.”

The movie, which has been in development for several years, tackles a lot of the same concepts as the new “Spider-Verse” but in a much less interesting, original way. It’s also less cohesive, feeling more like two movies awkwardly duct-taped together than a single coherent film. Add on an unexpectedly mean-spirited ending, and you’re left with a movie that stumbles when it should speed ahead.

Which is tragic, because parts of the movie are delightful. Somewhere in the middle of “The Flash” is the superhero buddy comedy I’ve wanted to see for years, and Ezra Miller is charming and oddly sweet as both versions of Barry. Add in the welcome return of Michael Keaton as a mature, nuanced Bruce Wayne, and you have a fantasy team-up that will exist forever in my heart.

I just wish the rest of the movie deserved them.

Grade: Two stars

Morgan County Junior Livestock

By Ethan Hoffmann

Each spring, Morgan County Junior Livestock holds an annual show to allow the local and surrounding youth to show their animals. Not only is this a great opportunity to interest potential buyers, but it gives them the chance to put their hard work and skills on display.

The Junior Livestock show began as a requirement for exhibitor's animals to qualify for the sale at the Morgan County Fair in August. ‘‘It has been a huge success in helping the kids grow and learn with their animals." said Leslie Shupe, one of the organization's advisors.

Kaycee Vollmar was the judge this year and she really tested the showmanship skills of the youth in Morgan. Vollmar took extra time with each participant in the show stating that “it's really important that these kids learn something from me because it's down the road that they are going to be making a difference. They are the future of our industry and I think that there is a lack of good in the world in general. I think that there is no better place than to be raised in a barn and the lessons that we get to learn from these livestock and getting to work with our families. These agriculture teachers truly shape our lives. It's not always about the banners and the buckles but it's the lessons you learned."

All the youth from Morgan will advance on to show and sell their animals at the Morgan County Jr Livestock Show and Sale on Aug. 2-5 at the Morgan County Fairgrounds.

EDUCATION

MCSD hires Principal Crae Wilson to replace Andy Jensen as Human Resource Director

By Verlene Johnson

After being principal at Morgan High School for seven years, Crae Wilson is taking a position at the district as Director of Human Resources and Student Services, coordinating and streamlining benefits, hiring, and other services. Wilson is only the second person to hold this position in the district, succeeding Andy Jensen, who after a year as Human Resource director was appointed as the new superintend of Morgan County School District.

Wilson has a Bachelor of Academic Studies with a focus on Zoology and Business, a master's degree in Education: Organizational Leadership and will have his Doctorate in Education: Focus on Student Engagement and Emotional Intelligence in the fall. Teaching a wide variety of subjects in his educational career, Wilson taught seminary, social studies, American History, World History, Geography, Political Science, US Government, Economics, Business, Spanish, Computers, Entrepreneurship, Biology, and directing Choir. in the Gila Valley, Arizona for 10 years.

“I found a deep love and passion for helping, lifting, supporting, and teaching young people,” Wilson said. “I also enjoy learning from young people as we work together to develop meaningful relationships that change the world. Wilson said what he loves about teaching is connecting with people and helping them in any way that he can.

“I also love learning principles that are unchanging and benefit society through collaboration with others and the integration of ideas.”

In August of 2008, Wilson started his administration career as assistant principal at Gila Preparatory Academy in Safford Arizona, with students ranging from seventh through 12th grade.

“I never wanted to be a principal when I was a teacher,” said Wilson. “I loved hanging out, learning from, and offering support to my wonderful students.” During his time as a teacher, Wilson was asked to help with administrative duties and began to see the joy and happiness that could be brought by helping teachers and developing organizations that were powerfully effective in reaching students.

In 2010 he took the position as principal at the same Preparatory Academy.

Then in 2013, Wilson was hired as the head principal of Pima High School in Pima Arizona. “Once I began to have more experience in administration, I fell in love with it and gradually moved out of teaching completely. “At times it can be quite difficult, but it is very rewarding and well worth the challenges as we see student and teacher outcomes while connecting with parents and the community.”

In February 2016 Wilson, after receiving offers from three different schools in Utah, he made the decision to take the position of Head Administrator at Morgan High School. “I absolutely fell in love with Morgan and its wonderful community and made the best decision,” said Wilson. “The students have been driven, committed, friendly and kind, service-oriented, and well-behaved. it has truly been a terrific experience.”

“I am making the switch because I have learned the importance, over these last 15 years in administration, of helping support teachers and staff in a school organization so that their jobs can be more efficient, effective, and enjoyable,” said Wilson of his new position.

Wilson was the president of the corporation that ran Gila Preparatory Academy and has extensive business/ employee experience through restaurant ownership giving him the knowledge needed to assist MSD employees in multiple areas. “I feel that I can contribute in ways that I haven’t been able to before.” l

“ I had water in my basement from the deluge that occurred in Salt Lake on Aug 18. Robert responded to my call within a few hours and Mark arrived that evening with fans, a dehumidifi er and advice. I knew it was a really busy day for them, so I was pleasantly surprised that they were able to get to me that day. Mark was great about keeping me informed about his schedule for follow-up appointments to check for moisture and collect equipment, and he gave me some good contacts for follow-up.

While

Hollywood heartthrob

Idris

Elba

denies any truth to the rumors of him being cast as the next James Bond, that doesn’t mean he can’t save the world in other onscreen projects. Elba stars as leading man Sam Nelson in the new Apple TV+ series “Hijack,” premiering Wednesday, June 28.

When flight KA29 from London to Dubai is hijacked during its seven-hour trip, the passengers begin to panic and authorities on the ground are left to scramble for answers to the increasingly dangerous situation. An “accomplished negotiator in the business world” (per Apple TV+), Nelson needs to put all his skills and grit to the test to save lives. Sadly, “his high-risk strategy could be his undoing.”

The seven-episode thriller series also stars Mohamed Elsandel (“Hireth,” 2021), Kate Phillips (“Peaky Blinders”), Archie Panjabi (“The Good Wife”), Ben Miles (“The Crown”) and Max Beesley (“Bodies”).

Born Idrissa Akuna Elba on Sept. 6, 1972, in London, England, Elba grew up as the only child of Winston, a Ford worker from Sierra Leone, and Eve, a clerical worker from Ghana. Following a fairly average childhood and an education in Canning Town, Elba gained entry to the National Youth Music Theatre, thanks to a grant from The Prince’s Trust. Little did he know at the time, that would be the beginning of a long and lucrative career in showbiz.

Elba first got his start in the mid’90s, starring in episodes of “2Point4 Children,” “Space Precinct,” “Absolutely Fabulous,” “The Governor,” “Family Affairs,” “Dangerfield” and more. While focused on British projects in the beginning, Elba’s career opened up to the United States in 2001 with a single episode of the original “Law & Order” series. Beginning in 2002, Elba starred in his breakout American TV role, Russell “Stringer” Bell in HBO’s “The Wire.”
