Lori Vallow Daybell sentencing Monday

Lori Vallow Daybell, has been at the center of national headlines ever since the deaths of two of her children. In May, an Ada County jury convicted Lori of three counts of conspiracy to commit murder, two counts of first-degree murder, and grand theft, all related to the deaths of her two children, J.J. Vallow and Tylee Ryan as well as the death of Tammy Daybell. The maximum sentencing guidelines allow for life sentences for each conspiracy and murder charge, as well as up to 20 years for grand theft related to financial fraud. Vallow Daybell was ultimately sentenced to three consecutive life sentences without the possibility of parole for murder, and separate life sentences for conspiracy, as well as ten years for grand theft. She will also be tried for murder in Arizona at some point in the future.

Human remains found at Bear Lake

Human remains have reportedly been discovered on the shore of Bear Lake in Idaho. According to a news release from the Bear Lake County Sheriff's Office, deputies received a call around 11:42 a.m. Thursday from people who were visiting the shore of the lake. The callers had been digging in the sand while attempting to build a sandcastle and "uncovered what they believed to be human bones," according to the release. An initial investigation by deputies found that the bones were indeed human. The Bear Lake County Sheriff's office said it is coordinating with the Idaho State University Anthropology department to examine the site and recover any other remains. Bear Lake and surrounding counties have stated that there are not any current cold cases they believe to be connected to the find.

Paul Reubens dies at 70 Comedian and actor Paul Reubens, most famous for his portrayal of the character Pee-Wee Herman, has passed away at the age of 70. Reubens was an icon of the 1980s, especially following the release of the 1985’s classic film “Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.” The actor reprised the role a number of times since then in films and televised specials, but also acted in a wide range of comic and dramatic roles outside his work as the famous character. He had reportedly been fighting cancer for a number of years.

MOUNTAIN GREEN FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT REPORT

On Saturday, July 29, volunteer firefighters responded to a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm call at a closed business on Industrial Road near the airport. Usually these calls are for a malfunctioning detector, but upon entering the structure, our gas detection equipment immediately went into alarm, which required us to withdraw and don full gear and Self Contained Breathing Apparatus to further investigate. A combination of factors had caused the alarm, but their alarm was confirmed to have detected CO. Colorless, odorless and tasteless, Carbon Monoxide can make you very sick or in high enough concentrations, kill you, so we treat these alarms very seriously. We took corrective action to mitigate the threat, including shutting down the source (automotive battery charger) and making sure another vehicle was not started indoors, which we believe caused the alarm. We then checked the adjacent attached businesses for CO, ventilated the structure with our power blower, and assisted the building occupant in returning to normal. A busy few days for your firefighters!

On Friday, July 31, after running an EMS call for a very ill person, our Day Crew firefighters took time to take in a glass of lemonade at a local stand, in answer to our Morgan County Sheriff’s Office Lemonade Stand Challenge.

August began early for our volunteer firefighters with this rollover on the first at 1:30 a.m. on westbound I-84 near the MM94 rest area. The young driver lost control and left the road. It took a bit of detective work to find him, as he had self-extricated and was picked up by a nearby Lamb Drive landowner in their Razor and taken to a house where he was finally found and treated by our crew. He suffered minor injuries and was transported to the hospital by his girlfriend for further evaluation (It is always a good idea to get further checked after a high-speed collision, we carry no X-ray equipment.)

Also on Tuesday, lightning struck a power pole at a Rocky Mountain Power Hydroelectric facility in Weber Canyon at about 6 PM tonight, near the Eastbound Weber Canyon rest area. The ensuing fire burned through the pole and caused a transformer to fall and set the 100-year-old spillway control house ablaze. Fire crews were helpless to approach the building fire due to live electric wires and equipment on fire and threatening to fall on firefight-

ers. Thunderstorms in the area caused Rocky Mountain Power to be delayed in arriving at the scene. Access was further hampered by the location of the structure five feet from the UP Railroad right-of-way. Mountain Green firefighters arrived and awaited the arrival of the power company, but when the pole broke and rained flaming debris on the house and grass, additional firefighters were summoned from Morgan County Fire & EMS, Weber Fire District, and South Weber Fire Department, along with Utah DNR Fire Warden David Vickers. Water had to be lobbed from a great distance onto the fire, due to its inaccessible and possibly electrified location. Wires were threatening to drop onto the metal bridge of the dam, or electrify the metal fence that encircles the facility. No fire hydrants in the area meant water had to be “drafted” from the river which is a difficult operation requiring an engine to get very close to the river without sinking in the mud. A very challenging evening, waiting for arrival of the power company to shut power to allow us to commence fire attack, while maintaining extreme vigilance against Wildland fires popping up in the Canyon from embers. There were no injuries, the building was a total loss, and a Rocky Mountain Power representative reported that the entire facility was actually due to be replaced in several months anyway. Our sincere thanks to all agencies who responded and especially to our “silent partner” in all our responses, Weber 911 Dispatch, our guardian angels who watch over our safety, maintaining communications with command and summoning resources instantly at our request. Units cleared in about six hours.

ATV Rodeo

The 2023 ATV Rodeo was moved to Saturday, July 29 for the first time. A big part of the schedule change was the need for the mud pit in the arena to dry out. The mud pit is used for crowd-favorites the Hide Race and golf ball challenge. Events at the ATV rodeo (Ages 13+) include the Barrels, Flag Race, Hangman and Hide Race. The Youth Division (12 and under) includes Barrels, Flag Race and Poles. Motorcycles or ATVs can be used for all of the events, but the Hide Race. It is ATV only and limited to age 16 and older.

RIDERS PARTICIPATE IN the Barrel Race at the ATV Rodeo. Riders may choose to ride an ATV or motorcycle for this race.

THE HANGMAN CONTEST is a favorite as the driver has to position the rider under the tire so she/he can jump up and grab the tire. The rider must hang from the tire as the driver circles the barrels and returns. Upon return, the rider must successfully drop back onto the motorcycle or ATV before the pair crosses the finish line and the time stops.

EDUCATION

Destiny Field appointed as the Director of Student Intervention Services

By Verlene Johnson

Newly appointed Superintendent Andy Jensen is making some changes to Morgan School District. One of those changes was to ask Destiny Field to be the new Director of Student Intervention Services.

Destiny will oversee the following needs under the Student Intervention Services umbrella:

Title IX, navigating any student sexual harassment or discrimination, McKinney Vento, helping homeless and refugee students and families, English Language Learners, overseeing students learning English for the first time, safety, helping each school have an active and useful safety plan, counseling and mental health, supporting all of the counselors and the Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the district, Principal and Counselor of RISE which is the new alternative high school located upstairs in the Trojan Century Center.

“Though other districts have had someone serving in this capacity, this is a new undertaking for Morgan School District,” said Field. "We are carving it out of stone as we go. Hopefully, we will have a masterpiece over the course of the next few years that will last and serve this community for many years to

come."

Field has been in education in MSD for nearly 20 years. She started her teaching career at Morgan High School in 2003, teaching everything from algebra and biology to Study and Social Skills within the Special Education Department. “I taught simply amazing students in that department for nine years and have many fond memories of my experiences with those kids,” commented Field.

“I loved working with kids to help them overcome learning differences and feel successful. I loved seeing the students’ expressions change from confusion to understanding and confidence. I loved seeing kids climb what felt like insurmountable mountains in their lives.”

She obtained her first master’s degree from Grand Canyon University in Educational Leadership and Administration, and a second master’s degree in Psychology with an emphasis in school counseling from the Utah State University.

Field was a counselor at MHS for nine years, before taking the principal position at Morgan Elementary School.

“I have loved having a first-person view of the magic that happens in every classroom,” said Field.

one year as principal of Morgan Elementary School, her 20-year career as a Morgan special educator, a counselor and now an administrator has prepared her for this new role.

2023-2024 Morgan High Fall Sports Preview

By Liisa London Mecham

F all sports have kicked off at Morgan High. July 31 was the first day of tryouts for many of the team, although girls soccer and golf started July 25. With three returning state championship squads–girls volleyball, football and girls’ tennis–the Trojans have a high standard to uphold. Morgan will continue to compete in the 3A classification in Region 13. Morgan, South Summit, Grantsville, Ogden, Ben Lomond will be joined this year by Union High School in Region 13 for all sports except football. For football, Morgan will compete in the 3A North with all of the same competition except Juan Diego will replace South Summit who drops to 2A for football. In tennis, 1A and 2A schools that have teams are added to 3A regions and state.

Girls’ Tennis

2022 Finish: State Champions

Coaching Staff: Head Coach Katherine Hadley (10th year at MHS), Assistant Coach Heather Dutson

Notes: Under Coach Hadley, the Trojans have won girls tennis titles three of the last four years (2019, 2021 and 2022). This season, Morgan will return only one of their players from the 2022 state championship team: senior Savannah Dutson, who placed second at state at 2nd Singles. Coach Hadley shared, “I am looking forward to a great season! We have some talented girls who are dedicated team players and all get along really well with each other. Even though we only have one returning varsity player, our players have a lot of tennis experience, play tennis year-round, and are great competitors. I'm excited to watch them develop, succeed, and have fun this year!”

For tennis only, Rowland Hall (a 2A school), has been added to Morgan’s region. Coach Hadley remarked, “I think we will be very competitive in our region. Rowland Hall always has good players, so they will be our toughest region compe -

tition, but we are looking forward to the challenge.”

On a state level, Hadley noted, “Rowland Hall, Juab, and Grantsville always have good players. We have all of the private schools in our classification, so we never know what we're going to get with those schools each year—usually really good players!"

Schedule: Come out and watch tennis this fall with a plethora of home matches. First up is Logan at 10 a.m. on August 7 followed by East High at 9 a.m. on August 16. Region 13 play begins August 29 against Grantsville with matches against South Summit (Sept 5), Ben Lomond (Sept 7) and Ogden (Sept 12). All region matches begin at 3:30 p.m. Morgan will also face St. Josephs on August 31 at 3:30 p.m. The Region 13 Championship will be September 21-22 at Ben Lomond and state will follow October 6-7 at Liberty Park in Salt Lake City.

Girls’ Soccer 2022 Finish- Loss in quarterfinals at State to Ogden

Coaching Staff: Head Coach-Bryan Searle (10th year at MHS); Assistant Coaches-Jesse Henderson, Haleigh Saunders, Melanie Wansguard; Soccer Director-Denetter Charlton

Notes: The 2023 girls soccer team will be led by six seniors: Ashlyn Noss, Caroline Owen, Miya Turner, Madison Wansgard, and Kaydence Wardell. Wansgard, who has already committed to UVU to play soccer, and Turner will share the goal-keeping responsibilities.

Coach Henderson commented, “We are really excited about this group of girls. They are dedicated and hard working. They’ve put in work all summer to prepare leading up to the season. With only 10 seniors and juniors, we’ll be looking for contributions from the underclassmen.”

“As always, Ogden will be our toughest region and state competition. We beat them twice during the season

last year, but they got us at state. In addition, Judge Memorial, Juan Diego and Manti are also projected to be strong.”

Schedule: The soccer team opened their season on Thursday, August 3 with a game against 5A Box Elder at home. They will continue their tradition of a tough pre-season with games against Bonneville, Rowland Hall (Aug 10 at home) and Judge Memorial (Aug 15 at home). Region games begin August 29 with the defending state champions Ogden coming to Morgan. The next home games will be August 31 Morgan against Union and September 12 against Grantsville. The final two home region games will be September 26 versus South Summit and October 3 when they take on Ben Lomond. Playoffs begin October 7 and state will be held October 21.

Boys’ Golf

2022 Finish: 5th at State

Coaching Staff: Head coach Dennis Peterson (18th year at MHS), Assistant Coach Troy Norris

Notes: Coach Dennis Peterson returns four players from his team that placed fifth at state last year. Junior Lance Loughton, who was the top Region 13 golfer and placed third at state, leads the crew. Seniors Zaylin McCleary, who finished third in Region 13 and 16th at state, and Jackson Palmer, the #3 golfer for Morgan in 2022, add experience to the team. Junior Riker Rich is the final returning member of the state team from last year. Juniors Dax Loertscher and Isaac Belliston along with sophomore Carter Smith will also contribute well to the team.

Coach Peterson is looking forward to the season and believes that Region 13 teams will be some of the strongest in the state. “Our region will push us and our teams will be among the top in the state. We hope to compete well and have some fun.” Peterson has coached the Trojans to four state championships (2018, 2019, 2020, 2021) with a fifth coming in 1994

under Coach Neil Carrigan.

Schedule: After tryouts on July 31, the team will open their season on August 9 at The Ridge. Morgan will host a Region 13 match on September 5 at their home golf course Round Valley. Region will be held September 26-27, and 3A State Golf will be October 11-12 at Meadowbrook

Boys’ Cross Country 2022 Finish: 4th at State Coaching Staff: Head Coaches Brennan Fuller (11th year at MHS) and Bryan Weir (8th year at MHS)

Notes: With five of the seven state runners from the fourth place 2022 team graduating, Morgan has some spots to fill. Junior EJ Lee, who placed fourth individually at state last year, and sophomore Jonas Archibald return from the 2022 state team. Senior Brooks Anderton and Tucker Giles who both placed at the state track meet in May will also play a large role for the Trojans. The Trojan boys cross country program holds numerous region titles and a state title from 2018.

Coaches expect around 25 boys will come out for the team. They will kick off their race schedule on August 12 at the Premier Invitational at the Cottonwood Complex. Divisionals (October 10) have been added to the State Championship process and will be held after the Region 13 Championship (September 29) meet to determine which teams advance to the final State Meet on October 24.

Coach Weir explained that Divisionals have been added to the State Championship process to ensure that the fastest runners and teams will all qualify for the final state race. He also noted that as a region, the coaches decided to only host three region meets a year and rotate schools hosting region meets every other year. “This will give all of the schools more chances to compete in more invitationals each year later in the season as we prepare for state,” he detailed.

PREVIEW on page 10

Schedule: Morgan will not have a home region cross country meet this year. Catch them in Oakley (Aug 23), at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden (Aug 30), in Park City (Sept 8), or at the Weber County Fairgrounds (Sept 13).

Girls’ Cross Country

2022 Finish: 5th at State

Coaching Staff: Head Coaches Brennan Fuller (11th year at MHS) and Bryan Weir (8th year at MHS)

Notes: With four of the seven top runners graduating, the girls’ team will also have holes to fill. Junior Brekyn Gossling returns as the highest placer for the Trojans from 2022. Seniors Linsday Birt and Kiara Hayward will also bring varsity state experience to the young team. Morgan won three girls’ cross country state titles in 2018, 2019, and 2020. They have also earned several region championships. Coaches expect around 20 girls will come out for the team this year.

Coach Bryan Weir shared, “It will be fun to see which girls fill in slots on the varsity this year. We have a great group with a younger team. We’ll just have to run and see what times we get before we put together our team. Our region will be competitive and it’s going to be exciting to see how we do with the new changes to our schedule, adding more invitationals later in the season.”

Schedule: They will kick off their race schedule on August 12 at the Premier Invitational at the Cottonwood Complex. Divisionals (October 10) have been added to the State Championship process and will be held after the Region 13 Champion -

ship (September 29) meet to determine which teams advance to the final State Meet on October 24. Morgan will not have a home region cross country meet this year. Catch them in Oakley (Aug 23), at the Dinosaur Park in Ogden (Aug 30), in Park City (Sept 8), or at the Weber County Fairgrounds (Sept 13).

Girls’ Volleyball

2022 Finish: State Champions

Coaching Staff: Head Coach Liz Wiscombe (37th year as head coach), Julia Fisher, Janel Thurston, Marcie Wells

Players to Watch: Morgan won their 20th overall state volleyball title last year and 17th under Coach Wiscombe. Four major players who return from last year with a lot of experience are senior middle blockers Liv Jaffa, who has signed to play volleyball at UVU, and Tori Smith and junior outside hitter Gentry Criddle and junior setter Emma Thurston. They will be joined by three other seniors Kamryn Randall (outside hitter), Hadlee Goode (right side) and Hadlee Ovard (libero). Junior Abby McKay (setter) and sophomore Joslyn Jaffa (right side) along with juniors Micah Cannon (defensive specialist) and Kiera Brewer (outside hitter) round out the players on the varsity team.

“We have a tough pre-season planned like always. You can learn a lot from hard games and especially losses early in the season that can help you make adjustments and prepare for October. It’s a good group of kids,” Coach Wiscombe noted, and then added her famous yearly prediction for her teams. “We hope to win a game or two.”

With the addition of Union to the region, Morgan will rekindle an old

rivalry as the Cougars beat Morgan in the state title game three years in a row (2021, 2020 and 2019). Last year at state the Trojans dispatched the Cougars in the quarterfinals 3-1.

Schedule: Morgan will open their season August 15 at Sky View. Their first home games will be August 17 against Salem Hills and August 29 against Green Canyon. Don’t forget to put Pink Night on your calendar for September 28 (Ben Lomond) to come support the team as they raise money to fight against cancer!

Boys’ Football

2022 Finish: State Champions

Coaching Staff: Head coach-Jared Barlow (4th year as head coach); Defensive Coordinator-Matt Larson; Offensive Coordinator-Chase Roberts (new in 2023)

Notes: The Trojans won their eighth football state championship with a blowout victory over Juab in 2022, and they begin the 2023 season ranked number one in the pre-season polls. Coach Barlow returns three starting players on defense: Junior Linebacker Jett Salmon (also running back on offense); senior Zak Sargent who moved from safety to linebacker this year and also plays running back; and senior Tate Nelson who will be playing safety.

On the offensive side, Morgan will return three offensive linemen and one receiver. Seniors Cooper McGiven, Will Fisher and Luke Olsen return to hold the O-line and protect junior quarterback Beck Sheffield who will lead the Trojans passing attack. Junior Lincoln Gilson is a returning receiver from last year.

Coach Barlow feels that one of their major strengths will be the team “buy in” to the new offensive coordi -

nator’s plans. During the off season, long-time offensive coordinator John Millward hung up his whistle, and Chase Roberts was hired to replace him. Roberts, who is originally from Arkansas has been coaching at Wasatch the past three seasons, is excited to coach in the community in which he lives.

Another player that Barlow is “excited for” is senior kicker Beau Johnson. “Beau’s been kicking for us for three years and had a lot of experience. It’s going to be fun to see what he does.”

“I expect our defense to continue with the same success that it has in the past under our defensive coordinator Matt Larsen. It has been a rock solid, stable part of our program for years,” Barlow continued.

Barlow predicts the region will be tough this year. “Grantsville is reloading, Ogden and Ben Lomond have a lot of potential, if they can stay healthy, and Union has a lot of young kids coming up with a new coach coming in. Juan Diego is tough, it’s hard to know who they will be bringing in.”

In the 3A South, Canyon View HIgh School is returning the most players of any team in 3A, Barlow explained, but “Juab also has plenty of depth and tradition; they don’t rebuild, they just reload.”

Schedule: Morgan will face four 4A schools out of the gate: Crimson Cliffs (August 11 away), Bear River (August 18 home), Sky View (August 25 away) and Green Canyon (September 1 home). They will conclude their pre-region games at 5A Kearns on September 8. Home games will be September 15 against Juan Diego, September 22 against Ben Lomond and October 13 against Union. l

It isn’t hard to find Billy Gardell on television these days. The actorcomedian remains visible in Nick at Nite and CMT repeats of “Mike & Molly,” the sitcom in which he and Melissa McCarthy starred as a plus-sized couple.
