Morgan Valley Arts performs the third annual ‘Messiah’

By Ethan Hoffmann

L

ast Sunday, Dec. 17, the Morgan Valley Arts Council presented its third annual production of Messiah. Messiah is a free family event and a dress rehearsal was open to the public on Dec. 10 at 8 p.m. The event was located in the Morgan High School auditorium and took place at 7:30. Visitors were greeted by towering Christmas trees adorned with red poinsettia flowers and a spiritual aura to welcome the Christmas season. Opening remarks were given and the invocation was introduced by Amy Ward. In addition, Rudy Cordeiro read the program notes.

The concert featured singers and orchestra players from the Morgan Valley Chamber and the music was conducted by Emily Shumway Pfeifer with Abby Marie Beattie serving as the concertmaster. The performance was divided into five scenes and four unique voice parts were included throughout. Macey Quigley Russel as mezzo-soprano, Cliff Sharp as tenor, Bill Wiser as baritone, and a special appearance from Clara Hurtado Lee. To learn more about Lee, visit: https://www.clarahurtadolee.com/ The performance itself incorporated seasonal highlights from the Messiah oratorio written by George Frédéric Handel, a German-British composer. An oratorio is “a large-scale musical work for orchestra and voices, typically has a religious theme” as stated by Oxford Languages. Thetabernaclechoir.org states, “Handel composed Messiah without getting much sleep or even eating much food. When his assistants brought him his meals, they were often left uneaten. His servants would often find him in tears as he composed. When he completed “Hallelujah,” he reportedly told his servant, “I did think I did see all Heaven before me, and the great God Himself seated on his throne, with His company of Angels.”

During the show, the audience was invited to participate by singing along to multiple songs in the program. The most memorable of them all was the finale, “Hallelujah”, which encour-

n the ongoing case of Wasatch Peaks Ranch, Judge Noel S. Hyde of Second District Court has issued a preliminary injunction barring the resort from moving ahead with any development.

The preliminary injunction was issued on Dec. 8, eight days after Hyde had entered a temporary restraining order against the development. According to the preliminary injunction, WPR may not move forward in any way on the 12,000-acre property except for “protective maintenance.”

Sandra Day O'Connor laid to rest

Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman in the U.S. Supreme Court was laid to rest this week and was memorialized and eulogized for her work in the U.S. government. Appointed by President Reagan in 1981, O’Connor served on the Supreme Court from that year until 2006. Known for her meticulous research, O’Connor was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Obama in 2009 and continued working as an activist and public speaker after her retirement. O’Connor died Dec. 1, 2023, due to complications of a respiratory illness.

After weeks of calm, a fissure erupted this week with lava spewing high into the air just miles north of the town of Grindavík, Iceland. Thus far, the eruption has been favorable, with minimal ash, and the lava flow heading away from both the town and the nearby Svartsengi power station and Blue Lagoon resort. Thanks to early preparation on the part of Icelanders, experts are confident that the damage will be minimal. Experts also predict that the eruption will taper off, but likely will last several weeks, if not months.

diately cease all construction and development activity on the property which is the subject of the Ordinance, to the extent that such activity is inconsistent with the zoning status of the property immediately prior to the passage of the Ordinance,” Hyde’s order reads.

In September Hyde authorized five Morgan County residents, Whitney Croft, David Pike, Robert Bohman, Brandon Peterson, and Shelley Paige, opposed to the development to go ahead with a referendum petition that seeks to have county voters weigh in on the Oct. 30, 2019 rezone which allowed the resort to come into be-

ing. The five residents thought this would halt all work on the property until that referendum, but on Oct. 3 Morgan County commissioners approved a subdivision in the development. Morgan County Attorney Garrett Smith said at that time that Hyde’s September ruling only applied to applications filed after his decision.

However, the order issued Dec. 8 and posted Dec. 14 makes clear that Hyde disagrees with Smith. Any development or promotion of the resort in any way is not allowed until the case has been decid-

Despite a relatively temperate December in the west, the Northeast has been pounded by a severe storm this week. A deluge of rainfall flooded roads and towns across the eastern seaboard and has already caused at least 5 deaths. Disaster workers and relief agencies are scrambling to provide as much aid as possible as a predicted temperature drop threatens to turn a bad situation even worse in the days and weeks ahead. Flights, public transportation, and more have all been affected by the storm, and will likely be affected into the holiday weekend.

Jonathan Majors dropped by Marvel

Following a series of ups and downs in the franchise, Marvel leadership had banked on Jonathan Majors’ Kang the Conqueror being the next big villain of the multi-million dollar empire. Arrested in connection with abuse and assault claims earlier this year, Majors has gone through a series of legal battles to contest his innocence and was just declared guilty of reckless assault in the 3rd degree and a non-criminal charge of harassment. Immediately following the verdict, Marvel announced that it was dropping the actor from his role, but still intended on going through with planned titles featuring the character.

MESSIAH from page 1 premiere” and the audience followed suit. In ancient Europe, it was customary to remain standing until the monarch was seated and to stand when the king rose to his feet.

Sharp, the tenor and a local resident of Morgan, has been singing in the Messiah for a very long time. He has performed in many places including Blanding, Logan, Idaho Falls, Delta, and Ogden. “You don't need to be a trained musician to learn something and grow from the experience,” said Sharp on the subject. “The Messiah is a masterwork and has been performed more than any other choral music in history. To be able to sing it with a group of people is a fulfilling opportunity that I think everyone should have. It’s a rarity for people to sing this level of music with relatively little preparation. Most of all, it’s a special gift that gives back to everyone involved.”

Lee is an opera singer, concert soloist, recitalist, and voice teacher; Morgan was graced by her warm soprano voice during her solo during the concert. "They have a beautiful sound, intonation, spirit, and accuracy,” said Lee in a Facebook post. “I think they played my spritely Rejoice tempo better than anyone ever has! They could stand up next to any community group in the state. It is a miracle and a gift to see and hear them.”

Beattie has always loved music. She has been associated with many musical groups as a violinist and was part of guest performances in Idaho, Nevada, and Utah.

In addition, she is a founding member of the Chamber Orchestra Ogden. "I love being a part of Morgan Valley's annual Messiah Singalong!” said Beattie. “Playing and singing with friends and community members creates such a wonderful feeling of gratitude and joy

Morgan County makes national growth list

By Linda Petersen

M

organ County has been named the 34 fastest-growing county in the U.S. in a Dec. 12 Wall Street Journal special report.

Over the 10 years from 2012 to 2021 (the most recent years for which data is available) the county’s population has grown by 28.2 percent — 2,677, the report says. Morgan County grew from a population of 9,485 in 2012 to 12,162 in 2021.

Median home values increased by

70.4 percent (+$187,600) over that decade which means that a home that cost $266,300 in 2012 would have sold for $453,900 in 2021. On the plus side, employment increased by 39.3 percent, meaning 1,601 jobs were added during that time. Unemployment dropped from 4.3 percent in 2012 to 2.2 percent in 2021.

Three other Utah counties made the list: Wasatch at #6, Washington at #41, and Utah at #46. Wasatch County saw a 43.8 percent population increase and a 52.2 percent increase in employment over that decade. Unemployment

dropped from 5.1 percent in 2012 to 2.9 percent in 2012.

By comparison, the fastest-growing county in the country, McKenzie County, North Dakota, saw a 105.6 percent (+7,070 people) population explosion, no doubt driven by the massive expansion of fracking operations in the state. Its median home value increased by 194.4 percent (to $309,400) while employment increased by 38.5 percent (+2,301 jobs).

“In most counties on this list, the job market expanded enough to accommodate the influx of new residents, as over-

all employment growth outpaced population growth. Only four counties on this list had a higher average unemployment rate in 2021 than in 2012, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,” the report said.

“Increased demand for housing in these places had a meaningful impact on the real estate market,” it also said.

“Among the counties on this list, median home values climbed by anywhere from about 15 percent to nearly 200 percent based on ACS estimates from 2012 to 2021. l

Injunction causing hardship for some local residents, Wasatch Peaks Ranch representative claims

udge Noel S. Hyde’s preliminary injunction against Wasatch Peaks Ranch which prohibits any work on the development until a citizen referendum is explored is already negatively impacting the company’s employees and subcontractors who are Morgan County residents, Wasatch Peaks Ranch Managing Director Ed Schultz told the Morgan City Council on Dec. 12.

“While this is very impactful to us as a company and us as members of the community, it is also very impactful to you all as members of the community,” he said. “We have over 190 employees, 40 of which are Morgan residents. We now have 140 approvals from Morgan County and also the state and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers that have been put into question.”

ed in the courts, he said. Hyde addressed and dismissed several arguments made by WPR and Morgan County’s counsel.

His order does not determine the validity of the original ordinance, Hyde said in a Dec. 8 hearing. “The court is not making a ruling today that the development is good, bad, or indifferent. That is not the roleMORGAN of the court.

The courtNEWS is ruling that COUNTY Since 1929

County taxpayers are also being impacted, he said, because the taxes that could be collected from the completed phases of the development will not be generated while the project is on hold.

“The 50 home sites that we platted and created in 2022 resulted in tax payments to Morgan County that totaled $2.2 million,” Shultz said. “Those Morgan County taxes that were paid by our members and ourselves also fund the school district which many of the of the city’s residents and the school kids attend. The percentage [of those taxes] is around 70 percent that goes to the school district, and now fast forward to 2023, we have plotted another 50 to 55 home sites. Those 50 home sites based on assessed values in 2022 for the original 50 could have created up to another $4.5 million of taxes for the county and the school district. That’s all been put into question now.”

The injunction is affecting the entire

community, he said, and work by the resort’s 300 subcontractors has been shut down except for protective maintenance allowed by Judge Hyde.

“We are still trying to calculate the impact dollar-wise and the impact to the people,” Shultz said. “Those employees that cannot be redeployed are going to have a very difficult Christmas, and you know those employees are based in Morgan County, Weber County, Davis County, Summit County, Salt Lake County.”

Shultz brought what he said was a dozen letters from employees and subcontractors who are being negatively impacted by the shutdown.

“I've read every one of them,” he said.

“I've talked to, I know these people, and it's going to be a difficult Christmas for a lot of people.”

The company is also starting to see tertiary impacts on local businesses, including on a Morgan City business that

leases vehicles to Wasatch Peaks Ranch, he said.

“We believe in constitutional rights,” he said, referring to the five Morgan County residents who are seeking a citizen referendum on the original 2019 rezone that brought the development into existence.

“We believe in all citizens’ constitutional rights, our constitutional rights, your constitutional rights, and the constitutional rights of the individuals, but there has to be a responsibility exercised with those rights. I’m not a constitutionalist or an attorney, but I just wanted to raise awareness of the impacts to your friends, your neighbors, your fellow citizens, and your children and grandchildren.”

Afterward, Mayor Steve Gale thanked Schultz for his comments but neither he nor the city council addressed any of the issues raised by Shultz. l

the voters have a voice, and that voice must be heard,” he said.

Wasatch Peaks Ranch’s claim that it will experience $455 million in losses is “purely speculative” he says. He further said it was not necessary because of that potential loss for the residents to post a bond.

“The court ruling is that the intention of the posting of a bond is not intended to address potential speculative future revenue stream issues and that there is no spe-

cific information from which the court can determine the accuracy of the $455 million figure or of any other figure at this point,” he said.

“Constitutional rights are not for sale,” Hyde said. “Constitutional rights are zealously guarded and protected by the court.

To suggest that a party is required to post a substantial bond in order to vindicate their constitutional rights actually puts a price tag on those rights, and if the party is unable to come up with that bonding require-

ment, whatever it is that may be requested, then the constitutional right may go unaddressed, and that, in the court’s view, is not consistent with public policy.”

Hyde scheduled a telephone conference with the parties for Dec. 14 and indicated that he would be likely to schedule a court date during that conference. The trial date has not yet been released.

Five local women receive the ‘Heart of our Hometown’ Award

By Verlene Johnson

I

n the spirit of the holiday season, Jaime Weeter, a Morgan Mom and the Owner of Olive Ave – Women’s Clothing Boutique introduced the "Heart of Our Hometown" awards to the community. This heartwarming initiative aims to honor individuals and businesses within the Morgan community who have had a profound and positive impact on the lives of residents, celebrating the unsung heroes who exemplify Christ-like behavior in their everyday actions.

From Nov. 13 to Nov. 25 residents of Morgan Valley were invited to participate in the "Heart of Our Hometown" awards by nominating individuals or businesses that they believe have made a significant difference in our community. After anonymous nominations were made, an impartial committee then picked five individuals who embody the spirit of giving, compassion, and selflessness.

For five days, starting on Dec. 11, the “Heart of Our Hometown” awards were presented and then announced via social media with a spotlight and compliments from those who nominated those who won.

The first “Heart of Hometown” winner was, Susana Chard also known at Morgan Elementary School as Abuela Susy. Chard consistently shows up wherever there is a need, contributing in any way possible. Her impact extends across various community organizations, businesses, and notably at work within the Morgan School District where “she acts as an angel, caring for teachers, parents, and children alike,” commented one nominator.

Her influence is especially evident as she works with ESL (English Second Language) students, bridging the language barrier at school. Going beyond daily support in the classroom, she becomes deeply involved with students and their families, offering financial assistance for food and school supplies.

Her generosity extends to buying books and other necessities for the students.

Outside of school she generously gives her time to help with homework, answer parental questions, and support families through challenging times. Over the years, Chard’s impact has reached numerous children and families during their most difficult moments. Her most Christ-like attribute is undoubtedly her consistent prioritization of others, even when it comes at inconvenient times.

Cindy McKee was the second “Heart of Our Hometown” winner. She has dedicated nearly two years to managing the Morgan County Food Pantry.

McKee spends countless hours ensuring the pantry is well-maintained, organized, and stocked to be able to offer a welcoming space for individuals and families in need to access essential supplies.

She also works diligently to help nearly 50 families during major holidays to make sure they have a meal to share with their families. McKee also plays a pivotal role in organizing Sub for Santa gifts.

“Cindy's dedication goes beyond the tangible aspects of her work. Without her selfless service, many families

would face the prospect of going without, experiencing overwhelming stress, empty tummies, and a Christmas devoid of the magic that comes with gifts under the tree,” said one nominator.

Candice Noss. won the third “Heart of Our Hometown” award for embodying authenticity and goodness in all she does. Noss serves the community and schools as the Morgan High School freshman coach and organized the Jump Rope Club at Morgan Elementary School with her radiant smile, uplifting words, and unwavering optimism.

In addition to her involvement at school, Noss runs The Mind, Body, Spirit Trifecta, a business that spreads hope and light by empowering women to embrace their divinity and greatness.

Her positive influence extends beyond Morgan County, touching the lives of countless women.

Her service-oriented nature is evident as she spends her summers leading humanitarian trips around the world.

Recently, with the help of the Morgan County School District, she was able to set up a computer network in Kenya with donated Chromebooks.

“She is an incredible woman, wife, mother, business owner, and friend, deserving of every opportunity that comes her way,” commented a nominator.

Tiffany Ellis stands out as one of the most Christ-like individuals. For this she was the fourth recipient of the “Heart of Our Hometown” award. “Her service is not only effortless but also stems from an inexhaustible well of compassion, consistently extended to those in need,” according to one nominator. “Taking on the challenging role of a foster mom, she displays a level of love and patience that is truly beyond many’s comprehension.”

For years, Ellis has quietly undertaken the significant responsibility of feeding the homeless in Ogden, a monumental task that she manages with humility, without seeking any public recognition.

Recently Ellis has been helping refugee families where she generously involves the community in this impactful initiative.

Within the community, her positive influence leaves an impact on so many, from serving the youth in her church to the school’s PTSOs and Community Councils. Ellis imparts her knowledge by teaching nursing students at the high school level.

The fifth and final winner of the “Heart of Our Hometown” award is the owner of Hinds Country Store, Dalynn Patterson. Her family has invested immense effort in establishing the gas station in Peterson. Members young and old feel welcome at the store for food, drinks, and an array of activities organized by Patterson and her husband.

From the highly anticipated annual pumpkin drop to the engaging golf ball race during the bridge closure and the festive appearance of Santa around the holidays. During the challenging times of the COVID-19 shutdown, Hinds sponsored a socially distanced scavenger hunt and the first “It’s Not Fair” Fair.

The list of community activities orchestrated by Hinds goes on and on.

One nominator said, “Our family is genuinely grateful to have Hinds, under

Dalynn and her family’s management, enriching our community. They are always willing to generously donate items for events and show support for community events. Their annual events, the day-to-day warmth, and the continuous support during community challenges make Hinds a beloved establishment for us. We wholeheartedly love Hinds!”

The "Heart of Our Hometown" awards owe their existence to the generosity of small local businesses in Morgan Valley. “Their contributions have made it possible to celebrate the individuals and businesses that enhance our community,” said organizer Jaime Weeter. “This offers an excellent opportunity for community members to learn more about these local establishments and show their support.”

cards to a basket that was presented to each winner. Those businesses include The Fudge Lady, Sport Sparkle, Hinds Country Store, Morganite Gems, Morgan Nutrition, TAMILEEBEAUTY, Twirl In Pink, and Contourcreative.us.

Olive Ave – Women’s Clothing Boutique is proud to be the originator and primary sponsor of this community event. “This event is not only a delightful way to unite the community during the holiday season but also an opportunity to express gratitude and appreciation for the everyday stars among us. It is a testament to the Christ-like values of love, kindness, and generosity that are embodied by the nominees and the local business donors that make these awards possible,” said Weeter. l

Morgan football has three players named to Deseret News 3A first-team

By Brian Shaw

F

or the Morgan Trojans, the season might not have gone the way that they’d wanted.

Getting some individual accolades after the fact is always good, though.

For three Trojans, their play on the field was good enough to garner 3A firstteam recognition by the Deseret News.

Zak Sargent was a force on both sides of the ball as a running back and linebacker. But it was his 795 yards rushing and 12 touchdowns that got the senior named to the 3A first-team. It

was the first time that Sargent had been named to an All-State team.

Defensive tackle Cooper McGiven was one of many Trojans that the coaching staff had play both ways. But the senior’s play along the trenches as a defensive lineman got him a first-team nod. For McGiven, this is a step up after having been named as a 3A honorable mention last year.

For Beau Johnson, the 3A first-team recognition the kicker and punter received was actually his second straight honor as a first-team football player for the Trojans; the senior finished his career at Morgan 8 all-time on the Utah High

School Athletics Activities Association [USHAA] record books for extra points, with 160.

Two Trojans were named to the Deseret News 3A second team. They were junior wide receiver Lincoln Gilson [63 pass receptions, 930 receiving yards, 11 TD] and senior safety Tate Nelson [87 tackles, 2 INT].

For Nelson, this was also his second straight nomination to one of the All-State teams; he was named as a 3A honorable mention last season during Morgan’s run to the state championship in 2022.

Several others were named as 3A

honorable mention. Junior quarterback Beck Sheffield [199 pass completions, 2,599 yards passing, 25 TD; 128 yards rushing and 6 TD], sophomore offensive tackle Ledger Keele and senior center William Fisher got the nod on offense.

Senior middle linebacker Tytan Willis [57 tackles, 2 sacks] and junior outside LB Jett Salmon [26 tackles, 3 sacks, 2 INT] were the other players named 3A honorable mention.

According to the Deseret News, the All-State team is selected “based on coaches’ votes from a nominated list of players from each team.” l

o say this season has been a struggle would be the understatement of the century for the Morgan Trojans girls’ basketball team.

When veteran head coach Sterling Mack told one reporter at the Morgan Sports Network that he wanted to “play like some of the great UNLV run-and-gun teams” this season, it appears that the lessons Mack has been teaching his Trojans this preseason might finally be sinking in.

On Thursday, Dec. 14, Morgan [2-8] recorded a 44-18 win over Stansbury, their second victory of the season, thanks to an 18-point performance from junior Eva Birkeland. Not only were these points one of Birkeland’s best outings of the season, it ranked second to the 20 she poured in at North Summit Dec. 7.

Birkeland drained three three-pointers in Thursday night’s 26-point home victory over Stansbury that start-

ed with a 13-0 first quarter and headed into the locker room with a 19-8 lead at halftime. Junior Alexis Burt chipped in five points, while Abby Titus, Keira Brewer and Leah Birkeland scored four in the win that saw the Trojans extend their lead to 23 points at 37-14 by the end of the third quarter.

The emphatic victory was Morgan’s first since Dec. 2’s 58-18 drubbing of Timpanogos during the Morgan Winter Classic.

What’s ironic about Morgan’s 26-point win on Friday, Dec. 14 was that the Trojans nearly broke what turned out to be a 3-game losing streak at Fremont on Dec. 12.

Morgan may have lost that battle to Fremont 4648, but the reigning 3A champion Trojans gave the 6A semifinalists everything they could handle and then some.

The Trojans actually led the game through three quarters at 39-33, but faded down the stretch to be handed a 2-point loss.

WHAT TO WATCH

Abby Titus and Leah Birkeland each scored 11 points to pace Morgan, while Kaydence Wardell pitched in nine and Eva Birkeland seven for the Trojans, who will travel to American Fork on Dec. 18.

Trojans drop two games in a row

For the Morgan boys basketball team, this week might be one they might want to forget.

The Trojans fell behind 14 points by halftime at Wasatch Dec. 13 en route to a 47-71 loss. Kolton Asay paced Morgan with 14 points while Bracken Saunders added nine.

Morgan [2-7] was back at home two nights later to face Bear River. Another slow start in the first half led to a 12-point deficit at 19-31 and the Trojans couldn’t pull any closer in the 49-62 loss. Bracken Saunders scored 20 points and Asay 18 to lead Morgan, who will next host Granger, Dec. 18 and APA West Valley on Dec. 19. l

‘Migration’ a delight, while ‘Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget’ still plenty of fun

By Jenniffer Wardell The Movie Guru

M

igration (in theaters) These ducks are a delight.

Illumination’s first film since 2016 that isn’t a sequel or tied to an existing IP, “Migration” was definitely worth the wait. It’s the kind of warm-hearted family fun that made us fall in love with the studio in the first place, with a much more solid, engaging plot than 2016’s “Sing” and more complex humor than the Minions. Even better, it’s grounded in real emotions that will touch your heart no matter how old you are.

The movie focuses on a duck family trying to convince their dad to go on migration. The dad’s worried about how dangerous it could be, but his wife and kids convince him and they set off. Of course, that’s when everything starts to go wrong.

The story will be immediately relatable to anyone who’s gone on vacation with their family, with generally much more entertaining jokes than we see in the trailers. The family dynamics are also genuinely touching, with everyone clearly loving each other no matter how much they squabble. It also helps the emotional lessons, and the triumphant family moments, hit much more powerfully.

It also offers an important lesson for those of us in the audience to take away. These days it seems like everything is pretty scary, and it can be tempting to keep your world as small as possible in an attempt not to worry. But if ducks can risk venturing out into the unknown, maybe we can, too.

Grade:  Three and a half stars

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget (Netflix)

Most sequels aren’t as good as the original. With some movies, though, that leaves a lot of room for quality.

That’s definitely the case with “Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget.” Made 23 years after the original, the sequel is less focused and just a bit less clever than the original. It’s still a lot of fun, full of genuinely entertaining sequences, family-friendly sweetness, and even just a little bit of darkness.

It does “Mission Impossible” better than the actual “Mission Impossible” movies are managing it these days, and it does it with Aardman’s absolutely wonderful stop-motion animation. As far as sequels go, it has a lot to offer.

Years after the original movie, the group of chickens who escaped are living happy lives on an island. Rocky and Ginger’s daughter Molly, however, wants adventure more than she wants safety. She sneaks off and ends up getting caught by a “happy farm” that brainwashes its chickens (because happy chickens taste better). Can Ginger and Rocky save their daughter, or will she figure out how to save

herself?

The movie starts a little slow, but once the action starts rolling it’s a lot of fun. The humor is silly but never over the top, low-key and always delivered with excellent comic timing. Rocky’s more ridiculous than he is in the original, but he has wonderful dad energy and is ably voiced by Zachary Levi. Bella Ramsey is great as Molly, who genuinely feels like a combination of both her parents.

The original “Chicken Run” was legendary.

Though “Nugget” doesn’t hit that level, it makes for a fun movie night.

MGMS FBLA CHAPTER

MGMS FBLA WINNERS

MMS and MGMS FBLA students find success at regional competition

By Verlene Johnson

N

either a late start nor snow-packed roads could stop the Future Business Leaders of America in Morgan County.

On Dec. 8, seventh and eighth graders from Morgan Middle School and Mountain Green Middle School competed in the Northern Region Business competition at Syracuse Arts Academy.

Nineteen students from MMS participated in what is their second year of FBLA with nine placing in their category.

The students who placed in their events include: Devyn Young, Elevator Speech, fifth place; Devyn Young and Martina Gonzalez, Exploring Business Issues, third place; Marissa Davis, FBLA Missing and Pledge, second place, Lexi Clark, FBLA Mission and Pledge first Place, Maeli London, FBLA Concepts second place; Xavier Cornelius and Nicholas Hardman, Video Game Challenge second place; Avy London and Marli George, Business Ethics, third place; Marli George, Financial Literacy third place.

Of the 30 students who participated in the inaugural year of FBLA at MGMS, 17 placed in the competition. The students who placed in their group presentation events include Trey Galbraith, Rocky Mansfield, and Cole Mueller, Marketing Mix second place; Reece Crowther, Abigail Mindes, and Brooklyn DeVries, Critical Thinking fourth place; Greta Sill, Melia Rollins, and Sophia Wimmer, Critical Thinking, third place; Andrew Stocking and Cameron Morgan, Exploring Business Issues, fifth place.

Additionally, several students placed individually in various categories of the Objective Tests: Andrew Stocking, Exploring Technology first place; Aaralyn Auxier, Interpersonal Communication first place; Brightyn DeBoer, Career Ex-

ploration fifth place; Kate Hiatt, Career Exploration third place and Business Etiquette fifth place; Cameron Morgan, FBLA Concepts, fifth place; Averyella Johnson, Career Exploration fourth place; Major Seeley, Exploring Computer Science, fourth place; Dylan Wilkinson, Exploring Computer Science fifth place.

These middle schools are in a unique situation where the two FBLA advisors at the two different schools are husband and wife, Dustin and Krachel Fullmer. After starting the FBLA program at MMS last year, Dustin followed suit at MGMS this year. Both are business teachers and Digital Lit. teachers at their respective schools.

They view the competition as a huge success, in part because the majority of the students who competed at the competition were junior high students from bigger schools. "If you think about it, our schools only have seventh and eighth graders competing up against these big junior highs from the valley and we don't have ninth graders in our schools,” stated Krachel. “But we're going in there and competing with the best of them and doing a great job."

Krachel noted that her students showed improvement from last year.

“This is the second year for Morgan Middle School students to compete in the regional event,” she said. "Last year we had five students place at regions. Lexi Clark competed at both Region and State but didn't place at either one. This year she came back and took first! Last year Martina Gonzalez was afraid to compete in a presentation event, but then she partnered with Devyn Young and together they brought home a third-place finish. Marli George and Nicholas Hardman have never competed, but both came home with awards. I am very proud of each of them for going outside of their comfort zone

and trying something they have never done before."

“I am so proud of all of the students who were able to get out of their comfort zone and present or prepare for one of the objective tests,” commented Dustin.

“We had no idea what to expect coming into this competition and we came in and crushed it, together. They all should be proud of their performance and now have

the experience to compete in future competitions."

The main purpose of FBLA is to inspire and prepare students to become community-minded business leaders through relevant career preparation and leadership experiences. Students will now prepare for the FBLA middle-level state competition which will take place in early 2024. l

MHS Ovation Choir performs in Salt Lake City

By Ethan Hoffmann

O

n Dec. 9, the Ovation Choir of Morgan High School embarked on a festive field trip to Salt Lake City. The class met at the front of the school early on Saturday afternoon and boarded a bus for the Church History Museum located at Temple Square.

Weeks prior to the event, the stu-

dents rehearsed a number of songs and Christmas carols in preparation for the performance, under the instruction of Choir director Sadie Julander. At the museum auditorium, the Choir sang the following: Welcome Christmas, Dashing Through The Snow, Lully Lulla Lullay, Up on the House Top, Silent Night, Deck the Hall, We Wish You a Merry Christmas, and I'll Be Home for Christmas.

Throughout the day, the Choir took group pictures on the Temple Square premises. After the performance in the auditorium, students had the opportunity to visit City Creek Mall to shop and eat dinner together. Later they regrouped at the Salt Lake Tabernacle to watch a Concert Choir Performance by West Jordan High School.

“These students are incredible,”

Julander said. “The progress they have made so far this year has been such a delight to see as their director, and I couldn't be prouder! They did a good job with their performance. More importantly, they are coming together as a group of not just performers, but supporters of music and friends. I'm so lucky to be their teacher!” l

The history behind Christmas

By Verlene Johnson

C

hristmas centers around the birth of Jesus Christ who was born more than two thousand years ago in Bethlehem. However, some historians claim that Jesus was not born in the winter months but in the springtime when shepherds were herding their sheep. So, the question becomes, how did the birth of Jesus Christ become a winter holiday?

According to History.com, centuries before Jesus walked the earth, Europeans celebrated light and birth in the darkest days of winter. Many people rejoiced during the winter solstice when the worst of the winter was behind them and they could look forward to longer days and extended hours of sunlight.

In the Norse countries, this celebration was known as Yule. A large log would be lit in the fireplace representing warmth with sparks representing the animals that would be born in the coming spring. The log would burn for 12 days while people feasted on the cattle they slaughtered. A giant tree would be dragged into homes, to prove that life persisted in these dark times.

In Rome, Saturnalia was celebrated during the winter solstice, a monthlong celebration of food, and drink.

People decorated their homes with wreaths and other greenery. Instead of working, Romans spent Saturnalia gambling, singing, playing music, feasting, socializing, and giving each

other gifts while making sacrifices to the gods. On Dec. 25, it was believed that the sun god Mithra was born.

When Christianity started in the first century in Rome, it centered on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. In the fourth century, religious leaders started recognizing the importance of Jesus' birth. With the uncertainty of when Jesus was born, pagan Rome decided since they celebrated Mithra’s birthday on Dec. 25, it made sense to celebrate Jesus’ birth on the same day. In A.D 336., Dec. 25 was declared as the Feast Day of the Nativity. The Christian church, knowing they could not outlaw the pagan tradition, adopted many of the traditions from Saturnalia.

Christians started decorating the evergreen trees with apples symbolizing the Garden of Eden. Eventually, Christmas ornaments such as glass balls would take the place of the apples. Holly, used as a mid-winter decoration, became a symbol of the crown of thorns that was placed on Jesus’ head at the time of his crucifixion.

As Christmas spread to England, the holiday became a riotous carnival with parties in the street with many becoming unruly, and peasants taking from the wealthy whatever they wanted. In the 17th century, Christmas became a more religious celebration in England when the Puritans had overthrown the king. To rid England of all that was decadent they outlawed Christmas in 1652. However, the English continued to celebrate in secret

Emergency Water Storage Made Simple

until 1656 when the people demanded that the king be returned to his throne and Christmas was restored.

The first recorded Christmas celebration in America was from Spanish explorers in 1539 near what is now known as Florida. It is also recorded that in 1607, in Jamestown, Virginia, Christmas was celebrated. This is where eggnog was first introduced into the Christmas tradition. When Puritan separatists arrived at Plymouth Rock in 1620, Christmas was outlawed and anyone exhibiting anything Christmas would be fined. Puritans believed that celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ was a sign of decadence and a disgrace to Christianity. In 1661 in Massachusetts, the ban on Christmas was repelled; however, objections from the Puritans remained strong. By the end of the 1620s, Christmas was established in the legislative calendar of the Virginia colony. Slowly English traditions spread throughout the colonies as more settlers arrived from the different parts of the world.

By the mid-18th century, Christmas had become relatively mainstream, it still wasn’t officially recognized as a holiday by the time of the Revolutionary War. Trying to separate from England, Christmas fell out of favor. In 1789, Congress went so far as to hold its first session on Christmas Day. With very few holidays populating the American calendar by the 19th century, Christmas was the one holiday that would bring the new nation together.

Wanting to start new traditions away

from English traditions, Americans would invent their own Christmas, changing it from the riotous carnival holiday to the more family-centered tradition we know today. Early American settlers thought decorating a tree in a home at Christmas time was an oddity. The first record of displaying a tree in America was in the 1830s by the German settlers of Pennsylvania; although decorated trees had been a tradition in many German homes in 16th century Germany. By the 20th century, many Americans were decorating Christmas trees with homemade ornaments.

Congress declared Christmas a federal holiday in 1870. By that time, traditions such as the Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and gift-giving were traditions in America. In 1882 the first Christmas tree that was lit by electric lights was seen in New York City. Before that, candles had been used to light trees. Outdoor light displays started in 1927 when it was safe to have bulbs outside.

For Christians, Christmas continues to center around Jesus Christ, who they believe is the savior of the world.

However, Christmas has become a more secular holiday, celebrated by non-Christians in much of the same way with decorating, gift-giving, caroling, baking, and gathering with family and friends throughout the holiday season. From all of us at The Morgan News, Merry Christmas! l

COIN WARS RAGE ON AT MMS

ach Christmas Morgan Middle School has its traditional Coin Wars. Each grade has a jar in the office. Students put cash in their own grade’s jar to go toward their total and coins in the other grade’s jars to count against that grade. The money raised goes to local families to help them have a good Christmas.

Their goal was $3,000 and they surpassed that. Some community members made large donations.

Because the school made its goal, students were able to PIE teachers, something that everyone involved looks forward to!

In memoriam: celebrating the unforgettable life of Tracy Jensen Calamari May 1, 1967 – Dec. 11 2023

New SUP board and presidency sworn in

M

onday, the 18 was the annual Christmas luncheon for the members of the Morgan Chapter of the Sons of the Utah Pioneers. A delicious lunch was provided by Larry’s Spring Chicken Inn. Next year’s Chapter board members and Presidency were sworn in by visiting National SUP President, Nate Pierce. These included Past President, Van Nelson; President, George Hopkin; President-Elect, Vaughn Larson; Vice President, Howard Hansen; Executive Secretary, Van Nelson; Heritage and Scholarship, Rick London; Membership & Recognition, Mark Francis; Monuments, George Newton; Publicity, Eric Anderton; Treasurer, Kelly Wright and Treks & Tours, Gerald Betournay Each year the Modern Pioneer Award is presented to a person who exemplifies the qualities and attributes of our Pioneer ancestors. They contribute time and effort to help remember and honor our heritage both for us and future generations. This year’s award was presented to our outgoing President Van Nelson by board member Mark Francis.

Van has served in the Chapter Presidency in multiple positions at the same time for several years during the challenging Covid years. Congratulations to Van and thank you.

A Christmas message was presented by the newly sustained Chapter president, George Hopkins. He related the touching story of early Morgan residents Peter Anderson and Sophia Heiner, a prosperous local couple who had brought a great deal of happiness to the valley with their generosity and service.

They were, however, unable to have children of their own. In 1918 the influenza epidemic swept through the community. That year the Andersons provided Christmas gifts for all of the children in the valley who had lost parents to the epidemic. On Christmas Eve a “Glorious Gift” was returned to them in the form of a recently orphaned infant being left on their doorstep by the Red Cross. A note was left with the request of a dying mother to give the child to a loving family to care for him. A tender Christmas miracle.

Inspiring entertainment for the evening was performed by some of our very gifted local talent. The spectacular piano music of Rudy Cordeiro entertained the group during the meal. He is a native of Washington DC, the orchestra director at the high school, owner of the “Piano Place” on Commercial Street, and the Youth Pastor at the Morgan Valley Church. After the meal, the room was filled with the wonderful Christmas music of Rudy, Anne Elkins, and Emily Pfeifer. Anne is a native of SLC. She served a mission to Hamburg Germany and earned a degree in Violin Performance from the U of U. She worked at the Peter Prier Violin Shop and the Violin Making School of America. She and her family have lived in Morgan for 6 years. Emily Pfeifer was born and raised on the North shore of Oahu Hawaii. She has a degree in Music and Vocal Performance from BYU and a Master’s Degree in Choral Conducting from Butler University. She served a mission to Austria.

Emily has performed throughout the world and is a founding member of the Morgan Valley Arts Council and Director of the “Messiah” by the Morgan Valley Chamber Orchestra and Choir.

All who attended were inspired and left filled with the Spirit of Christmas. l

The life of the party and the biggest heart in the room gracefully exited this life in the early morning hours of Dec. 11, 2023. Surrounded by her family and enveloped in the love and strength from her Wimberley, Texas community, Tracy closed the final chapter on a life beautifully lived.

Tracy Lynn Calamari was born on May 1, 1967, in Salt Lake City, Utah, to her parents, Deanna and Larry Jensen.

Tracy spent her childhood years in the rural community of Morgan, Utah where she was involved in volleyball, drill team, and student government and was crowned Morgan County Fair Queen.

She loved living in Morgan and was always involved in making those around her better.

In December of 1994, Tracy married Dave Connelly, and shortly thereafter, the love of her life, Joseph Connelly was born. Joe and Tracy were a dynamic duo, with Tracy being Joe’s biggest fan and cheerleader. Through her amazing example, Tracy taught Joe how to love big and live big.

If you were blessed to be a friend or acquaintance of Tracy’s, she was the first to greet you with her beautiful singsong hello and sincere smile. You could count on her to build you up and make you feel like the most important person in the room. Tracy made everyday activities special, and she approached her days with joy.

In February of 2006, Tracy’s life forever changed when Peter Calamari swept her off her feet and together they made a new life in Wimberley, Texas.

Tracy fell in love with her new home and community. She jumped right into the Wimberley community by way of co-chairing numerous events, as well as serving as the Director at the Wimberley Community Center. Tracy was the ultimate hostess. Her background in hospitality spilled over into her personal life. She had a knack for making you feel special the moment you walked into her home. Whether through a signature cocktail, holiday decorations, or celebrating a small win, Tracy was always cheering and supporting others.

Tracy had a wonderful talent for creating memorable events. From establishing a long-running chili cook-off to Kentucky Derby parties and sharing holiday traditions, Tracy was the catalyst for many parties and celebrations. She will be remembered for bringing friends, families, and neighbors together.

Tracy was humble, giving, and caring, with a great sense of humor and an unwavering ability to see the bright side of any situation. She was such a positive influence on friends and family. Tracy enjoyed numerous hobbies, most of which involved creating gifts for others.

A skilled bargain shopper and crafter, Tracy's generosity extended to thoughtful gifts and care packages for others.

In 2016, Tracy was diagnosed with a cancerous brain tumor. Her 7-year courageous battle was faced with resilience, grace, and down-to-earth humor. The family extends gratitude to the many doctors and nurses at MD Anderson and Texas Oncology who fought to keep her with us. A special thank you to Milly, Kima, and Colleen at Blue Bonnet Palliative Care for the impeccable hospice care and support in her last hours.

Tracy, your laughter still echoes in our hearts, and your spirit will live on in the stories we tell.

Your legacy of love will not be forgotten.

Hollywood Q&A

By Adam Thomlison TV Media

Q: I just watched the movie “It Lives Inside.” I heard it was made by Jordan Peele, but I didn’t see his name anywhere in the credits.

A: Bishal Dutta, writer and director of 2023 horror film “It Lives Inside,” would argue that there are ways of “making” a movie that don’t include having a hand in the production.

“None of us that are getting to make interesting cultural horror films right now

— none of us get to do it without Jordan Peele and his incredible work on ‘Get Out,’” Dutta told ScreenGeek.net in August.

A: “Ever” is a long time, but for now, And he also has an indie film lined up, former “Seinfeld” star Jason Alexander hasn’t mentioned any plans to return to “Stealing Pulp Fiction,” about three people who try to steal director the sitcom genre.

Instead, he’s keeping busy by return- Quentin Tarantino’s personal print of ing to his first love — Broadway — and his 1994 classic “Pulp Fiction.”

All this is to say Alexander is keeping lining up some feature films on the quite busy, miles away from the sitcom side. format that made him famous.

This past summer he made his Broadway directing debut with “The Have a question? Email us at Cottage,” a comedy that ran for a little questions@tvtabloid.com. Please over three months at the Hayes include your name and town. Personal Theater.

Celebrity Profile

By Jay Bobbin TV Media

When you’ve starred in a long-running series, coming up with a followup can be a challenge.

Jon Cryer can testify to that. Having had a 12-season run in “Two and a Half Men,” he’s getting back to the business of weekly TV with “Extended Family.” The new NBC sitcom starts its regular run Tuesday, Jan. 2, after having a preview showing just before Christmas. Cryer and Abigail Spencer (“Timeless”) play a divorced couple who continue to share housing while taking turns raising their children (Finn Sweeney, Sofia Capanna); the arrangement is already delicate enough when the ex-wife gets a new love interest (“Scrubs” alum Donald Faison) who owns a sports team that counts the ex-husband among its biggest fans.

Cryer is also an executive producer of “Extended Family,” and he has altered his appearance by shaving his head. For some viewers, that may echo his portrayal of villain Lex Luthor in several of The CW’s former DC Comicsrelated series. However, he’s legendary to many movie fans as Duckie, who pined romantically for his best friend (Molly Ringwald) in the perennially popular, John Hughes-written 1986 movie “Pretty in Pink.”

While Cryer earned earlier comedyseries praise as a novice talent agent in “The Famous Teddy Z” (1989-90), if he has a signature TV role, it’s clearly Alan Harper in “Two and a Half Men” (2003-15). A nervous and lovelorn divorced parent much different from his carefree live-in brother Charlie (Charlie Sheen), Alan got a new housemate in tech tycoon Walden (Ashton Kutcher) for the show’s last three seasons. The change in co-stars placed a lot of responsibility on Cryer to keep the series afloat, which he did successfully by giving the program — still seen on such channels as TV Land, Paramount Network and IFC — those additional three years.
